Electricity and magnetism - what is the difference?

This morning while  doing breakfast prep at 5:20 am I was cutting some celery and as soon as I was done there was a good morning greeting - together with a comment about how in restaurant kitchens you never address someone who is cutting something. That makes sense to me, and if I were running a restaurant, I'd certainly would want that to be one of the guidelines and adhered to.
What followed was a question, but how it arose, I don't know. The question is:

Q: Do you know the difference between electricity and magnetism?

Still doing breakfast prep, I quickly ascertained that I don't know nearly enough and what little can to mind   fast enough to give any kind of answer was basically: nothing -  and said: not really.

A: You can't see either one.

I laughed, ya, right .... and then this:


Why don't you write a blog about that?
Me: a blog?
Yes, see where it takes you.

The suggestion having come from E.J. Gold - I decided to follow up on it....even though I seem to be frighteningly simple-brained in the last couple of years.

I remembered the question and task a couple of times during the day while working on a coup addition and a mini shed ...and neither time did anything worthwhile come to mind.

So here I am, ...and I am going to go finish taking care of the fish for the night before continuing....

...ok, back

So - nothing could be further from my mind than refreshing my memory on the definitions, effects or differences of either electricity or magnetism, .... ok, not nothing, but that just isn't gonna happen.

I am more intrigued by the paradox ...kinda like: the difference appears to be the same, and - this:  you can't see either one.

Talking about "things" -  forces -  ...which you can't 'see"

This seeing of  it - brings up what it is we see, are able to see, are conditioned to see, have defined as seeing, could possibly see with high sense perception ...but whatever we can "see" is in any case so so "nanomiscally" limited - if not an illusion our brain created .... but that is a whole different story.

At the same time, even though in this reality we see, or, as the case is here - don't see - we nonetheless can experience the effects of those forces, we can study them, use them and explain happenings ...

Just because you don't see something - does not mean it is not there - or here...and it does not mean it is not affecting you.

So then - LOVE - just because you can't see it, or, for that matter, feel it or otherwise perceive it, does not mean it is not here right NOW - here ...as pervading and present as electricity and magnetism

....ya ...LOVE ...  the x-force of the multiverses.

Love is a force I recently heard

hm.....
we are able to harness some of the power of the electro and magnetic forces ....
a hint of excitement
what if?
how?

This reminds me also of where I was many many years ago when I claimed the purpose of this lifetime to be - to learn to love - but for real .....whatever that meant ....

...there is light shining through a tiny crack of what seems to be a doorway ...and I notice some anxiety in my chest at the prospect of it opening further ....and yet, sooner or later ...going there is inevitable

...there is more, but as often, another journey is just beginning....it happenes to be tied with a different level of will, groundedness, awareness and...something else.

...we are all getting older after all ...:)

Be blessed
