Quantum Tango Consciousness Relieves Stress

 Quantum Tango Consciousness is a state of mind and body that results we move in harmony and rhythm with a group of other dancers. It is a blissful state. It’s more noticeable when there are a lot of dancers, but crowd size is not a qualifying factor but connection, movement and music are. Connection is the physical link between two bodies, the music and the crowd, it is not limited to the body within but also the part of us that exists outside of our bodies, the corporeal form and the ethereal; movement is also necessary but it would be irrelevant if it were not for the music. Music is the key ingredient that provides the vibrations at the quantum level to expose our Consciousness to the others in attendance and put us in a state of Quantum Tango Consciousness. Exposing our consciousness to others makes us feels good. It is where we are most vulnerable and it is this vulnerability that is the wonder drug that feeds our opiate receptors to make us smile.

Not everybody at the dance achieves Quantum Tango Consciousnesses but it is easy to feel it if you are on the verge, unable to cross over the threshold to Nirvana due to whatever walls are between it and you. For those that do, there is a sense of universal understanding, an awareness of the others and their intentions without language or communication of any sort. That is how you know you are where you want to be, when you are in the minds of others. It's not like you can read their minds but you do feel their intentions quite clearly.

The soul is the most sensitive part of our consciousness. To touch another’s soul is very gratifying and difficult to do. It has a subtle sensor but not as subtle as the Universe’s. To touch your consciousness to the Oneness of the cosmos is the most gratifying of all sensations and much more difficult to do.

Tango’s super power is that it allows us to connect to another consciousness, singular and plural. There are many aspects of our collective civilizations that give us this opportunity but tango is the only available avenue I know of that is within reach of those who can dedicate themselves to achieving proficiency. Spending twenty years sitting in a cross-legged position humming a single chord is the long way around to the quantum state and very boring. We connect in tango by dropping our psychological and emotional barriers, the self-defense mechanisms we’ve erected to protect our fragile id; we merge our bodies with respect to the other’s balance; we move to the music and somehow, the other’s consciousness is revealed. This is not easily learned but it is fun and quite doable.

The classical view of consciousness stresses distances, great and small, the macro and the micro. When you pull back the curtain, you see that it's an illusion, a creation of our senses recorded in our brains and added to the classical view of Reality. The fundamental building blocks of matter are vibrations in the fields that pervade all of space. This is called the Quantum Consciousness. Classical consciousness is the Reality that can be measured. Quantum Consciousness is all the realities that are possible and is immeasurable. Quantum Consciousness is all about the possibilities of things, of distances, temperatures, radiation, etc. It’s all about what May be. Classical Tango Consciousness is all about the possibilities with your partner/crowd/universe. Classical Tango Consciousness is the dance you had; Quantum Tango Consciousness is all about the dances you May have.

The things your consciousness May experience are not set in stone but there are some paths you feel an inclination towards and some paths suggesting other directions. I think the key to understanding Quantum Consciousness is learning how to listen to the inclination and the suggestion. Failure to do this causes stress. That is why Quantum Tango Consciousness is so addictive: it helps relieve the stress caused by too many bad decisions or going in the opposite direction of the suggestion or inclination of the cosmic Quantum Consciousness. Quantum Tango Consciousness enables us to erase those bad decisions and get back on track with a clean record. Yes, that does sound like being Born Again and it is, kinda/sorta. All in all, this is a magical thing and salve for wounds suffered and unhealed. 

This is what makes tango great and why I am such an advocate: I have seen the light, been bathed in the waters and I have been healed. Praise Be! Can I get an Amen?

I think that the similarities in Quantum Tango Consciousness and Quantum Consciousness gives us quite a few clues on how to live our lives. In tango, it is imperative to respect your partners’ space and balance. The tanguero strives to present himself to the other in a manner that is pleasant and without distraction. The establishment of the connection should be smooth and the lead clear, unambiguous. Imagine doing that outside of tango and you have a guide for how humans should interact with each other. It can be a religion or a scientific process. Whatever you want to call it doesn’t matter, what matters is this kind of behavior makes the world a better place; I think it settles the argument on whether or not there are such things as right and wrong, and right is the preferred choice of the cosmic oneness because it reduces stress; it is anti-entropic and provides structure to our efforts in making things better. 

Stress is created when we do not follow the plan. We are born with preprogramming that we are meant to follow but, because of Free Will, we often don’t. This is where stress comes from. It starts as a simple decision, yes or no, and morphs into a speed demon eating us whole from the inside if we don’t address it.

The classical view of consciousness stresses distances great and small, the macro and the micro. When you pull back the curtain you see that it's an illusion, a creation of our senses recorded in our brains and added to the classical view of Reality. In the quantum view of consciousness, our growth of awareness is of utmost concern. We strive to reveal our programming and soothe our inner compasses by traveling a line that is true, rhythmic and in harmony to the song being sung by the cosmic choir. Maybe here is where we find out what it means to be good.

I have to wonder if the goal of Life is to be a better person, that the clues to the answers to the questions we are programmed to ask are in the striving to do good. I know that the milonga is the place to find answers and to explore the consciousness of others. It is there that I am happiest and where I want to be most. I hope I see you there, too.

