LIGHT AND SUPERLIGHT

 

 

ET 107 ET 107 CHAPTER TEN "LIGHT AND SUPERLIGHT”

Apart from physical light, however, their is psychic light, which illuminates all the planes and sub-planes of the psychic world. This light has two aspects. First of all, its source is each atom and cell of the psychic material. This is not what occurs in the gross material world, where a centre of very high frequency etheric vibration is required for the creation of light. In the psychic world on every plane and sub-plane, each atom, each molecule and everything that exists gives of f its own light. Nothing in the psychic world is lit by reflection. The other aspect of psychic light is that its vibrations provide a feeling of satisfaction, which is difficult for human personalities

--in the material world-- to understand, since there is no corresponding experience in the gross material world.

 

ET 108 All our emotions are born and developed within the psychic light, because what we call the psychic world is the world of emotions. The brighter the psychic light with which our personality is bathed, the greater will be the satisfaction we feel.

                                                                                                                                                                      

ET 108           Nevertheless, there are areas in which what we call psychic darkness prevails, although even there the darkness is not total. These areas correspond to the so-called hells. The darkness which prevails there produces a feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction. These are located in the lowest sub-planes of the psychic world. We could say that these are conditions in which the light does not shine, but manifests itself at its lowest frequency, which means that absolute darkness is not a feature of the psychic world. The impression of the personality which has come to such a low sub-plane is that it is an environment of insufficient light, excluding the possibility for any feeling of contentment.

 

Beyond the psychic light there is noetical light, which need not particularly concern us, since it forms a continuum with psychic light, simply corresponding to the higher frequen­cies of the noetical world.

 

Above the worlds of separation there exists the so-called mental light. The mental or inextinguishable light is no longer  something which illuminates an object in order to transmit impressions and used as a means of comprehending such objects. The light itself, in this case, is total understanding and cannot be associated with the concept of "seeing", but only of "illumination" - the true perception which comes with the blessings of attunement and at-one-ment.

 

ET 199           Superlight, however, is less a means, and more a characteristic of the Self-aware Soul --not of the temporary personality--, which gives the satisfaction of attunement and at-one-ment with whatever the Self-aware Soul desires.

 

As far as the relationship between object, means and recep­tor is concerned, the triangle --object of study, Superlight, Self-aware Soul-- in the worlds of Superlight tends to be seen as being the same as the high peaks of that world and as creating a state of complete contentment and wisdom.

 

Within Superlight and beyond the noetical world we are no longer in the worlds of separation and existence, but in the states of at-one-ment and Beingness. We have entered into Absolute Beingness, without, however, being totally absorbed by the Highest Godhead. We are within Absolute Beingness, but can, all the same, distinguish between "I am", "You are" and Being. Returning from our sojourn into the worlds of duality we have earned the independence; the Microcosm has entered the Macrocosm. Separateness as space-place-time existences is extinguished; we are no longer known by any name, as in the lower worlds, but rather by the Divine Individuality of Self-conscious Beingness.
