Yes. Which is why the shining light is not an experience in time..... ......experiences whether of a hissing tea kettle on an oven ...or of the watching the sense of I AM, ....being light-shoned objects. Conceptually that shining light(using your words) has been referred to as awareness-not-aware-of-itself. The entirety of this display of isness... ....whether in the manifest form or the non-manifest form.... ...including the sense of I AM...... just an array of light-shoned-objects.
