EPISODE 279; CONCORDIA TUTORS AERA'S ARCHERS PART XXVIII: LEVEL ONE: AURA OF WATER PART ONE: RIPPLES; FIELDS AND THEIR ABILITY TO DETERMINE THE PHYSICAL AND ELEMENTAL TRAITS OF LIVING BEINGS; THE ECHOES CAUSED BY THE IDENTITIES OF DIVINE BEINGS
Concordia's Archers had finally mastered Earth. They were out in the Desert training as usual when Concordia approached them.
"Congratulations, you have finally mastered Earth. You are finally left with mastering the final element, then our Migration can commence. That element is the Element of Water and like the aforementioned Elements, you must master its Three Levels namely the Aura, Fields and Senses Of Water" Concordia explained.
The Archers listened closely.
"Let's dive right into your first lecture then. This first lecture is about the concept of Ripples. First let me explain what a 'Ripple' is. A 'Ripple' in the simplest sense can be defined as 'a pulse of energy that emanates when something in a Restful State generates a Force when 'disturbed' that flows from the Body that generated this Force into a Field that surrounds this Force and then keeps echoing throughout the Field for an interminable amount of Time'. It's similar to what happens when the calm surface of Water is broken by a touch or by anybody that makes contact with this calm surface of Water. You can consider each ring that extends from the point of 'contact' or 'disturbance' outwards as an 'Echo'. The peculiar trait of a Ripple is that even though it may appear as though each subsequent echo results in the diminishing of the Force exerted by each Outer Ring in the Ripple as the Ripple extends outwards, the Range of the Ripple actually extends in response to the diminishing of the Force of the Ripple" Concordia said.
The Archers were amazed at what Concordia was trying to tell them.
"A 'Ripple' can basically be considered as the 'prerequisite' of a 'Wave'. In other words, all 'Waves' originate from 'Ripples'. In my Homeworld for instance, it is a common belief that the entire Universe originated from a particle much smaller than a 'Seed'. It's similar in nature to a Plant or Tree sprouting from a Seed or a Bird, Amphibian or Reptile being hatched from an Egg, a Caterpillar transforming into a Butterfly after emerging from a Cocoon. It's also what governs the concept of how ideas can be transformed into Physical Tools and the ability to generate Mass solely via the application of Energy, a concept many Ancient Religions referred to as 'Faith', the ability to manifest the Spiritual Energies existing in Spiritual Planes within the Material World. To an extent this is quite similar in Nature to the conversion of Scientific Principles into the Development Of Technological Tools. The One Predominant Trait that all of the aforementioned have in common is that the aforementioned Beings or objects all originate from a kind of 'Source Code'. For Living Beings, this Source Code is DNA, for Ancient Religions, the Code lies within their 'Holy Texts' which some refer to as 'The Word Of God'. Some Religions actually believe that the Entire Universe, both Material and Spiritual were created out of a 'Word' uttered by God. For Science, the 'Source Code' lies in tested and proven 'Scientific Theorems', for things related to the 'Virtual World', a concept that may currently be beyond your ability to fathom, the 'Source Code' is generated via a 'Programming Language', for the Material Cosmos, one could say the 'Source Code' can be derived from the knowledge of the Elemental Balance, the Laws Of Physics which describe the Physical Laws that operate in the Material Cosmos. Basically, the aforementioned revolve around the Conversion Of Energy into Mass. The reverse also exists where Mass can be converted to Energy but let's save that for another time. If you find this concept hard to grasp just know that entire civilizations are built and maintained via the ideas of their inhabitants. Every House constructed is born out of the design of an Architect, every vehicle and Technological Tool out of the designs of an engineer, Works Of Art by Artists, Music by Musicians and even Living Beings are born out of the Bond shared by their Parents so in a Sense the Physical World Humanity Lives in is a World shaped in the literal sense by the thoughts of Humans themselves. You could say the Physical World Mankind lives in is in a Sense a Mirror projecting the thoughts, beliefs, emotions and ideas that exist within the Hearts of Humans themselves. The Physical World in a 'sense' mirrors the occurrences that occur within the Hearts Of Humanity and all Living Beings that inhabit it" Concordia said.
The Archers paid rapt attention.
