It began with a quote from Thomas Jefferson:

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. Its peculiar character, too, is that no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me. That ideas should freely spread from one to another over the globe, for the moral and mutual instruction of man, and improvement of his condition, seems to have been peculiarly and benevolently designed by nature, when she made them, like fire, expansible over all space, without lessening their density at any point, and like the air in which we breathe, move, and have our physical being, incapable of confinement or exclusive appropriation. Inventions then cannot, in nature, be a subject of property."

    and I just joined suspicious observers ... now, how
    do I find the electrical and magnetic wizard's info? -- j

    Now I'm laughing out loud...still no one around.
    Third shift...I fill in where ever needed as building engineer and watch the front door...this is where I do my research and writings. and get paid to do it...away from the ole women too! Just can't write at home.

    I like the way you put that, Dobrien. Below is a bit of background that will fill in that puzzle picture.
    Accordingly, science finally saw beyond an electron and saw nothing but energy. Now on the quantum side, for unknown reasons, (we can speculate) these units of energy come together bound by a force that binds all at the local level, (gravity) and creates what we see as matter or a solid object.
    I see creation as having all these possibilities, physical laws that favor these creations, ie. matter. The force that created it was conscious and certainly aware of it's creation but I don't think everything in creation is conscious, Consciousness is just the governing force.
    So just as in biology we see instructions and possibilities in DNA that allow a cell to survive and behave in a particular way.
    In terms of these rules or instructions built into creation is what one might refer to as the image a living thing is to reflect...and to chose, as in our case, to do otherwise is to ignore that information which creates disorder and chaos.
    Just proves it was intentional.

    I hope you don't mind, I went a bit farther than I intended...still putting this all together, but you can see that it need not be so mystical...it's just quantum physics, A process the we as conscious beings should profoundly appreciate.

    Thank you John.
    Interesting, like when a record skipped and repeated the same section...that little divot could of been an occultation only even more aggravating.
    Laughing while on 3rd at Hospice...for once no one around to think I'm crazy!

    Thinking that the substance of the universe is matter causes a fear greed dichotomy.
    Thinking that the substance of the universe is consciousness therefore it is behavior that is important.All is number all is mind all is consciousness.

    in fortran, a hundred years ago, the command "do"
    told the computer to calculate something, and the
    "do" phrase included parameters like "from n=1 to n=555"
    and the machine would re-trace back to the "do" command
    for each iteration. . nested do-loops would take a looooong
    time, and pissed off the teacher. -- j

    p.s. recursive = repetitive re-entry into a calculation, or
    "the process of defining a function or calculating a number
    by the repeated application of an algorithm," according to
    dictionary.com

    it's amazing how thoughts are translated into electric power
    in the brain. . when we figure that out, we'll be the wizards
    whom we think we are, now! -- j

    Perhaps a blockage between a quantumly entangled pair?, blocking that right amount of resistance causing chaos...theoelectrically (my made up word) a thought could do that.

    Now, we're getting into science fiction. Which isn't too bad as some of the S.F. writers predicted much with accuracy. In any case the mysteries of the universe are certainly speculative fun.
    Thank you Albert. If you were still alive I'd buy you eine stein Einstein.

    The sequestering for generations of discoveries that are of immense importance blows my mind.

    I think I understand, maybe it's like "occultation", an astrophysical term...like an eclipse?
    Before the eclipse it was cursive but during, it blocks the intention from mind to pen and paper?

    Never heard: do-loop, can you explain differently?

    it might be a do-loop which leads to another do-loop ...
    recursive, kinda like a doctor's handwriting gone
    awry -- it was cursive, before, and now it's nonsense! -- j

    I agree.
    Consciousness could explain many of the mysteries of the physics apparent in the universe. I think that once some of the math and experiment guys get on it, much will be learned.

    Thanks Herb...I jotted down the info.

    My first book, more towards the end begins to broach this subject. I can take it a lot farther now.

    I have applied it to creation and creator and the intentional consequences of it.
    Once outside the pagan bicameral brain and into the mind...it all seems to make sense.

    Quantum physics holds the keys to this. Einstein had a sense of this also.

    Got a good book for you:
    Quantum Enigma
    Physics encounters consciousness
    By Rosenbaum and Kuttner
    Oxford University Press

    Your post is right up my alley. Your interest is very interesting.

    I think you could sign up monthly, $3.00, or just pay monthly and just go for the info you want.
    I pay 30.00 a year and get it all...which includes a Saturday fly on the wall session I find invaluable.

    The stuff I've learned is incredible, stuff we never learned in school.

    Consciousness governs the cosmos; or creation as I prefer. Quantum physics has observed that our mere observation of an event, changes the outcome. Even a measurement device.
    This goes with my thoughts of order/disorder, if we merely follow the rules, the intention of creations consequences, there is order; the moment you make it up on your own, (be what ever you will [alistar crowely) you create disorder.

    The idea of 0 entropy and max entropy is to be somewhere in below the 1/2 way point. So there must be a bit of resistance in order to have consistent order., (just like in a car engine)..that resistance might very well be the rules...which applies to civilization and society as well. It all seems to be quantumly connected.

    Absolutely.
    Physics and the universe is so crazily contradictory that one begins to wonder if it was put together by an insane entity. What if there was a creator who was watching us try to understand the universe and every time we'd get somewhere it would change the rules? On the other hand, there's the possibility that the universe is merely the first stage of knowledge and once the puzzle is solved, a whole new puzzle presents itself. I've gotta stop, I'm getting dizzy.
