Do Not Measure the River Too Much

A journal note on wave-particle duality, surrender and learning to flow.

I forgot a rule from physics: wave-particle duality, the double-slit experiment and the observer effect.

Measuring or interacting with a quantum system forces it to transition from a probabilistic wave state into a definite particle-like state. The measurement changes its behaviour.

Wave / possibilityUnobserved: wave and possibility.

So, do not measure too much.

My dumb ape, humble mind hypothesis says that if I am made of particles, I can be a wave. I am a wave. I am energy, and energy flows.

I should surrender to it with my right gut and intuition.

Ask. Believe. Trust. Let go. Receive.

Aligning your life is a never-ending process. It is a day-by-day, moment-by-moment practice.

Just like I used to say, life is a process of learning and unlearning.

Just flow

Flow like energy. Flow like electricity. Flow like water.
