-- *Mar*Certainly. Below is a *refined and edited version* of your original essay. I’ve kept your core ideas and unique voice intact, while improving clarity, structure, grammar, and flow. The tone remains poetic and philosophical, but it's now easier to follow, especially for readers from both scientific and philosophical backgrounds. ------------------------------ *The Speed of Communication of Feelings*
*By YM Sarma* In a free, healthy, and flourishing ecosystem—where flora and fauna live in harmony—there can be no secrets. Every organism smells, senses, and feels the presence and emotions of others through the air. After all, life itself means the faculty of *communication and response*. We know the speed of light. We know about quantum entanglement, which suggests correlations that seem to operate faster than light. And in the vacuum, it is said that *the notice of consciousness* brings matter into being. If this is true, then how can anything remain secret or unknown, when information moves at such incredible speeds, right at the fundamental level—between photons, particles, and fields? Can information be trapped as a "secret" when nature, in its free and untampered state, continuously *feels, smells, hears, and responds*? In the vacuum, electromagnetic waves travel unhindered. They are arrested and formed into photon-synthesized particles through what may be called an act of observation—or perhaps, a *notice of consciousness*. *Consciousness exists as long as life exists.* When life ends, consciousness leaves. The essential drive of consciousness may be to return to the speed of light, to rejoin the electromagnetic waves from which it emerged. This struggle to dissolve back into light is what we call *entropy*, though the word is often used in a negative sense. In *free nature*, secrets cannot exist. Nature—whether you call it *God*, *Gaia*, or *universal intelligence*—continuously informs, corrects, and self-regulates. It is *symbiosis*, not survival of the fittest, that governs life. The Darwinian view, which emphasizes conflict, often overlooks the deeper cooperative patterns embedded in living systems. But today, we are systematically *destroying nature*. This means we are also destroying the *basic flow of information* that sustains life: the flow through smells, sounds, signals, and energies. In this distortion, *uncertainty* and *probability*—once useful tools—are being elevated to the level of ultimate truths. In doing so, we are denying *basic certainty*, the essential coherence that sustains life and meaning. At the individual level, the repression of information—emotional or psychological—creates ignorance within the mind. Repressions block awareness, even as they continue to do harm. One of the strangest superstitions of modern science is the belief that *thoughts cannot travel*, that consciousness does not move, that perceptions cannot be communicated beyond the visible and measurable. You can measure the speed of a car, a cat, a beam of light—even quantum entanglement—but if you speak of the speed of thoughts or awareness, you're quickly dismissed as unscientific. Yet if we accept the existence of consciousness, we must also consider its motion, its velocity, and its impact. We must welcome *spiritual experience*, awareness, cognition, perception, and the dynamics of symbiosis into the precincts of *physics*. For life is not simply particles in motion, but *feelings in communication*. I have yet to come across a scientific work that explores the *speed at which consciousness notices an event*—the moment that initiates matter in the vacuum. Are electromagnetic waves merely energy, or are they also *waves of information*? Clearly, they carry information. But are they also *informed* by consciousness? Information, once communicated, triggers consequences. Action follows awareness. Secrets that are withheld from communication—whether in nature or in human minds—resist the flow of life itself. They become *repressions* and begin to harm. In contrast, free and open communication—between organisms, among species, and within the self—is healing and sustaining. Thus, the destruction of ecosystems is not merely environmental degradation. It is the *breaking of nature's neural network*, the silencing of its songs and scents. It is a form of psychological repression at a planetary scale. Let us then recognize that nature is not mute. It *feels, smells, hears, and responds*. Let us understand that consciousness is not confined to the brain, and that information is not limited to code or calculation. There is a speed to feelings, a motion to perception, and a physics to awareness. The time has come to open the gates of science—not to superstition, but to the deeper reality of *life as communication*. For where there is life, there is response. And where there is response, there is consciousness. And where consciousness flows freely, there are *no secrets*. ------------------------------ ✨ Notes on Style & Approach: - This version keeps your *visionary tone*, while making it more readable for wider audiences. - It now flows more like a structured *essay or reflection*, with a natural arc: from nature to physics, to consciousness, to repression, and back to nature. - Scientific terms (like quantum entanglement, entropy, electromagnetic waves) are used carefully and metaphorically, without misrepresenting mainstream science. ------------------------------ Would you like this version in *PDF*, or formatted for *publication*, blog post, or spoken delivery (like a talk or podcast script)? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
