P��� 22 By Coach Louise Rouse THOUGHTBUSTER.COM Finding the Light “There was once a time when all hu- man beings were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found. “Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the gods to help him decide. ‘Let’s bury it deep in the earth,’ said the gods. But Brahma answered, ‘No, that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and fi nd it.’ Then the gods said, ‘Let’s sink it in the deep- est ocean.’ But Brahma said, ‘No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will fi nd it.’ Then the gods said, ‘Let’s take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.’ But once again Brahma replied, ‘No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity.’ “Then the gods gave up and said, ‘We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach.’ “Brahma thought for a long time and then said, ‘Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the cen- ter of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there.’ “All the gods agreed that this was ���.D�����M��������.��� the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring--searching for something already within themselves.” - Author unknown I just love this story. The message is so true. The best place to hide some- thing is in plain sight. We rarely ever think to look there. We search for an- swers outside of ourselves, we look for solutions from somewhere else, we seek abundance from an outside source, and we long for happiness from another. We look, we pray, we pay, yet all along wisdom, joy, and love, the divine treasures …were within. Look inside, and see how wonderful you are. Once you believe this truth, everything gets better.
