But it doesn't make my hair blond or dark again because I have exchanged with you and you have dark hair or light hair. It comes out as my hair or your hair, but it is part of the chemistry hair. It is pure pattern and I can follow it through, different parts of it, with an isotope tracer. And I find how it gets in these various functions. It is a set of function patternings, so quite clearly the water wasn't you or me. In fact I get to the point where I'm can cut off my hair and my hair isn't me."

"We have total industry as a model that deals with metals and not just local vegetation from the agrarian era... but the metals were all around the world and man had to go halfway round the world-- on the average-- from where he started to find all the metals that he needed; and he took them out of the ground, from their matrix, and then he had to progressively refine them, some of it done locally but mostly moved into a place where there were great energy headquarters with energy available to separate out the ores more. He finally separated out more and more until he got to maximum separation. At this point he might then have pure metal and then he could begin to associate that metal with another metal as an alloy. As he associates more and more the parts get into a larger assembly and finally you get into the total complex of technology.

"In order to justify having gone halfway round the world and doing this enormous patterning, taking a long time doing it, he then has to find the most people in the world who are going to be benefitted by what he has done; and so he deduces that he may have to go halfway round the world again.

Because spherical sensations are produced by polyhedral arrays of interferences identified as points approximately equidistant from a point at the approximate center, and because the mass attraction or repulsive relationships of all points with all others are most economically shown by chords and not arcs, the spherical array of points is all interconnected triangularly by the family of generalized principles being operative as universe, which produces very high frequency omnitriangulated geodesic structures which are an aggregate of chords leading to all points whose angles always add up to less than 360°.

Halo Concept:

"Halo conceptioning discloses the minute yet finitely discrete inaccuracy of the fundamental assumption upon which calculus was built; to wit, that for an infinitesimal moment a line is congruent with the circle to which it is tangent and the plane is congruent with the sphere to which it is tangent. Calculus had assumed 360 degrees around every point on a sphere. The sum of a sphere's angles was said to be infinite. The halo concept and its angularly generated topology proves that there are always 720 degrees, or two times unity of 360 degrees, less than the calculus' assumption of 360 degrees times every point in every 'spherical' system. This 720 degrees equals the sum of the angles of a tetrahedron. We can state that the number of vertexes of any system (including a 'sphere,' which must, geodesically, in universal-energy conservation, by a polyhedron of n vertexes) minus two times 360 degrees equals the sum of the angles around all the vertexes of the system. Two times 360 degrees, which was the amount subtracted, equals 720 degrees, which is the angular description of the tetrahedron. We have to take angular 'tucks' in the nonconceptual finity (the calculus infinity). The 'tucks' add up to 720 degrees, i.e., one tetrahedron. The difference between conceptual de-finity and nonconceptual finity is one nonconceptual, finite tetrahedron."

"There is incontestable evidence that those who were central in the mind-over-matter emergence era comprehended the infinity of progression and glimpsed, at least, a truthful system of graphic formula. The evidence is found in the peak reached by symbology, in mathematics, words, and decoration. In particular may be cited the evidence that occurs in navigation, in which the angle <, an abstract unit of a whole, abstract because it is the space between the converging lines, is used for measure. The rounded wheel, which at first was solid and later become compression and finally tension spoked, and the 'halo' in decorative art as the unit symbol of the energy or power god radiantly expansive above man, is empirical testimony of long existing knowledge of a radiant time dimension. The wheel is centra-mechanical to time-space-relativity evolution and popularization."

"Comprehending the mass-attracted, intertensed integrity of molecules and atoms, witness how the blacksmith can heat his metals in the red-hot condition and hammer the metal into varying shapes, all permitted by the mass-interattraction of the atoms themselves and their geometrical, methodical yielding to rearrangement by forces greater than their local surroundings ment interattractions.

"The heating is done to accelerate the atoms' electrons to decrease the relative-proximity interattractiveness and accommodate the geometrical rearranging of the atoms. The cold metals, too, can be hammered, but the energy-as-heat facilitates the rearranging. When metals are reshaped, they do so only as the absolute orderly intertransformative geometry of closest packed atoms permits."

The relative interattraction increases as the second power of the rate at which the interdistances diminish.

"The atomic proximity within the metals is of such a high order as to give high tensile strength, which is resistance to being pulled or put asunder. Exquisite magnitudes of interattractive proximities have nothing to do with pressure. (The error of reflexing is here comparable to humans' misapprehending the wind's 'blowing' when we know that it cannot blow; it can only be sucked.)

Hammerthrow

← Hammerthrow | Hammerthrow (1) →

Index Entry

There are two kinds of acceleration in physics. Of all the physical Universe there are only two basic kinds. One is what is called linear acceleration and the other is angular acceleration. When you take a hold of a steel ball on a rod, we call it a hammerthrow in sports events, you start spinning it around you. That is an angular acceleration and you measure it in terms of the cycles or fractions of circles as it goes round in a circle. If you have a piece of pie, those are angular accelerations. . . .

When you let go and it goes away from you, it is now linear acceleration. All of our rockets are linear acceleration and all our firings are calculated in terms of the linear. As something goes away from you like a rocket all you can see is a little speck and then it goes away. The only way you know where it is is in terms of knowing at what angle it went off, and how fast it goes, and you can look at the clock and you find it is so many cycles of the clock and the linear accelerations are measured in increments.

