At the beginning of the last century, quantum physics
fundamentally changed the world view that was based upon
classical physics. Its further development is the beginning
of what is called consciousness physics. It is said that
our mental faculties are also fundamental processes, which,
in turn, have a lot in common with quantum physical processes.
Today, consciousness physics is thus regarded as the "tip
of the iceberg".
The first law of thermodynamics tells us that energy can
neither be gained nor lost. It follows from this, that
the universe neither contains energy users nor energy
sources, but only converters. This knowledge finds confirmation
in the eternal rhythm of the two basic forces of many
philosophies, the so-called yin & yang, which stand
for the female and the male principle. Life is an oscillating
interplay of these two forces, which find unification
in the Tao and are transcended into a whole.
We know that if a closed system is left to its own devices,
it strives towards a state of maximum disorder. Chaos
thus represents the basis of life. Since nature also works
according to the principle of maximum energy efficiency,
this corresponds to the lowest energy level.
The element water as the earthly representative, as it
were, has the need and the intelligence to take the path
of least resistance. This at the same time corresponds
to the underlying principle of nature as striving for
the highest degree of efficiency. This represents the
ideal basis for arbitrary structuring/shaping, since the
least amount of additional (converted) energy opens up
an infinite multiplicity of designs. The energetically
speaking lowest level thus represents the highest degree
of unconsciousness, i.e. nature itself. Consciousness
is needed in order to be able to meet or come face to
face with it. The "fundamental matrix" of life,
however, is the unconscious. Consciousness thus corresponds
to the highest level of knowledge, the tip of the iceberg.
For instance, consciousness could be compared with a CAD
drawing, which defines several drawing levels, so-called
layers. The individual layers can be hidden, which only
leaves those elements which appear useful for viewing
or editing. Once the drawing is complete, all essential
layers are displayed again and the drawing is printed
out. Although, potentially, the entire image is always
present, only specifically defined parts of it are visible.
 |
Applied to consciousness,
that means that depending on the individual and
specific consciousness of the observer at the time
of observation, either everything or only parts
of the entire image are visible. Only the observation
of all levels lets you see the entire image. Until
then, it is always just interpretation, or interpolation.
It follows that, fundamentally,
consciousness is potentially whole. There is therefore
no such thing as expansion of consciousness. Things
can therefore only be revealed and shown by adding
new perspectives – the blinkers are removed,
thereby adding new points of view. |
| The more conscious
we are – in the case of a mountain this would
correspond to proximity to the summit –, the
more we are able to survey and perceive what reveals
itself to us, and the further we can see.
This knowledge alludes to the
fact that the path we take in our lives is always
the right one. What we lack, however, is an overview
of what is happening and an understanding of the
correctness of the things that are happening, because
we are unable to place them into context. |
|
All life in the universe is based on
rhythm. Only periodic phenomena allow for a process of
oscillation. Therefore, through the factor of time, the
things that are at the core reveal themselves more and
more clearly.
The challenge of life is thus to recognise that which
is as such. If that is not the case, we use additional
movement to bring other elements into the existing system,
which only causes the oscillations to build up even more.
In accordance with the laws of thermodynamics, this system
of two forces strives towards equilibrium and will remain
in this state if left to do so. Nature thus strives towards
equilibrium, however this may look.
It is thus a question of the position of the system that
is observed, to be able to recognise the state it is in,
where it is positioned and what it is. Only then do we
know which steps to take to support the process.
For:
"Only once we know where we are
are we able to recognise
why things are the way they are."
