(The Brightness)
SUMMARY
#looking_at_oneself
The revelation emerges in its initial stage like a faint, distant light from a star, flickering through the vast expanse of your ignorance. It pierces the darkness, a subtle yet profound illumination, gradually guiding your awareness towards a deeper understanding.
When the flickering revelation is received, you recite it, allowing its light to take shape within your mind. Yet, in this process, you encounter moments of uncertainty, where certain pieces of information seem to emerge only faintly, as if veiled in a subtle haze. These vague impressions challenge your understanding, urging you to seek clarity as you continue to engage with the revelation.
As you struggle and expand your consciousness, the barriers that once blocked the light begin to dissolve, gradually lifting the darkness of ignorance. With each effort, the obscurities that cloud your perception are cleared away, allowing the light of revelation to shine more brightly. In this newfound illumination, clarity emerges, and the true meaning of the revelation becomes increasingly evident, guiding you toward deeper understanding and insight.
In this journey, the insight offered by the revelation is not merely intellectual or theoretical; it is a lived experience that transforms your inner landscape. As you engage with the sacred text, it awakens your higher consciousness, helping you transcend the limitations of the lower self. It shapes your soul by urging you to acknowledge and be mindful of your shortcomings. Indeed, your victory lies in deciphering the signs you receive, in tandem with the ongoing purification of your soul. The more you internalize and reflect upon this wisdom, the more aligned you become with your true self.
Disappointment arises when you fail to approach matters with the seriousness they deserve, much like the Thamud, who disregarded the divine signs and embraced falsehood. They are those who accept messages without making the effort to discern their truthfulness, relying instead on preconceived notions or the comfort of familiar beliefs. Their lack of discernment leads them to internalize falsehood, which in turn blinds them to the truth. In their complacency, they deny what is real and miss the opportunity for genuine understanding and spiritual growth. They fail to rise to the occasion of truth, allowing falsehood to take root within.
A time may come when, if no corrective actions are taken, the gravest consequences will unfold, allowing the most wicked to emerge and gain power. These are the ones who, in their defiance, will go so far as to destroy the very messengers who bring forth the truth. Their hearts are hardened, closed off to inspiration, and resistant to any new knowledge that could challenge their entrenched falsehoods. Driven by arrogance and devoid of fear or regard for the consequences, they not only reject the message but actively seek to silence those who bear it. In their refusal to change, they become agents of darkness, obstructing the light of truth and leading others astray.
