Week 2 Assignments

Uncertainty--
I think that we can certainly say that there is nothing more certain than uncertainty. I find it to be a most fascinating subject that in a world ( the western minded world) where everything must be able to be calculated to a definition the farthest most advanced science is telling us that we cannot know everything and actually the more we know about something the less we truly know about it. How beautifully eastern of the universe to throw that curve ball in there. This is what we know now. IN ten, or twenty or 500 years we may figure out some more advanced calculations that can give us a better glimpse at how the quantum world works with a more comprehensive understanding of the universe and how it works.....but not right now!!

Causality & Weirdness--
Causality is a fun subject. I have definitely experienced it before and dedicate much of my time to refining my relationship to causality. In some circles it is also known as intuition, the individual, personal experience of causality. I have found that it is better to go with the flow of this effect rather than to try and ignore it and pretend that it wasn't happening or that I am not worthy of using this information that has reached me before occurring in the physical space of the world. I have also found it to be true that it can save a lot of time and help uplift myself and others by going with my intuitive impulses as opposed to not. So one may ask, "what is it that allows for the seemingly instantaneous occurrences of this causality". It does seem that these occurrences move faster than the speed of light, for this type of information can traverse the span of the universe in zero time. So we may be dealing with some type of superstring theory that does not exist on our 3D model of the universe. If we remember that the universe all started form the same point and that point expanded in all directions, I think that it helps us to see that all points are the center of the universe. This may help us to comprehend a different shape and texture and dimension the universe has and may help us to grasp how information can occur at oppisite ends of the universe simultaneously. The UNiverse is absolutely weird. Thank God for that one. How boring would it be if it were plain?#%@? The more I think about it, it keeps on getting weirder too.LOL. Perfect visual for this is the Cheshire cat from Alice and Wonderland. Have fun :)

This page has really cool info about some of the recent Sun activity.

Relfections on Frist Day of Class

I enjoyed hearing everyone's story and the interesting paths we have taken to end up at AIMC. So many paths crossing and becoming somewhat parallel for some time. And conversations about time! How cool. I love pondering the limits of the universe. That is the universe as I know it. It is a spark of so much creativity and freedom of thought. I enjoyed the group sessions where we can learn form each other and communicate. I am sure that the course will be mind opening and universe expanding.

The Meaning of Time

Time can take on so many different meanings depending on one's present state of mentality or emotionality. It can be a threat to one who has a fast approaching deadline. It may be a barrier to someone who is awaiting the coming of a specific time or date. It may be a luxury to a student on vacation. It can even be a punishment for someone who has received a jail sentence. In this line of thought, time can mean an infinite number of things relative to the one who is experiencing the time. And now, a bit more conceptual but even more factual and possibly very relevant if applied, the relativity of time through space...or shall we say timespace. Time has been proven to be relative as applied at very high velocities. Space has been proven to bend and warp around bodies of great mass. While we earthlings for the most part are totally unaware of these naturally occurring phenomena. Not only are they phenomena but they are basic rules and structures that govern the way the universe which we exist in works. And not only do they govern how things work in this universe but they if can be understood and remembered could easily alter the meaning of time for an individual. Intstead of just being a way to know when to be at work or school or when to get the next train, time could be seen as a remarkably flexible, maleable and impressionable aspect of our experience.....given that we have a proper understanding of how it works and how we interact with it. The question is, do we have the time to come to such an understanding and would we be able to accept it if we did??

• I am attracted to TCM because it is an effective system to help the individual live a life of health and longevity on all levels. It also is great at helping people to cure illness and pain relief. I have also found that it can be used on more etheric levels such as to keep the chakras open and harmonious as well as to benefit meditation practices. I think it will most definitely benefit the planet and the life inhabitting the earth as we all increase our living awareness and our awareness of living things.
• I think physics is really cool. Espcailly the theoretical aspects. The math behind it is beyond me but I am appreciate the strength and groundedness that suppporting concepts wth mathematical analysis provides.This helps to integrate concepts into mainstream acceptance when they are outside the box...and many...actually most people prefer the comfort of inside the box. Physics is hleping to explain the fundamental pieces of the universe which is totally rad, especially when it breaks the status quo of how the universe 'works'!! Ilove it!!!
• Time speeds up and slows down on me constantly. I am amazed at how muchn it can change. i am excited to hopefully learn about some theories of why this happens and also why does time seem to move faster as we grow older.......? Crazyness!!! Now only if there was a way to conquer time...would that also mean that there is a way to conquer space as well with time and space being one?????? And what does cause the time to move faster or slower? Or is it just a game of the mind?
