LIFE: Love Infinitely Furthers Evolution, Sander R.B.E. Beals [best romance novels of all time .txt] 📗

"It strikes me as unfair, and even in bad taste, to select a few individuals for boundless admiration, attributing superhuman powers of mind and character to them. This has been my fate, and the contrast between the popular assessment of my powers and achievements and the reality is simply grotesque."

(Einstein from a 1921 interview with a Dutch newspaper)

My granddad may well have read Einstein's very modest statement quoted just now, since he was alive around Einstein's time, as common lore has it. As a matter of fact we all are, but let's not get into that just yet. My granddad was, for all intents and purposes, the very opposite of Albert Einstein: a farmer's son, who's biggest passion was rhyming about and for the people in the village where he lived. Does that mean he and Einstein were totally different? Heck no! Before his breakthrough, even Einstein was an everyday patent clerk with a passion for science and technology, and how it pertained to the All. And the saying above only proved that after the vindication which his scientific work brought him, he was still every bit as normal as my granddad and any one of us.

Now we all have countless experiences every day, and in one way or another, we use those in shaping our way of life. Einstein worked with numbers, and as such he used the framework of science to build his theories. Likewise, my granddad used events happening in his life and those of others, to write his poetry about. And to keep in style, most of my writing is also about my passion: figuring out the All! Funny sync is that without knowing about the eventual sync myself, I started a movie called Super 8 a while ago, which right now shows me aliens do it in essentially the same way: our cornered alien needs to rebuild his spaceship, and to him or her all the objects and people around are fit to use for repairing its ship or remaining fed. Too bad though, he or she didn't take the time to learn about the proper use of humans before finishing the ship. I guess RTFM even happens way out there...

Building upon their achievements, and those of many others , I've come to believe that we may base our actions on those events, but we need not restrict ourselves to them. We are not standing on top of a pyramid of beings after all, but right in between them. Some of them support us physically, others do it in virtual way, across electronic or spiritual boundaries. Basically, if we restrict ourselves, we may think we're sticking to the reality we call truth, as opposed to going further than anyone told you, and calling it discovery or fiction. But what if the information you receive isn't quite truthful, or you interpret it incorrectly? Well, you can worry about it, or take the next step from where the Buddha ended up, and simply enjoy it all right Here and Now. It is merely a matter of believing that the Grand Design a.k.a. the Incredible Machine, the Cosmos or the All isn't called that for nothing: being Infinite, it will always have room for all possible outcomes of any event, so there is no way to choose incorrectly: every possible fantasy will even be reality somewhere! Basically, it is like a grand library: you walk in, and when you walk out you take some book(s) to read. The other books remain in there, simply because they weren't your choice at that moment. OK, some you may never read, but other people might love them!

(in New Age circles this is what they call the Akashic Library, I guess....)

One last piece of info from me to you for what it is worth: I have the experience that we do not know it all, but we damn well know how well we know it! Also we have an intuitive grasp of the suitability for our purposes of the info that reaches us, which is called discernment. You may believe or disbelieve that, but the moment you've had that feeling of absolute knowing, it is no matter of belief anymore! Just listen to your GUT, in more ways than one.....

Right Here, Right Now,

As a kid, I loved those "connecting the dots" pictures. Even though often the end result would be quite obvious even before my pen touched dot one, I'd take great pleasure in seeing my creation appear on paper, ready for further enhancement by coloring or other ways of filling in the blanks. Over time I have experienced that the distances between the dots may seem way larger, but somehow the game still holds because you still only have to look for the next step in your personal evolution. You can try and solve everybody else's puzzle at the same time too, but they may not appreciate that: like children in kindergarten, they'll think you're trying to steal their toys. Instead, you can almost always try to give toys away, a method which is often appreciated. As such, I give away "Infinity plus One", "Art of War once Moore" and this book, but humbly suggest a donation of 1 euro if you really think you need to pay....

(All just modest but still very relevant contributions to the 'Dreamhome' fund..... )

By the time the stars were out there before I was sent to bed as a kid, my awareness of them became just like that of the game mentioned above, although negative in that they were white dots on a dark velvet background, but at the same time positive because of the hope and awe of their mystery. Back then I didn't know the term "nerd", yet I absolutely was one! Jet Audio just started: "I don't wanna be a freak, but I can't help myself (4x)" Being highly active where my mind was concerned, I'd spend many an hour after being sent to bed in a very intense game of thinking things through and feeling how I felt about them, connecting the dots of the day into a coherent contraption that I called my web of knowledge. Back then I thought it mine, but then again anyone with the same dots might have constructed the same web of knowledge. On the other hand, since there are no actual numbers tagged to the dots outside, we can connect them in any order we please!

And just now I discovered that I'm not the only one connecting the dots: He died only recently, after a life full of grandiose achievements and great ideas. Steve Jobs talked about the dots at Stanford, in the video TED-tip #77 Steve Jobs about connecting the dots, which also holds the clue to why he died..... (notice the 77? my personal hangup, a smile from my divine lady.... ;-)

What he was right about though, was the fact that in fact you don't get to connect the dots in the future or the now. Only hindsight can be used, even though looking into the past may only amount to a fraction of an illusionary second. You probably recognize them, those thoughts that hit you in heart and mind at the same time. Basically that is the moment a thought reaches absolute certainty, and flips your mind inside out, creating a realization in the process! What he meant in fact, as I interpret it, is that since there is just the arbitrary time constant called a second, we can only realise new things if new changes bring us new experiences which lead to new insights. This has nothing to do with time, but everything with change, which is said to be the most powerful force in the Cosmos. By the way, have you ever realised that realisation has the power of a double-edged sword? It cuts itself from nothing into an idea, and its second slash can then transfer it from imagination to physical realisation in the material world. Visionaries often call the first step the '10% inspiration', and the second step the '90% perspiration'.

In my experience Jobs is correct, since I now see far more dots get connected in my life than before. It is much like 'knitting with changes'. And believe it or not, they are also more often coming in patterns, rather than as single changes (singularities?). And since the advancement of the Internet made us all WebMinds with way more dots to discover and connect, I'd say we're in for a 'Wevolution'....

Now back in "Infinity plus One", I showed you how a structure evolved from Yin and Yang into a symbol that has both six and seven in its essence. The product of six and seven makes the total come up to Douglas Adams' alledgedly random choice of forty-two as the answer to the question about the meaning of Life in the HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Now I believe him when he says it was a random choice, but then the term random would have to be defined as "not a choice resulting from logic, and thus a choice of the subconscious".

Now let's take the third law of Creation, which basically says that you get back what you give off. That is a tricky one though, because as you can see, there is the second law to take into account also: All is One and One is All. The moment we are balanced and have no wishes, we are basically One, as in the grey sphere. Since the other six spheres are not active (no wishes, right?), we are All and One at the same time: since we wish for nothing, we do not desire our environment to change....

The moment we change our mind about wishing for a thing, situation, or person(s), we drop from the center sphere into the wish sphere. We're still One, but have merely shifted our view of the All. It is kinda like a wheel that needs balancing. And just like an unbalanced wheel acts up when its axis of revolution is tilted, so does the whole of Creation. But let's not call it that, because Creation is just one step in the above cycle, and describing it as a single process that was started once and ended with Genesis is too restrictive, and thus highly inappropriate: Creation is but a step in the cyclic process called the Incredible Machine that is the Cosmos, of which we are distinguished but yet indistinguishable parts! This whole has always been and will always be, since it is infinite, just like the first law says about all of us.

One cycle is an interaction of the One (you) and the All (the Cosmos), a string of three questions and three
