To capture the spirit of the Diamond Light, I’d like to share a true story that happened recently.
Noah and Sara
I was at a seminar in London. At the seminar were two friends whom I have known a long time, Noah and Sara.
Before leaving the seminar, I asked Noah and Sara, who were both travelling back to Nottingham, if they would like to stop at a motorway services for a snack.
They agreed and sometime later, we met at Watford Gap services. Now as it was sometime past ten at night, the only food counter that was open was McDonalds. So we found a small table and began to chat.
After sometime, I said to them both, ‘I have known you both for nearly 40 years. And you have known me for nearly 40 years, and each other too. So I am going to go into my bag and get something out.’
So I drew out of my bag a Magic Light.
This Magic Light represents the value that has been forged from out of the nearly 40 years of knowing you, I said to Sara.
And the Magic Light was placed on the table, where it glowed.
Then I said to Noah, I am going to go into my bag, where I have something for you. So I went into the bag and produced another Magic Light.
This Magic Light represents the value that has been forged out the nearly 40 years of which I have known you.
And the Magic Light was placed on the table where it glowed.
Sara and Noah were then asked if they would like to place Magic Lights on the table.
So that there were then six Magic Lights on the table.
All glowing.
Now, I said, it’s time for the seventh thing. At this point all the six Magic Lights will merge and form a Seventh Light, and this Seventh Light will be a Diamond Light.
It is a light that cannot go out, because it has been forged on real things
- Devotion
- Companionship
- Trust
- Adversity
- Resolve
- Courage
- Loyalty
And this Diamond Light will be the fortification, the thing we can turn to as we journey into the future. It will be the stability and the holding of good things.
And in the centre of the table the Diamond Light radiated.
It was time to leave, as there was much of the journey still to complete. The Diamond Light was not returned into a bag, but held inside each of us.
And with that we left McDonalds, and headed home. Deeply enriched for this special moment in time.
