Science is getting there..let me say that the spiritual light is EM radiation of the zero point energy continuum... As to what science knows about the zpe at this stage I have discussed on another thread so let me repeat it again for you...

Now get this...the vacuum of space, the zero point energy, the aether, and dark energy...are all terms that refer to some energy that occupies omnipresent space. At this stage let us not concern ourselves with the emotions associated with the names....a rose by any other name imho....but the present knowledge. Zero point energy is the term being used in scientific experiments and given that military research these days is generally miles ahead of the academic curriculum...I will quote from a patent paper by a military researcher, a brief description as to what we know about the aether....

The existence of zero point electromagnetic radiation was discovered in 1958 by the Dutch physicist M. J. Sparnaay. Mr. Sparnaay continued the experiments carried out by Hendrik B. G. Casimir in 1948 which showed the existence of a force between two uncharged parallel plates which arose from electromagnetic radiation surrounding the plates in a vacuum. Mr. Sparnaay discovered that the forces acting on the plates arose from not only thermal radiation but also from another type of radiation now known as classical electromagnetic zero point radiation. Mr. Sparnaay determined that not only did the zero point electromagnetic radiation exist in a vacuum but also that it persisted even at a temperature of absolute zero. Because it exists in a vacuum, zero point radiation is homogeneous and isotropic as well as ubiquitous. In addition, since zero point radiation is also invariant with respect to Lorentz transformation, the zero point radiation spectrum has the characteristic that the intensity of the radiation at any frequency is proportional to the cube of that frequency. Consequently, the intensity of the radiation increases without limit as the frequency increases resulting in an infinite energy density for the radiation spectrum. With the introduction of the zero point radiation into the classical electron theory, a vacuum at a temperature of absolute zero is no longer considered empty of all electromagnetic fields. Instead, the vacuum is now considered as filled with randomly fluctuating fields having the zero point radiation spectrum. The special characteristics of the zero point radiation which are that it has a virtually infinite energy density and that it is ubiquitous (even present in outer space) make it very desirable as an energy source. However, because high energy densities exist at very high radiation frequencies and because conventional methods are only able to convert or extract energy effectively or efficiently only at lower frequencies at which zero point radiation has relatively low energy densities, effectively tapping this energy source has been believed to be unavailable using conventional techniques for converting electromagnetic energy to electrical or other forms of easily useable energy. Consequently, zero point electromagnetic radiation energy which may potentially be used to power interplanetary craft as well as provide for society's other needs has remained unharnessed.
So there is something called zpe that occupies the same space as was hypothesized for the aether, so there is no reason at this stage not to allow that this zpe is the long theorized aether...but again I say to you that I am happy to drop using the term aether and use zpe instead if that is what you prefer. The thing is if you understand what is being said about the zpe, is not only is it omnipresent...it appears to be have infinite energy power content.....and is a vibrational frequency continuum with EM wavelengths down to the infintesimal...so the dark energy must be a part of this continuum, and presuming spiritual energy also to be vibrational...it must also be a part of this continuum..
If you prefer to believe that the omnipresent reality represented by the concept of zpe (which I sometimes refer to as dark energy, aether or spirit ) can't be proven or is not relevant, then that is fine too...no bother for me just there is nothing more to be said...