Hammerthrow: (Peashooter & Deflection - 1):

"I am going to have a picture of a hammer thrower and we are going to give him a hammer and start it spinning. Before we start him spinning I am going to put a very large belt around his waist here. He is able to shove off with his feet all right and keep moving around here but his waist is so tightly held in this belt that he can't lean over and I have a great many hooks on this belt. And we give him another one. And we gradually give him one hammer after another and he gets them all accelerating and it is finally like a grass skirt with all these balls out here. He can't stop himself. The angular acceleration is very, very great like a fly wheel and the poor man will be very uncomfortable, so we put a roller bearing stand under his feet and have another roller bearing stand above it and we clamp it down on his head and his belt is so stiff that he can't bend. He can just stand on these two and he is just whirling around like a merry-go-round. We gave him so many of these hammers that they are touching one another, they are tangent to each other so in effect he has a kind of solid ring around him. He is spinning so successfully that we can forget about him and now e come to another man who has a pea shooter. He is not on the olympic team because we don't have any pea shooting but peas are nice to deal in

because you can stop them with your finger and you can't stop bullets with your fingers. He has a mouthful of peas and blows and the peas are coming out. We stand over here and we put out finger in the trajectory of the peas and we come down on it slowly and we find that if we touch the trajectory of the peas that the peas will deflect. That is fairly simple. We find that if we put our finger deeply into the trajectory they will deflect at a sharper angle. We learn that balls in linear acceleration are deflectable.

"Now we come back to this man who is spinning and he has these steel balls and he is spinning around in front of us here. As these balls are going by me, if I touch one of these balls I'm going to learn that it deflects. So I am going to put my finger out and touch the ball as it goes by and the first ball goes by and it deflects. The next ball comes by and it is deflected. They all come around quite rapidly and each get deflected. Because however these balls are not free, they are attached by wire to him, so they go down in the deflection to a circle, down here, and then they come up here and start taking a new pattern. As a result of my touching them here the plane of the wheel turns out like that. For the moment then I break the wheel by this deflection. It is quite tough on the wheel to be bent there. Half of it is deflecting out like this and the part that hasn't come to

Hammerthrow: (Peashooter & Deflection - 2):

my hand yet is horizontal and so it kind of has a bent waffle form. Finally all of them go on by and now all of them are going like this. Here they were going around like this and the one that came by me here, I turned it down like that so it starts down here so they are all doing this in respect to me. The fact is that if you touch a flywheel, like that, powerfully, you would very often explode them due to the fact that you do change these angles.

"I am going to do something to protect this whole situation. The man is still spinning but I am going to get him to start all over again and he is spinning horizontally here and before I touch it I am going to take some mylar tape which is very sticky and I am going to drape it on the balls as they go by. I keep feeding it out and it keeps going around here sticking very hard to the balls. The balls have the mylar tape sticking to the tops of them. This is the ball that I touch with my finger and it stops and deflects and goes down here and because it does there was a nurture of this one here and this will pull this one up. This is simply a see-saw. If I push this one down, this one stays at a nurture and this one goes up and because this one is coming down the tension of this one pulls this

one up to here. It can't help it and the same tension will

pull all of them upwardly.

"Now I am going to do something else. Instead of using the

cellophane tape, I am going to have the series of the balls

tangent to one another going around here. We are going to give

this hammer thrower a whole lot more balls and there will

be one lodge here and another lodge there. They keep

building up and I give him some more. They will be on

the top and on the bottom. The wheel gets to be very thick,

but this set are horizontal and due to the acceleration the

ones on the top and bottom both try to get horizontal so

they press very hard on the horizontal layer. They build up

so much friction due to the rotation that they are much

better than the cellophane tape. You know that when I touch

the wheel with this ball going by here the tension goes

back along this way and acts as a fulcrum and the whole wheel

will bend downwardly so that the wheel that was going by me

horizontally like this goes in this position. Let's get this

patterned again-- the ball is going by me here and they are

all thick now and when I touch the wheel that is going around

me like this it is deflected so it has to go in to a pattern

like that. As it went by me it went down into that pattern.

Five is more recognizable as four fingers and a thumb; or even more readily recognizable as two end fingers (the little and the index), two fingers in the middle, and one thumb. (2 + 2 + 1 = 5)."

Q.: Do you think that the vibrations of music and light can have something to do with healing? And what do you think is the significance of the points under pyramids?

RBF: "Pythagoras discovered that the points are related to halving-- fractionating the whole: that is quantum strategy. Everything should be neutral until muted. A piano, like a house, or like fog, should be neutral. I found in building that the grays of aluminum were not neutral enough. Brown Earth is what the human eye is most accustomed to; it is the best color for floors and walls. Seek first for the neutral tones, but arrange them so that the human occupant can change things.

"When my domes were first being developed Wilfred was inventing the color organ. Nature changes colors quite rapidly. We get to feel gray on a gray day. The seasons change slowly; the changes of day and night are more frequent. Colors don't change in seconds; colors tend to change in minutes or hours. But sounds change really quite rapidly, as in brooks and bird notes. The frequency of sound change is much more rapid than the frequency of color change. "While smells-- like lil@y of"

"Touch: roughness and smoothness, we're very sensitive to it, but it's difficult to say what the periodicity is.

"What we have is quite different scales of harmonics. Humans' attempts to bring light and sound harmonics together don't seem to me to be too successful. abstractly There might be some such synergetical effects of this but I have no experimental knowledge of your question. But it could be so, particularly if the subject is very musical. In ultrasonics we can use sound to destroy-- even smash a bridge.

"As for your question about pints in pyramids, in our SYNERGETICS book we describe the bouncing of energy patterns within triangles and tetrahedra. It goes out at the corners into the next triangle. The B Quanta Module is an energy loser and the A Quanta Module is an energy holder: proton and neutron. Spheres become spaces and spaces become spheres. There are a number of such interchangeabilities. Energy comes out of the B Modules"

"which makes pyramids of half-octahedra's. The B's are the heart of the octahedras. There could be some very interesting energy effects in pyramids and I think the A and B Quanta Modules provide the mathematics for it. We hear of how the safety razor blade under a pyramid becomes sharp-- everyone talks about it-- but it's really up to the young people to check these things. The Masons had the pyramid and the star that show up on our dollar bills.

