This is a common thing I read around..."ignore visions...even the beautiful".
Yet, every moment is a sacrament...so why is there a need
to ignore the beautiful inner visions?
With respect, this was not how I was taught by my Guru.
He clearly would smile at many questions and basically say, "Enjoy"...
As in, whatever visions you see...as you say, no matter how beautiful , "Enjoy!".
I might ignore silly thoughts that pass by that create some silly emotion....but when I see Vistas
of Mountain Ranges, pastures and sunsets...I never ignore them...all of the Universe is within me...
Care to exchange some thoughts on this?
We may be coming from 2 diff schools of meditation teachings.
I do not debate...I would enjoy diff views on this, tho, with a brother meditator.

Well, one need not ignore the pretty lights so long as one keeps them in perspective and realizes that they are just that. All things are divine; all things are a part of the machinery of the universe. Both the objective and the subjective feed the work. I guess I'm just a stickler for warning against what can be called "mirages" in meditation. If they do not hold you up in your work or slow you down then they are fine. :)
