About breathing in a better connection to life's natural events and our actions. The collection explores the dynamics of interaction between one and another. The music here also uses satire to help visualize our judgments. Most music composed for film or video will be of various lengths, differing emotions and different tempos. I have produced music that is just seconds long. Consider that a TV commercial is just 30 seconds long and the average pop song on the radio is around 3 to 4 mins. For film, sometimes over 2 hours of differing material is needed. Themes created for characters or movies are even altered throughout the movie to match the length and impact of differing scenes. Other music can be transitioning music from one scene to another. Music is created to go underneath speech, enhance effects, and some is meant to stand out on its own. Most music is written with a time signature, a beat or a count. Examples would be 3/4 or 4/4, however, the music produced for film speeds up and slows down depending on movement, action and emotion, it can break the time signature right down to the frame. The tracks presented here vary in length and movement to match their particular scenes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1612198340523-HVKUROXOV0JUQS1E7KKQ/image-asset.jpeg Released from the Castle - Veltron Journey Back Cover Released 2018 Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

A fast moving and loud symphony? A slow moving and quiet symphony? A combination of electric and acoustic sounds? (Definitions for these words are at the bottom) Music for Electric Guitar and Real (or Electric) Orchestra Why? Music written for exciting High School or Small College performances. It can accommodate any combination of electric guitar, keyboard or acoustic instruments. There is often a separation of the people between orchestral and rock music. When I was younger, people who listened to or played classical music weren’t cool enough for me. Putting the radio on a classical station was viewed as a punishable musical crime. As I began studying orchestra in Jr High, my musical tastes began to widen up. Soon I was disturbed that my rock friends would never break code and listen to a symphony, then soon I noticed my classical music friends would say that pop music was useless because it was too easy to play My dilemma was simple, find a way to give equal justice to the Guitar Hero, the Flute Hero, the Oboe and String Hero, etc. of the school, in one performance. The answer turned out to be writing my own simple arrangement. Many great musical pieces have been written for guitar and orchestra, so what makes Blistering Consonance different? It’s easy to learn- A High School or Small College Orchestra can master this in just a few weeks. It’s fun, loud and moving- It will get strong reactions from the crowd of both classical and rock listeners. Its four movements last about 10 mins total- Only a little more than twice the length of pop tune, but close to the length of some symphonic movements. A great opener or concert final for parents and kids to enjoy and look forward to. The instrument layout can change- Use a trumpet instead of a flute, etc. Use a trombone section instead of a string section, etc. Use strings for some of the picking sounds instead of guitar, etc. Use electronic keyboard for parts that you don’t have real instruments for. Experiment with percussion- The music is written so both percussion and/or a drum set will work. Add additional parts to fit your orchestra any time- There is no copyright infringement! It’s hard to pronounce- Of course it is, like any other symphony. Sheet music is available for any orchestra free of charge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1612198780936-FKQ5AHIR67CEW96OQUCT/image-asset.jpeg Released from the Castle - Blistering Consonance Back Cover Released 2019 Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

The music that comes through the castle walls is so clear and clean it can be heard for miles and miles, attracting all who hear it. The music comes in many flavors and for all seasons. People soon realized that it wasn't just music that came to life at the castle, but also the power to create beautiful visual stories into realization. In the tower, were the tools to create such stories. The music that's created at the castle is more about telling stories and taking journeys. It was more about adding music to the sight of beauty and the love of the visual images that people had created from the tower for inspiration. From time to time, ships would arrive at the harbor carrying many new and old instruments that were carried promptly into the castle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597347022895-HD3VTTFTHVXL0LPCKRSP/image-asset.jpeg Tale of the Castle https://www.babyteethrupian.com/creation daily 0.75 2020-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597348902171-FWBS0NQRN78LW7AWJJNK/image-asset.jpeg Creation Creating Crystal Journey. Many beautiful pieces of music have been produced around crystal bowls. Usually soft, it sounds very much like music from India or China, that moves very well with the crystal sounds and healing attributes. My goal was to integrate the bowls healing attributes into films, without standing out like it is music for crystal bowls. I wanted the healing to be part of the film itself. This would be fairly easy if it was a “feel good movie”. The hard part would be integrating the music into action sequences, transition sections and under dialog. Imagine a person being healed each time they watched a movie. As the movie evolves, the bowls could also evolve with the stories and scenes. If any melodies stick in your head, the bowls would be a part of that melody and heal away from the film itself! Each movement of the music here has a different style, similar to a film and its different scenes. There are tender segments, groove segments, dream sequences, action parts and moving (“spiritually”) sections. There are percussive parts and the sounds of life. Throughout the piece, the crystal bowl sounds are integrated into all the movements of the music. In some places, the bowl is