Morphing with Light

There is a light behind forms.   We could call it the life, soul or spirit of form.  Whatever its name, it is the essence of things, the inner meaning of things.   To read a thing well, is to divine its inner light.  In paragraphs, we call it understanding the meaning.  In relationships, reading well is the evocation of love.  In nature, it is resonance with beauty.

I propose that good reading of anything is morphing with light.  To get at the inner meaning of a thing, we must identify with it, merge with it.   And to read well, we need to go deep into a thing and deep into ourselves.  These two depths are, as you may imagine, intimately related.  Morphing with light is true consciousness.

I've called attention to the great utility of looking at everything in degrees.  Adding that thought here, suggests that morphing with light is a multi-dimensional process.  So enhance the definition and say that there are worlds of light behind all forms.

But often, we fail to morph with light.  Instead, we invest ourselves in the surface of things.  The surface is attractive because light from the depth makes it shiny.  We get caught in this glitter and think we've got the real meaning.  We merge with the surface sparkle and mistake it for deep light.
