The universe is not solid; we exist on a fluid canvas in patterned electromagnetic pigment. We exist in fields of energy, a wet on wet watercolor - all hues bleeding through and into each other, mixing into an uncontrolled synergy of color, each hue a consciousness, an awareness positing our being through color-metric equations continually calculated - the sums being values of new equations - forming, until the last point becomes the circle and the circle the point.
We exist in an unfixed state, neither completely in control nor completely controlled. We try in vain to push the rod that turns this wheel, but in fact, we turn only the machinations of our minds, generating shadows and illusions of true and free will, proving over and over to ourselves that we are masters of destiny, controlling the color, shape and outline of this enigmatic painting. Attending closely to the process though, we see the dynamic of the universe expressing itself through probability of color field interaction, differing hues mixing into a new awareness of being, shaping existence via the operators of our equations.
What of the rod? What is it's nature? How do we understand it and, in turn, use it? The universe has given us the rod in the substance of our grey matter, our cortex - the quantum device through which micro-probabilities are processed and their sums expressed as behavior and understanding. This magnificent electromagnetic vault resonates with the harmonies of the spheres, it strides through the medium of probability to navigate the flux and flow of cause and effect. Continually, it runs the most arcane equations of existence and being. Our brains' electromagnetic cycles illuminate the Newtonian terrain of the realm, all the while utilizing a quantum awareness to stack the deck in favor of organization and life.
Humanity is aware of this condition and expresses it differing ways, the awareness of cycle and probability are expressed within science, art, music, religion and philosophy, anything that holds meaning to our beings illustrates our intimate connection to the rhythm and canvas of the universe.
Be good to your brains.
