*LIGHT - also see TRUTH, DARKNESS
Paradox that in the night, there is light. LOFTY KNOWLEDGE OF THE GODHEAD IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN WHEN OUR INTELLECT IS DARKENED AND LOVE LIFTS US INTO THE CLOUD OF UNKNOWING. To accept as a blessing the apparent adversity of the dark night, its aridity and inner void, is to find oneself closer to God than one might be in the bright light of day. (Dark Night, p130-2)
They should renounce their errors, bethink them of the salvation of their souls and of the perfect felicity awaiting humanity in that immaterial world of light where, in repose and in all his purity, the Great Creator dwells in perfect majesty. (Lost Years, p246)
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light [truth/goodness]. (Plato)
How awesome it is that a small light overcomes the vast darkness by being point of direction. Just as light houses guide ships at sea or stars that give us a bearing of direction, a few of us too can lead those multitute of others out in the darkness by living righteously like JC. (Randy)
