Your trajectory

Set your course...
man plans, God laughs...
God's intention is to make use of a man
In this way, men are tools of the almighty
Very complex tools
Some men are steady and sure
An arrow that once fired, goes straight, except for a slight wind that may affect its course
Some men are less predictable
Ready aim fi...WAIT!...can we start over...I wasn't ready...
Think of Jonah...
So complicated was the man that it took a storm and a big fish swallowing him to get him to where he needed to get to
But the archer never misses his mark

We think we are in control
I pray that I may learn to act with humility and graceful obedience.

Putting in work (the relationship between x and y)

Never fall into the trap of telling yourself that if I keep doing x, y will happen. Hear me out! This is not an argument against persistence or perseverance.

The problem is that, the probability of y being a predictable function of x is small. The result of your x inputs is always a function of x, though. x two times is 2x. x x times is x^2. x x^2 + 5 times is x^3 + 5x. But the chance of your x-inputs resulting in a y is not predetermined by the amount of x, you put in. There are too many other factors that could influence your outcome.

Do x for x's sake, because one thing you can always count on is getting more "x".

Practically speaking, how many times have you said to yourself:
"If I keep being nice to him/her/them, they will like me."
"If I stop talking too much, he will stop beating me."
"If I lose enough weight, she will think I'm handsome and want to marry me."
"If I keep working hard, I'll be a millionanire."

DO x FOR x's SAKE!

Persuasion Alchemy - Introduction

Alchemy is an ideology that originated in the middle ages. It studied a seemingly magical transformation of the elements. It was a precursor to the current science of Chemistry which feeds into and relates to Physics and Biology. The title of this book, “Persuasion Alchemy” considers an idea that human motivation is an alchemical process. The author believes that many of us sense this phenomenon to some extent.

This Book Is Not Based On “The Law of Attraction”
There are a lot of people since the middle ages who have described processes that seem to utilize the ideas of alchemy. The most popular being the “Law of Attraction”. This book is not based on the popular “law of attraction”. The law of attraction has taken the modern world by storm with it’s ideas that one can control the natural world with the psychic realm. In other words, the belief of the “law of attraction” is the idea that thoughts control things. The belief system is that everything in your life, you have attracted into your life, by your thoughts.

The Weakness in the “Law of Attraction”
The author believes that the law of attraction has a major flaw. That being that it leaves the student with many questions about “how” this transmutation occurs of thoughts and ideas into physical reality. It has few rules that actually give practitioners direction to the manifestation of what it is they truly desire. In this way, it is not a science.

What is a Science?
For a subject of study to be considered scientific, it must possess a certain predictive nature. Scientists observe the phenomena of nature and try to find patterns and principles that describe their relationship. When one studies the Newtonian law that says Force is mass times acceleration (F = ma), one can draw conclusions form it. One such conclusion is that when I increase the mass of an object, the force it exerts (in a collision or reaction of some sort) increases. Another conclusion from the same equation is that even with a small mass, I can exert a great force if I increase the acceleration of the body. This conclusions can be tested in real life and demonstrated in nature.

What is Persuasion Alchemy?
Persuasion Alchemy differs from the law of attraction and all other pseudoscientific ideas of how the world works, because it is based on proven scientific laws. This book, and other books in this series will use scientific laws from the physical sciences to demonstrate the mechanisms of human behavior, motivation and persuasion. It, like in the sciences, asks appropriate questions of our world, designs observational experiments to try to answer these questions and draws appropriate conclusions from the results.

In this book, the experiments will be observational in nature and we will be observing and exploring the lives of public figures. We will deconstruct matters of love, the will, relationship dynamics and so much more with real life examples. For example, Persuasion Alchemy will take a Physics Equation such as Force = mass x acceleration and demonstrate how the “force” of Justin Beiber becoming famous is produced by a critical “mass” of a combination of elements accelerating in a vectorally significant direction. Examples will be given in the lives of various public figures about how exactly this process takes place.

