Oneness...Unity...Reality...

The world is indeed a living being endowed with a soul and intelligence…a single visible living entity containing all other living entities, which by their nature are all related… ~ Plato (Anima mundi) http://www.twitter.com/MYNZAHhttp://www.mynzahosiris.wordpress.comhttp://www.instagram.com/mynzah/http://www.facebook.com/Mynzah/

[whats-in-a-sentence]

They realized that before the Higgs ocean formed, not only did all the force particles have identical masses – zero – but the photons and W and Z particles were identical in essentially every way as well.¹⁰

10. The mathematically inclined reader should note that the photons and W and Z bosons are described in the electroweak theory as lying in the adjoint representation of the group SU(2) × U(1), and hence are interchanged by the action of this group. Moreover, the equations of the electroweak theory possess complete symmetry under this group action and it is in this sense that we describe the force particles as being interrelated. More precisely, in the electroweak theory, the photon is a particular mixture of the gauge boson of the manifest U(1) symmetry and the U(1) subgroup of SU(2); it is thus tightly related to the weak gauge bosons. However, because of the symmetry group's product structure, the four bosons (there are actually two W bosons with opposite electric charges) do not fully mix under its action. In a sense, then, the weak and the electromagnetic interactions are part of a single mathematical framework, but one that is not as fully unified as it might be. When one includes the strong interactions, the group is augmented by including an SU(3) factor – "color" SU(3) – and this group's having three independent factors, SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1), only highlights further the lack of complete unity. This is part of the motivation for grand unification, discussed in the next section: grand unification seeks a single, semi-simple (Lie) group – a group with a single factor – that describes the forces at higher energy scales.

We should never lose sight of the fact that each small part of the environment is connected with other parts and together they make an interrelated whole.

Someone I sought out for help, in secret (only my brother knew) back in the fall of 2022, told me many things… we talked for hours in person. I had never met her before but I knew I needed to talk to her.

I’d never talked to someone like her before.

I wasn’t sure what I needed help with but that I needed help. (I didn’t know my whole life was about to change - I couldn’t anticipate what would happen later that month)

I told her how much in love I was with my ex-spouse and my other ex-partner (I was in partnership with both of them at the time - neither knew what was about to happen). How much I cared for my friends, and then… I talked about them (not my ex-spouse or my ex-partner) - and my writings.

We talked about what mattered finally but I desperately wanted to cut cord and ties with them… and subsequently my writings.

My life was shattering, and I felt lost. I wanted to stay married so badly, and it had nothing to do with them.

It had EVERYTHING to do with me. My cycles. My need to help my mother and brother. My desperate hold I had on the life I thought I knew. The abuse I was hiding….

—

But when I talked to her and listened to the recording of our conversation (I had permission to record)… I realized that I was finally finding myself again.

—

She told me I was a writer. She was so sure.

She told me, I needed to write for myself. Not for them, but for myself and then the world.

She told me I was over giving, and I didn’t need to be.

She told me that I was seen - and while I understood her words, I didn’t internalize them until later.

She told me that they were doing the best they can with what they had - despite the silence we felt from their being. Why did I feel silence and a deafening roar all at the same time? The silence was eating away at me.

She told me to be honest with them and what I wanted - and if they didn’t want that or couldn’t engage, that I SHOULD end it and I wouldn’t be so heartbroken. That didn’t happen - it ended stupidly and badly, and I was heartbroken and shattered once again - there was a better way, but I was too scared to do it right.

—

And yet, even after release after release, after cord cuttings, after completely transforming my life, then transforming it again… after shedding and planning to shed more…

I am trying to still get over them.

I dated other people! I focused on myself! I healed and am still healing from my past relationships! I felt my emotions - I’ve been feeling so hard.

I am trying so hard. I told you to come correct yesterday, and today, you came correct in my mind and brought an avalanche of ideas and memories of my past - I started reading stuff I wrote back in high school again. All sorts of stuff.

