Q. Some people talk about the Light that is seen at the moment of 
death and in near-death experiences. What is this? 

FRED ALAN WOLF. 
"From a scientific standpoint, it is difficult to say exactly what is 
going on. And the reason why we don't know is because we have no idea 
where the viewer is that sees this Light. As an example, right now, 
you have some sense of being present in your body looking out at the 
world. But according to what we know from physics, this is an 
illusion of perception: There is no place inside your body where 
"you" actually exist. You don't have a particular volume of space or 
spot that is "you." It is an illusion to think that everything 
outside that volume of space is "not you"--what you commonly say 
is "outside of you." The best description we can give for this sense 
of presence is that you "are everywhere." The main reason that you 
have more awareness of being in a body is simply because the sensory 
apparatus of the body commands a great deal of your attention and 
that much of your attention is linked to your physical senses. 
We have the illusion that our human bodies are solid, but they are 
over 99.99% empty space. 

If an atom is blown up to the size of an entire football stadium, the 
dense part of the atom would be comparable to the size of a single 
grain of rice placed on the 50 yard line. Now why is that important? 
Because in an atom, the nucleus accounts for 99.99% of all of the 
matter or mass. Atoms are mostly made of space. So although we 
experience ourselves as being these solid human bodies, it's more 
like "who we are" is an awareness or consciousness that lives in 
space."
