Zero Point Field

For those of you unfamiliar with zero point field I am grateful because I know I can offer a simplified if not inaccurate explanation as I understand it and you will question not. You won't fact check. You will not cross reference. You will simply check one of three mental boxes: buy it, don't buy it, or huh. No matter because I write mostly to transfer these cumbersome thoughts in my own head to yours. But of course any writer knows that's a lie because I could just as easily journal somewhere private if that's what I really wanted. I want an audience. I want to be liked. I want to be at least deemed funny-ish. And sometimes I get a little off track. And contrary to what high school english attempted to teach me I am not afraid to start a sentence with and, but or because nor am I skiddish about ending a sentence with a preposition. Full disclosure.

Zero Point Field(ZPF) is a place of endless, regenerating energy. I understand it to be like the paddle in the old video game Pong. It is that thing which makes the ball go. It is not always certain which direction or speed the ball will travel but we know the paddle is making things happen. ZPF is like that but different in that the paddle is huge and it's wavy and it's kind of everywhere at once. And the ball or the speck of energy, electron, is also everywhere and in constant movement. And the little balls of energy keep coming back to the ZPF and then keep on keeping on after that. It never stops. Essentially the space around us is filled with infinite motion and energy all powered by the pong paddle or ZPF.

This is an exciting find for quantum physicists because, well, really who else could get excited about that? The potential in the ZPF for all of us commoners though lies in the theories and ideas that suggest if we could find a way to tap into that unending supply of energy the implications for what is possible on our planet are pretty vast. Maybe we can power trips all over the galaxy. Power cars, machinery, and of course eventually power ourselves. This last potential is what interests me most.

In the spiritual and perhaps new age realm where my brain tends to spend a lot of its time there is often scientific theory poached from the quantum physics field of study. There are interesting parallels that can be surmised. In terms of the zero point field and the use of the energy source it suggests a connection among things not seemingly connected. It has implications for a potential harnessing of those mental energies. Basically it is you who can create your life. If we become aware of these energies we could, for example, maybe use thoughts and mental energies to create events. Thoughts have energy and power and if we can learn to direct that power we can be...powerful. I'm not talking about world domination or tricking people. I'm talking about using the power we've used all along but purposefully this time. For example, we tend to believe events happen and then we react. In reality, it is probably something closer to we are helping at least in part along with other human agents to create this reality or these events. If we become more aware of how that happens we could possibly avoid things like war or famine or obesity or tabloid magazines. Okay it's just a thought and perhaps not nearly a cohesive one but I'm gonna do some mental experiments to see if I can use some of this energy in my own life. I will keep you posted on that. In the meantime, remember we are not victims but rather agents in a vast sea of energy. Learn to swim.
