I had a bit of an epiphany today, and thought I would share. But first, a little background…. Background Nearly 10 years ago I was at a crossroad. At that time I had some very tough decisions to make and……

This is a truely excellent post. I think this analogy really helps with visualizing the goal setting process. I’ve linked to your article in my latest blog post where I discuss different models for viewing goals, progress, and change. Your article really helped me get a different perspective. Thanks!

This reminded me of Ch. 100 (last one) in the tome “Projectiology” by the physician Waldo Vieira. He used harmonics as a model to tentatively frame “psychical” manifestations of consciousness (or multidimensional as he coined them).

I think you would enjoy that.

On that regard, the Laplace or Fourier transform (and its inverse) is interesting to me. It allows us to represent waveforms in either the spacetime domain or the frequency-energy domain (the components of the signal in terms of frequencies). It’s fascinating.

There are negative frequencies that engineers ignore but that could have meaning. They remind me of the ideas of parallel universes. In Projectiology, they remind me of out-of-body experiences where people feel they can see this dimension but cannot be – usually – seen by us.

I often use the term frequencies or degrees of “density” of energy to try to describe how different dimensions of being can co-exist in the same space.

It is also interesting that the shorter the frequency spread the longer it is in time and vice-versa. At the extreme, a single note (1 frequency) is like an infinite sine wave. But a snippet of a sine wave would have infinite frequency components (althougth in practice you can chop off the higher harmonics as they are very small in magnitude).

When you do differential equations in frequency domain you can do it as algebra and then switch it back to time domain.

The ICRL has some interesting acoustics studies too (at ancient sites):
