Darkness into Light

From my experience, our suffering can bring much joy

But we must sit with the pain even when we want to run from it

For us to transform, we must get to know the darkest parts of our mind.

Sit with our demons until they don’t scare us anymore

Show compassion & love to the darkest parts of our soul

Surrender to the reality in front of you

Do not fight or run

Sit still & get to know them

They will always be there

But our mind can be a sanctuary, even with the demons; not a warzone

With aloha,

Johnny

Hello, my name is Johnny. I found Christ 11 years ago through Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. I am interested in Christian Mysticism, Zen Buddhist meditation, and Thomas Keating Centering Prayer. I hope my posts touch your heart and soul as they do for me. May we all rest in God's love moment by moment and be one with Christ in pure love. ❤️🙏🏻
