The Power of Light to Make Change Happen
[Music]
there is a great power and light to make
change happen
my journey toward this discovery began
when i was a child
oftentimes when i had fever i would have
a similar experience
in which i would see myself in a slowly
falling drop of water
and in this drop of water i would see
myself in another drop of water
and this would continue recursively and
as a result my perception of space and
time would change
and all of a sudden it felt like i had
popped out of space and time
into this calm realm which was just
defined by peace
and i began to associate this realm with
light
it wasn’t till years later when i got
introduced to einstein’s theory of
relativity
and his description of the constant
speed of light
and how space and time can change based
on how close they approach that
speed that it occurred to me that i may
have been experiencing
this theory of relativity viscerally as
a child
so i got very interested in light and i
wanted to understand it
much more deeply some of the things that
i found were pretty astounding to me
one every single atom in the universe
whether
of animate matter or inanimate matter is
forged either in the light of the sun’s
or the math
of supernova in other words what we are
what everything is
deeply has light inside it
if i consider a small iota of space
around me
it’s packed with millions of photons and
these photons we know are carriers of
light
so these photons carry infinite amount
of information from the surrounding
environment
stream this through our eyes and
recreate in our brains and image of the
world in other words
the action of photons deeply grounds us
in one massive light based operating
system
even if we consider nutrition of all
living beings
we can trace it back to a simple process
called photosynthesis
which again depends on the light of the
sun
so it’s fair to say that without light
we wouldn’t exist
but even if we consider our current
environment
the infrastructure that exists
technologically is derived from
different wavelengths of what we call
the electromagnetic spectrum
which is another word for light so
whether technology is based on radio
waves or microwaves or infrared
or visible light or ultraviolet or
x-rays or gamma rays
these all derive from light and without
it our world
our current world wouldn’t be what it is
even if we extrapolate into the future
then it’s been said that quanta and
optics are going to be
instrumental in the future and both
these things quantum
optics are derivative from light and so
without light neither our past would
exist nor our current nor our future
and yet we barely consider light we
don’t have a conscious relationship with
it
the question is if this was reversed if
we began to develop a conscious
relationship with it
what kind of new technologies would
evolve as a result
and how would our lives be different
now one day many decades ago
i was experiencing a very difficult
relationship with somebody
and i was at my wit’s end about what to
do
i was in india at the time and i was
sitting under a big tree
and all of a sudden it occurred to me to
begin to see this person
in a sphere of light so i did that
for a few days and then almost by
miracle
she began to treat me entirely
differently now
i could call that a miracle or could see
miraculous but i believe
that i had actually tapped into a
fundamental technology of light
a repeatable process by which some
physical
circumstances had changed a result of
my imagining things in light
so armed with these experiences the
fractal experience of
the drop within a drop as a child and
now this multi-dimensionality of light
where imagination made something
physically changed
i really wanted to express or articulate
what i was perceiving as this power and
light so i began
a journey of articulating this and i
chose the medium of mathematics
because it appealed to me as a more
artistic way
to begin to capture what light is so i
wrote a series of 10 books
that belong to this cosmology of light
set
and basically in that framework what
occurred to me
is that light has a fundamental place
everything arises from light light’s
native state
is something where it travels infinitely
fast
and in that state
there’s infinite amount of information
and potential
and light can project itself at slower
speeds
and then through the device of quanta
some of that infinite potential can
materialize
where light projects itself at slower
speeds and we know that in our universe
light is scientifically known to travel
at a constant speed of 186 000 miles per
second
and to me that’s deliberate that’s an
intentionality
so that materialization can occur in a
certain way
but the point being that it’s all framed
the medium for this
is light so if we begin to
develop a different kind of relationship
with light if we understand
what light is more intimately my
proposal is that
we can change things much more easily
why do i say that
because light is fundamentally agnostic
to power
light doesn’t care where you come from
it doesn’t care what the color of your
skin is
it’s the most democratic instrument it
doesn’t care what your bank balance is
and if you can access it then you can
have the power to change things
just by visualizing light in a
particular kind of way
now i had accidentally tapped into this
process of seeing a person in a sphere
of light
and then something changed but what i
want to propose to you is that
when you get into any kind of difficult
situation going forward
just simply remember that and re-see
that situation
in real time or in retrospect or before
going into it
in a sphere of light and then the
information
feel that surrounds that circumstance
that connects you with that circumstance
will begin to change and
that situation is going to have a chance
to evolve differently
but don’t take my word for it try it try
it
on a couple of situations that are
similar and on one situation
experiment with seeing it in light in
another situation don’t
and begin to see how these situations
might evolve differently
and if you do i want to propose that in
fact
something of the power of light to make
change happen
might get revealed to you
