Spirituality as a Spectrum

An excerpt from my latest post at Communitas Collective:

"Did you know that color is actually created by the spectrum of visible light, as it is absorbed or reflected by an object we are looking at? An apple doesn’t really have the property of being red; it absorbs the entire spectrum of light except red, and reflects the red back, so our eye sees red.

"As human beings, we only see a very limited portion of the spectrum of light; animals, birds or insects see some portions of the spectrum that we do not see. (Interesting note: It is theorized that the spectrum a species sees is the determined by their food source(s), i.e. bees see ultraviolet, because pollen glows in ultraviolet light.) Humans can be assisted to see other sections of the spectrum, such as infrared and ultraviolet, but we cannot see them with the naked eye. This, of course, limits the way we see color, and on some levels we are at a color disadvantage."
