Heart of Matter: Relativity Theory

Tuesday, February 21, 2023

“Relativity theory states that matter and energy are really different forms of the same thing—but what is the thing they are forms of?”

“La teoría de la relatividad sostiene que materia y energía son en realidad aspectos diferentes de una misma cosa. ¿Pero de qué cosa exactamente?”

What is being asked?

    The answer, in a word, is “light,” used ten times in Genesis 1 as causal re: origins. Disengaged from the ravages of time as an eternal constant, like the sun is to moon phases, light is the everlasting principle (energy) manifested in the field of time, the invisible substance of all visible form. Light is the scientific identity and nature of spirit-soul as quanta, the highest part of matter having properties of consciousness “in which all things consist and hold together” (Col. 1), the 3rd or organic nature of Christ that “fills all things everywhere with himself” (Eph. 1) — another name for everything. Had Teilhard been as much theologian as scientist, with a cursory understanding of Christ as “the Light of the world” (Jn. 8), who “lights every man who comes into the world” (Jn. 1), and more attuned to the work of contemporaries Einstein and Tesla on matter as “slowed down light and sound waves,” he might have seen that science and religion were but competing partial truths, two disciplines viewing (joined by) the SAME interbeing element (light) enfolding them both and ALL things without distinction, key to non-dual awareness, and solving the science-religion mystery in his time. Yeshua says, ‘When asked of your origins,’ say to them: ‘We come from the Light. The place where the Light is manifest from itself . . . and manifests through their image.’(Thomas, saying 50).

    Matter and energy are different forms of observable phenomena ie. they can be evidenced by an external observer. They make up a significant chunk of the observable universe. What about dark matter? Is it a “thing”, even though it is not observable? What Is it’s function in the context of the universe?

    Let me get out my tape measure-
    Let’s see, how tall is relationship?
    If it would just stay still, I could measure friendship
    Let me put the energy of a smile on the scale
    Along with all the stuff that really matters
    And a big soup spoon of not knowing
    Mixes energy and matter and mind
    Into the chicken soup of the universe
    Ilia patiently serves it up
    And with each sip, I feel a bit better
    A bit calmer, not being alone
    Thank you dear Sister
