I googled the phrase "emblematic of light" and was given a few urls that hint at a special Druidic initiation ritual, the inner experience result of which you appear to refer to as an explanation to my question. The ritual? "The aspirant first took an oath not to reveal the mysteries into which he was about to be initiated. He was then divested of his ordinary clothing and vested with a tri-coloured robe of white blue, and green, as emblematic of light, truth and hope. Over this was placed a white tunic. Both were made with full length openings in the front, and, before the ceremony of initiation began, the candidate had to throw open both tunic and robe, in order that the officiating priest might be assured that he was a male." http://www.phoenixmasonry.org/the_builder_1917_february.htm We could continue this chase where I fire off questions and you dodge them for quite some time yet. I think you've been (re)exposed enough for this time.
