To say that one had “seen the light” is a poor description of the mental rapture which only the convert knows…. The new light seems to poor in from all directions across the skull; the whole universe falls into pattern like the stray pieces of a jigsaw puzzle assembled by magic at one stroke. There is now an answer to everyone question, doubts and conflicts are a matter of the tortured past…. Nothing henceforth can disturb the convert’s inner peace and serenity — except the occasional fear of losing faith again, and losing thereby what alone makes life worth living. And falling back into the outer darkness.
