xistence
and its nature

FOREWORD
From "solid" matter: to the forces that maintain them; to the plethora of celestial bodies and galaxies each with billions of stars: to the features of our own earth; from mountains to deserts and seas – all things are only patterns of vibration. All things are only wave states. It is the vibration, and vibration alone, that transmits all sensory information from sight, to sound, to smell, taste, and touch. It is the vibration that forms our memory, thought, emotion,
feeling. The single DNA cell from which each complex one of us emerged? Simply a holding wave pattern: every feature stored on vibratory wave.
Vibrations form our plans and actions. All are vibrations. There is nothing else. Only vibrations. Existence is a wave phenomena as a look at a so-called "solid" atom – the root of every molecule, cell, and star, and the foundation of so-called "physical existence" – reveals in an atom (click) enlarged some 256 times: but, if enlarged to the size of the universe, it is clear it would be immaterial and a form of vibration. On the otherhand, if we look downwards towards the atom at 10–10 meters and the proton at 10–15 meters and consider that dimension of 10 to contain wave/particles. But, if we went to the opposite dimension of where our proton is twice the size of the universe and went down to the level of 10–35 meters looking up at the proton, again, we would see only space and that space would be vibratory.
God, Spirit, law, freewill: It is the opinion of the writer that we would find some Supreme Creator, a sensitive Spiritual Parent of goodness, behind the physical screen of whom the better part of each of us reflects and can communicate. Our world is based on vibration. The idea is suggested that vibration is Thought (an old Greek idea) or as the ancient world all believed, Spirit. Finally, that chance does work in physical nature and life and they are on automatic pilot in the sense that as natural law, they automatically operate without God's intercession as breathing is automatic, but can at any time be altered by the mind when it so wills. That while we have freewill, the Spirit of God becomes Personally involved when through inner desire or prayer, we consciously or unconsciously reach out to Him/Her.
SIGHT AND SOUND
In the details of what follow, the fact will be highlighted that for all the genius involved in the structure, detail, and enormous quantity and quality of information carried over electromagnetic waves in the form of sight and sound information that these most essential of things are purely immaterial – purely vibrations. As particles, atoms, and molecules have a field buffer around them – like a child in the water in a fat inner tube – the particle, atomic, molecular, or DNA field itself is like a huge, elastic, spherical inner tube surrounding them that propagates itself spherically concentrically uncorrupted through space (by way of example, please: click #1, click #2, click #3).
The hundreds of TV or radio station waves that cram each square millimeter of space uncorrupted (please see representation: click) – and can individually be tuned into via clicking the right channel of the TV set or radio – share those infinite square millimeters of space with sound and visual information surrounding you or I as we walk down the street or sit in a park receiving the sights and sounds around us. And, those same countless vibrations share those infinite square millimeters of space with our thoughts, and the neutrinos, and flood of infrared and other rays invisible to the human eye coming from hidden stars billions of light years away from us. Vibrations travel to us uncorrupted through any medium of air, water, or solid – vibration through solid material.
To see a physical facsimile of uncorrupted, superimposed vibrations, observe how concentricity is maintained even through solid iridium crystals exactly as in water circles propagating through each other (click). As it is the inner tube-like field that is the buffer between atoms, etc. – and interacts first – physical phenomena are mediated by fields. For instance, in a strong hurricane or earthquake, it is the individual field of air or soil molecules compressing and rebounding from compression against each other that gives the hurricane or earthquake its force. In pool, how is it that the cue ball remains stationary at the point of contact with the eight ball while the ten balls scatter and bounce all around the table? It is because the vibrational force of mechanical impact travelling in wave form from the cue ball through the eight ball, and through the eight ball through all others moves those solid balls of ceramic.
Alan Lightman speaks of the image of a woman reflected in the form of 10 trillion particles of light per second that reach the pupil of a man's eye and after, in a few thousandths of a second, the electrical signal reaches the ganglion soon to be registered in the brain as the image of the woman. And, of the transmission of her voice:
The woman says, 'hello.'
