Light - only frightens those who are not trying to improve

05/15/2012

On the whole, demons and the darkness of hell do not frighten people that much. What many are afraid of the most is divine light. And, actually, this is quite understandable: they still feel deep down a need to give free rein to their instincts and passions; they flee from the light, as it will show them that the life they are leading is mediocre, criminal even. They do not wish to give up any of their bad habits, and they cannot bear anything that might show them they are bad. When people do not want to make any effort to improve themselves, they close their eyes, cover their ears and convince themselves they are fine the way they are. All those who fear the light do not really know why, but they feel instinctively that something in it threatens what they believe to be their happiness. Only those who have a sincere wish to evolve, to change, seek out the light, as it will show them everything about them that needs to be improved as well as how to improve it.
