The Meaning And Purpose Of Life
SUMMARY Before you sit down to truly get your mind into this theory, please be aware that this work is on-going and evolving. I am not an experienced writer and therefore accept that many will be slightly disturbed by the many errors in grammar and sentence structure. I am doing my best to correct them on the go. Please be aware that I am using the mechanics of sound (which mimics the exact behavior of a universe consisting of particle/waves) to explain existence. INTRO: MAPOL THEORY (Meaning And Purpose Of Life) Base-Line: +3-3+(+1)=c or
0.333..... Those elements are opposites such as day-night, love-hate,
life-death, positive-negative, etc.
When you cancel out the octave above its base
sound, you have the potential for an 11 dimensional universe - sounds a bit like Superstring Theory/Kaluza-Klein-Witten.
Well, perhaps not as complicated.
I suggest you go back and read it all over again if you're unsure about moving on. If you understood the crux of the above and buy it, you truly understand more about the evolution of the universe than 99% of us who are still seeking the Newtonian clockwork heavenly order.
The Conscious Universe
"....and when I sat in my bubble bath, I would imagine sitting in the ultimate realm of infusing and diffusing universes." About The Un-Beginning Of Time Life And Death During a life-time beginning at conception, we evolve physically
and mentally according to our genetic predispositions and
our social upbringing. First we are more physically dependent and later more mentally dependent on
our environment. During our earliest stages of development, needs become automatically
fulfilled. This automatic cycle ensures a solid foundation for survival in a
civilized world. Later our
emotional needs become more and more difficult to satisfy, because we are no longer
physically dependent on the womb, the breast, or the parental protectors. It is also
during this time that we learn to filter external stimuli in order to navigate through
experience wanting more than we need. Every neural connection made during learning becomes
a memory to refer to when seeking meaning and purpose
(based on experience). We are bombarded with an enormous
amount of information, but only assimilate or dissect what we want, need or can fathom
at the time at the conscious level. Consequently there is much confusion. Nevertheless, we need to make sense and
fill in the gaps as best we can. We become masters of rationalization, denial and wishful
thinking, no matter how intelligent we might think we are. And that's okay in our modern
society. As long as we haven't put our foot down in order to find the truth that is
unmistakable, we can be the stable consumer that
feeds
off the economic machine driven by the economic forces anchored in
fossil fuels (as long as they last); a quasi
animal in its own right. Our wants become more important than our needs
and we loose sight of basic needs, giving in to petty materialism
and momentary gratification and self-indulgence. Did you notice all those spirals? The book, as I mentioned above is "...in the making!" There is a wealth of important information missing. It is either being researched or undergoing editing. Please bare with me and don't hesitate to e-mail me anything that might that might be helpful. I began writing this many years ago. This version is the original collection of essays from 1991. Before you move on, visualize this: Get a compass and find North. Stand still facing North. You were, are and will continue moving 1,038 miles/hour (rotation of Earth). You are also spinning around the sun at 66,487 miles/hour. Stay still. Our solar system is is traveling away from our galactic point at 45,000 miles per hour while traveling at 500,000 miles/hour around our galactic center, which means you are traveling on a spiral (or helical) course in a direction. Have you lost your balance yet? Try drawing this movement on a piece of paper! Good luck. ...oh, yes. Perhaps I should mention that the speed of light is approximately 670,616,629 miles per hour! Consequently, many the stars you see are long gone and half are not yet visible. Mapol Theory (A collection of short essays) Point Of Entry When we are born on this planet earth, we begin with a set of social circumstances, genetic predisposition and an environment we have no control over. We are immediately dependent on our parents and our surrounding society which dictate our options. Fragmented religious, social, moral values and beliefs are impressed upon us, not to mention media bytes made up of mis- and disinformation meant to socialize us into materialistic consumers in order to feed the economic machine based on the quasi science of supply and demand or