2012 UPDATE

Do any of you really think that 12/21/2012 is super-significant? when I'm not high or depressed I'm more skeptical. All i know is we are speeding up-transforming-WE ARE HEADED TO THE OMEGA POINT!-(see my post for Nov. 27th 2008-THANKSGIVING DAY DREAM for a defination and explantion of THE OMEGA POINT!-This shit is the real deal!)

CAN SCIENCE PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD?

God exists and modern science can prove it, Jacob Zvi Brudoley argued in a speech hosted by Dartmouth’s Chabad on Friday. Even as his thick

New York accent and animated mannerisms held the audience’s attention, his controversial statements — such as his claim that anyone who

disagrees with him simply cannot handle the truth — often drew incredulous looks from the audience.

“Really, if you look at modern science, it points to the existence of God,” Brudoley said, “God is demonstrating his existence through science.”

Brudoley drew an analogy to the science-fiction movie “The Matrix” to illustrate the problem of assuming that the observable world is the

entirety of reality. He asked the audience to imagine a character in a video game who knew nothing outside the game. That character would

think, “This is the physical world, this is science, this is objective,” he said.

“How could you prove the existence of a creator in that world?” Brudoley asked the crowd, drawing a parallel to the search for God in today’s world.

He said that the only way to understand reality is through empiricism, a philosophy that relies only on provable statements. Referencing the

philosophy of 16th century French thinker Rene Descartes, Brudoley argued that the existence of one’s mind is the only verifiable fact because it is not subject to skewed perception.A materialistic view of the world — a view that does not accept God and instead attributes everything in the universe to the workings of

matter— is inherently flawed, he explained, because it does not take into account consciousness or free will. “There is no way to explain consciousness scientifically,” Brudoley

said. “It is impossible.” Although modern science can show a correlation between thought and brain activity, he added, it has not proven consciousness. Brudoley labeled materialism “psychotic” and “Neopagan” and asserted

that modern scientists dispute the existence of free will because the concepts of God and morality are too terrifying for them to face.

“I think there’s a massive, big, big group delusion going on in academia right now,” he said.

Instead, quantum physics points towards a more coherent view of the universe, Brudoley said. He cited the findings of the Copenhagen Conference, a 1937 meeting of physicists, to argue that all reality is subjective. This interpretation of the Copenhagan Conferences’s findings is very controversial among physicists. “There is no objective physical world unless you make an observation,” he said. Because a material universe cannot explain subjectivity, and

subjectivity is a proven factor in quantum theory, a materialist view of the universe must be incorrect, he said. Brudoley also drew on the Big Bang theory and the idea of quantum

entanglement to show that every particle of the universe is connected. Quantum entanglement is a property of matter that causes two linked

particles to exhibit related behavior regardless of how far they are separated. Since all particles were linked together prior to the Big

Bang, Brudoley said, all matter in the universe is entangled. Drawing on this idea, he asserted that all consciousness is therefore interconnected. “Everyone in this room has one single common identity,” he said. “There’s only one individual, and that is God.”

Terence McKenna Timewave Zero Novelty Theory

As usual, I find Terenece McKenna's thoughts to be right on spot. please see my thanksgiving Day Dream entry in this blog for more on McKenna's thinking

Thursday 27 November 2008-THANKSGIVING DAY -10AM

I woke up early at about 6am this fine Thanksgiving morning. It is wonderful to be alive. After going back to sleep (I only had a few hours previously) the most stunning dream that I ever remember having overwhelmed me. It was if I had reached the end of this utterly vital quest and it was a successful completion to say the least. Here I found myself and THE ANSWER to all things was finally figured out. I was possessed of this Godlike power to manipulate and orchestrate Time and Space and all living beings. I would move and dance to this haunting music and all reality including all living beings would grow and flower into this perfection. All the world, all objects and all people in my immediate locale would evolve and become PERFECT AND SHINING- actually giant, sublime gods. I had this ability to fly and dance this power and bestow the power to those others whom I had always known and we were slowly transforming the world. I cannot seem to really explain this-its like one of those LSD realizations that one can't fully find adequate words to describe. The difference is I still fully remember this realization and it has not disappeared when coming back into normal consciousness. In all my zapped out life, I never remember having such a profound and colorful also meaningful dream. It was almost a vision. I haven't had any intoxication's for at least 3 weeks and no weed or hallucinogens for 4 or 5 months.

