From the color of sheep and warning lights to emotions

Continuing from The driver, the dashboard and the car

Color is a spectrum , and in it’s most simple form it can easily be inventoried as follows.

An important observation here is that you can place “Black” and “White” at either side of the center or edge. The “opposite” of this inventory could easily be this. (And also the direction of spin is reversed here by the way, which I hope will start opening up the 3 dimensional model of spheres instead of circles.  Whenever I use a circle it is actually a 2 dimensional representation of a sphere)

This distinction only depends on the direction you choose to take and what you choose to orbit. It is also important to point out that if the entirety of reality only existed of 2 “entities” orbiting each other, let’s say a black one and a white one and there would be nothing else then neither of these entities can even verify they are even orbiting each other. All they can determine is that the other one is “there” in opposition to itself and it is therefor this relationship that defines it.

But without a third entity they would be suspended there in absolute stillness.

It is only when both of them decide to evaluate their mutual position to an agreed third point of reference that they can start defining their relationship with each other.  It is only then that they can determine their mutual distance , or that their distance might be changing.  And this is then the only type of relationship that those two entities can define amongst themselves.

Dimensions are nothing more then how many different mutual points of reference two entities choose to entertain amongst themselves and every layer in infinite complexities can “choose” to agree on frames of references with infinite other layers.

But more on all of that later.  For now, it is enough to point out that “color” isn’t as simple as you might think and also a gateway into infinite complexity both “down” and “up”, but it’s a “dimension” I need to add to the vocabulary before I can answer the questions I was trying to answer.

So far we have been talking about colorless sheep and warning lights, or to be more precise : I haven’t added the dimension (or layer as I like to call it) of color and since I don’t believe that anything can be “binary” but always on it’s way to either threshold of the wave...   we’re going to immediately add the full color spectrum in its infinite spherical form to our sheep and dashboard warning lights.

When my proverbial herd of sheep roams through the landscape and encounters another herd of sheep , it/he/me/us can’t see the other herd’s shepherd or dog.

When my car drives around the landscape it/he/me/us cannot see  the driver or it’s dashboard.

And this was one of my roughest lessons for me to learn by the way. A painful process of learning that gave me an incredible gift. Just like all lessons do. But we’ll be diving into the process of learning later on as well so I’m happy and afraid we can skip that for now.

The sheep are the herd and it is their combined behavior and pattern of group that creates their shepherd and their dog. There isn’t actually a dog or a shepherd since they do not need one. But when for instance the entire herd is thirsty after traversing a particularly dry mountain range and some of the sheep observe a river in the valley then it is all of their individual thirst that guides the entire group towards the river. It is never the entire herd that observes the river at the same time , since only the sheep that just crossed the peak of the last mountain can observe it. Only the sheep in front know there is a river down there and before they crossed the mountain peak they had no clue it was even there.

But apparently some of these sheep were in front , because of whatever direction the herd was moving into. What happens in that scenario is that a wave ripples through the herd and I always find it an amazing process to experience it in as much detail as I can.

It is only because my herd was crossing the dry mountain range that my entire herd was thirsty. And before any of my sheep reached the peak , all of my sheep were laboring up a dry and rocky mountain. Thirsty, laboring after such a long climb, all of our muscles aching and burning but still moving forward. Some sheep were up front and some sheep were behind...  some are trying to find easier ways across the mountain by moving horizontally around it at whatever altitude that single sheep found it self.

But at that stage , just before any sheep crossed the mountain there was only work to be done without knowing anything about the other side of the mountain. There was hope of course, and in most cases it is the sheep of hope that leads the way in those cases. That sheep of hope is perfectly suited to lead the herd at that moment. It does not waver even though every muscle in his body is burning and his lungs are on fire from the thin air.

That sheep of hope is usually supported by the sheep of love (there are many of them in my herd, so it has a lot of support) and it is also constantly being whipped by the sheep of sacrifice. At the same time that sheep of hope that is leading is being yelled at by the sheep of duty. The sheep of hope thankfully absorbs all the motivations of love, trust, motivation , sacrifice and duty and it is built up out of the herd behind it.

