The glorious light is concealed and then revealed. We are born in that light but with our spiritual eyes closed - blind like kittens. Some in life will never open those eyes, not interested or not daring. Others will feel the light on closed eyelids and need to know what is around them. They can only learn about the light through hearsay. They hear about the religion of their culture and about the truth it contains. They hear what they must believe and how they must live. For some that is enough and the eyes stay closed and warm.
The still restless seek to move beyond the hearsay.
Eastern religions are known and their worship based on mystical teaching and meditational practices. The Christian scriptures contain similar markers and signs but they are hidden because we read intellectually or with the wool of long remembered hearsay in our minds. But see the historical Jesus not as a Hebrew rabbi but as a teacher from the light. And read differently. He opens the eyes of the blind, telling followers time and time again to look and see. To let your light shine.
When the stone is rolled away from the cave the true Christ is revealed. Those who then see have the knowledge of God within them. They are in love with life. Eyes wide open they have transcended hearsay. The spiritual world is all around them and in everything. They share knowledge of truth, beauty, love and time. They are enlightened.
