In theology, divine light (also called divine radiance or divine effulgence) is an aspect of divine presence, specifically an unknown and mysterious ability of human beings to express themselves communicatively through spiritual means rather than physical capacities.
ㅤ
The term light was archetypically used in spirituality. Bible commentators see the presence of light as a metaphor for truth, good, knowledge, etc.
ㅤ
In the first chapter of the Bible, God generates light at the beginning of creation. The Hindu Rig Veda includes numerous references to the sacredness of light. Buddhist scriptures speak of various light buddhas.

Light is the central concept of Iranian mysticism. The main roots of this thinking are in the beliefs of Zoroastrianism, which define God as the source of light. This same essential attribute manifests itself in various schools of thought in Persian mysticism and philosophy.
ㅤ
Although this school originated from Iranian culture and beliefs, it has spread throughout Europe and can be seen and traced back to the teachings of the Enlightenment era, the Renaissance movement and even the secret cults of the early "Illuminati".
"Light is the symbol of consciousness, and it can be understood through analogies with light" ~ Carl Gustav Jung in the interpretation of Taoist texts "The Secret of the Golden Flower".
Light is Consciousness. The Universe is Mental.
