By Charles Vaden

Let there be light. The universe is filled with light – my reflection is a starting point.

Be where you’re at; I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know.

In the light, man was made in the image of God. Made from the earth graced with the breath of life, was man made.  So be here now – you’re already at home with everything you need.

I want to share something.

Personally, I see the light, the earth and it’s reflections. I partake of the breath of life in which I live and move and have my being. I get that. It makes logical sense if you believe in an intelligent creative force that exists in one aspect as light with a short visible spectrum and an infinite array of invisible spectra that can be accessed by the inquiring mind. Most of what consumes mankind is invisible – politics, economics, trading value, religion. The thing sought can be made material, but the drive is invisible. Getting and giving, does it reflect worship in truth and spirit of the creative power of light, or the kingdom as a social structure on earth?

Seek and ye shall find.

I am made in the image of God. I am also made in the imagine of God. I am also made in the imagination of God.

Imagine that!

To walk back down the path from whence I came leads me to self, creation and to creator. God, in whose image I am made, from dust, gives life and light.

What I know about the creator is he is the way, which is to say there is a brilliantly natural way to behave. He is the truth that sets me free from the bondage of false ideas. He is the life of all things in the earth that swim, walk, fly, crawl and creep upon the face of the earth.

I know. I recently returned from Yellowstone National Park and witnessed it personally.

In that, I am gifted with the present of stewardship.

I see with my eyes that he is the light of the world both visible and invisible, known and unknown.

What do I know about being the light of the world? I know the light was a gift bestowed by the one who said, “I am the Light of the world.”

I know the truth that sets me free. I know this intellectually, spiritually and experientially.

I know because I visually can see it. God revealed naturally, fully in the bright light of midday, the light of the world. God is light. There is no hidden secret to this fact.

What do you see?

To walk outside into biological nature, it is my nature to see confirmation of God experiencing creation. I know my physical body is limited by time and yet my nature is timeless. in this I am free, due to the truth of God the creator.

From my personal, unique perspective I represent a neural receptor who feels the impact of my perceptions. Truly this reflects the health of my personal relationship with God on all levels of experience.

For my life, I am blessed with the light and reflection of God.

For the breath of life which covers the face of the earth I am responsible.

For earth of which I and all life are made, you are sacred ground. I am responsible.

To all living things created by God, I am filled with thanksgiving. For these I am responsible.

It is my prayer that knowing of myself I can do nothing, I stand in complete peace, thankfully accepting it is the Father within, near as my breath, as close as my heart beat.  It is he that does the work.

As for me, my responsibility is light.

With this truth I am free to declare the human race is at hand.

You are the light of the world, SHINE! I can see that.

Afterward he earned a degree in sociology and minor in psychology and while in school formed the first "Futurist" club, hosted a radio show on KUNV and supported a colleague in the development of a "Solar Powered Lighter-than Airship. "After graduation he spent 15 years in the field of counseling working in adolescent psychiatric, adult drug and alcohol and behavior problem youth at the now internationally renowned Turn-About Ranch in Southern Utah as recommended by Dr. Phil. Vaden is currently developing the interactive matrix of "Star System 5" a tool using Structural Sociology applied to the Kingdom of God on earth so as to develop a working social construct to bring about the social psychology necessary for implementation of the Kingdom.
