The Vibrating Revolving wheel of Light

[Guest guest]

Of course, you are familiar with vibrations, you

feel them all the time: the vibrations of sound,

jackhammers, of massaging devices big and

public such as reclining chairs, or private and

small as those that comfort inveterate aching

solitude.

 

You are, also, familiar with more subtle vibrations

such as those of the electromagnetic spectrum. Often,

that spectrum is pictured as a band, and roughly about

its middle are the vibrations of visible light, but the

band depiction doesn't do justice to the chameleon

nature of light. A revolving wheel would capture

better the constant mutability of light. Old vibrations

never died, they just fade away.

 

As you know, the original vibrations of the Big Bang

are still around as radio waves. Of course, like me,

they have aged a lot, and now they are just pervasive

background noise, much as this post is.. You can still

hear them though, if you want, and have a TV with an

antenna. The crackling sound you hear in an unused

channel is the sound of the Big Bang.

 

Amazing! Is it not? The primal Om, the Creator's voice

can be heard on your old TV set! Once, that all mighty

voice was a roar of plasma. Now, it's a faded whisper

of radio waves. But, maybe, it's better if you don't

listen to that ancient chanting of Om. By now, it's

just a hissing sound, as prosaic as dropping an

egg in boiling oil, and just as dangerous to illusion.

In my youth, I was ignorant and rash enough to drop

an egg in boiling oil, dressed only in my jock

shorts. Wow! does that hurt!

 

On the bright side, think how vibration ever changes

and ever remains the same. How by changing it

becomes conscious of itself, at least for a while. Light

enters your eye, and travels up your optic nerve as

electrons. On reaching your brain's visual center, it

changes again. Into what? neurotransmitters, an

electric field? Consciousness? We're not sure yet

how vibrations turn into awareness, but it does, and

that is the vibrating wheel of light.

 

Furthermore, physical light, in a brain, can change

into mystical light, disclosing an all inclusive lightness

of being beyond space and time.
