all the universe is made of energy waves

In 1690 Christiaan Huygens theorized that light is a wave.

Then in 1804 Thomas Young conducted the first double-slit experiment demonstrating convincingly that light, in fact, is a wave. All energy represented on the electromagnetic spectrum travels as waves.

But wait! It was then determined that matter is not solid but merely a form of energy. If this is true, then matter, as well, might be construed as a wave. This sounded too radical for many, but in 1923 French physics student Louis de Broglie posited that the electron particle, which is viewed as matter, can also be a wave, a “matter wave.” Einstein was consulted. What did he think about this? He said he didn’t know but saw no reason why it couldn't be so. And, indeed, a few years later it was confirmed, matter is also a “wave.”

Editor’s note: Light is a wave - but at times it also manifests as a particle. Planck (1900) and Einstein (1905) put forward this concept. Further, as is now known, the atom can oscillate between two states, wave and actuality; even more, as we learned from Dirac (1928), there is a continual popping in and out of (what we call) existence for particles. However, concerning our purposes here, we’ll focus on the fact that everything in the universe is waves of energy.

can we infer the nature of consciousness by what we see in the universe

Dr. Federico Faggin invented the first computer microprocessor in 1971. Today he’s a leader in the new science of consciousness.

I’ve read his books and have listened to 30 hours of interviews on youtube, and it’s my opinion that he knows more about the subject of consciousness than pretty much anyone in the world.

In addition to being a top computer scientist, about 30 years ago he suddenly found himself in receipt of a mega-mystical experience. This dazzling event caused him to put away common concepts that matter is fundamental but with Universal Consciousness running the show.

You can find some of his key insights on the "quantum page" and also the “inferential life” page, but, for the moment, what I’d like to center on is the principle, which Dr. Faggin would affirm, that, what we see in the physical universe can provide hints concerning how the invisible realms are constructed.

so, what is a wave anyway

from https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/waves/Lesson-1/What-is-a-Wave

... waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position.

The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location.

However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.

Editor’s note: If we hit a softball with a bat, the ball goes flying. The energy of the swinging bat is transferred to the ball. In other words, the energy causes matter to move forward. However, in the typical wave dynamic, matter is not moved forward like the ball, but energy itself is transferred. This transfer of energy is called a “disturbance” as energy moves through a medium. For example, with a water wave, the medium is water, but the water is not moving forward, only a "disturbance" in the form of waves as transfer of energy.

other kinds of waves

Waves are said to be an energy transport phenomenon. As a disturbance moves through a medium from one particle to its adjacent particle, energy is being transported from one end of the medium to the other…

Waves are seen to move through an ocean or lake; yet the water always returns to its rest position. Energy is transported through the medium, yet the water molecules are not transported. Proof of this is the fact that there is still water in the middle of the ocean. The water has not moved from the middle of the ocean to the shore.

If we were to observe a duck at rest on the water, it would merely bob up-and-down as the disturbance moves through the water. The duck always returns to its original position. The duck is not transported to the shore because the water on which it rests is not transported to the shore. In a water wave, energy is transported without the transport of water.

The same thing can be said about a stadium wave. In a stadium wave, the fans do not get out of their seats and walk around the stadium... In a stadium wave, each fan rises up and returns to the original seat. The disturbance moves through the stadium, yet the fans are not transported. Waves involve the transport of energy without the transport of matter.
 

the vocabulary of waves

from https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/earth/oceanography/rogue-wave2.htm

A wave has several characteristics that can be used to define it.

The crest is the highest portion of the wave.

The trough is the lowest portion of the wave.

The distance from the trough to the crest represents a wave's height.

The distance between crests represents a wave's length.

The amount of time that passes between one crest and the next is the wave period or wave speed.

The amount of kinetic and potential energy carried by the wave is known as wave energy

‘reinforcement’ or ‘constructive interference’ can cause large waves

from https://www.answers.com/earth-science/What_is_reinforcement_of_waves

When waves of the same frequency are in phase they reinforce each other when their peaks and valleys occur at the same point. They add up.

what is a 'rogue wave'

from https://www.whoi.edu/know-your-ocean/did-you-know/what-is-a-rogue-wave/

But what, exactly, is a rogue wave? When scientists talk about wave height, they tend to focus on the tallest one-third of the waves in an area... For a scientist to call a wave rogue it has to be at least twice as high as the significant wave height in the area. The most extreme rogue wave recorded was three times taller.

What causes some waves to grow higher than others? …

Waves move at different speeds, depending on their wavelength, their period, the water depth, and any underlying water motion.

Faster-moving waves can catch up to slower ones; if the peaks and troughs align, they can reinforce each other...

What causes a rogue wave?

But not all waves add up in this way. Some exchange energy when they interact. This causes the wave heights to multiply, rather than simply add together. It’s this kind of interaction that creates rogue waves.

from https://interestingengineering.com/science/rogue-waves 

They are also characterized by their unpredictability... their reputation for "sneaking" up on unsuspecting vessels.

We don't know everything about how a rogue wave forms, but there are some processes known to produce a rogue wave.

One such process is constructive interference. Waves move at different speeds and have different amplitudes, and sometimes one wave can overtake another. When these waves pass through one another, their crests, troughs, and lengths can combine to reinforce each other.

If you think of a wave's crest as a 1 and its trough as a -1, adding two crests together can produce a 2, while two troughs combine to form a -2. This process is also cumulative, so if several waves combine in such a way, they can quickly grow to enormous heights.

what is a quantum 'wave function'

from https://arstechnica.com/science/2011/11/the-insanely-weird-quantum-wave-function-might-be-real-after-all/

Quantum mechanics has a concept called a "wave function." It's incredibly important because it holds all the measurable information about a particle (or group of particles) within it. In practice, the wave function describes a set of probabilities that change in time. When we make a measurement, we are really poking at the wave function, causing these probabilities to collapse and take on a definite value. The value that the wave function predicts is determined by the relative probabilities of all the possible measurement results.

from http://www.quantumphysicslady.org/glossary/wave-function/

A wave function, in quantum mechanics, is an equation. It describes the behavior of quantum particles, usually electrons. Here “function” is used in the sense of an algebraic function, that is, a certain type of equation. A function is like a little machine that if you feed in a certain number, the machine will “massage” it in a specified way and output a certain number.

What is a mathematical function

A function is a kind of equation. It’s a little mathematical machine that converts certain numbers to other numbers by following a rule.

It’s a wave function because it takes the form of equations that usually describe waves. Physicists can look at it and say, “I know what this equation is describing; it’s describing a wave.”

The symbol for the wave function in quantum mechanics is Ψ, the ancient Greek letter that is written “psi” and pronounced “sigh.”

The Quantum Wave Function and Schrodinger’s Equation

The wave function is an equation or a set of equations derived from Schrodinger’s Equation. Schrodinger’s Equation does not calculate the behavior of quantum particles directly. First it must be used to generate a wave function(s). It’s the wave function that actually describes the behavior of quantum particles.

Editor’s note: I’ve prepared a special page, part of the Quantum Mechanics report, which offers lengthy discussion concerning the definition of “wave function.”

is the 'wave function' something real, imaginary, or maybe an invisible wave

Somewhere in the lectures of physicist Tom Campbell, he states, to the effect, the wave function is not something moving up and down, we're not going to find anything 'waving'.

As we learn from the above definitions, the wave function is a set of mathematical equations which speak to probabilities concerning the movement of particles, usually electrons.

We can't see a philosophical-mathematical concept. This being the case, why do physicists call it a 'wave'? From the above discussion we find:

It’s a wave function because it takes the form of equations that usually describe waves. Physicists can look at it and say, “I know what this equation is describing; it’s describing a wave.”

In other words, when these equations were first being invented (or discovered?), it was noticed that the math was very similar to the kind used when dealing with material waves. And when they accepted this similarity, then, in their experiments -- as I understand the situation from what I've learned from quantum physicists -- they got answers which were "right," meaning, the answers solved real problems in the real world.

