The Heavenly Light

“God is light.”
— 1 John 1:5

“I have never seen a soul living in its experiences and occupied with itself, with whom the "I" had not a place, without the person's being aware of it. … We do not become acquainted with ourselves by thinking about ourselves: for while we think of Him the "I" disappears: one is in the light, where one is not occupied with oneself.”
