March 15, 2015: Artificial Light – Dave Neuhausel

In our world today we are immersed in artificial light – light bulbs, smart phones, phone chargers, television, little LED lights on our power cords … it is everywhere. And we want it. But what we fail to see is artificial light has an adverse effect on us as humans. We see it as a cure for the dark, but it is not as great as we might think ... because nothing can do what the sun does. Which makes me think about one who masquerades as light. One who tries to appear as though he is one who does what the True Light does … but he doesn’t.

How often do we, in an attempt to flee the darkness, run after artificial light. It’s become so easy for us we just flip a switch. What we fail to see is that artificial light can and does have detrimental effects on us as human beings. It messes with our rhythms, our “bio-clock” and even effects our endocrine systems. Because we weren’t meant to live by this kind of light – we were made to live in a rhythm of both light and dark.
