The Physics of Personal Development

Sunday 26 April 2009 @ 7:08 am

What do physics and personal development have in common?

Author Thomas Wolfe tells a story of Noble Prize winning physicist William Shockley. Known as the father of the transistor, Shockley was working with a young physics student who couldn’t seem the grasp the concept of amplification. Now, when you and I think of amplification, the first thing that comes to our mind is likely the amplification of sound, such as what occurs when you listen to the radio or even this audio. Shockley had an interesting way of explaining amplification and making the point that many things could be amplified, including sound or other energy forms. He explained it graphically by offering the image of someone tying a bale of hay to a mule’s tail and then striking a match to set the hay on fire. He went on to suggest that comparing the amount of energy expended by the mule once the hay was ablaze to the amount of energy required to strike the match, should easily convey the concept of amplification.

When I read this account, it struck me as both dark and humorous. But it also resonated with me as a rather well-spoken conveyance of the meaning of amplification. That got me to thinking about the use of the principle of amplification in personal development. In short, when we desire something, we often merely desire an amplification of something we already have. It seems at the time of desire, we just don’t have enough of it.

What is it that you most desire in your life? Or put another way, what is it you wish you could amplify? Is it money? Is it love? Is it relationships? Is it discipline? No matter what it is, use the image of the mule–the extremely motivated mule–to remind you that those things that we most desire can often be amplified if we set our minds to it and invest the necessary resources and energy to achieve all that we desire.

Love

1 Corinthians 13

Love

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love

Happy Valentine’s Day!
