LEARNING SOMETHING NEW
Funny, how your own words come back to haunt you!
How many times have I said to students, to adults, and especially to elderly people:
“The minute you stop learning, you start dying!” Now, here I am, one of the
elderly, myself, if that is determined by the number of years one has lived in
this life, and I am learning something new! No, it’s not Alzheimer’s, where
everything is new because you’ve forgotten what you heard just ten minutes ago,
it’s really something new. Oh, you say, “Haven’t you heard? There’s nothing new
under the sun!” Now, that has a ring of truth to it if you have stopped
learning, either because you are tired of learning, or because you think you already
know it all. No, there is more to reality than just what’s under the sun. That’s
the mistake that materialists make. There is a lot to learn beyond the sun. If
you are a human being, endowed with a brain and a mind, your potential is
infinite, - so, of course there’s always the possibility of something new!
Now, to be sure, there’s a difference between
something that is new to me, but that has already been learned by someone else,
and something that’s totally new to every living being. The first is definitely
possible, because I don’t know everything, and the second is going to be exceedingly
rare. Let me give you some examples:
Recently, I learned that love is something
that can happen to a human being at any age. Not only that, love is something
that takes on an undeniable life of its own, independent of the consciousness,
beliefs, and aversions or desires of those in love. True love is not just something
between two individuals, it creates its own reality, a reality that transcends the
individuals. It is an expanded state of consciousness engulfing them both, a reality
that transcends time and space!. If you are infected and overcome by this thing
called love, your life is irrevocably changed. Suddenly, life takes on new
meaning. Every love song you have ever heard, and some you haven’t, have new,
deep meanings that you’ve never heard before!
On the other hand, what I’ve learned about gimmel, the real, but non-physical part of reality, since discovering it more than 10 years
ago, is new in the second sense. I find no evidence that anyone, scientist,
philosopher, or whatever, has learned of this before, at least not in this
historical cycle of time. I cannot discount the possibility that mental virtue,
understanding and realization may have been more advanced at some distant time
in the past, perhaps even advanced far beyond what we know now. While gimmel
sheds light on problems and conundrums that have puzzled scientists and
philosophers for hundreds of years, and its existence has been proved using
solid empirical data and mathematical logic, mainstream scientists are still not
prepared to admit that something non-physical exists. Proof of the existence of
gimmel, and demonstrations of how it solves problems untouched by mainstream
science have been published in several papers and three books, the latest being Secrets of the Sacred Cube, yet almost no one
seems to notice.
So that’s another new thing I’ve learned: No one really
wants a new idea, especially if it conflicts with their deep-seated beliefs. It
seems scientists are as pig-headed about this as anybody else, maybe even more so,
because not only their belief in materialism, but also their life’s work is
threatened! So, as Max Planck once said, new science has to wait as science
progresses from funeral to funeral! But now, I want to do something else,
because I have learned something else, call it a realization, if you want: If,
after years of study, you have learned a truth, you must stand up and tell your
truth, whether anyone wants to hear it or not. To do otherwise is to be untrue
to yourself. Remaining silent after a discovery is the same as denying the
discovery.
So here’s another truth: I am an American! My
ancestors came here from Europe to escape exactly what governments are trying
to do now: to deny you your human rights and freedom; take your hard-earned
cash and give it to someone else, - only after they take enough of it for
themselves to continue living in the high style provided for them by the very way
of life they are working so hard to destroy! As Mark Twain said: “Don’t trust
liars and thieves, or congress, but then I repeat myself!”
I will stand up for the
freedoms my ancestors fought and died for. If we don’t stand up for liberty and
the right to pursue happiness in the way that we see fit, the next generation
will not have a chance to enjoy the freedom we have had.
When government assumes the role of God, we are all
in very deep trouble. Yes, some government is necessary, but a ruling burocracy
is a cancer that soon metastasizes into autocracy. When government denies you
the right to pray, worship, work, and be responsible for your own health and
happiness, for any reason, they are also denying the existence of God. Just
look at any socialist, Marxist, or communist government anywhere, any time. The
idea of a Higher Power is not tolerated. And it never works. Such governments always
spend far beyond their means, trying to fulfill impossible utopian promises.
Sooner or later, such governments fail, because the dependent masses they
cultivate to support their agenda eventually outnumber the productive citizens
and the whole Ponzi game crumbles, usually after a lot of violence, suffering
and dying.
If you are an American, whether your ancestors came
here by the land-bridge, on the Mayflower, or on a flight from somewhere a
short time ago, don’t let this happen to the Land of the Free and the Home of
the Brave. Stand up against any self-appointed elite class that tries to force
their beliefs on everyone else, whatever they call themselves. Some form of global
government may eventually evolve, but it won’t be socialism, and trying to
force globalism to happen through social engineering and government mandates is
a sure recipe for disaster. Stand with Patrick Henry, who said: “Give me
liberty, or give me death!” Death with dignity is preferable to becoming a pawn
in the masses supporting a bloated government of any kind.
The social engineers are prevailing right now by
creating unreasonable fear. By inflating the data in some pretty obvious ways,
under the guise of being extra careful to stop the spread of a coronavirus, they
are trying to condition you to accept unconstitutional government mandates.
With enough exaggeration to create widespread fear, they can get away with
completely illogical mandates. For example, if masks and social distancing are
effective, why did we need to close businesses and deprive people of the right
to work, support their family, and carry on normal lives? While vaccines can be
effective in some cases, in most cases it’s like closing the barn doors after
the horses are already out. Wouldn’t it be better to teach people how to
strengthen their immune systems by natural means first, so that injecting
poisons into their blood streams wouldn’t be necessary? But, of course, there’s
not much money in letting people learn how to take responsibility for their own
health.
It is interesting that pseudo-intellectuals are so
often the ones pushing socialism, - and our universities are full of them. Don’t
they realize that “after the revolution”, they are the ones usually rounded up
and shot? Totalitarian governments cannot tolerate people who think for
themselves. After the bloom of the utopian dream fades, socialist governments
have only two choices: Either adopt some form of capitalism to keep their
economy afloat, or be overthrown by angry mobs of people when they realize they’ve
been lied to by the governing elite.
You might ask what my agenda is, am I going to tell
you who I think you should vote for? No. My agenda is not to tell you what to
think, it is to try to get you to think for yourself. You can vote however you
want, or not vote at all. That’s part of the freedom our founders gave us. But,
if you do plan to vote, do some research, and know who and what you are voting
for. Too many Americans have failed to do that for the past sixty years or so.
Don’t be persuaded by what politicians promise, be persuaded by what they do or
don’t do. Remember what Mark Twain said.
During my career, I have taught
mathematics, worked for a government agency, worked for three or four large
corporations, and started my own company. In my opinion, government is the most
corrupt, least efficient, and most wasteful. With government, less is definitely
better.
So now you know where I stand. I am for God, family,
science, and country, in that order. But all four are almost equally important. Life without love is not really life, it’s
just existence. Religion without science is just wishful thinking, science
without spirituality is meaningless, freedom without government is chaos, but
government without freedom is tyranny, and voting without knowing what you are
voting for is like spitting into the wind.
