In this chapter Michael shares an allegory of us locking ourselves in a dark house, in the middle of a bright open field, searching for and trying to create some light. In other words, all we have to do is let go of our self created walls and the light naturally is shining.
Michael writes, "If you see a wall and it is protecting you from unending darkness, you will not want to go there. But if you see a wall that is blocking the light, you will want to go there in order to remove the wall." Pondering what is on the other side of my walls need not be viewed as scary. In fact, I want to be viewing it as fun and exciting; a place I want to go.
If I really get this chapter's allegory, that I am in a dark house out in the middle of a bright open field and I am wanting more light in my life, opening the door and walking through it is an obvious, easy, welcomed choice.
LOP is knowing that living a light-filled life may not be normal, but it is natural.
