A column of light is a cylindrical protective screen that surrounds you from all sides. white light, whose diameter is about three meters. This light flows from above downwards from God and your I AM THAT I AM, embracing your entire form and descending below the level of your feet.
As you read the Pillar of Light Decree, visualize in your mind a dazzling white light emanating from your I AM PRESENCE, a light that surpasses the brightness of the sun on freshly fallen snow and forms a wall of light impenetrable from all sides around you. Within this radiant Pillar of Light, you see yourself standing in PURPLE FLAME.
During the day, you can strengthen this spiritual protection by repeating the decree and visualizing the Pillar of Light.
This decree is recommended to be read in the morning. According to Saint Germain: “... the Pillar of Light has an invincible power. Strengthen it after being among the a large number people or in the world of trade. Restore this fire!"
The Pillar of Light protects you from destructive energies directed at you: anger, condemnation, hatred, jealousy, etc. If there is no such protection, then destructive energies can make you irritable or depressed, they can even provoke accidents. If you start the day with the command of the Pillar of Light, you will have protection even before any negative energy or attacked. It can be temporarily broken if you allow yourself the emotions of irritation and frustration. Therefore, the Pillar of Light decree is recommended to be read in the morning and throughout the day.
Instructions:
You can use this little decree to approach your I AM Presence and build powerful wall protection around you.
You must read "Pillar of Light" at least, three times at the start of each decree session.
Visualization:
Visualize a fiery, opaque, white pillar of spiritual energy, nine feet in diameter, emanating from your I AM Presence and surrounding you. The pillar blocks all negative energy directed at you. Inside the pillar, the violet flame surrounds you, freeing you from daily burdens.
I AM the Good Presence,

Pillars of light over lanterns.
If it's quiet in winter, frosty night you will go out to town square lit by lanterns, and if there are some favorable circumstances, which will be discussed a little later, then perhaps you will be lucky enough to be a witness to a rare spectacular spectacle: you will see a forest above the square luminous pillars. The light column stands strictly vertically above each lantern and goes far up. You can go around the lantern from all sides, the light pole will remain in its place.
M. Minnart's book "Light and Color in Nature" briefly talks about this phenomenon. It says that it is observed in Canada and in Russia and that the reason for it is the reflection of light by small ice particles suspended in the air. From this it is still quite a long way to a detailed explanation of the mechanism of the appearance of light pillars.
There is no doubt that small snowflakes or ice flakes in the atmosphere are involved in the creation of light pillars. Snowflakes and ice flakes illuminated by a lantern shine as if they themselves glow. But why is only the pole above the lantern glowing?
By doing a simple experiment, you will see that the appearance of the pillars is due to the stereo effect. You look at the lantern with your right eye closed, and instead of a pillar you see a vertical strip of sparkling snowflakes in the air between the eye and the lantern, but slightly higher than it. You see the same stripe when you look with your left eye closed - these are snowflakes sparkling in another area, namely in the one that is between the right eye and the lantern. Now let's open both eyes: two images, two sparkling strips merge, and you see a light pillar. Already above the lantern. We emphasize once again - this is a kind of optical illusion, you see two different luminous stripes, two different volumes of air with their sparkling particles - one in front of the right eye and the other in front of the left.
Now let's think: why are the sparkling stripes vertical and why do snowflakes sparkle only when they fall into a vertical plane passing through the eye and through the light source? Why are snowflakes not visible outside this plane?
Snowflakes are, as a rule, flat stars: in the center there is a small hexagon, six rays grow from its corners with branches parallel to the edges of the hexagon. Other branches grow from these branches, and as a result, the asterisk can take quite complex shapes. The process of crystallization of moisture comes from the center of the snowflake, and this allows us to understand which intermediate forms takes an asterisk.
AT initial stage ice particles stick to the corners of a regular hexagon and their chains from two adjacent corners grow towards each other. From such chains, a new, geometrically similar, larger hexagon grows, or, in other words, the initially formed hexagon grows.
But then a moment comes when the growing chains do not have time to meet, and new chains are already starting to grow at the corners. And then at the corners microscopic flat ice trees with twigs are obtained, parallel sides hexagon. Further on, new sticks grow on the rays, and the star becomes more and more complex.
If there is little moisture in the atmosphere, the process ends at a relatively early stage and small snowflakes in the form of hexagons and the simplest stars are born in the air. As we shall see later, this is one of the "certain favorable circumstances" necessary for the emergence of light pillars.
Now let's talk about how these tiny snowflakes behave when falling slowly in calm weather.
