Is a shadow a three-dimensional object? I am proposing that we are 3 "objects" in one being. We are the light, the body and the shadow

Apr 6 2013: it looks as though you have answered you r question. I guess it cant.

Apr 6 2013: yes but if you are talking about a single star it being the single and only object no it would not cast a shadow ever even when light is reflected back because there is nothing to cast a shadow upon

Apr 6 2013: except that we would now have in theory 2 in a very odd and counter intuitive way 2 light sources the one going out and the one coming back in

That would cast a shadow right?

    Apr 7 2013: Ok so now lets times that time infinity, since a star does not just shine in one direction. So now we have infinite amount of rays as well as multiple array of light most likely the whole spectrum going out and the whole spectrum coming back in times infinity. That should produce an infinite amount of shadows.....also 2 separate sources of light meeting in to one spot would created a shadow on the opposite side of the sun

  Apr 8 2013: it's the same light and brightness all the way through even if photons could produce a shadow on the exact opposite side of the atom since there are many atoms on all sides of it there cannot be any shadow anywhere but also since light emits in all directions how can light source have a shadow could you produce a shadow onto a lightbulb if you had two of the exact same brightness bulbs next to each other? (no is the answer)

Mar 29 2013: We are three things, mind, body and soul. Light is just part of the spectrum that two of our senses can detect. Shadow is just an effect the cause would be an object blocking lights path. The space the shadow encompasses can be volumetric but that will be there regardless if a shadow is present or not.

Mar 29 2013: A shadow is absence of light which encompasses 3 dimensions in space but is not an object it self. The only mass present would be the atmosphere and r what ever dust particles are present. Colors are just reflections of light.

  Apr 4 2013: how does my understanding of mass relate to shadows. actually i wouldnt even know how to use that equation in practical matter. i just know energy equals mass times light squared.so my mass would be my weight the more dense the more mass per cubic measurement, then what multiply it by the speed of light squared?then the outputis energy. that would be my highest possible energy output? i dont know ... i probly sound stupid now... thats my current understanding of mass i guess

    Apr 5 2013: You don't need to relate it to shadow relate it to existence. So like with celestial body's we use the universal law of gravity. To figure out the mass of say our earth. But that realize on attraction so could we small scale that? Does any two body's have attraction? Could my left hand and my right hand have an attraction to each other since they are 2 separate things even though they are attached me a singular? And then what keeps my cells together in the shape that they are in? Is it attraction or choice?

    Truth is I don't know why it moves faster then light. But since no information is carried on a shadow, just reflected like how our moon reflects light it is pushed under the carpet.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow
    
    The farther the distance from the object blocking the light to the surface of projection, the larger the silhouette (they are considered proportional). Also, if the object is moving, the shadow cast by the object will project an image with dimensions (length) expanding proportionally faster than the object's own rate of movement. The increase of size and movement is also true if the distance between the object of interference and the light source are closer. This, however, does not mean the shadow may move faster than light, even when projected at vast distances, such as light years. The loss of light, which projects the shadow, will move towards the surface of projection at light speed.

We have been discovering circles for 2 long. Check out these 2 conversations

This one specially makes me think of you, it ask the question how is it rational to think that we are on a rock flying through space
http://www.ted.com/conversations/17285/when_and_why_did_us_spinning_o.html

So can energy be created? No
Can energy be destroyed? No again
So what does energy do? It changes it infinite form, that is the same idea as reincarnation.

