"God, the primordial Fire, first created Light, and Light then created the world; nothing that was made was made without Light. When you light a fire it produces light. Fire engenders light. Light is a manifestation, an emanation of fire. Light is the raiment of fire and this is why light is always associated with matter. In the sublime regions on high, light is related to matter and fire to the spirit. Light is matter in its subtlest, most tenuous form, and what we call matter is simply highly condensed, concentrated light." - Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
"Every time you light a fire the story of the creation of the world is being re-enacted before your eyes. And this is the whole point of our spiritual work : to learn how to find all the things we need in that subtler, finer state which most nearly resembles their primordial state." - Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