economics. Schools teach us surface knowledge and functional skills, which are mostly lost until we apply our learning in the form of work for income. We become parts of a mechanistic organism in which we are expendable. Fear of expendability rules our everyday which is why most of us almost blindly believe in religious concepts (faith). This mechanistic organism has become a self-perpetration machine with a mind of its own and it becomes unclear whether we as individuals run it or whether it runs us. Those who think they run it are of course allot better off (or so it seems). In all of this activity, the individual for the most part seems almost insignificant, as would our planet in the countless solar systems within the millions of observable galaxies in this universe. Religion helps us cling to the belief that we are important and dependent on the mercy of a deity we coin god, very much like a child’s dependency on his parents. We believe that religion transcends practical survival, because it gives most of us a higher sense of purpose, which is so important to the mental health of most individuals. In fact, the tendency toward believing in the deity is increasingly believed to be a genetic predisposition and therefore an instinct ( a resonant pattern of proteins in the "junk" part of our DNS) of sorts for humankind. As important a role religion or spiritualism plays, it seems ironic that we have broken endless ground in science and yet still cling to ancient religions writings conceived thousands of years ago. This problem becomes apparent, when we consider the cold fact that modern societies are pulling themselves into two directions from the center of religion. For one, we are making enormous strides in biochemistry and quantum physics that are prolonging and simplifying life. We are also becoming overpopulated and consequently are exhausting resources necessary for our future survival. The key in rectifying this problem is all too obvious. We must profoundly change something within ourselves. There is simply no scientific proof for the larger population that a deity exists or an afterlife in which any kind of judgment could occur, despite numerous encounters of the unknown as documented by countless individuals through near-death or out-of-body experiences. So despite our belief in gods, heaven and hell and final judgment, we are operating in a reality of disbelief or denial of these same belief systems we hold so dear. Hence the emergence of radical islam and neo-conservative-christian-extremism. If undeniable scientific proof surfaced that life after death existed, which was controlled by an all powerful creator, life as we know it would radically change for everyone on this planet. We would no longer operate in a destructive mode. Money would no longer be needed and we would all live in peace and harmony. Or would we? We would have to be given a new sense of purpose a threat: "Live peacefully or else", a whole set of rules, a new societal organization with a theological hierarchy of control (theocracy), etc. There would be little left to imagination or free will. It sounds a lot like communism, which dictates that the individual become part of the collective at which point the individual ceases to exist and we would all become one beehive. The utopian dream of heaven on earth does not seem possible at this time or any time in the near future unless our planet becomes so inhabitable that famine and war dictate a final solution for its survivors. Even then, it would only be temporary, because all the above would be in complete opposition to evolution. In ancient times we depended on nature and its moods. Today we depend on technology and science for the food and drinks on our tables, the clothes we wear, the transportation we use, our modes of communication, medicines which sustain our life, jobs we carry out in order to earn money to pay for the little time for leisure so necessary for reflecting on our sense of meaning and purpose. Nature has become reactive toward our science and technology and is forced to adjust to our unnatural influences the best it can. These influences are among others: the enormous rise in deforestation, over-cultivation, pollution, etc.. The final consequence of our applied technology and science is the depletion of the ozone layer. The overall mean temperature is rising causing enough ice to melt in the polar-regions to bring about the much dreaded green house effect by desalinating the oceans and adding more weight distributed across the thin solid crust of our planet. With more radiation penetrating our atmosphere, smaller animal species are undergoing mutations that will not allow them to survive in the future, bringing about a disruption