Becoming Light

Let us continue with Rob's questions:
I'm still pretty confused. See comments below:
Light as we understand it is vibration which is composed of many wavelengths. (JJ Quote)
I thought physical light, as we understood it, was traveling, vibrating photons? You could challenge that it doesn't tell me anything of substance about the nature of light. But I could say the same of your calling it merely "vibrations" and "wavelengths". I guess this doesn't matter much since science doesn't completely understand the nature of light either. But I have to ground some of what you're saying in science because I can't touch the ground where you're swimming.

JJ:
Actually, I do not see how anything I have written disagrees with any scientific discovery. As far as I can ascertain it is in harmony with known science. Now much of what I write gives a different view or aspect than theory and data presented by science, but this does not mean there is a contradiction.

Yes, light is thought to be made of photons in vibration, or some type of wave-like particle. They are still not sure what the photon is.

It is an unusual particle in that it has energy, but no mass. The question is, can it really be a particle when it has no mass?

To understand let us look in our world for a correspondence. Where do we find moving energy with no mass?

To duplicate this merely throw a stone into a body of water. When this is done a wave is created which moves through a medium (water).

The wave moving through the water has energy, but no mass, yet still has an effect upon mass.

Even so a photon merely represents the concentrated energy of a wave. It seems to be a particle, but is not a particle. It seems to act like a particle because it represents a point of concentrated energy.

Now a wave that we see or hear in physical reality moves through a medium such as water or air, but science tells us that the photon moves through the nothingness of space to reach the earth. This is one reason scientists are so eager to call light a particle (photon) because they can visualize a particle moving through empty space, but it is almost impossible to explain a wave moving through nothing.

Esoteric science has an explanation for this dilemma. It tells us that the early scientists were right in that space is made of a primordial substance through which a wave can be transmitted. The fact that science has not discovered this substance does not mean it does not exist.

The fact that photons in wave-like motion stimulate our vision only supports the principle of shadows. The apparently white light from the sun is made of seven main colors all created by differing wavelengths. If one or more of these colors are shaded out (shadow principle) then the light is no longer white but some other color and differentiation occurs and we have physical vision.

In order to have normal vision the cones within our eyes receive red, green and blue photons and send these colors to the brain. The retina which contains rods and cones is lined with pitch black pigment called melanin similar to the inside of a camera and the image is eventually reflected to the brain similar to the reception of an image by a computer chip in a digital camera.

Now it is easy to see why shadows aid with normal seeing. If you look around the room you are in you will see shadows everywhere which bring contrast which allows you to see form. Similarly, the very type you are now looking at is a shadow on the computer screen or paper.

"I can understand the shadows I see cast by my physical computer," you say, "but the words on the screen are not normal shadows."

True, but they are shadows nonetheless. Remember a shadow is "The rough image cast by an object blocking rays of illumination." Now look at the letter (X) in front of you now. How is it produced? It is created by the shadowing out of light to create black type and thus make seeing possible.

The same principle applies to colors other than black. All vision of form is caused by differentiation caused by our cones contrasting one color against another. Shadows are created by a contrast of various intensities of light.

What are colors?

Colors are various intensities of light. Blue, for instance has a greater vibration, or intensity, than red, thus making red a shadow light when contrasted with blue.

How then do we incorporate the shadow principle when we look directly at the sun or some other light? Where is the contrasting shadow here when we clearly see the sun?

Even in this case the rays of the sun are still broken down by the eyes into red green and blue. Then these three colors are shaded against one another by the brain and rearranged into brilliant light that seems to be one light, but is really seen by our eyes as three lights.

A color-blind person (because of defective cones) is only able to see two of the three colors and interpret them and this distorts his vision of all colors. If he were to only see one color then his cones would only send blackness to the brain. The cones would be useless because there would be no shadow effect. The bottom line is that all form and all light is created by the simple wavelength.

In one way of looking at it one could say that the bottom of the wavelength is a shadow of the upper wave and the second and third waves of a sequence are shadows of the first.

A shadow is a visible contrast that represents an initiating power or thought, but is not the image itself. The wavelength is not real, but represents that which is real and is thus the beginning of the shadow principle.

In the physical world we this see the effects of light caused by the contrasting of one wave against another, but we do not see the light itself.

To actually see light we must become the light.

Question:
What is the difference between seeing light as separate from ourselves and becoming light and seeing with that light?
