    Staying in touch. Physical contact with sources of light.

    Light energy is a physical extension of its material origin.
    Consequently all visual observers are in physical contact with whatever they see. The specialized tissue of the eye - the retinae - is literally touched by and receptive to visible light, which is of course projecting from and continuous with its source. This fact underscores the literal unification of self - the physical contact - with everything in sight, whether it is seen or not.

    (George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

    Re: Staying in touch. Physical contact with sources of light.

    This is true. The eye even has three proteins that rotate according to the amount of primary colors present to give us our complete color spectrum.

    There is a tricky question often proposed about how light is seen in dreams when the inside of the head is dark, but I suppose when we are awake this is the same case. Our "light" seems to be made by us, even without external light energy, as in dreams.

    Anyway, something to think about. What is lit and what is light?
