Steps

First there was an idea. Next came a plan. After that came the dreams of a future. Then worry came in the form of nerves, and random suffocation. Finally fleeting moments of trying to find meaning. Such are the steps of life and love.

Fitting In

Fitting in is all about relationships. Fitting in is probably next to the survival imperative. We all want to belong to something or someone. We all want to be loved and to have friends and if we are really cooking maybe a soulmate or two. Before the invention of blogging, fitting in required everyone to have a physical presence with that other person. It was easy if you were the same gender. Not so easy if you weren’t the same gender. The problem arose because between genders there were boyfriends and girlfriends. Sure the boyfriend and girlfriend will say that they are understanding and may sincerely believe it. The problem arose because everyone has a built-in survival imperative that switches on in the presence of a threat. The survival imperative mechanism doesn’t live in the subtleties. It is all or nothing. The best solution for the survival imperative is not to have the perceived threat around. Blogging doesn’t require anyone to have a physical presence with the opposite gender. As long as you have reasonable social skills, vocabulary, and can write an understandable sentence you’re in. When you post on someone’s blog they can either reply or ignore you. Nothing’s simpler. If someone replies, you’re on your way to establishing an emotional relationship. It is unencumbered by boyfriends and girlfriends. For me, it is the closest thing you can have on earth to a relationship with The Second Lady. Unbounded, unconditional, and unfettered love!!!

Clueless

Why did The Second Lady chose a man rather than a woman to bring her message to earth??? It seems reasonable to me that a woman would have been the logical choice. Let’s face it. Woman have raised more men, on average, than anyone else including chance. They are problem solvers. They can sense future events better than most men. So why??? The Second Lady chose a man because men generally screw things up which was the major requirement in this instance. It all comes down to the sad fact that if something is to be remembered you have to screw it up first. Heaven knows the number of books that have been generated by a male’s stupidity. If a woman had been chosen no one would have remembered the "message" because it would have been delivered efficiently and that would have been that. Perhaps this is a man’s true function in life. To basically screw things up. The Second Lady, for a job well done, has made us men generally clueless so our feelings will never be hurt.

Eyeballs or Gut????

The saving grace for most of us is that we lead essentially dull and unexciting lives. I suspect the reason for this is due to our inability to handle a full blown relationship based on personality. Most people have a relationship based on what they can eyeball. The ladies go for Pecs, Abs and a tight rear. The men for anything that looks reasonable and has boobs attached to it. A personality relationship is the ultimate wild ride. To add to the fun, it may be someone involved in one of the arts, such as acting, where success is measured by their ability to interact convincingly with strangers. You know intellectually and emotionally that everything is OK but that person on the screen seems to have chemistry with every stranger. Do you trust your eyeballs or gut???

Any Day

Thanksgiving is the day to look around as well as backwards & forwards. Backwards to remember your friends that have disappeared into the mist of time. Still out there somewhere merrily chugging along without you. Perhaps they will return someday and you can pick up exactly where you left off. You think of your present day friends and the wonderful times they have given you. The people you have met that will make you cry if they have to leave for whatever reason. You look forward to unknown and unanticipated adventures that you will either enjoy or have to solve for whatever reason. No matter what happens just remember:

1. Don’t let your fears define the boundaries of your dreams.

2. No matter which way the wind blows, you can still trim your sails.

3. Any day you’re alive is a good day.

Seasons & Reasons

All of us meet people. Sometimes they turn out to be friends, lovers, and if you’re really cookin’ soulmates. It’s something like the changing seasons. They come, they go and they (sometimes) return. People may enter your space stage right and exit stage left because you and they have a minor part in some unknown onlooker’s life. Some people enter your life because you raised a question or made an off the cuff suggestion that The Second Lady has picked up on. You may even have asked for help and then forgotten about it. Maybe you have met someone because they have a need which is unknown to you, but when the rubber has to hit the road you’ve got the answer. Sometimes the newly minted person in your life brings personal growth or just makes you laugh. Others just make you feel good. Some make you happy no matter what your mood. Sometimes The Second Lady brings you into someone else’s life and smoothes the path for some indiscernible reason which may or may not be revealed far into the future. If you have been drafted by The Second Lady never forget it is a privilege to enter someone’s life in any meaningful way. You’re only there to give, assist, and help and not to run their life. Sometimes you don’t know why you’re there and if you are really lucky The Second Lady is guiding you along a mysterious, irrational, and illogical path . All you have to do is to keep the faith, trust implicitly , be alert, watch the stones, and not fall off . There are no foreseeable rewards but the future compensation could be infinite. It’s tough work, but others before you have tread the same path.

Crush, Sweat & "Just Is" Love

There’re 3 kinds of love. The first is crush. You love someone and he / she never notices. ‘Nuff said. Sweat love is the commonest. That’s the one where you try too hard, give concessions to get it "right" and generally spend hours convincing yourself it is "true" love. The greatest love is "Just Is" which tends to occur naturally. It is the rarest. No adjustment is required. Frequently The Second Lady is behind it. It is the closest thing to experiencing The Second Lady’s full blown love. Some people have experienced an inkling of The Second Lady’s love in a near death experience. Most people never experience the "Just Is" kind of love. If you have "Just Is" all your friends keep asking you very politely "How are things going???" or make comments that "You seem to have changed " . You also have a tendency to go around with a silly face (or slightly out of character face) or smile as you walk down the street whether anyone is around or not. People may avoid you because you appear "strange". "Just Is" love is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

When It’s Love

When it's love it just doesn't much matter how you twist and turn, what you say, act out, or try to convince others, it "Just Is" and will forever "BE".

So???

One of the fascinating questions of this universe is the one "Why are we here???" For most people it seems to be "Do onto others before they do you." I can’t conceive that The Second Lady would go to all this work if each of us only have 3 score and 10 years of life. The nearest thing I can come up with is the thought that she wants us to learn something while we’re here. It is only logical. Life is full of different paths. Life is full of decisions. Life has randomness, order and chaos. All the elements of learning because we must overcome the challenges to succeed. We come in with nothing and we go out with nothing. So why bother to accumulate wealth and generally stick others before they stick you?? It seems to me to be a colossal waste of time. I may be crazy but it seems to me to have excellent Karma you need to think positive thoughts and try to help as many people as you can even if they will never know. The true secret of life is to enjoy your journey, look at the scenery along your path, don’t judge, don’t panic, and finally just let it Be.

Thoughts

Thoughts are more than memories. Thoughts can change the future. The Second Lady can take your thoughts and turn them into reality. She works in many ways. She may use your friends, complete strangers or seemingly unconnected events. She may forewarn you that something unique is about to happen through your dreams. It is, usually, a mild unsettling feeling that you can’t quite get out of your mind no matter how hard you try. It flows over your whole Being. You suddenly realize that for some unaccountable reason your whole Being is about to be rewritten. Who and what you are is about to be changed. You are free to reach out and become One.

String Theory

We are all puppets on an unseen string. Someone wrote the play, but neglected to give us the script. On the surface we are all jerked around like here and now creatures. Our brains collect memories and our eyes see objects in the hope that we can divine the future, but the future doesn’t extrapolate exactly from the past. We hunger for something new and exciting but cannot escape the string. We think, but realize nothing. Perhaps, in time, The Second Lady will give us a hint.

Patterns

All of life is a series of patterns. We have rules, culture, plans, procedures, organizations, hierarchies, rituals, and all that jazz. The dance of life begins. Watch the patterns swirl, twist and turn. Will love, compassion and empathy keep them straight??? Only The Second Lady, who plays the fiddle, knows for sure and she ain’t talkin’.

We’ve Come A Long Way, Baby

Positives!! Be positive, think positive, act positive. Make the world move and grove "+". Feel those vibes!!

Love Sign

When two souls switch from me to you.

True Love

True love comes when a soul bonds with another soul. If that doesn't happen all you have is friendship.

Life’s Three Levels

There are 3 levels to our lives. The first level is our every day 3 dimensional level. This is the level that you see through the old eyeball. The one in which you spend 99% of your time interpreting. You know how it goes. Do I look nice?? What image do I want to project??? Do I fit in??? Most people spend their entire lives on this level. The second level involves the soul. The only time most people ever hear about it is if they go to church / synagogue / whatever. The only context in which they hear about their soul involves the question, "Are you going to lose it???" I mean, like man, how can you answer that question if you know nada about it??? It seems to be important because some people in authority spend a lot of time talking about it. Some people think a soul is something that keeps us on the straight and narrow. It talks to us if we fall off / are in danger of falling off. The soul is more than that. It is our second Level "Being", our spirituality, for lack of a better word . It’s dimensionless, yet has dimensions. The third or top level involves God. The word God seems to have been overused to the extent that its’ meaning has been corrupted. We use it everywhere with little thought. God is generally presented as some fearsome short tempered person that doesn’t tolerate bad behaviour. Sort of like parents on meth. God also involves "love". Love, to most people, means that if you love me, then you will give me stuff. Love also means that I may have treated you badly but I still "love" you. Why should God get such a bad rap??? God seems like a nice person to me. I talk to her all the time. She seems reasonable. Try talking to her. She won’t bite your head off.

