Nature sometimes provides us with a mirror of the landscape within us. Fog at the seashore may completely obscure the ocean until sunlight filters through and begins to burn away the mist. The clouds of our own unknowing may block our vision of Truth until a light from the center of our being begins to shine through. Then comes the question, what can we do to help bring forth this inner light?
We can begin by stepping back from the world of thoughts, feelings, past and future and observe without judgment. This is sometimes called becoming the witness. When we take one step back from our mind to observe, we are taking one step closer to the Light we seek. Now there is more space around the difficulties before us and more light shining through.
