Walter Russell was an early-20th-century thinker who had a really interesting model of the universe built around polarity. Apparently Tesla reviewed his work and told him that people are not ready for it.
In his view, the universe is fundamentally made of light, and matter isn’t a separate substance at all. Instead, matter is just light that has slowed down and organized itself into standing wave patterns. It’s condensed vibration.
The way he explains creation is through a rhythmic interaction between two kinds of motion. One is electric or radiative motion, which moves outward and expresses energy - something a lot like what we see in stars. (Aka Yang ☯️) The other is magnetic or compressive motion, which pulls inward and concentrates energy - more like gravity wells. (Aka Yin ☯️)
Russell thought the whole universe works through this back-and-forth cycle between expansion and compression of light. Stars would represent the outward, radiating pole of that process, while gravitational centers represent the inward pole where light folds back into concentration and eventually becomes matter.
He also believed that everything in the universe was the universal consciousness, which is made up of light and that what we experience as matter is formed holographically in this single consciousness. It’s complicated stuff. I’ve been trying to find other people to dissect it with.
This was an awesome piece. Are you familiar with the work of Walter Russell?
I am not - do tell?

interesting, I see the relevance. Reminds me of this quote:
"Matter is spirit moving slowly enough to be seen" - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
It's important to have agreeable expressions of things.
