GIMMEL, LIFE AND CONSCIOUSNESS

Reflections on Gimmel, Life and Consciousness

Windows are so very nice, for looking out at trees and sky,

But they present a hazard for our feathered friends who fly,

And may mistake reflections there for part of their reality,

And try to reach and perch upon a branch of an imagined tree.

I heard an impact on the glass, and looked, hoping not to see,

A small body lying on the ground, alas, another sad fatality.

As I watched this little life depart,

It took my breath and broke my heart.

Why God, I asked, why must this be?

Why do you brook this cruelty?

I imagined the small egg within the nest,

The feathered warmth of mother’s breast,

It seems so similar, you see,

To what happens to you and me.

This happy little winged thing

Left the nest, his song to sing,

To spread his feathered wings and fly

To know and love the earth and sky.

But, suddenly, he’ll sing no more,

He flutters now, at death’s dark door.

In a moment this spark of life is gone, - and so,

I must ask from whence it came, where did it go?

As I lay his lifeless form to rest,

I have to ask: God, is this a test?

And when my body turns to dust,

As nature’s laws decree it must,

Where does the ‘I’ that I am go?

I’m asking and demand to know!

That little bird then spoke to me,

Not in words nor in bird chatter,

But in a flash of clarity I see:

Life or death, it does not matter.

A deeper question I must ask:

Beyond a bird or human mask,

What are the subtle links that tether

Gimmel, life and mind together?

The message that experience imparted was: It is time for me to move on. For more than 30 years, I’ve worked to perfect the mathematical proof that there is a part of reality that is non-physical, a real component beyond mass, energy space and time, that integrates the experience of consciousness and spirit with the awarerness of the physical universe. With the calculus of dimensional distinctions, the true quantum math, and dimensional extrapolation, linking Plato and Pythagoras, Cantor and Fermat, Planck and Einstein, the proof is complete. A handful of professional thinkers have confirmed this. But materialist mainstream scientists will try to disprove this until they draw their final breath. I’m through with trying to convince them. As Planck so correctly pointed out many years ago: “Science progresses from funeral to funeral.” We can’t expect many who have devoted their entire lives to materialism to be swayed even by mathematical proof. 

Gimmel, the third form of reality, is neither matter nor physical force, but it is a fact; it is real. There are those who will understand it, and those who won’t. As my son Joshua likes to say: “It is what it is!” So, we must move on to the more important deeper question: What is the relationship between gimmel, and the realities of human experience: life and consciousness?

I held that tiny body in my hands and watched the spark of his life fade and flicker out. I’ve experienced the same thing with other animals, including human beings, when vital organs are damaged beyond the possibility of functioning as they had when in good health; but his time was different. I realized that after the signs of life as a bird were gone, gimmel still existed in the atoms of the body; otherwise, the cells, molecules and atoms would all decay into the mass and energy of sub-microscopic quarks, and the body would disappear. Of course, this does happen over time, as various stages of organic decay proceed, but life is still there, many days later, it’s just no longer the life that expressed itself as a bird. Many of the cells of various parts of that body are still functioning. What if, I could bring together the quantum units of gimmel remaining in the body to reassemble the broken bones of the neck, or the crushed muscles of the heart, would the bird come back to life and fly away? Or is there a way to add units of gimmel to a finite physical form by the power of thought?

I have proved that gimmel, like mass and energy, is conserved in any process, and that strongly suggests that consciousness survives physical death. 

There is no doubt in my mind that gimmel is the connection between consciousness, life and the atomic structure of the physical universe, and that the potential for conscious life existed in the mutable mass and energy of quarks even before they became the first protium atoms of physical reality. The important question now is to determine exactly how consciousness works through gimmel and the dimensions of space and time to form life-supporting organic structures. If we can answer this question, we are not only on our way to knowing God’s thoughts, as Einstein wished to do, but we will also begin to know how the mind of God works.

If this of interest to you, then stay tuned, because this will be my focus henceforth.
