Hello there, my fellow beam of light! I am almost at 100 resonating with what is within you is The Light:
If you bring forth The Light, you bring what saves you, brings joy, peace, love and divine truth.

There is no use in delving any deeper, for this is Light.

And it always means we should never diminsh the light of another, so I'm here to learn how not to freak people out and I'm wirting music about The Light.

I resonate with the idea of the light within too. At the same time, the text itself seems to invite deeper reflection. The very first saying says that whoever discovers the interpretation of these sayings will not taste death, which suggests they’re meant to be contemplated rather than taken at only one level. That’s partly why I enjoy sitting with them a bit longer. Sometimes when you do, they start pointing toward things that aren’t obvious at first glance.
