The term '''Great Light''' (a.k.a. [[Blazing Star]], [[Central]]), is the [[Free Masonry|masonic]] term for the [[Fabric of Consciousness]]. It describes a relatively higher level of [[Consciousness]]<ref>See for example Lomas, 2010, p. 21</ref>. From the perspective of [[Bodily Consciousness]] the Great Light may refer to [[Resident Monadic Consciousness]] or the [[Fabric of Consciousness]]. From the perspective of [[Resident Monadic Consciousness]] it may refer to the [[Fabric of Consciousness]].

The ostensible goal of [[Free Masonry]] is to lead an individual, by "degrees" to [[Connection]] with the [[Great Light]]. According to Lomas, this connection brings with it special [[Powers]] or [[Siddhi]] as they are known in [[Hinduism]].

Of the [[Third Degree]] Lomas writes:

<blockquote>The Initiate's Sun is not just dawning as a glimmer of light on the mental horizon; it has risen to shine in their personal heaven. It is this mental state that confers the new dimension of consciousness...you learn to visualize the inner nature and moral conditions of others, to read their minds and thoughts as easily as you read a newspaper. Distance, stone walls, or other interventions are no obstacle to your enhanced perception. You can refocus your consciousness in a way incomprehensible to the uninitiated.<ref>Lomas, 2010, pp. 21.</ref></blockquote>