What does all this mean? We're not absolutely certain because we can't see a quantum wave function, but what is known is that the math fits very well with all known waves of the world.

ok, fine, but - if it looks like a wave, walks like a wave, quacks like wave, couldn't this mean that, maybe, in some hidden dimension of reality somewhere, it actually is a wave

This is a very important question, and there are scientists today who argue that, yes, it's not just a theoretical math construct but, in some form or fashion, represents actual reality, but maybe not in our spacetime.

I believe these scientists have to be correct. Read the entire article.

Kairissi. As Carole King sang, I feel the earth move under my feet. You know, for years we’ve used the phrase “soul energies” but now it seems we might actually get to a crisper definition.

Elenchus. I think the above information is a big step toward understanding the role of consciousness in Twin love.

K. But, Elenchus, I’m a little surprised. The author says you know something about this – but you never talked to me about it.

E. I wasn’t trying to hide anything. It’s just that, it’s only been very recently that I’ve come to a better understanding of what happened in my head, a long time ago.

K. Are you able to explain?

E. Well… it’s about you… when we weren’t together…

K. (silence)

E. I’d like to tell you a story. At the beginning it’ll sound like things I’ve said before, but it’s different. I recently saw something new.

K. Something new about love?

E. About how it works.

K. And it has something to do with waves?

E. I don’t want this to be a physics lesson. Above, the author presented technical information about waves, and I guess I’ll have to reference that a little, but mainly I want to talk about what happened to me when I was immersed in our “soul energies.”

K. Alright.

E. I’m not sure where to begin. What happened to us long ago was not just a one-time event. Its effects ripple down through the years and cast an influence upon me today.

K. "Rippling" is a wave action, and it seems you feel this is the right terminology.

E. But there’s another sense in which that big event for us was not just one-time. Back then, there were a whole series of incidents, our early encounters – how can I describe this? Each encounter was like a gathering storm, accumulating, a growing energy, getting more and more forceful, with each successive interaction.

K. Were we aware of this growing energy at the time?

E. I doubt it. For one thing, some of these encounters were separated by years, or even many years.

K. Long interim periods of quietude but then one more interaction, with the waves growing larger and larger each time?

E. I think so.

K. That's really odd, isn't it. So there was an energy about us that was growing and growing, but there'd be years of seemingly "calm seas and blue skies," but suddenly the storm would return, pick up where it'd left off, and then would add to the previous force of the "waves." How did the energy know where to begin again?

E. I don't think it was like that. I think the "calm seas and blue skies" were an illusion, a form of repression, with the "gathering storm" always below the surface of personality. It never really went away.

K. mmm... This is getting interesting now. What does it all mean?

E. It's taken me a long time to begin to understand anything about this.

K. You know, buddy, I'll tell you what this reminds me of. Way back in "Prometheus" we talked about the "ludicrous proposition" -- we said that we had no romantic history, didn't go to the prom together, never had one date or one kiss, never even held hands -- you didn't even like me, and I was often snarky to you --and yet we had this thing between us.

E. Not one date or one kiss, just a growing tidal-wave of romantic energy.

K. Oh, that little thing.

E. I remember some of the common wisdom back then about going to the prom, some of the "community mothers" would say, "you should go to the prom, just ask somebody, don't worry about it, just go and have fun, it's just one dance, you don't have to marry her just because you take a girl to the prom." And that was reasonable advice. I didn't take that advice, but it was reasonable.

K. (small smile)

E. However, it seems I've been distracted from my story, but before I continue I’d like to take a step back for a wider view. I was reading Dr. Faggin’s book…

E. And he shares that 30 years ago he had a major mystical experience, a spontaneous out-of-body event. Mind you, he didn’t believe in these things, was a materialist scientist, with no interest in spirituality. In his early years, he'd been a dutiful RCC youngster.

K. A good little boy.

E. But as he matured, he gave all that up.

K. We understand.

E. However, one day on the way home from work, while stopped at a red light, he glanced at the car to the right. As he did, suddenly, he found himself out of the body (OBE) with a perception of being one with the world. The best way he could describe it was that, normally he was a participant in the game of life, but now he was also an observer; that is, both subject and object. You'll want to read his account for yourself for more details. It should also be mentioned that he had another similar experience late one night.

K. There’s a great deal here, Elenchus, inviting comment, but one thing I notice is a similarity between his situation and yours. He was a materialist, believed in matter, had no time for “New Age” fairy tales. And you were not a romantic, were one of the very few who did not go, didn’t want to go, to the prom, didn’t even like me. And, for both of you, there was no interest in a mystical experience (ME) and probably even unaware of what the term means.

E. For both of us, the ME arose unbidden, unsought for.

K. Further, in your case, you were not just uninterested by hostile to the idea of exploring relationship with me. And yet this antipathy did not stop the transcendental event from unfolding.

E. You raise an important point concerning this unwillingness. Let’s see if we can make sense of it as we move forward.

K. Tell me why you mention Dr. Faggin just now.

E. It’s that wider view I spoke of. Faggin states that he’s learned much about the nature of Universal Consciousness by what happened to him. For example, during his OBE he saw himself as both participant and observer of reality. This experience, along with other research, led him to see that the primary characteristic of Universal Consciousness is Its desire to know itself.

K. In other words, we can learn something of what Consciousness is like simply by examining ourselves, as we are Its derivatives.

E. So many of the channeled afterlife reports say the same. Here’re a couple of my favorites:

Channeled testimony via the mediumship of W. Aber, presented in the book The Guiding Star: “The first thing is to make resolute search within your heart and make the great discovery of the aim and usefulness of your individual life. He who succeeds in this discovery, and holds firmly to it all his earth life, has made a success, whether he wears purple and fine linen, or homespun. You scan the heavens with telescopes, but far wiser is the man who becomes the astronomer of his own soul, [the inner cosmos]. You make analysis of the soil of the field, but more difficult, more desirable it is to make analysis of the soil of your own heart, and find what flowers may grow there best, and what noxious weeds must be guarded against. It is not what a man does that makes him great, but what he is. Action is merely thought dressed in visible garb. Being must ever precede doing. Below the surface which the world sees, are springs [see John, chapter 4] which feed the life. To keep these springs fresh and sweet, is the best object of endeavor. Study yourself carefully; and also study the seeming simple things of Nature, and you will learn that the secret of life is eternal Progress; and that the Earth life, which is of the utmost importance, is only the primary grade of life. Learn your first lessons well, that you may have a solid basis for your future unfoldment.”

Channeled information from medium Mrs. Elizabeth Sweet, The Future Life: January 19, 1856. A person on the other side, having lived an egocentric life on Earth, landed in a dark place, wherein he drifted and sought escape for many decades. Finally, in a more humble frame of mind, he called out for help. A Spirit Guide responded: “... thou hast not outlived all of Earth and its errors; yet thou wilt overcome them one by one, and daily thou wilt acknowledge that man's heart is a universe, wherein is contained all the mystery, all the beauty, and all the love of the divine Godhead, constantly unfolding a spark at a time; but never, never canst thou imagine the heights and the depths to which it shall reach in the unending cycles of eternal thought... Be not strangers to yourselves; listen to those intuitions which speak unmistakably to thy spiritual being."

K. These quotations are part of a much larger collection. I think these admonitions to find God and the mysteries of the universe by “going within” are just about the most wonderful items of wisdom on WG.

E. We would offer our readers a strongest encouragement to review all of these on the ”true self” page.

K. And so, Elenchus, what did you learn about love as you explored the "cosmos within"?

E. It was one of those times, not long ago, when I was just feeling so angry about what happened back then… all of those years that we lost… years we could have shared love together…

K. (silence)

E. And I was angry with you… This happened to me during a time of particular vulnerability. One of our relatives had just died, and this served as catalyst to the early memories… and I was becoming more and more angry… Part of me knew that the ego was “taking me over” but, in my despair of the moment, I almost didn’t care, I just wanted to blame you.

