Minds Together

It is just as irrelevant which religion,

theology, spiritual or atheist idea is

used as paradigm, as long as they

provide the same predictions for

events and people’s behaviour -

 

To produce a mindset focused on

respect for self & others, for life &

possessions & integrity, & speaking

truth, words & deeds being equal -

as a result honest teamwork can 

Bring about comfort, beauty, 

   technology and progress 

Minds Together Compose A Symphony

The Universe is infinite & spacetime

is flat & curved - without offering an

Archimedes point from where to look

from outside to the universe, there is

no outside place to evaluate all from

an objective perspective - therefore

Spacetime can be curved or flat, both 

views give same experimental results

& can be used interchangeably - ‘true’ 

nature of reality’s irrelevant in physics,

there’s no need to find a final truth that 

applies equally everywhere all the time  

 

Each and every description is a song

which covers only a single aspect of this

multidimensional, pulsating, holographic

phenomenon -- in which every quantum

particle has awareness & keep choosing

existence all the time; the universe is fun

                        - ask every physicist -

 

Every theory is simultaneously true, being

determined by subjective perspective, and

every theory is fulfilled by what we do: my

theory is that life is eternal consciousness

manifesting in infinite possibilities - beyond

the grasp of any single human mind - and

 

All minds together compose a symphony

which is based on an infinitely expanding

array of themes; played on an infinite

variety of instruments which keeps

growing - for all eternity - 

Dying White Dwarfs

Physicists use poetic

language and similes

when describing their

scientific discoveries:

 

Physicists travel through

exotic labyrinths - where

spinning black holes collide

creating encoded symphonies

 

Physicists use special

instruments to decipher

these symphonies of

massive neutron stars

 

Turning into --- Dying

White Dwarfs

….……………………

The massive neutron star

turned into a dying white dwarf

which became a spinning black hole

colliding with other black holes

thus - a symphony was encoded

- - and they wanted to decode it

….……………………………..

 Based on “Black Holes And Time Warps” by the

Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics,

Walk My Path In A Responsible Way

For Terry Pratchett there were only two kinds of people

in the world - those with integrity and those without it,

regardless of their creed or religious affiliation - which

held no importance for him: you were either as strong

 

And immutable in your principles as Granny Weatherwax

and Mustrum Ridcully, or you were a traitor like Reacher

Gilt in “Going Postal” - you could be as unreformed and

wonderfully maverick a character as Moist von Lipwig in

 

The same novel, but no amount of religious faith was going

to save you from your fate, such as stealing a potato from

a professing believer - which only allowed the criminal to

return as woodworm in an old wooden desk -  you were

 

Responsible for whatever happened to you when Death

walked you into the darkness - and the integrity shown

by Terry Pratchett is a shining example to help me 

walk my path in a responsible way….

Never Have Touched With a Red-Hot Stick

Pratchett showed up the ridiculous nature of the literary

establishment by writing a bad and boring book weaving

tedious debates about atheism and colonialism aimed at

brainwashing the youth, into a story without dialogue &

character development - and amazingly enough -

 

Simply because he incorporated literary and sociological

fashionable themes into this book, it was “an Honor Book

in the 2009 Michael L Printz Award for Excellence in Young

Adult Literature” and won the “Brit Writer's Award Published

Writer of the year 2010” yet it is the kind of book -

 

Terry Pratchett, the avid young reader himself, would never

have touched with a white hot stick - he never admitted to

any deceit after publishing it, but it sure is the best satire on

literary convention of all time, I can just see Douglas Adams

laughing with glee seeing what academia tried to do with it:

 

Trying to force it on bright young kids who quickly unmasked

this attempt at propaganda - Terry enjoyed the joke without

ever saying anything and stoically accepting the Doctorates

knowing that the establishment is dishonest, self-justifying

& the book’s arguments will convince no-one of anything…

 Some reviews of “Nation” on Goodreads:

 “We had to read this book for school and it was awful. This book was extremely confusing, obviously was not proofread, had an embarrassingly large amount of typos and was tortuously BORING.

 Confusing: Throughout the book I was never sure of what was happening. When they made the huge discovery near the end of the book, it didn’t even register with me. The confusion made the book...

