title: "Be a Light onto Darkness - Spiritual Sanctuary"
description: "\"Therefore, be a light onto the darkness and curse it not.  And forget not who you are in the moment of your encirclement by that which you are not.  But do you praise to the creation even as you seek to change it.  And know that what you do in the time of your greatest trial can be your greatest triumph.  For the experience you create is a statement of who you are and who you choose to be."

For the experience you create is a statement of who you are and who you choose to be.…...........There is only one reason to do anything. \[You do it\] as a statement to the universe of who you are. Used in this way life becomes self-creative. You use life to create yourself as who you are and who you have always wanted to be. There is also only one reason to undo anything. Because it is no longer a statement of who you want to be. It does not reflect you. It does not represent you.” …...[Conversations With God : An Uncommon Dialogue (Book 1)](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0399142789/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=onlimediselfh-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0399142789 "Conversations with God")![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=onlimediselfh-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0399142789)
