The Invisible Rainbow

Our world is one of light and frequencies. We are electromagnetic beings. Imagine all the variations in light wavelengths around you all day every day in your office, in the shops, and in your home. These frequencies are being emitted through Wi-Fi, our televisions, our smartphones, and all other electric devices which we use every moment of our lives.

As humans (or hue-mans?) we can only see a certain part of the colour spectrum. We cannot see ultraviolet light, and yet we are interacting with it all the time, but other animals can see ultraviolet, for example bees. Different creatures have different perceptions of the colour spectrum and therefore see reality totally differently to us humans.

What if ‘space’ wasn’t really black? What if it was a galactic rainbow of consciousness that we cannot perceive in our current physical form? Just like we cannot easily perceive other dimensions and frequencies. We can only make sense of reality within the parameters we live in.

Perhaps our senses have been dulled through the chaos of the world. It is a well-known fact that we only use a small percentage of our brain power. Our bodies know more than what we are consciously aware of. Our nervous system is an electrical one and our brains are organic computers. We are also walking radios — our thyroids act as organic radio stations with the man-made dipole antenna mimicking the butterfly shaped thyroid gland. We are communicating with the environment around us constantly, verbal conversation just being one layer of communication.

Electricity is our life force running through our body systems. Electric shocks and static aren’t just random anomalies, they are manifestations of the invisible energy around us and inside us. Electricity is a natural manifestation in the ether and was once known to be a property of life. Following our known history, scientists in the 1800s learnt how to extract electricity from the air and manipulate it into energy for various inventions.

Technology has advanced exponentially since then and the devices we have today would seem like magic to the scientists back then. It’s almost like we’ve harvested lightening and rainbows and repurposed the wavelengths into black screens and the internet. Have we ever thought to question effects of the concentration and reformation of light into our technological devices and interfaces?

Our natural state of being brings to mind a balanced electromagnetic field around the individual. Perhaps the colours of our different energetic points as described in the concept of chakras is an accurate representation of the body system. The concept of auras also becomes feasible in thinking in terms of light given off by beings in various states. In fact, aura photography was once a known practice going back as far as the 1890s when Nikola Tesla discovered the fact that our bodies “glow” in certain conditions.

Though we may think we are incredibly advanced as a civilisation, that may only be the case in technology. There is still so much unknown, and it is exciting to sense that there are other layers of reality invisible to us at this point in time, but ready for us to discover as we wake up to more of our senses and expand our consciousness.

The title of my article is taken from the book of the same name by Arthur Firstenburg which I recommend to anyone with a more scientific interest.

“My brain is only a receiver, in the universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know it exists.” Nikola Tesla
