From Manly P. Hall - "The Universe According to Esoteric Philosophy" / by Dexter Wayne

Thus the Universe was populated with a race of giants. Space was inhabited by Gods over Gods. And all these mysterious sparks in the sky were far more than merely, simply, radiant centers of some magnetic energy or something of that nature. They were alive and they shown because the life in them shown through. Perhaps we would interpret this life merely as a fierce combustion but to these peoples this life was a proof of a great power, a great force and the light of Suns was nothing but the visible nimbus around the heads of invisible Gods.
