The problem is that structure is inherently centripetal. The question is the focal point of this dynamic?

Is it some central faith, or lowest common denominator? God, atom or individual?

Look at galaxies. The energy radiates out, as structure coalesces in. With that black hole at the center.

In terms of materialism, it is very much a function of our reductionist thought process, of trying to distill out some ultimate entity, be it atom, quanta, or now string. Yet there isn't nearly enough mass to explain the amount of gravitational effect, given gravity is presumably a property of mass. Yet what if that's backward? That the centripetal dynamic of synchronization, inherent to wave dynamics, is the basis for the properties; weight, density, form, we associate with mass, are simply intermediate effects of the structure coalescing in, interacting with the light radiating out?

Given the harmonizing effect of this energy radiating out across infinity, with resonance and reverberations as feedback in-between the synchronization and the harmonization, maybe the music is more real than the matter?

As I keep trying to point out about time, the effect of the present going past to future, is simply an effect of our sentient interface with our world functioning as a sequence of perceptions, in oder to navigate. A property, it should be noted, that flora don't need.

When the evident reality is that activity and the resulting change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

There is no dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Energy being conserved, because it manifests this presence, creating time, temperature, pressure, color and sound, as frequencies and amplitudes, rates and degrees.

So the energy, as presence, goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall.

Given consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past, it would seem consciousness manifests as a form of energy. Light.

So then the thought processes generated keep looking for that reductionist focal point. The eye of the storm, black hole at the center of the galaxy. The goal, purpose, meaning, god, pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, biggest pile of money, whatever. Totem at the center of the village. Grain of sand at the center of the pearl. Then it seems to vanish, recede as we race after it, like a horizon line.

Maybe we just have to come to terms with the fact the eye of the storm, the center of gravity, is an effect of the dynamics, not an actual thing.

That consciousness, like light, can be ambient, or it can be laser focused. Lasers being synchronized light waves.

Or something in-between. Like these multicellular organisms swirling around the surface of this planet. With nervous systems as government and blood and circulation systems as money and banking.

All too often caught up on the same wavelength and conflicting with others on another wavelength.

Each insisting their god is the only true god.
