Part III: Becoming Light

It also must be stressed that the personal and collective evolution of consciousness and physiology we are embarking on presently as a species involves a positive genetic (trans)mutation that empowers humans to expand our multidimensional awareness while, effectively, becoming light.

Everything is energy. Einstein expressed an understanding of this truth in his famous theorem E=MC2, which established 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 now has been validated even further by the quantum sciences was known to the ancient Hindus when they employed the term maya, meaning the illusion often mistaken for reality. Without a doubt, vanguard Russian scientists such as Kozyrev, Gariaev and Poponin who have studied torsion waves understand that energy (including so-called matter) is consciousness, and vice versa.

The notion that everything is energy or consciousness directly applies to human biology. The materialistic view of the body as a machine that may run on energy but is somehow distinguishable from it, is fast giving way to undeniable evidence that we, too, at our most fundamental level, are manifestations of conscious energy.

The holographic model views the ostensibly physical universe in terms of intersecting electromagnetic frequencies that, in effect, project the staggering illusions we think of as the world … and ourselves. "When two waves come together they interact with each other producing [a hologram]," writes Horowitz. "Information is processed and cell structures are organized by these forces including the structure and standing waves created by DNA."

By now it should not strike the listener as "coming from left field" to learn that in Vibrational Medicine, Dr. Richard Gerber concludes that matter, including human cells, is actually "frozen light." Horowitz reaches precisely the same conclusion, bluntly stating that humans are "crystallized or precipitated light." This assertion is consistent not only with torsion-wave research and the holographic model, but also with the findings of more mainstream quantum physics, which has demonstrated that light (much like DNA) is capable of both carrying and remembering data.

An insightful perspective on how the human body operates via--and even is composed of--light is provided by Dr. David Jernigan in an article entitled "lluminated Physiology and the Medical Uses of Light," where the author explains,

Top researchers believe that our thoughts cause the mind to set up a morphogenetic field, which in turn fuels bio-holographic ... projections in the heart. These projections in the heart use biophotonic (laser-like) coherent emissions to transmit information and control inputs to the DNA and from the DNA to the entire crystalline matrix to support the thought command. In theory, heart-generated light traveling through the liquid crystalline matrix 'optical fibers' of the body can produce 'supercontinuum light,' thereby maintaining its coherence and resulting in the multi-system wide effects seen when one biophotonic emission frequency from the heart is sent through the body’s crystalline matrix ... [DNA contains] photo-receivers and photo-transmitters, and it may be that DNA is where the coherent signal is split into supercontinuum light to produce the 'super-biohologram' that is the human body. It would seem that our thoughts are commands to the heart. The heart photonically imprints the DNA with the information to make the thought command come true.

The concept of light as information, or "light in formation," is an old one that for centuries has 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" and often centered in the heart) 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, whose cosmology includes the Photon Band as a connector between Galactic Center and our sun. With the latter being Earth's primary source of light or information, the reverence for the sun in virtually all pre-industrialized cultures appears not naïve, but an informed and deliberate focus on humanity's local source of universal creative consciousness.

"DNA ... is a specific vibration of light that comes from the sun and becomes matter," observes Dr. Ruiz in Beyond Fear: A Toltec Guide to Freedom and Joy. "Every kind of life on Planet Earth, from … stones to humans, has a specific vibration from light that comes from the sun. Each plant, animal, virus and bacterium has a specific ray of light … condensed by Mother Earth and the information carried in the light becomes matter."

Neurological research indicates that humans' tremendous brainpower, even operating 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 biocomputer that operates through electromagnetic frequencies. Not surprisingly, DNA has been shown to function very similarly. Human biology thus may be considered electromagnetic at the level of its manifestation from the torsion life-wave that sustains it. As Deepak Chopra has observed, human cells, far from being merely functional vessels, are in actuality electromagnetic fields of possibility and potential.

Human bioenergetic frequencies can be identified clearly in the aura. Researchers now generally agree that humans possess a detectable aura. Kirlian photography has captured this iridescent halo around the body for decades. In 1972 biophysicist Richard Alan Miller developed a field theory to explain the aura. More recently, Dr. Valerie Hunt, UCLA professor and author of Infinite Mind, actually measured the human aura with an EEG machine. Early in the 20th Century, it was theorized that the aura comprises various frequency bands known as auric fields, and that these govern distinct aspects of human biology, psychology, and spirituality.

Each of these so-called auric fields also corresponds to, and interfaces with, a specific dimension. The third field, for instance, is keyed to the third dimension. The auric fields can 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 bioenergy fields and corresponding chakras is what it means to become "multidimensional." It is believed by Wilcock, myself and others that eight dimensions (not counting the "transdimension" of Source) are available to human perception at our present evolutionary stage, which means that operating in the first three dimensions, as most people do, humans currently only access just over a third of "reality." This does not even take into account the probable existence of multiple parallel realities.

