Whatever one implants firmly in the mind becomes the essential thing. So if you pray and offer a blessing to God, or if you wish your intention to be true, imagine that you arc light. All around you - in every corner and on every side - is light. Turn to your right, and you will find shining light; to your left, splendor, a radiant light.

Between them, up above, the light of the Presence. Surrounding that, the light of life. Above it all, a crown of light - crowning the aspirations of thought, illumining the paths of imagination, spreading the radiance of vision. This light is unfathomable and endless.

 

Light that makes things seen, makes things invisible. Were it not for night and the shadow of the earth, the noblest part of creation had remained unseen and the stars in heaven invisible.

( Sir Thomas Browne, English poet))
