"The general instrument by which God interferes in the affairs of men is by the weapon of LIGHT."

"The moment the light of your being becomes bright, darkness will melt away to reveal the brightness of your consciousness."

"A great ring of pure & endless lightDazzles the darkness in my heartAnd breaks apart the dusky clouds of night.The end of all is hinted in the start.When we are born we bear the seeds of blight;Around us life & death are torn apart,Yet a great ring of pure and endless lightDazzles the darkness in my heart.It lights the world to my delight.Infinity is present in each part.A loving smile contains all art.The motes of starlight spark & dart.A grain of sand holds power & might.Infinity is present in each part,And a great ring of pure and endless lightDazzles the darkness in my heart."

"God himself is referring to Jesus as light, illumination, knowledge, insight, understanding, wisdom."
