Embodying Light: The Evolution of Consciousness by luckman

Everything is energy. Einstein definitively established this with his famous theorem E=MC2, which proved the interchangeability of matter and energy. Concerning matter, Einstein once remarked, "we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. There is no matter." Arguably, this truth that has now been validated by the quantum sciences was known to the ancient Hindus when they employed the term maya, meaning the illusion often mistaken for reality. Energy (including "matter") is simply consciousness, and vice versa.

The notion that everything is energy or consciousness directly applies to human biology. The old materialistic view of the body as a machine that may run on energy but is somehow separate from it is fast giving way to undeniable evidence that we, too, are manifestations of conscious energy. The holographic model views the so-called physical universe in terms of intersecting electromagnetic frequencies that, in effect, project the staggering illusions we think of as the world … and ourselves.

In one of the classics in the field of energy healing, Vibrational Medicine, Dr. Richard Gerber concludes that matter, including human cells, is actually "frozen light." Leading health researcher Dr. Leonard Horowitz reaches precisely the same conclusion, bluntly stating in DNA: Pirates of the Sacred Spiral that humans are "crystallized or precipitated light." This assertion is consistent not only with the holographic model and recent Russian research in "torsion" energy, but with the findings of more mainstream quantum physics, which has demonstrated that light (much like DNA) is capable of both carrying and remembering data.

The notion of light as information, or "light in formation," is an old one that has for centuries found expression in various types of sacred geometry. Others have suggested that angels, often depicted as divine messengers, are really angles or rays of light that convey information (typically experienced as "inspiration") from a celestial source. This expanded conception of light as a form of consciousness underpins, for example, the Toltec worldview of Don Miguel Ruiz, medical doctor, shaman and bestselling author of The Four Agreements.

New neurological research indicates that humans' tremendous brainpower, even operating at below ten percent of our capacity, results not just from biochemistry but from the brain's impressive ability to function as a holographic data storage and retrieval system (a "hard-drive") that employs different light angles to read information ("software"). This implies that the brain is a sophisticated holographic bio-computer that operates through electromagnetic frequencies. Not surprisingly, DNA has been shown to function very similarly. Human biology may thus be considered electromagnetic in nature. As Dr. Deepak Chopra has observed, human cells, far from being merely functional vessels, are in actuality electromagnetic fields of possibility and potential.

Human electromagnetic frequencies can be clearly seen in the aura. It is now generally agreed that humans possess a detectable aura. Kirlian photography has captured this iridescent halo around the body for decades; and recently, Dr. Valerie Hunt, UCLA professor and author of Infinite Mind: Science of the Human Vibrations of Consciousness, has even measured the human aura with an EEG machine. Early in the 20th Century, it was theorized that the aura is composed of various electromagnetic frequency bands known as auric fields, and that each of these fields governs distinct aspects of human biology, psychology, and spirituality.

Each electromagnetic field also corresponds to, and interfaces with, a specific dimension. The third field, for example, is keyed to the third dimension. The electromagnetic fields might be thought of as a geometric matrix, a "Jacob's ladder" that allows access to increasingly subtle frequency domains. This unfolding of perception to the full range represented by the auric fields and corresponding chakras is what it means to become "multidimensional."

According to Gregg Braden in The God Code, the ancient Hebrew four-letter name for God is actually code for DNA based on the genetic code's chemical composition. "Applying this discovery to the language of life," writes Braden, "the familiar elements of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon that form our DNA may now be replaced with key letters … In so doing, the code of life is transformed into the words of a timeless message [that] reads: 'God/Eternal within the body.'" If God is indeed in the body--and consciousness and physiology are, from an evolutionary perspective, linked--we must acknowledge that divine consciousness is available in and through physicality.

One intriguing aspect of DNA is that most people utilize only about ten--some say as little as three--percent of it. The other ninety percent or more has been dismissed by mainstream science as "junk." Interestingly, the fact that we use at best ten percent of our DNA correlates to the fact that we use at most ten percent of our brain. Still more provocative is that, according to one of the latest scientific models, String theory, less than ten percent of the matter in the universe is visible. The other ninety percent or so is sometimes called "dark matter" and may very well reside in other dimensions.

Could "junk" DNA have biologically transformative potential awaiting activation? Could it somehow activate the unused portion of our brains? Could this brain activation succeed in opening our godlike perceptual faculties, allowing us to climb the "multidimensional ladder" of our electromagnetic fields and experience the invisible ninety percent of the universe? Following the time-honored wisdom of "As above, so below," could the fact that these perceptual faculties are indeed emerging in many people, especially today's extraordinarily gifted children, have anything to do with an increase in superluminal light emanating from Galactic Center?

Many believe the answer to all these questions is an emphatic yes. According to author William Henry, physicists "have established that a vast cosmic ocean of quintessence … invisible to our telescopes … surrounds the visible galaxies. If they are right, this 'dark matter' … that composes [what] we … see 'out there' is also 'in here' … This implies that 9/10 of ourselves is also unknown."

Braden, who began his career as a geological scientist, was one of the first from the scientific community to theorize, based largely on observable Earth changes, that our planet is experiencing a frequency increase itself that will ultimately activate the dormant potential of our DNA. As detailed in Awakening to Zero Point, this evolutionary activation, or "Collective Initiation," possibly relates to Earth's harmonic frequency, known as the Schumann resonance. Although this is a scientifically controversial subject and has yet to be adequately substantiated, a number of researchers still believe that some, possibly higher-dimensional aspect of Earth's resonance is increasing. Perhaps new data will facilitate our collective understanding.