heard alone. In some sections, the bowl replaces other percussion (cymbles, snare drums, etc). Some bowl sounds are made part of another sound (like thunder and wind). Some actual instruments, that were made using the bowls to play melodies. https://www.babyteethrupian.com/listen-up daily 0.75 2022-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597369922698-UEB5RNU3RQDUBP51PKW9/image-asset.jpeg Listen Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1611765218940-R4BSJIOJDA9X2EOHBBYQ/RPM_Cover.jpg Listen Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597369868393-CZ4YMIMWTJJ97BFPQIMV/image-asset.jpeg Listen Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597369824733-H5DSF1J6BA0AFIYTD7N5/image-asset.jpeg Listen Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/947fd056-31bc-4a19-adc1-fcc4fd3575e3/QuntumStatesCover.jpg Listen Up - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.babyteethrupian.com/artifacts daily 0.75 2020-09-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597415085208-IFTQE3VX5Y4PWKHCEAUI/tape_2track_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597416986055-PD7OD4E4BNA5JWLZW0MF/wollensak_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417017636-4OW1HC8QIDJLQ5M60XQV/reel_crig_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597416986549-ANOUZGWD4FXL9UVQZIWY/sony_casset1_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597416980890-5X0355JAYTZIT0BCYEOX/4Track.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417000507-KOZGGTCXIBJZTMYLLT42/Sony_Walkman_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597416986550-EUKBP5RG3TAV227QRLPT/walkman2_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417019288-K4YZYHZMPQDSN4J8BN28/Emerson_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417016186-AQTM7THHLPTWJW7AFEEF/clock_radio1_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417031896-58YAN7S42FJNDNMBDA4E/phonoplayer45_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417008289-RGSDCEMVRR2MBD31LQEO/phono_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417023259-BSNZQDM1KOC4ILAYYPZ2/boss_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417054656-R65GQ6OIQ0052B3QI2WT/SoundCanvas_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417048335-HZEYP0I4G3LTWRXPU9Q1/GRSynth_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417047807-OJYQ6GDQ6DIR4U64T59Z/vamp_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417047105-SBFEYPCTOSIW8Y3X3OTK/Korg_guitar_synth_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417056311-T3KTD6883MC8J8UX6HPC/BiAmpMixer_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417070208-TY2EBJZ3VTT5AIH0KTTT/LittleYamaha_2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417070814-W0AVZQTF56HRCT3VD14W/Moniters.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1597417067578-NYSA5AQ52E8RERFKD5ST/Switcher+2500.jpg Artifacts https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1600792452615-CIQ86FLH9HKDP8Z4Y1PO/Pianoo.jpg Artifacts https://www.babyteethrupian.com/classes daily 0.75 2021-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce592c8732098000152407a/1558987422306-GQGU6107CQ9RT1L10G9I/image-asset.jpeg Classes - Example Class Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

We seek answers about our past, present, and future, and look to science, religion, and spirituality for guidance. In this book, we explore some of the most fundamental questions about our existence and the universe we inhabit, using the ancient wisdom of the I Ching as a starting point. Through a series of questions and answers, we delve into the mysteries of the universe, asking about the origins of our universe, the existence of life elsewhere in the cosmos, and the purpose of human life. We contemplate the nature of reality, consciousness, and death, and explore the relationship between individual and collective consciousness. We also explore the role of spirituality and religion in human life, asking how these beliefs can help us cultivate inner peace, harmony, and empathy. We examine the nature of suffering, and consider how we can learn from our mistakes and failures. We ask about the significance of forgiveness, the nature of karma, and the importance of compassion and empathy. Finally, we explore how science and religion can work together to help us better understand the physical and spiritual worlds, and ask what governments can do to serve their people and bring peace to the world. Whether you are a seeker of spiritual or scientific knowledge, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of some of life's biggest questions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/2148e766-dee0-400b-b8a3-a73d69471935/image-asset.png Books - The Tao of Christ The Way and the Light Uniting The New Testament and The Tao Te Ching The Way and The Light The Tao, representing the path of existence, offers guidance on living in harmony with nature, while Christ's light illuminates the path towards salvation and divine union. Together, they create a unique tapestry of wisdom, intertwining the cosmic and the divine, the practical and the transcendent. The New Testament, through the teachings of Jesus Christ, emphasizes love, compassion, forgiveness, and the importance of treating others with kindness. The Tao Te Ching promotes virtues such as humility, simplicity, non-attachment, and the harmonious interaction. By examining their similarities, one can develop a broader, unifying understanding of the diversity of human thought, spirituality and belief systems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/72f74372-5b4e-4301-9a36-42221a0b11f0/image-asset.jpeg Books - Cauldron Pathways Personal Journal Full-sized 365-day Diary / Journal Keep track of your treasured days and watch your year unfold. Study your entries and realize the paths you take and the ones you leave behind. You can begin to spot helpful progressions and recognize the patterns you take that lead to unhappiness. The Cauldron Pathways Personal Journal is divided into different sections for easy entry, reference, and understanding. Everyday Diary, Dream Journal, Diet Journal, Exercise, Study or Development, I Ching