The Dark Side of Light Chasing

As humanity evolves and progresses through the cosmic journey, we find ourselves amidst the ascension process. This process signifies a collective elevation in consciousness and spiritual awareness. It is a time of great transformation and enlightenment, where individuals are called to explore their inner selves, elevate their vibrations, and align with higher levels of existence.

The principle of polarity, a fundamental concept in Hermetic teachings, plays a significant role in this ascension process. Just as the pendulum swings between opposites, we are encouraged to find balance within ourselves and transcend duality. By embracing both the light and the shadow aspects of our being, we can navigate through the ascension journey with more ease, and be guided by wisdom.

The principle of correspondence further illuminates the path of ascension by highlighting the interconnectedness and unity of the universe. As above, so below; as within, so without. This principle reminds us that everything in the cosmos is interconnected and mirrors each other in various scales. In the context of ascension, understanding the principle of correspondence allows us to recognize the reflections of our inner states in the outer world.

By cultivating harmony within ourselves, we can harmonize with the universal consciousness and elevate our reality to one of peace, love, and abundance. The ascension process becomes a dance of alignment and resonance with the higher frequencies of existence.

In embracing the ascension process and the principles of polarity and correspondence, we embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. By attuning ourselves to the ebb and flow of polarities and recognizing the interconnectedness of all things, we unveil the veils of illusion and step into a deeper understanding of our true nature. Through this journey, we learn to navigate the challenges and blessings of life with equanimity and compassion. The ascension process becomes a sacred pilgrimage towards inner and outer harmony, awakening the heart to the vast possibilities of joy, love, and unity that await us in the higher realms of consciousness.

Bringing in the Light vs Light Chasing

Bringing in the light is a process of self-discovery and illuminating awareness. In this process, we become more aware (through mindfulness practices and other techniques) of our thoughts, emotions, and actions to gain deeper insight into ourselves and the world around us. This process allows us to become more present and intentional in our daily lives, fostering a sense of clarity, peace, and connection.

Organically acquired illuminated awareness refers to a natural and authentic process of self-discovery that unfolds gradually over time and through experience. It is a gentle and nurturing practice that encourages reflection, growth, and self-compassion. In this process, we learn; unlearn; and relearn - while moving through our daily lives and making more conscious choices (which lead to fresh, new experiences).

In contrast, light chasing is a phenomenon where individuals seek external validation, approval, or material success as a means to feel fulfilled or complete. It involves chasing after fleeting pleasures, external achievements (and recognition), or keeping up with societal standards in the hopes of finding happiness or meaning. However, this external pursuit often leads to a sense of emptiness, disconnection, or dissatisfaction as the source of light is temporary and dependent on external factors.

Light chasing can create a cycle of craving more without ever feeling truly satisfied or content. This simple truth applies to concepts like adopting a "spiritual identity" to feel validated; seeking status recognition within certain societies or spiritual groups; and focusing exclusively on manifestation without tending to unconscious content, as well (to name a few).

Light chasing leaves the soul hungry, as does any form of pure materialism. The egoic aspects of mind will play tricky games with seekers, aspirants, and initiates who dedicate themselves to outcome-oriented ascension goals.

It is important to note here that every soul has its own unique journey, which may include achieving certain levels of material success and external acknowledgments. When material success and/or acknowledgment is part of a soul's agenda for personification, the riches and recognition acquired in the external always follow a series of deep internal transformations anchored in true spiritual devotion and focused on supporting the soul's growth. In this case, external success and/or recognition is a natural after-effect of evolved consciousness (not light chasing).

By understanding the differences between organically acquired illuminated awareness and light chasing, we can cultivate a deeper, enduring sense of self-awareness, inner peace, and true joy. Organic illuminated awareness encourages us to look inward, practice self-reflection, and to embrace our authentic selves. It empowers us to live in alignment with our own values, our unique passions, and our soul's purpose.

This avenue of commitment to the ascension path leads us to a more fulfilling and meaningful life that flows from an evolved consciousness and resurrected divine energies.

On the other hand, recognizing the pitfalls of light chasing can help us break free from the need for external validation, release societal expectations, and cultivate a sense of inner worth and contentment that is not dependent on external factors. By embracing the true light of consciousness and nurturing organic illuminating awareness, we can cultivate a sense of engrained inner light that shines brightly from within, guiding us towards a path of magical living and heart-centered fulfillment.
