CHAOS THEORY

"ordered chaos" does this sound familiar? or jumbo shrimp.

as a matter of fact it sounds like the west trying to impose order on something random. the western scientific mind has had trouble with this for centuries. by not acknowledging "chaos" one looses a potential for opportunity and growth. the west has a history of of emphasising one side of the yin yang duality thus rendering an incomplete and distorted view of reality. to the west growth is what is important, whether it be production, stock price, sports, etc. some economists are so entrenched that they refer to a fall as "negative growth."

fractals as patterns of complex systems:

complex to the point of infinity. it is not easy in this material world to contemplate the infinite, but fractals are a start. a snapshot of infinity. circles also come close, but all material attempts are ultimately in vain. the reason pi can not be solved into a whole number is because God refuses to be pinned down to just one thing. the allegory of the tower of babel elucidates the problems inherent in trying to find God in purely material forms - by building a tower to reach heaven. in the end all the workmen misunderstood each other and spoke a different language - still seems applicable in current exoteric religion.

consciousness out of chaos:

this is very similar to the alchemical view of "order out of chaos". all phenomena can be divided into order out of chaos: if one wants to organize (order) his house he usually moves things around, cleans under furniture, stirs up dust, and etc (chaos) to create a better order when finished. consciousness is an energy that allows all things to be - rocks, trees, fish, people, etc. it also allows conscious attention within our psyche. by no means is it "mind". mind is an aspect of consciousness, but consciousness is not an aspect of mind. consciousness is divine - the philosophers stone of the alchemists. it will transmute all that it encounters. try putting attention (consciousness) into a minor pain in the body , (headache, etc) for 5-10 minutes. if one can accept and observe the pain without judgement it begins to decrease and then disappears. consciousness comes out of chaos because it existed before chaos, it is an aspect of the All.

VIBRATIONS

are all vibrations "good"?

i'm glad the good is in quotes lest i spend hours trying to define it. in light of this, vibrations are neutral. vibrations are the defining element of all things. since the building blocks that make up my house. my computer, and myself are all made up of the same particles it is the vibration that defines our differences. a desk would cease to be a desk if it vibrated at a different rate. thus certain vibrations construct material and others destroy it. if one would like to imagine that destruction of matter is bad then some vibrations could be considered bad also.

resonance in my world:

this is an interesting idea for me. i have lately been observing what i term resonance on the emotional level. it appears that various emotions vibrate at different rates. i find that these vibrations have the characteristics of resonance. for example, if someone with an angry streak is in close proximity to someone who is angry at the moment the latent anger in the former resonates to it and the potential for it to become manifest becomes greater. this can easily be observed in witnessing an argument develop between two people. have you ever tried to argue with a person who is simply calm and happy? it wont last very long. the two emotions are not resonating. we see this resonance all the time -- laughter is contagious, smiles are traded on the street, etc.

connections i can make between energy and qi:

qi is energy. even in it's most subtle form it is at least "energy potential". it has a wave of yin and yang, it vibrates, it moves, etc. all the characteristics of qi can be explained in terms of the western idea of energy.

SYMMETRY AND SACRED GEOMETRY

my symmetrical world:

at first glance symmetry seems to be an impossibility. indeed it is from a purely aristotelian standpoint. someone in group discussion last night brought up karma in relation to balance and symmetry. i agree that karma is the way the universe balances energy to produce symmetry. life may look horribly unfair and imbalanced if looked at without prior knowledge of all past incarnations -- although admittedly not many have this information. but if i simply choose to look (empirically) at my current life circumstances, having no insight into possibly thousands of years of prior incarnations, it is akin to seeing maybe 20 seconds of an epic 3 hour movie and than believing i understand the plot, theme, character development, and all intricacies of that movie.

just what does this "cp violation" really mean?

i believe "cp violation" means that some particles may react "irrationally". especially as explained by measurements in the material dimension. again i do not think that this necessarily implies asymmetry -- but maybe a symmetry on a grander scale. like the karma example above there may be a bigger picture -- phenomena in another dimension may effect this dimension, but may not be accurately mensurable in this dimension. a neutral kaon may be the result of symmetrical balance within a bigger totality than just the dimension of matter and time.

are there connections between sacred geometry and physics?

i would say absolutely. sacred geometry is sacred because of it's universality. i believe ratios and proportions in the physical world are governed by symmetrical propensities -- snow flakes, crystals, organic life.

ENERGY MATTER AND THE FOUR FORCES

how has e=mc2 affected me:

well my life pretty much goes along all the while without much thought of it. however if there is one single equation in history to affect mankind, this is it. it changed the face of physics forever. it ushered in the nuclear age. it set the stage for other lines in physics to open. people of the twentieth century and beyond will be affected in ways they can hardly even imagine and this includes me as being a product of this culture.

how would you compare the four forces:

they seem to fit nicely together except for gravity. maybe because the other three are intimately linked to the charge of particles. the temptation to provide a unified theory for these energies is a bit like shooting rubber bands at the moon. again our yogi or esoteric practitioners can help us with this. we live in the plain of polarity. everything has it's opposite, all truths are half truths. but as we learn from meditation, which i believe transfers our consciousness to the next plain up, opposites become reconciled, the sexes begin to merge, and we experience a more unified expression of energy. i believe this is the only way to truly unify everything. energy is "one thing" but on this plain it will never be measurable as "one thing".

what is the function of gravity:

i believe that all attractive energy functions as a product of love. when you want to be with someone it is gravity (love). When you love to eat your ice cream it is gravity. traveling to paris because you love the streets along st germain is gravity.
