Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm

Sometimes we are told

enthusiasm the ego fires..

but in examining more carefully

one such enthusiasm

we might find its make-up

as a temporary oasis

in the luminous field

to which it seems

to point..

Yet indeed misuses seem thriving:

ego's opportunities do unfold..

But for now

the pointing just mentioned

seems so much more

appealing...!

Quantum Consciousness

Published on Jul 4, 2014

Fred Kuttner discusses his book Quantum Enigma -- Physics Encounters Consciousness, co-authored with Bruce Rosenblum. In trying to understand the atom, physicists built quantum mechanics, the most successful theory in science. But they found, to their embarrassment, that with their theory, physics encounters consciousness, a mysterious phenomenon that science cannot explain and cannot ignore. Attempts to interpret the meaning and implications of all this are often controversial. But every interpretation of quantum physics involves consciousness, and the connection of consciousness with the Universe suggested by some leading quantum cosmologists is mind-blowing. There exists a boundary beyond which the expertise of physicists is no longer the only sure guide.

In the few decades since experiments established the existence of quantum entanglement, interest in the foundations, and the mysteries, of quantum mechanics has accelerated. In recent years, physicists, philosophers, computer engineers, and even biologists have expanded our realization of the significance of quantum phenomena. Quantum theory tells us that an object can be in two places at the same time, that its existence becomes real only when observed, and that the observation of an object can instantaneously influence another distant object even if no physical force connects the two. Quantum theory thus denies the existence of a physically real world independent of its observation.

The seeker

The seeker will discover that he is what he seeks and that what he seeks is the source of the inquiry. ~ Jean Klein #selfinquiry #nondual

Something to be done

Something to be done

The first step seems to be

escaping from the exile

which the something seems to be..

The exile is the feeling

that an impossible task looms and

 I have been chosen so wrongly..

The exile remains until

some recognition of freedom

says that the exile is in me

and not me in the exile..

It seems we must allow the exile

whatever it is

and the thought that upholds

to simply be

and eventually melt

into a sea of freedom...

the black squirrel

the black squirrel

pranced and climbed..

and those gravely stones

bounding the yard..

oil drops on the pavement

spread and shaped

a reminder of how

fossils transport

and pollute..

all of these

perception and memory

are of consciousness made

with such wild and varied

colorations..

please add your own

from this your moment
to include
a poem entitled
the black squirrel...

(meditation while walking)

Beginning in Silence

Beginning in Silence

Observing everything unfold

the world's colors and forms

the body's hidden sensations

all shining in the Silence

of beginning..

The cloud kangaroo

leaping and disappearing..

The chirping welcome of spring..

Memories and thoughts

arriving and departing..

All beginning and ending

in the Silence

which we are...

(a walking meditation)

The particle

The particle

What he said..

Max Planck

that is..

seems as the 

last stand of duality..

There is no matter as such.  All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this minute solar system together.  

We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intellegent mind.  This mind is the matrix of all matter.

A force brings a particle

to vibration..

If the process were reversed

and the vibration brings

the seeming appearance of the particle

we have then escaped

into the realm of freedom...!