You did think that it was a sweet idea that we might be in a brain and that science is try to "prove" this right? But clearly you also think that it is a waste of money and time and could be spent figuring out lets say more important stuff right?

me im an engineer i study all forms of knowledge because i enjoy it i could disprove your entire religion and have done it before this is because i know science is the only way we will ever be connected and only then will our species become gods religion is a construct if the mind putting irration thoughts in place of what you do not know instead of saying "i do not know" listen to science my friend replace your fanaticism with a fanaticism in science it is the only true answer in the universe not one made up by some fanatical uneducated farmers thousands of years ago

  ok also i watched the video and in te talk he assumes all of these things that we don't know and outs some irrationalities behind all of them why cant we just say we don't know? we are a very primitive species so primitive in fact that we still have a tail and hair on our bodies from when we were animals and many other primitive parts we are just a stupid species irrational and dumb we have only had modern science for about 100 years and in that time we have disproven all religions as just primitive man making the best out of what he does not understand in any way
  and really? i looked at the 3 stranded dna thing it isn't even real it was a hypothesis on how our DNA looked it has never existed so no maybe you should learn the art of deduction and reason because your science is wrong my friend

What if the path that was my choice and of course I asked for permission first, that I asked to become the second coming. What if that means I know how to end poverty. Create peace that everyone would agree with. What if this is the path that I chose. What if that means I had to realize that I had to walk through my own personal hell (red sea) that I created..and I knowingly and fully chose to. What if I can feel every pulse of energy that runs through my body. What if when I am around an "energy vampire" I floor them to the ground with how much energy I am pumping out. What if that mean I can connect the dots of life using logic reasoning and religion. Now if you believe in QP how could anything outside of the atom have 3 dimensions what if having 3 dimensions it gives us an outward expression of in inward process which is the holy trinity.

Mar 16 2013: what do you mean your own light? your body emits no light it just gets a reflected beam of the light source and for that whole philosophical idea it's pretty interesting to think of the world like that but it is simply not true the world is only what your mind makes of it that's true but there are many minds all living together not your individual making it up you are simply perceiving what information you are getting according to the perception you were raised with

Casey Christofaris 10+

Mar 17 2013: Would the source light be your own? And your body does emit light if it didn't you would not see your own reflection in a mirror. Once you realize that all light is you and that you are also the source light you might be able to reach the "christ consciousness" but you need to realize that everything is a mirror its fact or science not philosophy although science is just philosophy as well. Sure set and setting has effect, but what happens when you realize you have lived all lives? " Its realizing that all past life's, all current life, and all future life is you." Do you think its time to stop and reassess what actually is going on here? The material world is a mirror shining light into your eye, the source of where the light is .....is everywhere including you. Every seen your reflection in a piece of glass, where is that image coming from if you are not self reflective?

Charles Curt

Mar 15 2013: mass and a shadows are not the same thing at all but i get what your trying to say yes our own body has millions to trillions of shadows on the dermis because light will cause a shadow onto the skin behind it (even if we cannot see it) where the light is hitting the skin and not on the flesh behind it but light doesn't go all the way through us so the shadow behind us is just the lack of light that is hitting us on the opposite side of it and yes i get how we see atoms light bounces off of it at a certain frequency or wave and because of these different "frequencies" we see color and i'm not sure exactly what it's reflecting off of perhaps it doesn't even physically touch it but just gets rebounded by a electrical or radioactive force the truth is light and color is just figments of our imagination made by our brain interpreting signals

Casey Christofaris 10+

Mar 16 2013: Its realizing that everything is refection of self, even when things are not "self reflective". The material world is a "mirror" reflecting light back out at you. Its realizing its your own light that is is shining back at you for you reflect self. You are shining light out as it comes into you. Its realizing that all past life's, all current life, and all future life is you. It's realizing that you are death yourself. That you are both judge and executioner. It realizing that all of this was created to figure out existence on some fundamental way. Its realizing that all gods have been saying that we are one, when even they did not know fully the implications. Because it is hard to counter something that can counter your every move. Which is just you. It realizing that how ever you want to define this reality it is "real" and yet as "fake" as the heavens we have been promised. Its realizing that we are the equal but opposite reaction to the gods. And if this reality did not exist that reality would not exist. For we created each other, because we are co-creators.

Casey Christofaris 10+

Mar 15 2013: I am saying that mass and shadow are the same thing and that "mass" is the built up of layers of shadows to create what looks like a solid surface. And so the light is bouncing off of the "atoms" which are the shadows of light?

