"An Alternate View Of The Interconnectedness

Of Our Universe And the Unified Field Theory."

"A UNI-DIMENSIONAL REALITY"

by

Robert Harris Brevig

Interconnectedness is a term which appropriately describes a "systemic" process that constitutes the cohesive principle and binds all form and essence in the universe. This is "particularly" true of the "multiplicity" of dimensions imagined by our relatively new breed of quantum physicists. In other words, in reality our universe may not be multi-dimensional at all, as the quantum physicists have imagined it to be.

In fact, it is highly probable that no multiplicity exists in actuality, but rather a smoothly graduated transition into varying levels with no interfaces, no separate zones or interfaces, only "One Great Continuum" ever becoming.

Essentially, this means there are no "edges", no boundaries, and hence, no limits to reality. Thus, any limits, or boundaries which seem to become apparent in reality are only the result of the limits of our perceptions, and how we perceive reality may possibly be flawed, or simply wrongly conditioned.

In the early part of the Twentieth Century, Werner Karl Heisenburg, a German theoretical and nuclear physicist conceived what he called the "Uncertainty Principle", or acausal indeterminacy. What this says, in effect, is that "God throws the dice" and we take it from there. In other words "what we observe is not nature itself, but rather, nature exposed to our method of questioning." We do not see nature as it really is because we tend to change it simply by attempting to define or interpret it. What this new principle did, in fact was give scientists a new perceptual model, a new way of seeing things. Embracing this new model required that everything in the universe had to be broken down and separated, mentally into its lowest common denominators, or quantums.

So, this "Uncertainty Principle" imagined by Heisenburg is not so much a principle which applied to universal reality as it is simply an acknowledgment of the frailty and unreliability of human perceptions, no matter how scholarly their sources may be.

There is nothing uncertain about what governs the functions of our universe in reality, yet there is some uncertainty as to how we perceive our universe and, of course, how we ultimately define it, explain it and also how we might affect it ourselves. The Heisenburg "Uncertainty Principle", it follows then, simply defines a human perceptual handicap and nothing more.

If we "choose" to apply this "Uncertainty Principle" to the universe as a governing rule rather than to our own handicapped perceptions we can choose to use it as a "license to create" an impression of whatever kind of universe it is that we imagine we are perceiving.

To the relatively new science of Quantum Physics and its disciples this is exactly what has occurred.  It has opened the door to a universe (universes, in fact) of virtually endless possibilities, all of which man can participate in as "creator", not simply an observing bystander.

As exciting and challenging as this, no doubt, sounds to our new pioneers in science it also parallels the allegory of the "sorcerer and his apprentice." There are major risks involved with fabricating scientific theories which might deceptively lead us to conceive hard-fast rules, principles or laws in physics which simply suit how we "imagine" our universe to be rather than how it really is.

A prime historical example of this risk is mans "creation" of the atomic bomb and its subsequently destructively residuals. This is not to say that these residuals have been entirely without benefit to mankind. On the contrary, the trickle-down factor, however slight and however long it takes, from mans initial propensity for the slaughter of his own kind often does profit society in some way. It is noteworthy, however, that the cost in human suffering to achieve the good from new discoveries for society, is invariably extremely high. Why is this so?

Now that man appears to be on the threshold of becoming "co-Creator" in his universe and in view of the historical evidence of his strongest tendencies it might avail him at each creative juncture to address the nature of his aim and intent.

When, in our unending search for the fundamental building block and the origins of our universe, we may finally discover that we have been looking through a lens in "Itself" all the while.

"The pursuer is pursued by that which he pursueth!"

We may wish to ponder this: Given the power to create, we also have the power to destroy. We have already proven this to ourselves many times over. From another perspective, this also means we have the power to create Heaven, or Hell, here on our own Earth.

Divergent beliefs and conditioning will also influence how we perceive the ideal society we might wish to create. The differences which would, no doubt, manifest would also generate the conflicts which might turn each genuine vision of Heaven on Earth into a morass of Hell on Earth. Any consensus of a social ideal would undoubtedly be an impossibility to arrive at. It is also a near impossibility to imagine any realistic social, economic or political analogy that might contain sufficient universal appeal that would sway such divergent cultural and ethnic groups, to some measure of a consensus that could lead to the beginnings of a workable global society.

