- I find that the intellect can only carry one just so
far- the tendency is for intellect to operate along limited lines of evidence
and logic, and intellect has the failing that it does not adequately integrate
all aspects of reality- by definition, it has to pick and choose just which
things to look at, which things will fit the pre- existing sensory conditioned
worldview of the intellect holder ( its systematics ). That is the process
by which intellect works- NOT A BAD DEAL now, just insufficient.
-
- One of the only ways by which to most effectively integrate
one's conscious and subconscious awarenesses of reality is to MEDITATE.
-
- Frankly, meditation is what gets most of the credit for
my having been at all hopeful or capable of opening up to other views and
gradually shedding my former ones.
-
- Hierarchically driven societies such as ours do so very
strongly socialize people into the ways that are acceptable to the maintaining
of the leadership systems- the exercise of rulership and power, well lubricated
by the workings of the money system, merely serve to perpetuate themselves
along with the huge social problems that such narrow inefficient systems
fail practically to address, almost by definition in the case of American
Capitalism.
-
- Raw Capitalism and unlimited ' free markets ' work best
where a people have the OPTION of obtaining their basic needs from the
land whereupon they live- trading at levels of economy above basic creature
needs- that is why American Capitalism evolved when it did IN ONE OF THIS
WORLD'S ONLY FRONTIER COUNTRIES at that time, IN THE FIRST PLACE ! Once
capitalist abuses and the resulting social imbalances took hold ' back
East ', people were still free to move farther into the frontier, ' Go
West.....'. Which is exactly WHAT they did, and WHY THEY WENT. Except that
today there is no more American ' frontier ' worth mentioning, and the
planet as a whole is fast losing frontier lands as well.
-
- Thus, Socialism is almost mandatory for the workings
of a ' healthy ' centralized society ( maybe an oxymoron itself ).
-
- The centralized distribution of resources in attempting
to supply human needs IS EXACTLY WHAT WE HAVE NOW- but more than any other
system, money and finance in Capitalism is a very inaccurate representation
of true wealth and economic status. ( That is why nations around the world
are quickly adopting the new debt- free EURO- currency as their standard
for International Trade. ) Business is essentially a competitive game that
is played by adult humans who we forget are really overgrown children.
And such children display little if any sensitivity to the plight of their
fellow human beings who are lacking basic creature needs and human rights.
They have not a clue the harm being perpetrated in the name of ' system
', a collective blindness eagerly indulged in by the most influential members
of the ruling and wealthy caste. Any country overseas who resists the exploitation
of their own nation's resources by Corporate America as endorsed by U.S.
foreign policy is hysterically libeled and so conveniently labeled ' TERROR
'.
-
- That is why there is now occurring a dramatic dovetailing
together of many ' liberal ' minded forces and movements in American society
( catalyzed by the New Age )- people are slowly becoming aware, or are
being made aware, of a substantially different view of reality than the
one we were allowed under the typical Anglo- Saxon Culture we inherited
from our forefathers. Imperial Anglo- Saxon Culture works only for those
who can use up resources locally ( and then apply those to playing the
system ), and then are free to move on to the next region to be victimized.
It ' works ', that is, unless or until the tribes wake up and resist, as
the Moslems do today, or until the most accessible resources of the globe
are simply used up once and for all time. We show almost no sign of changing
our course under the Fundamentalist Bush Cabinet. So, we can expect more
and mounting wars, and escalating social problems- a national dynamic that,
historically, typically never puts the brakes on of its own volition- and
so collapse may be the only possible outcome. There has never yet been
an Empire that saw its way to change course once its decline set in. EXCEPT
to keep on keeping on doing the same old same old...
-
- The goal of ultimate security, perfect peace, is the
very thing we drive away from ourselves by clinging to the illusion that
we can have it all at the expense of those who shall and do end up with
nothing- the REAL WORLD JUST DOES NOT OPERATE THAT WAY. Not for long.
-
- Native Peoples worldwide have known these things FOR
MILLENNIA- that is the precise REASON why they were not interested in developing
these artificial materialistic systems for themselves- they could have-
they chose not to do so- then and today- their close contact with the Natural
World kept their societies ever in present awareness and detailed remembrance
of how the world really operates ( Natives call it A- Walk- In- The- Woods
)- but when the time came for the institution of mono- crop agriculture
to solidify that way of separation from the natural cycles and ecologies
in the land, the lessons taught by the lands were cut down along with the
clear- cut trees, whose sacrifice made way for yet more agriculture and
irrigation and the human overpopulation IT CAUSED !
-
- And so you have it, in a nutshell, functionally speaking,
just how this system got started AS a narrow, intellectually driven system,
and some insights on how it perpetuates itself, as if it all were like
an independently living thing in its own right.
-
- It just goes to show that we need to be very careful
what we pray for, or ask for. These kinds of things DO have the limited
capacity to take on a life all their own, as is suggested by Quantum Mechanics.
-
- Now, there are those of us who believe that it is likely
that the earth itself, as a planet, obtains a kind of conscious awareness
as a result of the collective quantum field of all the combined awareness
of the countless creatures who inhabit her ecosphere.
-
- Some evidence for this may be seen in the phenomenon
of the Crop Circles and their attendant ' balls of light '.
