There is a darkness in the world today which is confounded by the conviction of those abiding within it that theirs is the liberation of true understanding. Because they see neither path nor precipice they convince themselves that neither exists and that they may wander wherever they choose with impunity. There is danger enough . But in their ignorance and gross blindness they seek to influence others ; all thus orientated wander aimlessly in the darkness which they choose for their sojourn on earth, or worse, are destroyed in the pitfalls which they encounter. Such is not the loving purpose of their Heavenly Father who created a world of light and life and love, and human beings to live in the lovely world of His creation, each possessing a measure of light within. By means of that light each is called to relate to the world and to the light which lightens everyone who comes into the world. And the light can only be extinguished from within. I am the Light of the World. Whoever looks to Me for light and for understanding I illuminate and lead. And as I illuminate and lead so do I sustain and strengthen with eternal life and bring to fulfilment at the last in the glorious presence of the Father.
