Reference to DNA as "colored light patterns" in Seneca oral literature:

Great Mistery talked to our hearts and decreed that Earth would be the mother of countless life-forms that would manifest physically when the time came. Swenio then called forth all of the colored light patterns that would be a part of the Earth Mother´s body. These future manifestations would live as thoughts inside her form until the time of their births into physicality.
