Cycles in the Vast Fabric of Existence

Recently, I saw some connections between a few ideas. These connections include quantum phenomena, the probable nature of reality, the big bang, and what many spiritual traditions deem as a separation from the source of creation. Some new age and self help gurus, as well as experimental scientists and psychologists advocate focusing on the positive things in life and positive attitudes so as to create positive outcomes. I have researched some Eastern religions over the span of my life as a scientific layman, and I often note that these religions give homage to negative aspects of reality.


In the Western world, the negative aspects of reality traditionally don't sell politics, businesses, financial frauds, marketing schemes, advertising, etc. so it's suppressed. The Western world is completely invested in its own bubble of illusion as evidenced by a never ending debt, both in Europe and in America. What I'm attempting to explain is that, even though there are an infinite number of probabilities to our realities, there's still a general model or structure to the universe of probable universes.


To begin with, I apply the cyclical and dichotomous nature all of our physical reality is based in to the unfathomable domain of probabilities. I assume that our world, our personal lives, and the universe is a probable based reality in which free will has the opportunity to express itself in the myriads of decisions made through our selves. I see an inchoate quality of Ying and Yang in the vast, multidimensional ocean of probabilities. And I believe that at least the physical universe seeks homeostasis. Homeostasis is how the human body works in its natural state, and homeostasis is how the ecological system on earth works when it is in its natural state. Even when the body is diseased, or the earth is polluted, these systems still seek out balance.


While imbalances are a part of the Ying Yang quality that permeate the probable nature of the universe and ourselves, these qualities are still seeking homeostasis. After exploring this idea in a little depth, I can simplify it. The probable nature of reality is regulated by homeostatic balances. The great separation, or big bang, that I mentioned as a couple of the original ideas that I saw connections to can be re-interpreted into a sort of myth. Events that most people associate with the darker aspects of reality, such as loss and death, are really the mourning of a spiritual separation from the source from which human souls and spirits came.


Living a life on earth as a physical being really is a great loss in itself. We decide to forget our heritage, our previous lives, and our exponential abilities as an agreement to live a very focused and extremely limited life on earth. Many a philosopher has noted the forgetful nature of humankind. The great mourning of separation from the source of all creation would tend to make all of creation mourn its loss. And yet it's really a sacrifice for consciousness to experience self-hood, individuality, and differentiation. We are all separate individuals. At one time, supposedly, everything was one. We mourn this loss in uncountable ways in this state with which we find ourselves. We are expressions of the desire to be separate, and to experience creation as "separate" creations.


Existence on earth is a bi-polar and dichotomous "physical" reality. It's a temporal state for a transient consciousness to process through and grow, develop, and die. We have night and day. We have old and young. There is hot and cold, and there is North and South. As humans, we have categorized all of these phenomena into a system of duality that is stereotypically easy to understand without too much thought. If you consider the nature of quarks and their behavior of "spin," or, if you observe the negative charges of electrons, and the positive charges of protons, you see that atomic and sub-atomic particles give expression to the dual nature of reality, and also the concept of homeostasis.


Atomic and sub-atomic particles have shown us that they aren't necessarily solid and constant pieces of matter. In fact, this level of "physical" reality is really a medium of bundles of waves, and energies. This level of reality has also shown scientists the unpredictable appearing and disappearing act that particles, in their more physical expression, display. Because the systems we are familiar with in the known universe seek homeostasis without our willful influences, I extrapolate that the probable nature of reality also seeks a general homeostasis. This is a much larger, more complicated idea to understand. Nevertheless, sub-atomic particles really are weaving in and out of different probabilities in the disappearing acts that they display when observed.


The matter that composes our bodies is really one big, complicated wave assimilation when it is understood that matter is really just quanta, or bundles, of energy. I saw a movie a while back based on Phillip K. Dick's novel, A Scanner Darkly. In the beginning of the movie, a man is shown speaking to an audience. The surface of his clothes and body is constantly morphing and changing into different people, like he's a chameleon of constantly changing identities. This movie gives a good visual example on a humanly understandable level of the unpredictable, and changing reality that happens on a sub-atomic level.