"Energetic-synergetic geometry is the embracing word for it. I know that energy is precessed by geometry very powerfully. The great-circle railroad tracks of energy and the seven axes of symmetry... Note how the equator of the icosahedron never gets near to any of the vertexes and so we see how it really will hold energy. The answer to your question is: I can accredit mathematically high potentials, but I don't know anything about pyramid points or about astrology per se. It may be like the great dipper: seen from another point of view it looks quite different. The astrological patterns would look quite different of course from another planet. But the vectors operating in Universe are quite different for each birth and they might have quite a different effect on each"

"The physical Universe is an aggregate of frequencies. Each chemical element is uniquely identifiable in the electromagnetic spectrum by its special set of unique frequencies. These frequency sets interact to produce more complexly unique cycle frequencies which are unheard by human ear but which resonate as do humanly hearable musical chords or dissonances. Thus occurs a great cosmic orchestration ranging from the microcosmic nuclear--directly undetectable by the human senses--through the minuscule range detectable by humans, to the very complex macrocosmic supra-to-human-tunability symphonies of multiaggregates of galaxies."

Let us think, then, about the minutes and seconds you and I really have at our elective disposal out of every 24 hours. We all have to sleep-- about one-third of our time. A lot of our time is dedicated to just going from here to there. We don't have very much available to us for elective investment.

"Let us now assess human history and Universe in one-second heartbeats. For instance, two weeks is 1 million heartbeats. One year is only 31 million heartbeats. You enter college at 500 million heartbeats. At the prime of life, i.e., at about 32 years of age, you've had about 999 million heartbeats. So not until you start the second half of your life do you need to get into billions magnitude. Vitally speaking the, millions are large numbers. The money game of 'millions' and those who are millionaires have led us to assume that millions are inferior magnitudes leading swiftly to eccentric billionaires. If you live to full life insurance 'expectancy'-- 70 years-- you will complete only 2 billion heartbeats. If you reach 100 years, you've had only 3 billion heartbeats. Christ and mohammed both lived tens of billions of heartbeats ago. The billions magnitude does not exhaust itself rapidly.

"You may begin to realize how preposterpus it is that humanit y is spending $200 billion each year on armaments on the erroneous assumption that we cannot afford to support all humanity, when that magnitude of 200 billion, considered in your own heartbeats, takes history back to the dawning of the 8,000-"

We don't exhaust billion magnitudes until we go back historically to 30,000 years ago, about the time of the last ice age. Earlier than that, we must go for the first time into the trillion magnitudes. The earliest known skull of a human being found by the Leakey father-and-son team was in live use 2.5 million years ago, which is only 75 trillion heartbeats ago. The capital worth in tools and other resources of all the nations of the Earth in 1972 is also estimated to be 75 trillion U.S. dollars, which last year yielded the annual world income of 3.6 trillion. Heartbeat magnitudes give us an idea of the nonsense characterizing the reflexing of human brains when talking 'dollars.' When the 75 trillion worth of the world's organized wealth-regenerating capacity is just about the same number as the number of heartbeats ago of the earliest known humans on Earth- 2.5 million years ago-- it suggests that during each one-second heartbeat of that time humans were making and 'saving' 1 net." - Cite HEARTBEATS AND ILLIONS, World Mag., 13 Mar'73

These are the same eight, maximally deployed from one another, equiangular triangular hedra or facets of the vector equilibrium that converge to differential inscrutability or conceptual zero as the eight original triangular planes coalesce as the four pairs of congruent planes of the zero-volume vector equilibrium, wherein the eight exterior planes of the original eight edge-bonded tetrahedra reach zero-volume, eightfold-congruence at the center point of the four-great-circle system."

Before Heisenberg's 'indeterminism,' T.S. Eliot said 'the act of considering history alters history.

"We've discovered experimentally and Heisenberg's indeterminism makes it very clear that the act of measuring alters that which is measured. Just to single out this phenomenon enough to begin to try and isolate it would be to alter it by doing that. Just the light that comes to bear as you make a microscopic note, just the light there, changes the temperature and the behavior. You discover then that the act measurement always alters the measured. You find the poets saying earlier that the act of just consideration of history alters history. It really does say thought itself simply alters that which you think about."

"The hex-pent sphere is the polyhedron with the largest possible number of identical-length edges whose vertices also lie in a sphere of the same radius; it thus manifests a limit case vector chord system.

"In the hex-pent sphere 20 vertexial hubs convene six chords each; 60 vertices convene three chords each; and 12 vertices convene five chords each, for a total of 92 vertices.

"The hex-pent sphere exhibits an amazing property of transformability into a geodesic spiral tube. If any two polar-opposite, chord-connecting vertices are openly released, the whole spherical structure of fat-thin diamonds will stretch out to a cylinder with those poles at the opposite ends. As it transforms into a geodesic spiral tube, the 180 equal-length chord struts approach parallel bundling together. As the cylinder approaches pure parallelism of all its members, it becomes almost a tight rope.

"The sphere consists of 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons: when it transforms into the spiral geodesic tube, it has pents and 20 hexes.

"The most symmetrical tubular array occurs when the released polar pair of vertices are those occurring at the pentagon centers of the sphere.

"This spherical-to-spiral transformable structuring must be intimate to nuclear and atomic arrangement in vinyl and like plastics where the end of a very long rod of the plastic is pierced and air is blown into it between two sets of steel"

"rollers, and this bubble of air is continually rolled into the rod, stretching it into a thin transparent monomer film. The last roll through which the material passes folds together the two surfaces in a long tubular sheet. This tube is, after the last roll, slit open and the whole of it is stretched out into a longwise film and gathered into rolls. This is the way the thin plastic film such as Saran manufactured by Dow is made.

