Most people think that Light is something of matter. And matters are the considerations that we make about something physical. However, Light cannot be weighed or measured as "things" can be. Inasmuch as everything other than Light is relative to Light, it is necessary to explain the nature of Light differently. Light is not matter, nor is it a physical thing. Light is the cause of everything which is generally defined as matter or as having a physical constituency. To name the nature of Light, the word Spirit is best. Something of Light is in everything. Therefore, everything is a constituent of Spirit, and when understood in this way, the word matter becomes obsolete. So long as we understand that everything is an aspect of Light being expressed, we can consider that many things are physical. Each physical thing then is the manifestation of Spirit's being expressed. The Light of stars, lamps, radiation, and so on has Its equal in the awareness of persons when they know the truth about anything whatsoever. To truly know anything is to be aware of something deep inside us that has brought forth an illumination about reality. In the depths of our lives is Light that provides a significance of understanding to come into our awareness. That illumination is known as enlightenment. To be enlightened is the supreme experience of an ascending consciousness. This is possible for every person. Why? It is because it is within us to express understanding, unconditional love, and a self-givingness which is rooted in the divine energy both lying behind and within all creation. It is expressed through us and as us as we meditate on the idea that a supernova as taught by physical scientists has a corollary within every human spirit. An ascending consciousness does not necessarily only refer to a person in preparation for a glorious afterlife. It is about anyone on earth who is willing in the here and now to become wholly true to the Higher Self of that person's center. Ascension then means here that a person is so deeply inspired with Life that the Truth of Self expresses Intelligence with Unlimited Magnificence. First we will briefly examine the nature of a supernova in what is usually considered physical space. Second, we will examine its echo in a person who is deeply interested to be all that is potentially awaiting one's expressiveness within the Center of Self. This supernova of the Self will only come about as one desires to be fully unfolded according to the idea that Divine Mind has of that person. The supernova of space, according to astronomers, is like a star that is vastly more brilliant than the sun of our solar system. It's luminance becomes so resplendent that it sometimes has been an equal to the illumination of the sunlight on our planet anywhere from 10 to a hundred million times brighter. Such supernovae become increasingly visible to astronomers with an increasing frequency as our ability to sight them grows. This increasing ability with modern telescopes is providing us awarenesses that there are many supernovae prevailing in great distances from us. In 1054, 1572, 1604, and 1885 supernovae were sighted. In the coming years, their appearances will be more common, not because they will happen more frequently than they already have. Rather, modern technology will make us more aware of them. As individuals we are wise to become aware that the spiritual corollary of the physical nature of reality includes that again everything that we think, feel, and do is relative to the sense we have of Light. Light for us individually is deep inside our Spiritual Selves. We connect with this awareness to the extent that we desire to live in concert with the Truth of Light. I am sure some readers will reflect upon the thought that maybe the star of Bethlehem was a nova or a supernova. Others will think differently. In any case, that every person has it within the individual self to evolve into a spiritually enriched consciousness of a Supernova type person is not only likely, but is the truth. The corollary of what is happening in the skies is what is waiting for the awakening within every individual. So far, an occasional avatar has appeared on earth. Such luminaries include Jesus, Buddha, Lao-Tzu, Krishna, Zoroaster and some others. They have not been more common than the few sightings of supernovas in the skies. However, as we grow spiritually, supernova characters will become obvious in growing numbers, that is, not one more, nor anyone returning in a second appearance. Rather every little while, they will be presenting themselves - not as braggarts, instead as selfless glowing testimonies to the truth that God awaits. Such expressiveness is possible in everyone. It is also true that some are here on earth now. They will not be announcing themselves, yet others will be discovering them. As spiritual consciousness grows, any one of us could reach that state of high spiritual expressiveness. In our own country, such a one was Martin Luther King. Thoughts we say as we ascend our spiritual pathway.
