This article is based on the concept of darkness and light as literal contrast between evil and good.


By default, humans are filled with darkness from the very beginning. This is similar to the process of creation. Before light, there was darkness; .....darkness was on the face of the deep ( Gen 1:2). This also explains the concept of man in his crudest form being an evil genius. Without any effort, we ooze out evil and wickedness. This supports the hypothesis of a direct link between darkness and desire of the flesh as this is evident is our everyday's activities: licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy,greediness and many more. Our world, which is supposed to be a haven has become a threat to her inhabitants due to our own doings.

And as read from the history of creation, light was the first thing to be created. All other things came in to existence after light. This shows clearly the importance of light as to the sequence of development. It points into direction of human's evolution, the essence of light in our being. It is analogical to an example of carrying out a task in a room filled with darkness; how difficult it would be to fulfill this task without light. Obviously, the first logical thing to do would be to introduce light with the right intensity into the room. We can not talk about the essence of light without making reference to its intensity. obviously, the effect of light from the sun can not be compared to what can be gotten from a candle light. And this is why the right intensity of light will be required for different situations.


And from this basic explanations, it will not be an overstatement to say that light is the understanding principle in mind and a symbol of wisdom. Light is the first item of consciousness, It is an awareness of an obliviousness, it brings about illumination of our world. Light has also been scientifically proven to be a type of energy which can be converted to other energies for the use of mankind. Thus, we can say, Light is also power.


This means; if things are to be done in the right way, we must first allow light into our existence. We need to rescue our world which is collapsing under our watch with our many activities linked to darkness. We need to refine ourselves. A key question to ask ourselves on the part of awakening is; What is my source of light? Then, this will lead to the next question of how much light is in me with clarity on its intensity.

This will help us to properly evaluate ourselves and re awake our souls to yearning of the spiritual ascension.
