Math and physics—or ‘hard science’—can be intimidating to some (or many). Because most of the time, it is approached as abstract concepts and principles detached from reality. This area is often a space your kid may not feel too confident.
But to Ulli Helmstetter, teacher of mathematics and physics, these are like lenses to see through this perfectly uncertain world. It’s the knowledge that ties us closest to understanding nature because they are nature itself.
Having to tackle seemingly rigid concepts, it was easy to fall oblivious to your environment and self. No other subject could even frustrate you as mathematics. But Ulli understood these from a perspective that brings him back to the very purpose of knowledge: to be able to live in this world and live in it fully. Math and physics, in their essence, teach about the fundamental principles of nature; problem-solving and adaptation; of the truth, spirituality, and profoundness of life.
And as a teacher, he took it as his mission to share this lens with his students and encourage them to re-discover the infinite magic of the world that we live in as he did when he first fell in love with science.
The whole world is like a hologram. Every piece resembles the qualities of the whole. Like the tail of the elephant—you touch it and you know it's an elephant. No matter where you look if you look clearly and healthily at things, you're always connected with the truth. It doesn't matter which method you use to get or stay connected.
Just like how science is—that it is not a set of information that we have and can hold in our hands. Understanding it is an infinite process as it is ever-expanding. But the basic principles are what we can hold and learn. After all, these principles, math, and physics, are just anchors to the higher intelligence that have let us thrive amid the horrors and wonders of this world!
life Understanding the World of Meditation through Math and Physics
The first intro to physics and spirituality was a book by Vienna Heisenbeck The Path and the Home; changed the course of my life
Was in physics but the mechanic aspect but this book opened a new perspective.
All the old concepts that we have of nature were completely upside down.
I like to be puzzled and shocked. And this book did that to me.
Mainly about the uncertainty principle. Things are uncertain. They are not clearly defined that a particle is not at one place but at different places at the same time. The world became magical again.
A lot of us are dealing with the fear of possibility.
It's a mission to bring this to my students. To bring an understanding of the changes in paradigm - what an open, mystical world we are in.
Science is not a set of information that we have and that we know most or almost everything in the world. We hardly know anything. It's an infinite process. It's fascinating to have the feeling that we can take part in this process.
People like my teaching because I'm open to what is happening - the ability to bring the magic of math physics to them. It is not a fixed system that is boring and invented by mankind. This is nature itself.
No matter where you look if you look clearly and healthily at things, you're always connected with the truth. There's no escape. It's just a matter of being connected. It doesn't matter which method you use to get or stay connected.
One reason we're here is to enjoy this world - to live in it and to live it fully.
Is insane feeling bad or not acting according to the rule?
There's an instinct, impulse, or built-in ability to adapt.
To be in this world means to be in situations that can be horrible. But we are also naturally adaptable. We have a much higher intelligence that lets us comprehend and adapt to those situations. I trust with this higher intelligence. In the end, it's trust. It's not philosophy. It's trusting that intelligence.
You can only give them what you have yourself.
How do you change habits to make you a more whole, profound, and happier being?
If you run full speed
Switching gears
No other subject that could frustrate you as mathematics. In Math, you reach a point As soon as you take something as the chance to take the next level,
You learn how to approach problems. Math is like a lens for looking at your life.
