A JOURNEY
TO WORLDS BEYOND WORDS
Imagine a ten-year-old boy, sitting
at his desk in a classroom. We'll call him Swhim (pronounced
as 'swim'). The teacher places a quiz, upside down, in front
of each student, and Swhim prepares paper and pencil.
Then, the teacher faces the class:
"You may turn over the questions and begin. Good luck".
Swhim's pencil is sharpened
at hand. He gazes at the questions and the empty white page
in front of him for an eternity. Suddenly, all the answers
crystallize instantaneously in his head, as he drifts off
into a quantum state. He barely manages to scribble the answers
onto the page before his pencil begins falling upwards. He
holds on to the pencil as it pulls him gently, out of his
body and straight up through the ceiling.
Swhim scratches his head:
That's odd.
But a calming voice inside him reacts: Hey, stuff happens.
The pencil takes him on a journey
above the school, out of the atmosphere and way beyond description.
Onward he passes the planets of our solar system one-by-one
simultaneously and after a few quick galactic excursions he
leaves the Milky Way.
It's just an incredible motion picture show with infinite
spacial effects.
Suddenly, he is drawn towards an immense negative star, spreading
black light over an increasing area of space. In an instant,
he is sucked into this dark vortex and experiences a most
enlightening
Just at that very moment, out
of nowhere, an awesome yet familiar voice grabs him: "Swhim,
get real!" and pulls him back in time.
Dazed, Swhim reluctantly
plays his quantum journey backwards, in order to pinpoint
where he is and how to rejoin his body. The last thing he
sees, as he rewinds reality, is a scribbled page. Finally,
the eyelids are raised and his eyes make an observation of
the gloomy objective reality. To his utmost amazement while
he traversed the cosmic plains of space out there,
time over here almost stood still. Certainly the page
was all white and the pencil still sharp. Indeed, he wasn't
even aware of the questions.
(Let's
pause for a brief self-definition break
)
In the preceding
Quantum event, a boy named Swhim applied two of his
senses (measuring devices) to interact with the 'outside world'.
Swhim's hearing interacted with his teacher, followed
by Swhim's vision, which interacted with the great
white page.
Our senses portray an objective reality. Or, do they?
In fact, the measuring devices we are equipped with, are designed
to deliver five types of sensations, all with a very limited
range. Indeed, it is the inherent nature of the measuring
device itself that dictates the objective reality, which unfolds
through our interactions. Absolute hearing would free up some
resources at SETI but overwhelm us with cosmic chatter. While,
perfect vision would reveal a subatomic zoo and eliminate
our separate objects reality, causing us immense see-sickness.
Our objective reality is apparently
an attribute of the restrictions and deficiencies incorporated
into our measuring devices.
Or simply, reality is a figment of our own measurement.
Unsatisfied with
such a predicament, the age-old quest to solve the riddle
of what is really out there? and what are we really
made of in here? fuels science, which in turn, maintains
a symbiotic feedback relationship with technology. Indeed,
technology allows us to forge ahead, beyond the inherent limitations
of our own original (objective) measuring devices and into
an increasingly subjective realm. However, the more we progress
and perfect our measuring devices the less we can communicate
our observations objectively (i.e. in human language). Finally,
our objects defy measurement as we become one with the experiment.
In fact, science, after years of intense exploration of the
'truth', has returned to us with the definitive Quantum oxymoron:
the Uncertainty Principle (quite a long empirical journey
to discover that all is uncertain in principle!). Hence, we
have to admit that objectivity has fallen victim to the relentless
pursuit of measurement and a transcendent realm has emerged.
WHETHER OUR
VISION IS BLURRED
OR JUST NOT SURE WHAT WE'VE HEARD
IT'S THE WAY
WE'VE MEASURED
THAT PORTRAYS THE ABSURD.

Most of the time the I keeps
to itself, in the blissful realm of connected Oneness. Sporadically,
however, out of nowhere, in a defining moment of creativity,
a bright -dea drops on the I -- a spontaneous
What-if (Wi) crack in the What-is --
unzips the I, and reveals a
Y.
The proliferation of the
Wi pattern is instant -- a single what-if breeds strings
of what-ifs in an expanding range of potentialities.
It's like opening a can of wormholes in the what-is.
This spark of creativity -- a String-of-TE
(thought-emotion), a Swhim (subjective-whim)
pattern of the One -- emerges out of the playful, whimsical
musing of what is a Zero to One, and forms a point
of reflection, a viewpoint that in turn, manifests a multitude
-- a world. Or simply,
in the beginning, before there was something,
One would imagine there was nothing.
In short, it is a process where 'nothing matters'.
When The One
Has Some Fun
Musing The None,
The Wi Naught
Forms A Thought
And Emotion Knot.

We could call it the All Y
or perhaps, the Y'all, however, we'll refer to the
theoretical recipient of all our Whys, as the
(pronounced just as 'wise').
The setting for the
Swhim pattern is a dream world where, through subjective internal
self-reflection, an objective external Y-realm emerges.
Such are the Wi's cracks
of the .
