Time to Tune In? - Quareness Series (18th "Lecture").
Dr. Christopher Ruhm, a scientist in the US, after looking at the impact of economic recessions for over 2 decades has recently concluded that when an industrialised country goes through temporary recession and people lose their jobs, most become healthier. His huge study suggested that in the US for every 1% increase in unemployment there's a 2% decline in the death rate of 22 - 44 year olds. He began this research 11 years ago and his conclusions have recently been backed up with data from a joint project by Stanford University and the University of North Carolina.
At first glance this result seems sorta strange. However, maybe what it really shows is the beneficial effect (in terms of health) of increased "idleness" e.g. when people stop thinking about work as the centre of their lives it seems they're inclined towards cutting down on apparently unhealthy "activities" such as smoking, lack of exercise or eating badly. More research shows that people are more likely to be in the healthier weight ranges during bad economic times when physical activity tends to rise and diet improves with higher consumption of fruit and vegetables and lower daily intake of dietary fat. What appears to happen is that without "work" people have more time to exercise and prepare healthy meals and are not just grabbing "comfort" food between "busy" tasks. The incidence of smoking too may reduce - during the US recession of the 1990s a decline of 5% was measured both in the numbers smoking and the number of cigarettes smoked.
It also makes sense that in recessions people may tend to drive less either as an economy measure or because they're no longer commuting or driving around as part of their work. People are more likely to walk and cycle and the incidence of road traffic accidents tends to decrease. Other potential "benefits" include families spending more time together and people becoming more conscious of the environment e.g increased use of public libraries and a fall in household rubbish.
Unfortunately it seems that these lifestyle improvements are generally not sustained when the economy picks up again and people revert to their pre unemployment norms of activity and thinking. And this raises some core questions about modern man and our "developed" societies - are we in fact liberated or enslaved by our limited understanding of what constitutes good living in synch with our true nature? - could these cyclical economic recessions be Mother Nature's way of trying to tell us something about our collective mental and physical health?
Back when Ernest Rutherford in Manchester, England was trying to unlock some secrets it was discovered that at its core the atom is almost entirely empty space. The implications were astounding - our intentions shape our reality.
The daily life we consciously experience with our 5 senses may not be our true reality. Quantum physics seems to show that space and time are really illusions of perception and that our bodies cannot define reality if they occupy space. This, however, also raises the question of how empty atoms could possibly make the solid world we perceive around us? Our true consciousness may not exist in our brains or bodies. The illusion that it does has manifested in our conviction that we all think independently from one another but this cannot explain away phenomena which are essentially ways of transferring information between entities without physical intermediaries e.g. telepathy. However, if we take it that there is a common spiritual bond between all things in the Universe and that we are all part of the same divine intelligence, all phenomena is explainable. Looked at this way the blank within the direct basic building blocks of quantifiable existence is malleable and molded by intent - consciousness shapes our reality.
Life on earth appears to be evolving into more complex forms fuelled by innate knowledge. There seems to be an ongoing development of collective consciousness within each species - once a critical number of individual members have learned something new, the knowledge is kinda instantly acquired by all members ("100th monkey effect").
It would seem also that everything may be connected and harmonises at focal points where vibrations locate e.g. like musical notes. And vibrations are frequency fuelled. The molten iron crystal at the core of earth has a frequency pulse of 7.83 Hz (Schumann resonance ). Emotions too have frequencies, being part of this all encompassing matrix, and we humans get to experience the physical symptoms of these intangible signals (rather than the emotions themselves).
There are only 2 basic emotions (from which all others derive) - fear and love. The former has a low/long and slow frequency and the latter a high/short and fast one. Sound can easily be demonstrated to set a pattern in say iron filings and when frequency increases the pattern develops greater complexity. From this we can see that it's love rather than fear which tends towards complexity and our evolutionary destiny - like Gilbert & Sullivan said "it's love that makes the world go round".
There are 64 possible codes of amino acids in our human DNA whose structure is made from 4 elements - carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen. At present we appear to have only about 20 activated codes with the remainder possibly awaiting further steps along our evolutionary path. A switch (what we call emotion) turns these codes on/off. Fear, because of the "shape" of its frequency, touches relatively few spots on our DNA string (= limited number of antennae available to a person). Love on the other hand has many potential coding pitstops along that genetic double helix pattern (steps to heaven - Jacob's ladder?).
Worthy of mention here is the "famous" photon DNA experiment conducted by Vladimir Poponin - as he increased the light inside a vacuum tube the photons (tiny particles of light) were scattered (as expected). However, after he inserted a sample of human DNA into the tube the particles aligned themselves along the spiral axis of the DNA. And then when he removed the DNA sample the light particles to his great surprise remained aligned as before.
Does both of these "facts" amount to some scientific evidence that our "frequency switch" emotions directly impact the "shape" of our DNA which in turn directly effects the physical reality we experience every day?
What if this world really was different
From what we've thought it to be
With its llnear line of progression
From beginning to end.
What if the truth was different
From what we've been taught to believe
With its past, present and future
Has been, now being and yet to be.
When the atom split with a quantum leap
The moving and static of our formulating
Showed us both wave and particle
The dual nature of the real deal
And thus also revealed
That what we see is what has to be
And where and how we look
Is what we must needs witness.
Our formal education systems have favoured development of the "logic & reason" left brain and this has been underpinned and embedded in our subconscious by constant repetition. This concentration on the "left brain" has had the effect of suppressing the "feminine" in all of us (reflected in so many of our organisations and societal structures). And in so doing we have somewhat lost our perhaps innate ability to "feel" the vital core energy (cosmic + personal). Nevertheless the speeded up rate of development in human affairs over recent times, particularly with the advent of the interconnected wired technology of the world wide web, may be a sign that we're now almost ready to reintegrate the feminine and to consciously reconnect with our full brain.
Ladies and gents is it now nearly time to fully tune in aris?
