Love Gravity Mass Attraction Unity

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens" --Baha'u'llah

"The word tensegrity is an invention: it is a contraction of tensional integrity." --RBF This means that nothing touches anything else throughout the universe. Everything is held together by tension in critical proximity. "All structures, properly understood, from the solar system to the atom, are tensegrity structures." --RBF As the planets orbit the sun - the electrons of an atom orbit it's nucleolus; so a steel bar is not truly solid because, it is made up of millions of atoms and each atom has orbiting electrons.

Love is the binding force of the universe; that which holds everything together. Love is tensional integrity (tensegrity), which is also called gravity on the macrocosmic level and mass attraction on the microcosmic level. Synergetics, defines love as the scientific term for gravity/mass attraction.

Love as a tetrahedral system - four kinds of Love:

1-love that flows from God to man

2-love that flows from man to God

3-love of God towards the Self or Identity of God and

4-love of man for man

From this post and my two previous posts we are beginning to understand the interconnectedness of all things. We are also learning about the structure of the universe. These things as you will see - will be an aid in helping us to reach our goals of world unity and world peace. In my next post I will present several quotes on the subject of love, which should help us to better understand this vast subject. Please meditate on the above information, as this will help you to better understand yourself and the universe.

RBF - R. Buckminster Fuller - quotes from "Synergetics"

Human Being as a Tetrahedral System

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens." --Baha'u'llah

The purpose of looking at the tetrahedral systems of the universe is to educate our selves to the realities of life. With this knowledge, which is within all of us, we will be able to achieve success for mankind as a whole. We need to unlock the doors of our hearts and let the light in. We all have the ability to do this, however we cannot do it alone. We all need each other. Unity and love are the two most powerful forces in the universe, which we have at our disposal. All we need to do is remember this.

Man as a tetrahedral system: mental, emotional, physical, spiritual.

Man as a tetrahedral system and how it relates to the medicine wheel of life tetrahedral system: the person, family or clan, community, wider world. You can go back to my previous post of June 1, (Part 3) for an expanded view of these relationships. As we gain a fuller understanding of these relationships, then we will be able to guide ourselves and others to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

"The Person: Each human has the potential to develop capacities in four interrelated areas of life:

One: mental: related to the activities and potentialities of the mind; the thinking self

Two: emotional: related to the activities and potentialities of the heart; the feeling self

Three: physical: related to the activities and potentialities of the physical body, and

Four: spiritual: related to the activities and potentialities of the spirit self, and having to do (in development work) with the virtues and values that animate one's life as well as the capacity to visualize and actualise new potentialities within oneself or in relationships." --Michael and Judie Bopp - "Recreating the World"

Four-ness Part 2 Thought

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens." --Baha'u'llah

The tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four triangle faces, four vertexes, and six edges or sides. When two triangles come together as left and right helixes, they form a tetrahedron - (1+1=4). This makes the tetrahedron the basic and simplest structural system in the Universe.

Thought as a tetrahedral system: The four phases of thought:

1) Observation, 2) Consideration, 3) Understanding, 4) Articulation - Or:

1) Recall, 2) Reconsideration, 3) Understanding, 4) Articulation

One triangle equals one cycle and two cycles equals one tetrahedral system. The triangle has three relationship edges: Action, reaction, and resultant.

LEARN CYCLE:

Action: Metaphysical. To will (volition) or to desire

Reaction: Knowledge. To gain knowledge: prayer, meditation, study, and visualization.

Resultant: (-) not seen. Gain knowledge of how to

DO CYCLE:

Action: Physical. Consultation and planning

Reaction: The physical doing

Resultant: (+) seen. Completion and gaining the will to do more - returning to the beginning of the learn cycle.

The four major levels of human consciousness are: The alpha level when we are in a high-tend state of awareness or the meditative state, the beta level is our normal level of awareness, the delta level when are asleep, and the theta level when we are in a very deep trance.