Perhaps this Completion or Final Perfection I was able to dance into existence is or was sort of similar to The Omega Point or Noosphere. In the thought of Vladimir Vernadsky and Teilhard de Chardin, the noosphere (sometimes spelled noösphere) can be seen as the "sphere of human thought" being derived from the Greek ("nous") meaning "mind" + sfa a (sfaira) meaning "sphere", in the style of "atmosphere" and "biosphere." In the original theory of Vernadsky, the noosphere is the third in a succession of phases of development of the Earth, after the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the emergence of human cognition fundamentally transforms the biosphere. It is best described as a sort of 'collective consciousness' of human-beings. It emerges from the interaction of human minds. The noosphere has grown in step with the organization of the human mass in relation to itself as it populates the earth. As mankind organizes itself in more complex social networks, the higher the noosphere will grow in awareness. Chardin, added that the noosphere is growing towards an even greater integration and unification, culminating in the Omega Point-which he saw as the goal of history. My favorite philosopher and Mystic- Terence McKenna's refers to the Omega point as an inevitability: "Human history represents such a radical break with the natural systems of biological organization that preceded it that it must be the response to a kind of attractor or dwell point that lies ahead in the temporal dimension." You MUST check out McKenna's Novelty Thoery, if you haven't already. Novelty theory attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. My next post will be The Great Tripped Out One (and now dead one) describing his theory himself in this Youtube Video

Novelty theory has a few basic tenets:

* That the universe is a living system with a teleological attractor at the end of time that drives the increase and conservation of complexity in material forms.

* That novelty and complexity increase over time, despite repeated set-backs.

* That the human brain represents the pinnacle of complex organization in the known universe to date.

* That as the complexity and sophistication of human thought and culture increase, universal novelty approaches a curve of infinite exponential growth.

* That in the time immediately prior to, and during this omega point of infinite novelty, anything and everything conceivable to the human imagination will occur simultaneously. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* That the date of this historical endpoint is December 21, 2012, the end of the long count of the Mayan calendar. this date to the end of the current cycle of the Maya calendar.!!!! ***Also The election of Obama is at a very significant point in the novelty theory graph! ***

NOW BACK TO MY DREAM

This power was so wonderful and so RIGHT. I decided to fly to my home city of Baltimore, Maryland USA and transform my loved, home cesspool. As I and my peoples (Yo) worked the transforming power to complete and perfect the bustling urban nightmare of a city. The WORM IN THE APPLE slowly appeared. As we would perfect people and things the consummation was reconstructed into horrifying evil- personified by raging, ice storms and just this terrible wrongness that was way too unbearable for all. At the heart of this evil wrongness there was this immense Alien God eye that was laughing at our foolish mortal inadequacy. All the world was pissed at me and was hunting me but I fled and kept transforming shit. I could not even choose not too. I began to truly hate this power and tried to not use it and prayed for it too be removed but it was sort of like an addiction that was part of my being and it could not be renounced nor not used. All tricks were tried by me and others but it was unrenounceable. I wish I could find words to truly convey the familiar horrifying completion that we could bring to all. Time and Space were no barriers to me but were woven into the fabric of this transforming power. I kept dancing and bringing all to their natural evolving end. All was still So Big and powerfully complete but was so unbearably flawed. I awoke to begin immediate analysis of this Vision. All the expected parallels were drawn. The myth of Prometheus and the Nature of being fully human. I knew and know our all too human flawed nature, yet our Power of transformation. I hope this makes some sense to you. I still am fully in the grip of this. I fell asleep listening to some downloaded Coast to Coast AM shows that dealt with immediate Earth changes. 2012 Earth magnetic polarity shifts and the Mayan predictions for December 21st, 2012 and The Revelation of St John predictions of Wormwood falling to Earth and poisoning one third of all the waters of all the Earth.

Rev 8:10 And the third angel sounded, and a great star burning like a lamp fell from the heaven, and it fell on the third part of the rivers and on the fountains of waters.

Rev 8:11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood, and a third part of the waters became wormwood. And many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

WHAT IS MIND??

