WE ARE THE BRIDGE BETWEEN DARKNESS AND LIGHT

Most of us have lived in the trance of the unexamined life—believing the self we constructed was real, clinging to the roles, stories, and identities handed to us by the world. Like characters in a dream, we wandered through the maze of experience, rarely stopping to ask: Who am I, really?

We inherited a paradigm of suppression, distraction, and surface appearances. We learned to present a version of ourselves that could survive in the world—while burying what didn’t fit. The pain, the shadow, the questions too deep or too inconvenient to ask.

But something is shifting.

There’s a crumbling now. A tearing at the seams of what we thought was real. Collectively, individually—something ancient is breaking down, and something unknown is breaking through.

This is not the dawning of a golden age—not yet.
It’s the fire before the dawn.

And in this fire, we are being asked to become something new:
Not saviors.
Not seekers.
But bridges.

Bridges between the darkness we’ve denied and the light we long for.
Bridges between ancestral pain and emerging presence.
Bridges between the old world built on fear, and a new possibility grounded in truth.

This isn’t easy work. It requires fierce tenderness. It means facing what we’ve hidden. It means no longer outsourcing our freedom. It means letting the shadow in—not to be swallowed by it, but to see it, include it, and allow it to be transfigured by our awareness.

We are not here to escape the world or float above it.
We are here to inhabit it fully, to walk through the ashes of what was, carrying the seed of what could be.

The unexamined life is coming to an end—not through force, but through willingness.
The willingness to stop running.
To feel what we’ve avoided.
To let the imagined self come undone.

We are not here to transcend the human.
We are here to meet it fully.
To walk as living bridges—between what was, and what is yet to be.
And in doing so, we remember what it means to be whole.

____________________________

In your depths
You are already free
And whole

Your journey is to fall into those depths.

-----------------------

Don’t be scared of your own shadow
A life of fear is no way to live
You are the totality
Light and the shadow it casts
The purpose of being here
Is to be the integrated whole
And to share that wholeness
With those still divided.

-----------------------

It’s not a map you need
It’s the courage to walk
In the mapless territory.

-----------------------

We imagine the armor we wear
Keeps others out
But really it's a prison
That keeps us locked in.

----------------------

One fruit withers on the vine
The other grows into sweetness

Don’t let your suffering shrivel you
Let it feed your soul into maturity
Be devoted only to the love within you.

----------------------

You reach out
In the darkness
In your grief
Or loneliness
An invisible hand
Gently touches you
And a cool breeze 
Wipes the tears away
Grace is ever present.

---------------------

There is no ground
And when you stop imagining there is
After some adjustment
There is a deep sense of freedom.

---------------------

Only silence matters.
And the calm to love what comes.
The world is noise—
a ghost,
an illusion,
pulling us in
until we forget
the grace we are.

I am offering an online Daylong on June 28.

'The Alchemy of Love.'

'We are going to explore the shift from ego-based relationship—marked by unconscious attachment, control, and fear—to awakened relationship, rooted in truth, presence, and love.'

Kavi has been in relationship with nondual teacher and author Amoda Maa for over 20 years. Relationship has been his greatest teacher—stripping him of illusions, revealing the truth of love beyond personal need.

His insights come not from theory, but from the lived experience of walking through fire and coming out transformed.

Drawing on personal experience and the wisdom gained from his relationship with Amoda Maa, he will illuminate the profound invitation that relationship offers us—not just as a means to personal fulfillment, but as a vehicle for awakening.