Bottle Fed Men

There are some basic truths in this world. Of course, nothing is 100%, because there are always exceptions. But in this case the basic truth is around 99%. After thoughtful and careful study, it seems to me that bottle fed men, in general, are more sophisticated, socially useful and intelligent. It all revolves around imprinting. It seems that a duck or a goose or anything else that has to do with an egg thinks the first thing it sees is its’ mother. What happens if something goes wrong???? Let’s look at breast fed men for example. Men come out of the birth canal as blind as a bat. So far, so good. Before some men know what hit them, they, through no fault of their own, are swinging at the end of a humungus breast associating breast and food as one and the same thing. Right then and there the poor breast fed man is being imprinted. It seems to me that if a man is imprinted from birth with the idea that his mother is a giant pendulistic breast he shouldn’t be criticized for what follows. But unfortunately, as we all know, life isn’t fair. Most men, facing these conditions, become psychologically impaired. They think that love is a decent pair of Hooters. There are whole economic systems, such as beer and sports, built on impaired men and their desperate unending search for Hooters. Some of the sisters have a weak spot for those men. Ladies, they’re not a good bet. Breast fed men, desperate for Hooters, cannot comprehend that sometimes the sisters are too exhausted from work, cooking, raising the kids and doing the housework. "Not tonight" becomes a ringing death bell for these men. Breast fed men have feelings of desperation. They invest a lot of energy in trying to maintain a relationship, but these men can only do so much to overcome "Not tonight". Breast fed men start to lose confidence. Self esteem / self worth becomes an issue. Now, I really shouldn’t try to advise the sisters, but it seems to me, if you are looking for a long term relationship, then the intelligent and logical thing to do is to find a bottle fed man. Fortunately, for the sisters, they don’t have to be put in the awkward position of asking the question on the first date. Just observe.

Trust, Faith & Other Impossibles

It all starts out when we are born. Down the old chute on automatic because we don’t know from nothing. No automatic pilot, no future. Our first introduction to reality is a slap on the behind to get us started. The next thing someone comes along with a humungus pair of scissors and snips off the old feeding tube. After that someone takes a look at my privates without reading me my rights. It’s also colder than hell in this place. I just want to crawl back up that long slide and be cozy again. Looking back on that experience I think it is the source of all my lack of trust and faith. The insincerest thing I hear is how cute and cuddly I am after everyone has violated me. I’ve lost complete trust and faith in everything. I find that I can’t literally take one step at a time and get out of here. I’m completely dependent on these obviously sadistic creatures. The next thing that happens is that I’m lifted towards a gigantic swinging pendulum that will take my head off if it hits me. The first ½ hour of life and psychologically damaged for life. Is this what it is all about????

Science Fiction Has Taught Me About Life

If you think seriously about life for a moment, the most important thing you need to know is if something is alive or dead. You definitely need this information to date effectively. Here are some pointers taken from science fiction:

1. The object of your attention has to have the ability to recognize your existence. There are various ways to recognize something exists, but the most common way is through eyesight. If you are in the market, it is necessary to examine his / her eyes to see if there is any life. It is a window to the soul thing. You know how it goes, no soul equals no nothing.

2. Does the object of your attention have opposable thumbs??? After all you don’t want the psychological impression that you are being grabbed by the scruff of the neck in those heated moments of deep understanding.

3. Language is very important. There has to be some means of communication. Presumably the object of your affection has mastered the subtleties of "Duh" and is ready to move on. I mean, let’s face it, to be successful, you have to repeat yourself in various ways to maintain the illusion of attention and progress. Sort of the same process used in bringing up children with suitable modifications.

4. Culture is very important. It is a ritualistic way of passing information on to future generations. Sort of a Berlitz book on getting it right. It is also very important in the parent approval process in case you need money for a wedding.

Lastly, there is a rare form of communication that generally happens out of the blue which I like to call the "Duh Factor". It is very difficult to explain without sounding genetically stupid. For those that are unfamiliar with the process it generally goes like this. You’re sitting around, with your brain in neutral. Something happens for no intelligently discernible reason. You, for some undeserving reason have skipped 1 to 4 above. Something that --- and you will have to trust me on this "just is".

God Does Kiss

I’ve been thinking about the Theory Of Everything. In case you haven’t heard about it, it is a theory that says there is a mathematical formula which explains everything in this universe as long as you can plug in the right numbers. I haven’t a clue about that formula. My writing has been about a lot of God’s trees in her mighty forest. Basically, I, being highly curious, have been trying to understand the principles on which she built our universe. So far I’ve learned that, like us, she isn’t interested in doing a lot of work. She wants a self sustaining universe so she has constructed mechanisms to keep it running. She uses something equivalent to a vacuum cleaner to keep the universe tidy. She uses randomness, order and chaos to keep things from becoming boring for you and I. She has organized various professions that accent different principles so you and I can use those concepts or even modify them for use somewhere else. She has provided us with plants and animals so we can apply their living principles to our lives. The essence of God’s genius, is that she has taken a simple concept that can be mechanized, modified and applied to problems. Love is an example. People say they "love" doing this or that. We have a love industry that can satisfy horizontal needs. We love someone. God loves us. God kisses us. In her simplest application, kiss means "keep it simple stupid". In its’ complex form it’s God’s kiss for doing good work.. That kiss has a WOW factor that still has me in a daze, incoherent, and nonfunctional.

My Life Is Based On Ducks

My life is based on Duck Principles. I’m a procrastinator which is just like ducking. I like to maintain a cool, unruffled exterior, with all my feathers neatly in place. Sometimes, however, through no fault of my own, I get into a flap. I’m curious, which means I’m furiously paddling underneath to keep up. I like to see what’s going on so I’m generally found at the back of any line. I enjoy writing which is basically stringing words and thoughts into a line which seems to me, on reflection, based on duck genes. I don’t talk much because I can sense things. Once again, I seem to have a navigational system that is genetically duck based as I seem to eventually "get" somewhere anyway. I have a built in grasp of the principle of investments because I don’t put all my eggs in one basket. I think financial people call it diversification. I waddle when I walk. That way I present a moving target both laterally and vertically so I’m harder to hit or even figure out because no one knows what is coming next including me. I tuck my face into my armpit like a duck and fall asleep. My answer to everything in life is a simple, yet demonstrative "quack, quack". I’m always dipping into the water to see if something is headed my way. I never look behind because what is past is past. To me, it is logical that if God had wanted me to look behind, I’d have eyes in the back of my head. Now if I could only find my galoshes I’d go out and get into the hot tub.

Something In Nothing

I like thinking about life. I’m also fascinated by why things work. I also like a good mystery, but I’m never able to figure out what is going to happen next. Sometimes in life, as we all well know, something happens that is wonderful and has no rational 3 dimensional reason for existing. When this happens you and I usually start digging around in our 3 dimensional illusionary existence to see why it happened. Usually, that examination brings up nada. Most of us stop there, forgetting that we have another life called Forms Of Reality. Don’t ask me to explain it because I’m clueless. It just exists one level above our illusions which is generally defined as "life". I suspect that God has a lot to do with its’ existence. I like to think our Forms Of Reality are a series of railway tracks between God and us. God is the headlight on each of our Forms Of Reality Train as they go down that track. That movement of our personal trains gives us a life that is always moving forward. If we have her as our headlight it is less likely that we are going to get into any permanent doodoo. Since she provides us with such a large headlight sometimes we can’t see around her and all the way down the track. You may be able to glimpse an oncoming light that human nature automatically thinks is another train. She knows she is taking you towards the Light. I guess this is the origin of the saying "Just Keep the Faith Baby".

The Second Lady

Most men carry around a small boy inside of them. It sort of just exists. Sometimes we do things and get into trouble with women. Women have a nurturing gene which means that they are generally sympathetic to small boys no matter where they are located. My problem started, as most problems do, rather innocently. I was sitting here one day and it suddenly occurred to me that God has just got to be a woman. I proceeded to post about my theory and the more I wrote, the bolder my comments got. Being a man, I naturally thought if I wasn’t struck down God sort of agreed. Sorry pal. I don’t know if my readers are up on women so here is a simple truth. Women handle things very subtly. If you are a man who has a girl friend, significant other, or is married you know what I mean. You would think that I, being a man, would be smart enough to realize if you irritate a woman who has designed the universe and has "life" experience from year 0 you could be asking for trouble big time. My present predicament sort of reminds me of what happened to the mythical gods that got out of line. You probably know how the story goes. One god irritates the other gods. The other gods gang up on the one god. Gods aren’t allowed to kill gods so they bring in a gorgeous chicky poo who was basically a chattel in those years and have the god fall in love with said chicky poo. The kicker is that if said god approaches said chicky poo in any way the god loses his eternity. A neat solution to a problem. If we modernize the story the now outstandingly gorgeous woman becomes a modern self sufficient woman well able to look after herself. What the second lady did was brought a soulmate into my life. That in itself isn’t bad, because, generally speaking, I can pine away with no one being the wiser. Unfortunately the second lady took it a step further. She went and switched on the modern woman’s soulmate gene. Here’s the kicker. If two soulmate genes are switched on, you now have two life forces zipping back and forth between two people. So now I’m in the old god position of look, communicate, but don’t touch plus the responsibility of looking after the innocent person’s life force. So here am I bathing away in the midst of someone’s tremendous life force, and walking around in a fog. Come to think about it, that ain’t a bad way to live!!! Maybe God thinks I’m going good after all!!

Soulmates

One of the great anguishes in life is trying to decide what exactly is a soulmate. A soulmate is not a good friend, even though they may share a lot of similar characteristics. You may have more than one friend so you may, if you are lucky, have more than one soulmate. The definition of a soulmate that appeals to me is someone to whom we feel profoundly connected, as through the communicating that takes place between us were not the product of intentional efforts , but rather a divine grace. It is something that is just there whether we like it or not. To me it is like a mind meld of two Forms Of Reality into one. A soulmate is someone that puts you first no matter what contrary to our 3 dimensional survival imperative. The other person’s Forms Of Reality are what comes first and your Forms Of Reality are secondary. If you are soulmates you tend not to argue because both of your independent Forms Of Reality are fully integrated to act as one. You cannot create a soulmate by living together or by spilling your most intimate details. In fact, a soulmate may never know you in any detail. A soulmate just "knows" your Forms Of Reality.