K. (silence)

E. The accusations were being hurled in a furious way… the prosecuting attorney in me was out for blood… and in the rage of that moment, my rational mind also knew that I myself had done the same things to you, the very same things, and in fact worse things… but the ego doesn’t care about fairness and reasoned approach, it just wants to be “right”…

K. (very softly) So, what happened next?

E. I began to mentally review – a rogue’s gallery of images in the mind – those early times when we interacted. I went over them, carefully… One of them always steams me if I’m not careful… you know the incident, I’d just come back from a long journey, had been gone for some years, was in the old village again but very briefly… and, as it happened, by chance, you were visiting home at the same time… and then, also by chance, someone near, without warning, put a phone receiver in my hands, assuming that I’d want to talk to you…

K. (very softly) I remember.

E. I did not want to talk to you, but the event was thrust upon me before I could object, and now you’re chatting happily with me…

K. It’s very strange how life can arrange a circumstance, sort of, out-of-the-blue.

E. Well, hearing your voice was bothersome enough for me, but it was your jaunty tone and spirit that really lit the fuse of anger… you had this playful, perky tenor, tried to make little jokes, acting as if we were old buddies – but, I well remembered, you wouldn’t even look at me all through high school, we were not buddies, and, oh boy, this really set me off, and now I was boiling - I wanted nothing to do with you. Even so, against my will, life had arranged for me to be accosted by you.

K. (sighing)

E. So, recently then, I’m mentally reviewing all this history, I was conjuring images of myself raging, very angry minutes, from a long time ago. However, now in real time, many decades after the fact, I rekindled the rage… rage upon rage… and, needless to say, this was not one of my most mature moments… the ego had overpowered me, and left me boiling in a kind of insanity.

K. (silence)

E. But then I began to recall “the rest of the story,” as one of your relatives liked to use the phrase. I continued mentally surveying that ancient phone incident, and I remember thinking during that long-ago event, as you were talking, “I’ve been gone for some years and, during all that time, I doubt I was ever really angry, not like this, but here I am, talking to a girl I grew up with, and in just a few seconds, I'm fit to be tied and gagged. What is going on with me?”

K. (softly) As you’ve said, I get to you, as no one else can.

E. (sighing) And so I’m continuing to mull over this ancient phone event. But then, I remembered something else… in the midst of that long-ago rage, some new influence was then creeping over me… what is going on here!… even though I’d been encouraging my anger with accusations against you, this new influence was causing me to feel extremely strange about you… now, all of sudden, even in spite of my anger, I'm feeling an intoxicating sense of “coming home,” an “utter familiarity,” "peace and rest to my soul," a perception of “you are just like me.”

K.I look forward to your further explanations, but - what do you really mean by "coming home"?

E. I was listening to the old Peter and Gordon love song "Five Hundred Miles," about being far "away from home." In my life, because of my studies and what I know, I haven't fit in with society. I've always been an outsider, with no warm welcome from any group.

K. All the self-serving views in the world are threatened by you.

Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944): "A very well-informed person is an object of terror."

E. And so, for a very long time, I'd said to myself, there's no place on this earth that feels like home, there's no room for me here, I don't have a home. But when I felt that "coming home" in your presence, it hit me so very hard, you have no idea, and I didn't know what to do. I'd never felt this way - only with you - it was a complete rest to my soul.

K. (softly) And you didn't even like me.

E. It seems that a more mature part of me had a different opinion.

K. Elenchus, it's very strange, isn't it - in the midst of these mystical perceptions, your anger was still churning.

E. This may have been the most anomalous experience of my life: great romantic anger and great romantic euphoria -- both at the same time - from two different parts of my being.

K. (sighing) Usually, John and Mary have the good sense to switch back and forth between love and hate, not merge them.

E. It can get confusing.

K. So this was very different.

E. Meanwhile, my present-day self, still a mad-hatter, continued to review this old image and memory, the positive and the negative aspects, the love and the hate. And now my recent anger was leading me to despair and melancholia, I was burning myself out, and so I mentally reached out to God, asking for some sort of help in dealing with these old memories. And shortly thereafter I noticed something. I left the old phone-call image and accessed other memories over the years, beginning from early childhood.

K. You and I have a very long history for two who “have no history”.

E. Ludicrously yours. But as I then mentally spanned the years, reviewing the major interactions, and the attendant feelings, and though I’d taken this “magical mystical tour” in my head many times, this time, I saw something new… With each significant encounter over the years, I mentally saw, could feel, that the energies were growing and growing, expanding and swelling. Near the end of the review, with durations of time separating the incidents, sometimes by years and even decades, I realized that, with each new encounter, the underlying energies "knew" exactly where they’d left off, and picked up the baton, in perfect stride, at just the right place. To restate, the energies grew and grew between us, and with each successive incident, the energies didn't start over from "level zero," but continued where the last one left off, even though there might have been a gap of many years!

K. You know, Elenchus, the world is filled with couples who believe they love each other, but there’s something really different about our story.

E. The realization that our interactions involved a mounting, building, crescendoing energy came to me shortly after reading Faggin’s book. And though I myself had often engaged in introspection concerning "us," I believe that his method of examining the self to understand Consciousness at-large made it easier for me to perceive the workings of true love.

K. What does this teach us about true love and consciousness, Elenchus?

E. It’s not totally clear to me yet, but let’s talk this out. In the “mystical experience” writing, we said that Universal Consciousness is like the Colorado River ever pressing against Hoover Dam.

The Hoover wall spans 726 vertical feet – more than a tenth of a mile high (for comparison, the Empire State Building is 1250 feet tall).

It holds at bay and commands the burgeoning, tumultuous Colorado River.

Imagine the tremendous water-pressure pushing against the wall, trying to break through.

What might all this signify? Any analogy quickly falls apart if extended too far, but this is what I see:

The Hoover wall is the dysfunctional ego, repressing humankind, blocking the "true self".

The Colorado River is the God-consciousness/soul-energies/true-self ever pressing forward to manifest in our lives.

K. This would mean that Universal Consciousness, in the form of true love, is trying to reveal itself to proto-Twins but, early on, they’re too immature to “get the memo.”

E. I think this is exactly right.

K. So, as we look at our early and subsequent interactions, we begin to discern an energy, growing and building, readying itself to burst into our surface-level consciousness.

E. More and more, there were cracks in Hoover Dam, and eventually something’s gotta give.

K. I think we felt "the pressure of the Colorado River" as early as age seven, that incident when we were being taken to school, and I shouted bloody-murder at you from the top of my little lungs.

E. I remember, and everybody else who was there does, as well.

K. And too, when we had the chicken pox at age nine, those two phone calls after the Flintstone program - you've said, amazingly, you never felt as good again, in your whole life, as when we laughed together on the phone when we were nine. Elenchus, that kind of over-the-top feeling can't happen by accident, and boy-meets-girl doesn't begin to explain it. For one thing, you didn't even know I was a girl yet. Something else, really big, was going on down below.

E. Things were being set in motion, even though I was still DOA.

K. And then, when we were thirteen, and I came to you… and told you things... that was really major for me. By that age, you did know something about girls, but you still didn't know that I was a girl.

E. I have memory of all these incidents, but when they’re all laid out in a row, I'm just flattened in astonishment at what happened to us.

K. But we're not done. There were many mini-incidents in the early years that could be mentioned. But the next somewhat-dramatic item was the phone call that we’ve already discussed. And then, 22 years later, you called me at the death of a relative… that was a big event for us, I mean, big.

E. Again, true to my ethos, I didn’t like you, I was still vexed and resentful, but this time, so unexpectedly – the "hidden pressure" had now grown to be so great that the Hoover Dam, all of a sudden, came crashing down, was swept away, and I was subjected - even against my will - to a full-blown mystical experience, and I was never the same again after this.

K. We need to stop saying that we have no history. That’s a gross distortion. We have more history than almost anyone.

E. It’s very clear to me that, over the years, Universal Consciousness (UC), like the Colorado River, was pressing against our spirits, readying itself to reveal itself, waiting for us to be capable of mindful and eyes-wide-open interaction.

K. I hadn’t really seen this before but, as we lay it all out, it’s pretty obvious. Can we say more about this?

E. I think we can, but, as we do, we enter a realm of studied opinion, not hard evidence.

K. I think all major theories begin in this preliminary way.

E. As Will Durant said, speculative philosophy, refined in the fires of debate and investigation, later becomes the established truth of science.

K. What is your best understanding right now?

E. Tesla helps us…

E. Many of the great scientists have said that UC, not matter, is the building block of reality, that everything derives from it. And Tesla, in the above quotation and in other statements, suggests, or hints at, that UC just might be the primary wave-form of the universe.

