Unity of Behaviour
Today’s topic is harmony. Everywhere you might think of, and more specifically anywhere you might go in your daily life, there is a constant broadcast of energy. The most obvious energy broadcasts in your environment would perhaps be sound, maybe after that sight. People speak, yell, scream and cry as whatever condition might lead them…

Harmonious Flow
Under most circumstances in the busy mall, people will maintain a basic sympathy with the balance of energy around them, but when someone doesn’t, they stand out like a sore thumb, as they say. Everyone falls into a shopping mall trance until the person, pushed to the edge by events that likely occurred before they…

Peace and War
I would like to invite someone to pick two seemingly opposed forces, and I will illustrate how they interact with each other in the world. War and peace? Ok, war. There has always been a force of conflict in the world; heat and cold, gravity and energy. Whatever you can consider, it has something that…

Life and Death Interact
So shall I do life and death? First, life. Life is a force in the world, and often acts in ways we find really rather vexing. Life is the mildew in your bathroom, the spider in your shoe, and the stomach infection you got from that bad burrito. It’s all life. Life by itself behaves…

Cycle of Harmony
Now the harmony, shall we? Reality as we know it is the interplay of a collection of forces. We explored war and peace, life and death. Each of these forces sets up a relationship with all other energies. They follow an order that can be called a harmony, but the cycle of harmony is not…

Threads of Tension
Harmony with mildew comes from understanding the way of tension with mildew. Why do you want to kill it? Why do other people kill it? These tensions in the mind have led to all manner of inventions, including finding a way to live in peace with an organism we were previously at odds with. Canines…

Your Personal Harmony
You are all very noisy people. Everyone is very noisy. Your entire system is constantly making sounds. These sounds have a harmony to them internally. The harmony of your internal sound arises from your process of perception. Harmony is the range of tones that are encompassed and expressed at the same time. This range is…

Hard Wired to Harmonize
Your nervous system picks up patterns of action potential through the mirroring nervous system. They have even found that when you observe someone with the intention to be able to reproduce the action they displayed, your brain activates the same regions as if you were literally doing it. Mirror neurons? Yes. They have found not…

Identity is Integral
Shall we risk taking a step away from normal human experience for a moment to do some deconstruction? This shows up in the case of autistics (which includes myself). Below your normal level of awareness (and in this case I mean neurotypicals) is the system they are calling the default mode network. This coupled with…

Express Your Bass Line
In music, what is the solution when the speakers are generating a lot of noise? When the reverb in your speakers is too bad, ruining the sound of your music, what do you do? Turn it down? Why do you turn it down? If I recall, let’s say you like your music loud, can the…

Feel the Beat
So I want a slow Friday afternoon, and then three things happen at once. They are disruptive because they are counter to my plan of having a slow Friday? They are disruptive because they are counter to your sense of the life around you. How many of you play video games? Or some other sort…

Rehearsal for Life Change
Shall we go into rehearsal? The rehearsal process is where new rhythms are set, and every song is ultimately written rhythm first and melody to flesh it out. So first, as you rehearse for life change, even if it’s a very small scale change, a little limerick or sales jingle, you first have to get the…
Category: Harmony
Harmony or disharmony is more about patterns of energy than principle reinforcers. If we could somehow filter out the real world as people feel they have come to know it, what you would have left are energies that radiate out into the space between their diverse origins. We take energy and paint a picture of the world with it. You can see each of these energies at play in the environment, even in situations that we don’t immediately associate with the pure energy itself.
Forces sets up a relationship with all other energies. They follow an order that can be called a harmony, but the cycle of harmony is not seamless. The harmonious force is always a whole level removed from the other force it harmonizes with. Reality has great depth. The way the higher forces resonate with the lower forces is by the bridge of dissonance. Harmony is always arrived at by a transitory tension. Are there any exceptions to this?
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi (Indian Philosopher, 1869-1948)
“Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.” Sallust