Be Bop

Everyone bandies "Love" around as a cool / sophisticated topic. Gallons of agonizing ink is spilled on the subject. Even the perennial Jack Daniel’s puts in a word. Soulmate is the operative word. If people are truly connected nothing will keep them apart. Both of you exist in Forms Of Reality. Forms Of Reality is really Heaven by another name. The nice thing is that God has decided to let everyone have more than one soulmate. It’s more than "if one is seeking the soul-mate within". Sometimes God gets sick and tired of twiddling her thumbs waiting for one’s "progress". She sets up a series of events so that a soulmate comes along and bops you on the head. It can be an earth shattering experience. God has decided to take you into her "Substance of Being". God has decided to "be bop" you. She says you have to take it as an "Article Of Faith". It’s "Be Bop (A lulu) Time"!!

Love, Illusion & Reality

Illusion is visible and Reality has form. It’s like love which has 2 people with integrated interests and one soul inside an intertwining form in a misty reality. You know your love is real and has form but you can’t explain it because it resides on a border between form and formless. Your friends notice that you have changed. They want to know why. Your friends may not understand your reality because to them it appears as a visible illusion. Sometimes, for no rational reason, you fall in love with someone whom you have never seen. This ultimate love is the one that you know has a grip on you, is for keeps whether you like it or not, has a very real and lasting effect, drives you nuts, can’t be explained, is impervious to whether you marry someone else, and generally causes a gigantic headache. If your friends have noticed you have changed they will naturally want to know why. If you tell them you are madly in love with a Form of Reality that is ethereal you will be inundated with every person that ever crossed your path. The word goes out and former significant others will want you to have lunch with them. Your former significant others will tell you that even though your and their relationship ended, you and they will be friends forever. When the time is right they will tell you that you are nuts. Your girl friends will wonder what has happened to someone that is bright, intelligent, incisive, and insightful. All you can do is sit there and smile because deep down you know your Life Force has connected with another mysterious and wonderful Life Force. That is all that can be said no matter how hard you try.

Will We Pass???

We’re all in a symbiotic relationship with God. There are many steps but the first one is to cement a relationship between our visible matter filled illusions and our invisible formed Reality. God has given us the tools and has agreed to assist us if we are prepared to provide the sweat. We have the ability to develop insightful relationships with our Reality and God. Life on earth, at its’ simplest, is a field test for all of us. If we get it right we pass. If we don’t, we get to take "earth" all over again. All we can do is keep our wits and unconditionally help each other. Life on earth is where we learn in order to take the next step. We have randomness, order, and chaos to provide the adventure and challenges. We have Freedom Of Choice. We have consequences, both good and bad. That is us, you and I!!!

Levels

Each of us have 3 levels of existence. The first level is the world we exist in now. It’s illusionary in the sense that our ego / consciousness defines how we interpret incoming information. Our ability to interpret the incoming information is largely proportional to our life experiences, mental gifts, and insight. Our 2nd level is Life Force. Life Force is the Soul’s Reality. The 3rd level is God. Each level is more powerful than the last. Your 2nd level Life Force, functioning in Reality, is a converter / interpreter between your illusionary first level and God. Your 2nd level Life Force may also have an independent existence and relationships with other Life Forces that are beyond a 1st level’s illusionary understanding or sometimes, even knowledge. I have a strong nagging feeling that God has started to recruit and train individuals to work in the area between illusion and reality. It will not be easy.

The Fun House

I went to a fun house the other day. For those that don’t know what a fun house is, it’s a house filled with curved mirrors that create illusions by distorting your physical persona. The most interesting thing about the fun house was the frames that held the mirrors. These frames followed the curve of the mirrors in two dimensions. I looked at the other people in the room and reality told me that they hadn’t changed physically. I couldn’t look at myself, so I worked on the assumption that I wasn’t the only weird person, physically speaking, in the room. I was also comforted by the thought that God, like us, doesn’t like to do a lot of unnecessary work, so in all probability I was similar to everyone else. It sort of reminded me of life. Two dimensionally we all live in frames. Three dimensionally we live in cubic space. Perhaps you have heard of people getting all hot and bothered about something or other invading their space. Each of us interpret our world from inside our personal space. Our personal tool box to interpret what we see is of various quality and quantity, usually proportional to our life experiences, mental gifts and physical appearance because most people’s space runs on eye appeal. God, being fair, has developed a system to bring the information to our personal space at the same speed. She, being wise, has installed a Life Force which usually exists outside our personal space. It acts as a conduit between God and you and I in our personal space. A Life Force is similar too, but not exactly equivalent to, your ego / consciousness. Your ego / consciousness is a personal space based interpretation of you. Your Life Force is usually a complete stranger to your ego / consciousness. For most people, it is a surprise that they are even hauling around a Life Force. Your Life Force lives in a world of infinite reality. It is generally out there doing its’ own thing and looking for action with other Life Forces. Occasionally, our Life Force, finds another Life Force and the frolicking begins. The forces existing between Life Forces are infinite and sometimes your personal space is dragged around with the fun. The next thing you know is that your personal space is all distorted and you, for whatever, unfathomable reason get dragged into the action. A wise and deep person once told me that "I am what I seek." I suppose, based on that imparted wisdom that I should talk to my Life Force, but hell, It’s so much fun!!

Desire

Desire is found on many levels. The first level is our 3 dimensional existence. We "desire" fame, fortune, success, money and the love of a beautiful man / woman. We pray to God / Source Of All Things for material benefits to satisfy our ego / consciousness. Sometimes we get into various pots of water and pray to God to get us off the hook. Sometimes she does & sometimes she doesn’t. Life is a learning process (isn’t it ??) and sometimes we have to "sweat" to reach the next level. Sometimes, we go beyond prayer in a formal setting and just talk to God as we walk along doing our 1st level activities. During those conversations, we may inadvertently make suggestions to God about our life in a non wanting / pleading way. Sometimes, through a series of seemingly unconnected events over God’s "Time", God brings that off hand suggestion into our 3 dimensional reality. Sometimes, God comes to you through your Life Force and says "I’ll take you on a wondrous journey helping others. I’ve given you a powerful skill set. Be careful how you use it as it carries great responsibility. There will be no glory and sometimes the walk will be difficult. You may not always see me, maybe even feel abandoned, but I’ll be there." And the journey began!!

Leadership

Sometimes you’re chosen through circumstance. Sometimes no one wants it and you’re better than nothing. Sometimes you run for the position. Running for leadership is no time to discuss complicated problems in any detail. You need a jazzy 30 second sound bite. It would also be nice if you had a catchy phrase that encapsulates something that is part of the voter’s being. For instance, "Family Values" is good. Everyone has "Family Values" and everyone can fill in their personal bias as to what it means. Leadership demands that you make promises. The promises have to be vague like "Improve your circumstances." It is asking for disaster to have a specific promise like "Lower your fuel bills". If you are someone who really likes to tempt the Fickle Finger Of Fate put a date on when this is to happen!! No one, not even psychics, can nail down future events to the minute!! The Fickle Finger Of Fate does exactly what she feels like doing, whenever, which means that the future events seen before an election are not exactly the future events after an election. Would you run a train off the tracks in order to keep a promise and by implication, also save your integrity??

Reality

We all have our own reality. Our individual realities are the product of all our life experiences from the day our soul is placed in our body. Each of us have reality challenges. Some are physical, some mental, and some external. Our reality interprets our world. In order to make sense of our surroundings, we interpret our world as a series of patterns. There are plenty of examples. For instance, we pattern groups of people, religions, cultures, and geographical locations. We bring our life’s experience to interpret these patterns. Each of us makes a judgment as to whether someone we meet is an acquaintance, friend or soulmate. Reality has 3 levels. The bottom reality involves the ego. Our 3 dimensional being, which we all eyeball in one another, has to be able to function efficiently and successfully or we are toast. This means that our ego or consciousness has to be in decent enough shape that we can cope successfully with randomness, order and chaos to achieve our life’s perceived aims and objectives. The next level is our life force. The life force is philosophically equivalent to our lower level ego but not exactly the same, but is, however, an integral part of our Soul. Our Soul’s interests are usually totally divergent from our ego’s interests because they both function in different environments. Our Soul is the main conduit between God and our 3 dimensional reality. Most people don’t have a clue about their Soul beyond being worried that they will lose it. How many times have you met someone and discovered that they were actually interesting once the ego was gently lifted out of the way??? Well, that’s their Soul talkin’!! The 3rd reality level is God. She really wants us to succeed so she helps us with our life force. Most people don’t avail themselves of God’s willingness to help them with their life force beyond asking her to give us something or remove us from whatever pot of water is boiling us at the moment. Poets, Romanticists, and the Inquisitive all have their reality. Their reality is "real" to them even though it may not be "real" to you. To have love you have to have compatibility with each other, with your interests, and lastly with your souls. This means that you have to match your "reality" with an outsider’s "reality". Do I exist??? Probably!! I think, therefore I am in my own reality!! Hopefully, you do too and are out there somewhere!!

Life Is (A) Stool

Life is built on 3 legs of (a) stool. The first being religion, the second science, and the third life force. Right now a lot of people are in a period of restlessness. This restlessness has a lot of specific names such as stress, me first philosophy, general dissatisfaction, etc.. Frequently, we get involved in power struggles, or mind games. If we win we feel better as we have absorbed part of someone else’s life force. If we lose, we feel like stool because they have absorbed some of our life force. It stands to reason that there is only so much life force floating around that we can absorb from someone else. The other problem is that we screw up our personal Time String which has to be strong to work efficiently. Our Time String brings good things into our life if we exclude the effects of randomness which hits everyone once in a while. The Time String also attracts events, usually in groups of 3, over relatively short periods of Time. The trick is to attract good events which is easier said than done. We all run into negativity all the time. Some people say we shouldn’t be doing this or that because we are wasting time. Others say they won’t read our blogs. Some criticize us for some other perceived shortcoming. My readers, this is all bullshit designed to absorb your life force. The trick is to turn the other cheek attached to your face rather than the one attached to your bum. In fact it is better to abandon all negative cheekiness!! If you add a smile during cheek turning this will drive them nuts overall and specifically / disorganize their life force / create anxiety / crisis of confidence in them / thereby getting them off your back!! If you adopt these principles then you will find that your life "is" rather than "isn’t"!!

