A Seven-Level World View

World View: It was Light

The sentence "It was light" now appears for the second time. First when entering the first level, the binary code. Here we have a religious context in order to use the spectral lines as a metaphor for the diversity of religions; there we have a scientific resp. philosophical context to show how the binary code can be derived from nothing and light resp. zero and one.

Despite different meanings, but because of the identity of the appearance, I would like to repeat the description of the entry into the first level:

The light arises from nothing.

It seems impossible that something can emerge from nothing. Therefore, you can help yourself to imagin something out of nothing, as is the case in the Photoshop graphics program, for example, to create a layer from the background. The nothingness in the sense of a background becomes something and thus equals to the light arising from the background.

In the following, an idea is to be offered of how everything can be derived from nothing and light. To make this easier, nothing and light should be considered as a metaphor for all conceivable dichotomies:

• Energy vs Matter
• Mind vs Matter
• Electron vs Positron
• Particle vs Wave
• Plus vs Minus

The further you change from a macro to a micro perspective, the easier it is to imagine how the universe can be explained by a combination of numerous dichotomies. Certainly this is an extreme simplification, which is difficult to reconcile with our imagination. But that the explanations of elementary physics are getting more and more complex is probably due to the fact that the researchers are looking for acknowledgment from the society in order to generate financial resources. In the sense of a limit value analysis, these diverse dichotomies should ultimately be reduced to nothing and light. If the micro perspective is conceived in this way, then it also applies to the macro perspective resp. the universe.

Since light is of such importance for understanding the origin of the world, it can be integrated into a story of genesis and embedded into a religious narrative.

IT WAS LIGHT.