Immediately, molecules of air are pushed together, then apart, then together,
beginning in her vocal chords and travelling in a springlike motion to
the man's ears ... Within each of his ears, the vibrating air soon reaches
a basilar membrane through which run tiny filaments of varying thickness,
like the strings of a harp. The woman's voice, from afar, is playing this
harp. [A]
Sound transmission, its registration in the ear, and transference to the brain is all vibratory: all vibration. This is particularly true in remembering that the field of all particles radiates from them as light from a bulb: the point being that • the field precedes the particle, • is the first point of contact between two colliding particles, • and negotiates any interaction between them. The field, as will be discussed in following sections, is a vibration and as such manifests some interesting qualities. Along a similar vein as Lightman above, but in 1952, a half century earlier, Schrödinger delivered a lecture in which he conveyed the following story:
You telephone by radio
telephone in Paris to a good friend in New York; as soon as he says, "Hullo,
hi, this is Ed Meier," you know his voice has imprinted a structure
on the radio wave which has travelled five thousand miles to you and which
you can be distinguished with certainty from any other. It is not even
necessary to go so far. If your wife calls you from the garden, "Frank,"
it is entirely analogous, only in this case they are merely sound waves.
The journey is shorter but takes a little longer. Our whole understanding
of language is based on imprinted individual waves. And what an abundance
of details in rapid succession is transmitted to us by the motion picture
or the television picture by following the same principle!" [B]
Sound is carried as a longitudinal compressional wave in an elastic
medium such as air or water. It is a mechanical compression and decompression
of particles. Stonier writes:
Consider a radio wave.
Obviously, as a form of electromagnetic radiation, it represents a form
of energy. However, a radio wave carries a lot of information. Not only
the human information superimposed on the carrier wave to reproduce the
human voice or music, but the carrier wave itself. The carrier wave has
a basic frequency which reflects the resonance of the transmitting circuit.
[C]
Whether it is called a carrier wave, or resonance, a compressional wave, or vibration, whether it's described as "spring-like," or radiation, or electromagnetic radiation, or anything else, while sound and sight are carried through physical medium, at their essence, they are vibrations; they are immaterial; and without those vibrations, there would be no existence.
MATTER
What is physical? What is matter? Our perception of matter is something solid and stationary through-and-through. The accepted thought since DeBroglie in 1915 won his Nobel Prize is that the fundamental form of matter is as a wave/particle where states regularly alternate. What of the particle dimension of the pair? If a proton were increased in size to the moon, or sun, the solar system, galaxy, or the universe itself, or greater, we would find vast regions of empty space in our proton. The conclusion to draw is that while on our dimension it appears a particle of matter may be solid through-and-through, in the larger picture, a particle is only like a wad of loosely balled cheese-cloth full of empty space: or, more accurately, the particle dimension of the wave/particle is itself a vibration. There is no such thing as the human perception of something solid through-and-through. There is no such thing as (that kind of) matter. There are only different densities of vibrations.
But, even when we remain on the human dimension of things, there is no such thing as matter or something solid and stationary through-and-through. From quarks encased in protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, to the electron buzzing around its shell, all are vibrations. Electrons are the wispy shadow of the electromagnetic force like a never still blueprint underlying it as are protons wispy shadows of the strong force ferociously moving as its blueprint. Fritjof Capra, who researched high energy physics at the University of Paris, Stanford University, and Imperial College, London, and lectured at the University of California, Berkeley, describes the atomic nucleus as a "fiercely boiling nuclear drop ... that race about the nucleus with velocities of 40,000 miles per second." [D] Something moving that fast is not going to be solid even though while propagating through space it collides with something and compresses. Below, it be discussed why even compressed particles must be vibrations: compressed vibrations, but vibrations.
From Einstein to Weinberg, particles are known as "bundles of energy,"
and their "field is a stress of space itself."[E]
Concerning the field, Leon Lederman reminds that Newton's law of gravity
shows that: "Every atom on the earth pulls on every atom in an apple
... and an electron's electric field exists everywhere in space."
