The Ancient Wisdom of Entanglement Theory, the Tao, and Kamidoro Tama
The entanglement theory is as convoluted of a theory as they come. You can spend weeks, months, even years trying to decipher it. Only a trained physicist can truly understand it and all of its ramifications, but it boils down to interconnectedness.
By studying one single aspect of a unit, of a system, of an object, you can understand the whole. It is an entire network of single entities working together as a single larger whole unit. By measuring the individual particles of the whole you can better understand the whole.
For example: you can get a reading for the psychological mood of a society, of a culture, by monitoring commercials/advertising for keywords. As these keywords become more prevalent the mood shifts, as other keywords arise, the mood shifts accordingly. By checking these keywords, we can get a snapshot reading on our cultural mood.
Entanglement comes into play between the systems, when one system, made up of smaller parts, influences another unrelated system also of smaller parts. Because one system is moving up, another system is moving down and because of these actions a third, unrelated system is affected. So, all three of these systems become the smaller particles of a larger system and this larger system affects other larger systems and so on, and they are all connected.
Noetic science and New Thought theory try to marry this tangled mess of interconnectedness together with the power of mind as matter. One principle emerging from the quandary is that a system is operational of its own accord until it is observed, until that snapshot reading occurs and changes it simply because it was observed. So we see that not only does one system affect another system and when it connects with it, even if they are unrelated, but that each system changes the other one simply because it is connected to it.
If we observe keywords emerging in our commercials/advertising and we reject them as a whole, we can change or stabilize the cultural mood of the whole from within. We see that simply thinking about something makes that thing real. We can manifest our own reality one system at a time, simply by thinking about it, observing other systems and changing them to conform to our will.
Lao-Tzu teaches us in Tao Te Ching: The Old Man's Guide to the Virtuous Path, that everything is everything because it exists, and it exists because of Tao. Tao gives life to everything, controls nothing, yet everything returns to Tao. Tao is the bowl, and Tao is the emptiness of the bowl, Tao is what makes it useful. Tao is what connects everything together.
Lao-Tzu didn't need complicated theorems and scientific notations to observe that the natural world around him was all interconnected and changed over time as he observed it, but it was still the same underneath the surface and that sameness could be controlled, it could be manipulated, it could be used to improve other parts of our lives, other systems as it were. That was 2,500 years ago. Verse 58 of Tao Te Ching: The Old Man's Guide to the Virtuous Path explains it this way:
We look but do not see,
We call it invisible.
We listen but do not hear,
We call it inaudible.
We grab but do not grasp,
We call it intangible.
These three names do not the Tao make,
But blend them and they become the one.
One side is not bright,
The other is not dark.
It is always moving towards nothing.
It is the shape of the formless,
It is the shape of the invisible,
It is the shape of the intangible.
We cannot tell if it is coming or going.
Cling to the old ways,
Experience the moment of now,
Know that to follow the path of Tao leads back to the beginning.
Which is nothing.
Focusing the mind on the formless, on the invisible, on the intangible, fills the void with thought matter. Thought matter can, and does, have an affect on everything it connects to, and it changes them.
Thus we come to the art of kamidoro tama, the art of making shiny balls out of wet paper pulp and talcum powder. Please see He's Got the Whole World in His Hands: a Universal Meditation While Creating the Taoist Art of Kamidoro Tama about the meditation process using kamidoro tama. But there is more to the process than a simple guided meditation. We can see the Entanglement Theory and the Tao at work.
We have a bowl. The bowl is useful because of the void. We fill the void with water. Water is the softest, most yielding substance on earth. We use common, everyday toilet paper to create the paper pulp.
We have one system, the bowl, affecting another system, the water, by giving it shape, both affect the third, unrelated system, paper, to change its physical state. The paper breaks down in the water. It's the same paper, only different. Water has filled the voids in the paper by doing nothing more than being water. This system is connected to the next system when we squeeze the water out, forming a dense ball. Water remains trapped in the paper pulp which allows the talc to form a harden surface around the tama. The talc, as a power could not form such a shell without the water trapped inside the tama. The water would eventually evaporate from the tama without the talc shell and the water would have nowhere to be with out the paper core to cling to.
Kamidoro tama demonstrates one system, affecting another, and another, to create a new whole. When a kamidoro tama is shared, given as a gift, its impact is soft and yielding and changes its new environment, one system at a time. As each simple kamidoro tama vibrates in unison, the ancient wisdom of Tao is increased throughout the universe.
