Introduction
At that moment, I felt like I vanished into a single point in the infinite vastness of the universe. This experience was so powerful that it brought me to tears and ignited in me a burning desire to understand the nature of reality and existence.
My obsession led me to study Physics at Glasgow University. I’d specialise in the field of photonics (the physics of light) and would undertake over 30 years of personal research. My work in photonics was mainly around producing, detecting, and utilising frequencies of energy both inside and outside of the spectrum of light visible to the human eye.
Through my personal research, I came to understand that there’s a simple, yet fundamental flow of reality that underlies the laws of Physics and our human experience. It’s something so basic and pervasive that once I saw it for myself, I started to see evidence of it everywhere. Sometimes, this reality — and its implications — are referred to as hidden or secret knowledge. However, if someone has a genuine and strong-enough desire to understand, they eventually will, one way or another, with their own unique perspective.
Terminology
Firstly, Duality. Duality is simply the idea of there being a pair of things. The simplest duality is that of there being two objects. Other examples of duality are inside/outside, up/down, hot/cold, separate/together, positive/negative, and male/female. Along with duality naturally comes the idea of Relativity. Something is hot relative to something being cold.
The two objects are, therefore, in balance with respect to temperature, and the hot/cold duality has been neutralised. Local imbalance occurs when things are looked at in isolation, when we’re not looking at them in their totality. For example, the universe, when viewed in its totality, is in a perfect state of balance with all dualities balancing themselves out; however, when a part of it is viewed in isolation, one part may be hotter than another part, causing an imbalance of temperature relative to these two parts.
The Absolute state is where even the duality of there being more than one thing has been transcended. Even the thought of it being “one thing” implies that there’s a reality of “two things” for it to be relative to. However, that does not accurately describe the Absolute. It can be given many names, such as pure awareness, Cosmic Consciousness, Source, the Absolute, Universe, God, or the Tao.
Physics, Duality & The Absolute
The Bubble and the Sphere
The sphere has a special property not shared by any other shape. It’s the only shape in perfect balance.
The spirals seen throughout nature and spiral galaxies occur due to the natural tendency of a source radiating energy outwards or bringing energy inwards in a balanced way with its environment. If there’s not equal energy radiated from all points, the source may spin to radiate energy in a balanced way in that axis.
Once motion occurs due to the imbalance of forces, it will inevitably find a state of balance once the force has stopped being applied. Newton’s second law could also be stated this way: The greater the magnitude of the energetic field in balance between what’s radiated and what’s received by a body, the greater the amount of energy that needs to be applied to move it or bring it out of balance.
Looking at it in terms of duality and balance, we can see that the duality in this situation is of density. The balloon at ground level has a lower density inside itself than outside. So, the imbalance is that whereas the density inside is lower, the density outside is higher. The balloon, therefore, rises until it reaches a point of balance (density inside = density outside). At this point, the duality has ceased to exist and reality has returned to a state of balance.
Thermodynamics
For that, we need to look at a closed system, which is a system where no energy can enter it or leave
Time and the Absolute In the realm of the Absolute, there’s no duality or relativity and therefore no time in terms of before-and-after. But in our lives, we experience a flow of time from before to after. Psychologically, we have a memory of prior experiences, and physically, our bodies even have “physical memory”.