in the global ecosystems. The excess humidity caused by the increased temperatures are radically changing our weather bringing about a complete and irreversible disruption of our ecosystem in our lifetime until an ice age attempts to reestablish equilibrium. Though we hear a lot of doomsday talk about these issues, the devastation is gradual, always giving societies time to adjust and adapt. But at what cost? If you are a materialistic person living in the upper middle to upper class, you will be looking out for your financial interests in order to live comfortable without having to worry too much about the price of milk or gasoline and also ensure a proper education for your children and perhaps a key to heaven's gate. For the rest of the population (+ 95%) life will not be so enjoyable. Not to add to the fire, but if there is such a thing as reincarnation, you're really screwed going to get screwed life after life-time. The top five percent of our population are in charge of any thing from governing to entrepreneurial investing. The rest of us are consumers without which the top 5% could not operate. The entrepreneurs or producers financially support politicians who will operate in their best interests (exporting American manufacturing abroad and the importation of cheap foreign labour---unskilled and skilled), while the consumer votes for candidates from a pool with the illusion that they will directly benefit in some way as voting population. The obvious fact is that 5% of the population are much easier to satisfy than 95% of the consumer population. The system operating here has nothing to do with religion, spirituality or morals and values, though they may seem almost driven by them. It’s simple economics, a quasi science in its own right to benefit the fittest. Thus the larger population has always been controlled by governance, entrepreneurship and religion since the dawn of modern civilization. This organic / mechanistic system has no collective purpose other than continuing from day to day without a clue save greed until our resources simply run out. There seems to be no healthy solution to the bigger problems of tomorrow at least not from the end of the greedy and corrupt powers that may be. If the America could develop the atom bomb in record-time, send men to the moon in record-time or successfully cover-up national security actions without the knowledge of its population, why can it not find and infuse the necessary ingredients to change the bigger problems of tomorrow? It simply isn’t good economics for the top 5%. This neo-conservative attitude is similar to the attitude most of us share toward death; and death is inevitable for every individual. It is the ultimate disease for which there is no cure. It does not fit into our concept of living and so we shun it at great length by putting the sick and dying into medical institutions, bury the lifeless bodies in designated places and cordon of the aged in self-contained settings and celebrate youth above all else. Youth equals potential. We do not celebrate death as a happy right of passage into heaven, nirvana or rebirth as our religions dictate we should. We mourn and cry at the loss going through miserable stages of denial until the passing days bury it all in long-term memory; otherwise stated, a collective denial based on a fear of the unknown. If we truly knew that there was something beyond death, we could look forward to it, celebrate it and perhaps deduce logically that we are alive for a reason and perhaps undergo a positive change that would affect the whole planet. Yet if we believed this blindly (without proof as in religion), we would be no better off than an extreme theocracy which is the enemy of natural evolution. Our belief system, which is dualistic in nature (good-evil) comes into play in every aspect of life. The rules, laws and morays can be traced back to religion and beyond. This dualism is a manifestation of observable opposites in nature (thanks to Zoroaster--re-inventor of Satan). The Judeo Christian faith uses the same construct, but with a different meaning. Scientific principals are literally dressed up for a whole different look. Judgment, reward and punishment are the outcome, without any understanding of the naked principals. The archetypes, as Karl Jung calls them, are deeply imbedded in the collective consciousness of modern civilization. In order to find the solution to the big problems of tomorrow one must merge logic
(science) and spiritualism by identifying similar or same elements and then reconfigure
our baseline of consciousness. This may sound difficult and perhaps almost impossible, but
I will stake very existence on the premise that it is as simple as -3 +3 = 0.
