Introduction

Light. The Earth is bathed in Light daily. Thus: Vision is equipped to utilize Light as Life strives for survival. If there is no Light: Then the Earth is frozen. So Light is also a Source of Heat. A third product of Light is : Food. Light feeds plants. Plants feed the rest of Life. Much of Life eats the other. In this way all Life is made of and from: Light.

But lastly and seemingly and surprisingly most importantly: Light is also: Photon. And the photon is a boson. It accounts for all movement on at a visual scale. Yes: This is surprising. We see no Light in every movement. Yet it is at the scene of every proton and electron interaction. Light – photons – are the Source of all: Force. For all movement. Light thus is literally in every object and movement. So Light is like God.

But – well, Again: There is one last surprise. Light – in the end is not – most important. The strange thing is: Gravity is the Source of Consciousness. And the Source of all Consciousness resides in your Brain. Every Hydrogen atom possesses a tiny Black Hole. It is this tiny Black Hole that rules the Cosmos. Photons provide the Power to do things. But behind all movement is Mind – is Consciousness.

Gravity rules the universe. Energy is concentrated in tiny Black Holes. Concentrated Energy is Consciousness. The universe is like one large Brain. There is Fate and Destiny influencing your Life – every day.

How Light is Made

.

What intrigues us is that Hydrogen seems to be involved with the generation of Light in stars. But it also seems to possess a Black Hole which absorbs all Light. The reason for this is: Hydrogen formed around countless tiny Black Holes in the first microseconds of the Big Bang. So this Black Hole thing is a relic of ancient ancient history. The generation of Light on the other hand is happening now – every day. Amazingly both are carried on – all at once.

In a star: The mathematics is relentless, and the concepts, though starting with basic chemistry, quicky expand into calculus, quantum mechanics and wave functions. The sun is an atomic furnace fusing Hydrogen into Helium releasing Light as a byproduct. So Light is an incidental part of what a star does? No. Light is photons. Photons are bosons. They provide the Force that makes the impact of Hydrogen nuclei upon the world around them – possible. Photons are involved in every interaction and reaction that Hydrogen atoms and ions are involved in.

So – in a star: Preheat the oven to twenty million degrees Kelvin. Take two nuclei of Hydrogen, each consisting of a single proton. Mold with the pressure found only at the core of a star. Let the temperature and pressure overcome the protons’ mutual repulsion forcing them to collide. There doesn’t seem to be a Strong Force anywhere around. Well, there is only one proton in most of the nuclei. Let protons then fuse into deuterons – heavy Hydrogen – there is the Strong Force at this step – releasing a neutrino plus one electron and its quantum-based opposite, a positron. Electron and positron soon collide, destroying each other and emitting a single photon – Light,. But the photon is just the beginning. To keep the reaction going, add carbon, whose catalytic properties enable the formation of Helium. On through reaction after reaction, let protons, positrons, and electrons smash, releasing more photons, fusing into more complex nuclei. Serve by sending photons to Earth – each second the sun converts four million tons of mass into pure Energy. The photons made in the process can spend up to a million years ricocheting through the furnace, a journey scientists call a ‘random walk.’ Once reaching the sun’s surface, photons zip to Earth in just over eight minutes.

Einstein and Idea Experiments

All his life – Einstein performed Idea experiments. Light and Einstein. Einstein was interested in more than Light – of course. He made significant breakthroughs. He also paraded forth a lot of nonsense. Most of this nonsense was related to Light. His most famous declarations concerning Light – and the Time and Space Light traverses – seem to have been simply conjured from air. What would the world look like – if he could ride on a beam of Light? If a person could run after a Light wave with the same speed as Light – you would have a wave arrangement which would be completely independent of Time.

We say: Time would stop. There would be no movement. There would only be an I – without memory. No recollection of any movement at all. It is impossible to cogently address these problems without the concept of Consciousness. Only things that move at the Cosmic speed limit – well, we have that backwards – only things without mass can move at the Cosmic speed limit – which just happens to be also the – speed of Light. So does this mean that electrons do not really move at that speed? Yes – they must move a tiny bit slower. When one moves at that speed – Time stops. Is there any empirical verification of this? Just from an existential philosophical viewpoint: A particle without Time – is a particle without memory – if there is no memory there is no memory of things past – there is simply – no movement. All movement stops when a particle reaches the Cosmic speed lmit. So Time does stop – but only in this existential, philosophical sense.

So Einstein knew that such a thing was impossible yet he would spend the next decade pondering the ride. Viewed from a beam of Light, clocks would seem frozen, the Light from their moving hands never reaching the retreating passenger. And yet, like someone in a slow elevator, Light’s rider would barely know he was moving. All the staid laws of Newton’s universe would be upset. Upset by the crazy illusions of a person who has never taken a basic philosophy class. What does a person learn in any basic philosophy class – about Space and Time?

Space and Time

Einstein’s Nobel prize for the photoelectric effect was earned -. although the work by Ersnt Mach had done most of the work already. The rest that he is famous for: Seems to be more products of hubris than accomplishment.

There are many problems with Space-Time. Well, first of all: Coordinates belong on a sheet of paper. They are not real things. All of this comes from philosophy which these people are just too busy to read. So you try to place four dimensions on a piece of paper. We notice that physicists are having problems reconciling Einstein’s ideas with the rest of the Standard Model. Well – see here!?: Here is the first sign of problem right here. You can’t place four dimensions on one piece of paper. Space is static – it is one place in time. It is like a painting. Dead. It is simply: Now. Time is a sequence of times. All of this cannot be on one sheet of paper. There is one other obvious problem which they are not even aware of: There is a fifth dimension!!!!!! Every determinantal formula such as F = ma – possesses five dimensions. In these cases the = sign is really a transformation sign. Think of a nuclear explosion.

So the fifth dimension: What do we do with that? These people are hopelessly lost in their mathematics. Our job is to provide the Entire Right Side of the Brain!

Space has another problem: It isn’t real. As we say it exists only on a piece of paper. It is used to describe characteristics of objects in the room around one. It is used to measure objects. Such that mathematical operations may be conducted. It is like drawing a picture of an object. The picture can useful but it is not the object being depicted. Space is a Cartesean area on a paper that is used to depict a figure that is analogous to a real object in such a manner that mathematical operations may be conducted and valid conclusions drawn without using the object itself. The relationship between the drawing and that which is depicted is an idea. The drawing is an analogy – It is not a real thing. So when one says that Space compresses – one misspeaks. Things may happen to an object which may be represented on the piece of paper. But making changes to the drawing does not immediately impact the object being depicted.

Then there is Time. So one reads: Time stops. What the …!!! Now a philosopher understands that Time does one thing – it measures the movement of things. Time cannot stop – it cannot go forwards or backwards. There is Consciousness. Consciousness can perceive, think and act and act with memory. Consciousness only perceives the present. The present is the only Time that exists. We have memory. We have recollection of past events. From this recollection we can do a lot of stuff. We know what objects are on the basis of their similarity with other things we have seen in the past. All of this is: A product of memory.

We know causation. We know of the relationships among these objects that we recognize: Based on the similarities in the sequence of movements among them. From all of this we are able to take memory and project into possible futures. All of this – except the Present – is artificial – it is all – simply – Memory. So: Space exists only if we can recognize objects. Time does not exist at all. It is an illusion created by memory. The ether of Space and Time that Einstein has created – simply does not exist as a real thing. It never travels beyond the world of the idea. Physicists make these mistakes for two reasons. They have not read philosophy. And: They are left hemispheric dominant in their Brain. One simply cannot deduce what we are saying. One requires 12 additional disciplines to say anything like we just said. This requires induction – not deduction. It simply requires a different half of the Brain. A half that is not allowed into the halls of a university.

And then Einstein said: A particle goes faster and faster until it becomes Energy – and then Time stops. Whoa! Let us review what we just said: We have 12 disciplines to work with. From philosophy we know that there is Consciousness – and this can perceive, think, and act – and think with memory. If one possesses pure Consciousness – without any memory – well. without memory: As we said – one is living only in an eternal Present. There are no objects. There are things – but nothing you have seen before – so no knowledge – – you cannot identify anything – there are no names for things. There is also: No movement. One only lives in a present without a past to compare what one sees right now with.. So: No movement. And if there is no movement – there is no Time. Time’s only function is to measure movement

So- it happened!: well, we were reading – and an author was talking about neutrinos and how as they zip through space they change identify from an electron-neutrino to a muon- neutrino – to a tau-neutrino – and/but sometimes Time is reversed! What he means is: The sequence of neutrino appearance is reversed – not Time! Physicists need to learn from philosophers and be very exact in their use of words – such as the words – Space and Time. One can’t just use words like that to impress people. They have very strict meanings.! Time never never never moves backwards!I It only exists because of Consciousness which possesses memory. What does exist is the Present. All else is related to memory. There is only the: Fond remembrance of past events – or the projection forward of such memories – into the unknown – from that known past. If there is no memory: There is only a Present and no more. The Present is the only thing: That exists.

Consequently: Memory works in a very specific manner. You can only remember things that have happened. You cannot remember things that might happen in the Future. Such sloppiness in thinking leads to wastes of Time – and money. We need new Sources of Energy.

OK – now this speed of Light thing: One must be thinking particles – quanta of Light – when one measures the speed of Light. One must know where these separate quanta are at different times and not look at clocks when one says time is speeding up or slowing down – one looks at the Earth. Is it speeding up and slowing down? The answer is: The Earth never varies its motion – so Time does not change either. Time is always a comparison of something we know like the rotation of the Earth – and we compare that – with some other motion – such as a person running.. But this minibook we are writing – is about other problems that exist in physicists’ thought

There seems to be a problem with identifying one quantum of Light. Light seems to be one continuous wave. Except when it hits something. Then: Spat!! Obviously this continuous flow of Light must have varying amounts of concentration within it. We believe that particles possess heavier concentrations of Energy. This translates into greater concentrations of Consciousness. These concentrations contrast with the thin fields of energy attached to them. In the case of Light – these attached fields are rolled up right next to the flow of quanta. The quanta are in a flow – but there must be small interstices of space between them: Spaces that speed of light machines are not picking up. Which leads one to the following sort of quandary: How could Light travel at the same speed regardless of its direction or source? Such a constant speed defies common sense. Such a speed defies Laws of Nature! So Einstein proposed his solution to the paradox: Time must be mutable. The constant speed of Light made Time ‘relative.’ If Light is a constant then Time cannot be. Time as perceived by a stationary observer ticks more slowly for moving bodies. Two planes with clocks circle opposite the Earth in different directions and compare with a stationary clock. There are three clocks: One on each plane and one on the ground. The clocks duplicate the Time the Earth takes to rotate on its axes. When the planes circle and then land – all three clocks should all be the same. Because the rotation of the Earth has not changed in any way.!!!! The problem is that the Earth has moved during the time the planes were circling. Time is always related to some motion that is fixed and cannot be changed to compare another motion with. Time is always constant because the Earth always turns the same – even when clocks may change for some reason. All of this is basic philosophy. It just appears that people stop thinking when things they are studying become too small or go too fast. Induction is required to find Truth. Equations no longer work well. One needs input experience from 12 other disciplines. When one creates a synthesis – a hypothesis – one can never reach certainty but can approach a high level of probability of things being True.

Relativity

Well, Professor Matt Strassler in his book about ‘Waves in an Impossible Sea’ – goes on and on about relativity and how it has been an issue since the Ancient Greeks. So: We guess he goes through all this because he is perplexed that people are giving Einstein such a hard time for his ideas concerning the topic. The fact is: Einstein simply was not given the Noble Prize for his ideas concerning relativity – this is a fact – and we think this omission was worthy! He certainly seems confused at times. We have gone into these confused ideas in detail elsewhere. OK for example – we shall just state this and move on: When it comes to the speed of Light and clocks and all that – Einstein is plain wrong. And this book on Cosmic Oceans is driving its own nails into that coffin by its emphasis upon ‘waves’ – which shows us that physicists don’t really think about particles at all – just fields.

Einstein – Gravity – Space Time. This whole question of Space-Time. We are beginning to think that most of this conundrum is a semantics thing. Einstein saw the need for something – so: He simply invented it! Physicists are looking for an aether – well, sound is related to air – waves in the ocean are related to water – perhaps Space-Time is merely a substitute in language for the ‘aether’ all physicists are looking for. Waves of Light seem to be moving very quickly in no known substance.

The Cosmic speed limit: ‘c’. Well the speed of light is one example of this. It turns out that other phenomena also travel at this speed and of course less. But we have to agree that this ‘speed limit’ is an empirical thing. It is not something that has been deduced to be True. Tomorrow we may just simply discover something that travels faster. It appears that if a particle possesses a rest mass of zero – it will travel at the Cosmic speed limit. Can anything move faster? There is no intrinsic reason for this speed to be the fastest.

Photons have zero rest mass, and the fact that they travel at the speed of ‘c’ confirms this. But they have nonzero gravitational mass, which is why they are affected by Gravity. So Light is not bent by a Space-Time warping but by the effect – the impact – of bodies interacting with Gravity.

General relativity: There is the equivalence principle – that acceleration in one frame is indistinguishable from gravity in another frame. If one is on a merry-go-round – the centrifugal force one feels is equivalent to what being pulled about by Gravity would feel like. So Space-Time becomes warped because an object with mass warps the Space-Time around it – so one thinks he or she is experiencing Gravity – but he or she is merely falling into a hole created by a curve in Space-Time.

There is an alternative explanation which would make a lot more sense and be compatible with Cosmic Law: There is a Source of Gravity like tiny Black Holes in every Hydrogen atom which aggregated can exert pull upon objects. On Earth Hydrogen exists only two places: In water – that is the oceans – and in Life – which was created in oceans.

Such an explanation would yield particles, fields, and Forces which would be compatible with the Standard Model and would lead directly to a Theory of Everything.

So – what happened? How could a person as intelligent as Einstein come up with such crazy hypotheses?

Well, let us take a small detour and consider the Cosmic I.

So: Suppose Einstein’s idiocy is somehow connected with the fact that he noticed his Cosmic I.. What we are referring to is: When we were infants our mother worked with us until we had developed a Social I – so we could fit in with people, not become obnoxious – and not have a brutal short life. We soon forget what we knew from the beginning – the fact that: I am ‘looking out’. I am the center of the World – No! The Universe!!

It is time for Consciousness to make its appearance in science. There simply will be no more major breakthroughs until we accept the fact of its existence. So Einstein suddenly became aware of his Cosmic I – and soon was toying with the idea that if one did not have memory – Time and Space would change. Time would disappear. Space would be an assortment of completely new things every second. Light which moves at the fastest speed ever seen on earth – would just look the same when all movement stops. Space and Time would not exist in ways that it had existed before. Time and Space actually would become clay that he could mold to his own wishes. This ‘warping’ of his perception of the World – would somehow release Gravity. Suddenly: Einstein was in a weird place. With no Time – with no meaning. And this bizarre world that he created caused him to think all of this through. Somehow when particles go too fast – they stop being particles and become pure Energy. Left and right hand muons begin to flash back and forth – although their spins remain the same. Einstein is in this Consciousness Land without memory. And all sorts of things come to his mind.

It is time to welcome Consciousness into the room. And begin to think about Everything – again! Nietzsche and Kierkegaard have warned us of the hubris and craziness an encounter with our Cosmic I can bring.

Light and Consciousness

So: Is Light Spiritual? Is God Light? We think not. Light is photons. Among bosons – photons are some of the weaker ones. God is Consciousness. All Energy is Consciousness. The more compact and concentrated Energy is – the more Powerful is its Consciousness. The god particle is not the Higgs boson. More likely the god particle – is the proton. This is because the proton possesses something that most physicists will never even look for. Every proton possesses a tiny Black Hole.

Within microseconds of the Big Bang – the universe was filled with countless tiny Black Holes – which subsequently disappeared. There were arguably as many tiny Black Holes as there are Hydrogen atoms today. It is quite possible that Hydrogen atoms in the universe formed around these tiny Black Holes.

You are ‘looking out’ from the center of one of these tiny Black Holes. But deduction does not take one to that knowledge. Only induction – the right side of the Brain is able to make that discovery. Knowledge of this Black Hole comes only from synthesis. It comes mostly from the discipline of Philosophy

You are ‘looking out’ from the center of one of these tiny Black Holes. You in this way – have personal detailed knowledge – as to what it is like to ‘look out’ from the center of an atom. What it is like to ‘look out’ from the center – of a tiny Black Hole! Well from the center of a Black Hole – in general!

Because it is eternal, there is no end to Light. Photons, unlike other subatomic particles, have no mass and therefore do not decay. Whether begat by God or an indifferent Cosmos, the first photons of creation are still out there – somewhere. Which leads to questions: So the universe is slowly losing Energy? Light will travel outwards forever? What is Light doing in this instance – exactly. Light has so much work to do in each atom every day. Then it is sent outwards forever – towards what – for what reason? To communicate with other particles?

Well, in principle – deduction requires empirical knowledge from experiment. And every person has personal knowledge concerning the Black Hole that resides in his or her Brain. However there are two problems with this Source of knowledge. As we say: First our mothers have diverted our attention. We were born with a Cosmic I, that is ‘looking out’. But our mothers very quickly have created in us – Social I. She has given us an I that allows one to live a normal Life among other human Beings. Nietzsche and Kierkegaard have warned us of the dangers of the Cosmic I. If an exceptionally intelligent person should notice his or her Cosmic I – he could either go insane – or suddenly observe that he or she may be possibly a god him- or herself.

The fact is: There is a miracle here. There is real Magic. In fact the Cosmic I is Theee real source of all real Magic. Somehow primitive people were more aware of fundamental Truths regarding humanity than physicists are today. For the fact is: Every person on Earth – is ‘looking out’. Every person on Earth is – the center of the universe. Indeed – this is – Magic!!! So we haven’t noticed such a thing primarily because of our mother.

Also very seldom has the university with its 12 disciplines noticed the Cosmic I. Philosophy has. Biology when it is considering the ramifications of Darwin’s evolution may broach the topic of Consciousness. But in general such talk concerning the I is almost illegal it would seem. It is just not allowed – in polite company. Yet it is apparent now that the topic of Consciousness is almost an essential topic for discussion in all the disciplines – if progress is to be made in intellectual and scientific thought generally. Indeed – If humanity is to be able – to survive!

Conclusion

So: Einstein has said some pretty outlandish things. And there has been little one could do about it. Afterall – this is physics we are talking about. Engineers-to-be have to take physics . But they are Engineering majors so they are protected if they receive ‘C’s in physics and chemistry classes. If one desires to be a physics major – one learns very quickly one needs to be a wizard in/with mathematics. Because that is what physics has evolved to be: Primarily pages and pages of mathematics. When it comes to creative work – physics like the rest of the university curriculum reserves professorships for those who are dominant in the left side of their Brain.

Light is God’s reflection? God’s divine messenger? Quantum theory works on paper, yet still it is incomplete. Wielding ‘c’ like a wand, Einstein had toppled Newton, quantized physics, and destroyed the constancy of mass, energy, space, time.

Light always moves at 186,000 miles per second. Light possesses no mass. Thus it has no ‘rest mass’. Light always moves at ‘c’ regardless of the motion of the perceiver. This is because a photon cannot be stopped and its position compared with other things. So the fact that Light is always the same is really meaningless. You can’t use it for anything important. But they say that GPS cannot be done correctly without this fact. I think it is like all things quantum mechanics – all of it is True until it isn’t. Smart phones are made more powerful because components are made smaller and smaller – until they can’t be made any smaller. Then don’t worry – we have quantum mechanics all in equations. But one glance tells you: They don’t even know what a particle or wave is or what they do. They have in the past simply told us: just Trust us. We’ll have all the equations when we need them. Until that day comes – and Nada!

There is a reason Einstein did not receive a Nobel Prize for relativity. This was because important people simply felt that his ideas were wrong. But everyone accepted what he was saying as being True. Why not? What difference does any of it mean anyway. Everything is too small too fast – we’ll just say what he says if True – what harm is there in doing that?

The World is at a crossroards right now! There are only days of oil left. Two-thirds of the world is underdeveloped. Population is exploding. Automobiles have ruined the Earth. We have run out of Time. We must run fast now merely to salvage what little we have left.

It is Time for both sides of the Brain – to be identified, developed, and taught to work together. Things have gotten – very very serious!

Our blog is actually a small website inside of a large one…in which all

things are free…Everything on our site is either free or very inexpensive.

We all…and we mean you, too.!..We all need to work together in Creative Clusters to help build the Future!

Introduction

I know that what we are asserting here is a bit surprising…But there seems to be about a 99.99 percent chance of much of this…being right. …being True! We are able to obtain such an assurance in the following way…We have our own Science of Everything….We have our own Scientific Method…and…We have our own way of conducting experiments….All of this is necessary…because our instruments cannot measure things that are too small or too fast. This lack of instruments has resulted in scientists coming to wrong conclusions concerning relativity and quantum mechanics. This lack of instruments is now holding back research concerning human beings,…like, curing Cancer… making even smaller computer chips….fighting Global Warming.

Human beings have been doing very well… lately….We have had Industrial Revolution for three centuries now…with grand results…but we have garnered most of the low hanging fruit…and we have ignored externalities….We have created Global Warming and other bad effects of development which now threaten our Future…..We are running out of the raw materials that Industrial society requires…, most conspicuously oil….We need to take care of everyone on this small blue planet moving in the black….We need to find new sources of Energy…and start building a whole new Life out of things that we have ignored or were too microscopic to work with in the past….We thought we were home…all bad times behind us…

Do we have to keep doing…and redoing…the impossible?

The thing is…We have a new Science…we are now 99.99 certain that every atom possesses Consciousness…Without instruments we cannot at the present time get to 100 percent certainty….However, a new rule that goes along with a new Science and Scientific Method is….if the probability of something being True is high enough….then we can assume it is True and see what progress in research we can make with it….If progress is made…and a lot of it…then this adds to the probability of the hypothesis made at the beginning being True….We also have a new way of conducting experiments that relies in a truly magnificent way…. upon interdisciplinary thinking and sometimes incorporating discarded alchemic approaches…..

Let us show how this is done.

First, let us review what we know about atoms…and the possibility of their possessing Consciousness….

Atoms and Consciousness

Fifteen years ago I first considered the idea…that every atom might possess Consciousness…This hypothesis proceeds directly from our new Science of Everything…

Our Science of Everything…It now has been proven that humans are animals…Yes…and we even know the type of animal we are…This has been proven conclusively with the delineation of human DNA and comparison of it with that of the Great Apes…We are…an exotic type of chimpanzee…our DNA is 99.3 percent the same as those friendly beings…I know we were all hoping for something a little more commanding of respect….like a gorilla or something…but no….Nevertheless, we are indeed animals…and now much work must be done…We need to construct our social sciences again….from the ground up….they all must be placed on a biological base… We have already progressed far in this endeavor….Also a new Cosmic theology is being developed to place humanity in the same Cosmic sphere as… not only other animals…but all other matter, as well….

For you see…once we start reconsidering things in the Light of our new Science…then the first thing that is apparent is….that each one of us….is ‘looking out’…..and now for the first time, we are unable to merely accept this phenomenon as a Truth that needs no further examination….No….Our ‘looking out’ is empirical knowledge….it may not be measurable but with our new Scientific method….such verification is no longer necessary….We are ‘looking out’…and this is a Truth…in fact it is Magic!…Magic that such a thing can be happening every day…every second we are awake…also Magic in that every other Living thing seems to be experiencing the same thing…each Living organism seems to be ‘looking out’…each one thinks, well, maybe not Conscious of every complete implication….but each operates as if it were the ‘center’ of the universe…

Okay…so, as I say…atoms possess Consciousness….How did I get to such a hypothesis? Well, this was how my thinking proceeded…

If we accept our perception of things as being valid empirical evidence….then a valid first step…a first hypothesis can be…. that there is something in our brains ‘looking out’…and this thing may be ..well, we know from physics that everything in the Cosmos is composed of particles…so whatever is ‘looking out’ must be a particle of some sort…that is, some sort of I particle..

So the first guess would be…well, ‘Let There Be Light!’…It might be a photon…

Well, good try, but a photon simply could not have enough ability to perceive, think, and act…or have a small memory attached to it…No, a better guess would be… that it is an atom…with quarks…with enough component parts to do stuff…

Still…why haven’t we noticed atoms doing stuff like this?…Well, the fact is…if you take a standard chemistry book…and read it from the back to the front..not in the normal way which just emphasizes the need for a student’s memorization of a million isolated facts…in a mildly comprehensible way…somehow reading things in reverse…causes evidence of Consciousness operating in these matters to leap to the eye…So sometimes evidence is right before our eyes…and we are not allowed to notice it….

The thing is…scientists are not supposed to think in this way…Matter that is not animal…simply is not allowed to possess….Will!…Intention!

And it is even worse…Animals which are not human…are not allowed to exhibit or be seen to exhibit human sort of perception, thought, or action.

To say all Life possesses certain abilities flirts with the dangers…of anthropomorphism….. Universities are in control here…New ideas are tightly under their rein….That is why great strides at least for the moment are promised mostly…by Clusters of people….like you…. working outside of the existing system….perhaps accelerating research thousands of times….Oh, yes, there will be kranks…but for the first time…unconventional ideas ..may be considered…

In addition to the concerns cited above…there is another reason why atoms haven’t been caught in the act of ‘thinking’ before…

Because most of time we are considering them…they are surrounded by electrons….which reduces their ability to interact with the world…

Other reasons are… as I have said….atoms are simply too small for our instruments…. Light is simply too fast to be examined properly….These things are a problem…as measurement is a key to scientific method nowadays… Whatever is measured is…Truth…

Well, as I say….now…there is another way…Now with our new Science of Everything…we have at hand many disciplines to address questions,.. problems…Once we place the social sciences on a biological base…using the same methodologies, and speaking the same language as the physical and biological sciences…then we suddenly have many disciplines which can examine the world and human behavior from a multitude of angles….They can talk to each other, work with each other…and where instruments are failing…they can increase the probability…of a hypothesis….being True…

We have a new Scientific Method which looks at things from several angles at once…by means of several disciplines at once…and we will receive a probability of a hypothesis being True…The goal is to reach a probability as close to 100 percent as possible…

In addition to a new Scientific Method, we also have a new way of conducting experiments…. For example, one way we tested the probability of Darwinism being 100 percent True was looking at James Joyce in his books wherein he attempted to use the principles of alchemy….that is, he utilized randomness to evoke the equivalent of gold in literary attainment….which obviously did not happen …or taking the alchemic color theories of Goethe… I related them to music theory to show that the use of those ideas of randomness also did not yield gold….Well, this should not be a surprise…Mathematically, randomness simply does not converge….which eliminates the possibility of mutations and randomness as being the sole source of variation in Life….Consciousness simply must be involved for miracles to occur.

So back to exactly which sort of Conscious entity created Life. To continue our previous thinking…Which sort of atom would be able to be stripped of its electrons the easiest?…An atom’s Consciousness would thereby be ‘revealed’ and the nucleus would be able to impact the world around it… Well, obviously…. a hydrogen atom could be relieved of its electron….the easiest….Well, there is only one….

Hmmm…a hydrogen ion…immediately other thoughts come to mind… Where in science…in biology do we encounter streams of hydrogen ions?…

Well, of course, photosynthesis!…

Right here…purely by accident…as we shall see… we have encountered a ‘relic’ left from the first moments…in the Creation of Life!….In fact, the existence of this artifact….by itself…. suddenly renders our hypothesis a high probability of being True!

So, it appears that photosynthesis is a relic from the past…showing by example the process by which Life was originally assembled….How is this True?…Well, first of all there were a lot of hydrogen ions moving about…3 billion years ago…Why is this?…Well, the atmosphere was mostly carbon dioxide…back then…And when carbon dioxide was dissolved in water….yes, there was an ocean of water in which things could be done…well, the following reaction occurred….

CO2 + H2O = H+ + HCO3

Bang!..there you have a lot of hydrogen ions right there…right away!…

And then the next step…which will appear to be…too much repeating of myself….because all of these things were reinforcing… I mean, these tiny little ions are taking the same things…and doing things a tiny bit differently…and Pow!…

` Witness! Hydrogen ions at the beginning…again… took water…yes, there was a lot of this…..and…again… CO2…;lots of that….They added Energy….well, from Light…lots of that, too…or maybe using electrons that ions always seem to have at hand…so lots of those….and Pow!…water plus carbon dioxide plus energy…equals….

Sugar….

Sugar?

Wahoo!!!….?

Yes,…this is a bit anticlimatical….Sugar?

But the fact is…all forms of Life rose from a common ancestor….Well, there were those hydrogen ions….In a way they were the first…common ancestor…I mean….they were aLive….in the way they switched back and forth from a group of atoms which were ‘revealed’ and then not ‘revealed’…

But quickly Life manifested itself as something else…as molecules of Sugar…with a little this…and/or that…added to it…This is True! So not only is all Life related to this crucial first step…all of Life is composed of this crucial first step!….

Which means all sorts of amazing things…like… well, first of all …that every bit of Life is subject to the same Laws of physics and chemistry…. This is why scientists are amazed by the fact…..that biochemistry is such an intellectually coherent and Beautiful discipline….for underneath…lies a basic unity of Life.

Don’t tell anybody…but that basic Unity lies with… Sugar!…

Also, second… all of Life was created in the same way…and is still being Created in the same way…today!…and run by the same entities!…by crowds, clouds of hydrogen ions!…I mean…. hydrogen ions have not only been involved constantly…from the Beginning… in the process of Creating…and reCreating Life….But they are in fact…. in charge today!…running the machinery…in every piece of throbbing Life that you see!

Yes…hydrogen ions have been constantly at work…from the very first stirrings…of Life!

Just look! You can see…what they have done! In the very last pages of an organic chemistry book…there is always a long list of the molecules that you will encounter as you read through this book backwards… a kind of summing up…to help you memorize a bunch of names that probably don’t mean much to you…Well, there are hundreds of molecules utilized in the building up of Life… built by hydrogen ions! 100 of these molecules have remained the same…for 2 billion years!…they are in every little bit of Life…and as I say….there are a hundred names given to all these molecules of Life…a nightmare of burning the midnight oil… learning all of these names! But the amazing fact is…and really!…organic chemists could really make all of this much easier….to learn…to understand….Because the fact is…Right there…before your eyes…All… of these molecules are really…Sugar!….with a little this or that added to it…Yes, every single molecule of Life is this way…oil..beeswax.. Colgate white teeth!…Well, living cells just beneath teeth composed of sugar…secrete the minerals that teeth are made of……

So just forget all those fancy names….The story of Life…is really a story…about Creating…a small dictionary’s worth of different kinds…of Sugar….Sugar is… the essence….the fabric….of Life!…

So why this reliance upon Sugar?…. Well, first off…one result …was that organic chemistry would be dominated by carbon…that is, it would be a science that is dominated by molecules containing chains of C-C bonds… Carbon forms a wide variety of stable compounds containing chains of strong C-C single bonds…Also…carbon atoms are like Tinker Toys….which are easily hooked and unhooked….Also these bonds can be made double, triple…they can be made to enclose a tremendous amount of….potential Power!….

So what did these hard working ions do…with these powerful Tinker Toys?

Well, these ions were flashing back and forth from Life to non-Life…from being able to do stuff to not being able to do stuff….When they got rid of those electrons shielding them from the outside world….when they returned to a building capability… .they needed three things…

Well, first they had to have memory….What were they doing….the last time they were ‘revealed’?….where were they working?…. for what purpose…were the first things built.?.. This first memory…was a crude form of RNA…

Second, they needed a way to store energy close at hand….sugar is an ideal molecule for that purpose…

Third, they needed to create structures…of some type…perhaps with no definite objective or goal in mind when they began…but something concrete had to remain onto which more things could be added…and would remain semi-permanent in a great ocean…Sugar could serve this purpose…

As I say…it now seems certain that hydrogen ions were very active at some point and did in fact create all of Life …from the bottom up….but it is also obvious that these important steps must have occurred long ago…in a very different environment…namely a place where lots and lots of water existed….maybe not in ocean depths..but at least in tide pools where millions of experiments could take place…successful varieties could survive…and millions of mistakes could simply….be washed away….In addition, ocean water is filled with countless ions…there were ionic water molecules…. enriched and empowered with ionic salt….that is, sodium chloride…in which communication among hydrogen ions would have been facilitated….Water surrounds the charged groups and attenuates their interaction…The existence of Life depends critically on the capacity of water to dissolve a remarkable array of polar molecules that serve as fuels, building blocks, catalysts, and information carriers,….High concentrations of these polar molecules can coexist in water, where they are free to diffuse and find each other…. However, the excellence of water as a solvent poses a problem, for it also weakens interactions between certain molecules….biological systems have solved this problem by creating water-free micro-environments where certain atomic and molecular interactions can have maximal strength and specificity. Thus, one of the first things that hydrogen ions built with their sugar…some of the first structures…were lipids…that is, one of the first things that hydrogen ions built were….tiny globes of Life… Cells!…enclosed in Sugar walls….A million experiments were conducted simultaneously within these tiny spheres…Life could take off….in several directions at once…..

