Is Calculus A Cult?

Calculus [1] is advanced mathematics that only a few people truly understand. Just because we don't understand calculus, doesn't mean it's a cult. There are some people who truly understand calculus and to them it's something they really KNOW. 

Let's say I met a mathematician and we started talking about calculus. Let's say I didn't know the depth of his knowledge, and in my limited understanding I said that calculus was nonsense. My words wouldn't be a reflection on calculus, rather, they'd be a reflection on me. The mathematician may remain silent on the matter, but I'd have revealed myself to him, and he'd know that I don't know.

The Wisdom of Kabbalah (The Science of Kabbalah) [2] is the science of our connection with God. Just because we don't understand Kabbalah, doesn't mean it's a cult. There are some people who truly understand Kabbalah and to them it's something they really KNOW.

Let's say I met a Kabbalist and we started talking about God. Let's say I didn't know the depth of her knowledge, and in my limited understanding I said that Kabbalah was nonsense. My words wouldn't be a reflection on Kabbalah, rather, they'd be a reflection on me. The Kabbalist may remain silent on the matter, but I'd have revealed myself to her, and she'd know that I don't know.

There are many different kinds of people with many different kinds of abilities - some people can paint and draw and create artistic pieces, others can read music and play musical instruments, some people can sing, others are good with numbers, some are good with minute details, some people are great organizers, others are good with animals, some people are great chefs etc. Our God-given traits are varied and unique. Just because we don't understand each other, doesn't mean the other person is wrong. It simply means we're different and we're meant to play different roles.

We're all one family and soon we'll connect into ONE, then the purpose of our varied traits will be revealed. We'll see how we're all different, how we all have different roles to play, and how, even though we're different, we're all equal.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Daniel Pierce - Love Trumps Science And Religion

Edited Sept 8, 2014.

Daniel Pierce, a 19 Year old from Kennesaw, Georgia, USA, was disowned by his parents for being gay [1]. He initially told his family that he was gay in October 2013, but months later, on August 26, 2014, he came home from work to a delayed 'pray the gay away' [2] intervention that didn't go well.

WARNING: This YouTube video [3] contains graphic language and scenes of a violent nature. Viewer discretion is advised.

Here are my notes:

1. Love Transcends Science and Religion:
• Science isn't the answer and religion isn't the answer.
• Connection is the answer. We have to connect with each other in mutual bestowal where we all seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
2. Selfishness:
• Today, we're all immersed in selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others.
• A statement such as "I will not let people believe that I condone what you do" is about seeking to benefit oneself instead of others.
3. Parents Should Be Role Models:
• Parents have a big influence on their children and children pick up things that their parents say and do. Children learn from their parents' behaviour.
• Parents who disown their children - are they teaching their children that it's okay for parents to disown their children? Around the world, parents disown their children for many reasons - for being homosexual, for dishonoring the family, for marrying for love, for becoming Christians etc.
• Daniel's family is Christian. Would they be upset if they found out that another family had disowned their child for becoming a Christian?
• Daniel isn't perfect, no one is. Our social environment has a big influence on us. Has Daniel picked up his defensive behaviour from his family?
• Are Daniel's parents afraid that people might blame them? That people may think it's their fault?

We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal. We have to rise above our egos, stop harming others, then seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Remember, there is none else besides Him. Nothing bad has ever happened to us or to anybody else. We're surrounded by love, we just have to realize it. This may seem hard to believe given the graphic nature of this video. However, it's simply a matter of perception.

This doesn't mean that people have free license to do whatever they want. Not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Forget about everything else and just love. Love is when you seek to benefit others instead of yourself.

Science Is Trying To Discover The Creator

Today we're immersed in selfishness, which means we're disconnected from God because our qualities are opposite to God's quality. God is benevolent.

Science is today's way of trying to discover The Creator. Science is looking to discover the secrets of nature. However, because we're immersed in selfishness, everything we discover in science, comes from the quality of selfishness. The way we discover it, is how we use it. We discover it in selfishness and we use it in selfishness.

The very fact that some people bow down to science is indicative of our limited understanding.

A huge discovery is when a person despairs and gives up on their own strength, including their own intellectual powers.

We cannot discover God through science. We can only discover God through connection. From the love of friends, we come to the love of God.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Science And The Truth

Updated Aug 14, 2014.

Why is science hailed as the pinnacle of all knowledge and wisdom when science doesn't have all the answers? Science is simply trying to reverse engineer what God created.

