Grow Your Planetary Intelligence--Pay Attention to Subtle Forces and Empty Spaces

The mechanistic paradigm, the idea that the universe is a huge machine, teaches us that big causes create big effects, and small causes create small effects. This is the idea of linear causation or proportionality and is the foundation of our modern world-view. It encourages us to focus on “bigness:” that is the importance of material things over energy, size over quality, speed over completeness. From this perspective, you might as well spend your energy accumulating as much stuff as possible because the winners are “those who die with the most toys.” However, one of the discoveries of research into zero-point energy is that empty space has substantially more energy than objects or solid space. In fact, it is said that a single cubic meter of empty space has more potential energy in it than all the objects you can see around you for 20,000 light years. This gargantuan quantity of potential energy lies in the vacuum between sub-atomic particles and we don't yet have the technology, at least not officially, to harness it. Yet zero-point energy is visible all around us in the behavior of liquid water. What makes water fluid yet “sticky” is the attraction of zero-point energy between the hydrogen atoms in different water molecules. Without this subtle zero-point attraction, life as we know it wouldn't be possible. So this subtle, “weak” vacuum-effect creates the conditions for biological life. Similarly, weak forces all around us create attractive forces that allow for communications, information, and self-organization. Instead of focusing your attention on the loudest, the biggest, and most energetic phenomena around you, take time to look at seemingly irrelevant things, objects, and processes. Focus on the space between objects rather than on the objects themselves. This will give you another perspective on the living energy fields around you and how to use your intelligence to interact with them.
