Very interesting subject!

It seems it would be correct to say that there are three phases of the light of Christ as pertains to mankind.

He later goes on to say that the light of Christ permeates all things. So certainly the light of Christ which permeates a rock, is at a different phase than any of the three listed phases, and the light of Christ that permeates a dog would be different also.

C.S. Lewis once opined that as man domesticates animals, he may in some way be saving them. In that as he trains a dog, it may gain some degree of understanding of right and wrong. So in a sense man can be a blessing to the animal kingdom.

The light of Christ as explained does indeed sound like the Force, or at least the light side of the Force. In martial arts this would also be referred to as the positive aspect of Chi or Ki.
