Everything is Sacred and Alive

The following is part of a lucid dream, as recorded by Robert Waggoner in his book “Lucid Dreaming”:

I stop and look intently at the deep darkness. Is there evil in there?

Then, from within, I hear a voice deliver this message: “The light upholds the darkness.”And suddenly I know that behind all apparent evil or darkness is light; band that it’s light that gives us the sense of darkness.

Then I hear: “Everything is sacred and alive.” I intuitively realize that the light is in every living creature as a condition of its existence.

And then I hear something more clarifying: “Even the space between your fingers is sacred and alive.” I look at my outstretched hand and see the space between my fingers, that precious emptiness, and know with clarity that I live in a sacred universe, where even the apparent emptiness is aware and alive. With form or without, all is sacred and alive.

Even Negative Things Have a Sacredness

Even negative things have a sacredness to them, in their struggle. Don’t sacrifice their sacredness for your ego.

Example: Someone I love is having problems abusing medications, they’re unable to stop. I can turn on a music video with a catchy song about someone’s pill addiction problem, maybe I turn it on to make a joke for my entertainment, or to compare myself to “feel good” that I don’t have this problem. This is sacrificing the sacredness simply to feed the ego. Honor someone’s struggle, including your own. It is sacred. And while humor can be therapeutic and I believe even spiritual, ask yourself, are you feeding your Spirit or your Ego? With any move you make, are you feeding your Spirit, or your Ego?