"It would seem then that this particular structure would be essential in accommodating going from a cylinder to a sphere and back to a cylinder again, which would account for how this invisible transformation occurs from a thick mass to a uniform thin film."

Hierarchy of Constellar Configurations:

"Out of cumulative patterning overlays there emerges what seem to be generalized principles apparently governing all associative and disassociative transforming and their resultant regeneratively persistent hierarchy of constellar configurations. These hierarchies of constellar configurations disclose in turn a hierarchy of dynamically symmetrical constellation phases and their respective maxima-minima, asymmetric and complementary, accommodative transformabilities which are apparently permitted within an omnirational, omni- directional, omnequi-economic, energy-accounting, coordinate system of Universe. This omnirational, arithmetical-geometrical accountability is of such sublime simplicity in contrast to the awkward 'mathematics' of all known yesterdays as to have occasioned an almost universal incredibility and nonconsider- ation of its potential significance though it has been in disclosure for one quarter of a century."

High Voltage Power Transmission:

"You can only introduce power into an area for so long before you have to feed the people and power is no good without eating. . . The most incredible thing is that in the areas where all the people are there is no power or food. . . So everything comes back to electrical power. . . Identifying the kilowatts with the internal metabolics. . . what theya are really doing is getting on to energy networks. That's where the standard of living is. . . We talk about this longer transmission of energy from here to there. To get work done. There is no way that we can get work done in quantity and speed compared to that of electrical transmission. Better than pipelines or tankers, and so forth. To get it from here to there you have to use relatively high voltage. After World War I the United States was set on a new level of high voltage for transmission and we've been operating on that . . . until we have now come to a new era realizing we could step up to a million kilowatts from 138,000. Through the past decades you could only transmit about 350 miles, which meant that you couldn't really reach the next time zone. In generating electricity whatever you generate that isn't used, is wasted."

High Voltage Power Transmission:

"If you can't anticipate your peak loads your customers will desert you, because they can't put in their own power generation. So you want to be sure to have as much as they need, so you always have to generate a little more than is actually used. That is wasted. But by integrating the living patterns of two cities you can even out the peaks and valleys-- so you always make money, and up go your profits by integrating cities. Say @ 350 miles was the limit. Suddenly we're coming into an entirely new era, and it is now actually being instituted, of being able to use a million volts which means 1500 miles. The 1500 miles means we're going to be able to integrate three time zones right across the country. The net effect is to increase deposits both in the United States government and in the private sector of about 30 percent-- a very big step-up."

RBF Definitions

. . . During all those thousands and thousands of years before our time, nature really gave man the capacity to make many, many babies. Now suddenly she doesn't need them anymore. So I'm not at all surprised to see girls dressing like boys and boys dressing like girls. I'm not at all surprised to see women getting very naked, because the more naked they are, the more they tend to discourage the sex urge. Part of the procreative urge is man's insatiable curiosity. You are covered up with skirts and man is driven by curiosity. Take away the skirts and he says to hell with it. And I find us getting enormous amounts of homosexuality, which I see as nature simply supplying a negative urge which advances our capacity not to make babies."

Playboy: "Then homosexuality would rank as something intended by evolution?"

RBF: Yes, to short circuit. Here the good-and-badding kind of idea has led us completely astray. So many things that are changing or coming to a stop tend to make people feel negative, but it is simply nature winding up certain phases quite rapidly right now."

Homosexuality

← Homosexuality | Homosexuality →

Index Entry

...As survival rate and life sustaining capability increase, fewer births are required. This may be related to our developing capacities in interchanging our physical parts, of producing mechanical organs, of having progressively fewer organisms to replenish. The drive in humanity to reproduce as prodigally as possible decreases considerably. This may be reflected in social behaviors-- when all the girls begin to look like boys and boys like girls, wear the same clothes... This may be part of a discouraging process in the idea of producing more babies.

"We shall have to stop looking askance on trends in relation to sex merely as a reproductive capability, i.e., that it is normal to make babies. Society will have to change in its assessment of what the proclivities of humanity may be. Our viewpoints on homosexuality, for example, may have to be reconsidered and more wisely adjusted."

"... local individual organisms

Consisting of a plurality of maximally complex functions

Planetarily situate as biological, self-reproducing and

regenerating entities

Some being furnished with integral brain controls,

And one special control group wired by the hot line of intuition

To universal mind's front office switchboard,

And with each individual organism

Having its own unique evolutionary life sequences

Of local self realizations

And group attainments

Gradually evolving individually

By trial and error discoveries

To final remergent synchronization with totality."

House:

"Then you find that humanity, very justly, is happy when it gets through the war and survives and has the boys back from the war. You have gone through terrible winters on the frontier and here is your little family-- you survived. That is what you care about and you rejoice and in your rejoicing you identify anything around you with the success of the survival. You say, here is this humble little house. What a wonderful little house it is! What wonderful days we have gone through in that house. So we say I love that house, and you are identifying and rejoicing in your success with the visible shelter. You now have time and it needs some new shingles, or some new boards in here and so we have a little more tools and we will carve some of these. . . We will put up new ones, and this time they will be carved to show how much we appreciate it-- let's honor it, let's decorate it. So gradually the structures became embellished. Through all the history of man this make-do form of enclosure becomes gradually embellished and develops certain logical characteristics of the kinds of materials it was fashioned from, and the kinds of time you had available, and the kinds of tools you had available."

Q. "What is the minimum system that you can describe as a human being?"

RBF: "Awareness and the phenomenon love have nothing to do with the organism they employ--which is just a confluence of 1000 (exhausted) tons of food, water, and fuel. The question tries to make the human being a system.

