Chapter 20: The Light of Love



The angels of science are well aware that truth’s many layers must be peeled back gradually, as the human consciousness gains in its capacity for knowledge.  After Newton’s discovery of white light’s true nature, the angels allowed time for this knowledge to take root in the human consciousness before guiding other pioneering scientists to learn more about the nature of light. In 1800, the German musician and astronomer, Sir Frederick William Herschel, paid heed to the angelic instructions that drifted into his mind on the strains of his music and the light beams of the stars, as he was experimenting with prisms and thermometers.  If it had not been for the angels’ prodding, he never would have thought to place a thermometer just outside the visible spectrum of sunlight. His rational mind chastised him: “What a ridiculous idea, Frederick!” But his curiosity said, “Why not?”  Laughing at himself, he placed the thermometer just beyond the red light, and lo and behold, the temperature increased! So Frederick discovered infrared radiation: Light that cannot be seen with the human eye, and yet can be proved to exist.

                Once some of the mysteries of light had been unveiled, it was an easy matter for the angels to guide scientists to make further discoveries.  In 1801, Johann Wilhelm Ritter, a Polish scientist who had heard about Herschel’s discovery of infrared light, wondered if invisible light might exist beyond the violet end of the spectrum as well. The angels nudged him to consider experimenting with silver chloride, a chemical which turns black when exposed to sunlight. Johann directed sunlight through a glass prism to create a spectrum and placed silver chloride in each color. When he placed it in the area just beyond the violet end of the spectrum, where no visible light could be seen, the silver chloride deepened into the darkest black, proving that light existed beyond the scope of human vision on the upper end of the spectrum as well as the lower end. Johann’s eyes brimmed over with tears. The angels smiled at each other. Humanity was another step closer to learning the truth about light; that light pervades all of the universe, seen and unseen, because EVERYTHING is made of light!
            The angels of science were very busy during the nineteenth century as scientists were eager to learn everything they could about the properties of light. With some help from his angelic friends, the British physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, was able to demonstrate that visible light makes up a minute fraction of the whole electromagnetic spectrum.  Another scientist who contributed to our growing knowledge of light was Leon Foucault, a Frenchman who, in 1862, measured the speed of light to be 299,792.458 kilometers per second in a vacuum. 
                “And now the skeptics will know that we really do exist!” the angels rejoiced. Twelve-hundred years earlier the Angel Gabriel had told Mohammed to write in the Koran that angels travel in one day the same distance that the moon travels in a thousand lunar years. A thousand lunar years equal twelve-thousand lunar orbits or earth days . . . which turn out to be the same as the speed of light. “One day people will realize that they are made of light, just as Jesus told them they are. Then they will travel at the speed of light, too!”

The Human Light Body
             Throughout history, scientists have asked the same questions that truth seekers have asked since the beginning of time: “Where did we come from? Why are we here? How did the universe begin, and how will it end?” The spiritual seeker looks for answers by reading scripture, meditating, and praying. The scientist seeks answers in the laboratory, using telescopes, microscopes, and chemical formulas. Scientists require physical proof before they will accept the validity of a spiritual truth. Spiritual truths are explored and expressed in music, art, and allegory. They cannot always be defined in words or demonstrated in concrete ways. However, as humanity has matured and learned to grasp more abstract concepts, the angels of science have been able to convey deeper truths by steering scientific explorations in the right direction. And sometimes, a great man, such as Albert Einstein, has the ability to travel both paths, seeing the light through the lenses of science and of spirit. Albert wrote in The Merging of Spirit and Science:

“The most beautiful and most profound experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms - this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness.”

                During the twentieth century, the science muses worked with Einstein, as well as Monsignor Georges Lemaître, and Edwin Hubble, to introduce what has become known as the Big Bang Theory, providing a scientific explanation for the origin of the universe.  According to the Big Bang model, the universe started out as an extraordinarily hot, high energy density that exploded and expanded like fireworks. And what was this fiery ball of energy, but Love, in its most intense and concentrated form! It was pure Love growing denser and hotter and more jubilant until it just had to burst forth in a great cosmic orgasm that sent the stars dancing and spinning out into space. All this Love and Light has been expanding out into infinity ever since, and everything it has created is still made of the same Love and Light from which it all began.


                The writer of Genesis says that light was God’s first creation. In Greek mythology, Eros, the god of love, was the first divine being from which the rest of creation was brought forth.  The Australian Aborigines believed that the great Father of All Spirits was the only conscious being before the beginning of time, and the first being he awoke was the Sun Mother. It was then her job to awaken every living thing in the world.  The angels gave these stories to the people of ancient times to help them understand that the world was born of Love and Light. When humanity became more sophisticated, the angels decided we were ready for the Big Bang Theory. “The best part about this theory,” one angel said to another, “is that it demonstrates the oneness of creation, with everything originating from the same cause.” 

                Albert Einstein, who was the most highly revered scientist of the twentieth century, catapulted humanity’s ideas about space and time into a vast new realm of comprehension, largely because he was attuned to what he referred to as “the music of the spheres.” His intimate relationship with the muses of science opened his mind to the importance of understanding our oneness with the cosmos, as he expressed in these words:

“A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.”

How wonderful! The hosts of heaven sang the praises of Albert Einstein, for his work and his words opened doors and windows for many followers to pass through.  The angels have shown others that the liberation from self this scientist spoke of was the very same liberation Jesus spoke of when he said: “The truth shall set you free;“ and the same liberation from materialism that Buddhism teaches. The scientific truths set forth by Einstein and many more scientists following him serve as links of love in the expanding bridge between science and spiritual understanding, and Divine Love is well pleased.