K. But UC is not a “thing” in our universe.

E. As they say, it’s not part of our spacetime. Presumably, it exists, in some sense, in some lofty non-material dimension.

K. And because we ourselves are linked at the core to UC, that’s where our “true selves” also reside. But let’s say more about UC as a wave.

E. If Tesla is right that everything is vibrating, meaning, everything is a form of vibrational wave, then maybe UC is some sort of energy wave, even, a primary or master wave; if so, it may very well express the general characteristics of all waves.

K. Because it would be the “original mould” of all other waves.

E. That recent night, when I finally snapped out of my anger, when I “saw” that the pressure of UC had grown and grown for us over the years, it occurred to me that UC might be a wave. I provisionally concluded this because, as I looked at our series of incidents, with the progressively building energy, I said to myself, “this seems just like a rogue wave, growing and growing.”

K. All of this is extremely interesting, Elenchus. Look at that science quote again on how rogue waves do not just add to but multiply each other:

What causes a rogue wave?

But not all waves add up in this way. Some exchange energy when they interact. This causes the wave heights to multiply, rather than simply add together. It’s this kind of interaction that creates rogue waves.

K. I think…what happened to us was so out-sized, so invasive to the ego, so over-the-top to the ordinary things of our lives, that it cannot be explained in terms of UC waves growing slowly, merely adding. I say this because there was a sudden exponential leap, an expansiveness of force, with the power of the UC wave, apparently, multiplied -- its new strength jettisoning us, ready or not, surging forward, into a higher level of romantic awareness.

what might it mean to say that UC is an energy wave

E. We must proceed very cautiously here in stating what we know, or, more likely, what we think we know.

K. It will be said that, how can we know anything of Universal Consciousness (UC) as it’s something invisible. But science deals with invisible forces all the time. Sir Oliver Lodge commented:

It may be said, you cannot be as sure as you are of sensory experience. I say I can. A physicist is never limited to direct sensory impressions; he has to deal with a multitude of conceptions and things for which he has no physical organ – the dynamical theory of heat, for instance, and of gases, the theories of electricity, of magnetism, of chemical affinity, of cohesion, aye, and his apprehension of the ether itself, lead him into regions where sight and hearing and touch are impotent as direct witnesses, where they are no longer efficient guides.

E. I see two main areas of definition for UC. Dr. Sheldrake speaks to the first:

K. There’s so much here, and we’ll want to avoid simply reprinting what’s already been offered on the “consciousness” and “quantum” pages.

E. But let’s emphasize a key point for our discussion, which is, one of the primary definitions of UC:

(1) UC is a "quantum field containing all manner of possibility", or, restated, "minds are containers of all possibility".

K. Now it’s also said that:

(2) the quantum “wave function” (QWF) encapsulates all possibility before a measurement is taken, which “collapses the wave function”, reifying one of the possibilities as part of the physical world.

K. Is there a difference between QWF and UC?

E. They’re very close, but there is a difference. UC is a container of all possibilities, while QWF is a mathematical construct which attempts to predict the likelihood or the probabilities of how those possibilities might manifest.

K. And so they are different.

E. Two different perspectives on the general concept of "all manner of possibility."

K. Elenchus, let’s try to steer this massive ship of information and point it toward Twin Soul love. No subject could possibly be larger than “all manner of possibility,” so tell us how we might pare this down to our favorite subject.

no 'traffic jams' but 'hidden blueprints'

E. Dr. Amit Goswami said that if there were no mechanism to limit the infinite possibilities, there’d be a gigantic existential “traffic jam” with every sort of random possibility trying to manifest in the outer world.

K. But, we don’t see “traffic jams” in the evolving cosmos; instead, there’s widespread regularity, a general harmony and predictability. Atoms and molecules unite and align according to specific patterns; cells seem to know just how to build complex physical bodies, whether it’s a bacterium, a cat, or a human - the end product, within general parameters, is extremely predictable. And stars coalesce "on script" from gaseous nebulae, and go on to assemble as galaxies, and then clusters of galaxies.

E. And while there are minor exceptions, overall, it’s very apparent that the universe constructs itself according to “hidden blueprints.” There is no haphazard “traffic jam” for the infinite possibilities of UC -- which means that 99%+ of the possibilities never see the light of day.

morphic fields as 'hidden blueprints'

K. It all unfolds with astonishing regularity; or, with “laws,” as science uses the term. The great ordered complexity of the universe could not have happened by chance, mathematicians inform us that this is absolutely not possible. There is some unseen guiding force in play.

E. You can’t have “all manner of quantum possibility” and then, as the final product, by randomness, arrive at regularities or “laws”.

K. And this paring down, a culling out, of 99%+ of the quantum possibilities occurs by way of “hidden blueprints” that are built into the system. These “hidden blueprints” are called “morphic fields” by Dr. Sheldrake.

E. There is a great deal of evidence for the existence of morphic fields, but we can’t address that large topic here. The reader is asked to review this subject on the “evolution” page.

K. And so, Elenchus, where does this leave us in terms of explaining Twin Soul love as part of UC?

What does it mean that two are destined to love eternally as Twin Souls?

E. Like everything else that, theoretically, might suffer a “traffic jam” of too many possibilities, true love, Twin Soul marriage, is guided by morphic fields serving as “hidden blueprints”. These pare down and limit the possibilities.

K. That’s very interesting, isn’t it. Just as atoms and molecules avoid confusion and find union in predictable ways, Twins are meant only for each other: as Dr. Campbell said, "one particular woman for one particular man." Can we offer more detail on this?

E. It seems that morphic fields are specialty quantum fields of possibility.

K. Dr. Sheldrake uses the phrase “structured randomness”! – isn’t that the coolest phrase?

E. It would need to be something like that. The essential aspect of “quantum-ness” is uncertainty.

K. Because there’re so many possibilities.

E. And yet, the inherent uncertainty is regulated and managed -- we would say, by an Intelligent Designer – by means of the “hidden blueprints.” And so the underlying uncertainty never goes away, but its domain is severely reduced as a “structured randomness.”

K. It’s quite beautiful, really. The awakening affections of two destined ones are herded or directed or encouraged by a morphic field, a hidden blueprint, just for them. Now, the substrata uncertainty never shuts down, and they can get themselves into trouble, and deny each other, if they work very hard to derail themselves, if they love to suffer, but their specific morphic field, also, never deactivates and, like a homing device, will always, eventually, bring their minds back to what they were designed to be to each other.

what are 'soul energies'

K. Elenchus, even as we speak I feel my mind opening to new understandings. It’s all very exciting to see the out-of-sight framework of romantic love a little more clearly. And, for years, we’ve used the phrase “soul energies” to describe what brings Twins together. But I believe we can sharpen this a little more. How do you see “soul energies” now?

E. It’s a good phrase, it’s helped us a lot, but I think we’re realizing that concepts such as “hidden blueprint” and “UC as waves” need to be added to the mix.

K. Please explain, Elenchus.

UC analyzed in the laboratory of one’s own mind

E. As we’ve said, we can’t inspect UC directly; we can’t weigh it on a scale or put a rule up against it. But, as so many philosophers and scientists in history have done concerning many new ideas, we can analyze it by “going within” the laboratory of one’s own mind.

K. We can take note of how we, in our own hearts and feelings, were affected at various junctures of our lives.

E. And I think that means something. But let’s first say a word about waves again. Let’s tentatively accept Tesla's assertion that everything in the universe is “vibration,” meaning, waves, and I’ll also accept for consideration my own assessment of what happened to us as feeling “just like a rogue wave.”

soul-energies as waves

K. Elenchus, what would it mean that our soul-energies are like waves?

E. I’d like to be careful what I say here as there’s much mystery. However, let’s recall a fundamental property of all waves. Waves transfer energy. Waves are a disturbance in a medium.

Think of that bird again bobbing up and down as a wave goes by:

E. The wave is moving along laterally, but the bird isn’t going anywhere, just moving up and down.

 K. The medium is the water, and the disturbance is the wave. The molecules of sea-water, like the bird, also remain in one place, and so the only thing that’s being transferred is energy, in the form of a wave.