One Of Life’s Little Conundrums

If God is all powerful and all seeing then she knows what is going to happen. If you agree with that statement then there isn’t any Free Will but there is Predestination. It follows that if there is Predestination then you and I cannot be held responsible for something over which we have no control / say in the matter. Consequently it would seem to me that all of us are going to heaven no matter what happens.

Love Triangle

The people in our lives can be classified in 3 categories, acquaintances, friends and soulmates. The acquaintances are those people that you perceive to have a personality about one or two notches above a brick wall. Friends come down to 3 basic subcategories, friend, friend with benefits, and any adjective friends. When we are young and filled with lots of hormones the territorial imperative tells us to reproduce our kind. This means young love is primarily a 3 dimensional experience which revolves around gorgeous bodies, smart cars, and financially rewarding jobs. There isn’t anything wrong with this setup except that it won’t last because of the trinity of randomness, order and chaos in our world. The presence of chaos means that no matter how much we try to bring order to our body it soon deteriorates beyond repair. There is also a possibility when you married your best guess, your souls were incompatible and you had no common long term interests. Time advances, your body start to go, sex disappears and to top it off your souls are acquaintances!! It is then that you realize that true love is based on an amalgamation of 3 things, people, common interests, and souls or in other words your garden variety love triangle!!

The Great Attractor

According to my religion, I’m made in God’s Image. If this is true, then both God and I loath doing a lot of unnecessary work. In my posting, "The Ms.’s Plan", I casually mentioned in passing that to keep things from becoming boring, she added randomness, order and chaos to spice up our life in this universe. Most of us have a conception of randomness because lots of things come out of the blue to whack us on the side of the head. Order is not too hard to understand, especially if you have been exposed to a mother that thinks cleanliness is close to godliness. Chaos is a lot harder to grasp. Normally, if something is chaotic, it means that something is on a road to rapidly becoming non-existent. It stands to reason that if God doesn’t want to do a lot of work yet wants us to last in this universe, then the universe has to have an Attractor to restore the Chaos to order. If you agree that this universe seems to be based on mathematics, then it is logical to assume that the Attractor has to be a number. The number has to be small because she also works on the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle. My best guess is the number is 3. Let’s see. Love, to be eternal, has to be an amalgamation of 3 things, people, common interests, and souls. We have 3 dimensions, length, width and height. Three strikes and you’re out. Things, good or bad, usually happen in 3’s. Most discussions have 3 major points. Traffic lights usually have 3 lights, red for stop, yellow for caution and green for go. You are usually given 3 chances to accomplish something. Most people can only remember 3 things on a list. The triangle, consisting of 3 sides, is the strongest form of construction. The people you know in your life can be classified as acquaintances, friends and soulmates. Yes indeedy, it seems that the number 3 is The Great Attractor / The Great Attraction that holds my life together!!!

The Ms.’s Plan

When God created the inhabitants of this earth she had to give them something to do. She came up with the idea of having all the religions built on a book of core principles and illustrative stories to give the inhabitants an idea as to what was expected and to get them started. She decided to let the inhabitants work out the details for each specific life case and circumstance using the core principles and illustations as a guideline. This challenge to the inhabitants was the basis for the saying "The Devil is in the details.". Since travel and communication were limited in terms of time and space that could be covered at once, she was forced to organize circumstances in different parts of the world to get the word out through a variety of people and seemingly natural events in different places. To keep things from becoming boring, she added randomness, order and chaos as spices to the mix. God, besides having to give the inhabitants something to do, also had to put together systems so the universe would function efficiently. After Religion became chaotic as I outlined in "The Magic Box", the Scientific Method was invented and was based on the testing of an idea using methods that could be duplicated to come to a conclusion and then publishing that conclusion. This need to publish invented the concept of media because various people started to comment on the ideas being published and proven. They then extended this concept to anything that couldn’t necessarily be proven and might even be objectionable for one reason or another to some people. Finally, we reach blogging. For the first time in history, the ordinary people that aren’t going to be missed by the world at large when they die, can express their opinion worldwide for very little money. The ultimate Ms.’s Plan.

Creative Writing Hints

I was tooling around some blogs and noticed that a lot of people are going back to school. Here’s some first sentence hints to get them started writing winning stories.

1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience. Perhaps like a guy who went blind because he used a pinhole box improperly to look at a solar eclipse. Now his sole objective in life is to visit every school to speak about the dangers of using pinhole boxes without reading the instructions first.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli and he was room-temperature beef.

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as last night’s leftovers.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot-three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, something like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, similar to being on vacation in another city and discovering Jeopardy! comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like frying maggots in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a suburban neighbourhood with picket fences that resembled his ex-wife’s teeth.

16. John and Mary were like two hummingbirds who had never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East River.

18. Even in his last years, grandpa had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long that it had rusted shut.

19. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

20. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.

21. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame. Maybe from stepping on a land mine or something similar.

22. The ballerina rose gracefully En Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

23. It was a family tradition, like chasing kids around with power tools.

24. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

25. Her eyes were like limpid pools, only they had forgotten to put in any pH conditioner.

26. She walked into my office like a centipede with 98 missing legs.

27. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to the wall

Truth Is Perception & Perception Is Truth

I’ve been watching the result of Hurricane Katrina on television. I don’t know who is right or wrong. All I can say is in the age of mass communication it comes down to "Truth Is Perception & Perception Is Truth". There once was a famous successful business leader who said to his executives: " I don’t care how you get there, or how hard you worked or what problems you had, I just want a successful bottom line on the due date." It seems to me that all I’m seeing on TV is a bunch of well bathed, coiffured people that aren’t sweaty and don’t stink telling me with a sincere, earnest face and some well chosen, soothing words that they are going as fast as they can and doing all they can do so in essence get off my back. I particularly like the ones that say "They are praying" and "Understand my pain". I sincerely hope that the ones that are praying have a better "in" with God than I as I’d sure like to see some results!! We are then shown a contrasting clip of hungry, sweaty people of color with no change of clothing existing in conditions which would lead to your and my immediate arrest and imprisonment if our farm animals were found in those conditions. I don’t know about you, but to me this type of leadership is not a confidence builder. I shutter to think that the world is relying on us as the last functional superpower to keep them out of trouble. To be fair, I can’t get too mad at our leaders because they are no more incompetent than anyone else in an executive position that can’t handle unusual problems in an efficient manner. For the first time in my life I fall down on my knees each night and thank God with all my heart that he loves us sufficiently to save us from our own stupidity!!

The Magic Box

Someone said somewhere that if something is technically ahead of our civilization then our civilization is going to think it is magic. When you think about it our civilization started out predominately believing in magic which really is a form of random thinking. I was taught that Adam and Eve were thrown out of the Garden Of Eden because of a failure to follow instructions. Once Adam and Eve were thrown out the thought crossed their minds that they better start following instructions. Since they didn’t have a clue about science, the only other alternative was to try to placate the person that threw them out of the garden. It was probably at this point that a division of labor / multitasking was developed as one person couldn’t do it all. Sex rears its’ ugly head and civilization starts to expand. Everyone had to be fed so classes of work was invented. Some classes had more value because those classes required more skills. Since our civilization has an element of randomness, sometimes things don’t go well as we all know. Since science didn’t exist, every right thinking person realized that the various gods were angry so one or several of them had to be placated depending on where you screwed up. The brighter lights realized that random god pleasing may not be all that efficient, so the better technics were codified or put in order. So now we have randomness and order in the system. The bright lights soon realized that if they were going to all this work then their rewards should be greater. They began to think why bother to clear it with the gods when they knew the answer. Next came the random idea that they could make exceptions to the rules. If someone, wanted to show their appreciation why not??? I have to stop now, there’s some chaotic pounding at the front door. I think it is trouble!! Now where did I put that Magic Box???

Was That Tea Or Me???

We all tread a very fine line in life. A typical example is flirting. If flirting isn’t done properly then you’re going to end up with a harrassment, privacy infringement, or identity theft charge. The basic problem is a good flirt has to be done through the eyes which is essentially a window to a soul. A flirt is periously close to a challenge. I accidently ran across a 1000 lb. Grizzily the other day. Now if anyone has every read about surviving in the (social) wilderness one of the things they mention is watch your eyes. If a Grizzily stares at you it’s not wise to stare back. Grizzilies don’t seem to understand any of the principles of flirting. They think it’s a challenge. If this situation arises, the only suggestion I have is to adopt the Demure Technique. This technique is essentially one of lowering your eyes, signalling that the message of interest has been received. Social ettiquite demands for maxium disengagement success that disinterest be communicated by backing up while still maintaining a servile position. Since the Grizzily is "fast", it is best to gain some distance in reverse before turning and running like hell. It all comes down to most people having trouble with being looked at which I suspect is a defense mechanism left over from our ancient life in the caves. In those times, receiving a stare from someone usually meant they needed a meal or sex. Tea anyone???

Is That You Alphonse???