"Mind thoughts and concepts are systems; the human being is not a system. The thinkable is systemic and relevant, but human beings, the metaphysical capability to tune-in--loving, caring--I have no way to put that into a system. You can call the organism a system if you want to, but the internal systems of organisms are very complex."

Here are human beings on board of our planet and they do have very extraordinary capabilities.... Now, how and why would human beings have all this extraordinary capability that I found other creatures didn't have. I want to identify the difference between human beings and any other of the biological phenomena that I know. I could say that human beings are not only halfway between the biggest and the littlest; but what differentiates them from all the others is something very interesting.

"All other species than man have integral equipment fitting them for a special advantage in a special environments: the bird has wings. He can fly beautifully with his integral wings. But when he's not flying-- which is a great deal of the time-- he cannot divest himself of his wings and he's greatly encumbered by his wings in getting along in other environmental conditions. And you'll find this in each of the species. What is really unique about man is that he doesn't have this integral special equipment for special environments and has instead an enormous amount of information-gathering capability."

"I am quite confident that the biogeneticists will not be able to design a better human because we are omnidirectional and you can't improve on the middle and the more symmetrical we are, the nearer we are to the middle. So I am talking about all these aberrations: that's the trouble when you get asymmetric....

"I will explain it to you omnidirectionally. Human beings are--as far as I can find out--in the really center of things. We have in all other living organisms, having really special equipment built-in, fastened in, that gives them special advantages in special environments. But human beings are unique in that they don't have this built in, that they are in the center of things, that they have this mind which discovers principles and if they employ the principles they can fly better than the bird with his wings; they can dive deeper than the whale which was designed just for that water--who can't get along without it.

but we stay strictly in the middle here. What is unique about us is the middle. If human beings were linear or specialized, the biogeneticists could make him a little better. They could make him jump higher--but because we deal in principles and not in the actual physical equipment and are actually the center, we can't improve on the center ...and the best, most balanced, human beings are really nearest the center. That's all, they are just less asymmetrical, and these things are not built-in, they are purely of the mind." - Cite transcript p.21, RBF taped interview with Dr. Michael Bruwer, Ritz Carlton Hotel, Chicago; 20 Feb'77

What is your conception of mental health?"

RBF: "I start off with my saying that when I feel great I don't feel anything. I am astonished at how quickly one forgets it when pain is gone. There is a synergetic whole. When we say 'I feel great,' it means you feel nothing and are absolutely wide open receptively.

"As you know, I make a great differentiation between the brain and the mind. I see the brain of all creatures as always coordinating the input from Universe of the physical senses. The brain then makes a special package and remembers these special cases. Brains are always dealing in special cases. Mind is the capability of human creatures--that we don't know any other creatures to have--to make from time to time a discovery of relationships existing between special cases that are not in any one special case considered separately. This is really almost another statement of synergy, which is the behavior of wholes unpredicted by the behavior of parts. Mind can discover what those synergetic relationships are."

Human Beings & Complex Universe:

"For instance, Newton discovered the law of the mass interattraction of bodies, where, if you double the distance you reduce the attractiveness to one quarter of what it was. The interattractiveness varies as the second power of the arithmetical distances. Human mind discovers these generalized principles which are related to the fact that Universe is inherently complex. The inherent complexity is now proven in science.

"We have the clearly demonstrated proclivity of human beings throughout all history to want to find the building blocks or the key. They look for one thing as being the clue. That may be because their ego possibly wants to monopolize the one thing.

"What we have discovered is that we have fundamental complementarity as recognized by physics only in 1922. Then we get to discovering the proton and the neutron in 1928. By 1956 we have the Nobel prize given to physicists for demonstrating that complementarity is not the mirror image. We had assumed up to that time that it was actually a mirror image. It was"

called parity. Then they found that parity is not so. Then we have the proton and the neutron always and only coexisting and their masses are different; they are very close--one is interchangeable with the other, but they are different. So we are now dealing in a Universe where there is inherent complexity. Unity is plural and at minimum two. This has got to be very relevant to our mental health builders.

"If I want one word describing the experience of life, I use the word awareness: no otherness, no awareness. One of the first things a child begins to demonstrate to you is the discovery of his left hand with his right hand, the discovery of its toe, of its tongue. . . the discovery of the otherness within self and the otherness that is the motherness. So I say mental health would have to relate to the fact that there is this fundamental completertarity in Universe.

"Unity is plural and at minimum two. You probably have very bad health when you try to look out for just me--the single building block out there. That is where mental health goes bad, trying somehow to justify this self-survival business. So we have the individual looking out for self and feeling that self is Universe."

"The concept of 'Unity is plural and at minimum two' opened up the field of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics really gets down to being a fourfold affair--just like the tetrahedron. It was a recognition of the complementarity. I say I have a rubber glove on my left hand. I have only one rubber glove. It is red. I turn the rim of it down and see that it is green inside. I gradually roll it off and no longer do I have a left-hand rubber glove. Now it fits my right hand only. The left hand has disappeared. I find there is always the rest of the Universe to complement this. This happened to be tuned-in.

"If the rest of Universe is tune-in-able, but is not at the moment tuned in, we isolate the tuned-in set. . . and it is a very different way of talking about things: not just space, but actually tuning.

"I find myself operating in terms of tuning--tune-in and tune-out. That has a very great deal to do with sanity and mental health. You realize that there is the rest of the untuned-in; and each one of us tunes in little special episode programs of a great Scenario Universe, each one of which is"

"built into the big one but is not the big one. It is just a manifest of the bigger one and so we are tuning in special programs. When we get enough programs we begin to get an idea of what the whole of it is all about. You get this sense of some of that relationship: synergetics.

"Well, out of the net of all the things that I have given you, I have given you that unity is plural and at minimum two, and I am talking about relationships. . . it is that interrelationship-ship of the twoness which is what the human mind is able to go after and from time to time to discover relationships--the actual mathematics of it. Every human being has this capability potentially.