"The second thing you should know as I pointed out in your earlier lectures is that every Living Being that occupies a Specific Terrain is subject to certain Elemental Forces inhabiting that Terrain. These Elemental Forces vary from Terrain to Terrain. For instance, the Force Of Gravity acting on bodies on land is not the same as that which act on bodies underwater and is not necessarily the same as that which acts on beings that have mastered Flight. These Elemental Forces to a large degree determine a lot about the Living Creatures inhabiting the Terrain within which their Force is being exerted. They determine things such as the Living Beings' Physical Traits, Mobility, the Adaptations and Strategies utilized by the Living Being to navigate the Terrain and to procure its sustenance which is basically either Nutrition or Energy within the Terrain, the Sensitivity of the Living Being to the Terrain and the Forces exerted on the Living Being by the Terrain, changes triggered by the activities of these Forces within the Terrain and can even determine the average Lifespan of the Living Beings within the Terrain" Concordia explained.
The Archers were immediately awestruck.
"An instance of the effects a particular Terrain can have over the Living Beings within it is the Streamlined Nature Of The Body Of A Fish and the purpose behind this Streamlined Body. This Streamlined Nature Of A Fish's Body and the Bodies Of many Marine Creatures exists for the sole purpose of Reducing the Forces and Pressure exerted on the body of Marine Creatures by reducing the Water Resistance acting on these Marine Creatures' Bodies. Without this Streamlined Body Ocean Life possess, the Forces exerted upon them by the Ocean would be significantly greater and might eventually kill them. A second advantage of this Streamlined Body is that it amplifies the ability of Ocean Life to Navigate the Oceans. The Fins Of Fishes also amplify their Power Of Navigation by not only amplifying their Mobility in the Ocean but also their Sensitivity to the Movement Of Ocean Currents thus allowing the Fish to minimize Energy use by always moving with the Ocean Currents instead of against them. The Gills of Fish allow them to extract the Oxygen present in the Ocean. Different Species Of Fish come with their own Unique Quirks and Body Adaptations. You are beginning to get the picture" Concordia said.
The Archers nodded.
"If you thought that was interesting, here comes the really profound aspect of this knowledge. Regardless of the Individual Unique Species Of Ocean Life and all Life in general, whenever a Living Being thinks, acts or exerts a Force of any kind, they generate a 'Ripple'. It may be a minuscule Force but it is a Force nonetheless. You may or may not believe me from this point onward but this generated Force is Eternal and never disappears. This Force is called the 'Ripple'. This Force flows through the Field within the Living Being's Terrain interacting with other Forces within the Terrain. Through 'Interactions' and 'Repeated Echoes', this Force may Fuse with Forces generated by other Living Beings and grow thus transforming into a 'Wave'. Living Beings that are Sensitive to these 'Waves' can utilize them for 'Navigation'. To an extent, this is the very reason that Ancient Cultures were very hesitant about calling their 'Deities' by their 'True Names' but instead resorted to 'Appellations'. It is not solely to avoid blaspheming the 'Name Of Their Deity' but also because the mere mention or invocation of the Name Of A Deity or Divine Being possesses the ability to manifest massive or drastic changes to both the Material Cosmos and Spiritual Dimensions. These changes may either be helpful or harmful to the being that invoked the Name Of The Deity depending on the Manner Of Invocation or Attitude exhibited by the one performing the 'Invocation'. This is precisely why most Religious Ceremonies are solemn occasions and treated with Reverence. This was to minimize the danger associated with the improper invocation of the Name Of A Deity. It is also the reason most Ancient Deities were in turn very hesitant about revealing their 'True Names' to 'Mortals' but rather utilized 'Titles'. Some Cultures even took this interpretation a step further by coming to the conclusion that the 'Art Of Magic' was nothing more than the ability to know the 'Name Of A Deity' and the 'Specific Times' it was appropriate to 'invoke' the 'Name Of A Particular Deity'. This is the Fusion Of The 'Concept Of Identities' with the 'Concept Of Time' and governs many aspects of the Material Cosmos such as the Movement Of The Luminaries and in the Spiritual Plane, the interactions amongst the Divine Beings at Specific Times in the History Of The Material World" Concordia explained.
The Archers were amazed and pondered everything Concordia has said.
"To avoid overwhelming you, let's call it a day. We will continue this lecture at a later date" Concordia said.
