Light consists of energy waves and particles with a wide range of vibrational frequencies, some perceivable by the physical visual sense and some not... like the auditory sense with sound.

Both light and sound are primal energy expressions that continuously create and recreate all forms in existence... animate, inanimate and subtle.

Wow ~ both ends of the spectrum this morning.

I don't know about defining it, but this video completely changed the way I think about light.

Hi Toolite,

Offering this, from SriChinmoyLibrary.com:

Question: What is Light?

Sri Chinmoy: Light is Delight. Again, Delight is God, God the Light. In one of our Upanishads it is said that all human beings come into the world from Delight. We grow in Delight, but we do not feel the Delight because we live on the surface of life. We live in ignorance; that is why we do not see and feel the inner Delight. We came from Delight. We grow in Delight. And at the end of our journey we enter into the effulgence of Delight, we retire into Delight.

This experience we get only when we meditate. When we meditate, we get inner peace, peace of mind. Delight is visible, palpable, tangible only when we have peace of mind. Unfortunately the modern, intellectual mind, the doubting mind, the sophisticated mind, does not care for this kind of Delight, which is nothing other than Light. The mind cries for outer information or it cries to achieve some partial truth. Again, while achieving the Truth, it negates the Truth. It doubts the Truth. The mind sees the Truth for five seconds, but just when it is about to achieve the Truth, it doubts the possibility, the reality of Truth. Then who is the loser? The Truth or the mind? Undoubtedly the mind.

If we live in the heart, then the heart gives us the message of identification. If we identify ourselves with Light, immediately we become Light. Inside the heart is the soul. So, if we can live even for a minute each day in our inner existence, then we can see Light in abundant measure. We can see it and we can feel it. When we feel this Light, we feel the possibility of growing into the effulgence of Light. The moment we see Light within us, the moment we see our inner Sun, which is infinitely brighter than the physical sun, we feel that the ignorance-night of millennia is gone. So let us try to go deep within and enter into the inner Sun, the cosmic Sun, that we all have. There we shall see that this Light, the infinite Light, is waiting for us and crying for us. It only needs our conscious acceptance and cooperation.

Thats pretty good. I like the delight.
Glory To God

The Light I know is the one that Illuminates Heaven. The one that shines to take you to Heaven. That Light that loves unconditionally. The Light that heals. The Light that connects us. Gods Creation.. Light.
Glory To God

There is the scientific definition of light as mentioned in an earlier post.

Then there is the light of this universe which is experienced as unconditional love by NDEs. Children, after an NDE, called it Father Light but other children experienced dark light which they called Mother Light and yet others experienced a fierce, raw light which they called God Light. Both Father and Mother Light come from God Light.

I have tried to find more information on God Light, also called primal light, but so far in vain. There is a lot on "Father Light" and on "Mother Light" (less info) which in my opinion is called the Void because the descriptions are similar.