In my next post we will discuss the tetrahedral system of the human being. Please have a look at my SCIENCE IN SOCIETY GUIDE. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful day! --Larry

The Four-ness of Our Universe

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens." --Baha'u'llah

As stated in my last post: The tetrahedron is the basic structural system of everything that exists in the physical and metaphysical universe. Everything that exists has a shape or a pattern, which is tetrahedral in nature. However, not everything has weight such as thought but it does have shape. If thought did not have a shape or a pattern, then our minds would not have the capacity to conceptualize systems.

The tetrahedron models the whole atom perfectly. The triangle (one half tetrahedron) models what atomic physicists call one-half spin. In science the triangle also models the three basic relationships between all things. These relationships are: action, reaction, and resultant, which are represented by the three edges or sides of the triangle. The four vertexes of the tetrahedron represent four events and the six edges (sides) represent the six relationships between the four events.

So our model will look like this: Left triangle - action = proton, reaction = electron, resultant = anti-neutrino -- Right triangle - action = neutron, reaction = positron, resultant = neutrino. Also, when we use the tetrahedron as a model of the atom, then we will clearly see the characteristics of chemical bonding. "The single-bonded (vertex to vertex) tetrahedron system is like an engineering pin joint: it can move in any direction. It characterizes the behavior of gasses. The double-bonded (edge to edge) tetrahedron system is like an engineering hinge joint: It can rotate about an axis. It characterizes the behavior of liquids. The triple bonded (face to face) tetrahedron system is like an engineering fixed joint. It demonstrates the behavior of crystalline substances. The quadri-bond and mid-edge coordinate tetrahedron systems demonstrate the super strength of substances such as diamond and the metals." --R. Buckminster Fuller - "Synergetics "

In my next post we will discuss the tetrahedral system of thought, and the tetrahedral system of the human being. Please have a look at my SCIENCE IN SOCIETY GUIDE. Thank for your time and have a wonderful day! --Larry

One Plus One Equals Four

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens." --Baha'u'llah

In my last post I indicated that one of the requirements for building a sustainable community is that we must change the way in which we view the world. If the way in which we perceive reality is distorted, then we will have a very difficult time in making our communities sustainable.

One plus one equals four, defines the basic structures of both the physical and metaphysical universe.

One triangle plus one triangle will come together to form a tetrahedron, which has four triangular faces. When you define the triangles as open ended, helixes - one being left oriented and one being right oriented - then you will have no trouble in visualizing this. Another way of demonstrating this is by: drawing one triangle - then draw another triangle inside the first triangle by connecting the mid points of the edges of the first triangle. You have drawn only two triangles, but you now have four. You can also cut out the large triangle and fold the outer three to the apex and you will have a tetrahedron.

The tetrahedron is the basic structural system of everything that exists in the physical and metaphysical universe. The tetrahedron defines a system by separating everything outside the system form everything inside the system. The tetrahedron is at the heart of everything that exists. If you know and understand the properties of the tetrahedron, then you will have no problems in understanding how all things in the universe are structured. More details on this theme will follow in future postings to this blog.

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

In previous articles on this blog, I talked about having a clear vision and how to view the world in a detached manner. When we are rebuilding or restructuring our communities to be sustainable, then we must be non-judgemental in our thinking, in order to bring about the required changes to build a truly sustainable community.

We must strive to become self-sufficient and self-reliant. This will make it necessary for us to change the way in which we view the world. We also need to break away from our social conditioning. Then we will be able to change the way in which we live our lives.

There are many technological alternatives available to help us become more self-sufficient. Many of these alternatives are "tried and true", and have been in use for years in various places around the world. Information on these alternatives has been for the most part ignored by our controlled media. The internet has made this information available for all to see. However, the biggest obstacle to implementing these alternatives seems to be the way in which we have been conditioned to think.

The transformation processes begin with the individual then spreads to the family, then to the community, then to the world.

