What the holy, spiritual light really is

Most people would think that god's holy light within us would be something such as repenting our sins to Jesus and being saved. This is just to name one example which would be a fundamentalist Christian example. They would say that, without god's holy light within us, then our lives are truly empty and we are damned as sinners. This is not god's holy light we need in our lives. The holy, divine inner light would be our positive emotions. When we feel a profoundly beautiful positive emotion such as from listening to a moving song or being out in nature, we are experiencing the beauty and joy through these positive emotions. Positive emotions are the only way we can experience the joy, beauty, and good value in our lives. It is a light of pure joy, beauty, and goodness we would be experiencing. This experience is what makes our lives joyful, beautiful, good, and worth living for which means that positive emotions are the one and only things that make our lives joyful, beautiful, good, and worth living for. We need this holy light within our conscious being lest our lives be empty and "dead."

Without this holy inner light, we would be completely dead on the inside and that is what would make our lives completely dead. This means that, unfortunately, people who struggle with clinical depression and other mental illnesses that take away their positive emotions are living empty lives. They would either have very little good value in their lives if they only had a small amount of positive emotions or they would be living lives that are in complete darkness and emptiness if they had no positive emotions. This means that even those genius miserable artists who contributed to the world through their works of art were living empty lives regardless of how much they have helped others and contributed to the world. Many people are delusional and believe that their lives can be something beautiful and worth living for with no need for this holy inner light. This is false. Positive emotions are the inner light we need in our lives while negative emotions would be the inner darkness we should avoid. We should also avoid apathy as well since that would be a state of mind where our lives have neither good nor bad value. That is, just a blank, neutral life.

Lastly, if we do live in a spiritual universe where god, souls, and the afterlife exist, then our brains would be like receivers. They pick up on the divine, holy spiritual energy from the heavens. This spiritual energy is received by the brain and puts us into a divine, holy state of mind that is known as a positive emotional state whether that state be a feeling of excitement from the idea of going to the carnival, a feeling of happiness and enjoyment in doing our favorite hobbies, or feeling sexually aroused. This creates a beautiful, heavenly paradise for us here on Earth. But there are factors that can prevent our brains from receiving this holy spiritual energy we need which would be the factors I mentioned earlier such as clinical depression, brain damage to those areas of the brain, and many other factors. It would be like a radio not getting the signal. But if we live in a purely naturalistic universe where there is no god, souls, or afterlives, then positive emotions would be a secular equivalent to the holy inner light we need in our lives. That is, a metaphorical version of the holy inner light. In other words, positive emotions would still be the only things that can make our lives beautiful even in a purely naturalistic universe.
