The term "God" is a conceptual node and that, in itself, is distorting.

The node is one, the network is oneness.

The node is synchronization, everything on the same wavelength, coalescing in.

While the network is harmonization, everything balancing out across infinity. As the waves rising and falling.

Galaxies are the energy radiating out, across infinity, while the structure coalesces in, toward equilibrium, one wavelength.

"Entangled particles" wouldn't be such a mystery, if it wasn't for that Western fixation on the entity, the node, from atoms and individuals to a singular God.

Knowing the exact position and momentum of a moving car is contradictory.

As mobile organisms, this sentient interface our body has with its situation functions as a sequence of perceptions, in order to navigate, so our sense of time is the present going past to future. It is the basis of culture and civilization, as narrative and history. Human knowledge is an effect of this cumulative process.

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

The present goes past to future, because the patterns generated come and go, future to past. Energy drives the wave, the fluctuations rise and fall. No tiny strings necessary.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past.

The digestive system processes the energy, feeding the flame, while the nervous system sorts the patterns, signals from the noise, with the circulation system in the middle.

Which is why our modern intellectualism tends to see information and information processing as primary, with consciousness as the effect.

Not information processing as a survival technique, like running, or generating toxins.

The specialists focus on the nodes, while the generalists see the networking and can have multiple tools in the mental tool box.

That's why the people leading armies are called generals and specialist is about one rank above private.

In our world, the kids that would make good generalists are the ones interested in everything, such that they come to see all the connections. Yet they are diagnosed as attention deficient and medicated until their minds fit back in the various boxes. Leaving this global Tower of Babel, with all the specialists talking past each other.
