Thanks! I am super grateful. This subject is very important. I am interested in your ideas about how to apply this knowledge to improve life for yourself and others. I have always been passionate about learning how to utilize the science built-in to God's creation.
I know my post may look like a lot of numbers, but the one important thing from all of this is that there is definitely incontrovertible proof there is a Divine order in all that we see, smell, hear, and touch. If you examine closely any living thing in Nature, like a flower and its disk florets, or a conch shell or horn, the pattern of toroidal spirals are everywhere. Seeing this brings comfort and reassurance to know that all life follows the same exact Divine Order provided by God. We only need to observe Nature and it's immutable Order to realize the existence of God.
“Because the thing known of God is clearly known in them, for God revealed it to them. For the unseen things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and Divine Nature, for them to be without excuse.” - Romans 1:19-20.
The Italian theologian, Thomas Aquinas, recognized the Natural Law as -- "nothing else than the rational creature's participation in the Eternal Law."
Eternal law is defined as those laws governing the eternal universe. As Dimock phrased it, one can *"think of eternal law as comprising all those scientific 'laws' (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, etc.) by which the universe is ordered." *Indeed, the Law of Nature is subject to the Eternal Law, but this doesn’t tell us what the Law of Nature is. As Aquinas noted:
“The natural law is a participation of the eternal law … and therefore endures without change, owing to the unchangeableness and perfection of the Divine Reason, the Author of nature. But the reason of man is changeable and imperfect: wherefore his law [human law] is subject to change.”
“[E]very human law has just so much of the nature of law as is derived from the law of nature. But if in any point it deflects from the law of nature, it is no longer a law but a perversion of law".
Surprisingly, very little is found for a detailed cataloging of Nature’s Laws. Emphasis tends to convey man’s moral law as it is related to nature. Yet, we know from the early Greeks their philosophy was greatly premised on Nature’s Laws and to them it was self-evident; a manifestation that all understood. Alas, this is not so in the modern era. Instead, the axiomatic truth has been abandoned for our preoccupation with wealth and our own self-centeredness. Poetic visionaries as Percy Bysshe Shelly recognized:
"The man
Of virtuous soul commands not, nor obeys:
Power, like a desolating pestilence,
Pollutes whate'er it touches, and obedience,
Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,
Makes slaves of men, and, of the human frame,
A mechanized automaton"
The Law of Nature is the law of the all Life in its specific forms. Nature's Law addresses conception, infancy, adolescence, adulthood, mating, parenting, self-defense, migration, aging, to death. This rai·son d'ê·tre for survival (self-preservation) is instinctual for all life forms, but not necessarily for humans. For us, it is something else; ... it's something more.... It is based on our ability to recognize, and to acknowledge it is our Creator that has provided all of this to us. The opportunity is now for us all to recognize this. Our self-preservation depends on us recognizing the Creator as the author of our existence. Despite what some advocates state, we don't have the animal instinct to survive. Its [über]-understanding is critical for our continued existence and should always be respected and upheld. Nature's Laws provide us the guide for survival - those principles of the 'living breath' or 'pneuma' that govern all life forms, including mankind himself. In the Bible, the English translation is -- holy Spirit. There is a reason for me using the Greek translation, which I provided below. The original Greek translation provides great insight to understanding what is meant by the holy Spirit.
The Law of Nature is subservient to the Eternal Law, which is comprised of the Golden ratio and displays itself through the Fibonacci sequence and the reoccurring pattern of the toroid found throughout our world, solar system, galaxy and universe. Our galaxy, the Milky Way is now recognized as a spiral galaxy (toroidal actually).
