With the evolution of technology and the relative ease of self publishing; I may try to take all the thoughts herein and write a book. Here is a rough draft of the beginning. The content is contained through this thread, to be reworked as the first several chapters:
The Empirical God
The Intent and Physiology of Spirit
ForwardAs all journeys begin with that proverbial first step; this endeavor is a continuation, I believe, of on ongoing saga that began with the first spark of consciousness. Just as there are universal constants that we rely on such as math and chemistry; there are universal needs, it appears, to make sense of why we exist and to understand what is indeed running the show. This effort I have embarked on has its genesis in an independent revelation...an epiphany if you will. But as with all bolts of inspiration, it is wise to consider the extrapolation of consequence. To conjure the journey metaphor, what if the first step takes you toward a precipice leading to the depths of darkness. It is because I have seen and felt the awesome presence of spiritual need that I must surrender to the fact that faith must be grounded in empirical science in order to quench the thirst of the evolutionary informed paradigm of theology. If our need to know could be reconciled with a faith that there must be some kind of controlling force, I must believe that power and glory exist as a concept somewhere in between past and future and alpha and omega. That moment -- that concept -- is the connection of a never ending cycle of life and death, positive and negative, perceived good and contrived evil.
The scientific community, it appears, has by consensus rallied around the notion that the 'Big Bang' is the beginning of all reality. But to claim this rivals the notion of diminishing god by labeling the concept and claiming to know the nature of ultimate intent. Instead, just as evolution has been dismissed as theory and embraced as factual -- at least as a physiological process -- is it not time that we as conscious beings recognize that we are one body comprised of shared atomic makeup?... in other words the 'Big Bang' is the spark that is the intersection of time and space. It is not the beginning, I must conclude, but the defining moment of our singular connection. In humbly recognizing our interdependence the enlightened recognize the futility of righteousness and embrace the role of oneness with 'source'...the shared energy of consciousness.

Chapter One
If you believe that the big bang came from a singular particle, then you should see that all matter is linked. And therefore Universal codes (keys, waves, transmitters - God - whatever you want to call it) can change all that there is, was or ever will be.
If we exist as communities of cells - the evolution of combining elements from the original big bang(s) - then how do these cells perform in a collective?
In cellular biology, we know that the endoplasmic reticulum links the nucleus to the outside world. We know how the information enters. But I don't think we understand what goes in and how it is regulated. Does the single cell determine what stimuli can enter, or is it directed by a 'higher power' i.e., a living host. This seems to be a metaphor about our connectivity as human beings in a larger organism.
We may not fully understand what may trigger certain hormonal or electro-chemical releases. The physical stimuli have not all been isolated and known how they may interact... This train of thought is the continuation of my belief that there are wavelengths of information that may be so discreet and infinitesimally small that we do not comprehend their role and significance yet. But theoretically they must (seem to) exist. This waveform stimuli could be likened to spiritual energy with the impetus in the physiology of thought and intent and not solely in miraculous and immeasurable generation. We have isolated waves of sound, color and other chemical parameters and spectrum. My belief is that there is much more that we have yet to discover about how emotion and evolution are affected, propelled and promulgated. I believe that all triggers must have some inertia or force to precipitate action. Chemical and (sub) atomic reactions indeed involve movement of particles. The fact that neutrinos (subatomic particles believed to be from the original big bang(s) ) are neutrally charged and that they proliferate and penetrate all that there is around us leads me to postulate that they constitute a medium for waves to function in. Their ability to take on positive or negative energies, I believe, make them the conduit, matrix or field that allows directional evolutionary data to travel. 'Spiritual' energy need not be mysterious if it is a force field that may be discovered with empirical data. I would say that there is plenty of anecdotal evidence that non verbal communication has been occurring long before language was formulated. Genetics and evolution have to have (I believe) a mechanism to transfer data. Radar, microwaves, UV, sonic and ultra sonic waves for examples were here nonetheless before someone isolated them and identified them. Our ancestors had no idea what the science was behind so many of the phenomenon (to them) that we take for granted.
So in looking at communities of cells and how they are regulated; we must look at how DNA has formed into a processor through the genome. Inasmuch as the genome is the hardware of our common makeup; the epigenome, it would seem, acts as the software that allows us to nurture or alter intermediary and trans generational changes in gene expression. It maybe that wave energy actually operates the on and off switches that control our cellular functions to include brain waves, atomic signals and other energies from various sources. Auditory, food and chemical input - acts of nurture or deprivation...all these variables... it seems so clear to me, have true physiological impact on cell biology if not DNA alteration.Therefore our commonality appears to be from a linked source. Our ability to communicate with our kind and to change ourselves and each other through our actions and influence is enough anecdotal evidence for me to be satisfied that we are indeed linked.