The purpose of this first book that you are reading now is to introduce you to fundamental concepts of persuasion alchemy. As we progress in our study, we will delve deeper. We start in this book by establishing our units and physical quantities, and then we progress to One Dimensional Motion in Relationships. In this book, we stop at an introduction to Newtonian Laws. In future books, we will progress to higher concepts such as electricity, magnetism, heat, waves and even quantum mechanics.

If you are a lover of science, a pop culture fanatic, a student of psychology or just another person seeking to gain insight into your own life, this book (and consequential series) is a MUST READ.

Calculating Marriage Longevity

Definitely going in the book.

Repetitive motion

Everything...the whole world...can be summarized by one principle...

The principle of repetitive motion.

Nothing ever changes.

Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

Spiritual matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

If everyone on earth is a spiritual being, and the earth's human population is growing at an exponential rate, where are all the new spirits coming from.

Some may be reincarnated, but others may have come from beings that are being destroyed as new humans are being created.

Where are these beings coming from?

Perhaps, the flora and fauna we are wiping out?

The Power of Agreement

Cosmology of the Kardashian Universe

I saw this magazine in a local CVS immediately regretted that I had nobody to laugh with. I mean, look at Scott! "Does drugs for breakfast". This is hilarious!!! 

The fact of the matter is that the Kardashians did not destroy these men. As a pastor once said, "you can't blame your sin (problems) on anyone else. The world doesn't make you sin, but sets you up and reveals what is already in your heart."

I feel like a whole book could be written on the dynamics of the Kardashian world. I think I'm going to write that book. About the circumstances that brings a man into a dysfunctional environment like theirs and the only way to bring light into such darkness. Not to mention the origin of the black hole that is them which draws people in and hypnotizes them (including lots of the world that can't stop watching).

Nerd Humor | Plotting intoxication on a cartesian plane

In oop, has anyone ever made a class Human that takes drugs as an argument and outputs the string "high as a kite" or some other strange behavior?

This random thought came into my head while watching a Yale professor ask his students why "what were you smoking" could not be a coordinate when plotting one's location on the space-time continuum.

I type these things here, because there's nobody around to giggle, poke and high five when these things happen. :-/

Start watching the following video from minute 1:40 to 2:10. These are the serious issues that science is currently trying to address! ‪#‎themoreyouknow‬ 

On the Quantum Mechanics of Making Plans

People say you should not share your plans, or be careful who you share your plans with, because some people will just send bad energy towards you and make you fail.

I had a co-worker who tried to force me to be more direct with her. "Say what you want," she said forcefully one day.

I had no idea what she was talking about.

I wondered when I left work that day if I was being unconsciously evasive at work.

I would not be too surprised if I realized that were the case.

I don't think that was a safe place, and I later received confirmation that it in fact was not.

The idea of speaking your intention aloud is a controversial one.
Many law of attraction proponents beleive strongly that speaking your intention aloud is what helps it "manifest".
This is also the philosophy of many "name it and claim it" Christians.

I'm not sure I agree.

I'm starting to believe that it may be the case that stating your plans causes it to collapse from its superposition, and depending on the observer, or the person who the experience is shared with, will influence the reality in which your plans collapse.

I had a conversation with my mentor the other day about collapsing realities based on observation and we discussed the idea that the reality that takes place may result from the individual with the "dominant frequency".

The Fractal Nature of the God's Universe

Google's dictionary define's fractal as "a curve or geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. Fractals are useful in modeling structures (such as eroded coastlines or snowflakes) in which similar patterns recur at progressively smaller scales, and in describing partly random or chaotic phenomena such as crystal growth, fluid turbulence, and galaxy formation."


I'm listening to a sermon wherein the pastor is talking about Jesus' parable of a wedding feast where he said "the Kingdom of Heaven is like (a King getting a  bride for his son)." He was talking about it in the sense that all of creation has been about God getting a bride for Jesus. Then I thought about how many theologians talks about the "red thread" and how the Bible is just the telling and retelling of the story of salvation. Then I talk about my car (a gold, hybrid, Toyota Prius) who I named Rebecca after Isaac's wife in the Bible. I thought about how her story is about a a powerful man (Abraham) getting a wife for his son (Isaac). It was that story that led me to name my car Rebecca. It was Rebecca's obedience to and confidence in the Will of God which led her to go above and beyond for the sake of what was God's call for her that led me to name my car after her.

