Chapter 9: The Atoms of the Body

Einstein’s Dream The Engineering of Conscious Experience Chapter Nine The Atoms of the Body "The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible. The fact that it is comprehensible is a miracle."   - Albert Einstein I walked in to Einstein's office and he peered at me. I announced, “ Democritus! ” “ Democritus? ” “ Yes, the 3rd century BC philosopher who said the universe was made of atoms. ” “ Hhhhmmm . . . ” Einstein puzzled for a moment rubbing his chin. “ Ah yes, let me see here. ” He flipped open a book of theories and read, “ The theory of Democritus and Leucippus held that everything is composed of "atoms", which are physically, but not geometrically, indivisible; that between atoms lies empty space; that atoms are indestructible; have always been, and always will be, in motion; that there are an infinite number of atoms, and kinds of atoms, which differ in shape, and size. Of th...

Chapter 9: SuzieQ {snippet preview}

I recapped all weekend in my closet my past sexual experiences and intended to respect my death and also realize that I was being who was going to die. Monday morning I awoke on the wrong side of the bed and went to see Einstein all grumpy and disallusioned with my path for learning lucid dreaming. “So hows’ intending the awareness of the atoms of your body going?” “Oh, its going good I guess. I can’t focus. I can’t seem to hold an intention any longer. what like no I feel like I’m too involved in daily affairs. The daily world consumes so much of my attention that I have nothing left for intending an awareness of the atoms of my being.” “Ah,” Einstein said leaning back in his chair, “don’t worry about it.

We worry ourseves to death over our appearence, Perhaps you’re looking over all the variables of impossibility, the ones tha...

I was furious. My physics professor had just given a talk on atoms and went on about how atoms constitute the very basis of everything around us. I quickly made my way across campus heading to Einstein's office. Upon arrival I found his door unusually locked. Immediately I began frantically knocking. He came and unlocked it. I burst into the room and spewed forth a tirade.“Why can’t we be aware of the atoms in our bodies? Four hundred years of white philosophers who are too stupid to suggest the question! Oh my God! There is a huge piece of the puzzle is missing” “Oh, now you’re going to blame ‘white’ philosophers?” “You’re damn right! Their negligence is a crime against the human race! Why didn’t they ever think or posit that we human beings could be aware of the atoms in our bodies? Atoms are everywhere!" I looked at Einstein demanding an answer. "Why aren’t I aware of the atoms in my own body?" “Where?” Einstien said turning, his hands offering a perus...
