there is light in everything – recognise it in your neighbour

What once began with the one Light that is God himself and that was sown in every human being, imbues life with warmth, reason and deliberation. Seen in this way, it is able, through man, to provide a city like Tokyo with millions of small lights. We may also say of the work of Don Relyea from Dallas, Texas (illustration above; ‘… I design software to make art’), a number of whose works of art have been included in this issue, that it shows how it is particularly the Light in every atom and in every human being that enables life, expression, connection and diversity. Everything is linked by the Light – and therefore real; love your neighbour, because his light is also in you, and your light is in him…

The not-being of the eye is as a clear mirror, in which God sees himself. If this new light is kindled within us, a new world develops before the inner eye. What does the inner eye see? Who sees with the inner eye? It is the perfect one, the divine Horus human being, whom the ancient Egyptians called ‘the son’ who, within the human being, sees into his own divine world, and the human being can be its silent, illuminated witness. In this silence, the eye will moreover, and how could it be different, emanate transformed light power.

‘I am the Light of the Eyes, the Spirit, Who lives in the unfathomable depths.’

Bhagavad Gita