When we are talking about the first billion years of the emergence of Life…we are talking about immense construction going on somewhere….an enterprise equally as impressive as Egyptians building pyramids…with the requirement for an equal amount of energy, planning, organization of laborers and materials…. and leadership.

Let us picture how corporations of such atomic engineers might have conducted their work.

Crowds, Clouds of Hydrogen Ions…at Work!

So here we go…we are really addressing the first Emergence of Life!…. with crowds, clouds of hydrogen ions working together to build something of their own….We really should not be surprised by any of this… as they are doing all this before our eyes…every day…right now… if only we were looking for this…if only we were listening….properly….

Why would they do any of this?…Were they not happy the way they were?…And why were they Created with potential to do such things….in the first place?…

Okay, as I say… this is not a pipe dream!…I am 99.99 percent certain what I am saying is True…The first thing is…we have to realize that none of this is really new….That is, atoms have always been doing something….more than what chemists think they do….What I mean is this…Nine-nine percent of all atoms in the Cosmos…are hydrogen and helium ions….That is right!… Only 1 percent of all atoms comprise the rest of the elements on the chemistry periodic table of elements….What this means is…the Earth…is an anomaly…. It also means that most matter is composed of atoms stripped of electrons…such that their nuclei are ‘revealed’…that is, there is no electron cloud to wall them off…shield them… from the world around them… Hydrogen and helium ions are accustomed to talking together, interacting together….doing things together…Well, mostly blowing themselves up!…But obviously they do have the Power to impact things….perhaps even make, build things…and they certainly know how to communicate continually…with each other….they have done this…from the Beginning…from the first miicro-instants after the Big Bang….

And hydrogen doesn’t even have to be an ion, really…to participate in communication….When hydrogen is in a bond with any other atom…the electrons whirling about both…are always moving more…around the other nucleus…This means that hydrogen is always a bit ‘revealed….It is always eable to communicate with the outside, external world…So a scientist would say….this causes an atom like flourine to have a slight excess of negative charge…when bonded with hydrogen…leaving the hydrogen atom partially positive….No! It does more than that!…It leaves the hydrogen atom only partially shielded…. Hydrogen atoms thus seem to be always able to communicate with the world about them…and if they are completely stripped of electrons…they can…Pow!…Impact!…the world!….

So 100 molecules are essential to Life…they have existed for 2 billion years…all Life possesses them…other things have been added and can still be added…Phenomena that have been active in the past…are still active today… Other changes are being made all the time…but the chances of something viable resulting now…utilizing those first 100 molecules…is very high…The thing is…obviously there was a time when a million mistakes had to be endured somehow…all at once…without messing things up…There is an important point to be stressed here…this is not the product of an entirely random process…there is consciousness actively involved in this Creative process….Random mutations were not the only source for innovation…things were deliberately tried…there was….Consciousness….operating continually…. but still…there had to be a way for a million things to be tried and a million minus one or two things… be aborted and swept away… leaving only viable things…better things…. behind…These precious end products could be the result of the Darwinian survival of the fittest process…in a certain environment…but the mistakes had to die and be swept away somehow…I mean, if randomness were the only hope for change in the creation of Life…then there would be a billion mistakes in each organism today…instead what we see in an organism today is…there may be mistakes here and there like a cleft in a lip…too many freckles…but not a billion mistakes….

What seems to have happened is that for a billion years…these little hydrogen ions worked with RNA… well, precursors to that marvelous memory molecule…made cells…as we have noted…using walls made out of Sugar…made changes which resulted in globular cells with experiments within them…each cell had a chance of surviving…but there was a timing mechanism, a certain time within which a cell had a chance to prove itself worthy….if it survived then the cell survived…it it did not…the cell disintegrated and was washed away by an immense ocean…as I say…this is a mechanism which could perform one million experiments at once…..so a lot of things could happen… continually….and a lot of new things could happen…continually….for experiments to be made….for Life…to adjust to a changing environment….After a billion years of Life….then things stabilized….

The question remaining is how this experimentation stage was managed…it obviously was conducted by committees, ..corporations of ions…..perhaps as big as a government….Just look at one of these humungus molecules that hydrogen ions made….It would seem…that almost too many sugar molecules…well, amino acids…were simply glommed…. together….As I have said…there had to be overall coordination somehow…what was the objective in all this…why did it occur?…were nuclei bored or something…why weren’t they content to exist in certain molecules forever?…. Perhaps nuclei were just made to be active…since most spend their existence in stars and nebulae as ions that can produce action and can communicate with each other…most atoms in the Cosmos are active…always talking to each other and blowing up and stuff….as I say, only one percent of nuclei were in these new boring molecules on earth….they just had to have some excitement…so…they created Life!…

So during the first billion years of Life…there were a million experiments… Only a few survived…which were able to do the job… The rest were washed away in the immense ocean..leaving no archaeological evidence…Hey..look at this!…In the development of Life…hydrogen ions created new molecules in a way that is mimicked…as we shall see… in the way many languages have been developed…in various times and places… in the past….

What we are talking about here fpr the next few paragraphs…is the first level of aggregation performed by hydrogen ions…in Creating Life…In this first level…hydrogen ions sequenced amino acids…And they seem to have done this in a certain way….That is, they Created small differences in stringing amino acids together…and these small differences…somehow resulted in vastly different functions….

Which calls to mind how human language was formed in its first phases….For instance, take the Hindi and Urdu languages…these languages display long lists of words with almost the same letters with permutation types of shuffling which mean completely different things…These obviously evolved from an oral creation of language…

Like…you might start with one sound for the word ‘home’… ‘ummpha’…then a ‘chair’ in the home …’ummphakoh’… a ‘fireplace’ in the home… ‘ummphahey’…a ‘table’ in the home… ‘ummphahah’… and so on… When it is finally written out… it looks stupid and difficult to remember…but only when it is written down…only after written language appeared…does this approach seem to be stupid….That is, things seem stupid…only when a whole different process for developing languages….appears…one based on writing! As I say…at first, the development of language was primarily an oral phenomenon… and the phenomenon of hydrogen ions…working with RNA was similar…in its method….as it developed many organic molecules …all which were variants of sugar…with this little difference and then that one…Thus, there seems to be similarities in how Consciousness has built these two different things…language, orally…. and Life, organically!…

Then Came Organisms!

Yes!…And all of this Life is made…of Sugar!

As I say…we chide social scientists for using jargon which obfuscates and hinders interdisciplinary work….yet organic chemistry exhibits the same tendencies….

Yes, there are hundreds of names for organic molecules…but in the rush to give impressively sounding names to each and every piece of Life…

scientists have lost the fact that the origin for all of them…is the same…

Water plus Carbon Dioxide…add Energy….yields Sugar!…and every organic molecule is indeed a Sugar basic starting block with a little this or that… added along with perhaps some double and triple bonding….Sugars embellished with extra carbon and hydrogen units were the thing… for one billion years…then came amino acids… which added things like phosphorous and nitrogen to the sweet confections….Amino acids became the building blocks of a whole new level of biological behavior….larger blocks of Sugars now with new things added…became larger new blocks to build with…they became proteins…

Which allowed the rise of organisms! Ultimately proteins began to play crucial roles in nearly all biological processes…in catalysis, transport, coordinated motion, excitability, and control of growth and differentiation… all of this came from the folding of proteins into many distinctive three-dimensional structures that could bind highly diverse molecules…

Now, biology became more durable and could become aggressive in combining individual cells into more and more massive aggregations…with hydrogen ions…that is… Is…in charge….

Sugar packets with one I…in charge..is the definition of an organism….

Packets of memory made almost exclusively of Sugar now acquired bases…These memory molecules became longer and longer… now buttressed with the new elements of phosphorus and nitrogen…along with these bases…Well, eventually the hydrogen ions….after thousands of years of hard work…formed the RNA and DNA molecules….that we know…and Love… today….

As we have said…organic molecules now had three levels in the Living mass…

In the last few paragraphs we have been looking at that first level. We have traced how sequences of amino acids were strung together… as crowds of hydrogen ions worked within cells…right in the memory bank…which became a sort of three dimensional Xerox…The Is at work…could add new units to the RNA…which were translated directly into new molecules and then they would sit back and see if the new bits of Life could survive… Working in the vicinity of a precursor to RNA….hydrogen ions could experiment with various changes in the structure of molecules created…and simultaneously record the changes in memory….Carbon bonds could be easily separated and connected…using the code in the memory….Often stretches of RNA could be merely repeated several times…as part of simple experiments.

This code thing…seems a bit strange…a bit too abstract for tiny entities like hydrogen ions to be dealing with…I mean, ribosomes seem to read four bases in the DNA at a time….four different bases gives you a permutation possibility of 24 different amino acids that can be encoded…Actually there are only 20 amino acids…but you get the idea…..This still seems a bit abstract for things like ions to be dealing with…..

What scientists forget is that all particles…and molecules…possess… Waves!…Electro-magnetic communication is transmitted from and received by….all atoms and molecules… they do this…when they are ions…they do this…when they are molecules which contain…ions….or acids and bases….Consequently, if a molecule like a ribosome could read a code in RNA…using it as a recipe for placing amino acids in a proper sequence…then it could construct a certain protein…So how does a ribosome do its work? The ribosome does not have to ‘look’ at four bases in the RNA and ‘think’ well, this is the code for a certain type of amino acid…every type of which is close at hand to attach to a growing protein… No…a ribosome can be ‘listening’….to how four bases are orchestrated by means of their Waves…. ‘playing’ together….The amalgam of Waves then can register a response in the ribosome…the code is read in this way…and amino acids are grabbed one by one… and attached to the growing proteins….

So where were we?…As I say…for paragraphs now…we have been looking at how hydrogen ions assembled the first level of Life….

Then a second level appeared…a box of protein blocks could now be assembled into larger complexes….Amino acids… strung like beads in a necklace… were then woven into three dimensional sheets with folds…to provide surfaces… or helixes that could provide support for large molecules….Again… at this stage… almost any cell they fabricated had enough proven parts to survive… without having a million mistakes…

Then a third level appeared…sheets and helixes were folded into large molecules….into large three dimensional masses….

Over and over again…these hydrogen ions repeated these three steps…. trying different patterns until something worked…..Scientists chant the matra…’Shape determines Function’….when the reality is…was…from the first…a Darwinian call to arms… Yes!…actually from the first….the reverse was True…Function…that is the ability to contribute to survival… in a certain environment….determined the final Shape of a molecule…

Hydrogen Ions and Communication

How do hydrogen ions understand what is happening when they are working with carbon and oxygen and other atoms?….when they are working together…to assemble sugars, adding this and that… to finally make proteins?… Well, as I say….it seems that ions can talk to each other…as they must do constantly…in great stars and nebulae…However, there is another thing…In addition, it seems to be that the molecules they are working on… assembling….experimenting with….can ‘talk’ right back to them….All of this communication helps assure…that target landing places are identified…such that proper connections might be made….

As I said…ocean water was essential to the hydrogen ions ability to communicate with each other and with molecules they were working on…as they assembled Life…for Napoleon ions to command millions of other ions in this building process…As I said…Salt is tremendously soluble in water….the two ionic solutions work together in ocean water..to form a powerful communication medium which hydrogen ions could utilize in their molecule building….Yes…NaCl and H2O…are both ionic materials and liquids when in sollute…only a tiny bit is NaCl in the ocean…only about 3 percent…yet enough to tend to keep all ions more at a distance allowing Waves of electro-magnetic energy to form patterns and move….thus providing a powerful communication medium that hydrogen ions could utilize to make molecules…

I got this sort of idea from my study of the human nervous system and how nerves communicate…how nerves move messages from areas of perception to the I…..It is my hypothesis that the Ca and Na ions in neurons….do not communicate information themselves by moving charges on and off like a Morse code…this is the current thought….which is unlikely…since thought is instantaneous and a type of Morse code would take many minutes to communicate very little…

Instead… I hypothesize that ions move…in confined spaces… which generates Waves which fill a corridor which are located next to the wall all around a nerve…Within this space between the inside of the nerve and wall, Waves reside and entangle… allowing messages to be swept from one side of the brain to the other in an instant…The Waves do all the work…ions are involved only indirectly…but this would prove that atoms with electron shells…. that is, even atoms which are not completely ‘revealed’ ….even though they may not be able to impact the world about them…they can participate Powerfully….in communication among atoms…

So this would mean that all communication…is two way!….Ions are in charge….but those ions that exist in the modified sugars that hydrogen ions are assembling…all those ions in the molecules that the ions are working on…can communicate right back!…telling the ions what is there, what is needed, what is being done by the molecule, what could be done…all sorts of information…

So, yes…it does seem that structure…that is, three dimensional configuration …. is a key to making molecules work…It also seems….that ionic communication is also important in protein assemblage and activity…. the interior of large molecules can be participating in the transmission of information among different binding sites….In this way particles and molecules can be in constant communication… They always seem to be working well together…Thus, proteins as a class of macro-molecules are unique in being able to recognize and interact with highly diverse molecules…

Yes, I maintain…that electrons ‘see’…they ‘feel’….nuclei ‘pull’….Concepts that in the past…. have been confined within parentheses….. I say now…. Come out now!….Come ‘out of the closet’!….There is an army…of Is…yelling at each other…working constantly together…all around us….Somehow we have been oblivious…to all of this….

Which takes us to another level of intellectual discovery!….There must be a Cosmic language that all matter innately shares!….perhaps this Cosmic Creation…..secretly….. lies at the base of all human…no, every animal… utterance…..

And as I have said…Sugar is what gets us there…well, here…Sugar is...exactly….how we got here….Because of that…this… fact….as I say, it is a fact that all of Life has been made of exactly one thing from Beginning….to this place in Cosmic history…. regardless of all the names…given to them fondly by scientists who think that they…are in control!…Kings working with stupid little pieces of dust…..names such as…cholesterol, vitamin D3, cortisol, testosterone, progesterone, estradiol, ethynodiol diacetate, and cholic acid….these eight molecules are indispensable to Life…now given such elegant names….Yet, come on now…they are all Sugar! Yep…we think of jargon as language that the social sciences use to distinguish themselves and elevate themselves up from crummy second rate disciplines up towards those great sciences in the Sky….of physics, biology, and chemistry….Yet chemistry has its obfuscating words, too…obfuscating because these words while we hear them all the time, and we think that the molecules they refer to… somehow appeared Magically in the evolution of Life…well, there is fact among the Magic…here…The fact is… that these are all Sugar…three and 5/6 hexagons of Sugar attached to each other…exactly the same!!!!! except for a little thing here…or there…it is obvious that something is taking one thing and just trying to see what a minor addition can do… attached here or there…and right there and here…There is regret here…there is tragedy here…You can see that all of Life…as I have said…is Sugar… with additions…..with meaning.. with activity which has been missed….astonishing behavior of microscopic bits of Consciousness…building a world of Life…that has reached far above, beyond them….All of this magnificent Magic….all of this Creation…all of this communication!,,,has been lost…in a mass…of elegant scientific…. jargon…

Building the Future…with Both Sides of the Brain

So we have presented here a hypothesis for how Life was Created.

As I say…many scientists have devoted their lives to this pursuit….with little progress. How can we have made so much progress in so little time?

Well, first we needed to Create new tools….Well, actually I have been working on a Synthesis that has yielded these hypotheses since 1966…for 55 years!…. so it did not happen over night….It started with a 7 page paper I submitted in a philosophy class…that astonishingly led directly to the development of new tools to work with…

What started everything…. was a paper on Hegel….The paper showed how Hegel had taken the ideas of eight different philosophers and integrated their thought… He did not ask the question as to which of these philosophers were right and which were wrong…Instead Hegel assumed that each philosopher was a genius and each viewed the world through the perspective of a faculty that was most highly developed in his mind….Thus, if one were to place the philosophies of these men in the proper order…one would have a picture of how ideas are created by the mind….

With the help of Dr. Henry Wan in the economics department at U.C. Davis…I came to understand what we were actually saying here…was that Hegel was looking at the brain…from the ‘inside out’…that is, with this paper….philosophy had collapsed into physiology…That is, philosophy which is a humanity…became part of biology. If this was the case…then of course the next step was that all the social sciences must be reworked…and placed on a biological base….When the social sciences are reworked in this way…then the social sciences cease to be a powerless, Mickey Mouse group of disciplines…they now gain Power..and are able to begin to communicate and work with the other sciences….the physical and biological sciences…All of these disciplines can now work together…in one great Science of Everything… to solve the great problems and challenges of our time…like Cancer…and how to make circuit boards even smaller…I began all of this work with my book…Man and the Cosmos…The Science of Everything...the first draft of which was written in the 1970s.

Thus, if one is to address the Creation of Life…one must have tools that most Universities do not have today….

Second…if we are going to be able to Build a great Future…we need something else…besides new Powerful tools….We will need to be able to receive contributions to science…new ideas…new hypotheses….from people who have dominance in the right side of the brain….While every person seems to be an expert on right-left hemispheric dominance in the brain….the reality is….I am one of the few who really knows what it means to be right hemispheric dominant….The ability to build a Powerful Synthesis in one’s brain is essential to addressing a question like the emergence of Life……Building the Future for Man- and Womankind…will require Creative work done with Power Syntheses…such as these… The fact is….Universities simply do not have many people with this ability… an ability that is possessed only by people who are right hemispheric dominant in their brains…..

Third…one has to be able to hypothesize things that simply are not allowed in University work today….If one has a powerful Synthetic ability,

and is able to utilize new Powerful new tools…like utilizing several of the disciplines in the Science of Everything in the formulation of hypotheses…. then one will realize early on….that when one ‘looks out’ upon the world…this perception is…empirical evidence….and that it must, as I have said… be the work of a hydrogen ion in our brains…Thus, it must be that every atom possesses Consciousness….Matter…possesses ‘Intention’….

Hypotheses such as these…are simply not allowed in University work today…Without this hypothesis, the search for how Life was formed…simply stops….

When one does have the ability called for and is able to make the correct assumptions… Well, then there is a lot of low hanging fruit….one can make progress in every direction…in a relatively short period of time…it would seem….simply because this work has been unable to be done…in the past.

So….as we are in this way emPowered…let us elaborate upon our thinking a little more…Let us move into our ‘Tesla’ mode.

I am just going to touch of a few things here…However….they are of the utmost importance….

When I wrote my first book…Man and the Cosmos…The Science of Everything.…I received only two positive responses out of 200 submittals to publishing companies….One was from Lawrence Ferlinghetti…the Beat…the other was from Mr. Ken McCormick, the editor in chief of Doubleday….Both of these men…. made it clear from the beginning….that they were there for emotional support…. for the duration!….Mr. Ferlinghetti died this past year….Mr. McCormick was very old when I submitted Whence the Tulufulu to him after he retired during the 1990s…..Both of these men made it clear from the beginning that…this was not about me…it was about the ideas….the ideas were sacred…worth the continued fight to develop them..worth the continual fight to get the ideas ‘out there’…not for profit necessarily….but because they knew that the world would need help…from ideas like these…. in the near Future…..

So let me jump to the important things…The moment I understood that every atom possessed Consciousness…I knew I had to develop a Cosmic theology…Well, much work had already been done by shamans 60,000 years ago…I know, we are in a modern age now…we are supposed to move past stupid ideas and religions from the past…religions that call for us….to respect and Love Nature, and all that….The Reason we don’t respect ideas like these is that we are caught in a world full of things, full of human Power,…. We are just too damn smart for animist ideas….for rocks to be full of Is….

So one thing we must realize right now…is that when we say every atom possesses an I...then we must realize…that every piece of Dust…is Sacred….

I know I sound like one of those crazed Lovers of Nature from the past….Lovers of the Old Way…and all of that…smoking my peyote or something…

I…. just picture Nikola Tesla…on a mountain top…..with electricity bolting out of his body…..like some crazed scientist…with every person around him afraid for his Life..

He was at home with Nature…He knew that he, we…are One with every piece of earth and sky around us….

When we turn on a popcorn popper….electricity flows…We are just beginning to understand what it means to say….that Everything is Energy…

Everything is composed…of Energy….All Energy possesses Consciousness… in all of its Forms….a flow of current is a River…of Is….

Immediately there is Demand…for Respect here!….Every time we turn on a Light…Consciousness…is there…is here!

So what do we do next?…As I have said…one reason that scientists are reluctant to postulate that matter may possess Consciousness is that instruments simply do not pick this up easily…this is obviously why in the past…for a Cosmic level higher…smaller?… than what humans can perceive…religion has been written to explain things…

Well, we are no longer Living in the Middle Ages…..Chemistry has come a long way, Baby!…Still…at this point…Chemistry simply does not consider the possibility of atomic Consciousness… So imagine that we had our way….Exactly how would we change things?….In a chemistry book written in our new way…how would we explain how Consciousness contributes to chemical interaction?…We would change words and emphasis…There would no longer be chemical ‘reactions’ in our book….Today students are taught that materials just react spontaneously with each other. In our book, materials would not simply collide…they would talk to each other….theywould jump towards each other… Now there ….is action and excitement!!!..Now there …is chemical interaction ….Now there…is a hypothesis…wherein Consciousness is able to utilize Will and Connection to create structure!…Right there...Chemistry has lost passive ‘reaction’…… Now there… are little gods at work!…Now there... is intention!…At the present time… scientists are interested in concentrations of various chemicals… because in such liquids in which molecules are close together…collisions may occur…and in the old conception of things…passive collision among molecules in concentrations was at the Heart of chemical reaction…

Now…at the Heart of chemical interaction….in our book..would be…. Intention!….Communication!… Connection!…..Power!…..

Also..in chemistry books today… the story is solely about electrons… where is the I in all of this?

Sorry..Chemists are simply not interested in nuclei of atoms…

This is obviously a mistake,…The nucleus possesses an I which makes everything happen!….

See how the right side of the brain works here?…It is obvious that University work has not suffered the experience of working with very many such people as I…in the past…A large part of this book is untold….and could be in the bibliography….Why is this?…Well, in the brain of a right hemispheric person… there is a Synthesis…This Synthesis possesses great Power! And it is only so big…only things that are conceptually related to the other are allowed in it…and every thought a right hemispheric dominant person possesses is… in…this Synthesis…and every thought he or she expresses must be expressed in Light of this Synthesis…So …you notice I always say something like ‘So…’ never ‘Therefore’…my ability is not that of deduction and analysis….it is the art of history and philosophy…the art…of story telling…So…that is what an expanded bibliography would be about…it would be composed of those parts of my Synthesis that are related to the topic at hand…but are hidden in this exposition…They were as important to the development of the ideas in this minibook..as what is being presented…..Obviously including everything would add Power to this presentation…In this way, this book would become a historical document… But of course…what happens..is…that too much of that kind of stuff… can get in the way of the story at hand….One can sympathize with that great story teller…Hegel…when it came time to tell people what was on his mind…he simply saw no choice…he simply had to tell them… Everything!…all at once…all in one place….God bless him…We all have headaches….because of him…

Let us go on a little right hemispheric adventure here…just to see how that side of the brain can take the ball…and run with it….

Atoms…We think we know all about them…a small sun, the nucleus… with orbits of electrons around it…which is baloney…

There are shells of whirling electrons traveling so fast and sometimes so far…that they are like a fog with concentrations of activity here and there…We all know about steel…’Stalin’ in Russian means steel…alluding to a maniac who killed thousands of people…Yes, Steel…Strong but pliable…Although it is difficult to separate metal atoms, it is relatively easy to move them, provided the atoms stay in contact with each other….The simplest picture that explains these observations is the electron ‘sea’ model….which envisions a regular array of metal cations in a ‘sea’ of valence electrons the mobile electrons can conduct heat and electricity… and the metal ions can be easily moved around as the metal is hammered into a sheet or pulled into a wire.

A related model that gives a more detailed view of the electron energies and motions is the band model, or molecular orbital model, for metals. In this model, well, some electrons in a metal move around atomic nuclei…however, others…move quite differently…They seem to be traveling around inside the metal crystal…. in molecular orbits… formed from the electrons whirling around in the valence atomic orbits…that is, in the outermost orbits of the metal atoms. So, what is happening is…that the molecule is forming electron orbits of its own!….When many metal atoms interact, as in a metal crystal, the large number of resulting molecular orbitals become more closely spaced and finally form a virtual continuum of levels, called bands….When an electric potential is placed across a strip of metal, for current to flow, electrons must be free to move…In the band model for metals, mobile electrons are furnished when electrons in filled molecular orbitals are excited into empty ones. These conduction electrons are free to travel throughout the metal crystal as dictated by the potential imposed on the metal. Thus, you are left with a picture of metal nuclei lying in a regular array….Are they not like ions floated in a sea of electrons that wash over … in, through the metal ions….

All of this is like Tesla’s vision of how atoms were first formed…the Cosmos was a sea of energy and atoms emerged as swirling tiny nodes of concentration in this Cosmic sea…

Just as in photosynthesis we have a relic left from when Life was initially formed…Again in a metallic lattice…we have a sort of relic… one step removed from the Origin…of the Cosmos….

Now we have spotted a couple of these relics…from the far past….how many others …are just sitting there…waiting…for the finding?….Perhaps Life is just itching…and quite capable of telling…how Magic in the past…was done.

We are building the Future….and you had better believe…it will take both sides of the brain….to do it!

Deciphering the Language…of the Cosmos

So Consciousness in every atom…must exist….because particles are incapable of moving information by themselves…information must move between particles… carried by waves in a sort of Cosmic language….Waves are Created by Consciousness…which must be translated….deciphered… if we strive to put…thinking ions to work….in a human Future….Hydrogen ions and electrons are kind of the same when it comes to charge… when it comes to generating waves which can move information….

An interesting question is…..electrons are used in computer chips to move data and communication… but they work with an ‘on and off’ code…why not just use the waves associated with the electrons…like the brain does with ions?…this would accelerate speeds thousands of times…

So in the end…the proof is in the pudding…No! The proof is in an experimental proof of some sort….We need some empirical evidence…to move the probability of all of this being True…from 99.99 percent…to 100 percent…

Well, how about this?…These ions are conversing!….They had to have been able to communicate well to have Created all that they have in the past….So how about this?….Why don’t we look for evidence of ionic communication….and listen…in?….After all, our major problem is that we have not the instruments to examine carefully atoms that are smaller than what microscopes can bring into view….However, each of these tiny entities have connected to them….an electro-magnetic field which is 10,000 times larger than the particle itself!…So let us examine these waves….Let us listen in…to what these tiny things are saying…We just must understand one stupendous thing…these fields are not just positive or negative….electrically on or off…magnetic or not…No…these are the counterpart of great power-grid power lines in terms of Energy…they are power-grid..gigantic radio transmitters..communicating by means of some sort of Cosmic language…Can we crack the code? This challenge must be met if we are to confront the Future…successfully! It is more important than the codes that we broke during World War II….This is a World War…against Time…We only have so many years to confront Global Warming…the need for Global Development…to build a Future…to build a Place in which we are able to Live…on this God forsaken planet!….

Conclusion

So how were we able to rapidly and directly address the question of how Life was created? After all, many others have devoted their entire lives to this pursuit with little progress….A great tool… is the Science of Everything which we have been able to develop….This Science was developed originally because I quickly saw that if the social sciences are placed on a biological base as they should be…well, humans are animals, after all…then all the sciences can ‘talk’ to each other…work together to find the Truth…and build the Future. ..

But actually the concept of a Science of Everything goes far beyond animalness…The fact is… there is consciousness in every bit of dust…This is what truly unites the Cosmos…this is what truly unites the disciplines into One Science…and ultimately will give us the Power to change the world….

Chemistry books tend to have dark, rich, profoundly deeply colored covers because inside reside the materials of the world…like dirt and gas….while organic chemistry books are orange, gay, full of Life as they should be…The Truth is… regular chemistry books are about more than dirt and gas…they are filled cover to cover with Magic… with Sun Light…They are filled from end to end with…Consciousness!!! This should be remembered by students as they plow through myriads of pages of minutiae to memorize…every one of these substances has the potential to communicate…. perhaps even move the world in its own way…Yes, nuclear explosions are very…too much…impressive…in their own way….Yet their importance lies with what they tell you about a potential all materials possess…Something Cosmic…Magical… always lies within an atom…that can be released to impress…to shake the world….if allowed to do so….in its own way…

Chemical interactions are more than mere reactions, bonding, the transferring of electrons….Atoms are more than passive pawns in a chess game played by the Forces of the Cosmos….These materials are gifted with a language of their own…They may be saying things…that can move the world!

Yes, J.J. Thomson deduced that all atoms must usually possess electrons…and they must by Nature be positive in charge….He missed one thing….all atoms possess Consciousness!….The history of chemistry has been like having a ‘special’ kid in your class…a kid with Down’s syndrome has eyes, hair…but there is a lack of empathy from the other kids in the class….Surely you cannot expect intelligence or personality from a ‘special’ kid….And of course they are surprised when they actually become friends with him or her….Well, atoms are the same…there is a lot there that has been overlooked….and the kid with Down’s syndrome…has formed a rock band! And all of this…because people simply have not bothered to ‘look’….Black people have been enslaved and not treated as humans at various times in history….Well, atoms and molecules have suffered the same fate…They are utilized and exploited in every way imaginable….and they….are…’looking out’!… The most important thing about them is never considered to exist…The fact is…all energy….possesses Consciousness…There are Is….in every bit of dust and Fire…in the Cosmos!…

Only Consciousness creates order….Entropy is the Law of the Cosmos….Order tends towards disorder…always…unless Intentionality is involved….Randomness cannot converge…this can be proved mathematically …We have shown that this is True… in our own empirical experimental way…on this site!…The Cosmos can only degrade without applications of Consciousness….

Scientists say that gravity is spontaneous…Scientists very often are ignoring causation… in their writings…..Explanations are seldom given for first causes….Gravity is not ‘just is’…It is …Intentionality!….Why do particles spread out to occupy a space evenly…There must be a Conscious reason… Take a container with a partition down the middle….red balls on one side, green on the other…When the partition is removed…They mix because they become less ordered… No!….They mix because maybe things become less weird and different….maybe they can communicate more easily…Things do not just happen spontaneously…something is driving, moving… everything!

Scientists pronounce that .Nature spontaneously proceeds towards the states that have the highest probabilities of existing….That is…analysis, deduction…that is, mathematics… is the cause of everything…which drives everything…Perhaps… but what is doing the deducing and analyzing? What is conducting the probability tests?….The Truth is…mathematics… does not drive anything…We must get closer to first causes…which reside with Magic…The I.… Consciousness has driven everything from the Big Bang on….There is a physical Conscious reason for everything…A chemistry book talks about ‘driving’ forces…What does this book say…is doing the driving? It would seem that the book thinks that randomness, probability, mathematics are somehow driving everything…..Or stuff….just happens….Nature just likes to do certain things…as long as we can control something well enough to get what we need done done…then who cares about first causes….Things just happen…and we reap the profits!

The problem is…. that we have been doing too much reaping…too much raping…and so now… we are running out of resources…we are losing habitable places…We need to start afresh!…We need to start using things that are plentiful…The most plentiful things are very small and our instruments cannot interact with then….We need a different Science to deal with things that are necessary for a successful Future for man and woman….

Let us imagine what we might do…with such a new and Powerful Science!…

Witness! Here is something our Science can do!

When a new compound that will come in contact with humans is synthesized …the compound’s safety must be tested. Currently, this is done with expensive bacterial or animal tests. However, computers are now being introduced to screen new compounds… to detect those which are likely to be toxic in some way…

` Sounds great…computers are Powerful!

But Stop!….Right There!…Here is a really new way…of doing things….

There is an entity in each cell which does the same thing as that hypothetical computer could do..but it is doing these things….right now…. every second….That thing is… a centrosome….Every particle that enters a cell is carried on a filament to the centrosome….where something identifies the particle….This identification…is a type of perception….This entity then thinks…no quotation marks!….decides what to do with this bit of matter…and then acts…sends it on its way to the proper destination….

I maintain…that there is a hydrogen ion in the centrosome that is perceiving, thinking, and acting…equipped with a small memory of tis own…

What if we learn to communicate with these ions…and instruct such an ion in the centrosome…thusly….If a particle is identified to be precancerous…then the particle must be destroyed…instantly!!…or the cell must be made to commit suicide…which would nip…Cancer in the bud!

Imagine what Power a computer chip might have…if at the Heart of it…lay one hydrogen ion!…that can perceive,think and act…equipped with a tiny memory of its own!

Darkness…97 percent of the Cosmos is in Darkness…composed… it would seem… of things like Dark Matter….and Dark Energy….perhaps great castles of thought and memory?…Now that we are working with these ions….now that we are concentrating on the real actors in the universe… maybe they will be able to tell us about the 97 percent of the Cosmos we know absolutely little about….Now the story told in this minibook becomes something different than what it promised…This story is more than about some ions doing stuff….The story we have told here…promises to be….the very ….Beginning…of a bright, new Future!

