ASTRAL DIVING 2: Geometric Visions at the Onset of Sleep and the Speed of Light
Everyone can see light patterns at the onset of sleep, as well as when waking up. This interim brainwave state reveals the shift from light perceived external to the eye to light generated by the eye. This is light generated by the visual cortex, or the light within the brain itself. In the morning we see our world bathed in sunlight, and we understand light as a form of radio wave, where radio essentially means to radiate. We understand that light has travelled from the sun at the speed of light. We refer to many phenomena in conjunction with the speed of light, the simple “c” at the heart of many mathematical equations, 299,792,458 meters per second.
We refer to photons as particle-like behavior of light. We call the particles quanta in that they are “quantifiable” and can be counted as singular phenomena. None of our light models really focus on light as it is processed by photoreceptors. And none at all focus on light as it is emitted by biolumiscent organisms. The latter we usually think of as issuing from fireflies or plankton. But what about the light of dreams or the pre-dream phenomena between wakefulness and sleep? Where does that light come from?
If light is emitted from the visual cortex during dreams or hypnagogic pre-dreams, is it also travelling at the speed of light?
Stay tuned…
