Yes, absolutely.  But the problem is that in GR, the whiteness is entropy, 
death, non-being, not a good thing.  In Plotinus' light and that of the Ein 
Sof, the whiteness is God or of God or representative of God or some-such. 
 Surely, there is a profound difference.  Of course, if everything in GR 
were neatly corresponding to a compendium of standard concepts and symbols, 
we wouldn't have nearly the fun we do with our readings -- or maybe I'm 
just admitting my own ignorance.  Lord knows, I have plenty of that.
