Notes on a video, notes on a story

 Particularly note 3:25 --> 8:20

"The wise man began to praise the king very, very highly.  The king was very humble.  Wherever he had greatness, he had humility.  When a person is truly humble, the more he is praised and made great, the smaller and more humble he becomes.  Therefore, when the wise man praised him and spoke of his greatness, the king became very small and humble, until he literally became nothing.

The king then could not hold himself back.  He threw aside the curtain so as to see the wide man...who knew and understood all this.  In doing so, however, the king revealed his face, and the sage saw him."

("The Humble King", Rabbi Nachman's Stories, by R. Aryeh Kaplan, pp. 134-135)

 Think of momentum as...well, spiritual state.  A mind hoIds many possible actions, hopes, fears..."position" might be thought of as a set of imagined situations, and "momentum" as one's ability to created a desired/undesired outcome from that situation.  All other properties (Pauli exclusion, energy, mass, uncertainty) can also be transferred, with some work.  I hope I get to do that work, but it might just remain here as a seed.

Learn humility from the neutron star.  And, if you wish, learn much more.  Why, in a "knowing-he-must-collapse" state, would the king be forced to open the curtain?  Why, in that state, does he never (to the eyes of others) collapse?

I wish I knew how to better explain this...there is a lot of overlap between the phenomena described in that video, and this story.

Other notes:

1. With momentum comes frequency.  There exists a lesson in Likutei Moharan (60-70 range) which describes the difference between someone learning from the tzaddik face to face and learning from a book, that they'll be energized "just right".  If a star holds many frequencies, to the point where that space continually expands, then the process described in this video may be a good way to visualize the concepts of that lesson.

2. As far as Pauli exclusion principle applying in the world of mind.  There exists another lesson in Likutei Moharan (unknown location) which describes a "ladder" of madregas/spiritual levels, and no two people can occupy the same position at the same time, and describes the dynamics of moving on that ladder.  This video may be useful in visualizing that lesson as well.
