− | JarEl: Part of this transformation is that [[quality]] of [[spirit]] which is whole and complete. Viewed against spirit you are able to distinguish your own [[fracture]], your own incompleteness. It is like putting yourself up against spiritual light and you look somewhat like an [[abstract]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalmatian_%28dog%29 Dalmatian], where there are dark and light spots. The light spots are where the spiritual light is able to come through, ([[clarity]]); the spots where there is [[translucency]], are not necessarily clear, but light is able to [[glow]]. There are dense areas where light is not able to penetrate. In particular it is these areas which the spiritual light shows you. [[Eventually]], using a visual metaphor, you must [[become]] clear as [[crystal]], to be able to [[perfectly]] [[reflect]] the light which is within. It is at this point of clarity that you come close to the substance of the spirit within. You become more like [[love]]. | + | JarEl: Part of this transformation is that [[quality]] of [[spirit]] which is whole and complete.

− | Though no one has mentioned it, it is interesting to note that material light is composed of [[colors]]. As a school child takes a [[prism]] to light, it can be broken down into a series of colors, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_colors primary colors], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_colors secondary colors], and even [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertiary_color tertiary colors]. Spirit light has no color. It is [[pure]] light, it is the pattern from which physical light is taken. It is a [[reflection]] of the first light, [[the first source]] of Light. It is as if God gave material characteristics to all of the spiritual [[counterparts]] of [[Paradise]], not the other way around. Something else to think about this week. | + | Though no one has mentioned it, it is interesting to note that material light is composed of [[colors]].
