“We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.”—Iris Murdoch
I’m going through menopause, and I can tell you for a fact that I am not made of sugar, spice, and all things nice. Boys are not made of snips, snails, and puppy dogs tails. I am a thinker, and I love to learn, but this is just rubbish from Palookaville. There’s no value in misleading children about themselves, whether adults think it’s cute or not. The tales of my childhood, however, pale in comparison with the turpitudes flung on children today. It doesn’t matter what girls and boys are made of anymore, because they can morph into the opposite sex with surgery and hormones, or simply move their minds and identify as anything contrived by techno-chicanery.
We really are attached to nature though, and that really does matter. The other day I was reading an article about polarity…masculine and feminine energies as powerful forces in attraction. It makes sense. Yang has a positive charge, while yin has a negative. Males have XY chromosomes while females have XX. On the most basic level, male is to female as protons are to electrons, with their positive and negative charges. It is said that life is in blood, but deep inside of blood, is another charge that’s responsible for the existence of all matter. What this means is you can get a sex change, for social reasons, but not a “self” change to be who you were born to be. In other words, you can be cajoled into disconnecting from yourself, and nature, to connect better with society.
I cannot imagine a male dog who believes that he/she is female and goes to the vet to get a sex change. If this ever happens, I’ll feel really sorry for these dogs, as I do for these human beings. I write about man vs. nature. Who we are in nature and who we are in society seem to be getting further and further apart. I visualize this process as a rubber band being stretched to its limits. We don’t really live in a red vs blue world…we live in society vs. nature. We are made by and come from nature, but we commune in societies that tower over nature, similar to Babel. Mother Nature can be brutal, and she can make mistakes, but she can also be kind. It is she who’s in charge of biology, not us!
All matter—solids, liquids, and gases—are made with atoms. Like a planet in outer space, the nucleus in an atom is less than one ten-thousandth the volume of an atom, but 99.9% of the atom’s total mass. Inside an atom are protons and neutrons, and inside these particles are quarks and gluons. Quarks can have a positive or negative electric charge, gluons have no electric charge, and both have three additional and unique states of charge known as color charges (nothing to do with color). According to the Department of Energy, color charges are connected by the strong nuclear force, and gluons have a chromodynamic binding energy.
There are four fundamental forces in nature: gravity, electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. The strong nuclear force is the most powerful force in the universe, even stronger than gravity. It holds together matter, and is generated by gluon exchange between quarks. While quarks have mass and a positive charge, gluons do not have mass and do not have a positive or negative charge. They travel at the speed of light and have another kind of charge, from a different kind of force, as I mentioned earlier. This force literally pulls quarks together to form protons and neutrons, and all matter in the universe.
Strong nuclear force works contrary to electromagnetic force. While electromagnetic force is stronger when magnets are close together and weaker when they are farther apart, the strong nuclear force is stronger when quarks are farther apart and weaker when they are close together. It’s like a rubber band, where the force becomes greater when stretched. For this reason, it seems to me that the strong nuclear force is like Mother Nature. When her little boys and girls get stretched too far away from themselves and nature, when their natural polarity stops working the way it should, when there are too many effeminate men and masculine women, things get out of whack, and her rubber band snaps causing chaos.
Like Yin and Yang, and masculine and feminine polarity, there is a similar “attraction” at the most fundamental level of matter. It is only when two gold nuclei collide under extremely high energy densities that this attraction is freed temporarily. This freed “state of matter” is called quark-gluon plasma. A similar but contrary process happens when two neutron stars collide. As they are ripped apart, creating a kilonova, nuclear matter is freed temporarily from the crushing weigh of gravity. In this short-lived newfound freedom, gold is formed.
From the smallest particle in matter to the densest objects in the cosmos, we see magic in gold. This brings to mind the work of Zecharia Sitchin. Ancient Sumerian texts, he said, reveal that the Anunnaki, lineage of the Nephilim (referenced in the Bible), came to Earth to mine gold. They created modern humans, by manipulating the DNA of our primates to work their mines and build their civilization here. Gold may be more precious than we can ever imagine. Read the Bible, and see that God loves gold. Moreover, on January 11, Advanced Science News published some research that old neutron stars may be hiding quark matter in their cores. What really blows me away is this…

An eye, right? Iris and pupil? Wrong! It’s the image of the debris left over after the creation of a quark-gluon plasma in the collision of two nuclei. Just a reminder, but quark-gluon plasma is a temporary short-lived “state of matter” where the quarks become unglued, so to speak. This brings massive destruction and massive creation at the same time, and it looks like an eye! There’s an alchemical symbol that tries to convey this idea of a master architect, called the Eye of Providence or the Eye of God. Originally, it was a Christian symbol, and it’s on the $1 dollar bill.
While we cannot see gluons, it is the stuff that holds the universe together. Solids, liquids, and gas would not exist without gluons binding quarks. Only collisions between two gold nuclei, or two neutron stars, can temporarily disrupt what binds nature together and create things new. Is this the reproduction of nature? Does The Big Bang, orgasm, and ejaculation mimic this process? As much as science has uncovered, there’s still considerable mystery about the relationships between quarks and gluons, humankind and nature, and man and woman. There is also considerable mystery over what fuels attraction, lust, and love in human relationships. Society is complex, and is becoming more and more disconnected from the earth. In a similar way, people are becoming more and more disconnected from themselves.
Rather than cajoling boys and girls into becoming whatever they feel like, we should find ways to help them reconnect with themselves, accept themselves as imperfect human beings, and develop a better relationship with their mother, who is Earth. We all have challenges—it is nature’s design. The answer is not to change our natural selves, but to see others as they are, unique and beautiful. If we look hard enough, at anyone who isn’t “normal,” we will find a part of ourselves that needs to grow. And if enough of us do this, we will create a strong force that counteracts society’s rogue flight from nature, and brings a better world for all of us.
