Betrayed By Pakistan

You've heard the old saying, "Do I have to draw you a picture". How much more obvious can it be that the U S can't trust Pakistan and shouldn't trust them as an ally than what just happened in the past few days. We know that the sailors on the boat from which Bin Laden's weighted body was cast into the Arabian sea, arrived home safely today and were rightly lauded by the local people. But I bet you didn't know that those brave souls in Pakistan who were so instrumental in fingering Bin Laden were not so fortunate. There were about six key figures each instrumental in gathering information on and locating Bin Laden, were detained by the Pakistani government as some sort of common criminals. Like they say, "No good deed goes unpunished". What is President Obama going to do with Pakistan? Why on earth do we even need them- - now? Personally I'd prefer not to get in bed with a whore, especially is you wake up with some sort of disease. President Obama appears to be suffering from the termanal disease of cowardess. It's time that he "man up" and prove that the United States is made of better stuff, and we can afford to be at least a little picky about who our friends are. I mean, are we that afraid of being Nuked? (Selah) Of course Newt Gingrich in the debate said that the Times Square bomber of last May (2010) was willing to swear any loyalty oath he heeded to so those "lists of questions" that others would ask prospective cabinet appointees wouldn't be relivant in Newt's mind. After all Newt quotes that terrorist as saying "Well, guess what? I lied. You are my sworn enemy". And so now there is a new religion called "Prislam". This is the prisoner recruitment of radicals. Some would way we aren't as paranoid as we should be. Newt says that "When we used to go after Communists and Nazis, we didn't observe all the niceties of constitutional law. But it worked". I don't know about that. But it's pointless to be hot and bothered over some blowhard nuts in prison, when you have a nation like Pakistan around and running loose.

Well, Wheel of Fortune has now taken to guimicks. Each and every game on today's show has all the words starting with the same letter. (apparently just one round) So you look for a three letter space on the board and take a not so wild guess that every word starts with a T. As in a Tiny Tim song. Get it? Now perhaps they could try other patterns such as making every word in the puzzle an anagram. That would considerably speed up the process of solving. They would make every word in the puzzle begin with an odd numbered letter. In fact they would have to about do that. Do you know why? They couldn't make every puzzle word begin with an even numbered letter because each and every vowel, A, E, I, O, U, and even Y and W, are odd numbered letters.

You know some people can sleep under circumstances that would give most men palipatations. For instance in the movie All About Eve, Anne Baxter chose to take a nap right before a big Broadway performance after she had betrayed her best friends. George Sanders knocks on the door and Eve complains "You are interrupting my nap" and Sanders says, "You could sleep at a time like this, couldn't you?" So we know that two of Jesus' desciples, John and Peter, who first posed the question, knew that Judas was going out to betray Jesus. So then, why are they sleeping the evening away, despite numerous rousings by Jesus to "watch and pray?" I guess John Boehner like a killer lion after a satisfying hunt, can lay down and sleep, even knowing that his vote may have doomed the economy to a major debt crisis come August 2nd which is only about six weeks off. Now they report that there is this whole bank of computers keeping track of the debt and monitoring the money supply. But they tell us that on August 2nd that the entire bank of computers will shut down. At least George Bush when he saw the banking crisis of September of 2008 coming, he probably sweated a little and finally took action. I can't say the same thing about John Boehner. Some people "wait till the last moment" to get a needed task done. While there are others who wait PAST the last moment, and their slothfulness and inattention doesn't seem to bother them. Does John Boehner really believe the debt crisis won't come back on him. Is he content to let the rest of America suffer if he feels he is somehow insulated from it? I have seen no sign that the log jam in congress is close to be averted and that action on this urgent matter will finally be forthcoming.

Now there is a crisis in the life expectancy of women. The rate at which women are living longer is lessening and leveling out, whereas the actuarial tables with men are continuing their steady climb. Woman as of now are living to age 80 where as the average man dies at 75. I'm a little surprised at these figures. I've heard rosier ones. But there are certain problems unique to women. For one thing, women's blood pressure seems inherently harder to control. I know my Mom is still having trouble controling her blood pressure whereas mine has been controled for ten years. Also women don't get the warning symptums from approaching heart attacks that men do. Now they say that women having a higher pain threshhold don't mind the pain, and are less likely to complain. That's contrary to common belief for sure. And lastly, women are just more overweight then men and inherently have more problems trying to lose weight. Now they are cutting out chocolate milk in the LA Unified school district. This is a really bad idea because what they avoid in sugar is more than made up for by the vast ammount of vital nutrients that are to be found in a glass of milk. I say, "Rethink your position".

Finally let's talk about youth verses age. Some say "Youth is wasted on the young". Someone once raised the issue of would you like to live forever. While theoretically this would be a panacia there are certain impediments. For one thing even if you were restored to a young, vibrant, healthy body- - you would still be an "old man" in your mind. It would take Time to readjust your thinking and your perception of yourself. I have a more pragmatic reason for not wishing to live forever. For people living in S S I this is a life sentense. I've been disinherited by my family. This is a life long penalty. They say once you're on S S I it's about impossible to get off. Kind of like moving in here, and Dana is finding that out. To me I'm not sure it's entirely prudent to "think like an old person" with an aversion to taking risk and finding new adventures and experiances in life. To the Young this is instinctive. They say if you fall off a horse the thing to do is to get right back on. If you are flying and crash a plane, like Ernest Hemingway did, the thing to do is to get right back into it. This is because you know the things that bring you real pleasure in life. And pleasure is living. The person without desires is not "Enlightened"; he is Dead. (Selah) And if you're Evil Knevel on the Simpson's you may crash your motorcycle in a jump but even while youre laid up in traction in the hospital, you are dreaming of when you get out and can do your next ride. Scientologists would find another reason for "getting old". In order to rid yourself of Age, even with a healthy body, you need to rid your mind of engrams. And many times rather than "getting right back into it" you instead become mentally and psychologically traumatized. You go into a state of psychic unsciousness, which has nothing to do with measuring your vitals. In this "unconscious" state, you have this Black Hole in your psyche, from which all sorts of horrible things eminate, and if you could see it you could eliminate it, but you can't see it, unless a trained person helps you. Young people think they can live forever. As such they have already what Born Again Christians long for and struggle to achieve, but don't, and that is "Living in the Now".

California Proposition 8 Decision Upheld

Today they allowed to stand a ruling by a gay judge in California's ruling, striking down Proposition 8, which is the No Gay Marriage amendment that was ratified by the people of California. They had endeavored to have the court decision vacated due to the fact that the Judge was gay, and therefore should have recused himself. As much as I dislike the idea of gay marriage, I would have to admit that being gay does not in and of itself mentally incompacitate a judge, any more than a Black judge would be in ruling on a civil right's issue. It does not constitute a legal "conflict of interest" in the way it's defined by the legal system. Personally I am in agreement with the George Wallace doctrine enunciated in the 1968 Presidential campaign, which proclaims that the people of California are supreme, and can vote on anything they want, as long as it does not conflict with Federal law. In New York they are one republican vote away from passing a statute in that state legalizing gay marriage. In their assembly they have passed the measure many times, but the blockage comes in the NY senate. However Andrew Cuomo had now expressed confidence that the measure legalizing gay marriage in the state of New York will indeed pass.

