The light against the dark

            Have you ever felt the fear of knowing that something from the other world, the world beyond life, knows your name? Maybe there is something that taunts you while you sleep? Perhaps it tugs on the blankets, shakes your bed, touches you etc. There are many such things in this world that may not necessarily be currently part of it. They are the ones that came before. The spirit entities may be good, they may be bad, they may even be both or neutral. One way or another they will let you know that they are still around. Shadow figures just out of the corner of your eye will have you second guessing your sight. There may be things that make noises and you can’t explain the sounds origin.  All of this leading to a dreadful feeling of not leaving the security of your bed, afraid that if you put your feet on the ground, a pair of other worldly hands will reach out and grab your ankles, dragging you off to a dark place of unknown horror. The kind spirits try to exist together with the living, some keep to themselves while others try to help. Be it from the dark entities that also exist, or dangers of regular life, they try to help.  Sadly not all spirits are good. Some are dark, some are mean, and some are not human. The light of hope to standing up against these dark entities is that they gain power from fear, but they grow weak against resolve. Bravery is the key to defending your home, your families, and most of all your own soul.

           
             Arm yourself with knowledge for it is the one true power that can work to keep us all safe. A healthy body is important as it gives you the vigour to stand tall, but it is not the most important thing. No amount of inches on your biceps can prepare you for a battle of the spirit. That kind of war takes place on another plane. This is a plane of impossibility, yet it exists. Our proof though sparse, is still proof none the less that our existence does go far beyond this life. To ensure that we all live a good after life, we must be strong and live well in this one. Honour and protect your loved ones, respect your friends and neighbours, most of all remember that what you put forth in the world is what will be returned to you at some point. Trivial things are not as trivial as you may currently believe. Every moment is fleeting as this life is not so long in the grand scheme of all things. Enjoy every moment, even as hard as it may seem, enjoy even the bad ones. These are all fleeting moments in time.  These simple things will give you a spiritual resolve unparalleled to the dark spirits who wish to corrupt us through depression, oppression, and their eventual attempts at possession.

Live as a good person, for if you do, the armour you will wear in the next life will be impenetrable. You will be 10 fold stronger than you realize and it all begins with a simple act of random kindness. These things are what generate the soul’s ability to grow and blossom. Honour, hope, respect, compassion, and most of all, love. Know these things and no evil force alive or other can break you. There may be battles of a material nature, they may be battles of a spiritual nature, but those simple suggestions can keep you strong for whatever comes your way. Live strong, and be eternal.
