"Three things which are always increasing: the light of fire, the intelligence of truth, the life of existence - these are victorious over all things and are the end of darkness."
____ Welsh triad (trans. CM)
From this day on, the sun is climbing toward its zenith at midsummer in the northern hemisphere: a good day on which to consider the optimistic triad printed above, and the many things that are growing and increasing in our own lives and in the unfolding history of the world.
The radiant spark of light is at the core of every creative being: it leaps from place to place, from heart to heart, changing and forever growing. Nothing can stop this spark from spreading through the world like fame through a piece of charcoal. It is becoming harder and harder to pull the wool over people's eyes, to deceive others for more than a short period of time. This is predominately because of better education and the discernment that derives from it.
The many associations around the world that uphold human rights are in the business of protecting truth and justice. Countries and regimes that give truth nothing more than lip service are increasingly having to fight off criticism from without and dissent from within, as consciousness and truth increase.
Our whole consciousness of what life is, of how we live it and how we ethically deal with it, is the next challenge that will increase the boundaries of our understanding.
"Meditate upon three wonderful things that have increased within your own lifetime. How have these increases changed the world?"
[From The Celtic Spirit by Caitlin Matthews]
