Meta- Consciousness

If one assumes that the earth's biosphere functions as an organism albeit a huge one then we can take that conclusion and expand it to the fact that the world will have a form of consciousness.The analogy between a self contained living entity with it's myriad of feedback and feedforward mechanisms and the whole earth with it's corresponding control mechanisms seems complete.Consciousness however seems to creep into living beings certainly animals because it facilitates existence.If consciousness can come into being in a mind which is made of unconscious cells then it will certainly come into existence in an entity made of conscious units.These monads of consciousness are not just human but all the animals and fish and insects who also are aware and interact with each other.The earth is a conscious being composed of conscious beings which makes it infinitely more complex than ourselves a type of meta-consciousness.This will explain synchronicity when events come together to aid or thwart our plans it is not coincidence but the work of a higher mind which we can barely perceive.Two examples would be when the German armies were stopped by the unusually cold Russian winter in WW2 just as Napoleons had been earlier or when the Mongol army was destroyed twice by typhoons whilst trying to invade Japan. The earth mind solves problems in the east as well as the west.So what of this idea itself will it be helped by the world to expand or will it wither and die.Once we understand that we are part of a larger whole we of necessity will try to nourish that one which is the earth which means we will be more friendly towards the earth mind and more environmentally predisposed.The earth would rather be healthy than sick so it will in it's mysterious way work to advance this idea.An idea whose time has come and if true will spread across the world at the speed of light and in ways to people and cause effects we cannot imagine.How else could it be.

The List Of True Economic Interactions Is Non-Denumerable

The economy is made up of various interactions between people and things in order to satisfy human needs mostly physical but also psychic.Now if the relationships between production and consumption of the various components are listed according to complexity we will end up with a group of programs stating the correlations between input and output.The problem is just when we think we have listed all the relationships and gave a deterministic account of the economy we can enlarge upon it to show our theory is incomplete.This is done by the familiar process of diagonalization by creating a new product which is made up of parts of the existing.Now this new product will not be able to be assimilated into the existing structure since it is different from anything now existing and our system is only able to process what we have since one of our assumptions is that we have encompassed all the possible economic interactions. As such economics is of necessity incomplete and in order to find out what will happen the economy must be run and only occasionally will theories be born out in reality.It is an empirical fact that economists predictions are invariably wrong sometimes spectacularly so.Now you know why. Any ideology which purports to say it is possible to capture the economy in a theory is equivalent to a theory which says it can know the outcomes of all computer programs which of course is impossible.Good -bye socialism. So socialists take their place in history beside circle squarers and angle trisectors as people who wasted their time trying to accomplish that which is impossible.

The Truth Needs No Embellishment Or A Holy Introduction

One thing which seems to be constant is that the more flowery the pitch the more suspect the message and that is whether someone is selling a high yield investment or snake oil or a religion.A religious book of course is never written on ordinary paper or left unembellished but is invariably written in beautiful script with pictures and designs just like the images at the circus.By contrast a physics paper is written in plain language but contains far more information than a religious tract.Religious books also mention that they are holy right on the cover just in case there is any doubt just like any charlatan proclaims he is the greatest showman on earth.A sort of book report right in the title.Contrariwise a truly honest and wise man or woman does not need special clothes to proclaim their wisdom.Religions are overcompensating for a known weakness therefore the elaborate garb and literature.

What Is Your Religion?

If you answered any of the major religions then you have implicitly admitted that you believe that there are angels floating around and a devil and all the baggage that goes along with religion.Whether fundamentalist or moderate you nonetheless have bought into the story of each religion which invariably involves higher powers and their minions talking to people and giving them simple and useless information as opposed to difficult and useful information.Telling people what to wear is simple and useless as opposed to a cure for cancer which is difficult and useful.We all know into which category "angelic" messages fall. So in this way you have internalised the schizophrenia inherent in communicating with imaginary beings and made it part of your being although perhaps in an unconscious and perhaps unassuming way.Discard all references to unscientific iron age sophistry and challenge all others to prove their beliefs by tangible means not just words and circular arguments.You will find they cannot.