-
- I have to reiterate that there is something here that
truly is beyond mere line of reasoning of the human intellect- human intellect
being driven by and largely limited to the double dualities of word comparisons
and branching logic structures- both strongly affected by local cultural
bias in the first place- specifically our developing technology. Again,
not the most reliable view of reality obtainable ( though certainly not
just junk, either ). For, at one time, humans knew no way of life OTHER
THAN one in closeness to the experience of Nature with her literally limitless
capacity for Novelty and Variety. Our sensory input was under such conditions
continually bombarded with an ever changing kaleidoscope of variety and
newness and wonder really, that the mind was constantly kept open, WIDE
open, to the more subtle phenomenon of not just one's inner and outer world
being fully integrated, but also such things as paranormal phenomenon that
otherwise pass by undetected or un- appreciated by today's highly focused
minds of specialized modern cultures. True, no two snowflakes are alike,
but that is mass produced boredom compared to the truly endless variety
observable in all of Nature.
-
- In fact, there is another and unexpected level to which
we may take these observations of Nature's unpredictability.
-
- Is every electron identical to every other electron ?
It had been almost taken for granted that that was the case, for over a
hundred years now. One particle of type would be impossible to distinguish
from any other in the Universe, almost by definition. NOT SO TODAY ! The
last decade has seen the discovery of the phenomenon of ENTANGLEMENT- that
two subatomic particles, photon pairs or electron pairs thus far, obtain
a quantum link at the foundational ground of being, technically said to
be Quantum Entangled, wherein THEIR PAST RELATIONSHIP TO ONE ANOTHER OBTAINS
A PERMANENT AND IRREVOCABLE STATUS FUNDAMENTALLY AFFECTING THEIR FUTURE
INTERACTIONS. In other words, the past history of a particle has, to some
extent, a direct bearing on its current and future condition and therefore
behavior. In fact, this Entangled State transcends all space and time limitations,
including the direction of Time's arrow, and is opening up the possibility
of instantaneous forms of communication and even of teleportation of mass
through space at infinite velocity ( and I postulate even time travel ).
So far as is known, this phenomenon extends only to the extent of their
very next sequential interactions. However, there is growing evidence that
this is hardly the beginning of the story of Particle Entanglement, let
alone the end- for, this entanglement MAY BE TRANSFERABLE, expandable,
manipulatable, to the extent that EVERY PARTICLE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS ULTIMATELY
IN AN ENTANGLED STATE WITH EVERY OTHER PARTICLE ! This is a condition inherited
from the the Origins of the Primal Fireball at the inception of the Universe
at the Big Bang.
-
- But there is EVEN MORE...
-
- There is some reason to believe that THE VERY BASIS OF
THIS UNIVERSE, ITS OWN FOUNDATIONAL PHYSICAL LAWS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF
EVOLVING IN CONCERT WITH THE EVOLUTION OF HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND EXPERIENCE
! That is, HUMAN AWARENESS, PERCEPTION AND INTENTION IS ACTUALLY BRINGING
ABOUT FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE TO THE PHYSICAL LAWS OF THE UNIVERSE AT THE QUANTUM
LEVEL, THE GROUND OF BEING.
-
- AND THAT IS THE ULTIMATE REALITY !
-
- The Laws of the Universe are evolving in concert with
our perception of it !
-
- A kind of Quantum ' Natural Selection '.
-
- Of course, this may all be VERY SUBTLE, barely discernible,
but nonetheless VERY REAL.
-
- So, I think we can at LEAST be agreeable that the human
Imagination is well beyond the Intellect, if nothing else.
-
- Look at this- we have also been assuming that Quantum
phenomenon apply in an obvious way ONLY TO PHENOMENA OF ULTRAMICROSCOPIC
SCALE. But again, NOT SO.
-
- How does the engine in your car operate- whether or not
it is a diesel, a gasoline, an electric or a hybrid engine system- does
it work by Quantum Principles or by strictly Linear Newtonian Principles-
MACROscopically now ! Be careful how you think about this one.......this
is so obvious, yet I am the only person I know to have ever suggested this
! WHY DO MOST ALL OF OUR ENERGY SYSTEMS OPERATE ACCORDING TO QUANTIZED
PULSES THAT ACCUMULATE A MOMENTUM OVER TIME ? ! That momentum usually being
applied ' angularly ' to increase the ' spin ' of a macroscopic ' particle
' ( though not always ) ? I can even make the argument that a jet engine,
a solid fuel rocket motor, a liquid fuel rocket motor and a steam turbine,
ALL operate, at least to a degree, according to quantized pulses. Here
is THAT argument- sort of in reverse- first, you have to view the jet stream
as a wave function that has variations in its flow that are essentially
a manifestation, on a macroscopic scale, of underlying QUANTUM wave functions.
It is really a no- brainer for a physicist/ mathematician type ! It is
THOSE VERY PRESSURE WAVE DENSITY VARIATIONS that have to be accounted for
in the design of a safe, efficient, smoothly running jet engine. Even a
rocket engine can be best described as supplying A SINGLE LONG- LIVED IMPULSE.
And, the blades of a turbine are actually making little quantized ' cuts
' into the jet stream, parsing or sectioning it off into many, many TURBULENT
eddies, which eddies never quite perfectly recombine in the exhaust- exiting
the engine as macroscopic ' wave packets '.
-
- EVERYTHING IS QUANTUM !
-
- And, believe it or not, that one statement sums up practically
the ENTIRE PHILOSOPHY of the New Age Movement-
-
- EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED-
-
- ALL- IS- ONE !
-
- A decidedly Buddhist concept, if I may say so.
-
- And thus our discussion cycles itself back around to
MEDITATION-
-
- NOT AN ACCIDENT OF LOGIC !
-
- Are we New Agers merely seeing what we WANT TO SEE in
the Universe ?- EUREKA ! Yes, now you are truly beginning to UNDERSTAND
!
