No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light.
Since the lamp of the body is the eye, a source of spiritual light, and since the body is likely the house here mentioned, there is an interesting concept here.
In the Greek, it is οἱ εἰσπορευόμενοι. It is translated as "those entering".
Into where is the entry? Into the body-house.
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness.
Who then are "those who enter"?
Whoever they are - and they might be a kind of spirit permitted and desirable to be drawn into the body - they use the spiritual light of the lamp-eye to see inside the body.
Of course, there are unclean spirits that can exit and return to enter the body-house.
When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
Then "those entering" may be clean spirits which are supposed or allowed to cycle out and in to and from the body in a sort of spiritual ecology.
What they are though, is still a mystery to me.
What's known is that:
- They are plural. There is more than one that are supposed to enter the body-house. Whether they enter sequentially or simultaneously plural is unknown.
- They use the lamp-eye to see.
If the lamp-eye produces signals for streams in possibility space, that do not occur in physical space but can be based upon Q-configs of physical Qualia, then the spirits who use a lamp-eye's light might be from variant worlds in possibility space or the multiverse. If this is so, it is interesting that one universe might send signals for the variants of another world to use and navigate by, whether they enter the physical world or not. Perhaps the body-house may act like a hub whereby spirits operating in other universes may navigate in and affect this one, something like magnets on two sides of a wall separating universes. The magnets may not cross the wall, but may guide each other by the shared EM field through the wall. Could a lamp-eye send signals like that magnetic field? If a body-house can house imaginary structures like Jhanic Masses and Jhanic Volumes, then perhaps the pressures of those could be shared across universes, even if Qualia and "coarse energy" or energy that is extant due to discrete snapping to energetic quantum levels, are not shared directly. If someone imagines something, could the variation of that imagined object or entity, in another universe or world, share pressure with the imaginer?
In Chinese spiritual legends, qi is a type of spirit which can be drawn into the body and used for spiritual cultivation, empowered techniques, and self-enhancement like strength, stamina, and longevity of life. Perhaps there's a relation.
If the breath is another natural medium for such exchange of spirits, then perhaps it is related to "those entering"?
