My Personal Diary: June 29th, 1:11pm>>>Adam and Eve the Electrons
goinfor11x7;306362: I've watched you grow and transform yourself. You let it all hang out. Why not? It's only the fear-filled and the shame-based who don't allow themselves to do this. You are my inspiration, as always, good one.
Your art work is remarkably creative, as are you.
I surely understand how it's about pulling it all together. Our thinking is remarkably similar in this regard.
I understand the anger. I understand the self-destructive impulses. I understand the deep depression. I understand the relief when it is lifted. Most people I have known with your kinds of talents have these swings--it comes with the territory. So as deep as the valleys are, the creative heights can be equally dazzling.
Thank you, brother, for all you have given and will continue to give to us.
My Response
Last night we watched Wall-E and Eve, the new Disney film. The film is loosely based on the first few books of Genesis so when we made it home to the Studio we discussed everyones view on the film. I highly recommend seeing it, Pixar does an incredible job with the animation and the messages are very well delivered to any age.
WHile sitting around the theatre area, watching Deja Vu, starring Denzel Washington and Paula Patton, one of my sons friends asked to read the Bible. We discussed the story of Adam and Eve and what the Bible was trying to say. His question was more about knowledge and why it was the very thing that dispelled the couple from the garden. He also asked if ALPHA+BLADE was like eating from the tree of knowledge because of how easy it is for us to transform ourselves or gain what ever we desire through creative, deliberate creation. This question was one I struggled with when I was starting ALPHA+BLADE, it seemed as though I could pretend anything into existence and quite frankly, the knowledge scared me. I wondered why other people did not use this knowledge and I started to think maybe I shouldn't. Just like most of the modern world, I perverted the message to the point of self-denial and an acceptance of a miserable, unaware existence.
So he asked me what did the message mean to me. I view Adam and Eve with the highest regard and it is a very important lesson in the ALPHA+BLADE program. When the Garden of Eden was first created and Adam and Eve were given domain over the entire place they were told that they had already known everything, they did not need to learn more because they already knew. The tree of Life was available to them and the tree would give them eternal life but God also put the tree of Good and Evil (the Tree of Knowledge) in the Garden too. This tree symbolized God's mind and refraining from eating from it was a way of Adam and Eve to show a commitment to the trust they had in God and his words that they needed nothing more than the perfect knowledge they already possessed.
Like most humans today, Adam and Eve became ignorant through their own education and essentially forgot that they already knew everything they needed to know, well at least everything they needed to know to live in eternal bliss. In the forgetting of this self-realization of perfection they chose to eat the fruit of the tree of KNOWLEDGE. Their hope was to find out what God was hiding from them, what knowledge God had that they did not. They fell victim to the serpent, the snake representing evil, and his promises that there was more beyond their knowledge failing to see that God was only protecting them from the bad of the world. When they tried to peek into the mind of God their world collapsed into a place surrounded by human error...the magic dispersed.
If you understand Quantum Mechanics you will understand the miracle of the electron. An electron is an elementary particle, a very tiny or quantum sized particle. It is independent and it is essentially one. It is kind of like a marble, a single bit of energy...kind of like a human. A single electron, can become 2 electrons and go from being a particle to becoming a wave. "How" it is done is the mystery of Quantum Physics and when a scientist tries to "peek" the electron realizes it is being watched and goes back to acting like a particle.
The magnitude and association of the book of Adam and EVe and Quantum Mechanics is identical on a metaphorical level (in my opinion on every level) . Just like Eve and Adam trying to peek on the mind of God and the scientist peeking on the electron result in a collapse of the magic and a reality is established. Prior to viewing either God's mind, or the electron for this matter, all possibilities are in super position, meaning anything is possible. We decide the outcome and that is a magic we have always possessed...we only forgot. Trying to find out "how" it is done is where we fail...this is trying to eat from a tree of knowledge we already posses. Quite the paradox.
I like to see my past, negative experience (crime, ,hate, violence, shit like that) as the very basis for my ability to effectively speak on how to change these things. I could not have become the positive person I am if I did not have my negative experience to contrast it. How the hell can a psychiatrist tell me I am Bi-Polar if he is not himself? He can't. I can't have the appreciation for my positive change unless I once lived it's opposite. Who can know red without knowing blue? Everything I have gained is in sharp contrast to what I did not have. The way I got it is through the magic of the universe and my realization of myself and the power that resides in me.
