Light: Intellect.

Light: Intellect.

The relationships present among the laws of the world, which are comprehensible to consciousness, and through the perception of the world consciousness is able to recognize these relationships. These relationships are present both in heaven and in the material world, but their becoming conscious is what means light. As long as no one knows them, they are still present, but they are present as darkness, unconsciously.

Genesis 1:3

Light means not only the understanding of the laws, but also the relationships between the laws — the network of relationships among the laws, which cannot be recognized merely through the knowledge of the laws.

The manifestation of the laws in the material world reveals the relationships between them and the limiting forces that exist between them.

Through experiences in the material world, we are able to recognize and understand the laws that define the world. However, all laws are present simultaneously here; therefore, our experiences also reveal how harmony between the laws is able to appear. The laws form a complete system, which we are only able to comprehend and understand gradually. Through our experiences, we come to know more and more laws, and we discover more and more relationships between the laws.

The recognition of new laws and new relationships also expands our perception. The better we know the world, the more we become capable of perceiving and understanding.