In Wisconsin the state Supreme Court there has overturned a ruling by a lower court. The lower court decision declared that Governor Scott Walker improperly rammed through a bunch of anti Union and anti pension stuff through the state legislature. They violated quarum laws and otherwise violated legal procedures for that state. So now Scott Walker can declare victory with no one to challenge him. He can make things just as hard on state workers as he pleases. There was an election where Kloppenburg was the liberal judge and Prauser (?) was the conservative judicial candidate. The media had led everybody to believe that though the conservative was leading in the vote count, that the liberal was certain to overtake him in the vote count, and was the destined winner. We now know the conservative really did win. Six state Wisconsin senators are up for recall in the next election. And as of now it looks like many of these recall efforts will be successful. We can hope so. Scott Walker won't be subject to any recall effort till the beginning of next year. I am pretty confident that the people of Wisconsin will throw this man out of office and at last restore a little sanity to the state.

President Obama today issued a thirty page White House memo saying that the Administration saw no need to get congress' approval for continued joint NATO action in Libya. Nor will the President seek any. Last month the Republicans in the House in a bi-partisan vote issued a demand that the President give justification as to why he is not in violation of the War Powers act, passed in the 'seventies. John Boehner said that this coming Sunday the President would be in violation of the war powers act. So far the President has not gone along with the House' inclination to make it hard on the President. However in this case those whacko republicans are right. The President will be in violation of the War Powers act if he doesn't get needed approval for the action from Congress. The House, by design is the institution that provides for funding for military bills, and indeed the Constitution stipulates that all funding bills must originate in the house. Funding for a military action may not be for longer than two years. To me this is a simple case of whether the President wants to make unnecessary trouble for himself or not.

I would like now to meditate on the preamble to the US Constitution. Note the nouns and note the verbs. Six different verbs are used. We the People in order to FORM a more perfect Union, ESTABLISH justice, PROVIDE for the Common Defense, INSURE domestic tranquility, PROMOTE the general welfare and to SECURE the blessings of Liberty to ourself and posterity- - do ordain- - ect ect ect. First of all the phrase "more perfect" is used. This is one of those flip flop words that actually denotes "less perfect". The phrase is used in Corinthians and I believe also in Hebrews. In both cases it would seem to imply that what is to follow is LESS than perfect. Who wants to worship a "more perfect" God. In establishing justice, it means that this constitution sets the standards or plum line as to what actually constitutes justice. Note that it says to Provide for the comon defense but to Promote the general welfare. In other words the government should promote it- - but it's up to you to provide for yourself. Also the document is designed to Secure the blessings of liberty. That is, to obtain them and hold on to them. Were there no constitution, the blessings of liberty in time might slip away as the nation fell into the sort of anarchy that the Republicans on Monday's debate seem to be advocating.

Eleven is an interesting number. Of course I have eleven blogs. There are eleven members on a football team. There's eleven herbs and spices in Col. Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken. and scientists say there "used to be" eleven dimensions. Three of geometric materiality, two of time, and one psychic dimension divided similarly into a 3, 2, and 1 mini triangle. There would be 75 faces to a cube in the highest psychic realm. Perhaps it's a matter of advancing to various levels and "gaining a dimension" is a sign of status. How might this work? One dimension of psychic awareness would be such a thing as feelings, emotions, or some "notion" to either do or not do something. If emotions have colors these might enter the picture if one is visually oriented. This level, if it could be reduced to words, could be easily quantified as to it voracity or not. Two dimensional psychic awareness would consist of visions. But remember what Mal Evans told me. "If there is a conflict between the vision and the words I say, go with the words; they are more reliable." One might well draw an analogy between radio, television and 3 D television. The chance of "error" or break-down increases with each level. In the third dimension you would physically be there, as you would be with all higher dimensions. I have spoken much of the triangulation or Google Choose 2 function. So what is "choose 3". This is "pyramidization". One can do the same sort of opperation working with one can at the top and four underneathe it in a triangle, and a triangle below that of six, and thus the progression of the first three numbers in Pyramidization would be 1, 4, and 10. The time dimension would remain, making seven in all in the psychic realm. One Hi Fi magazine article said Mono sound was "zero dimensional sound" whereas stereo would be one dimensional, and quad would be but two dimensional. But there is one defacto dimension and that is Time. You didn't think of that one, did you, but that is an intrigal part of the experiance. On this side of materiality we see the RESULTS of actions. Over there we see the CAUSES of these action represented by the mind equivelent of sight and sound. It's impossible to hide anything at all in the psychic realm. As Dylan said in two different songs, "The whole world is going to see just what you are" (Selah)

In the soap opera you have the classic "Which double is the impostor and which one is the real Mc Coy and how do you go about determining which one is which? Both may say "trust me" and "I'm the real one". If the real one is prudent he will restrict himself to claims other than ones only he can personally prove. First of all, as the Rolling Stones song says, "Time is on the side of the real thing". Whichever double makes claims that time is of the essence is the more likely to be the impostor. The real one, if he's prudent, will tell you NOT to make a decision on the matter if you're not sure. In the program the real Mc Coy "looks" guilty because of various circumstantial factors, which were they explained and "vetted out" would cause instant Enlightenment to the Truth. The Truth will indeed set the Rightious free and convict the Guilty. (Selaah) The impostor would appear to garner sympathy (again circumstially) saying things like "look at me. I'm a victim" or shades of "Look at these nail marks in my hands". (see the OT original) A real God won't need to say "I am a God" (Ezekiel 28) because he knows he's God and doesn't need to prove it. The impostor will be unable to offer imperical proof about any of his vast claims about himself. Another key factor is having a Witness you can trust, because you know them through and through to be honest. In this case that would be Samantha Brady. Bo and Abe have known her from her youth, and know all about her, and how she is not conned or taken in by phoneys. Meditate with me on this truth now.