According to Braden in The God Code, the ancient Hebrew four-letter name for God is secretly 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, from an evolutionary perspective, are linked inextricably--we must acknowledge that divine consciousness is available in and through physicality.


One highly intriguing aspect of DNA is that most people utilize only about ten--some say as little as two or three--percent of it. The other ninety percent or more has been dismissed by mainstream genetic 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 scientific model, 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, given the nonlocal quality of the torsion energy at its base, very well may reside in other dimensions.

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

Many believe the answer to all these questions is an emphatic yes. According to 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."

"It seems clear that our hidden human potential is now unfolding,” observes Judith Polich. "The higher order of consciousness that represents our next leap in human evolution is now being activated, and we are evolving into a higher frequency of light [...] Moreover, it is possible that the hidden potential lies within the very fabric of our DNA."

Polich quotes evolutionary biologist Elisabet Sahtouris, who observes that "the history of evolution has repeatedly demonstrated that DNA is capable of rearranging itself intelligently in response to changing environmental conditions. Therefore, some types of mutation may not be random at all." In fact, according to Sahtouris, our "DNA may be capable of utilizing information and making conscious changes in its structure. That is, it may consciously direct the process of mutation, thus transforming a species."

In a wonderful article entitled "Living Systems in Evolution," Sahtouris elaborates on the current "changing of the guard" in our way of thinking about the nature of DNA:

In molecular genetic biology this shift is supported by fifty years of research evidence that DNA reorganizes itself intelligently when organisms are environmentally stressed, and that the required information transfer often seems to obey some form of nonlocality rather than slower chemical or electromagnetic transmission. Rather than being the sources of variation and evolution, errors known to occur in DNA during reproduction and by cosmic radiation or other accidents are recognized at the molecular level and fixed by repair genes. Thus we see intelligence at work not only in higher brains, but in the lowliest of bacteria and cellular components. Clearly, we are moving toward a post-Darwinian era in evolution biology.

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 some type of frequency increase that ultimately will 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 substantiated adequately, a number of researchers, myself included, still believe that some, possibly higher-dimensional (torsion) aspect of Earth's resonance indeed is increasing in keeping with the evolutionary timeline encoded in the Mayan calendar and explained in such compelling intuitive sources as The Law of One. 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 at first may sound, given DNA's spectacular capacity for adaptive (trans)mutation. Recently, the phrase "quantum biology" has appeared in response (in some cases) to allegedly suppressed evidence suggesting that a third strand of DNA currently is activating in humans, forming what may be a "triple helix." I believe the creation of a third strand of DNA is a potential 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.

The generally accepted notion that DNA in its double-stranded form is a universal molecule actually finds little support when we examine the activity of DNA itself. As previously emphasized, DNA continuously is changing, mutating. To claim it is impossible for DNA to morph into another molecule represents an empiricist bias based on so-called immutable facts (that the DNA molecule has been around a long time in more or less the same configuration, for instance) which are called into question by, among other scientific discoveries, the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and the logic-defying realization that we create our reality by observing it.

Inevitably, the scientific community is coming around to an awareness of the mutable nature of what heretofore were considered nature's immutable laws. In the words of biologist Rupert Sheldrake in The Presence of the Past, the "assumption that the laws of nature are eternal" actually stems from early Christian influence on the scientific method that was developed in the 17th Century. "Perhaps the laws of nature have actually evolved along with nature itself, and perhaps they are still evolving?" wonders Sheldrake. "Or perhaps they are not laws at all" but are "more like habits?"

In the theoretical case of radical genetic (trans)mutation from two to three rungs of DNA, we still are looking at a single molecule of life. There is simply (or not so simply) the addition of a third rung requiring a reconfiguring of the manner in which base pairs of nucleotides (protein bases) attach to the rungs. This might occur through a large-scale genetic rearrangement as described by Colm Kelleher in his article "Retrotransposons as Engines of Human Bodily Transformation."

On the subject of the emergence of a new genotype of human, Polich writes 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. Later in Germany, Marco Bischof published an influential text entitled Biophotons: The Light in Our Cells. By 1974 German biophysicist Fritz Albert Popp's biophoton theory had confirmed the basic mitogenic hypothesis, demonstrating that DNA is the source of bioluminescence.

In biology circles, more and more attention is 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 nervous system, this intricate 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 biocomputer allowing for an unmediated electromagnetic interface with the individual's environment.

Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance theory strongly suggests that cellular bioluminescence (which in humans ranges from ultraviolet to infrared) is both personal and transpersonal. In other words, not only is the individual human "networked" with DNA light emitters and receptors; it also appears our entire species is networked morphogenetically much like individual cells that form a larger biological entity: humanity.

