Intro: Right ho, darling. Yeh, be home
(spoken) about 8:30. No, no I'll go on a
bike.

Verse: Beethoven's gone but his music lives on,
And Mozart don't go shoppin' no more,
You'll never meet Liszt or Brahms again,
And Elgar doesn't answer the door.
Schübert and Chopin used to chuckle and laugh,
Whilst composing a long symphony,
But one hundred and fifty years later,
There's very little of them left to see.

Chorus: They're decomposing composers,
There's nothing much anyone can do,
You can still hear Beethoven,
But Beethoven cannot hear you.

Verse: Händel and Haydn and Rachmaninov,
Enjoyed a nice drink with their meal,
But nowadays no-one will serve them,
And their gravy is left to congeal.
Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds,
With their highly original sound,
The pianos they played are still working,
But they're both six feet underground.

Chorus: They're decomposing composers,
There's less of them every year,
You can say what you like to Debussy,
But there's not much of him left to hear.

Finish: Claude Achille Debussy, died 1918.
Christophe Willebaud Gluck, died 1787.
Carl Maria von Weber, not at all well
1825, died 1826. Giacomo Meyerbeer,
still alive 1863, not still alive 1864.
Modeste Mussorgsky, 1880 going to parties,
no fun anymore 1881. Johan Nepomuck

All matter exists by virtue of a force. We must assume behind this force
the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the
matrix of all matter.

- Physicist Max Planck, 1944

With these words, Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, described a
universal field of energy that connects everything in creation: The
Divine Matrix.

The Divine Matrix is our world. It is also everything in our world.

It is us and all that we love, hate, create, and experience. Living in
the Divine Matrix, we are as artists expressing our innermost passions,
fears, dreams, and desires through the essence of a mysterious quantum
canvas. But we are the canvas, as well as the images upon the canvas. We
are the paints, as well as the brushes.

In the Divine Matrix, we are the container within which all things
exist, the bridge between the creations of our inner and outer worlds,
and the mirror that shows us what we have created. In the Divine Matrix,
we are the seed of the miracle, as well as the miracle itself.
***
Modern science has now arrived at the place where our most cherished
spiritual traditions begin. A growing body of scientific evidence
supports the existence of a field of energy-the Divine Matrix-that
provides the container, as well as a bridge and a mirror, for everything
that happens between the world within us, and the world outside of our
bodies.

The fact that this field exists in everything from the smallest
particles of the quantum atom, to distant universes whose light is just
now reaching our eyes, and in everything between, changes all that we
have believed about our role in creation. It suggests that we may be
much more than simply observers passing through a brief moment of time
in a creation that already exists.

When we look at "life"-our spiritual and material abundance, our
relationships and careers, our deepest loves and greatest achievements,
as well as our fears and the lack of all of these
things-we may also be looking squarely at the mirror of our truest and
sometimes most unconscious beliefs. We see them in our
surroundings because they are made manifest through the mysterious
essence of the Divine Matrix. For this to be the case, consciousness
itself must play a key role in the existence of the universe.

We Are the Artists, as Well as the Art

As far-fetched as this idea may sound to some people, it is precisely
the crux of some of the greatest controversy among some of the
greatest minds in recent history. In a quote from his autobiographical
notes for example, Albert Einstein shared his belief that we are
essentially passive observers living in a universe already in place, and
one in which we seem to have little influence. "We live in a world," he
said, "which exists independently of us human beings and which stands before us like a great eternal riddle, at least partially accessible to our inspection and thinking."

In contrast to Einstein's perspective, which is still widely held by
many scientists today, John Wheeler, a Princeton physicist and colleague
of Einstein, offers a radically different view of our role in creation.
In terms that are bold, clear, and graphic, Wheeler says, "We had this
old idea, that there is a universe out there, and here is man, the
observer, safely protected from the universe by a six-inch slab of plate
glass." Referring to the late 20th-century
experiments that show us how simply looking at something changes that
something, Wheeler continues, "Now we learn from the quantum world that
even to observe so miniscule an object as an electron we have to shatter
the plate glass; we have to reach in there.So the old word observer
simply has to be crossed off the books, and we must put in the new word
participator. "

What a shift! In a radically different interpretation of our
relationship to the world around us, Wheeler is stating that it is
impossible for us simply to watch the world happen around us.

Experiments in quantum physics do show, in fact, that the act of us
looking at something as tiny as an electron-just focusing our
awareness upon what that electron is doing for even an instant in
time-changes its properties while we are looking. The experiments
suggest that the very act of observation is an act of creation and
that consciousness is doing the creating.