The word - Spirit is defined in the bible via Strong's, Thayers, and Liddel-Scott-Jones from the Greek and translated as 'pneuma' (G4151), which is defined as -- “a movement of air; a gentle blast (a) of the wind, hence the wind itself (b) breath of nostrils or mouth.” The word “psuche” (G5590) is defined in Strong’s Concordance as the following:
(1) breath (a) the breath of life (i) the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing of animals (ii) of men (b) life, (c) that in which there is life (i) a living being, a living soul
(2) the soul (a) the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions (our heart, soul etc.) (b) the (human) soul in so far as it is constituted that by the right use of the aids offered it by God it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness, the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life (c) the soul as an essence which differs from the body and is not dissolved by death (distinguished from other parts of the body). The word “psuche” (G5590) is derived from “psucho” (G5594), which means “to breathe, blow, cool by blowing.” Note, the same concept is found with the word “spirit,” or in Greek -“pneuma” (G4151), which is “a movement of air; a gentle blast (a) of the wind, hence the wind itself (b) breath of nostrils or mouth.”
“Pneuma” is derived from the Greek word “pneo” meaning -- “blow,” “wind.” The same relationship is found with “aer” (G109), which is derived from “aemi” - to breathe unconsciously, i.e. respire; by analogy, to blow. One can get an understanding of how the word “spirit” -- (pneuma), “air” – (aer), and (psuche).
So, 'Spirit', as in holy** Spirit or [holy] Spirit is better understood. **The word 'holy' was a added by the patristic translators to differentiate 'spirit' from the Spirit.
I love all you wrote. I saved it, so I can digest it more fully.
This is good.... “The natural law is a participation of the eternal law … and therefore endures without change, owing to the unchangeableness and perfection of the Divine Reason, the Author of nature. But the reason of man is changeable and imperfect: wherefore his law [human law] is subject to change.”
“[E]very human law has just so much of the nature of law as is derived from the law of nature. But if in any point it deflects from the law of nature, it is no longer a law but a perversion of law".
Have you ever read Shrodinger's Cat or read Shrodinger's Kittens? Each book goes through the history of derivations of quantum physics equations. They are missing so much of the truth in "eternal law" you describe, but are still very interesting.
"Have you ever read Shrodinger's Cat or read Shrodinger's Kittens?"
Its been a while. What's ironic I just got done talking to my son about the significance of the toroid in all matter and how the numbers 2, 4, 8. 7. 5. 1 represent a circuit that is influenced dimensionally by 3. 6. and 9. I used the atom and the electron cloud as an example stating Schroedinger's equation explains the probability of a where an electron is at an present moment. In physics class I derived it, and postulated to the prof that the reason the position of an electron can never be located is because it slips in and out of a different dimensions. I was correct in my assessment.
"Each book goes through the history of derivations of quantum physics equations. They are missing so much of the truth in "eternal law" you describe, but are still very interesting."
Electro-mechanics is like this and the science only recognizes one side of the toroid, not the complete circuit. This is what Tesla understood through electricity and Schauberger through water.
Here are a couple examples of learning to use science.
I went to a class to learn to bend spoons with my mind. The same teaching method was used in 100 classes, with 100 people in each class, back in the 70's by McDonald and Douglas Corp. 70% of us can do it. My teacher was a volunteer during those studies.
The technique is to hold a heavy-duty spoon by its neck. Then, with eyes closed, imagine the energy all around you. Then imagine compressing it into a ball the size of a baseball above your crown. Feel the heat of it on your head, see the brightness in your imagination.
Then, imagine moving it through your head, behind your face, into your throat. Re-imagine its heat being felt, and it's brightness in your neck. Then move it through your shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist...re-imagining it's heat and brightness at each joint. Imagine moving it into your fingers. Keep doing that for 10 minutes.
Then open your eyes and yell at the spoon to bend (or at least think it), with all the passion and intention you can muster. (I know that sounds silly, but everyone else in the class did it, too.)
Then hold the spoon at both ends and try to twist it into a spiral or circle at the neck. At first it will feel impossible. Then, all of the sudden it just... gives, so you twist it before it firms up again.
The purpose of this exercise is not to ruin your silverware, but to learn to move energy with your imagination. A few years later I had two wrist surgeries. During the painful rehab task of regaining my motion, I used this technique daily. (I no longer needed to yell at my wrist to bend..Haha..because I got good at just sending the intention.) It worked. But, if you don't believe me, at the very least, this exercise teaches us to focus and reduces stress.
