The IMPACTS Blog

Usually when people ask me what I do or why I write, I tell them that I try to figure out the mysteries of the universe. Invariably, almost everyone laughs or the comment evokes a wry smile. Why would you laugh at someone’s attempt to figure out eternal questions?

The answer is that we have “agreed” to settle for so much less than we are capable–we have severely limited our potential by accepting the possibility of only incremental change. The SN has done a fabulous job of  “eliminating potential” which is another term for breaking up concentrated energy. Now you know why SNs over the ages have frequently limited educational opportunities–an SN has to be in control of concentrated energy. Out-of-control learning can be dangerously concentrated–and therefore a threat.

In quantum physics, the movement of one electron from one energy level to a higher energy level is called a quantum jump or leap. That is where the term “quantum leap” comes from in our everyday vernacular. In the real people world, the same sometimes occurs through the actions of the IMPACTS–human thinking and civilization can take a quantum leap from one level to a higher level.

It can happen. If anything, the attempts should be accompanied by joyous laughter–a celebration of the effort–not by flippant condescension. Let’s all start looking outside the boundaries–that’s where the answers are. Let’s celebrate and encourage inquiry. The status quo is not the answer.

I read this recently about a group called Ted. You can find it at ted.com.

“Today, TED is therefore best thought of as a global community. It’s a community welcoming people from every discipline and culture who have just two things in common: they seek a deeper understanding of the world, and they hope to turn that understanding into a better future for us all.”

That is a goal we all share. The problem is that once you understand how the world works, then what do you do? I think I have discovered some very important principles about the functioning of the world. But these discoveries cry out for action–and action against people and countries with power. Are people going to seriously consider such action or are they going to continue to live as ants do? Ants perform their role and that is it. They don’t look for trouble inside their own ant hill.

If we are going to change the world, we will have to take action–in my opinion. I don’t think we can meditate ourselves to peace. There are some forces that are not moved by “peaceful” means.

What is the action that is needed? It is time to begin the discussion.

Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.”

Seneca
Roman Philosopher, Statesman

In watching a basketball game or even the news, do you feel that most everything is hyped–that you are hearing a “version” of what is happening rather than the “real thing”? The same is happening throughout society and around the world–we are hearing a version of what is happening, a version that bears a resemblance to reality but only a resemblance.

When you look at a new car, do you think much about the fuel that goes into the car? Probably not though without fuel the car is going nowhere. It is the same with the world–we do not see the fuel–we take it for granted. Actually few of us even know what it is. I’ll tell you–it is the group I call the IMPACTS. They are the fuel for society–without them, nothing happens–yet they are not currently part of the story at all.

The picture of reality that we have in our heads is a screenplay. It is loosely based on the reality underneath. We are actors living out the play because we do not understand the dynamics at work. If you understand the dynamics, you can write your own play–one based on reality instead of one based on the reality of someone else.

T.S. Eliot also said–”Do I dare disturb the universe?”

It is up to each of us–do we blindly follow along or do we dare disturb our own universe?

If you want to see how the world really works, it is all there in the IMPACTS concept. But even if your interests are more local, so to speak, the IMPACTS concept is just as valuable.  The model is the same no matter what you are looking at–economics, science, politics, small business, large business, non-profits–or the atom!

The IMPACTS concept is totally based on science. The evidence is overwhelming. It’s just a matter of whether people want to see it or not.  When they are ready, they will see it–and their world will change dramatically.  Suddenly, it will all make sense.

Plato thought there were 2 realities, the everyday world and the “ideal” world which existed in an unknown realm. I think there are 2 as well–the everyday world that we have come to know, and the world where the true dynamics are at work. They are of course the same worlds but most of us do not know that yet because most of us are in the dark about the dynamics. The IMPACTS concept starts the process of burning away the fog.

“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.”

“Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.”

Who spoke the previous quotes? Mark Twain. His statements still apply. Don’t ever assume you are actually getting the truth from any source. There are people who are mentally lazy who will try to convince you that they know what they are talking about, and.then there are those who will purposely and deliberately try to deceive you. You see them every day and governments around the world have a plethora of such people.

My suggestion? Take everything you hear from any government with a huge grain of salt. Governments are adept at orchestrating reality and getting you to buy into it. They are depending on you being mentally lazy. They can do this because they have set up the game to where you, the individual, have few options as far as contesting what they say. Try to see it for what it is–orchestration.

The world, just like the rest of the universe, appears to be in conflict between 2 major forces–dispersal versus dispersal-hindering. In human society, it is the SN or structural-nucleus (dispersal) versus the IMPACTS (dispersal-hindering).

The SN sets the rules and it sets the guidelines for success or failure. It is also a major contributing factor to how people feel about themselves and their lives–and their contributions to the world.

My advice? Do NOT let the SN determine how you feel about yourself and your place in this world–including the quality of your contributions.  Pay no attention to its rules and guidelines–make your own. Discover for yourself what life means and that includes human behavior on every level. Do not let the SN make up your mind for you on any topic.

Be a dispersal-hindering agent. Make up your own mind about everything. That hinders the constant striving of the SN to drive a wedge between people around the world. Don’t be a party to the anti-human tendencies of the SN.

What is the goal? To help people better manage their lives, experience more enjoyment, have less stress, and have a better grasp of the world around them through understanding of the IMPACTS concept. The IMPACTS concept is not something I made up—it is something I discovered. I just saw what was already there.

The reason is that we have a ceiling that prevents us from reaching our potential–as individuals and as a species. It is the way the universe is organized–IMPACTS energy becomes “snatched” or captured by a force that resides in the nucleus, wherever that nucleus happens to be. It can be the black hole of a galaxy, the nucleus of an atom, or the head of a company or a family.

And the bad thing is that we as IMPACTS have to defer somewhat to this energy, depending on where we are located in its domain. I am on the periphery so I defer very little. Those closer to the nucleus have to defer much more. That is just the nature of the interaction of the nucleus energy and the IMPACTS energy. The closer you are to the nucleus, the more you defer–whether you know it or not.

We can’t criticize this nucleus or SN (structural-nucleus)–not in a significant way–or else we lose our place. That’s why people on the periphery have no fear–they have no place. They can say what they want to say.

The SN is the ceiling that prevents learning. If you understand what is happening, you can start to change the game for yourself.

“What can I do to be of service to you?” That is an IMPACTS attitude. All “greatness” of any kind finds its beginnings in a nurturing circle. That is how life started and developed—that is how a “great” family starts and develops—that is how a great company starts and develops.

Always the same—cooperating and caring and sharing. That is the only way to “permanence” of any kind, including “success”.
