I think the quantum field is a mechanism for conservation of energy. I need to explore this idea more…

Which is worse for a child? Having parents who think you will never amount to anything, or parents who expect you to accomplish things that may be unreasonable?
There are bad consequences to each circumstance, without a doubt, but which is more damaging to the child in the long run? I think it kinda depends on the child, honestly.
There could be a child in situation 1, whose parents believe they will never accomplish anything, but they make a choice to prove the parents wrong, and wind up being a successful individual, but they deal with the knowledge that no one believed in them from the get-go. There could also be a child in situation 2, who does their absolute best to accomplish everything, but falls short, because, well… they are human and can’t do everything. They carry a sense of guilt and the idea of “I should have….” when in reality, they did everything they could at the time.
I am curious about this… admittedly, I feel that I belong to group 2, because I tried my damnedest to do what my parents expected, but that just wasn’t going to happen because, well…. life. At this point, I don’t blame my parents for any of that. They certainly had their own issues to work through, which bled on to me. But, what is it like on the other side of this? I don’t know what it is to be in group 1, but I want to know and understand that side of things.
If anyone reading this belongs to group 1, please reach out, I want to know your story. If you belong to group 2, please reach out, I want to know your story. I love to hear people’s struggles, and what they have done to cope with/mitigate them. Understanding one another and our various circumstances is one of the keys to growth….

I’ve been thinking. There cannot even be a plan, at least not a singular one.
I have been preparing a piece on consciousness, and that will explain some of this thought process. but bear with me. I need to get this out.
We are going to assume that any deity – God, Allah, The Moon Goddess, Vishnu, Spirit, Zeus, whomever – they are all human made representations of the grand consciousness that unites everything in the universe. Furthermore, we are going to assume – in a quantum field type perspective – that all possibilities for your life exist, but your observations of this particular version are what cause the field to collapse, and you living the life you have. So, in this thought process, your observation – your perspective, if you will – determines the life that you experience.
Now, in many religions, it is believed that the deity of choice has a plan, a way that things are supposed to happen. But, if we assume the quantum field perspective, that doesn’t make sense. There can be no concrete plan if literally anything is possible.
I am reminded of an episode of Star Trek: TNG where there was some sort of wormhole or tear in space or singularity that was pulling Enterprises from alternate dimensions/universes and popping them all in the same area of space and time, and they could speak to each other and see how life could be very, very different. I believe one of the ships actually exploded after being “relocated”.
This is similar, albeit in a more subtle, elegant, quantum insanity kind of way. All of the possibilities for your life exist in the quantum field – you could be a rockstar, you could be a janitor, you could be a world-renowned artist, you could be a drug addict, or anything and everything in between or outside of that range. You only experience one of those possibilities. But what if it were possible to move between those possibilities? I’m not necessarily saying that we change realities like we change socks (and boy, would that be a trip!), but what if, through enough energy transfer, a person was able to shift themselves into a different possibility? To leave the old set of possibilities behind because they had surpassed the maximum energy level that that one possibility could handle/tolerate? Because, if I remember correctly, there is a maximum energy that photons can hold, so the same could be said about other subatomic structures, or even molecules, right?
And what if the plan changes with your actions? The plan is to get you from birth to death, but the how depends mostly on your free will. So, if you make a particular choice, change the energy levels involved, you bump yourself up or down to a different set of possibilities.
This idea is intriguing and fascinating. I have to explore this more, but I needed to get these thoughts out.

I just had a heart to heart with one of my dogs (sortof). Frak (yes, brother of Frik), who is the dominant one, the “scary” one, the one who believes he is in charge. Well, until Sandy sets him straight…
Anyway, after being gone for a bit this afternoon and then feeding them when I got back, Frak came up to me and licked my face in a rare expression of affection. I think he could feel that it was a rough day and has been a rough couple of weeks. He’s intuitive like that. I said to him, “I know you try to be the badass, but you’re actually nothin’ but a mush.” He turned away, so I continued, “and you know that I know, and that’s why you can’t even look at me.” I chuckled, he sighed, gave my nose a quick lick then jumped down.
I think we have an understanding now…

Why is it that people can’t see their impact on their own lives/reality/world?

The world looks completely different when you take your (very strong) glasses off….

How did lightbulbs get to be the symbol for an idea?