Strictly speaking, one should study falling snowflakes in real conditions, say, with the help of filming. But, assuming that the behavior of a snowflake is mainly determined by its shape, one can experiment with the model relatively large sizes. The author did such experiments together with the engineer A. A. Borodin, in the experiments models of snowflakes cut out of paper were used. The following results were obtained:
1. "Snowflakes" with two mutually perpendicular axes of symmetry autorotate. Autorotation in aerodynamics is the movement of a body, accompanied by rotation due to interaction with the atmosphere.
3. The greater the elongation of the "snowflake", or the ratio of the larger axis to the smaller one, the faster the rotation is with the same area.
4. Regular hexagons and six-pointed stars rotate around an axis connecting opposite angles and rays. This is how our paper "snowflakes" were autorotated.
The first drawing shows a lantern on a pole and an observer, and it is assumed that the plane of the drawing passes through the center of the luminous part of the lantern (for example, through the center of a ball of white frosted glass) and through the eye of the observer. There are four snowflakes in the same plane - 1, 2, 3, 4. Their axes of rotation are perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and the snowflakes themselves are shown as short dashes at the moment of their rotation, when the light from the lantern is reflected from the snowflake, as from a mirror , gets into the eye. The four snowflakes shown sparkle twice per revolution, or rather, a little more or less often, as they change their location when falling.
Points 1, 2, 3, 4 with strokes. This is the apparent position of the light points; they create the illusion of a light line. From the position of point 4, it can be seen that the light column may have a section below the lantern, unless it is too illuminated by the direct light of the lantern itself.
Falling and rotating, snowflakes send flashes of light into the eye until they leave the vertical plane "eye - lantern" or until their axis of rotation deviates from the perpendicular to this plane.
The speed of falling snowflakes is small, and angular velocity and hence the number of light bursts per second can be quite large.
The second figure schematically shows how the lamp and the left (l) and right (r) eyes of the observer are located in the plan, as well as several snowflakes that send light flashes towards the observer. For clarity, the diameter of the lantern, and hence the angles, are greatly exaggerated.
This is done in order to show more clearly that the snowflakes that the observer sees are located within certain angles. That is, the observer sees not lines, but luminous stripes, which ultimately create the illusion of light pillars. It is easy to figure out that the number of snowflakes that are between the lantern and the eye and the brilliance of which the observer sees will be the greater, the more anglesαl and αp. You can even calculate the proportion of these visible snowflakes in total number snowflakes falling to the ground in space, which is limited by vertical planes passing through the line, a-l and b-l (for the left eye) and c-p and d-p (for the right eye). This share is quite large, it is approximately equal to (αl + αp): 360.
Can also be counted relative number snowflakes that are outside the angles αl and αp, but nevertheless in a certain position direct the reflected light exactly into the eyes of the observer (the position of the autorotation axis of such a snowflake is marked with the number 5 in the second figure). Calculations show that beyond the angles αl and αp the probability of the existence of snowflakes in such a position is extremely small. That is why the observer sees bright light, reflected by autorotating snowflakes, only within relatively small angles αl and αp sees light pillars.

A spectacular optical phenomenon of vertical bands of light connecting the earth and sky often appears at sunset or sunrise, in calm, cold weather, with high humidity in the atmosphere. Long time it was considered a manifestation of a divine sign, but scientists have dispelled a fascinating supernatural myth. It turned out that the explanation for the amazing visual effect must be sought in ordinary ice crystals. They occur in cirrostratus clouds saturated with frozen water particles, but at low air temperatures, they appear closer to the earth's surface. A path of light among them can be lit by the Sun, Venus or the Moon, as well as more prosaic sources - street lamps, floodlights, car headlights.
How is a light column created?
The frozen water droplets that caused this spectacular phenomenon are flat hexagonal or columnar in shape. Light bounces off different faces - top, bottom, or end - so they mutual arrangement affects the appearance of the column. The play of light can even give rise to false "suns" or a parhelic circle - a noticeable areola around our star. Many reflections of rays merge in our perception into a circle above the horizon. The reason for all these phenomena is the same - the refraction of rays in the crystals of frozen water.
Often the source of illumination becomes not large-scale celestial object, such as the sun or moon, but a simple light bulb. Therefore, the diameter of the light pillars is similar to their size. In addition to this value, the optical phenomenon also inherits the color of the object that gave rise to it. Scientists have repeatedly noted that a low-lying light generator creates longer columns.
Ice needles are close relatives of light pillars.
The phenomenon, called ice needles, is shorter but numerous streaks of light. The nature and place of their appearance are similar to the appearance of pillars - low above the ground, small ice crystals soar in the frosty air, from which light is reflected. Ice needles are also considered an atmospheric phenomenon.
