Ferdinand is being tested by Prospero after his other tests (loss of father and others in shipwreck; weakness). "My spirits, as in a dream, are all bound up. My father's loss, the weakness...,the wrack of all my friends...this man's threats to whom I am subdued [all] are light to me, might I but through my prison once a day behold this maid". Prospero(in this scene)could represent both the outward ruler (queen) and the inward ruler (his Fa/Mo God). BOTH REQUIRE THE SAME DEDICATION/LOVE AND BOTH OFFER SITUATIONS THAT TEST OUR ADEPTSHIP. WHEN WE ARE VICTORIOUS IN THIS ALL ENCOMPASSING LOVE, OUR TESTS ARE "LIGHT" (as in Ferdinand's case and love for Miranda). His lesser "spirits...are...bound" and THE TESTS "ARE LIGHT TO ME". To be so smitten, so joyous, so IN LOVE WITH OUR FATHER/MOTHER GOD THAT ALL OUR TESTS ARE "LIGHT TO ME" (weigh very little), this is MY GOAL IN LIFE; THEN ALL ELSE FALLS INTO PLACE!!

Re: David's discourse on August 22 and the master's question, "Is there fun in death?" I have to say that when we experience "death to our little self", as expressed also in the Bible in Romans 6, we experience a new joy, a new lease on life as "new creatures in Christ" (our Buddhic/Christic Self). This kind of "death" is a joy as we are passed "from death to life". Everything changes - even the quality of our humor. We see Prospero, in this play, gradually dying to his old life, his old mind, and embracing "the mind of Christ" (his Buddhic/Christic Self) by the end of the play.