Everything in this universe seems to consist of particles, strings and waves. If this is true, then Time must also consist of particles, strings and waves. The question, therefore, arises that if Time consists of particles, strings, and waves it can be manipulated. Needless to say, our civilization doesn’t have a clue about the manipulation of Time. To add to the fun while everything may consist of particles, strings and waves, things only manifest themselves consistently in one form. For instance, you and I normally appear as a particle which the English language has named man / woman. Time in our universe usually appears as a dimensionless Time String of energy which holds particles, energy and events together. Gravity is a similar phenomena because even though it has characteristics of a particle, string or wave it only appears as a dimensionless Gravity String that attaches particles, strings and waves to a Graviton particle. The question arises if Time has a particle form can we go back in Time if we learn to manipulate Time Particles??? Secondly if we can go back in Time, can we kill our parents and by extension kill ourselves??? In answer to the first question there is no reason that we can’t learn to manipulate Time and Gravity particles. The answer to the second question is tougher. It is quite possible that we also exist as a particle, string and wave. Therefore it seems to me that if we go back in Time we can see ourselves as a particle, string or wave but we can’t change anything because our "Space" has changed. For instance, in quantum theory, we can have multiple states of any object which in this case is a particle called you and me. For example, an electron can exist simultaneously in different orbits / spaces which is a fact upon which the laws of chemistry / quantum theory is based. If flying saucers do exist, it is possible that they come from other civilizations that are intellectually light years ahead of us. They drop in on us to see what we’re up to from time to time or alternately to see what the devil we are up to when we set off nuclear bombs. I guess it is equivalent to coming across an ant hill. Would you bend down to the ants and give them trinkets, books, medicine, and power or would you have the strange urge to step on a few of them? Oh yeah, before I forget, don't turn someone away who knocks at your door one day, asks if it is Alphonse, and then claims to be your future great-great-great granddaughter. She may be right!!!

May Be

Life is nothing but a big "may be", but it is a big "maybe" whether we "may" sit on our duffs or get out and "be". Whether we like it or not, as in we can’t do anything about it, we all live in a universe in which randomness, order, and chaos are trying to get the upper hand in our lives. Randomness is the antithesis of Free Will. There are plenty of examples in history, such as war, where someone choose to exercise their "Free Will" which started a series of seemingly random events that lead to unforeseen events which is summarized in "The Law Of Unforeseen Consequences". Order is perhaps the most important aspect of our lives. We’re forever cleaning up after something or getting organized to do something. We get some help from the "Law Of Threes" which states that: "Everything, including events, tends to stabilize around the prime number 3." In previous posts I have tried to show that mathematics clusters around the number 9 which is just an exotic form of 3 as in (3 X 3 = 9). Chaos has the last laugh. Everything tends to fall apart. We all age, we all tend to disintegrate as in getting sick, injured or what have you. Everyone’s life is essentially the same in principle, even though our individual adventures and burdens may be different. When you go out the door, deciding to walk or take the bus randomness could change your life. Maybe a car will jump the curb and kill you. Maybe you'll get on the bus and glance around and you'll meet the eyes of someone else whom you cannot help but talk to, and you'll fall in love. All that - two life-altering situations - all because of a simple choice of how to reach your destination. Randomness, order and chaos forces you to live your life. Randomness, order and chaos are equal opportunity aggravations . You can sit there, moan and groan and still get it on the chin or you can get out and do something, anything, experiment for God’s sake. Life is meant to be lived. If you're not happy where you are, change it. Whether you've got the money to get out of there comfortably, or you've got to work odd jobs along the way to keep yourself going, go for your dreams. Sure randomness, order and chaos will be your traveling companions but don’t forget the Fickle Finger Of Fate may give you your dream. If it means staying where you are and changing jobs, or leaving the country or continent, do it. Randomness, order and chaos may delay you but they aren’t going to stop you. You've got to pick yourself up and keep going no matter what and plant yourself where you want to be - where you need to be. Then, and only then, will you be happy or at least, if nothing else, happier than you were before. So, if you find yourself on the roof of a tall building standing on the parapet, wondering if your greatest gift to civilization or what passes for it is to jump, just remember that most of us have been there done that if only in our imaginations because we lacked your guts to jump before our journey was completed!!

Right Stuff

How do you know that your potential soulmate / significant other has the right stuff??? You think that you’ve found your soulmate /significant other but how can you be sure??? Can / will this potential life partner have the where withal to go the distance?? He / she seems to meet all your friend’s external criteria as far as "What’s ‘right’ for you. You read somewhere that true love comes from the soul. The vaguely recalled article said that your soulmate would rather sacrifice himself / herself for your success / happiness then worry excessively about his / her wants and needs. Your potential soulmate probably appears to be a Wuz because he / she isn’t controlling / intimidating or appears to be excessively concerned about their career, clothing or in some cases personal hygiene. He / she leaves the major decisions up to you. He / she is always quite agreeable with what you decide. You find all this stuff very off putting but in the dark of night just before the clock strikes 12:00 midnight you realize that you like it in spite of his / her wuzzy personality. If you still don’t believe your good luck, here are some 3 tests:

Take dancing lessons with your soulmate. If you are still speaking after the lessons you are in love.

Renovate a house. If you are still speaking after the decisions on decorating / room design / negligent / incompetent / non showing contractors then you are in love.

Live with your potential soulmates / significant other’s relatives in as small a room as possible. If done properly you will find that your potential soulmate / significant other will revert to small child behaviour in front of his parents. It is essential that the experiment be reversed. You and your significant / potential soulmate live in a small room with your parents. You will find that you too will revert to small child behaviour in front of your parents.

If you can still stand each other, you are in love, my friend!!!!

Intelligent Design and Creationism

There is a debate going on in some parts of the world about intelligent design and creationism. Creationism or creation science promotes the idea that there is scientific evidence to validate the biblical story. Who knows for sure?? In those days few people could read or write with the result that most information was conveyed in the form of stories or song which began to suffer from inaccuracies the longer the stories and songs were repeated. In addition, you had the problem that people’s grasp of science was more in the magic area than in scientific thought. Intelligent Design promotes the idea that the complexity of nature is such that strictly random forces didn’t have the sophistication to produce human development. I don’t think the two views are necessary incompatible. It may be that God originally created man and woman and placed them in the equivalent of a Garden of Eden but something went wrong. The essence of the story then came down in all beliefs and religions in terms that the people could intuitively grasp. I’m a believer in Intelligent Design. While this universe is a mixture of randomness, order and chaos, it seems to me that someone had to set up the underlining process so randomness, order and chaos could function with reasonable efficiency. God, for lack of a better word, seems to have organized this world using the number 3. My previous posts have tried to articulate this argument in various forms. Without boring the hell out of you, you have:

Particles, energy, processes linked by a Time String.

Events such as deaths occurring in groups of 3

Length, width and height - 3 dimensions.

Natural clustering in groups of 3’s.

Prime Numbers connected to logarithms based on 9 (3 X 3 = 9)

Time Strings

We normally think of Time as something that marks the beginning, duration and the end of something. A Time String is a dimensionless form of energy which holds particles, energy and processes together in a 3 dimensional world. A Time String permits you and I to exist together in the same universe. The Time String also extends from our universe into other universes. In this mode, it attracts events, usually in groups of 3 over relatively short periods of Time. If you and I didn’t exist in a world held together by Time Strings then we would each exist alone. The Time Strings, carrying particles, energy and processes interact with other Time Strings to form waves. Time Strings in the form of waves flow in an outward direction expanding this universe as it drags everything in this universe with it. Time, as a wave, needs energy to expand which it takes from the individual Strings holding other particles, energy and processes together. This means that the expanding Time Wave has the ability to tear everything apart causing it to deteriorate, grow old, stop working, fall apart or fall off.

In This Universe, Strings Are A Three Node Chain

Here’s the poop on String Theory. This universe is based on three node chains consisting of particles, energy and processes. Over the millennia we have developed lots of words to define particles, energy and processes. Particles can be people or structures. Energy can be events. Processes can be anything that transforms something into something else. Events, people and structures come together or are linked in groups or strings of 3 things. For instance, plane crashes and celebrity deaths usually happen in groups of 3. Our associates come in 3 flavors, acquaintances, friends and soulmates. The strongest form of construction is anything that uses triangles which is a 3 sided figure. An electronic device running on a 3 volt battery or batteries adding to 3 volts will last the longest. Mathematics is based on the number 3. If you take any random number more than 1 digit, whether it is a whole number, fraction or decimal, and add all the digits using the following process you end up with 3. For instance taking 137 which has the digits 1, 3, 7, and adding them (1 + 3 + 7 = 11) you get 11. Subtract 11 from 137 (137 - 11 = 126) and you get 126. Add the digits for 126 (1 + 2 + 6 = 9) and you get 9. 3 X 3 equals 9. The square root of 9 is 3 (3 X 3 = 9). 126 / 9 = 14. Any number N when divided by 9 or 3 after using this process leaves a number (quotient) without any fractions. We live and can travel in 3 dimensions known as length, width and height. Any Prime Number will have a 1, 3, 7 or 9 in the first (1’s) column ( 11, 13, 17, 19). You will see that 3 and 9 are in this list. 3 X 3 = 9. The difference between 1 and 7 (7 - 1 = 6) is 6. 2 X 3 = 6. One of the great unsolved mysteries is how many Primes precede any chosen number. For instance if you choose 229 how many prime numbers precede it??? It turns out that if you take the log of 229 to the base 9 (2.472993457) and multiply it by 20 you get (2.472993457 X 20 = 49.45986914) which is a close approximation to the actual position prime 229 occupies which is in the 51st position. It takes some tweaking on the final multiplier, however, depending on how accurate you want the answer, you basically take the log of that number to base 9 and experiment with a multiplier.

Here’s The Law Of Strings:

Everything in this universe tends to cluster in three node groupings held together by 1 string.

