The herd instinct and other myths

It is a modern day fact that society is the glue that holds our human existence together. It protects us, gives us purpose and rewards us for good service.

It is then not surprising that social benevolence and standing become an important part of peoples lives. The things that happen to us and how we are viewed by the people that make up our society may gain a significance beyond our own.

What many people fail to realize is that social benevolence may provide a platform for contact with others, but that it does not provide any assurance of connection. It is this need for connection that is the root of what psychologists and sociologists call our herd mentality. By connecting with others we share and we grow.

But people compromise to be able to fit in. People cheat to belong. The result of this, is that even if we achieve contact we cannot connect because we are not truthful, or even honest with ourselves. And while we are lying to ourself we cannot be honest with others. While we are acting the role that society requires of us to belong, we cannot achieve the meaningful interaction that we need to fulfill our destiny.

The only way we can ever hope to have the presence to be who we are is by sharing our opinion without fear of shame or rejection, something that we cannot do if we live in constant fear of being cast from the society we try so hard to uphold.

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