"But nature doesn't have too many of these principles to be discovered. What the little child is trying to do--immediately--is it wants to understand. It is trying to understand the relationship between the stars and the smallest things, between the macro and the micro, and the parents don't help with their continually saying 'never mind about that, just pay attention to the separate things.'

Q: "What about the emotional aspects of mental health?"

RBF: "That's the side where we have humanity. Humanity is in a Universe which is inherently complex. It does have 92 chemical elements, and not just hydrogen. Darwin came along at the time of Dalton. Dalton was a great physicist. We thought he was going to be able to make all of the chemical elements out of hydrogen, so it was logical for Darwin to think about the building block as a single cell which would get more complicated gradually, and by mathematical probability would gradually get us into something as extraordinary as human beings.

"But I know now and see now that Universe is inherently complex, that is, it does have a plurality of principles like optics, and gravity, and so forth. There is some interrelatedness of them,"

"but they are really separate principles. There really is a number one, and there is a number two. The prime numbers are unique behaviors. There is a minimum of a fourness of vertices of that insideness and outsideness in order to have a system and to have thinkability. Where there are four points there are six relationships between them. So the number six brings in the prime number three--and the prime number two is in the vertexes. Prime numbers are unique to what I call primitive experience and minimum experience.

"You can't have a system of less than four points that divide the Universe into insideness and outsideness of the system. The number four is the beginning number and not the number one. Unity is plural and at minimum two. There is a minimum of four vertexes, a minimum of six basic relationships that are the tetrahedron: the six degrees of freedom each have a positive and a negative so you have the twelve degrees of freedom right there.

This is a tremendously important sequence of events taking place. We are at the point where we have 150,000 words in the Oxford dictionary", making it clear that human beings have agreed to those 150,000 nuances of experiences that are so unique as to require their own word. That we have agreed on all that seems to me a great victory of man because it is very hard to agree on fundamentals. Here we have an enormous accomplishment and capability to interact.

"No human being would ever design themselves. I have checked this with kids in school, and have said 'If you had to go to the supermarket and pick out your own liver and your own stomach and your eyeballs, and the whole works, it would look very gooey to you. You wouldn't think of hanging them up on a skeleton; and you would have no proclivity to have a sex urge with other complexes of similar equipment.' So nature then deliberately put a single skin over this--a most economical skin and made it opaque so you couldn't see all the machinery, and made it seem like all this oneness.

"Nature gave us proclivity to reproduce--until we were sure we had enough information so that we wouldn't have to produce so many more. She wanted to be sure that we would learn about principles, as we are now, so that we can double our life expectancy, and maybe even learn how to replace all the parts--and just have a continuous human being. . . I don't know. . . a continuous human being may be coming into the picture.

"We are discovering that the human is not the organic, but that we are the metaphysical--the mind, looking at relationships which are not in or of the parts but are just relationships between the parts.

"Mind is very, very different from the brain which is part of the physical, with the physical always being temporal, limited"

It just has to find relationships existing between... whatever is the mind part of us, the metaphysical, is this relationship existing, but is not in the parts by themselves--that we are something apart from it, like the tuned part. The physical and the brain part are all that blah that is tuned in. You and I are really the non-tuned-in, the totality, the only capability that can tune in all the different ones. We are on the eternal side.

"So I see that humanity really is immortal, but I see us confused about life. We think of life as being physical. We said 'animate and inanimate.' The inanimate was clearly a cold hard stone and the animate was clearly warm soft flesh....the warm soft lily petal, or something like that, if it was animate."

Because you came in from there you are assuming that this is somehow still animate, whereas everything that you have found is inanimate. What is inanimate has become clearer and clearer; and what is animate has become less and less clear. So we finally get to where you find that we consist completely of atoms--and that atoms are completely inanimate, and so that whatever you are sumtotally is completely inanimate.

"This brings me around to the error man made thinking that life was the equipment used. I have developed an analogy where we have a friend who says 'I have this other friend who you would like very much. I would like the two of you to meet.' So our friend introduces you over the telephone.... You get to know each other very well, but you have never met: it is always over the telephone.... This begins to be the oldest friend you have, but you have never seen him.... All you ever know about Joe is over the telephone. We have been misidentifying ourselves.

It's as if you put a natural heater into the tree so that its liquid wouldn't freeze, so it wouldn't crystallize and break off. So that when you and I run into each other we don't get too badly hurt... Hydraulics, and pneumatics, and the heating so you're not going to freeze up. That's what we have here. That's what makes us seem different from the hard machinery, where we're only doing it in pure compression.

"Humans are not only halfway between the largest and smallest known biological species, but are distinguished from all other biological species in that all other species have predominant 'built-in' equipment, giving them special physical performance advantages in special environments. Humans can only be protected, supported, and accommodated more effectively by human mind's capability to employ abstract principles wherewith to invent and produce various artifacts that will permit humans to cope with evolutionary changes of the environment, within which, the humans are to function.

Originally integrally complex human functions could be multiplyingly deployed into a plurality of intercomplementary functioning devices, organisms, and creatures. It is implicit that amoebas and other simple organisms can be progressively, subdivisionally isolated out of complex organisms such as those of humans and introduced into an intercomplementary ecological environment-sustaining complex, but not vice versa.

Humans are as complex as Universe. Each human is one way in which all the potential intertransformabilities, degrees of freedom, and frequency variables could eventuate, provided all the other complementary evolution events of Universe had been concurrently transpiring.

'As partially noted previously,' Goldy says, 'the complex physical organisms employed by exclusively metaphysical humans differ from all other species in that all other species have highly specialized, built-in, special functioning equipment integral with their unit organisms which provide special capabilities in special environments, whereas the human organism lacks any such special integral equipment for functioning in special environments.

