By David Lorimer, Programme Director, SMN [Director 1986 – 2000]
An exploration of the nature of physical reality that depicts our universe as ‘a 4‑dimensional interplay of [cyclic, vibrational] light‑flows, varying dynamically in time and space, woven by consciousness.’ This means that we are also sparks of consciousness with bodies likewise constituted of light and part of the co‑creative process of unfolding towards greater complexity and coherence. This energy‑flow paradigm of matter is shown to provide a rationale for the constancy of physical laws, and mass is the energy‑flow forming an object. The nature of gravity can also be deduced from the light‑flow structure of matter. Thus one can understand light as the currency of the cosmos and the energy‑flows as time. The view put forward is consistent with the findings of relativity and quantum mechanics, but provides a new and dynamic understanding of the world we live in. Breath of the Cosmos
This companion volume expresses in poetic form the more technical exposition of the book above, speaking of breath, light, time and space. For instance, ‘the material realm is a realm of flow, of energies intertwining, interacting, separating, regrouping.’ Stable forms like our own bodies emerge out of the flow while remaining dynamic in terms of process like the dissipative structures of Prigogine. The direction of flow is towards oneness and wholeness. We are reminded that light is a precondition of beauty, and the book itself is beautifully designed with photographs to reflect its themes. As the author puts it, ‘we are privileged to navigate, with instruments of time and space, the measureless tracts of eternity.’ We can come to the realisation that ‘l am in all, all is in me’, giving us a cosmic perspective. One can also add that this language of light seems to apply in more subtle spiritual realms so that earthly perception is a denser version of the same universal process.