Boring: This is one of the top ten most boring books I have ever read. I would stare at a page for ten minutes and not understand what was going on. I have found that a book needs ACTION and DIALOGUE  to make it interesting. In this book, surprise, surprise, there was essentially NO ACTION except for two parts of about five pages each. And until about 1/3 of the way through the book, there was no dialogue. I was bored for a large percentage of the book. My peers all agreed with me that it was INCREDIBLY BORING. I cannot stress enough how tedious this book was.

….………………………………………………………..

“Ugh I had to read this for class... Not good. Our class read it, hated it so much, so the teacher pulled it off the curriculum for the upcoming years. Wow.

….…………………………………………………………

 “Sadly, this story seemed to go nowhere. There was little to no character development. The same plot lines carried on for far too long with seemingly no end in sight.

….…………………………………….

 “I wanted to love this book, but I just couldn't connect with the characters. There's a saucy parrot with an extensive vocabulary of swear words thrown in for comic relief, but it's not enough. The ending is far too pragmatic to be satisfying.

….………………………………………………………..

 “Boring as hell. Most chapters feel/seem all filler. I don't enjoy any of the characters. I dislike the writing style even more than I despise the "island saved by white girl" trope.

….………………………………………………………

 “I should have known I wouldn't like it when the author misused 'literally' on the FIRST PAGE. "The cargo was flying out of the ship, literally; the cranes strained in their efforts to get the bales out as quickly as possible"?! The book had potential, but I never felt respected as a reader. Or rather, I usually don't think about it - but this book made me realize I need to be respected. For example, I was constantly reminded of why the British (shipwrecked) weren't culturally superior to the natives on the island ...and I never thought they were."

More Rain Falling Down [Rev]

The old rags with which I clean the floors and 

Tiaan his bike, are hanging on the clothesline; 

thus rain doesn’t stop as the devil is watching

and always ordering demons with glee to keep 

rain coming because he thinks I want them dry 

in the sun - but actually I want to rinse the soap:

 

Too lazy to do that myself - Beelzebub knows 

that my menfolk want to watch cricket tonight - 

so he insists on more rain falling down - to flood 

the cricket stadium nearby - while I’m overjoyed, 

for ages I've looked forward to non-stop rain and

I’m enjoying it - so if I have to leave those rags  

 

Inherited from my housekeeper on the line for a

long time to keep it raining, I shall as Beelzebub

normally orders the sun to come out after rainfall; 

but I prefer a soft rain falling for seven nights &

seven days & I shall leave the rags on the line

indefinitely - it’s fun watching them get soaked

 

Hoping they’ll even be cleaner afterwards..

Good Humour And Wonderment

Having finished reading Rob Wilkens’ Terry Pratchett

Biography - I feel that Terry was the most adorable

human being & an amalgam of ALL the Discworld

characters that make my life feel worthwhile…

 

Adam from Good Omens is exactly how I imagine a

young Terry Pratchett would have walked the streets;

the wonderful atmosphere that reigns in his books -

where D’regs killed each other cheerfully, having

 

So much more fun than other kind of people - infuses 

my world with good humour and wonderment…

Such People Can Be Trusted [Rev]

Such freedom, not having to account for my

beliefs, realising that everyone has faith in

accordance with their culture, personality

and taste & those who keep insisting on

 

Religion seldom practice what they preach,

probably due to misunderstanding or sheer

laziness, wanting to be saved from them-

selves without paying for such a desired

 

Salvation, not rejoicing or living in gratitude

& appreciation for the well-being, benefits

and opportunities life offers them, thus we

can say what we want since nobody can

 

Influence anybody: we can only respect each

other’s right to think and believe as we like &

everyone chooses a focus based on the four-

year old self, respecting everyone’s right to

 

Claim religious belief even when people show

no morality or loyalty to their Clan; including the

right to claim atheism when living in accordance

with pure moral wisdom which reveals a high

 

Level of integrity - such people can be trusted

with love, friendship and life itself…

A Glorious Day [Rev]

This has been one of the best days of my life: Benny,

our verboten cat, allowed me to stroke him, then fell

asleep next to me - an astounding feat as I’m not a

cat person, finding it onerous bonding with felines -

 

And for the first time in ages I could help a friend with

chores since she’s not allowed to bend down - I even

unscrewed her dog-gate so she can drive past with

her walker - then I watched the BBC programmes -

 

Sir David Attenborough whispering about lions & the

female lion’s motherly instinct awoke just in time to

save the runt; he, in turn, befriended a lion cub called

“Dreamer” - and then hundreds of baboons 

 

Ascended a mountain and the troop leader fought off

an assault with the help of his female baboon harem;

a pair of penguins lost one penguin baby to the enemy

yet had another one left - how brilliant is that! 

