Pathways to Revelation or Invention
Revelation or invention are processes whereby a sentient being acquires useful information that is extremely difficult to obtain in normal circumstances. The process is so rare that a community regards such events with extreme respect whether it occurs within religious or scientific community. We often speak of revelation in the context of prophets and prophesy when they state that they have received a message or understood a message from an esoteric or exoteric source. Invention we think of as a secular event, but the process of revelation and invention are almost one in the same.

Speculative Understandings About Joy and Mythology
Our paradox is that joy, human joy, is based on a myth. A myth is a vision and feeling that we hold of a reality that is not yet real. Our joy, and almost all joy, is an expectation of something that is not now, but that we experience in the now which says something about the future, which has all the makings of a myth.

What Direction Are You Heading?
Its something that we often forget. Where am I heading? Do I even know where I am going? Why am I going anywhere? Heh! Stop! I want to get off. I don't want to move, do, think, experience, be, act, play, feel, sort, help, hinder, break, build, touch, see. I want to rest.

Modern Myths
In the modern world, we have an attitude. We don't see that we have an attitude, and that is the problem. The attitude comes in three flavours: the realist, the spiritual, and the perplexed.The realist everyone will recognize because it is the attitude of those that have attended the great universities, taken social science classes, and survived. The survival, however, means that the graduate has an attitude. The attitude is that man will continue to make progress technologically and this will lead to improvements in society and economies. If the world is to be successful, then people need an education that will enable them to see it as it is. Successful people are people who see the world in all its cause and effect glory.

The True Myth
Such a phrase seems entirely contradictory, but it has meaning nevertheless. In our Western culture, we are wrapped up in a thought world that tells us to disregard certain aspects of our reality. These aspects have been pushed into a mental box that we label 'unreal.' Because the things and concepts in the thought box are unreal, we think that we can ignore them.

I Don't Think You Realize How Big the Universe Is
Two friends are walking through a meadow looking up at the sky and across at the hills beyond. They glance at the blossom of meadow flowers scattered joyfully around them. They watch a brown cow chewing its selection of grass. They hear the sheep in the distance on the slopes nearby. A crow caws in the distance, and a butterfly darts ahead of them through the tall grass.

Gratitude and the Open Book Laws of Association and Relativity
In an earlier blog, I presented the notion that 'the secret' was crass commercialization and little else. It behooves me to present the open and free alternative to 'the' secret. My alternative to 'the secret' and the alleged 'laws of attraction', which incidentally do not work other than by random processes disguising advantageous associations, are the immutable laws of association and relativity. You have probably already learned of the laws of relativity from scientists of physics and cosmology and possibly from my earlier blogs.

A Cosmos in Which Light Stands Still
You have to admit light and gyroscopes both exhibit some very strange properties. Gyroscopes seem to spin and move in ways that don't seem connected to normal laws of physics. Light seems to move in ways that don't seem initially, at least, to conform to normal laws of physics. Both light and gyroscopes are subject to processes in ways that do not easily conform to what we regard as normal reality. In fact, gyroscopes do conform to the laws of physics, but we see that we need to have a clearer idea of the nature of gravity. Light obeys physical laws, but we may be misinterpreting how. I just throw out my reservation, not because I know how, but because it is an interesting proposition, i.e. that science may have its explanation all wrong. What we experience in our reality is torque, which conveys directed energy. When we do not experience torque of any shape or form, we may not detect it. If our senses and reality are geared only to torque, we may miss the entire show around us.

Faster than the Speed of Light
If Jay Leno is right, scientists have discovered that light is so fast that it can travel backwards in time. Oh my! Oh my! Can that be true? Is light deciding where to go before it decides where to go. That's like saying human beings make decisions before they make decisions. Can that be true? Do we decide something before we decide something? If we do, then we need to think hard and deep about the process of deciding.