When police and the DA set up the prosecution of the accused, they construct a time line and a story line to sell the jury on. In it they usually want to get inside the mind of the accused and lead you step by step just what he did and some of his apparent motive in doing it. If there is some glitch in the time line- - - they have a choice of trying to slough it over or else go back and revise their flow charts and line up all their ducks in a row. In religion you have narratives. The most famous is the crucifixion narrative. This is obviously the center piece of Christianity that is the focus of all else. It is one story that is carefully told in all four gospels. Let's review it now.Jesus was arrested in the garden while his desciples slept (I'm not sure what they were "supposed to be doing") Judas (of all the possible names why "Judah"?) betrayed Jesus with a kiss (John knew the betrayer was Judas but did nothing to stop him) to the Pharices (and apparently not one witness came forth to defend him), who turned Jesus over to the Romans because they had no law to put a man to death. (False: Stonings occurred in the land all the time) Also it was illegal to carry out a sentence for a crime on the same day on which he was sentenced, and the Jews were risking this. But nobody needed to "betray" Jesus. Anyone could follow him around and jump him when he was alone. Pilate said Jesus was innocent because he was such a stand up fair guy. (False. The historic Pilate was a corrupt and ruthless man wouldn't bat an eye at vindictiveness) - - and so he put it up to a vote of the Jewish crowds to free a man. (No such "vote" has ever been allowed before and it's unlikely it occurred here. If Pilate had the power to set one man at liberty out of some custom, why just not free him regardless of "how the people vote?) And the people threatened Pilate and chanted “We have no king but Caesar. “ (Come on - - can you imagine a Jewish mob doing this - - Especially one that just voted to free a terrorist?) And then Pilate ceremonially washed his hands in Jewish tradition saying he is innocent of this man’s blood. (“Incredible!” This is an obscure practice in old testament Mosiac law, as if Pilate practiced that.) and the people responded, “His blood be upon ourselves and on our children”. (Like who is going to do this???) And Pilate ordered the sign “King of the Jews” being placed above the cross. (Presumably out of spite that their own rejected him.) And according to some sources Jesus stumbled carrying the cross three times, and Jesus cursed one of the mockers. All the while Roman troops gambled for his clothes- which would have been soaked in blood. (The Romans were paid well. They weren’t that hard up) Jesus tells women who mourn for him “Weep not for me but for yourselves. For some day the childless woman will be called blessed. And you will say to the mountains “Hide us”. And went on to say “If these things are done when the wood is green, worse things will be done when the wood is dry”. This sort of idle threat is not real consistent with a prisoner with nothing but "flower power" love in his heart. Then Roman guards were persuaded to hasten the deaths of the condemned men so as not to violate the Sabbath. (In point of historical fact, bodies of the condemned hung out on the cross for days till they were surround by flies and starting to decay.) And after he died he was buried in a new tomb, and Roman guards were enlisted to make sure that nobody was planning to fake a resurrection. (Come on! You mean the Sanhedren were so afraid the Christian Church was going to get established on a lie that they would get the Romans to waste men and time on such a vain pursuit) If any money changed hands, it would be a violation of the Sabbath, which they cared about. Virtually every sentence in this narrative was put there to illustrate a specific point. According to Randy Rhodes after May 21st we are going to be left here to burn on earth for five months till October. Pets will be left behind. Just what happens after October I'm not sure.

The Transportational Arbitrage Phenomenon

If you're looking for news just go to the next blog below this one. If you choose to stick around and read this then I salute you! You can just slip your check for $19.95 in the mail after you're done. On June 15th 2011 these remarks were extended and revised.

