Heavenletter #5142 Comradeship with the Great Spiritual Ones

Posted November 3rd, 2014 by Luus

Dear Gloria,

Am I right to think that "One light can go off after another", should read: "One light can go on after another"/

We could say that a revelation appears over the horizon the way the sun rises. It comes up. There it is. Right in front of you. Nothing to it. Yet the horizon is inside you. It is your revelation coming to the fore. And then you become one who reveals. A light goes on in you, and you reflect some light. You can’t reveal a revelation, and yet your light can spark another light. One light can go off after another.

Thanks.

Yes, you are right again.

Yes, you are right again. This needs attention.

I will just mention that, as best I can tell, we can say a light goes on and we can say a light goes off meaning on!

To make it simple and clear, let's say as you suggested, one light can go on after another, and just leave it at that!

Thanks once again, beloved Luus.

The only instance I can

The only instance I can think of to say that a light goes off when it means on would be the flash on a camera. This is instantaneous and momentary, like a gunshot, which also goes off in English when it is fired. Using a camera with a flood light, you would turn that light on, not off

I'm thiinking that idea of the flash might have been the original image, but you are both right that leaving it as is would probably just cause much unnecessary confusion.
