Ask a scientist what light is, and he will tell you it is a form of energy. If you ask again, "what is it?", he will explain that it has different wavelengths ranging from infra-red (invisible) to ultra-violet (invisible). Keep asking, and he will explain that they refract at different angles, and that colors absorb certain wavelengths to reflect colors, that white light is the sum of all wavelengths, that certain wavelengths can be isolated and amplified to create lasers with great energy. Keep asking what it is, and he will explain that sometimes it acts like particulate matter, but at others acts like waves. Yet all of these answers only explain the characteristics of light, and none of them explain what it is. Further, the scientist cannot give any assurance that man is even aware of all of the characteristics of light, only those that have been observed and studied to date.

WHAT IF..... light had many more properties that we aren't aware of???

WHAT IF..... visible light, whose characteristics are stated above, was only a tiny portion of light???

WHAT IF..... LIGHT IS ALL???

Let us try to stretch the imagination, and try to comprehend what LIGHT might be.

Imagine that all forms of energy are merely other forms of light, that electricity, radio, television, radar, x-rays, even sound, are forms of LIGHT with invisible wave-lengths, or higher or lower rates of vibration. Imagine that the highest rate of vibration is a form of LIGHT called LOVE, or THOUGHT, and the slowest rate of vibration was something called MATTER. All things in the universe would then be ONE THING, and LIGHT would be.... omnipresent.

Einstein's General Theory of Relativity gives scientific credence to this... E = MC² states that Energy (E) equals Mass (M) times the speed of light (C) squared. Science has "proved" this theory through the atomic bomb and nuclear fission. If E = MC², then M = E /C², for an equation must be true in all forms if it is true in any. Mass, or matter, is Energy DIVIDED BY the speed of light (C) squared.

Thus, if mass accelerated to the speed of light squared becomes energy, then energy SLOWED DOWN becomes mass, or matter. Science accepts some small part of this concept, agreeing that we live in a closed universe, that the sum of matter and energy in the universe is finite, and that it changes from one form to the other.

BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT.....YET!!! We can create a bomb of pure energy by speeding up matter, but we can't create matter out of energy by slowing it down, so we'd rather not look too closely at that concept. For if it is true (and it must be or we couldn't make bombs) then GOD could be true, and could CREATE the "heavens and the earth" out of the "void". In our imagining, let's pretend it is true, and further imagine what might have transpired.

Let's say that this thought energy, light energy, love energy, had a consciousness, that it was all-knowing MIND. Let's say this MIND had thought every thought there was to think, and thought "hmmmmm, I can't evolve any further, for there are no more thoughts to think. In order to evolve further, there would have to be 'independent' thought, thought that is not ME. But I AM all that is, so there couldn't be 'independent' thought without an 'independent' being. If I create a being, it would know it is a part of me, so it couldn't have 'independent' thought."

Still thinking, MIND thought "but if I could create a being that THOUGHT he was independent, then that being could develop independent thought. In actuality he would be expressing ME through his thinking, but he wouldn't know that. For my being to think he is independent, he would have to be in some place apart from me, which of course doesn't exist, for I am omnipresent. But, if I created a physical universe, and put my new being there, he could think he was a physical being, apart from me, and therefore 'independent'."

And so MIND (GOD?) created the heavens and the earth, and man in his image (imagination???). He did it by thought, by slowing down the energy that IS, and created a physical universe. And at that moment of creation, in the Garden of Eden, man knew who he was, the Son of God.

Though this seems to contradict the idea of an "independent" being, God also knew that Love must be choice, and so, at this moment of creation, He set the foundation for what would be man's choice. He told man that dominion over everything was his, that all that was good was his for the asking, but He cautioned man to stay away from the "fruit of the tree of knowledge, for when you eat thereof, you will surely die".

As Mind, man had all, knew all there was to know of Love, and Light. Man knew he was more than a body, that he was part of all that existed. But he also knew he was not "independent". And so, he ate of the fruit, and he gained knowledge of the material world, and was banished from the Garden of Eden (lost knowledge of Love).

And yet, this, too, was the Thought of God. Imagine, for a moment, that you are a hermit on a mountain, and you are lonely. One day you come upon a potential mate, a beautiful member of the opposite sex, who was abandoned in a plane crash at age two and miraculously brought up by animals, had never seen another human being. That person was so grateful, so enthralled with you, that you could take him or her to your cabin, and they would love you for the rest of your life. But would you want him/her that way? By default, because he/she had never seen another human being? Or would you want choice, to have him/her go out into the world, meet other men/women, and then come back to choose you?

Maybe God felt the same about us, and so created choice. He gave us the power to create, and gave us the knowledge to create our material world. We created things, and then we created our desire for those things. We created competition for those things, and separation from those that had the things we wanted. We created greed, and hatred. And from that we created conflict, and struggles, and crime, war, and famine, and all the ills of the world. We have created our world, and now we look at it, and shake our heads in shame and disgust.

And now, more and more of us are looking at our collective creation, and looking within and finding His real creation, and are choosing to come back home, to the real world, to LIGHT, to all that IS.