I wanted to talk about Time travel. Back in 1988 I sent someone in the media the proposition that in space folding, one usually didn't have a problem with landing on the other side in the same time frame (though mirror reversed). But I added "In some unusual cases one encounters gravimetric distortion that shifts time". First of all we need to expand our minds. People have various explanations for why we are even "trapped" in the particular time we are. The most comon is the "soap bubble" analogy, which illustrates the big bang. The big mental stretch here is portraying three dimensional matter is a flat surface with no "center". In this analogy, as in the Planet of the Apes movie as we mentioned in a recent posting, it is postulated you could circumnavigate the entire universe by traveling in basically a straight line. However I'm not sure Einstein ever used this analogy himself. However analogies lend themselves to being taken too literally and this is the danger here. It’s like when I was a little kid and we were in the car on the way to the Grifith Park observatory and my Dad gave me that riddle about “What has four wheels and flies?” Even when I realized “flies” could refer to the insect, it was a wwhile before the thought hit that there needn’t be any “flying” done at all. In the case of this classic theory about “why are we trapped in time and can’t get to the future or the past?” this analogy explains much, if you make the whole mental leap that “you aren’t seeing the whole enchilada in this illustration but only one convienient “plane” of it to make a point. And from one plane you can make reference to every other plane. It’s kind of the difference between seeing a photograph of the object and being there and actually walking around or through that object, as you can do in Google Sketch. The distance involved is a distamce in the fourth dimension from “Today”. Since in geometry such an equi-distant “point of distance” from a given dot, is called a circle. Keep in mind, and this is important, that ANY distance from the Big Bang “point” or dot, is the SAME dimension, that of our time. There is nothing about Time being two dimensional in this model. Perhaps I can better explain it using the illustration of Fireworks. You see these skyrockets going off and bursting in a circle. But maybe you wondered whether others see the thing as a head on circle or from the side like an oval or pancake. Then you get on your CB radio and find that each and every one of them also sees these fireballs as a circle. You wonder how this can be? Well, that’s because they aren’t circles but 3D “spheres” but you are only viewing a circle in 2 D. Keep in mind in this model Time is perfectly straight. Time never bends. Now in some Sci Fi movies it does. Hindus have a circular time view of cosmology where things are “reset” in the Cosmos every million years or so or whatever. In this model picture God as a magnet. The flux lines come out the north pole and loop around to all sides and come up from the bottom and again join the magnet. In this model one can see society as coming from God together and unified, and then as time passes – they separate. Some remain closer to God than others, but all eventually come together and rejoin God. You will note in this analogy the only time when society is ever “rising” or going Up or getting better is either immediately after having been with God, or else you’re about to rejoin God and are coming together, like the Beatles song says, or else the time you are “With God”. But in the soap bubble analogy- - the Universe by geometric mecessity, it would seem, is constantly getting larger in all directions away from the Big Bang. It is not only continually getting further away from its origins in Time but also the scope of the soap bubble is continually expanding. I've just read a lot about this theory in Time Life books. There are four analogies Einstein did employ in his own writings I'm fermiliar with. There is the easy train analogy, and the hard train analogy. This analogy largely centers on the idea of things appearing to occur at different times or even in reversed sequence, depending on how soon light reaches our eyes. Then we have the elevator analogy and the marbles analogy I rename the golf course analogy. (Who plays marbles these days?) In the elevator analogy it can be demonstrated that zero gravity can indeed be achieved within a gravitational field employing parabolas. Some again would carry this analogy “too far” and too literal to say that movement IS gravity and gravity IS movement. First of all gravity can be simulated by a continual numeric figure acceleration of the car. Not logarithmic but numeric. But one has tro ask himself “who is pushing the car?” The elevator is good at “compensating for” or “duplicating the effects of” gravity. But movement IS NOT gravity. I have no wish to repeal the laws of Universal attraction. In the golf course analogy we experiance what Pastor Chuck Smith would call "a break in expositional constancy" comparing it to the soap bubble analogy. Like that analogy the universe is portrayed as a flat surface. And just like the previous analogy, one may well remember my “Fireworks” illustration. Whatever is portrayed in 2 D is a 3 D reality and can be viewed from any three dimensional aspect. Unlike that analogy (and making it simpler) gravity is usually assumed to be downward as it affects trajectories and speeds. Grid lines are seen by the traveler as straight. As such were you to “fold space” the Universe would not know it was being folded for the most part because though the lines bend, we still see them as straight. Were one to actually fold space it would suppose a gravity source, and a giant one, “above” the grid plane. This not only complicates the illustration somewhat but the usual way in which folding space is portrayed it would be outright impossible, for it would suppose there is a gravity source "off the green grid" somewhere out in hyperspace. We know this cannot be because hyperspace does not conduct gravity. So it would not be, for instance, like holding a magnet over some magnetic green grid and watching it bend over. For some would say "were space to come back upon itself it would not be simply like bending a piece of flat paper." [deleted two sentences] I don’t know if Ether can penetrate itself. In Google Sketch objects by default can “penetrate” other objects as though they were not there. As such the thought is introduced of two space continuoums occupying the same space and unaware of each others existence. There is no indication this would be true. I don’t know the physical properties of ether. Perhaps double ether would cut the speed of light in half but have no other effects. Some including me think in terms of some “magic portal in space opening to the other side of the fold”. As to those who are still wondering what the “blank space” is in the golf course analogy, well, it's hyperspace or space "outside" the material universe. But of course you know from our study of the Hyperbolic Shield, which we have mentioned many times, that the “edge” of the Universe may not be seen as a “distance” away but rather is a function of the speed of light. “Hyperspace” could be found anywhere and by its sheer definition has neither dimensions within itself nor “locality”. However since such a gravity source needed would be way bigger than a Black Hole – one could not possibly imagine an artificial generation of it. And no gravity source "off the green grid" can affect the grid. Having two ether substances in the same space may not even possible. Some may say “you can’t fold 3 D solid matter.” Have you spent much time in the kitchen? How about kneading bread dough? You fold it over itself. Have you “folded” marangue into another substance? Same thing. So it is possible. It’s just that instead of your hands or a spoon, you employ strategically placed gravity wells to move the matter around to where you want it. But unlike the soap bubble analogy the "other dimension (shown as blank space) is Gravity (as we have just discussed) - and not Time. The grid lines are bent by gravity wells. Some would tell you gravity IS time. You know this isn't true because in general relativity- - - gravity can be reduced to a zero factor whereas Time can never fall below a factor of one. In a recent posting I discussed all the ways for hyper light travel. I discussed hyperspace, space folding, and manipulating Time (like the whole WARP thins is based on) Of these three I concluded hyperspace was your best shot. Because no matter how you manipulate time you still haven't solved your basic problem of transporting a MASS as a given Speed and having the passengers survive. Achieving Hyperspace can be as easy is taking the ETHER out of space. If you do this I postulate you will have achieved hyperspace. Having done so, then as in Star Wars and Asteroids, - Distance is no problem. But it's kind of like taking the Wet out of Water. I don't know how you do it. Once again we come to Space Folding a la the Dune movies. This is an extremely "disruptive" way to travel. As its usually illustrated I have now concluded it's utterly imposssible. It presupposes a massive gravitational force capable of bending space and looping it back upon itself- - the same way gravitation BENDS space in our green golf course grid analogy. The dime store hypothesis is that supposing a sufficiently powerful gravitational source and supposing that gravity has a spacial componet (the elevator analogy kind of suggests that it does) then you could skip light years distance in the Universe merely by opening up some Portal in space and stepping through. The whole "portal" thing however presupposes something. That the ether in space far away is somehow either different from ether here, or that the two portions of the space-ether are cohesive unto themselves, so that ether won't mix itself with ether and each knows where it came from so when you unfold or unscramble the universe things will go back to the way they were with everything in its original place. The time shift thing comes in because- - lets go back to the golf course analogy - - Gravity is stronger in some parts of the golf course than the others. It's stronger in the low valleys than in the higher areas. So that if a high area gets folded next to a lower area gravity will be different and so Time will be progressing at certain speeds. If you are in a high area going into a low area, you will step back into the past because Time goes more slowly there, If you are already IN a low area and step into a high area, you will conversely step into the Future, and hypothetically you may cross back and forth as many times as you like. There are two logical reasons why this is possible. One is that if a time travel is "pre ordained" by God, it is allowable, the same way that computer loops are allowable in linear logic. Just as an addendem to this, there IS a place for God in linear logic, but it is at the beginning of the chain and not as a component of circular reasoning. Any variable must be backed by something of uncontestable value, and this includes our money. Neither should computer logic lines ever cross. Because in doing so you may inadvertantly rewrite (or overwrite) the valuable of a variable you'll subsequently need at its original value. The other reason why they are allowable is the time and distance relation. We at night look into the sky with our powerful telescopes and may see into the past millions of years, yet nobody questions this. This phenomenon is what is known as your own personal Event Horizon, or as I cutely refer to it "A thought pyramid". In Wayne Dyre logic you can not travel TO another unless you are in THEIR event horizon. This has interesting applications when attempting to "reach God" because you'll be unable to reach Him unless HE can see you. As some would say time travel (via light waves) to your eye goes on all the time - you just can't do it HERE. Or so one would think. This posting is called "The Transportational Arbitrage Phenominon". It has to do with the possability of time travel. In comodities and in sports betting theoretically you can take advantage of things like a difference in point spreads for teams. Theoretically you could bet your life's savings every Sunday and even take out a loan, with no risk of ever losing a penny, if arbitrage really works. You could bet on a team favored by four and a half points to win, and turn around and bet money on the same team to lose with another bookie if he favors the team by five and a half points. You may win, but you could never lose. In time travel I'm depending on two different methods of teleportation. If we believe the book of Revelation there is time passage in Heaven, for it says in one passage "And then there was silence in heaven for what seemed like a half an hour". Gravity can be a zero factor but if time were a zero factor you'd have division by zero problems. Maathematically you can't quantify "nothing", which is what you'd be doing with a time factor of zero, staying within the fourth dimension. If the time factor of hyperspace is a One, then we can put another exestential idea to the test, Suppose you use one method- - space folding, to get TO your destination but to come BACK you employ pure hyperspace? This is what I refer to as “travel arbitrage”. When is “Today” not really today? Is time an abstract conception of the Mind that is always constant but doesn’t exist (except in our minds) in actuality, but is only employed to “measure” things in our world. The other view is that Time is an integral part of the Universe itself. Here is the exestencial “problem”. What if it looks like a dog, barks like a dog, has fleas like a dog, even smells like a dog. And suppose you do a DNA test and it comes back the DNA of a dog? Is it a dog? What if I tell you that I know it’s not? How can we prove whether is is “really” a dog or not? Suppose at three o clock this afternoon time slowed down to forty percent of normal. Your watch slowed. Your body and cell matabelism slowed. Frequencies of television stations slowed, even the frequency of specific spectoral colors slowed, but the colors looked the same? Suppose the very electrons not to mention the acceleration rate of gravity slowed? Suppose it did this for four days and then went back to normal? Would ten days “really” have elapsed or just four. Now suppose it’s one percent and not forty, but it started a thousand years ago. Suppose on the space fold destination there is a planet identical in every to Earth except for the dialated time? It would be like stepping back in time for ten years. You see normally, “Time Shifts” in distant lands wouldn’t matter because you never knew what “NOW” was to begin with. But if you had a point of reference it would make a dramatic different. But even if there was no cloned earth- - supposed you used space folding to go TO your destination and hyper-space to get BACK. You could by combining these different modes of travel, much as conbining metals in acid to produce an electric current- - you would “really have something you could use” either to travel forward in time or to travel backwards. You would have indeed achieved the dream of being two places at once. But ONLY if you were THERE all along, but never knew it because you hadn’t lived there yet. Or as we say, “only if such a leap is pre ordained by God. (you don’t see God in a science discourse very often but you can’t get away fro it here) You may even talk to people and then after making a long list of predictions about George W Bush, you would just travel back by the reverse rout, not caring to really live the previous ten years over again. Just think about it. It's theoretically possible.

