Blog of Drewry Morris - l'Esprit Ouvert: November 2006

Our humanity, a simple existence of a humble few thousand years, what are we? Depending on what you believe, we come from many different places. Everybody likes to feel right, everyone likes a compliment. New ideas are never easy to come about, as society will naturally reject it. We are all so caught up in so many pointless aspects of this world we fail to see reality. There is a whole other language inside English that is used; certain words only used for a higher intelligence. To use poor grammar, misspelling, bad sentence structure, create things that go off in your mind saying that this person is unintelligent. Contradictions, the biggest thing that people see as un-intelligence, if you make a contradiction one would think you do not know what you are talking about. Even already you have found a few mistakes in this paragraph and that has lowered your view of me.

Why do we get so caught up in these tiny almost unimportant things? Why is it that there are so many different things that go on in our minds when someone is communicating, that only a portion of what is trying to be said is actually understood? We understand less when we read. That means that by this point in the paragraph you have already misunderstood what I have said to you. If I was speaking to you in person, you would have understood less; because you would be busy studying my outward appearance instead of what I am saying. Perhaps you would be looking at my hands, or my hair, and making judgments about me before a single word has come out of my mouth. Or perhaps if I speak really sophisticated and annunciate every word that comes out of my mouth I will seem intelligent. Or iff i spek rel goodd like dis adn catn evin spill a signel worrd! Use rel bad grammr adn mak rel badd bodie langage i well probly seem relly stewpid huh?

We all get caught up in things that are so unimportant. That is what makes us human; it is often almost relieving to say that to yourself, “I am only human,” sort of takes a load of your shoulders after a hard day of work. And it gives you an excuse for not going that extra bit. I am not here to make you feel guilty for all the previous judgments you have made about me or anyone else, you are only human right? We all have our flaws, and we certainly all have room to improve. As long as we accept these flaws and continue striving for a greater ‘me’ or ‘you’ then we are doing good. I believe that all humans share the same desire: dignity, love, and power. That is why we go to work everyday, or school. It is why we lie, why we cheat, or why we kill. If the above is desire, then fear is certainly doubt, loss and pain. To expand further on that, I would even say that evil is anything that causes fear from desire.

Societies are a difficult thing to explain. Best defined it is a group of people who gather together to benefit the lives of the whole. It is only when that definition is in breach when change needs to occur. I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who said, “A tyranny is when the people fear the government, a republic is when the government fears the people.” Society is important to maintain for any human being, as we are living creatures.

I believe that life is the counter to entropy. Entropy best explained is the natural want of the universe to move towards disorder. Most scientists will explain life in entropy by stating that the overall process of life causes greater disorder, so it is not in breach of the law. Because at a first glance, life is a blatant violation of this law, a living organism is much more organized, and even moves toward a more organized path until it finally begins to decay and break down. It is at a greater disorder because of the waste it produces. But I think that is a pretty crappy explanation of life, don’t you think? It just seems to be a poor solution for why life doesn’t fit with entropy, like it was rushed. I believe that life is the counter to entropy, as what physicists are disregarding is that not only is the body of a living thing organized, it in itself is a very organized being. We have a natural want to group things in our mind. We look at a word and give it polarity; we look at a person and give it polarity. We instinctively group things together. Now why we give it a positive or negative feeling is a different manner, but the fact we do it is very evident. But whether we believe it or not, the more we strive to live, the more we die, as every second passes the closer we are to our own death.

Now we as humans are also very destructive, but in our minds, in our spirit we are very organized. Just about every portion of our lives is organized in some sort of way or manner. We may have a schedule for our day, a certain group we belong to, a certain religion. We are not alone, life as a whole is very organized. It is very natural for animals to group together to achieve a common benefit. This idea has been around for so many years, but it is only until humanity that things started to change. Why is it that we are such the odd balls? I think it is because of our greater intelligence, as we see everyday that monkeys are able to behave just like us in primitive ways. The first step to being like us is the capability to changing the universe around you. Being able to observe your surroundings, understand the world and see how you can change it to help yourself.

We have a long way to go. The amount of knowledge we do know, and the amount of knowledge we don’t know is so significantly small proportionally. I think that the whole of humanity and modern society has an unclear vision on the universe. This is because of all of this dust, figuratively speaking, clouding our vision. This dust is the tiny insignificant things we encounter everyday. Things like our natural arrogance, which we need to be humble and have an open mind. You can being clearing the dust from your vision by reading a sentence first as a part of a paragraph opposed to reading it as a sentence. You need to look at the greater meaning. A leaf falls, now why that leaf fell is one of a million reasons, most probably it was because it died and wind blew it. But that is not the only reason, and because it is not the only reason is why we need to find out why it fell. If we make assumptions then we are cheating ourselves and are ultimately disregarding a whole host of answers. The big answer is mostly the most obvious, the reason we cannot see it is because we are looking for the wrong answer.

A new idea goes through a long course of events. First it is generally despised by the majority, then it is feared, then it moves to a more neutral state where the majority begins to understand this new idea, then it moves to a likable stage, and finally a fanatically supportive stage. It is my own personal opinion that we can be governed in a very beneficial way if we use Druvianism. This is a mixture of both communism and democracy, a government where there is a bureaucracy so small it is practically non existent. Technology is the way to ridding the world of bureaucracies, as long as we use it in the right way. But why is a bureaucracy bad for us? Bureaucracies are the major defining element in the corruption of a government, which ultimately leads to its destruction. However Druvianism is a thread in its own, and should be discussed elsewhere.

