I have been reading up on experimental design for biologists and working on a reading repertoire to get caught up on some knowledge before entering this course. Experimental Design for Biologists by David J Glass was recommended to me by one of my scientific advisors. And I’m very glad I am taking the time to read this because it has certainly opened up my mind to how researchers conduct their research! Research itself is very different than artistic practices although artistic practices DO contain some research.

 

The point in the book that I’m at is learning how to build a framework for your research and essentially thinking and that concept has really sunk in especially with my recent strong desires to get really organized. At the moment my framework is LSF (light, sound, form) and identifying its’ existence in the pursuit of proving a special kind of existence. LSF is not a new concept and there have been many researchers before me pursuing various sides of LSF. However, not many of these previous researchers have developed a bit of a framework. It was either for light, sound or form, not for all three.

 

This concept of developing a framework has really stuck with me and made me think about my own research. So far it’s all just been reading about LSF and how art can be applied, but then I thought more about a point/observation I had made several years ago with a colleague of mine. We were talking about the golden ratio and how in many forms in our physical reality contains this number sequence and form. It was peculiar to me because at the same time I had also read a monograph about PI being the intersection of linear and non-linear reality as well as a recent article about ‘golden’ being a reductive word for the word light.

 

Which brought me to the realization/observation that everything in our physical reality is an expression of the golden ratio or light itself and it’s many variations and therefore the investigation of LSF itself. To me LSF transcends the golden ratio, it explains how every physical thing is an expression or an intersection of light. Therefore, my framework would be proving a special kind of existence within the LSF framework in that physical reality is light itself.

Workshop: PVMA – Microscopy Workshop

Leave a comment

LEEDS, MA – Last weekend, I attended the mycological association’s microscopy workshop and learned how to create a slide and use a microscope. This is something I’ve been wanting to get into for awhile now, and now that I have moved and have my own space I can plan/save some money to buy a microscope. I’ve been seeing some of my friends’ microscopy images and I think it might be a cool and interesting project to do microscopic images with my electrography, as they too in some respects are microscopy.

The leader of the association had a home lab setup and microscopes for us to use. I really enjoyed learning in an environment that wasn’t stressful nor as formal as a classroom and aim to find more workshops like this in the valley.

Solving E=MC2?

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Inquiry: Solving E=MC2?” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:100%20light%20regular%3A100%3Anormal” el_class=”widget-title”][vc_column_text]While thinking about the conversation I had lately about the manifest world being an interference and that spirals are expressions of intersections of light, I thought about Einsteins’ equation… and remembered that not too long ago I applied the golden mean, 1.61 to Einsteins’ E=MC2… I think I may be getting somewhere with all this physics stuff and think that conventional physics is extremely wrong in some things… but then I realized I already came to this conclusion last March when I wrote my “Traveling Faster than the Speed of Light” post.

E = 12.0107 (amu of carbon) x 2.61803399 (golden mean squared, c2).

E= 31.4444

If we move the decimal point over, it would be E=3.14 and that would be Pi; or the intersection of linear and non-linear reality!

So Carbon would travel 3.14 miles per second*. 

E= 15.9994 (amu of oxygen) x 2.61803399 (golden mean squared, c2).

E= 41.8869 or E=4.1886  … oxygen would travel 4.18 miles per second. 

* this means that it would travel 3.14 miles each second

 Silver would travel…

E= 107.8682 amu (amu of silver) x 2.61803399 (golden mean squared, c2).

E= 282.4026 … E=28.2402 miles per second

According to this treatise… Pi (3.14) is the intersection of linear and non-linear reality. This would also correspond to the idea that spirals are expressions of intersections of light. If carbon is a fundamental element of the manifest world, it could perhaps speed up or slow down light helping to create the interference. Pi creates a spiral, which is seen in nature… http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathtrek_09_02_02.html

E= 1.00794 (amu of Hydrogen) x 2.61803399 (golden mean squared, c2).

