Rabbit Trails of Light, Part 2

In my original article Rabbit Trails of Light I presented the foundational blocks of energy so far as science has learned about them.  Here in part 2 I want to present to you a sketch of an understanding of A tree of life that may help to comprehend how some of these rabbit trails stitch together. 

A diagram at the end may help to pull it all together.

So lets start at the beginning.  Many are familiar that Genesis 1:1 says, in part, "In the beginning, God...."  From this viewpoint God existed before ANY of the universe existed.

 

Science is currently somewhat in favor of the "Big Bang Theory" which holds that the universe as we know it, ALL of its energy and matter, was compressed into a single point of energy; a singularity.  

Genesis 1:1 concludes that from this single point of energy was brought forth into existence everything that is.  God is in that single point of energy and everything that is came forth from this single dimensional point of energy.

Therefore, as we begin this investigation of A Tree of Life, at the very top of the tree, or even above the top of the tree shedding light onto it, is the first principle:

A Sailing Ship Analogy

“Spirit” is an energy that moves throughout the universe.  It is an energetic animating and moving force much as the wind on the Earth is an energetic and moving force.  

Referenced by many as the Divine, this “Shining” from the heavens (what the word divine references) is everywhere all at once, all the time, kind of like the atmosphere around our planet.

Each of us reading this is a “co-creator” with the divine and may utilize these energetic, animating, moving forces.  Like a sailing ship, we may use these forces to “sail” us through the life that we have chosen.

Rabbit Trails of Light

Have you ever awakened with a dream that seemed to make so many things clear to you?  I had one about a year ago and I managed to get it written down before it faded away.

Let me see if we can hop down this rabbit trail of light before it gets too tangled in the bushes.  I’ll list these as bullet points with a brief explanation.  Our SOW article Photons, Light and God/Source/Energy is also a good summary of a lot of this information.

Photons, Light and God/Source/Energy

Calculations enabled scientists to compute this image of a photon from this article:  https://www.sci.news/physics/photon-shape-13438.html

The article below is an excerpt of a letter to the editor by David James Lindeman of Nevada, and published in The Epoch Times, Southern Edition; April 23-29, 2025, Page A20, reproduced here for fair-use educational purposes.

This is in support of your article Your Body Creates and Eats Light, by Sina McCullough, that ran in the April 2-8, edition.  The article discusses photons in our bodies. I am a photon freak, so here's the theory.

A photon is a magnetic field. It measures zero in each of the three dimensions of space. It has no mass. Since it is traveling at the speed of light, it experiences no time. Despite its name, a photon is not a little lightbulb.

Photons are always flying around us, within us, and through the air, such as radio waves. We only perceived photos when they fly into our eye at a frequency of 400 trillion to 800 trillion per second. This is the visible light spectrum. If we could detect other photon and magnetic fields, we would be vastly overwhelmed.

Everything in existence is entirely made of photons. Every element in the periodic table is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are each entirely made of photons. Since photons are magnetic fields, they have a positive charge and a negative charge. There were only three choices of charged particles possible: positive, negative or neutral. Thus, the proton, electron and neutron

Happy Beltane!

 Today, May 1st, is Beltane. Happy Beltane!

Beltane celebrates the transition between Spring and Summer. As the beginning of the Summer months Beltane is one of the four major ancient Gaelic seasonal festivals, alongside Samhain (marking the start of winter), Imbolc (welcoming spring) and Lughnasadh (honoring the harvest season).

Beltane also sometimes goes by the name May Day.  Beltane is often associated with the Celtic god Bel; the word Beltane literally means fire of Bel. Beltane rituals include bonfires, often with cattle being driven between them for purification and protection, and dancing around or leaping over the flames.

RANDOM QUOTES: The Body, the Mind, and Learning

“The body …as a learning device merely follows the learner, but if it is falsely endowed with self-initiative, it becomes a serious obstruction to the very learning it should facilitate. Only the mind is capable of illumination. Spirit is already illuminated and the body in itself is too dense.” 

“The mind, however, can bring its illumination to the body by recognizing that it is not the learner, and is therefore unamenable to learning. The body is, however, easily brought into alignment with a mind that has learned to look beyond it toward the light.”

