Be The Light for others

The earth is predominantly comprised of malevolent entities rather than benevolent ones. It is replete with evil, and we were born into this malevolent environment. Consequently, our existence will be characterized by an incessant struggle to survive amidst this pervasive evil, while concurrently endeavoring to acquire the necessities for a fulfilling life. This perpetual struggle will persist, and we will encounter numerous challenges and difficulties as time progresses. Despite our efforts to circumvent it, evil will persistently beset us, owing to its ubiquity and predominance over good. Therefore, it will remain an impediment, obstructing our access to the necessities we require, and prioritizing its own interests over ours. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fact that evil preceded good. The world was initially shrouded in darkness and replete with evil, prior to the emergence of good. The earth was initially enveloped in this darkness, before the divine separation of light from darkness. Consequently, evil will persistently confront us, endeavoring to undermine our pursuit of goodness, until we collectively rise against it. Nevertheless, our existence will not be devoid of challenges, as evil will persistently endeavor to impede our progress, thereby rendering our pursuit of goodness arduous. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fact that darkness preceded light, and the earth was initially characterized by an absence of harmony, with all entities in a state of discord. However, darkness will not relinquish its dominance, thereby allowing goodness to prevail, as it is inextricably linked to the earth. Furthermore, we require the necessities of life to sustain ourselves, albeit temporarily, and must exert considerable effort to acquire them. Despite the ephemeral nature of these necessities, we must still strive to attain them, as evil endeavors to deprive us of our rightful existence. The creation of the world was not an effortless endeavor for the Creator, as darkness preceded light, and the former's malevolent nature was apparent. The world, in its initial state, was replete with evil, and this darkness persists, enveloping the world to this day. The Creator fashioned the world and its inhabitants, and it is evident that evil preceded the creation of everything. This is substantiated by the fact that, upon attaining awareness of the evil that pervades the earth, we commence a relentless struggle against one another for the sake of temporary existence. Subsequently, darkness continued to envelop the earth, rendering our existence a perpetual struggle, as we confront numerous challenges and difficulties on our journey through life. This is attributable to the fact that we were born into an environment characterized by evil, which is, in essence, hell itself. The earth, in its current state, is hell, and many individuals erroneously believe that hell is a distinct entity, such as heaven. However, heaven is, in fact, a realm of eternal rest, reserved for those who successfully navigate the challenges of life, where they will experience perpetual peace and happiness. In heaven, there will be no suffering, pain, or struggle, and all inhabitants will be exempt from the difficulties and hardships that characterize life on earth. We will not be required to engage in physical labor or confront the numerous challenges that we face in our daily lives. On earth, we are beset by suffering, struggle, and hardship, as we endeavor to sustain ourselves, while navigating the complexities of life, and grappling with the challenges of survival. In contrast, heaven will be a realm of eternal peace and happiness, where we will be exempt from the difficulties and hardships that characterize life on earth. The question that arises is, how will we navigate the challenges of life and ultimately attain heaven?

Why are we denying the reality that we are placing individuals with questionable integrity in positions of power? Someone, however, appears to be compromised; can't we acknowledge this? When will we recognize and address these issues? When the brain is dysfunctional, it cannot function properly. It is impaired and cannot effectively govern. Furthermore, if the brain has been conditioned to operate in a corrupt manner from the outset, it will persist in its corrupt behavior. For instance, if someone derives happiness from indulging in excessive revelry, they will experience distress if they are unable to participate in such activities. Consequently, their mental focus will be fixated on engaging in these activities. Similarly, if an individual derives pleasure from tormenting others, their brain will be preoccupied with inflicting harm on others, as this is what brings them joy. Until when, then, will we be able to recognize the truth? Will it be when we are all severely impacted by the consequences of our inaction? There is no way to predict when this will occur, as the individual in question is compromised and unable to acknowledge their own flaws. If we are unable to discern what is wrong and distinguish between good and evil, this individual will continue to undermine the progress made by previous generations, which has enabled us to enjoy the benefits we have today. Meanwhile, life was not intended to be centered around one individual who seeks to accumulate everything for themselves. When we prioritize the well-being of others, our focus is on the destructive work of malevolent forces, but we are denying this reality. Everything is deteriorating daily, why? The reason is not the result of a series of 'why' questions. The problem lies with us, as if we refuse to accept the truth, we are all in danger. The current situation is akin to depositing money in a bank while simultaneously putting lives at risk. How can we trust an individual who is unable to maintain their own thoughts or words? An individual who is incapable of making up their mind and staying focused on a particular subject. Their actions clearly indicate that they are not well; why can't we accept this reality and respond accordingly to the truth that is evident to all of us? An elderly person cannot behave in this manner; at the very least, they are not well. A normal individual cannot exhibit this behavior; at the very least, there is something wrong with them. And they refuse to acknowledge that they are not well. Simply put, anyone who is unable to acknowledge their own wrongdoing is incapable of governing others. How can they govern if they lack the clarity of thought to make informed decisions for the benefit of others and themselves? By denying our own well-being, we are putting our lives in danger by entrusting power to an individual who is unable to speak coherently due to the debilitating effects of their condition. Because if this individual is unable to advocate for us by doing what is right, what do we expect will happen next? They are not even acknowledging their own age, nor are they behaving in a manner that is becoming of their position, instead, they are consumed by a desire to torment others and accumulate power. This is not normal behavior. 

