Message from the 137th & 138th Light Reading
Black dot or white area?
JJK: In preparation for the upcoming two light readings, on May 31 and June 1, 2025, I was looking for a large white sheet of paper today. From what I remember, it's about this story I read online:
A professor drew a black dot on a blank white page of his students' notebooks. "Please write down what you can see!" the teacher instructed his class.
The students began to work on it.
At the end, the professor collected all the answers and found that each student had described the black dot—its position, size, structure, and so on.
The professor smiled and said:
"Everyone has described the black dot, but no essay has said anything about the much larger white part of the paper. Take this as a metaphor for life, because life is a blank sheet of paper, and it is up to us what we make of it. Instead of always focusing on the dark spots, we should enjoy life, experience it as a gift that we should bless with love and mindfulness.
There's always a good reason to say YES to life and not focus on the dark, the bad, the things that cause fear. Seeing the bright side means perceiving nature, appreciating friends and family, enjoying our work, and learning to see the wonders that come our way every day. Too often, we only see what's missing: health problems, lack of money, social upheaval, disappointments in relationships, unfulfilled expectations, etc.
What we see is our life—either with a clear mind, or we tend to paint a bleak picture, and our minds become clouded. Look at the white paper; only then will the black dot shrink. Look at what nourishes you; only then will the fulfilling moments multiply, and happiness be born.
The black dot is there, but it's up to you how big you make it by directing your attention toward it or away from it," the professor concluded.
(End of story)
Deep in this image, I drove today to the small town near our market town to buy the right drawing paper for the black dot at the Libro market. When I couldn't find it right away, the saleswoman expertly came to my aid.
Even though she was alone in the store and there were other customers waiting to be served besides me, the salesperson was exceptionally courteous, friendly, and patient. I was completely surprised to meet such a positive, empathetic person here.
After I found what I was looking for, I thanked her with the words: "You are so friendly, cheerful, and accommodating. Thank you, because that's very rare!" The woman replied: "Because I enjoy doing this, and there are reasons for that!"
I looked at her questioningly as she replied, "In 2022, my 17-year-old son died suddenly, and this is my therapy: interacting and talking positively with clients."
On the return journey, I realized that this situation perfectly reflects the theme of the black dot and the white sheet of paper. Despite this incredible loss, this woman has found her way back to life and is trying to see the light and the beauty. She could have sunk into a "black hole" and perished, but she chose otherwise.
The black dot is there, but life—and life continues—is lived on the white page, where the joy of life exists, where the meaning of life is not lost. An obvious reflection of this theme and a wonderful encounter in the stationery store...
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL: Everything that is, is through man. Nothing exists in isolation; everything is subject to your observation, your judgment, your attention, and your love.
Life can be lived in both directions: darkly or lightly "aspected." Wherever you direct your attention becomes reality and is what you call your life.
JJK: This example seems drastic to me, when a person suffers such a stroke of fate and then faces and dedicates themselves to continuing their life in this way. A great soul can do that. The question that now arises for me is:
Do we humans shape reality solely through our attention or are there other influences that also play a role?
How do we shape our reality?
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL: A person's negative fears or positive expectations, if they constitute more than 50% of their daily consciousness, become reality. It's not what you think, feel, or say once, twice, or three times that becomes reality; rather, the thoughts and emotions you constantly carry within you ultimately have an impact. In this way, each person creates their own reality and helps shape the reality of the collective consciousness of humanity.
JJK: Are there exceptions? By that, can negative events also befall people whose fundamental orientation is positive?
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL: Karmic backgrounds, souls who are at the beginning of the dark "aspected game" on Earth, people who cannot listen to their inner voice and therefore find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, and people who can only awaken and open their hearts through certain events. The latter is defined by prenatal agreements.
Nothing happens without a reason. Everything is underpinned by a cosmic overarching guidance, and everything emerges from a greater plan.
JJK: Does that mean that the key lies in how a person reacts to a situation — whether they overcome the test or whether they are crushed by it? Many people face incredible blows of fate?
What does man need?
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL: It depends on which lesson a person has chosen for his life, and it depends on the extent to which a person is ready to step out of the negative programming.
JJK: I've rarely met such a positive person with a fresh wound as this woman in the paper shop. Her vibration was also so enlightened, loving, and a quiet joy emanated from her.
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL: Mastery on Earth is to recognize the gifts of life, even if they are not recognizable as gifts at first glance.
What does GOD have in mind for you, and what kind of life have you planned for yourself? There's a profound meaning in a life that ends suddenly and, from one day to the next, the lives of those affected on earth change fatefully. Embraced in the grace of GOD, sustained by HIS LIGHT, cared for by ANGELS FROM BEING, no one is ever alone with their worries and fears.
Observance and disregard
JJK: Seeing the black dot, but allowing it to shrink by withdrawing attention—that means seeing the problems in the world, but not amplifying them with one's own fears. That means perceiving the negative without feeding it with one's own negativity. That means facing the good, the true, and the beautiful, and withdrawing the energy from evil by ignoring it?
ARCHANGEL MICHAEL: To pay attention to the negative – without amplifying it or giving it more space!
Ignoring is only possible if you are not affected by it. As soon as you are caught up in certain circumstances, life demands a response and your heart demands the necessary impulses to continue living and growing. Notice what is, and live what you are!
Lightful and lightless, being encompasses everything – the fundamental orientation of a being determines the quality of its journey through time and space and defines its specific experiences. It happens that some people lose their inner glow as they are gripped by fear, while others rise like a phoenix from the ashes in the midst of the storm of time. The great upheaval has arrived, and your memory is returning! You are part of the whole. Without you, the whole cannot exist. With what presence do you contribute to the whole? Therein lies the true meaning of your life.
