Bringing in Light

by Dr. Wayne Dyer

An excerpt from the book:
"There's a spiritual solution to every problem"

I suggest that you view yourself as a being of light, a fast moving energy system that has the capacity to make darkness disappear. You are the carrier of this light. You radiate this light wherever you go and you are able to help yourself and others triumph over darkness. In addition to thinking of light as a fast moving energy vibration, I would like you to consider light as an attitude. That is, you can choose to either think light or think dark. When you are thinking light you bring to any set of problems an uncontaminated clarity that can dissolve difficulties. Perhaps you have heard someone talk of surrounding a friend or loved one with white light in times of perceived potential darkness. These comments reflect the awareness that light is protective and pure, and that it can protect someone from dangerous or harmful energies. Putting white light around a loved one is another way of sending loving thoughts and trusting in the energetic thoughts to assist in keeping the person safe. These are thoughts of light, wherein you choose to think of a loving light, visualizing it being sent by you to do the work of spirit. Intuitively we know that thoughts of light will dispel darkness just as surely as turning on a light switch will illuminate a dark room.

“Where there is darkness, let me bring light.” - Saint Francis of Assisi

Purity. Light implies purity. When you are able to bring purity to that which is impure you are fulfilling the wish of Saint Francis along with bringing a spiritual solution to the problem. Purity as applied to the physical realm means a clean, clear, unpolluted, unadulterated presence as in pure water, pure air, pure blood, or pure food. The process of purification eliminates the problems of disease, foul air or bacteria. This is also true with our thoughts and behaviors in the presence of impurities.
Problems exist for us when we allow ourselves to have debased thoughts. When our thoughts become impure they create contamination in our lives and in the lives of those around us. Conflicts arise when we move into the lower frequencies of drunkenness, lust, unclean living, violence, substance abuse, profanity and the like. A purified presence is just like light, or the absence of the dark. By bringing this sense of purification into the areas where impurities reside, you are able to affect a spiritual solution to the problems of an unclean or muddied mind.
Recently I happened to be in a park at night where a large collection of young people was gathered for a high school graduation celebration. It became apparent that drinking and drug use were taking their toll on the young adults. Soon the profanity and threats of physical fighting won out and the young people were squarring off to do battle. I thought of this line from the Saint Francis prayer. I saw darkness in the form of impurity everywhere running rampant.
So, I began to walk into the center of this burgeoning melee, consciously radiating thoughts of light, saying nothing but just surrounding the entire commotion with light. In a matter of moments the young people began to disperse and the violent threats subsided. It was clear to me that it was possible to send pure loving light into this low energy and that it impacted the young people without them even being aware of what I was doing. You can access the purity of your soul, bringing your senior partner's unconditional loving pure light to the presence of any impurity. By radiating that kind of pure light outward you can affect those around you.
When you enter the space of those who live, breathe, and practice thinking light thoughts, you can feel the lighter energy in the room. As Patanjali suggested, all living creatures cease to feel enmity in the presence of those who are steadfast in their absention from having harmful, impure thoughts. This is bringing light to the presence of darkness, and the more you decide to practice it, the more you will be an emissary of light. Impure thinking and behavior cannot stand up to the power of your pure light, any more than darkness can stand up to the presence of light.

Send out white light and bathe others in it. Remember, everything is energy. Solid, sound, light, thoughts, spirit are movements, waves that vibrate to a certain frequency. You can be an emissary of light and help others to eradicate darkness in their lives. Think light and also practice meditating and visualizing the white, clear, pure light enveloping anyone you choose. If you doubt your ability to accomplish this, or if you feel that sending light through your thoughts and meditation is impossible then that will be your experience. Shift your inner consciousness to the thought that no one knows enough to be a pessimist. Then you will be able to transmit the light at the highest/fastest vibrations where anything is possible.
I practice sending white light, as does my wife, on a regular basis.
If any of our children are out late, we remind each other to bathe them in light and send them the energy of spirit which is love, and to let that loving light energy sweep over them. We then have a picture in our mind of light rather than darkness and danger.
I have also studied auras, which are light energies that surround us much like an electrical energy field. These auras can be read and altered by the ways in which we practice spirituality. In fact, Kirlian photography shows an aura of light surrounding living things, usually unseen by the naked eye. If this light is there, and we can alter it with our thoughts and emotions, then why not realize that we can use our thoughts to send this pure light to help protect anyone from the darkness. Try it, with a mind that is open to everything, and attached to nothing.