But I don’t even know you, we don’t talk, you don’t even fucking like me, you have never told me you valued me, you don’t love me, and here I am: pining over you.

We never even had the type of relationship I was looking for.

I didn’t even think I’d feel so strongly.

Nothing we talked about indicated a long-term partnership - yet I want everything with you.

Am I not better than this? I have a life!!!! I have an entire fucking life with a job, hobbies, lovers, friends, healing, etc. I might be pregnant!! I don’t clinically know yet!! And if I’m not, do you know that I want you to do it with me? Do you even know that?Do you even want a family? Would you even drop everything and figure out a life with me?! Well?

If you want to be in my head so much, then why the fuck aren’t you here?! Why aren’t you in bed with me holding my hand?!

—

So now I know I’m a writer for sure. There’s no denying it. I don’t even care if I’m good or not. It is what I want to do.

I know so deeply within myself - it’s all I’ve been doing, it’s the majority of what I live for now.

"It really boils down to this: that all life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality. "~Martin Luther King JR. (1929-1968)

Okay let's put this stupid semantics argument to bed right now:

Judaism is not Zionism, obviously, because Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people and Zionism is an amalgamation of political beliefs supporting the idea of Jewish self-determination in eretz Yisrael. They are two different things. Obviously.

However, you cannot separate Zionism from Jewish identity and Judaism, because Zionism is fundamentally a political ideology created by Jews, for Jews, and about Jews.

You also can't separate Jewish identity and Judaism from Zionism, because while the notion of statehood is contemporary, the longing to return to eretz Yisrael and end the Jewish people's exile has been a foundational part of rabbinic Judaism since 70 CE.

Bottom line: they are two distinct concepts that overlap substantially and you cannot talk about them as if Zionism is totally foreign and unrelated to Judaism or vice versa in good faith, but neither can you 100% conflate them.

This is like when pregnancy discrimination was allowed on the grounds that not every single woman is pregnant or will become pregnant (and also we know that not everyone who becomes pregnant is a woman) and therefore it's somehow not sex discrimination and you don't have to factor in misogyny and sexism into the conversation.

You can't talk about Zionism without talking about Jews, Judaism, and antisemitism, but also, if you bring up Israel/Palestine every time a Jew is publicly Jewish, guess what that makes you? (Hint: It's antisemitic.)

kinda thrilled to learn that exactly 90 years before I was born Mahler was wishing death on a colleague when he suddenly remembered he was supposed to be nice to his wife

Oneness...Infinity...Service To Others...

What a wonderful relation do we establish with a human being when in spite of their limitations we see their Infinity! But if we merely consider them as an object of intellectual curiosity, a fixed number in static statistics, or even as a mere machine whose work we can buy and sell, we degrade both them and ourselves… ~ Juan Mascaro (The…

TV drowns out contemplation

12/18/2016 Sunday 2:29am

 I woke up and can’t get back to sleep due to a combination of Egg Nog on the drive home from Stockton and eating chicken (started a fire last night in the living room fireplace and baked a chicken on arrival home at 6pm) and peanut butter before bed—

UP!

CLOCKS TICK.

THE REFRIGERATOR RUMBLES

THE HEATER JUST SHUT OFF.

I had interesting, powerful dreams. Pretty much a good feeling to them. Unsure now of their content.

If I had a TV, I might turn it on now. Just to see what was playing at the crest of a week. Since I don’t have a TV, I’ll be content with quiet edited by the clock’s tick.

TV drowns out contemplation. TV provides meaning. It becomes meaning. Without TV, meaning arrives of it’s own accord.

Note 6/25/2024

I haven’t had TV in the house since 2015. Instead now I blog . I call it Lew TV.  Via the blog, I broadcast out my own little TV “shows”. Each blog is a story. And, unlike conventional TV in which I am a passive receiver, on my blog platform, I communicate with other bloggers. Their blogs influence the direction of my blog stories.