The herd thus forms it’s own shepherd based on whatever the landscape requires it to be. It finds itself in a situation of thirst and uncertainty and thus requires a shepherd of hope to guide it , constructed , nurtured and motivated by the other sheep.

In the same way the herd also created it’s own dog. If I was able to observe my herd from above I would be able to observe the patterns of movement as if a dog was there. The groups of clusters of sheep behave as if there is a ghost of a dog orbiting the group.

It’s sort of like looking at a large school of fish being hunted by a seal...  but then taking the seal out of the picture.  The herd is the dog , but there is no dog.  The herd is the shepherd but there is no shepherd.

There are only sheep.

And then the temporary shepherd sheep of hope crosses the mountain peak. The threshold is surpassed and a ripple effect bursts through the herd even while most of the herd is still blind to whatever is on the other side of the peak.

“There is a river down there!” is what the sheep of hope can observe and it becomes incredibly excited. The sheep of love, trust, motivation, sacrifice and duty are close to it and feel the mood of that sheep of hope change immensely. Before it was suffering and now it seems incredibly happy with just the flick of a switch. They cannot help but get excited themselves and so do all the sheep behind them.

The wave ripples through the herd and even the straggler sheep halfway up the mountain get excited and start to run faster up the mountain as if pushed forward by the dog. The guidance of the sheep of hope, that they can no longer see (and haven’t even seen ever since they started up this mountain, since they are halfway and the sheep of hope just crossed the peak) guides them from behind all of a sudden.  A burst of energy is given to them and they run as if pushed forward by the dog.

And this “ripple” passing through the herd at that moment is where we need to add the dimension of color.

The “color” of something is simply a representation of it’s wavelength.

And there are only 2 ways that

can change it’s wavelength.

The first way is to start spinning at a different speed while staying at the same size , and the other way is to change the size while spinning at the same speed.

Both “how’s” while have the same result , which is to change the wavelength which means that the color changes from the perspective of the observer.

But this doesn’t change the relationship between the two entities that make up

in any shape or form.

In the universe made up only out of that one thing orbiting another nothing really changes at all. If no other points of reference are entertained those two points have no way of evaluating any change. They are both still just hanging there in absolute stillness.

It is only in the relationship with something outside of it, in the relationship with other entities, that it’s relative wavelength has any meaning.

It is the observer that determines the color of what it sees , because it is also the relative speed and size of the observing entity that determines what color it sees.

When the sheep of hope crosses the mountain peek , you could say that it becomes “bigger” , which changes it’s wavelength from the perspective of all the other sheep and thus the sheep of hope changes color as seen by the other sheep.

When the sheep of hope crosses the mountain peek, you could say that it becomes “faster”, which changes it’s wavelength from the perspective of all the other sheep and thus the sheep of hope changes color as seen by the other sheep.

When the sheep of hope crosses the mountain peak, you could say that all the other sheep become “smaller” , which changes the wavelength of all the other sheep and thus the sheep of hope changes color as seen by the other sheep.

When the sheep of hope crosses the mountain peak, you could say that all the other sheep become “slower” , which changes the wavelength of all the other sheep and thus the sheep of hope changes color as seen by the other sheep.

What this means is that before the moment of the sheep of hope crossing the threshold of the mountain peak , all of the sheep were “in synchronization” and they all looked “colorless” to each other united in a single goal of climbing the mountain. Since if they are all in synchronization and working towards a singular purpose they all have different colors when one sheep is looking at another sheep. But they also form one singular color when observed from something outside of the herd.

The combination of all the different wavelengths and frequencies are in relationship with each other and thus form a combined complex entity with a single frequency and thus they uniformly create one new “larger color” together as long as they are all “synchronized” into a single purpose.

When working towards a common goal this “herd-sphere” is showing to have one single color , one single wavelength and one single frequency. But it is a very complex single color since the single frequency is a complex one.

Most people are misguided about frequencies and wavelength because they are mostly shown as singular entity sinus waves like this.

But this oversimplified construct betrays many layers of complexity of reality. It is simply a theoretical framework because there is no “single” entity because any entity can only be defined by it’s relationship with another entity or the original entity simply isn’t there.

