Dynamic Equilibrium
(Brought To You By,...)
There is a common phrase in the occult & new-wage communities. It goes something like this:
"One must learn to find balance in their lives, in all things."
Balance is
a lie.
In a state of balance, nothing moves, nothing grows, nothing
changes, nothing evolves.
Balance is Stasis.
Stasis is death.
All aspects of life are in a constant state of flux, with nothing existing in balance, any more than in a state of "complete vacuum". Even as an object sits, stationary, gravity is forcing down, while it's structure & support is pushing against. This state only exists as long as entropy allows, until the support collapses to a different ground state. In quick form: build a house of cards, and see how that, no matter how well you construct it, your balancing act never survives the week. The Weak never survive a balancing act. (Sorry: I couldn't resist the turn of phrase. ~L~)
Life, our bodies, even the very ecological environments we explore and examine, aren't, and never-will-be, in balance. External forces act upon any and every set of systems, and throw them the proverbial "curve-ball". Those that survive are stronger. Those that don't are cleared from the playing field, so the stronger have room to flourish.
A predator
eats a lot, and the prey breed faster. That is a dynamic equilibrium.
The gyro spins, and the axle doesn't fall, but rotates. That
is dynamic equilibrium.
You fall down, and you get back up. THAT is dynamic
equilibrium.
Our lives are in a constant state on minute death and decay, that produces an end-result of a net increase in energy and cell production. This arrangement of entropic effects, combining to produce a net growth that we call life, is a VERY dynamic equilibrium!
As humans we tend to look at the world as paired forces. We see positive & negative, masculine & feminine, yin & yang, pressure & vacuum, pleasure & pain, and on and on. If we're really inventive, we pat ourselves on the back when we delineate a "neutral" as a third option. There are in fact endless forms of force, perceived and invisible, and in differing levels, effecting everything, all the time. Something is always in motion, and applying force, to every object, all of the time.
The idea of Balance is a lie.
That being said, this motion, force, inertia, and more can be effected by the application of your will, your force, your intent.
The forces impinging on every object are all in varying vectors, and these vectors can be influenced, just as the location/momentum aspects of the "quantum cloud" we work with in probability modification. (Micro for electrical effects, Macro- , or "cumulative quantum states", for larger events & objects). By accepting, experiencing, and adjusting these vectors, we find the best ways of applying our influence to effect the greatest change with the least amount of effort.
A silly example, but one that best describes the concept:
Take a pair of underwear with a red smear on them, walk into a room, and drop it on the ground. If this room is a conference hall of psychiatrists, they'll look at you strangely, but won't offer to "help" you, without a consulting fee.
Take the RIGHT pair of Underwear (like the kind your cute boy-neighbor wears), with the Right Color Smear (that matches the other cute girl-neighbor's lipstick), and drop it in a room with The Cute Boy, the Cute Boy's WIFE, and The Cute Girl (at Christmas Dinner, no less), and the right tensions are played against, to achieve a very certain outcome (not to mention a great deal of shouting).
The people in the room have no proof of anything. Their own individual predilections discern a concept, and regardless of the fact that you just bought all the object, they all believe they re acting independently, while all in concert to a most definite outcome. In this case, that outcome is a "For Rent/For Sale" sign, a division of property, screaming, probable violence, police cars, noise, ...
...and everyone thinks they are acting uniquely.
Though every part moves in random directions, the application of directed force produces a direction. All of the chaotic motions balance-out to a vector of motion in a specific direction (in this case, anger & accusation).
Once the best angles are seen, a small degree of expenditure can have long lasting, and volcanic outcomes.
(I told you it was silly)
Now, remember
when we were working with coupling our temporal lobes to our auras, in the
Fill-The-Room exercises?
(Memo to self: Compose an Index for this Tutorial!)
Use this technique for meditating-on, and experiencing the motion-of objects: linear motion, fluid-motion, fire, convection, thermal changes in solids, even light & radio waves (The same thing, but thought-of differently).
Start with one force at a time, editing the rest out (you'll probably do this instinctively, as you develop). Try each TYPE of force & motion, one at a time. Develop a mental model for each, individually. Then, start working with your ability to plum more of the multi-form forces tugging on your target object. Incorporate The Sight, at the same time......
Did I give this Exercise
Already?
I Think I did, under Psycho-kinetics!
You should find more on it there!
