Light & Shadow

The brighter the light the more clearly delineated and dark the shadows of that which is out of that light. The murkier the light, the more uniform all appears.
To unfortunately make the analogous nature of this all a bit too obvious, there are certain false notions of spirituality that imagine that the brighter the light the more all is embraced as one, whereas in reality the more in truth the more clear that which is out of truth. This idea itself of all being accepted into one Truth is simply an emanation of the murkiness where vision is clouded and ultimately becomes the mandate of Hasan bin Sabbah, the Old Man of the Mountain: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted."
