Motion and How We See Things

A way to look at how things work:

There is you and there is the universe. The universe is, at basic, a field of transparent darkness with a very small amount of mass evenly distributed across the entire field.

Without being perceived, it sits there, as potential. When perceived, it is like a giant Antikythera mechanism, with wheels and cogs and gears interacting at a massive scale.

What does this mean to you? It means that everything you perceive as a particle is moving relative to you and relative to every other particle. You do not necessarily consciously perceive this movement.

But you do perceive it, consciously or not.

For example, there are a number of wavelengths moving through your perception right now, such as radio waves and gravity waves.

There are also emotional wavelengths and wavelengths that force change, such as radiation, that effect particle breakdown.

But all a wavelength is, is motion perceived as an associated group of particles.

Each individual particle is in motion relative to every other particle.

Here's where it gets interesting: you decide what a particle is.

A ball is a particle, for example. However cut the ball in half and it is two particles, Keep cutting and you create thousands, millions, trillions of particles. Likewise, move away from the ball, it becomes smaller and smaller till it disappears to become part of another larger scene and no longer is a particle as itself. Your perspective determines what is a particle.

You decide, therefore, what motion is, relative to your existence.

We tend to like a balance of motion. We want a reasonably predictable amount of motion, but enough to keep life interesting. This means motion that appears to come and go, and orbit. Those are the basic motions. Too much going away and we don't like it. Too much too fast, we don't like it. Too much stasis, (orbit), we don't like it.

Here is the problem with that: We see only a tiny fraction of the total motion in the universe. The entire place balances out nicely. It is a machine that the more you see of it, the better it gets.

But here on earth, in a very small and compressed sample set of motion, it is easy to feel things are not "right".

How do you solve it? Well, the problem is with a particle. There is something about that particle motion you don't understand. You have three options. Cut the particle in half or get far enough away that you do not see the particle.

Or, acquire enough perspective of overall motion that it becomes easier to place it into context with universal motion. Nothing is really wrong, we just have a momentary lapse of perspective. Motion can be hard to predict, which is why this place can be so interesting.

The purpose of "spiritual" growth in my opinion is to acquire that universal perspective, at least enough to apply it when the train pulls away from the station and you are left standing, suitcases in hand, at the depot. (Or, find yourself on the track in front of it.)

One accomplishes this by becoming more conscious, more aware, of the now one is living in. One sees more accurately and completely and in doing so, sees everything with more understanding and benevolence.

We are all on the same train and will eventually reach the same destination, in my opinion.

Have fun!