The Cost of Neglecting Your Spirituality

The following article is excerpted from the article The Cost of Neglecting Spirituality by Arsh Sarao.

What if the most overlooked factor in your health isn’t what you eat or how you exercise, but what you believe?

A doctor in a stressful practice found it difficult to lift himself out of the depression that medical practice brought to him. That’s when he decided to embrace a spiritual routine. He began meditating for a few minutes every day and hasn’t stopped since. According to him, this simple lifestyle change has helped him reclaim his well-being. He has come a long way from being an anxious and depressed intern to an optimistic, caring, full-time doctor assisting in the emergency room.

Studies find spirituality to be associated with benefits such as better mental health, longevity, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and brain disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. A general culture of “neglected spirituality” has led many to find it hard to believe that there is a connection between spirituality and health.

Here are the benefits you might miss by neglecting spirituality.

13:20 Tones for Meditation

A short description of the Mayan calendar system was shared in THIS ARTICLE.  Now I want to share a bit more about some of its thoughtful components.  This particular information comes from the website Mayan Dreamspell Calendar 13:20:Sync and which has its own APP on the App Store. 

The 13:20 concept, also known as the 13 Tones and 20 Seals, is a system used in the Galactic Calendar or Mayan Dreamspell Calendar. It's a timekeeping system that suggests life operates in harmonic cycles and emphasizes synchronization. 

The 13 Tones represent the harmonic frequencies or vibrations of a particular calendar cycle, while the 20 Seals are related to specific cosmic forces or energies associated with a particular calendar cycle. The 13:20 system emphasizes the idea that understanding these cycles can help align with natural rhythms and achieve better synchronization, which is defined as “The operation of a higher moving template of mathematical order that coordinates all phenomena telepathically.”

In this article I want to share with you some excerpts from the 20 Seals that I found interesting.  At various times of the day taking a time of  brief mediation on the Tones associated with that day can help to attune one to the operation of the higher moving template of mathematical order.  I share these excerpts with you to introduce you to this system because these are worthy of mediation.  These are but excerpts from the 113:20:Sync system, check their website or app for more detailed information.

The 20 Seals with a brief excerpt from each:

What is a Druid?

Druid.  It conjures up images of bearded old men in the forest wearing white robes and worshiping nature.  But what, or who were the Druids?

Eytmonline states that a Druid is "one of the order of priests among the ancient Celts of Gaul, Britain, and Ireland."  The word is derived from the Latin word druis, a feminine form of the word druias (plural druidae), from a Celtic compound *dru-wid meaning "strong seer." 

This ancient Celtic word is said to come from Old Celtic *derwos meaning  "true" (from and ancient PIE word root *deru- indicating "tree," especially oak) +and *wid- "to know" (from PIE root *weid- "to see").

So while the Druids might said to be the "knowers" or "seers" of the oaks, it can equally be said that the druids were "those who see, know, and pursue what is true, what is as real as the trees."

Concepts of Fitness and Health

The word fitness means "suited to the circumstances, proper," and more specifically in relation to physical condition it means "in condition, properly trained for action."  Keeping our bodies in a condition properly trained for the actions we demand of it is a component of health.

The world Health means "wholeness, a being whole, sound or well."  It refers to being sound, well, whole in physical, mental and spiritual function.

The following article is based upon a 1943 Women's Army Corp Physical Fitness Manual.  The concepts it expresses are nevertheless as useful today as they ever have been.   Quotations below are taken from FM 35-20 W.A.C. Field Manual Physical Training, 1943.  Let's look at the concepts shared in that manual and how the women of WWII prepared themselves.

A SHORT Descriptor of the Mayan Calandar

Click to enlarge

The Tzolkin, or as I like to imagine it, the Sol-counter, or Day counter (this is probably an inaccurate translation, but IS an accurate descriptor), is the name of the 260 day Day-counter of the Mayans. There are 20 seals or "characteristics" described and 13 tones or descriptions of cosmic energies. 

Each day a new seal, set of characteristics, is "cycled through" and each seal used once in each 13-Tone cycle making a chart of 260 unique combinations that cycle through the years presenting an ever changing portrait of "things to think about."

