Contraction Quotes

“If we would, hypothetically, explore the idea of the universe's contraction, the result would be similar to the black hole. Regardless of a much bigger mass of the whole Universe, as ours is, the absolute contraction would lead to the same point at which the black hole reaches maximum density. The point of maximum density is Zero, at which point the Big Bang happens (or the Universe disappears, which is less likely). In this sense, from the point of the result, expansion or contraction of the Universe would lead to almost the same result.”

“Pulsation: Pulsation is a foundational concept in Reichian therapy that describes the innate, rhythmic expansion and contraction of life energy (orgone) within all living organisms. Reich identified pulsation as the core biological function.”

“Your world is brimming with wonder and mystery. Your thoughts stretch across hundreds of light-years of space and billions of years of time. To you, the Earth is just a speck of dust in the universe. To you, this era is just an instant in time too short to measure. The entire universe seems to exist to satisfy your curiosity and fulfill your existence... I truly envy you. I dreamed of this when I was young, but to enter your world was too difficult.”

“In Hayek’s monetary theory of the cycle the upswing is generated by monetary expansions that cause an excess of investment over volun- tary saving and a shift in the structure of production toward more time- consuming processes. This structure, created by a depressed money rate of interest, cannot be sustained. Monetary expansion, then, will not pro- duce an everlasting boom, and when the expansion eventually stops, crisis and depression follow. With regard to the sources of monetary expansion, while others like Mises put the blame on the misguided (“inflationist” or “cheap money”) attitude of the monetary authorities, Hayek pointed to the endogenous process of money creation by the banks, in particular in a sys- tem of fractional reserve banking (see, e.g., Hayek 2012a [1933a], chap. 4, vs. Mises 2006b [1928]).”

“In the vast silence of creation, two streams of orgone flowed. They were the primal dance of life itself, vibrating with a rhythm as ancient as the cosmos. These streams oscillated, throbbed, and surged with a pulse that whispers of eternity. This movement of expansion and contraction is woven into the very fabric of existence. When these streams meet and overlap, they form a harmony that births something greater—a unified force, a living system. This is superimposition, a coming together, a layering of one essence upon another.”
