So, first was a brief description of the meaning of “Transmutation;” we eat and stuff gets created. Next we began the notion of the reciprocation of substances created by the transmutation process of substances taken in and released. But what we’re really after is the transmutation of energies.

They surround us, everywhere. There’s energy coming out of your refrigerator. There’s energy fueling your perceptions of the energy emitted from the screen in front of you. There is energy coming from the sun and from the other stars. Just as sure as everything in existence is a matter of vibration, there is no existence without experiencing energy of one form or another.

The term “transmutation of energy” means turning one form of energy into another. Everything is energy. Matter is static energy, energy waiting to be released. And then there’s dynamic energy, like the waves of light hitting your eyes from the screen before you. Right now you are converting, transmuting the energy your eyes receive into the the electricity of the firing of synapses in your brain and brainwaves communicating with other parts of your brain creating synthesis of new thoughts, different forms of energy still. Along with these brain impulses which, are probably for the most part at least initially automatic, are also impulses in your emotional centers, be they neutral, harmonious, positive, productive, or negative, counterproductive. Which is to say that a positive emotional response elicits the release of endorphins which not only make a person feel good, but also reinforces one’s immune system and natural predisposition to healing. Whereas a negative emotional response releases various forms of poisons into the body which do the opposite, make a person feel worse and weaken immunities. And neutrality is neutrality, much as the feeling being produced in me as I perceive my actions as nothing more at the moment than an engagement of listing facts.

Thus obviously the ideal is to transmute that which elicits a negative reaction into a positive one. For example if one feels revolted by a homeless person they are passing by, the action of offering that person a sandwich or a blanket might transmute their initial negative emotional energy into a positive emotional energy, not merely because they have done something that can make them feel better about themself as a person, but because by further facilitating the continuation of life of a fellow human being, they may have given that fellow human being the opportunity to grow into a person capable of embodying a state of being more positive than the one they currently embody. That person may be inspired to make something to sell, or might seek help for some form of schizophrenia, or, if these possibilities seem too lofty, that person might merely not be inclined to do harm to another later because they won’t have been driven mad by hunger, or, that person might not be a literal dead weight to have to be moved by those working off of our tax dollars. Brutal, but the point is that when one tries to create a positive from what they initially perceive as a negative, the odds go up considerably that something better is going to come of it than if, say, one were to kick the homeless person as they walk by them.

And so it goes with those one encounters in their everyday life. So it goes with one’s coworkers, one’s friends, one’s family, one’s self, one’s environment. One sort of energy can be turned into another; one sort of energy makes things more pleasant and facilitates creation, one sort of energy makes things more unpleasant, facilitates destruction, one sort of energy can be converted either way with ease if intention is put behind it.

Next week, the picture these three pieces make.

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Transmutation Turtles . . .” That was what the series was originally going to be called, I just know it . . .

Okay, back to the business at hand: Transmutin’ stuff. In this case I’m converting food previously ingested into energy so that I can take the understanding converted from thoughts and experience I previously ingested and turn them into concepts that will be converted from brain waves into the action of listing them via the energy from the food eaten and the volition of the thoughts created. Then the energy from the tapping at hand will create the configuration of energy affecting the change on my screen, convert to a different energy that can travel through the cables and reconvert into the form more or less resembling the one being created now for the ingestive sake of eyes and brains consuming it, which in turn will be converted into brain waves, the firing of synapses, and the grounds for future transmutations to come . . . What the hell did I just “say?”

I derive the notion of transmutation of energies giving one’s life purpose from a guy who listed his views to be consumed about a century ago. According to this particular teaching, the universe is sustained via a reciprocal exchange of energies amongst all of the universal bodies. If this notion is true, what it means is that we are processing various universal substances to send out to other planetary bodies’ sustenance just as they are sending similar substances to us for our continued existence. For example, the energies of the sun make life grow here on Earth; that’s the obvious one, I’d speculate about other bodies, but I figure that’ll be enough for now.

So, one’s existence boils down to turning stuff into other stuff for the subsistence of other entities that exist as more than the sum of its parts. It’s easier to look at how the Sun helps us than it may be to see how Earth helps any other celestial body. One need not look to so large a scale, however, to be able to observe how we effect other existences via the energies and substances produced from our own intake of substances.

Let’s start with transmutation of substance. Last post I already talked about the effects of mastication. Before going into something as subtle as energy, lets talk about the slightly more substantial result of the much more subtle matter transmuted by breathing. Oxygen comes in from plants and trees, carbon dioxide goes out to plants and trees, carbon dioxide goes into plants and trees, oxygen comes out of plants and trees, oxygen comes in from plants and trees, carbon dioxide goes out to plants and trees. This is just about the most basic example there is of reciprocated exchange of transmutated substances. In other words, on the most basic level, we exist so that everything else can exist too.

Given that by design we are not merely existing to gratify our desires, other culturally prevalent notions about self gratification immediately can be seen to possibly lead folks away from a harmonious coexistence with the rest of reality if those notions are believed. In other words, this song aint about you, though I believe you’ll feel immediately more gratified if you learn to sing along.

In response to a comment about a reference I made in an earlier posting, that reference being about one existing so as to “transmute energy,” without further delay:

Transmutation of energy, ah yes . . .

The Basics:

On the most basic level, we eat. We take in a particular substance, and turn it into other substances by transmuting it via our various bodily functions, the first of which being mastication. And as a result of the initial intake of what we commonly refer to as food, what is created is various forms of matter capable of building the cells that sustain our various organs and workings; that is of course aside from the waste that feeds other manifestations of existence; soil insects, etc . . . So the basics is that from ingestion of food our bodies can grow, heal, and be sustained on the one hand, and on the other hand seeds can be planted, spiders and birds can eat, etc . . . Food is transmuted from one form into others. And a part of this basic food transmutation is the transmutation from solid substance into a form of substance that ultimately is utilized by the body as energy, i.e. fat. And that energy keeps the metabolism going which enables foods to be transmuted, almost like a sort of perpetual motion machine that works via the process of food intake. That is to say, we peoples work as a perpetual motion machine dependent on the two principles of taking in substance from outside so as to transmute them inside.

The beginning of the none-basics:

What we commonly refer to as food may be considered as not necessarily that which is very literally ingested orally. Food may be considered as anything taken in by a being. For example, water, air, or light. Sound could be considered food; touch. Or perhaps food isn’t the word so much as stimuli, but not just stimuli, substance. The substance of oxygen, the substance of light waves, the substance of sound waves, the substance of the electrons effecting communication in one’s mind via the stimulus effecting sensory organs. When one comes down to it, anything outside of ones being that enters one’s being can be considered as food.

The reason for considering stimulation as food is because what is taken in is changed, converted, transmuted, into something different. And by law, something on the one hand more subtle, and on the other hand more coarse. From one substance, two substances are derived, which in turn are processed into other substances, which sometimes result in the creation of the original substance, and sometimes creates something else altogether. This is the basic principle for the complex processes of the great turning of substances and energies into other substances and energies within the human form so that some part of those substances and energies are returned to outside the human form for the utilization of other processes in the universe, Earth or otherwise. The human form takes stuff in, turns it into other stuff, uses some of it, and sends the rest back out for other processes in the universe to utilize, and for that matter live by, just as humans live by substances taken in from outside of them.

This is the basics of transmutation. Next I’ll describe why this answers the question of what the usefulness is of being alive as a being privy to the inevitability of the suffering of its own existence.

Chou!
