CHAPTER 5
THE LIGHT WITHIN
By Chris Hamilton

The Light Within
The light within the human soul
How great it is to see such form -
The colours that are seen of us
© C. Hamilton 2000
Is what is our true being
We see ourselves so physical
But we miss our spiritual seeing.
The beauty of the soul
We cannot live without it
Only with it we are whole.
Show beauty inconceivable.
We cannot visualise the light
That shines within our vehicle.
I have heard that in the new age we won’t need light any more because we will radiate with our own Inner Light. I do not find this hard to believe in view of the fact that we are light bodies within a physical casing.
Have you ever noticed someone who is radiantly happy? They seem to glow do they not? Well, we may not be aware of what we are seeing, but often we are seeing the glow of their auric light without even being aware of it. We sense light around people even though we do not really understand at the time what we are seeing. This is why we tend to withdraw from people who are sad, angry, or depressed.
There are some mediums who see auras around people, even from the time they are very young. One medium describes how, as a boy, he saw lights around people. He had an aunt who he always saw pink colours around and she was his favourite aunt. Pink is the colour of love.
Once he saw black around a man walking into a shop. The following day he saw a picture of this same man in the newspaper. He was wanted for murder!
Red has been associated with anger, but bright red shows sexuality and life force. Blue is a spiritual colour as is violet. Yellow is intellectual. Those that have green around them are often healers. Orange indicates self-esteem and ambition. Brown can indicate self-involvement and greed, but it can also signify illness, as can grey. Grey is generally the colour of depression or sadness, and black is often associated with death. There are many good books available on the colours of auras and what they mean.
Dark colours in the aura can indicate something wrong within the body. Some mediums have seen dark colours around parts of the body that are quite healthy at the time. It has transpired shortly thereafter, however, that an injury or break occurred exactly where the medium had seen the dark shadow!
Incidentally, speaking of colours, did you know that the human eye can see more shades of green than any other animal? When we pass into the new life beyond, I am told we can see colours that we cannot, as yet, even imagine!
Edgar Cayce, the late seer, was able to see colours in people’s auras. He once saw a lift with people in it, descending to the floor below. He was quite amazed to see no light at all around these people. He had always been able to see auras around people from the time he was a young boy. Seconds later the lift collapsed, and these people were dead. It appears that the auras around these people, who were going to die within seconds, had already left them!
Colours Reflect our Inner Feelings
It is quite amazing, but the colours around us do relate to our inner feelings at the time, and can give those who can see these lights, an indication of what is happening within our physical body often even before we are aware of it ourselves!
The lights that surround us while we are meditating, or in a higher state, however, tell us that we are much more than our physical bodies.
Even when we are feeling great emotion, these lights surround us at their zenith. I was told:
You are finding often of late that your emotions are rising to the surface. This is not a thing to be judged. Rather it is a thing to rejoice, for as these emotions are accepted, forgiven and released, they create a vortex in the heaviness which has held your world in darker density for many thousands of years. As each individual accepts and forgives himself, accepting his emotions and his pain, he passes through this density and into the Light of higher vibrations.
These things are happening for a purpose. You may not have acknowledged yet, what your deeper Self already knows. That is, that you chose this particular time, this particular lifestyle, and this particular circumstance, especially for the learning and the valuable experience you would gain from this lesson. You cannot always see things as they are. We see from a perspective that is pure light. We see what you could not possibly imagine. From where we are, you all look like beautiful ever-changing lights, the beauty of which you could not even imagine!
Try to visualise the varied lights that light up upon your Christmas Tree. See how they change as they flash on and off? Well, imagine if you can, that these lights change colours every second to a myriad of different and varied colours. This, dear ones, is how we see you from our side of the veil in Spirit.
You call on us for help, and we come. We honour you so much, and hold you in so much respect for it is YOU who have chosen this experience. It is YOU who have chosen to come to this earthly plane, this heavy density, for the chosen experience of integrating your emotions from many past lifetimes, into this current lifetime, in order to lift all the density around this planet into the Light. This was your choice freely given and we are here to assist you at any time you request our assistance. We love you and honour you. You have chosen the harder path, and because of it, your glory will be all the greater. You have given much to come to this density, and you will be honoured so much more, for having been here.
Cherish your moments. Cherish your feelings and your emotions, for they are just a passing phase as you walk through them into the new dimensions. Allow each feeling and emotion to exist to co-exist with the lighter feelings you also feel. This is why you have chosen a duality existence.
Love each and every though, emotion and feeling you have. By accepting and allowing these emotions within yourself, you are honouring and accepting them in others. This, my children, is how you are creating Heaven on Earth. I leave you with great Love and Blessings. I AM Astara.
We are being told to accept and cherish our emotions, as they are part of our emotional body, which resides within us. We cannot see the colours within ourselves, but those in spirit can see these colours, and they radiate out from us like a myriad of rainbows.