Journal, Fire and Water Balancing. The information contained in each section can be correlated as a whole for better visualization. Using the Fire and Water section, allows you to place information from your journal into a visual display of the progressions. The Fire and Water section gives you an easy way to compare one aspect of your life to another. You can compare simple aspects together, like the amount of energy you receive from different foods. Or, you can recognize the amount of sleep you get as opposed to your dream cycles. Look for connections of events that cause stress or motivation. See if what your reading or watching is effecting your dreams or reality. More complex correlations can be seen between any information you have entered. Go back at any time and change, or re-evaluate the comparisons. Add to the visualizations using any personal markings. The Fire and Water Balancing section uses dots you have placed on a graph to create a layout. Using simple "follow the dots" lines, brings a display of all the aspects together. See each day compared to any other day, as a picture of movement or non-movement. For the I Ching user, the Personal Journal adds additional benefits. Keep a powerful diary of all your questions and responses. Having your I Ching journal correlated with other aspects of your days, can be creative and insightful.

From single celled life, all the way up to quadrillions of cells (humans, etc.), each life form's agenda is to stay alive and reproduce. If one element of their plan fails, then it becomes extinct. Surviving means more than finding food, water, and a light source. It also means more than finding a safe location away from things that can harm you. Each living thing that is alive right now has accomplished those tasks. Survival means more than just re production. Survival means the will to live. A Stronger Will Single-celled creatures have rules (operations) that can organize their reproduction. Still, larger creatures are responsible for their food and reproduction. In larger creatures, the function of survival, to actually try from day to day, hour to hour, requires will. This use of will is a part of something in all life. It is a part of your brain function and your body functions. The stronger the will, the better chance of survival. The Coordination of Will (survival) The existence of all creatures requires other life forms to live. As you have heard many times, all life is codependent on each other. If a particular animal or plant dies off, then other creatures die off or change their method of survival. Each one of these creations uses its will to strengthen life, for the evolution of its kind. The Will and the Right Decisions Will requires making decisions. Will is not on autopilot; it must be part of the decision process to survive or reproduce. A will is built on experience and success. The right decisions from your will, moves you towards all goals, even the ones you fail. If you fail, your will makes you get up, learn, and try again. This is a function of survival for all larger creatures. The Will of the Universe This will to live came from our evolution. Our evolution was guided along with the creation of the universe and programmed in, if you rather. Whether you look at our creation in a scientific way or a religious way, we all are aware that the will of the universe is our development. The Will of Happiness After you have accomplished something positive, you are happy, even if just for a short while. So, part of this will is the happiness of success. This will for joy is also a part of our evolution; again programmed in, so it must be possible to will ourselves into happiness. The Emotion of Happiness Emotion is also part of our evolutionary process. Feelings became a large part of our survival and reproduction. We were given (or evolved) emotions for our survival and happiness. The pain and hurt we feel (emotionally) are a safety net or an indication that something must change for our happiness. Crying and laughter both are a function of releasing energy and stress. Part of this evolution of emotion, built into us, is to give us balance in thought and action. We need to have feelings to help us act and respond in thousands of different ways. Each time we encounter anything physical, mental, or spiritual, our brain layers and blends our mixed emotions into a new different feeling for every action or event. It stores these feelings away to help you remember things by feeling them, not just seeing them. The emotions are also used in planning and development. To survive differing circumstances, our emotions can be layered in a different order. We can find a way to re-layer our feelings, with our priorities on top. Then, we can change the way we respond to the same situation again. Emotions can be changed by the will, not so much how it “feels”, but how we respond. The Balance of Happiness The universe (or God) does everything it can for us to survive and reproduce. It rains and shines on all of us all of the time. We have our light and heat source, our air, water, and such. We have been built with a will that can lead us to success. Part of this function and the evolutionary process is the generation (creation) of happiness. It appears that the universe is also trying to make us happy. We have all learned that energy changes into mass and mass changes into energy. This constant process is how our world was created and how it changes or evolves from day to day. There is a balance, created by the universe, between this mass and energy. For example: The sun sends us heat and light that turns energy into mass. We then take this mass and turn it into energy. This is how we process and live off of our food. We ingest the food, where we pull the nutrients out of the food and then return the rest as waste product. Similarly, our emotions and actions are realized. A balance can be drawn between emotion and action. For example: You go to a theme park and buy a seat on a new ride. The first time around the track, you are scared, but after a few trips around, your emotions have “balanced” to your action, and you are not as scared. The next time you return to