Peace, Love

Tango Takes Us to New Dimensions

 In the beginning, according to Tolkien, there was nothing except the sound, a tone, steady yet silent, for in the nether, there was nothing to hear in the nothingness. The vapid void begat new chords and became the song from which the Universe sprung. A consequence of the cosmic choir, Time, gave rise to Harmony and Rhythm and they are the basis of all things.

In the present day, quantum physicists have discovered, after rigorous inquiry into the fundamental components of all matter, that there is nothing but frequency and vibration at the subatomic level; which frequencies are present and how they vibrate are dependent on what is experienced by a sentient observer. It is difficult to peer into the machinations of the quantum realm without expensive scientific equipment but I’ve found another way: Tango, it is the Way.

The more Tango I dance, the more I dream about dancing Tango. While I was dancing tango around the desert in New Mexico and Colorado, I began taking melatonin, a common sleep-aid supplement. It gave me the most incredible nightmares, only they weren’t really scary, just very vivid to the point I had a hard time convincing myself they were not merely illusions. I think they’re real. Something that happens in the subconscious shouldn’t be automatically discounted as worthy of further investigation, we might be experiencing an aspect of another dimension and not a cerebral fantasy. 

Kudos out there to all you dream research scientists, your work is more important than you realize.

In trying to understand String Theory, a phenomenon of quantum physics that proposes the existence of up to nine more dimensions, I find it difficult to conceive what such a dimension would even be like. Height, Width, Length and Time are the four known dimensions. If more exist, surely we must be able to perceive them. They’re probably sitting right in front of our noses and we can’t convince ourselves that they are unique facets of the Universe in need of further study because of our biases. I have to wonder if other species experience an awareness of these dimensions that are unknown to humans, like cats, they are able to do things we find impossible to comprehend. For example, cats always land on their feet, even when there is not enough space or time to fall. Could it be that they can access a realm without time, a facet of Reality where they are able to manipulate their bodies so they arrive on the ground with all four paws hitting first. 

It is well-known that our brains are able to deceive us, making us believe we are somewhere we are not. That’s what PTSD is. I experienced it once after a dangerous ocean crossing on a forty foot sloop that I crewed on a trip from Rhode Island to the Virgin Islands via Bermuda. For a month afterwards I woke up on the ship and, even though I knew I was not on the boat anymore, I couldn’t see anything of where I actually was, all I saw/smelled/heard/felt was the ship and an angry ocean.

I like to imagine that the Dreamworld is another dimension of Reality. When we die and our consciousness leaves our fleshy vessels, we continue on without them into the world we thought was just our imaginations. I wonder if Time doesn’t exist in the Dreamworld because events there are not experienced in chronological order yet seem so logical. In the nighttime theater of my mind I understand many things even though no words are spoken. Maybe it is better to say that language is not necessary here because meaning is conveyed in a manner we cannot yet fathom. I find it funny that recollections of Close Encounters with Aliens say much the same thing about how the Aliens communicated with their human captives. Sometimes I wonder that speech may be an impediment to the efficient exchange of ideas between sentient beings.

I don’t see a way we can gather any concrete evidence to prove or disprove what I am postulating about this mysterious realm. If we open our minds to the possibility that it is real, we can at least think a lot about it and try to make headway with the few clues we have been given.

Tango’s superpower is that it allows us to easily connect to the Universe. By joining with another in the company of others and moving in Harmony to the Rhythm of tango music, we can reach a place of subconscious awareness—a state where we perceive the minds of others and their intentions/desires without relying on physical communication, such as facial expressions, vocalizations, or body language. This is the Melody of Life and it does not care about Time for it can exist by Itself. In the space between the tandas, if we are lucky, we sometimes find ourselves in the quantum realm somewhere near the Dreamworld, for here is a place where language is of little use. When the music ends we send out our souls to find another to share our space. Perhaps, in opening our minds to new possibilities we will find the person of our dreams is not just a figment of our imaginations after all.

Tango, to Infinity and Beyond!

,I continue with my exploration of the physical world that I am learning is nothing more than a wave or vibration at the quantum level and veer off down the rabbit hole of Reality. Taking care of my parents in their waning years makes me think about what is on the other side of Living when our corporeal shell ceases growth and begins a permanent decay without our consciousness in it. Buddha tells us that Life is an illusion and that we are nothing; that, in being nothing, we are everything…or words to that effect.

In my previous posts of late I have been postulating that tango allows us to join in the collective consciousness and become one with the Universe via a combination of physical contact, psychological/spiritual/emotional connection all while moving in harmony with other couples to the vibrations and rhythms of tango music. In my mind, I am conducting scientific study through my obsession with this seductive, South American martial art: tango dancing.

When brain activity ceases, what awaits us on the other side? Of late, I have been entertaining the theory that the ‘Other Side’ is the same world that we live in in our dreams; what we do in the so-called ‘Real World’ is somehow important to what is happening to us in the dreamworld and vice versa. 

Maybe our time spent in fleshy containers is an opportunity of some sort to help us in the afterlife. If I follow that tangent I find myself abandoning scientific inquiry and pursuing a religious explanation for what is and why I am here. If our actions cause us to have violent nightmares, the byproduct of a guilty conscience, maybe we need to think about what we are doing with our time here on Earth. Maybe there is a reward of sorts for living a good life.

Dancing tango a lot makes me dream about dancing. I cannot say what lies beyond but I like the idea of walking a moral path in the hope of spending eternity in bliss, dancing at a never-ending milonga.

Peace, Love, Tango,
