\\u201cThey did not see each other, and no one rose from his place for three days, but for all the children of Israel there was light in their homes.\\u201d [Exodus 10:23]
The darkness was tangibly felt, so powerful that those seated couldn\\u2019t rise from their place. I wonder if this darkness was internal, a depression \\u2013 a dark feeling of the mind that there\\u2019s no reason to arise.
Perhaps the light the people of Israel found amidst the darkness was internal, a feeling of Divine connectivity that illuminated a purpose and meaning to the world around them.
\\u2018One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious.\\u2019 [Carl Jung]