This is where I conclude my theory that the probable based reality that we determine is regulated and structured by a generally negative and positive quality. The negative experiences we have are counter-balanced by the positive ones, and conversely. Every time we experience a loss of a loved one, or a change in our lives for the worse, we're actually re-experiencing the very first separation we had from the source of creation. All the tragedies we experience are just part of this great ongoing mourning. Yet, this is only a half of the experience of creation. The other half, of course, is reunifying, coming together, harmony, and so forth.


Many authors have noted that the only two most basic emotions we can ever really experience as human beings is either love or fear. There are an infinite number of nuanced emotions we can experience, of course, but love and fear seem to be the roots of them all. And we don't experience love and fear simultaneously. This is why I conclude that the multi-dimensional ocean of probabilities is really just cycles of experiencing, and re-experiencing love or fear. Just like there is night and day on planet earth. The experience of fear is not necessarily completely a thing to be eliminated absolutely, as it is just part of a cycle of experience. It is one side of the probable nature of reality seeking homeostasis. Through our own inherited willfulness, we can indeed persist in manifesting perpetual experiences of fear however. I theorize that this propensity only awaits a counterbalancing so as to fulfill homeostasis. This is much like the nature of a swing swinging back and forth. The harder one pushes the swing to go higher, the harder it will plummet to the ground, and then on to the other side of the set from its inevitable reversing points.


As I said before, the traditional 20th century Western world has done most everything to suppress the negative aspects of reality and of experience. Death, for example, is a thing most Americans try very hard to be unaware of and unfamiliar with. We like to put our elderly in nursing homes. We put our dead in graveyards away from our living places. We dread any kind of loss, and constantly seek any kind of gain for ourselves. Western worlds have not always been like this though. Death was a more accepted and real experience in the lives of people during medieval times.


Eastern religions show a much more accepting attitude towards death and experiences of fear. I think that the Western world would do well to embrace this general attitude that Eastern people hold, as our world is on the brink of financial collapse. Western governments have been designed on concepts of perpetual and indefinite expansion. This false assumption has brought the Western world into the biggest debt in all of economic history. Western planners of economy, politics, and society did not implement the natural ebb and flow of nature into the architecture of the Western world. Because of this, the loss and collapse is even more detrimental to Western people due to their indoctrination that gain is the only possibility to any kind of fulfillment.


Mankind is not the ruler over all of nature and the universe. Nature, and the probable nature of reality, have ways of regulating imbalances and eliminating excessive toxins. And it is mankind's wayward will that will be kept in check. Even if we do bring ourselves to ecological suicide, the planet will re-evolve a new intelligent form of life after our own age has come and gone as the human species. And, even if we do destroy planet earth so completely that life cannot exist on it, there will be other worlds in the universe that will evolve other intelligent life-forms who will then serve as homeostatic balances in the vast fabric of existence.

Desire in the Strategy of Spiritual Unfoldment

Some more philosophical extractions for you... The desire to control desire is the death of desire because all desires have goals, even desires to un-do desire. Buddha is said to have claimed that desire is the source of all suffering. So someone's desires are thwarted, and if that person is in a position of power, a war is then often fought. Some have speculated that the Eastern philosophy of extinguishing desire really was Eastern elites' way of controlling their populations.

If you want something, and you haven't let the pain of failure and disappointment numb you with the clouds of forgetfulness, then you haven't fully desensitized yourself from the things you want. Therefore, you have goals, and strategies to reach those goals. Many people play the game of double bind with themselves. Or, they expect to be disappointed with something or another, and then distort their true desires.

The above is a philosophy of pessimism. Pessimists insulate themselves with a minefield of projected disappointments, so as to numb disappointment. For example, if a pessimist is watching their favorite football team on television play against a "better team," they will project "their" team's loss at the end of the fourth quarter. This helps mitigate the palliatives for the advocates of pessimism. Pessimists are therefore caught in a double-bind woven by themselves. It's like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" way of thinking. Winning and losing are then miserably and successfully pushed away.

