The Society of Light is devoted to the quiet awakening of the human soul to the eternal truths ordained by God from the foundation of the world; for man was not created to wander in darkness nor to live without purpose, but to advance, by love and obedience, toward the fullness of his divine calling. We affirm that the Light which proceeds from the Almighty is bestowed upon all who seek with humility, and that through faith in the Lord God, through reverence for His holy commandments, and through the sincere cultivation of virtue, the mind is clarified, the conscience refined, and the heart restored to harmony with the divine order. Our work is neither to compel belief nor to proclaim doctrine with noise, but to offer guidance to those who, sensing the insufficiency of appearances, desire to walk a higher path of understanding, wherein knowledge is tempered by wisdom, reason is illumined by faith, and the soul, gradually instructed, learns to reflect the love of God in thought, in word, and in deed.