 

My favourite group of people elucidated how they survived

the Total Onslaught meant to wipe them from the face of 

the earth - this was such a glorious day - and then it also

rained to make the grass green - hooray!

Changed Again

Gratitude resets the brain, she says, personality is a focus,

choose your focus by following your feelings - I'm trying to, 

but it rather seems like a mess... 

A Love Song

Please help me put it down softly - like a child

I love, like an angel from above - a miracle is

something that happens against all probability,

against all the odds - and it kept on happening

 

In the hand of God - as one man in a tank used

guerilla tactics to stay alive; they survived through

the beauty of Love, the delight of Life, the amazing

ability to BELIEVE and see a positive outcome

 

Angels appeared, the enemy saw them draw near 

and ran away, petrified, a wonderful sight, miracles

kept happening - my Dad was run over by a mule

cart, I rode my bike in front of a speeding car, thus 

 

Everything is not as it appears, it's so much more 

than luck: the angels are with us as sent by God to

protect us - rain falling against a yellow sky as the

Davidka was fired, exploding in harmless noise -

 

A wind blowing in the desert revealing landmines

to soldiers - why not when God is in charge of the 

world and I love you - I love LOVE…

His Wand Of Love [Rev.]

Terry Pratchett touched everyone who loves fantasies

with his wand of love - his mind crystalline clear - and

pure, to come up with characters imbued with integrity

within his Diskworld - so beautiful - so organised that

 

Even assassins and thieves and ladies of negotiable

affection shine with an inner light of delight as they

stay loyal to their trade and creed - & then bringing

us a giant who thinks he’s a dwarf - symbolic of the

 

Fact that Captain Carrot’s a mentally moral giant while

being a humble Watchman - and astoundingly a true

Prince of Men and future King - - while the many and

varied Discworld gods give us chance to evaluate the

 

Merit of beliefs and see that we truly live in a world of

quantum physics where human consciousness changes

reality; where our beliefs bring about gods and religions,

and the Wizards of Unseen University shine a light on

 

The egoism and self-justification of empty academia:

thank you Terry Pratchett for manifesting a beautiful

and enchantingly symbolic world - existing through

the magic of four Indian elephants standing on the

 

Back of a great Turtle swimming through space  -

reflecting the foibles, fables and grace of our own

World back to us - in the satire sweetest of love!

Find My Path [Corrected]

Tonight I feel like a Golem again: I’m ready to

do my work as the Chem in my head dictates I 

should, thou I wish to convey my insights to a

world which manifestly doesn’t want my insights

to function wonderfully: I have a desire to lecture

 

Others about things I have learned, but it’s the

last thing people crave - everybody wants to learn

through experience - words don’t teach -  & I’ve

tried it myself - I looked at the experience of other

people to orient myself - yet - when I felt lost and

 

Destined to rot in loneliness - I did the things I’d 

already condemned: experience only teaches, now

I understand why things didn’t work work out and

the problem is they’re still not working - and it is

difficult to see where to overcome obstacles

 

So now I just carry on like a load-bearing beast and

hope that the fairy-tale dream I studied in my youth

will help me to find my path…

Discworld With Its Unseen University

I’m reading Terry Pratchett’s biography - dumbfounded

that he was awarded a literary medal* for “The Amazing

Maurice and his Educated Rodents” instead of “Johnny

and the Bomb”; confirming my suspicions that members

of such committees do not read and do not know good

writing which stimulates the imagination

 

Rob Wilkens who wrote this biography has nowhere

mentioned Terry Pratchett’s writing owes its impact to

the integrity of the main characters: Lord Vetinari and

Captain Carrot, Commander Vimes and Esmerelda

Weatherwax, Archchancellor Ridcully and Moist von

Lipwig - without their delightful integrity

 

And the wonderful otherworldliness of the Discworld

which satirises the foibles of humankind; this series

wouldn’t have been so brilliant and impressive - some

of his works like “Nation” does not appeal to me, but his

Discworld creations like the Golems and dwarfs, seem

to explain my own shortcomings so well

 

I’m reading with bated breath to see what else Rob

Wilkens found to applaud in Terry’s wonderful creation

of the Discworld with its Unseen University!