E. Rippling energy, if you will. And now the question is, if UC is a wave, what's the nature of the energy-transfer?

K. Also, what’s the medium and what's the disturbance?

E. These are such excellent questions. I'm not sure if we can offer final answers yet, but, I think we can see, when we are able to credibly answer, we'll really have something.

a disturbance in the force

K. When Yoda said this, as I recall, he sensed danger. But it doesn’t have to be negative, does it?

E. It’s both. And for our purposes here, we’ll be focusing on positive energies that Twins come to know.

K. So, a disturbance in the force would mean a “wave of energy” in the force. Is the force the medium?

E. I’d like to suggest that we slow down a bit. Let’s look at one of our early encounters. Would you like to choose one?

K. We could begin at the beginning, that ride to school when we were seven.

E. I would say that was the first two-party interaction for us as proto-Twins. There may have been an even earlier item, a very brief glimmering about you, just for me, when I was six, but I was so unformed at that earliest stage that it’s hard for me to know if it really happened or if I’m imagining it.

K. (smiling) I jarred you from your slumbers a year later.

E. Actually, you did. It’s one of my earliest memories of being “jerked awake.” And of course “awakening” as a sentient being is the primary reason why we came to the Earth.

K. I realize now that, in my own very immature mind, I was trying to be noticed; so unskillfully executed, needless to say. But, Elenchus, put this into context of what we’re learning about Twins’ morphic fields.

E. This Twin-Soul morphic field would have been with us since the “soul nursery.” For me, it was pretty much in dormant stage, but you – as a girl, with your primary domain of Love – knew it to be activated, at least in part, even at age seven, and maybe before.

K. I’m wondering what prompted me to act, with that outburst?

E. As we’ve said, you screamed bloody-murder – but, as Elvis sang, that was just a lie. What you were really doing was trying to get the attention of a comatose little boy.

K. (small smile) Must all my secrets come out?

E. But, as to your question, why then? – what prompted the outburst? We can’t answer that. The soul, individualizing UC, has its own timetable for inciting us to action.

K. I can’t know the precise origin, but, I think, on that day at age seven, there was a disturbance in the force for me, prompting me to action.

E. Let’s focus on this prompting.

impulse to destiny

K. Looking back on it now, I’ll tell you what it feels like to me… It’s like an “impulse to destiny.”

E. Say more on this.

K. Normally, I would sit there, not saying anything to you; maybe even treat you a little snarky. But then one day it wasn’t enough. I call it an impulse. An impulse is a sudden, unplanned action. It just came over me. I didn’t really choose it. It was like a heartbeat, it just happened all by itself. The best way I can describe it is, “impulse to destiny.”

E. (silence)

K. It’s not that my little-girl mind was seeing far into our future. It was more like – though I didn’t show it on the outside, while even doing the opposite – I liked being around you, it felt good to see you, but, you wouldn’t talk to me.

E. And so you screamed at me.

K. (smiling) What else could I do? At least you looked at me.

E. Well, there was that for you, I guess, but I think “impulse to destiny” is not a bad descriptor. And possibly this “impulse” was a disturbance in the force. Let’s define the force as UC. Normally, your soul-energies were somewhat in quiet mode.

K. Small waves of energy.

E. But then, without notice, there was this significantly larger wave registering “in your spirit.” You were now aware of it, and since it was quite noticeable, this impulse compelled you to act.

K. My sense is that, suddenly, larger waves were issuing from a quantum morphic field dedicated to our future Twin love.

E. That could be correct. I'm reminded of the channeled material quoted on the Omega "Introduction" page. The afterlife entity didn't use the term "impulse to destiny" but said as much. The communicating person declared, very boldly, that, when the true mate comes into one's life, the ensuing vivifying force becomes so potent that "there is nothing that one might not accomplish".

K. That's quite an assertion. And I think we sense this enhanced state of effectiveness. We want the true mate, not just for his attractive face - that's almost the minor part of it - but intuitively we are drawn to the true mate for the unleashing of one's inner soul riches. This is all well in line with what I meant with "impulse to destiny."

E. The inner riches of the soul offer the prospect of unlocking the power of God in our lives, and we sense the undercurrent of potential expansion - courtesy of one's Twin.

K. Elenchus, concerning our question of that duck bobbing up and down, not moving anywhere. How does that relate to what happened to me? - because I did “move” - you might say, I was moved to action, wasn’t I?

E. We need to refine this idea. It’s too obvious to state that the whole purpose of Twins’ morphic field is to lead them to eventual love and marriage, a whole eternal life together. And so, of course, there will be "movement," new conduct, new activity, expressed in the outer world.

K. That has to be a given. Another way of approaching my question is, what is being transferred in the UC wave? – we would say, “some form of energy,” but what does that mean in this case?

E. We’re definitely going deeper into this whole question, and I think I’m seeing something new. We say that morphic fields are hidden blueprints. This means that they reflect the purposes of the Creator, the plans, the very mind of the Intelligent Designer.

K. This is a very important point. That “impulse to destiny” reflects the mind of God! It’s where Mother-Father God want us to eventually be.

E. And so, concerning “What is the energy being transferred?” can we not say that it's an energy leading us toward a destination? That’s what “destiny” means – a “destination.”

K. Elenchus, consider this. We’re talking about Universal Consciousness here. It’s primary attributes are mental, spiritual, cognitive, attitudinal, and the like. All these might blossom or unfold, in one's mind, without the body going anywhere.

E. Yes, I like that. The “true self”, the awakened soul, our own purified consciousness, is like that duck bobbing up and down. It doesn’t go anywhere.

K. That’s right. It doesn’t go anywhere. We could even say, with the Gospel Of Thomas, it’s eternally at rest – at rest in God.

E. Ok, I think we’re onto something here. What eventually happens in the world, as a result of the elevated consciousness, is not the primary focus of UC.

K. This is so because, once you get the “inner life” properly oriented, then one’s actions in the outer world naturally flow apace and take care of themselves. The outer actions are not the problem. The real issue is getting one’s head straight, one’s “inner life,” one's orientation to UC. This is the essential nature of UC's energy that's being transferred. It's focused on awakening the soul to its "made in the image" purpose.

E. It is an energy that perfects us existentially, an inward transformation of restful wholeness, and yet, at the same time, will also move our spirits forward, along with the UC energy wave, toward sacred destiny, in the outer world.

K. (smiling) Let's hear it for the bobbing duck.

reconsidering bobbing ducks

E. I'd like to recheck our work here. It's not quite right.

K. What are you seeing?

E. I think what we’ve said so far is good – to a point. But here’s one problem. When we look at commons waves in the world, like our water wave, the bobbing duck is a separate thing and the energy wave is another separate thing. But this analogy breaks down with Twin love; with this, UC is one “thing” – though it’s not accurate to call it a “thing” – but Twins affected by the process are not a separate thing. All human beings – not their bodies but their spirits – are linked to, are one with, UC.

K. This is a big difference. What does it mean for our explanation?

E. I’m not sure right now. Let’s leave this an open question for the moment as we investigate further.

morphic fields organize energy

K. It’s helpful that we clarify the difference between morphic fields (MF) and UC. Dr. Sheldrake said that MFs organize energy.

E. This definition makes sense because without some means to organize the infinite possibilities, we’d have those “traffic jams.”

K. Stated plainly, this means that MFs organize the UC waves, the infinite possibilities of UC.

specific MF regulate different aspects of sexual affinity

K. Some people might say that human sexual attraction can be totally accounted for by brain chemicals. Are there little “blueprints” in the chemicals? – little pictures of erotic goal, with a whispered coaching, “Here’s the photo of the good stuff, now go for it”? I don’t think so. Brain chemicals do not come with a GPS system.

E. I see brain chemicals as a general incitement to riot, like injecting fizzy carbonation into water. It can make the body want to “snap, crackle, and pop,” but, without something more, there’d be no direction.

K. But let’s take a step back and ask, what about the “sexual incitement to riot” in various animals? I’m not a chemist but I’ll bet you a dollar that each different species, most of them, have their own brain chemicals, but the result of the “spiked cocktail” is different in each case.

E. That’s right. The goose or the gopher or the gorilla is not interested in alluring bodes outside its own species. The goose does not find the gopher enticing, and the gorilla would not cross the street to meet a goose.

