"Darkness, Destroyer of Dreams, you are so deep and powerful that none of us have escaped your chilling touch.
What good is a Destroyer?
You show us what matters most, what we hold dear, and what we are willing to fight for, in defense of the Light.
What good is Darkness?
In duality, you have served well to demonstrate the Power of the Light, by your contrast, offering humanity a Free Will Choice. You have served to reflect to each of us, a facet of our own selves, that we'd rather not acknowledge, but which must be seen in order to be healed.
It is a daunting task. But it will not kill you. You shall not Cease to Exist. You are intertwined with the Light, as cozy and balanced as Yin is to Yang. One cannot be without the other.
Beyond Duality is Multidimensional Consciousness. Your role may morph and change, perhaps even shrink, to reflect only a facet of what Once were Warriors. But you will live on, transformed, healed, reborn as something new, shiny, resonant. It won't be a surface glean; it will be transmutation on a cellular level. DNA evolution. Your Akash will still hold all the depth of the sorrow of mankind. Even as the Light within you grows.
You never were a stupid child, you were just lost, so consumed by yourself that you couldn't see the forest for the trees, couldn't see past your own self, not even in the Light of day.
You are not now a stupid child. You are wise with experience, as hard as that may be to fathom, as alienated as you now may feel.
You will never be a stupid child. You will be respected, if not cherished, for daring to step into a role, larger than life itself, knowing so many would shun you in the process. Daring to step in, immerse in the process, and step out onto a New Shore.
That takes Strength, Courage, and results in Wisdom.
You are not undeserving. As the tiny spark within you grows, the despair, guilt and heavy feelings will fade away, replaced by a growing Light. Others will be drawn to you. Just be with yourself in the Now, and know that All Is Well.
What good are you?
You are an aspect of All That Was, Is and Ever Will Be, and your nature is intrinsic to that and to all of our collective experience. Your journey is Epic, in depth and breadth, from start to finish, yet there is no beginning and there is no end, there is only the Constant Companion called Change."