The next Industrial Revolution must utilize things…we cannot see. That’s right!…99 percent of all Life…is microscopic…all matter is built of atoms that instruments cannot examine well…It is in Darkness…as far as we…are concerned….They are in a place…that we are really not aware of…And it is in precisely this place…..that the raw materials, the Energy, the Magic that all matter possesses…can be found….must be found…. tapped, and utilized…if all people on this planet are…to be taken care of…

We are on a blue planet…floating in black Space….We are alone…

There is …no one else!…We must…learn to take care of each other…

and Build..the Future…Together!

THE END

‘I feel like a man astride two ages. The present is harsh, unbearable, cruel. The future is one of my highest hopes and greatest dreams. It is the dream that goads me onwards. Yet with that dream lies a danger. I am becoming acutely schizophrenic… actually exhibiting a multi-personality…. as I devote more and more of my life to that dream, to that fantasy. ‘Sometimes I find myself caught up in that magical crystal ball. I actually begin to believe sometimes that I am living in that far off age, that all is well… all problems have been solved. In reality the bulk of the work lies ahead and this fact plus the exigencies of the work goad me all the faster towards the fantasy.

‘However, I am a man firmly committed to my age, and to my mental health. For in fantasy there is no more joy than in a dream. Joy comes from creation, but creation must change and impact the external world. The dream of a future world can be one of two things. It can be my hope. It can be my escape. If it be the first, then hope is of value…as it calls forth the effort required to start building that world. Hope is a good place to start in a perplexed and caustic age. If it be the second, then drugs would have been the cheaper, more efficient escape… nay, suicide would have sped me towards the destination that road does lead.

‘I am a child of my age and the father of the next. And in the end I shall deny neither. My work is here and now and no burden shall I shirk. For the labors of the present, and only those labors, shall give birth to the future. In these labors I shall not be content to stand upon a large boulder and cry forth upon the multitudes. Such cries are rife today and most will quickly die as they reverberate through the vacuum of space.

‘Instead I must become a part of the world. I must be wed to the world. I must not be afraid of the world. For in the end, the world, society, culture with which I live… is the earth… is the soil from which my body didst spring. That world is my parent. It is my past, my Source. And I must live through that past, and shape, mold, lead, and move that past, an inch at a time towards the future. I must do this to preserve my dream, otherwise will it lose meaning and fall to dust, it will dissipate into fantasy and condemn me to isolation from life. I must do this to preserve my sanity and my species.

‘But what is the need for action? Is it not foreordained for these things to pass? When one considers man’s past and his basic nature, is not the dream, the beautifully perfect world I foresee, inevitable? If this world is inevitable, why then must I act?

‘Man is an animal bearing tools. He is an animal…creating tools…When one mentions man…with his tools…one is automatically assigning the appellation of ‘animal’ to him…Professor Leaky once proclaimed…with prescience…that man is an exotic sort of chimpanzee…who creates tools….So when one speaks concerning man’s tools…one is speaking to his animal nature.

‘Man creates tools for the work at hand. Tragically, he also bears tools for the work of yesterday. Ironically, many of the tools which once were valid…once were powerful… which in fact…did allow progress to a glorious present… now are these magnificent tools rigid…now are they prisons… which restrain. In this way…man is an historical animal… too often, too securely chained to a past of his own making.

‘Thus, it is…that man’s social tools…his institutions…need not be broken…and reassembled…These institutions are naturally declining in power…as automation moves industry away from human activity…Instead, a new tool must be formed…that can be operational in a new world of pervasive human creativity…a tool that can be valid for all climes…for all future times…replacing government bureaucracy, the corporation…and the university….or working in conjunction with remnants of what exists presently…Strangely, it appears that the institution…the pattern of organization which is valid for all times…is the primal band itself…as it seems that all existing institutions have evolved…have been developed from such bands at the beginning. Instead of going back anew…and building new institutions from scratch…utilizing such bands at the beginning…we may just skip that whole process…and just use the primitive band itself…without the added bureaucracy…to power us into the future…

‘As I say… machines soon will do most physical work…Man will be left with only work of the mind…that is, creative work…to do…and such work can not be scaled up…can not be made into billion dollar companies…In the future…small clusters of energy will do creative work…Like a primitive band…like a fraternity…they must be small…to be efficient….But there can be many of them…There can be a galaxy…of them… spread across a universe…of a world….Such a Cosmos on earth…will be powerful…increasing research thousands of times…creating…a world culture…a magnificence…that a species can be proud of….

‘So why are we in this present quandary? Why are obsolete, confining tools allowed to persist? Why cannot we move now confidently…towards a future that is obviously going to exist? The reasons are these: avarice, fear, complacency. The greedy man may keep the past if it feeds him surfeited… even if the good of society, which previously sanctioned the works, no longer is served. Fear of the new paralyzes many who might act. Complacency and sloth bind the rest. The worm which does not crawl forward flounders in its own excrement. The shark… master of the sea… which does not swim forward… drowns in it tracks.

‘The logic of tools points thus and so. But logic is a tool of man. And man must act, by means of other tools to implement that logic. And it will not be those with beads and flowers who build this new world. The man of the future must be at home with tools, he must embrace them. He may live apart from them eventually, but he will always be of them….for ideas are the first tools…before the more physical ones are made in an idea’s image… and the human world will become more and more idea oriented…Thomas Edison created a thousand inventions…they were physical things…The inventions of tomorrow will be mostly idea…until the last step…From now on….one will not just pick up physical things and create something new…in the future one will have to study and study before an idea which seems to have no relationship to anything practical will actually be found to help propel man and woman to the future.

‘So here’s to creativity…here is to the creation of tools…This is the fight I urge. Half of this…is an individual fight. It is each person learning all, developing all… creating as much as he or she is able. Yet, the other half is…we are now not alone…we possess the Will…to conquer…to progress…However, we also possess the Love…the Connection…a Circle of friends and family…all of which from now on…guarantees that we shall never be alone…We are one of a multitude…who are striving every day… together… creating…driving innovations to the future…

‘This is the ultimate fight. It is the greatest fight. Only by means of such effort will man and woman continue to progress. Only by means of such effort will he and she… as a species… endure.’

It was the second Sunday in May the following year. The tribe rose. It had been rehearsing the song for several weeks. It was being recorded on Cerebrum. Finally, in beautiful harmony, they sang as Osiris conducted. It was one of the many songs which Osiris had written for the community. In all that he did for them, it was through his music that he felt that he contributed most to the communion of Love and heavenly joy which existed in the bands. He wrote with a 12-tone theory that was highly developed now,…his key of C, like all of his keys, possessed literally one million chords now. He could really write what he was feeling now. He felt that his music was a Cosmic gift, one which could contribute to tribal communion, but it also would provide a vehicle with which he could commemorate his grandest concepts, his Cosmic ideas. Through his music, Love and Will were united. The community stood on the meadow and sang as one body the song of Mind and Will, the song of the Magi:

Oh, deep mysteries of the earth and sky,

Truths which tell the reasons why

The earth is built this way,

How to build a bright new day.

And we learn the secrets of Thy Mind,

So on earth Thy treasures find

And so our Lives will be

Pure, bold, and free.

Oh Magi, may thy Truth Light our path.

We’ll escape the fire’s wrath.

All cares will cease.

In Love we’ll share all our days,

Together find new ways

And Live in peace.

And trust the Laws of the universe,

Which fight the Darkness curse

And steer us on our course

Emboldened by Thy Force,

By Thy Force.

Osiris luxuriated in the warmth of the united community. How fortunate we are, he thought. We are united physically by the primal band. Then too, we are united intellectually by a biological conception of man and woman. We are united Cosmically by an international integration of institutions and systems, and, in the most Cosmic sense, by the knowledge that the whole universe is derived from one substance, one spark of energy … one immense I… from which all I”s were created… in one profound magnificent gesture…expansion… of Love… As the universe is filled with I‘s forever Connected by Law which governs their interaction…the Cosmos becomes one profound gesture of Will…The universe is filled with the tools… the artifacts… created by one great mind…With this gesture…was creative potential rendered unto all matter… Consciousness, Will, Love, Light… was spread forth unto great expanses of darkness…imbued within each speck of energy… from which all forces and all matter are derived,… Thus, has One tremendous explosion filled the night with Light. In antiquity, Life and knowledge were in great syntheses. Great civilizations were One, each under one powerful ruler. Knowledge, Life systems and religions were organized in great systems of thought, which incorporated the inductive synthesis ability of the right hemisphere of the brain to the highest degree and the delineation and understanding of concepts to the highest degree imparted by the left side of the brain.

After the fall of Rome, society and knowledge in Europe fell apart. The unity that society had was shattered. People sought the protection of powerful rulers over small areas who had armies and castles. The people worked like slaves on great manors. Life was this way until the cities began to grow and an entirely new middle business class emerged. At last, great metropolises like molds began to capture most of the developing countries’ populations, yet peoples Lives were still not whole. People were still enslaved … this time by their machines… fragmented into individual households, communicating by telephone and car with everything and everyone else… Living in an organism of glass, steel, and plaster….actually as parasites in an organism by, for, within mechanisms…human health no longer…foremost in importance….in twenty-four hour service to mechanical monsters….who began to rule…the earth.

Then came the Change…finally, society was united in primitive bands and higher communities. In the band the great ancient concerns of Love and Will were united. All humanity was now one family in the band’s embrace. These bands were not merely communes, wherein humans sought shelter from the machines…grew their own…in nakedness Lived with their own…Instead this was a new world…fueled only…by human creativity….

Osiris marveled how the intellectual world had become unified only recently….although such unification of disciplines had existed in the far past… In the ancient world, the universe of the intellect was whole. There was a Cosmos of the mind…which reflected, spoke to, described, and worked with the Cosmos without…. All phenomena in the universe were seen on a continuum… all Life, including man and woman, manifestations of the same basic substances, the same inert matter.

Then was that Cosmos shattered. During the Middle Ages, scientific disciplines, similar to humanity at that time, were fragmented into tiny, segregated fiefs, each ruled by suzerains whose distinction and Power was increasing, related not to the efficacy of their tools in the conduct of intellectual thought, but more and more related to the manners and felicities of the court, to superciliousness and provincialism themselves, which from the first were palpable enemies of the thought and creativity which scholarship was charge to protect and nurture.

The disciplines related to man and woman suffered most. First, the social sciences disappeared in the face of the tyranny and doctrine of the medieval Church. In fact, it had been only recently that the last of the medieval chains upon scholarship had been broken. When the social sciences finally appeared, they each had a methodology different from the other social sciences and completely different from the way scholarship and research were conducted by the biological and physical sciences. In the twentieth century, in spite of the proud technological achievements which supposedly earned for man the appellation of ‘modern,’ yet did the science of man and woman still languish in the misconceptions and constrictions of the past. Only recently were the pieces gathered and reunited upon the entirely new, mind boggling Truths of matter, of Life, discovered during the last half of the twentieth century pertaining to DNA and nuclear physics.

Now all was One. One science. One methodology. One science that includes everything. Similarly, consideration of art, theology, and even the natural sciences themselves, the five dimensions, relativity, all aspects of man and woman’s world had been enlightened and integrated by acceptance of the obvious… that man and woman are animals. Religion had gone from the unity in a shamanic past…to separate astounding, amazing differences under civilizations during antiquity… to unity in Europe under the medieval Church. The medieval Church was the One unifying Force that existed in Europe during the Middle Ages…as civilization was almost lost for a millennium… With the Renaissance, man and woman in the West were suddenly emPowered by their past… a past they had forgotten… So Powerful was this reaquaintance with classical times…its science, philosophy, scholarship… that in only two hundred years… there would be a Newton… and a scientific age. With the Enlightenment came questioning of the suzerainty of the Church and new denominations began to appear in Europe. The theology of the medieval Church possessed Truths… however, religion is like clothes and food that various countries may have, they possess good aspects but no one has enough Truth to be embraced by all as the way of doing things. Consequently, after the Change, each band was allowed to choose its own way to dress and eat and what religion it would follow.

Osiris smiled. Indeed was he fortunate to be endowed with such a legacy. What admiration he had for those whose ardent striving in the face of adversity and superstition had made this legacy possible. It was his job to add to this work, work in which he and Aurea had already been able to add much.

Yes, now mankind was moving from an intellectual phase…that now appeared to be more and more like a late Middle Ages…Now it was time for Cosmic work…it was time to build a more perfect world. There were only a few clouds in that blue sky that portended trouble. Man and woman still had work to do. Thirty percent of the population now was without work. Research was now being done at thousands of times the rate of the last century. More research meant more breakthroughs making Life easier, more and more aspects of their Lives were being automated, fewer and fewer people were needed to do non-cerebral work. More and more people who were unable to attend the Universities were left without work to do. There were more and more entertainment and games on Cerebrum to occupy their time. However, the future was a question mark. In twenty years, it was projected that sixty percent of the population would be unemployed. The ideas that Osiris had played with in a musical a few years before now were close to becoming a reality, a nightmare, severely testing the optimism that he had possessed before.

Osiris still had to believe that man and woman would continue. It was the Nature of man and woman to build tools and progress. To do otherwise was to be non-man, non-woman, was to be the end of a lineage, a species,…was to die. All of man and woman’s ingenuity would be called upon to endure in a world wherein less and less was required.

There might come a time for another Change to occur. What would it be? What would the next world look like? There was reason to hope… so many breakthroughs were being made. Too many breakthroughs were the problem…there were now fewer and fewer problems to be solved…yet perhaps breakthroughs would be made that would solve the problem of breakthroughs.

For seven years, Osiris and Wolfgang had worked together in a world creative group communicating with experts from around the world by means of Cerebrum. This group had begun to develop new ways of providing drinking water from ocean water by direct manipulation of molecules by means of minute factories… tiny, almost invisible organisms and nano-mechanisms working on the atomic level…Food could be produced in the way that Life was first created…utilizing streams of hydrogen ions building sugars, with the application of energy…yielding immense oceans of edible substances efficiently and inexpensively…..

The world had been at peace for over a decade now. Creativity was now shared world-wide, one of Omicron’s musicals had traveled from creative center to creative center around the world. The human race was becoming one family, One organism working together for the royal jelly of Life… Joy and Happiness… which made Life worth while. The Meadowlarks had a new son, Matthias, now… who did not replace Anthony, but who was a special person in his own right. Rex Meadowlark was a leader in the nation now. Dorothea had composed music for many musicals. She was active in the band’s research. The work the band had done for the President had resulted in a seat on the President’s Cabinet for her…that was concerned with institutions… the examination, the improvement and eventually the replacement of these Cosmic tools of society. Dorothea also was on several committees in the world government. She had ideas about world societies. She was concerned that customs and traditions of some communities were being lost in the rush to live in developed areas of the world…which possessed more resources. She felt more effort should be made to bring some industrialization to older areas…mechanized Cities might be built there… to preserve some of the past even if this eventually cost more.

Beta Firestar had married a doctor, was now a nurse and they both worked in the Creative Center. They lived in one of service bands near the Center.

Osiris marveled at the path he himself had trod, from Will, Knowledge and Action up towards supreme Power, towards Eternally Active and Absolute Wisdom. He had not reached the end… by any means… just the last guide post. Just as he was helping Aura progress through the first steps of the Arcana…she was on step four now…so Omicron had started over…his a Force aimed straight up to the heavens…hers a more Circular movement bringing the Love and care of the community with her…Together the Forces of the theologies in their Lives inscribed a double helix of Will and Love…a vector of energy bolting towards the Light…yet bringing the Loving circle of family and community with it… which was an example for all….From now on they must grow and progress on their own…doubly entwined… without help of parents or ancients. Yet was not the entire band rising in a spiral together? Yes, of course…yet beyond that… also the Lives of the tribe, nation, country….even the world….were rocketing upwards…towards a new even more Cosmic world…. So it was that Osiris realized that one was no longer alone…all Lives in the species were exalted…together. In ancient times, religions were systems of thought that integrated other elements like the planets, numbers, the alphabet, astronomy, astrology and all the sciences Nowadays, much of that was seen as being arbitrary or just plain wrong.

The religions that Golden Sun Tribe possessed seemed to have great strengths which all people respected.

First, there was the theology of the Will which all males and females were inculcated in to some degree…spiraling upwards, upwards in an eternal progression … Osiris reviewed in his mind the steps he had taken, which supposedly had been integrated by the ancients into one Cosmic synthesis of upward progression:

1 2

The Will, equipped with a mind with which to acquire Knowledge and

3 discern what is right and wrong, and equipped with a body with which to Act

4

is able to have an impact upon the external world and Realize the intent of

the Will. In impacting the world, the Will must operate in accordance with

5 Universal Law, which is the product of occult Inspiration, and must choose

between doing good or evil. The passions of the body are so intense

compared to the intentions of the mind, that the choice between doing Good

6

or evil proves to be an Ordeal , which must be won if the Will is to be

7

Victorious. When the Will is victorious over the passions, is able to operate

8 9

in the world in an Equilibrium with Nature, and is guided by Prudence gained

from the wisdom of experience, it is able to dominate the fluctuations of

10 11

Fortune. Human Strength, first physical then moral, tempered by sacrifice,

12 13

by Catastrophe… is at last Transformed into a Cosmic strength. A Cosmic

14

Will gains the ability and the Initiative to act in a universe in which a

15

deterministic Fate prevails. The Will continually encounters reversals of

16 17

fortune and the Ruin of plans; however, an inner Light of Hope sustains the

Will in its progress if it remains master of the instincts and is wary of

18

Deceptive treachery of enemies. In time the Will progresses to a state of

19

Earthly Happiness. This happiness may end at any time, because of the Law

20 φ

of continual change and Renewal and the Law of Expiation which metes out

punishments for every error. At last, all human weakness is overcome and

21

the Crowned Magus acquires a Cosmic power over the external world which

is limited only by his intelligence and wisdom.

Then one is back at square one …and begins again…except at a higher and more difficult level.

Then there was the theology of Love…for the feminine side of tribal life.

Second, there was the theology of Love…The mystical heart of all the world’s religions..that is, the shamanic beginnings that reverberated throughout the world some 30,000 years ago asserted what scientists believe today…that the Cosmos is infused with consciousness… there are I‘s in every particle of matter..in every quantum of energy…Similarly, the beliefs of the shaman led to the profoundly feminine understanding of ‘panentheism’…that is, all the particles of the universe are infused with the substance of the Divine…that God both interpenetrates the universe and is greater than all that is…there is a piece of God, an I, in each of us… but also somehow the Cosmos is able to think and interact at various times…with our Lives…that is, women pray to a God…a piece of whom…is actually inside each woman’s mind.

The High Priestess…now speaks…

‘The nations now believe…that the feminine theology challenges women to reclaim one’s wild creativity. ..that ability to learn so much and formulate a whole world of ideas and tools that every child displays during the first three years of life…. With a bit of aging…one becomes cautious…it can be dangerous when one allows herself to become a conduit for primordial Cosmic energy…when one stops learning by rote and instead absorbs all, yet simultaneously builds her own world…the ability to create the new enters like Light and everything becomes illuminated….

‘There is a vital connection between creativity and mysticism. By mysticism the proud powerful priestess means to learn to engage the inherent powers of the I...when an atom is stripped of electrons…It is a point of creativity…it is a potent spark of Will…that can fabricate ideas….make tools…

these powers come directly from the Cosmos and are not part of the plant/animal instinctual package that most Life possesses…to engage with the creative impulse is to agree to take a voyage into the heart of the Mystery…to that point of Will embedded within the base of a brain…. In this way…creativity bypasses the discursive mind and delivers us to the Source of our Being. When we allow ourselves to be a conduit for creative energy, we experience direct apprehension of that energy. We become a channel for Grace…that is, women rise above the vagaries of plant/animal pettiness and self interest and become One with the pulses of the Cosmos with eternal perspective.

‘To make art is to make Love with the Sacred. It is a naked encounter, authentic and risky, vulnerable and erotically charged…art reflects the dance of energy within us…it is able to impart Truth instantly I to I...Like a tree in winter whose roots are doing important work deep inside the earth, the creative process needs fallow time. We have to incubate inspiration. We need empty spaces for musing and preparing. We need empty spaces for musing and preparing, experimenting and reflecting. The society of the twentieth century did not value its artists, partly because of the apparent lack of productivity that comes with the creative life. This societal emphasis on goods and services was an artifact of the male drive to erect and protect, to engineer and execute, to produce and control…

‘Art begins with receptivity…with direct communion with the pulses of energy in the universe. Every artist, in a way, is feminine, just as every artist is a mystic…and works continually with the I…. Making art can be a subversive act, an act of resistance against the deadening lure of consumption, an act of unbridled peacemaking disguised as a poem or a song or an abstract rendering of an aspen leaf swirling in a stream. True science and art can be next-door neighbors…as long as the search for Truth is unsullied by profit or self-serving attraction of favor from others…Science must and should be creative…and the creative process feels the same whether its Power is directed toward science or art…Art should possess ideas and science should be always seeking the new which is the child of creativity…The most intelligent people on earth…have their day jobs..yet somehow they can also be artists and musicians. Their finely tuned minds are always grappling with some creative conundrum, trying to find ways to translate the music they hear in the concert hall of their heads into some intelligible form that others can grasp and appreciate. An artist is an I on fire…inflamed by an unquenchable urge to create. Each of the creative arts is a different language with which to praise the Divine or communicate important truths to society… and all are interConnected.

‘If one spends a Life in reading…and thinking…one quickly sees the creativity is not really a matter of logic or the utility of ideas….One is drawn to Cosmic Beauty in a creative process that the Cosmos itself expresses itself…occupies itself…somewhere…somehow…every moment…It is as if one is participating in a sacred act…When an insight one has reaped from years of hard work comes…it is astonishing how this advancement in ideas flows from one’s heart with passion and literary power…one’s whole body becomes one with the delivery of what should be inert, objective findings…One receives joy from performing the highest of callings!’

The Cosmic priestess, Mirabaie Starr..recounts in her works…that her mother when moved by a coyote drinking from her garden fountain or jolted by news of a vast network of Mayan city-states discovered in Guatemala…her mother’s response was to compose poetry, short stories, lyrical essays…Yes, creativity begets more creativity…joy overflows…the creative Heart. Her parents belonged to the cult of Dostoevsky, who proclaimed that Beauty would save the world.

She says…’Forgiveness. The Act of Mercy. Sympathy for the stance in the world..of others…Constantly, saying to one’s self….I am not angry…I am not angry…for example…Saying to others…I’m sorry I interpreted your rejection as rejection, rather than as a cry for Love that it really was.

‘As for the twentieth century…I forgive you for putting profits ahead of people, technology ahead of clean air and water, head ahead of Heart.

‘Forgiving you was the best thing I ever did. Forgiving you set the bird of my heart winding through the universe. One must possess sympathy…one must extinguish anger..one must be filled with Mercy..before creativity is able to flow…’

Aurea knew that one must repeat over and over…all will be well and all will be well and every kind of thing will be well….the Nature of the Divine is Loving-kindness, and the Divine wants us to absorb this into every fiber of our Being. This is a phrase that females should repeat over and over…like Hail Marys with a rosary…just as males should repeat Emile Cou’s phrase… ‘Every day in every respect, I am getting better and better’…although this will help females too….it’s like you form tapes in your head that keep playing and playing if you refresh them by saying them every day.

What is sin…well, it is something that causes a negative impact upon society…it does not really affect the Cosmic world…although you may alienate people and not end up in the Light….and it does cause pain on earth.

In the end…the theology of Love is simply the following…

‘We honor the Hindu teaching of namaste...“The Light in me honors the Light in you.” Like Martin Buber…the I in me recognizes and honors the I in you. ..that is…the Thou…in you… The scientist in each of us has to accept the fact that there exists this reciprocity between I and I…we only have empirical proof of our own I. The priestess jumps immediately to belief in the I in another…as she recognizes immediately…in the person in front of her…the existence…the presence of… Love.

‘With the female Cosmic perspective…a deathbed feels like a birthbed…Like the universe is taking a big inhale, recalibrating, and exhaling a new reality…a new adventure…

As has been said…’With a Cosmic perspective…you can feel your grip loosening on your ambitions, orgasms are no longer the main goal of Lovemaking…or a major reason for Living…It is easier to sit beside a pond and do nothing but follow the trajectory of a dragonfly’s journey with your eyes.

As has been said…again and again…

` ‘There are women mystics from all branches of the I family…Hinduism, Buddhiism, Taoism, Judiasm, Christiianity, Islam, and in every indigenous way…the priestess is constantly contemplating union with the great I and a better Life for people. The great Heart and wisdom of the divine feminine is that…one’s Life is filled with poetry, prose, practices, prayer…Spiritual/ Inner-Being…you feel the beating wings of mercy and the flowering Heart of forgiveness…the Heart’s story of divine Love…You hear the cries of the world…feminine ferocity…Powerful and compassionate…fearless and commanding…you accept the decisive challenge of existence…you are in the lap of the Great Mother…you drink deeply from the well of wholeness and hope…the priestess gathers the flowers of various mystical traditions from all around the world into a bouquet of Beauty…of Connection with all aspects of ourselves, and of the interConnectedness of all beings.’

Steve and Osiris strode through the hills in the crisp spring morning. At the top of the rise, they found Constantine posed as a statue looking eastward out over the Bay, his long blazing hair blowing in the wind. The golden mountain began to emerge to the west through the gloom. Nature serenaded the land with its raucous symphony. The air was clear, as the sky was slowly transformed from deathly black, to Life-giving blue. Then did the three join arms in one strong, communal, joyful blood chain and gaze intently and confidently into the brilliant Light… of the rising sun.

Introduction

Ideas can do anything! No! Whatever is doing the thinking, the building…can do anything. Thought does not parade about…by itself. All this German Idealism, German Romanticism… is hiding something here…

and at a time when the future of mankind is viewed with peril…Everything must be understood! It is important to understand what our capabilities, our potentialities are!…to realize the tremendous potentialities we possess!…What they are…How they have been neglected…How they can be developed… Unleashed!…to help build the Future!

German Idealism

It all really started with Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit…..I know… What is the most frightening prospect in the world?…Having to read even a paragraph of this great, but forbidding work. And I know Immanuel Kant really started all of Idealism stuff with his emphasis upon analytical categories…But Hegel was the one to first get people all excited. Here is a stretch of Hegel’s thinking that helped to start all the ruckus…

“Reason is the certainty of consciousness that it is all reality; thus does idealism express its Notion. Just as consciousness, that comes on the scene as Reason, possesses that certainty directly in itself, so too does idealism give direct expression to the certainty: ‘I am I’, in the sense that the ‘I’ which is an object for me is the sole object, is all reality and all that is present. Here, the ‘I’ that is object for me, is not merely an empty object in general, as it is for self-consciousness as such….” and so on…..

What in the hell…is this man talking about? Well, actually his book is very good…at least in these few paragraphs…I mean, Hegel is supposed to be reconciling the ideas of all the philosophers who came before him..into One grand synthesis…The reality though…is…that although he gives a nod here and there to Descartes, Berkeley, Plato, and Aristotle…he is primarily just ranting on about his own ideas…in which he somehow forgets to synthesize the most important things ….

But right here… in the paragraphs surrounding the quotation above…he considers something interesting…he is considering the origin of his ideas… He proposes that Idealism is most important….in his brain…

It is clear that Hegel is a right hemispheric dominant person…he scored 170 I.Q. On the Wechler-Belevue Block test…I saw the score…And Hegel is doing in his book what philosophers do without seemingly being conscious of it …they are looking at the human brain…from the inside out… And this is appropriate…for if we are animals, as DNA has now proven…should not we be looking at all these disciplines that concern man and woman….the social sciences… in a new way…a biological way? The Truth is…we have simply run out of time…We no longer have the luxury of sitting around playing with words all day…We need answers to problems now…and we need them fast…and we need them to come from all quarters….

What Hegel is addressing in the quoted passage above is this…Philosophy is basically thinking… about thinking….He never properly answers the crucial question…What the heck…is doing the thinking?….

The problem with an approach to Truth like this…is…that we are doing the thinking…and we cannot possibly know who we are..what the I is…simply by ‘looking out’ and thinking about the world about us…The active principle within us…that entity inside us which is ‘looking out’ simply has to be found another way….

Hegel’s problem is this…Obviously there is something inside our brains ‘looking out’…Exactly what is this?…It is responsible for all we do…The problem is …without empirical knowledge…that instruments can measure…we are left giving credit for thought…to thought itself…That is, just because our approach cannot…is simply unable…to pinpoint the Source of all our thinking…we are left…simply with one thing…what the I does…as if that activity somehow exhausts all that the I...might be…

The I

In this way, the practice of Idealism…as a branch of philosophy… has come to believe that thought has created everything…even itself…However, this is also saying something else…It is saying that the mind…has created everything…just as that initial great Mind…God…first created everything!…But the problem is…that the mind is brain…so it soon becomes obvious that it is the brain….that it is some part of the brain that is in charge…that that something…somehow…someway…creates everything…Well, creates all conceptual thought….

So the brain…is run…by consciousness…What runs the brain? Well, we know that the I has created all Life…all patterns of Living…[see my minibook on this] If philosophy is a first approach… then how about if we take a second approach and examine the brain from the outside in!…What do we find? Well, I have gone through all of this also elsewhere…but…Atoms create everything in a human being…also everything in the Cosmos!…Well, obviously they compose everything…but Create?… Nowadays we are left with a conception of a Cosmos totally composed of materialism….composed of things…seemingly just dedicated to one monotonous activity…that of, well, …just blowing up!….But when one thinks it all through, he or she comes up with a startling conclusion…All of this is a materialism…soaked with consciousness!…Yes!…I maintain, that every atom possesses consciousness!….

Then this must mean that Idealism…is in control. Hegel is right. Spirit is in control?

So this is a form of shamanism?…some pagan, forbidding, forbidden stuff?…It is…Yet, it is not….We are not actually talking about ghosts running things….Everything is run…by Is…what does this mean? This is the question to answer. The secret that unlocks the Power…the Energy..of the Cosmos…

Forget about Ideas…Ideas come from Is…forget about spirits…the word ‘spirit’ possesses human connotations…that come from hallucinations…The Truth is…everything is I…This is like Living in a Cosmos saturated with aliens… friendly, dumb entities…but when aggregated billions, trillions…no, countless times…these tiny microscopic things…can become…Powerful aliens….

It is not Spirit or Ideas that move the world…It is Is…How do we work with them?

Working with Is

So mind does everything. But Is are so small…did it ever occur to you that everything that is important in this Cosmos…is microscopic? Even 99 percent of Living things cannot be seen with the naked eye!…And we are so… important!? Is are so small…that it seems to us that chemical reactions are running things…The secret is…this is Will…at work!…and Will…can be Unleashed! The I…in our brain ..has been Unleashed! Streams of ions seem to have created Life…As I say, I have written much on all of this. Is one I in charge of this stream? I’s have to move…for atoms to remain ‘revealed’ to remain bereft of electrons…They have to move…if Is are to gain Power by working together in mass…Is this stream…does this stream behave as one entity…one personality?…Well, tt seems as if each atom possesses a different personality… so it seems as if one I..is in charge…of a human being..It is possible that many ions working together could create one personality… however, it is more likely that this stream of ions is a small army with one general in charge….

I woke up in the middle of the night with these ideas in my head…

I wondered immediately how close I was to to a minibook…how close are we as a society to conducting experiments…that can shake the world?

How can we work with Is? We have to take care of Is….then they will help us take care of ourselves…What can we do for them?…We can give them a voice. This will allow them to Unleash their Power! Creativity is the thing! It is the only source of Joy and Happiness….for all!…Is can help us and increase our ability to create…

So that’s it?..Is can help us…But really!…is what Is are really all about …is what the Cosmos really working towards…is simply a feeling of Joy and Happiness?…a Happy Universe?

Well, I think Is can really, really help us…Here are just two ideas…

First, each cell in our body has a centrosome…which runs the cell…all particles entering the cell are guided to the centrosome by fibers…where a decision is made as to where the particle should be moved next…My hypothesis is that a hydrogen ion is in the centrosome making the crucial decisions….if we can somehow communicate with this entity…it might be able to look at incoming particles…identify pre-cancerous ones…and either destroy the pre-cancerous particle…or kill the entire cell itself…This would nip cancer in the bud.

A second idea…is the use of hydrogen ions in computer chips…which would obviously…well, if we can communicate with them properly…would increase efficiency of chips many times….

So there are probably many ways that hydrogen ions…that is Is…can be persuaded to help us…They can also help us increase our own creativity which in turn will increase Joy and Happiness for us…not to mention that they will increase our chances for survival…as a species….

Conclusion

This is not science fiction…This is science…a new science…built with a new scientific method…utilizing new kinds of experiments…because to move forward we must consider things that are either too small or are moving too fast for our instruments to measure…In the past, whatever our instruments came up with…that was the Truth…This mode of operation…is no longer acceptable….These ideas are not fantasy…they have a 99.9999 percent chance of being True…

This is not useless speculation….We can no longer accept a view of Life and Cosmos that is 100 percent Ideas…100 percent Idealism…We need something else….not Idealism…but Iism…. in one last desperate attempt to keep our species…Homo sapiens…alive….