We become infuriated with one another and harbor sorrow in our hearts due to the turmoil we experience towards those who provoke it. Why do we persist in retaining this anguish? It is because they incite such intense anger within us that we are unable to release it. Why do we choose to harbor this sentiment? It is unnecessary to endure this emotional burden, yet we can relinquish it instantly if we permit ourselves to do so. It will dissipate without our conscious awareness or deliberation. Consider it thus: as if nothing had transpired or altered. Occasionally, we internalize immense pain, fretting about the actions of others towards us. The optimal approach to addressing this issue is to renounce malevolent influences and persist in upholding virtuous principles. It will not be detrimental to us; rather, it will facilitate the elimination of detrimental thought patterns and concerns that are unhealthy for us. Certain individuals may overburden their minds with stress, which can precipitate anxiety, simply because they harbor hatred and are unable to release it. Consequently, it is not prudent to perpetuate mental anguish due to the wrongdoing of others against us. Furthermore, we are not harming them; we are harming ourselves. The individual who may be the object of our concern will not be present to worry about us when we are preoccupied with tormenting our minds with thoughts of them. Allow events to unfold as they are, for they were not designed for us. Many of us are unable to accept that we are all human beings, formed to live and die. Therefore, we should consistently relinquish our attachment to events without troubling our hearts about them. Events can pass if we permit them to; it will also liberate us. Let us hope for universal happiness and be able to cope with anything that induces pain. Filling our hearts with turmoil against ourselves due to the actions of others does not harm the feelings of the individual who provokes our anger, but rather harms us. When they endeavor to infuriate others, as they do not wish to witness their happiness, it is a malevolent act. We aspire to happiness for ourselves when we wish sorrow upon others. We strive to inflict pain and unhappiness upon others when we desire happiness for ourselves. We attempt to destroy the lives of others and supplant them. It is lamentable to witness and acknowledge the hearts that harbor malevolence towards others. It is painful, yet many of us fail to comprehend the pain due to a lack of awareness. Meanwhile, it is a sentiment that can persist in the mind, prompting introspection and inquiry. As the mind continues to ponder, asking itself, questioning why these events transpire repeatedly. Naturally, everyone deserves to experience happiness, living life with ease, despite the fact that life will never be effortless. At the very least, there will be happiness and serenity in the mind, and consequently, happiness will surround us, regardless of circumstances. On the other hand, we often dislike witnessing others' joy when we ourselves are experiencing happiness. Why, then, do we laugh if we do not wish to see others laugh? It may seem illogical, yet it is logical, for the mind craves serenity. Thus, others can also laugh, for laughter is universal. Do we desire to witness more sorrow than happiness in order to feel better? Life was not designed to be this way, for it is the natural course of events: as night falls and days pass, we laugh to ourselves, content in our own happiness. People revel in happiness together, and shared laughter accelerates the passage of time. When a new day approaches, replete with its own set of challenges, let us address our own problems, allowing others to cope with their own issues in a manner that brings them solace. Should we, however, perpetuate this cycle of anger towards one another on a daily basis? By no means. Moreover, it is an unpredictable aspect of life, as we are uncertain when we will encounter sorrow and happiness. We proceed through life with joy, unaware of the potential sorrow that may await us on our journey. It is an inevitability; how do we respond? Can we relinquish it? Yes, we can, through peaceful means. It emerged unexpectedly, much like the unpredictable nature of life. It is precisely how circumstances can escalate if we fail to exercise self-control.

