Interesting correlation between God and light...

This is because most religions are derived from Pagan rituals involving the Sun and celestial objects.

Welcome to Able2know and I hope you stick around.

Light is interesting as a metaphor for insight or an epiphany and is commonly used not just in religious inspiration but commonly in language.
Of course as Alan Watts points out the perception of light is actually composed of bands of light and dark, demonstrating the Buddhist saying that the difference is the identity.

We have to remember that the patriarchy conquered and overthrew all references to the goddess, the physicality or suchness of things and replaced it with thought. We live in a world now dominated by thinking and excluding the importance of the physical and feeling. Religion now, at least organized religion eschews the physicality of things or nature as such. So light refers to thinking about nature and not experience of nature.
As such, prose has replaced poetry.
And religious myths have been interpreted literally as prose instead of metaphorically as poetry.

Remember that the female creates physical beings and the male can only create by thinking, and I think of the daytime as being male and the nighttime as being female.

At one time I had a great phobia of the dark and the night, but I have resolved this and now love the night such as described in this poem Antoine de Saint-Exupery:

Night the Beloved

Night, when words fade and things come alive.
When the destructive analysis of the day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again.
When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.

Astonishing, it's as if I see the light from a beautiful star in the firmament which shines upon me at this moment dazzling me a little but filling me with warmth and the extraordinary elation, the euphoria, that happens at the first breath, of a majestic glow, of a new tomorrow.

If the same were said of darkness, flesh, water, flowers and several hundred dozen other nouns, it would be a preposterous prevarication by the naysayers of this revelation of the incontrovertible nexus between god and light.

I much prefer the night to day coluber
Yes, much more calm, the light creates too many distractions.

Like laughoutloud said, that's where there are stars. It's like an open window where you can see so much farther, rather than having the blinds drawn by the sun.

Maybe this poem expresses it:

I was wedded to all the stars of the sky.
There was not a single star left,
and I married every one of them
with great spiritual pleasure.
Then I married the moon.

Ibn Arabi

There is something there, and I'm not sure what.

I think there's a strong connection between daytime and thought and ego defence. I think at night you don't have to think as much, which is meditation. Not that thinking is anti-meditation, just that identifying with your thoughts is anti-meditation. It's difficult to put your finger on, but that's where the Antoine de Saint-Exupery poem comes in, the poem that seems to express it so well.

I've always tried to come to grips with the Western world's anti-nature, anti-female, and anti-snake attitude-- the snake being an ancient female symbol of nature, the physical. I think they're all related and connected. They're all expressions of the same mindset underpinned by our anti-nature, patriarchal religious heritage. And it seems to be especially rampant in the United States for some reason, even with our widespread education system.

Re the anti female, I don't know if someone said it here, or even if I said it (I'm sure not me), but someone mentioned something like women must be very powerful if men have to put so much effort into trying to keep them down.

About the religious stuff, it occured to me the other day that angels are demoted gods.

We all know that the Virgin Mary is simply Gaia, or goddesses in general, that were pushed down into a more acceptable role, and with only one child, rather than mother to everything. So why not angels?

Yeah, I think the Virgin Mary is the only version of the Goddess that is left in Christianity. Certainly nothing comparable in protestantism that I can think of.

What about Magdalen? Some groups believe she was the real prophet, Jesus was just her mouthpiece.

I don't know about Mary Magdalene, that is, I don't know who she is. But the Virgin Mary is not a person she's a personification of the achievement of people realizing their spiritual nature, a spiritual, nonphysical rebirth, that is.

"We are all born as animals and live the life that animals live: we sleep, eat, reproduce, and fight. There is, however, another order of living, which the animals do not know, that of awe before the mystery of being ... that can be the root and branch of the spiritual sense of one’s days. That is the birth - the Virgin Birth - in the heart of a properly human, spiritual life."

Joseph Campbell

Really?

You don't know/never heard of Mary Magdalene?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Magdalene

Yeah, I've heard of her, but I don't know enough about her to comment. I wasn't raised as a Christian, but I'm familiar with a lot of the names and images.
