   Obbe Alan What? [annoy my right-angled speediness]
   Because people are animals. Why do animals kill each other? Because they are driven to, by forces beyond their control.

   That's what the silicon is for. Let's see some examples of girls you think are average or above average. Wouldn't the hottest woman in the world become even hotter with some silicon enhancements? What's wrong with obscene asses?

   It is just because this thesis is based on common experience that you can satisfy yourself of its truth. If you do not agree with me after checking my observations and facts against your own, tell me about it. You may be right; we may both be right from our respective points of view and frames of reference. If you find me mistaken, this thread will have served a worthwhile purpose as an object lesson illustrating the ways that observations are susceptible to misperceptions, common facts are liable to be mistaken, and common sense can lead to common delusion. You need only look at the continual revisions of established scientific facts to see that the most highly qualified experts are just as subject to changing views as the rest of us --- which is why they should not be believed with less question than you are expected to direct at this thread. The best advice your medical doctor will ever give you is "seek a second opinion"; the advice is just as wise when you attend doctors of philosophy.

   This is not a scholarly thesis; it is not the product of laboratory experiments, abstruse calculations, nor of library research. Everything you will read in this thread is derived from observation of everyday, ordinary life. I shall introduce cardinal cases with commonplace observations or some commonplace facts and see what comes by way of some commonplace logic. As you follow my line of reason, you will see that your common sense leads to insights that are ignored and denied by authorized versions of truth. Now, what do you do? Do you deny your own senses and let authorities tell you what your life is all about, or do you decide for yourself the basis of your facts and take responsibility for making up your own mind? Professional authorities are convinced that the public is too stupid and ignorant to understand science, health, religion, and politics, not to mention teaching your children. The authorities have always condemned the Socratic dialogue as a corruption of youth. You won't think you are so stupid and ignorant by the time you finish reading this thread.

   YOU will find nothing of theoretical importance in this thread that you don't already know; all you will find in this thread is innumerable different views of what you already know and believe in different contexts. Since the TAO of "phasics" turns everything into its opposite, you will find that everything you believe is self-contradictory; nevertheless, PLUS CA CHANGE and all that. How much of this thread you will understand and believe depends entirely on your ability to maintain mental focus on the structural points of the subject so that you can hold its identity as I change the perspective. By the time you finish this thread, you will realize that the entire universe is your own self, turned around every which way and inside out.

   ZEN defies comprehension by Europeans for reasons similar to the incomprehensibility of mathematics by broadly focussed minds. It is simply impossible to describe the essentially hard-headed precision of ZEN practise by soft-headed language, and it is just the softest of American heads that are attracted to ZEN as an escape from responsibility, rather than for love of order. Like a symphony and a cathedral, ZEN is pure mathematics with out words. ZEN is the essence of art.

   All those posing unanswerable questions, or declaring that their questions can't be answered are not in the business of creating science, nor do they have any intention of informing the public; their real purpose is obscuring knowledge and confusing you in order that they may gain and hold their advantage over you. Rhetorical questions take many forms, and none are so beguiling as the scientific poser. Rhetoric manipulates automatic psychological reflexes so as to make the audience believe that the authority who cannot answer his own questions knows something that his audience doesn't know. The only thing he knows that you don't know is how to get well paid for knowing nothing you don't know --- and telling you to your face.

   ZEN Masters are fond of answering disciples asking for wisdom by a question called a KOAN. KOANs are believed to be nonsense intended to confuse one's mind until a critical tension precipitates a mystical insight. KOANs are not nonsense; they are a special kind of question to which you already know the answer, but you don't want to know you know because such knowledge is self-knowledge; the most heinous crime of this civilization is to be caught in possession of self-knowledge. Self-knowledge, you see, is the special kind of knowledge that releases a person from the KARMIC wheel of life and the rule of Satan, however you conceive your devil. As soon as you answer the KOAN, you are expelled from Plato's cave, and the game of darkness is over. The Laughing Buddha in the heart of your personal Lotus Blossum isn't ready to cash your chips because of Enlightenment until damn good and ready. The mental crisis of the KOAN is resolved by formulating a plausible answer that satisfies the curiosity without actually taking the terminal gaze into the brilliant Face of God. Psychoanalysts get plausible answers from all their patients; the trouble with psychoanalysis is that the entire science is nothing but a plausible answer to estop its advertised purpose of self- discovery.

