Nuclear power – in our holographic Family Universe.

I have developed this web site because I have come to see over a period of many years that there is ample evidence, mostly coming from our work with nuclear power, of the Atomic World being more social and sentient than our physics, on its’ own, can see or describe to us.

If we can relax the grip that the scientific method has on our way of looking at our Universe, and attend with wonderment to the subjective qualities and effects of nuclear power – this kind of curiosity then allows us to glimpse the whole living nature of the Atomic World.

I feel we are like Christopher Columbus, in that we have discovered an whole new continent of Life. But instead of it being “off to one side of the known world”, as his powerful Euro-centric mind saw the Americas, this newly discovered territory is down below and inside of where we are, in this shared symmetrical multi-dimensional Universe.

The Columbus analogy continues, in that we are now behaving like Cortez and his soldier companions, who followed in the wake of Columbus, came to Mexico and immediately set about dismantling and plundering the established Aztec civilisation for its’ gold and silver – that were then sent back to Spain.

We are behaving in a similar manner, with our nuclear reactors, which in effect dismantle the tribal-like particle communities that we know as ‘uranium’, and robs the Atomic World of the golden and silvery energy that lives amongst and within the particles. We use the golden stuff to make our electricity. And manufacture weapons which work by releasing vast quantities of these metaphysical forces into our world in a moment of our time.

When I was a young man, I worked in Canada as a geologist, employed for a while in a search for uranium. That work acquainted me with the physics of the atom. I was intrigued by the confident statement of nuclear physics, how “Four interactive Forces” are sufficient to explain all the behaviour of the particles. This fundamental insight provides the basis for the development of our nuclear weapons and reactors.

During this time, I was married and pleased to become a father. While reflecting on our family and its’ dynamics and general well-being, the realisation dawned on me that those same four forces were equally present in our family life, and could be seen (or felt) to be responsible for all our social processes and behaviour.

The ‘Four interactive Forces’ are studied by physics from the ‘outside’, for their objective nature. We can equally well know them from the ‘inside’, for their subjective effects which we feel working within us. I have created a file with this ‘four forces’ name, to identify the different nomenclature we use to describe what are in effect the very same universal forces.

That was a significant realisation: of how the same kinds of energy are in the atoms as are in ourselves and in our families. Searching for an explanation of this phenomena brought me to the universal principle known in ancient times by the phrase – “as above, so below”. This principle was “re-discovered” in the 1970′s by quantum theorists (David Bohm at al), who named it as the “holographic nature of our Universe”. Christ seems to refer to this same wisdom with His comment – “In my Father’s house are many rooms (many dimensions).” I find this universal principle makes the Universe thoroughly sensible, and it allowed me to look down into the Atomic World and begin to recognise the familiar and family nature of this next door, next floor down, dimension.

It feels important that we include in this discussion an awareness of our dual-processor, left and right hemisphere brain. Our brain is made for dualistic thinking. In other words, for modelling objective and subjective information. By treating these different kinds of data as being of equal value, we can form holograms of the subject under consideration in our mind’s eye.

The nuclear industry, academia, the military, even the anti-nuclear people, only allow left brain considerations into their understanding of the nuclear subject. A strangely lop-sided way of looking and thinking about this profound subject. Any creature in the wild who only uses half of their facilities of awareness becomes vulnerable.

I later worked at Dounreay, the nuclear reactor site in northern Scotland. And being by now aware that metaphysical interpretation can illuminate the nuclear processes, I sought on several occasions to experience what radiation feels like. There was a laboratory located beneath the reactor hall where used fuel rods were cut up for metallurgical examination. Everyone who worked in that lab acknowledged the uneasy feelings in the place. The women on site were very reluctant to go there. The men were stoic, it was part of the job. The graduate student who came to do research in the lab, his hair turned white during that winter. But the dosimeters showed nothing untoward. I would go and sit quietly in the long room with the lead glass windows that looked into the chamber with the dissected fuel rods, and just feel what it felt like being there. Always there was the same basic effect, like sitting in slow moving waves of hot sadness. That experience underlined my growing realisation that the realm of the atomic particles is far more social and sentient than our physics is able to register and describe for us.

In this mood, I came upon a series of photographs, taken by the French military when they were testing a nuclear device in the South Pacific. Our feelings of apprehension for the nuclear weapons often get in the way of our being able to look evenly at images of this event. But an interest in the social processes going on inside of this fast moving reaction provides us with a profoundly new – and yet ancient – sight of a very familiar universal process.

Look into the processes of nuclear fission with both sides of our “dual-processor” brain switched on, and soon enough we can recognise the masculine and feminine nature of the two “energetic entities” that form themselves out of the vast field of nuclear energy released from matter.
Observe the behaviour of these “engendered energetic entities”. We glimpse them acquiring form, and immediately becoming conscious of and attracted to the other. Observe their behaviour with mythic and social interest, and see how we are watching an event that is charged with their love and longing for each other. There is clearly an act of sexual congress. It is like an atomic version of Romeo and Juliet. This universal story gets acted out at close to the speed of Light, so we are lucky to glimpse even this much of their romantic process.

The physical intensity of the passionate union of these “pure-energy” beings spills out into our human dimension: which is the intention (but not the understanding) of the military. The nuclear industry meanwhile must work to contain this effect when they replicate the fission process in their nuclear reactors.

I have written a fuller account of what I believe is going on for these two “atomic beings”, in the file marked “Nuclear Fission = the burning power of Love.”

