Some of this is pretty "hippie" soundin. I saw Steve miller as well, and I'm in the same boat as Infidel
but here goes ......
Nothing is more amazing than the highly improbable fact that we exist. There are numerous things that in the past were considered "hogwash", that are fact now. There are too many to get into now. You know what I'm talkin about.
Consider that from light, air, water, basic minerals from within the crust of the earth, and the 3 billion year old information contained within the nucleus of one diploid zygote cell, the human body is formed. Some would say it's a miracle. What are the chances ?
Given the sheer insanity that our earthly existence is partially formed from sunlight, and requires the continual consumption of condensed sunlight, ie photosynthesis, in the form of food, it may not sound so farfetched that our bodies could emit light.
Could be.
The human body emits biophotons,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biophoton also known as ultraweak photon emissions (UPE), with a visibility much lower than the sensitivity of our naked eye. While not visible to us, these particles of light (or waves, depending on how you are measuring them) are part of the visible electromagnetic spectrum (380-780 nm) and are detectable via sophisticated modern instrumentation.
Maybe some animals can see, or sense these waves, or light as well.
A biophoton is an elementary particle or quantum of light of non-thermal origin in the visible and ultraviolet spectrum emitted from a biological system. They are believed to be produced as a result of energy metabolism within our cells, or more formally as a by-product of biochemical reactions in which excited molecules are produced from bioenergetic processes.
Ya never know, I sure don't, but what I do know is there is something about the HECS that makes the animals I've encountered act "differently".
Maybe it's just me.
