Light is the power of God, the glory of God, the knowledge of God, the will of God, the character of God. It is in all things and through all things, and acts on them all, but is also its own entity.
Light is the comprehension of all things: an awareness that they exist, an understanding of what they are and are not, and a correct recognition of their value or lack thereof. It is the perception of what is hidden and the realization of what was unknown.
Light is not reality; it is the means by which it is discerned, or perceived and understood. It is the means by which things are perceptible, while it itself is invisible.
11 And the light which shineth, which giveth you light, is through him who enlighteneth your eyes, which is the same light that quickeneth your understandings;
12 Which light proceedeth forth from the presence of God to fill the immensity of space—
13 The light which is in all things, which giveth life to all things, which is the law by which all things are governed, even the power <u>of God</u> who sitteth upon his throne, who is in the bosom of eternity, who is in the midst of all things. (D&C 88)
The Lord emits all light and truth through the universe. Light is the means by which God is in all things and through all things. It is a signal that is broadcast through all things at all times. It is all there, all the time, whether recognized or not. It is the voice of God emanating from his throne.
