Conventional views hold that Light is a thing separate from Mind. I agree with Russell Light is not separate from Mind - it is Mind. There are seeming profound differences between Differentiated and Undifferentiated Light (of Mind). Differentiated Light is polar (polarized), active, energetic and results in these two categories of forces/states: http://www.svpvril.com/Cosmology/cos9.html#Polar_Table Undifferentiated Light is quiescent, pure potential, etc. In a sense it is the Void or God of some ancient philosophies. For a comprehensive discussion of these two states you could read Russell's "The Universal One", Book 1 - Chapter 03 - 'Mind, The One Universal Substance' Keely also saw Light as an attribute of Mind: "What does this activity represent, by which luminosity is induced in the high etheric realm? Does not the force following permeation by the Divine Will show that even this order of ether, this luminiferous region, is bounded by a greater region still beyond? - that is but the shore which borders the realm, from which the radiating forces of the Infinite emanate; the luminiferous being the intermediate which transfers the will force of the Almighty towards the neutral centers of all created things, animate and inanimate, visible and invisible; even down into the very depths of all molecular masses. The activity of the corpuscles, in all aggregations, represents the outflow of this celestial force, from the luminiferous track, towards all these molecular centers of neutrality, and reveals to us the connecting link between mind and matter." [Keely and His Discoveries Pg 270] |
