The '''beings of light''', '''energy beings''', or '''light beings''' are yet another group of non-corporeal entities within the [[paranormal]] and [[ufology]] lore. They could be the polar opposite of the [[shadow people|Shadow People]] since they are anything but sinister. There is no general agreement about their place of origin. They often hail from the [[Andromeda Galaxy|Andromeda Galaxy]] — because as in ''[[Star Trek]]'', what comes from there must be weird for some reason — if not from higher dimensions.<ref name="awakvib">"[https://web.archive.org/web/20170613181857/http://awakenedvibrations.com/post/145012906460/what-are-light-beings What Are Light Beings?]".

Although some spiritual people regard [[humans]] as "beings of light,"<ref>[http://www.ascensionnow.co.uk/we-are-beings-of-light.html Ascension Now].</ref> such a view is more closely related to belief in the [[Soul|immortal soul]] than to belief in the [[Extraterrestrials|otherworldly]] type of light being. Much like [[Pleiadians]] and the {{wpl|Steven Universe|Crystal Gems|,}} light beings too are sometimes claimed to protect the Earth from fictional, invasive forces such as [[Reptilians]]. Energy beings can be contacted through [[astral projection]], [[Dream interpretation|dreaming]], and [[meditation]].<ref name="awakvib"/> Some of the information they have shared is just painfully obvious advice, such as using electric cars to reduce pollution in cities.<ref>Collier, Alex (July 2010).

==Physical impossibility==
Something made out of "pure energy/light" is impossible by definition. [[Energy]] is a measurable, transferrable property of physical systems as the ability to do {{wpl|Work (physics)|work|.}} How much energy a system has is a function of other measurable properties such as frequency, [[mass]], {{wpl|Potential energy|relative position|,}} speed, temperature, etc. [[Energy]] has no proper independent existence, as [[matter]] and [[radiation]] do. In contrast to this, [[woo]] treats it like a substance that can take a "pure" form and compose complex systems such as living beings. Saying light composes them makes no sense either. [[Photon|Photons]] do not behave like [[Molecule|molecules]] at all. Those of [[Light|visible wavelengths]] are usually emitted by [[matter]] at high temperatures, which is unable to serve as a substrate for [[life]]. More plausibly, they could be {{wpl|Bioluminescence|bioluminescent}} organisms that light up their tissues with enzymatic reactions and generate "cold light". However, no source describes them as such. In short, "beings of pure energy" is an idea from '''science fiction''' — one which wouldn't work in the real world.
