"You cover yourself with light as though it were a robe. You stretch out the heavens as though they were curtains."
Psalms 104:2.

"Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him."
Matthew 17:1-2.

"Not only shall they be unable to seize the perfected person, but they shall be unable (even) to see him. For if they see him, they will seize him. In no other manner will one be able to be begotten of Him in this grace, unless he is clothed in the Perfect Light and Perfect Light is upon him. [Thus clad], he shall go [forth from the world]."
Gospel of Philip.

Hymn of the Pearl from Nag Hammadi also contains a reference to the "Glorious Robe all-bespangled With sparkling splendor of colors". The hero of the story of the Hymn of the Pearl strips off the "filthy and unclean garments" he had worn in a foreign land and put back on his "glorious robe" upon returning to his father's house.

Man, made in the image and likeness of God, is three in one: physical body, garment of light, and a divine element that never leaves it's heavenly home. The term "garment of light" refers to the spiritual being residing within every human being. It is one's true self and survives death of the temporal body.
