What is the light of understanding placed in us by God by which you know what to do?

Many would answer 'God's Holy Spirit' leading us to do His good works. (see Galatians 5:22-25; Ephesians 2:10 and 4:12; Philippians 2:13 and Colossians 1:29 to mention a few).
This (above) is correct for believers, but also unbelievers know what do because of their conscience. (Though I am not sure if we can say that is placed in us from God).
Two examples (of many) from the scriptures:
John 8:9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Romans 2:14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves,
Romans 2:15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them)

What is the meaning of the quote 'Deep within the self is the light of God'?
== == God has placed, His Son within each soul, this Light is the second coming of Christ. This is the Light that lights the nations. This site will expound much more on this and many other things: http://strongcity.info God sheds light "spiritual light" on individuals that are righteously disposed. This light gives the bearer knowledge and wisdom into the scriptures. You know you have this light if the scriptures make sense to you. For example, Books such as Revelation, Daniel, Hosea,Isaiah, Ezexial and others are difficult to understand, however, these become very clear to you if you have this "light". This light can also be shoned on a group. If a religion is not discussing these important books and/or don't know the meaning of these, then the light of God is not shining on them. Remember, God gives knowledge to those he wants to. Since we are living in the last days, God will pour out spiritual light to those that are preaching about him, his son Jesus and their coming kingdom, so that many will be saved and not destroyed, therefore, look for the organization that God is shining the light the brightest!

How does faith helps you discover god in your life and in the world?
If you have faith in God, then you know that there is a purpose for this world - and a purpose for your life in it. I think that the discovery of God in your life and in the world would be understanding your purpose 'down here'.

God from god light from light meaning?
If I understand your question correctly, God is the light of this world as is His Son Jesus Christ. From them comes all knowledge (Light) Precept upon precept, here a little there a little until we all come to an understanding of God and become partakers of his light. Alternatively, if you are referring to the phrase below from the Nicene creed And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father [the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father, God of God], Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; This is a statement of the divinity of Jesus, being of the same essence as God. It denies that Jesus was in any way made or created, even if that "creating" was done by God. Jesus proceeds from or streams forth from the Father, and has always existed.