E= 2.6388 / 10

E= 0.2638

Hydrogen would travel 0.2638 miles per second

If we wanted to find how fast water traveled, it would travel 4.7162 m/s. ( Hydrogen + Hydrogen + Oxygen)

0.2638 + 0.2638 + 4.1886 = 4.7162 miles per second[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sg498_8790gxe”][vc_custom_heading text=”Support the Research” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25px|text_align:left|color:%2311322a” google_fonts=”font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”New Products” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:100%20light%20regular%3A100%3Anormal” el_class=”widget-title”][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”6″ gap=”10″ item=”basicGrid_NoAnimation” grid_id=”vc_gid:1568585838966-fda97a3f-40cd-3″ taxonomies=”579, 632, 631, 580, 582, 581″][vc_custom_heading text=”Other Posts” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:100%20light%20regular%3A100%3Anormal” el_class=”widget-title”][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”6″ gap=”10″ item=”basicGrid_NoAnimation” grid_id=”vc_gid:1568585839015-43bc38dd-ef21-4″ taxonomies=”132″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The Universe is Flat

For aeons philosophers and scientists have debated what the physical shape of the universe is. Just recently on Universetoday a journalist reported that researchers and scientists have finally declared that the Universe is flat. Say what?

Various universe evolution scenarios. A universe with too much density collapses in on itself, a critical density universe stays static, while a universe with not enough density keeps expanding at a steady (coasting) rate. However, today’s cosmology puts emphasis upon the cosmological constant, which gives an accelerating expansion. Does this mean that density is irrelevant? Credit: NASA.

Tibetan mandala depicting “Mount Meru” the object that in Tibetan mythology said to have created the universe.

“A remarkable finding of the early 21st century, that kind of sits alongside the Nobel prize winning discovery of the universe’s accelerating expansion, is the finding that the universe is geometrically flat. This is a remarkable and unexpected feature of a universe that is expanding – let alone one that is expanding at an accelerated rate – and like the accelerating expansion, it is a key feature of our current standard model of the universe.

It may be that the flatness is just a consequence of the accelerating expansion – but to date this cannot be stated conclusively.”

Metaphysics teaches us that all things that contain an electromagnetic field or magnetic field will be torodial in shape. This applies to the human, the earth and they teach also the universe…

So if the universe is flat, that must mean its obviously not torodial, and obviously not electromagnetic/mechanical as the physicists have always thought it must be. But… how can 3 dimensional objects exist in a geometrically flat universe?

The above image is taken from The Scientific Indian blog. The author, Selva, posted how he was questioned about the connectedness of this world through synchronicity. He connected how the Belousov-Zhabontinsky reaction looked like a CMB picture of the universe. Explain that! BZ reactions are typically known for their formations of archimedes spirals which are said to be waves of information rather than mechanical.

Do we live in a universe that communicates more through information transmissions/transactions than through mechanical motions?

O, to become a star

8 Comments

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_custom_heading text=”Inquiry: O, to become a star” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:100%20light%20regular%3A100%3Anormal” el_class=”widget-title”][vc_column_text]

Every little girl (and boy) dreams of becoming a star. To be in the spotlight, to be famous and known for your talent(s) and to be recognized; to have fame and a huge fortune. This all sounds great, especially for life in the physical world. Has it occurred to anyone, however, that the famous are actually a ‘top’ secret club that is extremely sinister on the inside? Has it ever occurred to you that some of the humanitarian songs and activities that the celebrities do is just for show? To hide the REAL person? Duality is something that everyone should take seriously into consideration; you’ll learn that when something SEEMS positive on the outside, may actually be extremely sinister on the inside. Its also called the concept of balance, the asymmetrical built of the Universe… and the best example of all of this is the Sirius constellation.

May 23, 2011 I wrote about the connection of the Sirius mystery to Human history. Which goes into detail about the symbolism regarding this star and its appearance in our society. The biggest piece of information to be learnt about this constellation is that it contains a companion star, Sirius Star A and Sirius Star B:

The triangle is a highly symbolic symbol in today’s society and the Sirius Star located around it/in the middle may in fact be the origin of the “All-Seeing Eye” or the Eye of Horus:

On the US seal, the Eye is surrounded by the words Annuit Cœptis, meaning “He approves (or has approved) [our] undertakings”, and Novus Ordo Seclorum, meaning “New Order of the Ages”. The Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid with thirteen steps, representing the original thirteen states and the future growth of the country. The lowest level of the pyramid shows the year 1776 in Roman numerals. The combined implication is that the Eye, or God, favors the prosperity of the United States. Novus Ordo Seclorum is actually from a prophecy.

