Chapter 3Light · Different Forms of Light

One sometimes sees the Light in masses, sometimes in forms — and the most common forms are sun, moon, star or fire.

* The Light is often seen in front before the centre of inner vision, mind and will which is between the eyebrows in the forehead. The Sun means the formed Light of the Divine Truth, the starry consciousness which is seen as the night of Ignorance. The call brought the Light etc. streaming down into the inner being.

* It is not balls or flashes of light [seen around the Mother], but a flow or sea of Light entering into the body and surrounding it and illumining the whole field of consciousness. There can also be a vivid sense of Light and illumination without the vision. It can be seen or felt usually as an intense white or diamond or bluish white light.

* What you saw was the procession of the chariots of the gods (Divine Powers) bringing light flashes into the air and the other was the corresponding movement of lightning flashes of the Truth in the heart lighting up the consciousness. These lightning flashes do not as yet bring knowledge — as the sunlight from above the mind does, — but they prepare the consciousness for realisation and knowledge.

* Sparks or movements of light indicate the play of forces in the consciousness or around it.

* Any well-formed illumined thought can be seen as a spark of light.

* A glow means a subdued but rich light or else a sort of warm exhilaration of a luminous kind.
