Bowl of light

Hank Wesselman’s book The Bowl of Light: Ancestral Wisdom from a Hawaiian Shaman was published in April 2011. Here is a small snapshot of it.

“Each of us comes into the world from the great beyond with our bowl of light. This light then resides within us, nourishing and sustaining us as we pass through life until it returns to its source at life’s end.

Whenever we step into the negative polarity, however, whenever we injure others through our deeds, our words or our thoughts, it is as though we put a stone in our bowl and some of our light goes out. Slowly, as our bowl fills with stones, our light dims until it is nearly gone. Hopefully we discover this before it turns dark…

…So that we can turn the bowl over and dump it out!

We start over then, but from that time forward things are different. It is then that we begin to live our lives with greater awareness, and it is then that we begin to walk our path toward the luminous horizon of our destiny.”