“Novus Ordo Seclorum is a quotation from the 4th Ecolque and was borrowed in turn by Virgil from the mystic Sibylline records.” – Charles A.L. Totten ‎

“A mighty order of ages is born anew. Both the prophetic Virgin and Saturnian kingdoms now return. Now a new progeny is let down from the lofty heavens… The Boy soon to be born in whom the iron age shall come to an end, and the golden one shall arise again in the whole earth.” ‎

“Whatso tracks remain of our old wickedness, once done away, shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear. He shall receive the life of gods, and see heroes with gods commingling, and himself be seen of them.”

“And with his father’s worth reign o’er a world at peace.”

The Age of Horus was predicted by Aleister Crowley, an occult practitioner, who had been extremely influential to the music industry:

the Aeon of Horus the dualistic approach to religion will be transcended through the abolition of the present notion of a God external to oneself. The two will be united. “Man will no longer worship God as an external factor, as in Paganism, or as an internal state of consciousness, as in Christianity, but will realize his identity with God.” The new Aeon of Horus, based on the union of the male and female polarities, will involve the magical use of semen and ecstasy, culminating in an apotheosis of matter – “in the realization of the old Gnostic notion that matter is not dual but one with the Spirit” — symbolized by the androgynous Baphomet of the Templars and the Illuminati.

My thoughts of the Illuminati and BS that’s been going around: I understand why everything about them seems mysterious, wrong, and sinister. Just plain evil, etc. But how can we assume that they are? What if they created that image of themselves just to deceive us even more? You can’t be certain that this group is evil… just because they are doing things out of the norm they aren’t evil. What if they are preparing us for the BIG event that will happen in the future? What if they will become our teachers?

Just because the Illuminati make themselves appear evil because they are breaking down our society as we know it to form a One World Government…  doesn’t mean they are. We are used to the current world and anyone going against it is deemed “evil”…

No one is certain that they are evil, and yes sometimes the imagery and symbolism may be evil, but like all Duality, whatever appears EVIL may actually be GOOD and whatever APPEARS to be GOOD may actually be EVIL.

Duality is huge in my life, my clairvoyance is based off of it… like whatever appears in my mind as the total and final outcome of something… it ends up as the complete opposite even if my gut and intuition says so…

Like for example, over the summer I was trying to take out the air conditioner at my summer house and it fell out of the window. I got injured pretty badly, and didn’t even notice until I was outside. I was balling my eyes out and all I could think of was the air conditioner on the ground in pieces… but as soon as I turned around the corner, it wasn’t. It was lying a on pile of dead leaves, protected.

Just because something goes through your mind and that you are absolutely sure of it, doesn’t mean that it is true. Just because the symbolisms that we see in society may be evil, their Ultimate meanings may actually not be what we think they are.

“Had! The manifestation of Nuit.

The unveiling of the company of heaven.

Every man and woman is a star.

Every number is infinite; there is no difference.

Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men!”

 – The opening lines of the Book of the Law

I do beLIEve that evil exists but at the same time (a big surprise here) I don’t. Because of the concept of Duality…. in order to be ONE you need TWO.

Jesus said in the Gospel of Thomas; “On the day when you were one, you became two. But when you become two, what will you do?”

The following article was one that came up recently on my facebook feed via Orion Magazine. It’s posting couldn’t be timelier with my residency in Greve. I have taken a lot of inspiration so far, so much so it’s taking me a couple of days to get through this article! I have never run across an article so inspiring before.

Liberation – Kali

Leave a comment

The Hindu Goddess Kali – the goddess of time and change, death and rebirth, visited me through you. While at the time I didn’t know who she was, or what was happening and I felt hurt, lost and confused. At first I was really hurt, and the confusion was grand. Even a year after what happened between us, I still feel close to you, felt love and companionship – something I’ve been desperately seeking for awhile. I admired you; adored you… Everything you’ve taught me through working with you made me become where I am today in my own business practices. I valued you, saw you as an inspiration…. of whom I aspire to become someday (more or less).

But like with all Goddesses, the goddess energy is the female energy of the manifest world – no matter the culture. It resides in medicine plants and many other earthly forms. As I was discussing with my spiritual mentoree about a recent article posted by The Sacred Science website that the medicine plants hold the sacred energy of each goddess archetype – in the case of the article; Kali is the goddess form of the hibiscus plant. This goes back to the spiritual practice of correspondences – in mystery schools they teach that each plant or mineral has correspondences to amplify that specific energy. She [the Goddess Kali] offers liberation through time and change – death and rebirth and that’s why she came to visit me through you.

