This blog will cover many disparate topics seemingly unconnected from each other. However, the through line connecting all is the wave.
|
||
|
||
Allow me to explain. We are for all intents literally just stardust bound together by energy. Similar to light which we also know is energy and particulate matter, we exist as matter that moves in wave like patterns.

Some of those concepts were explored in Star Wars Rogue One in the relationship between the protagonist and her father.
|
||
|
||
And this concept also takes strong inspiration from another sci-fi masterpiece: SquareSoft and Tetsuya Takahashi San's Xenogears. Meaningless spoiler alert: this comes from the ending of the game and its narrative. And bear with me as I attempt to distill this grand old space opera, its story of generations of people, alternative histories and futures, on a road to self discovery and actualization.
|
||
|
||
The story’s main protagonist Fei starts with a dark mysterious past and quickly encounters a war that turns his world upside down catalyzing a hidden shadow self that he’s afraid of. Being told fairly early in his quest that his destiny is to kill “god” and forced by consequences to join forces with others who are fundamentally opposed to him, he’s sent on a journey of discovery that culminates in meeting an entity called the wave existence.
|
||
|
||
Well that escalated quickly! I put “god” in quotes because in typical grandiose space opera fashion this refers to something that is more approximately an interplanetary autonomous system that functions at times more like a weapon with god-like power that can create biological and technological creatures to serve its planetary conquering and domination goals.
|
||
|
||
So continue bearing with me while I explain that the wave existence is more like what we typically refer to as God - a higher power especially of a spiritual nature. It is a being comprised of energy in the form of a wave and lacks a physical presence. It isn’t portrayed as strictly the Judeo-Christian God, but rather the same role as a transcendental entity that is a universal truth. Could you aptly describe it as love itself? Certainly. Could you call it the uniting resonant energy between all living beings? For sure.
|
||
|
||
I am learning to be more in the moment and not always diving into the deep end of a conversation. But that’s my default. So it makes sense we start from here.
|
||
|
||
Even still, all is the wave. When Fei makes contact with the wave existence we get this feeling as though he’s entered a sacred space where all people and all things converge.
|
||
|
||
So maybe it’s too over the top or too silly. But honestly I feel it - my heart beat is a rhythm, a wave. As is yours. Music is a series of waves. Have you noticed people mentioning “vibes” instead of thoughts and prayers? We won’t cover the whole discussion about that now, simply know that vibes are vibrations which are also waves.
|
||
|
||
Light is a wave. Another game series I enjoy, Final Fantasy, has recurring themes of orphans called to be warriors of light.
|
||
|
||
In the Bible the apostle John talks about being children of the light.
|
||
|
||
What other kinds of disparate topics can you look forward to reading about here:

||
|
||

- Psychology
|
||
- Spirituality
|
||
- Christian Theology
|
||
- Science

|
||
- Communication
|
||
- Relationships and Society
|
||
- Business
|
||
- Economics
|
||
- Sports
|
||
|
||
So from every standpoint we are all the wave.
|
||
|
||
The wave is in all and all is the wave.
