try to adjust glow around, so its stronger and then you canot see the geometry its based on.
Maybe try add another "layer"to the effect with glow with smaller radius, but much stronger.

i'm glad it helped.
if you want to do it even better, try to adjust a little bit more the glows.
but definitely the geometry itself is little bit "non physical" for example i'm talking about bottom rght corner. it's too messy there.
If you can, try to compare lightning to a tree: it have strong base line and then goes little ones, but they all goes to some direction for some reason. In lightnig its like that too, even if it looks randomly.
try googleimage: lightning
it will give you the impression im talking about (and i dont think it should straigt down ofcoarse... im just talking about branching)
