Questions
& Answers
Story: Forever
is a long time. As such, there is no
doubt in my mind that any question asked by mankind can be answered using our
vocabulary, mathematical systems, symbols, and musical notes combined
collectively or in a fragmented format. Fragmentation
being the same answer in a different order from the answer, formatted in a way
that is familiar to the receiver; therefore, recognizable and distinguishable
from all other answers. Many who do
not recognize an answer frown on the speaker for not taking the time to find out
who they are speaking to, as such, did not become familiar with a receivers
limitations or eccentricities before speaking. It’s human nature.
An argument could be made for the receiver of a conversation not knowing
the eccentricities and/or limitations of the person addressing them.
Degrees of fragmentation totally depend on an individual’s
comprehension of symbols, inclusive of all non verbal communication symbols,
I.e. a familiarity with those aforementioned eccentricities.
Point being, regardless of order, our vocabulary and associated
communication devices simply need to be assembled in the correct grouping and
order for a particular group of humans to ‘winkle out’ the elusive answers
to simple or complex questions of a given period in our evolution.
The answers to any question we may ask, are there for the taking. They
simply need to be arranged in an order we recognize and associate with a
particular question. Confusion arises when one or more humans or creatures on
the receiving end of communication do not recognize the speakers’ order of
symbols and or mannerisms. Answers
to mankind's global questions are in front of us every day; we simply do not see
them in a particular time frame because at any given moment the order and
assembly of communication symbols being ‘seen’ by our eyes and being
deciphered by our brain, or arriving in the form of distant sounds are not
answering the particular question we are presently consumed with asking.
Think for a moment if you will; why would we recognize the answer to a
question that hasn’t been asked? Would
we see and decipher or glean the answer to a question that has not been asked
from a grouping of symbols? Simply
said, all answers have already been given. They
are in the dictionaries and encyclopedias, we just can’t see them because they
are not written down in a logical (recognizable) order or format to answer the
immediate question! We don’t
recognize the answer because we don’t know the question associated with it
yet. We must concentrate on the
cipher. We must put our communication symbols in multiple orders and disciplines
and glean every tidbit of information from a particular grouping before moving
on to the next question. Most often
for simple questions, the particular question or problem which needs solving has
already been asked and answered. Like a word puzzle, where complete words are
hidden amongst hundreds of seemingly meaningless letters, we must ask questions
before the puzzle will make any sense to the commoner.
Many times, and not until we find out what the ‘subject’ of the
puzzle is do we clearly see the answers. We don’t recognize the answer because
of the physical order of words, symbols, etc., until we know the cipher.
How many different languages could you ask the same question?
If you don’t speak that language, you will never see nor understand the
answer even if it is right in front of you.
Even if someone is standing inches from your face and screaming sounds
and syllables so loud, so fast, the spit from their lips strike your forehead,
you will not understand a word unless you have the cipher!
Far be it from me to threaten; but what if that person is saying “you
are standing on my toe, get off before I blow your head off!”
We need to know all ciphers. Everyone
and thing has some form of evolutionary or geographical dyslexia.
It is inherent simply by virtue of our differing tribes and geographical
locations. Every question needs the
corresponding cipher and state of mind. The
Spanish language uses volume adjustment in conjunction with many words and
phases; know the question and miss interpret the volume, and it could get ugly.
Not an oddity needing treatment; instead, accepting the possibility that
through knowledge, understanding and mental experimentation there are more ways
to decipher script and alternate forms of communication than many consider
normal thought processes. Without a
second thought we mentally arrange text, symbols, mathematical systems,
pictures, musical notes, scents, visions, etc., until they “fit” the way we
interpret, decipher, listen, and read. We
instinctively go through this process until the order or combined orders and
groupings of our communication tools answer a particular question. We
‘massage’ answers and questions to adjust for irregularities and/or
variations in what we hear and what we ask.
Why do you think we are sent to school? The same questions have been
asked for hundreds of years; the same answers given.
Society wants us to arrive at ‘their’ answer! Why is a student
chastised for arriving at an alternate answer?
You will fail if 2 + 2 is not 4. 2
+ 2 is also 3 + 1 or 4 + 0 or 1,222,999.000 —1,222,995.000! Exercise: try to
fit a known answer to an elusive question, instead of fitting a question to the
elusive answer? Example:
“blue”. Consider it, how
many questions would the answer “blue” fit/answer?
