Light (Latinlux; cf. also Greekλευκός leukós "light, white, shining"; derived from Indo-European: *leuk- "to shine, radiate, sparkle", from which the German word lohe "blaze, flame" also derives; Hebrewאוֹר or or aur, related to אוֹרָה aura) is the necessary real condition for us to be able to see external objects by means of our sense of sight. The place from which the light emanates is called the light source.

The light is just as little visible to the senses as the absolute darkness, which is polar opposite to the light. We only perceive the effects of light on objects - and these effects are the colours in which the outer sensual world shines for us (Lit.:GA 110, p. 33ff). That is why space, which is almost empty of air but illuminated by billions of stars, appears deep black to us.
