Whence the Light?

When the tree branches wave in our dreams, we would do well to remember there is no wind inside our skulls. We create and animate every detail for our own amusement, enlightenment, or terror.

Likewise, when the light shines it comes from you, not to you.

"Opaque curtains, translucent veils, clear windows, open doors, bright mirrors, brilliant lamps, windowless and doorless barriers that open mysteriously, bridges of radiance over precipices and oceans, broad highways of sunlight, narrow paths of moonlight. beams of radiance emanating from the breast of holy beings on moonless nights, lightning flashes prolonged in ecstasy, angels of Light, ladders of Light. and stairways of Light--these are the landscape of the mystic way. Spiritual travelers encounter these forms of Light. which take form temporarily and change form instantly, as they traverse the infinite dimensions of the unified field of Light in bodies of Light drawn to the single goal of Light."
