Because I have noticed that it is rather rare that someone actually attempts to answer the questions here... many appear to just tell us what they think about the topic rather than consider the question.
Anyone else noticed this?

Light
Lord Sri Krishna said in the Bhagavad-gita (13.34),
O son of Bharata, as the sun alone illuminates all this universe, so does the living entity, one within the body, illuminate the entire body by consciousness.
Purport to above verse by
A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
There are various theories regarding consciousness. Here in Bhagavad-gita the example of the sun and the sunshine is given. As the sun is situated in one place but is illuminating the whole universe, so a small particle of spirit soul, although situated in the heart of this body, is illuminating the whole body by consciousness. Thus consciousness is the proof of the presence of the soul, as sunshine or light is the proof of the presence of the sun. When the soul is present in the body, there is consciousness all over the body, and as soon as the soul has passed from the body there is no more consciousness. This can be easily understood by any intelligent man. Therefore consciousness is not a product of the combinations of matter. It is the symptom of the living entity. The consciousness of the living entity, although qualitatively one with the supreme consciousness, is not supreme, because the consciousness of one particular body does not share that of another body. But the Supersoul, which is situated in all bodies as the friend of the individual soul, is conscious of all bodies. That is the difference between supreme consciousness and individual consciousness.

When you say "light" I think of the dawn with the Sun just peaking over the horizon.
And yes I have noticed that many people just spout out feeling about the topic of a question instead of answering what the question is, but I guess that sadly it is human nature to make assumptions about things in the world.

All questions are riddled with assumptions so we have to agree on the assumptions before a question is given validity. Once the question is considered valid do we (I) attempt to answer it. To answer you first question: God.

OK, I'll play. Light! I think of Jesus. He is the Light of the world. This is truly what I think when you say Light. Had you said darkness, I would have answered Satan...

Me. Ha, ha. And then "truth". And yes I have noticed that now that you've mentioned it. I have probably done that myself. And for those that don't know, there is a light that shines in complete darkness and you are that light. Damn did I just do that? Thanks for all your wonder-full questions, Allman.
