I'd love to see how the red bounced back, I can almost imagine it but know I'm not quite seeing how it did that. I think I could contemplate that and see a verity of different metaphors .
One interesting one I had as a result of deep feverish mental pondering of the cosmology of the universe went something like:
I saw a black void or black hole (it was more of a black sphere), suddenly, in but a moment, it became an infinitely radiant star of blindingly brilliant light. The understanding being offered me was it represented the Logos, and as I watched I noticed that the light, even though it was infinitely bright at the base or source of the star, attenuated or reduced in brilliance as the rays stretched out into the void surrounding it (outer darkness if you will). And as the light stretched out into the void and attenuated, I saw that the color changed as it did so. The colors were consonant with the rainbow/density spectrum. So on the outer edges of the light it was red, and slightly closer was orange, and slightly closer was green and so on, until the light was brilliant white at the source. I also noticed there was a point at which the light could attenuate or stretch no further (red ray) and when it reached this point of twilight, it essentially bounced back and began its path backwards toward the center of the star again.
My only very superficial one that is similar but not as deep was when I was struggling to understand infinity. I saw a fractal spiralling into and out of many directions. Each spiral large or small could spiral endlessly getting smaller and smaller or bigger and bigger and was exactly what each other piece of the infinite fractal was. Hard to explain but I know longer struggle to believe in infinity.
