What we see is NOT what we see; it is Light condensed

I continue my reflections on light. Light is the fundamental component of whatever exists in the universe. Speed of light is the basis that makes things appears real.

Wikipedia defines: “The speed of light in vacuum is an important physical constant denoted by the letter c for constant or the Latin word celeritas meaning "swiftness". It is the speed of all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, in a vacuum. More generally, it is the speed of anything having zero rest mass. In metric units, c is exactly 299,792,458 metres per second (1,079,252,848.8 km/h).”

We see things every day, from the moment we get up in the morning until we go to sleep at night. We look at everything around us using light. We appreciate kids' crayon drawings, fine oil paintings, swirling computer graphics, gorgeous sunsets, a blue sky, shooting stars and rainbows. We rely on mirrors to make ourselves presentable, and sparkling gemstones to show affection. But did you ever stop to think that when we see any of these things, we are not directly connected to it? We are, in fact, seeing light! Light that somehow left objects far or near and reached our eyes. Light is all our eyes can really see. It means that what we see is Light condensed;in truth what we see is NOT what we see!

Modern physicists believe that light can behave as both a particle and a wave. It is pure energy. Bible says, “let’s become the children of Light” What does it mean?