the theme park, the ride will not be as “emotional”. The universe has built into our evolution the ability to adapt to circumstances. Not just physically, but emotionally. This balance allows us to learn how to change our responses to events we experience and learn from them. The change is created by re-layering (changing the preference or priority) our emotions in a different way. This is where our intelligence guides our feelings. Through this layering of emotion, we change one type of response for another. We have functions to release sad emotions, such as crying, and enhance better feelings such, as laughing. Throughout our lives, we will continuously change one emotion with another. How we learn and what we learn from events in our lives, change our emotional response to them. Positive and Negative Energy We may have a misinterpretation of the word negative energy. Negative energy has sometimes been associated with bad energy, or bad moments, or evil thoughts. Negative energy is just like the (-) side of a battery. It can go from its current charge to a positive charge, but remember that positive energy gets changed to negative energy in the process. This process is similar to our everyday life. Somedays we are happy, somedays we are not. They are continually changing from, one to the other. The universe uses this ex change of energy to create and to balance itself. Some where between the plus (+) and minus (-) of a battery is all the power. When we say that we have negative energy in us or around us, it means that we are low on energy and happiness. We need a change in our charge and transform a more positive flow. The universe tries to keep us in balance physically and emotionally. Sometimes, through change in our lives, we can dust-off, if you will, the low energy and feel more motivated and happy. These changes can happen in a thousand different ways. We can turn negative energy into positive energy, by using our will connected with our emotions. Happiness in Living The universe provided everything necessary for us to be happy. If you can sit in the beauty of the Earth, you have everything you need. It provides food, water, and a brain that is capable of reason and creativity. All that is necessary to do is to participate. Depression, however, can be lazy. Depression can sit there idle without connection to life. The energy is wasted on bad thoughts, ill tempers, and inactivity. Ask yourself, how exhausted you get when you are depressed? How do we Return Energy to the Universe? We return this energy as productivity and caring. These are the only tools we have to give back our fair share. The vegetable kingdom gives us an energy food source. This is how its evolution has brought it to us to eat. We use our energy to move and think just like other creatures, but if we can act positively, we use this energy in ways it can be returned. The ocean’s evolution brought it to a place where it can promote life and reproduction. The tree’s development has brought it to a place where it can support life and reproduction. Fruit and flowers, etc. follow similar development. These creations on the Earth give back their energy to others, each in different ways. All brought about as a part of their evolution. What is our evolutionary return to the universe? We have evolved to be productive, creative, intelligent, and with the ability to care and aid each other. The function of everything in the universe is to promote life. Every time we further or sup port this function, we give the energy back in the only way a human can. We don’t have claws for eating, fins for swimming, or wings for flying, but what we do have are hands for building and caring. Why the Universe wants us to be Happy. The whole universe functions using the transformation of energy to mass to energy. The energy exchange is so high between some elements, it is enough to create a star. We exchange this energy every day, as does the universe. As we rely on this energy and life, so does the universe. It needs a return of energy from all creations. Man’s connection with the world is very complex. Still, it involves his will, his emotions, creativity, intelligence, understanding, responsibility, and productivity. Without the happiness of our race, the universe suffers. We can change our satisfaction with our will and emotions. This is how a human functions on many levels. The universe (God) has built into us ways of being happy. It would not have developed that into our evolution, if it wasn’t necessary for us. https://www.babyteethrupian.com/enlightenment daily 0.75 2021-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/1796df8f-0242-4fc3-892a-8a2adc30106c/fencWater.jpg Enlightenment - Enlightenment “Enlightenment comes to those who study and those who dream.” Simple Enlightenment Everyone has moments of enlightenment. All enlightenment is, or needs to be, is a realization of anything at all. For example: You realize how to solve a math problem, or you suddenly understand a religious concept, or you finally see over the top of the hill you have been climbing. Your heart may be stirred by poetry, art, music, a cause, or a movement. Evolving Enlightenment This is the changing enlightenment that we all have experienced. For example: an artist’s skills are broadening with her understanding of colors, as a student learns a subject at school, he becomes complete in his knowledge of that subject. An athlete would evolve in her abilities, the more she participated and practiced. Complex Enlightenment This type of enlightenment usually takes study, experience, a great deal of focus, or a powerful emotional or spiritual experience. This could be something as simple as understanding a dream, understanding the complexity of a physical function, or feeling a religious change of heart. It could be an astounding realization of a new way to decipher information or a life-changing spiritual enlightenment. Visualizing Enlightenment Our brain works in two halves called the left and right brain. The left brain functions in the area of math, direction, organization, and production. The right brain functions in the area of creativity, emotion, and imagination. The