If you'll pardon me, what in the hell is "non-physical light?" Light is an attribute. The Absolute has no attributes. Light is an attempt by the mind to give an attribute to that which is attribute-less. This business of the universe being made up of light may be true. But The Absolute and the Universe are not synonymous. This is the same sort of intellectual game-playing as calling Brahman "The Ancient One" (though it is without time). It's a way to try to make the Absolute graspable by the thinking mind. Please pardon me, but it's a fool's game.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 1999 Report Share Posted July 9, 1999 Non-physical light is that which light is outside of our sensorily defined dimension. Light in the physical dimension is the expression of an event occuring outside our dimension which affects our dimension. At least, according to some theorists.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 1999 Report Share Posted July 9, 1999 Yes, most wavelengths of light energy in our physical sensorial universe would be nonvisible to us, but might be apprehended indirectly, by the evidence that occurs when observable things are affected. Then, there is the question of whether light, in our physical universe, can be considered the manifestation of an event occuring outside of our time/space dimensionality. This would be a way to understand why light, in and of itself, is timeless in our dimension, and is observed at a constant speed regardless of the speed of the observer. This is a question of theoretical interest, and as a layperson, it has only passing interest for me. My main interest in this theory is that it seems to open the door for the possibility of experiencing information in ways not normally assumed to be possible given the contraints of space-time as usually viewed. :-) Dan At 09:27 AM 7/9/99 -0500, you wrote: >"Debora A.