Extreme Sports

The ultimate extreme sport is the game of business as played in the western world. A group of people form a team to make money in competition with other teams . The players on the team aren’t loyal to the team. The players must find ways to screw their team members while making money. If a player can screw the other players he / she is rewarded points in the form of an increase in prestige, salary and benefits. The increase in prestige is denoted by a title so the other team members won’t get confused as to who is getting ahead. With the title, comes a call for the losers to become team players. This strategy is effective as it obscures the rules of the sport which has no rules. The team players are now obligated to destroy the screwing player’s advantage of a title, salary and benefits. True competitiveness demands that this action be taken subtly because of the screwing player’s ability to substitute players on the team. Needless to say this means you can’t be a winner if you are substituted. Effective measures for the losers is to work to rule, misinterpret policies and directives, delay implementation and generally lie like hell with a sincere look of concern. The screwing player protects his / her position by not communicating and then claiming the losing players aren’t on the ball. Successful avoidance of responsibility has its’ own rewards. If done with finesse you are marked as someone with potential. You may be rapidly promoted if you can lay the blame on someone else, thereby slowing his or her advancement. On the surface, it would appear that the players would advance forever making millions, however, this isn’t true. Each player’s position in the hierarchy is based on his ability to manipulate the system at that stage. Ultimately, any player will find that he / she has reached his / her potential, but doesn’t have the ability to advance due to lack of ability, bad luck or any other random reason. Looking at the competency to advance situation, one could say that each player has reached his level of incompetence which in time engulfs all members of the organization. Thus the team fails to continue to make money and is eliminated from the tournament.

Project Stages

Management books are only written to motivate the drudges with promises of stardom. Here’s the real poop!!

1. Euphoria

Initial anticipation. Here is the project that will advance your career / make you famous and win you the Nobel Peace Prize. If it is a significant other here is Mr. / Ms. Flawless.

2. Stark Realization

The project is staffed by fools. You’re the only one that has the big picture. The project is under budgeted. If a significant other Mr. / Ms. Flawless isn’t.

3. Universal Depression

The sudden dawning on you that this project could reverse your career and even get you fired. If a significant other, Mr. / Ms Flawless has more irritating habits than the Mr. / Ms. Flawless you dumped.

4. Finger Pointing and Recriminations

Can I get out of this project without damaging my career??? Where’s the poor smuck that I can lay the blame on??? If Mr. / Ms. Flawless, how can I get rid of him / her and still have a plausible reputation??? Can’t my parents see that Mr. / Ms. Flawless isn’t right for me!!

5. Bailing Out

I have to find a reason to leave the project before everyone else realizes it is a ball / career breaker. If Mr. / Ms. Flawless, where’s my "Excuse Book"??? The last time, I told Mr. / Ms. Flawless that I carried a recessive gene for antisocial / unpredictable behaviour. It worked.

6. Depression

My timing got all screwed up. Everyone jumped before me. I look like I’m not a team player. Mr. / Ms. Flawless told me that he / she loves me and understands me. God, can’t I get anything right??? Where’s my meth???

7. Denying that you were there.

I’m beginning to see and hear things. My psychiatrist says that I imagined the Project. Mr. / Ms. Flawless was only a "friend". You can’t expect me to remember everything I said to you in the heat of a few malfunctioning hormones.

8. If 7 fails maintain that you were a minor functionary in a meaningless clerical function.

Geez!!! Someone else has me targeted as the smuck. Everyone conveniently forgets that they never accepted any of suggestions. What the hell is my signature doing on that piece of paper??? I was just signing what I was told to sign!! If Mr. / Ms. Flawless, I didn’t realize I was signing for a new house. I thought you were kidding me!!

Primes & Number Theory

The only known method of calculating Primes is by dividing the number you suspect is a Prime by all the numbers preceding it. If the chosen number is a Prime it can only be divided evenly by itself and 1. For instance 11, 13, 17 and 19 are all Primes because they can only be divided by themselves and 1 without any leftover fractions. There is a new method using Number Theory. Any number that is actually a Prime has 1, 3, 7, 9 in its’ 1’s column. The Primes 11, 13, 17, 19 are an example of this phenomena. Not all numbers with 1, 3, 7 and 9 in their first column are primes. For instance 21, 33, 27, and 99 aren’t Primes. Number Theory is the method for rapidly telling which number ending in 1, 3, 7 and 9 are Primes. You will see if you take the Prime numbers 11, 13, 17, 19 and add their digits you get for 11 (1 + 1 = 2), for 13 ( 1 + 3 = 4), for 17 ( 1 + 7 = 8) and for 19 ( 1 + 9 = 10). If you take the numbers 21, 33, 27, 99 which aren’t Primes you will see when you add their digits you get for 21 (2 + 1 = 3), for 33 (3 + 3 = 6), for 27 (2 + 7 = 9), for 99 ( 9 + 9 = 18). Most things in this universe seem to be related to the number 3. Things, good or bad, usually happen in 3’s. Most discussions have 3 major points. Traffic lights usually have 3 lights, red for stop, yellow for caution and green for go. You are usually given 3 chances to accomplish something. Most people can only remember 3 things on a list. The triangle, consisting of 3 sides, is the strongest form of construction. The people you know in your life can be classified as acquaintances, friends and soulmates. If you organize a speech, tell them what you are going to say, say it and tell them what you said. It would seem, therefore, that there is a high degree of likelihood that the number 3 is involved in the calculation of Primes. Upon examination you will see if you divide the sum of the Prime digits 11 (2), 13 (4), 17 (8) and 19 (10) by 3 11 (2/3), 13 (4/3), 17 (8/3) and 19 (10/3) you obtain a fraction. If you divide the sum of the digits that aren’t Primes 21 (3), for 33 (6), for 27 ( 9), for 99 ( 18). by 3 21 (3/3), for 33 (6/3), for 27 ( 9/3), for 99 ( 18/3). you obtain a whole number. Therefore you will see if the digits in any numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, or 9 when totaled and divided by 3 produce an odd number they are Primes.

To summarize:

All Prime Numbers beyond one column in width have a 1, 3, 7, 9 in the first column. For instance 11, 13, 17, 19 are Prime Numbers. Not all numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 are Primes. For instance 21, 33, 27, 99 aren’t Primes.

Add the digits in the selected number ending in 1, 3, 7, 9. For instance the Primes 11, 13, 17, 19 have a digit total of 2, 4, 8 and 10. The numbers 21, 33, 27, 99 which aren’t Primes have a total of 3, 6, 9, 18

Divide the digit totals by 3. If the number ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 is a Prime the digit total when divided by 3 will be uneven. If the number ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 is not a Prime the digit total when divided by 3 will be even.

Face Space

Everyone tells me to stay out of their face so in order to avoid trouble I have to know the dimensions of a person’s face space. Let’s see. Things, good or bad, usually happen in 3’s. Most discussions have 3 major points. Traffic lights usually have 3 lights, red for stop, yellow for caution and green for go. You are usually given 3 chances to accomplish something. Most people can only remember 3 things on a list. The triangle, consisting of 3 sides, is the strongest form of construction. The people you know in your life can be classified as acquaintances, friends and soulmates. If you organize a speech, tell them what you are going to say, say it and tell them what you said.. Based on this irrefutable logic it seems reasonable to assume that everyone’s space seems to be 3 units in length, 3 units in width and 3 units in depth. I have also been called a square and if you multiply 3 units of length times 3 units of width you get a 9 square units (3 X 3 = 9). So far so good!! It seems reasonable, therefore, that if each person has been allotted 9 square units of face space then 9 has to have some mathematical significance to make the system work. If you take any random number such as 137 for example and add it’s digits (1 + 3 + 7 = 11) and subtract that total (11) from the original number (137 - 11 = 126) and that number (126) is divided by 9 you get a number without any fraction (126 / 9 = 14). In addition the digits of 126 (1 + 2 + 6 = 9) total 9. Most people aren’t two dimensional. Therefore, a 3 dimensional person consisting of 3 units of length, 3 units of width and 3 units of depth (3 X 3 X 3 = 27) has 27 cubic units of space. The digits of 27 are 2 and 7. 2 plus 7 = 9 (2+7 = 9). Therefore, if your friend is a Square his face space is 9 square units. If your friend is a cube his face space is 27 cubic units.

Flying Saucers

Someone once said that anything we don’t understand is magic. Flying Saucers are in that category. Let us assume that Flying Saucers do exist in spite of all the pro and con discussion. Some reports of Flying Saucers say that when they move they are noiseless and when they are still they gently rock. Based on these observations it would seem the Flying Saucers are using some sort of limitless fuel that doesn’t have to be carried by the Flying Saucer. I think that whoever operates the Flying Saucer has learned to manipulate Gravitons and Time which are both special forms of energy. The civilization that developed Flying Saucers probably has observed that Planets move by surfing as I explained in my posting "Planet Surfers". Here’s how Space Travel works using Gravitons. Gravitons, because they are a special form of energy, have the ability to attract objects without being attracted by objects. This imbalance creates a Force which we call Gravity. Gravitons, as energy, repel each other which gives them the ability to be evenly spread throughout the universe which is equivalent to having gas stations all over. This combination of object attraction and repulsion, if accelerated indefinitely, is equivalent to a limitless pulsing force that would propel any space ship. The repulsive force between Gravitons is about (1/e^(137)) / Pi or 1.01043E-60. The Flying Saucer when it travels or rests will warp the Graviton Lattice creating a cup around the Flying Saucer in the shape of a brassiere cup. The Gravitons start to repel themselves from around the Flying Saucer which causes a temporary downward slope underneath the Flying Saucer causing it to wobble.