This brings to mind the light emitted by a bulb where the light is the
field and particle the bulb. Lederman continues, "What keeps atoms
together and accounts for their rigidity is the electromagnetic force."[F]
Every stone and star, pebble and person comprised of atoms, due to their
density reflect light and may prohibit the entrance of "large"
forms of matter thrust upon them. Robert Russell writes: "[Electrons]
form a series of shells which surround the nucleus, giving to atoms their
structure and accounting for the impenetrability of matter."[G]
Yet, at their root, the individual electrons are wispy, cloudlike entities
only sometimes compressing, perhaps giving the perception of solidity –
though compressing as "coiled" vibrations. At heart, electrons and
quarks are vibrations and certainly their fields are vibration. And those field vibrations
negotiate all physical action.
A MATTER PARTICLE IS NOT SOLID
While DeBroglie discerned the truer nature of particles as being wave/particles, where waves periodically transform into particles and vice versa, "What is a particle?" If a particle means matter solid through, as on our dimension a
metal ball will be solid through, then the particle is probably more comparable to a loosely balled-up cheese-cloth full of holes rather than "solid as a rock" from outer diameter to inner core. What spaces are we considering in terms of a particle like a proton?
Sir Arthur Eddington wrote of the "spherical character of the universe" and stated that: "The radius of the proton is of order 10–15 cm., and the universe, unit R, is of order 1027 cm."[H] If we, however, expand the proton to the size of the universe to 1027 cm., being a sphere, it would have a center. And for the proton to be solid through-and-through, it would have to be like a steel ball from the edge of the universe to a core a pin's width in diameter. And, it can't possibly be. This is attested to by the fact as conveyed
by Weinberg that: "Neutrinos ... can travel for years through lead
bricks without being scattered."[I] Given that the proton is made of three super-tiny quarks, with neutrinos travelling near the speed of light at 186,000 mps, it must pass through many protons: but, the protons must be as comparably "spacious" as the distance between the nucleus and atomic shell. If a proton were expanded to the size of the universe itself, it would be abundantly clear that there is nothing "solid" about it and that its form would be that of a vibration.
Further, that neutron stars would compress the earth to the size of
a pea on a neutron star's surface means that what we consider to be a
particle on the neutron star would be infinitely more compressed and dense than that same electron or proton facing earth's miniscule gravitational pull. The result
being that our "particle" can't possibly be rock solid through-and-through
in our dimension of gravity. It would be a loosely compressed vibration: in
the opinion of the writer. More compressed than what we normally recognize
as its wave-form, but not diamond-solid.
ATOMIC INTERACTION
Continuing from above, the
field remains as a buffer around any particle and when particles interact,
contact is first through the field and all interaction is mediated by the
field. And the field exists as a vibration. Chemical, molecular, atomic and
subatomic interaction from our bodies to our brains are all conducted via
the medium of the vibration. And, the force field is a vibration. Atomic bonding
and interaction is actualized by the vibration.
SMELL
We don't really 'smell' things:
we smell vibration. Lewis Thomas, former Dean of Yale Medical School and
award winning writer, stated: "The special vibration of atoms or groups
of atoms within molecules of odorants, or the vibratory song of the entire
molecule, have been made the basis for several theories, with postulated
'osmic frequencies' as the source of odor." [J] In this
view, 'solid' matter has nothing to do with smell. Certainly as the sense
of "smell" travels through the nervous system, the molecule remains
at the "door" of the olfactory receptacle while some vibratory
form of its "image" travels through our nervous system and to
our brain for interpretation: as a vibration. Concerning the perception of "smell,"
living creatures "interpret" vibration.
TASTE
Molecules are
vibratory states. As such, molecules carrying the flavour of food to taste
buds are vibration, like their cousin "smell," taste as well
affects the gustatory receptacles in vibratory manner.
FEELING AND EMOTION
Ions comprise the signal carriers in the brain and central nervous system. They are in essence "particle" waves preceded by their fields and for all practical purposes, only wave forms. As feeling and emotion are carried by waves (See discussion in "Matter" section, they are vibration phenomena: NOT FINISHED)
THOUGHT AND THINKING
Ions comprise the signal carriers in the brain and central nervous system. They are in essence "particle" waves preceded by their fields and for all practical purposes, only vibration forms.
MEMORY AND RECALL
As memory is stored by vibration imprints on vibration forms, memory is a vibration phenomena.