Interestingly, this is precisely the way that the wisdom traditions of
the past suggest our world works. From the ancient Indian Vedas,
believed by some scholars to date to 5,000 B.C., to the 2,000-year old
Dead Sea Scrolls, a general theme seems to suggest that the world is
actually the mirror of things that are happening on a higher realm, or
in a deeper reality. Commenting on the new translations of the Dead Sea
Scroll fragments known as The Songs of the Sabbath Sacrifice, for
example, its translators summarize the content, "What happens on earth
is but a pale reflection of that greater, ultimate reality."

The implication of both the ancient texts and quantum theory is that in
the unseen worlds we create the blueprint for the relationships,
careers, successes, and failures of the visible world. From this
perspective, the Divine Matrix works like a great cosmic screen that
allows us to see the non-physical energy of our emotions and beliefs
(our anger, hate, and rage, as well as our love, compassion, and
understanding) projected in the physical medium of life.

Just as a movie screen reflects the image of whatever or whoever has
been filmed without judgment, the Matrix appears to provide an
unbiased surface for our inner experiences and beliefs to be seen in the
world. Sometimes consciously, oftentimes not, we "show" our
truest beliefs of everything from compassion to betrayal through the
quality of relationships that surround us. In other words, we are like
artists expressing our deepest passions, fears, dreams and desires
through the living essence of a mysterious quantum canvas.

And just as artists refine an image until it is just right in their
minds, in many respects it appears that through the Divine Matrix we do
the same thing with our life experiences.

What a beautiful, bizarre, and powerful concept. Just the way an artist
uses the same canvas again and again while searching for the perfect
expression of an idea, we may think of ourselves as perpetual artists,
building a creation is ever changing and never ending.

The key to doing so intentionally is that we must not only understand
how The Divine Matrix works, we also need a language to communicate our
desires to this ancient web of energy that it recognizes.

The Language That Creates

Our oldest and most cherished wisdom traditions remind us that there is,
in fact, a language that speaks to the Divine Matrix-a language that
has no words and doesn't involve the usual outward signs of
communication that we make with our hands or body. This language comes
in a form so simple that we all already know how to "speak" it fluently.
In fact, we use it every day of our lives. It is the language of human
emotion and belief.

Modern science has discovered that through each emotion we experience in
our bodies, we also experience the chemical changes of things like pH
and hormones that mirror our emotions. Through the "positive"
experiences of love, compassion, and forgiveness, for example, to
the "negative" experiences of hate, judgment, and jealousy, we each
possess the power to affirm or deny our existence in each moment of
every day. Additionally, the same emotion that gives us such power
within our bodies extends our power into the quantum world beyond our
bodies.

It may be helpful to think of the Divine Matrix as a cosmic blanket that
begins and ends in the realms of the unknown and covers everything
between. The blanket is many layers deep and is everywhere, all of the
time, already in place. Our bodies, lives, and all that we know, exist
and take place within the fibers of the blanket. From our watery
creation in our mother's womb, to our marriages, divorces, friendships,
and careers, all that we experience may be thought of as wrinkles in the
blanket.

I admit that while thinking of ourselves as a "wrinkle" in the Matrix
may take some of the romance out of life, it also gives us a powerful
way to think of our world and ourselves. If we want to create new,
healthy and life-affirming relationships, bring healing romance into our
lives, or bring a peaceful solution to the Middle East, for example, we
must create a new disturbance in the field, one that mirrors our desire.
We must create a new "wrinkle" in the stuff that space, time, our
bodies, and the world are made of. This is our relationship to the
Divine Matrix. We are given the power to imagine, dream, and feel life's
possibilities from within the Matrix itself, so it can reflect back to
us what we have created.

We clearly do not know all that there is to know about the Divine
Matrix. Science does not have all of the answers. In all honesty,
scientists do not even know for sure where the Divine Matrix came from.
We also know that we could study it for another 100 years and still not
have those answers. What we do know, however, is that the Divine Matrix
exists. It is here and we may tap its creative power through the
language of our emotions. When we do, we tap the true
essence of the power to change our lives and the world.

The Universe As A Consciousness Computer

In many respects, our experience of the Divine Matrix may be compared to
the software that runs a computer. For both, the instructions must use a
language that the system understands. For the computer, that language is
a number code of 0's and 1's. For consciousness, a different kind of
language is required: one that uses no numbers, alphabets, or even
words. Because we are already part of
consciousness, it makes perfect sense that we would already have
everything we need to communicate with it without the need for an
instruction manual or special training. And we do.

