Fluorescent Lights: Energy Efficient, BUT...

By Plairen

Fluorescent lights, which are now being advertised as a simple way to save electricity, are actually a form of energetic pollution of our environment. Studies made by Dr. James DeMeo published in The Orgone Accumulator Handbook reveal that the light given by fluorescents induces a state of hyper-activity in bio-organisms. For instance, when fluorescent "full spectrum" lights are used to grow plants, the leaves grow large and disproportionate to the roots and stems. After a short time the roots of these plants begin to mutate, starting to resemble the roots of plants that had been affected by large doses of radioactivity.

A bioelectric comparison was made of a philodendron which was both exposed to and not exposed to fluorescent light. The readings, both were taken with the philodendron enclosed in a totally dark box, showed dramatic differences. When no fluorescent light was on nearby, the voltage of the plant was a fairly level line on the chart. When a fluorescent light was turned on the voltage went all over the chart, and the average (life energy) level started to decline.

When the same experiment was done with a television in place of the fluorescent light, the results were the same. Fluorescent lights and televisions both have similar radio wave emissions.

John Ott in his book Health and Light documented studies that showed aggressive tendencies among pet minks and fish were eliminated by removing fluorescent lights from their environment. In further studies, aggression in children was found to be connected with regular exposure to fluorescent lights and televisions. Some teachers have found that classroom behavior is much improved by turning off the fluorescent lights. (Hopefully studies will be soon be conducted to determine if reducing or eliminating fluorescent lights and television will help alleviate attention-deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) within children—and thereby eliminate prescriptions for Methylphenidate, also known as Ritalin.)

Sensibly, since the human eye has evolved to use sunlight, the most healthy form of electric lighting is that which most closely duplicates the light of the sun. Unfrosted (because the frosting cuts out some of the spectrum) incandescent bulbs are very close to the sun’s spectrum and are the most healthy lights on the market today.

Future research into non-fluorescent and energy-efficient lighting may lead to more extensive use of the recently developed white light emitting diodes (WLED). Unlike the common incandescent bulbs, WLEDs operate without a filament. They also do not burn out and can operate for a hundred times longer than an incandescent bulb. They are also more efficient than incandescents in that they do not waste additional energy in the emission of heat.

A Spiritual Parallel
by Gabriel of Sedona

In a spiritual sense there are true and false lights that the truth seeker must discern along the many paths of spiritual discovery. Some teachers may seem to shine brightly; however, like the fluorescent energy, they will emanate damaging thought forms which may seem illuminating at the moment but lead to confusion and darkness.