Here is a very brief overview of how the Mayans kept their timekeeping system:

Stories for the Spring Equinox

The Great Bear and her
 “Little Dipper”

The Spring Equinox honors one of the two times of the year when day and night are of equal length. Equinox comes from the Latin ‘Aequus” (equal) & ‘Nox’ (night). At this time, the Sun is directly above the Earth’s equator between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. It is the beginning of astronomical Spring. 

Here's a bit of trivia you may not know.   There are two constellations in the northern sky that reference bears, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor – The Big and Little Dippers.  The "dipper" portion of the constellations is said to reference the bear's body and the "handle" portion of the Big Dipper the bear's tail.  

The Island of the Children

The following is described as a story told by the Count Saint-Germain to the court of Marie Antoinette shortly before the French Revolution.  He urged her to mitigate some of the animosity that was directed towards her and to make a connection with her people.  

The setting of this story is in the summer house of Queen Marie Antoinette and she and her courtesans are enjoying an evening together with the Count Saint-Germain.  One of the courtesans  implores Saint-Germain to work his magic upon Marie Antoinette so that she would forever stay a lovely, beautiful child.

Saint-Germain said "I'm sorry, Countess.  God has ordained that children should grow up, and I can't work against Him." "What a shame," the Countess .... responded.  "Adults are so boring." The Count responded "then perhaps you ladies do not know the tale of the Isle of the Children?" Saint-Germain glanced around the eager group.  They had not heard the tale and clamored for him to tell it.

Sound Body, Sound Mind, Sound Character

Excerpted and edited from It’s Character that Counts Most in the Arena in Epoch Times

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.    —Theodore Roosevelt 

Many are familiar with this quote and it graces many a motivational quote.  But did you know that this quote was part of a nearly 9000 word speech given by Roosevelt that he titled Citizenship in a Republic and presented at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1910?

Tucked into this long parade of the former president’s thoughts are some passing comments on a “sound mind” in a “sound body” and on the element never included in this prescription for well-being: a sound character. All of which are of interest to us utilizing this Sharing of Wisdom Blog.

The Spring Maiden

The Spring Equinox honors one of the two times of the year when day and night are of equal length. Equinox comes from the Latin ‘Aequus” (equal) & ‘Nox’ (night). At this time, the Sun is directly above the Earth’s equator path between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. It is the beginning of astronomical Spring.

From this point on daylight hours will be longer than night, days will increase in length.  The sun's light is reborn and begins to grow stronger. It’s time to throw off the warm blanket we’ve been hibernating under and step out into the fresh energy of a new season.  The force of light is equally balanced with the force of darkness at this time, but light is on the increase – and will reach its apogee at the Summer Solstice three months from now.  This growing light calls us to become active again to grow in our maturity towards things of the light.

Breathing With the Elements of the Heart

Conscious connected breathing is communication with the Source of life and a deep Peace within.  With purposeful breathing, the physical body feels lighter, liberated, and clarity is instilled within the thought process.  We become more coherent and find ourselves in a more Joyous and fulfilled state of Being.

The following information and ways of breathing allow you to discern and choose what you may require at any given moment to bring balance into any of the four levels of existence that you may find yourselves in.

The Inner Citadel

Almost 2,000 years ago a man devised a self-care retreat that is free of charge; a retreat that you can take whenever you desire.

Stoic thinker Emperor Marcus Aurelius, A.D. 160 to 181,  was a scholarly man who seems to have preferred the philosophical life, but did his duty at the front lines of battle, defending the empire (and by extension those that he loved) from the foreigners who were constantly picking at the borders of his many realms, testing the Roman state for any signs of weakness.

In Book 4 of his “Meditations,” Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote:

“Men seek retreats for themselves—in the country, by the sea, in the hills... but it is open to you, at any time you want, to retreat into yourself. No retreat offers someone more quiet and relaxation than that into his own mind, especially if he can dip into thoughts there which put him at immediate and complete ease: and by ease I simply mean a well-ordered life. So constantly give yourself this retreat, and renew yourself. The doctrines you will visit there should be few and fundamental, sufficient at one meeting to wash away all your pain and send you back free of resentment at what you must rejoin.”