left and right brain function together so that we have a unique balance of "doing and thinking”, "laughter and tears”, "focus and relaxation”, "care and respect”. Everyone has a mixture of the left and right brain that is not exactly even. This, in part, is what gives us different personalities. If a group of people witness a particular event, although they may be similar, each person will have a slightly different perspective of the event. This, in part, is how the information is passed from one side of the brain to the other to make sense of what we just saw. Depending on the percentage of the left and right brain used to process an event, our assessment will be different. Again, we will view the event through our own personalities. Since these percentages are different for everyone, the information processed between the two brain parts is quite a bit different. What may make one person cry, may anger another, etc. Most people are dominated slightly, by one side of their brain. We are born this way. This is not necessarily a bad thing; it’s just the way we are as humans. Many things can also attribute to someone’s left or right brain dominance, just like the surroundings and situations of your life have changed and built your personality. This domination doesn’t mean that you can’t have strong powers of processing information on both sides of your brain. Some of the dominant behavior appears in the outsides of your personality. Some say a simple distinction between left and right-brained people would be, for example: a left-brained dominated person could be considered a thinker vs. an artist who would be considered to be a right-brain person, etc. That’s a good start, but we all know it goes much deeper than that. The skills of painting with a brush, require the right brain for creativity, and the left brain for the craft matching colors and brushes. If two people, a left brain dominated person and a right-brain dominated person, saw a sad event, they both may cry. So, a right-brained person, who are said to be more emotional, and a left brained person, may have the same reaction. Visualizing events, feeling moved, and being enlightened is also different for all of us. What might be a profound understanding for someone may mean nothing to someone else. Visualizing or understanding enlightenment is highly influenced by our left / right brain process. Recording and playback As we are experiencing an event, a feeling, or a calculation, we record it into our memory through our personality. How we judge and classify this event, is a part of how our character responds and remembers it. Different parts of the event are recorded into the different sides of our brains. These two bits of information are connected back together, through our personalities, when we remember them. The inputted information is split, for a simple example: emotions, feelings, comfort level, etc., are recorded into a part of the brain, while the details of the event (time, location, people, etc.) are recorded into another part. There are some scientists who say that the information used by the left brain is actually stored in the right brain’s memory and visa-versa. It is common that the two bits of information lose their connection. For example: maybe you can remember a feeling about an event and but not the details or dates. Female and male calculation The processing of information in the brains of females and males is different. There are very many similarities, but also many different ways that information is passed and processed. This does not mean that a woman cannot think and calculate like a man or that a man cannot feel caring like a woman. We have seen thousands of examples of men and women operating comfortably in the same functions. This is not a discussion of who is better at what job. To have survived as an evolving creature on Earth, both men and women must have been able to “cover” and “work with each other” for thousands of years. What can make for simple differences is hormones. Men and women have differing amounts of hormones functioning in their brains. Since, on a physical level, memory and information processing is partially a chemical function, differing hormones would chemically change our differing responses. Translating Enlightenment Since our version of an event or of how we feel emotionally can be so different from others, sharing these responses becomes very difficult. Even using science and mathematics, our response and understanding many be very dissimilar. Grasping a concept or seeing a pattern in calculation requires enlightenment. In other words, the numbers don’t mean anything without the enlightened reactions experienced during the learning process. Even having all the necessary information to make a calculation does not mean that it will be understood without enlightenment. This is most notable in the study of sub-atomic physics and astrophysics, for example. Enlightenment in Time and Space Grasping some of the concepts involved in the understanding of time and space are beyond using just our scientific brains. They both defy description or complete comprehension. They don’t contain sufficient information for us to understand and assess these concepts with our physical minds easily. "It takes both enlightenment and a calculator to comprehend the connection between the spirit and physics." We (our physical bodies) live in a material world governed by rules (tools might be better), which appear to work almost perfect for our positions on Earth. Using these rules, we have survived, reproduced, communicated, and functioned well on our physical planet. We can forever use these tools and rules to progress and function in the physical world. No matter what belief system, education, experience, or knowledge of the universe we have, the world as we move in it and see from it, will never change. For example: If we know that the Earth revolves around the sun or not, it appears the same. The universe did not change, we allow ourselves to see it differently. We (our belief systems), whether spiritual or scientific, and our connection to the universe live in a world governed by experiences that appear