[Sharing Lights]

The elixir of everlasting life is condensed light.

The light that protects
If you want to protect yourself against someone who uses violence and tries to impose certain limits on you, wrap yourself – and your aggressor – in light, and they will be unable to carry out their evil designs.

If you have to be out alone at night and are afraid of being attacked, call on the light to walk beside you, and it will come and keep you company and protect you. (Obviously, you must be sensible and not expose yourself to danger unnecessarily or thoughtlessly in the belief that heaven has nothing better to do than to watch over whatever you do!) It is not the criminals themselves who sense the presence of light; it is the evil spirits that accompany them who are terrified by it and urge them to keep away from you.

The light that brings harmony and love
If you want your family to live in harmony, picture your house bathed in light. If you want your friends to be pleased to see you when you go to visit them, concentrate for a few moments before you go into their house, and send some light in ahead of you. Most people go and see their friends when they are depressed, irritable, or worried and want to be cheered up. This is a sure way to lose their friendship!

If you want to win people's love, you must realize that the only way is to use light. All other means – money, seduction, or violence – are forbidden. The only means acceptable to heaven (and also the only truly effective means) are to send them gifts of spiritual light, to surround them with light. If you want someone to think of you and love you, therefore, send them light, and when their soul receives these beneficial waves, it will appreciate you more and more and begin to take an interest in you.


A collective exercise with light
Concentrate and imagine that you are all enveloped in a brilliant sheath of light that radiates with such splendour that our gathering forms an immense sun, a sun capable of lighting up the whole world. Each one of you should feel like a luminous sun, pulsing and shimmering with light and sending out rays that join and mingle with the light from all the others to form a single gigantic sun.

Then introduce this sun into your heart and mind and contemplate the multi-coloured rays flowing from it. While you are doing this exercise, forget everything else and, all together, concentrate on radiating light for the whole world.

Light, the image of God
Imagine a dazzling light in which everything – suns, angels and archangels – throb and vibrate as though they were fused into one infinite ocean. This ocean of light into which all forms melt and blend is the true image of God.