I will add that we are, I believe, bio super computers with electro-chemo-nuclear power stations built into our beings. I think we are emitters and receivers of discreet and esoteric signals that amount to the language of power and purpose. We have the fluids, the minerals, the electrical and atomic capabilties to function as such. Through our intent I think we can generate 'waves' And I think calming these waves can be instrumental in peace and balance. The cycles of opposites must be held in check or the unfettered force will consume the other, be it positive or negative in charge.
As we dig deeper; we can observe universal patterns that show an evolution through systematic direction. There are cycles of life and death and regeneration in nature. We see certain plant life display the cycle in a discernible comparison. Models of the solar system, I think, show that all of space and time is repeatedly growing, decaying and being recycled (e.g. black holes vacuuming up debris and redistributing the matter in gamma ray bursts of possibly the building blocks of new creations of life ).
So in this living, growing phase of our conscious awareness of self; is individual consciousness as important as the contribution it makes to a collective? Perhaps our lifetime energies are spent on elevating or negatively influencing the human condition. Maybe the bliss or misery we pass on continues as charged 'god particles'. ? Our state of awareness may be like a dream - our self then actually illusion. Our spiritual energy is then available as inspiration or as a haunting reminder of failure...
If there is directional force in eternal flux then what is the foundation of the source energy? Neutrinos, I believe, since the big bang(s) are the building blocks of string theory particles. i.e., that they are already and always have been the source of this evolutionary field of energy. The transmission of positive and negative, I believe, takes place on a subatomic level that we can not fathom as of yet. The Higgs Boson - the God Particle (see link further into this post) - is along the lines of what I am trying to say. The difference is that I believe the neutrino is the particle that makes up the field. There may be smaller strings and components; but neutrinos are prevasive and known to be ubiquitously omnipresent. Nonetheless serious efforts are underway to isolate this mysterious particle (lepton) in the controversial nuclear collider that some (erroneously) believe could undo us all (by creating a blackhole on earth). All that said, my theory is not without merit. There are substantive concepts in these ideas that have roots in legitimate science.
The force field we must all operate in, I believe, can make our intent influential to others. We all, for the most part, have hope at some point. We know what positive energy can accomplish whether you believe in prayer, meditation, and other focused energies of love and good will. Conversely there are equal and opposite forces to balance or vanguish the prevailing sentiments in the larger society. Negative forces are just as real and powerful as positive force. The cycle of life and death, good vs evil etc will always be ongoing. It is our connection to each other that strengthens our resolve to evolve. Hatred, ignorance and greed can foster atrocities just as peace and love can quell the tide of negative energy. We can evolve in either direction. The prevailing force in our environment will determine our values and influence our actions. But horror, outrage and injustice can be felt - not just learned. These forces may change our collective voices to prevent said atrocities from occurring again - at least in the same manner. e.g. - the Holocaust. I believe sentiment is contagious. Mob violence, hope, fear...are these learned or are they tapped in to?
If we as humans have consciousness and intent; how does our physiology differ in autonomic responses or from animal behaviors? Stampeding cattle, animals sensing danger before it is arrives, as examples, are instinctual behaviors - not learned. How do these 'instincts' get the data transmitted? How can flocks of birds fly in unison- weaving and darting - without colliding? Why can we accept wireless telephones and not wireless data from the generation of 'willpower'? Goodwill, and bad intentions I believe are equally viable forces doing battle every moment of every day.
In determining how certain genetic markers in our DNA affect change; the study of twins has revealed data that otherwise might takes much more trial and error experimentation. Identical twins are instrumental in identifying and isolating the genetic markers that may help understand specific codes in the language. (through comparative differences resulting in environmental influences) But it I bet the combination and the variables will make us being 'fluent' in such matters a long way off.
AGTC may be the amino acids that link to form the genome of each species (Uracil in RNA); but living creatures are so dynamic and so intricate that we may never know fully what lies beneath the surface. We are evolving everyday. The changes both short term and long term make the riddles all the more complex.
So amid all the changes how do we assimilate in the common collective of our 'kind'? The concept of self has been evolving since the dawn of mankind. It would seem foolish to ignore the possibility of our energy not being reborn. The energy of the great figures of history live on through their teachings and so called spiritual impact. Serious evidence must exist that there is merit to the existence of a controlling and directing energy source if billions are being spent on the Higgs Boson project (atom smasher - linked further down...))