Answer #1: “what color are
his eyes? “blue”, #2-What color
are
Levis
?
“blue”, #3-what color is the ocean in
Hawaii
?
“blue”, and the list goes on! An astronomical number of routes and
combinations of symbols to arrive at the word/answer ’blue’ is available.
Exercise: Look for random
word groupings and see how many questions they answer:
Fill a hat with words written on small pieces of paper.
Pull the pieces blindly from the hat and line them up in the order they
came out. When lined up, does this
arrangement or grouping of random communication ’words’ “answer” any
questions you can think of? Can you
think of any matches for the grouping? Do
any of the words either alone or in combination answer any question you can
think of? Now remove one, then another, and so forth; until you cannot ask
anymore questions of the words left in front of you. Now, go back and count how
many questions you answered with the same answers you pulled from the hat. Most
often when we speak or write we arrange symbols/words/notes/pictures to
“say” what we want them to say, what we want the collection of symbols to
convey to someone else! I am not
writing these pages so I can understand what I am thinking.
I am writing these pages this way because I do not know what you are
thinking! I am trying to be as simplistic as I can and yet tell a story or
interest. An obvious sign to you at
this point, is that I put a ‘comma’ in a sentence every time I take a
breath; frankly, I could care less if you like it, do you understand what I am
saying? If the answer is yes, I have
chosen the right arrangement and combination for you. If not, please put the
book back where you found it. We as
authors already know the answers and subject. Most often while we are talking to
you, the thoughts and sentences in our minds are a jumble of electrical signals
lacking any semblance to visual communication symbols. I do not ’see’ the
sentence I am typing before I type it unless I condition my self to close my
eyes and display my thought process on that wonderful screen your dreams use to
communicate with you, and only you . If I were to say to you ‘how are you
today?’ you most likely would give me an answer, fine, not well, etc.
If I said ‘today you are how?’ the question uses identical symbols
and requires the same response from you; however, the order is different.
Most people would ‘see’ the obvious answer while deciphering the
jumbled sentence. Keep in mind, the
only reason the second sentence seems jumbled is we were trained as students to
‘see’ it and speak it using the arrangement our tutors forced upon us to
garner a passing grade. The same way
they too were coerced and bribed into submission and linguistic obedience by
their peers. They needed a passing
grade, teachers needed a quota. During
our adolescence we were trained to only see questions and answers as our
teachers taught us or as authors have taught us.
We are products of our environments, including our unique minds. From the
beginning to this juncture in our existence, no two minds have ever, nor will
ever be identical in structure nor thought processes.
For a moment consider your existence, and think for a moment there are
two of you. There is the listener
and you the teller with respect to your mind.
It has been proven scientifically that your mind is always thinking,
working equations, multitasking, and other various tasks it has given
itself simultaneously while you are awake, and also while you are sleeping. An
individual does not know what their mind has been doing without
them, in the background as it were. Your
mind never stops processing information.
Even while you are in deep sleep, your mind is thinking and working without you. That is,
other than the obvious input from what we have labeled ’senses’ (smell,
hearing, touch, etc.), that which you are keenly aware.
Therefore, it is my contention, altered communication states can exist
simultaneously, and do. Doesn’t the same previously stated example test
question exist in two different or altered states simultaneously simply by
virtue of their varied order of symbols and their obvious existence on these
pages? How many combinations of
those four words (4 words = 3+1 words = 2 + 2 words = 60—56 words / etc.) can
be made to ask the same question? Any and all variations are altered states from
the original, yet require the same response.
Who asked the original, and how long ago did this occur is impossible to
tell. The original author of “Hi,
how are you today?” must be thousands of years old.
When he/she said it, the symbols he/she used most likely did not look
like the ones above, nor did they sound like the ones above; however, what he or
she did say in symbols others could understand and decipher at that particular
time in our evolution required the same response as today:
“I am fine, thank you”, or “what the hell business is it of
yours”, or “who told you to speak to me”, or “beat it flake”, or
“what did you call my mother?”, and the list goes on.
The author had to have known the receiver had access to the same cipher
he was using to communicate, or as you can see above, it could have gotten ugly!
