What is an affectation? It is a way of acting when you feel you must behave and speak a certain way to achieve a certain effect. Humans take on affectations. The soul needs no accoutrements. The soul knows it is always and already whole. You, at the soul level, need no affectation. Find this state in you, this spaceless, spacious state, and you will affect others in ways you have not imagined, for they will feel this radiance, this natural Light. Turn it up, why don’t you? It is why you are here. You are so very loved.
Hello Suzanne,
I truly know that my soul needs no affectation. I shine my light as bright as I can but what if people around you are not in touch with their souls and douse your brightness. Living from the soul brings suffering in the human experience. Is it ok to ask for the cross to be taken away.
To Alone,
The dousing of your brightness is an affectation you have accepted from the dousers. Simply do not accept their dousing and know you do not need to figure out their intents. They do.
You need to figure out why you accepted their dousing.. That understood, your burden will have been dissolved and you will understand the information so that attempts to douse your light need never have effect upon you again. You are free to be who you are and whom you become.
