EKI ISSUE 04

SPIRITUAL LIGHT

In the Bible, Jesus says, “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life.” In the Quran, we read, “Allah is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth.” One of the most famous passages in Genesis reads, “And God said, «Let there be Light!» and there was Light.” The quote from the Bhagavad Gita that says, “If the Light of a thousand suns were to burst forth in the sky, it would be like the splendor of the Mighty One.” is among the most famous in the West too. Light does recur in the pages of sacred texts from all over the world.

We hope that the pages of Eki 04 will also be a way for you to approach the Divine, with an approach certainly different from that of traditional theologies, but still imbued with the same sense of respect that the sacred and the spiritual of the whole world deserve.

Alla fine, tutti noi diventiamo luce, l’energia è pura luce; la luce è il segreto di tutto.