Celestial Auschwitz

We have all heard of the Nazi concentration camps and Soviet gulags which are the epitomy of horrible places and evil but is there a place that is even worse? According to "religious scholars" an oxymoron if there ever was one this place is called Hell.A place so horrific that it's victims would think a day at Dachau is a romp in the park but unlike it's earthly pretender there is no escape from Hell not even death.Some people did emerge from concentration camps or were even released but no mercy is shown to those who enter Hell.Furthermore the sentence in Hell will not be for a few years but will last forever even until the stars have burnt out and become cold.A truly psychotic vision if there ever was one.So who would sentence us to this monstrous fate Hitler, Stalin or Pol Pot no it is non other than God the being who is merciful and loves us! George Orwell could'nt have come up with better example of doublethink in yet this line is believed by millions and in fact is a core belief. The crime which will get us there is not believing that God exists! So God created the universe but has the emotional developement of a twelve year old and wants our attention constantly. A non self actualized deity or a perfect proxy for those who proselytize his existence.According to religion God created the universe but like an insecure child needs our attention constantly and as shown earlier isn't very good with money either .A god which must be sustained by our constant attention and naturally the giving of money to religious authority in other words a bootstrap deity whose existence is proclaimed by mythical entities and this nonsense passes for thinking.

The Idea Of A Devil Puts All Of Religion At Risk

Amongst monotheistic religions the struggle between good and evil is a central tenet of their existence although these concepts cannot be defined in a precise way.As a limit all of evil becomes embodied in a thing called a devil who of course is evil personified.However being evil and having the ability to shapeshift just like in a cartoon makes the existence of most religions highly suspect.No doubt the devil would lie and even pretend he is God and issue orders to people and who could tell if it was him or God talking?Certainly no person could distinguish between the two because otherwise the devil is'nt very powerful.So in order to believe in the devil we must either believe he is moral and would'nt try to fool various people or isn't very smart and could'nt succeed either of which negates his properties! So the idea of a powerful devil is it's own antithought and as soon as it comes into existence should annhilate itself and of course any ideology which depends on it.

It Is As Easy To Not RecognizeA Falsehood As It Is To Not Understand A Truth

The mind has only a finite capacity to understand ideas and those ideas which contain too much information for a particular mind cannot be discerned to be true or false.First the most obvious case is of a difficult mathematical problem which is true but cannot be understood to be such by a certain person or persons because of it's complexity.This is a well know phenomenon which has been experienced by us all at one time or another and is accepted as a part of life.It is true but we cannot understand that it is true.However there is another side and that is of a falsehood which is believed but cannot be understood to be a falsehood.If someone tells you something and it is too complex to understand then it may be true or false and unless there is some experimental way to tell you will never know based on your deductive abilty.Some religious and political doctrines are obviously false in yet are believed by people sometimes for their entire lives and how else could it be.If a person's mind does'nt allow him to discern whether a concept is true or false then no amount of time will allow him to grasp the truth.He will go on believing a falsehood or disbelieving a truth for his entire life.Of course the more complex the theory the smaller the number of people who will understand it until as a limit virtually an entire society can be duped by a flawed theory especially if the theory has a defense mechanism to destroy non believers .Now if a false theory has defense mechanism then the false theory can persist for centuries or perhaps for as long as man exists.That would be tragic end for humanity to constantly relive customs and repeat obsessive compulsive behavior for millenia.It is almost as if these people are possessed by the human equivalent of a programming virus.So man's mind inhabits a narrow range between truths which he cannot understand and falsehoods which he believes but likewise cannot understand as such.History is almost completely made up of economic and social theories and religions which translated into national movements which were later shown to be false but which were almost universally believed at the time.When a theory is too complex to be understood as false but is embraced by the crowd then there is no safety in numbers only danger.