As with any thought, the universe can never be the same. As an example, you are
holding matter; you picked it up from where it rested; this book.
You have altered the universe. The
article in your hand was in one state of rest; therefore, you altered the
previous state of this matter. Again, by turning the page you have altered our
universe forever! The universe will
never be the exact way it was before you changed it, never!
Even if you put this book back on the rack! Your presence on the
world and in the universe has moved air, molecules, atoms, ions, and
electrons! Simply said, you’re a very special one of a kind entity. You have
moved every atom in existence simply by the molecular thought process you used
to read this sentence! Everything is interconnected.
I call it the marble bag theory. You
cannot move one marble in a bag (the universe), without moving them all! You
cannot move one atom, electron, molecule, etc., in the universe without moving
them all. Your thought processes are
moving the molecules which create your structure, your existence!
You are powerful beyond your dreams, perhaps beyond your imagination. As
I have stated, many times a question is simply not asked the same way and
therefore reflects a different order of vocabulary, symbols, and/or mathematical
equations to answer. As such, in the
beginning, we humans possessed a simple yet powerful innate directive; survival.
The first of our kind were not taught
to survive (assuming there was no one there to teach them), this was an innate
desire; a prerequisite to longevity and life. In my opinion, this original
directive was not taught, it was inherited.
The most effective way to accomplish this directive did have to be
learned and then with communication, taught and passed on to future generations
and evolving over thousands of years. Practice makes perfect. We have learned to
protect ourselves, our friends and that which we deem valuable for one reason or
another. We have learned to ‘war.'
We have learned to produce and hone doctrines to control the masses. Instead of
compassion and kindness, man uses myth, lore, and fear to frighten and control
the weak. We may never shed the killer instinct but we must, at least, temper it
with compassion. We have felt the
harsh breath of famine as it blew across the ice fields of the north splitting
our skin only to freeze our blood on ignorance. Ours was not a blind directive.
We learned quickly. This directive gave us the ‘jump’ on the rest
vying for the earth. Not that we
possessed traits or directives they did not; but the way we deciphered the
question and problems into workable solutions was key. We asked the questions
first! We recognized the cipher and shared the answers we garnered from our
primitive communication with the multitudes. Our brethren shared our goals.
Not by chance, by communication with one another. By putting the
questions and answers in an order the majority of the masses could decipher.
We ‘tweaked’ the way we communicated so all knew the answer.
We would be extinct otherwise. We
physically ‘created’ what we needed and were lacking.
We created communication within groups/tribes.
As an example; we sought shelter or built shelters to protect ourselves
from the storms. Seems simple enough, but not if someone hadn’t ’worked’
the problem! Many creatures simply evolved physically to the extent the storms
did not hurt them physically. Woolly mammoths, long fur, thick hides, lizard
like scales. The same question was asked of them that nature asked of us.
Different creatures and interpretations of the same question equal differing
solutions and results. Those
different results to the same questions produced differing evolutionary paths.
Another example; creatures need to eat. We
ate to survive, to have fuel to burn, endurance to fight.
We killed that which we feared, and ate what we killed!
Many creatures also ate to accomplish both; however, and without giving
it a second thought, they hunted down and ate their enemies regardless of their
need for nourishment! With this
logic they would eventually have no enemies; albeit, they also would have
starved to death for
lack of food. They eventually would
have to resort to cannibalism of their species.
So, where the hell are they you say?
Same question, differing order of answers produce differing solutions and
ultimate results. Ask yourself this
question: Why would any creature
kill another? There can only be four
answers, protection, food, didn’t understand the question, didn’t understand
the answer. I believe much of our
vocabulary has evolved because we could not answer our questions with the
limited sounds and thought processes we originally possessed.
Education is the key. Without
education we could not have included the rest of the tribes in our
thought processes. We could not discuss our fears and therefore our solutions
waned. Collaboration is key to
knowledge and creative solutions in the same life time. In the beginning, the
life span of humans was too short to arrive at the correct answers or many of
the answers needed to affect global consequences amongst human beings. An agile
species with an innate directive specifying global survival and domination over
all they survey was being created through language, regardless if that language
was sound, mannerisms, speech or combination of everything.
