New Kid’s Book – Raindrops

Published on: by Jin Nua Comment

All,

I’m excited to announce the completion of my second children’s book entitled “Raindrops”!

Raindrops is fun and unique. It examines the parallels between the human life cycle and the atmosphere’s water-vapor cycle.

Set against the backdrop of flowing down the river of life, Raindrops examines the changes, delights, and challenges we experience as we traverse life’s wonderful journey.

Like my other kid’s book “A Walk on the Beach”, you can view excerpts of Raindrops at this following link.

Fun stuff!

Find Meaning…Through the Heart of All Things

Published on: by Jin Nua Comment

Everything does have a center—atoms, cells, sentences, societies, and solar systems.

Through understanding this essential quality of being you can learn untold wisdoms, and naturally uplift and enhance your experience of life.
If you like this E-card, please forward to family and friends so that they can also glean this vital wisdom.

 

The Shape of the Core

Published on: by Jin Nua Comment

Protons and neutrons are not what you think. They are not simple spherical ‘balls’ as most suspect.

Protons and nucleons are actually comprised of dense cloud of particles (both real and virtual) keyed to a deeply attractive, void-like center perpetuating the swarm as the following passage from Fritjof Capra’s book the Tao of Physics succinctly describes.

“nucleons are, in fact, emitting and absorbing virtual particles all the time. According to field theory, they have to be regarded as centers of continuous activity surrounded by clouds of virtual particles”

And though we tend to associate chaos with the term swarm, the relationships amongst subatomic particles is in fact highly organized and symmetrical. Known as Meson symmetry, the accompanying diagrams depicts the dualistically arranged almost fulcrum-like arrangement of particles about their center.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It’s interesting to note the Meson Symmetry figure closely resembles Taoism’s I Ching symbol intended to represent the natural order of things which, incredibly enough was developed thousands of years before the tools of science were sophisticated enough to detect the minute details of subatomic particles!

How to Build a Nuclear Family

Published on: by Jin Nua Comment

There’s deeper meaning to the phrase ‘nuclear family’ than most expect. For not only does the term accurately describe the shape of families—i.e. children circling about their parents, we’re also able to glean a host of additional insights to family dynamics through an atom’s internal relationships.

Take for instance what nucleons at the heart of an atom tell us about the relationship of husband and wife at the core of a family. In this instance ‘man and woman’ come together in powerful bonds of love (whose mighty bond is reflected in the contract and social expectations of marriage), not much unlike the incredible forces that bind protons and neutrons at the center of an atom.

And like the incredible nuclear force that bonds protons and neutrons, the bond of love is very powerful keeping us aligned, yearning, and drawn towards one another. So strong in fact, that breaking the bonds of marriage through a divorce can feel as volatile as the feiry released when atoms are split in a nuclear blast!

Further insights toward bolstering one’s marriage comes from the incredible spatial relationship between neutrons and protons at the core of atoms. Here the nuclear force serves to maintain neutrons and protons at exactly the ‘right’ distance apart—repulsing them if they get too close together and likewise, attracting them if they get too far apart.

This phenomena exactly reflects the sentiments of the lyrics “hold on loosely, but never let go. If you cling too tightly, you’ll lose control” which describes balanced relationships as maintaining just the right ‘distance’. An illuminating atomic parallel for those wishing to keep their relationship in check!

A great example of center dynamics organizing nature and man in the same ways!

It Takes Two to Tango (from Encyclopedia CP)

one + one = ONE

-Jin Nua

Without knowing it we are participating in the cosmic whole forming dance practically every moment we’re in the company of another. For from the moment we simply share something in common we have created something larger in which we are than only a part –united through the central item we share.

And the centers that unite us are many. They might be a shared proximity or locale, clasped hands, a conversation, friendship, mutual respect, give and take, love, eye contact, and competition or cooperation for a desired objective. They can also be shared meanings, ‘identity’, and common purposes which are especially operative at larger ‘scale’ groupings (we’ll examine more on this later).

But in each case the sharing of common mental and physical ‘spaces’ does the same thing –it merges its participants into a larger single ‘organism’. On the level of two individuals such organisms are commonly referred to as friends, couples, acquaintances, associates, etc. but also strangers who perchance to strike up a simple conversation.

On larger scale groupings it is anytime people circle around the same object such as at concerts, rubber necking toward an accident, reading the same news, and around common rituals and symbols.

One plus one indeed equals one through the dynamic whole forging dynamic of the universe as reflected in the Center Ordering Principle.

Encyclopedia Centerpath – Series of Posts

Published on: by Jin Nua Comment

Starting this week I’ll begin posting blogs related to my e-book, Encyclopedia Centerpath. See the first post here!

Each post will examine a different section of Encyclopedia Centerpath. We’ll start with Chapter 5 related to how humans group since it offers some of the neatest examples of how Centerpath relates to our lives.

I think you’ll enjoy Encyclopedia Centerpath and stand to gain a wealth of insight and knowledge. I encourage you ‘take in’ the subjects (approx. one post every two weeks) and share it with family and friends.

Finally—in preparation you may want to check out one of these Centerpath primers to jumpstart your Centerpath knowledge (Free Introduction to Centerpath or this Q&A to Centerpath). However even without an intimate knowledge of Centerpath you can easily follow the various mini-stories. Hope you find something to your liking!

Hone Alone

I hope you find the following excerpt from my book Awaken fun and inspiring. 

“It’s nearly impossible to ascend mountaintops or journey inward to your heart if you’re continually distracted by others and pop culture. To arrive at new and enlightening destinations, you’ll need to take quiet time for yourself.

Sharing and being with others is one of life’s greatest joys. However, it also keeps us from getting to know ourselves better and from growing. This doesn’t mean you need to become a hermit, but it does mean that you will need to dedicate more time to yourself. To achieve this, make it a point to find quiet spaces and time just for yourself. Stop at a park on the way home and take a walk. Sit in a coffee shop and take notes or read a great novel. 

The same goes for your interactions with pop culture. If you are continually engaged in the negativity of news and the competition culture, your mind will never find the time to stretch and relax. 

To attain higher states of awareness, it’s recommended that you largely limit your ties to the machine. Turn off and walk away from the TV and the ridiculous hype and expectations it creates. Keep the competition culture at bay by drastically reducing your viewing of sports and competition TV such as the endless stream of reality based shows. Fill all your newfound time with more meaningful pursuits such as art, books, and walks in nature.

Overtime you will begin to feel the positive changes. You will begin growing again. You will start to re-experience the rich aroma of life. Take it in, and bathe in its glory. Take another step closer to becoming aware.”
