so

walls

Im totally enthralled by my new discovery of the energy view of life. Today I put a drop cloth next to a wall and noticed it would not drop next to the wall. Walls stop energy. They can be thin like cars in traffic that wont let you in or thick like any solid barrier. Even race can be a barrier. life arises from the solid barrier of the ground with the energy given to it by the sun. from there that which gives me life ascends to form the system that is me and when that energy loses its cohevsivness, the system of energy and matter will no longer exist as it was. But thats ok because in the next moment I could say the same thing. the history of a system must be considered an energy. Time is like a language. not enough of a discription of energy.

Today I took a walk through a park on the Huron River in Ann Arbor while paying close attention to my energy. When I like something I feel something like butter melting centered behind and below my eyes between my cheeks. A very positive sensation. If strong enough I turn my head slightly to enhance the energy with some more.



When curious It feels like like my mind is comming to a wall and pulling. When concentrating Its like focusing energy through a funnel. When talking with a pretty female I feel my energy pulling at her.

More and more often I think of myself as a system that is based upon the flow of energy. I see things about Tai chi, chi gong, chakras, lee lines and many other things that really just mistify me. I like Tai chi and respect it but many things that people write about such things just seem to be too subjective. I find very little likelihood of these things being useful or even correct. I am trying to find my own path because I have found that most people are unable to see the world for what it truely is. Most just think wishful thinking will bring a free ride. A friend of mine asked me If my ideas have any real use. I think it will help me to read people better. I may even learn to know my self better. How many times have I sent crossed signals or been misread? Clarity in communication is very handy..I am currently working in an area of Detroit MI with very high probability of violent crime. Awareness of the current environment could save me from many problems.

Systematic Thinking

What am I? This question is as old as humanity.

To answer this question I think we must start by looking for my boundaries. They define me in some ways. Physically, I would have to say that my physical existence extends to where my dna ends. Structures without my dna are not likely to be considered to be me. This could change as we evolve to integrate technology into our physical being but im talking about me at the present
time.

I just mentioned another boundary. Time. My past is no longer me and my future is not yet me.

Boundaries are a thing of perception and this is where scale takes priority. I am small. Iam large. Fast. Warm. I am a set of physical comparisons relative to other physical sets. Defined in relation to other things which are in turned defined by their relativity.

Which means I am a system. Which is part of a larger system and made up of many smaller systems. Systems which all have boundaries relative to energies.

Energy is what a system really is. Energies in many forms. Potential. Static. Positive. Many forms exist for energy and what really gets interesting to me is the connections. At the boundaries.

I think of what I am and realize that I am defined by my energies as much as by where my dna exists and the flow of time. I can learn to be more aware of my energy and my focus and distortions. The contacts of my systems and those of other systems of many scales, large and small, emergent things and unlikely inteligence in unexpected places.

Just by seeing in an honest way.