A Most Deadly Secret
The no-brainer in the notion of "The Secret" is the corollary observation that if you know a secret, or even 'the' secret, then you will most certainly attract something, or someone, to you, and it won't be pleasant. This is because there are real secrets out there and there are people who will do anything to ensure that these secrets are kept. The promise of death is what ensures the 'law of attraction'. Learn the real secrets and you will almost certainly come under the influence of the various laws of attraction. The real issue is whether you can reveal real secrets without attracting those who would destroy you.

Researching the Ancient Past
One of my favourite activities is researching the past. It is through an attempt to reach back in time that one gains a footing that allows one to move forward in time. What one realizes is how much the realm of time is akin to an enormous tree whose roots stretch down into the rotted past and whose branches reach upward into the light of the sun and speculations as to where one's future lies. In both cases the process is an active process in which time does not have an existence other than as a marker of the present moment in a very tiny space that one thinks of as one's present awareness.

Living to be One Thousand a Myth, Dream or Possibility?
When I first read Genesis in the Bible, I was curious about the giants and the people who lived to be a long age. Someone explained to me that the people who lived beyond five hundred years were not individual people but families. Still, the notion of living to a very old age was inspiring. We see around us trees that survive human beings and live to be well over two thousand years old. How?

Why Didn't Someone Tell Me?
When might you ask or exclaim, "Why didn't someone tell me?" Perhaps, just perhaps, someone did tell you, but you were not listening, or you could not interpret what they were saying.In our world of advertising, we are constantly bombarded with information, or messages, in forms that are intended to distract us from thinking broadly about things. We are being loudly guided in our thoughts towards relatively narrow solutions. That is the role of advertising and most forms of paid communication. If the messages are too loud or the solutions favouring some particular group, we think of them as propaganda.

Religion as Models of What Should Be and of Fairness
The purpose of a religion would seem to be that of giving people an ideal towards which they can direct their energies. We can search for the source of the inspiration of the 'messages' that enable a religion to form, or an individual to become receptive to an ideal or pattern within oneself or between oneself and the cosmos. It is this search process that forms the basis of the notion of pilgrimage. What happens is that some one tells some one else that they should go somewhere and if they do, they will be inspired by either the journey to that place or by the place itself. Often, it is the very act of trying that makes the search meaningful.

What is Freedom and Time?
An aspect of our present world is that we seem to be able to extend the present instance both forward and backward in time. The obvious derivative question is whether or not this trend can continue so that in the future we will have a significantly larger present.

The Richard Dawkins' Viewpoint of God as Delusion
Some people like to be at the center of controversy. Posit one absurdity and someone will refute it with another absurdity. Take the extreme of an argument and the response against that argument will probably be extreme. Develop an extreme science that posits an extreme view of reality and others will posit alternative extremes.

Lost Knowledge and the Very Real Significance of Wuh
Stonehenge and my stories of Wuh Lax are very closely intertwined hystorically. I use the term hystory to distinguish it from history, which I am claiming is further from the truth when it comes to the early period of Britain. History needs to be rewritten after it is thoroughly researched.

We are Flying Apart in a Wuh Lax World
In my Wuh Lax vision of the universe, we are flying past each other all the time. Our world is like a giant space ship that is carrying us along. My mind then leaps to the notion that the spaceship is getting larger and larger and we inside the spaceship are getting larger and larger. This view, the Wuh Lax view of the world, is but one of many.

The Problem Within a Speed-of-Light World
My mind just wonders why we have to see the speed of light as something. I am reading Lee Smolin's book "Three Roads to Quantum Gravity" and not really focusing on a view of the world as he sees it. Instead in my mind, I am blowing apart and light is standing still.

The Wuh Lax Paradigm of Lost Light and Why it is Useful
In the world of Wuh Lax, or as I think of it, in the days of Wim and Wuh, some 50 years AD, the physics of the universal world was seen in a very different way. The paradigm of Wuh Lax's astra cosmic physics posits that the universe is to be interpreted differently.

An Inside Out Universe
It may seem a simple question, but it matters a great deal whether the world is inside out. "Oh Dear," you say! "You can't be serious?" "Well yes, or is it no! I am not not serious," I reply, but "The question is definitely worth asking."