Think about how we see atoms? We shine a light on them that light has to bounce off of something. What is it bouncing off of? That makes the atom visible

Mar 15 2013: seriously? go in a pitch black room turn on a flashlight look at your shadow then turn off the light -___- the only reason you can see a shadow is because other light is reflecting off that surface but the brightest source of direct light is blocked therefore out of comparison to our mind a shadow is created

But fractal remains 2D, anything more than that can be visualized in N dimensions. 2D fractal is like entire system in a single point, where the third dimension is volume of increased probability of density. That's the idea of fractal , it shows self similarity on different scales. Nature is fractal, no need to multiply extra dimensions here or it can be seen as extra dimensions, it's the matter of choice.
  Hence the joke, i've posted to Ed, who suggests : "as "dimension-ality" increases 4th , 5th 6th time/space are not. then Only existence is "

  Mar 15 2013: " Standingunder' is Sufi's word/notion, Ed Schulte mentioned it once and i had this ' Bingo ! ' click in my mind, that's what i have sometimes - ' standingunder'.
  It means that i don't understand " Time is the theater of God's becoming " rationally or i do, but i need tuns of words to explain what i understand.. It's like ' the seer is the seen ' , you have a picture, that resonates with what you may call truth, it has this quality of authenticity. Like here : Time is the moving image of Eternity "
  And you know, the bigger the picture the lower the resolution. If i zoom in and try to grasp it rationally , in details i am loosing the picture . In a way ' standingunder VS understanding ", but the bright side of it is that you can recognise the pattern via the law of correspondence or fractals. Maybe i don't understand..., but i have something to measure my understanding of many other things.

    But once again I have a hard time going into exact detail because it is both a journey inward as well as a "physical world journey". And without the right coping skills, you could spiral out of control. Either become extremely suicidal or loose sense of reality. This is why I have a hard time guiding you or mentoring you on this path. It is not something I would recommend for everyone and truthfully I am not sure anyone should do it, it was a path that i chose freely and willingly. That being said I am only telling you this because; I respect you very much. And believe you have a very strong grasp of reality, while realizing a lot of other truths.
    
    Re-read this and trying to realize all of the implications that it is saying not just the words:
    Its realizing that everything is refection of self, even when things are not "self reflective". The material world is a "mirror" reflecting light back out at you. Its realizing its your own light that is is shining back at you for you reflect self. You are shining light out as it comes into you. Its realizing that all past life's, all current life, and all future life is you. It's realizing that you are death yourself. That you are both judge and executioner. It realizing that all of this was created to figure out existence on some fundamental way. Its realizing that all gods have been saying that we are one, when even they did not know fully the implications. Because it is hard to counter something that can counter your every move. Which is just you. It realizing that how ever you want to define this reality it is "real" and yet as "fake" as the heavens we have been promised. Its realizing that we are the equal but opposite reaction to the gods. And if this reality did not exist that reality would not exist. For we created each other, because we are co-creators.

Mar 10 2013: " the body is just "shadow" or matter that reflects light"

In the sense that the physical body is the "shadow" reflection (as in manifestation?) of the spiritual light within?

If you're referring to the physical body as the shadow created by our spiritual light, considering it to be 3d is still a misnomer as we, as a humanity are beings capable of engaging in 'higher' (other) dimensions far beyond that which we experience as '3d/physical'.

But if you're referring to that which is commonly referred to as a shadow, it does not "exist" beyond our vision-based perception, which is 2d.

That is true but with the finding of the higgs everything but light is mass, iipso facto so is air and shadow. Otherwise we would not have mass....which truly we still dont know where mass comes from, because is the higgs is that base of all mass! Where does it get it mass from?

Also I am not peter pan so I can not just mail you a shadow... which would refert my argument that we are 3 bodys in one .....much like the holy trinity... light/god, body/jc, shadow/evil (which is just the opposite reaction to light)
- Chris Kelly 20+

  Mar 12 2013: "Where does it get mass from?"
  