Features of observation
Light pillars can form around any light source: a lantern, the moon, a luminous showcase. AT northern regions and countries, such as Alaska, where from low temperatures ice crystals form in the air, an ordinary street light bulb can give off a unique glow, aptly named "Light Forest". Natural reflection from frozen water drops and light bulbs painted in red, blue, green tint, become the cause of the appearance of fantastic multi-colored columns proudly rushing into the sky.
Interesting and incredible facts from history and our days
By ancient legend a person who sees a pillar of light will gain untold wealth and happiness. After all, now he was chosen, and a divine sign appeared to him.
Some particularly skeptical observers do not see both mystical and natural root causes in the phenomenon, considering the light pillars to be the rays of ordinary searchlights.
With the rise of UFO stories and the rise of the ufology craze, the phenomenon has been linked to the long-awaited arrival space aliens. But if you happen to see a pillar of light, don't be alarmed! Is not alien ship is trying to draw another victim on board, and the ice particles are completely natural origin reflect the light of the moon, lantern or car headlights.
Light columns created by the Sun are often mistaken for mystical manifestations of divine light, and legends about the fiery swords of heavenly inhabitants arose, most likely due to the amazing natural phenomenon- when the setting or rising Luminary illuminates the cirrus clouds, and the solar pillar, as it were, binds them to the earth.
Light rays burst into the atmosphere of our planet at a speed exceeding 300 thousand km/s. Colliding with air, they often form unusual optical effects and illusions of incredible beauty, including light pillars, the thickness of which is equal to the diameter of the Sun or another light source that gave rise to them.
By themselves, light pillars are a fairly common variant of a halo (an optical phenomenon around a light source) - and people who first see such an interaction of ice crystals with the light of celestial bodies often have doubts about their natural origin, so strongly they resemble spotlight beams.
They are pillars of light in the sky, an absolutely vertical radiant column with an inexhaustible supply of energy, which stretches from the Sun or Moon to the Earth or, conversely, into the sky, during their sunrise or sunset in the sky (at this time they must be near the horizon). The observer, depending on his location, may well observe this phenomenon both above and below the star.
One more interesting feature light column is that it will necessarily be the same color as the source, the rays of which gave rise to it. For example, if the Sun is red - then red, orange - orange.
Most often, this phenomenon can be seen in winter at sub-zero temperatures (below -20 ° C), when great amount ice crystals that can reflect light rays. It is not uncommon for solar pillars to be seen even at higher temperatures (depending on other climatic conditions accompanying the event).
Education
We can observe this amazing phenomenon thanks to the play of light with ice crystals that form in the upper atmosphere - usually in cirrus (even in cirrostratus) clouds, which are located at a distance exceeding 8 thousand km above sea level. During the cold season, these crystals form somewhat lower, making the light columns much easier to notice, and besides, they take on a clearer shape during this period.
The light column appears as follows:
- The light of the Sun (Moon) bounces off falling flat hexagonal or columnar tiny ice crystals. Falling, hexagonal crystals take an absolutely flat, horizontal position. Pillar-shaped - on the contrary, they go down in standing rows. "Hanging" in a cold atmosphere, the crystals play the role of a prism, refracting and reflecting a beam of light.
- The light, reflected, visually expands and forms a lens floating in the air, from which a strong beam emerges - a solar column. The observer will see it amazing phenomenon only if the edge that reflects the light is turned towards his eye.
- Which crystals will create a light column will depend on where exactly at that moment the heavenly body will be. If it is at an angle of six degrees above the surface of the Earth, then the pillars of light will be formed by flat hexagonal crystals, but if the Sun (Moon) is at an angle of twenty degrees above sea level, a shining column will form columnar crystals.
A column of light often accompanies the parhelic circle in the form of a light band that goes around the entire sky at the same height as the heavenly body. If the observer is lucky, he will be able to see not only a shining column, but also a closed circle passing through the real Sun.
The phenomenon of artificial origin
The source of light for the occurrence of this phenomenon can be not only heavenly bodies, but also artificial devices (for example, searchlights, garden or city lights) located on earth's surface. The lower the light source is, the longer the beam will be - which is why artificial pillars often turn out to be longer than those formed with the help of natural luminaries.
Usually, ice crystals evaporate before reaching the earth's surface when the temperature is below zero, and flat falling ice crystals near the ground are transformed into some kind of ice fog, which is able to reflect ground lights, forming columns that are extremely similar to light pillars.
The most interesting phenomenon in nature, which is observed quite often, is the appearance of light pillars, as if connecting heaven and earth. Many peoples took their appearance for various omens - both good and ominous.Someone declared them a manifestation of divine favor, and someone - a threat of severe destruction, pestilence and hunger.
