Lift up your spirits, with a little spot of soul. By Tijn Touber


Light worker causes disaster

A good friend of mine calls himself a “light worker”. He constantly travels the world to help people find the light inside them selves again. For some reason however, whenever he leaves a country usually something dramatic happens. The other day he was in Palestine where he did a praying session with a large group of people. Two days later torrential rains caused a mudslide and four people died on the very spot where he had done his healing session. I wondered: if our world is kept together by polarity (yin/yang; minus/plus; zero/one; matter/anti-matter), could it be that whenever my friend brings more light to some place, something or someone else automatically ends up in the dark? Somehow the overall balance has to be kept, right? If that is the case, then what good is my friend doing? We talked about this for many hours until another friend offered a beautiful insight. She said: “Our world doesn’t need the be saved, it needs to be loved.” What she meant to say, was that whenever we try to save someone, we judge that person as being wrong, bad, dark, victim, etc. We don’t see the person for what they really are, but reduce them to a fragment of the whole. This is how we create polarity and duality: good/bad; yin/yang; black/white, etc. The only way to escape from this dualistic mind set, is to go beyond all polarities to a place of oneness. Love does that. It doesn’t judge. It includes everything and everyone. When all are included, there is no need for anyone to stand in the dark. When no one stands in the dark, no one needs to be saved.

Aloha Tijn,

It is too bad that your good friend could not be in on this blog. He may have a very different perception of what his path is about.

Kind regards, Sher
