A wavy field atwinkle with virtual particles,
a field of potentialities, scanning the horizon
for realization. like alpha waves on the alert.
If we force a particle to materialize
into semi-permanence, the wave field collapses,
as other possibilities vanish, fade into other worlds.
Which of the potential virtual particles is destined
to be born. incarnated, clad with materiality?
That is a coincidence of incredibly precise timing;
with incredibly rapid twinkles, we catch it on the run,
in a fraction of a pica-second. in our crude traps.
But it makes no difference which is chosen,
for they are completely fungible, not individuated.
We perceive particles and sometimes waves with fermions,
we perceive waves and sometimes particles with bosons.
But they can change places in super-symmetry.
Matter and radiation are interconvertible at the roots.
And underneath the particles and the waves,
the implicate order lies enfolded. revealed to us only
by the peaks of non-linearity that we cause to materialize
by our probing. Yet all our probes are superficial.
The deep-enfolded reality lacks even time and space,
it is eternal and infinite like Godhead.
The Gods of different religions are twinkling virtual gods,
manifestations of the implicate order evoked by our probing.
We find the response that we seek or are fit to receive,
while others lie deep-enfolded in the Ground of All Being.
We semi-create our virtual gods, but the Eternal Thou or Tao
is forever untouched by our crude tools and clumsy probes.
Thou, the eternal luminous centre of the Mandala of Creation
from which all diverse created forms and patterns flow,
emerge from this furnace as all the manifest partial truths.
They all contain like a hologram all of the implicate order
unfolded.