to be similar to most belief systems. The tools are meditation, prayer, respect, worship, wholeness, etc. No matter the belief system or point of view, these tools will always be there. We can forever use these tools to become closer to God or the universe. Once you have a spiritual experience, you view the world differently, but it appears the same. Whether you wake up in 1800 B.C. or 2800 A.D. and look at the tools available for spiritual advancement, they are the same. The spiritual world did not change with our spiritual awakenings; we allow ourselves to see it differently. These two views of the universe (scientific or spiritual) have always been a part of each other’s existence. Man has always tried to find answers using both directions. It's beautiful to realize the correlation between the two. It's our belief system that triggers one of our responses to each event. It’s beautiful to think that between each side of all things is the center of understanding. Common Views Both science and religion (or spirit world) have many things in common. Each one of these common ideas helps us to understand and reinforce our own beliefs and understanding. If you will, the eastern/internal view of the universe is a spiritual cycle of the union of life (spiritual does not have to mean religious or mystical). The western/external view of the universe is that it can be visualized and measured. The external world of science breaks each element of the universe into smaller and smaller parts to understand them. Each day the world of science grows into a better understanding of the universe. The internal world of the spirit tries to see the interactions and reactions involved in the union of the life and the universe. Each day many people have been enlightened by the spiritual evolution of life. For simplicity, I may call them “internal system(s)” and “external system(s)”. This is not an issue of a correct view of the universe. Both views have equal validity in all cases. These discussions are meant to add a physical connection during meditation, prayer etc. and a better understanding of the physical function of the universe from understanding its spiritual connections with probabilities and outcomes. The external view of the very small has similarities to the internal aspect of the functions of the universe at large. They also have very many similarities in the physical world. To talk about them for this essay, we will use this common view. These discussions of the external systems view, are just as they were taught to you in high school physics, astronomy, and math subjects. These discussions include examples taken from those who presented these ideas that became the physics, math, and astronomy of our universe. These discussions on the internal systems view, are just as they are taught in many different belief systems worldwide. These discussions include examples from those who could best communicate inner experiences. One of the primary similarities of both views of the universe is how the internal systems view the solar system as one whole life coming into balance, and how the external systems view the subatomic world of the very small coming into balance. “The universe is not about masses of energy moving around and interacting with each other. The interaction is the energy. Not in the sense that collections of mass need to smash into each other to be an interaction, but the interactions by themselves make up the mass.” Physics, geometry, and math have correlated enough experience and data to continue to study and support their position. Prayer and awakening have correlated enough experiences through similar visions, beliefs, and understanding to continue worship, meditation, prayer, and ritual belief. Each one having equally validity. The external systems see a view of interaction on the subatomic level. They see a system that can only be verified by interaction. Without this interaction, nothing can be measured or validated. The internal systems view the universe at large in this way. Without us to interact with the world, there is no universe (or anything for that matter). What both these two views have in common is interaction. “Both spiritual experience and the findings of science conclude that. without interaction, nothing can be correlated, verified, or even possibly exist.” The external systems and the physical world of interaction We could not see anything without the interaction of light with our eyes. With no light to interact with, we cannot see. We could not touch anything without the interaction of our senses and an object to feel. Sight, taste, smell, sound (hearing), and touch only occur because of interaction. As you were taught in school, the moon has no visible light of its own. What we see of the moon is its interaction between the sun’s light reflecting off the moon’s surface and our eyes. It takes three interactions to see the moon. If we didn’t have senses, we could not comprehend anything physical. Without the air’s interaction with our bodies, we would not know of the wind. Even feeling the temperature on your skin, is an interaction with the air and your senses. Our senses are limited to only a small section of physical events. Other creatures can experience sensory events out of our range. For example, a dog whistle can emit a sound that dogs can hear but humans can’t. Do you notice that you don’t see sunbeams or rainbows very often? That is because the moisture in the air has to interact with the sunlight for us to see it. As the sunlight hits the moisture, it lights them up, and we can see them. The sunlight is consistently hitting our clouds and the moisture in the air. Still, we can only see it when the interaction of the light, moisture, and our eyes are in the right place to interact with it. “To observe something in any way is to participate with it.” The internal systems and the heart of interaction. The world of internal systems is one of the experiences outside of the physical world. These experiences happen away from the brain in a world where all things function together in one living whole that has many names, but we will call it heart and soul. During meditation