Energy and matter as it pertains to all existence







The idea of energy and matter can be used when contemplating what seem to be significantly different dimensions of life/existence as a tool for a better understanding of systems within our existence and of reality as a whole.





The idea of matter vs energy can be translated into an idea of things vs ways; objects vs affects; beliefs/opinions vs contemplation; Action vs thought; business establishments vs trade/inter-business communication-  E.g., The physical, concrete things  vs  the way those things interact.






Our existence, as we know it, involves both matter and energy; things, and ways;- but I believe that when we invest ourselves in matter, we lose truth (of reality).  When we "give up" on matter, we gain truth (of reality).  However, to give up entirely on matter is to give up entirely on our existence as we know it.



I believe that in pure contemplation lies pure truth.  To form an opinion (or any thought for that matter) is an act of distancing one's self from the truth; in fact the thoughts themselves are fallacies.  However, to never form an opinion or make a choice is to never exist as it is generally defined; It's a trade-off between truth and (popular) existence.




Thoughts disparage one's self from the truth; but if there is no thought, there is no existence as we know it- there is only being within patterns. 


Pure truth is living within the patterns, but if there are no patterns, and just uniform energy, there is no true existence. 



Existence, as we know it, comes from the emergence of characteristics from patterns, but the emergence is a fallacy; Existence, as we know it, is a fallacy.






I believe that in pure energy lies the truest existence of the universe.  That matter is just a perceived (perceived as opposed to actually real) by-product of energy patterns.  However this perceived emergent thing called matter, and it's interaction via "energy", is currently existence as we know it.



Consider hand puppets- the patterns of energy are the hands within the puppets; the fallacy is the puppets themselves.  We see a world where the puppets are interacting with eachother- but this is all false;  What is in fact happening is the patterns interacting with eachother.  Remove the puppets from the hands and you see the truth.







What is real are the patterns of energy.  In a concluded pattern is emergent fallacy- matter, or an idea.  Conclusions themselves are a fallacy.



Truth lies in energy; in the BEing, and if there are patterns, then also in being the patterns of energy, but not in what is "created from the patterns".




Being requires energy and existing requires patterns.  We, as humans take this one step further and claim existence with matter, which is a fallacy.



"Emergence" itself, per the emergence of characteristics from energy patterns, is the fallacy.  To buy into "emergence" is to buy into a false world.




Matter isn't real; the emergence of characteristics from patterns isn't real;  So where does the purest form of truth lie in the universe and reality?  It lies in the BEing within the patterns, rather than the being with the matter- because the matter is the falacy.




Note: 

      Try activities which allow you to let go of the pursuance of thought (allow you to "shut off your mind"), and merge with energy patterns.  One activity I can think of is free-dancing- letting go of thought, and becoming one with the music through dance- it has worked for me.  Others use meditation in conjunction with different types of rhythm (audio, breathing).  Others use psychedelics, which seem to artificially "break" your mind in conjunction with different types of rhythm.  I am not recommending nor promoting the use of psychedelics, it's just one route some people take.

A thought on synaptic pathing in the brain per  "Doer's"   vs   "Thinkers"   less ( Knee-jerk thoughts with conclusions  vs   consideration ), and beyond (action vs contemplation in groups, business, and nations).





------



The brain is a mass of potential synaptic connections. 



Point A is the originated place of a thought, Point B is the actionable outcome (not external/physical outcome; the end; in conjunction with Point A, creates a "conclusion") of the thought*.



Every time a brain uses a thought pathing (e.g., I'm going to eat... a banana), the connectivity from Point A to Point B becomes more direct.




-----




The more direct the connectivity, more efficient the thought.. but it's more than that.


It's less doubt, instantaneous- the thought beomes knee-jerk.  The person does not think about it.  The thought comes closer and closer to being hard-wired.


The mind becomes an instantaneous organ.  The person (in the areas of these thought pathways) becomes a do-er.  They act.  They do not think, they just act.  They get things done.


This is all because of the directness of the connectivity.




-----




On the opposite side of the spectrum is the mass of potential synaptic connections. 


The mass represents an infinite amount of possible connections, i.e, possible thoughts- on the opposite side of the spectrum is unlimited possibilities.



The more (dispersed) the pathway from Point A to Point B, the more "thoughts" (individual Point A to Point B thought blocks) that can enter into the macro thought pathway. The less a brain uses a single pathway, the less direct is the pathway, allowing more potential for (dispersion) of the entire path (macro pathway).





The more a brain resists (refrains from straightforward completion of) the process of going from Point A to Point B, the more expanded the pathway is allowed to be- but other micro pathways need to be available to the brain for them to be possible in the macro pathway**; 





Most micro pathways (thoughts) are interconnected, either directly or indirectly, but the addition of new micro pathways into a macro pathway is much easier when the connection has been previously introduced.  This introduction can be direct (someone telling another: Eisenhower liked the color blue), or "indirect" (someone telling another: When he was a teenager, most of Eisenhower's things were blue), with a scaling degree of directness, from obvious to where the connectivity is practically unseen.  The more direct a connectivity, the easier, and greater the chance that a micro path will be added to a macro path.


(For instance, with a person considering decorating Eisenhower's house, the former statement would be added to the macro thought(s) much easier.)






The more (dispersed) a pathway, the less efficient it is.  Conclusions are slower.  Thoughts are less defined.  The pathway is more prone to be "tied up" in micro pathways.  The less-direct the connectivity of a pathway, the more potential there is to bring in irrelevant micro pathways into a macro. (i.e., to bring in thoughts that have, at best, no value to the conclusion of the macro thought, and at worst, to create a conclusion to the thought that is wholy "incorrect").  (Uncontrolled) (dispersion) can be madness, with a thought pathway bringing in micro pathways that have no actual connection to the macro pathway.





On the "flip-side", the less-direct connectivity of a pathway, the more potential there is to bring in more "insight" into a pathway, or thought-  the more potential to arrive at the "best" conclusion to a pathway.  Put another way, a less-direct pathing of a pathway that involves connectivity with micro pathways that are relevant to the macro pathway brings in the potential for greater understanding and a wiser conclusion to the pathway.




-----




I believe that a (dispersed) state of the brain is our natural state from birth, and as we grow many of our pathways become more direct.




-----




Without too much work one can bring this idea from the brain, into groups, businesses, and nations, as humans tend to recreate themselves in their macro representations (groups, businesses, societies, nations).  Without going too much into it, consider a nation that has used militarism as their fundamental interaction with the "outside world"; to have the nation pursue a path that isn't militarism would be a significantly difficult path (because the pathways would not be built for other "ways"- the only efficient "macro pathway" would be violence.







-------



*A thought can be broken down into many, approaching infinite Point A's and Point B's;  A concrete, recognized thought, built from a multitude of thought (Point A to Point B) building blocks.


I'm going to eat (Point A)... a banana (Point B).


I'm going to (Point A) eat (Point B)   A banana (Point A and Point B)


I (Point A) am (Point B) going (Point A and Point B) to eat (Point A and Point B) a banana (Point A and Point B)


(I can be broken down into many Point A's and B's, same with am, going, to eat, and a banana)





** A person kept in total confinement from birth to acceptable consciousness (if this were possible w/out death), and taught only that they are human (given no other input, verbal or non-verbal, to absorb) (if this were possible) and given a pathway to process (e.g., "What are you?") (pathway is "I am human"), whether they resist the processing of the pathway or not, nothing extra will enter into the pathway- because there is nothing available to be added into it.  At most, there will only be greater potential for other things to be added to the pathway.
