How does the word of God act as a light?

The medium describes the light by which he paints, as a clear, electric-like light. The light, which we have is too bright for him and is mellowed down. It is similar to electric light and impresses the medium as such. Does the light proceed from your spirit body? Where do you get your light from? The Sun.

No, you do not. The Sun is but a reflection of the light, which we have. It comes from the great Spirit. 

From Him, as the Source of All, it flows out into infinite, unsearchable space. 

Light is a thing on which there has been great diversity of opinion. To comprehend it fully seems to be beyond the power of man and spirit. In our condition, we have no darkness. 

All is light, and that light comes direct from the great Spirit. 

That same light strikes the sun, and thence is transmitted to your world. For many a day, I thought that the sun was the great source of light. The sun is just a world like your own, that is, it is material like the earth.

There are other systems of worlds far beyond the sun, far surpassing in magnitude, and we, therefore, conclude that these great material suns and systems are supplied with light in the same way. 

The light, which the medium has in his present condition is described by him as a clear, bluish light. It is a light much brighter than anything you can imagine, so brilliant that it must be modified to suit the medium. 

This has to be done with many mediums—they could not stand it—they would fly from it.