K. In like manner, the goose or the gopher or the gorilla would yawn at a photo of Marilyn Monroe.

K. But the “goose-equivalent” of Marilyn might very well cause the gander to go into shock, and lose some feathers.

E. Your point is well taken. And concerning the gorilla, or the whole chimp family, I think it’s been said that their genome is something like 98% equal to humans. And again, we’re not chemists, but I’ll bet an extra dollar that their brain chemicals, associated with “sexual incitement to riot”, is very similar, if not identical to, that of humans. So, Kriss, you brought up the subject of MFs regulating this. What’s going on here?

K. We should, once again, encourage our readers to review the evidence for MFs put forward by Dr. Sheldrake. However, I think, the closer we look at this, the more it becomes clear that particular MFs regulate sexual attraction within a species.

E. Each member of a species has his or her own idea of what a "beautiful mate" looks like. Things like this cannot happen by accident.

K. These allurements are species-specific. Particular species-oriented MFs cause the goose to be sexually attracted to another goose, the gopher to another gopher, and so on. These MFs are of a generic kind, meaning, with pretty much all participants within a species, the players aren’t so particular which feathered, finned, or furred body they’re hooking up with. This is so because MFs are designed to perpetuate species.

E. And these MFs would direct the behavior of human sexual partners, as well.

K. Almost certainly this would be true. This is why unenlightened John thinks he can be happy with any pretty Mary - "any pretty fish in the sea." And it's why, according to some studies, close to 50% -- I think it's more -- of those who get together as couples do so because they’ve caught “the fever.”

E. “Hotter than a brussel-sprout.”

K. Humans contract this same "fever" that bedevils pretty much all life-forms. Each species feels the "incitation to riot." We’re led, generically so, by the promiscuous wiles of Mother Nature to keep the generations moving forward. She has zero concern for morality, only growing numbers.

E. But, there's a certain sub-class of humans who are led by more than common impetus to sexual union.

K. We call them Twin Souls. There are other MFs that regulate a higher, more evolved, form of sexual union – the eternal Twin Soul marriage. And we are led to suspect that each Twin couple has its own unique MF to manage and direct their coming together. This sort of MF leads two into an awareness of mutual bondedness -- between one particular woman and one particular man.

awakenings

E. Let’s try to bring some of this down to practical example. After the “bloody murder” incident, two years later, when we were nine, there was the Flintstone event.

K. That was so amazing. This was our first, joint, high-toned interaction - high spirits, high feelings -- in terms of both parties greatly enjoying the jubilant occurrence. Strangely, this high-emotion reciprocity would not be experienced again until many decades later!

E. This will take some explaining - because, from what we've just said, it would seem that I, at age nine, was fully on board "for us." But this is not how it was at all.

K. Why don't you talk about the Robin Williams example.

E. In the movie “Awakenings,” Williams portrays Dr. Malcolm Sayer working with catatonic patients. In 1969 he discovered that the drug L-DOPA could awaken his patients from catatonic state. While the healthful effects were temporary, for that brief period of time, the once near-comatose invalids came to mental life and blossomed as somewhat fully-engaged persons.

K. Tell us, Elenchus, how this relates to our situation.

E. Sayer provided a wonderful benefit, and I do not wish to diminish his achievement by a loose or untoward comparison. However, I can’t help drawing some measure of similitude to what happened to me. I was nine years old. A boy - and that says a lot right there. And I had never (consciously) thought of you as a “special friend”. And yet, during a phone conversation with you, lasting 30 to 45 minutes, I came “alive” to you. Yes, I know, this doesn’t sound like much, but I know, and you know, what I was before our talk, and the difference is utterly stark.

K. You’re saying it was like coming out of a catatonic state.

E. I was socially immature. I don’t want to exaggerate, but, part of me knows quite well that this cognitive-impairment analogy is not altogether misapplied.

K. After our talk, you went right back to being your “comatose” self. It’s as if you had no memory of our extremely good time together.

E. This seems unlikely, but it's correct. And here's another detail to this story. Exactly one week later, once again after the Flintstone program, we revisited our phone conversation, and, once again, the very same ultra-high feelings, the very same intoxicated euphoria simply to converse, overwhelmed me – all over again!

K. And then, this second “awakening” the very next week, like the first, was immediately forgotten, and you reverted to the familiar little-boy “catatonic” state – that is, in reference to me.

E. I mentally review this incident now, so many decades after the fact, and I am astonished, all over again, that I could have felt so much, in that short time with you, but then to deny it all, to sweep it away, as if it never happened. Twice!

bam-bam meets pebbles

K. Elenchus, you have stated, for the record, many times, that the happiness you felt with me, and for me, during those two conversations – two precisely identical-in-effect conversations! – constituted the happiest moments of your entire life, the euphoria of which would never be superseded, during the next many decades, despite living a somewhat experientially-rich life!

E. It is impossible – I say this, I know this, because I can feel its throbbing vitality deep inside! – it is impossible for this to have happened in my spirit without some extremely major vivifying force to have brought it all into being. I didn’t understand this at the time, and I wouldn’t be able to perceive the significance until my old age – not until a time of much greater sentience – but I can feel the truth of it, right now, and I know this is what happened.

E. You know, I still remember some of that conversation after the Flintstones show. You were so crazy, way more animated than the cartoon, you were imitating the characters, talking like them, and this made me laugh and laugh. Well, it was funny, but it wasn’t that funny, there was something else going on, making me feel very lightheaded.

K. (small smile) Bam-Bam meets Pebbles. Just as "beauty is not in the thing", neither is one's euphoria. There's some other underlying force in play.

E. Bam-Bam meets Pebbles, and immediately he soars from Neanderthal to a more-advanced Cro-Magnon level.

K. (smiling) Instantly, he understood that, without her, he had no reason to evolve.

E. And when he first saw her, through clearing Neanderthal eyes, did he suddenly realize that this was the absolute happiest moment of his entire life?

K. Of course. Note carefully that this "happiest moment" did not come to him when he was playing marbles or baseball or a hundred other little-boy activities, but, only when he was with her.

E. I really need to readjust my morphic field, it's been acting up lately, still under warranty, I think.

K. Uh-huh. But, I should also add that this "happiest moment" would retain title only until the next rogue-wave encounter, which would then be viewed as the new "happiest moment." This is how life unfolds for Pebbles and Bam-Bam.

romantic love is often seen as something insubstantial, a whim, a fever, something to get over – but beware of violating the holy and authentic version of this

The “insane 500” believe in marriage as a passing phase in our evolution; they adopt this view because they’ve never experienced the real thing. But other teachers, having accessed the life within, disagree.

the gathering rogue wave 

K. In our meditations concerning what happened to us, and as we evaluate it all in light of UC as wave-energy, I would like to remind us that the UC wave-energy might not just be "sourced" from one of us, but, with the Flintstone event, I would suggest that we entered a phase where the energy was coming from both of us.

E. This would be “wave reinforcement”, of waves blending to make bigger waves.

K. Look at the two “interfering waves.” That’s you and me.

E. We see that their ups-and-downs match.

K. And because they match, they easily combine. And when they combine – or, interfere “constructively” – they create a wave that’s twice as big!

E. And I think that the concept of reinforcing waves can explain something of what happened to us in those two talks. For me, it was more than just feeling happy. I came "alive." It felt like I was being jerked into a higher consciousness level.

K. I was a little more awakened then, but, I would say, you were not totally dead to me, just a little “comatose” with smaller energy waves. I believe that our two energy-waves – two matching waves – combined, and your spirits were sent flying. You didn’t want to fly, had no intention of feeling that good with me. However, it wasn’t your decision but your soul’s decision, and it chose that moment to stir itself.

E. These are rough analogies, but I feel there’s good truth in it.

reinforced waves = 'no you and no me'

K. This is a major point of understanding, and I hope everyone has taken the time to make sense of each step of explanation so far. Allow me to say, as well, in the list of articles at the bottom of this page, you will find much discussion on the subject of “no you and no me.”

