If energy vibrates very slowly, it forms matter, whence our physical universe — which is, especially now, a truly challenging place, filled with “dense” people. 😉
And why do we call people who refuse to understand reality “dense”? Hmmm?
Here is an example of the exact same substance when vibrating at three different frequencies (or “energy levels” or “states”), with the atoms moving very slowly back-and-forth (as in ice), somewhat faster (water), and very fast (steam):
And, of course, hot water, being close to the temperature of steam, cleans our dirty dishes best, because the atoms in hot water are vibrating rapidly, and literally scrubbing — buzzing back and forth — against the big, fat grease molecules!
This is why cold water is not so good for doing the dishes. The molecules of water at this low vibration are barely moving.
Higher vibration is better…. unless you want some ice cubes in your lemonade, bourbon or Coke. 😉

….Spiritual reading for July 27
And the days wing by, one after another, faster and faster. Or slower and slower. Perception—it is about this that we wish to speak to you today.
You know just how powerful it is, how it can shape your experience and your very being in many cases.
The trick is to keep it uppermost in your consciousness. Perception is a function of many different facets all working together, externally and internally. Each perception already perceived contributes to the next, and that to the one after it.
You tend to build the structure of your life upon a scaffolding of previous scaffolds. This, as you can see, is a potentially dangerous route to take. It could and sometimes does work out well—a clear outlook of any sort produces perception that is consistent and has the integrity to be maintained. Thus one avoids the inconvenient intrusion of raw reality.
But if you want to really know what is going on, it is necessary to separate your own perception from events and from the energies which exist regardless of whether and how you see and feel them.
This can be extremely difficult. After all, you have been striving to make sense of, to master, to find your place in this life using the very instruments that take the life itself and form it into your personal perceptions.
To step back from this hard-learned pattern feels awkward, uncomfortable and somehow not-enough for many humans who attempt it.
But it can change your life, and lead you into a relationship with truth you never imagined. Which is why we bring it to your attention today.
You may meditate (or something like), which, in basic theory, should lead to something similar to that which we are describing.
You know that it is good to still your mind, to make space, to breathe. But you can take this into your every interaction if you want to.
These days, there is much changing and changing quickly. There is pain on a scale difficult to even describe that filters through your life from without, even if you are not aware of it.
The pressures are great, in other words. If you can remove even a little bit some of the layers of personal experience and expectation that build upon nearly all of these occurrences, you will be freer and happier. You will be less bound by the past and more open to what could be, right now.
If you are still with us, and get the gist of what we are saying, you will probably want some advice on just how to accomplish this.
Sadly, we have no magic pills. But we can tell you that your emotional life and your physical being provide very reliable information. Your heart will tell you when something is “amiss.”
Your body is an exquisite truth-telling instrument that will not let you ignore those situations where perception creates unease.
When you are aware that you are uncomfortable, then you have the opportunity to stop. Stop and recall that nothing is as it seems to you on frst look. Clear the perception. Drop it. Then you will be able to look for the reality that remains.
Animals developed the ability to perceive in order to survive. Earthlings have distorted this mechanism so that it works to protect the survival of the ego. It is time for the separation and the destruction caused by ego to collapse. To this end, perceptions that support ego become increasingly painful while glimpses of raw reality begin to be welcomed without fear.
So trust in your experience of discomfort, be it emotional or physical, to point you toward those places where your interpretation of reality is separating you from truth and from love.
Take your cue and try to follow it to a different and more neutral understanding of whatever is before you. Meditate in action, if you will.
Again, this is not a practice, but rather a way to live more successfully and peacefully. It is also a way to change the world. Stop trying to own bits of it and allow it to be solely and completely what it is. You would ask the same for yourself.
We send great love and all our blessings.

Kant asserted that unless a concept could be constructed in the imagination it was not scientific. On this basis he denied that both psychology and chemistry were true sciences; and that the only true science were physics.
Now energy cannot be constructed in the imagination. Motion can be constructed in the imagination, but not energy.
The concept of energy arose in connection with the industrial revolution. Viewed from a Kantian perspective it is a technological concept, not a truly scientific one.
Kant conceived matter in terms of motion. Matter was that which could be moved.
Kant asserted that Physics was the only true science. And he asserted that we habitually think we have knowledge when we really only have mere belief.
The question of the limits of knowledge was something he sought to determine. And this led to the development of his unique metaphysics in which the thing-in-itself is unknown and what we know are appearances of it.
In Kant’s metaphysics the mind has two faculties: (a) sensibility, which is the ability to be affected from without, and (b) spontaneity or thought, in which it produces representations from naught.
The object of experience is a synthesis of representations received through sensibility, the forms of which are Space and Time (both of which exist in the mind), which sensible representations are brought together and unified by the spontaneity of thought according to innate concepts called Categories, of which there are 12.
Thus the object of experience is largely a creation of the mind. It’s existence is not created but every aspect of it’s intelligible form has been created.
It is because of this that a material object absolutely obeys law when it moves and when it collides with other material objects. And this is how Science is possible.
