The Light of Christ has both natural and redemptive functions. *Elder Parley P. Pratt explained: “It is, in its less refined existence, the physical light that reflects from the sun, moon, and stars, and other substances, and, by reflection on the eye, makes visible the truths of the outward world. It is also in its higher degrees the intellectual light of our inward and spiritual organs, by which we reason, discern, judge, compare, comprehend, and remember the subjects within our reach. Its inspiration constitutes instinct in animal life, reason in man, and vision in the prophets, and is continually flowing from the Godhead throughout all his creations”. The Holy Ghost is a male personage of spirit and, like the Father, can be in only one place at a time. He draws upon the Light of Christ to communicate sacred truths and to dispense spiritual gifts to myriad beings separated in time and space.