Bibliography

I have always questioned the historical theses used to interpret events in Germany after 1700. The terms ‘German Idealism’ and ‘German Romanticism’ seemed to be historical constructs that attempted to rationalize, sympathize with and otherwise account for Germans falling from economic importance with the rise of the Dutch and the English….After all…Germany was world important during the sixteenth century with the Hanseatic League with its associative ‘putting out’ system which prefigured and anticipated great economic innovations to come in countries next to them…Supposedly, German Idealism and Romanticism…even Marxist theory…arose to counter the Industrial Revolution that had arisen in Britain with its emphasis upon materialism which diverted attention from religion. The thesis is that Germans fell behind the countries around them…Filled with feelings of estrangement and ressenttiment in the face of an Enlightenment that was building a new world…Germans chose to concentrate upon Culture and upon human feelings and emotions that seemed to be trampled in a rush towards riches in this new age.

The Truth is…no one desires to deprecate Industrial Revolution…I mean, come on now…man and womankind were emerging from a thousand years of darkness and death! Beethoven proclaimed a new species building with new, astonishing tools! Marx said bad things about capitalists…yet what he devised was a way …a first successful attempt…for an undeveloped country …to develop itself!…This is a schema that has been emulated by every underdeveloped country since….No…Everyone is agreed…The Dark Ages are best left behind!…

To me, Germanic history can be understood more completely if one begins with the Germanic mind…the Germanic brain…which is primarily right hemispheric dominant in a world surrounded by left hemispheric types…this would explain its political and economic faltering, its emphasis upon Culture even though its scientific contribution must not be forgotten….

When one talks of hemispheric dominance in the brain, students of history are often told to proceed with caution with such ideas…as these could be construed as referring too an inferiority of ability and culture associated with certain mental proclivities….The Truth is…that the right side of the brain is very Powerful… however, left hemispheric dominance arose because human beings met challenges that required more…To meet the needs of a frozen, dark environment half of the year in the arctic…humans developed the ability to use the left side of the brain…However, no one person possesses both…[See Paul Bahin of the University of Michigan in the 1960s…and his work with different alpha charges in the brain] It has been established that people with different hemispheric dominance are required for the two sides of the brain to work together…and create something new in the history of the world…Working together in the arctic… humans now…could create tools! …Almost immediately came the wheel, fire, use of horses, and language….innovations that first appeared in the Siberian regions of Asia…Then came the next miracle…people now possessing left hemispheric dominance in the north… began to move to the Middle East…where they could mix with right hemispheric dominant people moving in from the south….It was here…that Civilization arose!

The Truth is…the right side of the brain is very important in the tool creating process… it is responsible for, as it is the source of, all ideas that are not instinctive… for all innovations…and the eclipse of its Powers during the past century is primarily responsible for problems the world is encountering at the present time…

To reiterate…it must be always and constantly be placed before us, that all great progress is made only by people with different abilities working together…abilities must be identified at an early age, developed, and people with different abilities must have experience working together…perhaps as early as pre-school…

Much must be done fast…old ideas must give way to breakthroughs in knowledge…Now!

It seems that research into hemispheric dominance in the brain has stalled during the past 50 years because of lack of living human brains to conduct experiments on…However, there is one test that identifies people with right hemispheric dominance…the Wechsler-Bellevue Block Test..,

and I have a 230 I.Q. on the test…this is not a reason for bragging on my part…I have been treated as a sort of second class citizen most of my life scholastically…and otherwise… as I scored poorly on the Standford-Binet I.Q. Test and the SAT….Nevertheless, I had nearly straight A’s from grade 7-12…and I was the youngest Eagle Scout in the history of the organization…I did poorly at the University of California at Davis, until I found economic history which could utilized my abilities straightaway…People like me need to be studied because we know everything there is to be known about the right side of the brain…and I have extensive experience about how the two sides of the brain are able to work together….

Every right hemispheric person possesses a Synthesis in his or her mind…People who are left hemispheric dominant are not aware of this…they have no such thing…and never think to look for this phenomenon…On the other hand, right hemispheric people …like Hegel, for instance…can rant and rave…write extensively without even mentioning the thing that is most prominent in their mind… Their Synthesis!… the thing that is most responsible for their mind’s ability to help create tools….that exists in every right hemispheric dominant person’s brain!….What it is, how it is constructed, how it is expanded…how it is utilized to create ideas….Hegel never seems to get around to considering any of this at all…He must have thought that all brains are the same…He must have felt…that something as obvious as a Synthesis in one’s brain was not even interesting enough to talk about…even though it is obviously involved in every sentence that he writes! It is very disappointing that a person who was devoted to bringing all of philosophy together does not even mention that there are two abilities in philosophy…the inductive and the deductive….the analytical and the synthetic…and that these two abilities are responsible for all Laws…for all Tools…for all Progress..in our human world. He should have devoted all of his efforts to tracing how these two abilities work…together…in separate individuals… to create Ideas….How does it do this! Witness!: Perception… plus Connection…plus Separation…produces…a Cosmic Explosion! See my book…Man and the Cosmos…The Science of Everything…

One more thing. I know school is boring…you seem to be learning a bunch of stuff that you will never use…but keep chugging…you must go to college…period….

Yet…there is something you can do …right now…that can really change your Life…First, determine if you are left or right hemispheric dominant… There are no simple, surefire tests…when you think, your eyes go in the opposite direction of your dominant hemisphere…yet that doesn’t always work…Do you think deductively…or do you think with common sense?

Okay, you are the Beatles…right here, right now…find a person who is opposite from you…and begin to work together….You can make a million dollars together…I mean it…this will be the beginning of great creativity…

it will be the beginning of building a Creative Cluster with a dozen or more people with both hemispheric dominance…Your Cluster will change your Life! Your Cluster will change…the World! We can help you get started!

Hegel, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich, Phenomenology of Spirit, Translated by A.V. Miller with analysis of the text and Foreword by J.N.Findlay (New York: Oxford University Press, 1977) 595pp.

‘Society is a mechanism and it requires a mechanic and a manager just as any machine or factory does. Mechanisms do not change themselves to meet nuances in markets, tastes, or technology. Man changes mechanisms, and this is as true of our social mechanisms, our institutions, as it is for any other machine. The thing is, the manager of a factory is very much aware of the need to retool and make his mechanical capability consistent with the needs of the time. However, our society has no managers making the same type of modifications in our social machines. Consequently, most of our institutions are mechanisms which were first created during the Middle Ages, which have been altered only slightly if at all to meet changes in needs over time. And now the times are rapidly on the move. Technological improvements, changes in man’s physical tools have progressed so rapidly over three centuries that man’s social machines are now hopelessly inadequate.

‘During the 60’s, students in the street, without being explicitly conscious of it, were crying in anguish against the archaic institution of the University as much as any other malady. It is time that we train social engineers to devise new institutions. Such a Change would be on a larger scale than we might imagine. The conduct of our lives has changed so dramatically during recent years that institutions, forms, have to be changed dramatically and discontinuously in order that they might be consistent with the fabric of society.

‘Such a Change will not be easy, but any inconvenience, or slight discomfort which such a Change might produce would certainly be worth the agony which would be displaced. The existing institutions are a corset which straps our every movement and promises to burst forth any moment if remedies are not soon found.’

It was the first Sunday in September. It was six o’clock in the morning on their wedding day. Omicron and Aura were ready for their ascent up the mountain. Two tribes would be involved… however, the customs of Golden Sun Tribe would be followed as the couple had chosen to Live with them after they graduated from the University.

There had been a reception in the Jasmines’ band the night before. Ten in the morning they magged to Love Song Band, from whence their journey would commence. Both were beaming and jubilant in their anticipation. All preparations had been made. They would climb to the full height of the peak, then return for the blessings, ceremony, and celebration to be presided over by leaders from both tribes and bands… and finally for the warmth and work of the wedding bed.

The sky was ablaze with Light. The clouds were gone. Trees were in bloom. Hills were banks of flowers. The air was aLive with the songs of birds, the meadows with the rustle of Life. It was Indian summer. The warm months of vegetable production would continue on into September before signs of autumn, declension and winter would begin to appear.

Omicron and Aura were very happy. Omicron had just received an offer to write music for the government while he was attending Jupiter University. It was only part-time pay, but this was consistent with his sense of responsibility to other areas of research and intellectual creativity and to the communities and Cosmic creativity. They kissed and hugged Omicron’s parents and friends, swung on their packs, and stretched their legs out in front of them, their limbs anxious and strong, eager to climb the path to the sky. They would climb straight up the hills this time… and not travel part way on the broken highway. Their spirits were very high and they almost flew up the first hills. Soon they were at Sage Brush Meadows, which today surprisingly was the beginning of a journey, instead, as it was in the past, the destination of a joyful weekend trip. Then they started up the second set of hills and the climb became more arduous. They strained against their day packs, using dried tree limbs as walking sticks, and worked their way like old men up a winding path. They strode for the sun… up and up for three hours straight. Then they stopped to drink and immerse their heads in a gushing spring. The hillsides were gradually warming in the sun. They recommenced their climb, the panorama opened up behind them as they rose… first, the tribal area… then the northern part of the Bay… then glimpses of land on the far side of the blue.. upwards, upwards, they climbed.

After they reached the top of the second level of hills, they went into a cool shaded glen where they ate a snack and laughed amidst the concert of Nature around them. A most serious climb up the third tier of hills was now before them. They had risen from sage brush and Live oak to chaparral. The pines and firs could be seen on the sides of the great mountain,… which rose above them…dead ahead… Onward they strove.

It was approximately 10:30 when they reached the trees in the fourth level of hills, which were actually parts of the magnificent mountain soaring to the heavens before them. Omicron’s ears popped. They did not look back, but continued their drive to the top. The coolness of the forests quickened their pace,…They stopped briefly for another drink of water.

Then finally, they started up the last barren ascent to the top. There was no path now. The progress was slow… but joyfully together, it was not difficult. The heat of the sun bore down upon them. The perspiration flowed forth on their reddening skin. They began to breathe heavily, choking with dust as their legs plodded on. The first rise was sighted, then won. Then the second was challenged and surmounted. Together they almost ran to the top of the final jutting peak.

At the top… the wind pushed past their faces… in a strangely magical peace… There was a spring here… with pure, crystal water. They had known the spring would be there and they were prepared. The spring ran into a small pool, watering a lush green oasis at the crown of the mountain. Here Omicron and Aura saw the whole world which they knew… open before them like an immense three-dimensional topographical map. They could see all the way to the great mountains to the east… on the other side of the Great Valley. They could see the two rivers in the Great Valley that joined into one strait of water which flowed westerly into the Bay, the large red Fire mountain which stood prominently on the other side of the Bay, and the new City to the south.

Yes, here they were higher and more powerful than the City, which now appeared to be a puny, feeble work of man compared to the majesty of the mountain and of Nature’s work spread before them.

They took off their packs and walked to the pool. Omicron pulled Aura’s robe over her head and she took off his tunic. He unfastened her brassiere and let it drop with her panties. And she exposed the entire taunt strong torso of the man she Loved. They entered the water together, naked … into the glistening ice cold pool. They bathed each other with the soap they had brought. They were cleaned and purified in the cold spring waters and then emerged dripping into the heat of the noonday sun. They poured oil over their bodies. Then they took clean silk wedding garments out of their packs and slipped them over each other’s head. They stood at the summit in the Light of the heavens and now looked westward out over the hills which sloped down and down to the ocean below.

‘There it is, my Love,’ said Omicron. ‘There is the peace of the other side. We must work hard for many years, then when our labors bear fruit, we shall be able to Live in the peace of the ocean lands. We can stay there for weeks at a time if we wish… in the ocean clusters… although the clusters by the Bay will always be our home.

‘We have ascended the peak. We must never forget what we have done …when we go back below. Our work, however tedious and mundane, must always be motivated by the mountain and the Light of the heavens.’

Aura responded,

‘Just as our minds must ascend in order to obtain the Powers of the universe, so must our Love grow to embrace all that is Life. Here at the summit, our minds, our bodies are One. Soon we must return to earth, where the final step is taken and we are made One with the primal bands that bore us… the family of commingled blood, with only One name. It is in the embrace of the bands that we were born, we shall Live and grow together, bear new Life and new thought, perform Cosmic deeds, and one day will die. It is in the embrace of the bands that the mind and body are combined into a universal Force… a Light which shall never dim.’

On the peak did they then embrace, kiss, and hold each other til the sun inclined from the top and they began their easy and Loving way home.

Steve and Sylvia looked upward proudly. The band had not yet been formed when they had made a similar climb. Steve had searched the earth for traditions that could be used in the band and he had been instrumental in formulating them and making them a part of their daily Lives. In accordance with these traditions, not many were allowed to make the climb on their wedding day. Both Omicron and Aura had passed oral tests given by the leaders of the tribe.

‘Our boy is a man,’ said Steve. ‘I can tell by talking with him that he has progressed very, very far along his path.’

‘And Aura is a woman,’ responded Sylvia. ‘She is filled with the Truths of Love to the point that I feel our band could sit before her and hear all that her mother has labored over for the past twenty years…Her mother is a high priestess in the feminine beliefs…she has brought wisdom from the ages…to this modern sparkling world.

‘Of course, we are all One. The nations are One family. We all feel this. But the Love of some is more than others. And the masses rely upon the few… in Love… as they rely upon the few… for mind, leadership, and Will. Each in this couple will be a great person. And I am proud that they are mine.’

They returned in the early evening. There was still Light, even as the days were shortening. They were covered by the community with strands of flowers and were led to the center of the meadow where surrounded by members of the communities… the ceremony would take place.

It was then that Samuel Wolf, the leader of the tribe, placed their hands together and said:

‘We are here to celebrate the progress of two persons. Hitherto, each has had his and her own path… lately these paths have come very close together. With the seal of Love and Will bestowed upon you this day by this primal band… you will thenceforth walk on one path together.

‘Marriage is not taken lightly by our primal bands. Marriage is sealed with primal blood. If either of you should forsake the other, or for less than the most serious of causes abandon the other, then ostracism from this tribe and perhaps from many other tribes could be the result.

‘Marriage in our tribe is not allowed until two people pledge eternal faithfulness. If this pledge is not obtained… then marriage is forbidden. Marriage is never encouraged as a matter of form, where intentions are less than this. For marriage is an eternal pledge to each other and it is a solemn promise made to the tribe that you will be an eternally productive couple in its midst.

‘Thus, marriage is not encouraged, or forced upon anyone… for the penalties for unfaithfulness and divorce are severe. However, marriage in fact is embraced by almost all persons in our tribes today, for only marriage gives a person the ability to participate in physical creativity and have children. In addition, marriage produces a vital Force, a coupling of two animals, whose brains are allowed by the fulfillment of Love and the body to participate fully in intellectual creativity…and become one vector…of Will and Power. Once together… man and woman may attain any height… and ultimately gain the Cosmic rewards that Life has to offer.

‘Therefore, this ceremony represents an animal act, participated in by human animals. No man or woman here pretends to be more. But it is our animalness which makes all worthwhile. It is our animalness which makes us concrete brothers and sisters. Our animalness is equipped with a brain, which is more powerful in its Will…than that possessed by any other animal. That brain is anchored in a body, a body of passion and Love. And it is in the blood of the animal that this band is washed. We shall now all shed and mix blood as a symbol of our Oneness in flesh and Love as animals, our Oneness in mind as animals seeking common goals and exaltation of the Will, and our Oneness as brothers and sisters in the Cosmic embrace of the primal band… striving for the Light!

‘The blood will now be spilt and shared. Each person will cut a finger and allow his and her blood to drop onto the sore of the next.’

Omicron and Aura participated in the rite as part of the immense circle. The leader then took blood on his fingers and spread it on the Lovers’ lips. He bade them kiss and the blood of the band was sealed upon the marriage. The primal band then consecrated the marriage… by singing a Cosmic hymn…

The Power of the Universe

Pours down on us tonight.

The Power of the Universe

Makes our World a splendid sight.

If we can but chant the phrase

And hold our Love ones tight,

The Power of the Universe

Falls down on us tonight.

The Power of the Universe

Extends Her Loving Hand.

The Power of the Universe

Sings forth throughout the land.

If we be, all we can be,

All that Passion and Will command,

The Power of the Universe

Extends Her Loving Hand.

The Power of the Universe

Resides within us all.

The Power of the Universe

Removes every wall.

If we be One in Blood,

One with Nature, large and small,

Then…

The Power of the Universe

Resides within us all.

Omicron and Aura were then led to the consummation suite, which was a part of the tribal recreation center…the latter was located in the center of the Circle of band clusters…next to the food preparation pod. It was a Lovely cottage with one-way membranes, which allowed Light to pour in. There were flowers in pots all around inside… and planted profusely in banks of color…outside around the cluster. There was a rose garden and the day’s harvest of roses was placed carefully in vases throughout the cottage.

Omicron and Aura, surrounded by and covered with flowers, stood hand in hand, looking out the large one-way panoramic window at the sun which was still above the mountain….which could be seen in the distance.

‘Cosmic step nineteen… Earthly Happiness… is represented by a radiant sun shining on two small children, images of innocence, who hold each other’s hands in the midst of a circle of flowers. It is the symbol of happiness promised by the simple Life and by moderation in all one’s desires.

‘Remember, son of Earth, that the Light of the mysteries flows dangerous in the service of the Will. It illuminates those who know how to use it; it strikes down those who are ignorant of its Power or who abuse it.’

The couple sat hand in hand until the sun had sunk behind the mountain. In the past, the night had been their prime time for intellectual creativity. Now it would be the time for physical creativity. This was a night to savor, for in this day and age the creation of children was tightly controlled. If they conceived on their wedding night, it probably would be their last supreme physical creative act. From then on, physical creativity would be supportive, not initiatory, in Nature… as they supplied the physical, intellectual, and Cosmic needs of their child. However, even though this could be their last supreme physical act… it would be enough to last a Lifetime.

Aura emerged from the bathroom in a negligee resembling white blossoms of springtime… through which the white of her skin, her breasts, and bottom were visible. Omicron quickly disrobed, picked Aura deftly from the floor and carried her in his arms to the bed.

Aura paused… and said…

‘The Theology of Love has moved past initial experiments of Living as chimpanzees and Loving our neighbors… the World Government now is deciding which religion it will accept…as a Cosmic theology… Before we create a baby… let us think about what scientists think about all this….

‘Yes there is all this new talk about I’s and such… There is talk about how I’s may benefit from transforming plant into animal… No…let us go back to the very beginning…the very beginning of Life…We know now…that the first Life was strange…it was one flowing stream of hydrogen ions…wherein hydrogen atoms flashed back and forth…from being ‘concealed’…to being ‘revealed’…Life in its essence is replication…At the beginning…as strange as it sounds…this flow of atoms went from ‘concealed’ to ‘revealed’ and back and forth again…the same atoms…When they were ‘concealed’…they were in a Cosmic realm…atoms with electrons in tow…wherein there existed the calm peaceful eternal world of Cosmic bliss…then the electrons were removed and the flow became Life!…consciousness able to impact the world about it!….and then back again….initiating, creating sugar molecules from water and carbon dioxide that could be permanent fixtures in an area that could be utilized time and again to facilitate the conveyance back and forth of hydrogen from atoms to ions and back again…. Replication is the essence of Life…and it would seem that the first replication occurred…when a flow of hydrogen ions…kept replicating itself!…The insistence of this flow of ions upon replicating this pattern must mean that Life must offer Cosmic entities something it cannot have in a Cosmic state….It would seem that even though existence in the Cosmos can be peaceful and perfect… there still must be a need within a nucleus to impact…move the world outside of itself!…and outside of a molecule it may be a part of!….Thus at the beginning of Life…there was an inclination for hydrogen atoms to uncouple and begin to flow…which produced a magnetic field which became an instrument for conveying information…and releasing the Power of consciousness….allowing consciousness to impact all around it!… Most nuclei….99 percent… in the Cosmos are hydrogen or helium…and most of these are ions…they do not possess electrons…they are located inside stars and nebulae…thus these Cosmic entities are great explosive masses of consciousness…However, this consciousness seem to possess only the Power to blow up…not construct anything….Only on earth can these bits of consciousness actually do something!…and the temptation to do something…seems to have been too great to pass by!…Each bit of consciousness in the Cosmos has its own personality…these bits of personality were mixed thoroughly at the start…somehow comprising One gigantic personality…at the time of the Big Bang….At one moment…they are communicating with each other as single entities in stars and nebulae…then in the next moment…they somehow become One entity…One I...many I’s….back and forth…It is only on earth that true Connection with another I...can be made…a Connection that can withstand the vagaries of time…and enable these bits of I…to remain together … forever…in the Light and not ever be allowed to slip…into a vast lonely darkness…..

‘But listen to this… Mom was telling me all about something…this something is so very unchimpanzee like… She said that this something…was composed of ideas which are Beautiful… they are so romantic… that she wanted to tell me about it…

‘You see it seems that particles desire to be Connected with other particles… and thus they shall avoid being solitary, in darkness, forever…

so when the first hydrogen ions became I’s in plankton… it was not considered by these first I’s to be a burden… because it would give these tiny specks of matter ‘looking out’ at other matter the chance to make Connection… real Connection…that might become eternal Connection… with another particle…

‘You see scientists now believe that the I that is in our brain… processes all perceptions, all thought, all action displayed by that brain…The I is buried way inside there somewhere… doing all these things… so when we talk… for instance… if we are face to face, we kiss, we have sex… the brain is in the way of our I-particles…keeping them from truly communication…I to I...I and Thou…as Martin Buber would have it… The brain is an obstacle…preventing two I‘s from having the closest relationship possible…

‘How you might ask… can our I’s be as close as they can be…. I mean, right now we are close… even though we have ‘found’ each other… in what seems only a few days ago… but how can this closeness….be more… how can this closeness…become one thousands times closer… then one million times closer?…

‘Well, the Big Boys in the world of ideas…think they have an answer… although scientists are in bed with their wives right now… trying things out….

‘It turns out that sex itself is really quite selfish… especially for the male… every one knows that… But let’s go back to the fact… that we are two things… plant… and Cosmic I…. Our ‘I’s desire to be One… What plant activity is most consistent with this desire for Connection?… Well, sex, of course….it is the female organ that is important here… yes, that organ is the center of intimacy for all animals… not the male organ… well, sorry, that organ just seems to be really irrelevant to all of this romantic stuff… sorry…

‘It is the female organ that the male desires, worships… she thinks it is ugly, nasty, basically bathroom… he thinks of it… and he thinks of it every two minutes… he thinks of it as a small mound of diamonds… if you could ever believe… conceive…of such a thing!…

‘So plant-wise… there is one way two humans can bond tighter than by means of the sex act itself… and that is for her to always have the organ nearby… under a housedress, a secret no one else knows about…for him to see… for her to give…not for sex necessarily…it is just there…always… nearby… the intimacy … the Love…always there…nearby…He desires… she supplies… it is that simple..

‘It seems that our I’s are almost wired together just through the desiring and the giving… short circuiting all kinds of cerebral pathways… by means of the Vagus nerve…that runs directly from her sex organ to both of their I’s…without the sex act itself…

‘Well, of course, men need sex… at least two times a week… or they will die of prostate cancer… sperm is toxic… females don’t really need sex at all… or at least we would like you to think that… but certainly sex is not co.mpelling… for us… more than once a month…

‘So here… big boy… here it is… it is now…all yours….We are close… Let’s see how much closer our I’s can get… during the next twenty-four hours….’

Their full passion was finally permitted to be expressed in crushing kisses and long embraces. Then Omicron lifted the blossoms from his Lover’s limbs and she was completely receptive for his gift in order to conceive. A million Lights of the heavens flickered in both of their eyes, which became dead to all else. There was not a thought in their brains as primal man and woman luxuriated in the glory of primal Love. All Omicron was conscious of was Love, Love for Aura, Then Omicron took his woman into the honey-warmth of his arms… their bodies and minds still swimming in the quintessential joy of creation and the ultimate communion of two beasts in Nature….a Connection allied with…. eternal progression…

Introduction

The Hippies…Yes!…I know about the hippies!…I was there!….In fact, I was older than they were…I had already graduated from college…and had started my family. My wife, then, had many friends…and we formed a group that met almost every other month…to talk…they smoked weird stuff…We considered thoughtfully, thoroughly all the problems of the world. And we solved them!…well, so we thought…We had all sorts of activities together…

walking the aesthetic stretches of Stinson Beach in Marin County in the Bay Area, the redwoods in northern California, frolicked in the hot springs of Pyramid Lake in the Tehachapi Mountains….Yes…we did everything… panned for gold by skin diving to the bottom of rivers in the Sierra Nevada mountain range…We loved everyone…We solved every imaginable problem there was to be solved…I was planning intensively, seriously…. how to help develop five specific countries in Africa and the Far East…

Then it was over…in a puff of smoke, it would seem…The guys put on suits and ties and worked for aerospace or the government…The hippie wives put on plain dresses again and raised families in the suburbs they had grown up in…business, again…was…as usual…

I remember the time back then…There had been such faith in the human brain…to solve problems….faith that the world would be an even greater place than it was then…I mean, this was the richest time in the history of the world…and we were fortunate to be living in the richest country on earth…Yet as the century passed by…it was evident that there were still problems… alienation, materialism, and two-thirds of the world just could not seem…to move forward….We look back now….to marvel at the confidence, the faith we possessed back then…we had our brains, we had each other..and we…yes, just little old us…we could make a difference!…we could help build the future!…

I remember a music video during the 1990s….There was Annie Lennox….sitting naked in the center of a vacant hardwood floor in a suburban house…tears streaming down her cheeks….She was singing, ‘A Whiter Shade of Pale,’ which was written originally in honor of the Beats who developed stream of consciousness creativity…Yes, she was singing about that long ago age of the Beats!…of the hippies!….Where were the flower children now? she was lamenting. Where was that hope…that faith that existed back then…faith that all problems could be taken on…and summarily conquered?…Perhaps simply by opening our mouths and starting to babble…a river of words with Truth somehow embedded within them wold pour out…It would be a Truth which we of course could, would sort out later when the smoke cleared… Where the hell are you now? she was asking…sternly, plaintively…almost shouting…through her tears…I…am here….I…am still… here! Where the hell…are you?!

My entire life has been devoted to helping build the future. I have passed up numerous opportunities to leave my cherished City by the Bay…leave my friends who are still dancing, singing, smoking, frolicking on desert sands. W are working together in a Creative Cluster now…I have thankfully, miraculously been able to make some progress in my efforts over the years…and I have inherited a genetics that hopefully will give me extra years to continue the fight, exploration, work, adventure…of creative thought. Back in those days of o’er…I read two books by Theodore Roszak…

The Making of a Counter Culture… and Where the Wasteland Ends…Politics and Transcendence in Post Industrial Society.…in the latter book he thought three groups of people in history…were instrumental in fighting, what he called, Urban-Industrial Society…Rousseau, the German Idealists, and the Counter Culture….Now with fifty years of perspective, I am writing three little books…in response to his assertions…I think he was wrong…about many things…although I have to say….that he was one of the first…to take the hippies seriously….In this book, we are going to explore together…one set…of his assertions….Who were the hippies? What was their experience? What were they really fighting for?…and… How…can we recommence their fight… today?

Alienation in the Suburbs

Yes, I was part of the pre-baby boom generation…I was actually born in the States as the War was being won….My father was instructing recruits scheduled for immediate deployment to Europe….in the arts associated with weapons of mass destruction…which at that time was mostly about chemical warfare…Both of my parents had graduated from the University of California…only about one percent of the U.S. population was fortunate enough to be able to go to college before the War….Well, there was Depression…and the War…That generation had more than its share…of challenges…So it is quite understandable that they would consider it a miracle when suburban living appeared…after the War. I mean, come on…people now were able to live as nobility of old…palatial estates, surrounded by garden-lawned landscapes…with mechanical servants…of every type. For that generation, God herself…seemed to be smiling down upon them.

For the children…it was different. There was cement. There was stucco. There were fences…high fences…I became adept at scaling fences one after the other and circle a large part of adjoining properties…as a sort of individual protest against the isolation…rebellion against the separation… against the lack of knowledge about those living around one….

One might protest that I am making too big a deal about suburban living…after all, people have lived in urban areas for sometime now…and the suburbs were on a continuum with living in towns and cities in the past. Well, an anthropologist would object to such a short-sighted point of view…Human being have been living apart from primal bands for only about 5,000 years now…with the rise of the agricultural empires in the Middle East….Our bodies…psychology…are consistent with that primal way of life…Even more recently, humans have been living in small towns where everyone knew each other…or in cities where people lived next to each other in multiple dwellings…Yes, the suburbs were on a continuum with the past…but it represented a new extreme…as far as alienation is concerned…

In those oceans of houses….kids had to walk miles to have friends…well, there were bikes,…there were skates…but adults had little patience to drive kids to friends’ houses…they were on the road enough already…one-third of people’s waking hours seemed to be in a car as it was…As a consequence, most social interaction was institutional in nature where kids could be dropped off by car at a location for an activity that would be sufficient in duration and interaction to justify a parent’s trip….

like school, scouts, or church….Friendship was usually abstract and limited in space and duration…Well, it was an age of oil…gasoline was twenty-five cents a gallon…So according to Recardian economics…or organic physiology concerning the behavior and growth of molds…it was rational, even organically sound, for towns and cities to expand as population increased dramatically and transportation costs became minimal…Eventually, an elaborate complex of organic-plaster amalgam and circulation would evolve as the human organism spread in every direction according to travel times…vis-a-vis the center of the metropolitan areas. It seemed as if this cancerous-like spreading of the organism would ooze outward forever into an uncontrolled sprawl of sorts…which lost all sense of urgency when viewed from the satellites that would eventually circle the earth…. From that perspective, it became apparent that no more than four percent of the total area of the U.S. was actually urban…From this new aerial perspective, it became apparent that somehow…humanity indeed… was beginning to evolve backwards…from primitive bands…to a type of primitive multi-celled protoplasm….enmeshing humans into their tools…spreading fiercely upon the earth….

So this was the childhood experience of the hippies…an alienated culture…in which adult males worked at great distances from their residences for the largest part of the day…women worked in isolation in their homes…

and children were housed in a day-care sort of educational edifice for half of their waking hours….This was a lonely time…in which nuclear annihilation was expected…at any moment.

Here… I shall make an observation that shall conclude the next two sections also…There is no way that the statement can be made…contrary to what Theodore Roszak may have asserted…that any person who lived during the period 1960-1970…actually began to rebel against what had become an urban-industrial society…there was no way that any person that I knew…desired for humanity to return to the Darkness of the previous 1,500 years….Instead there was a learning process…experience from which conclusions could made…as to what might be done in the future to make society better…Vast affluence was good…there was no way anyone was going back…to the cave…It just seemed we had the opportunity to see where more and more affluence could lead…we could see that it would probably lead to diminishing returns…and actually produce some things…that were negative…in this case…the alienation of people…And as we are building the perfect world…of the future…we should start working back to a life where people live and work…in groups of loving, caring individuals…moving past this moment in history where humans are entrapped…in an artificial, alienated expanse of cement and stucco….

Affluence and Materialism

So as I say…this was a time of great affluence…a time of the rise of great corporations making every sort of thing inexpensively…One’s life began to be filled with objects…with commodities. It is granted that a certain minimum of material things is desired…is required for a minimum satisfactory sort of life…like food, clothing, and shelter. And it is the experience of history that ninety-nine percent of the population was always in need of more…of these essential things….Now there was new knowledge… There was diminishing returns to material abundance. First, there came alienation…Then second…it became apparent…that once a certain level of availability of ‘things’ was obtained…a new stage of human ascendance emerged…the desire…no, the necessity for some things…that are more than the material. Quality of things began to become important. For the first time…quality began to be associated with things provided by Nature…and for the first time quality because important…in the things produced by man and woman…

Corporations viewed Nature as input…which possessed little worth beyond what might be converted into profit…As corporations revved up their world-wide engines…it soon became apparent that resources are limited…which meant two things…first, increase in production would not, could not, occur forever… and second, a nation’s resources were Nature…which in most cases represented a Nature that was irreplaceable…and Lo! And Behold!… for the first time people were beginning to recognize what they really understood all along… that Nature itself possesses great value…in terms of quality of Life. The first alarming reminder of this fact…was the loss of fresh air…that is, a world army of cars marching to work every morning…was producing air filled with deleterious smog….Then there was a fragile level of warmth that was naturally available and necessary for existing humanity to continue its journey of Life on earth…too much carbon dioxide…too much warmth…Problems! There was a finite amount of clean ocean…soon to be filling with plastics…Then, as I say, it soon became apparent that there was a finite amount of resources themselves…The United States had spread from coast to coast…it had possessed a wonderland of resources…It had possessed enough oil, for example, to last centuries even with an explosion in the number of cars…But then came the World Wars..The U.S. won those Wars…by filling the sky with planes, the seas with ships, and the ground with vehicles….which consumed millions of barrels of oil…per hour! When we landed on the moon…the real discovery…was when we looked back…back at that blue ball of rock moving slowing in the black nothingness of space…What the earth possesses…is all we have!…It was time for society to take in account externalities…that is social costs caused by corporations that in the past were ignored in a rush towards greatest profits…but now represented great danger ahead…

Also what man and woman produced could be evaluated in terms of quality,…and quality usually was related to diminished profits…As I say sometimes there was benefit from producing nothing…just allowing portions of Nature to exist…Then there was ‘culture’…there are things that can be produced by humans…that are not desirable profit-wise but instead are related to quality of Life…in terms of aesthetic experience…As material abundance increases, there comes a point when, where quality of goods is related to quality and meaning of Life…desirable because they give reason for Living.

