Was it an hour, or a week before the light of the moon rose in the interior of my body? A bird with luminous wings flew in front of that full moon, and its head was as radiant as a point of light.

Yes, the Khu was a light in your mind while you lived, but in death, it must return to heaven. For the Khu was also eternal.
