I'll be carbon then - if nobody else fancies doing it...?"</font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">This is a rough metaphor to describe a sensation I had as the Salvia effect began to wear off.  I use the word 'carbon' just to represent some kind of elemental structure - not necessarily carbon - but something of that ilk.</font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">It was as if, in the movement from higher dimensional space back down to the lower, something which was unified in the higher, split off, or condensed out, to form something unique, discreet, and particular, such as carbon.</font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">There was also another sensation that the 'carbon-ness', or the particular and unique qualities of that undefined elemental unit - were kind of arbitrary - in that, the higher dimensional object could just as easily have adopted different characteristics and become, say, hydrogen.  In fact - that's exactly what other aspects of it did.  Thus carbon and hydrogen were somehow reconciled in higher dimensional space.</font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">The 'arbitrary' qualities of that uniqueness also seemed like a form of <em>illumination</em>.  As if there are undefined non-existent potential particles, which under some strange illumination, lit-up into existence as carbon particles... </font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3"> ...Imagine a darkened room with dust particles floating in the air - imagine too that the dust particles do not exist since they are in a state of darkness.  Then we shine a green torch into the room, and green particles suddenly exist, or we shine a red torch into the room, and red particles suddenly exist....</font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">It was as if <em>matter was illuminated into existence. </em></font></span></p> <p><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">But as to who the great torch holder was - I'm not sure...!</font></span></p> <p align="center"><span class="085181412-22052002"><font size="3">-/-</font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">Another interesting consequence of the illumination of matter into existence/torch in a room analogy is the way in which those elemental structures were seen to move.</font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">As a torch beam moves around in a dusty room - we are familiar with the stationary aspect of the room, and the stationary aspect of the particles themselves (let's say there's no air currents flowing round the room) - so it is the light beam that is seen to move.</font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">Without those reference points, we could be forgiven for thinking that the particles themselves  were moving through space as the light beam moved.</font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">The elemental structure was illuminated into existence, out of non existence, at point 'A', but to get to point 'B' - it would not move there... </font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">Instead - the beam of illumination moved to point 'B', the particle at point 'A' would slip back into non-existence - and a 'new' particle at 'B' would be illuminated into existence.</font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">Thus - the elemental structure would be seen to move through space and time - but in fact - what its doing is slipping into non-existence, and at the same time, another non-existent potential particle is illuminated into existence at another location.</font></span></p> <p><span class="022320613-22052002"><font size="3">And maybe this means that objects don't actually move, but are illuminated into existence into slightly different locations in rapid succession...</font></span></p> </blockquote> <hr> <table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="21%"> <p align="left"><a href="../../scienceandreligion/psychology/psychologyproof.html#end"><Back to Proof</a></td> <td width="16%"> <p align="center"><a href="../../scienceandreligion/psychology.html">Psychology</a></td> <td width="17%"> <p align="center"><a href="../../scienceandreligion.html">S&R Menu</a></td> <td width="16%"> <p align="center"><a href="../../menu2.html">Menu 2</a></td> <td width="16%"> <p align="center"><a href="../../home.html">Main Menu</a></td> <td width="15%"> <p align="right"><a href="../../contact.html">Contact</a></td> </tr> </table> </body>