This assertion has been substantiated by the Gariaev group, whose findings liken DNA not just to a holographic biocomputer, but to a "biological Internet" that links all human beings. Many native wisdom traditions are based on an equivalent understanding of the universe (human inhabitants included) as a single living being intelligently networked like a biological organism. A similar understanding of the ultimate systemic unity of reality is the absolute foundational concept behind The Law of One.

"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, also has been referred to as the lightbody.

Throughout the centuries, the lightbody has been called by many names. Other historical names for the lightbody include the "Diamond Body" and "Jade Body" (Taoism), the "Merkabah" (Kabala), the "Adamantine Body" (Tantra), the "Glorified Body" (Christianity), "Holy Flesh" (Catholicism), the "Superconductive Body" (Vedanta), the "Supercelestial Body" (Sufism), the "Radiant Body" (Neo-Platonism), the "Immortal Body" (Hermeticism), the "Body of Bliss" (Kriya Yoga), the "Perfect Body" (Mithraism), and the "Golden Body" (Emerald Tablets).

According to author and researcher Sai Grafio, who contributed to the foregoing list, the Tibetan Buddhist tradition is the only ancient tradition that actually refers to our ascensional vehicle as the lightbody. It goes almost without saying that the building of any kind of body, "natural" or "supernatural," is accomplished by way of life's building block, DNA, in one form or another.

With great prescience in the middle of the 20th Century, Indian philosopher and holy man Sri Aurobindo referred to the lightbody as the "Divine Body," explaining that it "is indeed as a result of our evolution that we arrive at the possibility of this transformation … Here a slow and tardy change need no longer be the law or manner of our evolution; it will be only so to a greater or lesser extent so long as a mental ignorance clings and hampers our ascent."

In the Bible, the lightbody is referred to as the "Spiritual Body" and the "Wedding Garment." The resurrection and glorification of the body is a central dogma of the Catholic Church, which maintains detailed records of lightbody activations in its strict records used in the canonization process for saints. Perhaps the most famous biblical passage that appears to describe the transformation of the human body into a lightbody occurs in Saint Paul's epistle I Corinthians 15:39-44:

All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption.
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

James Redfield, Michael Murphy and Sylvia Timbers cite this passage in God and the Evolving Universe: The Next Step in Personal Evolution, a thoughtful and scholarly study of planetary evolution and human potential whose focus--surprising for a National Bestseller--turns out to be "luminous embodiment." In light of our current discussion, one passage from this illuminating book is worth quoting:

[W]e can begin to picture bodily changes that might accompany the further development of our greater attributes, supposing: first, that esoteric accounts of bodily transformation, though frequently fanciful, reflect actual developments of physical structures as yet unrecognized by science; second, that supernormal capacities, like their normal counterparts, require distinctive types of supporting structure and process; and third, that we can extrapolate from physiological changes already revealed by modern research in imagining bodily developments required for high-level change.

Clearly, the lightbody is no starry-eyed, esoteric fantasy, but at the very least a biological possibility--one that, by various indications, gives rise to a radically new "spiritual" biochemistry and genetics that allow for the incarnation of the light of unity consciousness in every cell of the body.

In the profoundly transformational process of lightbody activation, which for many of us is likely to be experienced as a global event sometime around December 21, 2012, it would appear from the esoteric literature that the liquid crystals of cells evolve from primitive hexagonal structures observed in normal human tissues to what have been called "stellar" tetrahedrons. Needless to say, this structural change is extremely consequential for biological expression.

In such a scenario, the hydrogen bond angles of our water molecules literally may broaden and become interlocking tetrahedrons in order to 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 are thought to resemble three-dimensional Stars of David or molecular merkabahs. Merkabah is an ancient kabalistic word meaning "vehicle of light."

This helps explain the confusion that often has surrounded the merkabah, which sometimes has 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 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 describes the merkabah as a "crystalline Light structure that allows you to pass through space, time, and dimensions, completely in your totality."

Whatever its formal geometry may be, and there are various competing theories on this subject, the lightbody results from and operates through embodied higher light or consciousness. It represents the natural result of a perceptual evolution into enlightenment, based in unity consciousness and unconditional love, that is, by many indications, occurring on a planetary level with gathering speed and power.

From a certain perspective, there is perhaps no such thing as ascension, only "descension" of the light of unity consciousness into physical form. The lightbody also may be, literally, the spaceship that allows us to travel the multi- and transdimensional Black Road through the stars, ultimately all the way back to our Source.

In her own version of cosmological natural selection, 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--which itself appears to evolve into even higher expressions over time--is the vehicle that takes us there.