E. This might not sound like much but it’s actually one of the most important concepts on the entire WG site.

K. Elenchus, there’s an important quote from Sculthorp that supports some of our discussion. We’ve often said that Twins, "made in the image," each for the other, reveal the hidden face of God. Even more, now, with our understanding of waves in confluence, we sense that their energies can align in a kind of joint meditation, a joint accessing of the mind of God. We’d like to “read into the record” Sculthorp’s testimony as it relates quite closely to what we’re investigating here.

K. To avoid excessive repetition, we must assign our readers the homework of studying “no you and no me” in the sister-writings; see below. All this acknowledged, Elenchus, could you make a statement concerning application to the present discussion?

E. Reinforced waves, waves that interfere constructively, are in harmony. They match. They become one wave, usually, resulting in a much larger wave. When this coming together occurs, there is no longer space between the waves. They’ve merged. They’ve become each other.

K. And this elimination of space, of becoming each other, this “no you and no me”, is what began to happen to us – on the level of morphic field waves -- more and more, progressively, in the various interactions of our lives.

E. “No you and no me” eliminates existential "distance" between two. This results in perceptions of oneness – and oneness, as discussed in our articles, produces an unparalleled experience of pleasure. Far more than ordinary bio-attraction. Actually, “more” is not the right descriptor, as it’s different in kind not just more. It feels “higher grade” or “lighter” or “fresh and clean.”

K. And it seems to me that this “no you and no me”, this "no distance," began to happen for us, even at age nine, during the Flintstone incidents. And, I think it’s clear, this is the source of your feelings of “happiest moments” of life. What you felt was way off the charts of anything a little boy should have been privy to. A highest-level mystical-experience of oneness produced this euphoria. But we were just getting starting.

‘no, I can’t take your call, I don’t even like you’

K. Elenchus, for our remaining discussion, I suggest that we focus a little more on the two major phone calls. There were other incidents of note, but these two were pretty big for us.

E. Just to mention, one of those incidents was at age 13 when you came to me, with great enthusiasm, and wanted to tell me some things. And the question could be asked, why was I still so disengaged – especially, after the euphoria at age nine?

K. How do you see it?

E. I think you had given me cause to be wary; certain “snarky” behavior had made me cautious.

K. As we’ve said, the energy from morphic fields can be toned down if we try very hard to suppress. I suspect that’s what happened. And, of course, after the age 13 event, I took my own turn at disengagement. I thought you had rejected me, and so I wouldn’t even look at you all through high school.

E. And so this takes us up to the first major phone call. We’ve already talked about this and have given details. I had just come back from a long far-away journey of some years. I didn’t want to talk to you, but a phone receiver was shoved into my hands by a relative.

K. And now, suddenly, we were talking.

E. I don’t want to recap everything, but only to apply our new knowledge of waves to “what happened next.”

K. As you give account, even against your will and preference, meaning, you were still very angry with me, you suddenly found yourself awash in MF waves – inundating waves! – feelings of “coming home” in my presence, a sweetest feeling of “you are just like me,” an intoxicating perception of “utter familiarity” concerning me.

E. Fourteen years had passed since the Flintstones. During that time, the “rogue waves” were not sleeping. They were growing and growing. In this new situation, they’d burgeoned and swelled to such an extent that their energy could now overcome and swamp, if only temporarily, my intense anger.

K. And from our more knowledgeable perspective today, this is pretty much what happened.

whether you like it or not

K. As we’ve indicated, you wouldn’t stay on the line very long, you were too mad. But, even so, you remained in the flow of conversation – mainly coming from me – long enough to flood your spirit with a recognition of who I am to you; whether you liked it or not.

E. When I hung up, I put you out of my mind once again, and refused to think about you for a long time.

K. Repression is a handy little tool – for a while; but eventually it doesn’t work anymore. And now we know why.

E. You bring up a great point. When the hidden rogue-wave is still relatively small, heavy duty repression can put a big damper on it; for a while.

K. A day comes when, try as you might, you can’t hide that tidal-wave within anymore. The waves of the morphic fields are now many stories high, and they just sweep your life away. But I’m getting ahead of our report.

E. Twenty-two years later I called you. I still was mad at you, didn’t want to talk to you, but decided to make contact. Your image was popping up in my dreams, night and day, and this really annoyed me.

K. I hadn’t thought of this before but those dreams were also surface-evidence of the growing rogue-wave “way down below.”

E. That’s really interesting, but I can see now that you’re correct.

K. This is one more indicator of the “impulse to destiny.” The morphic fields begin to throw off more and more energy directed toward bringing two together. Actual union or marriage might still be decades away, or even in the next life, but the morphic fields don’t care about those practicalities. They just want to burst forth right now.

E. I can feel that this is correct. Well, that first phone call had a lot of power behind it, but – nothing like the gigantic power released in the second!

K. It’s hard for people to believe us, or to imagine. But this was a full blown mystical experience, with all the trimmings of deep insights, all the psychic fallout.

10 to 100

E. I’ll just say that if phone call #1 was a wave ten feet high, call #2 was a hundred feet high.

K. I recall it as a major example of "no you and no me."

E. Much later in life, I was finally able to perceive the meaning of "no you and no me" from what happened during this event.

new insight concerning 'shattering' and 'breathing'

K. We’d like to inform our readers that these paragraphs here concerning “shattering” are being added many months after what we thought was the conclusion of this writing on “waves.”

E. As we’ve learned, no subject is ever truly wrapped-up with a pink bow and finished. All knowledge is connected, and, eventually, we see how more pieces fit together.

K. This is a really good insight, and since you were the one to speak of “shattering,” Elenchus, why don’t you lead this explanation?

E. Let’s begin by referencing some concepts of several years ago. We said that “Summerland can’t be invaded.” The full discussion is on the “Summerland 1-minute” page, but here’s an excerpt:

Nobody in Summerland could ever be invaded or bullied or even insulted. But what’s to stop uncivil people from marching into Summerland? There are no walls or customs officers at the borders; in fact, there are no borders to be seen...

But, why don’t the sordid denizens of the Shadowlands simply walk out of their squalor and move into the pleasant Summerland?

The issue is one of vibrational essence. Those of “low vibration,” which equates to a selfish spirit, if they attempted to cross over the line into Summerland, would experience a sense of shattering. It would feel like they couldn’t breathe, a coming apart at the seams. Read about this in the “Crystalline Entity” article.

No negative dark force, from anywhere in the universe, can take one step into Summerland without experiencing a feeling of being ripped apart... by the disparity in vibrational essence. Their energies would be out-of-phase with the positive spirit of Summerland.

K. This is so interesting - and this is exactly what you said happened to you when you "first met me"! You said you couldn't breathe, that you felt yourself to be shattering and ripped apart!

E. It is incredible as we look at all this.

K. But, Elenchus - you were not of a selfish disposition when this overtook you. So explain to everyone what happened.

E. The principle here of “energies out-of-phase” applies not just to the selfish, but it's a principle governing everyone, from lowest to highest. For example, the vibrational essence of those living in Summerland will be more rarified, with a higher frequency, than those of the Dark Realms – but, there are all sorts of worlds beyond Summerland with environments finer and more elevated, and the Summerland residents can't go there yet.

K. Father Benson and Ruth were given an invitation to visit a person billions of years old who inhabited one of these domains of very high vibration. Their personal energies did not match and so they had to be protected with a kind of force-field in order to make the visit.

E. The general rule is, no matter where one lives over there, one can always “go down” in terms of vibration and visit lower realms, but one cannot “go up” unless there’s some kind of protection.

K. And so the shattering, the inability to breathe, will be felt if there’s a disparity of energies, no matter where one lives on that scale.

E. It’s a natural process. As we mature spiritually, become more and more like Mother-Father God, our vibrational essence ratchets up. This means we can then easily visit or move to more rarified worlds, but we don’t have to relocate if we don't want to.

K. The “Ancient Sage” talks about this (again, see the Summerland page). He says he’s lived in Summerland for thousands of years even though his spirit-body is fitted to inhabit finer worlds. But he doesn’t want to move, and simply visits and travels where he likes, and keeps his “roots” and counseling work in Summerland.

