Stephen King to Release Sequel to The Shining

I don't know if you saw this, but Stephen King has annoucned a sequel to his great 1970s novel "The Shining." I am not a huge King fan, but absolutely love The Shining, and got quite a thrill from Pet Cemetary as well. The Shining, however, is definitely in my top 25 books of all-time, probably in the upper half, if I think about it.

Reason it is revelant here is the title of course, which indicates light. Basically, "The Shining," as decribed by Halloran (Morgan Freeman in the movie, I think, but I've only seen the movie once so I'm not that familiar with it) is basically the ability to read other people's thoughts. Dr. D, how does that jive with your perceptions/thoughts on light and life? Thanks man.
