CONCERNING THE INNER LIGHT

We should beware of attaching too much importance to the concept 'inner light'. Light or, rather, brightness attaches to every element, as its free aspect, whether in psyche (male) or in soma (female), as, of course, does shadow or, equivalently, darkness, if rather more in relation to the bound aspect thereof than to anything free.

Granted, then, that metaphysics, the godly/heavenly element par excellence, is divisible between a bright and a shadow (light and dark) side, its principal aspects are, however, lightness and softness, the former the graceful aspect of free psyche and the latter the wise aspect of bound soma, with lightness prevailing over softness in the ratio of approximately 3:1, in accordance with absolute criteria (noumenal) based or, rather, centred in absolute male subjectivity.

Thus the qualitative essence of metaphysics will ever preponderate over its quantitative appearance in the manner described, with three times as much brightness in lightness as darkness in softness, the metaphysical ratio of father to son, soul to spirit, church to state, wavicles to particles, psyche to soma, virtue to vice.