The light went on when humans/tribes realized communication between each
other and longevity provided the answers and interpretations of communication
previously missing because of very short life spans. Simply, the more people
working the problem the shorter time span/life span needed to derive a much
sought after answer to a particular question. Without education, if we had a new
thought, who the hell would we tell if we could not communicate?
Although there were hundreds of thousands of humans sharing the earth; an
individual was intellectually alone, or worse an outcast without interaction.
There was no one to tell unless the listener also possessed that same
level of education and shared the same lessons learned in life by the story
teller. The odds of this mutual
mental ability occurring were staggering. Someone realized without communication
and education this would be a very rare occurrence. Humans needed to create
gatherings, groups, meetings, and discussion sessions. These meeting places may
not have been called “schools”; but more than one human or creature meeting
at the same time and in the same place discussing the same thought and life
processes were in a school of thought.
Just as with armies, when waging war, more soldiers, increased odds of
survival. The same with thought;
more people working the problem, more possibilities, more solutions, quality and
variety of answers from which to choose the correct solution.
Justifiably our vocabulary has grown to accommodate that same needed
growth. Keep in mind by using the
word ‘vocabulary’ I am denoting all encompassing thought.
‘Vocabulary’ includes everything; every form of stimuli, not just
speech or vocal sounds. Just to name
a few: sound, facial expressions, physical expression, hand movements, gestures,
laughing, calling, yelling, talking, etc. Unless
otherwise noted, ‘vocabulary’ includes everything, every sight, and every
sound. All mental stimuli.
As with the army, the odds of success increased tremendously with the
rise in ranks; so is it with the evolution of our vocabulary and the use and
creation of nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc. These
are the tools of mankind and all creatures.
It was assumed creatures other than man used only sounds and body
language to communicate. Or so it would appear, until a dolphin came out of the
water and looked at us while talking in his/her native tongue and some smart
person realized the dolphin was trying to communicate with us! They are trying
to communicate with a different species and we don’t have a clue as to what
they are saying! Not yet anyway.
While most animals are hell-bent on individual survival, immediate
protection (the young, eggs, etc.); we on the other hand learned early on that
numbers increase odds and odds increase survival. It appears more and more
species we share this planet with are realizing the same answer.
They have stepped up the stakes. They
are trying to communicate with humans; and with the advent of mechanical thought
(computers) we will certainly decipher their language much quicker, and in a
shorter life span. Yes, we protected
our families and young; furthermore we protected our species, our ’clan’,
our tribe. In my opinion, the human
race wins only if it includes the entire human race.
Manipulating third world countries/tribes through starvation is barbaric.
Only a fool would starve a tiger and then enter the cage.
We need all mankind looking to the future, not exhausting intellectual
resources shipping grain to under-educated, under-assisted countries in a global
effort to control the ignorant masses through disinformation, dysfunctional
programs designed not to succeed but rather
provide just enough relief, and at just enough inflated interest to
enslave those peoples needing it most to
unethical and unreasonable financial debt. Education
being more valuable than money is the key. Unfortunately
because of manipulation of species, in third world countries food has outpaced
education in value; and rightly so, survival of our species being our first
innate directive. Our innate
desire to survive dictates food and knowledge is shared equally. This is not
always so. Imagine for a
moment we have always possessed the answers to everything!
The Pharos had a vocabulary; we simply have a ‘vocabulary’
‘washed’ through thousands of years of evolution!
Consider for a moment the ‘way’ they wrote their ‘text’.
The pyramids and what is inside is a clear indication they expected
future peoples (receivers) to be able to read it. How is it, they knew what and
in what order to create their messages knowing our generations and
‘vocabularies’ would naturally be altered from theirs?
Our interpretation of what they left us to read is only what it is
because we read the clues in the most obvious order, an order we use today.
An order they must have used then. What
if they wrote their information to be interpreted as we think and speak today;
not then? What if that is not the
order of symbols they used then, but an order they theorized we would be using
now, thousands of years later? What
if all our questions are answered on the walls of pyramids and on parchments, we
simply are not reading them correctly? Is
it too far fetched to think our vocabulary has evolved to such an extent as to
falsely interpret information written thousands of years ago?
Is it possible that since ancient texts and writings were not found until
recently (in evolutionary terms) the evolution of our vocabulary may have missed
an evolutionary time period which would have altered the way in which we
interpret, read, record, and decipher that which Pharaoh has left us?