Time

Time is a form of energy. Gravitons are a form of energy. Gravitons, because they are a special form of energy, have the ability to attract particles without being attracted by particles. This imbalance creates a force called Gravity acting on the particle. Gravitons, as energy, repel each other which gives them the ability to be evenly spread throughout the universe. Gravitons, being energy, don’t have dimensions, weight or mass or electrical charge. If Gravitons had dimensions or mass or weight or electrical charge they would interact with each other and wouldn’t be Gravitons. Time is a special form of energy similar to Gravitons which also doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions or electrical charge. Here’s how it works. Time, as energy, flows in an outward direction expanding this universe as it drags everything in this universe with it. Time, as energy, has the ability to tear everything apart causing it to deteriorate, grow old, stop working, fall apart or fall off. You and I, have an intuitive feeling as to how the system works. Time, as energy, can flow across dimensions like Gravitons. Time flows out of other dimensions and as soon as it enters this universe it attaches itself to everything and doesn’t let go. Time, as energy, then flows outward in this universe taking everything with it. Time extracts the energy from everything which means those things deteriorate, grow old, stop working, fall apart or fall off. Time and Gravitons are a form of Dark Energy which we can’t see, but do feel as a result of their actions on particles and events.

Planet Surfers

Planets were the original surfers. Here’s how it worked using Gravitons. Gravitons, because they are a special form of energy, have the ability to attract planets without being attracted by planets. This imbalance creates a force called Gravity acting on the planet. Gravitons, as energy, repel each other which gives them the ability to be evenly spread throughout the universe. Gravitons, being energy, don’t have dimensions, weight or mass or electrical charge. If Gravitons had dimensions or mass or weight or electrical charge they would interact with each other and wouldn’t be Gravitons. Gravitons are similar to Time which also doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions or electrical charge. Time is a special form of energy that only flows in the outward direction dragging everything with it. Think of having a bag of Gravitons. These Gravitons, as energy, have the ability to attract other particles but not themselves. Gravitons also have the ability to travel across dimensions. This attraction is about 1/e^(137) or 3.17436E-60 / Graviton. The Gravitons also have a repulsive force that repels other Gravitons. This repulsive force between Gravitons is about (1/e^(137)) / Pi or 1.01043E-60. Pour the bag of Gravitons into a 3 dimensional box with Time being the sides of the box. You will see that they will space themselves equally apart forming a lattice in the 3 dimensional box. Put a planet in the box. You will see that the planet will warp the Graviton Lattice creating a cup around the planet in the shape of a brassiere cup. The warping of the Graviton Lattice will provide the planet with its’ gravity. The Gravitons, however, as energy, repel each other which gives them the ability to be evenly spread throughout the universe. The Gravitons start to repel themselves from around the planet which causes a temporary downward slope underneath the planet which causes it to roll or spin. This downward roll or spin causes the planet to oscillate or arc or wobble in its’ orbit by a fraction of a degree. This roll or spin or arc or wobble causes Gravitons in the direction of the roll to deform forming other brassiere cups. The warped Graviton Lattice behind the now traveling planet is filled in by Gravitons coming from other dimensions. Therefore it can be seen that the planet is traveling down a tunnel formed by a Graviton Wave which is being filled in behind by Gravitons from another dimension. This is similar to surfers traveling down the slope of a water wave pipe being filled in behind by the water of the wave cutting over the surfer!!

Gravitons

Gravitons are something that causes everything in this universe to have gravity but what are they in a physical sense???? Gravitons appear to be a special form of energy. This form of energy we will call Gravitons. Gravitons, because they are energy, have the ability to attract particles without being attracted by particles in a physical sense. This imbalance creates a force called Gravity. Gravitons, as energy, repel each other which gives them the ability to be evenly spread throughout the universe. Gravitons, being energy, don’t have dimensions, weight or mass or electrical charge. If Gravitons had dimensons or mass or weight or electrical charge they would interact with each other and wouldn’t be Gravitons. Gravitons are similar to Time which also doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions or electrical charge. Time is a special form of energy that only flows in the outward direction dragging everything with it. Think of having a bag of Gravitons. They can’t be detected by any known method. You only know they are present because of their influence on other particles. These Gravitons, as energy, have the ability to attract other particles but not themselves. This attraction is about 1/e^(137) or 3.17436E-60 / Graviton. The Gravitons also have a repulsive force that repels other Gravitons, as energy. This repulsive force between Gravitons is about (1/e^(137)) / Pi or 1.01043E-60. The Gravitons also have the ability to travel across dimensions. Pour the bag of Gravitons into a 3 dimensional universe with Time as the 4th dimension. You will see that they will space themselves equally apart forming a lattice in a 3 dimensional box. The Graviton’s attractive force for other particles forms the equivalent of Time Field Gravity and their repulsive force forms the equivalent of Time Field Force. The Gravitons are Lorentz’s Aether.

Energy

What is energy??? We have a basic concept of energy as something we need to get work done. We don’t have a clue about what it is in a physical sense. The production of energy usually means we convert something that has dimensions and weight or mass into something that doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions. For instance, we turn wood which has weight or mass and dimensions into heat which doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions. You can feel the effects of heat but you can’t see heat except as it affects other things such as air. Time is something that doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions even though it affects all of us. Gravitons don’t appear to have weight or mass or dimensions because Gravitons are the only source of gravity. If they had weight or mass or dimensions something else would have to supply gravity. Protons don’t have weight or mass or dimensions because they need to travel constantly at the speed of light which requires all their mass to be converted to energy. Energy, therefore, is something that doesn’t have weight or mass or dimensions but is detectable because of its’ influence on other things.

Relativistic Time

Relativistic Time is a neat concept. Start by thinking of Time as forming a one dimensional plate or a two dimensional picture frame or if you prefer a three dimensional box. You also have a bag of black marbles that have an unique set of properties. The black marbles are called Gravitons. They cannot be compressed , have no electrical charge, can’t be seen, don’t reflect light and don’t vibrate. They can’t be detected by any known method. You only know they are present because of their influence on other particles. These Gravitons have the ability to attract other particles but not themselves. This attraction is about 1/e^(137) or 3.17436E-60 / Graviton. The Gravitons also have a repulsive force that repels other Gravitons. This repulsive force between Gravitons is about (1/e^(137)) / Pi or 1.01043E-60. The Gravitons also have the ability to travel across dimensions. Depending on your choice, pour the Gravitons from the bag onto the 1 dimensional plate, inside the 2 dimensional picture frame or into the 3 dimensional box. You will see that they will space themselves equally apart on the 1 dimensional plate and in vertical layers in the 2 dimensional picture frame and in a lattice in a 3 dimensional box. The Graviton’s attractive force for other particles forms the equivalent of Time Field Gravity and their repulsive force forms the equivalent of Time Field Force. The Gravitons form Lorentz’s Aether. Einstein says that the faster the object travels the more it changes into pure energy until it disappears. Time has zero dimensions. Here’s how Relativistic Time works. The velocity of the object disturbs the arrangement of the Gravitons because of the creation of Waves much like a boat going up a river. The Gravitons can’t compress so they tend to cluster and increase the gravitational force on the moving object. The increase in gravitational force causes acceleration, which is independent of the object’s material or the physical state of the object. This causes the Time "frame" or Time "box" to contract thus shortening the Space that the object travels. The clustering of the Gravitons causes the Space to warp because Time is proportional to Space and the object’s trajectory starts to bend. The clustering of the Gravitons slows down the object but since the Time "frame" or Time "box" is narrower it causes the observer to think the object is moving at the same velocity. If we take the speed of light at a constant 186,000 mph. for example, and if we agree that velocity = light speed X Time we will see that as light speed is constant, velocity is constant. Time is a variable since Time is contracting , Space is contracting because Time is proportional to Space. It then follows that light speed has to slow so the velocity of light is constant. Therefore Time is relativistic.

Pick Up Tips

Let’s face it men don’t have a clue about "pick - up" potential as far as woe-man are concerned. If you have ever had a sister you will realize that woe-man are next to impossible to figure out much less understand in any meaningful way. Nothing is 100% sure because even from the following list one of these Belles may ring your clangor. Most men, however, will find it advantageous to avoid the following combos:

A nose ring attached to bifocals by a string so you won’t lose your glasses

Spiked hair interspersed between bald spots

A pierced tongue supporting loose dentures

Miniskirt and support hose held up by garters

Sandals seemingly garnished with corn pads

A belly button ring with a gall bladder surgery scar accent.

Unbuttoned disco shirt with an inside heart monitor pocket

Midriff shirts with midriff bulge trim

Pierced nipples on a nude beach that hang below the waist

A Bikini clashing with liver spots

Short shorts not matching your varicose veins

Sporty In-line skates supplemented by a Walker for safety

A sexy Thong over Depends in case of an accident.

Whose On First

A lot of men, including myself, don’t have a clue about woe - men. Unfortunately, that deficit doesn’t stop me from giving advice. First of all there’re three kinds of relationships, acquaintances, friends and soulmates. Most people have an intuitive grasp of acquaintances. These are the people that you may have to endure because of economic / social considerations or because they are friends of people you "like". They, still, no matter how hard you try, leave you with a "blah" feeling. Friend relationships are a little tougher. You can essentially have three grades of friends. Blah plus limited interest, blah plus middling interest, and best friends to whom you bear your guts and who are very close to soulmates. Soulmates are a little trickier. Whether or not you appreciate / like it, we all have Souls. Our Soul seems to have more on the ball than our three dimensional persona having been through several incarnations. After all, you can’t beat experience!! If our Soul doesn’t like our best friend you’re up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Here are some hints:

Being A Nice Guy - Women like a "nice" guy. Being a "nice" guy means you will at least have a 1st date. No woman wants her friends to obviously know she can’t pick men. They may suspect it but why should you confirm it???

Convince Her To Like You - Silly Boy!! If you can’t convince your sister what makes you think you convince a date??

Approval Or Permission - Do you let your mother run your life??? Same principle, Dumkof!!
Food & Gifts - Hey dopey you have to convince the Soul. Does a Soul eat??? Hey get with the program!!!

Telling her "How You Feel" too early - Why confirm what she has psyched out on her own???

Telling Her She Is Attractive - Are you nuts??? She knows it already. Do you go out with ugly women????

