From Darkness to Lit!
What will it take for us to move from darkness to light? Are you ready to get lit? I’m not talking about the fleeting excitement of a concert or when someone is under the influence of alcohol or other mind-altering substances, but rather, a radiant awakening of the Divine spark within. To be “Lit” is to emerge from the shadows of limiting beliefs, ignite the eternal flame of Spirit, and shine as a beacon of love and purpose.
Our world often feels shrouded in what Shaman Durek, in his transformative book Spirit Hacking, calls the “blackout.” This darkness is a state of spiritual separation, a dream where illusions of fear, doubt, and unworthiness veil our Divine essence. It’s woven from collective beliefs—societal whispers of lack or limitation—that form a heavy mist, dimming our inner light. The blackout reveals what is broken, from personal struggles to global upheavals, such as disruptive weather and cultural divides, urging us to heal ourselves and the world.
Being “Lit” is a sacred journey from this darkness to Truth. Imagine a cosmic tapestry woven with threads of infinite light yet obscured by a fog of collective fears. But a spark stirs within, a Divine ember untouched by these shadows. As we feed this Divine spark, it becomes a blazing flame, dissolving illusions like dew in the morning sun. Take a step forward out of the shadows and fog, radiant and free, and co-create with the Universal Spirit to weave golden threads of love out in the world.
This awakening is about embracing your unique spiritual path, not conforming to rigid doctrines. Be your authentic self. Change your thinking, change your life.
To live “Lit” is to embody faith when life feels like it’s falling apart, trusting that it’s actually falling together. It’s rejecting the trance of fear, outrage, and consumerism that binds us to darkness. I saw a sticker at my local juice bar this week that said, “Stay close to people who feel like sunshine.”
Someone who feels like sunshine emits warmth, positivity, and a bright, cheerful energy. This type of person brings joy, makes you feel seen, and inspires you just by being around them. They possess an inner light, a calm energy, and a sense of peace that they naturally radiate. They are often described as friendly, outgoing, and optimistic, with a natural ability to lift others’ spirits. They are lit!
This week, ask yourself: How can I bring more love into the world? Where can I be of service? Who can I share my light with? You are a radiant spark of the Divine, called to shine brightly. Step out of the darkness of illusion, embrace your sacred power, and illuminate the world. I invite you to speak these words aloud: “I’m Lit! I’m radiant! I glow with God!” Let’s shine together and heal the world, one awakened soul at a time.
To change the world, we must start by changing ourselves.
And so it is.