True wants and desires become a very painful thing to be avoided for many in this world. This world is manufactured for unfulfillment. Another example I've noticed is that with people who want to make art, but claim they "can't draw," are actually avoiding disappointment. The hurt and the pain that they imagine that they will encounter from their own judgments and their friend's judgments make them avoid drawing. This is an example of a thwarted desire, not an example of someone who has no desire to make art. Absence of desire isn't a problem here.

I say that this world is "manufactured for disappointment" for obvious geo-political reasons, but also because of spiritual reasons. I believe that human beings are animated by an immaterial spirit which exists beyond the physical body. Our spirits, souls, ethereal bodies, or whatever you want to call them, are part of a larger family of spirits or souls. Because we chose to embark on this physical plane of forgetfulness, distortion, and illusion, we are separated from our greater selves. Yet we all still feel the pain of separateness in so many unconscious ways. Loneliness is a universal problem humanity has for example.

Many people are constantly trying to assuage this sense of loneliness and separation through a plethora of tawdry societal schemes. The architects of our current western civilization constructed our world and their world based on the philosophical principle of service to the self as the primary motivation that moves the geo-political economy. Ideas such as this can be found in the writings of Ayn Rand, as well as The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith. Sigmund Freud contributed to this egocentric quality that people universally display on many different levels of function as well.

Materialism is a perspective that contributes to the numbing of spiritual qualities, characteristics, understandings, and unfoldments. So the pursuit of material experiences and items tends to shunt aside real individual growth and development, as well as interdependent social developments. Many writers have written about the strategy to keep citizens afraid of one another and in competition with one another so as to keep people from joining in unions, public meetings or any other kind of threatening solidified social forces elite members of society are terrified of.

It's not my aim to completely denigrate materialism. I believe all of the opportunities for experience and learning that the west's declining material culture provides are valuable feedback mechanisms that can allow for growth in understanding. The tools that are the of result western science are magnificent accomplishments for the good of all. Computers are one example, and the concomitant internet subsequently released for public use afterwards exponentially multiplied the benefits of communication, information, and connection with other people all across the planet.

At present, I am criticizing what I feel is a very lop-sided vacuum of wisdom and spiritual evolution the western worlds maintain. Eric Fromm and Carl Jung both wrote about the west's pursuits of materialist science at the consequence of avoiding any kind of education about our spiritual and even religious inclinations. I believe that in the years to come as the western cultures rapidly decline due to evil financial and political malignancies, people will be losing many of the dreams manufactured for the twentieth century generations.

The loss of material pursuits, such as good paying jobs, stable families, and equity, such as spacious homes and luxurious cars, will introvert masses of people, and will require them to reach into themselves and search for deeper meanings to their lives. And it hopefully will help in promoting deeper societal connections between people, therefore solidifying efforts for social causes through shared suffering.

Resources Are What International Conflict is About

Disclaimer: I am not making any money off of my political blogs. I post links to videos and articles I am currently interested in and learning about. I am, however, selling my various forms of art work, and you can contact me through the various ways I have provided on my profiles on the internet. Thank you.

As I have been learning about the global political economy, presently and historically, I have come across economists, and authors who are particularly noteworthy in my research. One author of note is Martin Armstrong who is an American financial specialist, and who developed the Economic Confidence Model. You can read more about him on Wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_A._Armstrong. I keep up to date with Armstrong's blogs, and, recently, he posted a blog in which I disagree with on a point. In his article on Iran & The Fate of the Middle East, he says that the Asian market is now the financial capital of the world. Please read the whole article here http://armstrongeconomics.com/iran-the-fate-of-the-middle-east/.

I have also been a fan of Gerald Celente's who is also a very accurate economic forecaster. Take the time and listen to his various interviews, as he has educated me and many other people as to why and how Asia is heavily dependent on Western countries buying the products they produce. Here is his official media blog on which you can listen to his interviews with various media outlets http://www.geraldcelente.com. I realize that there are various bloggers who are ripping off of Celente's name, and I want to be very clear with everyone that I am in no way affiliated with them.

