What is our inner light? It is the quiet awareness that permeates the darkness—the observer behind the ego. When we begin to feel lost, overwhelmed, or worn down by the physical world, this inner light can illuminate the places within us that feel heavy or shadowed.
We discover this inner light more easily after we’ve done the work of healing the parts of ourselves that have kept us from living authentically. This process isn’t easy. It asks for deep introspection, honesty, and a willingness to move through past trauma or unhealthy circumstances. As we peel back the layers of who we once thought we were, we uncover the parts of ourselves that have always been there—buried beneath expectations, perceived failures (which were really life lessons), materialism, betrayal, hurt, anger, and resentment.
This inner light is not something that can be neatly defined or labeled. It simply is. It is our essence, our truest connection to where we came from. Only you can decide how to understand it or how to find it. But when you do, you remember that the outside world does not get to decide who you are. -awareness
