Re: [bn-study] Re: levitation and clear light

For those who might want to examine the nature of light further, the 
following is what I have understood was taught by HPB as well as all the Masters of 
occultism -- with a few additional comments related to modern and post modern 
science. 

This is only skimming the surface, however, and much more can be said about 
the field nature of light and its relationship to the subsequent "coadunate but 
not consubstantial" fields of phenomenal consciousness -- of which it (light) 
is the first expression or radiation of their overall substance or 
mass/energy/frequency spectrum on each plane or level -- as the fields of consciousness 
involve and descend fractally from the infinite to the infinitesimal... And, 
spread their zero point centers from one to many, 

Since this manifest light is objective, it exists separately from, but 
completely dependent upon the subjective awareness and will of pure consciousness or 
spirit -- which resides eternally in and is the fundamental nature of each 
zero-laya point itself; i.e., Light is simply the first expression of the 
"spinergy" or abstract motion surrounding this point on any level, field or plane of 
consciousness. We might call this abstract motion (spinergy) the root of 
"life force" surrounding the rootless root of pure consciousness -- having the 
potential of infinite awareness and infinite will -- which are the fundamental 
aspects of every zero-point of Absolute Space when expanded to phenomenal space 
-- whose "center is everywhere and its circumference nowhere." Each of us is 
one of those centers... As above, so below.

1. Light is the first expression of force-substance or energetic matter 
emanating from the zero or laya point on any plane of consciousness.

2. When light radiates from any point source in any of the seven fold fields 
of consciousness, it travels as expanding spherical waves of force (at the 
frequency phase order or energy spectrum of each particular field). 

Along each radial line of such light propagation, these "wave fronts," appear 
to be separate elements or individual particles (photons), one following the 
other... But actually, they are the expanding and contracting "monads" of that 
vibrating ray of light energy apparently going in and out of phenomenal 
existence at the frequency of its fundamental spectral energy/frequency level or 
color. (This also accounts for the wave nature of the "quantum particle" spoken 
of by reductive science.) 

The speed of this light depends on the medium it is traveling through or on 
(like waves on water) -- and its maximal velocity (C in our physical space-time 
continuum) in the "vacuum," is limited by the underlying "carrying " 
frequency phase order of the ether or astral field it travels on. 

This is analogous to the expanding circles of waves in water radiating from a 
point impact. If the speed of that expansion along with the size of the 
waves were to reach the speed and size of the molecular vibrations of the water, 
they would become absorbed by the water and apparently move no faster. 

Therefore, presumedly, this astral "carrier" field would have its own "light" 
speed -- Possibly C^2 -- which might account for Einstein's equation, E=MC^2 
- that describes the equivalency of mass and energy as they appear in our 
physical spacetime continuum. Such astral light would be the light we actually 
experience in the mind's eye... Since, the sidereal or physical electromagnetic 
light that reaches our retinas goes through electrochemical processes in the 
brain before it is transformed (on the astro-mental plane) to the "inner" light 
we are aware of and experience in our inner eye. Sometimes, this is called 
the "third eye" -- which is the zero-point of convergence of all the light 
rays we see inside our head as if they were projected outward on the objects of 
the surrounding world. 

Incidentally, science cannot accept this explanation of vision -- calling it 
"naive realism" since it depends on a duality between the subjective seer 
(homunculus) and the physical brain and sensory system. This is based on their 
assumption that there is no such duality, and that consciousness is caused 
solely by the brain's neurological complexity. Thus, they are forced to consider 
consciousness as an epiphenomena of the brain and equivalent to its neurological 
correlates. Such a view is completely opposite the theosophical view of 
consciousness (or spirit) -- as the fundamental subjective nature of the universe 
in partnership with objective matter (symbolized by the point within the 
circle).

3. "White" light is a combination of all possible colors. There is no such 
thing as "black" light (other than the ultraviolet light that's invisible to 
our senses) since the darkness of space is simply the absence of light -- yet 
at any point of such darkness there must still be invisible and directly 
immeasurable matter-energy of an equal and opposite polarity as well as negative 
force (which cosmologists may infer and speak of as "dark matter" based on their 
indirect observations and measurements on the material plane). This dark 
matter could be simply the "anti matter" postulated by the physicists -- whose 
radiant light energy of is of an opposite polarity, phase or chirality (mirror 
image or opposite spin) and thus invisible to us. Such an opposite force would be 
necessary to maintain the balance of the overall forces in the universe. 
This complies with HPB's statement that gravity (the mother of all manifest 
forces) is a dual force of both attraction and repulsion, centrifugal and 
centripetal. Their periodic reversal and dominance, one over the other, would also 
conform to the theosophical principle of fundament cyclic laws of periodicity, and 
account for the alternating expansions and contractions of the universe and 
its manvantaras and pralayas (cyclic periods of awakenings and sleepings). 

3. Not only does this primal or Akashic "light" initially emanate in its most 
subtle and highest frequency/energy directly from the Absolute (the mother of 
all subsequent fields of consciousness as they descend through matter on each 
plane, like bubbles within bubbles within bubbles -- See**) -- but its 
individual rays (post modern science now sees them as "strings") can also carry 
information as a result of modulated interference patterns of holographic images 
overlaid or impressed on their much higher frequency/energy sinuous vibrational 
(or cyclic) waves. This "informational" encoding is carried by light in the 
"belly" (so to speak -- see***) of its triune monadic field structure -- thus 
carrying the "signature" of its source coupled with all the "wisdom" contained 
in it. A physical analogy is the modulation of radio waves (a lower 
frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum than light) that carries even lower 
frequency modulated information that can be transformed into analogous light 
images on television or computer screens. 

4: Therefore, this Astral or Akashic light, as the carrier of information 
consisting of fundamental ideas held in akashic memory that we sometimes 
experience as the "light of inspiration" or the "light of intuition." Such intuition 
is the result of directly grasping the fundamental or unadulterated ideation's 
of the primal source on the highest Buddhi-Atma plane of consciousness -- 
before such information is distorted by the thought interference's induced by us 
on the lower mental planes (where our conditioned [and often wrong] memories 
are stored). Thus, such truths can be grasped most easily when we are in a 
state of quiet meditation along with focussed concentration though an act of will 
-- whether consciously or unconsciously (as a sudden flash of inspiration out 
of the blue, so to speak).