Now, having gotten those very important points asserted, let's explore some of the things I've learned. While it is true that Asia, and China in particular, have become quite economically successful, it is largely true that China is very dependent on Americans buying and consuming their products. It was only decades ago that China was considered to be a poor country by Western standards. They are now a major and growing contending force on the global market. Keep in mind that China has become powerful with the assistance of the United States. One event in particular that accelerated this trend is when President Bill Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement on January 1st, 1994. This agreement basically allowed for businesses, corporations and manufacturers to send American labor to impoverished countries overseas. This was done essentially so that manufacturers wouldn't have to spend so much in paying for labor, worker safety, as well as taxation (not that corporations are taxed in the same way as living individuals are taxed).

You can see that the economies of the world are dependent on each other just by the brief example outlined above. Celente has asserted in many of his interviews that China is dependent on the West buying their products, and, if the West keeps on declining with a devaluing dollar, and an inability of Americans to buy China's products, then China will also decline on the global market as well. This only makes too much sense to try to explain further. How will China be able to maintain its pristine economy when Americans no longer consume their cheap, worthless junk at a profitable rate?

A business relies on the loyalty and buying capability of its customer. Will at least $16 trillion, or more, dollars of US debt be able to continue buying from China? The US is in a debt that it will never be able to pay off, and continues to devalue its currency with quantitative easing policies that have no limits. In other words, the Federal Reserve of the US (a privately owned bank) is employed by our political and economic leaders to print money unto infinity in order to rescue the US's failing economy. China gets a lot of its natural resources from South American countries. China's economy also runs on oil, just like America's, Europe's, Russia's and the rest of the world's economies. China has trade agreements with the Middle East for oil, just like the US does, and like Russia does as well.

As best as can be known by an American citizen like myself, the US has had negative and failing foreign policies with the Middle East. A large part of that conflict has to do with the implementation of Israel as a sovereign state in 1948 in land on which Palestinians had lived on and established for many, many generations previously. Basically, elite Zionists cleared out Palestinians through war crimes after world war two on the scale of what the Nazis committed upon Jewish, and all manner of other peoples during world war two. Needless to say, all of which were completely illegal according to treaties made after world war two to keep countries from invading each other, and "clearing out" established populations.

Another part of the conflict the US has with the Middle East and why the US is so intimately involved with Middle Eastern affairs is the fact that the Middle East is one of the most oil-rich places in the world, if not the most. Resources are the number one priority of any economy. Oil is undeniably a central resource that all economies of today run on. It is a feat of artistic imagination that inferior men such as Hannity or Limbaugh can keep audiences convinced that US military force is in the Middle East to fight for freedom and democracy. But that is the collective level of stupidity, conviction, and mindful mindlessness that many Americans represent.

Anyone with average intelligence can see that Washington and Wall Street "need" and want to own the Middle East. I've already posted quotes from historical US officials such as George Kennan and the grand design outlined by American foreign policy planners after world war two, so I won't go into detail proving that there is indeed a grand plan to ultimately own the whole world in some kind of new world order with Washington supposedly at its center. There is a whole history of Washington propping up puppet dictators in Middle Eastern countries so as to have them serve America's interests--primarily the monopoly of owning oil fields, and, secondarily, to keep the brutalized and impoverished populations there "stabilized." Please read this article by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, who has also educated me immensely with his articles, to learn more about the United States' involvement in the Middle East here http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2012/10/05/interview-world-affairs-monthly/#.UHfU37XdQE0.twitter

It is not a feat of the imagination to conclude that there are conflicts of varying degrees between the US, China, and Russia in regards to access to Middle Eastern oil. Israel and the United States have a very exclusive relationship in the war crimes they commit now on a daily basis in the Middle East. The psychopathic war criminal, and leader of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu wants to invade Iran like a dog scratching his ear to get a tick out. He tries to convince the world of Iran's intent to destroy the planet with non-existent inter-continental nuclear ballistic missiles by drawing a red line through a drawing of a bomb that very much looks like an incomplete bomb that Wile E. Coyote would use to try to finally get the Roadrunner before his American audience. He did this strategically, by the way, right before elections so as to pressure President Obama into helping him invade Iran.

