Physics of Mystics

The more I learn, the more I see how much remains unknown. In contrast, the greater my awareness, the smaller I feel. In my essay titled Positive Solutions, I wrote, “We’re all authors of our own short lives; why not write a tale without any lies?” I’m an author who uses intuition and emotion as his medium for creative wordplay. Word-combination sounds are often as important as the complex themes of my written work. At the time, those words “felt most right.” Today, with a deeper awareness, I see new perspectives of my own written words. As the frequency of the reader changes, so does one’s perspective of past publications. Now, I see the same sentence as the foundation for what I call the physics of mystics.

Every word we write shapes the way we speak. Every word we speak shapes the way we think. And the way we think collapses the infinite possibilities of tomorrow into the solid ground of today. The universe bends, however so slightly, toward the story we choose to tell because when we change, the world around us will change.

The Nervous System as a Particle Decelerator

Modern science builds machines like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to accelerate particles to near-light speeds, smashing them together to uncover the universe’s secrets: the origin of mass, the nature of dark matter, the forces that shape reality itself.

Yet something opposite unfolds inside us: the observer. Our nervous system acts as a particle decelerator. Instead of accelerating particles within human-built science experiments, our nervous system slows light down, interprets the data, and shapes infinite energy into the three-dimensional world we experience every day.

Human beings are creatures of three dimensions who must convert multidimensional data into the dimension in which we reside. This awareness will transform three-dimensional human beings into five-dimensional creators.

From Infinite Energy to Physical Form

At the most fundamental level, all things — trees, people, even stars — are vibrating clumps of infinite energy. Physics tells us through the Double-Slit Experiment that light behaves like a wave of infinite possibilities until it is observed, at which point the wave collapses into particles and thus becomes tangible reality.

Light behaves differently when observed, collapsing from a probability wave into physical form. Einstein himself wrestled with this mystery. In a 1950s walk with Abraham Pais, he asked whether the moon existed only when he looked at it. Quantum physics suggests reality waits for the observer before taking shape.

In response to the question, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” the answer is no: it does not make a sound because it does not exist until it’s observed.

Our unique individual realities are defined by our perspectives of the probabilities in the world around us. Observation becomes the bridge where the universe’s potential collapses into the world we can see, touch, and explore.

How Perception and Language Shape Reality

The human nervous system slows the flood of light and sensory data, then renders it as the solid world before us. We are particle decelerators. This process extends beyond sight and random sensation. Our gifts become honed through thought, speech, and intention.

When you change the way you write, you change the way you speak. When you change the way you speak, you change the way you think. And when you change the way you think, you change what solidifies before your eyes.

Einstein taught us how all time exists at once. Therefore, words spoken in a passive tense will detach one’s consciousness from the now.

Words spoken in an active tense will place thought directly into the present moment, to collapse the wave of possibility into malleable matter; to bend reality toward intention.

Thoughts become things because language and consciousness give the infinite its form.

Thoughts Becoming Reality

Light begins as an infinite, formless sea of vibrating potential. Once observed, and once spoken, it collapses into matter, filtered through the human nervous system into the stable, interactive world where we live, build, and create.

Our words and thoughts are not passive. They are instruments of intention and invention. We collapse possibility into our collective lived experience. Shifting one’s focus into the past or future limits the power to create the reality before you.

Closing Reflection

Perhaps this is the hidden wonder: the universe waits, patient and unhurried, for our attention to give it form. Every word spoken in faith pulls the infinite into focus, shaping possibility into the substance of now. The nervous system slows the rushing river of light so mountains may rise, rivers carve valleys, and lives unfold one heartbeat at a time.

All time exists at once, yet the present leans forward, listening for what we will say next. Maybe this is what it means to be human: to stand where language, light, and thought converge, knowing that with each breath, creation is still happening through us.

Writing, speaking, and thinking in harmony with Divine light makes us co-creators with God Himself.
