Ask And You Shall Receive: Are We Priming Universe For More US Violence?
by Monica Davis
The older I get, the more I understand that what we think, and how we behave has a lot to do with how our world configures itself. That said, are we priming the universe for more school shooting violence? Are our anger and rage, and the attention we are giving this atrocity priming the primal universe for more of the same?
Nobel Prize winning physicists have proven beyond doubt that the physical world is one large sea of energy that flashes into and out of being in milliseconds, over and over again.
Nothing is solid.
This is the world of Quantum Physics.
They have proven that thoughts are what put together and hold together this ever-changing energy field into the ‘objects’ that we see.
So why do we see a person instead of a flashing cluster of energy?
Think of a movie reel.
A movie is a collection of about 24 frames a second. Each frame is separated by a gap. However, because of the speed at which one frame replaces another, our eyes get cheated into thinking that we see a continuous and moving picture. READMOREHERE
Our paradigm, the lens through which we view existence, is skewed. Skewed toward the inhumane, toward exploitation and manipulation.
The dominant human culture is currently organized around a “realist” worldview. This paradigm describes the universe as a collection of disconnected entities that share nothing intrinsically in common. This perspective has produced rampant problems. Environmental degradation, state-sponsored violence, terrorism, warfare, violence in schools, and unprecedented economic inequality are all clues that something is not in sync. Realism, both in theory and practice, does not seem to coordinate with the laws of nature. The concepts and practices of nonviolence present humankind with an alternative worldview—a worldview that considers the universe to be fundamentally interconnected. This paradigm seems to mimic nature much more accurately than realism. By examining a few of nature’s laws, we can see which perspective more wholly embodies the laws of nature. READMOREHERE
Unless and until we confront the monster of violence and refuse to feed it, it will gnaw on us like a rat on fresh meat.
