God alone is the light that enlightens everyone

 "God is the sun and the light of souls, the light that lights every man that comes into this world, and this is not an opinion new to our times. After Holy Scripture and the Church Fathers, who have always preferred Plato to Aristotle, I remember having previously noted that from the time of the Scholastics, several believed that God is the light of the soul and, in their way of speaking, the active intellect of the rational soul." - G.W. Leibniz, Discourse on Metaphysics and Other Essays, Page 30

The Bible says Christ is the light of every man in John 1. This is Epistemological, along with Hebrews 6.
