In the vast journey of personal and cosmic discovery, there are moments when the mind grasps something so fundamental, yet so elusive, that it reshapes everything. This is one of those moments, born out of a deep conversation about the nature of life, the universe, and the flicker that underpins all existence. Together with Frank-Thomas, we dove into the core question of whether perfection is ever truly attainable—or even desirable. What we found was not the stillness of perfection, but the vital pulse of transformation.
This exploration ties back to an idea shared by Nassim Haramein, where recent studies on galaxy structures suggest that variation, rather than symmetry, might be the universe’s natural state. This insight opens the door to understanding life, not as a static, perfect design, but as something far more dynamic and, in its essence, imperfect. This imperfection is not a flaw—it is the heartbeat of existence.
Perfection in the Singular, Variation in the Collective
At the smallest scale—the Planck dimension and beyond—there exists what we might call the singular speck, the smallest known particle, an electromagnetic charge that flickers between light and dark, on and off. This flickering is more than just a switch; it represents the very pulse of life. The flicker is the motion, the uncertainty, and the possibility that allows everything to exist. Without it, we would have only stillness—only death.
In this, we find a profound truth: perfection cannot exist in motion. If something were only on, or only off, it would be static, unchanging. But the flicker, the movement between these two states, introduces a third element: the space between on and off, where possibility, transformation, and life emerge. This is where variation is born—not as an error, but as the essential ingredient that keeps life in motion.
As we scale up from the singular speck to the vast structures of galaxies, we see the same principle at work. The more these singular specks group together, the more variation arises. Imperfection becomes the norm not because of any mistake, but because life requires variation. In this way, transformation is not about reaching perfection, but about living within the flicker—the space where movement, change, and growth are possible.
The Space Between the Boxes: Fundamental vs. Universal Life Force
This flicker between on and off, between light and dark, is echoed in the difference between what we might call universal life force and fundamental life force. The universal life force can be found within a box—a structure, a system like Reiki, that operates within defined boundaries. This life force is powerful, but it is contained, perfect in its own way. Yet, it remains a perfected form, something boxed and structured.
On the other hand, the fundamental life force is what exists between the boxes. It is the energy that flows in the undefinable space, the flicker itself. It is the purest form of existence, and it cannot be confined by structures or definitions. This is the variation that keeps everything alive—it’s the imperfection that drives evolution and transformation. It’s the difference between living within a system and living in the flow.
To embrace the fundamental life force is to recognize that true life—true healing, true transformation—happens in the undefinable space, in the flicker between states. This is where we experience the defragmentation of the mind, where old patterns break down and new possibilities emerge.
Defragmentation: The Process of Transformation
The journey of personal transformation can often feel like a process of defragmentation—breaking apart old ways of thinking, feeling, and being, so that something new can emerge. But this process is messy, full of uncertainty and contradiction. It’s a constant flicker between states: good and bad, doable and not doable, forward and backward. It is not a smooth path, and it is not about becoming perfect. In fact, the idea of perfection is the very thing that limits us. To transform is to engage in the flicker, to move through states of imperfection, to allow the old to break apart so that the new can be born.
Transformation is the act of embracing imperfection—the willingness to flicker between the known and the unknown, between the broken and the whole. It is the flicker itself that allows for healing, for growth, for life.
The Imperfection of Living
Living, truly living, is not about being alive in some static, perfect sense. It is about the act of living—of being in motion, of not knowing what comes next, of embracing the uncertainty. The imperfection of living is what gives it its power. When we try to live according to a predefined model or a set of rules, we might achieve a form of stability, but it is a stability that is stale. It lacks the flicker, the movement, the possibility that makes life vibrant.
To live fully is to embrace the flicker—to be in motion, in uncertainty, in transformation. It’s about recognizing that imperfection is not something to be avoided, but something to be welcomed. It’s the source of all creativity, all growth, and all transformation.
Living in the Flicker: The Conclusion
Ultimately, what we’ve uncovered in this exploration is that the flicker—the movement between states, between on and off, between light and dark—is the very essence of life itself. It is not about reaching a state of perfection, but about embracing the imperfection that comes with being alive. It’s about living in the space between, in the undefinable place where transformation happens.
To live in the flicker is to embrace uncertainty, to allow for variation, and to understand that it is imperfection that gives life its depth and meaning. It’s in the willingness to flicker, to be in motion, that we find the true power of transformation. Life is not static, and neither are we. The flicker is the life. The flicker is the transformation.
In this realization, we come to understand that living in the flicker—being willing to transform, to embrace imperfection, to exist between the boxes—is the ultimate key to everything. It is the path to true healing, growth, and awakening. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being alive in the flicker.