'Many creatures have brains. Brains always and only coordinately apprehend, store, and recall, only the special-case input information provided by humans' senses: smelling, tasting, touching, hearing, seeing, and possibly an ultra-high-frequency electromagnetic wave tune-in-ability. Brains of all the brain-equipped creatures always and only apprehend, memory-bank, and reconsider the special case information sense-harvested from'

"In addition to their brains' special-information apprehending, storing, and retrieving capability, the metaphysically operative humans have minds which have the (only-intuitively-triggered), exclusively unique capability of discovering the synergetic, weightless,covariant, complex interrelationships always existing only between, but never in, any of the separately-considered, special case phenomena with which the brain is exclusively pre-occupied. Human mind not only can discover the weightless, abstract, only-mathematically-statable, generalized scientific principles governing physical behaviors of Universe, but human mind can also use the generalized principles to produce the special case technology with which to cope successfully within any special case environment, and do so more effectively than can those creatures with special-environment-adapted, integral equipment.

When, however, humans are not using their mind and intuition-discovered equipment, can detach themselves from that equipment, and, unburdened, can make that equipment available to others. Generalization-informed human minds can deal with any special environment, but in order to do so have developed a myriad of detached-from-self tools and devices with which to operate more successfully, not only in all the known special environments around our planet Earth's surface than can any of the many known creatures especially and integrally equipped for operation in those special environments, but also occurring outside the Earth's biosphere in 'general space' and on the airless, waterless Moon where no other only-integ ally-equipped species can survive. All of humanity's nonintegral, special environment operations equipment may be employed interchangeably by all humans. Goldy remarks that apparently humans' minds have the potential capability of technically advantaging humans in sufficient degree to permit their eventual, safe, and progressively informing exploration of any and all physical and metaphysical environments in local Universe. "Since 'life' and its comprehending mind are only metaphysical, weightless, sizeless, and immortal, there are no physical environmental conditions within which it cannot cognitively prosper."

In confirmation of this, Goldy notes that when human organisms are declared dead, all the physical chemistry misidentified by scientists as constituting the prime ingredients of human life are as yet present, ergo, those who speak of the 'chemistry of life' are, unwittingly, self-misinforming. Life is not chemistry. Life is not physical. Life is indestructible, immortal, eternal. Life is only weightlessly-and omniinvisibly present."

"Such scientifically conducted zoological behavior studies use the words reward and punishment. By the word reward they do not refer to a gold medal. Their word punishment does not refer to whipping. The animal behavior scientist's word reward means that the creature is acquiring the vital life-support chemistries of air, food, and water well within the critical metabolic timing tolerance. Punishment, to them, means that the creature's subconsciously generated hunger, thirst and respiratory instincts are not met within comfortably tolerable time limits, whereafter the creature panics; its original subconscious, spontaneous, innate trust that its environment will always provide what it wants and needs"

When a series of failures has blown out all the alternate circuits' fuses then a sense of lethal frustration sets in which is identified as panic. Once panicked, the individuals-- creatures or humans-- tend to trust nothing and their behavior then becomes utterly unpredictable. They become spontaneously suspicious of their environment in general and prone to be spontaneously hostile and aggressive.

"This frustratingly insecure or panicked animal survival drive is not a primary human behavior; it is an only secondary and subordinate "fail-safe" behavior that occurs only when the very broad limits of physical tolerance are exceeded. When it is available, humans consume about two dry pounds of food daily as well as five pounds of water and seven pounds of oxygen, which their blood extracts from the 50 pounds of atmosphere that humans inhale daily. Humans can go 30 days without food; seven days without water; but only two minutes without air.

But because more than a minute or so absence of oxygen, of which humans use the most, could not be tolerated, nature provided the air everywhere around the world and in effect 'socialized' it.

When the human is stressed beyond these tolerable limits, then the preconditioned-reflexing brain function takes over from the thoughtful, loving, orderly reasoning of mind and the secondary utterly thoughtless behavior occurs.

"It is at least scientifically plausible, and possibly even scientifically validated, to say that not only all humans but all creatures are designed to behave spontaneously in a benign manner and that all creatures have toleration limits"

Human Tolerance Limits:

"within which they continue to function with subconsciously spontaneous amiability, but that many have been stressed and distressed beyond those limits early in their lives and consequently have developed aggressive, belligerent, or outrightly mad proclivities. This is not to say that this switch by both creatures and humans from dominance by their primary proclivities to dominance by their secondary proclivities is an irreparable condition of life on Earth. Though humans as yet know little about complete repair of their innate propensities there are promising signs that such cures are not beyond human minds' successful attainment."

World War I was called World War I because the stage on which it was acted was an historically unprecedented and entirely new world-around involvement. All previous wars of humanity related to food-producing lands. The farm boys were taken from the farms to fight the battles. All the food produced was taken from the farms for war support. The warring troops trampled down the farms. When the wars were over, everyone had lost. World War I was called that because it related not to the food-producing lands but to the metals which produce tin cans and refrigeration which effectively conserved, preserved, and facilitated food production and produced steel steamships with which to effect the food's world-around distribution; which metals lay all around the world and rarely under the farm lands-- all of which world-around metal ore lands were involved in the production of the new inanimate-energy-powered production machinery. (One telephone instrument employs metals from three continents of our planet.)

When World War I was over, the copper in the electric generators and motors did not rot as did the pre-World War I farm produce; nor did the copper return to the mines.

"The electric generators hooked up to the waterfalls kept producing electricity and the overland wires kept distributing that electricity to mass-production factories and human homes. Energy is the essence of wealth, wealth being the organized capability to support life.

