the ability to interact with all the elements of this earth in a very real and tangible way. to share that interaction with others. to oftentimes find connection, joy, insight and healing in the process. ex: treating a friend for depression outside underneath a sycamore tree and the deep blue sky. feeling the spirit of great grandfather sycamore reaching down and into my friend, promoting growth, movement, nurturance and flexibility in her wood element. helping her heal herself holistically and healing the rest of us in the process.
what do i think of physics, really?
physics in this context seems like a great opportunity to enjoy pondering the boundaries and possibilities of existence.
have i ever experienced time slowing down or speeding up?
playing in the canyon with the owls, feeling outside of time in that no matter when i enter, there is always plenty of time to connect with them and the other beings who live there before returning to regular, agreed-upon time space outside the canyon. a very distinct feeling of being in a space separate from regular time.
also with a sweet baby the other day, feeling time really slowing down. returning to the time awareness of a child/ infant. enjoying this extra gift of time length in my life.
reflections on this week's class - the meaning of time:
really feeling time is a flexible construct. fun to play with, push the edges of, challenge. can also be limiting. frustrating in the way our society is so tightly ordered around it. i've always enjoyed those daylight savings time switch days, where we all agree to set the clocks forward or backward (ok, not all of us) because to me it just highlights the fact that time is just something we all agree upon. not something real, that actually means something, just something arbitrary we choose to rule (guide. live!) our lives by.
feeling that there is another time that for me is so much more real. canyon time. sun time. moon time. leaves beginning to fall from the trees time. fawns losing their spots time. orion in the morning sky, moving toward night time. banana slugs returning soon time! emotions turning inward again time. spirit world opening up time. not to mention holistic time and the presence of all that ever was or will be here in this moment now. ancestors, past and future, living this present moment in our expression of lifeforce. and that's just talking about here on earth. how about galactic time. universal time. beyond universal time?
really enjoying what we don't know and how what "we" do know, officially, scientifically, changes so radically and often, that we can only play with what we think we know and look within ourselves for the light of true wisdom which springs from our own hearts. maybe this is where the white holes are found.
impressions on quantum mechanics readings:
duh. wow, i guess i haven't had to read any scientific stuff for a looong time and feel like i'm slogging through mush and not really getting a whole lot out of it. mush that would apparently be extremely interesting to some people, and does have a few lines which excite me, like: "the trajectory of any atomic scale object is "squishy" in the sense that any measurement intended to get clearer on the objects position forces knowledge of it's velocity to become less clear, and vice-versa." cool. and the general idea that experiments designed to show light's wave characteristics did just that, while those designed to show it's particle characteristics all succeeded. maybe surprising scientifically, but not surprising in the real world, that they would find what they're looking for.
ok, just looked at krysstal website and that's a relief. extremely simple, just the way i like it. simple enough to be truly interesting and exciting. "it is possible for something to be created out of nothing, given enough time!" "wave particle duality." "electrons exist in energy states. when they absorb energy, they absorb a whole number of quanta, disappear, appearing at a different energy state." all very intriguing.
looking forward to being helped through this material so i can really absorb and enjoy it.

I agree these concepts are tricky and fascinating!
It's all just play and discovery. Never really definitive but flexible. My brain has to be just as 'plastic' to even absorb some of the idea's at first....FUN!
