BIBLE VERSES
|
GENESIS 1:3
"Then God said, “Let there
be light”; and there was light."
In biblical symbolism, this verse marks the first interior
illumination within the evolving soul.
It is not physical light, nor the light of the sun (which appears
later), but the awakening of consciousness itself, the first ray of
the Higher Self penetrating the darkness of the unawakened lower
carnal nature.
Symbolic Structure
- “God said”
The Divine Will issues its first formative impulse. This is the
Higher Self initiating the work of inner creation.
- “Let there be light”
The command symbolizes the birth of spiritual perception, the
dawning of buddhi‑manas or the faculty within consciousness that can
discern truth from illusion.
- “And there was light”
The response of the lower nature to the Higher.
When the soul becomes receptive, illumination appears instantly, not
as knowledge, but as awareness.
Inner Meaning in Mysticism
- This “light” is the first glimmer of the Divine
within the personality.
- It is the awakening of discrimination, the
ability to sense the Real behind appearances.
- It marks the beginning of the soul’s ascent from
primordial darkness (unconsciousness) toward
spiritual understanding.
Related KJV Verses
- Psalm 36:9 — “In thy light shall we see light.”
- John 1:9 — “That was the true Light, which
lighteth every man…”
- 2 Corinthians 4:6 — “God… hath shined in our
hearts…”
Each of these echoes the same inner event: the Higher Self (male)
illuminating the receptive soul (female).
The Esoteric Message…..
The spiritual life begins the moment the inner darkness consents to
illumination; every true beginning is an act of light.
