Sculpting Stardust: Sacred Equations in the Global Village: Experience = L × C²: Energy-Mesh (E=LC²) - The Genesis of Thought - Anthony L. Canali

 

The How When and Why of the Universe of Sculpting Stardust

A brief historical update

Excerpt from the book – Sculpting Stardust, p. 112

Experience = Logic × Creativity²

(E = LC²)

SHORT BOOK EXCERPT:

“If Einstein’s equation revealed the hidden power of matter, then E = LC² reveals the sacred architecture of awareness itself. Logic and creativity aren’t opposites—they are twin engines of perception. When fused, they don’t just explain experience… they create it. We are not merely observers of reality. We are its sculptors.”

Hello friends,

Well, May 31st, 2025, marked the pre-release of my E-Book book Sculpting Stardust: Sacred Equations in the Global Village on Amazon. I’d like to share a little-known story about the origins of this project—one that I haven’t shared until now and will be part of my official blog. Scan the QR Code on the back of the print versions to get to this blog post.

Recently, I received a message from Christina, one of my followers on X (Twitter). She wrote:

“Hello Anthony Canali. How are you doing today? I went through your profile and saw your amazing book. Your story is great. You’re doing a great job—keep it up! I’m really curious to know what inspired you to write Sculpting Stardust.”

Thank you, Christina. I appreciate the chance to explain how this journey began.

Over two decades ago, while taking an upper-level course in The Sociology of Knowledge at York University, we were introduced to a powerful quote from Karl Mannheim’s Ideology and Utopia (1929):

“We will not succeed in attaining an adequate psychology and theory of knowledge as a whole as long as our epistemology fails, from the very beginning, to recognize the social character of knowing, and fails to regard individualized thinking only as an exceptional instance.” (p. 231)

This books quote planted the seed for a lifelong inquiry into how knowledge is shaped—not just socially, but symbolically, psychologically, and creatively.

As part of that class essay, I began personally defining a theory regarding evolving human epistemology—“the study of the source and limitations of knowledge”—and soon realized that Mannheim was right: knowledge isn't created in isolation. But I also began to ask: What is the role of symbolic thought, creativity, and subjective experience in forming that knowledge?

That question led to two original diagrams in my essay—and ultimately, to a concept I call The Theory of Symbolic Awareness, centered around the equation:

E = LC² — Experience = Logic × Creativity² what I suggest is the genesis of thought itself.

This insight came to me—interestingly—on a bus ride home, looking out the window. I saw it as an inward parallel to Einstein’s E = mc²—but focused on human awareness instead of physical mass. If energy and mass are interchangeable in physics, might logic and creativity combine to generate conscious experience? Isn’t consciousness mass I thought. Can the mass be seen. Epistemologies are the “Waves” over time of that mass. As I postulate in my book the epistemologies “move” as forms of lived Knowledge. Lattices over time and space that bifurcate into more sophisticated areas of knowledge. Ultimately, lived knowledge perceptions.

Over the years, this idea evolved into a wider metaphysical framework. I saw human cognition as a kind of compressed matter, with logic and creativity acting as dynamic masses. Experience becomes the energy that flows from their fusion—shaping both individual minds and collective realities.

Later, this became part of what I describe in the book as the global energy-mesh—an invisible lattice of symbolic exchanges that affects how societies process knowledge, meaning, and evolution.

Just as a small amount of mass can produce vast energy in Einstein’s theory, a small spark of symbolic insight—multiplied through logic and creativity—can reshape consciousness itself. And as with any system, this energy can be constructive or destructive—radiating outward or imploding inward—depending on the wisdom behind it.

That’s where human distinction from artificial intelligence becomes vital: it’s not information or logic alone that defines us, but the capacity for wisdom, empathy, and symbolic depth. – Cognitopia. In our current world of technology. Techno-Spiritualism as social mindfulness.

The metaphysical pattern behind E = LC² is, I believe, a spiritual twin to Einstein’s equation—one focused on internal transformation rather than also an external force manifested. A key to understand the evolving architecture of human thought that can if fostered reach Quantum levels of awareness with the purposeful/respective aid of AI.

Well… Thank you for reading my blog.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts—Here - on Amazon, on X, or in person. Your feedback helps refine the equation, the theory, and the broader vision this book seeks to share - Cognitopia.

Let’s keep shaping and decoding the stardust—together.
