Objects from the spiritual world - to see them, we must shed our own light

04/19/2010

The sun is called 'the light of the universe', for it lights up the world, and it is thanks to its light that we can see. When the sun is not shining on us, we need other sources of light: electric light-bulbs, candles, torches, lighthouses, and so on. Objects, therefore, are only visible to the extent that a light is shining on them and lighting them up; this law applies to the physical world and to the spiritual world, too. But in the spiritual world, there is no light to switch on, the way we switch on the stair light or bedroom light, and if we want to see, it is up to us to shine a light. The reason why so few people are able to see on the spiritual plane is that they wait for objects to be lit up, when it is up to them to shine the rays that will allow them to see.
