Another look at E = mc²
What if... where "E" represents the Kinetic Energy of an object,
we see it represent "Effect" instead?
And what if we see the "m" not as "mass" but "motive"
and the "c" not as "the speed of light" but "consciousness;"
what then?
...
Effect = Motive (x) Consciousness²
Well, now we have an equation that represents our individual consciousness' and motives effecting our shared reality. Go ahead, let that simmer for a moment.
Effect = Motive (multiplied times) Consciousness²
Why doesn't consciously wishing to win the lottery work to win the lottery?
Well, let's do the math. E=mc²
So, if each individual consciousness (and there's a lot of them!)
have a singular motive to win the big bucks...
and if all of them DID win...
the big bucks would be little bucks
and not really what they wanted.
So, effectively, they're not just wishing to win, they're also wishing to deprive the win from all the others wishing to win.
Each of them denying all the others and hoping only for themselves.
That's a whole lot of collective denying and only each individual willing the win to themselves. It doesn't take a quantum physicist to realize there's more "no one else win" motive going around than "me win" and so the effect is obvious: no one wins.
That was kind of fun! Let's try another one!
On a smaller scale though… something like…Why does group prayer work sometimes, but not every time?
Let's do the math! E=mc²
We know each individual is praying as a part of a prayer group so, let's say they're praying to help Bobby-Sue's ankle break to heal with full recovery; their desired effect for their conscious prayer.
But what about motive?
How many of the prayers are prayed in habit, or obligation, or because they think they should?
How many of the prayers are prayed without believing in their power?
How many of the prayers are genuinely prayed for the healing and recovery of Bobby-Sue?
Could this be why it works sometimes, and not every time?
Whether this equation is but a sliver of a bigger truth, it does make one consider not just what we think and do, but why; and not just as individuals, but as our collective society.
We shouldn't be asking "why is the world like this?"
We should be asking what we can do to change it.