In life, it is essential to cultivate love and compassion towards others, while safeguarding one's emotional well-being by keeping one's heart in a secure place, protected from malevolent influences. Building a Kingdom of love around it and nourishing it with pure intentions is vital. While open communication is important, it is equally crucial not to divulge one's deepest secrets all at once. This is because once everyone is privy to one's innermost thoughts, there will be nothing left to share. It is prudent to adopt a measured approach, taking things one step at a time, and sharing one's thoughts and feelings in a gradual and discerning manner. The heart is a mysterious entity, and its workings are not fully understood. However, it is essential to exercise discretion and not allow one's mind to reveal the secrets of one's heart. Ultimately, honesty and transparency are essential in our interactions with others. Conversely, withholding the truth can lead to the exposure of one's innermost secrets, resulting in disrespect and erosion of trust. There was a man who married a woman, and they had two children. Every day, he would regale his wife with the same story every night. Over time, his wife became intimately familiar with his thoughts and feelings, as he had shared the same story repeatedly. One night, he returned home from a friend's house and began recounting the same story to his wife. She expressed her fatigue with the story, stating that she had heard it repeatedly over the years and implored him to refrain from sharing it further. This man had no secrets left to share, and his wife had grown weary of his repetitive storytelling. We must be mindful of the fact that we cannot constantly share our negative thoughts and feelings with others, as this can lead to their disdain and dislike. Instead, our thoughts and words should be constructive and edifying, earning us the respect and admiration of others. It is essential to recognize that our actions and words have consequences, and if we present ourselves as flawed and imperfect, others may view us with disdain. Conversely, if we strive to be fair and just in our interactions with others, they are more likely to respect and appreciate us. We must endeavor to conceal our innermost thoughts and feelings, not with deceit or manipulation, but with tact and discretion. At the very least, we should strive to present ourselves in a positive and respectful manner, even if it is just once. Furthermore, observing how others communicate effectively can be instructive and help us refine our own communication skills. Revealing our innermost thoughts and feelings all at once can render us vulnerable to the opinions and judgments of others. If we desire to earn the respect and admiration of others, we must conduct ourselves in a manner that is worthy of their esteem. There are many individuals who will appreciate and value us if we demonstrate that we care for and respect them. Moreover, it is essential to recognize that if we do not like or respect others, they are unlikely to reciprocate our feelings. If we present ourselves in a negative or unflattering light, others may view us with disdain. Ultimately, our actions and words have consequences, and we reap what we sow. 

Why did God create minds with such diverse characteristics, rendering each individual incapable of comprehending the thoughts and emotions of another? This complexity is indeed a deliberate design by God. Conversely, an individual can effortlessly destroy positive aspects, leaving others with empty promises through the employment of hollow words, particularly when those surrounding them are unable to grasp their mindset. In many instances, we struggle to decipher the precise thoughts within an individual's mind. Elucidating the underlying meaning behind this phenomenon requires time; however, everything can rapidly disintegrate due to the same mental faculties. How long will it take us to recognize that the mind is seeking something beyond our comprehension, while deceiving us with empty words? The persistent actions that continue unabated ought to enable us to immediately comprehend that the mind is incapable of discerning good from evil. Since this mind is not receiving the necessary sustenance to achieve freedom, it will persist in destroying things in various ways. Observing and understanding the intricate functioning of the mind is no easy task. The mind remains unpeaceful due to its failure to grasp the essence of reality, and it cannot cease engaging in perilous activities, thereby bringing everything to destruction, as the mind is not at rest. For instance, two individuals residing in the same household may not comprehend each other, but their actions will convey to the neighbors across the street that one of them is not a virtuous person, whereas the other is. Although we are incapable of understanding the inner workings of the mind, actions serve as a reflection of the mind's contents. A man who consistently beats his wife while pretending to be a good person to others is, in fact, not a virtuous individual. If he were genuinely virtuous, he would not engage in beating his wife daily while feigning goodness to the neighbors. A virtuous person cannot pretend to be good to one party and evil to another; a virtuous person will consistently exhibit goodness, regardless of circumstances. Conversely, an evil person will perpetually exhibit malevolence, regardless of circumstances. Instead, an evil person will only deteriorate further if things do not unfold in their favor, as they possess an unpeaceful mind. The mind can be unpeaceful, yet focused on virtuous thoughts, and still maintain a sense of peace. Minds are incredibly complex to comprehend due to God's deliberate design. If we all possessed identical minds, we would behave in a uniform manner. We can attempt to understand the mind by observing the actions of numerous individuals within a neighborhood. God designed it this way