Perhaps instead it would be a fruitful exercise in investigating the nature of matter, light, and consciousness, topics which are seldom, if ever, even mentioned or discussed in any of the usual Christian or secular chit-chat. Although the topic of consciousness with a lower case c (but not a capital C) is now a hot topic in some Western philosophical circles
These topics are examined in essays 16,17,18and 19 here:

It also seems to me that one of the most (perhaps) prophetic statements that T S Eliot made was in the small section of his 1922 poem The Wasteland title What the Thunder (Da) Said

It could also perhaps be said that Eliot's prophetic intuition had some congruence with William Butler Yeats famous 1919 poem The Second Coming re another Revelation being at hand