There are three primary requisites to such a beginning and they are never found in large scale multi-cultural, multi-ethnic social groups. They are:

a. Compassion

b. Tolerance

c. Cooperation

These qualities may exist within specific ethnic or cultural factions contained in the greater whole of humanity but virtually never extend beyond this except in uniquely individual cases. So, here again we witness a limitation, a threshold, but one which is induced by a human frailty. When these above qualities become unreliable beyond a certain point we are then courting chaos and inviting Hell on Earth by means of our own creation. If we cannot rely on the requisite qualities that support the ideals we’d like embodied in our creation, we must then, in all good sense, question the overall viability and desirability of the creation we seek to engender.

To do this sincerely and appropriately we must first acknowledge and abide by certain unalterable natural laws insofar as they apply to our moral and ethical standards and as they relate to our own, our neighbors and our environment’s well being.

The first and perhaps most important law which must govern our evaluation of such questions then is, The Law of Cause and Effect. What this infers, as the great mind of Albert Einstein conceded was that, "God does not play dice with the universe", that there is a cause, and hence, a purpose in the universe, in being, in life. Since our scientists with their omniscient perceptions have been unable to detect the presence of God, or His cause, they have created a science that denies such a possibility and which is built upon that which they are unable to perceive. They have created a science governed by hypotheses, principles and laws which at once reveal and at the same time seem to substantiate some specious reality underlying their mode of perception. The principle governing this science is, as mentioned before Heisenburg’s "Uncertainty Principle", or acausal indeterminacy.

In the universe which these scientists have imagined, where causality is not a factor in their equations and effects are but random manifestations out of nowhere, we begin to see that even we soon become unaccountable for our own actions and the events we set in motion.

Soon Science becomes amoral, eventually immoral, and scientists become unaccountable, eventually irresponsible, and of course we, once again in trickle down fashion, begin to feel less obliged, less polite, less responsible matrimonially, parentally, socially, ethically, environmentally, and on, and on. After all in a universe where cause is not a factor, none of the effects we see manifesting around us could be our responsibility. Is this not so? Gradually, amidst this increasing spiritual insanity, we begin to see a once prosperous and contented society collapsing upon itself because of its lack of accountability to itself. It has occurred before and it is occurring around us this very moment.

So, surely now we can see that a "scientific" oxymoron such as acausal indeterminacy is, in fact, a cause in itself, in view of the effects such a belief system can have on society in the long term. No matter how clever we imagine ourselves to be, we cannot dispose of a Natural Law as quickly as we suppose we can dispose of our responsibilities simply because we are unable to perceive the irrevocable interconnectedness between cause and effect.

This does not mean, however, that Quantum Mechanics and Theoretical Physics are not valid and desirable fields of study and research. Certainly they can continue to introduce new and exciting possibilities for mankind to explore and benefit from. They will also continue to expand the spectrum of human knowledge by providing us with endless definitions and modalities and technologies which "can" contribute to our ability to create a Heaven on our own Earth...BUT, only if and when we "can" somehow regain our perception of the unbroken, inseparableness of our universe as a whole, to recognize our own inescapable and unavoidable continuum of interconnectedness within this "unified field" of that which is Ever-Becoming, and finally to find the courage, however timorous, to cultivate an appropriate sense of accountability and reverence to All That We Are and All That Is.

What does any of this have to do with politics, economics or social life? As we continue our studies we will discover that it has everything to do with how each of us perceives the world in which we live. We will also find that it also provides an opportunity for those who aspire to control humanity, to manipulate our perceptions in such a manner that we become compliant to their wishes. W e can be controlled by means of influencing how we perceive the world.

If we fail to perceive ourselves in truth; If we fail to embrace the reality of our integral role within this one great "unified field", we will find ourselves at the end of this amazing journey in life, staring into our own faces. Or, perhaps into the reflection of that which we have wrought upon ourselves, while listening to echo’s of warning from the past as cartoon character Pogo informs his Eco-conscious forest companion, Porcupine: "We have met the enemy and they is US!"
