If you could change the path of human evolution where would you start? With the physical or the psychological? Do you believe changes in our thinking create changes in our form?
Would you reduce our environmental impact by changing our systemised consumerism? To lessen over-production and manufacturing, would you use sustainable materials like hemp and bamboo?
Continue ReadingWith any chain of security protocols, from passwords to 2FA double authenticating, the weakest link in the chain that can be infiltrated is the human connection. People are careless and predictable when it comes to passwords, pins and general security. From birthdays to anniversaries, making a password, unless randomised, can be worked out by understanding the person involved. We are not randomised machines; we can’t individually produce a random list of letters or numbers no matter how we try. We, like all living things are pattern based, we see, think, live, move in patterns. To truly separate ourselves from the patterns of life would be to not exist in the current moment, whether we could return from that state would be unlikely.
Everything from the eddy currents of water flowing down a drain, the firing of neurons as ions move across the synaptic gaps in our brains, to the tiniest vibrations of a crystal can be calculated as they all follow a pattern. Everything in our reality that we can know is made up of atoms and the space between them. They vibrate to a frequency changed by their temperature. Grouped together these vibrating molecules have characteristics derived from this vibrating behaviour. Moving further out from atoms to molecules, minerals, solids, plant and animal cells to form the world we live in and the organisms in it. And even further out again to planets and solar systems. All made up of the same components just arranged differently and on different scales of complexity. Even the idea of gravity we think of as caused by planets but that attraction force is in everything around us. It is more easily understood and visualised when felt through the awesome power of a planet but every atom has its force of attraction. Every object attracted to another, only the greater the mass the stronger the pull.
Down the rabbit hole of how everything works together, everything can be predicted as it is all based on the same rule of vibrations and frequencies. This all ties down to our thought patterns, we think ourselves unique, individual and we are, in a simple way, but we too are of the same essence as everything else just more complicated by the number of moving parts involved. In the same way a single bee does not make a hive we are the hive of multiple organisms, bacteria. Even our mitochondria that powers our every cell is not of our original DNA, it is another organism that has its own RNA that we host and work synergistically with.
The argument for consciousness and where it emanates from. Considering our sense of sight for a minute. All the information our eyes send to our brain, of light and edges we perceive, to be masterfully translated to a colourful vision of our surrounding environment. Creating a pattern from the jargon is how our brains have evolved. Could our consciousness be the multiple voices, vibrations of every organism we host, every mitochondrion powering out those life giving adenosine triphosphates. The neurons linking our gut to our brain, the protective bacteria coating our skin, the individual vibrations of every cell that makes us up physically. All together creating a roar of internal noise that we filter down to a thought. And then another and another, a group of thoughts together forming the ego, personality, sense of self.
The cumulation of our lives are a group effort even when we are but one, many organisms create the whole individual.
All this just to create the very complete understanding that we can never be random as this would erode the glue that ties all life and all matter together. So how, you ask, does a computer generate a random code or password? It doesn’t, it just seems random compared to our best attempts. Every computer is based on a quartz crystal, it vibrates at a steady rate to which we use it as a timekeeper so all electronics can sync together in order for data being transferred to make sense. Without which, there wouldn’t be electronics or computers possible in the world. Every calculation a computer makes to result in displaying a letter typed from keyboard to screen, to the computer booting up requires the frequency characteristic of this crystal. So, when a random number is generated, it’s a calculation from a formula upon which is fundamentally based on the frequency of the quartz crystal. This removes the possibility of a truly random event in any way possible in our existence.
Continuing this line of thinking if a person, consciousness or device could tune into the every changing noise of the vibrations around us. Then it could be deemed that they could understand the patterns of all that occurs in that moment. What would it take to be in the moment ahead of this moment? We already know the next moment is a continuation of the pattern from the last moment, making the future predictable but more complicated than we are currently capable of. It’s only a matter of time before this happens, a few more quartz crystals vibrating ahead, a few more moments of time to pass. But time is time, a word we use to help us co-exist, to stay in sync with each other. Careful though, reveal it, understand it, but don’t change the pattern, as time like our minds may unfold without it.

We live in a world with constant information being channelled towards us, a flood of data, brand names, products, fashion statements, health worries, fears ranging from terrorism to pandemics. This constant barrage of uninvited data clouds our view of the real world. Consider even 40 years ago, no mobile phones, tablets, Alexa’s, personal computers. We had to take time out of our day and tune in to a tv, to be hit with the messages of product advertising and the news, broadcasting a sense of worry. But when away from this, the amount of inconsequential information flowing towards us was very quiet compared to today.
In today’s world we can’t even turn away from the constant digital chatter, it carries with it expectations, a sense of what it is that we should be eating, believing, doing or liking relative to others on Facebook and Instagram. To see everyone else’s opinion constantly overrides our own as we take less time to consider what we actually like ourselves. What was fashionable once took a decade to blend through a social group, now styles flicker into then out of fashion in a matter of months. The change comes quickly as the newest styles are run out, once released they start expensive, worn by a select few, then slide down the chain of rare to common as fast fashion replicates the design and floods the market. At this point the scales have tipped and the item is already unfashionable. It could be said that the length of time modern fashion can last is directly proportional to the speed at which the product can be duplicated and cheaply sold. Once more than 10% of a population can afford it, the novelty is lost.
We are not simply living our own life in this world anymore, but the mass reflection of other lives. It’s becoming harder to separate what we desire and what we’re expected to desire. We are in a multi-rope tug of war, being pulled in all directions. Our own true sense of self begins in the middle where we try to hold ground. The stronger our convictions and beliefs the more stable, rooted we are. There will always be some people that will be unaffected by the tugging as they have freed themselves from the senseless chatter. But being constantly pulled about will move many of us, shifting from our centre we become a puppet to whatever system now feeds this view of the world that we see ourselves within. This is what it is to be affected by non-physical forces although we can see the medium on which they travel and we are aware of them.
Going a level deeper we have the underlying envelope of energies that flow about the whole of existence. The emotional, planetary, solar and conscious. The group life force of 8 billion people, a harmony or disharmony of emotional vibrations. What is it to live and be so conscious of a species as we are? We sense more than we can comprehend, we sense the sadness of loved ones, the mood of a crowd. Do we really believe we go unaffected by the mass emotional disruption of a country going through a war or a people being persecuted? Forces unseen and forces not yet measurable, play a role in how our moods are moulded over time.
Our low and high vibration ranges tell the story of how at peace we are, compared to how conflicted we are. Our vibrations will often resonate together with others and as we share similar vibrations we connect in a much deeper way. This, I believe, continues even after we are separated from the person, feeling them emotionally, regardless of distance. Our energy vibrations rise higher as we move out of the guilt and shame and towards acceptance, reason and ultimately enlightenment. By being generous and loving, accepting of others we rise above the fog of prejudice and negative thoughts.
How can we protect ourselves from this constant barrage of negative forces? For the more measurable influences we can reduce social media intake, less Instagram and Facebook. Don’t allow other people’s sad search for validation to reflect on ourselves and don’t prompt it from others by showing a whitewashed version of ourselves. Believe in yourself, try to think positive thoughts and aim to attract yourself to like-minded positive people. Dancing, singing, art of any form, expressing yourself through any medium without looking for validation from others, but just expressing yourself for yourself. Play and have fun, don’t worry about what other people think, this is what it is to be truly free and unaffected by that tug of war. The world is full of wonders, don’t just read about other people’s stories, make your own without trying to value it or relate it to others. Make your own story for you, because that’s all there is to this world that you live in, is you. Live the good life for yourself.