It must clarified to the reader that Iran and Syria are the only two sovereign countries left in the Middle East. The rest of the countries are just roiling in chaotic turmoil induced by Washington's military. China and Russia are more or less passive/aggressive supporters of Syria, and Iran. Russia has been found recently to be providing arms to pro-governemental forces in Syria. These arms are used to fight the rebels in Syria who want to oust their president Bashar al Assad. The rebels of Syria, counteractively, are strongly backed and funded by Washington and US military forces. Once the US accomplishes destroying Syria's sovereignty and securing it with military forces, all that will be left to accomplish in the Middle East will be the destruction of Iran and its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Russia and Asia are particularly concerned with the United States essentially owning Middle Eastern oil fields and governments, and I can see that there would be conflicts between the major powers of the world if it came down to the US and Israel waging war with Iran on blatantly deceptive reasons, just like the US's waged war with Iraq. I really don't think Russia and China will be happy and willing slaves to US foreign policy, and unwittingly assist the US take over the Middle East to their own strategic and economic detriment. I am certain that Russia and China do not want the asinine, corrupted, and now officially fascist government of the United States dictating to them oil prices to run their economies, and that they will militarily intervene with an attempted Middle Eastern takeover by the soft-handed warmongers of the US. They will do what they can to protect the independent investments they have in Middle Eastern oil. Who knows? Perhaps the still biggest military in the world--the United States'--will continue to maintain the upper hand over the psychologies of Russia and China.

A selection from Wrecked Tangles (Encircled) W series

 Exculpation 1

 Important File Cabinets Seated @ Table 1

The North-Western Edge of Flat Earth 1

Here are a few examples of some of my art from the Wrecked Tangles (Encircled) W series. I put this project off for a while again, and yet tonight I stoked up some more sub-series. I used some of the panels I created physically from the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube -- Always -- project in these three works you see here. I plan on finishing the W series before the end of April, and I may post some of that work on Flickr. Keep an eye out for unexpected creativity, as it rarely happens on assembly lines.

Always (the title of the finished Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube)

Here are some pictures of the the completed project of the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube. I now officially title it "Always." It should be apparent that it is pointing in all six directions on a three dimensional axes, therefore it really is all ways. It's also a symbolic expression of zero-point energy interpenetrating all points in the universe. As I said in some tweets on Twitter, this work has layers of text, graphics and pastel composed on each plane. This is to symbolically represent the lies, suppression, and illusions that the corporate/state owned media manufactures for the masses to digest and not think about reality.

Thank you all for your interest in this now finally completed project. Someone suggested making a three dimensional helicopter in this style, so you just might see that as an upcoming project. In the meanwhile, I will probably make another painting for the Paranormal Portrait Project, or I might embark on finishing an already prepared semi-three-dimensional work to hang on a wall. We'll see!

Sincerely,

Constructing the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube...

Here is some more of an idea of what I'm doing while constructing this Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube. You see those planes I showed you a few examples of in the last blog post pasted together around the center cube. I finally have the whole thing pasted and pinned together. I now need to paste printouts and texts on to the wooden axes rods, and put cardboard constructed pointers on the ends of them. Then I can stick them through the middle of the cube in the center of this piece.

As I mentioned before, this object is intended to be hung from the ceiling. I suppose anyone who purchases this work of art can do anything they want with it. It looks interesting as coffee table piece. Nevertheless, I plan on putting a ring through the top axes so I can attach a chain to it for hanging on a hook on the ceiling. I'll have take a few pictures of this project when it's finished and show all of you, my wonderful followers, and even you vengeful talk-show hosts.

Love,

Making the Wrecked Tangle 3D Hyper-Cube...

What you see here is some of the examples of the work I've already completed for this particular three dimensional object. Actually it's going to end up being a hyper-cube as can only be expressed in three dimensions. The top image was made as a preliminary sketch for the project. In the lower left hand corner of that sketch you can see a thumbnail of the 3D hyper-cube. The next image you see is what I have already completed as far as the core of the cube is concerned. The last four images you see are the planes that will be glued on to each corner/side of the cube. This will create square openings for all six sides of the cube. Axes go through the center of the cube pointing in all six directions. They will have pointers on the ends of them when I'm done. This object is meant to be hung from the ceiling as a sort of interesting ornament one normally never sees.
