Light Nature: Corpuscular and Wave

This is a reading from Walter Russell's The Secret of Light, Chapter 12. Light cannot be seen, it can only be known. Light is still. The sense of sight cannot respond as stillness, that which the eyes feel and believe to be light is but wave motion simulating the idea of light. Like all things else in this electric wave universe, the idea of light cannot be produced. Electric wave simulate idea only. They do not become idea. The man sees the light of the sun, he believes that he is actually seen the light when the nerves of his eyes are but feeling. The intense rapid short wave vibrations of the kind of wave motion, which he senses as in condessence. The intensely brilliant, vibrant, electric current mirrored into his senses of the eyes fairly burns them. They cannot stand that high rate of vibration. The eyes would be destroyed by such a vibration, but light would not be the cause of that destruction. The vast motion simulating light would be the cause. It would be like sending a high voltage electric current over a wire, so fine that the current would burn it out. Man likewise cannot see darkness. The nerves of his eyes which, since motion, slow down to a rate of vibration that he can no longer feel. Man is so accustomed to the idea that he actually sees light in various intensities, illuminating various substances to greater or lesser degree that is difficult for him to realize that his own senses are but acting as mirrors to reflect the various intensities of wave motion. But that is all that is happening. Every electricly conditioned thing in the universe reflects the vibrations of every other thing. To fulfill its desire to synchronize its vibrations with every other thing, all matter is the motion of light, all motion is expressed in waves, all light waves are mirrors that reflect each other's conditions, until the further most star. This is an electrically conditioned wave universe, all wave conditions are forever seeking oneness, for this reason all sensation responds to all other sensation. Such controversy has a reason as to whether light is corpuscular as Newton claimed. Or waves, there is much evidence in favor of both theories. It is both light is expressed by motion. All motion is wave motion. All waves are expressed by fields of equal and opposite pressure of two wave motion. The entire volume within wave fields is filled with two opposite expressions of motion. The positive expression that compresses light into solids and the negative expression that expands into space surrounding solids. All space within wave fields is curved. Curverture ends at planes of zero curvature that bound all wave fields. These boundary planes of omnipresent magnetic light act as mirrors to reflect all curvature into all other wave fields in the universe. It is as falcrums from which motion in one wave field is universally repeated. Together, these constitute what we call matter in space. It has been difficult to conceive light as being purely corpuscular for light as presumed to fill all space. Space is not empty, it is full of wave motions. Corpuscles of matter are one half of wave cycles of light. Space is the other half. We need to know mysterious to whether light is corpuscular or wave for waves of motion which simulate the light and darkness of space is all there is. The light and motion of solid matter and of gaseous matter of space differs only in volume and condition. Water of Earth is compressed into small volume while water of the heavens is expanded thousands of times in volume. Each condition is the opposite half of the cycle of water. Water vapor is water turned inside out. It again becomes water by turning outside in. Expansion contraction sequences result from this process. Water of the heavens still is water and is still light waves. No change whatsoever is taken place between the waters of Earth and those of the heavens except to change of its condition from positive to negative preponderance. This change is due solely to a change of its direction and respect to its center of gravity. All dense coal matter such as iron, stone, wood and all growing or decaying things are light. We do not think of them as light but all our waves of motion and all waves of motion are light. Light is all there is in the spiritual universe of knowing and simulation of that light. In the opposite extensions is all there is in the electric wave universe of sensing. The simulation of light in matter is not light. There is no light in matter. Perhaps the confusion which attends this idea would be less and if we classify everything concerning the spiritual universe such as life, intelligence, truth, power, knowledge and balance as being the one light of knowing and everything concerning matter and motion as being the two simulated lights of thinking. Being expressed as knowing in matter but matter does not think nor does it know. Thinking also expresses life, truth, idea, power and balance by recording the ideas of those qualities in the two lights of matter in motion but matter does not live nor is it truth, balance or idea even though it simulates those spiritual qualities. Since confusion concerning the differentiation lies in his long assumption of the reality of matter, his assumption that his body is his self, that his knowledge is in his brain, and that he lives and dies because his body integrates and disintegrates has been so fundamental of part of this thinking that is difficult for him to reverse his thinking to the fact that matter is but motion and has no reality beyond simulating reality. The light which we think we see is but motion, we do not see light. We feel the wave vibration set up by the motion that simulates light. But the motion of electric waves that simulate light is not that which it simulates.