Republican Would Be's Gather for First Debate

The republican debate last night was a major horror show best remembered by six words, and these are “Deregulate, deregulate, and deregulate” and “privatize, privatize, and privatize. All of the candidates seemed big on bragging on how many children and grandchildren they had. This is why I dread going to heaven. According to Randy Rhodes, this whole debate was based upon no true facts. It was all about supply siders and nothing about the common man at all. Randy says the words “middle class” never once came from anyone’s lips”. I just watched some of the Republican debate on C-Span.com. Gingrich is the most conservative being strident on area such as racial profiling and applying religious tests to work in government and in transferring half of Homeland Security to the border for immigration control. Santarum has the purest anti abortion stance but Pawlente says he has the track record as governor of appointing pro life judges. All seem to agree that life is sacrosanct from conception to the grave. Many want to vastly expand oil drilling and coal production as well as nuclear. There seemed to be zero concern for either pollution nor scarcity of resources. Gingrich accused the President is deliberately passing an immigration reform bill, even though in doing so the President was catering to the right wing. Most agree with me on the Eminent Domain issue saying private property should not be conthiscated by the government and handed over to meda-corporate developers. Unfortunately even though I heard the words, they don’t mean it. You know “boosting tax revenues” will be a major factor.

The Republicans ran a Chicago economics “social experiment” in Chile as a prelude to trying it here when they put Pinochet in as President of Chile in 1973 under Nixon. Many say that the “freed up economics” caused vast inequities in Chilean society and exerbated economic crises in that country. They privatized social security rather than fix it. But dismantling something already in place cost much more in the long run. And if you so much as missed one “insurance payment” you were cut off for all time, so that women and those who lacked seniority suffered the most. Of course Randy Rhodes went on to say that in 2000 they got the Supreme Court to stop the counting of ballots in Florida, thus intervening in a Presidential election for the first time since 1877, and the results were disasterous then, too. Now these “social experimenters” feel so confident they can virtually dictate the political stance on any issue by a Republican candidate, so that policies that would have made Barry Goldwater blush are now commonly accepted. Mitt Romney is famous for raiding corporations and leeching money out of them, and throwing workers out in the cold, and sending their jobs overseas. Randy doesn’t even think democrats will talk about this “elephant in the room” lest they too be denied this “dirty money”. But she forgets the battle between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown. All of her vast money could not bury the truth, and California voters saw through it all.

The African Moslem organizer of the killings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 has been killed as of earlier this week. We’re getting them one by one. I don't know if this connected with President Clinton "bombing an Asprin factory in August of 1998 as Rush Limbaugh accuses him of or not. Clearly Al Qaeda is becomming decimated of its top leadership and is less of a threat.

Steve says that he has a hundred thousand dollars in the bank but he can’t withdraw it because his sister controls it. He and his sister each got a hundred thousand from their parents’ sale of their house. They are both dead now. Dana says that if his sister won’t let him have it then his sister is a bitch. This is the way it is with family members around here. They are about as charitable tword us as the Catholic church is tword the poor asking them for money. Scott Wilkinson is in for Leo Le Port today. I dozed off for just a bit. Scott says that the 2012 Olympics will be in 3 D. He also says that 3 D television sets generally give you a better 2 D experience too.

This Sunday they are having the gay pride parade down Santa Monica blvd. The event celebrates gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals, and trans-sexuals. They may be putting gay curriculum in the schools now with five year olds. One thing they are dropping from standard fare is handwriting. They say it’s obsolete and that little kids would rather “text” each other. So a kid may grow up neither being able to sign his own name, nor read grandpa’s old letters in the attic. Someone (I forget who) said that they oughta abolish Junior Colleges “because they amount to little more than a baby sitting service”.

I guess Sean Lennon, Olivia Harrison, Yoco Ono and Paul Mc Cartney are all hanging out with each other these days. They say that the re-release of the Mc Cartney album has bonus tracks. If is does, they didn’t play any. In case KLOS is wondering that one group I added to that Zachery list was Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is regarded by many as “The greatest rock and roll band ever”. Who did they have in mind? I went out for coffee break at ten. Scott Wilkinson talked about playing a flute with no holes except for a small one at the end. I know a lot of gay people who have played flutes like that.

Last night it was ABC news and later on the Mc Laughlin group. Then I posted last night’s blog. I decided not to use the Stewart Sutcliffe apparence. It went like this. Stewart told me that the Federation has always agreed with my dimensional face formula of two years ago, and is perplexed why I abandoned it. He said that the Wickipedia article was just wrong. You know I was afraid they might have locked my blog today thinking it had Span on it because I used so much center stuff and had numbers and some key buzz words. In 2009 I was really worried about this because it happened several times. When I lost internet for nearly five weeks I went on line to James' computer just to check and see that my Blog hadn't been locked..

Dallas Mavericks Win First NBA Championship

Newsflash. John Mc Cain wins the NBA Championship. Tonight in Miami before a stunned home crowd, the Dallas Mavericks won in game six beating the Miami Heat 105 to 95. It wasn't a particularly close game. A couple games in the series were not decided until the last shot. They handed out the championship trophy and Dirk Navinsky won the most valuable player award. I was disappointed. Labran James failed to come through at key points in the game. The Miami people had stated that would win seven championships with James on the team. I think this date of June 12th has gotta be about the earliest date an NBA championship has been decided in a long time. It was an exciting series.

