Lighting my Candle

"The soul of man is the candle of God" (Proverbs 20:27) This is a perfect metaphor of the relationship to God. We, humans, work to prepare the candle. We do our best to create a good candle to offer to God, so that he may, at the proper time, lite it. While waiting for this to happen we should  pray/ask for His Intervention and continuously work on ourselves in order to keep improving. It doesn't matter how good we are: it's not a granted result that God will lite our candle. The right time it's all up to Him! I summarised the process: 1. Building the Candle (Your Part) ​You cannot light a flame without a physical vessel. "Building the candle" means doing the practical, human work to be and become the best of you. The Wax: represents your character traits—even the "messy" ones. ​The Wick: represents your will and your daily efforts. ​The Placement: means putting yourself in the right environment to be "lit." 2.

Getting rid of bonds

 


Step after step, getting rid of bonds, malicious bonds, which hold you captive like in a mold, a matrix, you learned to consider your skin…

It takes time.

The first step is to realise you are in a mold. When you fully realise it, you just want to liberate yourself, and yet you can’t. Every time you try to cut the ties that keep you in the mold, you simply can’t. Fear and strong guilt feelings are the major hindrance. Therefore you step back, suddenly ashamed of yourself for that kind of pride that pushes you out of the common rules, daring too much. Now you see how wild you were. Submissive and obedient you feel docile and pious again, and the blessings pour onto you. You are back, well protected inside the mold.

And yet, after some time here it is again: that deep push inside. Again you feel tremendously lucid in your thoughts and feelings. You clearly see the inner prison which binds you like in a spell. You realise that indeed: it is a spell! And again you feel that terrible urge inside to severing ties. But you can’t. There is not enough strength inside.

Once again, the rebellious wave calms down and once more you humbly go back in the ranks.

Eventually, one day, totally out of the blue, without any sign that could reveal you were getting ready, something of minor importance happens, and you simply cut off everything which was still binding you to situations and people, holding you hostage in their emotional and pseudo moral blackmail! And you are out of the mold, out of the matrix. Surprised that everything happened without any effort, but very smoothly, simply and naturally!