or a spiritual experience, this view of a world of interaction comes from the heart. It is more than a feeling or a premonition. It is a connection, a participation. Connection with the universe (or God or Gods) moves the heart to passion or fullness. Although each person has a different relationship with God or the universe and may see the world slightly different, there are enough similar experiences that they can be correlated into belief systems and powerful understandings. This inner world of interaction always requires a participant. This world of feelings, connections, and belief can only be experienced. There can be no computer or instrument that can simulate or record a spiritual event. “To be moved by the spirit world, the universe, enlightenment, or gain experience in any way is to connect with it.” The internal system’s interaction with the universe feels instantaneous, but has taken since the beginning to unfold into the present. The internal system has no time. Therefore, time moving forward or backward has no relevance. The external system’s interaction is a time-based process. However, it can appear instantaneous. The external systems can view interactions of subatomic particles moving both forward and backward in time. At this level of observation, time is of little relevance. The external system’s interaction is based on area, speed, space, spin, force, and heat (to name just a few from volumes of tests and theory). It is based on events, single points of movement or groups, statistics, and data collection. This data can be collected and interpreted in a linear fashion, which is how our modern brain wants to calculate and visualize the events. In this way, we can better understand events if we can see them as start, operation, and end of an event. An event starts somewhere in time or space and will end somewhere in time or space. “One of the most important tools of the external system is the communication of data. This system can also be taught.” Because the external systems reference is based on time and distance, we see the unfolding of events as if they occur one at a time. The slower the object, the more information we can assess from it. The slower the object, the more pictures our eyes and our measuring devices can take to process the event. Because we look at events “overtime”, our interpretation of them is that they, the events, start, function, and end in steps. However, this is based on the accuracy of our perception. A single firework is an event that occurs at once, but we can perceive it as two events. The light of the firework reaches us before the sound. From the right vantage point far enough away, you see the explosion before you hear it. (Light travels at 186 thousand miles per second and sound travels around 720 miles per hour.) Although the event takes place at once, we see and hear them at different times. If we were unfamiliar with fireworks altogether, we could easily perceive the sound and visual explosions as two separate events. Our eyes and calculating minds take “time” to process information into a usable fashion. The computer still takes “time” to process data and again see a delayed picture of an event. Using time as a reference, light can still take millions and millions of years to reach us from other stars. The speed of light is the fastest calculated operation (of a macroscopic physical property) we have found in the universe. Scientists have found rays that move faster than the speed of light. The linear operation of our thought process is always behind the actual event. As we watch anything happen, it is just shortly behind the event. For example: As you look at something, the light that reflects off the object that you are looking at takes time to reach your eyes. First, the light must hit the object and then bounce to your eyes. Even though the delay is very short for objects close to us, there is still a delay. “Whenever we look into our beautiful heavens we are always looking into the past.” For objects far from us, the delay becomes quite noticeable. For example: Light from the sun takes 8mins to reach the Earth. This means that if an event happens on the sun, we won't see it occur until 8mins after it happened. The light we live in is already 8mins old. The light from the sun takes 43mins to reach Jupiter and 7hrs to reach Pluto. If we are to see an event on Pluto (in its original light from the sun), it will take the 7hrs for light to go from the sun to Pluto, plus the time it takes for that light to bounce back to our eyes. When we look at distant galaxies, it could take millions of years for their light to reach us. In this case, what we see is light that is millions of years old. These galaxies have changed, some dramatically, long before that light reaches us. We see them millions of years ago. “In both views, that as a physics and an enlightened individual, ‘time’ does not have a steady forward movement... only the interactions calculated among themselves correlate any meaning of time at all.” “Both systems have a view of the universe that grows and shrinks as it needs, to fit its inhabitants or better yet, interactions.” https://www.babyteethrupian.com/flow daily 0.75 2021-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f342658ef8bd52feccd7f3e/d94bf827-3a4d-4a88-ba17-d39cec5800d7/moon_myst2.jpg Flow - In the Flow The Simplest Path The universe follows the simplest path with all things. It might be hard to imagine water pouring down a stream, bouncing here and there, is taking the most straightforward route. But, if we look at each drop of water, it is falling using the simplest path it can at each change in its direction. Planets, stars, and movements in any dimension that we look at follow “the path of least resistance”. In trying to connect our life into the flow of the universe, we can also try to find a path that holds the least resistance. Everyone will have experiences that are up and down. Moments of weakness and moments of power fluctuate from day to day. Since energy and matter always follow this simple path, we can use this as a direction for our lives. The simplest answers are always the easiest to comprehend. The