Quite the contrary, it's when we truly become bright. We're letting our own light shine.

Spiritual wisdom is now available to everyone, disseminated to the masses as never before in world history. Finally, a few trips to the library, and we have a pretty good sense of what all the masters said. They all said the same things.
