Fusion Anomaly Dot Com

 

 

Dear Jerry, Hi again,

 

I came across a really interesting website, a science/nondual

collection

of links and quotes that you might find interesting. It's packed

with links.

The website is called:

 

 

Fusion Anomaly Dot Net

 

http://fusionanomaly.net

 

Here are some clips from it --

 

Indra

 

Indra (în´dre) noun

Hinduism.

A principal Vedic deity associated with rain and thunder.

 

The Rig-Veda has about 250 hymns to Indra. Indra's Net is a net

with a jewel at each intersection, each jewel reflecting all the

other jewels of the net. Indra's Net is a symbol of the internet,

and can symbolize other interconnected systems, even Many-Worlds of

lattice spacetime.

 

As the being whose thunderbolts reveal the light of the sun and

release waters to flow to the ocean, Indra could symbolize the

Vela X supernova.

 

 

" ...particles are dynamically composed of one another in a self-

consistent way, and in that sense can be said to 'contain' one

another. In Mahayana Buddhism, a very similar notion is applied to

the whole universe. This cosmic network of interpenetrating things

is illustrated in the Avatamsaka Sutra by the metaphor of Indra's

net, a vast network of precious gems hanging over the palace of the

god Indra. In the words of Sir Charles Eliot:

 

 

In the Heaven of Indra, there is said to be a network of pearls, so

arranged that if you look at one you see all the others reflected in

it. In the same way each object in the world is not merely itself

but involves every other object and in fact IS everything else. " In

every particle of dust, there are present Buddhas without number.'

The similarity of this image with the hadron bootstrap is indeed

striking. The metaphor of Indra's net may justly be called the first

bootstrap model, created by the Eastern sages some 2,500 years

before the beginning of particle physics. "

 

 

The soul weaves Indra's net.

 

Following the anatman doctrines of Buddhism, the Virtuals insist

that any fixed notion of self, even the Universal Self, is an

illusion. At the same time, the ngHolos emphasize that the self and

the world are constantly produced, that the cosmos is both network

and void. The allusion here to the Hindu myth of Indra's web, which

the ngHolo's fused with the image of the universe as pictured in the

Avatamsaka Sutra: an infinitely nested and interrelated monadology

in which each singularity reflects and embodies a boundless

totality.

" The alternative physics is a physics of light. Light is composed

of photons, which have no antiparticle. This means that there is no

dualism in the world of light. The conventions of relativity say

that time slows down as one approaches the speed of light, but if

one tries to imagine the point of view of a thing made of light, one

must realize that what is never mentioned is that if one moves at

the speed of light there is no time whatsoever. There is an

experience of time zero. So if one imagines for a moment oneself to

be made of light, or in possession of a vehicle that can move at the

speed of light, one can traverse from any point in the universe to

any other with a subjective experience of time zero. This means

that one crosses to Alpha Centauri in time zero, but the amount of

time that has passed in the relativistic universe is four and a half

years. But if one moves very great distances, if one crosses two

hundred and fifty thousand light-years to Andromeda, one would still

have a subjective experience of time zero. "

-Terence McKenna - _Archaic Revival_

 

 

" It is easy to make a simple machine which will run toward the light

or run away from it, and if such machines also contain lights of

their own, a number of them together will show complicated forms of

social behavior... "

 

- Norbert Wiener, founder of the science of Cybernetics

 

The Hopi believe Akush to be the Dawn Katsina. The Sumerians

believed AK.U to be Beings of light.

 

Computer Communications

 

 

 

We have started to glimpse an end-point in our technical artifacts,

which are on a threshold of becoming one with our media. To be

mediated is now to be electronically mediated, and this has created

two primary effects; an enormous speed-up in activity (akin to the

organism's central nervous system) and a collapse in the perception

of space (nothing is really far away anymore). Thus was the global

village born, and thus Virilio can aptly pronounce, " Speed equals

light. " In an unforseen development of Einstein'swork, we see

ourselves converted into energy spent upon communication.

 

And what is being communicated?

 

Our imagination.
