A Sad, sad day...

Today, my favourite film director - Anthony Minghella - has passed away at the age of 54. His films, such as English Patient, Talented Mr. Ripley and Truly, madly deeply were of the most honest and touching films I have ever seen. I so looked forward at more profound films from this great story-teller; but his brilliance stops with 'Breaking & Entering'.

It feels as if I lost a great friend. It is a sad day for the world: with all it's glitter, glamour and mere money making mechanics, not many honest artists such as Anthony remain.

He will be missed by many...

True Love - what is it?


"I love you"...so easily said, yet, very few of us really understand love for what it is.

Love to some, is what you feel for a child, spouse or parent. To others, it is that tingly sensation when touching a lover for the first time, or the butterflies you feel at the pit of your stomach when he or she looks at you in a certain way. For most of us, love often 'hurts'.

When it 'hurts', it is not love. Love cannot hurt. Love is not a feeling. The 'feeling' of 'love' is something else entirely. Think about it: if you feel 'love', you feel a warm sensation in your chest; and when you 'hurt', you feel a nagging pain-like sensation in the same area - your chest. This also applies to excitement or fear, felt in the pit of the stomach; or when repressing sadness & anger, felt as 'pain' in the throat. Interestingly, these all coincide with the chakra or energy foci of the body (which in turn, coincide with local important neuro-endocrine structures) as well as to their attributes: according to ancient yoga and Tantric texts; the 'heart' chakra is the centre of expressing love and gratitude; the solar plexus chakra is the centre for motivation and ambition; and the throat chakra the centre for communicative expression. It seems then that - as the eyes, ears and other three senses of the body senses the physical universe around us from light to sound - the chakras sense more subtle energies. As we experience the narrow window of electro-magnetism (from 400 to 700 nm) & pressure differences in air (from 20 to 20 000Hz) as 'sight' and 'sound'; so we experience this sensing of subtle energies as 'emotion'.








Then just what IS love?

What we call 'love' is subtle energy flow from one being to another. When a person has the intention of absolute benevolence toward another being (from plant to person), subtle energy flows from the enfolded or 'spiritual' dimension through mind. This flow will be sensed as 'love' by your cardiac energy focus or chakra. The receiver of this benevolent energy (if sensitive enough) will also sense it with the same chakra, and respond accordingly to this 'positive' energy. When someone does the opposite, thus retrieve or take energy from another being or person; this will be felt as 'hurt'. This phenomenon can also be seen in water-crystal formation (as researchers Dr. Masaru Emoto et al. has shown).

Love is thus GIVE & RECEIVE; not TAKE. When you hug someone because you want to be loved, then you TAKE and do not GIVE. This is why so many will pull away from your hug: they can sense you TAKING from them. Love is when you hug someone to GIVE. Love is when your partner leaves you for another person; and you - instead of going on a rampage, destroying everything in your path due to a jealous rage - you let him or her go, and are happy for them. Yes, of course you will be sad and miss them; but love is letting go when the time is so. You are giving back to the universe this person that you shared a life with; and in return, you will receive something far greater when the time is right.

Can you do this? Do you love your partner, child or friend this much?

Love is subtle vibration from within, flowing through a beautiful mind. Anything else...is not.

Improving Relationships using Vibratory Harmony, Pt II


We continue with the concept of improving relationships using Vibratory Harmony - once understood, it will be so much easier applying it to daily life:

We understand that our universe as well as ourselves - as we are a seamless part of this universe - is an illusory ocean or symphony of vibration; ourselves being songs in this symphony. We understand this through the new concept of M-Theory, and the integration of this 'new' scientific thinking with the remarkable similarities to Kabbalah and Tantra (ancient scientific thinking).

Vibration

But what is vibration really? All the New Age guru's talk about it, but hardly ever explain it. Vibration is - in essence - variation in space-time, in all perceived and non-perceived dimensions. Vibration are waves; waves being the difference in illusory locality and frequency on an illusory timeline. Waves have amplitude or volume (strength), frequency (wavelength) and an 'envelope' or shape, which predetermines the look our sound of the manifested wave (as in sound, trumpet and piano waves 'look' different in their envelopes). In simpler terms: vibration and waves are ripples made by consciousness in a space-time dimension (like a stone shaping ripples in a pond).

But how dies this apply to you, you might ask. Well, the moment you were conceived, a part of consciousness (The One) that has the etheric and astral memories of your prior selves; extended or projected into the 3d dimension via your parents' combined DNA, and created a ripple, which expanded (not unlike the Big Bang - as above so below), shaping through 'time' the human being you are today. You are a conglomerate of complex projected vibration in space-time; your vibration constantly changing in response to 'outer' vibration (thus your perceived world), and 'inner' vibration (thus your multi-dimensional 'inner self' connected to Consciousness). In essence, your DNA is the originator 'sound' envelope (genotype), and will manifest a complex wave pattern in 3-dimensions perceived as your body (phenotype) - thus in 'movie' terms, your DNA is the film, your body is the projection and the light is consciousness. Cymatics* (the study of how sound changes the nature of our 'physical' world; thus the fermionic vibration of our universe) sheds more light on this.

Vibration in Relation

And how does this link with relationships? Relationships are just a limited word, thought out by yester-year man to describe the action-reaction phenomenon between vibratory life-forms such as yourself.

Think about it: when you see something, you perceive light vibration reflected from 'objects' (being vibration themselves). When you hear something, you perceive sound vibration as created by something (like a voice), created by another person, created by his or her thoughts. This stimulates your thoughts, and you react in return with a vibratory response in thought, movement and sound. This is how we 'relate' to one another.

When someone is upset (in reaction to outer stimuli), he or she will respond or react to this outer vibratory stimulus in a certain way that might not be in accord with you (remember harmony in music); in other words, this person's words and actions (thus rough outer creations of his or her thoughts) will 'clash' with yours. The two of you are thus 'singing' out of tune with one another, and will cause an unpleasant 'sound' or disharmony. When you understand this, you could change your own vibration to better suit the situation.

When anger is expressed (high amplitude and frequency wave), and in return, responded to with anger, the intensity of the wave will be increased two-fold due to super-imposing of the waves. This will be like an explosion. It is better to respond with the opposite of anger - a low frequency and low amplitude wave - cancelling the anger wave by superimposition. This is usually the feeling of what we call 'love'. Even the thought of love - thoughts being the original waveform - will calm the situation down.

But: what is love really? We often use the term Love; but mostly it is confused with jealous obsession leading to drama.

In the next post, I will discuss what love really is...
