cosmic sympathy – Harmonia Philosophica

Gravitational Waves: Discovered. So long ago…

Some time ago a lot of fuss was created for the discovery of gravitational waves. [1]

People.

Living in a unique cosmos.

A cosmos where everything exist in unison.

Afraid of the consequences of such unity, we DECIDED to split the cosmos into many pieces. And now we just see and analyze these pieces separately.

Once in a while someone comes to remind them of the unity of the cosmos. That everything affects everything. That all beings and things are interconnected – with gravitational waves, with cosmic sympathy, with love…

But still we do not believe it. We want “proof”.

And wait for hundreds of years for that proof.

Then we see.

But again not what we are supposed to see.

Listen to Parmenides.

The ripples of his poem rip through time…

Placenta, Jokes, Interactions. Funny things…

The placenta, once thought sterile, actually harbors a world of bacteria that may influence the course of pregnancy and help shape an infant’s health and the bacterial makeup of its gut, a new study has found.

The research is part of a broader scientific effort to explore the microbiome, the trillions of microbes — bacteria, viruses and fungi — that colonize the human body. Those organisms affect digestion, metabolism and an unknown array of biological processes, and may play a role in the development of obesity, diabetes and other illnesses. (1)

But why believe something is useless?
Why believe anything can be useless?
Why believe something exists with no reason?
Why believe something affects nothing?

At the same time Japanese scientists unveiled a robot with a sense of humour Tuesday, and claimed it was capable of knowing when its jokes had fallen flat. (2)

It seems funny.
And useless…

That reminds me of…

Funny…

Beetles, astrology, Milky Way, Unity…

They may be small and down in the dirt, but it seems that dung beetles also have their eyes on the stars.

Scientists have shown how these insects will use the Milky Way to orientate themselves as they roll their balls of muck along the ground. The study by Marie Dacke is reported in the journal Current Biology. [1]

“The dung beetles are not necessarily rolling with the Milky Way or 90 degrees to it; they can go at any angle to this band of light in the sky. They use it as a reference,” the Lund University, Sweden, researcher told BBC News.

Astrologists, alchemists and magicians have for a long time postulated that everything in the cosmos affect everything – that all is interconnected in ways we cannot see (Cosmic Sympathy – GR. Κοσμική Συμπάθεια). After scientism has had its laugh with astrology it is now starting to realize that what was once thought of as funny, may have a basis. We are all part of something greater. We may not know what it is. But as beetles are guided by starts thousand of miles away, we are also affected and influenced by abstract notions far far away from this Earth…