It reminded me of the fractal nature of things….the idea that all things are a fractal of all other things.

That reminded me of this.

Musings on the nature and scalability of "truth" and the "The New Black"

These were my reflections after I saw an article that somehow Pharrell "Happy" Williams has repurposed Blackness and made it "new"…somehow. See the following article for details: http://thegrio.com/2015/04/03/the-new-black-wont-save-you-racism/

Again, I'm not a race bater (I don't talk about it much in polite company), but I like to think deeply about particular issues on a critical level. It has been my tendency and my nature, and I have been unsuccessful in resisting my inclination to ponder in this way. So, forgive me if I offend you. Jesus will reward you for it. ;-)

MY MUSINGS

Let's not talk about certain ideas, because talking about the idea gives it power; but ignoring the idea makes it go away….

There are many "truths" that remain true both on the micro and macro levels. Then there are truths that are not scalable. The laws of Physics stop holding true when you get down to the quantum side of things. The above "truth" seems to sort of hold true for individuals dealing with certain types of conflicts in certain circumstances.

For example, select conflicts that happen within confined boundaries like familial disputes within a home environment (we don't talk about Uncle Ben's dark past, etc.). 

What if you are the only minority in a particular environment. After working with them for a year or two, you have all gotten to know each other and "race" is no longer an issue between you guys. You continue to thrive in this environment and then assume you have the formula for all other people perceived to be in your situation.

"Let's not talk about race," you say, "because talking about race gives racism power. If we ignore the idea of race, people won't have that to use as a weapon. It worked for me."

"How did it work for you?" asks a curious colleague.

"Well, when I stopped thinking about myself as a victim, everything got better."

"Hmmm…." says the colleague. "So, you're saying that if we outlawed references to 'race' and 'racism' and encouraged people in impoverished neighborhoods and countries to stop playing the victim, everything would somehow 'get better'?"

Is Redefinition the answer?

So, maybe ignoring the issue is not the answer.

There is a school of thought (I can't remember if it's in cognitive behavioral therapy) that encourages people who are struggling with depression or other forms of negative thought patterns to challenge those limiting beliefs (or "automatic negative thoughts").

So, if your tendency is to think "I'm a loser", this method suggests you challenge that thought with redefinition, or disproving the idea.

I prefer prayer. #teamJesus

Disclaimer: I don't know what the point of this was. Just rambling, I guess. :-p

Marriage and Family as Physical Vehicles of Blessing Propagation

I wonder what the formula for marriage and family would look like.

Based on the following Facebook comment I made, what do I believe about it?

""I'm not sure people these days really understand the purpose of marriage from a societal, wealth, positioning standpoint. " ….#preachsista I feel like people elevate marriage with this hollywoodized "love" fantasy that is a fairy tale. Love is an action, not a noun! Marriage and the family were established as a vehicle to pass down blessings, not as a feel good event. *smh* #disgusted"

I guess the bond of marriage…the covenant could lead to the creation of very strong bonds (soul ties if you will). The question becomes, can you measure the strength of the force of these bonds (like the bonds with which electrons and protons are connected) and how much force would be required to separate these bonds, and what kind of energy would be released were these bonds to be broken. Woo! That's an exciting concept worth exploring.

Then there's the vehicle…the "substance" of marriage and the family…

If they are a vehicle for passing down blessings, they must possess properties that make the transference of the substance of a blessing possible.

So, the physical question would be, what is the substance of the blessing?

How is it propagated?

What are the qualities of the family and marriage unit that make the propagation possible?

Society would be smarter with no school

I hope to prove some day with the Physics of Life and Love that society would be smarter if school didn't exist.

That would require me to prove that the social environment of school is counter productive to learning.