DNA, LANGUAGE, IMAGE OF REALITY
DNA as a vibration form: As we have seen in click, atoms are vibration forms – and, if the speed of the camera taking a photo of that atom were quicker, it would show more of a vibration nature. Thus, our perception of the wave nature of creation is limited by the slowness of the instruments we use. In click here, we can see that very complex concentric waves propagate uncorrupted in a superimposed state through one another in a physical medium in a similar manner as do raindrops in a pond make concentric circles that propagate through the circles of one another. There are two key points in the preceding: (1) atoms are vibrations. (2) Vibrations propagate via physical mediums in very complex ways that maintain their unique identity.
What we may say of DNA, then, is that as atoms exist as vibration forms, and DNA is made of atoms, that DNA exists as a vibration form. Secondly, in essence, DNA propagates itself through the medium of physical matter (nuitritional materials) by duplicating its wave form just as the simplest of waves do: but, spherically concentrically in each square nanometer of space as in a Chinese apple (a Chinese apple has hundreds of juicy seeds each enclosed in its own tiny sack and the sacks radiate outwards from the center of the apple). The nearest example to show this is an early morning look in the mirror. All the food we eat transforms exactly to the form of the facsimile of the "person" in the single germ cell from which each of us emerged. And, once mature, each cell propagates itself like any simple wave through the food we intake. Finally, when sperm and egg meet, their meeting is a superimposition of vibration states and this would account for how a child physically and behaviorally may take half of his or her features from either parent and simultaneously resemble them both.
To conclude, certainly the process is more difficult. But, at its foundation DNA propagates like a wave. Thus, (1) mitosis and meiosis are DNA cell wave propagations. (2) All the information that exists on DNA is in wave form and DNA propagates like a wave. Finally, (3) the strong force forms the immaterial blueprint for the form and behavior of protons in an atom. The immaterial electromagnetic force forms the blueprint for the behavior and form of electrons in an atom. The forces are vibration forms. The blueprint for DNA is an immaterial vibration existing more like a living idea than inert matter. DNA, the source of life now and at its first conception an estimated 3.5 billion years ago, was and is a vibration form.
Language: As sound travels from vocal chord, via a springlike motion from parent to child: from neighbors and countrymen to child, language travels as a vibration. The first-born boy often sounds like his father, the girl like her mother, and all of them like their neighbors or countrymen. The wave imprint of the words and sound of a language are imprinted in our brain over the brain's wave-fom atoms (click here). Language-wave is superimposed over brain wave as memory and speech pattern.
Social behavior is transmitted as wave: imitation is resonance: The way a certain animal or people behave is common to their race or species. Behavior, via the image of the thing behaving, travels in vibration form, is stored in vibration form, and resonates in the physical body in such a way that the vibration form of the behavior replicates itself in the behavior of the imitator. The gestures used by the Spanish, the formal behavior of the Swiss, the gentleness of the island people, all are behaviors seen in the form of images of information from their environment, travel through their eye, transmit through their nervous system, become stored in the brain, and resonate in their bodies in the form of commonly imitated social behavior.
Image of reality: A photon of light is immaterial and travels like a vibration through space (click) from the object it bounces off of to our eye where the collective image of light reflected from objects stores itself over wave-like atoms (click here) in our brain. Only 1% of the species that have ever evolved exist today, the remaining 99% having fallen to extinction. When, therefore, a butterfly identifies a specific flower, or an spider hatching from an egg sees and nabs its first insect, the internal image stored on its tiny cell of DNA (click) of all the essential images of its environment are mirror reflections of the world we live in today.
That image somehow travels to DNA as wave images of the environment and is likewise stored in vibration form there. Life forms from earlier aeons had dinosaurs and trigolytes mirrored in their DNA. A billion years from now, life forms will have the future world mirrored into their DNA and our world, its flora, fauna, and environment would have long gone gradually into extinction to give way to the new. Image-recording in the DNA is not random nor accident. Konrad Lorenz writes:
The more complicated an adapted process, the less chance there is that a random change will improve its adaptedness. There are no life processes more complicated than those which take place in the central nervous system and control behavior. Random change must, with overwhelming probability, result in their disintegration.