They even killed every person alive who knew what was written and sealed
them in those same tombs. Is it too
far fetched to consider, we may have blinked! Perhaps if the pyramids were
found, entered and deciphered earlier in our evolutionary cycle, our vocabulary
may have been altered and changed for ever.
The order in which we write, read, interpret facts, pictures, symbols and
music may have been in a totally different order of interpretation and
evolution. The evolution of our vocabulary has symbiotically changed when we
needed it to do so to match our mental state of mind and manipulation of logic.
Perhaps the science and interpretations of the pharos is late!
Is it possible we are using a futuristic vocabulary and order of symbols
and text to read and interpret ancient communications when the original
authors did not envision man’s evolutionary communication speed, or our
futuristic vocabulary? Then again,
perhaps our ‘vocabulary’ has stagnated? If
you really think of it, we are a long way from the pharos; yet doesn’t it seem
odd considering we are just now finding temples and shrines and entering them?
In evolutionary terms, where the hell have we been?
With all our species, dialects, and tribes; why did we take so long to
find pyramids? Even if I were
wandering aimlessly on the earth, how do you miss those massive pyramids?
How did we end up so far from them when they were supposed to be the
first, intelligent ones here? How
did we all (and I do mean ALL) end up geographically so far from the greatest
civilizations? We are still
excavating ‘ruins’ under great cities and across great plains.
Why would someone who had the powers to create anything, build great
vaults or safes with communications housed in them, only to seal them in such a
manner as to mechanically and architecturally prohibit entry from the same
society that constructed them? They even sacrificed and put to death the
construction workers! You were hunted down and put to death by massive armies
for attempting violation of these vaults of communication.
What did they know was coming that they feared would annihilate their
race? What was so powerful only a
pyramid/vault/safe of this magnitude would protect the teachings, writings, and
descriptions of life for the future to read?
Did they foresee a massively destructive environmental event? If not
environmental, could something enter the ‘vaults’ and alter the text, or did
it simply wipe life from the face of the earth and leave?
Could it be as simple as all followers perishing without their leaders?
Did the ignorant masses truly believe that without the links (pharos) to
the ‘gods’ they would surely perish? Could
their demise been as simple as mass hysteria or a tremendous mental dependency
of their leaders? As with all the
questions, all the answers are here with us.
The answers to every question humans will ever ask are still here.
We just have to slow down for a moment and start looking at the
possibilities of simultaneous answers to the same questions, both answers being
correct. The assumption there is
only one correct answer is the luxury of the wealthy, for they can make it so in
their confined, limited world. When
-in -fact the correct answer is wholly dependent on who is asking!
Many ask many answers. We
need to add to our innate directive; we need to ‘enhance’ the survival
directive. We must agree we won the
earth, for now. Our species has
survived. Remember, there is no
other species on earth that needs the human species to survive for their
own survival. We as humans think we are presently the stewards of earth.
Are we really? Or have other species simply learned to evolve around us?
Are we the ‘cancer’ they are controlling?
The protection of the earth must be added to our innate directive, for it
is us that need them in order for us
to survive. The same instinct which
led to conquest and survival must also include the survival of all species
inclusive of the earth itself. We
need to slow down, reflect, and save what is good; discard the mistakes and
retain the memories of both in high esteem.
We need to mold future generations around all which is just, and all
which is in the collective good for all mankind, inclusive of all existing species. Only
the future knows if our manipulation and obliteration of destructive species of
disease and malignant growth will be for the collective good.
Many assumed if it was here, there must have been a need or the
particular entity would not have evolved and survived evolution.
By eradicating that which we deem unhealthy for our species; are we
really saving ourselves through genetic and evolutionary species manipulation?
Is it really as simple as ‘we can’; therefore, ‘we will’? Where
is it written? Who or what gave us
the OK? Do we need the OK from
another entity other than ourselves? I didn’t get the ’Conditional Use
Permit’, did you? Do us all a favor, never stop asking questions, and never
stop looking for answers. It may be good for all of us to remember
something Carmody once said to a group of travelers warming bar seats " the
ignorant and genius both cast shadows in the glare of stage light" All the best. RJ
