Butterfly Effect

AI Generated Free Photo. 

The ancient instructions include a very important aspect that is essential to our reunion with the powers and gifts that the Devine source imparted to all.  Mere knowledge of something does not necessarily grant the ability to exercise it.  Observation of the appropriate application of the knowledge is essential for mastering a process.  To this end the teachers focus our attention on the nature of existence from the depths of the micro level to the expanse of the macrocosm.

There is a modern term known as the “Butterfly Effect” that was first coined by Edward Lorenz.1  It refers to the idea that a butterfly's wings might create tiny changes in the atmosphere that may ultimately alter the path of a tornado or delay, accelerate or even prevent the occurrence of a tornado in another location.  In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state.2


One of the more horrific examples of a butterfly effect within recent times was the small change that occurred to a virus.  One tiny virus (the butterfly) created a “thunderstorm” of an effect on the human population around the world with its appearance as the AIDs virus.3  Its effect literally changed every aspect of humanity; our mortality, morality, behavior, laws, psychology, medicine, education, transportation, and more.

Even super-massive black holes, whose gravitational force propels the rotation of the galaxies and movement throughout the universe,4 are not exempt to this effect. They will ultimately circum to one of nature’s smallest “butterfly” couple, the virtual particle.  “The universe is apparently filled with particles and anti-particles dancing into and out of existence.”5  The Casimir effect is the most famous measurements supporting the existence of these particle pairs where parallel plates are literally drawn together due to the force differential of manifested virtual particles between the plates versus outside the plates.6  It was Stephen Hawkins’s theory of black body radiation which demonstrated how the energy of a black hole is reduced when the anti-particle of the virtual particle pair is drawn into it.  Over a large period of time the black hole will evaporate particle by particle due to this repeated absorption of anti-particles.7


Examples of the butterfly effect can also be seen in the interactions between people at a physiological level.  It has been demonstrated repeatedly that the most effective method to influence a person’s choices is by “planting the seed of an idea” within them and letting it manifest into actual changes within their lives.8  The direct approach however can and often does result in the person becoming more entrenched within their current belief system.  This is likely due to a perceived threat to their freedom of choice.

Man Manifests using Focused Intention with Desire

Image
AI Generated Free Photo from Vecteezy.  Saying someone is going to manifest something can conjure up images in the mind of magic being performed.  We see daily, however, that people manifest numerous events, feelings,  and even objects by simply focusing their intentions on a desired condition.  From there the subconscious begins endless calculations on what is necessary for obtaining the goal, with the least amount of personal effort possible (the law of conservation of energy). Clearly, no magic is required if our subconscious does it automatically but there is an implication that certain abilities and understandings are needed to be successful. AI generated Free Photo from Vecteezy The same is true for spirituality in regards to manifesting forces of connection, peace, faith, and a like.   It requires abilities and understanding of focusing intention but toward spiritual desires instead.  The challenge for most in gaining the appropriate understandi...

AI Generated Free Photo from Freepik In our modern age, it is more and more difficult to relate to the idea of having to “build”, “repair”, or “repurpose” something with our own hands.   For many people, we live in a disposable society and age.   We simply go out, “buy” what we want, and then dispose of it after it no longer provides us satisfaction. This concept of disposability has even been perpetuated into our societal views of appropriate treatment of human life.   To Corporations, people are simply replicable “cogs” of production.   To the Strong, the ruled are soulless “slaves” of labor.   To many Religious Radicles, people are ignorant children to be disciplined into dogma for conformity and control. We are Evolved  though! As part of wearing that title, we need to practice the precepts of building, repairing, and recycling.   We cannot be expected to produce a Master work of art without education, practice, and repetition.   “Handcrafting...

Prayer, the Other definition

Image
AI Generated Free Photo from Pixabay   “Let us take a moment in Prayer and Meditation.”    I have often heard at spiritual gatherings these words used.   It could be viewed that both words are used simply as an inclusive communication style to lead both traditional religious and Humanitarian based believers together in contemplation. AI Generated Free Photo I think today many people of western culture are having amazing experience with meditation and that it is beginning to be better understood.   Prayer however has always been left to the Religions to define and sometimes enforce.   In some commercialized religions saying a “prayer” has become synonyms to saying “Give Me”. There is one definition of the word Prayer I am beginning to appreciate and believe has more in common with meditation and other esoteric practices than I realize. Prayer / prer /: “ The act of self-analysis or self-appraisal. ” For me, this definition is an expression of...
