at first light

The sun is not only a celestial body, it also has an appointed psychic reality. As such, it is as much the experience of light as consciousness as it is the light of the day. The bringer of vision, of making us the recipients to mediate the potentiality of everything that is in a cosmic darkness. To observe the transformation of psyche to matter, and the experience of the circles of life. In this way, as the night sky and the earth are separated by him, he is borne by their embrace. And as such they are part of us. We are part of this within us at the same time as it is also the infinite totality that is all around us. We are as one as everything is one to us. And everything we do in this greater oneness we also do to ourselves. Thats like the law of reciprocity. If we do not listen to it, we get lost in contradictions and go mad. If we only acknowledge one side, identify us with it, we run the risk of becoming its all in oneness, we believe we are the only truth. That there is only one tangible and exterior version of life, and in that one sidedness, we try to disown its effect on us. But in the common totality in which we also are, all the qualities we see in ourselves and in others, all these opposites are also our own. They are qualities in the psychic essence that exist both in us, and in that larger whole that we experience in everything, both as something we are part of, and as something within ourselves. It is only in this extended sense of beingness we do not infect others with ourselves. Where we not only choose to acknowledge those qualities who allow us to accept our compromise with others.