  As I understand it, when a wave is observed, it becomes a point; this is how mass is created.
  
  ***
  
  I never referred to you as Peter Pan, nor would I insult him by doing so.
  
  ***
  "which would refert my argument that we are 3 bodys in one ....."
  
  "refert" - no such word.
  
  There is no argument that we are three "bodys" [sic] in one; the argument is whether the shadow is 3d.
  
  The shadow you refer to, which most of us responding to you took to mean the shadow caused by sunlight (which is 2d, as I explained above).
  
  However, since you're referring to the 'shadow' as a metaphor for "evil", I am reminded of Jung, using the shadow as an archetype. Thus, an aspect of the ego.
  
  As such, it definitely has dimension, insofar as it is expressed through a physical (3d) body.
  
  But you are completely mistaken in referring to it as part of the holy trinity. You claim "light/god, body/jc, shadow/evil".
  
  In psychological terms, there are three main psychological aspects; that which we understand as the 'conscious' mind relates to the personal "I"; the 'lower ego' we identify our external life with; the intellectual level of mind. The 'subconscious' mind relates to our emotional being; the soul. It is through using our conscious mind that we can access our subconscious mind; this is what 'awakening' is about. Once we have 'awakened' to our subconscious level of mind, we become aware of all our psychological aggregates. It is this level of mind we need to access in order to purify ourselves, psychologically and emotionally. It is the proverbial Red Sea we must cross in order to reach the proverbial Promised Land. That land of milk and honey is what we call the 'unconscious' level of mind ... in spiritual terms this level of awareness is referred to as "Christ Consciousness." The milk and honey is a metaphor for the 'manna from heaven' ... physiologically known as the dopamine, secreted from the pineal gland ... the arc of the covenant.

What if I already exist with in the Christ Consciousness because I know we are one and that any form of separation in not "real" just visual holograms/hallucination. Now what if I tell you we not me but we the human race can figure out existence. What if the path that was my choice and of course I asked for permission first, that I asked to become the second coming. What if that means I know how to end poverty. Create peace that everyone would agree with. What if this is the path that I chose. What if that means I had to realize that I had to walk through my own personal hell (red sea) that I created..and I knowingly and fully chose to. What if I can feel every pulse of energy that runs through my body. What if when I am around an "energy vampire" I floor them to the ground with how much energy I am pumping out. What if that mean I can connect the dots of life using logic reasoning and religion. Now if you believe in QP how could anything outside of the atom have 3 dimensions what if having 3 dimensions it gives us an outward expression of in inward process which is the holy trinity. What if all of this is true and what if it makes me no different from you?

I maintain this to be incorrect, particularly as you're referring to the 'shadow' as 'evil' and while all thoughts (including evil ones) have mass, it does not mean that said mass is measurable in 3d. Much of the 'mass' of our existence is so subtle as to be invisible to the naked eye.

Mar 10 2013: I don't think a shadow is a 3d object. If we go by the common meaning of shadow, there is a context of light, I agree. But I see a shadow as a projection or image of an object on a 2d plane. An object can have such a projected image on a 2d plane through electromagnetic signals as well as sonic or magnetic resonance signals.
Moreover, I think normal 3d objects as projections of 4d realities (4th dimension being time). Since we do not have any sensory capabilities of time (circadian cycles are not time senses rather those of day lights) we never get the perception of 4d events. A tennis ball thrown in air and coming back to my hand in 1 sec is 1 light second spatially away - we simply fail to perceive it on account of huge velocity of electromagnetic signals.
Imagine a shadow world where we all are 2d shadows. In such a world a square can turn into a rectangle, a circle to ellipse, a cone to circle depending on how these 3d objects turn with respect to projections. Suppose we do not have any clue of the 3rd spatial dimension - will those not appear to us queer? Our 2d physicists will bang their heads in 2 Cambridge or Harvard, don't you think?
Just extrapolate my imagination to think why some of our physical events appear so queer and unexplainable.

