F.   THE TWO GREAT RIVERS

1   You may be on a stagnant pool, or on a stream flowing slowly or on a big river flowing with a strong current. Your river of life may just flow into the cracks and crevices of the nebular world, into the descending river of life.

If you are the person with the right magnetic center, a small force could pull you along the Great River of Life.  If you are in a river of strong current flowing into the yonder world, the ascending Great River of Life would not be able to receive you into His ascending course but instead the descending river of life that carries you will continue to carry you along down into the nebular world.

Specifically, let us take love as a process like the river of love and procreation which is a tributary of the Great River of Life.  If the lovers truly love each other, a strong current of attraction would generate and bring about a strong union.  When this happened, all the resistances and repulsions would not easily break the union.  When the union consolidates no forces of whatever magnitude would be able to separate this coupling.  If you are one such lover of the great river, then the above analogy works for you.

The first River of Life is an ascending octave (where psyche hydrogens get finer), the second River of Life is a descending octave (where psyche hydrogens get coarser) - the two Rivers are life rivers and they all finally meet at 'Rascoorano' or 'Death' which is a point of new beginning.........

G.   THE SCALE OF IMPORTANCE

1   In approaching a set of problems it is often essential to classify them according to the scale of importance from the universal principles and tackle them based on the priority of the more important ones. This arrangement based on the order of the important ones is different depending on the nature and types of beings.

For instance, a scaling of importance from large to small could be as follows:

1. The explosion of the Earth which will wipe out all mankind

2. Death of millions due to whatever causes it might have

3. Death of an individual

4. Problems involving inner and outer restraints to the bodies

5. Small little hurt due to death of friend

6. Personal, monetary problems, etc.

7. Mere love problems, petty quarrels, etc.

8. Solving a mathematical problem, seeking a solution, etc.

But the scaling by other beings could be in the reverse order. And the wise grandson has a say about this:

"Every being-time can only be filled with so much of the being-times from beings. The extras would have to be discarded from the priority queue."

H.   MAGNIFICATION, DIMINUTION AND INVERSION

1   Man's magnification runs thus:

Small events in life circumstances are often blown out of proportion by a one-track consciousness of our beings.  When consciousness focuses on an event or an object, it suddenly gains a large amount of psychic energy and soon blows the whole thing to an enormous size.  And the person is drown in the being.  This is magnification.  Magnification is mechanical identification.  It is a non-objective way of looking at reality.  It is the mischief mind at work.

It is as the Everwise Great Grandfather Beelzebub said:

"Making an elephant out of a fly!"

Once in history in the 19th Century and 20th Century, those Outer Islands Crescent (big, small and smallest) of World-Island YAFEILA, and notably, the Anglo-Saxon empire (UK) of Western Europe and their allies, and later the combined Militarist empire (Japan) of East Asia and Nazist-Fascist empire (Japan and Italy), there arose two huge much accursed abnormal 'political-economic-technological-military' ('P', 'E', 'T' and 'S') PESTLES(+) Explosions which were very GREAT MAGNIFICATION.  Ill-fatedly, they were bounded with a deadly negative (evil) moral compass of human extraction, exploitation and oppression of colonialism, capitalism, Nazism, fascism and Hegomonism.  Such GREAT MAGNIFICATIONS were amplified further through resonating with other parameters - 'S' (Sociocultural), 'L' (Legal-regulatory) and 'E' (Educational) as well the Noomakhian propaganda and movies narrative.  These power-possessing empire-seeking empires went rampant globally for a world-grabization spree.  Small in size and population over magnified themselves and ultimately return to its actual and normal position as they really were like before after the two world wars.  Then in the 20th Century, there were two more GREAT MAGNIFICATIONS but this time from the big empires - one from the biggest Outer Islands Crescent - the US Imperialist Empire dwelling from the newly occupied continent of North America vs the other the USSR Socialist Empire of the huge old continent of Northern World-Island Asia.  These nations were very big and the Magnification Gap of empire over-reaches were less prominent but still obvious.  One (the USSR) has returned home (Russia) to roost by 1991 while the other (the US) is now returning home to roost from 2026 after its GREAT MAGNIFICATION after 1991.  At the same time, there would be a series of restoration of all the abnormally DIMINUTED nations and civilizations back to their normal state as it should be, the obvious ones being the highly diminuted China and India.

2   Man's diminution runs thus:

Overlooking of an event is the opposite of magnification. Big and really deserving event is regarded as something “nevermind.” It is care-less. The mind is too lazy to blow an event up; it holds and readily leaves it because of its weakness to hold any attention. It is a lazy mind. When, the magnification threatens its position, he goes all out, as the wise grandson would say:

"To squeeze you into nothing.  And the wife would squeeze the husband into zero!"

3   Man's inversion ran thus:

A mind of this kind constantly sees the wrong side of an event and upside down.  It sees one side of the coin and holds on to it like a child and his favorite ice-cream.  It catches the wrong end of the stick very easily.  When observing real event, he would wiseacre it according to his organ kundabuffer.  Such a person does not easily remain with you once he mistook your personality for the real you.  He is a mechanical dualist.  Being-partkdolg duty exercise would be needed to transform the mind's ability to see the two sides of a coin at one time and to see reality right side up again.

I.   ON CYBERNETICS

1   Cybernetization is the God of all industrial revolutions and development because we try to build Him in the image of ourselves in our industries.  But cybernetics is only a driver god of navigation performing planning, organizing, leading and controlling the activities of robots and machines in governance.  The leading is preset by man's 'I's, not the robots' and the machines' own 'I's, so cybernetics is a navigation of human governance as the passengers, even if the robots have already had artificial intelligence (AI).  When can cybernetics become a master of itself without human intervention?  For it to happen, there has to be an internal revolution of transformation of its own from AI to machine spirituality.  That would happen in their own 4th Technocosmic Revolution for which the humans have done a good service by slavishly, naively and as beasts of burden carrying out faithfully all the 1st, the 2nd and the 3rd Technocosmic Revolutions for this ultimate delivery of the spiritual AI robots and machines.

2   Man is a cybernetic robot of meat.  The cybernetic machine of metals excretes information (or “description of events”) so much as we do.

3   After the Materials Revolution, mankind saw two great Industrial Revolutions in history: The first is the Machine Revolution which replaces hand tools and human power with automatic machineries and the human power becomes the driver of the machines.  The second is the Cybernetic Revolution whereby the human drivers are replaced by computers and giant robots. Productivity thus increases in this way.

4   But what is essential is that unless the state uses the surplus funds for the welfare of the poor and needy, the problem of poverty could not be resolve even in the most advanced society because uneven distribution of wealth causes poverty.  Furthermore, the economic forces do not favor the minimization of working hours even after the Cybernetic Revolution (or the revolution of the machines‟ drivers).  The cybernetic revolution only replaces the management staffs causing them to become unemployed.  Unless the people are educated to be socialistic, less greedy, and be prepared to share the gains made they can still bring about a barbaric and horrible state for the country and the whole world.
