The heart has a light of its own, the light of the secrets God placed there. When the light of the heavens flows upon the light of the heart it is a light upon a light
-Yazid al-Bastami
"To hold aloft the light of Truth amidst the darkness of human ignorance". Light Bearers have existed throughout time as a collective sister-brotherhood to maintain light and goodness in the world. The Light Bearers Initiative is a self-initiatory concentration that includes specific prayers and meditations, which help a person hold light in themselves and bring that light into the world.
With this concentration, one becomes part of the universal sisterhood-brotherhood of light where we find our connection to all the illuminated souls and awaken ourselves as beings of light. As light Bearers, we strengthen our own unique expression of light and our ability to hold light in the world, supporting all other light bearers in this work.
