Dealing with light

What is light? Since ancient times, intuitives, philosophers and scientists have tried to answer this question. Intuitives claim that light permeates every realm of existence and that “all that is” is made of light. Quantum physics also suggests that the foundation of all physical things is based on light. While on the surface it may seem that scientists and intuitives are on the same page, are they really talking about the same thing?

Light has been associated with life, creation and the divine since the beginning of time. Many ancient cultures gave the sun prominent status in their religious beliefs and mythology. Some who have experienced near-death episodes tell us that the abode of the consciousness that survives is the bodyinthe light. In modern times, quantum physics has become the most successful of all branches of science. At its core, it is based entirely on the study and definition of light and how it interacts with matter. In many ways, quantum physics has deified ordinary light as the basis of existence.

Interestingly, one of the conditions that continues to advance light research with the current scientific model of quantum physics is the language of the intuitive. Many believe that matter is light that has been slowed down to the point where it appears solid. The thought is light that has such a high frequency that it is undetectable by current physical instruments.

While scientists and intuitives use the same word to characterize the essence of everything, there can be a huge gap in context that ultimately defines the word light for each group. In science, light describes a wide range of massless, electromagnetic energies that are categorized and measured using a particle-force model. This model limits the movement of everything in the universe to the speed of light. Intuitives do not believe in the idea that thoughts or healing energy are tied to such regulation.

The EM, or electromagnetic, spectrum ranges from low-energy waves as long as a football field to the incredibly tiny, high-energy waves emitted by gamma-ray bursts. Current instrumentation can successfully measure all of these energies. This makes it difficult to understand how thought energy could simply have a higher, undetectable frequency, especially given that all EM frequencies from X-rays to gamma rays are known to be fatal to humans.

Perhaps the biggest difference in the context of the word light as used by scientists and intuitives is that all EM radiation is a byproduct of heat and vice versa. Source Light or Divine Light has no such state. Near-death experiencers and shamans who travel often report experiencing being enveloped by a radiant light much stronger than the sun, but it is not painful to remain there.

It is important to remember that most of what intuitives experience is indescribable. The only way to describe it is to relate it to something commonly known, and sometimes that's not possible. An example that comes to mind is okra. If you've ever tried it, you'd be hard-pressed to describe it to someone who hasn't. Okra only tastes like okra and you just have to experience it to fully understand it.

As long as intuitives use the word light to describe the structure and energy patterns of the invisible realms, science will continue to use the particle/force model to measure the electromagnetic spectrum, which is scientifically considered light. Since the dawn of humanity, light has been equated with the supernatural. It is unlikely that Intuitives will find a new name for what they consider to be the fundamental essence of everything. Science is unlikely to change its current pattern of inquiry until another plausible definition of light comes into play. Science may never be able to find the elusive particles that carry the information forces that intuitives allude to if they do not know what they are looking for or if they are looking in the wrong place. At this point there is simply no way to know whether the EM spectrum is the right place or not, simply because the investigation is far from exhausted.
