That's how we know what elements are what they are. We do a spectral analysis. We can know what colors of light they're emitting, and we know, oh, that's carbon or that's helium or that's hydrogen. That's how we do it. All that's happening when we turn on the lights in the room is we're amplifying the magnitude of the light reflection of all of those aspects in the room. Mm-hmm.

It's not that the absence of light is the darkness. It's literally that darkness is light's absorption, and it's the reflected aspect of it. So when we think about the color scale, I'm not wearing blue right now. I'm wearing clothes that are reflecting blue, but they're absorbing more of probably a reddish color. That's their absorption. It's just as much red as it is blue.

I'm just choosing not to perceive the other side of its color. And the same is true with the color black and darkness and light. There's nothing to be afraid of in the darkness. It's all about us learning to accept darkness. and change and rewrite the story. And that's why rewriting the story of the Ramayana was very important for me. To change that the story was not that Rama had to kill Ravana,

but rather become friends with Ravana. It was not that Sita was to die an ignominious death by proving her worthiness by sacrificing herself and subsuming herself into the earth grave that she ended up doing, but rather stepping into her throne, recognizing she was a queen right from the beginning. There was nothing that she had to do. It was her birthright. And that's true for all of us.

Just like the impossible task of Psyche, right? Where she had to look in Pandora's box and get the golden fleece and all the other stuff, right?

All these impossible tasks of the 12 labors of Hercules, this is all metaphor for what we're living out. We were good enough from the very beginning. We needed our ego to take us all the way up through the chakras. And as we cycle, not just in this lifetime, but cycle through the precession of equinox in our hundreds or thousands of lifetimes,

we have to realize that at a certain point, we have to enter the door to know one. And that's above the throat chakra. So now we're going into the throat chakra. The throat chakra now has been globally activated. That means we have new DNA. That means we have new knowledge of the universe. Everything coming in, the structure, all this stuff, it's coming in so rapidly.