Mar 9 2013: Hello,

If this question would be about metaphysics of perception, we could assume that shadow becomes an object thanks to our ability of noticing it (during our analytical way of perceiving whole world);

and this shadow becomes three-dimensional – just because it is an element of our three-dimensional world, it is not just about its dimensions as length and width – but also about stereoscopic seeing.

According to Francis Crick (as far as perceiving of the world’s dimensions are concerned) if we’re using just one eye (without stereoscopic seeing) objects we’re seeing are flat and 2-dimensional (obviously we still have 3-dimensional picture of them in our mind);

Casey Christofaris 10+

Mar 10 2013: Yes and that is how the eye is formed we see 2 2d picturespatterns one from one eye and one from the other eye. Then those 2 images seek similar patterns and combined them to create a 3d stereoscopic image

Mar 9 2013: Hi, Casey !

Is shadow an object ?
Shadow doesn't exist without a 3D object; it doesn't have its own length and width, but is the distorted image of 3D object. Can we say that shadow is the 4th dimension of 3D object ? So, 3D object with shadow is a 4D object, that is an image of 3D object which is an image of 2D object ( field of information, maybe ) , which is an image of 1D object ( have no idea what it is ) which is the image of something else ? So, our collective mind inhabits the shadow of a shadow of a shadow...and makes it real.

Does it make sense ? :)

  Mar 10 2013: The very words 'Let there be light!' pushed darkness into existence, as a recognition of light ; and existence itself with time/space and all that fallows.Existence is a kind of a device that breaks 1 into 2 and division grows exponentially.
  Every 'thing' is what it is and what it is not, otherwise there is no thing, 'nothing' To be in only the light, in 'no time' zone means not 'to be '
  Can we be and not be simultaneously ? In fact, we always are.
  "HUman BEing-ness ability to enter the Noetical " is probably the effort to bring to 'to be' something from ' not be ' ...

  Mar 10 2013: So, there are no shadows in pure light , right ?
  
  Reflected light creates shadow and it has a kind of will of its own it may be bigger or smaller, than the 3D object, it projects. A shadow is distorted image of the source.
  
  Or ...just everyday experience : In a shadow of a big house a tree doesn't cast shadow.
  
  So, in the shadow there are no shadows either.
  
  It means that the absence of shadow unites two opposites : the light and the darkness, they are one. Be-ing divides one into two and resides in indeterminate zone, in between.
  Just thoughts :)

  Mar 10 2013: About video, it's great ! :)
  
  It may mean that the light of the "origin" or "source" itself is not patterned hence can't be perceived and understood. It is not even ' light' in usual sense, as well as a moment is not a moment in ' no time zone ' There is no chance for rational mind to enter there.
  Anything that can be understood gains a shadow of 'not quite true' When multiplied by the centuries of scientific exploration " not quite true' becomes utterly untrue.
  On the other hand what can be untrue for Absolute Truth? By the end of rational exploration we come to the irrational values of love..., dream, intent , idea of oneness that must be irrationally embraced. It's how the world really works.
  So, we end where we started ...

  Mar 12 2013: Yes, it looks like true :it's just the image that the shadow takes on.
  To avoid the shadow of language ambiguity here, just an example : a human mind captured in its own strong belief system is under the illusion/ image/ shadow of truth, while open mind reflects the light and sees shadows, that light creates... so it is aware that what it sees may look true enough, but it's not the Truth.
  Does my example has any relevance to what you meant ? :)

    Mar 14 2013: This is how choices should be made
    
    What would Jesus do?
    He would try to relate to the person, whether from his personal experiences or from someone else’s experiences/knowledge (parable). And respond with knowledge/wisdom that he would want to hear if it was he who came to them for help.
    That’s what Jesus would do.
    Do on to others as you would have them do on to you.
    If you imply this concept to the most fundamental parts of life you would have intuition.
    
