Let There Be Light

And our shadows on the wall



Here's a thought about God that I recently heard.

Since God's presence would be so overwhelming, that if He were to be directly in front of us, He would overwhelm us, like the sun would a flickering candle.

Still using the metaphor of light as God, then imagine God as the light behind a projector.

The world that includes us is a function of that light shining through the film, and onto the screen.

Without the light, there would be no "us". And we are really the "shadows" on celluloid which form the images that this projection of light magnifies onto the screen.
