Week #5 Sacred Geometry and Physics

Are there connections between Sacred Geometry and Physics?

Yes, yes and yes.

I understand sacred geometry to be everything that makes up the natural world. I think nature is the union of everything that we can see and everything that we cannot understand, all together. Patterns of sacred geometry lie in all living things in nature, most often observable in sprirals. It goes so deep within ourselves that when we look at the biology of our genes, we can see that DNA is structured in forms of sacred geometry. This can explain why artists, ancient civilizations, scientists across centuries came up with creations that fit these forms. As for its connection with physics, if biology is study that can explain the things we understand in nature, then physics is the study where we try to undertand the things in nature that are not visable and harder to examine. Since I believe that all things in nature are made up of sacred geometry, then most patterns in physics, descovered or undescovered will also hold these sacred forms.

Week #5 The CP violation

The CP Violation:

The neutral kaon seems to be a misbehaving particle, in that its behavior has no connection with the arrows of time. It is studied in uranium, for example, where its decay is "independent of time's direction". It seems that the neutral kaon in its "unkown" can be held accoutable for making what the universe is today. This makes me think of Darwin's evolution when he explains natural selection. It says that the most fit will survive, but what really happens to become the most fit it mistakes, or abnormal behaviors, called "mutaions". These mutations have resulted in the success of most species to adapt to their environments. So the misbehaving of the neutral kaon can be compared to a mutation, which makes the universe what it is.

Week #5 My (a)symmetrical world

Is the world symmetrical?

I am going to say yes and no. In a physical way, it seems obvious that things do not often appear symmetrical. You can look on a hill, one side can be a shaded woodland, and one side could be a sunny grassland. Even the hill itself will most likely not be symmetrical in its form. The deeper energy within each part of the hillsides could have more symmetry to it. The idea of yin/yang, where everything is in opposition and interdependent can show that most energy can be viewed with symmetry. The relastionship between a redwood tree and the eath that it grows from can hold symmetrical energy even though they are not physically symmetrical. They turn back and forth into each other for eternity. I imagine if you graph out that pattern, it would be a very symmetrical picture.

In my life, I often say I strive for balance, which is an energetic form of symmetry. The physical things that appear on each side of the "scale" may appear different, but the energy and the "weight" of the things, if balance is obtained, should be in symmetry.

week #4 Four Forces & Gravity

COMPARING THE FOUR FORCES

Although physicists find four "interactions": Strong nuclear force, electomagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and gravity, it seems that the first three are more linked together while gravity is not as strong of a force. The article "the Four Forces" explains that the three forces "are manifestations of a single, more fundamental, interaction." As the math is confusing to me, I understand that within an atom, there are these forces that dictate the behavior of its matter/mass. I like to think about the fact that when we study physics, we are in effect trying to understand how the universe works. But when we get down to it, we are still trying to grasp how the smallest of things work, and it is so hard to grasp the power of these forces as they affect things as small as a raindrop or as large as a star.

It is comforting to think about the human body encompassing these forces as we are propelled by them in our existance. When we think about becoming "energy doctors" it makes more sense to think about all the energies that are streaming within the body, and how the insersion of a needle, the function on one plant can play a huge part of the shifting in these energies.

When Einstein was asked about the existence of God, he commented on the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed. He left us to ponder how it was created. I prefer to ponder on how it can be altered for improved health and well-being.



GRAVITY

As a kid I remember learning that gravity is the force that pulls us to the center of the earth and I feared falling into holes because I was scared that I would get sucked into the crust of the earth. My brother liked to remind me of this "fact". I was relieved to learn in middle school that gravity "was not that strong" and its force only held us to the ground. I find that ironic as we now learn of the four forces, gravity "is not that strong" compared to the other three. I guess the kid in me gets it. It is also ironic that gravity as a word is often used to describe something of alarming importance, which means it has much weight associted with it.

I think gravity holds us "down" but it also pushes and pulls us toward things around us. I "gravitate" towards people that are funny and kind. I "gravitate" towards warmth. I also take gravity for granted, and even curse it when I fall off my bike. But I know it is a good thing, as without it I would not have any muscles to even ride my bike. So thank you gravity, even if you are the weakest of the four forces.