Sometimes I use this technique by putting my hand on whatever body part ails me, while I pray God will send his healing, creative vibration...and I always give him the glory, for it is HIS science, after all.
What else could we do to utilize the science of God's creation for our betterment? I am hungry to learn more.
There is a specific yoga practice called Shambavi, taught only at the Isha Foundation which has an amazing result! It is not a religious thing...thank goodness, since I am a Christian and wouldn't want to dive into Hinduism. It balances mind, body, emotion, and energy...like aligning 4 tires of a car, so the car can finally move forward freely. Or, it is like turning an antenna toward the signal...finally able to efficiently receive it.
Shambavi trains the more non-physical part of yourself (which still does follow science, but is not known by our 5 senses) to be utilized. The result is a keenly aware, alert, responsiveness, helpfulness, and ability to operate in this world with more intention and ease. It reorganizes our energy...and our wiring, even.
When I went to the program, my roommate was the head of the Purdue psychology department. There was also a neurosurgeon, a naturopath, and a nutritionist taking the program. The testimonies were phenomenal...especially for stress reduction, anxiety, and ADHD...and more.
Interesting. Can you point me in the right direction to learn more?
..."the right use of the aids offered it by God it can attain its highest end and secure eternal blessedness"
This is my focus and passion. Applying the science God provided us in his creation to become more alert (as opposed to being lost in the illusions of the mind), present, observing, non-judging (resting in acceptance of the unalterable inevitability of each single moment without all the mind games of regret, fear, blame, worry, pride, etc), then creating what we want to experience next...learning that the vibration composing love is matched to the perfect science of creation, thus health and joy.
Have you heard of the Gandarva (sp?) Experiment? Someone developed a machine that could record a frequency linked to the emotion of love. Big suprise!...it is the same vibration as the heart chakra. So, why not reverse the idea and soak your body in that heart vibration. Wouldn't that be a way to apply the discovery of this vibrational truth? The applied vibration would vibrate the mass, which would alter the vibration composing the mass, which would manifest the mass differently than it was.
Some would use the vibrations of a tuning fork or pitch-perfect bowl, a yoga pose or yoga movement, or even a candle or incense for the application of this heart vibration. That is good...but I think it is even more effective to just sit with my attention in my heart...remembering how we are eternal, so nothing can really be lost or taken in this existence. We have abundance in God and forgiveness in Christ...no matter our circumstances. I remember that, than I just pay attention to the heart area for a while. The result is an expansive feeling, a greater communion with God, less tendency to be offended by others, more willingness to forgive, and more assuredness that we can create in this world (in God's will), using his science (faith).
Shifting focus from the head (just full of stories) is such a liberating thing to do. In my opinion, the brain produces waste products, just like every other organ. We process our experiences, retrieving any lessons, wisdom, and knowledge we can, but eventually, there is nothing left bust waste. We certainly do not need to carry that around with us! So, I try to create a little space between my "eternal being" and my mind...keeping the focus in my heart while I observe my thoughts, emotions, compulsions, preferences, successes, failures, traits, experiences, etc. Very liberating!
An analogy that helps me is to think of garden gloves. We wear them, but we are not them. We are Spirit. We are the hands animating the garden gloves. If we are under the illusion that the gloves ARE us, then we freak out if they get dirty. No. Our hands are fine as we create in the garden. Some say this would be burying emotion. No. It is the opposite. Without the suffering caused by believing our thoughts and emotions are "us", we can pay close attention, accurately, and with love.
Since I believe the vibration God created manifests itself as our bodies and our environment, and since I believe intention with expectation and joy (faith) can alter vibration, then, of course, we can manifest changes in ourselves and in our environment. This is what I like to study and practice.
If I was as scientifically astute as you, I would develop tools to utilize this knowledge you have shared to help mankind better itself. Your posts are extremely interesting to me. I do understand them, but not fully enough to mold them into something I can apply. For sure, the science does buckle our knees, motivating us to worship a mighty God. That alone is a tremendous gift.
Please do share more.
