The metaphysics of nuclear energy indicates that the Atomic World is social and sentient. We need dearly need to check this out.

Thank you Government of Canada for providing this space to comment on plans to manage the disposal of Canada's used nuclear fuel. With respect, I want to tell you that I think there is a bigger and deeper picture of the Atomic World that firstly needs to be recognised. This will then impact hugely on how all the nuclear nations address their waste issue.

I'll be super succinct. Firstly to say I was a geologist involved in a search for uranium (in NWT) and this made me profoundly curious about the nature of the energy in the atoms. Astrophysics determined in the 1920's how 'four-interactive-forces' were a crucial ingredient in the Big Bang process. Nuclear physics then identified how these same 'four forces' are in each and every atom. My curiosity and introspective nature prompted me to study the metaphysics of these 'four forces' and lo and behold, this approach reveals how they are equally here at work within and between us humans. They are especially evident in our family lives. My experience here is that three of them are forms of Love, while the fourth is a form of Light.

This fairly simple insight indicates that atoms are the family systems of the particle population and that the particles are social and sentient, the same as ourselves. Above all, it indicates that the Atomic World is as a dimension of Life in itself. I've a website which flags up the-magic-of-nuclear-energy but I read it is not acceptable to post the URL.

The salient point is that the same energy in the atoms as is here within us humans flags up the potential we Humanity have to develop a remedial response to the phenomena of radiation. In my experience (from working at Dounreay (the reactor here in northern Scotland)) radiation is a collective expression of the distress of the particle population who have experienced their family systems being broken up by the fission process.

I sense there is a big big adventure waiting for us, once we relax the colonial gaze we have of the the Atomic realm. Look and see how this is as another level of life, downstairs from where we are, in this same multi-tiered universal system. I write to you from my home in Scotland but I am a Canadian citizen, so I encourage you to be bold and think of the atomic particles as the First Nations inhabitants of the "sub-continent of Atomica". Now - good wishes.
