did you know that we are songs?
just thought i’d point this out… the model of an atom is just that: a model; no more, no less. it is a convenient way of describing what we cannot directly experience. see, atoms sometimes act as particles, and sometimes as waves. how to reconcile this? string theory helps out. according to string theory, subatomic particles are actually more akin to little loops of string… that vibrate. shamans (as well as occultists of practically every stripe) have known about this for years. all matter is essentially nothing more substantial than light, or music (though obviously in a difficult spectrum to articulate in art). but the point is that we are just that: spectra. furthermore, the way that a string vibrates has some kind of relation to one or more of the four fundamental forces of nature (the weak, the strong, the electromagnetic, and the gravitational forces), giving us the appearance of more substantial stuff. but when it all comes down to it, we are all made of starsongs.
i witnessed Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle in action the other day! hail Eris indeed… i had a bowl of pretzels in hand, and as i crunched, a small piece about an inch or so long fell down and landed in the bowl. so what’s the big deal? it fell in such a way that it hit the outer edge of the bowl’s rim, with the greater part of its mass, which should have sent it hurtling towards the floor instead! i was weirded out for a second there, but of course we all know how oddly subtle goddess can work when She’s bored. freaky-ass beeyatch.