Science operates on a hypothesis [1], a best guess about how things work, then the objective is to prove that the hypothesis is true. (Sometimes the hypothesis is disproved.) The Truth doesn't operate on a hypothesis. The Truth is simply The Truth.

New scientific theories debunk older scientific theories. We know things to be 'true', until new information comes along, debunks the old 'truth' and replaces it with a new 'truth'. For example:

1. There was a time when we thought the earth was flat [2], then we discovered that it's round [3].
2. There was a time when we thought the universe revolved around the earth [4], then we discovered that our solar system revolves around the sun [5].

There are many unanswered questions in science - the gap that exists between the big (Einstein's General Theory of Relativity) and the small (quantum mechanics), what happened at the big bang [6] etc.

Despite all the uncertainty, we tend to believe science blindly, even if we know that today's 'truth' may be debunked by tomorrow's 'truth'. This blind belief in science is almost like a religion.

Yet, when I write about God, the integral laws of Nature, going through a change in the perception of my reality, experiencing phenomenon connected with the quality of bestowal - it's a psychotic episode, an overactive imagination, or demon possession. Basically, it's anything but believable. I'm quickly dismissed. Is The Truth really that hard to believe?

Some people are willing to believe new theories in science, yet they're unwilling to believe new information about God. Some people want God to fit nicely into their current religious beliefs, others don't believe in God at all. Yet we know that religion in and of itself isn't the answer because even religious people remain empty and unfulfilled.

It's one thing to say that you don't understand what I'm talking about. It's another thing to say that I'm wrong. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, you simply don't understand what I'm talking about. It doesn't mean I'm wrong. I write about The Truth and The Truth transcends science and religion.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

Understanding Infinity

Edited:  Jan 17, 2025

New information has come to light which will transform this explanation.

This post may be changed, updated or deleted.

WORK IN PROGRESS:
This post is a work in progress and is subject to changes, revisions, edits and deletions. I've presented it here to give you an idea of a general concept; however, I'm not sure I've done a very good job explaining it. Please bear with me as I continue to work through this.

Infinity is about connection:

1. We start off with a single point
2. Points connect to form lines
3. Lines connect to form 2-D planes
4. 2-D planes connect to form 3-D objects such as a person
5. A person connects through various points in time to create an individual timeline
6. A person connects through infinite timelines
7. All people and all things connect through infinite timelines
8. Our universe connects with another universe through a singular connection
9. Our universe connects with another universe through infinite connections
10. All universes connect with each other through infinite connections
11. Our creation connects with another creation through a singular connection
12. Our creation connects with another creation through infinite connections, and
13. All creations connect with each other through infinite connections.

Infinity can be expressed through fractals [1]. Note that the scale grows exponentially with each new dimension.

Is Teleportation Possible?

Teleportation is a staple of science fiction, but can it actually happen? Can we tap into some phenomenon in nature that will allow us to teleport at will?

We already have television, we can see through space and time. But what about teleportation, can we move through space and time?

Teleportation appears to be mentioned in The Bible and The Quran. For example:

1. Philip was teleported after he baptized the Ethiopian  (Acts 8:26-40, NIV)
2. Jesus appeared to his disciples, excluding Thomas (John 20:19-20, NIV)
3. Jesus appeared to his disciples, including Thomas (John 20:26-27, NIV)
4. The Prophet Muhammad teleported from one mosque to another (Quran 17:1, Sahih)

I think I've experienced some teleportation phenomenon myself:

1. On a flight back from Israel, what should have been a 9 hour flight, felt like a 3 hour flight. We moved through space and time.
2. On a ferry ride one day, a ride that should have lasted over an hour, felt like only half an hour. Again, we moved through space and time.
3. I was at an event one time and when I got there, there were only a few people. Just before the event started, about 100 people showed up. Where did they all come from? Did they all teleport there? Materialize out of thin air? Sometimes it seems as though everyone around me is teleporting, I'm the only one who isn't. This makes me feel left out.

And then, there's time itself:

1. Sometimes it feels as though time slows down. You check the clock and it's 3:30pm, and what feels like an hour later, you check it again and it's only 3:31pm.
2. Sometimes it feels as though time speeds up. You check the clock and it's 3:30pm, and what feels like 5 minute later, you check it again and it's 5:00pm.

Is there something we're missing? Some phenomenon just outside our grasp? An understanding of space and time known only to Time Lord  Doctor Who? How can we be a part of this action?

Is teleportation possible?
