"The Structure of Life"

Living within the Structure of Life...

Knowing and understanding the structure of life is interesting and useful for any number of reasons. We who are making use of this site for life improvement and self help purposes will be most interested in it's direct benefit as a tool for improving our immediate conditions. A clear understanding of this "structure of life" will certainly aid us in that regard.

The Structured System of Harmony

Structures are what we live in. Our bodies have structure. We stay in structures so we don't freeze. Blankets have a fine structure that allows you to wrap them around the structure of the body and get comfortable. These are familiar structures. We are also aware that microscopic structures abound and that we're made of cells, and molecules, atoms and all those sub atomic thingies. What about time? What does the fabric of the universe mean? What does that structure look like? What does it have to do with me? Can I, if I understand it, do anything with it?

This basic understanding of the structure of life is what I've been trying to get a handle on. I can say that the structure of all these things is the same. This would be a good time to look at the flower of life. This is where the search finally leads.

Assuming you took a look at that - what do we do with the information? How does it help us out, right in this very moment? It would be nice in times of trouble if we could simply get better, feel better, from getting some information (some facts about life). One reason information doesn't lead to understanding is; we are dealing with the brain and it's structure. Yes, the brain thing again. The brain doesn't make sweeping instantaneous changes. The brain gets the information we give it and attempts to correlate it. I think of the brain as a big picture simulator.

For example, a flight simulator is a picture of a structure. Someone has taken all they know about the physics (structure) of the natural world and made a representation of that world for people to experiment with. Our brains have done much the same thing. We operate in a picture the brain has provided, based on the information it has about the structure of life. Is that picture accurate?

Most people, in the western world have some knowledge of Atoms and Molecules. Atoms and Molecules are referred to as the building blocks of life. With this information most people have the idea (the overall mental picture) that the world is like a tinker toy structure. Is that accurate? If it's not a good representation of reality then how can we operate optimally using that picture? What results, when this is the structural picture produced by the brain, is a world full of block building. There is another very interesting result in that our entire thinking process is based on steps.

We who are born and raised in western society are told what success is. Then we're instructed in how to "build" a successful life for ourselves. It's all based on the tinker toy model we got from our brain. This is no fault of the brain. It makes a picture out of what we give it. We gave it blocks, it made a block picture. We (whatever that is) looked at the picture and said, "Okay, lets do this..." (whatever that is). How are we doing? Civilizations have historically built societies, cities, governments and all the rest based on this model. We do exactly the same thing today.

Today is different in we've gotten better at blocks. Our block works have advanced greatly. On the outside this looks different. Smashing the building blocks has allowed us to have internal combustion resulting in cars, boats and planes. Heating and mixing the blocks has given us composites. So we look a little different and our toys are faster but we still live in block houses, in block cities at some address on some block. We have basically the same ideas as people thousands of years ago. What can't be explain in blocks is often referred to as supernatural. There is no thing but natural - supernatural is a block fantasy. We're blockheads, I'm a blockhead. It's hard to get out of it. My heads filled with block structure.

The Structure of Reality

Recently, once again, people have discovered energy, frequency and this is replacing the block. At the time of this writing I'm filling my head with wave information. I'm doing what I can to get the brain to give me an energy structure picture of life. I've gathered some of this information and have it here for you to look at and listen to. I can take waves, beats, frequencies and introduce them directly with tools like these - The Deep Journeys audio track or this Guided Relaxation audio. These are using binuaral beats - Alpha and theta frequencies. I want my brain familiar with what they feel like. Here is another good one - The Sound Healing Audio. I think the beats are helpful with this structure we are trying to get the brain to understand. The entire universe is a vibrational structure. From one perspective it's a chaotic mass of light and vibration. At the first unfocused glance it's a discordant mess that lacks any structural meaning. But I'm a block head so it seems very unfamiliar.

We'll want to get a new picture of life based on the reality of it's structure. We'll have to build this picture as if we were putting together a jigsaw puzzle. In the great store of life we can't purchase a picture that is already put together. We all get the puzzle, then we go about finding the needed pieces, then we slip them in here and there and see if they will lock together and so on. This way we start to build a complete picture. You notice I'm using block thinking to describe this process?