Displacement: Love and Sacrifice

Stress and Transition

I just cut off a guy I was talking to, because of his offensive behavior. The following is an excerpt from my reflections on the topic, which I feel falls into the category of "Physics of Life and Love":

My cousin and I spoke on Sunday about how it's hard to be in a relationship with a man in transition.
This guy got divorced within the last one or two years.
He's been mixed in with some strange drama at work which he was largely responsible for and may most likely have to start looking for a new job soon.
His parents have recently gone through divorce.

So, he's probably struggling with all of these things.
However, that is exactly why I need to back away immediately.
For a few reasons:
1. He will only continue to treat me the way he is treating me, and his behavior may even get worse as he continues to take out his frustration on me. (last night he kept accusing me of being selfish and angry when I expressed no anger and when the things he was asking of me were unreasonable [i.e. clean his kitchen for him])
2. I would be enabling him to behave this way if I do not take a stand against it (and not by arguing my point, because that only validates him more)
3. He will begin to associate me with this situation and even after it's over he may decide to get rid of me, because I remind him of this situation
4. When he's ready to move on from his present situation, he will most likely want something/someone new that no longer reminds him of this situation (and if he doesn't, he is probably not growing and is remaining in his immature state)

He is also moving to a new apartment (with a bunch of girls), which is another way he is in transition again.

In my attempts to rationalize his behavior, I came up with the idea that he is probably in a state where he feels like tempting and testing the people in his life to see if they will stay with him no matter how unreasonable and difficult he becomes to see if they will stay. I came to this conclusion, because part of the drama at work is with him behaving unreasonable and making demands on top of that. Also, some girl recently dumped him for treating her the same way I feel he treated me. I feel like people in transition do this a lot, because they are in a mind state where things come and go easily and they are probably building "transition momentum" where they see the people in their life as part of the fluidity and disposability of their circumstances. This is probably related to the stress of transition which makes the process of release pleasurable.

Either way, I don't want to get caught up in the cyclone of his hectic life right now.
I originally got involved with him, because his presence was safe and comfortable and provided an escape for me.
Being with him has become a constant source of stress and a strain on my sense of self and well-being.

So, for this reason, I had to cut him off.

I've also considered changing the title of this project to "The Physics of Motivation", but that doesn't sound quite as catchy.

EDIT: I just thought of something. He may even be trying to figure out what part of his life is real right now. That could also explain his behavior. So, he pushes against the people, circumstances and objects in his life as though he's playing a game of emotional Jenga trying to see eek out the blocks in his "life tower", displacing them carefully to see which one his tower can stand without.


It's a dangerous game, because there may be a part of him that wants the whole thing to just fall. Maybe he as he pushes against these blocks, he's feeling like "maybe this next one will relieve the stress" not realizing that the stress is coming from within. The emotional stability must come from within (with help from Above) otherwise, you'll just keep pushing and pushing until even the ones that are of critical importance are gone and your whole tower comes crashing down.

Emotional Momentum

You teach people how to treat you through emotional momentum.

If you let people treat you a certain way, they will continue to treat you like that and the longer they've treated you like that the harder it will be to get them to stop.

Their "body" in motion remains in motion...

Displacement

∆x = x₂ - x₁

Idea of the Day: "Nothing can come out of a person except that which is already within him." -Udochi Okeke

∆x is a derivative of x₂ - x₁ based on x₂'s understanding of x₁.

I'm thinking of giving each emotion a numerical value.

If x₂ understands x₁ as anger the displacement will result in an intensity of anger that is dependent on the value of x₂.

The ability to displace depends on the amount of emotional leverage a person, circumstance or object has over you.

When people have preconceived notions about a person, place, thing, concept or circumstance, it takes a certain dynamic to change their mind.

There are ultimately two "emotions" (for lack of a better word): pain and pleasure.

Introduction

Welcome to the Physics of Life and Love Blog...

On this blog we will attempt to tackle some of the toughest issues of psychology and human behavior using physics principles.

There will be four major branches of this blog:

Mechanics and Dynamics
This is the discipline that leads to the understanding of the nature of moving and static bodies in relation to one another. In relation to the Physics of Life and Love, the bodies in question are the motivations and intentions of human beings.

Electricity and Magnetism


Heat and Waves