I have read in Lee Carroll’s books of Kryon saying we ‘earn’ coloured lights by coming to this planet in physical form. In other words, we actually earn our colours by a physical incarnation upon earth. So when we arrive back into Spirit, all who greet us see these colours around us and know that we have been here.
Chakras
We have internal spinning colours in our bodies that are called chakras. This name originated in the Eastern countries. It is an energy system within our bodies that vibrates to different colours. We have seven major chakra centres. Each chakra colour is associated with issues we are facing.
Our base chakra is located at the root of the spine, and is red. This is where we energetically experience flight or fight. The next energy centre is orange and deals with creativity and sexuality. The third chakra is yellow and this is where many mediums reside when they experience clairvoyance. It is the seat of personal power. The fourth chakra is the heart chakra and is green. This is where we experience love. The fifth chakra is blue and is in the throat area. This deals with speech and expression. The sixth is deep purple and is located in the forehead, or third eye area. It relates to vision or clairvoyance. The seventh chakra is white or indigo, and is the opening chakra at the top of the head. This is where our spirit enters and leaves our body.
If we look at a rainbow, we can see the identical colours of our chakra systems in the rainbow. We each carry our own rainbow of colours, and these are visible to those in the higher dimensions. This is in fact, how they see us.
The Christ Within
Christmas time is a time when we see bright coloured lights all around us. One year I felt like I had lost the old feelings I used to have, and didn’t understand why I felt different.
This message came to me in the early hours of the morning, near Christmas. It is very relevant to me personally, but many of you may also find it pertains to your own feelings. I felt I was being shown how it is not an ‘outside’ Christ that we should look to at Christmas time, but the inner Christ light within.
Dear Ones,
This is a time of great transition. It is a time of great release. You will find there is much polarity showing in your world at the present time. There is much joy on one hand, and much seeming negativity on the other hand. I say, seeming negativity, because all things come from Source, and all is only as it is perceived. You will find much coming to the surface at this time - much of your feelings of despair, feelings of dissatisfaction, feelings of disappointment. All this is good. It is a lifting of these emotions to the surface so that they can be transmuted and healed. Let them go. Do not try to hold them in. Do not let the ego convince you that things should be a certain way, and that these feelings should be held back. It is time for their release.
The new beginning that is happening in your world is one of such balance, that all feelings are overridden by a knowing of great light. This is the balancing that is to happen in your world of polarity. These feelings of dissatisfaction, disappointment etc. come from expectations that you have held for many years of what things should be at this special time of your planet's celebrations. The reasons for these so-called 'negative' feelings, is that no longer is the old pattern of appearances to be maintained. All of your feelings will surface in the coming months, and all will have to be accounted for. Do not repress these feelings, for they are part of the great healing that will happen, both on a personal level and on a planetary scale. This is all part of the releasing that must happen for the transition to progress, both of yourselves personally and for the planet.
Have you noticed that things seem different this Christmas? You will find that the old traditions no longer have any meaning for you. They are falling by the wayside, as it were. This has been happening slowly for the past few years. The world is changing...and the old belief patterns can no longer be maintained.
Look within to your heart, to your inner depths, and there you will find the peace of the Christ within your own heart. This is where the true Christmas message resides. Only when there is peace within the very depths of your inner soul, will you realise that the Peace of this planet depends on your own transition within.
It is the small gifts that jerk your heart. It is the small stories of love from the very depths that make your heart rejoice. This is what the meaning of giving to the Christ within is all about. You give to yourself, your inner Christ flame, when you rejoice inwardly. All that has come to the surface is there for transmutation. Once it has been released - not held by the ego - but released, it makes room for the wonderful transition that is to follow.
This Christmas time is for always - not just now. It is a gift given by your own Higher Selves to awaken you and bring you towards the Light that is waiting, here in the now, for you to reach out and gladly accept as your own gift.
Let your feelings pass through you till you reach that gift deep within your heart.
This is the Christmas message for you all... This is for always.
Blessings my children.
Adieu. I AM Astara.
I believe we have light that radiates out from our bodies each moment. This light is affected by our thoughts, by our emotions, by our moods, and by our actions.
This irradiating light not only affects ourselves, the others around us, and every part of the planet we touch, but it also assists in lightening the heavy atmosphere of negative energy that is surrounding this planet.
It is for mankind, in his partnership with earth, to prevent war. The best way for him to do this, is not to fight war with war. War should be fought with love. The energy of love is far stronger than mankind could realise. By sending out waves of pink light to surround the troubled areas, we are creating a vortex of light energy that cannot be penetrated by anything of a lower vibration. This is one of the strongest, surest and most positive ways, to enlighten our planet and prevent these energies which are threatening us, from causing any harm upon the planet.
The energy of earth has shifted. We can see this in the energy fields around ourselves and around plants, trees, and all physical manifested life. James Redfield, in his book The Celestine Prophecy, describes seeing the energy and colours around the rocks, trees etc.
One of the negative energies that is causing so much harm around the planet at the present time, is that of non-forgiveness. In order to release this negative energy, we must first learn to forgive, starting with ourselves.
