Elena Blavatsky , The secret doctrine

"THE ROOT OF LIFE WAS IN EVERY DROP OF THE OCEAN OF IMMORTALITY AND THE OCEAN WAS RADIANT LIGHT, WHICH WAS FIRE AND HEAT AND MOTION. DARKNESS VANISHED AND IT WAS NO MORE. IT DISAPPEARED IN ITS OWN ESSENCE, THE BODY OF FIRE AND WATER, OF FATHER AND MOTHER. LIGHT AND DARKNESS ARE IDENTICAL IN THEMSELVES, BEING ONLY DIVISIBLE IN HUMAN MIND. DARKNESS ADOPTED ILLUMINATION TO MAKE ITSELF VISIBLE. DARKNESS IS THE ROOT OF LIGHT. "
