The deeper pursuit of inner wisdom necessitates a search for light and an inclination toward it. In a spiritual journey, light is typically regarded as a guiding factor that leads to self-awareness. The question, “What is oneself?” must be asked before illumination can occur. It is greater than any universal query posed. Many individuals lack awareness of their own unity. With universes and galaxies falling within our bodies’ sphere, it becomes an expansive voyage. Understanding these physical elements and transforming them into waveforms instills a sense of duality in the spirit. This process is more demanding than psychological intervention, no less complex than physics, and ultimately satisfies the darker desire for understanding.
What is the connection between light, oneself, and anything beyond light? It might seem that the body needs material acquisition to address every issue that motivates a quest for illumination. To gain a deeper understanding of thought beyond its own existence, the body needs various derivations from worldly creation. It is crucial to reach a point where detachment begins to manifest, and material perceptions lose their relevance. When more tension is applied, this detached state—commonly referred to as the “broken string”—occurs. The ability to form a detached string with the world is remarkable. However, even at this point, the body maintains its heroic posture. The world may break the string, but the body holds its dominant position. The body and self now interact as characters.
This state is more complex than a body trapped in a materialistic world; it is a confusing condition. Ideas and disarray intensify, come together, and then further disintegrate. This collapse is necessary for an organism to become self-devoid. The process becomes more difficult if both body and self are used together. The hardest challenge of being in a body is not recognizing it. A meditating body is a further step toward understanding these dynamics. This tie is broken with the aid of a thrust, and a stage is attained, like a proton secluded within an atom. This is the strongest sense of self-isolation with positivity. Reactions and conditions no longer exist. By being inside one’s own body, one can access the self, separate from the body.
A “line of light” emerges from the realization of reaching this depth of oneself. This light is not ordinary; it is a knowing that one deeply yearns for. The darkness seems to dissipate. This light gives an inward sense of fulfillment and leads to wisdom otherwise unattainable. Knowledge through light dominates, with no bodily engagement or mental process. This has nothing to do with previous collections of thought. Long periods spent in this beautiful fusion of light and self can prompt further inquiries. The relevant question is: “Does this light have a permanent nature, or does it fade over time?” The seeker’s soul gains extreme wisdom from the light, but it is crucial to recognize what lies beyond it.
Consider a beautiful example: Rain falls gently from the sky as clouds gather and darkness descends during the day. On the horizon, a mix of light and dark appears. Without darkness, light is never fully exemplified. Light itself is endless because it lacks the dark quality that completes it. Darkness should not be interpreted as a place of conceit or ignorance. Instead, darkness symbolizes the presence of light.
This concept parallels a larger question. According to higher mathematics, parallel lines never meet; however, if these lines rotate and meet at a subtle end, the mind’s condition becomes more terrifying than the end we often fear. The fear of not pursuing new ideas captures the mind, creating a boundary between being and non-existence. Beyond this way of thinking, the binary dual component reveals ecstasy and dispels fear. This exploration is tenacious, striving to understand the next steps, which seem complementary to the initial pursuit. The actions resemble the parallelism from which the knot of understanding separates.
Indeed, even in a world without hope or light, there is a ray—a glimmer of shadow. Though difficult, this shadow provides inner strength to find light and achieve goals. In the presence of light, objectives are transient; in darkness, they become permanent. Darkness represents dark energy, a negative force. Only love can transform it into light. This highly charged particle of energy fights for love, which allows it to transform from darkness to vibrant brightness.
Does that mean love is light?
It is the light which is beyond the light, even in the darkness of the dark.
To answer this, we need a thorough examination of dimensions. In the infinite universe, there are limitless dimensions beyond what our senses can detect. The light beam that reaches our eyes may determine dimensions and produce sensuous images. This process ultimately leads to love or zero, hinting at infinity. Throughout life, a person can traverse dimensions in many ways. These dimensions exist outside of light, as well as within its effects.
The forms may not be just spherical; they could be eclipses, hemispheres, or entirely unknown shapes. We may not have a complete understanding of this polar and non-polar behavior of light in our lives.
Hence, light exists even beyond light, even in the darkness of the dark.
