Re-Create Your Life with Light

The earth bathed in violet light

 

"God is light, a light infinite and incomprehensible…one single light… simple…timeless, eternal….The light is life. The light is immortality. The light is the source of life."

-Saint Symeon (eleventh-century Byzantine mystic)

 

We cannot survive without light. In a sense, it is our physical source. It is also our spiritual source. Throughout the world’s spiritual traditions, light emerges as a central element at the heart of creation. People who have gone through near-death experiences have basked in the all-consuming love of this light.

This light is transforming. Saint Symeon and other mystics have told us that this light of the Creator is within us. Various spiritual traditions have called it the Atman, the Buddha nature and the Inner Light. This light is the source of our creative power. We’ve all experienced it to some degree—whether in the love we feel for our families, in the joy of communing with nature or in listening to an uplifting piece of music. Yet sustaining the feeling of light’s peace and joy can be a challenge.

 

"What words can describe this!…I see a light which the world does not possess….I see within me the Creator of the world."

-Saint Symeon
