Mack F. Hewitt, California: "While lying in bed thinking, I was suddenly aware of a blinding brilliance. It was a flash of light that I could feel as well as see. It frightened me and instantly it disappeared. I went to sleep immediately. Other occasions followed this first one and I seemed to observe that the light I saw was bluish-white at the outer edges and intensely white at the centre. It was just a little to the left of me and somewhat above me. I had the sensation that I could feel, sense, that I was on the threshold of all knowledge. The experience of light only lasted one second the first time and somewhat longer the other times. It was all-enveloping and came several times during two years. It came at night when retiring and left behind exhilaration and upliftment."
