Mercury Rising

In a previous post—Star Light, Star Bright—I posed the question: What is meant by “observation” in various physics paradigms, and how does this relate (if at all) to Awareness as the final, ultimate perceiver/observer? And, as we saw, what is meant by “an observer” differs quite dramatically, between Newtonian, special relativity, and quantum mechanical paradigms. And this is quite …

Star Light, Star Bright …

Most of you will be familiar with the nursery rhyme: Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight.

On To The Fields Of Praise

Practice Notes: Space-Time Interval

Practice Notes: Space-Time Interval

As of late, I’ve been contemplating the relationship between, on the one hand, intention/aspiration; and, on the other hand, accomplishment.
