Constructing Reality

Pyramid feng shui is a rational scientifically based way of understanding how place impacts on human behaviors.

 This summer of 2010 I would like to take the reader on a road of exploration to realms that while not being quantifiable, are in my opinion, real. Let me know what your think.

What we experience as out there is as much our invention as it is our discovery.

 Why is reality programming such a hot ticket? In the last few years TV reality shows have multiplied like bubble bath in hot water. What makes the viewing public so interested in watching ordinary people react to uncommon events? Is it the fact that our lives are so predictable, so routine, that we long to construct novelty? Or has a gene for novelty become a preference in today’s DNA? Perhaps, the popularity of this type of programming stems from our need to hold onto the notion of reality as a result of cause and effect.

We humans hold a rather narrow belief, that the past pours its content into the present. Thus, we are deluded into assuming that things are predictable insofar as they emerge from what has been. This theory holds some truth because the past in every living thing has an influence in the present, but that role is elastic and cannot be predicted.

Scientists whose time honored goals have been to quantify phenomenon have, in the last century, been challenged by the belief of cause and consequence. Take for example; the results of Werner Heisenberg, a German physicist,which indicated that outcomes cannot be predictable. Wikipedia writes “Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states …that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot simultaneously be known. That is, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured and that the mere fact of observing something can alter its outcome.” Well, that certainly undermines cause and effect!

A contemporary of Heisenberg, Niels Bohr developed theory of complementarity, which states that that there is a dual nature to things. A sphere, for instance, has a convex and concave aspect depending upon your point of view. If we are outside the sphere, it appears convex, but from inside it seems concave. In the last hundred years, decades of belief about reality have been questioned and the answers don’t always point to one absolute or a single truth.

 Reality shows give the appearance that the end is a direct result of efforts, determinations and thus is rather foreseeable. I would like to suggest here that underlying my material of how place can support healing of physical, emotional and spiritual dis-eases, is the iconoclastic view that Western medicine with it’s stated outcomes (like this medicine works 48% of the time) undermines a notion of while results might be unknowable, one cannot discount the quantum leap, which is to say that seeming miracles are merely results that cannot be predicted and that the duality of not being able to see all sides as in the convex and concave example, all sides exist. To a large degree we organize, either actively or passively what we experience. But that organization is not only the result of cause and effect, but of something more fundamental to the universe. Using this concept, we can embrace what we know and what we don’t know for both may have equal potential. This summer of 2010 I would like to take the reader on a road of exploration to realms that while not being quantifiable, are in my opinion, real.
