Consciousness out of Chaos

There is some interconnectedness which lies between our consciousness and the world in which we live.  We tend to direct our lives towards our thoughts and ideas.  The choices we make and how we look at things build on each other and create either unhappiness or peace as our own reality.  When I am more "conscious" of my world and how I am affecting my own happiness, I definitely make better choices within it and things seem to magically align.

Fractals as Complex Patterns

Fractals are a small part of the big picture.  They become more complex the closer you look.  It is amazing how only a small change in a pattern creates an even more elaborate pattern.    Even when patterns in nature seem so simple, it is amazing how much detail lies within.

Ordered chaos

Everything is constantly changing.  When things are too ordered, there is no growth.  When things are only chaotic, there is no growth.  Therefore, it needs to be a balance or both pulling at each other.  Depending on where I am, I view time as ordered or chaotic, although to some it may be opposite.  Like in Guatemala, there was nowhere to be at a certain time.  My internal clock of waking up with the sun and going to bed with the sun seemed so natural.  But here in the US, that would not work.  There needs to be some order around that chaos for things to run "smoothly", although sometimes I do wish for more of an "internal clock" kind of society.  Of course, as soon as I am in this situation, I wish for more order.  It's all about finding that balance..

energy and Qi

These seem very related, yet at times one in the same.  Energy runs through us and has a certain rhythm and force.  Qi helps to moves this energy, but may also BE this energy that keeps things going.  To me, you can feel energy from people and the heat it can produce.  Some people are very aware and are able to see other people's energy around them.  There is a certain movement that may be felt in a room or inside ourselves and Qi helps to keep this movement flowing.

Resonance

I liked reading about how different keys and music itself is so healing.  I know when I sing and play my guitar, it puts me in a different space, a more relaxed state of being.  I feel that when I sing, it resonates with my being and creates some sort of harmony in my physical being and in my mind.  I love to feel this resonance between myself and others, too.  That kind of energy where I feel I "get" people or maybe they see me a little.  When I am in a good space, I feel like my world and the people in it resonate.

vibrations

Vibrations aren't good or bad.  What is good is when the vibration of say, of an earthquake, is a different vibration than the structure and soil the earthquake happens to affect.  What is bad is when the vibrations of the wind or earthquake DO match the structures they come into contact with.  When this occurs, the structures may be damaged.

CP Violation

i believe the CP violation tries to explain the abscence of antimatter in everyday life.  Laws of symmetry to do not apply to the decaying of kaons.  Every particle of matter cannot be mirrored with a particle of antimatter or they would always destroy each other.  There is speculation as to why more matter showed up after the big bang and not more antimatter.  I am not sure either as to why this was, but am trying to understand that somehow there cannot be a mirror to all things in this universe.

My symmetrical world

I was very interested in Fibonacci's ratios.  Spirals in nature are something I can relate to, as I do love plants.  This golden ratio measures that growth and it is so amazing to study how this growth pattern is the same throughout nature.  Even though it is not totally symmetrical, I see my body as such and tend to see things in this way.  I like for a room in my house to feel symmetrical or balanced in some way.  I also liked learning how Leonardo de Vinci applied these rules and ratios in his paintings.

sacred geometry and physics

There are definite connections for me bet. geometry and physics.  We see "sacred" geometry every day in the spirals of plants, patterns of snowflakes and crystals, our own DNA, and the list goes on.  Physics tries and does a pretty good job of somehow being able to measure these patterns through different mathematical equations.  I marvel while studying the I Ching, how numbers and patterns of physics possibly seem to be so involved, yet this is a sacred/spiritual aspect of my life.  I cannot deny seeing these patterns and being astounded when I pay attention to this and to how many objects or particles ring true for following many patterns of sacred geometry.

gravity

I would've never guess gravity was the weakest of all 4 forces.  Making one's hair stand on end never occured to me that that was how weak gravity could be.  Yet everything depends on gravity. Gravity holds everything on earth in place and in that respect seems very strong.  It is hard for me to see outside of our earth and realize gravity is only strong in relation to myself and not the entire universe!

four forces

  If gravity always attracts, electromagnetism may repel or attract, these are more related and interactive since electromagnetism is what holds atoms together.  Weak and strong nuclear forces are more difficult to understand, only knowing they help hold protons and neutrons in the nucleus.  These four forces seem to be one in the same.  To me, it is simply profound how these forces work together to keep the universe in alignment and balanced.  

e=mc2

This has affected me by helping me realize things do carry energy and affect other matter. When I think of matter and energy being interrelated, I automatically think of our bodies as matter and the energy that must exude when our bodies are no more.  It makes me think that that energy has to go somewhere, right?  I do wonder where that energy goes and in what form that energy would be.  I don't really believe in an afterlife, but e=mc2 proves something of the sort to me.
