Beer Lambert Law

There is an empirical relationship that relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material through which the light is traveling. Wikipedia has the above illustration of light passing through an object and coming out the other side. In the diagram, the light is at its strongest before it passes through the object. If you look closely at the object you can see light being left behind in the object and coming out dimmer on the other end.

The law tends to break down at very high concentrations, especially if the material is highly scattering. If the light is especially intense, nonlinear optical processes can also cause variances.

Taken to its extreme, mankind has the ability to scatter light or absorb it. We have a tendency to selectively absorb, reflect or transmit certain light frequencies. We might absorb all the colors of the spectrum except violet, for instance, thus, not allowing ourselves to experience all parts of the rainbow, all parts of that beautiful light.

Major religions reflect upon the light that we all seek.

We depend upon each other and we gain the light we seek through this dependence. Not the complete quotient, but enough to affect our beings in our daily lives. Anyone thinking they can go through life being completely self-sufficient is deluding themselves for we are all interdependent, interconnected, and related in ways we can hardly fathom.

Every man can unfold the latent spiritual powers within him, sweeten that dormant germ, and attain to the status of one of the world's Helpers. The Helper's are those that help others see the light by advancing peace and prosperity for all. This is the true sense of following the Christ and entering into the Kingdom of Heaven or finding the "Light".

The Second Coming will occur when conditions upon earth have progressed to where valuing all mankind comes first. Purification of the heart, by the practice of altruism, truthfulness, kindness and the other virtues so often called Christian but which are common to religions in general must be common place worldwide.

The Teacher(Jesus), like all such Teachers(Buddha, Mohammad, the apostles etc.), was pointing out the "Path" or the "Way."

It is evident that the "Coming of Christ" means the awakening of the Christ spirit in humanity and that he will not come in the rushing wind but in the still small voice of all mankind.