Rethinking what happened between you and me a few weeks ago, I have realized how much of a significant impact it has made on me. My spiritual mentoree even mentioned that my energy was lighter after the fact. Like I was broken free from the straps of the depths of my emotions and the darkness from loosing you as well as my ex in a span of two years. By providing liberation to me, I was broken free from these straps from my ex and the straps from you. It was like light had filled my life again. I had awoken from a deep sleep. I have been reborn.

photo-2Last September I went to Canada on a Biology research trip and spent time wondering the forests and practiced some Forest Bathing or what the Japanese refer to as “shinrin-yoku”. I ran across an art journal prompt board from pinterest with a pin of a picture of someones notes regarding different elements and how they are healing. They mention that forests protect our spirits with their canopies as well as energy. Before my trip, I prepared an artist journal and did a ‘pre visualization’ page. Normally, I don’t share what I’ve done in these journals as its for spiritual/artistic growth, unless it seems relevant.

The page to the right is my ‘pre visualization’ page from that residency and I was illustrating how I felt, and how I foresee what the experience may bring me. I was hoping to have this experience relieve me from recent events in my life and allow me to move me forward. At the time I was visualizing a turning a corner in my life – not necessarily liberation – but a new era, a new life cycle. It was just around the corner, but I wasn’t seeing it because I was so despondent. I had lost the light of my life, my inspiration, and a companion. 7 months later, that liberation came to me – (through you being mean to me!) – just in time for the spring equinox. I have never felt better and I cannot wait to see what comes to me for my ‘pre visualization’ page for Italy!

What a Shaman See’s In a Mental Hospital

Leave a comment

This is one of the most enlightening articles I’ve read in awhile regarding Mental Illness… and it makes SO much sense from this point of view and what is happening around me. This enlightenment has been having me thinking that one of the things that I’ve always wanted to do is go to an indigenous culture or village and learn to become a shaman:

In the shamanic view, mental illness signals “the birth of a healer,” explains Malidoma Patrice Somé.  Thus, mental disorders are spiritual emergencies, spiritual crises, and need to be regarded as such to aid the healer in being born.

What those in the West view as mental illness, the Dagara people regard as “good news from the other world.”  The person going through the crisis has been chosen as a medium for a message to the community that needs to be communicated from the spirit realm.  “Mental disorder, behavioral disorder of all kinds, signal the fact that two obviously incompatible energies have merged into the same field,” says Dr. Somé.  These disturbances result when the person does not get assistance in dealing with the presence of the energy from the spirit realm.

For those who aren’t sure what I research… I research how conscious reality sustains itself through light, sound and vibration. I try and answer questions as to how physical reality is created and sustained… as scientists look through a microscope into matter all they see are atoms and space but yet, our world is full of living breathing organisms. Yes, there are other things that factor into the reality around us (our brains, for example). Recently, scientists have just figured out how to make matter from light. Awhile ago I read an article about how a neurosurgeon was able to reproduce the effects of a coma… in which he experienced a ‘heaven’ like reality. Although, dangerous as one can ‘loose’ themselves in the coma and can never wake, it provides more evidence into the reality that we live in every day. The way this neurosurgeon was able to reproduce the same effect, was through sound. If sound can alter our current conscious reality into something else, shouldn’t that lead to something?

But the next question is… how to get myself to Damanhur! Grants yes, I suppose I need to do some research on grants for independent researchers and such or try to convert my research into an art project.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_widget_sidebar sidebar_id=”sg498_8790gxe”][vc_custom_heading text=”Support the Research” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25px|text_align:left|color:%2311322a” google_fonts=”font_family:Playfair%20Display%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”New Products” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:100%20light%20regular%3A100%3Anormal” el_class=”widget-title”][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”6″ gap=”10″ item=”basicGrid_NoAnimation” grid_id=”vc_gid:1568586336111-47002366-773b-4″ taxonomies=”579, 632, 631, 580, 582, 581″][vc_custom_heading text=”Other Posts” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Roboto%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C500%2C500italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:100%20light%20regular%3A100%3Anormal” el_class=”widget-title”][vc_masonry_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”4″ element_width=”6″ gap=”10″ item=”basicGrid_NoAnimation” grid_id=”vc_gid:1568586336156-c190592e-a7da-4″ taxonomies=”132″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
