Week 5: The Beauty of A World Oscillating Between Perfection and Imperfection


THE (A)SYMMETRICAL WORLD

"It's a wiggly world." - Alan Watts

The only constant in the universe is Change, right? But in order for anything to exist, there needs to be a reliable, symmetrical structure with which atoms and energy can come together. This we could call symmetry and super symmetry. One of the things about symmetry is that it has the potential to stay still, so to speak. The structure of a snowflake is perfect, and there's no need for movement for it to exist. Gravity just acts upon it. The Water molecule, in contrast, has a natural polarity between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms that inherently allow movement. So the natural imbalance enlists activity, if you will imagine, and is the perfect analogy for Change. We have Sacred Geometry established as the foundation of life: the Golden ratio and the Flower of Life are two great examples of this. The Golden Ratio is (almost) subconsciously used the DNA of trees, flowering plants, human, and can be even be seen in galaxies and our solar system. Maybe it's part of a driving force for life to exist, or maybe it just emerges as an integrated aspect of life as it continues to emerge, correct, and diversify.



The Flower of Life can be seen in meiosis and also in a zygote at a certain point of cellular division. This is a 3-D kind of symmetry. You can also see the human drive to find balance through duality in the Sri yantra, Platonic solids, and the Tai Ji (the yi yang symbol). In duality, you can easily imagine why we simplify life into two opposing and counterbalancing forces. We may have perfected structure that exists as symmetry, but we also need the asymmetry to trigger movement and evolution.  Perhaps we could refer to entropy and the Uncertainty principle at this point, right? The inherent aspect of the universe to make "mistakes" or diversify the immobile perfect of symmetry so that everything can keep emerging into existence. In a way, I imagine the universe existing in a proactive way - it maintains the necessary structure for things to exist & it shakes things up in order to continue changing, correcting, and evolving through the reality of diversification, mutation, and balancing.

When we see a symmetrical shape, there's a spiritual captivation: either in a beautiful face of a human or flower. There is also awe that can be inspired by grand asymmetry as well, like the grand nature of an ancient mountain. I know we strive to make sense of things, and symmetry is sort of more comforting for us, because it has order and structure. But the beauty of randomness, mutation, adaptation, and little quirks the universe throws into our personal lives and in larger schemes is because the only constant is Change. Change allows life to continue. Chaos has purpose. It moves the perfect structures of the universe.

CP VIOLATION

I don't want to go into the technical details of this too much, BUT I do understand that the CP Violation might explain why we can't find Dark Energy or Dark Mattter, because they may have decayed away.

SACRED GEOMETRY AND PHYSICS    

There
 Is definitely a connection between Sacred Geometry and Physics.  They are both attempts to explain the beautiful chaotic mystery of universal phenomena.

Week 8/10 : Classical Physics - Newton, Descartes

Newton’s Three Laws and me 1st Law of Motion Objects in rest tend to stay at rest & objects in motion tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. I totally take this realization for granted because it seems like common sense. And now after learning about quantum physics, it seems like it excludes a lot of factors. 2nd Law of Motion Force equals mass x acceleration & Acceleration equals force divided by mass. This makes sense to me. But I don’t feel inspired to elaborate on it a lot.   3rd Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. You can see this applies in a big way to the physical world, but it doesn’t apply to the world of relationship dynamics or human psychology.  Our “Energy Efficient” Culture The American Culture is undoubtedly wasteful. It's based on excessive consumption & convenience. There’s energy wasted on every level of industrial production and capitalist systems. It’s really u...

Biophysics: Recognizing Acupuncture in the Medical Picture

Acupuncture as effective energy medicine  I think what is missing from western allopathic medicine is energy medicine, which is maybe why TCM might seem unfounded and too foreign. What I find interesting is that acupuncture has been developed for thousands of years based on observation of the universe in a different way than western medicine. Physics has recently developed the concepts of the  Quantum field  and quantum entanglement, which illustrates some of the ways TCM functions. My personal experiences with acupuncture have shown me some of the depth and expanse of its effects. I have felt energy goes up the acupuncture meridians, floated into space, and have felt inflammation go down in my intestines. It is such a fascinating medicine & shows there's so much more to the universe than I thought before attending TCM school. Kirlian Photography  There is more to life than the physical matter we can observe with our senses. I love that Kirlian photogr...

Week 4 Reflections: The Four Forces

 How has e=mc2 affected you? It helps me look at matter as slowly moving energy, which is useful when thinking about Qi. It also reminds me how the frequency of Vibration of atoms determines states of matter: liquid, gas, or solid. The equation also reminds me we're made out of particles and elements created by ancient exploded stars, and that we all share the same origin of creation - the Big Bang, which makes me feel more connected to people and the environment.  How would you compare the four “forces”? These 4 forces hold the world together and allow it to function and exist. Strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force allow materials to interact chemically by way of electrons. Electromagnetic forces help object interact in a field of attraction and repulsion. Gravity brings everything into relationship of attraction and holding.  What is the function of gravity? Gravity's function is Attraction, but just enough so that moons and planets can orbit arou...
