It takes a certain amount of trust to complete an action. Upon a whim, I’d recently researched the root words of the word “confidence.” People use this word all the time to explain something we all intuitively understand. Or do we really? I didn’t, because after realizing I had no idea what the root words were to construct a meaning from the word confidence, I really didn’t know what it meant.
I already knew the prefix “con” means with, or together. So I found that the root word “fid” comes from the Latin fidere, which means to trust, or to have faith. I realized, then, that confidence really means to have faith, or to trust in something together with that thing or person: to have faith together. Confidence now sounds like a religious conviction.
This makes sense to me, because even science can’t explain the nature of reality at its most elemental level still due to “quantum freakiness.” So what we have on our level of physical existence is really an unquestioning faith in something or someone because that person or thing has exhibited patterns that have been repeated countless times.
After further investigation into the Latin “fidere,” I found that it is used in another word called fiducial. Fiducial is often used in the financial field. It relates to trust funds and so forth. So there’s the root meaning of trust found in fiducial. It can also mean “reliable,” which is really just a synonym for trust and faith.
I thought that the title Fiducial Mechanics would be a good fit to give meaning to this image. Muscles, joints, mechanics and pivot points are expressed in this picture. It takes faith to move. That’s what I’m implying. How is it that acetylcoline transmits from your neuromuscular junctions? It all happens mostly in the unconscious bodily processes.
I theorize that matter really isn’t the dead, mechanical stuff that mainstream science still likes to portray it as. I believe that the whole universe is teaming with intelligence, even if it is so obscure, and hidden from the intelligences us humans have evolved so far in our own conscious developments. It took certain measurements of time to finally secure reliable movements and behaviors in the chemical processes our bodies perform, and these processes were accomplished by different forms of conscious awareness.
