A poet once said "The whole universe is in a glass of wine." We will probably never know in what sense he meant that, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass closely enough we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid which evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflections in the glass, and our imaginations adds the atoms. The glass is a distillation of the Earth's rocks, and in its composition we see the secret of the universe's age, and the evolution of the stars. What strange array of chemicals are there in the wine? How did they come to be? There are the ferments, the enzymes, the substrates, and the products. There in wine is found the great generalization: all life is fermentation. Nobody can discover the chemistry of wine without discovering, as did Louis Pasteur, the cause of much disease. How vivid is the claret, pressing its existence into the consciousness that watches it! If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts — physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on — remember that Nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure: drink it and forget it all!

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? Wouldn't it be nice if the author knew the answer to these questions?

Well, I can answer that last question. Yes, it would. It's what I've been trying to get an answer to. 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. So what do we do then? How does it help me 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. The catch is we are dealing with the brain and it's structure. Yes, the brain thing again. It doesn't make sweeping instantaneous changes. It can be made to learn quicker, to a great degree, with hypnosis and, as a tool for changing, hypnosis is great. It uses the same process of association that we use all the time. Everything we learned we learned this way, hypnosis is just more directionally and intention specific. When I talk about hypnosis I'm talking about the type like this Deep Journeys audio track. There are some Guided Relaxation audio I used when I just wanted help staying in one place for 30 minutes. I currently use some tools that include binuaral beats. Alpha and theta frequencies just to get my brain familiar with what they feel like. Try those out by listening to Sound Healing. The reason the beats are helpful has to do with this structure we are trying to make use of. The entire universe is a vibrational structure. From one perspective it's a chaotic mass of light and vibration. At first unfocused glance it's a discordant mess that lacks any pragmatic meaning. What if we were to use our new found knowledge of positioning ourselves. Would we see something more manageable? More functional?

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 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. I should add that there's a difference between the puzzles you get at the store and the puzzle you get from life. Life's puzzle has all the possible pieces to all the possible pictures tossed into the same box. If some one offers you the whole picture...don't accept it. These pictures always come with rules. The whole picture isn't available.

When we wonder why things happen. Why are things the way they are? Why am I this way? Why do things happen to me, or not happen for me. We might want to go back and look at the concept concerning expectations and see how they relate to our understanding of structure. If our structure is different than the rest of the universe, we are things that live on the surface of a planet which we have no interconnecting relationship with. Is that the way most people think? Looking around it's apparent that, that's the way most of the corporate world thinks. Or if it doesn't think that way - maybe that it doesn't care. Or maybe there is a lack of understanding as to structure. If we live within a structure, if the structure of life, in which we exist, is altered - what then. Take a minute and watch this video. The Story Of Stuff with Annie Leonard. People who live, or work, in this way deal see only surface structure. The macro world. Most of us think only of this bigger, more solid structure. These people view the structure of life a collection of different shaped things.

It's not just the corporate world who look at life this way: That the world (Life) is just a bunch of things to exploit to ones advantage. It wouldn't be possible for them to exist without our participation. That participation is a passive, or not so passive, form of consent. If we saw that, at the structural level, we and the earth were identical would it change anything? Would we choose to destroy it? More than that would we see ourselves and life differently? Wouldn't having the structure of life make us life? Wouldn't we see that causing stuff to happen was a part of us? Does life cause stuff to happen? Does stuff happen without cause? Is life that cause? We think that we are different from trees, that's the tree and this is me and this is a ball and the ball bounces because it hits the ground and since the ground is a different structure it bounces. Since I'm a different structure I can catch it, then I can put it in the box that will hold it because its a different structure and I'll go outside, that's different from inside, and I'll climb that other structure I call tree and I'll be able to sit on the limb because the different structured limb will hold me off the ground. Another different structure story.

Think Physical

All different, all separate, and all stuff you've heard before, right? So what is the structure of creation? Even if we can get the concept of all structure being the same, as far as things we see and things we can imagine, what about something like creation? It's hard to think of creation as a thing. We have no problem thinking about things being the result of creation. Well, that's probably not so obvious as it sounds. We probably, at some point, just accepted somebody's creation story. It isn't something a lot of people spend a lot of time pursuing. We ask and wonder and someone tells us a story and it gets used to put our puzzle together. If we spend some time with the structure of creation idea we may find a lot of benefit in the exercise. What about thought? Is there a structure to thought? Isn't thought a product of the brain? Is the brain a product of creation? Does like beget like? Even though I don't believe in the old testament bible has anything to do with god or what most people interpret as creation, as a collection of writings I find it very informative. There is a part of the bible that repeats the like begets like line on and on. I don't remember who begot who but like beget like is firmly established in my brain. So does creation, or life, beget something other than it's likeness? Does the brain beget a separate structured product? Is it possible? The problem that arises, for the brain, is that this starts to conflict somehow. It doesn't see structure in things it can't imagine touching. It can imagine touching space because space has been rendered as a picture and sub atomic structures have been shown in science videos so it says,"well, if I were very small I could touch it". But thought? Can I get to a place where thought is tangible? Where ideas have weight? This isn't easy.

But it does have all the evidence on its side. We've never seen, found or otherwise detected anything that has no structure. If "it is" it has a structure. Now days we know that at the teeny dimensions all the basic ingredients are the same and its just a matter of how they are combined. All the same in basic structure. So where does that leave thought or creation? Outside of the world we know? Is it real? I guess if we believe that we're thinking then we must accept it as real. Are we convinced that there is no nothingness? Or is nothingness the contraction of the expanding universe? The yin to the expanding yang? If we accept that all has structure then thought has structure.

This gives a new picture of ourselves and our relationship with the totality of life. There is no more other. There is no longer, the possibility of, some thing out there that is incomprehensible and mysterious that I need to have help with. There is nothing but the familiar. The understandable. The tangible. I'm going to do it again," the kingdom of heaven is at hand", I can't help it. So its all the same. This is meant to be a piece of the puzzle. It may be better described as a familiar opening. If you are here then this is going to add to your picture. That's the way things work. I've put some other stuff about stuff on the page to help in the investigation of this concept.

Wilhelm Reich: Mans right to know


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. Here's the Viktor Schauberger Video and there is another at Viktor Schauberger (google video)



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.
