Cycle in the universe
Universe Grand Design
The universe as big cycle
From Einstein's
physics
to consciousness and
the Universe Grand Design.
Cornel Slenters
Without
question Einstein's most famous equation is E=Mc2.
In philosophical terms it suggests that energy
originates from matter. Associated images are
nuclear power plants, nuclear bombs etc. As an
illustration that it is firmly embedded in our
minds, just enter E=Mc2 as a search word
in your favorite search engine and watch the hit
counter. Google gave me approximately 65'000 hits.
Einstein's theory of relativity is a linear
theory and it is perfectly correct to express the
relationship between mass and energy in the reverse
order, thus M=E/c2. In philosophical terms,
this form would suggest that matter might originate from
energy. Does it make sense? It certainly looks
unfamiliar and a quick test with a search engine for
M=E/c2 will confirm this, with a mere 500
hits.
On this website I
will reason the benefits of looking at the second
interpretation more closely because it can lead to a
wide range of benefits, for individuals and society.
Some examples of benefits already visible or clearly
within reach:
- The universe has meaning and it becomes easy to see.
- Our lives have meaning and it is easier to relate to our deeper driving forces.
- New energy sources can be tapped, because 'energy' is better understood.
- The mind body relationship is better understood; potential for new therapies.
- We can tap new sources of creativity; for conflict resolution and wealth creation.
- We can tap our individual potentials more and enjoy the journey more.
- There is a better fit with many of the contemporary scientific discoveries.
The cycle
The nature of the universe can be viewed as a
giant cycle. This idea is not new and appears in ancient
texts, legends, oriental philosophies, such as in Vedic
concepts.
However, when we reason from the common notion
that energy originates from matter, thus E=Mc2,
there is no cycle. Instead we have to resort to
questionable ideas like 'big bang' in order to
compensate for some very fundamental gaps in our
understanding. Moreover, our understanding of physical
reality continues to be on a loose footing since
fundamentals like gravity, energy and time are still
poorly understood.
Now, if we reverse the order, thus M=E/c2, suggesting that matter originates from energy, we are in for some very pleasant surprises:
- The universe does appear as a giant cycle.
- The 'big bang' is no longer needed.
- The word energy takes on a richer meaning.
The major phases in the cycle
The diagram on the left illustrates the major phases in the cycle:The Great Scaling Pattern
The Great Scaling
Pattern is a universal pattern of interactions, of
constant renewal, seemingly fundamental to all our
experiences. Once we know it, we can recognize it
with ease in a wide range of phenomena, such as the
formation of stars and galaxies, the structure of
our brain, cell structures, geographic maps,
interpersonal relations, structures in society etc.
Consciousness
The nature of the Great
Scaling Pattern leads to a uniqueness of every
'identity' in the universe. The dynamic nature of the
universe acts as an agent of change on the 'identity',
yet the 'identity' wants to preserve its identity.
These two forces create an imbalance. The mediating
force between these two forces is called
consciousness. This form of consciousness is therefore
present in all aspects of the universe and our
experiences, physical as well as non-physical.
We use the term
'identity' to illustrate the dynamics of
consciousness. The actual nature of 'identities' are
looping interaction patterns, physical and
non-physical.
Directed energy
The nature of this consciousness is such that
it channels energy directed at mediating the imbalances,
physical and non-physical. It is argued that this energy
drives our actual universe. We have thus closed the
cycle.
Example
In order to get a feel for what consciousness
means in every day live, please reflect for a
moment on your own thoughts after reading the above
paragraphs:
These concepts are possibly new for you. You
have big mental investments in trying to make sense of
the world, in terms of your education, personal
experiences, your logical reasoning. This is one aspect
of your identity and it wants to preserve what it has
(resist change). If external events come your way that
would force you to reinterpret your past experiences, we
start to see a mediating force between a drive towards
stability (the aspect of your identity) and a drive for
adaptation. This is the notion of consciousness related
to this situation, resulting in thoughts, decisions,
actions. All of these are directed energy. If all of
this leaves you 100% cold and you go your own sweet ways
as before, there is no energy released towards a new
order of understanding and organization.
Expanding universe
This Great Scaling Pattern leads to identity
in its myriad forms, which leads to consciousness in its
myriad forms, which leads to directed energy, which
leads to the Great Scaling Pattern, and so on ... in
ever expanding cycles. Thus, we are looking at an
expanding universe, but for a different reason.
Back to M=E/c2, how is matter generated?
There is a notion among a number of leading
scientists that most energy is not materialized in
matter, called background energy. We can therefore
picture a non-local high energy field which is generated
by consciousness from all aspects and identities in the
universe. How is matter generated? It is localized
energy resulting from fast spinning loops in a non-local
high energy field, causing collapse of the wave
function, giving us M=E/c2. Click below for
more details on the overall cycle.