   The sage says, "Seek and ye will find. Ask and it will be answered unto you." Scientists are fond of saying that their business is discovering the right questions to ask. If scientists weren't so cocksure that they knew everything there is to know about their business, any lawyer could tell them how to discover the right questions. The correct question is the question to which you already know the answer. If you don't have an immediate answer, you must know where to find it. No other questions are of any use in the enterprise of deducing Nature's secrets.

    AS modern physics becomes mystical, "the ZEN of science" has become a parlour cliche among the scientifically literate. ZEN Masters penetrate the Veils of Maja cast by verbal logic to apprehend reality by direct experience. Since they eschew words, ZEN Masters write no books and preach no sermons. ZEN disparages texts because no mathematical terminology existed in its high and far-off times when the YOGAs were developed empirically. Nevertheless the Masters knew a mathematical language, and they used it to express their knowledge of hyperspace. They composed their KATAs as mathematical equations in the languages of art, music, chanting, dancing, theatre, graphics, and architecture. The arts inspired with ZEN are exquisitely measured. The Hyperspace Trilogy is a Rosetta Stone translating the language of the ZEN arts into the language of modern science. This thread could be called The Physics of TAO.

    The sound of one hand clapping
    is the echo
    of your own praise
    for your own beliefs
    reflected from the wall
    of an indifferent world,
    and heard only by yourself

    The automobile is actually a mathematical idea expressed in a material form, like an idol, that enables us to use the power of gasoline for propulsion. No other idol possesses its devotees so compellingly as the automobile, nor does any other god demand such human sacrifice, not even Ares; the apple of our modern Eden is a red sports car.

    A trajectory is a mathematical and physical reality that lacks tangible substance, confounding all scientific philosophers. A trajectory is a commonplace example of a pure, objective thought form. A compound vortex is an infinite trajectory compressed in time until its entire extension can be comprehended within a single view.

    The highest energies are manifest in the power of pure thought, which mortals call God. Words are the coins of thought, like money is minted power. It is the extraspacial power of the human God expressed through the words of men that vouchsafes our articulate species dominion over all the dumb beasts of the field, and word power is the very Divine soul deficient in all other planetary life. The extraspacial power of God expressed through the word is attested in John 1:1, IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD. Parsing the language of hyperspace reveals the very diction, syntax, and grammar of Creation, Itself.

    The difference between science and religion is the difference between the quantified equations of mathematics and the unquantified equations of metaphore. Those who cannot focus their mental scope with sufficient precision to count must guesstimate relationships by comparing superficial attributes to derive meanings from their experiences. The errors of both science and religion are produced by logical deductions made from inherently faulty language, but the errors cannot be perceived by people who mistake their words for real things and their language for a real map. Philosophic disputes are word wars; those who live by their words also die by their words.

    Artists, scientists, and mystics who glimpse spirits dimly through the Veils of Maja limn a projection of the eternal entities into the human dimensions of literature, theatre, music, dance, architecture, engineering, philosophy, mathematics, justice, politics, morality --- in a word, culture. Like pictorial art, all cultural artifacts compress hyperspacial structures into fewer dimensions so that ideas are represented in more or less tangible forms. The form is the specialized language of its poet and the meaning of the form is the essence of the myth.

    Scientific knowledge is nothing but verbal knowledge, and knowledge is the key to power; humanity is ruled by words. The physical and mathematical principles that explain the material world of three dimensions also control the manifestations of hyperspacial energies; e.g., e=mc^2 opens the way to the high- dimensional energies of the atom. Furthermore, the very forms in which higher-dimensional energies are represented serve as a handle for wielding the power. This is what magic, idols, charms, amulets, spells, incantations, hexes, and prayers are all about.

    Hyperspacial objects can show us the way
    
    But Little Space Niggers will be left as their minds fray
    
    They don't understand the Tao of the Here and the Now
    
    So they are stuck, doomed, dumb and gay

    Obbe Alan What? [annoy my right-angled speediness]
    Depends on many factors. How long has it been since you smoked before this gram? How fat are you? How much water do you drink? How accurate is the test? I've heard of people passing after a week of not smoking but they diluted their possible and took vitamins and creatine to make up the difference. Also heard of people failing very accurate drug tests after not smoking for a month.