[K]
Similarly, David McFarland of the Animal Behavior Research Group at Oxford says of the learning process which results in organisms being fitted into their environments that random mutation is impossible:
The learning process has long been subject to natural selection so that, whatever changes occur, they must be in the direction that tends to improve the animal's fitness, and not be merely random or experimental changes.
[L]
That information must come from the environment for storage in the gonads which produce the gametes of which are the sperm and egg. • Just as click here shows how vibrations exist as discrete entities even when superimposed: so too images of the environment must travel to the gonads as discrete entities and are recorded there and "adjusted" into the organism's body/behavioral makeup: in vibration form. • Just as there are thousands of TV and radio waves superimposed on every square millimeter of space, but only one at a time is picked up when a particular station is tuned into, so too the genome for a given species must tune into only those things of the environment particular to it. • Just as we can adjust the volume, base, etc., of any broadcast, so too, somehow the gonads (they produce the sperm and egg) must gradually "tune" their own future life form into a good fit into its environment: in vibration form.
How is it that the hermit crab intuited the utility of an abandoned shell as a suitable home? That is an intellectual deduction performed by the system that produced the crab. There is some intelligent force, perhaps set on automatic pilot and similar to our involuntary nervous system, fashioning much of evolution. If anyone thinks that intellectual choices were not made, we can give such a person a test. They will be given their choice of Harvard or Oxford University library, a lab of their choice, and the task of making a spider web.
They will not be permitted to eat or drink until they make the web. That person must use all of their intellectual facilities. And, if they can make a spider web (to begin with, spiders eat insects and insect material transforms into spider web) they can have all the food they want. I believe that person would die of starvation. In any case, Darwin himself believed intelligence was involved in evolution. He wrote:
I am inclined to look at everything as resulting from designed laws, with the details, whether good or bad, left to chance.
[M]
The question is, "What are the details of chance?" The writer would suggest matter itself is comprised of an intelligence so great that the natural working of physical law results in the fine-tuned development of each creature and that details, such as food choice, or whether to turn right or left, or go here or there, are the result of chance. And, all is vibration.
MACRO WORLD VIBRATION FORMS
Even on the macro-level, all major things are vibrations. Please physical click
here for that reading.
A SPIRITUAL PARENT BEHIND EXISTENCE
Spirit would explain many things in science: That the basis of the world is Spirit would answer many questions. It would explain the Physicist's idea of nonlocality (click here). Explain the Naturalist's belief that we live in an organic universe. Explain the scientist's explanation for there being one natural law: if there is one Being, there should only be one law. That the universe is Spirit would also explain the Physicist's idea that there was something like a superforce or superstring at the beginning of the universe. Some great energy from which the four forces and two so-called matter particles emerged. If the universe is Spirit, it could be the so-called superforce. Or, perhaps you can scientifically prove that it is not? Spirit would explain how Kirlian photography reveals a spiritual component to every thought and emotion: it is the spiritual dimension that we think and feel with.
Spirit would explain universal social values, beliefs, and phenomena: Aristotle believed that truth (gnos) was in all things and that God is Thought. If all things have equal portions of universal truth, that all things are vibration, rather Spirit, would explain Greek thought: existence would be Thought thinking in each and every tiny interaction. Explain why the human being has always craved for things of the Spirit and believed in a Supreme Being: if there is Spirit a Supreme Being exists. Both the ancient Egyptians, Jews, Christians, and Moslems, believed God to be omniscient (all-knowing), omnificient (Maker of all things), omnipotent (all powerful), and omnipresent (everywhere). That the universe is Spirit would explain how this could be true.
Spirit Would explain belief in the existence of the spiritual world which many have professed seeing: many religions believe we live eternally in the spirit and those who have seen the spirit world would have seen the spiritual dimension. And, perhaps Swedenborg was more than a great spiritualist: perhaps he witnessed what he wrote of. Spirit would also explain why we hold the ideal of world family even though war was/is prolific: yet, under ideal conditions, we feel we should be one and feel most secure as one for in a Supreme Being, we are One. If the universe is Spirit, and these things reflective of Spirit would explain why they are so important to us: they are important to us because they are important to the Creator whom we, in our imperfections, reflect. The pictures of the old saints with halos would explain spirit: the painters saw the brightness of their spirits.