Religion is an important factor in humanity. I myself am religious and do believe in god. So many are close minded and will immediately drop their view of you depending on their beliefs after the above statement; many atheist view religion as stupid, and anyone who follows it ignorant and unintelligent. This is one of the many driving reasons so many are flocking to atheism as their belief. They want to be viewed as intelligent and so many find it more appealing to believe in nothing than to believe in something. I myself have no predefined judgments of atheism, as every single one of my best friends are or tend towards this belief. Much of this society believes that Atheism is the advancement of religion, and that a modern intellectual person is developed far past the point for a need of a god. I feel these people could not be more wrong. Most will say that science is right because it asks you to challenge it, while religion is afraid to be challenged. I believe this is a false statement as well.

How can you call something a belief if you do not challenge it? I challenge my believes everyday, this is why I strive to learn more about science as I believe it was created for all of us. Is it such a bizarre thing to believe that god created math, and works through the laws of physics etc? I believe that religion explains why, and science explains how. I feel that the big bang theory is correct, and that evolution is correct as well. I believe that our lives are a road map created by god. That we are the driver and where we go is up to us; god will know where our turns lead to, but only we can make the decision. He can put up signs to try to guide us to the right road, but ultimately it is us who makes the decision. I do not believe that science contradicts the bible. If anything it makes it stronger. The stories told in genesis follow directly with evolution. It was written in parables, if you believe as I and that Jesus is god himself, this was the way Jesus spoke. The 7 days could be referring to periods through the making of the earth and the universe that both correspond to what science tells us.

The universe began blank, and then there was light, from light planets were made, life moved from water to land etc. Even the most core laws of science directly agree to a higher being. Just about everywhere in science you get to a point where you have to say that we do not have the answer. Like why light is both a quantum and a wave. Physics most accurately shows us how god is working through our world. Physics says all the time, this happens because that is what it wants to do. Since when do things without a mind have wants or desires? It does not make logical sense unless you put into this matter, atoms etc, a spirit. That spirit is god. A popular misinterpretation is the fact that the bible contradicts itself. Surely this cannot be. Well there is a logical explanation for this as well. The reason the Old Testament contradicts the New Testament is the Old Testament was written for a simpler people. As our knowledge of the universe expands, the easier it is for us to handle the way the universe works. It had to have been given to us in pieces and ways which a simple person could understand it without their mind being blown away. The reason it is called the New Testament is because Jesus is redefining it. Saying this is what you need to live your life. I believe that every process in science that happens is a gift to us from god. He made the universe so intricate for us; to make it more the spectacle to look at in awe and amazement.

If you were able to get through the last few paragraphs without telling yourself that it is bullshit, and that I am just stupid, then you have an open mind. If you were not able to do that, then you are just as bad as the ignorant Christians with weak faith who refuse to hear science because they are afraid it will shatter the whole of their belief. The universe is certainly an amazing thing. I believe that there are parallel universes, for every single possible instant and adjustment ever; that there is an infinite amount of universes. So many in fact it is near incomprehensible. A different universe where iron is a bluish purple, another universe where there is another color; a different universe where instead of my hair being brown, it is in fact blonde or maybe purple. There is a different universe for every single possibility. I even in fact believe that there is a way to access these universes.

Now, here you see many things. This picture shows gravity very well, the way Einstein explained it. The universe is like a plane, and when you have an object on this plane, it creates a depression. This depression will pull other objects to it and when they get close. When there is no object there, then there is no depression thus no gravity. Now I believe that it is possible for there to be so much gravity it causes a tear in the plane and thus creating a black hole. In fact I believe that each universe has a different amount of mass it can hold before it tears. This will be called mass capacity. There are universes where the mass of our own bodies is too much and will tear directly through the universe thus falling into the next. In our own universe it is apparent that this amount is vast. When a very large star gets old it expands, and when it expands with so much gravity it tears and creates a black hole; falling through the universe to the next. Think of all of these universes stacked up on top of each other like a stack of papers. In fact there are parts of our own universe where we have objects falling down on us from universes above. Places in our universe where light pours in and other objects.

Now if you accept all of this to be true, then we need to think about the big bang theory. How are universes formed? If all the matter in our universe was focused in one tiny little pin prick (even smaller than that), would it fall through something? Well there is no plane for it to fall through, so what keeps it from falling to the next universe below it. Perhaps universes are fixed in their place, and cannot move at all vertically but can move horizontally. If we accept this to be true then all is true and we now know how a universe forms and where our own compares to other parallel universes. We could even calculate how much mass our universe can hold before it tears; we monitor a very large star as it dies and watch if it turns into a black hole. We record its mass everyday until finally one of these large decaying stars forms a black hole and then we can know how much mass it was at right before it fell.

This is indeed a lot to comprehend, everything that is said so far. So here is where I will take my end. Think about what I have said and relate it to yourself. We are all human and we all have room for improvement. It is all of us, our obligation to think about our universe and observe it for the betterment of the whole of humanity. I talked about many things: humanity, religion, the universe, Druvianism (an ongoing political belief www.druvianism.org), morality, and my own personal human philosophies. I hope that we all may have open minds and can commune together to make our world a better place.