We're entering a new era, we're entering into the wave world picture. Our blocks are becoming frequencies. However we go about the process of creating a more real structure of life picture is up to each of us. I would be interested in anything people find and want to let me know about. But I'm really interested in what the new "Wave Consciousness" will produce. Block structure consciousness has taken us as far as it can. If we don't replace it we'll just repeat the same thing over and over. The block structure of life is very limited. I don't know what the wave, or energy structure of life picture will result in - we'll see.

Callum Coats on Viktor Schauberger

The research of Callum Coats takes us on a journey through the life and inventions of Austrian ecologist Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958). Now, for the first time, you can view the evidence in this detailed, three-hour illustrated lecture presentation on this two video set. Viktor Schauberger was a genius whose ideas were far ahead of his time. He worked as a "forest-master" in the Austrian Alps when they were still a true wilderness. This experience was to influence his entire life's work. Schauberger prophesied the environmental crises we are seeing today, predicting that unless we start to cherish rather than exploit our world, we would surely destroy ourselves. He demonstrated how deforestation would deplete the world of water, causing deserts and climatic chaos. Asked about our technology, "How else should it be done?" His answer was "exactly in the opposite way that it is done today!" His maxim: "Comprehend and Copy Nature!" From his precise observations of the processes of Nature, Schauberger pioneered a completely new understanding of the nature of water as the most important life-giving and energy-empowered substance on the planet. This led him to develop a radical new science which flew in the face of conventional scientific thinking but which, today, is being increasingly recognized for its highly-relevant implications for civilization. Viktor Schauberger might have made a career as a brilliant inventor. Forced, for a time, to develop radical new forms of propulsion for the Third Reich , he went on to work on devices utilizing the principles of implosion -- hundreds of times more powerful than conventional power sources. Even in the weeks just before his death, US government and commercial interests were exerting pressure on him to reveal his secrets. Schauberger's deep insights in the special properties of water and nature hold immense implications for future technology and ecology.

Max Planck

The Universe, which is everything and anything that exists, is still a mystery to scientists. It is made up almost entirely of the two lightest elements, which are hydrogen and helium. All the rest of the matter in the Universe is very rare. Elements such as silicon, carbon and others are concentrated into clouds, stars and planets. The Universe is held together by four invisible forces, gravity and electromagnetism being the two most familiar. The other two kinds are strong and weak nuclear forces. These operate only inside the incredibly tiny nuclei of atoms, holding the tiny particles together.

The German physicist Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Planck, b. Apr. 23, 1858, d. Oct. 3, 1947, developed the concept of the quantum, or fundamental increment of energy--basic to Quantum Mechanics, and a cornerstone of modern physics. After receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Munich in 1879, Planck taught at the University of Kiel (1885-89) and the University of Berlin (1889-1926). His appointment at the latter institution included the directorship of the Institute of Theoretical Physics that was newly founded for him.

Planck began studying Blackbody Radiation in 1897 and discovered that at long wavelengths it did not obey the distribution laws given by Wilhelm Wien. This discovery led him to announce (1900) his revolutionary idea that an oscillator could emit energy only in discrete quanta, contrary to classical physical theory. The quantum theory--which gained Planck the Nobel Prize for physics in 1918--was used by Albert Einstein to explain (1905) the photoelectric effect and by Niels Bohr to propose (1913) a model of the atom with quantized electronic states; the theory was later developed into quantum mechanics. Planck mastered every aspect of physics from thermodynamics and electrodynamics to relativity and also wrote extensively on the philosophy of science.

Richard Hoagland

Richard C. Hoagland is a former museum space science Curator; a former NASA Consultant; and, during the historic Apollo Missions to the Moon, was science adviser to Walter Cronkite and CBS News. In the mid-1960's, at the age of 19 (possibly "the youngest museum curator in the country at the time"), Hoagland created his first elaborate commemorative event -- around NASA's first historic unmanned fly-by of the planet Mars, Mariner 4. A simultaneous all-night, transcontinental radio program the evening of the Encounter (linking the museum in Springfield, Mass., and NASA's JPL control center, in Pasadena, Ca.), co-produced by Hoagland and WTIC-Radio, in Hartford, Ct., was subsequently nominated for a Peabody Award, one of journalism's most prestigious.... read the full bio and watch Video on YouTubeVideo.

