Eternal light Quote by Philo of Alexandria
““The Limit of Happiness Is the Presence of God But it is something great that Abraham asks, namely that God shall not pass by nor remove to a distance and leave his soul desolate and empty (Gen. 18:3). For the limit of happiness is the presence of God, which completely fills the whole soul with his whole incorporeal and eternal light.””
