Quote by Dr. Thomas Stark

“What do the Lorentz transformations tell us? They not only show that space and time are linked (they change in a precise mathematical way to always ensure that the speed of light remains the same), they also show that space and time exist within a container that is not in space and time, that is outside space and time. Space and time exist within the container of light. That’s literally what the Lorentz transformations say. They say that light is maximally length contracted, hence is not in space, that it is maximally time dilated, hence not in time, and that it massless, hence not part of the material order. All material things have non-zero mass and travel at less than the speed of light. The immaterial – massless light – travels at a fixed speed, the maximum speed of reality.”

“Absolute things are eternal and necessary. They are pure Being. Relative things are temporal and contingent. They belong to the order of Becoming. The material universe of space and time is Becoming. Light, however, is Being. Becoming exists within Being, as its construct. Matter exists within light. No one ever said, “Let there be light.” Light has always been, and always will be.”

“Everything is about frequencies, vibrations. “Matter” is just a special type of vibration. There is no bigger idea than that thoughts = sinusoids, and sinusoids = light, and from light we get all of matter. Meaning that everything belongs to a giant system of thought, to a self-solving cosmic intellect.”

“There are few things as startling as encountering an unearthly glow in the wild. Glow-worms. Ghost mushrooms. Fireflies. Flashlight fish. Lantern sharks. Vampire squid. Our forest floors and ceilings, our ocean depths and fringes are full of luminous beings, creatures lit from the inside. And they have, for many centuries, enchanted us, like glowing missionaries of wonder, emissaries of awe. Is there anything more beautiful than living light?”

“In the glass, Constance saw not herself but a resonant symbol of who she might be. Indeed, of who she authentically was, if only she allowed herself. I am the dove, she thought, holding all the converging lines of my strength and possibility. I am the light for my children, as they are the light for me. I am the one beckoning to the one in myself yearning to be free.”