Things continue to get worse in Syria with now ten thousand protesters being killed by government troops in the past three months they say. Now troopers in the Syrian army are starting to jump sides being ordered to fire on demonstrators, and if they didn't they would be shot in the back by superiors. Thousands have been fleeing to neighboring Turkey, close by. But other refugees are "stranded" and unable to reach Turkey. It seems the world in general is ignoring this conflict and not giving the insergents needed aid, as they have been doing in Libya. Now, though, our government is trying to get internet access to these people. They are issuing wireless internet equipment to the people. Troopers can be brutal if they suspect you've been contacting people on the internet. Hopefully despots throughout the world may be overcome by this world wide internet revolution and they'll realize the rules of the game have been changed.

In Japan on farms radioactivity is still fifty times the normal background level. But it's below what the Japanese government says that would necetate evacuation. Still the farmers are concerned about the safety of their product. However look at it this way. If you eat only food grown on your land you may well be in trouble. But if a certain vegetable comprises but one item in an otherwise radiation free diet, you might make out OK. The officials now say that three reactors melted down in that earthquake. Even now they are still working on the problem.

This old scientific genius with an eye for making bucks has come out with a totally synthetic form of bacteria made entirely in the laboritory with "software assembled" DNA. And the chromosones themselves were man made and not from nature. They say it will speed up the production of vaccines from several years to nine months. This same individual was honored by President Clinton in the 'nineties. But shortly after his mastery of the human genome, he lost his job at the science firm he worked at. He says synthetic DNA is safer than experimenting with known pathogens because with his projects all the variables are known ahead of time. In his youth he didn't do well in school and them dropped out for a while to become a surfer. Then he went to Viet Nam as a media and this experiance turned him around and he went back to school His products, which he regards as "genetic software" can be used to eat coal and produce natural gas, or else consume carbon dioxide to produce bio fuels. Corporations are competing for his patronage. I'm always gladdened when I hear of scientific advances like this.

In terms of my own ego, I now say that my original theory of two years ago is based on sound reasoning. I believe four dimensional cubes have 18 faces but they say 24. For both me and Wickipedia we agree on the basic trangulation formula for determining the basic number of planes. We also agree on the method of computing "unused dimensions". Where we part company is that Wickipedia believes in doubling everything. In my theory I feature a "basic set of six different plane surfaces". With these you can have two simotanious opposite surfaces. This is a concept people don't grasp because they are used to three dimensional reasoning and not four dimensional reasoning, where you can go off in two dimensions at once and both opposing surfaces can be legatimate "opposites" being both congruant and parrellel plains and also being perpendicularly distant from the original plane.

SHIP BUILDER WANTED "Sir are you applying for the job?" "Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan" "Move along; we only want people who speak Greek here." "Hi, my name is Paul and I'm a ship builder from my youth. I know everything there is to know about ship building. Ask me anything. I hear you are commissioning a vessel for some churchmen in Rome and you want to be sure it can last 1900 years but really don't care much beyond that. I was born in the year 842 "AC". I seduced a virgin in my youth and my father is a Rabbi and he kicked me out of the synagogue. I believe that the angelic hosts are demonic, and I believe the cosmos is utterly morally depraved. And I don't work cheap." "You sound like just the guy we're looking for"

If you are into the Simpson's you know with their calculator spell-out thing that their zip code is either 80085 or else 58008. Back in January 1975 someone came to me with this "mathematical problem" that spelled out SHELLOIL. So I came up one I confronted others with that spelled out BOBS, which was competing with Sambos and Denny's. Also in January 1975 I came up with my "Meditation Square". Much later I designed a program in BASIC to produce this design, and then color in all the pieces in different colors. Then I would have all of the colors change to other random colors. (actually if you observe closely the pattern isn't random) I've written a lot of programs like that. OK now we will close this Sunday night prayer meeting with a rousing chorus of "Let the Midnight Special - Shine a Light On Me". Remember as of now the Rapture is scheduled for September 28th 2011 in the evening here in California. Of course you know how irregular train schedules are these days since Am-Track has taken over. Donald Trump got an invitation. He said "Look at this. I got an invitation to attend the Feast of Strumpets. That sounds like my kind of party. Count me in! "Let me see that invitation a minute. I think there is a glitch in the translation". "It says the feast is for Midnight CST. I guess that must mean "Cash Stipulated Transaction".

You're gona have bad nightmares and never will wake up
But the pills you need to stop them -
will cost more than you've got
Hey, Hey I'd Have To Be You On That Final Day!

You're gona wonder just what happened
next day as you stare up at the moon
You didn't think your luck would rune out
Nearly all this soon

"At Midnight all the Agents- - (of misfortune)
And the super-human crew - - Come Out
And round up everybody that knows more than they do"

What's this stuff with the amino acid potion?
I thought you people didn't believe in Evolution
"You gain wisdom my child
This only means the sort of entity we're talking about
Is neither natural nor Godly"
"My God he's not a natural man!"

The Edge stared up at the Twilight's First Gleaming
The moon was almost hidden as it suddenly appeared six degrees above the horizon as the stars were beginning to hide
A voice asked him how he was doing?
"Is that some kind of Joke?"
"Well if it's a joke - - Then today must be April first
- - so what does that make it 72 hours from now?"
Meanwhile at the recording studio on Sirius A
The manager said that the moment was scheduled for New York time at midnight but keep in mine that Eternity will be turned sideways so don't be late - so it's actually 12:52 for those alive in the summer of 1965 in New York. Or if you plan on going to California it will be 9:52 PM for you. And if you see the lady with the flowers in her hair tell her sorry about giving "Blue Bird" the axe because "it doesn't fit the plan", but tell my love this business transaction will be conducted without, without words.
You thought such Mind Games were over after track eleven faded into vinyl nirvana
"Gosh, I'll need that hour to dress - what are they wearing now?"
"Some people choose to spend that time at the Jim Morrison theater matinee showing"