The Nature of Art and Light
The name of the artist Lucy Willis is associated with her books on how to capture the effects of light in one's water colour painting. She won the BP Portrait award in 1992 and her work has appeared on show in the National Portrait Gallery and on the web of the NPG. In her own right, Lucy is almost a famous artist. Her siblings, her father, mother, some of her grand parents are also well known artists deriving from a common Bateman ancestry. Bateman, himself, the grandfather of Lucy is a well known cartoonist in the UK, at least, for those of us who were around when he was active more than half a century ago.

What Really is the Speed of Light?
When we think about the speed of light, we make some very serious assumptions. What if some of these assumptions have to be revised? At one time, people thought that the earth was the center of the universe and the planets and sun revolved around the earth. We have since found that this paradigm of the earth being at the center of the universe was quite wrong.

The Void, Spacetime, and the Curvilinear Cross
I often think that one needs a really healthy dose of imagination or image realizing abilities to understand complex relationships. Perhaps, this is only in the case of those with eyesight that is colonically rich!?My main point to make this morning is that 'modern man' is not modern at all. Ancient man had a non-linear cross that our linear cross derives from. We today have mostly branched off into what falls into my small bucket of 'linear musings'. It's a curious oddity that we have so much progressed in understanding romantic or Romanized linear relationships with so little understanding of non-linear relationships. We use symbolism as contained in our letters and words, which make up sounds and sentences, which then get added together to form paragraphs and paragraphs of hopefully reasonably well-expressed logic.

Revision is the Nature of Life
The Immediate Problem .... Yesterday's blog was very long. Parts of the writing were more exploratory than I expected when starting different trains of thought. It was obvious when I looked at the blog later that I should do some revision and editing. Revision of one's writing is normal. Some writers will revise and revise until they have almost nothing of value. The problem is continually that when you are getting your thoughts out, you tend to have a window of opportunity in which you can follow a train of thought. If you lose the train of thought, which is a stream of ideas that translate themselves into words, you don't accomplish the goal of expressing that inner impulse.

A Guide to Thinking - Consciousness, Omega 3 and Multiple Dimensional Exploration
When one has the quiet of the morning, it is a time when thoughts can appear within the mind unstimulated by the stimuli of action and reaction associated with the many aspects of daily life. One of the possibilities of the early morning mind is an exercise to awaken one's spirit. Exercise of the spirit is only part of the process of travelling across universes. One needs to feed the brain the best food and stay well away from chemicals or drugs that the brain does not consider as normal brain food.

The Shedding of Form
One of the amazing creations of the life process is the ability of some forms of life to shed one form and adopt another. We commonly notice that some creatures such as butterflies that can fly great distances, and as in the case of the monarch butterfly several thousand miles, emerge from creatures that would otherwise experience a few hundred feet at the most.

Art and Colour and the Da Vinci Code that Dan Brown Missed
It may come as no surprise that two people looking at the same painting will have very different reactions. An artist knows this before beginning a new work, and must decide on an approach in the selection of a dominant colour or in a combination of colours. The interesting thing is that an artist will in the process of selecting colours for a new painting reveal something personal that can provide the basis of a psychological profile.

Why Religion and Science are Different Disciplines
Ever wonder what the fundamental difference between science and religion is? It is that to make a religion requires only one, while to make science requires two. When religion tries to become science, it fails miserably, and when science tries to be religion, it fails miserably. The reason is simple and is because they are mutually exclusive disciplines depending on whether one or two people are involved at the same time.

Light, the Mind, Eternity and Higher Levels of Existence
The world is so constructed that your past, present, and future all co-exist. Time is perceived as a flow of consciousness or partial consciousness. Your conscious mind is an imperfect instrument that can only read, i.e. perceive through your senses, a portion of the universe nearest you at any one sampling. Your mind interacts with its environment by extracting information in the form of heat, light, sound. Some of these are fermions and others leptons. These are both waves and particles, and within any light particle is an infinity of information being an aspect of its nature.