"And it is us, acting together in unity of purpose, and in a harmonization of our methods with our values, that will ultimately be able to bring about the sorely needed transformation of the fundamental life-systems upon which our families and communities must depend for survival." --Michael and Judie Bopp - "Recreating the World"

Beneficial Effects of Meditation

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

Scientific studies have proven the beneficial effects of prayer and meditation on human beings. Meditation turns off the internal dialog, which is always taking place inside our heads. When the internal dialog is off it will have a calming effect on our body as well as on our mind.

When we are in a relaxed state of mind then our body becomes relaxed causing our blood pressure to come down and our levels of stress to decrease. And when we are in a relaxed state our immune system will function better. Our bodies will be more able to fight off diseases, and our feelings of well being will increase.

When we are in a meditative state our attention span, learning ability, and creativity will improve. We will be able to perceive things more clearly.

Being at the center of the medicine wheel will provide us with a clear vision. If a group of people want to build a sustainable community, then the community members need a clear vision. There is also a need for all community members to see things synergistically, because the parts never predict the whole. We must also remain in a detached state of mind or we will never be able to build a sustainable community or achieve personal happiness.

Sixteen Principles for Recreating the World:

(another set of two)

Move to the positive. Solving critical problems in our lives and communities is best approached by visualizing and moving into the positive alternative that we wish to create, and by building on the strengths we already have, rather than on giving away our energy fighting the negative.

Be the change you want to see. The most powerful strategies for change always involve positive role modeling and the creation of living examples of the solutions we are proposing. By walking the path we make the path visible.

Detachment

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens" --Baha'u'llah

To have a clear vision of where we want to go and how to get there in regards to building a sustainable community - all participants must strive to be in a detached frame of mind when they are involved in the decision making process.

Detachment also means to let go of our emotions, our preconceived ideas, and be non judgemental.

"To let go of something (like knowledge or love or hate) is not to throw it away. It is to step outside its shadow so that things may be seen in a different light.

It is difficult, but exceedingly important to learn how to stand apart from the things we believe to be true, or from our fears, our anger, our hate, or even from our love fore someone. All of these things can control us and prevent us from thinking clearly.

Fear, anger, jealousy, and hate can completely obscure a person's intelligence. Wise teachers say to avoid these as you would a poisonous snake. Love too can prevent a person from seeing clearly if it is not balanced by reason." --"The Sacred Tree", Four Worlds International Institute.

Unity and Detachment

"The Earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

Once you have reached the centre of your being, then you will have arrived at the collective centre. Not only will you realize the oneness of mankind; you will also come to fully realize the interrelatedness of all things. This awareness you will feel with your whole being; you will know it with all your heart.

If a group of people desire to build a truly sustainable community, they must have these realizations within themselves. The only way that it is possible for an individual or group to achieve these realizations is through prayer and meditation.

Being aware of the interrelatedness of all things, means that you will experience a state of detachment. When you are able to look at a situation from a detached point of view, you will have a clear vision and will be able to take the appropriate actions to achieve any goal.

The realization of the oneness of mankind will bring unity to the group and to the community. Everyone will be working for the good of the whole. You can only help yourself by helping others.

Energy of the Heart

"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

Celebrating Spiritual Freedom by Sharon Marquart

Spiritual freedom is the energy of the heart. No matter where you live, the circumstances of your life or if you practice a religion or not, you have the freedom to tap into the energy of your heart. The energy of the heart is the Spirit that gives you life. Each one of us, all humans on this planet, can tap into the energy of their heart. As each individual taps into their heart's energy and allows this energy to guide their thoughts, words, and deeds, together we will evolve into One Heart and One Spirit. Learning and experiencing heart energy is vital to the evolution of our human race and the healing of the planet. Celebrating spiritual freedom is the first step.

The beliefs of a religion can appeal to our intellect and the spirit of the religion can appeal to our heart. Religion is what gives shape and form to a particular belief system. Religion provides Holy Books, teachings, rituals, and guidelines for followers to use. Following a religion can give a sense of security by having a system of beliefs while providing connection to a community. For some, it is a necessity to belong to a religion - having beliefs gives structure to their lives. And, there is a Spirit at the heart of every religion that frequently is forgotten and lost in the practice of the religion. You can be a member of a religious community and tap into the true Spirit of that religion, thus celebrating Spiritual freedom.