Warning All philosophy, religion and doctrines share basic elements that are invisible to the naked mind. They have been dressed up to fit the fittest and control the meek and never truly exposed as a concept that could stand on its own feet. The simplicity of the working concept sounds too good to be true, and yet it flows like a simple equation: +3 -3 = 0. The bare elements are positive, negative, zero and the continuum which as you you will soon find, is the inevitable result in the making. Activity is the interaction of these elements; a working relationship which is continuous or even eternal (unless the universe shrinks back into singularity). Its elements are void of imagination or creativity, yet unlimited in both when activity begins. On this note I invite you to explore the true meaning and purpose of life without the hoopla of scientific jargon, psycho babble and other types of abstractness. I must implore you to set aside your current beliefs and attend to this theory with a clear and open mind. You will inevitably learn that you familiar with its elements. Activity theory has been the ultimate "wake-up call" in my life and has awakened me to see through god’s eyes and grasp our meaning and purpose in the "real" world. Activity theory is ancient, modern and futuristic. Its purity will stand any test and if not at least put a wrench in our confused mind for which their can only be one cure: a logical "leap of faith", without the archetypes of religion. This book is not meant to earn money. It is not a self-help book or a new-age trip. It is not meant to cause a revolution. It is not a cult in the making. It is the outcome of my life’s exploration which I’m desperate to share. I spent my youth looking for truth. When I found it, I honestly didn’t know what to do with it. After contemplating the effects it might have after sharing it with others, I became apprehensive. I saw myself stirring up a hornets’ nest. But when I saw the world for what it was, is, and will become, I couldn’t resist. I began writing essays, drawing diagrams, working out equations. I even tried to intellectualize it, as most writers of the social sciences do. The more I glorified it, the more confusion set in. I then realized that the truth no matter what, was always simple and dressing it up would have the same effect knowledge otherwise has. It is assimilated as much as it may fit our needs and the rest is discarded. In its purist form ,activity theory is either integrated or not. I thus, leave this last choice up to you. If there was ever a holly grail to find, I know I have found it and drank from it. I have undergone a deep transformation and I am still undergoing the very process of transformation as I adapt it to the current eastern and western mind-sets.
Meta Science Let’s consider the meaning of opposites. They are distinctly different, yet part of a whole called a spectrum. Black and white, for example, are opposites in the color spectrum but necessary for humans to recognize sleep and awakeness. So despite being opposite they are intrinsically tied to our very existence. The two great known opposites in our solar system are the positive and negative forces which make up the magnetic field. Without positive or negative there can be no matter or subsequent organic life. We often see opposites as absolute. This is a fatal error in our way of thinking, because at no recognizable moment in time can a fixed value be given to an opposite. For instance, if the positive force and negative force of our planetary magnetic field were equal, we would cease to exist. The field is forever fluctuating in rhythms to allow both forces to average around zero. Though this might not seem real to you it is quite real at the quantum level of particles and waves. Thus, positive and negative average zero over any given time, negating the possibility of the absolute or perfection. When a person states that they are seeking perfection, they really mean equilibrium without understanding the problem of the absolute. They are simply put: "mistaken". When our universe began to exist there was zero. There is simply no other way to describe what can be termed non-consciousness or non-existence. When we devise a formula to describe zero we must be clear that it cannot be a void or a nothing. In simple mathematical terms we can say -3 +3 = zero. Thus the pre-universe, void of time can be understood as nothing and everything was the state of the pre-universe. Then how did the ball get rolling so to speak? It would be useful to use something in our environment that can mimic this situation. Let’s pick sound waves. If the pre-universe was zero, then it was made up two frequencies -3 and +3 or one frequency zero. A fluctuation (need) disturbed this frequency to create dissonance. You can try this anywhere with the help of some friends who can sing. When two people sing or voice the same sound it is not disturbing. But when one of these two people raises or lowers the pitch of his/her voice, dissonance occurs allowing 24 harmonies (12/12) to collide with each other. This will send your fingers to your ears to avoid the discomfort you feel. During this moment of dissonance, 22 harmonics reverberate, which themselves are distinct sounds that will interfere with each other to create new types of dissonance. A snow ball affect occurs in a space millions of times smaller than the head of a needle. The universe expands creating symmetries of harmonic