An awareness of the holographic principle refreshes our eyesight, so that we can look into the processes of nuclear fission and begin to recognise the social content of this phenomena. Our nuclear technology unwittingly taps into the enormous presence of Love and sexual energy that lives and works amongst and between the particles, as much as these universal forces are present in our human selves.

Because an holographic perception of our planetary system helped me to recognise the ‘four forces’ bouncing around in our family, which in turn brought me to see “holographic nature of our Universe”, I have created a file about this initial perception, naming it “Holographic Astronomy”.

In brief, I see how we have the possibility to look at our planetary system both from the outside and from the inside. Each way of looking creates a different understanding of the system.

The outside view, typically the knowledge of Modern Astronomy, describes the physical form of our planetary system. The inside view maps our experience of the whole field of Light which we see and feel coming down to us in the course of a year.

The inside experiential view shows how we are within a year-in-the-making quantum field of particle and waveform energy. These are the features that traditionally describe a unit of Light in the Atomic World, which we know as a ‘photon’. The holistic view of our planetary system indicates that the Earth, and everything on it, is within the dynamic lighting effect of an “heavenly photon”. This feels to be a thoroughly sensible insight, building as it does on the prevailing wisdom that Light is a “Constant” in the processes of the Universe. We should, in other words, expect quantum units of Light to have the same universal structure regardless of the scale at which we observe or experience its’ effect.

It is worth noting that the ‘heavenly photon’ is entirely invisible to astronomers who look at this same system, but only from the outside. It is also worth developing a symbolic and mythic description of this heavenly process, which sees how the Moon and Sun together create a silvery field of feminine power contained by a golden band of masculine strength. This heavenly effect looks remarkably similar to the field of family energy which parents on average generate around their child(ren).

Herewith is a classic example of the symmetry and workings of the holographic principle, wherein identical energetic processes can be seen and felt to be at work in every level, in every dimension, of this well-ordered Universe.

I would further suggest that the holographic model opens the way for us to look with greater curiosity at the “whole extended family nature of our planetary system”. There seem to be complex social relationships at work and play between the Sun and the planets and the moons of the planets. Stories that can be teased out to tell us more about the history of this planetary family. Even as we imagine and develop an inquiry about the family nature of our planetary system, so we open a door to looking downstairs into the Atomic World and seeing how similar forces and processes are at work and play down in there.

The ‘holographic nature of our Universe’ is not always easy to discern. It fades from general awareness when either science or religion acquire dominion, one over the other, in the collective mind of society. This underlying and overarching principle becomes more apparent when scientific knowledge and spiritual experience are treated as being of equal value. When masculine strength and feminine power are more-or-less in balance, which feels like the mood and quest of our time.

We humans, we Humanity, have a central place in this family-based holographic Universe. The atomic particles are as the next level of life, downstairs from where we are in this whole sensible integrated universal system. The ‘holographic principle’ suggests that we humans, we Humanity, have the resources to influence events at the particle level with an infusion of this dynamic of universal forces that are contained in the photon pattern that is in our heavens, in our family systems, and as unit of Light at the atomic scale of things. I like to believe that within this observation of universal processes, we can develop a collective spiritual technology that can address the pain and hurt that now resides in the body of the fissioned particles: which form the radioactive waste materials that issue from our nuclear reactors.

I comment further on this idea in the file marked “An healing approach to radiation”. If this approach proves real, then we have the beginnings of a commercial process that could treat our radioactive waste materials. If this approach proves real, then the nuclear weapons also begin to look vulnerable and mutable, more than we have so far cared to consider. And doors open for an whole lot of other adventures and endeavours in the Atomic World, more than I can yet imagine.

Summary

My thesis, which is neither new nor especially mine, is that we need a knowledge that values equally the objective and subjective aspects of the nuclear subject: which is virtually the same as a knowledge of the physics and the metaphysics of the atom.

A synthesis of these two different but complimentary forms of knowledge then generates an holographic perception which helps us see the universal nature of the particle world. This in turn highlights the universal nature of us humans, of us Humanity.

My overall sense of our nuclear work is that we are in a cycle of “history repeating itself”. The Christopher Columbus analogy refers to this pattern of human behaviour. Another example can be seen in the quest for military and commercial advantage which drove our British antecedents to colonise and exploit Africa. These same imperious forces now drive our present-day (multi-national) venture to colonise and exploit the sub-continent of “Atomica”.

Our work in the Atomic World causes a phenomenal new level of pain and suffering to live within the fissioned particles. We know this effect as radiation, and seek to hide it from our awareness by talking about the subject in the cold hard language of science. In this context, I’d suggest that what goes on inside of the nuclear reactors is the modern equivalent of the Atlantic Slave Trade.

As always, we have the opportunity to turn this situation around. The bottom line is that there is no going back. We can not forego our nuclear knowledge. But we can take the plunge and go more fully into the Atomic World. Consider and test how we might develop healing processes within this next level of life in our shared universal home. This feels like the path waiting to be explored.

Dear Visitors … I developed this website because I find there is good reason to believe that the Atomic World is like another dimension of Life, in this our shared multi-dimensional Universe.

I keep writing about this whole insight, because it is in marked contrast to the outcome of our scientific approach, which mostly looks at phenomena from the outside. My account seeks to ‘slip through the hedge’ and look at the systems that form our Universe – from the inside.

Meanwhile, I have prepared a “younger” web site, which presents the same material as this one, but says it more slowly. If you are interested, go to www.nucleargodeeper.com

Thanks and good wishes. Ian Turnbull.
