Alchemy or the transformations of natural Light and reflected secondary light requires a conscious scientific knowledge of the properties of light before it can be applied as a primary metaphor in structuring a language that accurately defines first light then color then the word. Alchemy of light also refers to Jung’s theories on the psychological process of transmutation through conflict.
Light as Color evokes a contradictory state of sensual anticipation and symbiotic calm. The natural world reflected observed through light and primarily differentiated by color, serves as the primary inspiration for the scribes who constructed the first phonemes and morphemes to give meaning through metaphors for a language that is true to reflected reality. metaphor can only be constructed from the relationship between the light of physics and an inner light of the alchemist of light and color, light being pure consciousness.

‘Light is a presence that illuminates and transcends representation. Of all sensory experience, the immediacy and raw intensity of light bonds me to my subject in moments of intense being.’

‘Light creates the world. It is the more subtle than gossamer substance of everything – ourselves, mind, speech, and body, all beings, visible and invisible, all universes, nebulae, galaxies, stars, solar systems, molecules, atoms, subatomic energies, inconceivable quanta and qualia. Itself it is the solid, the liquid, the fire and the moving wind, and all the beyond as well.’

Bible verses make the Light synonymous with God, the Father, Truth and Love.
How the word Light illustrates and emphasizes, the abstract idea of Truth in the bible is brilliant. When light has the ability to play tricks on the eye, who can say that light and truth are synonymous. In Psalm 43:3, for example we see light and truth as inseparable. Ancient scribes used a system of phrasing where by fusing two words or elements of meaning together, they created an accomplished fact. The rest of us can argue that asserting the two concepts are one and the same does not make it a fact till the end of time. The trick was to fuse together a word that represents a material, real, physical, with a word that is abstract, transcendent or ideal. This fusing of the first word of god, light with the word truth, makes it a fact, for we have a fait accompli, something that has already occurred a "done deal". Light and truth are now one and the same. THE WORD IS THE LIGHT AND THE TRUTH.
A thing that shines gives light. A shining object reveals itself. Light cannot be hidden in darkness. When a light shines out, a person immediately sees it, and his eyes are attracted to it.
God's Word is presented as a light or a lamp, a light that illuminates the darkness. Light illuminates or reveals the truth.The symbolism of light or a lamp is used to show direction or instruction received as a result of understanding of God's Word. "Lamp" (NKJ) or "candle" (KJV) means any portable light, as a lamp, candle, or lantern. Jesusshows the disciples that He had enlightened them so that others might also see the light and benefit from it.
God's Word illuminates the path of our lives. If we keep God's Word shining along the way, we will not be easily deceived. Therefore, if we keep the light of God's truth shining brightly ahead of us, then we have a greater chance of avoiding deception.
God's Word lights the way to go, so that he does not trip or wander, so that he stays in the way.
LIGHT fused with LOVE
John says, "He who loves his brother abides in the light" (verse 10), implying that love produces its own illumination. Illumination is what enables a person to see in the dark. Light contrasts to the darkness, blindness, and ignorance. Illumination like love indicates understanding and the ability to produce solutions to relationship problems.
Matthew 5:13-15 says, if we are not "radiating with flavor"
In Christ's other metaphor, light illuminates what was once dark; it reveals things that were hidden. We should give everyone we meet the light of our loving concern, the light of our honesty, the light of joy and peace, the light of godly family relations, the light of good work habits, and all the other rays of light contained in God's way.
Since we know that the true light comes only from God, any variance in intensity must come from how we see or not see something. While verse 34 treats the extremes of how we view things, whether optimistically or pessimistically, many of God's people are somewhere in the middle, like the Laodiceans "neither cold nor hot" (Revelation 3:15). Christ's wish is that we are one or the other!
So whatever does not agree with the truth is false or unprofitable. Whatever is false will not lead to eternal life but to the second death—where we do not want to go! Once we see that "the light of truth" has illuminated something false,
Ephesians 5:8 Ephesians 5:8 says that converted persons are "light in the Lord" and should "walk as children of light." This light is revealed in all goodness, righteousness, and truth.
