Q36: Jeshua, in [[ACIM|A Course In Miracles]] you say something about the “Great Rays of [[Light]].” What is that about?
A: Indeed, beloved friend, although I did not spend much [[time]] in seeking to define it, the Great Rays of Light simply refer to the [[Truth]] of each and every one of us. In this way, by way of [[metaphor]], your Creator is as the [[First Source|Central Sun]]. And out of its overflowing, Rays of Light are cast out. And those Rays of Light are made of one substance with the Light. And yet, something incomprehensible occurs. Each Ray of Light can be seen, in a sense, to stand [[alone]] in its [[relationship]] to the central Sun. It is made of the same substance as every Great Ray of Light, and each Ray of Light has its own pure [[potentiality]] for the [[creation]] of [[experience]]. The Great Rays of Light, then, refer to the [[essence]] of each and every [[soul]]. For [[the soul]] is an [[infinite]] Ray of Light - [[eternal]], unbounded, unborn, and undying.
But there is another level. And this simply means that the Great Rays of Light is like the realm of [[ideas]]. Ideas each carry a certain [[vibration]] or [[quality]]. The Great Rays of Light are the great ideas, the great [[visions]]. For instance, [[forgiveness]] is a Great Ray of Light. [[Judgment]] is a [[distortion]] of Light. Unlimitedness is a Great Ray of Light. [[Fear]] and contraction and limitation are [[distortions]] of that Light. You could think of many more: [[compassion]] instead of [[control]], [[trust]] instead of fear, and so on.
So Great Rays of Light also refer to the ideas that [[liberate]] [[the mind]], the ideas that are eternal and are found in every form of the Universal Curriculum. Indeed, each and every one of you [[listening]] to these words is a Great Ray. And the Great Rays have existed with that one [[central Sun]] throughout all of eternity. That is the [[Truth]] of your [[being]], and it is perhaps the most fundamental Truth that must occur as a Knowingness within the mind: I AM A GREAT RAY OF LIGHT - UNBOUNDED, ETERNAL, UNBORN AND UNDYING! Try as I will, I cannot get away from being a creator, a [[co- creator]]. So maybe it’s time I stopped pretending I am less than a Great Ray, and got on with [[discovering]] how I can let that Light shine - even in [[this world]].[http://www.templecanyon.com/jeshuaQuestions192.html]
