SCIENTIFIC & PHILOSOPHICAL ESSAYS

Cypsela hopes to spread new ideas of science and philosophy, which can lead to a deeper understanding of all life, than that which is current accepted by the community codes of 'way of life' now dominant in this world. Cypsela intends to plant the seeds of a very different paradigm of human life in the minds of the general public throughout the world. Its ideas may overcome the way society is subtly commanded by unverified notions, established long ago by our very old ancestors when they began to lose their fondness for each other. General publics are now widely misled and misinformed about the truth of science and human separateness as I will show.

Cypselas are the fruits of Dandelions and similar plants, each with a tiny seed and a tuft of silky hairs radiating from the top of a stalk which gives them parachute like facilities to lift them into the air to disseminate their species wherever the wind blows, which is applicable to the intent of this wiki. These aerial borne fruits have the largest spatial spread of any type of fruit on Earth. It is our intention to draw people together from all over the world and show how everything is connected to everything else by the spirit (now called energy) that manifested the universe as one single thing in the beginning of everything. While we humans look different from each other in material form, and we like to believe our separateness; our minds cloak the perception of our being inherently involved in the never ceasing invisible energy interactions in the commune of all living things which began to emerge when the first life began. Albert Einstein said:

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest...a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

It is a fact that the complex development of an idea over time throws greater light on that idea, without which, its correlations and implications with other ideas would not be possible. In trying to provide the 'development of ideas' in my essays, I have often used circuitous and repetitious ways to show how I grew to understand or think things. In advance I apologize for reiteration. At university, many of my students told me 'saying it twice in different contexts tells so much more'.
