LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL


Darkness prevails as the light diminishes. The knowledge that dawn will break open should be our glowing hope we hold on to and carry forward with us when we evolve into darkness. When life lets you fall from grace, and everything shatters around you, it is then you the individual must get back up on your feet through inner strength, holding on to the candles of hope. For that’s your glowing light at the end of the tunnel.

A tunnel we walk through at the end of life, we enter through dreams, re-enter through reincarnation, and like myself, when we have near-death experiences.

I entered this tunnel when I had a near-death experience. It’s scary and you feel lost. You try to figure out where you are, and where your family members or familiar faces are. Yes, I remembered I was in a surgery and thought I must have passed away. I remembered my family and friends. I remembered all the things life had gifted me and took away from me. I remembered my Lord and knew in life I worshipped Him and in death I would hold on to Him.

He was there as he smiled and told me, “You could come with Me or have another chance in life. When it’s your time, I will be here.”

I woke up and knew I had much more to give in this life.

As my part of the world is so divided, right now we need to find ourselves before we go ahead and start criticizing all the others or what we did wrong or right.

We all need to take some breathing space.

Remember the will of the people, blessed by the will of the Omnipotent, takes over upon Earth as the future of our destiny. So, instead of blaming one another or dividing even more, we should accept the fact and learn from our own actions.

Some people have said the division across not just our country but the world is because we are at the End of Time. Yet this is defined in different faiths as the dark times, as Kali Yuga in Hinduism. I believe End of Time is a term that is different from the dark ages as we face end of times at the end of our life. Dark ages have come over Earth at various times as history will teach aside from religious texts. As long as we have our spirituality, our thinking ability, and we can differentiate wrong from right, we are and shall all be all right.

What are dark ages? Are we in the dark ages?

Through my own research, I have learned in Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religious beliefs that some believe we the humans are influenced by demons as we display demonic behaviors. This could be as simple as creating division to only become influencers or more popular. These demonic individuals in Hinduism are called bad Asuras. In some other parts of the world, they are called Ahuras. There could also be good Asuras who can be helpful. Good Asuras are mentioned in the early Vedic literature and are known as Adityas.

It is believed good Asuras, also called Adityas, are influenced by Varuna one of the oldest Vedic gods. So, let’s differentiate and call the bad Asuras an Asura and good ones an Aditya.

Asuras always act upon the individual’s desires as they are power hungry and find power through division and chaos. When we the humans are divided, they feel powerful and influence us to be even more divided. I am assuming it’s like our own good and bad sides, that we are knowledgeable of yet ignore.

So, how do we take over ourselves and not let any demonic behaviors take over through anger, hate, revenge, and fear?

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says a lot about karma. There is good karma when selfless actions are performed by individuals without thinking about the consequences or the rewards that will come afterward. Through good karma, we can overtake all Asuras as we call upon Adityas.

Let the mind be powerful and all evil or corrupt thoughts of revenge and hate be gone. It won’t be the dark ages as long as we still have our own thinking ability and can differentiate good from bad.

I am assuming the Heavens above too have good and bad. I guess that’s why in the Bible it is said God created humans in His image.

I don’t believe in any demon or demonic behaviors to be more powerful than love and forgiveness.

I always believe if one person acts wildly, then let the other person act calmly and let time and karma take over. Why fight with a person who is blindsided with revenge and hate?

Today, if you are waking up thinking you have lost and the other person is victorious, then know in all wars or games, there is only one winner. If you entered a competition knowing one person will lose, then why is it you must think the winner should always be you? There is a fifty-fifty chance the winner will be the other one you are fighting.

Accepting the winner as the victorious and letting go of the feeling of loss is the only way forward.

That’s why in a game, the participants at the end hug and shake hands, congratulating the victorious.

I am hoping we can all take some breathing space and let go of our own hate and revenge and wipe off our own tears and be happy for the winners. They deserve their victory and they should celebrate as we too should go and celebrate with them.

At this time as we are so divided, I know the Asuras will take over. They will inspire us through sweet words of division. The lights will be diminished as reasons find no answers when we are hurt. That’s called the dark times. Division created through our painful and hurtful hearts will attract Asuras to ourselves. Without understanding why we are acting the way we are, we will be influenced through our mood changes and behaviors.

I guess as we have learned fallen angels have influenced humans through temptation and created divisions amongst us the humans. Yet good angels are always there trying to guide us through all obstacles of life. We can all be healed from these feelings through the gift of letting go and empowering ourselves with knowledge and trying to do good and be good.

There will always be another friendly game and another friendly fight another day.

Yet throughout this time until we are ready to begin again, maybe we can learn from our mistakes and let go of our anger and frustration.

Meditation is a great way you can start your rejuvenating journey. It’s a house you can enter without any religious belief. You can open a page and recite a prayer or sing a sweet song that touches your inner soul and let go of the hate and division.

I have written three books of Spiritual Songs where I call upon my Creator without any religious belief or reference. These songs are for all who need a prayer for that one lonely and lost night. When you can’t even hold on to the candle to light your way through the dark night, journey through the lonely night with these powerful songs on your lips. They will be your meditation sessions.

Are we at the End of Time?

I believe as long as we have devotion and believe in the divine and the good of humans or display good, we can keep washing away the bad, the evil, and the dark times. I do, however, believe it will eventually come as more and more people stop believing in good.

If you believe you are standing at the End of Time or the dark times, than just call upon Adityas, the good Asuras, who are influenced by Varuna one of the oldest Vedic Gods. Yet what is ahead will be ahead.

Why fear the dark times?

If and when we all land upon the dark times, we will all be ready with a candle in our hands. Just keep believing in the good of the people and start by wiping away your own sins and becoming the first example of a good sin-free soul. We can only then prevent the dark ages from drowning us.

Dark ages, End of Time, demons, Asuras, and fallen angels are all there around us, yet we have the most powerful gift within us. It’s called hope!

As I had experienced near death, I remember not being afraid at all for I knew my Lord was there. I ran toward Him with so much love for Him in my heart. I forgot all the wrong or right I may have done on Earth. All I remembered is my love for Him and His love for me which kept me going through life and even beyond.

That was my healing process. I feared neither the End of Time, nor life, nor death, or if it is actually the dark times. I knew I had light in my heart that would spread from my inner soul, and would glow and give hope to all who need the light at the end of the tunnel.

Healing is a part of feeling the pain and suffering, then waking up rejuvenated with understanding. The pain never fades, nor does the loss, yet it’s understanding that releases the pain and heals our minds, bodies, and souls.

“NEVER FEAR, FOR I AM HERE” is a poem I had written in my fictional novel, The Bride, The Groom, And The Ghost, for a character who did not believe in any religion or religious group as he entered the tunnel of life at the end of his life and searched for the light at the end of the tunnel.

Blessings,