All of this was part of the hippie experience…growing up…in America during the 1950s and 60s…Again, there never was any thought of returning to the Dark Age that had been left behind…Industrial Revolution was not a bad thing…Two -thirds of the world still requires it…actually demands it…and this is a demand that must be met if the horror of world-wide terrorism is to be avoided….It is just that for developed countries a new stage in the progression of society had been reached…when quality of life in every aspect…beyond that of objects…beyond that of profit…began to be considered….

Hippies and College

So alienation, and materialism were important to the world of hippies as they were growing up. But surely the War in Vietnam had something to do with things,…one might abjure…Well, yes, of course…but not in the way one might think…Of course, young men were concerned about the draft…but one did not gain a platform and decry the immorality of bombing peasant villages because one fears death…No…one could avoid willingly signing up for service without pointing out to people one’s stand on the issue…No, there was something else about the War that was related to being in college and learning to utilized the human brain in a creative way…

You see, the human brain was designed to find and eat bananas…Well, you are right…the brain seems designed to do…way more than what a monkey can do…At some point for some reason the human brain…did gain the ability to create….create things besides babies…somehow, for some reason…But this capability does not come automatically…and there is a certain minimum ability that is required… regardless of whether a person is right or left hemispheric dominant in his or her brain. The fact is…for some reason, in general, the human brain has to be ‘tricked’ into developing ideas that are new…that are original…and this creativity like making babies is rewarded for some reason very well…very well indeed…with joy and happiness!…Such joy and happiness can only be reaped from a creative act…and there are only three kinds of such activity….physical creativity…that is, as I say, from having children…intellectual creativity…that is, creating ideas…well, mental tools…and Cosmic creativity…that is, taking an original idea and making something concrete… well, a physical tool…that can be used to impact the world around us….

Very few people in a society are able to to use their brains in a creative way…A few people are so smart that they just can start composing, painting, or writing books…but in general most people never develop this capability… that they actually have the potential of developing…For some reason, going to college can lead to such development…and curiously, it does not seem to be related to attendance at lectures or reading textbooks…there is something about….something in…the environment, the ambience around a student that seems to trigger originality…a sudden arrival of confidence… in the ability to develop ideas of one’s own…

So college is a key here…and the fact is…that for Americans…in the 1950s and 60s…well, for the world in general…college for so many was a new thing….According to the Census…at the beginning of the 20^th century, there were fewer than 1,000 colleges, with 160,000 students in the U.S. Explosive growth in the number of colleges occurred in bursts…especially in the the period 1900-1930 and during 1950-1970. The Gross National Product of the United States…doubled in real terms…between 1950-1970. The number of bachelor degrees conferred during this time…rose from 432,000 to 827,000. Of course, the number of kids actually attending college was much higher… approximately ten tines higher..In 1955 there were about 3.5 million college students in the U.S….in 1979. around 8.5 million…..This trend has continued….until at the present time…in 2021… close to fifty percent of young people are receiving some sort of college instruction…The Internet is partly responsible for this high level of participation…the rapid expansion of community college systems…is another.

As I say…what it is about college that might introduce one to a new world of creativity…is not obvious…As I think back…the potent ambience that surrounds the University…seems to involve older students and professors that one might talk to…well, in the instance of the topic now under discussion…these ‘talks’ quickly became a hippie form…that of ‘pot parties’…In ‘talks’ such as these…older more experienced chaps who had already learned how to ‘trick’ the beast would not so much instruct a younger person in that art…as they would instead just start haranguing and incessantly badger on certain topics until one just had to take a point of view…and respond….

Or…one could be enticed into starting to read…After all, one of the prominent features of every great University…is its library…and one can simply just spend a lot of time there in his or her own isolated personal carrell in the stacks…I was going to U.C. Davis..but I was given a pass from my professors to utilize the library at U.C. Berkeley….My first month there…I read all of Nietzsche…moving left to right…quickly devouring an entire shelf…These great authors, writers, of course, have great ideas…but most also have the knack..of instructing you… by example…in the art of thought…You can see exactly how Bertrand Russell comes to his conclusions…and I realized then that my mind was not built his way…Nietzsche and Hegel were another matter…I knew immediately what they were talking about…and I was stunned…I realized instantly that my philosophy professor, as astute and enlightened as he was…had not the foggiest notion as to what these two men were saying…My brain worked like some of these guys…Berkeley, Hume, Lock, and not like others….Plato, Descartes, Leibnitz, Kant….[see my minibook on Goethe and Hemispheric Dominance in the Brain…soon to appear.]

Well, first I just read…then I began to agree or disagree with what I was reading…If I agreed …well, it was probably that at first I had not an idea in my head….then gradually I began to become angry….yes, irate at times…That goddam guy is just…wrong! That was the first step towards… well, away from the banana…The next step was more difficult…I had to come up with a reason that that writer was wrong…I had to come up with my own Truth…and then it was that I realized…that there are those…it was Nietzsche in my case…who have prodded a person unto his or her first step….Nietzsche is a young man or woman’s philosopher…one is excoriated, almost forced by verbal assault… well, written verbal attack…to forget all that one has learned…to start with a clean slate…and by god…find your own goddam Truth!

Well, either through talking or reading, I believe…a student suddenly becomes someone else…He…and of course, She…She’s were becoming important in the hippie world….Well, in the instance of the topic which I am presently addressing…he or she…became…a hippie…mainly as a result of this collegiate process …Yes, there were childhood experiences that helped shape a person such that he was susceptible to becoming a hippie…but more than anything else…it was the college experience that created…a Hippie… with a capital H…..He…She…was quickly becoming a thinking person… some sort of philosopher!

I believe it is no accident that college and demonstrations became synonymous during the 60s…the parents of such children could not recognize their own flesh and blood…Well, in most cases, the parents had not gone to college…Their children had entered a new world…not just in terms of their family history…but in terms…of the history of the world!…Never had so many been equipped with the ability to create the new…to actively oppose anyone.. including those in charge…with ideas newly created…ideas of their own which could often stand the test of scrutiny and debate…

Again the hippies may have sported clothing resembling primitives of old…But no one…and I mean no one…was willing to go back into some massive Dark Age…any time soon…It is just…that things now…well, yes, they were good… but they could be better….

Conclusion

So my conclusion is that college was essential to the making…of a Hippie….It is shocking that someone has not come up with this perspective concerning Hippiedom before. The appearance of the Hippie upon the scene… their appearance in history…. underscores the need for an entire revamping of our education system. In the past the ability to use the creative potential of one’s brain might have been discouraged because…well, there simply was no time. Life was short and brutal… to quote some idiot…Well, it was Darkness for too long and people were lucky to survive…let alone squander precious hours in thought…The encouraging thing now…in 2021…is that close to half of young people are being able to benefit from some type of college instruction mid their hectic lives…mainly as a result of on-line schooling…Of course, as we have just seen in this minibook, there is a problem with such learning at a distance…as it is the ambience of the University experience that seems to be most crucial…That is, exposure to and verbal interaction with upper-class people and professors…and access to the greatest libraries in the world…both are essential to the unleashing of the Powers of the human brain. It is this unstructured but crucial ambience aspect of college that our parents may actually have been paying for all along…

Yes, unlocking, unleashing the potentialities of the human brain is what is at stake here….Of course…it should be the fundamental goal of education in general anyway…period! The rote memory of grades K-12 does not touch this. I remember when I graduated from high school…I realized that I had learned absolutely nothing in thirteen years of school. In college things have to change…if one is to benefit from the experience. ..and as I say…lecture halls and text books are supposed to stimulate a person to actually begin to think…but they are not…nearly enough! Yes, there is a spectrum of mental ability…not everyone is a genius…but creativity is not an individual act…. it is a group effort ultimately…and soon…everyone with every level and type of ability can and should be involved in the creative process…in some way…and we need to learn how to undertake such group effort…early!

We are finding that thought…real thought…creative thought…is a catagion. And we do in this instance, in this conversation about Hippiedom…require…actually require…a pandemic…. Creative ability…breeds creativity…I remember my first week at the University…my first friends were two juniors…One said…’Avoid the social sciences…They are Mickey Mouse.’ These eight words changed my life. Actually I disregarded his advice…I majored in economics and economic history…which were two…of those ‘soft’ sciences….But for the rest of my life…I have been pursuing the development of …The Science of Everything…I have been endeavoring to make the social sciences and the humanities…respectable subjects…to be studied…I have taken the first steps towards placing these subjects on a biological base… After all, we are animals now…as if this has been some sort of recent transformation…or something!…But the idea of that continuity…that Onesness… of all Life…has been transforming.. as a result of which…we now are building a science of man and woman…in which the social sciences and the humanities…can begin to talk to each other…because they now can all use the same language…and the same investigative methods…and…they in turn…can talk to the biological and physical sciences…All disciplines now…can work as one…to build the future!

Why are children made to memorize ideas by rote? Why are not abilities associated with right and left hemispheric dominance in their brains identified and developed?…Why are not kids with different abilities working in groups in creative play and thought…from pre-school forth?….Why are the awesome potential powers of the human brain left unlocked…unleashed?

…Somehow our brains must be ‘tricked’…. into doing what Nature has somehow endowed us with…Why is not the fire…the fury…of the creative imagination…the Power of human brains enticed to emerge….stride forth? …to explode?…allowed, encouraged, trained to begin building together?… to begin building a glorious future…together?

It all began around the Hippie fire…a fire with ions surging upwards..

possessing consciousness…a consciousness that is looking right back at you…

Brothers and Sisters…Family…One blood…

Finally, after all these years….the real revolution…is here! It has to do with education. It has to do…with building the future. Please read my book…Omicron Blue...on Amazon…It costs almost nothing…And it shows a world…where Hippiedom …can one day take us.

Start a Creative Cluster today…Join us!…Together we can build…the Twenty-first Century!

THE END

“Existentialism. A relatively large word. A distinguished word. An impressive word if it is dropped into conversation at the proper moment. But what does this word mean, when it is deflated of its pomposity? Supposedly existentialism is opposed to essentialism. That is, while essentialism is devoted to the essence or essential form of an object in the external world, existentialism is concerned with its existence, that is, with its content. Well, I suppose one could stand back and state the obvious… that existence and essence are clearly related to the two hemispheres in the brain, the left which is endowed with an analytical ability and the talent to delineate forms, while the right is conceptual and develops content. But then our age is not very interested in matters which are of little use.

‘Another way to reflect upon existentialism is to consider the turmoil in which it was born. Existentialism was born in Europe at a time when industrial revolution was sweeping the Continent. Machines were profoundly changing the economic landscape of European society, demolishing the Habsburg old… creating the British new. Among that which was new was a conviction, an emotion which had been in decline for centuries before… that conviction, that emotion… was hope. For the first time in centuries man and woman again began to feel themselves to be the masters of events and no longer insignificant, impotent pawns. In this rush of hope and new capability, man and woman…felt that the old now could be completely discarded … God, knights, romantic love, chastity, castles,…all could be cast aside in one sweep. As events proved, however, such optimism was premature, for too much of the old yet remains with us, even though our lives have changed so much… that we now bespeak of ourselves as modern man and woman. The truth is… that while a small part of our lives has changed tremendously, the rest of the spectrum of our society remains doggedly the same. Thus, has it been that the exuberant age of existentialism quickly bloomed, then died and disintegrated into our present age of gloom and despair.’

It was the fourth Sunday in August. White clouds had sailed above throughout the summer. Now dark clouds began to gather and light rain fell for over a week as the first signs of autumn began to appear. Omicron and Aura hiked up the hills around and behind the University…to the top where there was a lake. The rain was coming down gently but steadily.

Despite the weather, Omicron was still in high spirits after his musical triumph. There were so many things he wanted to do now. There was so much to think about. Aura had been reluctant to travel very far in the inclement weather, but Omicron’s spirits and banter persuaded her to go. As they approached the protected area where the lake lay, the Light diffused through the clouds and reflected in such a way that the lake seemed to be as clear as crystal.

‘Well, now that I have your undivided attention for a few minutes, after all your past glories and such,’ said Aura. ‘I would wish to consult you concerning the wedding which is to be. And soon to be, I might add.

‘Now this wedding is scheduled for a week from now, you know. The food is all ordered. It was no big thing, Mom just pushed some buttons. Dad will realize the import of the occasion when he has to pay for it out of his energy surpluses, but then that is one of the privileges of having a beautiful daughter like me.

‘Now I am shopping for clothes for the wedding and for times immediately thereafter. So you need to order yourself a tuxedo, and then we must select rings. I have searched the catalogs until I am blue in the face. We need to go to the Creative Center and see these things in person.’

‘I guess I haven’t been much help…’ Omicron said, ‘with the musical and all. But as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t matter. None of it. We could get married in the all-together for all I care.’

‘Omicron, such madness. This marriage is not for us. It is for our families and for our larger families, our bands, our tribes, the nation.

‘We are One now. But a wedding is the only way our tribes can really express their Love and caring for us and also sanction the marriage. In your tribe, the community must sanction the marriage before we are allowed to bring children into the world. In my tribe, we must be functioning like good chimpanzees before blessings will be bestowed. Our tribes must sanction the marriage… for it is only by virtue of the sustaining help and Love of our communities that we shall be able to prosper and Live productive Lives. It is only by virtue of our tribal communities… that we may progress from physical, to intellectual, to the Cosmic levels of Life, to use the terminology of your tribe…well, of all of our tribes… Communities at higher and higher levels… tribe, nation, country, world… become more and more essential as progress is made. So we have to put our bow ties and our bloomers on and sing our May Song together.’

‘Come on, Aura, Love,’ said Omicron. ‘It is August, not May, we have already sung our songs. Let’s toss our clothes and go swimming.’

‘Not on your life, my mad lover. You’ll freeze jumping into that ice. Then you’ll die of hypothermia when you crawl out.’

However, Omicron was full of happiness and Love and in his shorts dove into the sparkling water. The moment he crashed through the crystal surface he knew he had made a mistake. The water was shallower than he had thought and filled with weeds. He had to struggle to the top to keep from becoming entangled on the bottom. The water was so cold that his body was in shock. He could not climb out of the water in the rocky areas from which he had dived. He frantically struck with arms and legs as he tried to batter his way to shore. When he reached the shore, his legs became tangled in weeds and his feet were cut on sharp stones on the floor. Aura ran out as far as she could and helped him back onto the ground.

‘Well that should show you, Omicron. You nearly killed yourself. Now get back into your clothes before you turn blue.’

‘That water was sure inviting,’ Omicron replied, his teeth chattering, ‘but when I got inside, it nearly swallowed me up.’

They stumbled away from the water together, Omicron gaining warmth in Aura’s arms. They moved about a hundred yards…to a recess in the side of a hill…where they huddled together…Omicron started a fire with his laser lighter, utilizing dead pieces of scrub oak they hastily gathered nearby. When he was dry and warm, they turned downward through the hills, Omicron holding Aura close to him around the waist.

When they approached the Jasmines’ cluster, Candace ran out shouting that a message had just been received for Omicron on Cerebrum from Washington D.C. They hurried inside and Omicron punched his code into the console and pushed the print button. The message was displayed and printed simultaneously:

Mr. Omicron Blue,

The musical written by the Dionysus group of the Golden Sun Tribe has been reviewed by representatives of our office and has been approved for full production. A time for negotiation of terms and signing of contracts will be set during the coming week.

The United States Music Academy

Omicron jumped for joy, grabbed and kissed Aura, and danced through the cluster. He hugged Aura’s mother, and shook hands with Philemon.

‘Well, this is it, Aura,’ he said half humorously. ‘Now I’m going to the top. There will be lots of money. But best of all I’ll be a name and I can write for the Academy in the future for a salary and won’t have to supplement my artistic salary with scientific work on the side. There will be the nationwide tours, of course. We’ll go to all the Creative Centers and see the premiers and be presented to the audiences. We’ll have the best talent and equipment to work with… that the country has to offer. We’ll be rich and famous!’

He raced over to the terminal and pushed several buttons. In seconds, a bottle of champagne appeared and toasts were drunk by all.

That evening Omicron walked alone by the Bay. The moon cut through the clouds to illuminate land and water in a mosaic of dim Light and shadows. Omicron was depressed. Yes, he had triumphed. He had been given what he always had dreamed of. However, suddenly his Life seemed dark and gloomy. There would be money, perhaps fame and a guaranteed Livelihood. He could write music all day and night if he desired. However, he knew it was wrong. The good news was superficial glitter and appearance. In reality, he knew that he belonged with Aura at the University and not in New York. Also he belonged in the world and not off in an ivory castle writing music. He strode quickly up the nearest hill. He surveyed a panorama illuminated with a ghastly Light.

‘I must keep my gaze upon the True and Just,’ he yelled to the Bay below him. ‘I must do what is Right no matter what temptations appear to entice me.’

Before him he saw ‘a field that a half-clouded moon illuminated with a vague twiLight.’ It was the symbol of Cosmic step 18… Deceptions. ‘A tower stood on each side of a path that disappears into a barren landscape. In front of one of these two towers a dog is crouching: in front of the other, a dog is baying at the moon: between them is a crab. These towers symbolize the false security which does not foresee hidden perils.

‘On the physical level, this step represents deceptions and hidden enemies. On the intellectual level, it signifies the darkness that cloaks the Spirit when it submits itself to the power of the instincts. On the Cosmic level, it expresses the abysses of the Infinite.

‘Remember, son of Earth, that whosoever dares to confront the unknown faces death. The hostile spirits, symbolized by one dog, wait in ambush… the servile spirits, symbolized by the other, conceal their treacheries with base flattery… and the idle spirits, symbolized by the crab, will pass by without the slightest concern for disaster. Observe, listen… and learn to keep your own counsel.’

The answer is easy, he thought, as he composed a letter to the Academy in his mind. My future is here with my Love, what e’re betide us. Aura and I will be going to school here. One must keep his eyes on True principles… or he is easily and quickly lost.

He then strode down the hill, which was covered with flowers. A few birds joined the chorus of Nature… as Omicron with lighter step hurried home to his Love.

The scientists is proud of his objectivity…his reliance upon meticulous empirical verification
to obtain Truth…But who is doing the validating?  Who is scrutinizing the data?
The answer to this takes us to the mysticism and magic of the shaman.
The I.     The Science of the I.    The Power and Connection…of the I.

This is a Minibook…..Instead of expressing an idea and then blowing the number of pages up, up towards three hundred just so we can charge $25 as is currently the fashion, we are presenting the kernel of an idea….in the hopes that ideas can be transmitted more rapidly and breakthroughs can occur now, not next century. There is a fifty percent chance that humanity will not make it through this century….it is important that we make as much progress as fast as we can…so as to avoid an untimely demise.

Introduction 1

The Great Unknowns

This is the first of three minibooks that I am putting on our blog on our website….one at a time…during this year of pendemic…Most of what is in these minibooks has been presented elsewhere…in other minibooks or several of my longer books…I am presenting these ideas again here for a new audience…because I just read a fabulous book written by Marcus Du Sautoy… The Great Unknowns… Seven Journeys to the Frontiers of Space ( 2016). Du Sautoy is a professor of mathematics and the Simonyl Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford. Du Sautoy has found seven great problems in the curriculum…which must be confronted and conquered…if humanity is to progress satisfactorily in, into the future. …I would say…they must be confronted and conquered…if man and woman…are to survive this century. These seven great problems are the following….

Chaos...How can we really really know something?…and in particular the emergence of Life….In some models the chance for the emergence of Life is like throwing dice…and having them land on a six…36 times in a row…The emergence of Life seems to be of upmost importance to Du Sautoy…as far as the problem of chaos is concerned…..I have a hypothesis that addresses this the emergence of Life….that can be found in a minibook, available on this website..on this topic…Actually, this problem of the emergence of Life…collapses into another problem on his list…Consciousness….Because of this…this minibook on Consciousness pretty much addresses everything that concerns Du Sautoy…when it comes to what is really important…about chaos.

Matter...Will we ever know what quarks and electrons are made of?

I think we can use my Science of Everything to help answer that question…I will tell you about my new Science…The Science of Everything…in this minibook…as well, as my new Scientific Method…What is the Science of Everything…Well, because man and woman are now officially recognized as being animals…then the social sciences and the humanities…must be now placed on a biological base…Fro example…when philosophy is placed on a biological base…we realize that this discipline… is actually the examination of the brain… from the inside out…Philosophy becomes…an empirical Science!…As we shall see…my hypothesis is… that our I is a hydrogen ion… ‘looking out’…So we are ‘looking out’ from the center of an atom…What do we see?…I see only energy…no strings attached!… ho ho…No particles within particles….

Quantum Physics,..I’ll come back to this…

The Universe…Du Sautoy is concerned here with the study of the Cosmos and considerations concerning the beginning of Time…I think we have a pretty good idea of how and when the universe was created….How, why and what came before …we shall never know…so this is probably a True unknowable…. However, I am not certain that answering this conundrum…is actually vital to the survival…of our species….So for me…this is a non-problem…to be solved.

Time…This problem is actually part of our consideration of relativity…I’ll come back to this one…

Consciousness.….I’ll come back to this one….

Infinity.…This great problem is actually part of the consideration of The Universe again….The universe is finite…. but expanding…into god knows what or where….into an infinity we shall never know…this is the same question as to what came before the universe…same question, same conclusion… The search for an answer to this problem…is not essential for us.

So we are really left with three questions we can deal with…that we need…to deal with….Quantum Physics… Time… that is, Relativity,…, and Consciousness….…These are problems that must be solved now…if humanity is to survive this century…During the past fifty-five years, I have come up with some ideas in these three areas…As I have said…I am now going to put three minibooks on these topics…on this site on this blog one at a time…beginning with this one on Consciousness…that sum up what I have come up with …thinking about these challenges…as of this date…I agree with Du Sautoy…these are three of the most important problems to be solved…right now…We must all work on these and try to solve them as fast as possible….There has been little progress for the past 100 years. This effort will take both sides of the brain….not just the mathematical side. It is important for all us working in Creative Clusters to confront these problems ourselves….Universities simply do not have the funds to do the requisite research….All of us working together… can increase research thousands of times…Let’s go!

Introduction 2

Consciousness

As I have said…in the 1970s I wrote a book, Man and the Cosmos…. an updated version was published in 2018…in which I placed the social sciences on a biological base…When I wrote this book…suddenly we had many new sciences concerning man and woman…that could talk to each other… and could address problems encountered in the physical and biological sciences as well. When I addressed the problems related to relativity from the perspective of my new Science of Everything… to scientists back in the 1970s…they just said… ‘Sorry but we are just at the beginning of things here…just give us a little time and everything will become clear.’…People said that my ideas …were ahead of their time…Well, it has been 55 years now and science has not moved an inch…in these vital areas….We are stuck in a morass… and cannot move forward….We are running out of time…it is said that humanity only has a fifty percent chance of surviving the 21^st century…and twenty years are already gone in this new century! Yes, great things have been done in the recent past… yet we must understand that all of this modernity that humans are so proud of…and have been taking for granted…. is very, very new…great music has been written only in the last 300 years…Scientists at commencement celebrations… still wear the robes of the clergy….

Okay, so I have given science 55 years to show me where I am wrong when it comes to the question of relativity…and in the past 15 years I have come up with ideas concerning Consciousness and quantum mechanics…The book by Du Sautoy presents the State of the State… of Confusion…when it comes to these three great questions… I am sorry to say….He simply has to throw up his hands throughout the book…Everywhere you look…when we attempt to build the 21^st century… it appears that we are still on square one…As far as Consciousness is concerned…some people in the neural sciences are attempting to duplicate the human brain using computers…there has been no progress attempting to create consciousness…

Science cannot progress until we clear the black-white board and start in a new direction…with all the colors!…In this book I am looking at Consciousness…As I have said…I made breakthroughs in my thinking on this subject…fifteen years ago…..In 1900 we thought we were in a completely new world…that Industrial Revolution had given us…So naturally writers, philosophers…and scientists thought… Yes! A new world!…now we can move from Newton… to Stravinsky, Joyce, Einstein, Heisenberg out into the new…Instead we took a wrong turn…We are seemingly left in the void…of Outer Space…A survey of people around the globe…has revealed…that most people feel…that the development of the atomic bomb…was a tremendous mistake! Industrial Revolution…the glorious mantel of Newtonian science gave us two disastrous wars…that consumed oil that should have lasted centuries, gave us horrendous death and destruction…and an utopian post-war suburban world that has polluted and threatened the future of humanity on this blue sphere… moving in black space…all alone…

So, Consciousness….I have presented what immediately follows…. several times before in other places…but for some of you this is the first time…so let us review…For others…you may skip to new sections of this minibook…

So…what is an I particle?…I believe that every atom has an I…Just as you have something ‘looking out’….I believe that every atom has a particle within it…capable of…’looking out’. Scientists are forbad contemplating such things….However, as I have said elsewhere…six different disciplines and areas of thought I have studied…point toward such a hypothesis….The fight against cancer has been throttled because crucial steps have been blocked…I believe that this fight can gain renewed vigor…if the power of the I … is allowed to open the way….I know this hypothesis concerning the I…is surprising ….but science is being slowed in recent decades because of the futility of our instruments….things are either too small….or too fast to be measured correctly….or be discerned at all. I have proposed the use of an interdisciplinary approach to overcome the inadequacies of our instruments. We need a new Science…and we need a new Scientific Method….When we utilize these new tools….we uncover surprising things!

A Cosmic Theology and The Science of Everything

When we are thinking about consciousness…let us begin with philosophy and theology….In my book, Man and the Cosmos.…I have a chapter entitled…’Man, Woman, and a Cosmic Theology.’ That chapter begins with the following ideas…

The strategy of the seventeenth century French philosopher, René Descartes (1596-1656), was important in my organizing Man and the Cosmos …He believed that one should begin with what is most ‘clear and distinct’ to his or her mind…and then proceed outwards into the world…When he considered what was most ‘clear and distinct’ to his mind…he proclaimed…’I think; therefore, I am.’ What he began with…was his mind…That is,…things in his mind …were more clear…and distinct to him… compared to things external to it. Therefore, when I reexamined the social sciences…well, we know we are animals now… we look at DNA…we can see that humans are 99.3 percent identical to chimpanzees. If this is True…and it is…regardless of what Donald Trump might say…then the social sciences must be restudied and placed on a biological base. Such an empowered Science of Man and Woman is urgently needed in a century in which there is a fifty percent chance that human civilization as we know it…may be extinguished.

As I say…utilizing the Science of Everything…we have come up with an astonishing hypothesis….It appears that every atom in the Cosmos…possesses Consciousness!…If there is theological precursor for our ideas…then it is shamanism…a world-wide religion that existed 30,000 years ago. That theology held the belief…that Consciousness exists in all Living things…That primitive Cosmic theology was confused by the practice of utilizing hallucinations brought about by food and sensory deprivation in the arctic regions where that theology arose…These practices spread worldwide, utilizing the application of drugs in warmer areas to induce hallucinations. This religion was based on the concept of ‘spirits,’ which were seen in hallucinatory trances…which led to the religions found world-wide today. Shamanism is consistent with our Cosmic theology in that it believes that Consciousness exists in all things…It is different because it believes that much of the ‘plant-animal’ world goes to a ‘spirit world’ after death…A shaman in a trance…often has a spirit guide animal who helps him…or her!… traverse the spirit world…to heal sickness, control the weather, or influence the hunt…and visit relatives and friends of those in a community… Shamanism seems to deal mainly with fear that exists in a hostile environment in which people may Live…and with the fear of Death and loss of Loved ones….

A Cosmic theology such as ours…is similar to shamanism in another way,…it also identifies two spheres….the plant/animal sphere….and the Cosmic sphere….However, we see one sphere built up out of the other….The Cosmic sphere is composed of particles… well, a Sea of Energy…that can form vortexes of confined waves of energy…called particles….That sphere of Energy confined within particles….possesses its own basic Laws and principles such as Equality of entities, Truth, Beauty, Will, and Love….The plant-animal sphere built from these particles represents a second level…with its own priorities such as survival of the fittest and avoidance of Death in general….Entities in the Cosmic world are eternal…Death is not an issue….As abhorrent as Death is to the plant-animal world… that world actually is rife with Death…much of it in fact is built upon it….There is only one sun…as far as our plant-animal world is concerned…All Energy in plant-animal Life comes from it…so if entities do not convert sun into energy, they must eat each other to obtain that Energy…In shamanism the difference between these two spheres is blurred…in the hopes of ameliorating the fear of Death…Shamans have constructed a theology that allows the plant-animal Life to continue in a way…somewhere else…after Death….

In our conception of things…the plant-animal sphere and the Cosmic spheres intersect every day…in that many of the concepts from the Cosmic world, such as Equality, Truth, Beauty, Will and Love…are valid and Powerful when utilized in the plant-animal world in relationships among people and nations….They intersect also in the fact that it seems that one priority of the plant-animal world is to find one other individual…to Connect closely with… This close intimate association with another individual is usually in a sexual relationship that produces offspring…A close Connection between two entities in the plant-animal world is usually indispensable in meeting the needs of plant-animal life based upon replication….Plant-animal Life is transient…a species must reproduce to survive….Such a deep, close sexual connection in the plant-animal world…is actually similar to the Cosmic conception of Love….Will is Cosmic Power which propels Cosmic activity….Love is Cosmic Connection which unites Cosmic activity in Law…Love is Form which contains, restrains Will and Power….Close relationships on earth, even if they are momentary for some animals…might provide Connection between I‘s that is so close and tight…that the binding of these particles and entities may continue after plant-animal Death… Consciousness never Dies in the Cosmic world…yet what occurs on earth may impact what happens to entities after plant-animal Death….Close, intimate Connections on earth…might allow I‘s to remain in the Light…in active parts of the universe in a Cosmic eternity….and not be condemned to remain in realms of dark energy and dark matter in the universe…condemned to darkness and restricted activity…forever….

As we say…our hypothesis concerning the I.…that is, concerning the Cosmic sphere…that all atoms possess Consciousness… rises from a Science of Everything…in which the disciplines concerning man and woman are placed on a biological base and become one with the physical and biological sciences…In this way all disciplines can work together, talk to each other…

When we possess such a Science…we can then utilize a new Scientific Method..that can supplement, assist the existing Scientific Method which emphasizes empirical verification of hypotheses…to obtain Truth.. When our instruments are too weak to examine things that are too small..or too fast…then we can reach a probability of Truth….utilizing several disciplines at once….a curriculum of disciplines that has now been expanded with our new Science…The social sciences…that is, the science of man and woman…are no longer…’Mickey Mouse’…that is, they are no longer relatively impotent… when it comes to solving the great problems…that are confronting us….When the probability of something being True reaches about 85 percent…then experiments can be made which might cost millions of dollars which might be justified to provide circumstantial evidence that can raise the probability of something being True…even higher…Then a new hypothesis might be used so get things done…and success in this might actually confirm the hypothesis itself…

When our new Science…and new Scientific Method are utilized…then there are several disciplines and areas of thought that can speak to the possibility of the existence of the I in all Living things…these disciplines include….philosophy, evolutionary biology, the cosmology of physics, neurological science, the biology of the cell, and Cosmic theology. When I utilize the word ‘cosmos’ with a capital ‘C’…I am referring to a cosmos…filled…with consciousness. When I capitalize other words…I am referring to ideas that a part of that Cosmic sphere…Life is capitalized because it possesses a sphere of its own…Death is capitalized because it is so feared and abhorrent to human beings….Scientists are reluctant to pursue research that may be contaminated by the ideas of a mediaeval Church much less a viewpoint that is pantheistic, animistic in nature. However, it would be tragic, no, way more than tragic…if a cure for cancer were to be long delayed because of things right before them…that they are not allowed to touch. With this in mind…let us consider Consciousness…what it is…how is it possible for the I in me….to be ‘looking out’.

As I say….we think of ourselves as being so thoroughly modern… yet there is Truth in ideas that have been discarded…I know…we are trying to move out from a Dark Age…there are so many ideas and institutions that have placed a stranglehold on pulses of Energy towards progress, towards a bright future for man and womankind…and those negative forces still abound …There is Creationism, there is Donald Trump…the world seems to be bolting off at full speed into the beautiful blue of the future…yet so many ideas and practices are still there..slowing progress….A large part of modern society is seemingly being left further and further behind with archaic ideas….This is tearing the fabric of society apart…It would be easier to get everyone on board if science were moving smoothly…but ideas that we proudly champion as being modern have encountered obstacles…new breakthroughs are needed and ironically we must not let our deprecation of certain ideas from the past… hold us back…perhaps we should take a second and review things…perhaps some things we have thrown on the junk pile actually may possess diamonds of thought that can help us break through and fly into the future….

