We are allowed to be happy and to share our joy with everyone. But sometimes it is the very fact that we shine our own light that causes us our problems with others because they react judgementally.
"Our light" can be very threatening to some people, causing us to turn on the dimmer switch to keep them from being upset with us. Dumbing ourselves down is another aspect of this.
What should we do in this situation
Pray for protection and humility and ask that Holy Spirit help shine through us.
Asking for protection is to keep you out of the direct beam of others "evil eye" their negaitive energy they are aiming right at you to get you to shut up or go away or to cause you harm. Asking for protection and humility gives the responsibility to the harmful "others" and keeps you from feeling you must do battle.
It is always good to be mindful of others, but not shining at all is taking part in the darkness of the world and there are too many doing that already.
We are all one together of infinite spirit, and not shining is denying that holy power within us that is. It's not just all about us.
When we are of spirit we are looking for others to share our gifts with. When we come from ego we are looking for others to put out the fire of our pain. We are separated from God, and we are fragmented inside, split from our true self. Our spiritual sanity is using this moment to send up a flag and warn us we are not in unity when we want others to deny their gift.
When we allow those fragmented souls to squelch out our light, we are not in touch with ourselves. This kind of behavior is why we need to be well and know ourselves "inside" before we bring another into our life.
