week 8 Chaos Theory (can you say that together hmm)

"ordered chaos" :

My western rooted mind still has difficulty understanding chaos, but I can see similarities in the idea expressed and TCM. The idea of "ordered chaos" where variables or a set of variables change with time, is similar to the idea of acupuncture where needling have effects that create changes in a body that spiral out with time.

Fractals/patterns/complex systems :

This is similar to having partial control over your destiny. There is a larger picture which each one of use is drop of water too, and it is this connection that we have no control over. This larger picture is always in motion and part of a complex system. The individual selves of droplets can have some control over their little bubble worlds to speed up or slow down their journey. But ultimately we're just along for the ride so we might as well enjoy it. We can have some effect, say all the droplets leaned one way then we could carve out a different path. This is similar to power of intention and the changing patterns of fractures. I know I'm branching a bit here but its a thought.

Consciousness out of chaos:

The thought that goes off in my head with this idea is that if we are all part of the blanket then we do infact already know everything we just need to become aware of our connectedness. I really want to work on this because then I would never have to study and I would truly be a know it all from birth, and further evolution would take on a whole new meaning.

week 6

Good vibrations:

I believe good and bad are man made constructs, vibrations are just what they are. In my woman made construct anything that moves is good, even things that appear unpleasant at first have a greater path beyond our ability to see, that are still good.

Resonance in my world:

Everything has a signature, or in this case a resonance. When doing massage work and I have a client that needs grounding, I tend to think about being in the redwoods and their intense roots and remember their signature. I then try to share this specific signature with the person I'm working with and have had amazing results. The same is the case when two like minded people cross paths, there tends to be a moment of attraction which I believe to be the two people matching up signatures.

Connection between energy and Qi:

In some sense they can just be a different word from different cultures to explain the same thing. When explaining either of these to people I do first try to understand their comfort level with foreign ideas or if they are foreign at all. If I talk about energy I usually say its the heat that comes off the road on a hot day or the heat coming off your body. When talking about Qi I usually say I don't know but its a lot like what I said about energy.

week 5

My symmetrical world.

if things had a equal opposite, then when close together they would disappear. Maybe in certain ways things are alike but with out variation I believe systems would collapse on to themselves.

CP violation

It is interesting in that it shows the disarrangement of things, and odd behaviors that help us to explain how littel we really know and understand.

Sacred Geometry

To me sacred geometry is interesting in how knowledge thousands of years old used the geometry of the stars to accurately record and predict present day events.
