| Summary | "The Light Invisible" by Robert Hugh Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of spiritual perception and insight, as conveyed through the experiences of its main character, a priest, who reflects on his mystical and profound encounters with the divine. The narrative focuses on the interconnection between the material and spiritual realms, hinted at by the contemplative nature of the priest and his musings on faith, life, and the unseen presence of God. At the start of the novel, the story introduces us to an old priest who is engaged in deep reflections about spiritual perception. He converses with a younger companion in his garden, sharing personal experiences of visions he has had that reveal both beauty and truth in the world around him. He describes how divine reality sometimes breaks into his senses, allowing him to perceive spiritual truths as vividly as the physical world. Through his recollections, he illustrates the inner struggles and understandings that shape his faith, as well as the juxtaposition of earthly experiences with transcendent encounters, setting the stage for a journey into the complexities of belief and revelation.
