Now, an immensely bright light actually brings me little comfort; I've always felt much more at home in the dark, yielding night than the strident, glaring day, and the idea of finding myself in a radiant light-filled realm with no shadows definitely brings me some anxiety. That may sound strange to a lot of people, but it's true for me.
I've felt that many of our fears arise from being within a physical body. Perhaps when released from our physical constraints, the fears that germinate thereby (fears of falling, of bearing pain that the body cannot withstand, etc, etc) vanish away like a bad dream.
Please feel free to share and elaborate on anything as you please.
Thanks,
Scott
Sorry to be so long to get back to you on this. I have been watching YOUR thread! You are just like me. I CAN'T handle bright light - it really hurts my eyes. I just gifted myself with an incredibly dark wrap-around pair of sunglasses that fit over my regular ones. They really help but in the Beforetime, since I'm on disability, I had my schedule when I would go to sleep at 2PM and wake up around 10PM. Then I was able to enjoy the QUIET and the comfort of the darkness. I did most of my walks around the Lakeshore during those times. Dawn is intensely great but there comes a point where it becomes genuinely painfull because the light is so bright.
When I
died, I felt I had some kind of body, but it was more suited to the circumstances of the 'transition environment' that I found myself in. The Creator, with whom I spoke, "appeared" in Many different bodies but with the same ESSENCE. As I stated somewhere else, I did 'hear?' other 'essences' passing by me and were thanking me for the gift of the 'perfect prayer.'
So, I definitely agree with you. To use your own words: "the fears that germinate thereby (fears of falling, of bearing pain that the body cannot withstand, etc, etc) vanish away like a bad dream."
BTW, the Reason I can't handle bright light is because of my medications. I am on Dexedrine and something new called Provigil and they Definitely dilate the pupils.
Thanks, Scott for your invaluable input!
