Does Time Exist?

I recently watched a documentary wherein (some would say God Himself :] ) Morgan Freeman asks the question "Does time exist?"

I postulate that spaceship Earth, travelling through space, is also a "time machine", and when we get to our destination time will stop. we will then experience ABSOLUTE TIME :)

What's that like. I don't know, I don't have enough memory to remember, assuming that I've ever experienced it before.

I can't possibly prove that what I said above is the truth, but let me remind you that much of what we accept as true is merely held to be true if, statistically, the probability of the "truth" falls within acceptable, statistical confidence levels.

Then it is true.

Until something else gets proven to be "more true", then THAT'S true. It's, well, relatively true.

We don't experience absolute truth at our current level of consciousness, not at this time.

So, does absolute truth exist within absolute time?

Absolutely.

To Deplore or Not to Deplore

Deploratory Exploration

If one does the deplorable, surely one will be deplored.

Fraud is deplorable

In a continuation of a series of comments / replies on a previous topic

http://webtide.blogspot.com/2011/06/have-heart.html

I would like to consider a situation wherein we simply accept one another as we are, whether we agree or not. Real evildoers (in theory, there's that word again) will be executed by the authorities. Not much we can do about that. It's a necessity. Minor cheating is going on everywhere. Not a lot we can do about that either. Clean up our own backyard sounds fruitful.

Science Without a Doubt

So this brings me to the question of are scientists likely to cheat, especially by trying to devalue each other's work to permit more credit to themselves. Scientists would probably disagree, lab rats would probably agree. Vedic wisdom teaches us that we are all cheats and that's why we find ourselves in this painful environment (looks like heaven, feels like hell, that's what I say).

Scientists, like the rest of us, have a similar set of frailties. Some are better some are worse. That's not to say that we can't accept them as much as we accept anyone else. My old friend Rosemary Galvin used to say to me (quote) "Everyone's my friend till they give me a good reason to think otherwise" (end quote)

Look Ma, No Box

Brilliance occurs where you find it. Copernicus, even at risk to his own self, is renowned for his "out of the box" thinking. He simply flew in the face of classical thinking. There are others.

Newton was thinking outside the box. There was no theory of gravity prior to his realization. We can see that one man's speculation is another man's realization. Albert Einstein was delving into the extremes of known science when he formulated his theory. Intuitively he would have known he was on to the right track but had no way of proving it. He possibly had thousands of other ideas that he never shared with us.

This, completely out of the box, level of thought, as Nassim Haramein describes it, is exciting. Read Nassim's Blog/Journal

At this point there's no proof, and detractors will be quick to pick up on any flaws, but, ultimately, thinking outside of the box will be how science finds her way forward.

Nassim's track may, and especially if Bob is correct, lead him to a dead end, but Nassim will continue, right or wrong, to explore the possibilities, that's how Nassim's mind works.

Now, getting back on topic (deplorable), it's been said that Nassim is a fraud. Nassim has been likened to an insurance salesperson who takes people's money and doesn't deliver when the chips are down. Now, that's deplorable. That's just plain cheating.

However, Nassim, assuming he makes much of a living out of what he does, would find it difficult to get funding for his research considering that there's not much in the way of commercial possibilities from his research in the short run. And no, I personally think that he's not looking for free energy to continue the capitalistic consumer society, as some may do.

Looking for Money

If all Nassim wanted was fame and fortune, I think that given his intelligence, he'd find easier ways of making a quid than quantum physics research. Reading Napoleon Hill or even Seth Godin will yeild much faster, sustainable results than research.

I think that Nassim IS looking for money, but only to fund his research. It appears to be his passion.

Not a Zero Sum Game

And if anyone get's cheated it's probably a minor thing. I mean, the kind of people who follow Nassim are often the new age alternate society "freaks" who probably don't really care about money as much as the fact that Nassim can speak freely and continue his research, no loss there.

I, personally think that if I had a mind full of ideas like Nassim has I'd probably just ignore criticism as being too time and energy consuming and of little consequence. Criticism may well be as bad as the crime itself, the Srimad Bhagavatam states that in the first Canto.

So, is Nassam Haramein a fraud? Hard to tell. Whilst I'm not sure of his qualifications, the qualifications of his research associates look pretty good to me. Bob says yes, he is a fraud. I wouldn't know, nor is it my place to consider. I'll leave that judge and jury stuff up to God and let Him decide and reward or punish as only He knows how.

Meanwhile. Right or wrong, Nassim Haramein does say some fascinating things and he thinks some fascinating thoughts.

Feast or Famine

Feeding the Multitudes

IMHO it's better to provide a big feast for all of your good friends rather than to try to give half a mouthful to the entire city, simply because there isn't enough to go round.

At least your friends get to enjoy a really good feast and the rest of the population will probably never be aware that it even happened, so they won't feel left out. Of course, if everyone contributed to a huge communal feast, then everyone would be included. Naturally.

The Economics of Reality

This brings me to the world of theory. Economics shows us how to successfully compete, one business against another or one country against another. Actually a country is merely another business competing with other countries (businesses). When you think about it individuals are businesses too. Don't agree? That's your business.

In my mind, I tend to think that this is the most UNECONOMIC use of economic theory. Wouldn't it be more efficient if all countries/businesses cooperated to make sure that everyone was well situated?

According to the above statement, if I had more than you, it would make sense to ensure that I share the difference with you, unless of course, you have no use for it, that's another matter, or you were going to waste it on drugs and alcohol, etc.

So here we see that if one has more than required then we should contribute to the common good so that it's a win win situation. Nevertheless, many persons would merely waste their windfall and so it's best to give it to the person who can utilise it in the most sensible manner.

Only those who are 100% devoted servants of God have any idea of the actual nature of the common good. So, there you are, give all your excess funds (above and beyond what you actually need to survive without stress) to the pure devotee of the Lord and Bob's yer uncle.

Who's Bob? That's a good question. I'm thinking of asking him myself.

How to Become a Worm in Stool

The important thing about becoming a worm in stool is the process. By being mean of spirit and seeing only filthy things, like people who criticize others, one gains the ability to become attracted to the worm environment.

Thus if we lie, cheat, steal, publicly glorify ourselves whilst belittling others, etc, and, actively seeking every opportunity, criticize whenever the opportunity presents itself (like all the time you idiot), one's chances of becoming a worm in stool are greatly enhanced and quick success is assured.

Editor's note: to become a great soul, simply reverse the above process. Living in a positive world begins by getting rid of your negative outlook.
