Life is movement!

 

All forms of life have a certain kind of motion within itself. The motion may be small, as in a cell, or considerably big as when the heart beats, and when we walk or run. The movement seems microscopic in the DNA molecule, enormous in a storm, and astronomical in our own galaxy’s movement through the Universe. Besides, movement or motion is always associated with more or less space to move  within.

Temperature

All movement also emit some  degrees of heat. The temperature in the void of the universe is almost inversely proportional to its size. Based on Kelvins temperature scale, which starts at absolute zero, (-459.6700ºF) this void is only approximately 3 degrees Kelvin, i.e. minus 270.15 degrees Celsius, and 454.2700º F. We humans are well above the ca. 310.15 degrees Kelvin, or 37 degrees Celsius, that is 98.60 degrees Fahrenheit

Emotions

The concepts of movement and temperature is colloquially transmitted to our emotional life. We are more or less moved by others, things we see, or cultural experiences, and in Latin, emotio just means movement. So when we say that he or she is cold, it originally means that they are moving very slowly emotionally, and that it feels somewhat cold for a bystander.

Being frigid on the other hand, means having minimal sexual appetite. That she is a warm human being, on the contrary, makes most of us believe that she is caring, empathic and loving. To be “hot” nowadays, means being exactly the opposite of frigid again. At least in English and Norwegian “hot” “heit”, means to be sexually attractive.

Small and big psychological and social movements.

When you overcome your inhibiting anxiety for something, or make your way through, and out of grief and depression, that’s a big and important individual step for you.

 

For bankers, or financial specialists or acrobats, a psychologically nervous market after a big upsurge, may cause a mass movement of selling bonds and shares, with a big drop, in market value as a result.

Because of a sudden political change in a country, a dangerous psychological fear of losing money, may eventually cause a domino movement of collapse both in the financial, political and social world. Today, the world market is shivering from the political mass movement that resulted in Brexit, Britain out of EU.

The need for speed everywhere, except on aging

Movement is usually linked to concepts like fast or slow, quick or sluggish. In the modern, post-modern and digital world speed is a keyword, and slavedriver. Everything should preferably go very fast, or faster than fastest,- apart from our own aging!

Into the tridimensional Space of Mind and Nature.

The content of the above paragraphs, is probably very well represented in your thinking already. That means you have a kind of spiritual or psychological space in your mind to arrange and transform concepts and thoughts.

The wonderful experience of walking in the woods or through an interesting landscape, and perceive and sense almost every part of it, bushes, creeks, trees, hills, animals and then again, experiencing the totality of the landscape. In the woods or in the mountains, however, you cannot rearrange the scenery, or remove hilltops without being arrested or sued for environmental crime.

But in your mind you can make whatever change you like of this scenery, and with your language even construct stories of action, phantasy, romance and horror within the same locations. And all this you can do with your own personal invented gallery of characters.

Yes, with your mind and psychological space active, you can even survive imprisonment for 27 years, without being ruined mentally, and be elected president after your release, as did Nelson Mandela. His psychological universe did not collapse into a black hole of bitterness and revenge! It transformed to a bright light emanating compassion, wisdom, political will, and vigor! Some would also say he never lost contact with his power of love.

My assumption is that love can expand the psychological space inside and around you, and make it possible for you to live in a troubled world, without being totally corrupted and brutalized.