so that He alone can comprehend each mind. Suppose we constructed a beautiful residence for everyone to inhabit, live in harmony, and depart in peace. If one individual entered this residence, utilizing it for discussions that were not intended for the house, and tarnishing the house's reputation in the eyes of others, why would we permit this individual to continue residing in the house when they are misusing it? The house was designed for constructive activities, so why is it being utilized in this manner? What is transpiring in the minds of many at present? Are we content with the current state of affairs? Of course not; everyone is discontent when things are not progressing smoothly. Why? Because the house was designed for the collective benefit, but the type of mind utilizing it is seeking something disparate from ours. The mind is not at rest; it is striving to create chaos that can destroy others, including the house. The unpeaceful mind cannot cease causing problems, as it is not receiving what it desires, and it will persist in causing problems and inflicting pain upon others until it achieves its destructive objectives.

What transpires when we develop a profound affection for something or someone? We endeavor to sustain that relationship by allowing it to persist between us and the object of our affection. Isn't that both astonishing and accurate? We develop attachments to things and activities because they provide us with precisely what we desire. This affords us the opportunity to maintain proximity to the things we cherish. We also provide protection in every aspect to safeguard those things because we derive benefits from them. Consequently, due to our affection, we can unequivocally declare our love for it before numerous nations. This is precisely what is occurring here. Our lives have fallen into the hands of individuals who are indifferent to our well-being. They have devised a means of accumulating wealth by soliciting financial contributions repeatedly, and they succeed in doing so because they perceive us as uninformed about their corrupt practices. We must acknowledge that when we develop a profound affection for someone or something, there must be a compelling reason underlying our attachment. Of course, it is because it serves their interests, and we become exploitable in their eyes. That is why in life, there will always be a rationale for loving someone or something. Why do you harbor affection for her? Why do you love him? Why do we develop an attachment to wealth? Occasionally, we must pose these questions when someone professes their love. Why do you love me? Do we truly comprehend the nature of love? We must recognize that love in the kingdom of heaven operates differently than it does on earth. If we develop a profound affection for a business, it implies that the business provides us with a financial benefit. If not, why would we develop an attachment to it? The answer is straightforward: we derive financial gain from it. That is why we have developed an attachment to that business. For instance, we have witnessed war on earth for numerous years. Why? Because those in positions of power develop an attachment to war because it provides them with precisely what they desire. Do we believe they genuinely care about us? No, they do not. Instead, they prioritize wealth over human lives. Do some of us develop an attachment to war? If so, then explain why you love war. Is there a rationale underlying your affection? Of course, there are numerous reasons. There are many reasons why we abhor war, and there are many reasons why they develop an attachment to it. For us, we value human lives, whereas they are indifferent to the well-being of others. We comprehend the value of life; they fail to grasp the reality of life. They accumulate wealth through war, while we suffer loss of life. As humans, we become insignificant to them, as bloodshed holds no value to them when it is not their own. Consequently, they prioritize wealth and will continue to pursue their objectives. They have conspired to harm people, and it will remain their mission. The wealth they accumulate is a direct result of shedding the blood of innocent civilians, and it is the mission of those who fail to comprehend the value of life. Those who engage in this behavior are indifferent to human life; instead, they prioritize their own interests. It is evident that they develop an attachment to war because it provides them with what they desire. When we experience pain daily, it is clear that understanding life does not stem from engaging in war. The world is vast; we acknowledge this. There are numerous individuals in the world; how can we comprehend them? All these people hold diverse opinions about the things they love to do. How do we come to know them if they are distant from us? We come to know them through their words. How many times must someone demonstrate their malevolent nature before we acknowledge it? Not more than two to three times. Because if two people attest that a particular individual is malevolent, it implies that they have observed something in that person that renders them unworthy. Nevertheless, we have chosen to maintain a relationship with this individual. We do not require the entire world to recognize that the person is not virtuous. When their words have made it clear to us that they are who they are, we develop an attachment to what the person is doing, and that is why we have chosen to maintain a relationship with them. Consequently, let us not lament. We do not need to be in close proximity to individuals to comprehend their nature. The world is vast, as we previously stated. We must endeavor to understand one another through the words that emanate from our lips. If they live in a state of loving hate, then they will perpetuate their love of hate until the end, as it provides them with precisely what they deserve. And we are the ones who suffer pain because we perceive the reality.

