light Bearers

Light bearers: 

we are meant to bring light, that we are luminous in a subtle fashion, emitting a visible glow in small quantities, about 1000 times less intense that what the human eye is sensitive to, and science believes that this is a byproduct of a biochemical reaction within the body, perhaps involving our metabolism. There is also infrared light, electromagnetic radiation with a frequency lower than what we visibly measure. Both of these are the faint glow of our existence, biological, produced by the functions of the body. But in a greater sense still...we are light bearers. 

and there's a more subtle light still, biophotons, emitted from cells, and thought to be a form of communication, intelligence shared between the trillions of cells that constitute our bodies. We literally glow with this intelligence, and it truly makes us luminous beings, light bearers, producing the brilliance of our own existence. 

it's here that I veer from science, at least the modern understanding of our luminosity - biophotons are a recent detection in humans and not yet generally understood, although it's now suspected that there is more to this light than previously imagined. Science is just now opening to the possibility that our subtle light is a communication of energy, intelligence itself expressed through cells, and that perhaps even our DNA plays a role in its production, likening it to the rise of consciousness itself in some possible way. Of course these scientist are on the fringe of an ancient understanding, that we are light bearers, made of luminosity, emitting a frequency that it only truly understood and measured by the soul. 

vedic sages knew this long ago and offered us the salutation of namaste, recognizing our subtle luminosity, an intelligence of divine origin intimately shared between us. Artist too have always known of this light, painting images of a halo effect of those who consciously show their light in a more obvious fashion, perhaps living closer to its source, being light bearers by their intent as well as natural function. On my part, this is all speculation, poetry really, only meant to fill page with words of my imagination. Yet somehow, this too seems to bear a light, words shining from the page, ideas reaching me from a source that I can only call divine no matter of its origin. This is the universal namaste, my light recognizing the subtle luminosity of the world, everything shining forth with an intelligence of pure imagination and infinite creativity. 

we are meant to bring light. 

and just by our existence...

we do.