most straightforward words leave the least amount of doubt. You may have to swim upstream against the water, from time to time, and it may be unavoidable. Still, with the right map, you may find alternatives that provide more natural directions to your goals. You may have to climb, to the top of a hill, to see the simplest path in front of you. Our minds, egos and souls can move in natural directions. A rhythm or pattern that is consistent with the action of the universe. The universe provides for others at all times. It works for the benefit of the whole. Its rhythm is the continuation of the Earth and life. Its patterns offer the same view. There is a logical progression for all things to work at once and work together. If they work in this similar way, all things benefit. From any place in our lives, we can change the direction of our minds and egos. Each path can lead to another, that changes our lives. Interference in this “simplest path” alters time and matter. The human mind and actions are examples of how time and matter can be altered. Positive and negative thoughts play a big part in this unfolding of these events. Everything in the universe, from the smallest particle to the most massive star, can alter space, time, and matter. However, this process of building time and space requires alteration and change together to operate correctly. Without the constant input and change from everything in this course of time, the universe would not feel its growth or the beauty of its inhabitants. We could say it was similar to a mother feeling the kick of the baby inside her. The universe needs us, as much as we need it. Creation requires input and change. This input and change works in many dimensions; one of them we can call the spirit or even the spirit of change. The Warrior of time and space understands the concepts of power and peace. He uses the path of least resistance together with his will, so that he can find his true nature. Making a change of mind and body brings the gift of direction. The person and the direction become one. The paths of people and the heavens swirl within Tao. Paths are created by all objects in motion or those that appear to be still. Since all galaxies, stars and planets are in motion, the objects at rest on the planets are still moving through the universe. Some paths are visible, or become apparent, like a man walking along a trail. Some paths are found by smell, like a dog or an insect, finding the path of others, or itself. Some paths become apparent only when they interact with others. Paths and patterns become logical when we can calculate and predict them. The currently illogical pathways created by interactions of sub-atomic particles are still being deciphered. A path that repeats creates a pattern. If one man walks along a trail more than once, he creates a pattern. If two men walk along the same trail, even at different times, it creates a pattern. A planet that rotates around a star creates a path and a pattern at the same time. Each time a planet moves, it moves through a new location in space, creating a new path. It is part of a pattern, but it is making an original path at the same time. The pattern may appear complete and consistent as it rotates a star, but the star is also moving, putting them each in a new position in space every second. Sometimes we can only see the pattern, and sometimes we can only see the path. If an object is far enough away from a star, it might appear that the object is not part of a pattern. It might take so long to see the planet make one revolution of the star that it would be impossible to calculate the rotation. A path (or pattern) can be created by things that don't appear to be solid. Sound and its vibration generate a pattern that can't be seen, only heard. Man can't hear a dog whistle. A radio wave can't be seen, but creates a path and a pattern on its journey. Electricity can follow a cord but creates a pattern around the cable on its path. Light cannot be seen at frequencies higher or lower than our eyes or instruments can detect. A person creates paths and patterns that interact with others. Thinking, sitting, standing, walking, talking, and dreaming all create different paths and patterns. Without trying, your patterns will interact with others. When you read a book, the story becomes a part of you. Because of reading the book, you may make other choices in life based on its influence. Even after reading a novel, you will use it as a reference of experience, whether real or imaginary. Before books or papers, you were influenced by the senses and dreams. Reading gives you instant experience, and your mind retains this as if it were real. Sometimes it’s hard for your brain to determine proper judgment by confusing issues and input. Your character, personality, habits, persuasions, and demeanor are affected by the input you receive, digest, accept and believe. Many people want to experience being someone else or in a place outside of ordinary existence. The media you ingest and books you read will lead to you having a swaying point of view without real stability. The media you ingest also moves into your dreams at night, adding confusion to a message your dreams and subconscious are trying to tell you. Over dramatized news of things that you can’t help from your distance away, fills your day with judgmental and competitive thoughts. At the same time, most consumer advertising reminds you of people you wish you could be or the things you want to possess. The Tao reminds you of things you already have, both physically and spiritually. It subtly reminds you of the natural flow of the universe. This points out our connection with the universe, people, and the circumstances of life. It helps reduce judgments and competition, thus bringing together what you have to offer in the real world. It tries to stimulate the mind with peaceful imagery and creative solutions. Tao has no predefined political or religious motives. Therefore it enhances your views and strengthens your own beliefs. The Tao is a series of short stories, verses, or poems that help simplify the understanding of a universal flow of harmonious example.
