If seen at all, the Light as a lightning-flash is ordinarily seen at the beginning and near the end of the Quest. In the first case, it appears as a slender ray and inclines the man toward spiritual things or wakes him up to their existence. In the second case, it appears as a mass of living brilliance pulsating inside, through, and around him, or throughout the universe, and brings him close to union with God.
