Gabriel Marcel: "The less life is experienced as a captivity the less the soul will be able to see the shining of that veiled, mysterious light." Homo Viator, 32.
Placed on the flipside: The more a soul experiences its captivity, its limitations, and its darkness, the more it is likely to see the light.
A person in a lighted room barely notices a lit candle, but for a person in a dark room, the lit candle pierces.
