The light is another representation of that energy. Of course, 2000 years ago folks wouldn't know to call it electro-magnetic energy or exotic matter. They wouldn't understand the science of it. Just like we understand cell phones now, but if we dropped one back in time 2000 year it would seem pretty magical, even mystical to them.
We've seen why it's dangerous. We've seen multiple examples of what it can do. Just look at the hatch. And that's only one tiny example.

Dude, no, that's not it.
Watch the clip that Chiefnj linked. The Mother clearly states that "a little bit of this light" exists in ALL men. She also states that men will try to take it but if they try, the light could go out everywhere.
We aren't made of electromagnetic energy.
