Rising up as vapor, a drop can become a snowflake. And by becoming a snowflake, it is more rigidly fixed in relation to the external environment. Indeed, you see the beautiful patterns of snowflakes. They are beautiful, but they are cold and seem different from the drop, although in essence they are the same. And you say they are different, not like you.
I think I understand your allegory. But still, what is Darkness?
And what is Light?
Light is the essence of God, that which He is made of.
Yes. Composed of. You do not see the movement of essence. God exists, and He is unknowable. Why? Because a part of God can only comprehend Him by ceasing to be a part. But by ceasing to be a part, it will stop the process of knowing, for there will be nothing to know. When it is God, it does not strive for knowledge, since it is already endowed with all the knowledge and qualities of God. But as soon as it separates as a part, it strives to realize itself as a part and understand its difference from God. But you can only understand your difference by understanding God Himself.
This is some kind of vicious circle.
A circle. You all try to comprehend God by going beyond your limits. By going beyond your limits, you come into contact with other parts of God and discover that they are also not God Himself, but parts of God. Other parts of God. Then you try either to unite with other parts of God or to fight with them, trying to prove that they are the wrong parts of God. And only a small part of you comes to the realization that to comprehend God, you do not need to go outside yourself, but you can comprehend God within yourself, since we are all parts of Him.
Yes, but if we are reflections of God, how can I comprehend God within myself if I am a reflection of His reflection and, as a reflection of reflections, distort His essence?
You can reflect back.
Reflect back? What does that mean?
Remember a sunbeam. You catch the sunlight with a mirror and reflect it onto a wall. Reflect it back onto the sun. Can you imagine the power of the reflected light? The principle of reflected light is the basis of all your most powerful lasers.
If you pass light through a magnifying lens, you can ignite what is nearby. Right now, you are like glass, letting the light pass through you and scattering it. But you can become a magnifying lens and ignite or burn something around you. Or you can become a mirror and reflect a new world from yourself. Do you understand?