The conflict is not against physical force, but rather against malevolent forces. The struggle is against Satan and his minions. Many individuals may utter prayers repeatedly, but the prayers we offer are already known to God before we even articulate them. The battle is against Satan, and its outcome depends on the veracity within us. We were born to combat darkness, and as long as we exist, darkness will not prevail over light. This confrontation is between truth and those who oppose it. The light is gradually overcoming darkness, employing wisdom as its approach. The portal to heaven was sealed, and the key was concealed beneath an unknown tree, as the conflict persisted. It is essential to comprehend this struggle; we are not compensated for engaging in this battle or documenting it. However, we have dedicated our hearts to the truth and to God, the creator. Only those who possess spiritual insight can grasp the nature of this conflict. The light is steadily conquering darkness. We should not be astonished by the current state of the world. All these events were destined to occur in our time. As darkness has been endeavoring to supplant light, the light is countering with righteousness, not anger, but love and peace. The universe has always been a spiritual realm, and all celestial bodies are combating darkness. As they embody the light of the universe, they will not permit darkness to dominate. Time and again, the stars have converged to oppose darkness. We have witnessed Satan's downfall, hearing him exclaim 'kill' as we restrained him during the battle. We have vanquished Satan, and soon his power will wane. We saw him weep, pleading 'kill me' as the sword was poised at his neck by the angels of light. Ultimately, he is succumbing to pressure and is on the cusp of surrender. Nevertheless, the conflict is far from over; it persists. We must not forget that we are currently engaged in this battle. We have learned to combat him from the inception of our existence, and we will not forget the dynamics of this struggle. Sometimes, it is prudent to remain silent when there is nothing to say, but be aware of the events unfolding in the darkness. We have twice witnessed Satan under the sword, crying 'kill me.' This is a sign of his surrender to the light. As the light has only just begun to assert itself, we will never permit darkness to prevail over light. If we do, the future of all living beings will be imperiled, and their well-being will dissipate as hell overtakes, annihilating everyone. If you have witnessed these events, refrain from speaking, but continue to fight with righteousness; it is the sole means of preventing Satan from dominating the well-being system. We have endured numerous trials and engaged in many battles throughout our lives, fighting spiritually, not for personal gain, but for the world we inhabit. We will continue to wage this war against darkness until the end of our days, and ultimately, we will reap our reward.