Braden argues that Earth's hypothetical frequency increase, possibly linked to denser or brighter "light information" stemming from increased celestial activity, will result in new combinations of amino acids--in essence, new DNA. From a genetics perspective, this is tantamount to saying that a new life-form is emerging out of the human species. This is not nearly as odd as it may at first sound, given DNA's spectacular capacity for adaptive learning. Recently, the phrase "quantum biology" has appeared in response (in some cases) to allegedly suppressed evidence suggesting that a third strand of DNA is currently activating in humans, forming what may be a "triple helix." I believe the creation of a third strand of DNA is a reality; however, even as a metaphor for evolving the latent intelligence of our existing DNA, the notion of a third helix has a certain conceptual value.

On the subject of the emergence of a new genotype of human, Judith Bluestone Polich writes in Return of the Children of Light that the "codes to awakening our ancestral endowment--namely, our inner light--may lie hidden within the structure of our DNA." As we individually "begin to remember who we are, a new consciousness will emerge. [As] soon as this revisioning reaches a critical mass, it will trigger an evolutionary leap to a new human species--the long-awaited, quantumly endowed spiritual human known to ancient cultures as the child of light."

All living beings emit light. Anticipating the latest Russian research in "wave-genetics," in the 1920s another Russian scientist, Alexander Gurvich, pioneered the concept of light frequency signaling via "mitogenic rays" in human cells. At about the same time in Germany, Marco Bischof published an influential text entitled Biophotons: The Light in Our Cells. By 1974 German scientist Fritz Albert Popp's biophoton theory had confirmed the basic mitogenic hypothesis, demonstrating that DNA is the source of bioluminescence. Popp's theory, in turn, was confirmed by Herbert Froehlich and Nobel laureate Ilya Prigogine.

In biology circles more and more attention is now being paid to a system known as "biophoton light communication" that appears essential to many regulatory processes in living organisms. The cellular hologram equivalent of the physical nervous system, this sophisticated communication network that employs light for data transfer operates far more quickly than the nervous system and may be considered a real-time (parallel-processing) quantum bio-computer allowing for an unmediated electromagnetic interface with the individual's environment.

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance theory suggests that cellular bioluminescence is both personal and transpersonal. In other words, not only is the individual human "networked" with DNA light emitters and receptors; it appears that our entire species is morphogenetically networked much like individual cells that form a larger biological entity: humanity. This assertion has been substantiated by a Russian team of genetics researchers headlined by Dr. Peter Gariaev, whose findings liken DNA not just to a holographic bio-computer but to a "biological Internet" that links all human beings. Many native wisdom traditions are based on a similar understanding of the universe (human inhabitants included) as a single living being intelligently networked like a biological organism.

"Eastern teachings tell us that the living light is encoded in our form," writes Polich. "The ancient concept of the macrocosm as microcosm … tells us that the greater divine [light] is reflected in the human body. Expressed in another manner, this means that … the spiritual human … has encoded within it a divine blueprint." This divine blueprint, which Polich refers to following the kabalistic tradition as the Adam Kadmon, is also called the lightbody. The lightbody is no esoteric concept but a biological reality, one that gives rise to a radically new "spiritual" biochemistry and genetics that allow for the incarnation of the full light of unity consciousness in every cell of the body.

The lightbody begins to express itself when dormant DNA codes are keyed by torsion energy, particularly sound and light waves of a higher-dimensional nature, such that our cells begin to recognize light as an energy source and metabolize it somewhat like plants do in photosynthesis. Among many other benefits, this cellular evolution is capable of significantly increasing metabolism--encouraging detoxification, rehydration and, ultimately, regeneration.

In this profoundly transformational process, the liquid crystals of cells evolve from primitive hexagonal structures observed in normal human tissues to what have been called "stellar" tetrahedrons. This structural change is extremely consequential. The hydrogen bond angles of our water molecules literally broaden and become interlocking tetrahedrons so that they can hold more light or photonic energy that partially results from the expanded hydrogen bonds themselves. These structures that form the liquid matrix for the new blood and tissues resemble three-dimensional Stars of David or molecular merkabahs. Merkabah is an ancient kabalistic word that means "chariot of light."

This helps explain the confusion that has often surrounded the concept of merkabah, which has sometimes been taken to denote a type of spaceship. The irony is that the merkabah is a sort of spaceship--and that this spaceship is the individual's genetically activated lightbody. According to Barbara Marciniak , the merkabah "represents the figure of the human being in its most unlimited state--the totally free human … The lightbody is the body that holds the complete mutation of the species. It [can] juggle realities through the shifting of consciousness by intent" like changing channels on a television. In a similar vein, Tashíra Tachí-ren in What Is Lightbody? describes the merkabah as a "crystalline Light structure that allows you to pass through space, time, and dimensions, completely in your totality."

The lightbody results from and operates through embodied higher light or consciousness. It represents the natural result of a perceptual evolution into enlightenment that is, by many indications, occurring on a planetary level. From this perspective, there is perhaps no such thing as ascension, only "descension" of the light of soul into physical form. The lightbody may also be, literally, the spaceship that allows us to travel through the stars. Tachí-ren sees "going to Lightbody [as] only a part of a much larger process [in which] all planes and dimensions [merge] back into the Source for this universe, which then merges with other Source-systems, and so on, back to the One." However we define returning home, the lightbody is the vehicle that takes us there.
