As human beings we are all seekers. The quest to reconcile the thoughts generated from our minds with the impulses generated from our hearts presents an ongoing challenge - and ostensibly between these two poles lies the energetic force we often define as "the spirit."
The drive to embrace a higher purpose and explore what makes our lives feel meaningful can be fed by turning to the shared wisdom, both ancient and contemporary, of the many writers, thinkers, philosophers, theologians, seers, healers, and more who have trodden this path before us, enhancing and expanding our journey along the way. But with such an abundant range of content available online (of arguably varying quality) and without the resources to necessarily make informed decisions, it can prove daunting - even paralysing - to navigate, sift through and distill the choices at hand. Our mission is to help light the way. To offer signposts that inspire and encourage readers to find what they are looking for, and hopefully open relevant and perhaps unforeseen doors in the process. Having surveyed a vast range of texts within this space across numerous genres, The Library of Light attempts to identify and purposefully curate what we deem to be the most edifying and eloquent texts within the "umbrella" of spiritual literature, including but not limited to the following categories: Self-Help, Science, Divinity, Philosophy, Mythology, Esotericism/Theosophy, Folklore, Fiction, Explorations in Consciousness, Reincarnation, Energy Healing, Poetry, Children's literature, as well as experiential handbooks/manuals offering practical information on "applied" spirituality such as yoga and meditation. All on an entirely free and not-for-profit basis. We make no academic or religious claims in our endeavours, and while thoroughly researched and professionally evaluated, our targeted recommendations are governed by heart over mind. Our intended objective is to further expand the dialogue surrounding these nuanced subjects in a way that is elastic and continues to evolve organically over time as we continue to dig deeper and to hopefully receive feedback from our users.
Ultimately, The Library of Light is about asking the questions - rather than purporting to provide answers. To help guide our collective search for inspiration, solace, perspective, wisdom, comfort, truth and/or enlightenment in whatever form that takes. And insofar as reading remains a deeply subjective and intimate exercise, the website will be designed in a way that is both prescriptive and bespoke. The website also aims to eventually feed directly into the 3D platform of LightEn's larger educational goals, amplified via additional formats including podcasts, lectures, video content, audio content and more.