Economic Statistics Continue to Look GrimW

Well the gloom and doomsters from the Mc Laughlin group have spoken - once again. 75% of the America think this country is in "bad shape". Nearly fifty percent of the people expect us to be in a major "Depression" within a year. The average unemployed person has been without work for an average of nine months, and this is the worst statistic here since 1948. They tell us countless men will die a premature death due to loss of their job and lack of purpose. Some say that after we withdraw entirely from Afghanistan in 2014 (a date tossed out on the show) that what's left of this economy will fall apart then. Dr. Levy continues to moan about job cut backs robbing the disadvantaged of urgent programs. His solution is to cut taxes so that jobs will come back to California. The trouble is that many low wage states such as Florida aren't attracting high tech companies either. And the reason is simple. The population is so uneducated they won't be able to hire suitable workers. In response to all this former Minnisota governor Tim Tawlenty unveiled his herolded economic revival plan, with which he intends to win the Presidential election next year. This plan is a real horror freak show. He wants to cut corporate taxes from 35%^ to 15%, which is drastic to say the least. He wants to eliminate all capital gains tax, all dividend tax, and all inheritence taxes. For the wage earner he wants a ten percent for people under 100,000 and this rises to 25% for income over 100,000. He wants to cut the share of the federal government GNP from 25% to 15%. Even the people on the show that going below 20% is unrealistic. Paul Ryan wanted this figure of 18% of GNP for government. Finally Tim Pawlente wants a Constitutional amendment to mandate that every federal budged from here on out be ballanced. The 1972 Republican convention rejected just such an amendment handily. In response to this many Republicans say "This guy has got a lot of good ideas". Pat Buchannon regards his plan as visionary and a worthy goal to pursue. If you know anything about economic history at all you know these numbers are nightmarish. Someone said Federal revenue is already the lowest since 1950. How much further back do they want to take us? It's time for men of reason to rise up and put a stop to this, before any of it gets enacted.

Congressman Wiener is under increased pressure to resign. Harry Reid can no longer defend him and now Nancy Palosi says she plans to call for a house Ethics investigation. They say he has violated the part about "conducting yourself so as to not bring shame on Congress". However his wife is doing one of these Hillary style "stand by your man" routines, and is supporting his staying. People on the show were divided on whether Wiener will stay or go. But I could imagine a headline that reads "Wiener Refuses to Go - - Serious Consequences to Occur with Severe Back-up of Leglislation". But as far as we know Congress Wiener has broken no actual laws. By Nixon's own standards there "is no indictable offences".

Former Senator Rick Santaurum has declared his candidicy for President. He is every bit as conservative as Tim Tawlenty however on the subject of abortion he is strident in saying life begins at the moment of conception and that rape and incest are not valid reasons to have an abortion. There’ll be no RU 486 for those women. I’m getting the sense that people are actually buying Republican arguments. They say if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it. So many have repeated the line that the President’s economic policies have made the US economy worse and that the President’s programs have lost 2 ½ million jobs. This is a flat out lie, of course. They also said that the only profitable part of medicare is “medicare advantage”. This is a lie. Tim Pawlenty has taken to calling Obama Health Care "Obomney Care" because Pawlenty maintains the President modeled his health care package after that of Mitt Romney.

Janet Evans is trying out for the 2012 Olympics, trying to make a come-back. She has broken records "for her [advanced] age" but still is twenty seconds off her best swimming times. The way I see it, that won't cut it. But people like an under-dog. And they admire the old timer who is still with it, in a vain attempt to hold back the ravages of time.

People are always told that it's the victors who write the history for a society. How true must this be for the Catholic Church? They ruled their part of the world virtually undisputed for over a thousand years. Dylan in the song "John Birch Society Blues" has a line in there "I investigated all the books of the library ant ninety percent of them gotta be burned away. I started investigating all my friends and 98% of them have to go. The other two percent are fellow Birchers, just like me". We dare not forget how despotic the Church has been in its history. We know they burned heritics at the stake- - into the 1500's. We know they often did this for silly, irrational reasons having little to do with a "fall from grace". So what makes you think the Church isn't above fabricating history. The other day I tried to look up the history of the Corinthian church- - in the years following the Bible. I couldn't find it. Outside of the Bible I couldn't even find reference there ever WAS a "Corinthian Church" outside of one source, and that is the Catholic Encyclopedia. I read it in the First Epistle of Clement. That's what it's called - the First Epistle of Clement. There is also a Second Epistle of Clement but that one was declared a fraud, even among Catholics. My question is "You normally don't call something a "First" unless there is also a "Second". Apolonius of Tyannus died in western Asia Minor in AD 97. He has said to have done miracles that rival those of Christ. We know that St. Paul appeared to know very little about the actual life of Christ. Furthermore he himself states that the physical history of Jesus or "knowing him after the flesh" is not even important. St. Paul is also on the record as saying "Even if an angel out of heaven speaks to you- - " or "No matter what authority tells you otherwise- - " that his "Gospel" is supreme because HE got it right from God. Have you people seen Star Trek I? (note the Roman numeral) In that movie there was a synthisis between a sattalite exploring planets with another that was designed to irradicate crop pests. These two things combined into a strange brew. We don't know what type of metaphorical "amino acids" were swerling around in Asia Minor in the early 2nd. Century. We don't know (in my own mind) whether those in Rome who called themselves "Christians" earlier in the first century were the same bunch as were in Asia Minor after Apollonius died, or rather "ascended into Heaven after forth days". Jesus said "when a demon is driven out of a habitation, it roams the earth looking for another". A lot of people were driven out of Palestine by Rome during this period, particularly after 135. I don't know what actually happened. It is my hope that one day we will learn what really did.

Finally we close with this. I am reversing my position on the Wickipedia article on the fourth dimension once again. The Wickipedia article is wrong. Stewart from the Federation told me this evening that my original math formula was the correct one, and with several proofs he convinced me. I just urge my followers to look at my original numbers on the dimensional cubic faces and put their thinking caps on. If they don't get it today I might come back and explain it to them in a few months.

Shapes of Things

According to Thom Hartman's upcoming book, the shape of the economy is not only bad now but will continue to be for years. Apparently Thom's next book will be titled "The Coming Crash of 2015." My guess if that his hope may be "If things get bad enough somehow the people will wake up and see the error of their ways and throw the republican bums out and elect liberal democrats in their place. I've been beguiled by this "things can't get any worse" fallocy so many times I wouldn't assume that some cosmic hand is going to step in to either save us, or rouse the people to common sense. It's never worked with the family or Christian friends. The truth is that you "hit bottom" not at some mystical point but rather when you "decide that you've just had enough" and act on that. The truth is we don't have to wait for 2015 to act, we can act right now. We can act next year. We could have acted in 2009 and crafted the stimulus bill so that it created the jobs we really needed to have instead of boondoggle givaways to voters in certain districts. We could have had a President who commanded moral authority. Vincent Bugliosi points out that a big factor in Chris Darden and Marsha Clark loosing the O J trial was that there was absolutely no moral outrage or telling the jurors "You OWE it to those two dead young people to turn in the right verdict". Only God knows why Americans haven't found the will to get their electoral act together before this. I thought "If we ever elected a Black president all our problems would be solved". Boy was I proven wrong! In order to "break out of our rut" what we're most likely going to have to do is abandon political party structures. And you know what they say, "A rut is just an open-ended grave". We cannot be cowed by either tradition or think we are acting in the name of "expediancy". Here's a news flash. Anything that "doesn't work" can't be called expediant. And what we have tried up till now hasn't worked. Reformers have never been afraid to do in the past. Even Jesus said "You can't put new wine in old wine skins". But people just don't have the balls today to do the things patriots routinely used to do in film excerpts from "Profiles in Courage" we used to see in school.

