The Clarity of Darkness

12/16/2017

Having written a post on Facebook that received 26 Likes in 12 hours, the matter of Darkness springs to mind as worth exploring here; an aspect of life touching us all, one way or another, and there are misconceptions about it which can prove disturbing - for some, they can appear to be downright dangerous. The post had a purpose of its own, a singularity perhaps, but it hit home for many others too, so therein lies a small, sweet lesson - nothing we experience need ever go to waste.

Darkness, a feature of the Universe, in scientific terms is a source of great mystery, for not only can it not be seen, it can't be identified either. Dark Matter makes a startling proportion of everything that exists, and yet it slips the net of observation every time, In a strange paradox, Darknesses of Mind are equally hard to fathom. (In the article linked, you'll find an interesting take on this.) Hard to identify, they fleetingly take hold and when they are gone, we wonder at their foundation. In feeling bright, gloom disappears. Nor is there much to explain why these transitions take place; as 'the blues' shout reasons for being there, in the same instant we can be telling ourselves all the reasons why we shouldn't be feeling this way.

To suggest there is clarity in darkness might seem absurd - as the comment on the Facebook post suggests, the rendition of a story and its everlasting consequences can look pretty depressing. But a 'depression' is a pressing in, a hollow, a weather front of low pressure; many things using the word 'depression' are ambivalent, yet hint at the same construct - a concavity, an undertow, the 'down' to balance the 'up'. Without one the other can't exist, and the ups and downs of life are common to everyone, so why do we shy from the concave and seek only the convex?   

In an enlightening Light, we see things from a positive perspective. In the darkest of thoughts, our perspective is negative. We live in a Universe (or an area of the Universe) dominated by negative Electrons, whose positive counterparts Positrons are annihilated as soon as they appear. In their annihilation, energy is produced, which leads me to believe that in the flux of our mental states, we orchestrate a balance between electrons and positrons all the time. In my early days of quantum investigation, I wondered why people are drawn towards cynicism, depression, anxiety... all kinds of negative mental states which sometimes even cost lives. When I found out about electron/positron annihilation, and the amount of energy expended in its process, I realised that feelings of joy, happiness and ecstasy come with a lot of energy we can use to good effect, while their negative opposites wear us out, leaving us 'feeling drained' and infecting others in contact to feel the same, hence the use of the term 'vampire' often used in this context.

Clear and present danger in negativity is there - we don't especially like to entertain it. While we busy ourselves in finding ways to circumvent Darkness, we do our best to find ones that work. No matter what we do, we can't avoid depression completely, and we've heard tell it's good to consider the root of a problem, to find a route to the root before setting off for a solution. Inevitably, we're going to find a root in ourselves, whether it's in a habit we haven't yet broken or a piece of our ancient history we haven't yet given time to dwelling on.

Take no notice of those who tell you not to dwell. Go dwell. Dwell for as long as it takes - 'Dwell' isn't a bad word. When you've done dwelling, you'll find in the time taken to dwell (which might have seemed fruitless at the time), while answers have been rising to the surface and breaking into your thoughts like bubbles, the solutions have been riding along in the undertow waiting to find you.

Clarity comes in waves, to be muddied by emotions we don't necessarily want. But we need a dark/light balance, otherwise we are held fast by the illusions of one to the other - tricks of the light are as powerful as traps of blackness. Gems are in the Dark, gems of understanding and information. Sometimes it takes a mirror, someone else to see it for us, or something to happen that reflects the truth of our personal mysteries, before we can safely say we've cracked it. But when we do, we discover self-reliance. The energy of discovery lifts us above the tempest of need, attachment, loss and sorrow, all of which come down to an emptiness in the Self, and where an electron finds a well, it'll fill it with probability. 

Trust those positrons, trust yourself, and trust that the way forward will come along when it's ready. when you've dwelt on it enough and given it time to mature. Where there is trust, there is Love, and where Love fills the spaces, those electrons may do their best.... but even in so doing, the energy from their collisions is a natural part of life's refuelling process, so the fear that accompanies the darkness of negativity can only hold for so long once Beauty and Truth are given their rightful places at the helm of whatever comes next.

I'm not sure where this came from but I saw this last night, perhaps it was a post. It seems to resonate, I think with Kathy's article.

Thinking in Tune
"The power of coming together as a group to achieve a superordinate goal stems from a, Collective Resonance Effect.

Psychologists at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development in Berlin, Germany, and the University of Salzburg, Austria, once studied the brain activity of pairs of guitarists playing a short melody together by placing an EEG cap on each of the musicians as they played together as a group and recorded each individuals brain activity.

Entire areas of the brain had synchronized patterns, with the frontal and central regions the strongest, but the temporal and parietal regions also showing high synchronization in at least half of the guitarist pairs.

Parietal regions govern our sense of self in space, and in this instance, the synchrony suggests a move towards oneness. These results demonstrate that we move beyond the self when we work to create something together.

Like a Jazz group working together as a superorganisem to produce a common sound, we're working together to produce a common result."

There must be no doubt that the Quantum world must pervade the whole Universe and our thoughts must be in that equation. It is interesting to see that in the article wot I wrote above they say that "the temporal and parietal regions also showing high synchronization in at least half the guitarist pairs." Perhaps when people have a common goal together it may depend upon the whole group resonating together to achieve success, like the positron being annihilated, a group that doesn't synchronise together will have limiting success. It gets curiouser and curiouser!

It is a wry irony that I cannot read the original Facebook post. The origins of this post seem to come from an anonymous Internet darkness...

Yes, isn't it just? And yes, indeed it is. Does. As darknesses are meant to do.

Hi everyone, Kathy has agreed for me to put this suggestion to the group.

At 10pm on a Sunday providing it is safe to do so, and those that would like to participate; we would have a few moments of connection. An intention meditation where, whatever we are doing we just bring our minds to the group, drop our shoulders to relax any tension there, take a deep breath and as we breath out just be in the moment with an intention to heal any personal problems within our own lives.

Because we are all connected and science is finding more and more evidence that we are; our collective consciousness as a spiritual group will manifest in some way to heal or bring peace of mind.

I am throwing this idea out to you and if you have any ideas in this regard, you will have to pass them to the boss - our lovely Kathy Ratcliffe.

I personally will be making 10pm on a Sunday a beautiful time. We could even make a special table up with beautiful things, whatever!

A quote to finish - "Max Planck the father of Quantum physics said, "For matter to exist there must be some force and that force is mind."

Just want to say one more thing about our group consciousness.

Professor Emeritus William A. Tiller of Stanford University Dept. of Material Science :-

Using only the mental intention of four excellent meditators in Arizona with results at multiple locations around the world, the force of that conscious intention was able to speed up the gestation of fruit flies in a faraday cage by 25 per cent and change the pH balance of water by one full pH both up and down, also in a faraday cage.

Large scale group consciousness has affects in the physical world. Knowing this, we can intentionally work towards a brighter, more conscious future.

The Quantum field is where it all begins and I think that when we can meditate regularly and encourage meditation, we can reach a brighter, more conscious future. Thank you Kathy for bringing Quantumology to Swindon. May the force be with you!
