Darkness Quotes - Page 3

If it is only one thing in life that you have or allowed to discover, then it must be your significance.

Discover what you need to do to make your life have meaning.

A life that is actually lived is one that is with significance.

When you have discovered your significance, your life will now begin to move towards making a difference.

Your purpose is more than just being happy, but it’s about making others to be blessed and happy.

For your life to have meaning is to discover what you are meant to fulfill.

Look up and hook up to a life of significance and don’t look down on yourself.

Quoting from Thomas MertonDialogues With SilenceThe true contemplative is not one who prepares his mind for a particular message that he wants or expects to hear, but is one who remains empty because he knows that he can never expect to anticipate the words that will transform his darkness into light. He does not even anticipate a special kind of transformation. He does not demand light instead of darkness. He waits on the Word of God in silence, and, when he is answered it is not so much by a word that bursts into his silence. It is by his silence itself, suddenly, inexplicably revealing itself to him as a word of great power, full of the voice of God. (17)

God's creatures who cried themselves to sleep stirred to cry again.

Don't call anyone a devil, because within you, you can experience hell and the devil, and the devil is nothing, but you!

Michael Bassey Johnson

We awaken by asking the right questions. We awaken when we see knowledge being spread that goes against our own personal experiences. We awaken when we see popular opinion being wrong but accepted as being right, and what is right being pushed as being wrong. We awaken by seeking answers in corners that are not popular. And we awaken by turning on the light inside when everything outside feels dark.

BLACK AND WHITEI was born intoA religion of Light,But with so many otherReligions andPhilosophies,How do I know whichONEIs right?Is it notMy birthrightTo seek out the light?To find TruthAfter surveying all the proof,Am I supposedTo loveOr fight?And why do all those whoTry to guide me,Always start by dividingAnd multiplying me – From what they considerWrong or right?I thought,There were no wallsFor whoever beams truth and light.And how can one speak on Light's behalf,lf all they doIs act black,But talk WHITE?

I wonder if that's how darkness wins, by convincing us to trap it inside ourselves, instead of emptying it out.I don't want it to win.
