But this is only the tiniest fraction of the entire electromagnetic spectrum. It is difficult to, pardon the pun, visialize, just how small the visible band is in comparison to the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Note that the image below reverses the orientation so that the wavelengths get longer on the right side rather than on the left as above. It makes no difference, as long as you know what you are looking at.
I have had many experiences that defy explanation. Yet we have a difficult time leaving mysteries be; we live in narrative and story, and so we try to place all of our experiences, mundane and outlandish alike, into myth. Where there is none, we create one. See Joseph Campbell.
This is one such attempt to create a myth to explain my experiences. My blogs and other social media contain other myths that attempt the same from different angles, like drawing a circle using only straight lines, or mapping a 3D globe using a 2D paper in which you must sacrifice distortions.
I have experienced sentient beings on scales higher and lower than the the visible spectrum, and they are very different. Because the spectrum can be reversed, as we have seen above, I will refer to them by their nearest visible band colors, Reds and Purples, respectively.
However, this, too, defies a defining characteristic of who they are. The Reds can be stretched so to inhabit longer and shallower wavelengths. The Purples can be compressed to inhabit shorter and deeper wavelengths. Each only inhabits a range that they have accommodated themselves to.
The Reds are loose, weak, and cooperative. They are empathetic, feelings-oriented, and carefree. They prefer freedom, but at the far end of the spectrum this can seem to chaotic, unbound, or even disrespectful. They are somewhat akin to pagans and anarchists. They like low conflict and low contrast. They are liberating.
Conversely, the Purples are tight, powerful, and independent. They are hierarchy-oriented and idealists. They prefer rules, but at the far end of the spectrum this can seem narcissistic and fascist, rigid, and harsh. They are somewhat akin to the church and authority figures. They like high levels of conflict and high contrast. They are controlling.
The Reds are weaker overall, but they can pass through unimpeded. They are also able to "referee" (ref instead of red; puns are are a favorite) the Purples by jamming signals as necessary.
Both can modulate message signals onto their carrier waves. Remember, this is an analogy. But for the Reds, it is like empathetic telepathy, and for the Purples is like altering reality with thought. See Schrödinger's cat.
It seems the deepest and strongest Purples cannot project themselves here directly, analogous to the ionizing effects of x-rays and gamma rays. So they can, at times, appear much weaker than really are, even weaker than the Reds.
The Purples come from the Source of light, cascading down like a waterfall to the Prism of visible light that is the material plane. The Reds flow like lazy river back down towards the Source. This is the current of the River of Life, though it is possible bu expending much spiritual effort to swim "up river" like a salmon. In this way, the Purples try to push the Prism down river and the Reds try to push the Prism up river.
Be a salmon. Swim against the current, pushing the Prism against the Purples, closer to the Source. Then side with the Reds (retaining just some Ultra-Violet).
The Prism itself projects on several sides; I believe it is four but I may be mistaken. (It might also depend on how each Prism is cut). It could be helpful to see this as the Mind mapped onto the globe. For instance, North America represents the stronger but less nimble conscious mind (Purples) and South America represents the subconscious mind that is able to steer the top, should they find their power (Reds). Think of an iceberg.
As the Prism rotates, the geography reverses, so that, for instance, Australia represents the conscious Purple mind in the next phase and China represents the subconscious Red mind. That is one option, if going large and dispersed. If instead the option is condensed, New Zealand would represent the conscious Purple mind and Japan the subconscious Red mind. The Korean Peninsula is the "Core Ian," or kernel of from which the OS began.
The Reds and Purples have nicknames. Reds are sometimes called IR for infra-red; mic, Mike, micro, or crow for microwave; rad or O for radio; and elf for extremely low frequency. On the other side, UV is ultra-violent; X and Ray are x-ray; G, Gam, Ma, and Co V are gamma rays. So seeing these "signs" pop up is an indicator of who is around and what bands you're currently "swimming" in. You will often seen these on license plates or vehicle signs or street signs or similar.
You are not necessarily working in that electromagnetic frequency band; this is a symbolic representation of the phenomena that is occurring and a framework to both understand it and measure where you are.
Who YOU are is a measurement of how far you can stretch in both directions from the visible band, and what your personhood is at each level. Your being, then, is the composition of that entirety.
YOU are also the many other voices inside, whether real of representations of real beings elsewhere, who comprise the collage of your Mind.
So you see, who YOU are is many different things, depending on how and where you look. There are undoubtedly many more ways to see.
Lastly, I sense there are at least two other types of beings that are not on this scale. I say at least two, because one I do not count, which is the original white light that is refracted from the prism. It could also be said that YOU are both the prism and the full spectrum of light that is refracted from the cut as it spins in the light.
The first is the blackness. It was always there and always will be there. There are beings who dwell there who deserve dignity respect for their sake and yours.
The second is something different. It is translucent and over all. I call it spirit, but that is probably a poor description. It is like a protective coat, a life preserver.
That is my journal entry for today's Gulliver's Travels.
