The Experiment with Light is a movement within the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) that aims at putting our lives under the guidance of the Light. It started off in 1996 when Rex Ambler devised a guided meditation based on early Friends' writings that takes us step by step through a process of self-discovery that goes beyond our own preconceptions of self. Since then a number of different meditations have been developed by various people, and there are now approximately 100 Light Groups that use one or more of these meditations with participants sharing their experience with each other afterwards. The Experiment with Light remains a grass-roots movement with very little organisation, and this Web site is an attempt to facilitate communication between groups and individuals as well as to present the Experiment to those unfamiliar with it.
