This may have been explored already, but either way, it needs to be shown again, and again, and again.

This is what "enlightenment" is. The conscious minds recognition of its place in the infinite. Basically the field that connects all physical particles in existence is referred to beautifully as an ocean of pure potentiality.

Here's the overview.

When studying the infinite (space) it's much easier to observe the infinitely small (quantum mechanics) opposed to the infinitely large (astrophysics). This lead to the discovery of the Unified Field.

When you look into a particle all the way down to what they call the Planck Scale, a size where no matter how much further you look in, you always see the same image inside the same image. In essence it is the smallest scale possible. At the Planck Scale level they have observed a fractal, which is an image within itself, within itself, within itself, etc.

This underlying pattern, or "field" is what connects everything in the world. Every particle comes from this sea of repeating pattern, and the pattern is the same in every particle.

Fundamentally we all are derived from this pattern, or field, that connects everything. If we take a step back and realize that 99.999999999999% of everything in this physical world (matter) is comprised of space. Pure, empty, Space. This space itself is composed of this field.

Now, the way this field works is that sound waves, vibrations, pass through the field, causing actual waves within this field. These waves give rise to singularities which become the building blocks of matter. There are different levels of the physical world, meaning, particle physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics etc. These all explain how the physical worlds manifested from this ocean work.

So what we have is a world of pure potential and intelligence. It is the center of all intelligence in the Universe, it truly is all knowing, all powerful, it is the creator itself, but lets not get into any of that for now.

This field is comprised of tiny strings, hence the name, "string theory". these tiny tiny strings are what feel the vibrations in this "ocean". They vibrate and in turn give rise to the singularities that form the physical world.

The reason the field is referred to as pure potentiality or pure intelligence is that we ourselves are composed of atoms, and these atoms are the building blocks for maintaining our minds and intelligence itself. These atoms find their source to be this field.The lowest level of composition. This field itself gives these atoms the ability to interact and us the ability to gain/possess knowledge. The implications of this is that the field itself maintains all knowledge discovered, ever, ever. As well as all knowledge that does not exist yet. It is the impossible, the possible, the probable, the observed, the unobserved. As stated by Dr Hagelin, it is an ocean of pure potentiality. It can be everything, and nothing.

Now, where do we as humans fit in. What we need to grasp is that consciousness itself is something we all share. The concept of I, myself, we, being alive, being awake, sleeping. All of our states of consciousness are formed from this ocean. The best example given is that if you take a source, call it a source of light (flashlight). And you shine this flashlight through an opaque vase. The vase will bend and transmit the light. It will not be the same light, because it has been modified by the vase. However, it is the vases reflection of the source itself.

We operate in much the same way in relation to this sea of potentiality. The brain waves that our mind creates are identical to the waves that alter the unified field. Vibrations on the tiniest scale that can not be felt, heard or seen. They are what you have heard refer to as brain waves. The consciousness that we exist in, our concept of being alive, is given rise to from the unified field.

Great post!

I remember him from 'What The Bleep', and thanks for the links, I'll check them out.

Good post. Super string theory and its predecessor String theory have always ebbed and flowed in my mind. I was just a young teenager when I first heard the high-level explanation of the theory. I experience moments of clarity, in terms of the theory's existence, such as when studies and experiments are published that seem to validate the unified system. Other times I have a hard time coming to grips with it's existence because we're using our own terms and definitions of our reality to define it. It makes sense to us, which makes me uncertain about it at times.

I think it's a great theory, but I think we still have a long way to go. Hope to hear your response! Thanks again for a great post!

What a brilliant statement that truly is.

The confines that we place on our reality is an interesting topic when we are talking about something as complicated as the unified field.

What research done tells us, is that anything is possible. We exist in, and are part of, an ocean of potentiality. This means we can do anything if we try the right way. However, we run into a catch 22 when we start defining the system that allows this. This is because if we truly exist in a world of pure potential and intelligence, then we should be able to define the system through which the phenomena operates in any way we choose. Confining the system to an actual shape, form, design, construct of any sort actually goes against what that system represents, a world of limitless possibility.

So, as I said, your statement is truly brilliant.

The reason I have chosen to explore the strong possibility of this system is the underlying mathematics that confirm the theory. My entire life I have been an avid mathematician. I wasn't always the best, but I sure do love the science of mathematics. The best way to describe this is that, when you multiply 6 X 8 you get 48, not 47, or 49, or 68. You get 48, there is a right answer and there are wrong answers. There is no middle ground. This tells me that if Dr. Hagelin can confirm his theory with mathematic equations that say this field exists and operates in a specific way, I have to agree because all I've ever learned about math is that an equation either works, or it doesn't.
