Page 15. We are all creatures of lights. Sunlight bonds, carbon dioxide, and water to create sugar, the essential fuel that powers organic systems. When humans and animals consume plants, that bond is dissolved once again, dividing sugar into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then eliminated via the lungs, and the water by perspiration and urination, leaving only light within the organism. In essence, we live on the sunlight. When we eat, we literally ingest, frozen light, use it, and what remains is it’s formless essence… Light.

Age 19. 98% of the sun‘s light enters the body through the eyes, and the other 2% enters by way of the skin. Light is the primal nourishment for life. The body is a biological light receptor, the eyes are transparent, biological windows designed to receive and light, and all physiological functions are light dependent. Routine exposure to sunlight reduces, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, blood, pressure, and blood sugar, while increasing energy, strength, endurance, stress tolerance, and the ability of the blood to absorb and carry oxygen. The intelligence of life summons us through light, guiding and illuminating our entire life‘s journey. Light and life are inseparable.

Age 26. The pupil is the bodies, most sensitive barometer of activity in the autonomic nervous system, responding as much to light entering the eyes as it does to light exiting the eyes. Pupilary changes occur without our knowledge, and reveal our deepest feelings. The pupils cannot lie because we have no conscious control over them. This is why a professional poker players frequently wear sunglasses while playing; they do not want to reveal how they feel about their cards. When we are deeply involved in speaking and listening to each other, our pupillary dilations synchronize as if our two minds become one. Light emanate from the eyes, rendering sight as much a projective process as a receptive one.

Age 66. Quantum physics gives us a glimpse of how the mind transforms a field of infinite possibilities into what appears to be distinct forms. The observer within us is the conscious mind whose point of view is a network of well, defined ideas, beliefs, and memories about what we have established as reality. According to its condition concepts. The conscious mind projects definition and meaning onto a formless environment, limiting its infinite possibilities into a subset that we call reality. In this way, you can say that the mind, trans one’s light the formless, into matter and assign meaning to that matter as a result, the mind makes matter any collection of atoms and molecules matter, or have significance.

As long as we continue to strictly view our experiences through the lens of the conscious mind, we remain locked in a circuit of duality. By judging our experiences as good or bad, right or wrong, black or white, we become in meshed in our illusion of being separate from what we experienced out there. The Talmud states, we do not see things as they are, we see them as we are. How we see ourselves is how we see the world. There is no experience without an experience, sir. At the quantum level, nothing exists without an observer, for their simply is no reality independent of consciousness. So what is consciousness? ...more "
