On the Nature of Light

This is not quite Huygens but borrows some from the outgrowth of such ideas. We as humans are naturally inquisitive. This nature might have been part of the impetus with resulted in Eve reaching for fruit from a tree which was forbidden upon the coaxing of the evil one. She might have been thinking,"it said that I would be as wise as the Lord if I ate the fruit of this tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and I wonder what such wisdom would be like."

It is a sad commentary on our foolish tendencies, proclivities, and predispositions that we must unravel each part and parcel of this cosmos which the Creator gave us. Modern physicist smash the tiniest of particles against each other after accelerating them beyond speeds at which most can imagine or comprehend traveling. The result is smaller fragments of matter. One is considered quite accomplished in this field when he can find a new tiny particle in the resulting smithereens of each new smash. Forgive the analogy, but many young children do the same so they might discover the inner workings of a new toy. If we can learn from such experiences when toys new holiday toys become broken beyond repair and we have often followed this destructive behavior by a trail of tears, we can be wise enough that we peacefully and reverently enjoy this creation of which the Lord has made us stewards.

Interestingly enough, in this day most men of letters feel that all matter is simply varying regular aggregate of light "particles" which by nature move as a wave. It was not mere chance that the Lord breathed in the ears of the writer of the Book of Beginnings that his first imperative in this new Universe was "Let there be light." This simple and complex command has actually been unfolding over the entire existence of this creations. Light shall continue coursing through this cosmos until He cries, "Halt". It shall continue forming matter and being released from matter which is unforming.

It is simple in that it opened a floodgate of blessings upon the His Creation; it is complex in that all that would occur in the moments since the onset of this command was determined by it being spoken.

As it says, His Ways and Thoughts are beyond ours. He communicates with us in anthropomorphic terms so we might understand his wishes. He imparts what we must know. Aspects of this life such as some the illusions of this world are often in existence so we might feel more comfortable. For instance, these are the beginnings of the end times. This has been proven in ways by twentieth century physicists for those who doubt Immutable Holy Scripture. Do a little reading on vector-clocks. Clocks simply stamp out a regular cadence of changes as a measure of the events which occur around us. When curious about the change of the sun and moon rising and setting, He told us that it was a day. This illusion makes us comfortable so we might track the events around us. The phases of the moon, He told us were months. The cycle of seasons he told us were a year. But, all that we can count on is that our environment changes until He says "Halt" and trouble shall last until He says the same.

This weblog has a strong Christian focus, yet numerous noble men and women among many noble faith exists. Otherwise, the One which we claim as His Son would not have stated in Matthew 25:31-46 (KIV):

³¹ “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. ³² All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. ³³ He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

³⁴ “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. ³⁵ For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

³⁷ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? ³⁸ When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? ³⁹ When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
⁴⁰ “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

⁴¹ “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. ⁴² For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, ⁴³ I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
⁴⁴ “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

⁴⁵ “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ ⁴⁶ “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Or, Matthew 7:18-27:
  
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
   
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
   
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
   
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
   
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
   
And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
   
And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

With all that said, one of the most noble ways in which I saw a community deal with a wayward women who was tempting men in it was by a woman of a non-Christian faith who recognized that she had self-esteem issues and had been mistreated most of her life. Although she was a member of a faith tradition which we in this country are told is caste-based, her group of friends felt that it was best that they befriend and rehabilitate her than slander her name and publicly harass her. Is this not the type of love which Christ showed and of which he spoke? Should we as Christians not expect that such of His children receive the reward which He promised those which followed his teaching. If Rahab had not been redeemable, from where would promise of salvation be drawn.

Have a Beautiful and Blessed Week. Pardon any typos. This was a rapid draft.