*********************************************************************
What drives trends in music, fashion and morality etc? Granted the iconoclastic individual may set the stage. But it is how new ideas are assimilated and acted upon that, to me, proves that we are all connected. When universal codes or truths get imparted is when we as members of society affirm or resist change.
My understanding of behavior and evolution leads me to believe that our outward intent and perception of truth is broadcast in discernible proprietary code. This waveform data is thereby useful in the propulsion of change be it positive or negative. How else can we evolve and change as a species and a society? I will go as far as speculating that our DNA signatures contain cues that are passed on via subatomic signal as individual harmonic resonance. These vibes constitute our singular aura - and our contribution to the collective - for better or worse. It is how we program external stimuli through our intent that we elevate our spirit or how we find the pits of misery. And we all too often take others along for the ride.
I believe that we all have the necessary atomic make-up and chemical capabilities to be representative of all that there is through the interchange of stimuli.. It is by revelation to one another and the subsequent acts of individual observation that we chose our destiny. We can't know it all. But we can each impart truth in sufficient measure to light a path for others to follow. Likewise we can cast umbrage over our selfish intent and lead others astray. It just seems logical that if we can create wireless telephones and computers that we indeed have superior capabilities that we have yet to recognize and harness within our own beings. Again, the body contains conductive metals, electro/chemical and atomic power and the intellect to broadcast our will. Us not knowing it does not make it less true and effective.
If the four amino acids in our DNA can link up in strands of endless possibilities; how do we explain the efficacy of the data transmission. How do we evolve at all without vibrating stimuli broadcasting our intent or altering our genetic makeup. It just seems so clear that we are all screaming out our will and our wishes... and they are manifest in subatomic waves. The entire universe seems to be an eternal battle of these forces of 'good' versus 'evil' - or as I prefer, 'Positive versus Negative. These forces marshal the neutral subatomic particles (neutrinos, leptons etc) in a matrix that is in effect a wireless Ethernet, I postulate. 'a heavenly or diabolic version of 'Twitter' on a grand scale if you will....

The preferred name for the God particle among physicists is the Higgs boson, or the Higgs particle, or simply the Higgs, in honor of the University of Edinburgh physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed its existence more than 40 years ago. Most physicists believe that there must be a Higgs field that pervades all space; the Higgs particle would be the carrier of the field and would interact with other particles, sort of the way a Jedi knight in Star Wars is the carrier of the "force." The Higgs is a crucial part of the standard model of particle physics-but no one's ever found it.

Theoretical physicist John Ellis is one of the CERN scientists searching for the Higgs. He works amid totemic stacks of scientific papers that seem to defy the normal laws of gravity. He has long, gray hair and a long, white beard and, with all due respect, looks as if he belongs on a mountaintop in Tibet. Ellis explains that the Higgs field, in theory, is what gives fundamental particles mass. He offers an analogy: Different fundamental particles, he says, are like a crowd of people running through mud. Some particles, like quarks, have big boots that get covered with lots of mud; others, like electrons, have little shoes that barely gather any mud at all. Photons don't wear shoes-they just glide over the top of the mud without picking any up. And the Higgs field is the mud.
This reminds me of 'Suspended in Gaffa' And much of Kate's work reminds me of theoritical physics as tied to the human condtion. " e.g.:
'just like a radio- I pick you up' from Kate's 'The Fog' may be one of the most prophetic lyrics ever written... Everything is just an array vibrations. All that we see, hear, smell, feel and taste is quantified and altered by varying waveform stimuli. This, to me, is what the album Aerial is all about. Think about all the cues and references to waves and vibrations therein - including the cover itself... Wouldn't it be great if we could explain 'god' and spirituality through science and our interdependence. What kind of language is this?
Perception is subjective I think. We are all sensitized as much or as little as we intend to be IMHO. The limits of our capabilities are often augmented by the strength of a heightened awareness to compensate with our other sensory apparatuses. Our experiences are unique. Nonetheless we share enough universal commonality to identify our surroundings. It is those individuals with exceptional perception that we single out as artists and leaders. They help us see the underlying truth. It is not coincidental that we share universal code as a 'range' External stimuli exists as waveform energy. We pick it up within the spectrum of our unique make up as defined by our genetics and our individual environment (IMO)
Further, I believe that anthropology must (and does) factor for cultural and genetic influences. The physiology and emotional make up of the sexes have indeed, it would seem, been influenced by role and perception. The genetic code passed on would dictate propensities and functionality within the gender designations (with exceptions and mutations of course) The music of Kate Bush, again, has an affinity with the subject matter. 'Running Up That Hill, comes to mind...It is one reason I find her the most erudite and prophetic song writer and artist of my estimation.