PARADIGM SHIFT

In order to understand the true nature of the Universe, you have to first step outside the box. No, really, a box is not a box. A box is an object composed of an unimaginably large amount of atoms that form an overall appearance of something mankind has labeled a box. We have invented the word box to describe objects with "box" like characteristics, but in reality, a "box" is not a "box". It is... well there is no name for it. It just is.

We have fabricated measurements to try and make sense of our "box" but our foundations inevitably collapse from contradictions. For example, if we would like to find the volume of our "box" we would multiply it's length, height and width and determine it's volume in cubes.

As simple and obvious this seems to most people, it does not exemplify true reality. From observations of our micro cosmos, in the field of quantum mechanics, we have never ascertained any conclusive evidence objects are composed of cubes. Atoms are the "building blocks" of the Universe but they are actually spherical in nature. A more correct term for atoms would be the "building spheres" of the Universe. If we were to try and find the volume of our "box" again using spheres instead of cubes, we realize the volume of our "box" is actually infinite. You can never completely fill the volume with spheres no matter how large or small the spheres may be. Anything that leads to infinity is either discarded or it has to go through renormalization. We cannot except the fact that everything in existence has infinite volume. If this is true, it would mean everything in existence is infinitely large and infinitely small at the same time. We do not understand how this is possible so we have re-normalized the volume of our "box" with cubes instead of spheres. Until we can develop a form of geometry that can accommodate the nature of reality, the very foundation of Euclidean geometry is only a renormalization of true existence.

The Structure of Life

by Swami Krishnananda


It is an indisputable fact that what we value the most is life itself. It is not many among us that have a correct understanding of the nature of life, though we all know that life is what is the most valuable.

We cannot conceive of anything more desirable than life, and this notion we cherish even without having a correct grasp of the true nature of life. On a careful investigation of what we mean by life, we understand that life includes everything that is comprehended by the fact of our being aware. The principle of consciousness includes the totality of our life...

Embracing Our Infinite Potential

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

Deepok: On the Structure of the Body

Whenever anyone seems to be aging so badly that signs of senility, feebleness, and disability are present, it's important to investigate their lifestyle.

Problems crop up in a person's daily routine that are too often ignored, especially when they are only showing their age. It is estimated that between a third and half of senility cases result from the following treatable factors: Malnutrition, side effects from drugs, smoking, alcohol abuse, dehydration, depression, inactivity.

All these factors begin in awareness, stemming either from neglect or from habit. Alone or in combination, any of these factors can dramatically affect how a person looks and acts.

Not drinking enough water every day is one of the most common conditions in old age, chronic dehydration being a major cause of preventable aging. It is an avoidable complication that leads to many problems.

The ultimate solution doesn't lie with medicine but with personal change. People in nursing homes improve remarkably after altering their lives in the simplest ways, "giving them a potted plant to tend, allowing them to make up their own menus and take charge of tidying their rooms. These people regain a sense of usefulness and worth."

Alcohol, cigarettes and drugs cause untold damage, but their users derive some kind of pleasure from them, or at least relief from the massive stress that they would otherwise feel. But by exposing their minds to a greater source of satisfaction, the natural tendency would be to head away from the addiction, because the greater satisfaction is more appealing. Support for this new view has existed for almost 20 years.

Going back to the early 1970s, studies in the United States and Europe have repeatedly shown that when addicted people are taught to meditate, their level of anxiety decreases, pulling down with it their use of alcohol, cigarettes, and other drugs.

If the addiction is caught at an early stage, a large proportion of subjects will stop abusing substances altogether. This is a very important point, because the early stage is where most cures are possible.

By removing the distractions of stress, meditation renews the nervous system's memory of balance. Repeated meditation, day after day, jogs the memory again and again, until in time the cells return to a normal state, exchanging their abnormal receptors for a more normal pattern. Once the pathways of intelligence are repaired, the cells will automatically select the body's healthy signals, as once they automatically accepted the distorted ones. The circle broken by addiction has been repaired.
