On Being the Master of Events

This is Friday July 24, 2009 and some famous movie was supposed to be released today. I have eight E mail messages! I can guess what they are. Last night I watched “Bones” till nine. This morning I went out to the bakery and bought coffee. We had Cheerios for breakfast and pancakes and sausage and I had a second orange juice.

The hot topic of the day continues to be this Black Cambridge professor in his fifties and walks with a cane. The man was five – seven and obviously no physical threat. Rush Limbaugh raged at him and the President yesterday and is continuing to call President Obama a racist. This story is really developing legs. Now President Obama says he wants to meet with both parties over a beer at the White House. The arresting officer austensively is a “good man” and is praised by his fellow police officers. But it would seem that our society is so racist that even “good whites” can be given to racial bias. The man was in his house and showed the Cambridge PD his drivers license and another piece of identification. In any other case that would have ended it. But now the officer again asks him to step out to the front porch where other officers were gathering. He then says “Thank you for complying with my earlier request” and then was promptly arrested. Clearly he’d had arresting the man all along but for some reason he couldn’t arrest him for “disorderly conduct in public” while he was in his own house. The officer had first mentioned that there were “two others in the house”. There was introduced the notion that the man was in danger when they really didn’t believe their own faborication. It’s kind of like Mark Fermin seeing a spot on a car at 5:30 in the morning and believing it was blood thought there might be victims laying all over Simpson’s property with perhaps the murderer still at large on the premises. This created “exigent circumstances” where they could search the property. President Obama called the officer “a good man” and went on to say he could have “calibrated his remarks” better.. Yeah, I’m going to “calibrate” my gun sight right now. I’m sometimes worried about how racist this land of ours is. These days not even having the President of the United States as your friend can protect you. I continue to be troubled by the fact that Berock Obama has such a narrow victory on election day, despite an economy that was self destructing. One can only imagine what would have happened if the economy were at least passable.

I got a phone call from you know who to be sure and install my new phone battery so I can make all of those long calls to India for Tech support. (No, actually I’m a terrorist and I’m in constant contact with Teheran) I took out the white battery and installed the new black battery. (because I’m a racist) They say that life is something that happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. It’s always a goal, as I told Dr. Levy today, that “You should be the master of events rather than let events control you”. But you make plans and suddenly you’re “feeling tired” from the medication or something. I had all sorts of ideas how I’d spend that $250.00 and they didn’t include sinking almost the entire sum into the computer, that is, except for the sum I was paying to have some of my things stored. There is the modem, which I probably never needed. There is the new anti-virus, which I didn’t need. And there is this achromous thing, which backs up your files. How can I follow Dr. Levy’s advice and be my own man and make my own destiny, when that “Destiny” is constantly being dictated to me by others? You know I felt like mentioning the possibility of a personal Devil in today’s session, and Richard and Phyllis would have backed me. This “force” is not some fantasy like a little demon in red with a pitch fork on your left shoulder you can tell to go away and he meekly obeys. I don’t think there is any shame in admitting that circumstances have routinely out-smarted you and gotten the better of you in the past. And if you make a similar mistake in underestimating them, you will continue to lose. This is a “Force” that has to be dealt with by supernatural means, like the Apostle Paul says. This is why I like football and chess because you can go one on one with your opponent. Some may say “Why do you think that there is Singularity about this Force? Why not a whole variety of competing Forces out there?” The reason why I like football and chess if because you are the sole person (and your team) who decides whether or not you prevail against your opponent. In Star Trek there are not only the Klingons you have to worry about but also Romulans, Iconians, Cardassians, Borgs, and the Forengi, and all the rest. Whether these forces fight against each other or all unite against You is in the control of that “Force” you face every day, your own personal Devil. You can’t order him away or will him away or ignore him. Your only real hope is to use some sort of hocus pocus or incantation against him. You can try and fight him in your own power of the Flesh, but if you really want to win against him, there are more effective means, and this is by invoking Supernatural powers and precepts. You see, my guess is that when push comes to shove, I’m much more of a believer in the Supernatural than he is.


The Proper Use of the Green Grid


Many users of Wolframalpha.com know about the 3 D graphs that occur when you say to plot an X and Y equation with no stated answer. In these topologies, the Z coordenate is the value of the answer. But as you know traditionally these green grid things you see in science movies has to do with General Relativity and gravity as the lone "macro force" of the Universe. You should note that these grids follow certain rules. For one, there are no polar axes in these grids, and there are no triaugular spaces enclosed. In fact every square or varient thereof is quadralatteral in nature. There is one possible exception to this quadralateral rule and that is when a circular line "breaks its escape volocity, you come up with a pentagonal shape. Another important thing to note is that the lines denote straight "apparent" distances and also that the space between the lines on the topological surface denote equal distances. Having said this you will note often that a bumpy surface not unlike a "golf course" is illustrated. This "golf course" has "holes" in it but they aren't Black Holes. That's because these are holes with no bottom to them. They are in other words "Bottomless pits" like are described in the book of Revelations. You will note that the lines when viewed from the top do look closser together. You will also note that lines around the "holes" the lines do go around in circles. But no line on the oposit sides of any square segment ever meets- no matter how deep into the hole you go. This is correct. But you can never reach the center of this apparent "black hole", not in this universe. Rather, you "keep on falling" forever. This sort of topological green grid easily lends itself to religious metaphysics, with the holes and inclined surfaces representing Sin. Gravity is analogus to sin in this illustration. Just there are "gravitational fields" there are also "fields" of sin. Just as gravity distorts our perception of spacial reality, so Sin distorts our perception of metaphysical reality. The other variable is mass. In some of my writings in the early 'eighties "Mass" is analogus to Big Governments. Some may say that the Cities represent Black Holes of Sin and that like Lot being drawn in by the sin of Sodom and Gamorah, so one is increasingly drawn into a gravitational field. Also a fact noted in my 1980 book is that there are limits to how GOOD a person can be. Goodness is represented by the flat areas. There is a limit to how GOOD you can be because once you have achieved total perfection, that is, achieving everything God created you to be, you can rise no higher. But on the other hand, there is no limit on the depths of depravity and degradation that a man or woman can sink to. (Selah) Some may say that in olden times Cities were behind or inside "The Wall", preferably one covered with ivey like at Wrigley Field. But it isn't really the geographic sweep of government that is inherently Evil in our model. In Startrek they have many far reaching governments. There is the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans, Iconians, Cardassians, The Borg, the Forengi, ect. ect. These governments excersise great geographical domain. No. It is not the geographical domain but the restrictiveness of government regulations that is evil. You can be in a Cult of just 25 people, but they have all sorts of restrictive regulations. This restrictiveness of "heaviness" is reflected in our speech patterns by conservatives and libertarians speaking of getting "the burden of government off our backs". Governments restrict man's creativity and interfer with his personal affairs, and of course it hides behind a Wall. Some Einstinians have said that gravity isn't really a "force" like we view magnatism as a force, but they call it a "field". That is - it generates the "illusion" of pulling us in, but all gravity really is is "bent space". (Selah)