Week #4 E=Mc2

HOW HAS E=MC2 AFFECTED ME:

Although I have not thought of it in terms of e=mc2, I have been greatly affected by energy and matter being not only connected, but unified. This has come up for me in dealing with some of my health problems. I had severe allergies my whole life that had great control over what I could do on a given day. I was allergic to dust and mold and could barley sleep in my home during the rainy season. I could not even hug a person that was in a house with a cat, even if I was never at the house. I tried many forms of western and eastern healing (included acupunture) but found my greatest results through NAET. I know this healing does not work for everyone, but it worked for me, and I am so greatful as my life has changed for the better.

The idea behind the healing is that all things (mass) have an energy (vibration), and it is our brain that sometimes comuptes the data of this energy the wrong way and we get an allergic reaction. I had to start thinking about each specific allergen in terms of energy. The healing involved holding a small amount of this allergen (mass) in my hand, while the Doctor did some acupressure and other things to tell my brain that the energy of the mass that I was holding was okay and safe. Two years later, allergy by allergy, I am almost free of all my allergies. I have lived with the love of my life, a dog, for five years. Last night she slept by my face as she often does. If that happened seven years ago, I would have been in the hospital.

Excepting that dust mites, pollen, mold, dander, metals, ect, have energy, meant that I could train my body to relearn about the energy in these masses, and I could heal. I became so experienced in this that by the end, as I took a specific allergen in my hand I could feel the amazing force of its energy and could almost understand the power of the speed of light.

Week #3

CONNECTIVITY

I often hear the saying that "we are all connected", and I happen to agree. I hear people say that "we were supposed to meet for a reason" when they talk about the amazing person they married or befriended. I believe that all things are connected (living and not living) and I try very hard to reflect on the lessons that my days give me. Since I started in New York City and became an organic farmer and have had such an unpredictable path, I know things in my life happen for a reason. When I take my dog to the park, there are times when I keep to myself and other times I have interactions with people and/or trees. When I think about why this stranger and I met, there is usually a lesson for me to learn and I am so glad if I take the time to explore it.

But if you ask me to explain connectivity based on what I know, I am lost for words. I think I have too much evidence for all things being connected to believe in chance. It is easier for me to believe that there is a grid of energy that all things react to and interact because of over just believing that things just happen.

I think of this universe like an ecosystem. My actions play a small part in the lives of everyone on this planet. Some people are effected sooner than others, but I believe that at one point or another, my actions will touch another. We are seeing it on larger scales with global warming and extinction of species. I think it is also on a subtle level. It is one of the many reasons I try to leave small footprints and act out of kindness.

Week #3

EVIDENCE FOR SYNCHRONICITY

I have been thinking about this one through the entire week. Once again, I am glad to be asked to try to "prove" such a thing as synchonicity stands as another thing I just accept in my daily life. I often experience thinking of someone and having them phone, or reminded of something I need to do and a song comes on about it moments later. I believe that there is some sort of spirit that graces me, and find it strange how I quickly write it off as another act of this "other worldly" being. (I am not a relgious person so I stray away from the term "god"). I think it is important for me to revisit these moments and ponder to the possible energy that is present among our universe that causes these events to happen. It is not hard for me to believe that there is a greater web of energy that creates such moments, and that there is a way to explain it.

As for evidence, I think the only evidence is in the actual events, and that they happen time and times again, to people of all faiths, all over the world. I am not sure all the ways that people make sense of it, but I am more curious as it seems easy to place it on a God, or just "coincidence".

I play poker at card clubs as a pure hobby since I love numbers and cards, and something that I have always been very amused by and also victim of is the occurrence of superstitions. There is a man that turns his chair three times to the left everytime he wins a hand. There is another man that takes off all his jewelery every half hour, sets his clock, and puts it back on every 30 minutes. I find myself tapping three times on my cards everytime before I look at my hand. What we are in effect trying to do is call on this "energy" that is somewhere out there that will in fact give us the winning hand. I am not sure if this superstition has any effect on the outcome of my hands, but I am a smart, logical person, and I have no intention to change my habit. In fact, I think it works. I look forward to asking these men more about it, and wonder if they will choke on the idea of synchronicity having a reason.
