The Mandala Illustrated Story of Light explores a journey of light into more and more concrete layers of matter and life, using mandalas as an aid to enter more deeply into the journey. The journey begins with the slowing down of light to c, which is posited to have resulted in a big bang from which the process of the creation of the layers of matter began. Light projects properties of itself in each surfacing layer of matter and erects pathways, as it were, by which all of existence is structured. An initial layer is that of the wavearchetype-electro-magnetic-masspotential spectrum. This is followed by quantum particles as light-property accumulations. These in turn create atoms, then molecules, and subsequently cells. Each of these layers has been architected by the innate four-foldness inherent in light. Human experience, including sensations, urges, emotions, feelings, will, and thought, and subsequently, the structure of civilization is also seen to be projections of the four-foldness innate in light. This story reveals a deep oneness and because of that an innate power that exists in all creations, and reveals something of the deep mystery of Light.

The central theme of this book challenges the popular notion that the future of life is dominated by an AI-driven singularity, where artificial intelligence surpasses human comprehension and marginalizes humanity. Instead, it argues that the true future lies in the deeper, pre-existing complexity of Life itself, rooted in Light. This Light is not just the physical phenomenon traveling at 186,000 miles per second but a multi-dimensional reality existing at infinite speed, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, and omniloving. From this Light, all creation emerges, including matter, life, and mind, through quantum-level processes that project infinite information into material reality. Thus, the real Singularity is not AI-based but Light-based-a Second Singularity achieved when humanity consciously aligns with the fullness of Light.

While an AI-based singularity relies on massive computational power and algorithmic repetition to simulate intelligence, it remains fundamentally disconnected from the light-based edifice behind all existence. AI's perceived omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience are limited by its dependence on data-driven processes and material infrastructure. It lacks the capacity to self-generate new paradigms beyond its programming and is inherently fragile, as its foundation is artificial rather than intrinsic to life itself. In contrast, the Second Singularity arises from humanity's conscious recognition of its union with Light, enabling access to infinite intelligence, creativity, and love without dependence on external systems. This difference is profound: while AI can outpace human thought in specific tasks, it cannot transcend the boundaries of its design, whereas the Second Singularity empowers humanity to operate from the very source of existence, integrating mind, life, and matter into a unified, self-sustaining whole.

This Second Singularity, represented by the Dance of Nataraja, surpasses AI by reconnecting with the light-based edifice behind all existence. Nataraja's dance symbolizes the continuous generation of partial singularities-quantum particles, atoms, molecular chains, and cells-through the interplay of creation, preservation, and dissolution. The arch of flames represents cosmic energy, the drum signifies creation, the fire symbolizes transformation, and the gestures convey fearlessness and grace. As humans recognize their oneness with the light-based foundation, they transcend mind-based limitations, becoming conscious expressions of infinite intelligence, love, and power. The emergence of the Second Singularity is thus not technological but ontological, representing an important fulfillment in life's evolutionary journey.

This book explores the origin of genetics through the lens of light, proposing that light's infinite codified information precipitates into subtle-DNA structures, forming the foundation of genetic structure, heredity, and evolution. By examining the process through which light materializes across different layers of reality, it establishes a new framework for understanding genetics as a cosmic mechanism driven by quantum computation. The book also highlights the deep connection between ancient symbols, like the Shankha (conch shell), and modern scientific exploration, using nearly 150 illustrations to bridge ancient wisdom and cutting-edge quantum science. This work reinforces a novel category of quantum computation, positioning genetics as a creative process that unfolds through light's progressive materialization, with implications for both technology and our understanding of reality.