We have Power that most scientists do not have. We have the Science of Everything…in which all the social sciences and humanities have been placed on a biological base….When it comes to philosophy, we see that such an esoteric body of thought, is actually just looking at the brain…from the inside out!…We have an I….We have empirical knowledge about that I...just from our ‘looking out’…What can we learn..from this new!? perspective? Where will this new knowledge…lead us?

The I

The seventeenth century French philosopher, Rene Descartes (1596-1656) wrote…’I think; therefore, I am.’ Well, I am not the first person who has gone through all of this …What Descartes probably meant was…that he was making an empirical observation…he was looking…at his brain…from the inside out!…And he came up with an empirical observation that sneaks up on a person…then you realize that it is hard evidence…And just as he was able to deduce a whole philosophy from this one hard fact…this one sentence…this one syllogism…we too can start with it…and hypothesize amazing things.

The startling observation that Descartes made…was new…somehow, no one had really noticed it before…Each person on earth is in a position to make this observation…and we all do…yet in a sense we just shrug it off and continue on our way. What he observed was...I am thinking, I am seeing, I am acting…I am inspecting the world around me. That I is different from my ordinary I…it is an I coupled with an idea…a revolutionary idea…That idea is ….that I have empirical evidence that there is a part of me…that is different from everything else around me…at least to begin with…There is a part or me that is surprisingly important…an idea that Lives in my private thoughts….I would never share such an egotistic thought with even my closest friends….There is a part of me that can elevate me to the lofty seat of a king or queen…maybe like a small god….Gee…what is this thing?… We all could use a thing like that…and we all have it….Okay,, what it is…is an idea…that there is something inside of me…that is Cosmic… probably eternal. Why would I think something like this?…because I…I…dammit…am ‘looking out! I...am the center of the world…I…am the center…of the whole damn Cosmos!

I am…I exist…and this is not merely a illusion caused by some motley collection of neurons. I am ‘looking out’…and this fact is incontrovertible. As I say…I am the center of the world. I am like a god. Such a realization obviously leads to an enthusiastic acquisition of self respect….All of this is a bit blasphemous … no, it is a whole lot blasphemous!…600 years ago…I could well have been burnt at the stake for having the audacity to say such a thing.

However, it appears that the whole thing is True…and, the whole thing is startling! Why are we so humble? We each think…know…that we…I…am the eyes…that we…are the I‘s… of the universe. If we are extinguished…if all I‘s are extinguished…the universe would disappear…Bishop George Berkeley has worked through all of this….But he missed the most important part…Yes, as he said…everything is relative because our I‘s are all in different positions with respect to the world around us…and all perception must be adjusted for differences in perspective….But he missed the most important thing…what Descartes saw right there…at the beginning of his philosophy…Everything is different from me…from my perspective….because I have an I….that is ‘looking out’.

We are humble, because our experience is…well, we have experience… we can look around and make generalizations…First, we conjecture that other organisms, such as our friends…well;, some of these seem to be more like animals than others…yet I do digress…Other organisms, may have I‘s also…though we can never be completely certain….What I mean is…I am the center of the universe…Is it True…that each of my friends…feels the same way!?….This is crazy…We can never be fully in another person’s shoes…yet it would appear that each he and she…possesses an I just like mine…Therefore each she, he…must think…that he, she…is the center of everything, too….I would have never thought…That person!…thinks he, she, it…is as important as I…the nerve!…But it must be the case…all of these I‘s…And what it must mean…is inexplicable!

Well, that is a conundrum we must leave alone..because like Descartes, there is only one Truth we really know is True…really, really know is True…and that…is that…I…anyway, for sure…am ‘looking out’. Yes…that is for sure…The rest of you….God bless you… are on your own.

Let us move on to a second point we can address more confidently…We can see that all Life Dies…always…so we shall, also. Thus, it appears that our I will be annihilated…and there is nothing we can do about it. What we are forgetting is that we have empirical evidence of another possibility…another Truth. We have an I...and we are the center of everything. If this I were expanded trillions and trillions of times…that great I…would be a god. It seems that an I….is too important to be extinguished…it is a gut feeling that we have…We shall come back to this.

Given the startling realization that every animal on earth has an I like mine…’looking out’…this gives us a hunch that we can empirically verify our hypothesis…about the I…because we have reason to believe that this I in our brain… is a particle….Yes…and if the I...is indeed a particle …then there is a possibility that we can prove our hypothesis scientifically at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN…..What do we know about this I…so that we shall know what we are looking for when we start running experiments on particles?….Well, if we are looking at particles…then the I is not ‘spirit’ like the shamans came up in hallucinogenic trances…what do we know about this I?

The I and Will

So I have an I….Does all Life …when I refer to organisms in the plant/animal sphere….Does all Life…have an I….No…Well, animals do… and plants don’t. Well, that is not quite right…but we’ll come back to this…The change, the difference between plants and animals began with plankton…probably tininnadae …That is, at first, planktons were plants…they floated on or beneath the sea…they all were passive. Suddenly some plankton became active…Well, they seem to have kept both abilities…for a while…For a time…they possessed the ability to obtain energy from the sun…and also in a new way….obtain energy indirectly from the sun….by eating other things…So plants…began to move!…they began too search for food…they began to avoid predators…this tremendous change in behavior occurred with little change in plankton DNA…Something was added that was of major significance in itself…A plant suddenly acquired the ability…to impact the Ocean world around it….A plant suddenly…acquired….Will!…. What was added physiologically to the plankton…must have had abilities capabilities of its own….it had to be able to perceive, think, and act…it required only the addition of a few appendages in a plankton to empower these innate abilities…to transform these abilities operating in a minute way into a way that was larger….probably not a whole lot larger to begin with….Evolution transformed these minute abilities into empowered ones..into ‘behavior’… of an organism. The I in plankton somehow ‘called forth’…allowed the formation of….brain. It allowed the evolution of the brain around that minute I….It allowed plants to change into full fledged animals… It allowed organisms to become active, aggressive…instead of passive…It increased organisms’ chances for survival.

When one speaks of cognition, one says that it is like turning on a Light…when one speaks of intellect…of knowledge…we say..let there be Light. That is why at first it was tempting to conjecture that I‘s are photons. This possibility is even more interesting…as photons are able to combine and become One…which would allow us to jump ahead in our thinking… individual I’s might combine to become god-like I‘s in stars and nebulae… Our heads were spinning with the possibilities that Light might have..if photons were I particles. We’ll come back to these ideas.

But at this point we were thinking…but .photons don’t have the components necessary to perceive, think, and act…the abilities that I‘s impart to plankton….so it is more likely that fully enabled I‘s are in atoms, and that every atom has one. Suddenly, it dawned on me that this I particle could be a hydrogen ion….because if an atom loses its electrons, that is, it becomes an ion…then its nucleus is ‘revealed’…and it would be able to interact with the external world….A hydrogen ion is able to lose its one electron the easiest… and traces of streams of hydrogen ions …working in a seemingly almost Conscious manner…can be seen working…way back to the origins of Life…The processes involved in the emergence of Life…seem to have been captured in this modern age as artifacts…as relics…in the leaves of plants as photosynthesis….

So let us think this through….If a particle is to be a fully empowered I particle… then it must do more than just sit there…’looking out’…It must perceive, think, and act. Thus an I particle must have components linked to it that can perform these functions. Perhaps quarks in an atom could perform these functions. So an atom could have a particle yet to be discovered… maybe like a p particle…that could be ‘looking out’…and is empowered by the three quarks that exist in every atom…The quarks…although two have similar spins…may perform different functions…thus, each atom may have the potential to do a lot…if the conditions are right. Why don’t we notice more of these Powers…when we examine atoms?

Well, for one thing…all of this operates at a level beneath the radar… beneath the power of our instruments…that is why quantum mechanics has not progressed much since 1925…We have a whole lot of trouble… studying the nuclei of atoms. During the twentieth century, the cyclotron was developed to study the nuclei of atoms…and a menagerie of particles was discovered which was organized brilliantly as there seemed to be a correspondence between particles found… and patterns of logic found in higher mathematics…Still… the fact is…cyclotrons blast atoms apart…and scientists are left sorting through debris…the interaction, dynamics…the function of these disparate pieces of encapsuled energy are still an enigma…beyond the grasp of our most powerful instruments..

So if one is looking at a plant…a vegetable plankton…there are already a lot of hydrogen ions at hand…..primarily, as I say… in the compartments and activity of photosynthesis… if one of these hydrogen ions in the photosynthesis compartments could have become ‘activated’ somehow…could have become ‘in charge’ …somehow…it would already have been connected to an ‘axon’…a column of hydrogen ions conveying energy through the modules….Converted to convey information instead…this column of hydrogen ions would have already been connected to photosynthesis Light receiving areas…thus, this hydrogen ion would already possess a rudimentary ‘eye’. The conveyance of information by means of hydrogen ions in plankton would thus predate and be precursors for the courier ions in our brain… calcium, sodium, potassium, and chloride ions…

In paramecium…a spike of a brain has developed about what we can hypothesize to be an I particle….From the time of paramecium on….brain has continued to evolve, to augment the innate powers of this I particle…until it has reached the extent of the wondrous mind of man and woman…

How is an I added to Living material to make an animal? We don’t know…but it must be relative easy to do…Witness: that each of 600 million sperm in one human emission all seem to possess an I. Do human eggs have I‘s? We know that human eggs can produce viable offspring without sperm…although they are barren. So each egg must possess an I. Therefore, the sperm and egg must both have I‘s….Why doesn’t the baby have two I‘s? Perhaps the two I’s combine to become a single I at an early state…which would have problems empirically…because two atoms cannot become one…More likely, one I is eliminated…by giving it an electron.

There is so much to think about…We have reason to believe that I‘s are eternal and that there is such a thing as conservation of I‘s…We shall return to these ideas later…but it would seem…that I‘s are never lost…As I have said…atoms can be ‘constrained’…that is, their power to impact the external world…the world around it…is limited when there is an electron field around the atom…or they can be ‘revealed’…when electrons are removed…or no electrons are left at all…If an atom has more than one electron…things may be end up in an ‘in-between’ situation, here…where when one or more electrons are removed…some electrons may still remain..in the way… the nucleus…can be partially ‘revealed’…This partial ‘revelation’ may leave you with ions…such as exist in the human brain…like sodium, and potassium ions, and the like…which may result in partial ‘revelation’ of the powers of the abilities of the I. Instead of being ‘in charge’…an ion, with its associated electromagnetic waves…may have the power…to move information…transfer, deliver… perceptions…. ideas.

All of this is very exciting….there are so many possibilities to think about….The major thing is…If every atom possesses an I…then our entire concept of ‘materialism’…has changed.

The I and Love

What is Love? A god created all that there is….she gave herself and mothered the universe…a piece of herself resides…in each mote of dust…This dust is not Dead…’perchance to dream’!!…Creation is what we are talking about here… The Great God Woman…was the ineffably Great Creator…of everything!… There is a piece of God in each of us…and as a consequence…each of us possesses the capability to create…and somehow creativity is rewarded here on earth…with the greatest rewards…of joy and happiness…Well, there is physical creativity…having children…and here the Cosmic meets the plant/animal….we must reproduce for Life to continue to exist…all Life has this capability…For humans, there is also intellectual and Cosmic creativity…there are ideas…intellectual creativity…and then ideas are made manifest…in tools…Tools allow ideas…to impact the world…tools are the Connection…between mind…and matter…between mind…and the external world…All Life is built upon Death…yet there is the capability for Connection, for Love…for creativity, for Will…In a Cosmos filled with darkness….there is the capacity for Light…

For all animals…Connection…is a form of Love…Connection leads to mating and reproduction….For man and woman…the same is True…But Love of the band, the tribe…leads to inspiration, to songs sung, to crying to the heavens…to fashioning of weapons for hunt…for warmth, for food….For the band…if there is no Love…there is no Struggle…if there is no Struggle there is no Will…no creation of tools. When strangers meet, there is the potential for Love…yet on earth, the first steps are always in darkness…In the stranger, we must be able to see ourselves…before there may be Love…before there is capability to work together in the Struggle…before Will does appear…before creation may occur…creation of babies, tools, a new world….Love gives us the greatest rewards on earth…as it leads to Connection…to creativity..to joy and happiness….Love, if pursued vigorously…in the end…may yield the greatest Cosmic reward…an eternity…in the Light.

I‘s come to earth for Connection…Sex is where plant and Cosmic meet. Plant/animal is compelled to reproduce…sex is the engine of reproduction…yet sex is intimacy…intimacy means the possibility of very close Connection…close enough for the possibility for eternal Light…One man and one woman are bonded by sex…they are close…Now the challenge comes…for them to feel compelled to become ever closer every day…Sex is dangerous…it can be selfish…the two must be equal in their couple…they must strive to become the same I... ‘looking out’…a couple should strive to be one trillion times closer…than marriage…for the possibility of Cosmic Connection to occur…

Closeness in a couple is made possible by means of the female sex organ…it is the organ of intimacy…the male organ is irrelevant in this…When man and woman are naked…without the sex act…it is the female organ that bonds both into one…intimately, psychologically…and simultaneously… Cosmically…as man and woman strive to be actually, extremely One…the female organ must always be nearby…In primitive cultures…the female organ is always accessible…he desiring every two minutes…she making accessible…every two minutes…not for sex…instead, for intimacy…for Oneness….sex becomes Love… becomes Light…In the darkness before a fire, a community filled with real, extreme Love of couple…becomes a community of Love…of Connection…of Light…becomes a community that may exist together forever…in the Light of the Cosmos…

There exists a theology of Love….It was developed…created by one of the most important authors in this new century…It will remain one of the most important books ever written…Wild Mercy…Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics (2019)...by Mirabai Starr… …This great lady recounts how the beliefs of the shaman led to the profoundly feminine understanding of ‘panentheism’…that is, that all the particles of the universe are infused with the substance of the Divine…that God both interpenetrates the universe and is greater than all that is…As I have said…there is a piece of God, an I, in each of us… but also somehow the Cosmos is able to think and interact at various times…with our Lives…that is, women pray to a God…a piece of whom…is actually inside each woman’s mind.

The High Priestess…now speaks…

‘The nations now believe…that the feminine theology challenges women to reclaim one’s wild creativity. ..that ability to learn so much and formulate a whole world of ideas and tools that every child displays during the first three years of life…. With a bit of aging…one becomes cautious…it can be dangerous when one allows herself to become a conduit for primordial Cosmic Energy…when one stops learning by rote and instead absorbs all, yet simultaneously builds her own world…the ability to create the new enters like Light and everything becomes illuminated….’

In my words…There is a vital connection between creativity and mysticism. By mysticism the proud Powerful priestess means to learn to engage the inherent Powers of the I...when an atom is stripped of electrons…it is a point of creativity…it is a potent spark of Will…that can fabricate ideas….make tools…these Powers come directly from the Cosmos and are not part of the plant/animal instinctual package that most Life possesses…to engage with the creative impulse is to agree to take a voyage into the Heart of the Mystery…moving to that point of Will embedded within the base of a brain…. In this way…creativity bypasses the discursive mind and delivers us to the Source of our Being. When we allow ourselves to be a conduit for creative energy, we experience direct apprehension of that Energy. We become a channel for Grace…that is, women rise above the vagaries of plant/animal pettiness and self interest and become One with the pulses of the Cosmos with eternal perspective.

The Priestess speaks….

‘To make art is to make Love with the Sacred. It is a naked encounter, authentic and risky, vulnerable and erotically charged….art reflects the dance of Energy within us…it is able to impart Truth instantly I to I...Like a tree in winter whose roots are doing important work deep inside the earth, the creative process needs fallow time. We have to incubate inspiration. We need empty spaces for musing and preparing. We need empty spaces for musing and preparing, experimenting and reflecting. The society of the twentieth century did not value its artists, partly because of the apparent lack of productivity that comes with the creative Life. This societal emphasis on goods and services was an artifact of the male drive to erect and protect, to engineer and execute, to produce and control…

‘Art begins with receptivity…with direct communion with the pulses of Energy in the universe. Every artist, in a way, is feminine, just as every artist is a mystic…and works continually with the I…. Making art can be a subversive act, an act of resistance against the deadening lure of consumption, an act of unbridled peacemaking disguised as a poem or a song or an abstract rendering of an aspen leaf swirling in a stream. True science and art can be next-door neighbors…as long as the search for Truth is unsullied by profit or self-serving attraction of favor from others…Science must and should be creative…and the creative process feels the same whether its Power is directed toward science or art…Art should possess ideas and science should be always seeking the new which is the child of creativity…The most intelligent people on earth…have their day jobs..yet somehow they can also be artists and musicians. Their finely tuned minds are always grappling with some creative conundrum, trying to find ways to translate the music they hear in the concert hall of their heads into some intelligible form that others can grasp and appreciate.’

I would say…It is time for the world…to move into Creative Clusters of Entertainment, Education, and Research…People becoming family…becoming One in Creativity…Clusters…Engines of Culture…and Progress…

The Priestess continues…

“An artist is an I on fire…inflamed by an unquenchable urge to create. Each of the creative arts is a different language with which to praise the Divine or communicate important Truths to society… and all are interConnected.

‘If one spends a Life in reading…and thinking…one quickly sees the creativity is not really a matter of logic or the utility of ideas….One is drawn to Cosmic Beauty in a creative process that the Cosmos itself expresses itself…occupies itself…somewhere…somehow…every moment…It is as if one is participating in a sacred act…When an insight one has reaped from years of hard work comes…it is astonishing how this advancement in ideas flows from one’s heart with passion and literary power…one’s whole body becomes One with the delivery of what should be inert, objective findings…One receives joy from performing the highest of callings!’

The Cosmic priestess, Mirabaie Starr..recounts in her works…that her mother when moved by a coyote drinking from her garden fountain or jolted by news of a vast network of Mayan city-states discovered in Guatemala…her mother’s response was to compose poetry, short stories, lyrical essays…Yes, creativity begets more creativity…joy overflows…the creative Heart. Her parents belonged to the cult of Dostoevsky, who proclaimed that Beauty would save the world.

She says…’Forgiveness. The Act of Mercy. Sympathy for the stance in the world..of others…Constantly, saying to one’s self….I am not angry…I am not angry…for example…Saying to others…I’m sorry I interpreted your rejection as rejection, rather than as a cry for Love that it really was.

‘As for the twentieth century…I forgive you for putting profits ahead of people, technology ahead of clean air and water, head ahead of Heart.

‘Forgiving you was the best thing I ever did. Forgiving you set the bird of my heart winding through the universe. One must possess sympathy…one must extinguish anger…one must be filled with Mercy..before creativity is able to flow…’

The High Priestess emphasizes that one must repeat over and over…’All will be well and all will be well and every kind of thing will be well’….The Nature of the Divine is Loving-kindness, and the Divine wants us to absorb this into every fiber of our Being. This is a phrase that females should repeat over and over…like Hail Marys with a rosary…just as males should repeat Emile Cou’s phrase… ‘Every day in every respect, I am getting better and better’…although this will help females too….it’s like you form tapes in your head that keep playing and playing if you refresh them by saying them every day.

What is sin?…Well, it is something that causes a negative impact upon society…it does not really affect the Cosmic world…although you may alienate people and not end up in the Light….and it does cause pain on earth.

In the end…the theology of Love is simply the following…

‘We honor the Hindu teaching of namaste...“The Light in me honors the Light in you.” Like Martin Buber…the I in me recognizes and honors the I in you. ..that is…the Thou…in you… The scientist in each of us has to accept the fact that there exists this reciprocity between I and I…we only have empirical proof of our own I. The priestess jumps immediately to belief in the I in another…as she recognizes immediately…in the person in front of her…the existence…the presence of… Love!

‘With the female Cosmic perspective…a deathbed feels like a birthbed…Like the universe is taking a big inhale, recalibrating, and exhaling a new reality…a new adventure…

‘With a Cosmic perspective…you can feel your grip loosening on your ambitions, orgasms are no longer the main goal of Lovemaking…or a major reason for Living…It is easier to sit beside a pond and do nothing but follow the trajectory of a dragonfly’s journey with your eyes. .

` ‘There are women mystics from all branches of the I family…Hinduism, Buddhiism, Taoism, Judiasm, Christiianity, Islam, and in every indigenous way…the priestess is constantly contemplating Union with the great I and a better Life for people. The great Heart and wisdom of the divine feminine is that…one’s Life is filled with poetry, prose, practices, prayer…Spiritual/ Inner-Being…You feel the beating wings of mercy and the flowering Heart of forgiveness…the Heart’s story of divine Love…You hear the cries of the world…feminine ferocity…Powerful and compassionate…fearless and commanding…you accept the decisive challenge of existence…you are in the lap of the Great Mother…you drink deeply from the well of wholeness and hope…the priestess gathers the flowers of various mystical traditions from all around the world into a bouquet of Beauty…of Connection with all aspects of ourselves, and of the interConnectedness of all beings.’

I‘s Everywhere

So there is an I in our bodies…’looking out’…But the fact is…many one-celled organisms can move on their own…ninety-nine percent of Life…is microscopic…and as I have said…it appears that they too…all animal Life possesses….an I… ‘looking out,’ Now an interesting aspect of things is that our bodies are composed of billions of cells…that are unified into One body….In the history of evolution…these cells were originally independent, individual organisms…each possessing an I….these organisms were ‘captured’ to be part of one organism….they began to interact closely to the extent that eventually their DNA incorporated coding for inter-cellular behavior….as in sponges… They were individual organisms working together…each with an I...without an overall I…in charge…

Eventually one I took command of the multicellular organism…yet the complex organism structure and activity at the lower level…still remains…In the human body…each cell has thousands of components…and there are millions of interactions that take place in each cell…every second! Not only that…but each cell is filled with ions…some of these ions are hydrogen ions …some of these ions are fully ‘revealed’…some ions are partially ‘revealed’ like potassium and sodium….Working together, these ions guide the activities of the cell…When a biologist examines the activity within a human cell…he or she is flabbergasted. How can so much activity, millions of interactions each second, occur like that? I mean, these are just chemicals interacting….I mean, there are catalysts…but this is ridiculous…it is as if something, or some things …are in charge in specified areas, or are sharing information…guiding all of this activity…

Each atom in the Cosmos has an I…As I have said..this is like the shamanic theology that existed in the past…wherein all Nature was imbued with ‘spirit’. And we have gotten to this thinking using ideas from biology, philosophy, neuroscience, physics…using the Science of Everything…using as many disciplines as possible…to look at things from different perspectives… to come up with hypotheses…..Now we are thinking of cells that are run by or whose activities are facilitated by ions fully or partially ‘revealed’….Every atom has a piece of God in it…Modern man and woman…has forgotten where we are in relation to exploding stars and mighty trees…..We wander the streets…looking for the next Jack in the Box….Why not just stop…and look at the moon…the moon is dead!…or is it? Life is plant/animal….Life is a repeating cycle of chemical reactions…yet ions are involved…Any time we see ions now…we become suspicious….There seems to be more here…than meets the eye…

Either there is great meaning to Life…or there isn’t…We shall consider the meaning of Life in more detail later on….But you really can’t add meaning to things…a genius cannot just sit back and induce great meaning in all things ….Meaning had to have been there…at the moment of the Big Bang…Animals have no meaning…Really? There is only instinct…only the struggle for survival…which is innate…However, now we know that with all Living things …there is Connection…which is related to Love…which for us…is related to ‘smooth’ particle waves and the chance for an eternity in the Light…Plants have no meaning…but now we realize that each cell in a leaf has had ions in it all along…plants possess photosynthesis that is rife with ions…plants have all sorts of I‘s…fully or partially ‘revealed’ …just like us…each leaf…the entire tree… possesses cells with two I‘s in charge…somehow all are all talking to each other…some in charge…guiding cellular activity…guiding plant growth and metabolism… In my minibook on fighting Cancer…I show how the centrosome in each human cell seems to be identifying every particle that is moved towards it by means of filaments… and is sending it on to a organelle or to DNA for processing or to some other destination….One I...seems to be there…another seems to be in the cell wall…coordinating intercellular acitivity…a hold over from when one-celled organisms had an I in the cell wall…equipped with a flagellum…to whip the cell around….an I in the centrosome is in a position to identify pre-cancerous cells and cancerous cells…and either eliminate them…or kill the cell…thus stopping cancer…in its tracks….

When you look through a microscope, you see, well, countless of tiny organisms…eating each other...I‘s everywhere.!…Every second, countless things are eating something else…Life itself cannot be that important…when there is so much eating…going on….Plants eat Light…all other Life eats one another…Death is essential to Life….the magnificent edifice of Life…is built on a foundation of Death…a constant transformation of chemicals….yet through all…I‘s are conserved…I’s exist…forever…

The shaman speaks with the stars, with the wind, with the sky…The drum incessant…the voice singing for the tribe…When a tree is destroyed… you can smell, feel the Death…the sadness of it…because it is aLive…as birds are…Because they are saturated with I’s…She, he paints himself, herself…stands before the fire in the darkness in the freezing void and performs rituals that let man and woman experience their natural Oneness with the Cosmos…a Cosmos consisting only…of I’s. Energy…is …I…

The drum…the song…Nature is sacred…saturated with I‘s…pieces of God….The Cosmos behaves according to Law…implacable Law..yet there is Love…Connection… in the Light…

The I and the Emergence of Life

So we have a hypothesis…that every atom possesses an I…The I …when it is ‘revealed’…desires to impact the world…It is able to realize this impact by the use of physiological tools that are a part of a body that it is in charge of…or it may create tools…from objects around it…Thus it is…that consciousness sometimes leaves artifacts in its wake…These relics are tools…that are left behind…Artifacts… that is, past creation of tools that are left behind… are evidence that the I...has been at work… Whenever we see photosynthesis at work…you are looking at evidence of the I… working in the past…when the I...was beginning an astounding work…The creation of Life!…

The Emergence of Life….Let us see if we can see evidence of the I at work…at the very beginning..of Life…First…what are we looking for? First, we are looking for hydrogen ions. The early atmosphere was made up mostly of carbon dioxide, along with tiny amounts of methane, ammonia, nitrogen, and water vapor.. And of course, there was the Ocean…there was water…lots of water…

So this we know…4 billion years ago there was a plenitude of two things on earth….there was a lot of Ocean and a lot of atmosphere…the former of course was composed mostly of H20…and the latter was composed mainly of CO2…It just so happens that when water and air are combined we reaped the following…

H2O + CO2 yields HCO3- + H+

We see this reaction everyday nowadays…this reaction is initiated, accelerated, and proliferated millions maybe trillions of times by the action of enzymes in our bodies every day to acquire hydrogen ions necessary for performing important functions in our bodies….Of course this reaction occurred at a much slower pace at the beginning of Life….It is the first thing we were looking for…a gas in the air plus water yields a potent source for a surfeit of hydrogen ions.

Then there is a second thing…once hydrogen ions are generated in water, of course there is a propensity for these ions to immediately combine with other hydrogen ions and create hydrogen gas…However, H2 when it is produced in water is never stabilized…it readily dissociates into an electron plus a proton (that is, e– + H+). In this way in the Ocean…hydrogen gas alternates with hydrogen ions in perpetual vacillation… back and forth…a pattern replicated over and over…As we have said…Life in its essence…is replication…and in the ocean this was the earliest form of chemical replication…this was the earliest form of Life!…Hydrogen ions vacillating back and forth between H2 and H+ plus an electron…would have formed gradients with concentrations of H+ appearing in isolated contained areas….as I say, this flashing back and forth from H2 to H+ was a rudimentary sort of Life…a pattern replicated…with consciousness embedded within it!

However, for replication to take place in a more predictable manner… structures had to be formed to help guide this flow of chemical reactions….to help I‘s come back and commence where they might have left off before…in their creativity…in their tool making…It appears that the first structures that hydrogen ions created to assist in this replication were….sugars…

We saw that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere plus water gives us a wealth of hydrogen ions….Well, carbon dioxide plus water…plus Light… gives us…sugar!

Witness!

CO2 + H2O + photons yields [CH2O] + O2

carbohydrate oxygen

From the same folks that gave us hydrogen ions… with the help of Light they gave us sugars…Sugars give us building blocks to aid replication of chemical reactions… plus sugars can store and move energy from one place to another …there is a problem with the breakdown of sugars to obtain energy …as glycolysis takes a great amount of time without enzymes…thus there would have been great pressure for hydrogen ions to create amino acids and proteins to create enzymes…that is, catalysts that could accelerate biological interactions and reactions many many times…thus there was a need for nitrogen and phosphorous…to form enzymes…or rudimentary nucleotides could have been made…because RNA can act as an enzyme…

Perhaps one recognizes this pattern…this creation of structures and movement of energy…why, it is the essence of a process rife on our planet filled with Life today…it is photosynthesis….yes, it appears photosynthesis was there at the very beginning of creation of Life…Yes, Light indeed… did help create Life!

Sugars! The reason that molecules are ‘organic’ is that they have carbon as an important part of their composition…often part of their backbones… Carbon is ionic and can easily break apart and combine again… often in long chains…called ‘polymers’…Polymers are the secret to Life…molecules can build to immense size then collapse quickly…chains of reactions can occur quite quickly and easily….

So… the Ocean was filled with H+ 3 billion years ago!…which is what we were looking for….In addition, photosynthesis seems to have been there at the very beginning,…Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms…some organisms have processes which seem to be closer to what was happening at the very beginning…photosynthesis is used to convert Light energy into chemical energy…By Light is meant any frequency of radiation from infrared to ultraviolet…most photosynthesis on earth is now performed with the assistance of Light that we can see …however, some organisms use infrared radiation….Half of the radiation that hits the earth is infrared Light…so it is reasonable to think that the first Life used infrared Light….this chemical energy was stored in the sugar molecules that photosynthesis created, then transported to other areas to be released later to perpetuate replication at first…later to feed an organisms’ activities…As we have said…at this very very very early stage…breaking sugars down to obtain energy would have taken long periods of time…prompting the initiation of action for hydrogen ions to really change things..obtaining nitrogen and phosphorous to build amino acids, proteins, and ultimately enzymes to move the energy process faster…..

All of this means that Life had to have first occurred near air in the ocean where water and CO2 could combine to produce hydrogen ions and sugars…however, since the breaking down of sugars was necessary to obtain energy to accomplish things…it is possible that once Life was begun it may have moved to the bottom of the sea near vents that exuded gases from the center of the earth… where nitrogen and phosphorus could be obtained…

Our model then, simply…is…hydrogen ions arising naturally from a reaction between water and carbon dioxide…followed by a process called carbon fixation which produced a three-carbon sugar product…which in turn provided structures and means to move energy…obtaining energy from sugar molecules was a slow process…which led to the push to create molecules like amino acids which could be used to build proteins that could speed processes and eventually replace the rudimentary structures made of sugar with stronger longer lasting structrues made of proteins….The first evidence of the use of such proteins does not appear until approximately 1 billion years after Life seems to have been initiated….

God and an Ocean of ‘I’s

God and an Ocean of ‘eyes.’ One must pause here…if there are I particles and every atom possesses an I...all of this would mean…that we are not Living in a Dead universe. All particles have innate abilities, Powers.

…personalities…primitive and imperceptible to us as they may be…As I say, we were looking for Life in other galaxies…there may be ‘existence’ all around us…there may be consciousness, I‘s…all around us…Thinking this through now…it would seem that we are not Living in a meaningless universe. The universe can think…there is meaning. It also means that a part of us is eternal…Perhaps learning occurs here on earth…learning that we can carry back to where we came from…

Let us think through all these ideas…for a Cosmic perspective on things.

The Cosmic Ocean of I‘s…is an Ocean of Energy…in which vortexes have formed to become particles…which become atoms and molecules… There is consciousness at every level…perhaps consciousness is more defuse when it is Cosmic Ocean…however every drop has the potential of becoming a concentrated I...a personality..a Source of Form and Power…If every atom has an I …inside…then what is the relationship between our individual I‘s and God. Well, at the moment of the Big Bang, there were no atoms…all I‘s were One…In the beginning there was a God…the Big I… who in her great Love gave birth to a universe of multitudinous I‘s….gave of herself such that the Cosmos could have Form, Power…and meaning…and worship her creation. .. as an act of Love….