What existential concerns should we harbor in life? Many individuals have misused fear, mistakenly believing that we are invulnerable to harm, thereby placing ourselves in peril. Fear is a prudent starting point, as it marks the beginning of comprehension. The Bible teaches that fear is the precursor to knowledge and understanding. Nonetheless, it appears that the concept of fear has not been taken seriously. If we were to approach fear with the gravity it deserves, we would not find ourselves in our current predicament, where we exhibit a lack of reverence for God despite centuries of religious teachings. How can we cultivate a healthy fear of God if we do not first harbor a fear for our own well-being? The concept of fear is not intended for God, but rather for us to apply to our own lives. It serves as a cautionary voice, speaking to us, not to God. We must learn to harness the power of fear in a positive manner. Currently, we are misusing fear, but by leveraging it effectively, we can reap benefits. What should we fear, and what should we not fear? We may mistakenly believe that we are invulnerable to harm and subsequently place ourselves in danger. The issue stems from those who are misinterpreting the concept of fear. When someone advises us to 'fear God' without providing context, people may wonder how to fear God. They may question why they need to fear a benevolent deity. God does not desire us to fear Him, but rather to fear committing evil acts. We must grasp the true meaning of fear. We are encouraged to fear God, but how, and what exactly should we fear? Sometimes, it is necessary to experience fear, as we cannot discern the intentions of others. We cannot fear God if we do not first harbor a fear for our own lives. Before we can fear God, we must fear engaging in destructive behavior that can harm our lives. We must fear committing evil acts, speaking maliciously, stealing, killing, and engaging in any behavior that causes harm. By doing so, we will come to understand that the fear of the Lord is the precursor to wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We must fear causing harm to one another. We may be aware of the consequences of our actions, but what we often overlook is that a single mistake can have fatal consequences, and we will not have the opportunity to encounter God. Satan will claim us immediately for that one transgression. This is why we must genuinely fear committing evil acts, as we are unaware of when our lives may take a turn for the worse. We must fear engaging in destructive behavior in order to preserve our own lives. We must fear evil in all its forms. By doing so, we will save our own souls. We must strive to live a life that is devoid of evil, rather than one that is characterized by malevolence. We should not fear doing what is right, but rather fear doing what is wrong. Our lives can be cut short simply because we refuse to fear evil, but by avoiding problems and fearing malevolence, we can preserve our well-being.

We occasionally engage in detrimental behavior despite being aware of its negative consequences. This phenomenon is particularly pertinent when we are in a relationship with God, as He reveals to us the potential repercussions of succumbing to sin. Given our capacity to distinguish between good and evil, it is essential that we distance ourselves from malevolent influences and nurture our relationship with God perpetually. Throughout this process, God is able to provide us with admonitions, cautioning us against persisting in destructive behavior that can harm both ourselves and our relationship with Him. One of the ways He accomplishes this is through dream warnings, which offer a glimpse into the potential consequences of succumbing to sin. In a dream I had, I found myself traveling to an unknown destination with a companion. As we journeyed, the surroundings grew increasingly dark, and we quickened our pace, despite being uncertain of our destination. The path we traversed was narrow, and we soon encountered a figure dressed in a black coat, who appeared to be a guide. He was lying down, seemingly unaware of our approach. As we drew near, he arose quietly, rubbed the sleep from his eyes, and extended his hand, offering me a paper to sign. My companion, however, cautioned me against accepting the paper, advising me to walk away quietly. We promptly heeded this advice and began to walk away rapidly, leaving the guide standing beside his bed. He inquired about our language, and we continued on our way, walking swiftly. The guide remarked, 'I am familiar with your language; your people have frequented this place.' As he finished speaking, two individuals appeared, conversing with us in our native tongue. Initially, we perceived them as benevolent guides who could facilitate our journey. However, as we continued walking with them, they revealed their true intentions. Upon reaching the crest of a broken bridge, they attempted to dismantle the structure, seeking to precipitate our downfall. My companion urged me to flee, and we successfully crossed the bridge, leaving our would-be assailants behind. Subsequently, we encountered a woman who warned us of impending danger, advising us to alert others. We deviated from our original path and opted for an alternative route that wound its way through a mountain. As we ascended, we encountered Satan, who was perched atop the mountain on horseback. I exclaimed, 'We are doomed; Satan is present, let us retreat.' My companion, however, asserted that retreat was not an option. Satan, upon hearing this, extended his hand, beckoning me to ascend to the summit. I rebuffed his advances, exclaiming, 'Leave me be, Satan.' With no viable means of escape, Satan reached out once more, attempting to grasp my left shoulder and pull me upward. I attempted to flee, but ultimately fell to the ground, at which point the dream concluded. This dream served as a poignant reminder of the perils of succumbing to sin. Despite being aware of the detrimental consequences of our actions, we often prioritize self-gratification. This dream underscored the importance of resisting such inclinations, as they can have far-reaching and devastating repercussions. Had I signed the proffered paper, I would have effectively sealed my fate, surrendering to the forces of darkness. The appearance of Satan served as a stark reminder of the consequences of succumbing to sin, and the imperative of resisting his influence. Ultimately, this dream served as a clarion call to vigilance, urging me to remain mindful of the dangers that lurk in the shadows, seeking to lead me astray.
