*I've posted this in Strictly Law of One because I feel it deals with a fundamental issue from the Law of One relating to Ra's cosmology. It just happens to be a science related topic also so mods may think it better suited for the Science and Technology section.*
Greetings fellow seekers. I have a cosmological quandary and I'm wondering if anyone's up for helping me lessen some of the distortion. I'm having a hard time reconciling the photon that Ra and Don discussed with the photon which is understood to a high degree by modern physics.
In the “Standard Model of Particle Physics” the photon is designated as the force carrying particle of the electromagnetic interaction, the quantum of electromagnetic radiation, and as such it makes up the visible light of everyday experience and all the other parts of the EM spectrum (radio, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays, gamma rays). I'm of the understanding that the densities of awareness are a spectral representation of the original thought's vibrations and Ra posits that each density is formed of a quantum of light representing each density. From what I can tell, the photon of Ra's cosmology doesn't seem to be equivalent or even relate directly to that of the Standard Model.
What I'm trying to figure out is where does the phenomena that most people call a photon (EM radiation spectrum) fit into the cosmological scheme of the densities of awareness? I was originally thinking that the regular everyday EM photon we know, since it comes about from electrons oscillating between quantized energy levels, relates to the 1st density light. Electrons are considered a fundamental particle of matter, and I had always thought of 1st density as consisting mostly of the raw matter that makes up our planet. But then I started thinking about matter that isn't bound to a planetary environment (like space dust, solar winds, etc) and I had to reevaluate where 1st density actually begins. That topic deserves its own thread so I won't go into that any further here.
My main concern is the relationship between what we generally know as photons, the visible light and other higher and lower wavelengths that make up the EM spectrum, and the light quanta of awareness which make up the spectrum of densities. My tentative position at this point is that the the basic matter of 1st density which makes up the physical world is a kind of “limited” light, or as David Bohm said, “frozen light”. What I mean is that photons don't have a rest mass and are pure electromagnetic energy at constant velocity, whereas atomic particles have definite mass, are bound, but have electromagnetic properties; they seem to me to be a restriction on the high freedom of the photon. At this point there are atoms and molecules which make up the classical elements which Ra lists as being characteristic of 1st density. From here DNA develops from those interactions and gives rise to 2nd density, which after a damn long time gains reflective self-awareness in 3rd. We can see here the progression of “solid” entities through the experiences which each density has to offer, but the basic photon that is EM radiation isn't solid in any way. So where does that photon fit into the spectrum of densities which makes use of the universal Light substance which is the 3rd distortion of Intelligent Infinity? Is there a distinct difference between the EM radiation which is a fundamental expression of 1st density (and 2nd density as bioluminescence , and both 2nd and 3rd as infrared heat radiation) vs. the 3rd distortion of II that Ra calls Light and which makes up all of the densities?
I'm surprised that Don, given his physics background, never sought to clarify any of this, but perhaps it never crossed his mind. I have no problem seeing Light as the universal substance which Logos uses to express the original thought, I just have a problem fitting in what most humans think of as light into that picture. This is something that's been bugging me for a while so it would be cool to read what others have thought of this issue. Any ideas are welcome and appreciated.
