So the other week I was watching a lecture via youtube by a physicist named Nassim Haramein. You can find this lecture and others by him by searching for "Resonance Project" on youtube. Or I guess you could just look up his name as well. He's a pretty far-out guy, but some of the things he was saying resulted in me having a blown mind. This managed to help change the way I look at things permanently.

Nassim talks about the fact that regardless of which way you search, be it smaller or larger, you will always be able to search for infinity, even within boundaries, because space divides infinitely. As an example of this he gives the atom and how we are continuously finding particles that are even smaller than we imagined possible. He says the same applies to discovering more of the universe and that we will always find something bigger.

The awesome thing is that all of this infinity is ultimately made up of particles, regardless of the fact that these particles get infinitely smaller, they make up existence. What blew my mind was the fact that these same particles form and reform to create human beings. This means, now let this sink in, that we are completely and inseparably connected to everything around us. Now, we are always told this, but it never completely sunk in for me until I heard it explained in this way.

Think of George Seurat and how his masterpiece consists of hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of tiny dots that make up a sunday stroll by the river. These dots make up EVERYTHING including light itself which is how we perceive the world around us. This means that we are connected to even the light in a way that intertwines the multiverse and rather than seeing ourselves as autonomous individuals, we suddenly become inter-connected collectives within the undulating sea of particles that is reality.

It's pretty amazing if you think about it long enough and presents an entirely meaningful way to view and create art as well. Take surrealism, for instance. Entirely new connections can be made through the understanding that seemingly unrelated objects and ideas essentially find their source in the same matter. I'm still in the process of thinking this through, but it's already afforded me quite a bit of inspiration and I'm already seeing it in my art (more of which will soon be posted, I promise). So I would like some feedback. Ideas, reactions, criticism, whatever. Let me know what you think of the concept that through infinitely small particles we are woven into the very fabric of reality and are therefore inseparably and intimately connected to the entire universe. What do you think?