The Cosmos then is an Ocean of Love, Will, and Beauty…Humans emulate their Creator…as they, themselves…are first-rate creators…not just creating children…as all Life does…but creating tools…ideas…and then these ideas are fabricated..with which the world can be impacted and used to create a magnificent new world…in which they may Live in peace and harmony… or not! Creation emerges not just from Connection among beings…but from the Struggle in which they face the perilous unknown…Thus Love leads to Struggle which leads to Will…to creation…Will is Energy harnessed…but Energy can form vortexes which are not defuse…energy is released in patterns called Law…Socrates talked of Equality, Truth, Beauty…these are ideas from the I which a Cosmic voyager is imbued with…with concepts from that loftier realm. Will is Power,… masculine… utilizing energy to move, to impact…like the right side of the brain…Beauty is Form…female… mathematics, law, determinants…patterns that Force is induced to conform to…inducements like what the left side of the brain utilizes to discern Truth…

Love, of course, is a plant thing also…sex and reproduction…but there is a higher Love that predates that…There are Cosmic Oceans of Love…As I have said…the Cosmos is an Ocean, as Nikola Tesla thought…wherein atoms arise as vortexes in a Sea of defuse I’s…the Ocean is a brain in which ion waves are carrying information …an Ocean in which ions do not have electrons completely stripped away…but there is one ion in charge in a cluster…that runs the show…wherein Cosmic Powers are ‘revealed’… unleashed to move the rest…The Oceans on earth, themselves, are filled with sodium and chlorine ions…and water itself…is semi-ionic…hydrogen and oxygen ions may be able to Power…Connect…to inform…The Oceans on earth…may be One large 300 million cubic miles of potential brain…

Joy and happiness on earth comes from creativity….physical, intellectual….and when the intellectual is emPowered by means of tools…creativity is able to impact the universe around it… creativity, at the highest level… becomes Cosmic… Creation emanates from pulses of Love as we have outlines before…Love, Struggle, Will, Creativity, Tools…All animals receive joy and happiness from the reproductive act…for some reason humans receive the same reward for intellectual and Cosmic creativity… creativity is the only source of joy and happiness here on earth…

a Cosmic reward is received from familial, couple, and friendship bonding…which is of Cosmic importance…intense bonding can earn I’s… an eternity in the Light…Man and woman who become One on earth… immediately desire to Die and go somewhere else…The only way their Oneness can bring happiness on earth is by having children or creating ideas and products together…that is why their exertion to remain One is so arduous here on earth…because the impulses from this Love lead to distractions from this Union… expenditures of energy that detract from the Union itself…

Okay, but what are the stars doing…that is so great…so creative? Every day the same old, same old…blowing up…and moving out, out, out…Is there Cosmic memory? Cosmic knowledge?…We are on earth for a purpose… for Connection…but also to climb mountains….Each of us has a mountain to climb even if it is to merely survive and have children….What is the purpose of the Cosmos?…The Cosmos just seems to be…a bunch of stuff…doing Powerful stuff…but doesn’t it all seem…rather pointless? Perhaps Cosmic creativity is turning shadow…into Light.

The I and the Cosmos

First, there is the Source of all things. There is the energy from which all matter is made, which produces all movement, which is the Source of Consciousness. Evidence of this energy is seen in the fire which has been shattered into countless pieces and scattered across the heavens. For in the beginning…there was the Source…from which the entire Cosmos was built…there is a piece of the Source in each piece of the Cosmos…there is a piece of the Source…in each one of us….

But Energy does not just shower randomly throughout the universe. Energy conforms to patterns observed Time and again. The Source is converted into the entire spectrum of matter and is the author of all movement of matter in a manner which is regular and predictable. Thus, the Source conforms to regularities which are called Divine Law.

Now since all that is in the universe is or has been transformed from Energy… from the Source… all things must conform to Divine Law. In the variations of matter, the Law is observed to operate differently, yet a basic conformance to the Law must always exist.

For man and woman, the Law is manifested on two levels of existence. There is the Law of Love and Connection which pertains to the world of the body and matter… and there is the Law of the Will…that pertains to the world of the mind. This duality comes from the Source… In the beginning was Love… That is, there was creator which has invested all particles with an I… The I is a miracle… there is no explanation for it… It just is… and it was given by the Forces of Love… Wherever there is an I, there is Love…imbued from the Source…Yet wherever there is an I, there is also Will… emPowered by the Source…emPowered by Will…the I can perceive, think and act… So in each of us…there reside…Love and Will…In humans this duality is expressed by the phenomena of body and mind…of woman and man…Of course, women are intelligent and are equal to men in every important way….yet women often are devoted to more important things….

The Cosmos is filled with Will and Love…where there is Will, there is fire…there is substance…yet there is Form…An atom with its electrons is in equilibrium, at peace, in concordance with harmony and Connection…content in a realm of Love…Will and Power at that point…is focused upon attending to the electrons moving rapidly about the nucleus…When electrons are stripped from it..there comes a Force, a Power… there appears… Consciousness which was hidden…which is now ‘revealed’…The I... at that point…then possesses Will… which is able to impact the world abut the atom…the Will then is able to create tools…This impact is not blind explosion,,,The Source was an explosion that filled the Cosmos with sparks of fire…sparks of consciousness…the stars spread across the universe…are the tools that are its legacy…The Source resulted in an explosion that expressed both Will and Love…fire and pattern…which has resulted in a hierarchy of atoms, molecules, and organisms which has increased in complexity while minimizing expenditures of energy per unit of mass. This interaction between Will and Love has resulted on earth…in a stream of plant and animal species, performing the dance of evolution…nay, with consciousness, a dance of development and initiation…into an array of forms… from simple to complex…which at any period in Time has changed to conform to a changing world environment….all of these things are artifacts…evidence of a Consciouness…at work!

Thus all matter and the Forces which move matter were initially One. Everything in the Cosmos is composed of Energy…Energy was never created and will never be diminished…Energy is eternal…Energy is imbued with consciousness…thus Energy possesses Will and Love…and all three things are eternal…and are a part of everything in the Cosmos….Individual particles in their configurations and interactions… appeared as the universe expanded and cooled. It is natural for individuals to exalt in self… express Will which is inclined to Power matter into Connection…then conflict and Separation… the right, then the left sides of the brain…in different individuals…at work… developing tools….As consciousness progresses, Powers forth…by virtue of the Will that is imbued in Cosmic energy… in accordance with True principles, there is another force within consciousness…another Power….the Power of Love, which can be expressed in opposition to forces outwards….This is Love…which Connects…reunites bodies, matter, and energies into combinations…into Cosmic entities… smaller duplications, reflections, emulations of that initial One.

As we have said…on earth there are two spheres…the plant/animal sphere that is arrayed about us…and the Cosmic sphere possessing Truth from where we have all come… In the plant/animal world, the processes of reproduction are fundamental and crucial to the perpetuation of species. Because of this, on earth…reproduction is given high priority in the observance of the Law. Because reproduction is important, the rewards for successful acts are great. As a result of physical creativity… that is, successful reproduction… man and woman receive the joy and happiness which is reaped from Love between male and female, Love among members of a primal community, and from offspring themselves.

It is just that we are not certain as to where our particular I will be located… at any particular moment…in the future….An eternity is a long time… You don’t want your I to be somewhere lonely… or somewhere nasty… or somewhere dark… All of this…just makes us all try hard… to be Good! … very, very Good…just to be sure….

However, all of this is but half of the story…there is the other thing…the I…

As we have said…within each of us…is a piece…of the Cosmos…and that piece…brings with it Truth, Will, Love, Justice…and yes. …Beauty…It is a Beauty which is allied with mathematics, morality, and that which is exquisite in the colors and configuration of elements in paintings….How can the human mind possess innate knowledge of eternal Law?…of a Beauty that resides in the lofty realms of the Cosmos?…It is because everything in the Cosmos obeys Law…everything possesses Beauty… including the structures which are embedded within the left hemisphere of an A-type’s brain….Plato was aware of such a Beauty…and knew…that it was of another sphere….Again one’s attention is drawn to that special subject…that of the I…from which our knowledge of Cosmic Truths arises.

‘When one focuses on what is..we use our brain, obviously…to build tools…to impact the world… Truth, that is formed from hypotheses and mathematics are the bag of tools man and woman have created to impact the world. Does Truth like this come to us because of Truth inherent in the human condition…from what works empirically in the plant/animal world?….or does such Truth come to us from the I‘s are that embedded in each person’s mind…an I which has come filled with the Cosmic Truth of the heavens….Another question is…when we find Love in the human condition…and Love is what we will be fighting for…is this Love plant/animal Love or Cosmic Love?….Is this Love a sexual, reproductive based sort of Love…or a more abstract Love related to the I within us…that is, is it related to Cosmic Connection? As the Cosmic Goddess has pointed out…there exists another paradox…You want to worship God yet there is a piece of God inside of you…if both are True…then there is God in here and also out there…, this is called a ‘nondualist’ position and a dualist position held simultaneously…In a way you are praying to yourself…The fact is…God existed before the Big Bang..and now permeates all things… all atoms possess an I...a piece of God…yet the Cosmos seems to influence things…we can pray and really feel that someone, some thing is listening…Is this because the Cosmos is like one large brain?.

When we ask questions such as these…God feels so very far away, and we long for God…Not because we believe that God and self are ultimately existentially separate… but because here in the midst of our mundane animal tooth and claw reality, our I’s long to return to where we come from…to a sphere of Absolute Love.

Love is with all and yet Love is with One…flashing back and forth, we think to be like the nondualistic experiences that women have with God…As we have said…women pray to a God…yet there is a god within each of them…I mean we flash back and forth like a star filled with ions…filled with plasma…If there are a million I‘s in a star..well, there are many more than that… there is the possibility that consciousness flashes back and forth from one I to many I‘s…back and forth…forming a God of sorts… and then reverting back to many personalities….The same is True in a family…and in a Creative Cluster of people…we have grown so close that Love…like consciousness…has two levels…There is the One of the couple…There is the One of the band…a strong fist…a Loving embrace…in the face…of the Jungle!…Yes, there is indeed …the closeness….that special fragrance…of the chimpanzee!…

Life is a like a game. On one level Life is of no more importance than that of a butterfly, or the existence of a rock for that matter. However, one must take the game seriously if he or she is to receive a return that is worth the horrendous effort it takes merely to survive. Life is pain. Life is sensation and all sensation is on a continuum with pain. Life is an exhausting process as it is based upon the oxidation, that is, of the combustion of organic material… The body is consumed in the very act of its replenishment. The only reward in Life worth the effort is joy and happiness. And true joy is reaped from two sources…from the Will…which has the capability of impacting the world about it…with creativity… physical, intellectual, and Cosmic creativity. Physical creativity is reproduction, family and cluster…Intellectual creativity is the creation of ideas…Cosmic creativity is the taking of ideas and making physical tools that can impact the world…Joy and happiness also comes from Love…another Cosmic aspect…one of Connection and community…Therefore…creativity in the embrace of community within the primal band…extends to a person…the possibility of the greatest joy and happiness. One must take the game of Life seriously in order to gain this joy and, thus, receive enough benefit to justify continuing the game. When Death is imminent and inevitable, then the game is over. One can then sit back and calmly say… ‘My Life means no more than the flutter of ashes upon the ground.’

Yet there is another way to think about these things, a way to revise this statement and its content be just as True. ‘My Life means just as much as all matter, and that is very much indeed.’ For Life in its essence consists only of matter combined with Energy. The significance of Life must be related to the amount of Energy which flows over a basic structure of matter, for it is this flowing of Energy over this particular structure that is all that distinguishes Life from all other matter. However, then one realizes that such significance is on a continuum and is not unique to humans, animals, or plants alone. Is not matter itself quanta, bits of energy? All matter possesses Energy within the atoms of its composition. And all matter is born of Energy….an Ocean…of Energy. Thus, all that exists in the universe is Energy. However, all that possesses Energy is significant, for that which does not embrace Energy is void. Energy is eternal although its forms are ever changeable and reversible. Energy is the miracle of the heavens for without it the universe would be nothing, not even void, for void gains meaning only in the absence of matter and Energy. Thus, if no matter or energy existed, there would be no void, only nothing, a concept without Space, Time, or meaning. Thus, Life is meaningful, because matter, is composed of Energy…and all Energy possesses….consciousness…Will…and Love…Power and Connection.

Yes…Energy is consciousness and the latter is known by its Will…which unleashes its Power upon the Cosmos by means of tools..However, the impact that tools are able to impart upon the universe around them..is meaningless without Connection…without purpose…without a reason for a building up of capability….However, without man and woman, there is no significance; there is no meaning…in the plant/animal sphere. Man and woman are matter reflecting upon itself. Among the particles and clusters of particles of matter, man and woman possess great significance in that he and she represent the furthest striving of matter toward the Light, a closure of energy funneled upon itself. Only in man and woman’s eyes does matter gain significance on earth and thus all Life basks in the radiance of meaning that the exaltation of man and woman have conferred upon it. The loss of a human is a loss to Nature. However, in the Cosmic sphere…there must always reside meaning…and this is the great Cosmic mystery…

The Cosmos is permeated with consciousness and thereby must be imbued with thought…and the impact of thought made possible by tools… The Cosmos is composed of the great works of one immense I.…artifacts left by an I…when it was shattered into countless pieces…each piece of which possesses a personality of its own…Thus, that grand I...by necessity must have embraced all personality…all Being.. at the beginning of time.

` Yet in a way that great I is still throbbing…still impacting all about it…because all that fire…all those globs of swirling power of I’s….exploding,

coalescing throughout the Cosmos…may actually be a great brain of sorts…where thought occurs…Truth is created…preserved somehow in a great Cosmic memory somewhere…Man and woman…created in the image…of that great I...whose artifacts fill the void with Truth, Justice, Will… Love…. Beauty….

` God knows…what is in that ninety-seven percent of the universe…that we cannot see…exactly what is going on…in that abyss of Darkness.

Perhaps one of the most important things being done…in places we cannot see…is to give meaning to all that can see…give meaning to the monotonous, reoccurrring explosions and implosions…which gives meaning for us…for our Lives…also….

Yes…. It is appearing to scientists now that the universe is filled with ‘existence,’ that is, consciousness. Yes… in the end,…it appears that we are on a continuum with all other matter and we are not apart. Consciousness is on a continuum with all sparks in the universe… from the Energy of the atom, to the wiggle of DNA, to the brain of the mammals. When we Die we revert to lower levels of Energy; we are not annihilated. The I particle in a person’s brain, that is, the I…is eternal and indestructible. And Death will be welcome and its familiarity will be recalled the instant we are reintroduced to it. That is, the instant we die we shall say, ‘Oh, yes,’ and the disintegrating primal brain will recall a peace, a lower level of combustion which the dust of man has previously known. For before conception, we were otherwise, and otherwise we shall be again. When death approaches, we will welcome the time to lay our bones down and pass onto lower levels of Energy. We shall be at peace. We shall be at Home. At rest. No sensation. No pain…in an eternal Present…an eternal Connection…until electrons are stripped again…and consciousness is induced…to reach out…again…to impact…to impart…to express Power and Will….and Love.

However, until then….the passion, the throb, that is man and woman… must unfold and spread out upon the Land. The mind of man and woman must thrust humans ever upwards. The Light of man and woman must e’re be worthy of the obsequious and worshipful matter at their feet. One day the many sparks will be united into one blinding inferno with the consciousness of a nebula. If we are valiant…fight our way up the steps of the Aracna…in the pursuit of Truth and Justice…in the embrace of the Love of the Cosmic Priestess…(see my book, Omicron Blue}…we will have fought our way…towards to the Light…with others….until at last we may bask for an eternity…together…in that Light…

The Meaning of Life

Most Life does not think about the meaning of Life…yet it seems to be important to humans…it seems that they have to have some conception of a theology…as rudimentary and artificial as it may be…to move on the highest arc in Life that is possible for them. When I was a leader at a Boy Scout summer camp in Southern California…I was employed for the entire summer… the leaders created their own theology for the campers to consider…..which, as I can scarcely remember, seems to have involved a single arrow fired by some god who lived in the sky…This arrow, which was the only physical thing that spoke to the existence of this mighty celestial warrior….stood stuck in the ground…..with rocks carefully placed in a formation of adoration around it… Suddenly, we realized…that there was a great warrior in the heavens above us….who was nigh and caring….and the safety of the boys was increased by his ethereal presence…..and we realized that this week together…..well, there were twelve weeks of camp…with different boys each week…each week could possess the highest Cosmic purpose….and protection…The exercise was met with a greater positive response from the boys than we had ever imagined…

Why are humans like this…when no other animals are? You can’t just say that other animals are just too busy trying to survive to have Time to consider what their existence…. means. Other animals, of course…just are not smart enough to be bothered by nonsense such as this….Why don’t apes consider such things…they are 90 percent or more the same as we…The last layer of brain tissue differentiating humans humans from apes is so thin…it is like sprinkling pepper over the surface of the brain…This tiny layer of cerebral material…seems to account for great differences in behavior…among us ‘apes’.

This last layer in our brains…allowed humans to develop tools…..How is the meaning of Life…a tool…that us important for the survival of our species? It seems to be only one more worry we have to deal with…Are the gods happy with me? How will my actions now…influence my eternal Cosmic progress.?…Have I been good enough to earn the right to remain in the Light for an eternity….and not be left alone….forever….in darkness?….Such questioning is all part of a search for Cosmic happiness that human beings naturally undertake…

So, why do humans need a theology? And if they need one, how would the concept of an I…an eternal I…help build a Cosmic theology?…We shall start addressing these questions…by considering….the meaning of Life.

The meaning of Life…as I say, only humans care about this…It is the real reason they develop religions…..Well, there were goals that primitive peroples wanted to obtain… like survive….like, eat….like, stay warm…So you look out in the darkness, around a fire with other humans…whom you Love…whom you are Struggling along side of…Struggling to survive with….Naturally, in such a situation…you look to the heavens and ask for favors….Come on, it doesn’t hurt…to do such things…just in case…But then a Loved one dies…one you are bonded with….either by birth or coupling…many animals are sad when this happens…but they don’t seem to be sad for long…and they don’t seem to create religions to cope with such a loss…For humans, something is required for a longer period of time…because we never forget our mothers and fathers…and we never forget one big fact in Life…that we all are going to Die…So primitive religion sprang forth somehow….We know that there were primitive ways to chant and call upon the sky…or call upon something…in the sky…maybe call upon that great warrior who shoots arrows into the ground…

Archaeologists have found traces in the rocks…that show…that about sixty thousand years ago, a serious religion began to arise to the north…in arctic expanses… that is… where ice was everywhere….People forget that only thirty thousand years ago, ice was as far south as Kansas City… as far south as France…The problem with ice is that there is no food for long periods of the year…And as you head north, to the arctic, there is no Light for extended periods of time…In such environments, of food and Light deprivation… hallucinations arose and led to a religion now called ‘shamanism’. Hallucinations led to visions of ‘spirits’…..this is where the concept of ‘spirit’, utilized by the five major religion, came from….There may have been primitive ways to chant and call upon someone….somewhere….to help the tribe with the hunt….but now shamans had ‘spirit’, to help with the real buggaboo…Death….As I have said…Death is capitalized in this book…because it has such outsize importance to us ‘thinking’ animals….. Other animals fight to survive….because of instinct…to preserve the species…They are not afraid of Death….

So, other animals do not care about the meaning of Life…If other animals don’t care…why should we? They are as much Cosmic creatures as we are… if they can Live in a world, a Cosmos, without caring what the meaning all of this has for Living things…and still attain all that Cosmic creatures can attain… then…What?…We worry? But humans need meaning. Primitive man and woman saw Loved ones die….Death is the end that humans are supposedly striving for?…Why strive?…unless you Live after Death!… Hey, that would be something!…And this is how visions of ‘spirits’ Livened things up a bit…Hey, if there are beings, floating around that are not of this Life…then there must be a ‘spirit’ place…out there…somewhere…So religion arose…to say…’Just be good’…’Live the best Life you can’…’You will be okay…somewhere else….later’….If you are progressing to a spiritual land after Death….If you are going to end up in a nice place… somewhere else…when you die…then that confers meaning to Life.

However, there immediately was another question…See…humans are never satisfied. We immediately wondered…. If there is a spiritual world out there…somewhere…can we communicate with ‘spirits’…now?…and can we communicate with Loved ones who have Died? Well, shamans were plenty busy as a result of that question….going to Dead people in hallucinations… proceeding cautiously through psychic territories….where Dead loved ones might be viewed…maybe even talked to….

So…let us think about things…concerning the meaning of Life…When one is growing up, meaning for Life is found in the company of family, friends, neighbors….then later, meaning is found….from being part of the activities of a primitive band….In such a group of people, consisting of some thirty to fifty families…each member had a role to play….hunting, gathering, raising children….singing around a fire in the night. Life is a circle…..today in a modern life…it is work, family, sleep, weekends, summer cottage…always back…to more work…on and on….That seems to be all…At first, it seems that family and work are enough….they can give meaning to Life….you are contributing to something…In a primitive world, work is not separated from product, from the creation of your hands…’I made this’…’ I came up with a new idea…that was great!’ “I am important…this gives my Life meaning’… But sooner or later, we need something more…we need a ‘real’ meaning for Life….Wise people are always thinking on these higher levels…these kinds of geniuses can be a nuisance, explaining things to us…exhorting us to be Good…for this reason or that…But thank Goodness someone is thinking all of this through… We, the ordinary people, are just too busy….to create answers to these questions…

So, looking at things from a higher level…in our every day Life, the average person is not thinking about ‘spirit’ worlds…too often….Life is filled, given meaning by creativity….that is, having children, creating tools…raising children, using the tools to survive….Each one in the primitive band has a part to play which he or she feels that she or he can execute. In Life, there are things you can change and things you can’t…Humans fashion tools to change more things, have more impact on things around them. So humans have evolved with greater intellect and tools, which has allowed them to come down from trees where food is abundant…to live on the ground where they have no business being…to survive in a vulnerable place…Somehow we have developed an intellect…an intellect that can create tools…we are the ‘tool-bearing’ ape…which, if you think about it…means that we are the ‘tool-creating’ ape…We have evolved to a place where we are now totally dependent upon our intellect and our tools to survive in a hostile world. Well, part of that world is hostile and would eat us…but a vast part of that world…is

simply indifferent to our needs…which can be just as bad. So it is…that humans Live by virtue of our tools…and for some reason, one tool we ultimately must have…is…meaning…it just seems that…just creating children and creating tools…is not enough…to give us the meaning that we must have…there must be more to all of this…

There can be meaning to this Life beyond the momentary rewards of creating something new, right now…We can have an impact…that might last a while…We can leave a legacy here, on earth… people can think of us after we Die…Unless a man or woman creates something outside him- or herself…like a child…or a tool…the meaning of his or her Life will vanish immediately after his or her Death…For humans, there is creation that goes beyond having children…through discussion and working with others, we can accomplish things…there is enterprise that we can participate in…We are like other animals…we can enter into a conflict with other people or we can destroy other species…but there are activities that are different from other animals…that only humans may enter into…There is that supreme, sacred community activity when we hold hands, look up at the stars…and chant…First, there must be Love…then humans can undertake the Struggle…which leads to Creativity…to Tools…to impact the world about them…to survive…to be in control of their Lives…

When we create new things…we are an important part of our tribe’s Life…and we may be remembered for centuries afterwards….Our tools are developed ….our stories and cyclotrons are as significant….as diamonds, gold, or water buffalo….Life gives us its Cosmic award of joy and happiness when a person is able to make something or discover something that is new…it may be only a couple of chords on the piano…a few words in a book…or an image of an ordinary object that is suddenly seen as an important piece in a puzzle that one has been working on…working on for a long time…Yes, we work hard in this way and we derive great satisfaction…from a job well done. We can create things that will Live long a after we are gone….We can earn a fame that can endure on earth…for a long time….This can give meaning to our lives…

But here we go again…Again…this does not seem to be enough!….We need something more…something more Cosmic in nature…How can the discovery of the I...help us with this conundrum?

If there is an I particle inside my head…’looking out’…and it is part of an atom…then it is eternal…This is because all matter in the Cosmos is made of Energy….and Law of the Conservation of Energy demands that Energy is eternal….always exists in some form…somewhere…Forever!…and Ever!… Halleluja!….The I is a particle….thus it is composed of energy….thus it too…is eternal!….And all of this relieves us of a major concern we have had in the past…Will a part of us really survive Death and exist forever…after

that?…The answer is Yes…But again…it is not enough…Again, we humans have to have more…and more…We need more…We really feel we have to have…meaning…. for our existence…..We need something that goes beyond the normal trials and tribulations…and triumphs of this earthly Life….To feel really good about ourselves…we need some sort of meaning….that will enable us to strive to Live the best Lives we can…to do things that can better our position in Life on earth…to make the world….a better place…Is there meaning that will be True motivation to do Good things on earth…that will give us confidence that we are doing things…that will result in the best conditions for ourselves after Death? To derive such meaning….we must develop a Cosmic understanding of things…This where the concept of the I…can help…To approach a Cosmic understanding of things…we must first understand the part Life plays in the Cosmos….We must understand the relationship between two spheres…’plant/animal’ and the Cosmos…The Cosmic level of existence is where the ‘I‘ has dwelt forever….When it comes to earth…it brings with it Truths from that sphere.. The Cosmos has been operating really fine for billions of years…without Life. Life is merely plant and animal….which is merely cycles of chemical reactions repeating, repeating, and then creating duplicated cycles that all repeat and repeat…Life could be an accident..although, as I have said… the probability of its occurrence…is something like throwing a six on a die…36 times in a row….It seems more likely that there was some sort of ‘intension’ involved in all of this…In Cosmic terms…that there was Will…involved in all of this…that is…that there were I’s…involved….There seem to be all kinds of cycles of chain reactions on earth…that you wouldn’t call Life…certain kinds of rocks go through certain cycles of lava, hardening, burying, heating, liquifying, lava, hardening, burying…on and on….This repetition possesses as much Life…as a plant does…However, some of these cycles seem to be more aLive to us…than others…As I have said…the ones we recognize as Life…we designate with a capital L…This repeating…this replication, which is the Heart of Life…has evolved over millions of years…Scientists now claim…that all of this has happened without I‘s in charge…without something yelling at the rest in the brain…at least, at the top level…at the level that leadership controls our whole body…’Get the lead out…Let’s be better!…Let’s do…better!’

Why Are We Really Here?

Well, there seem to be plenty of reasons for one to feel that there is meaning to, for our Lives…But are these ideas sufficient reason to continue Living? I think we need more…

Why are we really here…on earth?…The reasons we are here do not seem to be related to Will…the first cause seems to be related to Connection.. .to Love…Will is utilzed to accomplish…a Cosmic purpose…Hear me out….

We are here for Connection…For example…alone…an I does not know it exists…it takes two I‘s for either to know that ‘looking out’ is special…so finally another I appears and confers meaning…

So how can we use the concept of an I to establish why we are really here on earth? As we have said…it does not appear that family, fame, and fortune are not enough to establish such a reason…So using the concept of the I…let us consider two ways Life might gain justification for subjecting an I to such pain and exhaustion…

First, considering ‘I’s, we might conjecture that I‘s may acquire knowledge while they are here on earth…and may use this experience, this learning to contribute to Cosmic ‘thinking’ when they return…that is, the universe is a Cosmic brain of some sort…and somehow experience we gain on earth can help learning at the Cosmic level…

Truth is a tool used to accomplish things…Why would Truth be important to the Cosmos? I particles may combine inside one big star or nebula…they can become sort of a big I…hydrogen and helium ions can never be like photons and be one big I…but they can communicate with each other without hindrance…In the same way, the Cosmos cannot become One great I again as it was at the beginning…the Cosmos could, however, be an even greater brain…with stars and nebulae communicating with each other like neurons…like one immense Mind…In this way, there may be great ideas, knowledge, memory…in the Cosmos…As we have said…perhaps I’s came to earth to Connect with other particles…and thus stay in the Light…but they also may come for experience and ideas that can later be used in building Cosmic Truth in the Mind of the universe….

The human brain may emulate the Cosmos…or at least, a great star. That is…one I has capability…but it is only when it is with many other I’s in a star that it can obtain great Power…of ideas…of action…One I equipped with a brain can do wondrous things, too…equivalent to many I‘s working together….

If there is Good or bad in the Cosmos…then there must be memory…otherwise, how can assignments of Light and dark…be made?… There must be Time…Time measures movement…and is useful in discovering Truth…But I‘s are eternal…thus only the present is important to them… zapping their Love partner every two seconds…occupies most of their

time.

Clouds of gas can create more stars. This is action, creativity of the greatest kind. Perhaps, as we have said…the suns, stars are communicating with each other like neurons in a brain…It is not like stars are immanating some Light to contact other celestial bodies…They are raining forth the entire spectrum of electromagnetic energy from Comic to radio waves…Perhaps the brain of an animal mirrors this celestial interaction…What sort of Cosmic ideas would be conjured? …constructed by such an astronomically, Cosmic sized… large brain? Perhaps a brain that large…is required to consider properly such considerations such as Love, Truth, Beauty…Woman.

A second reason for an ‘I’ to come to earth…is that Connectiveness can happen on earth…this Connectiveness can make it possible for us to Connect

with other I‘s…after Death…and Connectiveness might be a prerequisite for remaining in the Light…and not in darkness…In this way do we gain great reason for being here…We understand now that what we do on earth can contribute to where we will be in the eternities ahead…

Let us look at this Connectiveness idea first…it would appear that I‘s can establish Connectiveness without Life…because there is so little Life in the Cosmos…Life may facilitate Connectiveness, thus becoming a part of Life is desirable…but it probably is not essential…

When it comes to Connectiveness …do I‘s have personalities? One would think that an atom is just an atom…if one is to find another person on earth to be One with…and this Connection will lead to an eternal couple… then there must be differences among I‘s…that would compel one to become completely One with another…

When one looks at a particle…wherever in the world would personality be found?…Each I particle is like every other particle in the universe…it is a particle moving at the speed of light…within a space…with an associated electromagnetic wave that the particle generates…there are oscillations, patterns in the wave associated with the particle…it is these oscillations, patterns in electro-magnetic waves…that communicate with other particles…

The wave of an I particle can be complex. It can carry, it can convey…information…it can possess a personality…I particles may be smooth or warped…good or bad…

So, the Cosmos is filled with Light and darkness…each filled with particles. I particles strive for the Light. Fields can be warped and become unable to combine with other particles…The dark particles fall, alone, eternally into the darkness…although there is always a chance for betterment, as well as further declination…Therefore, part of the memory of the Cosmos may be related to roughness or smoothness of particle waves…Good and bad… the division or particles into…the Power and the Collection of Light…which are related to Good…and the dark and the dispersion of Light, which are related to badness and evil…in accordance with…Cosmic Law.

So in this conception…the I became part of the evolution of Life on earth…which gave plants and animals an advantage…in the survival game…But actually, the atoms may have a strategy of their own..They may be attempting to establish Connectiveness in order that they may reside in the Light forever…

If the animals in which I‘s reside…are Good…which would seem to be the case for most animals…then the fields of their particles would be rendered ‘smooth’ …and particles would be able to Connect with other particles easily after Death…

Bonding is an animal phenomenon…among family, couples…perhaps even friends if serious creative work is shared among them…Bonding is probably required if I particles are to be united forever…perhaps what is required is what I would call ‘extreme’ bonding….not just a couple being together, in a Loving, habitual coupling…it probably has to be an intense coupling to make wave surfaces unique enough to recognize and join after Death….

So we have good reason for being here on earth…What can we do to make our stay here fruitful and more pleasant?

The I and the Future

If the I exists…that is, if every atom possesses consciousness…then there is meaning in the universe….there is probably reason for us…to be here on earth. We are not Living in a meaningless universe…Meaningless…makes a Hitler possible…In face of these facts…armed with a Cosmic theology…now Hitler is really dead! We now know…that we have good reason to be here…therefore we must begin to repair what would appear to be a broken world…We have to make this world habitable…for centuries to come…Well, the fact is…right now…actually this world is far from broken…the world is in very good shape because of two Industrial Revolutions in Britain and the United States…it is because these economic revolutions have been so successful…that we are running into trouble….there is still two-thirds of the world that needs to benefit from this revolutionary time …This is the major reason for terrorism….people are left behind….not sharing in all the Good things a modern world can provide…So, much work must be done fast…somehow…And we are fouling our nest….the sky is filled with pollution and the Oceans filled with plastic…both remnants of a century of oil….that benefited a few…most were left out….But this just means that we have to accept these challenges…and create more tools, Powerful tools…tools of great, great Power…to take the next step…towards a prosperous and peaceful world. The Messiah was supposed to come…Unfortunately…we are She.

I think…therefore I am…Yes, this sentence has set us on a great path of adventure…Unfortunately this great sentence has…throughout the history of mankind become another…It has become…We fight; therefore, we are! There are five major religions…Communism is a sixth major one…I think there are some 4,500 religions, in all. These are religions of the plant/animal sphere. These are religions of War… they do not necessarily cause wars.. although they have done so in the past….but they certainly don’t stop it. We need a Cosmic religion that transcends the plant/animal sphere…to step in when the major religions are Powerless.

There seems to be some supreme, universal design for the universe…Let us see if we can discern it.

To impact the world..Let’s see….’impact’ means…to make a difference…A person’s presence on earth remains longest when we earn a place in history…To do so…there must be a major Connection with others….We must not think only of ourselves…but of others….A few people rise above fulfilling their minimum needs….they then have a responsibility to improve the conditions of Life around them…Prestige should be of no concern. If a person feels hubris…a supreme satisfaction with oneself…then the Power to create is lost…One can feel this loss of capability immediately…the loss of the ability to create as a result of hubris… leads to Death…think Michael Jackson.