The Discovery Of Dark Energy Destroys Many Religions

Many religions preach the gospel that the universe is eternally recurring albeit over on enormous stretch of time.Just as pieces moving around according to set rules on a chessboard will eventually return to a configuration only to repeat the cycle again or become locked so the religions preach the same line only on an enlarged scale.This is an uncomplicated theory however nature is more subtle than anyone from the iron age could have imagined or anyone else for that matter.If there is even one error in a theory then the whole edifice falls down and must be rebuilt.Well here is one thing that is wrong among others with religions as preached today and that is that eternal recurrence is impossible based on observational evidence.This will be of interest for people who value reality over dogma and for the others it does'nt matter.The universe is expanding and not slowing down as everyone thought until recently and certainly no religion predicted that although one would think that during conversations with people God might have mentioned it.It would certainly help from a credibility standpoint and if the word from God was eternal recurrence then either god does'nt know what is going on or else nobody was talking to God. So with an accelerating expansion the atoms which were together at the big bang and are now at a large enough separation will never be together again . Hence no eternal recurrence and hence all religions which hold the doctrine of eternal recurrence are null and void.

Was Abraham A Schizophrenic

Suppose in the newspaper today you read of a man who had his child tied up on an altar and was about to kill him what would be your reaction?For most people it would be that the man in question was insane in the extreme.If anyone was caught with their child tied up ready for sacrifice they would be instantly put into a mental institution with the cry going up that they should never be released again which is exactly what should happen.So if someone is insane today why would'nt they be insane thousands of years ago doing the same thing.There is no reason and someone who heard voices thousands of years ago or today is equally at risk. So if this is true and it seems logical then that means that all monotheistic middle eastern religions are the fruits of a schizophrenic mind.That does'nt mean that they are incorrect but it does cast doubt on their validity.So if all the people who talk to god are schizophrenic and we internalize their message then we are all a little insane and it permeates our society and most societies.If you have ever talked to a religious zealot you know that with their angels and obsessive compulsive behavior in all aspects of their lives that they have partially taken leave of their senses.In yet these are the people who many look up to for guidance when really they have nothing going for them but the strength of their convictions and potential threats either here or in the netherworld..So is it surprising that a large percentage of the population is so pathetic that they carry around some dementia and believe it or judging by all the nonsense going on in the world is that inevitable. This is where denial comes to the rescue of the hoaxers because how could so many people be so fooled for so long.This of course is a self fulfilling prophecy because now they can say look at all the people who believe like we do and the naive will go along with them and add to their numbers which reinforces their argument even more.So their argument boils down to look at all the people who believe like we do but the reason why there are those people is because of people who believed before them .A perfect circular argument which if analyzed correctly falls apart but which is employed with much success by hoaxers.

Have You Ever Seen An Angel?

Have you ever sen an angel?Do you know anyone who has or know anyone who knows anyone who has?The answer will be invariably no.So where all the angels and why do those that supposedly appear only do so in the middle of nowhere?Why not in times square where we can all see them?The same goes for flying saucers why are they all in Outer Mongolia or some other out of the way place but never seen hovering over the white house.When these angels do supposedly appear why don't they tell us something useful and difficult like how to cure cancer not what people should wear and eat which any good playwrite could come up with.Angels if they do exist will know how to cure cancer because after all they are sent by god and he by definition would know how to do that.So why did'nt the angels tell us something simple like there are nine planets or perhaps the periodic table or some relativistic transformations.They would know these things so why did we have to wait for Mendelev or Einstein.There are many things that angels could do to prove their existence but don't and why.The answer is simple and that is they don't exist!It strains credibility in the extreme to believe in them and the proof should be on the people who tell us they exist to actually produce one and not give rationalizations as to why they don't appear or even tell us something verifiable about the world. If someone is going to make a preposterous claim they should prove it.
