Synchronicity and Natural Order

I was watching a beautiful snowfall many years ago at night. There was not one whisper of wind. The snow was falling straight down out of the sky. The flakes were all sizes, from fractions of an inch to a couple of inches. As you know, theoretically, no two snowflakes are alike. The flakes were falling on top of each other in a very interesting pattern where the arms of the flakes were aligning with the arms of other flakes. Kind of like a daisy chain of paper dolls that kindergartners cut up. Except that the line through the flakes followed the winding paths made up by larger and smaller flakes. Many paths would emanate from a large flake’s center outward in 6 directions, with each subsequent flake branching out into 5 subsequently different directions. (The inbound leg was the 6th leg of the flake) If you adjusted your focus to see the big picture, there were several patterns that looked like the metaphase of a physical cell splitting. In other words, the three legs on one side of the large flakes could spawn several different sized daisy chains (paths) but they tended to form back up into centers of other large flakes, or smaller flakes that converged back to a subsequent center. Between two epicenters, there were an infinite number of ways to get from one epicenter to another, depending on how deep into the “fractal” you wanted to trace. But at the highest level, there were fewer and fewer trending paths to get from one epicenter to another. Think of the metaphase of cells splitting, either daisy chained subsequently or embedded within a metaphase to form a microcosm inside the larger metaphase.

Much of the universe is made up of hydrogen, which is what young stars are made of. As they burn, they form heavier elements, generally one step at a time through the periodic chart. Oxygen and hydrogen combine to make water, which is what makes our planet special, along with the other factors (heat, etc.) Two hydrogen atoms and one bigger oxygen atom. This is the essential molecule that makes up a snowflake, which is the frozen form of water. When water freezes, it forms an ice crystal, which at the right temperature forms an ice lattice called a snowflake. No two are alike, but they all have six sides formed by six spokes that emanate from the center, which at its core is H-H-O-O-H-H, or two water molecules bonded together. An electrical bond?

We’ve established positive and negative as the direction of energy. It spins or flows in one direction or the other. In and of itself, it’s not good and evil, though some people like to refer to positive energy/emotions and negative energy/emotions.

We’ve got a three-dimensional physical universe that we live in at the static level defined by three intersecting planes. We can define our travel through this physical space at a static reference point using X,Y,Z coordinates.

The snow lattice that I referred to earlier is in three dimensions once it’s fallen together into a static field and any given point can be defined as an X,Y,Z coordinate. It’s a lattice, so it forms a static structure. All types of materials can form a crystalline structure, and some metals can conduct living electricity through them. The crystalline structure provides a static path for the energy to flow.

Let me add that the 6-sided snowflake daisy-chain lattice in three dimensions could be shorthanded as 666. From the center of every flake, there are 5 new directions to take in 3 dimensions and a 6th direction if you count moving backward from where you came.

The snow fell through a still atmosphere this particular night. Is the reason for each snowflake’s uniqueness a reflection of where in the atmosphere it formed and fell?

Is the physical world a lattice that contains and directs our energy?

We are made up of mostly water, which is the scientific basis for finding life in the Universe.

Is the history of the world written in the wind? (Memory in a computer is just an electromagnetic spin that represents a piece of information that when combined with other em spins reconstructs a (first) static memory, then (subsequently) moving memories. Why not the wind? Or the water? Or the land?)

What if our individual central being; our self; can be hypothetically pinpointed at any given center intersection of the snowflake pattern.

Could free-will be limited to 6 choices (paths) at any given point of time along 3 dimensions. Do a collection of those micro-choices define the general momentum of our lives (hence we can “move” our lives forward, backward, or slightly forward sideways, or slightly backward sideways. Or down, or up.) That would support the theory of predestination as well as free will.

But the lattice is just a book of physical, static rules. Without energy flowing through it, it’s nothing.

Lattice without energy is “dead?” Why do some religions assign the Devil the number 666? (And religion is just humanity’s attempt to put structure around the things they have no master understanding of. Not to say that some religious rules are not valid, many are wise words to live by no matter which faith or non-faith you follow.)

Unbounded and unstructured energy is considered chaos and cancerous. It needs structure to be useful.

So, we need two concepts. Religion is just something that someone thought deeply about at some point to help people live better together and be productive. Subsequent interpretations by those who get it, but can’t repeat it very well, coupled with people who don’t get it and repeat it verbatim without understanding, to people who just take it literally at face value and completely miss the point.

The good news is, there is always a balance of positive energy to negative energy. Some will label the same energy as good as someone else will label as bad. But it’s just the directional flow of energy and the magnetization of such energy (memory?) Equal and opposite energies and understandings. And if we didn’t have equal and opposite energies, the Universe as we know it would go black and still.

Edit 10-23-24: I just discovered Srinivasa Ramanujan and the Rogers-Ramanujan Identities! I think what I saw is related to what Srinivasa saw. Certainly many singularities connected by golden ratio paths. God bless him for being able to describe it with mathematics. https://www.quantamagazine.org/srinivasa-ramanujan-was-a-genius-math-is-still-catching-up-20241021

I’m going to have to write more on this topic to describe other things I’ve noticed. Like when I used to go running, and I’d run 4 miles on the back-roads near a river in an outlying suburb of Atlanta. I wouldn’t encounter a car coming in either direction, then all of the sudden there would be a car coming from both directions and all three of us would be on the exact same perpendicular line on the road. I mean, why wouldn’t one car come, then the next one, which would have allowed them to give me some room on the narrow two-lane. That happened more often than not in my life. Maybe not so weird after all.
