Question: How can the action of the surrounding light, the “Light that Reforms,” be explained in simple words?

Nature, the Upper Force, the force of love and bestowal, exists in the bonding of all the parts of Creation—which He Himself created—and they exist in harmony and a totally reciprocal connection.

We are unhappy because we have become detached from this integral system. If we want to be happy, we should return to this system, which is called “perfection.”

How can we return? When we want and make an effort to return to the system, we evoke a force within it, which affects us. Thus, we awaken upon us the “surrounding light,” the “Light that Reforms,” a force that leads us back into the general system.

This force acts in congruence with the power of our will—the extent to which we awaken, request, and even demand it from the system.