frequencies which are immediately recognizable as waves and particles. Matter forms and eventually life emerges, both in unlimited evolving symmetries through time. An important realization occurs at this point. +3 -3 = zero no longer exists. As the universe begins, it expanded in a distinct direction. This direction is what we understand as outward or away form the center. This movement is what we know as time or the 4th dimension. Time could not have occurred in an outward direction unless +3 or -3 was greater than the other. In order to reduce our scientific knowledge of the universe to its bare operational elements, we can expand -3 +3 = 0 to -3 +3 (+1) {direction} = continuum/time. It must then be devided by the number of variables (3). Or: +3-3+[+1]=c The outward expansion of the universe is a given. In other words, no matter what, the universe is determined to expand in a positive direction at a constant acceleration of +.333.... Consciousness now emerges. The beginning is thus potential (+3 -3 = 0) and the fluctuation is will. Thus from the potential it willed itself into a direction of time or expansion. The question at this point is whether it willed itself into expansion, sought equilibrium or wanted to reestablish the singularity of -3 +3 = 0. All possibilities are true. In establishing any goal, it must deal in symmetries of waves and matter. Thus it learns and creates new possibilities at the micro level to get a handle on things. This first form of consciousness is understandable in mathematical terms. Until the time physical intelligent beings evolved, consciousness was very straight forward. Did it all begin once and we are the only outcome? Perhaps we are simply one intelligent species of millions in our own galaxy; some more advanced than others. Remember the example of sound. Zero was only one frequency in the unlimited spectrum of sound. There could be countless universe distant and overlapping our own universe, each occupying a unique frequency unseen by us. Of course none of these are accessible to us unless we could somehow tune into these other frequencies. Despite these mind boggling possibilities, all share the same conscious elements: to expand in a positive direction in order to achieve equilibrium through intelligent manipulation of time, space and/or matter. This positive expansion or will, is non-destructive toward its purpose and seeks equilibrium, which in turn allows time to create new possibilities. It is a strictly positive creation in progress. The universe is thus not just seeking to understand itself , but rather what it is becoming. This process seems to be never ending and this fact is hopeful for any universe. As I look at our ecosystem, I laugh with joy at the purposeful way all species seem to fit in this working and evolving planet. Each has their purpose in balancing a very delicate system Earth. It is then with great interest, that I probe into the meaning and purpose of humankind. Knowing the common elements of Mapol Theory, I can clearly see mankind’s demise, which has made him/her the enemy in his/her own world. Mankind, through the discovery of applied technology and science, has pushed consciousness in three directions. In order to capture the very reason mankind is connected to the purpose of the universe, it would be helpful to address a paradox we have constructed to confuse ourselves. I will then take you from confusion to a simple understanding based on simple principals, which will emerge as the foundation of this theory. Big Bang Love must be the metaphysical awareness of the force which bonds all particle/waves. This awareness is reached in one moment and cannot be deduced through mathematics unless we create a formula so simple, that it becomes awareness (+1) +3 -3]/ 3 = c . The outcome is time as a consequence. Thus 4 dimensions are unified. +3 -3 is a singular point, a loop or a circle. (+1) breaks it into a spiral or hellical line. 1/3 signifies 3 variables at hand. As the universe expands and matter begins to reach a highest cooling point, (+1) begins to diminish into the smallest possible fraction, reversing time. At this point matter begins collapsing into itself - back into a singularity. +3 -3 equal zero and the fraction giving way to a sudden increase in potential, then mass and the big bang occurs again (in the opposite direction). Question: Why will our universe shrink back into zero? It has to return to its source and reemerge as it
always does. There is, of course, one more ultimate question left. What caused the disturbance that brought about our evolving universe? This universe may be the consequence of millions of other universes or it may be the first. It simply makes no difference. What does make a difference is that evolution is an expanding process which escapes zero in the positive direction [(+1) +3 -3]/3 = c . Not choosing this fact is unacceptable to the reason and purpose of evolution. It is simply going against the "process" off all. Thus, god is not omnipotent and neither is it the ultimate intelligent super being. God is rather the collective consciousness of all existing intelligence, be it physical or non-physical. God’s presence is realized when a need is full-filled through out the universe. It is thus everywhere at the same time through the interconnectedness of quantum waves. Everything is the on-going process of god. The idea of omnipotence does not exist in the Mapol Theory. Next Page-go back up
