Back to AtD, the Transfiguration light in Macedonia

[Mark Kohut]

p. 963....."light so saturated with color, brought hovering to such tension, that it could not be borne for long, as if it were
dangerous to be out in country filled with such like like this, as if anyone beneath it were just about to be taken by it, if not over into death,
then some transformation at least as severe. Light like this must be received with judgment---too much, too constantly, would 
exhaust the soul. To move through it would be to struggle against time, the flow of the day, the arbitrarily assigned moment
of darkness."...Reef then wonders if this light is the residue of triggering the Interdict!!
 
Coming right after the Transfiguration stuff, anyone see a kind of philosphy of the creation of religious belief here?
