Through the Eyes of an Electrical Engineer

Through the Eyes of an Electrical Engineer
25 June 2013


We're a family of engineers so I guess it's not surprising this point of view would come out from me. Na-aliw lang ako when i thought it through.

From wiki - "Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points." or in equation form:

I = V/R



where I is the current
  V is the potential difference
  R is the resistance of the conductor

A parallel in life would be something similar if:

  I is the flow of love (instead of current)
  V is the potential of the consciousness and
  R is the resistance which limits the flow

Call it mushy, corny, hard-sell but it's true.

One's potential is limited by various factors like pride, fear, greed and the likes which are all forms of resistance that would characterize a person.

The universe, I believe was designed, created and driven by love (check Catechism).

If we resistors, we will have to reduce the resistance by overcoming pride, fear, greed...if we are to increase our potential.



Kids are like capacitors. They receive (and store) so much love and eventually discharge later in life :)




Highly enlightened people are like light bulbs - low resistance with intensity being proportional to the flow :)

Electrons (negatively charged) flow opposite the current - ha!

God as the source of infinite love I guess comes with omnipotence (infinite current equates to infinite voltage potential but impossible to define if resistance is zero, logical?)

I believe our existence on earth is meant to lower our resistance and increase our potential (easier said than done).

Someone came and said "I am the way, the truth, and the life.".
