505.30 Waves

505.301 When we drop a stone into water, we see a wave emanate outwardly in a plane. We agree that it is not water but that we are seeing a wave in pure principle. It is not simultaneous: therefore to conceptualize we are using our memory and afterimage. We can never have static waves; they have nothing to do with statics. We see a wave operative in time and in pure principle. If we initiate wave-propagating energy action at one point, a complete omnidirectional wave develops.

505.31 When a stone is dropped into a tank of water, the stone does not penetrate the water molecules. The molecules are jostled; they “accommodate” the stone and in the process jostle their neighboring molecules, which, in turn, jostle their own outwardly surrounding water molecule neighbors. Thus waves of relayed jostling are propagated. Each relayed wave, although a composite of locally forwarded actions, provides a synergetic continuity scenario of those actions. The consequence is a pattern of events that has an integrity of its own, independent of the local displacement accommodations (which are innocent with respect to the overall synergetic pattern).

505.32 The same stone dropped successively in pools of water, milk, or gasoline will generate the same wave patterns. Yet the waves are essences neither of milk nor of water nor of gasoline. The waves are distinct and measurable pattern integrities in their own right, visibly growing and traveling outwardly as each locally involved molecule of the liquids develops a narrow vertical ellipse circuitry returning to where it started, unless a powerful wind operating parallel to and above the liquid blows the top molecules free as bubbles to tumble down the wave side like water on a hillside.

505.33 Individuals regenerate their own sound and air displacement waves and ripples in the physical environment just as stones create waves and ripples in the different liquids into which they are thrown. They also propagate metaphysical wave patterns that develop local pattern displacements in the human affairs cosmos. They also propagate both conscious and unconscious electromagnetic waves. The wave is as abstract as the concept of an angle. Waves are weightless patterns.

505.34 The room we sit in is permeated by thousands of weightless waves, each of unique character. You can tune in hundreds of wide-frequency-range radios within your room, and each can bring in a different program from a different part of the world because the individual, weightless waves flow through trees and house walls. That extraordinary world of weightless, invisible waves is governed by mathematical laws, not by the opinions of men. The magnificent orderliness of that ever individually and uniquely patterning weightless wave Universe is not of man’s contriving. The infinite variety of evolutionary complexities, inherent to the orderliness of complementary principles operative in Universe, is of unending synergetic uniqueness.