Some find it challenging to feel the spiritual essence of their religion so they abandon their religion in order to experience their heart energy. Those who say they are "Spiritual, not religious" typically are saying they believe in the Spirit of life without adhering to the structure of a religious belief. Spirituality has become a "buzz" word to mean that you're not religious. With the concept One Heart and One Spirit, it makes no difference whether you follow a specific religion. Remember, Oneness is one, without division. With or without a religion, you can tap into the energy of your heart. Bringing the head and the heart together in Oneness is dynamic. Once this is achieved, you can join the collective movement of conscious living.

Heart energy is the same for everyone. Heart energy is loving, kind and compassionate. Every one of us has a desire to love and to be loved. When your heart energy leads you, you are less judgmental about life's circumstances and others' actions. Heart energy gives you inner wisdom to guide your actions. When you have a sense of security from within, you see more similarities than differences, and connections with others are made heart to heart.

Celebrating Spiritual Freedom is important for every one of us. Once we master this ability, where we place our focus expands. If each person who reads this article will take a moment to celebrate spiritual freedom by tapping into his or her heart energy, the global consciousness of One Heart, One Spirit will expand. And that is a freedom to celebrate!

Celebrating Spiritual Freedom Exercise

Sit comfortable. Allow your breath to find it's own pace. As your breath slows, your thoughts will slow. Place your awareness at the center of your chest, closest to your heart energy. With each exhale, feel the release of tension and the awareness of your heart energy grow stronger. In each inhale feel the energy of your heart moving. Perhaps you actually see it as a swirling circle or spiral of energy. Where you place your attention expands. See the expansion of your heart energy growing larger than your heart space and extending out into your life. As you sit in this energy, bring to your mind the sense of spiritual freedom. Sit it the celebration of this feeling for a few moments. If there is a situation in your life that is restricted or confined, bless it with the energy of your heart. You are free to feel and apply this energy to whatever may be going on in your life. Take a few moments to sit in the presence of your heart energy. Celebrate the freedom it offers you.

Take time daily to practice this spiritual freedom exercise. It takes but a few minutes- and makes such a positive shift in how you view your day.

Truth and Unity

"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

As prayer and meditation are the starting points for the spiritual transformation of the individual - they are also the starting points for the "recreation" of our communities.

"If five people meet together to seek for truth, they must begin by cutting themselves free from all their own special conditions and renouncing all preconceived ideas. In order to find truth we must give up our prejudices, our own small trivial notions; an open receptive mind is essential." --Abdu'l-Baha

The only way that we can achieve the conditions in the above quote is by using prayer and meditation. When people consult about something with open and receptive minds, then the path leading to truth will become crystal clear.

"If our chalice is full of self, there is no room in it for the water of life. The fact that we imagine ourselves to be right and everybody else wrong is the greatest of all obstacles in the path towards unity, and unity is necessary if we would reach truth, for truth is one." --Abdu'l-Baha.

Sustainable Community Energy

"The earth is but one Country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

In my last post the subject of using technological alternatives were briefly discussed. These alternatives will not only create sustainable communities, but will also protect the environment. Using these alternatives will create employment and improve everyones quality of life.

For example in my home community of Fort Simpson, which is located in the Northwest Territories of Canada, would be an ideal location in which to implement the use of geothermal power. Fort Simpson is located in the best area in all of North America for using geothermal power. Geothermal power is used extensively in northern British Columbia and Manitoba, making it a well established and proven source of energy.

In Fort Simpson we use fuel oil for heating and generating electrical power. Using oil is the most expensive way to heat buildings and produce electricity. For example the cost of using oil for heating and electricity in Fort Simpson is about ten million dollars a year. Using geothermal power would reduce this oil bill to zero. The use of geothermal power would reduce the pollution caused by using oil by ninety percent.

So why are we not using geothermal power in Fort Simpson? Please have a look at my Spiritual Transformation STORE by clicking on the Amazon tab at the top of the page on the right side (then scroll down).
