“Pythagoras said; “The body of God is composed of the substance of light.” Where light is, God is. Who worships light, worships God. Who serves light, serves God. What more fitting symbol has any man ever conceived of the ever living, pulsating Divine Father than the living, pulsating radiating fire. Fire is the most sacred of all elements and the most ancient of all symbols. This being the case, the ancients were not without reason and philosophy when they accepted fire, or light, as their supreme symbol, and chose as the emblem of the universal light the central glory of the sun. In so doing they became not sun worshippers but worshippers of God as He manifests Himself through the light of truth.” ~ Manly Palmer Hall. 1901 -1990
“Light is the symbol of consciousness. Darkness is not an opposing force, but merely the absence of illumination. When man dwells in ignorance, he walks in darkness; when he understands, he stands in light. The sages of antiquity declared that the universe itself is a manifestation of divine light descending through degrees of density until it appears as matter. Thus to increase in wisdom is to return toward luminosity, to refine the substance of thought until it reflects the brilliance of the Eternal.” — Manly P Hall, The Secret Teachings of all Ages