Money & Looks - Don’t forget the effects of gravity over time. Everything sags including the Wallet!!

Giving Away Your Power - On the first date??? Have you no standards??? Wait until you’re married!!! It’ll happen naturally over time you Wuz!!

Not Getting Help - Do you think I’m stupid??? I’ve read Vogue too!!!

Teacher / Organizer

When you think about it, God has just got to be the greatest teacher / organizer around. The world’s religions are all different, but I’m willing to bet that your religion / belief system has a set of behaviour rules associated with it. I, being Christian, have the 10 Commandments. 10 simple rules to follow. What could be simpler??? There’re also lots of stories in the Bible to give us a visual and coherent way of remembering what happens if we step out of line or find it difficult to interpret the 10 Commandments. She has given us language which is forever changing and expanding so we can narrow down concepts through our choice of words. Dork and Nerd are typical examples of these changes and narrow concepts. Most things, in principle, are the same. In business, you have to have a good product, that is competitive, that satisfies the needs of the market. If you’re looking for love, you have to have a good product that is competitive, and that satisfies the needs of the market. You have to do market research. Is there a need for your product??? Is that particular market segment overcrowded??? Should you be a niche player??? What product characteristics are most likely to appeal to the consumer. For instance, good looks, humour and empathy seem to be popular with the consumer. If your product is average looking, can you shift the emphasize to a characteristic that the other products lack to a greater degree??? Is your product relatively maintenance free?? Nothing could be simpler.

Dark Matter, Dark Energy, Dark Time

Dark Matter, Dark Energy and Dark Time existed on the other side of creation. Dark Time was the original string in String Theory. Dark Time has Dark Matter and Dark Energy on the string. To add to the mix Randomness or the Possibility Principle existed in the zero dimensions before creation. The Possibility Principle meant that everything had the possibility of existing under arbitrary possibility rules . The Possibility Principle meant that Dark Time, Dark Energy and Dark Matter had completely random properties and laws. There was no uniformity for anything, anywhere. The Possibility Principle hiccuped causing Dark Time to unravel creating Forward Directional Time, Back and Forth Space, Force, Energy and our dimensions. Directional Time, Space, Force, Energy became separate sets in our universe with interconnecting ranges and mathematical relationships. Directional Time, in our universe, has a randomizing function caused by the expansion of the Universe as per Stephen Hawking. We visualize the opposite direction of Time or negative direction of Time as "yesterday" but can't physically travel in that direction. The "Holes of Creation" with Dark Time on the other side weren't sealed after the Big Bang. Dark Time allows everything to exist without change and at the same time. Dark Time is the basis of Christianity’s concept of God and Eternity because nothing deteriorates and it lasts forever. Conceivably anything can exist behind the "Holes of Creation". If our universe was perfect we would have Dark Time which would allow us to be everywhere at once and see everything at once as well as enabling us to go backwards and forwards time wise. This means that as the "Holes Of Creation" were never "sealed" after the Big Bang we have the ability to see behind the open "Holes of Creation" on a quantum level. Any generated "ripple" on our side which "penetrated" the "Holes Of Creation" on a quantum level would send "Properties" of the other side's disturbance through to us. We would see these "Properties" as various quantum effects and "strangeness". We can't explain some of the weird effects because some of the foreign "Laws" on the other side of the "Holes of Creation" don't change immediately at the entrance to our universe and therefore are seen by us as "strangeness" at the quantum level.

Dark Matter

Dark Matter and Time seem to have a lot in common. Neither Time nor Dark Matter respond to any external stimulation or devised test. We know that something exists similar to the effects of "Light" Matter which we can see and manipulate because if Dark Matter didn’t exist the universe would fall apart. In fact, this "something" that we call Dark Matter, for lack of a better term, is about 90% of our universe. Time which we can’t see is 100% of our universe. Our seen universe consists of particles, strings and waves. Particles are single elements with various names to describe them like, boy, girl, electron etc. Particles get together and form strings. For instance boys and girls get together to form groups or strings of friends. Electrons get together in strings and form currents. The waves are the result of these groups of friends (strings) doing something with the various groups of friends (strings) that they meet in life. Similarly electron strings combine with other electron strings to run motors, carry information, sense things etc.. Particles have to vibrate in some way to form strings and waves. If we can’t find any Dark Matter particles, strings or waves then it stands to reason that Dark Matter has to be something else. In my posting on Time I postulated that Time has got to be a Plate. If Time is a Plate it carries particles, strings and events around on it. Since Time appears to be one dimensional then Dark Matter must be the one dimensional material from which the Time Plate is constructed. To take it one step further the Plates have to be stackable or layered which means that Time for all intents and purposes has to extend into other dimensions. Therefore it stands to reason that Dark Matter extends into other dimensions which we can’t see because we are maxed out at 3 dimensions. We can, however, feel the effects of other dimensions. The best example of this phenomena is the study of quantum mechanics where we can see the left over trails of processes but not the original moving particle.

Time

Time has just got to be one of the most fascinating things in this universe with the possible exception of significant others. Time and significant others are the only thing in this world that we sense as having only one dimension because of the way it / they affects / affect us. Time, unlike significant others, carries us in a forward direction . Sure we can imagine yesterday but we can’t physically return to yesterday. If Time carries us in a forward direction than it must have something equivalent to Gravity as we can’t escape the effects of Time. For lack of a better idea I’ll call it Time Field Gravity. I see Time as a 1 dimensional Plate on which everything including you and I, float during our lives. In my last posting I advanced the proposal that God’s favorite number in round figures was 137. Since Time has a certain randomness about it then it must be associated with "e" or 2.718281828 which is a never ending pseudo random figure mathematically. Time Field Gravity must be a small value because if it wasn’t you and I couldn’t do anything on our individual floating Time Plate. Therefore when everything is considered the value of the Time Field Gravity is 1/exp^ (137) or 3.17436E-60. Time Plates, in general, must have a repulsive force because everyone and everything including events on them seem to be drifting away from each other. In other words people and events come and go in our lives. For instance the universe which is also on a Time Plate is expanding!! Since it wouldn’t do for us to fall off our individual Time Plates while banging into each other, it seems to me the Time Field Repulsive Force has to be 1.01043E-60. This figure is 3.17436E-60 divided by Pi, (3.141592654) which is another pseudo random number mathematically.

God’s Most Fascinating Number

OK, Number Theorists what is God’s most fascinating number???? I’ll grant you that 1729 is interesting and there’re all kinds of constants that are breathtaking but what number takes the cake??? The number has just got to be 137. It has 3 prime digits 1, 3, 7. Also if you add 1 + 3 + 7 you get 11 which is another Prime Number. If you take any two digits from 137 and combine them you have the Primes 13, 17, 31, 37, 71, 73. 317 is another Prime from a three digit combination. Any number that is found to be a Prime Number may have a unit’s digit of 1, or 3, or 7 and occasionally 9 for some unaccountable reason as nine is 3 X 3. 137 plus a smidgen is the Fine Structure Constant 137.0360098. Classical physics tells us that electrons captured by element 137 which is undiscovered will move at the speed of light. 137 is the odds that an electron will absorb a single photon. Protons and electrons are bound by interactions with photons. So when you get 137 protons, you get a 100% chance of absorption. An electron in the ground state will orbit at the speed of light. This is the electromagnetic equivalent of a black hole. General Relativity prevents planets which are essentially a collection of electrons and protons from orbiting at the speed of light and beyond to create a Black Hole. General Relativity prevents element 137 from having electrons moving faster than the speed of light. If we divide 137 / 9 = 15.22222. 137 + 2 = 139 which is a Prime Number and if you add 1 + 3 + 9 you get 13 which is another Prime Number. In spite of General Relativity, element 139 would have electrons moving faster than light. Perhaps 137, is the physic’s threshold number equivalent to the speed of sound and in this case to traveling faster than light as the Theory of Everything has yet to be discovered!!!!

A New Prime Number Theory Based On Nine

A Prime is a whole number that can only be divided evenly without leaving a remainder by itself and 1. The common method of finding a Prime Number is to divide a suspected Prime Number by every number that precedes it to see if the only answer without a remainder is 1 or the chosen number. If we ignore the single digit Prime Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 you will see the Prime Numbers greater than 1 digit such as 11, 13, 17, 19 etc. will end in 1, 3, 7, and 9. Of course, other numbers that aren’t Prime Numbers also end in 1, 3, 7, 9 such as 21, 93, 57, and 49. At least it’s a start in cutting down our workload to find Primes since Primes have a high likelihood of having a unit’s digit of 1, 3, 7, 9. We can refine our technique by multiplying any whole number by 9. For instance ( 2 X 9) is 18. 18 isn’t a Prime but there is a possibility that 18 is relatively close to a Prime Number that has a unit digit of 1, 3, 7, 9. Experience will show that adding or subtracting 3 or 6 will not produce a Prime Number. ( 2 X 9 = 18 ), (18 + 6 =24 ), (18 - 6 = 12), (18 + 3 = 21), (18 - 3 = 15 ). Prime Numbers can be perhaps produced by adding 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 to ( 2 X 9 = 18) or subtracting 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 from ( 2 X 9 = 18) providing the resulting answer has a unit’s digit is 1, 3, 7 or 9. For Example adding 1 to (2 X 9 = 18) produces 19 and subtracting 1 from (2 X 9 = 18) produces 17 which are both Prime Numbers. Adding 5 and subtracting 5 from ( 2 X 9 = 18 )produces 13 and 23 which are both Prime Numbers. The last Prime Number associated with ( 2 X 9 = 18) is 11 by subtracting 7 from 18 (18 - 7 = 11). You will also see from the above example that you can add or subtract the same number to produce primes (2 X 9 + 5 = 23), ( 2 X 9 - 5 = 13). Shades of Ramanujan. I don’t know why it works, but it does!!!!!
