In search of joy

Nirvana or heaven as some would call it is an interesting concept. Have you ever asked yourself to imagine such a place?

For many I do believe it is described as a place of absence. A place where there is no more pain and suffering. Where there are no bosses or beggars, no credit or taxes, and certainly no worries and fears.

In the minds of other the concept may be expressed by abundance. Where there is lots of money and love, children by the dozen or peace, and even wisdom and happiness.

In medicine there is a principle called, assuming the sick role, and it is a valuable skill to be able to identify with your patient. Without this skill a physician may easily advise his patient complaining of a runny nose to blow it! In essence it allows us to place a value on something that is not our own. Unfortunately the value of the skill is limited by our own values and prejudice, but it is none the less important to assess the disease in children. Of what importance is a runny nose to a child who does not understand the messy bubbles that may be the direct nasal result of that nose? But be that as it may...

For the purpose of this discussion I want you to try your mind at this role-playing thing, and imagine nirvana. And then, after you have carefully stripped your current reality of everything that is making you unhappy, or that frustrates angers or scares you, and added everything that you consider necessary to achieve such a state of being. Imagine what it will be like to live such a life.

Now imagine the value of what you have gained should you never have had all the things that you lost. With the exception of wisdom and happiness I bet the life you have imagined loses much of what you thought. All of a sudden you may find nirvana has lost some of it’s appeal, and even may have lost to heaven forbid, with angels singing joy and fluffy clouds… Look! Can you see that amazing sheep… Even wisdom loses value if we find a place of total bliss.

And thus it seems there is but one remaining quality we're left, the one called joy. Some may call it bliss, and some may say… Take your pick. Happiness… Look even the word smiles if you think of it!

And thus my dearest friends I ask of you to tell me why, and why it even makes sense that in our lonely lives whe spend so many times looking for reasons not to be happy. If happy is a given choice, then why am I not able to take it each and every moment of my life.

May you have the fortune to see the joy in every moment, and the wisdom to take it.

Dual entanglement

Image
Everything is connected and all is vibration. As above so below. Nature manifest change in dual entangled, equal epposite expression. This is hardly a novel idea or ideology despite the beat efforts of Religion to obfuscate the principle and eradicate the knowledge we inherited from our ancestors. and the proof is evident in their symbolic depiction of it that has survived the demise of the culture that   synor is it the mystical, magical, or divine as Western scholars or the devout and devoted are want to believe. From a present aware of the nature of entrainment, mutual relevance and the entanglement of subatomic particles, the abovementioned 3000yo universal Vedic principles are entirely plausable. Everything is connected is an accurate if controversial description of the dual entangled and equal  mirror opposite nature of quantum particles that Einstein decried as "spooky action at a distance". Since then entanglement has given rise to a entirely new branch of physics. Th

What is... Resonance

Image
Wikipedia 250720 05:24pm (CAT) - In physics , resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at maximum amplitude at a certain frequency . This frequency is known as the system's resonance frequency. When damping is small, the resonance frequency is approximately equal to the natural frequency of the system, which is the frequency of free vibrations. A practical use of this tendency is the old disc gramophone as illustrated in the Harry Potter movie "Goblet of Fire" during the preparation for the ball. Interestingly enough, it illustrates the concept of resonance with multiple frequencies... I started to wonder... Resonating with this idea is the concept of "His Masters Voice", an interesting harmony with the most popular of all these gramophones, but in my construct I was thinking more in lieu of the "Voice of God", particularly after having read some of the apocrypha where the writers try to literally write down the teachings of Jesus after

Quantum proof of life, the universe, everything...

Image
If intention is the seed that fertilises our collective conciousness to give birth to existence, then the quote below is quantum proof of pretty much everything. It defines our universal role as observers on a mission to explore the myriad of possibilities we have, and manifest those that are the most appealing. In quantum mechanics,  wave function collapse  (also called collapse of the state vector or reduction of the wave packet) is the process by which a wave function, initially in a superposition of different eigenstates, appears to reduce to a single one of the states after interaction with an observer.  In simplified terms, it is the condensation of physical possibilities into a single occurrence, as seen by an observer. It is one of two processes by which quantum systems evolve in time according to the laws of quantum mechanics as presented by John von Neumann.[1] And thus we find that quantum mechanics provide the perfect proof to support the notion of where the m
