Trying to get a glow as two streams of CC Particle System II or Particle World particle cross

Question

Would anyone know how to get two particle streams to "glow" when the streams cross each other....like a "beads of light" effect? I have the CC System Particle II producers leaving a trail as it follows a light object, and would like to crossover to look like light particles are coalescing.

It's all just a fake. From applying a custom shape and fading it in well-timed to simply pre-composing your trails and using duplicates of the resulting layers to apply all sorts of effects such as blurs and glows this could be pretty much anything. Either way, there's nothing "smart" about it and you can do it however you see fit with the real core point being that you simply need a lot more layers treated with effects to create the illusion.