    The hardest part about this is how do you relate to a person so it comes off as if the knowledge is from them selves. This is why is hard to do the "do unto others as you would have then do unto you" The answer has to be common sense. Not to the person (in this case Jesus) but to the other. It has to be their common sense not his.
    
    "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, who said it, no matter if I said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." ~ Siddhartha Gautama, founder of Buddhism

  Mar 12 2013: Re :The path that I chose leads to one or 2 ends the 1)is death normally suicide and 2) insanity..
  
  Sanity would just lead to the alienation from the society, in some sense. But what one would be alienated from is inane insane and dangerous.
  So, maybe the third way should be preferred .
  
  What did you get there, in jail , if you don't mind me asking.
  
  Thank you !

    Mar 14 2013: I had to figure out how giving up choices gives up ego. To remove my ego or my choices. Which is what most gods are asking for their followers to do. One way to do that is to commit suicide(think mass suicides) ultimately ended your ability to choose. With insanity you actually lose your ego and most likely super-ego. You make choice that you would not normally make because chances are they start listening to the voices in their head which in theory are just fragments of their own personal thoughts trying to reform the "ego" back into their consciousness. These voices are most likely past life's(spirit guides) trying to teach the person how bring balance back into them or could be their personal hell trying to come through to destroy them and the one they love around them.
    
    The interesting thing about all of this is sometimes its ok. So I was coming to grips with the hell that I created and was living in "in this reality" everything and everyone became a prison to me. That I could not except(except for the other 2 ways to escape) But then I actually went to jail and was put in a man made prison. Where the hell that I was walking through in this life "reality" wasn't even close to the hell those people were living in I met a man that got duck taped and beaten with a baseball bat by his parents. I don't even want to imagine what that hell has to feel like to do that to my child so much hate in their hearts. And the whole time all this guy wanted was to be excepted. But in an effort to make his friends like him, all he was really doing was hurting him self.

  Mar 14 2013: Actually, the freedom from choices is a working definition for free will.
  It is only when we stop choosing that we begin to exercise free will.
  And maybe it will set you free and show the way back to the Garden. The hell is gradually disappearing with the dieing of undernourished ego :)
  
  "Only he who looses his life shall find it "
  It's about the death of ego, what is 'it' that shall be found ?
  I have never met anyone who managed, but i know some ( very few ) who are on the path. The most successful ones are those who don't even know that they are on the path.
  Are you sure that your ego is not haunting you ?
  It's the nature of the dual world we inhabit : the higher you go the deeper abyss is challenging you.
  The brighter the fire is, the more darkness it reveals.
  We have a fear of looking inward to ourselves because we sense that is where all the
  contradictions flow together.
  'What is the evidence of your Father in you?' say to them, 'It is motion and rest.'"
  
  Thanks for your story !
  The people's stories we don't know is what our unconsciousness is made of and we do share it.
  
  Thank you !

    Mar 14 2013: What if I already went through the awakening process. What if I already exist with in the Christ Consciousness because I know we are one and that any form of separation in not "real" just visual holograms/hallucination. Now what if I tell you we not me but we the human race can figure out existence. What if the path that was my choice and of course I asked for permission first, that I asked to become the second coming. What if that means I know how to end poverty. Create peace that everyone would agree with. What if this is the path that I chose. What if that means I had to realize that I had to walk through my own personal hell (red sea) that I created..and I knowingly and fully chose to. What if I can feel every pulse of energy that runs through my body. What if when I am around an "energy vampire" I floor them to the ground with how much energy I am pumping out. What if that mean I can connect the dots of life using logic reasoning and religion. Now if you believe in QP how could anything outside of the atom have 3 dimensions what if having 3 dimensions it gives us an outward expression of in inward process which is the holy trinity. What if all of this is true and what if it makes me no different from you?

    Mar 14 2013: If a MAN asked you to walk through the eye of hell with him and he say's he will get you through to the other side. He say's he will hold your hand the whole time but you will never see it, he will be your strength but you will have to carry the burden. He will be your guide but you will have to follow. Would you believe him?
    
