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

What we Love

 This is the longer version, for the short(er) one, please go here: What we Love on Lov3
 My point really is to somehow get you to watch the video (see below) with awareness and Love.

Just a few minutes ago I marveled at the human body – watching a dance performance on youtube – at the same time aware of how the amazing technology of today has made possible for everyone everywhere to partake in communities, culture, beauty and wonder like at no other time in recent history – and that there is a side to humans that is truly amazing. Whether you love poetry enough that you would not want to live without it, or film, art, pottery, sports, dance or architecture, love good music or marvel at the amazing technology giving someone who needs it a 3D printed new skull – whether you just love love love your family, your friends or superbowl or the exploration of space in true science – or just love LIFE – consider this:
“Simply replanting trees, is not replanting communities.”

In the Zen Garden

Yes, as much as we come together in groups, for communities, mutually supportive in when they work together … including the sangha of your spiritual path – consider what is said is this beautiful short film (just down below)

Maybe this IS the peak of human achievement we are experiencing at this time - and maybe the ONLY time  in history of this planet EVER for events like healing circles in the Prosperity Ashram  to be able to happen – because of the technology available to us today (oh – you too  can request a healing  at the Prosperity Path Forum here)

Our relatives, our family – Love – manifested – in the spirit of gratitude – for the Love of our earthly home. Without “nature” – flowers, trees, grasses, bubbling brooks, sound of ocean waves – and animals of all kinds – like the many songbirds in the spring – I would not even still be here.

I – the human and its resident soul -  owe nature any life  or worthwhile activity I can do today … and I love her – in all her beauty beyond words and AWESOMENESS – from gently spring rain,  to the blade of grass or little bug right here in front of me – I have been blessed. Then, if you you add the exploration made possible by technology …beyond words – and then, once you relearn even a little bit of high sense perception – wow – and without her – you’d not do or feel any of what YOU love.

Being in nature – there is love – it is simply there.

In the end, it really is all about waking up and learning how to move, about wonder and gratitude - for what in some tradition is called: the precious human birth. To view the destruction of  nature happening now with impartiality is difficult. It is what is happening however.

But this site is about what we love …and I love this earth home – I love nature – the birds and the bees and all that.

This is a good video – I do hope you watch it. I agree with the narrator:  the earth will regenerate, re-green – we don’t have to be part of it.
….. and Love is going to bring forth another form that recognizes it – self as that.

Namaste and Be Blessed 

What I believe

Some of you may have heard of bardo training, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, journey through the afterlife. Maybe you have heard of heaven and hell and purgatory. In any case, if our time after death were that easy a ride, why prepare for it, or train or this need for guidance? So I hear folks saying: free now - after an animal dies. And I wonder - free? Really? Ya, for the momentary clear light?  And then - karmic tendencies  - your habits - take over. I do not know what is really gonna happen, I do not know if animals have an easier time. What makes you think the next parallel world is gonna be a better one for them?  But here is what I believe - and I am not talking about the emptiness unchanging reality - I am referring to being in any  manifest existence anywhere, including voyaging.

I believe, that when you love someone or something, I mean really love in the deepest heart of heart, when you see someone's beingness and there is love - that it will stay with them forever, even if it all goes back to Source, G-D, the Absolute, the Great Being.  Love is a substance.  Maybe there are other influences that stay with us - but really, there is a realm where only Love can be - and I believe that that Love stays with the being that is loved - and (should it reincarnate) it is a gift and a guide and it makes the "life" anywhere else in any other universe better for that being (without defining "better"). This kind of love can only happen if you have opened your heart, when there is seeing and acceptance and a connection. In this kind of love the only thing you want is for that being to be happy, free and being who they essentially are -  to the fullest they can be - in this world, in any of these quantum universes - in the universal mind - and to fulfill their purpose for being (t)here.

That is what I believe.