E. I like that plan. And I wouldn’t like to disturb the many animals we hope to have on our small farm. But here's a section from Father Benson's first channeled book that speaks of these things:

...there are other realms immeasurably more beautiful than that in which we were now happily living; realms of surpassing beauty into which we cannot penetrate until such time as we have earned the right to enter… What of the lower spheres that Edwin spoke about? We could visit them whenever we desired. We can always proceed to a realm lower than our own, while we cannot always mount higher…

E. And here he describes what happened when they hiked toward an invisble boundary to a "higher" level of Summerland:

We walked a little way forward, but we could proceed no farther. There were no visible barriers, but we felt that we could not breathe if we went onward. The whole atmosphere was becoming so much the more rarefied the farther we penetrated that, in the end, we were bound to retrace our steps on to our own ground…

K. Wow, they could not breathe, felt themselves undone! So, Elenchus, I think we’re starting to understand, but spell it out for us, what happened to you when “Harry met Sally.”

E. It seems pretty clear to me now. True love cannot be experienced by John and Mary. True love requires an upward shift in consciousness, in vibrational essence.

K. It’s like traveling to a more rarified world.

E. Yes, but it's not about geographical boundary but related to essential being. When I “first met you” my spirit was suddenly catapulted into a higher level of consciousness, but the mortal body wasn’t able to “live on Mount Olympus.”

K. It was like attempting to invade a world that one’s spirit-body had not been fitted for. And when you stepped over that line, you immediately couldn’t breathe and felt yourself to be shattering.

K. Elenchus, in keeping with our analogy… would you say that the Hoover Dam was obliterated in the aftermath of phone call #2?

who moved my Hoover

E. The answer is complicated – it’s yes and no; eventually, very much yes, but initially, not as much. That event totally up-ended my life, but by degrees and in stages. And there were unexpected consequences. Almost immediately, long-held dogmatic religious beliefs began to crumble. I began to see more - and then, more and more. Five years later my personal life was in complete upheaval. But what I’ve just said misrepresents what happened, it wasn't a smooth curve upward. Even though I was changing, the ego was attempting to “rebuild Hoover Dam.” And even though the ego had taken a severe blow, it was not down for the count. I found myself trying to make sense of what had happened, and, failing that, attempted to repress. But that didn’t work anymore.

K. The waves were way too high now.

please keep to my business hours

E. However, in my struggle to sweep the memory of you "under the rug,” I created suffering in my life. I would need another 15 years to substantially admit what had happened to me – admit who you are to me – but then, another 5 years, a total of 20 years after the phone call – to fully surrender to and accept the reality of who I was in relation to you. But, during this latter phase of my life, the daily insights, with the Hoover now largely gone, just bombarded me, every day -- pop, pop, pop -- the new insights flooded and overwhelmed me; by day and, maybe especially, late at night. I'd be worn out by "the messages" and would sometimes just ask "them" to stop sending the memos.

K. I think many people assume that a mystical experience is “one and done,” and now your life is immediately new. But look at what happened to the apostle Paul on the way to Damascus. He spent the next 20 to 30 years sorting this out. We see his internal conflict as represented in his letters, as he discarded various beliefs, but only after many years.

E. And so the effects will come straggling along. The ego won’t let you go so quickly just because you had “the heavens open” for you. For a long time, it just doubles down, to keep you from wandering off the plantation.

legal age is now 70

K. And so, after 20 years, would you say that the Hoover Dam was gone?

E. In a substantial way, yes. It’s not that I no longer had an ego, but it was greatly toned down, and even people around me, who had known me for decades, would tell me how different I’d become. They couldn’t figure it out. But this didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen. Another way of stating all this, and I’ve said this to myself many times, it took me almost all my life to “grow up,” to become a mature man. I didn’t count myself as a truly mature person until close to age 70.

K. Allow me to make a comment; for me, something sad. It takes so long to mature and "grow up." And, by that time, the game is pretty well over. What this means is, for almost all Twin couples, they need to realize that this world and this life is not the place where God intended Twins to find their happiness. There's another world for this.

E. An old friend once asked me, "what do you mean, you were not a fully mature person until nearly age 70?"

K. And how did you answer that?

E. I said, "it took me until almost age 70 to finally commit myself to following the truth wherever it might lead."

non-local

K. Elenchus, shall we begin to wind down our discussion?

E. I’ll mention a few odds-and-ends. It’s strange, but many of our major interactions took place on the phone. We didn’t plan it that way, it’s just what life offered. And some would say, how could you experience so much when you weren’t even together? But physicists use the term “non-local”. This means that X can affect Y no matter where they are in the universe.

K. In the quantum world, spatial proximity has little to do with it.

entangled lives

E. Entangled particles -- or proto-particles, they're not yet actual particles -- are connected by waves, which might stretch from one end of the universe to the other, and the particles affect each other instantly. The speed of light has no bearing on the process.

K. And of course the Spirit Guides say that Twins are never, ever separated. And non-locality tells us why. Their morphic fields can be muted, but always in active mode, and very non-local.

E. There is so much to this subject.

K. Many loose ends, but it shall always be so. We wish our readers all the best in finding meaning here for their lives.

E. I’ve been thinking more about what happened to us at age nine, the Flintstone event.

K. Are you seeing something new?

E. It’s clear to me that your energies of delight were leading that experience. You were ahead of me. At age nine I would not yet have been able to initiate that kind of high-level delight, which means that my euphoria was jump-started by yours. I know you were “in charge” of that big event for us because look at what happened four years later when you came to me. Once again, you were the one, your spirit exuded an extreme delight just to be with me. However, this time, I did not reciprocate. I was polite to you but would not budge from a reserved demeanor.

K. What would you say made the difference?

E. Recall, in my comments above, I said that I’d become wary of you. I didn’t dislike you, but your mercurial disposition put me on guard. Too often you’d be snarky, and I didn’t feel that you liked me very much.

K. I understand. You couldn’t trust me to be reasonable and equanimous. You didn’t know which one of me would show up the next time.

E. (sighing) Unfortunately, I think this is correct. And this mismatch of perceptions put us on a track, not just for mutual antipathy in high school but, far worse, sent each of us on a very long journey to make a life without each other.

K. (softly) And now we know why we lost each other for 60 or 70 years… Elenchus, is there any other lesson you’ve gleaned from those early years?

E. It’s actually quite shocking but very instructive. What we did at the surface of life virtually meant for nothing in terms of our underlying soul-bond. The rogue wave kept building and building…

K. … despite our best efforts to shut it down. It’s like Franchezzo’s friends who also made a mess of their relationship, and yet, at the end, were able to say that they'd always been true to each other.

E. This is a remarkable quotation. But there’s actually one more insight; more of a speculation, but it’s feeling real to me.

K. For a comatose young boy, “only vaguely aware of the light,” you seem to have turned into some kind of seer and mystic.

E. It’s all that poking-and-jabbing to awareness I got from you.

K. Uh-huh. So tell me what you know.

E. Sometimes I wonder about us, when we transition. In my fears, I’m plagued with, which one of you will show up? That perfect girl of your higher self, or the snarky and angry girl?

K. And how does this work out for us?

E. Well, I know we’re Twins – those many mystical experiences confirmed that. So I know we’ll be together eventually. But it bothers me that you might “go rogue” along with our rogue wave, and separate yourself from me, for who knows how many years. It’s not that this has never happened to us; for us, it’s almost the norm. I mean, you could actually convince yourself to be with someone else over there, and reject me… and this could last for a few hundred years.

K. So, hypothetically, how would you handle that? – would you marry someone else?

E. Well, I couldn’t do that. My eyes are open now to the reality. Too many people would be hurt. I would have to live alone, I mean, without a marriage mate… but I would construct my life with a view toward you coming back to me… someday.

K. Elenchus… is this fantasy, or do you ascribe some high probability of this happening?

E. This question has bothered me for some time. But, I believe I now see what is most likely to happen.

K. (silence)

E. I believe you will come to me… I believe that we will be together right away.

K. (sighing) And why do you think so?

E. It’s that growing rogue wave… it’s still growing… your extreme delight to be with me was so overwhelming in those early years… and then, more than 30 years later, in that second phone call, it was even more forcible… that rogue wave had been growing all during those interim years, and it’s still growing… and, I believe… its energy will burst forth and not allow us to be apart in the new world.
