The Inward Eye

 

In this video I wanted to use my affinity for the night-time as an opportunity to discuss more personal and esoteric matters. I’ve really enjoyed making these videos for The Oldest Magic series, but I felt called to speak about something deeper, and that’s the process of contemplation. I guess changing the way I post content on this blog has affected me far quicker than I thought it would. My intuition tells me that’s a good thing, especially if what I post helps someone out there in some way. Even if it’s just a single soul who really needs to hear these particular words, or simply needs to resonate with my kind of energy.

I’ll be the first to admit the idea of filming myself talking to camera was quite unsettling to begin with. Just the idea of putting myself out there like that unnerved me a little, but now I get the sense that I’m doing what I’m supposed to in terms of a wider range of creativity. So, I’ll trust that intuition. In this video you might hear me refer to another video that I filmed but never published to YouTube. It’s just me trying to get better at and more comfortable with this style of self-expression, so please bear with me.

But yeah, this is the most intimate and personal I’ve ever been on Amid Night Suns, and I truly hope the video is taken in the spirit of affection and friendship with which it’s intended. More than that, I hope my words bring comfort or insight to those who need it. If you’ve ever been through similarly dark times, as discussed in this video, I want you to know that you’re not alone. Things can get better. So much better, and brighter. They did for me, and for the longest time I didn’t think that was possible. But anything is possible with a little guidance, inspiration, and contemplation.

Wishing you all the best, my friends, and with love,

Raj.
