I like to share below quote from Drunvalo – His books are a pleasure to read and food for thoughts.
Day of the Dead brings us all the way back to the bottom line. It is the place where life spirals into the dregs of decay, a vortex of disintegration where everything is reduced to nothing. In that space, the darkness reigns, looming large enough to trick us into thinking that it has the power to consume us. On a thousand different levels that’s how things look – until we remember this one simple truth;
the only way that we can really begin to see, is in total darkness.
Once we move past the veil that colors our surface impressions, the optic nerves touch down in a deeper kind of light.
