Jesus began to pray and the disciples tried to stay awake, but their eyes grew heavier and heavier and finally they all fell asleep. When they awakened, they looked over at Jesus and saw something inexplicable happening. Jesus was changing before their eyes, beginning with His face. It seemed to glow. The glow spread, and even His clothing took on a blinding whiteness. Then, two figures appeared in the glorious radiance emanating from Jesus. The three disciples somehow knew that these figures were Moses and Elijah. Peter, James, and John overheard the conversation that took place among Jesus, Moses, and Elijah — a conversation that entered on Jesus’ “departure” and how He would accomplish this departure from the capital city, Jerusalem.

“Reaching For The Light”
The O-So-Elusive
Light … p 87
That we may quell the disquiet within, consciously and unconsciously, we are ever “reaching for the light;” that all-knowing Light which reveals an understanding of who we are and of our purpose in life. The irony is that this o-so-elusive Light is ever-present in our inner self — our true Spiritual Being. We find the Light — and with it ourself — by being honest: by suppressing our ego and in turn embracing those few simple moral tenets of Humility, Unselfishness and Truthfulness.