Intent is a powerful determination. Innate proclivities nonetheless can be altered by sheer will. Sexual identity and role expectations can be challenged within our unique environments. The power of suggestion and the revelation of 'new' ideas can go against convention at any time it seems. And yes hormonal differences do influence our actions. But these hormones are, I believe, controlled by genetic code being passed on as well as the influence of societal shifts based on sentiment being perceived on proprietary and subliminal level. This occurs by what I believe is waveform communication yet to be identified, but there nevertheless. I believe that we reprogram ourselves by the sensory stimuli that we chose to respond to. Intent is key, I believe with all my heart, to the overriding development of the individual within the collective society of species. Coincidence then often becomes karma. And changes may be sudden. Or they may take generations to evolve. But what we can envision is instantaneous if we 'chose' to open our minds to enlightenment.
I hope and believe my identity will survive my life in this realm. But what that will be or how I am able to perceive it is entirely mysterious. So I must try to imagine what purpose there is in this world and how best I can elevate my spirit and my impact. It would appear that many of the world's religions and many of the great thinkers of our esteem have concluded some common truths. The mistake, I believe, that many of them make is the extension of their certainty and in the exclusion that they practice. I think that the nature of the universe is bigger than any belief system can entirely grasp. I am happy with believing that the proverbial bed I make here is the one I can be comfortable with for eternity. And in this domain my imagination is without fetter. I don't need my body to dream - and I hope to be able to trade in on an upgrade as I acquire more spiritual wealth.
it is a safe assumption for me to to realize what causes joy and happiness and what causes destructive consequence. My intent and my behavior can determine what plane I will ascend to or spiral downwardly in to... Yet what may be the most profound clue to higher power is grace and forgiveness. This - when we extend our unconditional love - truly makes us divine... IMHO...
As a thought experiment let's imagine our most vivid dreams. How can we create such elaborate and complex worlds when we surrender to another reality?
Through our common experiences we have all gathered enough stimuli to feed and foster unlimited possibilities in our unconscious and somnabulant modes. Auditory, olfactory, and visual waves (as examples) of information have been translated into brain waves that instruct our minds to create scenarios outside our physical realm. Is this plane not omnipresent in the ether? I would speculate that it is. Can we achieve eternal bliss? I hope so. But am I ignorant to have faith in this? Or are those that detract from this way of thinking limiting there access to a source that is surely there? The source may be an unknown. But the scientific view is that we all probably came from a singular particle that contained all of the universe. To me - that is our source energy. That is what we can all aspire to discover and to be at peace with... we may scoff at the uneducated and the superstitious; we may be just as ignorant in the grand scheme. To deny the merit or the importance of spiritual power - however it manifests itself - is to ignore, what I believe is, basic and fundamental need. Just listen to small A.M. radio stations anytime of the day. Religious fervor is non stop. Conversely academia often ignores the anecdotal evidence pointing to higher powers or 'common source' energy that has yet to be discovered or verified empirically.
We must each find our way. But sharing our limited view of truth is a wonderful way to expand horizons. We all have a unique story and vision. Art, music, beauty, philosophy among other noble iconic and sacred truths can elevate the human experience to the sublime. A song, a poem, a glowing bliss within can be a bit of heaven. These are the kinds of things - Universal codes or truths - that I intend to find and try to share.
I have cultivated a vivid imagination with an intrepid view of what may be possible without the constraints of societal expectations. All is possible in your thoughts. I am able to experience joy and pleasure vicariously through observing others or just being open to their energy.
I differentiate an involuntary dream state from the dreams that are aspirations and meditations. Cultivating our conscious minds to escape the bounds of our horizons, I believe, opens the gateway to more vivid and enjoyable unconscious thoughts. And if there are truly mechanisms to transmit our intent and emotion; why would it not be possible that these reverberations be kept alive by congruent sentiment in the collective of mankind. Is this not how Jesus stays alive in spirit with his followers - just as other influential souls? I plan to ride the waves as long as an infinite array of possibilities exist. And they do... And the vicarious rewards of Altruism, as much as can be exercised and still be viable in this realm, has been the best 'theology' for me that produces truly divine benefits...
