God's Presence

A Symbol of Light, Harmony and Power

by D.V., MD

God is light and the light the is the Universal Healing Force, the essence of all that is. Light is the eternal truth, the living flame residing within the heart of man.

The light manifests itself as color and sound. Sound as music express the rhythm, melody and harmony of the universe.Music has the power to open oneself to one’s deepest feelings. Through music one may transcend the mundane and experience the essence, purity and joy of one’s self and all of creation. The same is true with color. The use of color and its occult or hidden significance has been used throughout the ages to affect more positive states of beingness.

The rainbow, the objective manifestation of the inner harmonics and purity of divine intelligence and divine love, is nature’s most dramatic and transcendental statement as to the nature of reality.

Through science we know that there is a direct relationship between the seven colors of the spectrum, the seven notes of the musical scale and the seven glandular systems of the body. Each color and note has a unique vibratory rate and pattern which stimulates in a corresponding manner the energy centers or chakras within the mind and in a corresponding fashion within the body, for mind and body are one.

The light as conscious electromagnetic energy from the sun enters into the body through the optic nerves of the eyes. The light directly stimulates the pineal gland. The pineal gland is aphoto-reactive organ and is responsible for the production of mellantoin, a powerful neuro-humoral agent. Mellantoin is necessary for the proper functioning of the brain. The light upon entering the brain travels down into the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is that aspect of the brain which mediates moment-to-moment subconsciously all the vital processes of the body via its direct and immediate connections to the pituitary gland and the autonomic nervous system. The hypothalamus is filled with chromophilic cells which convert the electromagnetic signal of light into a neuro-chemical impulse which is then carried directly to the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland in turn elaborates and secretes hormones which in turn stimulate the secretion of other hormones within the body, thereby maintaining homeostasis within the body.

The hypothalamus also contains within itself the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system via the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system control the blood flow and hence the oxygenation of the body. By exposing the subconscious mind to pure vibration be it pure color or pure sound, one balances the neuro-endocrine system of the body. It is within the simple understanding that one may realize the immense power music and color have upon integrating and expanding the mind and hence bringing healing to the body for healing is the realization that one is always more than one thinks one is, for in truth we are infinite in potential, divine in nature; perfection perfecting itself.

The mandala has appeared throughout man’s history as a universal and essential symbol of integration, harmony and transformation. It gives form to the most primordial intuition of the nature of reality, an intuition that is inherent in each of us, giving us life.

To westerners, the popular reintroduction of the mandala concept may be specifically traced to the work of dr.Carl G.Jung who rediscovered the mandala as a base structural device in the alchemical tradition of the west, and as a therapeutic integrative art form created by patients in their own search for individuation. In “The secret of the Godlen Flower,” dr.Jung and the orientalist Richard Wilhelm relate the idea of the mandala as a therapeutic device to the mandala as a ritual, meditative technique conducive to mystic exaltation. In either the aim is a higher level of integration. By attuning one’s mind to the mandala one becomes the mandala, integrating and impressing upon the psyche patterns of order and harmony which are translated bioenergetically into feelings of profound relaxation and a heightened sense of awareness.

Humankind has now come to a turning point in its evolution. We are witnessing the disintegration and reintegration of the social, philosophical,economi and political matrix of this planet. This synthesis guided by a new consciousness, a consciousness based on the concept of the mandala, will lead humanity back to itself and humanity shall discover its essential nature and find it rooted in love. From this realization man will find his freedom. He will know the infinite richness, love and compassion which governs the universe of light. Man will look upon creation with new eyes, with the eyes of love, compassion and understanding, cleansed forever of lust, hatred, fear and selfishness.