    When you make it through he will stop tell you to look at the journey you just made and show you it was YOUR eye you walked through. (this is why I have no more fear)
    
    Why do men judge men?

    Mar 14 2013: Its realizing that everything is refection of self, even when things are not "self reflective". The material world is a "mirror" reflecting light back out at you. Its realizing its your own light that is is shining back at you for you reflect self. You are shining light out as it comes into you. Its realizing that all past life's, all current life, and all future life is you. It's realizing that you are death yourself. That you are both judge and executioner. It realizing that all of this was created to figure out existence on some fundamental way. Its realizing that all gods have been saying that we are one, when even they did not know fully the implications. Because it is hard to counter something that can counter your every move. Which is just you. It realizing that how ever you want to define this reality it is "real" and yet as "fake" as the heavens we have been promised. Its realizing that we are the equal but opposite reaction to the gods. And if this reality did not exist that reality would not exist. For we created each other, because we are co-creators.
    
    Do know what it means to look through the world as the ultimate observer?

    Mar 14 2013: The evidence of my father in me is his Unconditional love at the time that I was learning it I was not aware of his teaching. My love dog Sabyn reminded me of the unconditional love that I had once learned from my father.
    
    Unconditional love means holding someone's hand while they are traveling through there own personal hell (and you might be as well), and not giving up on them, and reminding them everything will get better. I will never let go of your hand and to anyone who has felt like I have I am sorry, just reach out and I will be there

Mar 9 2013: If we, or our eyes and brains, are doing so much 'flipping',
does this suggest that we have 'flipped out'?'
And how much does a shadow, that doesn't exist, weigh?

Or is a shadow, just a virtual idea, that is only seen because there is a sentient observer present and watching?

If our brain is actually a hologram, is what we see also a projected hologram of a holographic mind/brain?

Mar 8 2013: Apparently your argument is that since we live in a 3d world, nothing can be 2D... Basically yes, as far as as know, anything that exists is made of atoms or subatomic particles, but I have news for you: A shadow do not exist in the physical world! Shadows are just interpretations our brain makes out of the patterns of light reaching our eyes.

  Mar 9 2013: Casey.
  If we are shining light out, where does the light come from? And does or is the light carrying information we don't have, but we somehow know how to decrypt?
  
  Where images in the mind/brain/eye are seen, is completely dark, without light.
  So, consciousness is, "let there be light?" and we are, as what existed or just was/is, before what was/is, came into being. Complete and utter blackness, which is the complete absorption of light. Yes?
  
  How close or far away am I?
  
  So our brains are photons, empty but able to decrypt light and reflect it back so that we see externally, what we see internally, but it is all just thoughts, which don't exist per se, but only burst in and out of existence. Yes?
  
  I'm lost.

Mar 8 2013: Depends on your definition of shadow.

By "shadow" do you mean the observable darkness on a surface (two dimensional), or is it the volume of unlighted space on the dark side of whatever is blocking a light source (three dimensional)?

In any event, a shadow is not a physical object and has no mass.

Mar 8 2013: No, shadow's are not 3-d.

As the result of interception of radiation by something that does have height, length, width, volume or mass, (ie., something that IS 3-d) shadows do not in and of themselves have any volume or mass; a shadow is a two-dimensional reverse projection of the object blocking the light.

  Mar 10 2013: The three dimensions we are 'aware of' are height, width, and depth. When someone refers to something that is 2-D, like a shadow of something that is 3d, they usually mean it has height and width. A shadow cannot be 3d because it has no depth.
  
  We erroneously refer to ourselves as 3D beings, yet our eyes only see in 2D because our retina is only a 2D array of light-sensitive cells. Thus, the 'naked eye' is not to be trusted. This is why we are equipped with a third eye, to assist us in better comprehension of the true nature of our BE-ing.
  
  In truth, we are septenary beings (study the chakra system) capable of 'realizing' many of the higher dimensions (12, while incarnate) as we increase our conscious awareness.