Now they have something called "Tea-vangelists". Well, it's the dreaded union of Ayan Rand and the Holy Spirit. The results can't be good. The tea party were people who held Ayan Rand as their hero - - as Hartman has pointed out many times on his show. In their character they are essentially godless heathens who care only for themselves. There is no sense of helping out your fellow man, as Jesus taught, and there is no sense of "stewardship of the earth, which belongs to God" as God told Adam and Eve to do. My continuing growing disdain of Christianity largely centers on the fact that little by little, Christianity is slowly and inevitably becomming less "Christian". First it was the hyper commercialization of Jesus trinkets and "Jesus music". Then it was their "Me, first and last" gospel. To this Neil Savedra added in his two cents of "Don't depend on God for nothing". And finally the tea party throws in their tax element imputing near holiness to the Wall Streeters and the transnational corporations and the banksters. And at the same time saying those who plead for a more equitable distribution of wealth in America as "liberation theologists" or "collectivists" or just suffering from "Coveting thy neighbor's goods" as the tenth commandment prohibits. Now evangelists are appealing to housewives that are home during the day saying "You are the ones who started the tea party movement and I must say that's a pretty big joke for God to play on the liberals". They are playing on the discredited myth that the tea party of a "grass root movement of concerned Americans". Randy Rhodes says she was fooled by them originally but I never was. Of course in a Dylan song Bob Dylan speaks of "the tea preacher looked so baffled, when I asked him why he he dressed with twenty pounds of headlines stapled to his chest". The rest of the verse goes "But he curse me when I proved to him, that a whisper said not even you can hide. You see you're just like me. I hope you're satisfied". This would allude to sexual conduct. Randy Rhodes points out how the Republicans are quick to forgive their own gross sexual conduct. What do you do with someone like Mark LeVin? As Hartman points out these appeals to the social right are just trinkets and come-ons, to suck you into their real agenda of having corporations take over the world and have our Constitution be irrelivent.

It's always humbling to admit you were wrong about something, especially when you thought you hit upon the holy grail of dimensional theories. But this is just the case with me where I checked out my theory of 2009 on dimension prediction and learned that I was flat out wrong. I checked out Wickipedia. They used a trippy demonstration of a four dimensional cube and even had animations. We now come to that 24 sided cube thing in Wickipedia. I have deduced that the number 24 is correct. There are only 24 frames in their cube and not 36 because I was counting twelve of them twice. There were four connecting faces extending from each of the six primary faces like the opening up of a box connecting the nearer cube with the distant one. I made the logical error of assuming each "box" opened with four flaps and got 24 when there were only 12. Also I counted out the dimensions one by one. The exercise went like this. Dimensions 1 and 2 separated by 3; dementions 1 and 3 separated by 2, dimensions 2 and 3 separated by 1. Now I’ve done a quarter of them without using dimension 4 at all. I could do the same sort of calculations three more times omitting the numbers 3, and then without 2, and then without 1, and if you double each calculation you get 24 cube faces. I made a logical error in my original formula two years ago. The number of faces for 4 dimensions is 24 because each set of six planes can play itself twice with one remaining dimension number, and twice again with the remaining dimension number making 24. It’s just that simple. You can do this exercise with five dimensions where you would have 10 plans and three numbers to use, giving you 30, which gets doubled to 60. With six dimensions you have 15 plains and four unused dimensions and 4 x 15 is 60 which doubles to 120. With seven dimensions you have 21 planes and 5 unused dimensions which after you double it gives you 10 x 21 or 210 faces on a seven dimensional cube. Keep in mind according to the rules of the game all the corners of the cube must be ninety degrees and each cube must have two congruent faces that are both parrell planes to each other but also perpimdicularly separated from each other. All the shapes need not be squares, but the two opposing faces must be congruent and parrellel- - - and also perpendicularly separated.

In three dimensional shapes you have the tetrahedron which can double to a hexahedron, you have the prison, with a triangle on top and three sides that are square and a triangle bottom. You have your triangle shape of three trapezoidal slanting shapes top and bottom with a triangle shape on the top and bottom. With four you can have a pentahedron which doubles to an octahedron, which is a doubled pyramid. You have your standard cube. You have a skewed quaderalateral on top and bottom with sides as rectangles or your basic flat “diamond” shape. You can skew again to have two more skewed sides in addition to the skewed top, and you can skew again in the other direction to have all six sides skewed as diamond quazdralatterals. Also you can use the same slanting trapezoidal shape guimic with a square top and bottom and four slanting trapezoidal sides at a 45 degre angle with a midsection of rectangles, to give you a square shape when viewed from the top and an octagonal shape when viewed from the side. And you can do the slanting trapazoid thing by itself without the middle portion made of squares and make the angle 30 degrees above and below the horizon on each side of the horozontal axis, to form a hexagon shape when viewed from the side. In addition to these Sketch has other shapes involving the “diamond” shape that are rather trippy. This is mixed with a diamond shape running vertically. With five sides you can have you basic Oreo pentagon, which has nothing to do with Collin Powell as chief of staff. You have your dou-decahedron all pentagonal sides shape, like that calendar paper weight thing we had in the early seventies. You can also have a single or doubled pentagonal pyramid, which would have ten faces. You can also have a pentoganal shape with trapezoid sides slanting in from a common center with a flattened top and bottom allowing for a pentagon on these two faces. Sketch also features pentagonal shapes with a mixture of triangles and pentagons, and also pentagons and hexagons combined in one shape, don’t even ask me how. There is also a pentagonal shape made entirely out of triangles. I believe this employs twelve pentagonal pyramids only slightly raised, on each of the twelve pentagonal faces. With the hexogon you can again your basic Oreo hexagon with the six rectangular sides and a hexagon on top and bottom. You can have a doubled six sided pyramid with all the lines coming to singular points at top and bottom. You can combine these shapes to include a rectangular shapes middle. You can have slanting trapezoidal sides (six of these) top and bottom below a horizontal medium with a hexagonal top and bottom. You can also have a shape that’s a hexagon of hexagons forming a circle with a jagged zig-zag roof line kind of line an open out folding fan- - with all the connecting lines coming to a peak at the top or at the bottom. They say there exists a shape made up of pure hexagons made up of 72 faces but Sketch doesn’t have it. Finally we come to curved surfaces. We have your basic cyllender, which can be flattened out into a cookie or coin shape. You have your sphere, your cone, and your doubled cone. You can have a doubled cone with a flattened circular face top and bottom. And you can have your basic sphere with a sliced off top and bottom akin to your frizbee or flying saucer shape. You can vary this theme with a shallow cyllendrical midsection and conic tops and bottoms. The possibilities are amazing. Don't get tripped out by the blue if it shows.
