Anatomy of a Flame

Have you ever just... watched a flame? Connected with it in presence? Become it and realize it is you?

It is so remarkable!!! The wax is a hydrocarbon -- a chain of carbon atoms with hydrogen branching off each side:

Illustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry - Hydrocarbon

(Wax is MUCH longer than this -- between 20 and 50 carbon atoms in parrafin or soy waxes)

So what happens?

The carbon and hydrogen mix are torn apart by an input of heat (which is why you need heat to start a fire) and then they combine with the oxygen (O2) in the air to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

The wax is literally becoming carbon dioxide and water


Fire.... makes water

The flame is the process of this happening. It is over 1,000 degrees!!!! Use a metal spoon to discover its features:



You are loved

The Secret Of Existence #1 - We are all One (Part 2 - The Wave Function)

Zen-inward on this video for a while. Let it become you, you become it.  {{ What does it show you? }} And how does it connect to this? All things pop into and out of existence, and return to the source "ocean" This is the "Law of Impermanence" as well as the nature of the "Quantum Foam" Just look at what protons and neutrons are. Bubbling balls of quarks, anti-quarks and gluons in such remarkable madness there is no way of knowing where any of the quarks are or what they are doing in any given moment. Yet... when looked at from afar, we know their energy and therefore their mass .   (Please visit and support Matt Strassler -- he is amazing!) Energy is constant, but the precise form it takes changes more times than we can count in any given moment. Such it is with spirit energy as well Putting experience of consciousness into physical form sometimes reduces its five dimensional nature (see future video on this profound insight) into only a 2D or at best...
