Hands of God and Adam

Flash points in the Middle East, India, and the Philippines underscore the promise for improvement the Catholic/Muslim seminars carry. Perhaps the most appropriate entry point for the Triad is to define an experimental platform useful in establishing convergence to differences so well summarized by S. N. Eisenstadt and Cardinal Schonborn. Restating, looking for the hard kernel:

• The question dividing many societies is whether a social category or subcategory or the natural world is the proper mediator between the unlimited mind of the Creator and the limited mind of humans.

A common denominator to this category of question can be taken not (with some exceptions) to be the terminals, e.g. termites and the creator, but the route to the divine. Corollary to this, expected and prohibited behavior have become  boundary markers. A first approximation for method to establish common ground might be to consider the Catholic belief regarding prayer.

Joseph Card. Ratzinger Prefect – At Rome, from the offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, October 15, 1989, the Feast of Saint Teresa of Jesus:[4]

• “[6] There exists, then, a strict relationship between revelation and prayer. The Dogmatic Constitution “Dei Verbum” teaches that by means of his revelation the invisible God, “from the fullness of his love, addresses men as his friends [cf. Ex 33:11; Jn 15:14-15], and moves among them [cf. Bar 3:38], in order to invite and receive them into his own company.[4]

• [4] Dogmatic Constitution “Dei Verbum,” n. 2. This document offers other substantial indications for a theological and spiritual understanding of Christian prayer; see also, for example, nn. 3, 5, 8, 21.”

Continued probing for avenues through  the maze presented by current world affairs has yielded the conclusion that Web 4.0 and IPv7 working into a mirror network shows the best chance of bringing some order to the problem.  This position is reinforced by this impression to be included in Triad Phase IV:

• A very long and involved sequence in which a white animal resembling a woolly dog appeared – the animal dominated the local animal population, seemingly brighter than the others.  The animal progressed from being a nuisance to a menace.  Finally, exasperated residents used small arms to kill it, but without success.  At that point an old man appeared, told the people that they could not kill this, it is a form of a universe, perhaps an evolutionary mistake.  The old man challenged it, and it responded with a deep booming voice, accepting the challenge.  The contest went on for three days and the woolly beast pinned the old man, claiming victory.  At this point, the old man produced a rule book which allowed a succession of challenges on the basis the animal had gone out of the envelope of permissible universe behavior.  The animal admitted it had no choice but to accept.  The contest lasted years, possibly a century, at which point the woolly creature died.  Nothing was mentioned about the condition of the neighborhood at the end of the contest.  Following all this several window frames appeared, possibly equating the condition of the 3746 Atwood window frames to the theory of relative motion of inertial frames.

Evaluating potential of a decade or so of probing limits outlined in this site has yielded  very encouraging cues, summarized in these Phase VI impressions.

• The two parabolas of a hyperbola migrated to a tangent position.  At that instant, a highway extending from the point of contact to an indefinite horizon appeared, pointing to the potential of  Ω, the dynamics of folding space. (2-9-10)

• A story that Hell and Heaven were established as a partition separating duties; one set in universe and star formation and the other set in stabilized and mature zones.  A being too old to remember made the division so that temperament and skill sets required to deal with ambient conditions could be focused.  No moral questions were involved.  As a matter of fact, the being in charge of the “hot zone” would take the form of a grazing animal in the mature zone for a rest.  When boredom set in, he would return to his assignment.

• A left hand curve in a railroad running through extreme rocky terrain – The Devil appeared and gave a seminar (2-27-10)

• Several icebergs – Ω – A pile of brand new baseballs – A chap working through some very advanced mathematics with a pencil, not too sharp (3-7-10)
