There
is no darkness in reality. The darkness that we see at
night-time is due to the limitation of the mind of man.
The
purpose of night and day, light and darkness, is to keep ever
before man's mind in clear fact the difference between error and
truth. Already the symbolism of light and darkness runs through
men's speech. Pitch darkness shows as much lack of Balance as
dazzling light. Neither condition denotes perfection of
Balance.
We
have to remember that man is on a journey; that he is in the
process of becoming; that he is still very far indeed from the
goal. We have to remember that a measurable time ago man was not
at all. That life on this planet was not at all. Then we must
remember how the Mind of God gave birth, on this planet, to the
spark of Himself within the single cell. And that conceived in
the Mind of God was the spark should grow and develop until it
is like fire to its parent, with the ability to draw from its
Parent Source creative power; and with the power, like its
Parent, to radiate creative light.
The
perceptive abilities of a spark, or one little spot of
light-ray, could only be very limited in a great field of light.
So that man still sees darkness because of the limitations of
his perceptive ability.
It
is right that he sees darkness in this world with the senses of
this world's material vibration. But if he only uses those
material senses, he is in no position to aver that there is no
other light but the material light of the sun. He sees no other
light at present because of the limitation of his perception.
