The Hidden Dimensions of Our Reality

Remember the notions of point, line, plane or square, cube.

We tend to think of our universe as having three dimensions and then possibly time. We stumble at the worry of our death because we think that somehow we cannot reconstruct the other three dimensions of our existence into the time dimension. We fear that for us time ends.

What is the fallacy of all this mistaken reasoning about time? We forget, don't realise, can't see, have no faith in the evidence that there are a plethora of much stronger dimensions hidden within our obvious three dimensions that make the time dimension somewhat limited.

These hidden, yet obvious, dimensions do in fact control our very being and indeed shape our conscious reactions to all our sensations in life. We have our sense of self-awareness because of them and within them is protection of our most vital wants, desires and wishes. The problem is that it takes insight to see the hidden dimensions. The insight comes over time as we accumulate knowledge and eventually reach a takeoff, a critical mass in our awareness that propels us the see the obvious.

The hidden dimensions are associated with laws of mathematics which we understand as self replicating and repeating in squares, cubes, and cubes of cubes. They run throughout our three dimensions of lines, squares, and cubes, which we know ordinarily as our three dimensions. Occasionally, some people's brains will be in tune with the hidden dimensions, such as Dr. Bucke and Walt Whitman.

Hidden within matter is obviously, and I mean quite visibly the dimension of what I can only describe as God. We call the visible evidence of the hidden dimensions a self replicating set. That a physical set can have consciousness is not really so remarkable in reality.

The evidence of other dimensions weaving their way through our obvious three dimensions, plus the three dimensions of time, is not so remarkable if we meditate on them for a while with a bit of higher mathematics. The math really is not even needed but provides the proof.

They are hidden in a sense because most of us don't recognise them even as a dimension or dimensions nor see how it/they extends our existence both within time, within space-time and even outside of visible dimensions into others that the hidden dimension points to.

In fact there are so many hidden dimensions associated with the fractals nature of our multi-dimensional worlds that science will in the future have much work to understand even the surfaces that we recognise.

What do these dimensions mean to us? Lots. They, for a start, show us how God exists. They give proof to the existence of immersions that use matter to produce consciousness and self awareness.

Very simply, by being aware of the many hidden dimensions woven into the fabric of our universes, we can begin to understand our purpose more clearly, how we fit in and how we can shape our conscious future. We can realize that we are fabricated by the hidden dimensions and behave scientifically definable laws as well as have properties inherently God like. We can see God and for some even communicate with God for the first time and realize what God will do with us and for us. We can shed the fear of death and consciously build our own dimensions knowing that they will survive in the three dimensions of time. God should not be anything so extraordinary, but as higher creatures, we can entertain a realistic relationship with God, not a fantasy.

Many of us do, and it's no big deal unless you don't.

Leaking and Wikileaking! Why and why not!

Firstly, it is my opinion that leaking confidential information is inherently wrong. It is above all bad manners. I really can damage social relationships and have serious unforeseen negative consequences. It is unethical. It is usually illegal. You should not do it. People need secret information to do sick things and it's wrong to enable sick actions.

Secondly, systems and exchanges that are open work best. Honesty and trust come from mutual respect inherent in an absence of the disease of addiction in its myriad forms that spawns secrecy and eventually premature death through hundreds of different avenues the worst of them being genocide and all out war.

Religion is an addictive process if it is not open and changeable and look at how religion spawns wars.

Science when it is open is not addictive, but if it is closed becomes addictive and leads to war and competition that leads to war and premature death of people, schools of thought, companies and countries. Just take a look at North Korea or Iran.

So, it is my position that open exchange is the must way to go. We have seen how secrecy of governments leads to mistrust and wars. Look at all the dead from the first and second world wars, the secret alliances resulting in the most horrible of acts and nefarious deeds. Best to be honest in your feelings and be open to the views of those who have healthy approaches to living and exchanging.

Thus, wikileaks, as a phenomenon is not inherently bad. It is much better than not being open about what you feel and believe or closing yourself off from reasoned debate and discussion.

Leaking private information nevertheless is inherently evil and is an attack on the dignity of ones neighbours and colleagues, associates and acquaintances, strangers and not so strangers. Don't practice it!

Shrinking Euro Union Seen by Creditors Who Cried for Argentina - Bloomberg ... Well really?

In my view, Argentina was entirely predictable because of the excessive dollar borrowing, but for members of the Euro zone, I suspect there is a major difference being that it's much easier just to subsidize Greece, Portugal and Ireland while exacting fiscal reform at a pace that is not terribly destructive.

There seems to be such a thing as the America disease and perhaps one should speculate whether American dollar would split up as California goes away from Texas the source of many of it's economic ills.

Such speculation makes one wonder whether the Americans eagerness to push dollars at us from all directions may require a rethink of international currencies such as the US dollar which seem to do more harm than good when used as a substitute for local currency. Crises are possibly lessened by diversification of borrowing and use of diversification foreign currencies for local currency substitutes. The problem is a lack of sophistication by banks and operators at street level.

This may change with technology for communicating currency value of a wider range of assets and liabilities. The trick is at the street level to diversify your currency portfolio.

So it was the breakup of the region locking onto the dollar or yen that we saw with the Asian and Argentinian crisis.

Is the Euro crisis not then in reality a dollar crisis?

Too many dollars used as local currency or as assets / deposits are at the root of our problems.

Well y'er tis our next crisis! Cheap Debt Fuels Private-Equity Revival - NYTimes.com

Filter down economics does not work very well. What caused our international competitive crisis was just that, competition. The competition was fed by too much liquidity and so our wise monetary authorities have increased liquidity thereby increasing the need to compete and creating the very vicious cycle of making the economy messier and messier to manage with bigger and bigger firms gobbling up bigger and bigger firms. Nobody seems to think that feeding the competitive urge to increase the scale of buying and selling assets might just be at the root if our disharmony.

Government action is pushing us deeper and deeper into greater and greater crisis. Would that the policy makers dared read a few economic history textbooks!

Continuous Improvement! Of Course, the Economics Text Books are Basically Wrong Which is Why the Fed's Policy is so Messy

Throw thirty years into a real economy and the thirty years you missed in your textbook make it obsolete, as well as your economy, if it doesn't reform constantly. That's the missing factor in text books. Call it capitalized labour, innovation, technology embodied in capital, market change, competitive restructuring. Well, the economic text books don't cover it very well, freakonomics or not! Everything has to improve continuously to match the reality of technical change.

How do we stay on top of our changing environment?

We do it by continuous education of our total workforce. To make an incentive, we need to value the process of improving continuously. We do that by making psychological factors pull and push us forward.

How does flooding the money market help? I have no idea?????

David Einhorn Explains How QE2 Will Affect The Average American In One Sentence

Why does one suspect that David is right? The problem is not liquidity so much as overhang and debt which increased liquidity probably will not help that much. Could a side effect be weakening of the dollar as it's value in the eyes of domestic holders declines? Perhaps overkill is too strong, but who is this increase supposed to help, the repayers of loans from the government or overextended consumer borrowers? Or, is it some third group of upscale taxpayers who want to get their kids university costs paid for?

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