The language of consciousness appears to be the universal experience of
emotion. We already know how to love, hate, fear, and forgive.

Recognizing that these experiences are actually the instructions that
program the Divine Matrix, we can hone our skills to better
understand how to bring joy, healing, and peace to our lives.

Just as all life is built from the four chemical bases that create our
DNA, the universe appears to be built upon four characteristics
of the Divine Matrix that make things work the way they do. The key to
tapping the power of the Matrix lies in our ability to embrace the
four landmark discoveries that link it to our lives in an unprecedented
way.

Discovery 1: There is a field of energy that connects all of creation.

Discovery 2: This field plays the roles of a container, a bridge, and a
mirror for the beliefs within us.

Discovery 3: The field is everywhere (non-local) and holographic. Every
part of it is connected to every other part. And each piece mirrors the
whole on a smaller scale.

Discovery 4: We communicate with the field through the language of
emotion. It is our ability to recognize and apply these realities that
determine everything from our healing, to the success of our
relationships and careers.

We Are Already Healed

Almost universally, we share a sense that there is more to us than meets
the eye. Somewhere deep within the mists of our ancient memory,
we know we have magical and miraculous powers within us-the reminders
are all around us. Modern science has proven beyond any reasonable doubt
that the quantum "stuff" we are made of behaves in seemingly miraculous
ways. If the particles that we are made of can be in instantaneous
communication with one another, be in two places at once, heal
spontaneously and even change the past though choices in the present,
then we can as well. The only difference between those isolated
particles and us is that we are made of a lot of particles held together
by the power of consciousness itself.

The ancient mystics reminded our hearts, and modern experiments have
proven to our minds, that the single most powerful force in the universe
is the emotion that lives within each of us. And that is the great
secret of creation itself: the power to create in the world what we
imagine and feel in our beliefs. While it may sound too simple to be
true, I believe that the universe works precisely this way.

When the Sufi poet and philosopher Rumi observed that we are afraid of
our own immortality, maybe he meant that it is actually the power to
choose immortality that truly frightens us. Just as ancient initiates
discovered that all they needed was a little nudge to get
them to see the world differently, perhaps all we need is a little shift
to see that we are the architects of our world and our fate, cosmic
artists expressing our inner beliefs on the canvas of the universe.

If we can remember that we are the art, as well as the artist, then
maybe we can also remember that we are the seed of the miracle, as well
as the miracle itself. If we can make that small shift, then we are
already healed in The Divine Matrix.

I have longed to live , love and breathe in the rhythm of my soul. I have longed for space. I have longed to do things in my own time and at my own pace. I have longed to be free from stress, pushiness , demands, expectations, judgements. I have longed to be in the flow. To live a simple life of love and ease full of beauty. To live in the NOW , loving what IS . I have longed to use my life for the highest good; to have a meaningful interesting interactive exciting life.

I am a strong independent wilful woman who also needs to be loved and held from time to time when I am littel and vulnerable , I have longed for a soul mate and I have found several along my path or they have found me. I have longed for someone to lean on and to hold me . Fortunately I have always felt the hand of Spirit holding mine. Without this link , life would have been more difficult. Impossible even. I have always felt held and guided by Spirit.

But this is a physical reality with all that that entails. The senses. Sight , sound, smell, taste, touch. As a living , breathing, emotional passionate sensuous being I have also longed for touch ; the experience of physical passion, intimacy , sensual pleasures of all kinds. be it food or sex or enjoying the full moon or a rainbow , a babbling brook , flowing river , waterfall or an ocean full of waves; sinking into a hot fragrant bubble bath after being frozen to the core or after a dusty sweaty hot day of sightseeing in a strange new town; floating naked on my back in a warm salty azure blue sea with the hot sun on my face ! I have longed for stimulating senses... sensuousness.. all the pleasures of the flesh. I have longed to express myself . I have longed to feel safe.I have longed to be seen and understood . ( even though I don't always undertsand myself lol )

Longing for me is in the future and I prefer to be in the NOW with all the present has to offer. When I am longing , I know that I am probably missing what is going on in this sacred instant. Daydreaming is fun though. I like to do it a lot.

So, more of the the same . More of what I have already been given. Maybe one special lover and best friend ?

Thank you for sharing your meditation with me Theres. I know that I am the creator of my reality. You question has helped me start creating for the " sista kvarten " hehehe !