WHAT IS THIS PHENOMENON
Light pillars that appear in the sky are perfectly vertical, brightly shining columns, stretching from the sun (or moon) to the earth or from it to the luminary during sunset or sunrise, that is, when the light source is low, near the horizon. You can see them above or below the sun (moon), it all depends on the location of the observer. The color of the column is identical to the shade of the luminary at this moment: if it is yellow, then the phenomenon is the same.
Light (or solar) pillar (eng. Light pillar) - one of the most frequent species halo, a visual phenomenon, an optical effect that is a vertical strip of light stretching from the sun during its sunset or sunrise. The phenomenon is caused by hexagonal flat or columnar ice crystals with nearly horizontal parallel flat surfaces.
How do scientists interpret Light pillars - a very common variant of the halo - the so-called optical phenomenon that appears under certain conditions around a light source? When you first see this phenomenon, it is hard to believe in nature its origin - so clearly the resemblance to the beams of a searchlight.
In fact, the light of the sun (or moon) interacts with ice crystals formed in the layers of the atmosphere, which reflect it. Such an explanation is too simple, it characterizes the mechanism of the appearance of the phenomenon, but does not clarify the conditions under which the emergence of light pillars becomes possible. Let's figure out under what circumstances this phenomenon occurs and what it means.
PILLARS OF LIGHT: HOW AND WHY WE SEE THEM
Most often, such optical effects appear in the cold season. This is due to the fact that for the appearance of a column in the Earth's atmosphere, ice crystals must form, and the sun must be low enough. At low air temperatures in the atmosphere, many hexagonal ice crystals are formed that can reflect light rays.
But it is not uncommon for a similar effect to occur in the warmer season. This can occur at a time when cirrus clouds are observed in the sky - they also form columnar hexagonal ice crystals.
Solar or lunar rays, bursting into the atmosphere at a speed of over 300 thousand km per second, collide with ice crystals suspended in the air. It is this circumstance that is fundamental for the appearance of a halo. The play of light with these ice floes allows you to observe a stunning phenomenon that forms at an altitude of about 8 km. In frost, ice crystals form much lower, and thanks to this, the light pillars (the photo is presented in the article) have very clear contours and are visually perceived better. The spectacle is amazing - beautiful and exciting.
PILLAR FORMATION
Scientists trace several options for education optical effect depending on the shape of the crystals and the location of the light source. Light columns appear as follows: If the ice crystals have a flat hexagonal shape, then when they fall, they take a horizontal position, while the pillar-like ones fall in even standing rows. Hanging in the cold air, they act as a prism, refracting the light beam that hits them.
The reflected light forms a kind of lens that floats in the air and passes a powerful beam through itself. Which crystals are involved in creating such an effect (flat or columnar) depends on the location of the luminary at that moment. In a position at an angle of 6˚ to the surface of the earth, these are flat hexagons. If the sun is at an angle of 20˚, then the light column is formed by refraction in columnar crystals.
From the blogs: - ".. My grandmother told me that people saw pillars of light in the sky before the war. They went to the factory with their friends for the morning shift, and there was a crowd in front of the entrance. They ask what they don’t enter, and they show them to the sky. And there are wide, bright stripes in the dawn sky.
I don’t know if these pillars are like that or not…”
ARTIFICIAL PHENOMENON
So, cold and humidity are the main components in the emergence of favorable conditions for the formation of suspended ice crystals in the Earth's atmosphere, faceted on six sides. They can refract light from various sources- both from heavenly and street spotlights or car headlights. The light refracted in them gives a specific effect, which is a sharply defined bright strip perpendicular to the ground. Inhabitants northern cities are witnessing a rare phenomenon, the name of which is the light forest.
This happens because falling flat hexagonal crystals in winter do not evaporate on their way to the ground due to sub-zero temperatures, but turn into a kind of thick fog that can reflect the light of ground sources and form light pillars, very similar to natural ones. Such beams turn out to be much longer, since the light source is located lower.
THE DIFFERENCE FROM THE NORTHERN LIGHTS
The nature of these two optical phenomena different. auroras- flash product geomagnetic storms when the planet's magnetic field is perturbed by "gusts" solar wind. It is they who, invading the Earth's magnetosphere, make it glow like the kinescope of a television receiver does. Usually the northern lights appear as greenish-lilac flashes on large area vault of heaven.
JAPANESE POSTS
In Osaka, Japan, on August 21, immediately after lightning strikes and a severe thunderstorm began, some residents were shocked an unusual phenomenon, light poles. Photos taken from Twitter. One of the authors writes that he only wanted to photograph the lightning, but it turned out to photograph such a pillar that arose immediately after the lightning strike. He called this phenomenon "Strike from Laputa" (Laputa is a flying city in the clouds).
