You can listen now to wonderful Youtube music channels that specialize in what I would tentatively characterize as theatrically inspirational; that is to say music that lies behind the emotional power of not only a lot big movies anymore, but also swirls hugely through a big chunk of gaming (check here, here, here, and here for some examples).
This type of music truly conveys some amazing feelings and it always gets me to wondering. Was that feeling always there, in the specific patterns of notes, and chords? Or do we associate the feelings we have from them now because they've been used so much as supportive, background stimulation, in a host of audio visual, entertainment formats?. I'd like to think that most people would agree with the former conceptualization, and that those who favored the latter would tend to be more likely of the rationalist view of existence. But I recognize that this may be just a result of my own bias.
In any case, though, music proves to me that there are things that affect us that cannot currently be tested, or measured, objectively, precisely because we, and our instrumentality, are so intrinsically linked; if for no other reason than the huge impact of choice itself when it comes to how you design your supposedly objective tests and measures (as in testing light).
The thing is here, holding someone you care about is also a kind of vibration; not only of the immediate body to body contact, but of the emotional-meaning connection of what you have established with that other person. What rubs together then in that kind of linkage? Other than something that's a good deal more than just the anecdotal conjecture of those hoping to hold onto some kind of spirituality?
A good deal more, it seems to me, because other energies exist, and just because we don't understand the full scope of the medium these other energies move as a result of, doesn't deny that existence.
We are but one vector of reality realization (or vector of experience association, as I also like to refer to it). Other vectors exist, going through, and around, us at angles beyond our ken, limited as we are by our dimensional boundaries. Though they then exist in a different enough meaning context to make our direct awareness impossible, that does not mean that some basic aspect of the entirety can't still rub something through. Perhaps meaning itself is a basic carrier wave on a grander scale, and even though we don't know the exact coding of the individual reality modulation patterns, something essential still gets through to us. Something from near copies of us perhaps (as in the parallel universe theory). Or maybe essential feelings from completely different replication structures (biological or otherwise), that are sentient, and that evolved to have feelings in some fundamental way, so that those also filter through, even if it is because of the most quantum crazy of boundary translations, to get back to us.
This is why I can say that everything is as least semi permeable, interactive, and thus capable of information transfer. Cosmologists themselves suggest that even black holes may be using some kind of wormhole channeling in order to leak information back from something that supposedly nothing can escape from; else why else would they dissipate over time.
We are then, connected, in a sense, to everything, even if it is vastly indirect. And in my view, one need only meditate regularly, without the filtering inner dialogue of words, to become more sensitive to this connection. You do that and perhaps even things that seem greatly separated in our own reality will resonate something of importance to you. And provide connection where you thought there could be nothing at all to link with.
Meaning and connection. Mind, with the necessary need of objectification and structure , and the continuous, creative destruction of letting go of old meanings to create new ones, trying to work an always ongoing balance. That is my view of the cosmos.
What do you think?
Cosmolosophy is what I hope will be a useful new framework for finding meaning and direction in a complicated environment of information, social expectations and economic realities.The intent is to create a new synthesis of science and faith; as well as to strive for a description of us and our place in the Cosmos that balances a questioning mind with the need for that which transcends the merely rational.
