4. Vital Force of the Immanent God: This "Light of Christ"—which "fills the immensity of space," is also a vital, or life-giving force or spirit—"The Light which is in all things; which giveth life to all things."[A] "I am the light of the world," said Jesus, "he that followed me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."[B] "In him [the Christ] was life; and the life was the light of men."[C]