Spirit would explain healing remedies: Spirit would explain faith-healing as the Spirit created life and can restore that which it created. Would explain meditation as a way of obtaining inner peace and tuning into Truth and the universe; meditation as a way of obtaining harmony with nature can be explained if the foundation of things is Spirit – Lao tzu and the great Teachers believed in the Divine spark, or God within: meditation would resonate with our own inner truth and bring us understanding and peace. Spirit would explain why the American Medical Association began a commission in 1995 to conduct case studies and investigate scientifically conducted medical programs of those sanctioning and recommending prayer as a means to attain healing when traditional means fail to work and as an aid to conventional medicine where it is working – but can work better. Spirit would explain why it is love that brings the mentally ill and clinically dead back to a state of health when those who love them pray over them: the power of love which is the greatest power of the Spirit is activated then, and it is love that gives life. When senior citizens loose love, they loose the will to live and die.
Spirit would explain spiritual qualities: Spirit would explain faith healing and why Psychics and Clairvoyants can predict the future: if it is pre-known, those sensitive would tune-in as shamans always have. That the universe is based on vibration forms is a dry word (i.e. vibration) for what would otherwise be known as Spirit.
A universe that is Spirit would explain why nature walks, the outdoors, quiet summers by the sea and such, have a therapeutic effect upon the human spirit and calms the troubled soul. Some inner and deeper quality of Peace is there within Nature that resonates with us the way a concrete blast furnace and noisy, polluted highway would not.
Spirit would explain human social structures and qualities: Spirit would explain why happy people have more love than unhappy people and the happiest people are those who purely love the most and receive the most love. Spirit would explain why family is so important: for God is our parent and we in God's family needing an earthly family of our own. Spirit would explain why the breakdown of a society in history was closely connected with the state of the family: strong families make strong societies; weak families are a formula for societal misery. The human being is only fulfilled in a family and most fulfilled in the most caring of families for we are in God's family and most (not all) feel God loves us. And, what of emotions and love? There are no more important things in the human life – and they are immaterial. Those who do not possess love smother in depression, hate, or social maladjustment and are given to mental illness or crime.
Spirit would explain life after death, out-of-body experience, ESP, faith-healing, the experience of those who have died and in being revived, brought back reports of heaven. Would, in some instances, explain fate and karma. Would explain intuition: intuition can best be accounted for as a non-physical phenomena especially when strong and accurate feelings are held in the absence of physical proof or evidence. Explain why materialism alone ends up robbing the being of sanity and happiness. Explains why love is the most powerful force: it required an act of love to make a universe given to others.
Concluding thoughts:
A man is 170 pounds of flesh. All our substance originates from the earth. Man has soul. That man has soul is no different from taking 170 pounds of clay from the earth and fashioning it in the form of man and "breathing life" into it, as it were. The human mind can not well comprehend the fact that we are 170 pounds of clay and in possession of soul or spirit. That we possess soul or spirit can only be because it is a quality of the 170 pounds of Nature itself from which we were derived. Meaning to say that photon clashes in the early universe made matter and it was 170 pounds of photons that made us. And, going back farther, photons (i.e. electromagnetism) and the other force particles (the strong, weak, and gravitational particles) emerged from superforce. We are, in essence, the equivalent of 170 pounds of superforce. And, as superforce was not at all matter, was immaterial, and was the source from which intelligence, life, and the human soul emerged, the writer is saying that this superforce is for all practical purposes what the Christian and religious person calls Spirit. This is what the writer means by saying we are 170 pounds of Nature itself.
Spirit will not be found in any Chemist's test tube. It's essence, Spirit will not be found in a Physicist's particle Collider where they, nonetheless, are colliding particles of God's Body. But, a look around us reveals without a question that Spirit is the fabric of existence. All things are vibration, or Spirit because God is. And God made our world. And, on this world, breathed into us life. This is not the end of the story for through our spirit, the better part of each of us can communicate with God. A communication of sprit to Spirit: the purpose of our existence. Communion with our Spiritual Parent, God.
