One is All and All is One, A Look Into PantheismsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Our fundemental laws of physics are just a mere representation of our true understandings of the universe.


Everything that we see and which we perceive with our eyes translated by our brain to make sense of it all, how correct is it? Is what we see, what we feel, hear, smell and taste reality? Or is it mere a small friction of our imagination. I see the same as you do, yet it can be slightly altered. This desk in front of me being the color black, its shape a square, could both be felt and measured in its length therefore mathematically defined. In that way correlated between yours and mine perception. However an inch may look smaller or bigger for you than it does for me. As for its colors, black for me could be gray for you, what is orange for one, can be yellow for another. Not to mention colorblindness which can define colors on a total different spectrum.

Now to go on a deeper level. Atoms, on which almost everything in the universe is made of, built out of smaller pieces like neutrons and protons, whom in their turn can be broken down further along. Aside many other fundamental particles and laws, the higgs particle being discovered just recently (which holds all mass together). Are all currently brought together by physics in the model theory called the Standard Model of Elementary Particles. Even so, this model still holds a lot of question marks and can't explain the true foundation on which the universe is build.

For someone like me who loves to philosophise and has no physics mind whatsoever, I intend to theorize. Giving the opportunity to hypothesize without the boundaries of current physics understanding. That being said, philosophy and science go hand in hand. Without an idea there is no experiment. And with discoveries being made, new hypotheses are brought to life. This next thesis is something I incline to believe, yet without certainty, because for now it's just thoughts without any scientific prove to be presented. But what is a conceptual belief for now, can be the written truth of tomorrow.


The Observer Effect of Quantum Physics states that our observation affects reality. Through our observance of a phenonemon we change its outcome, meaning our perception influences the outcome. And this isn't just a hypothesis, it has actually been proven! It's called the double-slit experiment, in which photons (particles existing out of light) are fired through two parallel slits upon a wall.

The results expected from this experiment would have been to get two rectangular strips showing on the wall, instead they formed a wave pattern. The hypothesis was there might be an interference between particles that cause it to react this way. But when shot seperatly the same wave pattern emerged. So this is were the strange part comes up, they decided to place a detector by the slits to observe what is happening to the particles themself when passed through. However when this was done the wave pattern on the wall changed into the pattern of two stripes, the observation tool changed the outcome!

One could implicate that this means the universe is conscious and that our surroundings are being aware of our existence, in terms interacting with awareness or being awareness itself. That the core of everything that exists, from living beings to plain objects are all connected and essentially made out of the same substance. On a spiritual level this is often represented by means of energy vibrations, all things being on a different frequency. For example a rock would be on a much lower vibration than a human. We humans would also differentiate between one another with those being lower vibrations often bound more to the physical world and less open minded compared to those with high vibrations.

Approached from just the physical aspect, in its truest form, all would be connected. And I couldn't explain this any better then the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood did (if you haven't seen it yet it's highly recommended!).

Everything we see, everyone we meet, is caught up in a great unseen flow. But it's bigger than that. It's the entire world, the entire universe even. And compared to something as big as that, Al, you and I are tiny, not even the size of ants. Only one small part within a much greater flow. Nothing more than a fraction of the whole. But by putting all those "ones" together, you get one great "All", just like Teacher said. The flow of this universe follows laws of such magnitude that you and I can't even imagine them.

So what do you think? Are we vibrations, energy beings, perhaps our souls being our higher selfs. One with the divine, its creation being a reflection of itself. Our existence merely an illusion, a matrix that is created by ourselves?

Great post, @droucil! I am so delighted to have encountered a "fellow enthralled-cosmic-speck" here among this burgeoning gathering of Steemians. I mounted my first post this past Wednesday and am still finding my way about. If you have a chance, please take a look at it and let me know what you think. It really is as much an introduction for my ongoing project Manifest Orders as it is about me personally. But I would like very much to hear any comments or suggestions you might care to make about either. My post engages the idea that Steemit is truly revolutionary in that it automates fair governance of a social context while fostering and protecting individual creative endeavors. Congratulations on your award. I upvote you as well. Also, I'm adding myself to your list of followers. I hope you'll find interest in my efforts, as well. Good luck to you!

great writing, easy reading.
thanks a bunch!