Humans have two aspects…the plant/animal and the Cosmic. This means we are able to choose among various options…There are different pathways we can take in Life…we can eat drink, and make merry…or we can concentrate upon Cosmic things….We have free Will…but usually only when we reach a fork in the road….Once a decision is made…consequences usually fall in line with a degree of inevitability. All creativity comes from the Cosmic spark within us.

Before we can consider the future properly…we must confront Time… which is a tool of the mind…Time does not exist ‘out there’…and it is not important for I‘s that are eternal…We can learn from the Cosmos in this regard…We can learn to Live more…in the present. Life, for example, cannot survive in Time that flows…Thought occurs only…when Time stands still… although the mind operates continually… Eternity is Cosmic…Time is plant/animal.., earth, brain. Eternity is present…a place where Time stops….When you think….when you use your brain…Time stops…you touch eternity….Life survives only in the present….So much of what is wrong with Life…is looking to.., looking for… tomorrow.

How is it that I am aLive now? The odds against this are so great, given the infinity of Time….Given the infinity of Time…existence…at this moment… is impossible. Unless…I have existence…an existence that has existed for an eternity in the past and is set to endure another eternity…in the future….This is an existence that is important…because that is who I am…and I...am eternal…

We know this Truth…intuitively….We have received this information from the Cosmos…We know how we should interact with other people. As I say, we received this information from another realm…it is an ethical realm…Cosmic Law rules there… On earth, the individual religions have their rules…but a world government needs a Cosmic theology… based on Truth, Beauty, and Cosmic Law. We need the philosophy that Descartes believed in…what the United States’ Declaration of Independence was based on…We need the ideas received from the Deists…great ideas like Equality, Justice… these Cosmic ideas lead to democracy politically…wherein people must be treated equally…All people have an I...and each I is different…like snowflakes… like fingerprints…Yet each…is a piece of God…all are a piece of that original…great I…Thus, each of us are basically the same in importance… each of us…’looks out’…and this fact is awesome…this ‘looking out’…elevates each person…all persons…everywhere…of every type and flavor…to equality.. and to an importance… of kings…

There is a fifty percent chance that humanity will not make it through this century…The major religions are okay…they calm most people down… yet in the face of terrorism…these religions are tools…that are useless…

We need new ideas for an entirely different, new world…a peaceful world…an united world.

A secular theology will not do…We are tempted to say…’As far as the meaning of Life…we live in an intrinsic void.’ As I say…secular thoughts like this…lead to Hitler…In a world of meaningless, one must start with the individual…well, I go to the mall…this is important to me…so it must be important to the universe…Life is meaningless….Life is chemicals…so bring on Hitler…No…there is existence within us!…all around us..there is meaning for the Cosmos, in the Cosmos….meaning all around us!..in everything…that exists!.

The essence of Life on earth…that is, plant/animal life…is the search for joy and happiness….which only comes from Love….that results in Will, creativity, tools….To realize this end..we must become One…We must Connect…with the human family…We must Connect with Nature…and we shall have earned our place in the Light….For too many people, a world free of violence, oppression, exploitation, inequality….a world free of these ugly, immoral things…is just a dream. The uniting of plant/animal plus Cosmic… will make our dream…which is a Dream of Dust…our great human task on earth…come true. The I… is a Dream of Dust…It is matter…’looking out’…thinking, dreaming. We must utilize Cosmic Power…we must use an I conception of humankind…to subdue ideologues… racial, religious, and national conflicts. All the monumental pushes in humanity against destructive and exploitative forces….have been led by the I armed with Law from the Cosmos…Uniting our world into One great Force of Cosmic Truth, Law, Will, Justice….of Love.

Many of the ideas in this book may be called ‘speculations’ …as they have little empirical support…Yet scientists talk every day of ‘strings’ and ’11 dimensions’…which they say…must be True…that is, they must refer to an empirical reality…that will one day be found…They must be True… because of mathematical calculation…That is, the left side of the brain has tools of analysis and deduction that may take us to Truth…with a minimum of evidence…Well, the right side of the brain…utilizes synthesis and induction to create startling hypotheses also…These hypotheses are as valid as those found by deduction..and speculation such as this…can allow man and woman to skip ahead…and find real Truth much faster than without such speculation… The trick is to attempt to test these speculations…sometimes in an indirect way…To make speculation real Truth…we must use the Power of both sides of the brain…We must utilize the Power of both sides of the brain…which are found in different individuals…to find Truth in an accelerated fashion….

The thing is…I believe that the ideas I have presented here…have a healthy probability…of being True…Whereas I do not think that ideas concerning ‘strings’, 11 dimensions and multiverses are True…I mean, our I’s are in the center of atoms…’looking out’…we are in an advantaged location to discern what the basic building blocks of the Cosmos are…and we do not see ‘strings’…we do not see 11 dimensions…What we do see is….Energy…

Energy…how do electrons whirl about nuclei for billions of years without inputs of more Energy?…How can every person possess an I that is the center of the universe?…Together we can answer challenging questions like these…Our world is full of the magic, the Power…the Love…to make a great prosperous future…a reality…..

Bibliographical Notes

So if consciousness was there when Life was first formed…we should look for hydrogen ions…and we should look for chemicals that can be formed easily from gases in the air that can be absorbed by the ocean and water in the ocean itself…well, it is a great help for a scientists to know what he or she is looking for…for decades answers may sit right before our eyes without progress because scientists are not asking the right questions…We know… what we are looking for….

The major sources we used for information were texts all of which are no doubt out of print now…which are no doubt replaced with newer editions and selections….Our hypothesis here was built not from ideas found in original pieces of work by other investigators….they were built from facts found in any basic textbook in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry and cellular investigation….what has led our investigation are not new facts per se although new things are being discovered every day…It is more what the investigator is looking for…things that have been there all along…if one were looking for them…if one were allowed to look for them…

The only indication Omicron had that it was morning was the blast of the bugle. The sky was dark with clouds. Rain still flowed downwards in sheets. Omicron and his men packed the equipment the best they could. The companies in the battalion were ordered to disperse horizontally along the northern perimeter of the Bay. They would have to be prepared to confront the enemy from any direction, although the odds were that the fury of the enemy would be directed from the west if the first company in the chain…was successful in diverting them away from the peninsula.

Omicron sloshed through the marshland to his company’s designated station …located at the mouth of one of the long valleys which lay in north-south, almost parallel, lines above the bay. One of the men was driving a large laser cannon which moved on its balloon tires through the marshlands along the shore of the Bay. The cannon was also carrying a large supply of one-man personnel carriers. The carriers were powered with small nuclear reactors, which eliminated all concern for fuel. The commanders saw no way they could be used in this situation as the men would have had to risk accidents and injury traveling close together before the slow-moving cannon in the blinding rain. Therefore, the men trudged ankle deep in mud along side of their gigantic charge.

As they moved slowly towards their destination, they saw hunks of concrete blocks strewn among the grass and wild flowers, which were all that was left of the highways built during the previous century. They also saw the disintegrating half-submerged wreckage of wharves and warehousing along the rivers and Bay shore… which had been utilized by the ships which once moved in channels dug into Bay waters… which astonishingly… at that time… were generally only six feet deep.

Now cars, ships, and airplanes were gone. Now the mags were the cheapest mode of transportation for all goods and people. Mags moved through long transparent tubes on the land and beneath the seas. The mags were powered by the International Solar Bank (ISB), which the United Nations had built in a five hundred mile-wide band around the equator. These areas had been abandoned as people of the Third World migrated towards the developed ones. It was now apparent that two-thirds of the world had been living in desert…in jungle….that is, in areas that had few resources…There simply was no way for these countries to emulate the economic development of Europe and the U.S. …People had to move…or be shipped what they required from the Cities in the West…It was simply more efficient for people to move…and with population growth completely under control…and with people only Living on four percent of the land…there was room for all in developed areas…Energy now was generated at very low cost from the sun in desert areas supplemented by country-large batteries to store surpluses….solar cells as well as all electronic equipment were now made smaller and very efficient by the use of I‘s in the circuitry which increased cognitive power enormously on very small chips…the energy that was generated was transmitted around the world by means of efficient superconductors.

There were 20,000 nuclear plants now…many located in areas where people were emigrating from…the risk from nuclear catastrophes had been reduced radically..yet with most nuclear plants in areas without people… potential danger was reduced even more. With all this capacity…solar and nuclear… the world now had ten times the cheap energy for human activity that it had had during the oil century… the twentieth century. Thus, at the present time, there was no energy problem, and many of the other problems left over from the previous century were also rapidly disappearing, including, hopefully… CASTLE itself.

Omicron chuckled to himself when he thought of the monumental problems the twentieth century had had to face, and how they at that time had concentrated all of their attention and energy not upon solving these problems, but upon flying men to the moon and fighting senseless wars. The world government now placed a low priority on space exploration and communication with extraterrestrial life, because the transportation system did not yet exist to reach other stars, let alone other galaxies.

Scientists used to look for Life in the furthest reaches of space… Omicron thought… when there is ‘existence,’… that is, I’s…all around them!! Plus why try to find a place in space to Live… when there were oceans right here… that’s right… an inhospitable place to be sure… yet no worse than anything ‘out there.’ The transparent tube mags zipping through expanses of ocean now were acquainting people with a liquid cosmos they had never fully considered before. There was plenty of room for 4 mile high cities in the

oceans… Plus these cities could be connected easily to the infrastructure, communications, and cyberfacilities on the land. In addition the oceans were full of salt… which of course were sodium and chloride ions…along with hydrogen ions that were always present in water…there was an ocean of ‘revealed’ and partially ‘revealed’ atoms…I’s… that scientists were now confirming to be in communication with each other… ripe for sending messages from shore to shore…just as the ions in our brains do…and just as the stars in the heavens above are thought to be doing… Yes, the oceans are like one big brain, like a Cosmos, here on earth… just waiting for humans to dream up of a use for….

Omicron’s company sat in their slots at the mouth of a valley. … along with scouts above them on the top of nearby hills… and stared northward up the valley, looking in a 180 degree sweep in front of them for any indication of enemy scouts sent out ahead of the mass movement of troops. Omicron was in constant contact with the platoon sergeant, Julius Nasturtium, Gloria’s father, for information from other areas. However, the enemy had not yet been spotted anywhere along the line of troops spread from the ocean inland to the ‘delta,’ sixty miles inland… where the two rivers…one flowing southward, the other northward along the 700 mile long, large agriculturally productive valley… met and moved westward into Bay waters.

The sky was still dark and the rain continued, although its Force had slackened some now. Omicron’s atomic watch, microphone receiver, and geographical positioning instrument on his arm… Lighted up number after number, minute after minute, hour after hour.

Colonel Steven Blue paced in front of the monitors whose bright colored faces displayed various battle preparations and views of the approaching enemy transmitted from carriers located just out of enemy laser range. The front wall of the enemy had stopped and was apparently waiting for others to catch up. However, they were still scattered too much to be met as a unit and defeated.

‘What do you think they’re up to, sir?’ Steve asked General Fred Goss, who was in charge of the Southwestern United States Command…

‘They are obviously waiting to group. But that would be immediate suicide. For the first time in the history of the mob, we would have them in one place. I think any community police force in the country would welcome the chance to knock these hoodlums off in a formation like that. But they’ll probably wait until dark before they make their move. They must have a plan of some sort.’

‘Any word from the Pentagon?’

‘General Bill Brice says help will be here next week. They want to make sure they have enough firepower to deal with these creeps properly when they get there… plus the wondrous cerebral creativity of this magnificent age is too involved and mind-fixed to leap abruptly… into a conflagration of hate and death that the world has not seen for a while. We thought we would have a few weeks of warning if an enemy…whoever that might be in this friendly age… got mad enough at us to strike… We never thought about a war within.

‘Alert the Second Division that its Second Battalion should be prepared for a forced march and attack if the enemy begins to group.’

‘Yes sir,’ replied Steve, his eyes resting momentarily on the monitor focused on Company B.

The afternoon dragged by. Omicron and the ten men in his squadron were still in foxholes, prepared to meet the enemy hand to hand…man to man…Or if circumstances changed abruptly, they were packed and ready to take off on command, in their carriers, in any direction… leaving the laser cannon behind. However, they waited in vain for a command. They had been told that the vanguard of the enemy had stopped its forward progress approximately two miles to the north and seemed to be waiting for the others, who were spread over hundreds of miles, to join them. They would be like fish waiting to be shot in a barrel, thought Omicron. There must be more to their plans than this.

The rain was continual and drenching. The sky was dark and absorbed more apprehension as late afternoon approached and left. Soon it was around six o’ clock… and the company was surrounded by a total absence of sight. The troops sent several more field observers… each in a carrier to monitor enemy movements. Each giant canister was equipped with a powerful searchlight, which were relatively ineffective in the downpour.

Then around seven o’clock…the enemy had vanished from some observation points. CASTLE was on the move! There were reports of a massive and rapid consolidation of the enemy approximately three miles to the northeast of Omicron’s position. The order was given for the battalion to move up towards where the enemy was congregating…leaving one company to guard its western flank.

Omicron’s clothes were completely wet. His pack drooped heavily upon his shoulders and back. However, he and his men moved quickly up the valley in the rain and blackness utilizing the GPS in their watches as a guide…Then they groped their way following the broken concrete of a road over the range of hills to the east. Progress was slow…they could barely see the remains of road along which they strode…which they used as a guide…They had progressed only about five miles in two hours when Omicron heard the sergeant’s voice cut in on his arm receiver:

‘They’ve blasted through our ranks to the east. They’ve broken our lines in a surprise attack and are headed for the Bay not the peninsula like we thought. Turn back…I say, go back to where you started…go back to your equipment! I repeat, turn around and go back to your equipment!….We need to engage the enemy…in the vicinity of the north shore of the Bay!’

Omicron felt as if he were playing some sort of game for which he did not know the rules. They had been surprised, and the enemy was surging towards the shore of the Bay… but for what purpose? The country’s entire defense strategy had been based on the assumption that the water of the Bay would be a barrier to the enemy… Again would the enemy be sitting ducks?

They trudged back and reached the equipment they had left behind in piles, bound in canvas, around eleven o’clock, Soaked to the bone and covered with mud and grime… they rested for a moment in temporary shelters that had been thrown up to protect them from the rain…the whites of their eyes were shining in the dim electric Lights as they chewed on dried seaweed harvested from the ocean plantations and drank their pep-up vitamin and protein drink from their waist dispensers.

The captain’s voice roared across the howl of a wind that had built up to approximately thirty miles an hour…

‘They’ve hit the boats at the yacht harbor. They’re taking off across the Bay. Our company, and Alpha and Charlie companies will go after them in personnel carriers armed with small laser arms and searchLights. The other two companies will remain ashore to prevent them from retreating back if we can cut them off.

‘Also one-half of the enemy is unaccounted for. They must be to the north somewhere. Our men on the shore must keep them from marching down the peninsula towards the City.’

Omicron and his men were immediately climbing onto the cannon carrier, unlashing the canvas… pulling personnel carriers down, bolting searchLights onto them, and mounting the small cannons. Anthony, Leander, and Marcus were from Love Song Band. The remainder of the platoon were from other bands in Golden Sun Tribe.

‘Okay, men,’ Omicron blared into his squadron’s earphones as he climbed the steps to his cockpit. ‘Stay close. We’ll split up when we find them. Let’s go.’

They flew at approximately forty miles an hour into a buffeting gale. Rain was flooding down upon the transparent tops. There were times Omicron had to slow almost completely to a stop because he could not ascertain how close he was to smashing into his comrades. After about fifteen minutes Omicron sighted an object in the water.

‘I see one!’ he war-whooped into his microphone. ‘Let’s see how many others are here before we blast in.’

With his Light he was barely able to see that the boat was approximately a thirty-footer and it was tossing across the surges on the Bay against the strong wind at a greatly reduced speed. He could see a dark figure climb to the cannon in the stern and begin firing at the carriers. Omicron returned the fire and withdrew with his men… back into the safety of the downpour. They picked their way past the first boat… until they were able to make out a few other shadows bobbing in the rain.

‘Okay… Anthony ad I will take the one we just left.’ barked Omicron into his wrist comm. ‘Leander and Marcus take the next one… Julius and Pericles take the third. It shouldn’t take much to sink these tubs… but get the gunmen first… then just fire a hole through the bottom.’

Omicron swooped back towards the first boat with his companion. He began firing the moment the blurred image came into the range of his searchlight. He could see the gunman in the rear return the fire, but Omicron and Anthony immediately blasted him into the water and then ran a laser straight through the bottom of the boat. It will sink in minutes, thought Omicron, as he turned toward the other boats.

They found that their comrades had done their work well and the other boats were sinking also… as the six carriers were now being joined by scores of others.

‘We have to be careful or we’ll accidentally bump each other out of the sky.’

It was the voice of the company sergeant, Nasturtium, who was in one of the approaching carriers.

Nasturtium began barking orders, sending the carriers out in two’s in a line so they would be part of a force that was in a horizontal line moving across the Bay from the north shore towards the southern peninsula upon which the new City was perched.

The rain was coming down in sheets and the searchLights were becoming more a liability than an asset as the gunners in the boats could see the Light beams better than the men in the carriers cold pick out the shadows in the storm.

Omicron spotted the next challenge heaving in the waves. He gave the word to Anthony and swooped down at it. Lasers were flying all around him as he zeroed his cannon in on the gunner and blew him to oblivion. He then turned to finish off the boat when he heard the cry of “May Day, May Day!” in his ears and saw his companion’s carrier burst into flames and fall into the murky waters.

‘This is for Anthony you bastards!’ Omicron cried as he blasted three people off the boat and splintered the craft in two.

He was on his own now. His men were nearby somewhere but he could barely keep himself out of the water let alone try to see where anyone else was. Then another ball of flame flashed through the torrent and he knew another carrier was gone.

Omicron flew straight ahead quickly until he spotted a forty-footer with two cannons already blasting from the rear and a smaller gun firing from the bow. Immediately, Omicron felt a laser blast rip through his craft. His carrier was spinning and Omicron lost all sense of direction… He was afraid to change speed or direction as the results might be worse than what was happening. Then he saw he was heading straight for the water. He pulled the steering rod back and steered upwards at an askew angle.

One of the booster rockets had been damaged. It would take some doing to compensate for this loss in Power and maneuverability, and protect himself from the guns at the same time.

The laser cannons were zeroing in on his position now… All of a sudden he felt that all was lost… that the end was imminent and inevitable. There now was no future for him save the black water below… which would be his grave. Laser shots burst past on all sides. Any one now would be the period… on his short Life. There was no Hope.

Before Omicron there appeared a faint Light… which gradually increased in intensity until he could see that it was the vision of an upheld golden sword. He imagined that he grasped the sword… and at once he was filled with Power and renewed determination. He whirled his carrier rapidly to the side to elude the new volleys… and charged right at the boat… laser cannon blasting. In seconds he saw that the boat was aflame… The cannons were silenced.

He wheeled his twisting carrier through the darkness. His searchLight showed him a fourth prey straight ahead. He poured lasers into the cannon at the stern and got his man but as he stormed past within feet of the roof of the cruiser, a man on the bow showered him with blasts from his handgun. The transparent hood above him was shattered into pieces and a fragment cut deeply into Omicron’s forehead. The blood flowed forth furiously, blurring his vision, which was already obscured by the rain and wind pouring through the gaping holes in the hood. He turned sharply and riddled the boat with rays.

Omicron then yelled into his microphone, ‘Sarge… I’ve been hit. I’m going back.’

A ‘Roger’ was snapped back through the receiver.

Omicron quickly gained altitude, took off his shirt, wadded it into a ball, and pressed it onto his gushing wound. ‘Only a flesh wound,’ he thought. The wind pounded in on him… which added to the difficulty in maneuvering the craft. However he was going with the wind now… and he was able to negotiate the craft back to his squad’s position at the laser cannon.

Before landing, Omicron radioed First Lieutenant Silver for instructions. He was told to try to fly his carrier to a rendezvous center which had been established to the west. There he could receive medical aid, food, and a new carrier to carry on the fight. It took him a couple of minutes to reach the temporary base. He stumbled out of the cockpit into the rain and wind with the shirt still wadded on his head. In the shelter of a tent, a medic quickly placed some butterfly bandages on the rip in his skin and wrapped them securely by means of an ace bandage. Omicron slumped back against a rolled up knapsack and assorted supplies and ate some protein broth. The medic wanted him to rest and make sure he was fully recovered before he took off again. Omicron fell back not so much in exhaustion but in total bewilderment and confusion as to what had happened to him during the fight with the boats.

General Goss was staring into a monitor which was black with night. Steve hurried in with the latest from the fight.

‘We aren’t doing so well, sir. Our men estimate that there are about two hundred boats on the move and up to this moment we have been able to stop only a few dozen… that we know of. On the other hand, we have lost seventy of the two hundred or so carriers we sent up… and there are dozens we haven’t heard from for a while. Our men are fighting the storm and darkness… as much as the boats.’

Goss replied, ‘We aren’t doing well. We don’t really know what they’re trying to do. Our men have spotted more of the enemy still scattered on the land to the north of us. They’re just waiting. We sure could use some of the old jets they used last century to strafe these boats.

‘Well, even if they get to the City, I don’t know how they plan to get through those walls covered with our men. But we can’t take chances, we have to knock off as many as we can before they get there.’

Omicron listened to the rain assaulting the thin skin of the tent. The wind howled as it blew off the Bay. Omicron thought about the sword that seemed to be in his hand at the moment he was ready to give up. He knew now why that image had come to him… and what it meant. Steve had spoken many times about the seventh Cosmic step of Victory. He had said that Omicron should think of a man in a chariot underneath a starry canopy ‘upheld by four columns.’ This warrior was advancing toward victory ‘with a scepter and sword in his hands.’

Omicron understood that it should be the goal of every man and woman to lift and expand the Power of his or her Will… until his or her mind has complete control over the external world. This control was to be obtained by each person learning from his superiors and developing his faculties until supreme Power was obtained.

In the physical world, man and woman could control matter and movement in the external world… in ways which were best for their species. In the intellectual realm, they could make great accomplishments in scientific and artistic creativity. In the Cosmic realm, mankind would be at the height of its creative Power when its leading spirits had progressed to full attainment of their Powers consistent with universal, Cosmic Law.

Omicron now understood that when the Will is properly prepared … it is possible for man and woman to overcome all obstacles. He understood that ultimately this Power which he had experienced… and the strength he had received in the fight… would grow until such a time that he would be able to dominate all elements… subdue all Forces of the universe. He understood also that even when all Cosmic steps of the development of the Will were completed… that this only would be the completion of an essential first step… in a ‘limitless exaltation of human power… step by step…upwards and upwards…traversing one stretch of an infinity of space and time.’ Essentially, when one received the final step of the Arcana….the Crown of the Magi…one would then begin again…at Arcana 1…Will… again…and again…in a second, third, fourth….thrust upwards to the heavens…Knowledge, Action…upwards upwards…each passing through the steps would overlay one’s consciousness with new layers of silver and gold… He understood that development of his mental faculties, increase of his knowledge concerning external matter… and the discernment of universal Laws were all key to the continual expansion of the Will. Always the action taken by man and woman… the judgment they make of others… and the ability of the Will to expand in domination and power must be in accordance with the Laws of the universe which govern all things…all men and women… beasts… Living and inert matter.

Thus, the lifted sword was the sign of Victory…Cosmic step number 7. And when the sword is taken by a man or woman… properly prepared and worthy of its power… it is his or her assurance that great deeds can be performed. Once this step is reached… although one must maintain a continual vigilance against backsliding and declension of the Will by failure to continue to observe the universal principles upon which progress must be based… a man or woman may have this power ever at his or her disposal… to utilize whenever the need may arise.

Each new step… each Cosmic step… was like new ground won. The attainment of the step was difficult… and required all energy and courage of conquering a foreign land. However, once received… the Powers attendant with the step could be obtained again more easily… the next time when they were required. The steps once won… were not awards which a person wore on the breast like he or she were a big hero or something…. The steps instead were increased potentiality… which a person had to be prepared for…had to be worthy of… and which had to be won…before they could be utilized any time exigencies arose…in the future.

Good and bad are related to what is True and Just. And Truth and Justice are based on universal physical Law. Forces of bad not only contend with the forces of Good… but they also fly into the face of destiny and the Law itself. The master of the Will realizes these things… and utilizes universal Law and energy… to emPower his or her undertaking of tasks and battle successfully in the Struggle against evil.

‘Remember, son of earth,’ his father would say, ‘that the empire of the world belongs to those who possess a sovereign mind.., that is to say, to those who possess… the Light which illuminates the mysteries of Life. By overcoming your obstacles you will overthrow your enemies… and all your wishes shall be realized… But you must go towards the future… with courage… reinforced by the consciousness… of doing Right.’

Omicron had heard these words time and again. However, actual confrontation with external matter, with evil in its concrete manifestation… face to face in real Life… had to be experienced… before the Truths of the words… finally could be fully understood.

Omicron emerged in a crouch from the tent and quickly groped his way towards the quartermaster’s tent for supplies. The supply tent was large, and four soldiers were playing cards in the Light of an atomic-powered lantern. They were part of the troops who had stayed behind to confront any enemy that might be straggling behind or who might try to retreat from the fight on the water. One of the soldiers was Wolfgang Mere, who was a lieutenant in the company like Omicron was. Another was Caesar Gemstone ,who, because of previous service during his school years, had been a lieutenant for several years.

‘Well, hi there, Omichronicle,’ Wolfgang greeted him. ‘Looks like you have been cruising around on a joy ride, while we he-men have been fighting continually to keep Lightning and thunder out.’

‘Well, Wolfbreath…You don’t have to act so guilty,’ Omicron replied with a smile, ‘ just because you’ve been sitting on your butts… and I damn near got killed.’

‘I don’t see what is so rough about cruising about shooting motorboats like fish in a barrel,’ Gemstone said in his disdainful manner.

‘Well, Omicrinkle is still lucky to get all the excitement,’ Wolfgang said. Then seriously he continued, ‘There’s one man who got excitement enough. Cyri got his a couple of hours ago. Dad got the word about half an hour ago. I’ll miss him.’

‘They got Anthony a couple of hours ago, too,’ Omicron said sadly.

A large lump came to Omicron’s throat. He could now see that Wolfgang had been fighting back tears of his own. While the ‘middle’ or mammal brain… the brain of the body… grieved… consistent with the Theology of Love… the man brain… the brain of the mind… began its ravings… its rationalizations in accordance with the Theology of the Will.. which one would have to believe…which one would have to continually fill his brain with… if the war… if Life were to go on…

I am not sad. In each of us… there is an I… an eternal I… our bodies are plant… which is earth, chemicals circulating in a meaningless but evolutionary way…. in this mass of plant resides something astonishing… it is a piece of the Cosmos… inside us… ‘looking out’…. I mean, each animal… thinks that it is the center of the universe… nothing more important than me… because I… am an I… I am ‘looking out’… I can’t imagine how others have the same experience…. it is incomprehensible that every animal has this…in fact every atom… when it is stripped of electrons… it is ‘revealed’ experiences the same thing…

Oh but you say… you are attributing human-like characteristics to things… No, I say… the I is attributing Cosmic-like characteristics to plants… and to animals…Cosmos…with a capital ‘C’…refers to a universe permeated with consciousness.

An I comes to earth to ‘Connect’… most of the universe is dark energy and dark matter… atoms alone… for an eternity… If an I can Connect… be sociable… with other beings… then atoms Connect… and the odds increase that that atom will be in the Light for the eternities… not in the darkness.

Perhaps when animals mate, ‘connection’ happens… perhaps just standing in a field with associate cows will do this… we are not sure yet… but Cyri and Anthony were Loved… here on earth… and they died for others… this latter is probably the crux of the matter… giving up one’s plant/animal existence for another… is probably the greatest thing an atom can do here on this earth… and probably is worthy of an eternity in the Light…

The major thing is… the I is eternal…so Cyri and Anthony… the most critical, crucial parts of their personalities… still exist somewhere… no doubt with others … in the Light.

Inside… Omicron’s bodily parts cried the anguish of millions of years of evolution… which the male had to control during times of war with the tools of his mind… but which he could never actually deny… tears which in times of peace… could be freely shed.

It was around midnight now. Omicron told the quartermaster who was in the foursome that he needed a new carrier. Gemstone avoided interaction with Omicron, as they had an understood conflict of their own. Omicron embraced Wolfgang, then he and the quartermaster sloshed blindly through the mud and the ferocious wind to a large covered personnel conveyer… which was filled with carriers. Omicron selected one, attached a searchLight, armed his cannon, and loaded in the supplies he would need if he were stranded far away from the troops. This carrier was equipped with automatic evasive action which would greatly reduce the chances of his being shot down. However, the craft in this mode would be extremely difficult to maneuver and usually only experienced veterans were able to completely control these vehicles. In Light of the fact that he had been able to maneuver his former craft when it had been badly mangled, Omicron now felt strangely confident … even though his brain was entering its low biorhythmic period… that he would be able to meet this challenge as well.

Omicron checked out with his lieutenant. Silver said that the boats were traveling slowly in the storm, but that some were within a couple of miles of the southern peninsula. He wanted Omicron to fly back with five other men who had returned for repairs and have one more crack at blasting the enemy out of the water. They were then to pursue them as they disembarked and attempted to move southward through the old City…towards the new City wall.

The six climbed into their carriers, strapped themselves in, and snapped the canopies shut. They took off with no one particularly in command… each was on his own. Thy used their altimeters to gauge how far they were from the water. They had maps of the Bay on their control panels with small illuminated dots showing them where they were, based on signals received from the navigation satellites swirling in space around the earth. They traveled as fast as they could into the wind and finally sighted some boats, which their control panel maps indicated were now very near the City. They then split up and searched for separate targets.

Omicron confronted three boats but sank only one as the gunmen in the boats were now quick to pick up the carriers’ searchLights… otherwise visibility in the storm was almost zero. Omicron saw one boat approaching the shore. Ahead he saw the Lights of several persons who had landed before, running rapidly on the land to meet it. Omicron put his carrier on automatic evasive action and charged.

Somehow, Omicron was able to move the craft which was heaving in every direction sequentially, randomly… in the general direction of the edge of the water. Dimly he could see three men in the hills and dilapidated structures on the land, who now started to fire cannons at Omicron. Omicron somehow managed to zero in on the boat from which two men were already disembarking leaving the gunman in the stern to ‘cover’ them. The fire from the cannons in the rocks on the shore was murderous… but Omicron grabbed the sword of victory and swooped down and somehow blasted the gunman in the stern and killed one of the men thrashing on foot through the water from the boat to the land.

By the time he turned, many men from the boats were splashing though the water to the land… to the shelter of old City buildings perched high on hills….upon which cable cars had once run up and down. On their way to the shore, the boats had to avoid running into the upper reaches of old skyscrapers, in areas now fully inundated with water from the Bay.

Omicron charged another boat coming in. He sustained fire simultaneously from ahead and from behind. His first pass was unsuccessful, and before he could turn, he saw three more boats coming in… and other blurs behind them. Two other carriers were within sight sweeping, firing, turning. One of these was blasted into a fireball before Omicron could turn his eyes away. He charged a boat approaching the land, his cannon blazing. However, he saw that this gunner had two cannons and these along with three others on board were just missing him… It was too hot and he took off vertically out of their range of fire.

He and another carrier focused in on the next boat. Omicron blasted the man at the wheel but missed the gunner. He was preparing to turn when the bottom of the other carrier was blasted off. The man attempted to eject, but fell with his collapsed parachute into the gray surging water below.

Omicron turned and attacked the boat again. He had the gunman in his sights when a piece of his canopy was blown off by a gunner in the bow of a boat behind him. He aimed again at the boat and blasted it to pieces. He then turned, and with another carrier, demolished the next boat.

But the reality was… five boats were now landing at a time… and as each landed, the men were running to protective structures on the shore and turning their cannons towards him… adding to the multitudes that were already there firing…. providing extremely effective cover for the last groups of boats that now were landing.

Two more carriers flashed into flames before his eyes… There were now only about a dozen carriers that Omicron could see… trying to stop the last fifty boats. Omicron confronted a large boat… he got the front gunner, but the back gunner blasted off his landing gear before he was able to sink the craft. Then he saw that seven more boats were right in front of him. Over one hundred boats now bobbed unoccupied at the shore… consequently, it was difficult to follow the last boats all the way in.. among the welter of boats. The tremendous difficulty of pinpointing targets near the shore… plus the cascade of fire from cannons fired from building overlooking the landing area… made it almost impossible for the carriers to continue their pursuit.

Omicron saw another carrier in flames… He dove for the next boat. He killed the gunman but another man took his place… to bombard Omicron again… as he turned for the kill. Omicron darted to the right suddenly… hit the boat from the side and sank it immediately.

The last boats were now within the protection of the cannons. Omicron and a whole line of carriers paused out of range… Omicron radioed the temporary base for further instructions. It was one in the morning. The rain was still coming down hard… Omicron was drenched from the hole in the canopy. He shivered… and pounded his fist into the metal control panel in front of him in disgust… as he awaited the first order… of the new day.
