The Return of the Light

We all understand the concept of a return on investment.

For example, you put money in the bank, thus depriving yourself of spending it, and you receive interest.

We are all actually investments.  We are specks of light, spirit, sent forth far from the realm of light where time stands still and where the source of all light awaits our return.

In that highest realm all that ever was is and will be occurs at once.  Yet we are far from the light and experience time and change, challenges and opportunities to grow.

As we grow in light we are returning to our source, because that is the only purpose of the light to increase and multiply, to extend itself in glory.

Jesus explains this in the parable of the three servants.  The master in that tale gave the three servants (three dimensions) silver to invest, in measures according to ability.  The master departed for a long time (left the realm of time) and upon his return the three servants showed their returns.  Those who doubled their silver (light) were given more silver to invest (greater light) and the servant who hid his silver in the ground (darkened his light) was relieved of his silver.  That silver went to the servant who returned the most on the master’s investment.  The servant who wasted his time and did nothing with his silver, was banished.

In the workaday world, you would give increasing responsibility to the employee who is most competent.  Other good but less able workers are also given responsibility according to their ability.    The employee who wastes time loses his job.

You are a gift of light, sent forth to grow and return to your maker in glory.  If you hide your light, for example in bitterness, greed or other dark pursuits, then you clearly are not growing.  The master entrusts more of his spirit to the soul that shines his light and inspires more light!

This is the parable of the three servants in a modern light.