Do you ever wonder what the mind is? Only so much thought can be exerted into this almost unanswerable inquiry. Many greater minds than mine have wrestled with this question and you may wonder what I can add to the great multiplicity of writings on this subject. All of our understandings are unique to us. With the wonder of the net, we can all put our two cents in.
All Mind at large is an interesting and challenging concept to grasp. Can this concept even be properly understood? Maybe, but words cannot capture the complete essence of the Mind. With that, let's get you started on your journey to discover the deepest secrets of the universe. First of all, ask yourself why we only have five senses. Well, could it be that the five senses we presently experience are the only senses we need for survival? Aldous Huxley suggests that Mind at large is filtered down to the individual through a sort of cosmic funnel. The trickle that makes it through is our consciousness, our five senses, our life. You might say that those few who have a sixth sense have a higher understanding because their cosmic funnel is tapered slightly less, letting more consciousness seep in. Huxley argues that schizophrenics may have too much unneeded consciousness. They are involved in what we would call religious experiences almost constantly and they cannot escape the holiness of things, or for that matter, the evilness of things. Because of their higher state they are indefinitely detached.
Secondly, let's compare Mind at large for purposes of comprehension. Think of Mind at large like a great river. We are all connected and we are all part of this water, but when you scoop some out, this is the individual. We have separate identities but we are one. Every thing is affected by every thing. A simple action affects something miles away. Much like the eco-system, but on a more complex scale. Feel the air by waving your hand. This air connects us with everything. Third, let's talk about time. Forget all your acquired notions of what time is. Think of life without clocks and without dates.
Next, feel your self right NOW. Be mindful of the present. See the colors and experience the texture of this paper. Feel the air filling your lungs and the pressure on your feet. This is now and everything is constantly changing. Take time to actually do what you're doing. Try to imagine the complexity of things just for a better understanding of the world around you. Think about the inside of your body, from the large organs, all the way down to the smallest atom. Think of how harmonious your body is working in this very instant. It's chugging along so silently you don't even notice. Every time you step outside, an infinite amount of things are changing and moving all in harmony. It's the same every moment. Keep in mind, this is a very simple explanation because I am very limited with simple language.
Hopefully, these ravings I have passed to you may aid you in your life. Be mindful of the present and understand the world and the people and you can go very far. The journey of the mind is by far the most intense.

THE SOFTER SIDE OF THE COMPUTER INDUSTRY

Traditionally the natural sciences, particularly physics, have been regarded as the Gatekeepers of Truth. As such the legitimacy of others forms of knowledge have been called into question, particularly those methods that characterize the 'softer' sciences, and even the arts.
From Xerox, IBM and Sun to Intel and Microsoft, the nuts-and-bolts computer industry is embracing the social sciences. Engineers who cut their teeth on calculus and quantum physics are turning to practitioners of the softer sciences, people who know more about Maslow's hierarchy of needs than about Moore's Law on processor speed.
Why? The answer is in the need for software that can approximate the way our brains actually work. If we are ever going to reach the lofty goal of real “artificial intelligence” than we will have to admit contemporary reductionistic approaches have failed. We can’t reduce the beauty and complexity of our wonderful minds to Newtonian atomism. Instead the poets and the artists will show us the way. Are we ready?

REFLECTIONS OF MY AUNT

My aunt was so special! Just walking into a room- she seemed to fill it with light. Even at her bad moments , she knew how to laugh. I will miss her. The picture below was taken in a Maryland park in 1958. I was only 5 and was not present. I did a little artistic interpretation of the photo to show how I feel about Aunt Dee Dee watching over those she loves. She is now enfolded by the loving embrace of Our Lord but the following passage from the Book of Hebrews seems to say that those who are asleep in Christ are able to see the happenings on this sad, little planet.(The very last verse is the one that describes the Saints in Christ (and we are all Saints if we KNOW Him) being able to see the events in this world.
Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Heb 11:2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the ages were framed by a word of God, so that the things being seen not to have come into being out of the things that appear.
Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts. And by it he, being dead, yet speaks.
Heb 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, having been warned by God of things not yet seen, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out into a place which he was afterward going to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he went.
Heb 11:9 By faith he lived in the land of promise as a stranger, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs of the same promise with him.
Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Heb 11:11 By faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged Him who had promised to be faithful.
Heb 11:12 Because of this came into being from one, and that of one having died, even as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.
Heb 11:13 These all died by way of faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off. And they were persuaded of them and embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:14 For they who say such things declare plainly that they seek a fatherland.
Heb 11:15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from which they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Heb 11:16 But now they stretch forth to a better fatherland, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
Heb 11:17 By faith Abraham, being tested, offered up Isaac. And he who had received the promises offered up his only-begotten son,
Heb 11:18 of whom it was said that in Isaac your Seed shall be called,
Heb 11:19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from where he even received him, in a figure.
Heb 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
Heb 11:21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Heb 11:22 By faith, Joseph dying remembered concerning the Exodus of the sons of Israel and gave orders concerning his bones.
Heb 11:23 By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child. And they were not afraid of the king's commandments.
Heb 11:24 Having become great, Moses by faith refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter,
Heb 11:25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time,
Heb 11:26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt, for he was looking to the reward.
Heb 11:27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.
Heb 11:28 Through faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest He who destroyed the first-born should touch them.
Heb 11:29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, which the Egyptians attempting to do were drowned.
Heb 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed seven days.
Heb 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.
Heb 11:32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gideon and Barak and Samson and Jephthah; also David, and Samuel and the prophets,
Heb 11:33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Heb 11:34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the strangers.
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again, and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Heb 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings; yes, more, of bonds and imprisonments.
Heb 11:37 They were stoned, they were sawed in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented.
Heb 11:38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains and dens and caves of the earth.
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise,
Heb 11:40 for God had provided some better thing for us, that they should not be made perfect without us.
Heb 12:1 Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Heb 12:2 looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.
