notes after watching "What The Bleep Do We Know"
i want to study quantum physics
reality really is a consensus of the masses. if all matter and energy exists in multiple possibility states at all times, crystalizing into a single state only when interacted with or observed, and we can only observe that which falls in the parameters of the reality we believe to exist, then cultures are creating and refining the 'realities' that can possibly be experienced.
i wonder if certain strong minds can overcome this consensus to choose possibilities that they prefer over those that are generally accepted. i suspect this is true, and a small part of this may be what "willpower" describes. i also wonder to what degree a strong mind can warp the agreed upon reality.
this has some connections to yoga-esq spiritual beliefs, for certain. also could account for 'magic'
can we train ourselves to choose possibilities outside the norm? how much change can we make like this?
what is our relationship to time? can we feel or otherwise percieve the future? it's not as clear a picture as the past, but maybe it's not unknowable either. i've often felt that i have premonitions about what is to come soon... like i see paths open in my life that i know i am destined to follow. is this related to quantum possibility spaces? why is one indicated for me when others are possible? and where does that indication come from? is it some choice i am making, or something pushed on me from elsewhere? how much does intuition, premonition, and gut feelings indicate some real relationship with the future?
also... the book "Light" that i recently read... in that, the universe responded to all sorts of conflicting ideas... the premise was that wherever you look you will find the answers. whatever you try, it will work. i think this is true... the question is to have enough conviction to accomplish it. and it's so simple. no training or anything is required. just believe that you can affect reality, and you can. it's just that most people don't _really_ believe this.
within my own framework of reality, the answer is this. i am not composed to just radically shift my belief system. but with repetition i will gain confidence. so if i focus on "creating my day" each day in a focused and intentional way, then through repetition, i can build up a pattern of acceptance of my own ability to influence or even control reality.
this is why visualization works for athletes. it's a way of creating the future. it's also why, when i am fencing at my peak, i know what will happen next without questioning it.
even Stranger in a Strange Land touches on this stuff... "thou art god" states the same thing that "namaste" does and that quantum physics puts into scientific speak. everything is an aspect of a whole... the universe looking back at itself.
patterns of thought and emotion breed a continuation of those patterns on a neurological/biochemical level. interrupting those patterns without allowing them to complete helps to break down those recurrences and neurological associations.
my intuition that kids know something about the world that adults have forgotten is supported here by the idea that over time we shut down parts of ourselves and stop operating as an integrated whole... acting, instead as though we are constantly reliving past times. this makes sense as the hypothalamis and the neural nets of our brains continue to imprint our pasts in our neurological structures. especially detrimental because the strength of negative memories is _much_ greater and much longer lived than that of positive memories.
ppl get addicted to emotional states. we constantly create situations that satisfy our cellular level expectations for emotional addictions in the form of peptides.
addiction to emotions is biological, not just psychological. if we can be addicted to heroin, we can be addicted to any neuropeptide- any emotion
our minds literally create our bodies... so... it's totally plausible that my happiness and weight can be linked in ways that have nothing to do with how much or what i eat. in fact.... all the nutrition information that science thinks it knows could very easily just be related to the same consensus of the masses reality i talked about before. this also could have connections to body dismorphic disorder, and similar perception neurosies.
apparently, cells bombarded daily w/ certain emotional chemicals will produce sister cells (when they divide) that have more receptor sites for those chemicals they are mot often being hit with, and less sites dedicated to nutriton, waste management, energy production, etc. this leads me to wonder how long it takes for the body to completely replace all its cells through reproduction, and if we couldn't see restoration in cycles of that time by focusing on positive experiences and allowing our cells to right themselves as the respawn.
furthermore... all aging effects are the result of improper protein production... so, if our bodies didn't imprint our emotions on a cellular level, maybe we would never fall apart from old age. i wonder if our bodies don't have time limits at all, but emotional limits... like, an unhappiness or negative experience quota... and we have an average lifespan because we tend to experience emotion at a similar rate within the same culture. but... if someone didn't have any unhappiness in their life, could they live forever? or at least much longer?
taking time each day to perform acts as affirmation of love for the self and to envision and create the positive life that i want is the most essential and important thing possible in that day
"for the average person in the world who lives life and considers their life boring or uninspiring is because they've made no attempt to gain knowledge and information that will inspire them. they're so hypnotized by their environment through the media, through television, through people living and creating ideals that everybody struggles to become that noone can actually become in terms of physical appearance and definitions of beauty and valor that are all illusions that most people surrender and live their life in mediocricy, and they may live that life, and the soul may never, their desire may never rise to the surface so they may want to be something else."
is all the drama we create in our lives just a way to avoid the withdrawl from whatever our particular emotional chemical addictions are?
i wonder if my desire to simultaneously travel so many different paths in my life is related to the quantum idea of multiple simultaneous possiblities. another way of being intuitively connected to multiple possibile states in one moment.
"we have to formulate what we want and be so concentrated on it and so focused on it and have so much of our awareness of it that we lose track of ourselves, we lose track of time, we lose track of our identity. and the moment we become so involved in that experience, that we lose track of ourselve, we lose track of time, that picture is the only picture that's real. and everybody's had that experience when they've decided that they've wanted something. that's quantum physics in action. that's manifesting reality. that's the observer in full effect."
we are creators... that is what we are here to do... to give what we are and all that we have to the world by creating our lives in a very intentional way.
god... the idea that we create the world around us and that our minds control the states of our own bodies, absolutely, explains so many unexplained phenomena.
is the mass depression in the US a response to the void created by our cultural addiction to pop/media culture and our surrender to a lack of understanding about what is important and meaningful in life? also... what role does money play in this? catalyst?
