Like a lamp, dispelling the darkness of ignorance
History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.
The most divine light only shineth on those minds which are purged from all worldly dross and human uncleanliness.
The greatest impurity is ignorance. Free yourself from it. Be pure.
Man's best candle is his understanding.
We approach the divine by enlarging our souls and lighting up our brains.
Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile
Your mind has some clearness and capacity for right thinking; it opens towards the heights, but for its own sake, - to receive light from above for its own activity.
For where I found Truth, there found I my God, the Truth itself; which since I learnt, I have not forgotten.
...I sense that stepping into the light is also a powerful metaphor for consciousness, for the birth of the knowing mind, for the simple and yet momentous coming of the sense of self into the world of the mental.
