The light of a Master Mason is but darkness visible - please elaborate
The light of a Master Mason represents a symbolic paradox, described in ritual as "darkness visible." In ritual recorded by Melrose Lodge No. 7034, working under the English Constitution, this light is depicted as not very bright and shaded by a mysterious veil which the eye of human reason cannot penetrate unless assisted by that light which is from above.

What is light
Light represents the transition from ignorance or darkness into knowledge, truth, and self-understanding. The Grand Lodge of India explains that light signifies knowledge of Freemasonry and self-knowledge, as well as moral truth, spiritual faith, and inner illumination that crown a purified understanding with wisdom. Historically, scholars treat the physical origin of material light as a symbol of intellectual and Masonic enlightenment. Mackey notes that the shock of enlightenment symbolically marks the birth of intellectual light and the dispersion of intellectual darkness, while the sun serves as a prominent emblem reminding the Mason of the intellectual light constantly sought after.

What is the symbolic meaning of light in Craft Masonry?
Light symbolically signifies intellectual, moral, and spiritual illumination rather than mere physical vision. The ceremony of initiation takes a candidate who is in a state of darkness and restores him to Light ( the Grand Lodge of India ). When the candidate's blindfold is removed upon the request for light, this moment represents enlightenment rather than physical sight ( the United Grand Lodge of England ).