So it is simply impossible to ever observe this single perfect sinus wave in anything and this is why perfection is always unattainable. We can only try to get as close to it as possible, but reaching it would mean absolute oblivion because as soon as you reach it you have had to remove the relationship with anything else and then “pooof”...   you’re back at nothing.

So everything is a combined frequency of multiple entities , and they add up in to ever increasing complexity like so.

Most people intuitively feel like it’s impossible to deconstruct this “combined amplitude” back into it’s individual components but that is luckily not the case.

ry clever mathematician called Joseph Fourier figured out a “Transform” function back in 1822 that enables us to definitely identify the unique frequencies of wave 1 and Wave 2 , when it is only given the input of the combined amplitude wave in the figure above here.

What I mean with the “larger color” of the herd , made up out of all the colors of each individual sheep , is simply this combined amplitude wave made up out of Wave 1 and Wave 2. (But it’s not just 2...  it’s infinite complexities in both directions)

And any frequency in “balance” or “In Phase” has a single “simple” frequency as long as it is “in phase”.

When it is “in balance” or to put it even more simply...   when it is what we call “stable”.   

When it “repeats” in whatever complex frequency.  

When it “orbits” something.

At the moment just before the sheep of hope crosses the mountain peak , the herd is stable in a single color and when the sheep of hope crosses the mountain the entire herd goes into an instantaneous state of “flux”.

When another herd looks at this herd crossing the mountain peak it is showing a single uniform color (and whatever color that is, is determined just as much by the relative size and speed of the observing herd,  as by the relative size and speed of the herd being observed ) and at the moment of the sheep of hope crossing the peak that entire “sphere” of that herd suddenly explodes into ripples of all colors of the rainbow and these ripples flow across the surface of that “herd sphere” until it has reached “phase” again. 

My herd wont be “in phase” again until all my sheep have crossed the peak and have all adapted back into a stable state as determined by the new realities of the other side of the mountain.

Remember there wasn’t a river on the starting side of the mountain, and there is one on the other side of the mountain...   because if there was...  why would my herd be crossing that mountain anyways?

The herd needs to transform into another frequency , into another color , on this other side of the mountain.

While going up the mountain the herd was guided by the sheep ,frequency  and color of hope but on the other side of the mountain this herd needs to be guided by the sheep of patience and determination. Because if the herd would allow the sheep of hope to crazily use that energy and enthusiasm that pushes the remaining sheep across the peak to also run down the mountainside towards the river it would stumble , fall , loose control and potentially kill the entire herd out of enthusiasm because they create an avalanche of loose rocks.

The herd needs a certain emotion to go into “Flux”...  another to reach “phase” again as soon as possible and yet another one to still be able to reach it’s end goal...   that much needed drink of water.

And this whole process is an enormous explosion of color and emotion that makes me feel enormously fulfilled and happy....

That explosion of color is why I climbed the mountain in the first place.

The potential of the river (even while it was a necessity) was just a means to an end.  The goal was the explosion of color at the peak , and in it is an incredible danger because this state of flux needs to be as short as possible or it will destroy the herd.

Learning to stabilize a state of flux and succeeding at that is the greatest and single most purposeful joy I have ever found and I chase it diligently.

The bigger the mountain , the larger the explosion of color and the shorter the state of flux the better I feel.

Yet again ready for an even bigger mountain.

And that is the answer to the question I can now ask.

1.      So how come I used to feel pain when arriving, and how come I feel joy now? 

2.      How come I felt failure before where I now feel wonder?

The “wonder” is the view of the next mountain, and the anticipation of an even brighter and bigger (and hopefully shorter) state of flux.

The “Joy” is the welcome drink of water at the river, which was just a means to an end...  because “wonder” is the Why.

And all this was very simply put in a few words by one of my predecessors.

“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature's most beautiful gift.”

― Albert Einstein

But you first have to start wondering...  to find the wonder... which makes you wonder.

And that is my why.

Which then leads you to the question that has the answer to it..   “Why not? “