"When World War I was over, all the metal-producing capability and energy generation persisted. In contradistinction to previous wars there was an enormous wealth gain by humanity. This high producing capability went not only into automobiles, but into farm machinery. It reduced the 90 percent of humanity necessary on the farms to six percent. Those not needed on the farms migrated to the cities. The canned or refrigerated food could now reach them anywhere. The new technology and its mass production under controlled environmental conditions made the old building craft technology--operating under noncontrolled-environmental-conditions--fundamentally obsolete; but the conditioned reflexes of humanity and society's preoccupation with the many accepted ways of earning its living obscured the fact the the World-War-I-initiated mass-production technologies of the sea and sky had unexpectedly rendered the old building arts completely"

"Subsequent to World War II it was found that all the metals of all kinds involved in the general technology of humanity were being consistently melted out of their old use forms on an average of every 22 years and became reemployed with an interim gained know-how to accomplish a far higher performance per pound-, erg-, and hour-technology for many times the number of humans served on the previous round. Japan became one of the world's greatest industrial countries without any mines for they employed only recirculating scrap. The 50-years-earlier-doomed building arts prototyped by yesterday's fortresses became clearly obsolete as ways for humanity to cope with ever increasingly new environmental confrontations and the automobile's uprooting of theretofore exclusively-locally-living humans.

"spring 'moving days' when the average US urban family moved from one house to another house, but only within their same home town--to more or less expensive rentals according to their changing means. With the advent of the automobile between World Wars I and II, workers could reach their factories or offices many miles away--could hunt and find better pay. Money-making corporations seeking to reduce labor costs by instituting automation, and opposed now by ever-more-effectively-organized labor, moved their factories to faraway out-of-town locations. The workers followed. Human families began to move out of town into new industries. In 1950 the average American family, both farm and urban, was moving out of town every six years. In 1975 the average American family was moving out of town every three years. Humans with legs to move were freeing themselves from the rooted dwelling patterns imposed by the roots of their earlier agrarian era. Human settlements had been inherent to both the agrarian and mill town eras. Now human unsettlement was occurring. Using marine life analogies, human life was graduating from its barnacle and coral era and was entering into its heavily armed, crab and lobster crawling-about stage--but here and there graduating into its free-swimming age."

"Because of the historical well known obstacles to such an exclusively science-fiction idea as that of 'travelling around the world in 80 days,' or any number of days, the concept was held to be practically impossible. However, the turn of the century advances in steamships and railroads changed the situation. In 1910, the retiring Harvard President, Dr. Eliot, made a trip around the world which all the world's newspapers followed reporting every incident of such an extraordinary human venture. In 1976, a large proportion of all the college graduates in their 20s and 30s have become world-around citizens. Ninety percent of the 1900s world humans were illiterate. Ninety percent"

Humane City:

"The humane city--what it might be--is a very challenging matter. Number one: we have to realize, in trying to answer that properly, that human beings are probably not on our little planet just to be amused, or to be pleased or displeased. We probably have a very important and unique function in Universe. What is unique about humans in contradistinction to any other phenomenon we know is their minds.

"So I would say that a humane city would have to give the human beings the time and the ease with which really to use their minds and not just their muscles. I don't think you could possibly design a humane city if you designed it on the basis of how are you going to make money out of real estate. You would quite clearly have to try to accommodate human beings on our planet who are all becoming very rapidly world-interested world citizens; and they are going to continually deploy for various experiences around the world; and they are going to converge from time to time--converging as we are here in this city.

"So they are not going to have a city ever again where it is"

Humane City:

"designed for people to be put and stay there throughout their whole life. All of us are going to be very transient with a higher and higher frequency of transiency.

"In order then to have the really satisfactory-to-humans city, we'd have to solve many other problems, particularly assessing the methods by which human beings account their energy--account their wealth. I am convinced that humanity is incredibly wealthy today. That is, that it has the know-how to take care of all of humanity at the highest standard of living that anybody has ever known; but it is preoccupied with long, age-held misassumptions that there is no where nearly enough to go around, nowhere nearly enough resources to support all human life. It has to be you or me. World society is spending $200 billion a year for the last 20 years on the wastefulness of getting ready for war--just to destroy each other; and this increases the scarcity of effective life support.

"I think then, to bring about the ideal city for humans, you would have to bring about a gradual accommodation of what we are here for--or else I think we're not going to stay on this planet very long anyway. That is, you would have to really"

Humane City:

"accommodate this extraordinary intellectual and mental capability of humans. Inasmuch as we're all here for problem-solving with those minds, it will not eliminate problems but the local problems of the Universe or something other than the questions of just how we might get on. Such a city would get completely away from the idea of inventing jobs just so people will have life-support buying capability. We will not waste those extraordinary amounts of gasoline just getting to work and away from work. We will not waste a great deal of the resources of the Earth for invented jobs, for invented ways of getting life support distributed.

"So I'll simply say... My statement is that the ideal city can be designed, we know how to do it technically. Whether we realize this... it will be a question of how rapidly humanity gets over its age-old preoccupations and arrives at a proper way of accounting their wealth and know-how, for that is what real wealth is, accrediting the enormous energies we have in a way that can take care of everybody, in a way that we already know how to do. I think that would be the humane city with its high potential of real success for all."

Humanity:

"Universe is the aggregate of eternal generalized principles whose nonunitarily conceptual scenario is unfoldingly manifest in a variety of special-case, local, time-space transformative, evolutionary events. Humans are each a special-case unfoldment-integrity of the multi-alternatived complex aggregate of abstract, weightless, omni-interaccommodative, maximally synergistic, non-sensorial, eternal, timeless principles of Universe. Humanity being a macro-->micro Universe unfolding eventuation, is physically irreversible yet eternally integrated with Universe. Humanity cannot shrink and return into the womb and revert to as yet unfertilized ova. Humanity can only evolve toward cosmic totality, which in turn can only be evolvingly regenerated through new-born humanity."
