When billions of little stars find themselves individually fragmented and split off from the Original Beautiful Light, they suddenly begin to feel guilt over the mistaken thought that they had destroyed that Beautiful Light to gain their individuality. This sense of separation from their Source fosters fierce competition, with each star pitted against every other. Each star's individual goal is to replace the Original Beautiful Light, but feeble twinkling is all that their super-strenuous and exhausting efforts can produce. The Parable of the Stars is a story of rediscovery as the stars come to remember their true beauty and power within their oneness as the single beautiful Light.
