Meeting Norman Spencer’s Work

nspencermeeting mr norman spencer’s work (link)
worked on theoryofuniverse “life” & “man” last night.
woke up with the idea to yahoo search “surviving singularity.”
so on june 22, 2003 around 10:10 am i hit the link;
http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=%22survive+singularity%22&ei=UTF-8.
2 of the 4 sites returned were mine and the site listed #1 lead me to: 

1475
Not any physical condition (whether chaos, singularity or other) can kill monads or monadic organisation … for monads are eternal, transfinite beings. Monads survive singularity, for they are beings of singularity … that is, beings of the Absolute.

i read line 1475 first, so i had to go back and find out what “monads” were. when i did i found the norman spencer website and ideas maybe more beautiful than mine. my idea is that the thing at the root of which creates life can survive singularity. he believes “monads survive singularity”  he says

71 Only monads can become aware of qualities.”

so i take this to possibly mean consciousness or a form or part of it survives singularity.he never used a computer; “The pen and the typewriter were the only machines that aided his efforts, and consequently his work has existed only on paper until very recently” so his work and mine were completely independent. but we are so much in agreement, almost detail for detail. except he seems to believe in god. and he “explains” this masterfully by describing faith. all his keywords are my keywords. being fact oriented as ive ever seen it, he explained the nature of god. “Norman Spencer was born in Wellington, New Zealand, November 7th 1921, and died in that city, January 25th 2001, aged 79 years.” “His studies included philosophy, psychology, religions, political science, history and the physical sciences. He had a lifelong involvement with philosophy and mysticism”

the definition of mysticism has been one of the first things you see on my main webpage for years.
also in his work he recognizes the big bang. 



Propositional Network 7. The Network Propositions (a sampling)

1
Existence is an Absolute … an all-inclusive, coherent, integrated whole, of infinite and finite magnitudes.

5
The Absolute expresses itself eternally and in infinite variety.

8
The Absolute must express itself in every possible variation of expression, including expressions of imperfection, voiding and aberration.

9
All aspects of the Absolute are qualitative and infinite

20
The Absolute has an infinite array of awareness centres: These are called monads.

21
Each monad is a qualitative, sovereign presence of the Absolute … a unique individual.

22
All living beings are monadic … that is, the presences of one or more monads.

25
Monads are qualitative and they seek to release and to absorb the quality of enmassed energy.

71
Only monads can become aware of qualities.

74
Monads must undergo greatly varied experience, in order to gain self-realisation.

79
By creative intelligence, monads devise constraints, barriers and all manner of opposition for themselves … as aids to their progressive self-realisation.

80
Opposition causes energy to be concentrated and, by conflict, quality is released from mass for absorption by monads … and, thus, obstacles are means of progress.

6071
Most of us are unaware that our race is undergoing metamorphosis to spiritual state … but this metamorphosis is nevertheless taking place, whether we are aware of it or not.

“The answer is that, according to Norman’s work, 60,000 years is the maximum time our species has left on Earth, for Earth will not be habitable after that time.”



 

My Notes & Refelctions

We do not worship the philosopher, as we should not have worshiped Jesus. Man at that stage needed “God” stories to understand philosophy and gauge moral conduct. We should have worshiped Jesus’ ideas but not made him a God.

An idea that a certain body of work can be referred to by #. A listing which people can agree or disagree and refer to by specific idea by # so millions can participate. Ideas can be discussed globally cause the simplicity makes it easily translatable to many languages (thats if they can understand it, most of the world will not). Short simple high impact statements: “a network of over 11,000 high probability propositions”. We can study things in this way with great detail.

We can then layout our best ideas of what life is based partly on logic, faith and mysticism.

Detailed statements about how we think the universe came into being. Humans may have the capacity to understand enough to figure it all out, what ever “enough” and “it” is. 

A focusing on one specific thing. Something to point at and or use as a universal reference to have debate and gain more knowledge and understanding of, like a set of “universally” agreed upon principles.

An individual can use faith to determine what he believes. He doesnt even have to have evidence or proof, he is entitled to his belief. But he may have to be able to present that belief and defend it fairly if need be, and/or explain it. And he must live by it. Philosophy should be a democracy.

What’s So Bad About Being “Self-First” And “Self-Centered?” (But Not “Selfish”)

IMAG0814You know I thought about it. And I “think about” other people the exact same amount I want other people thinking about me. And deeper still, I often wish people thought about themselves the way I think about myself. I wish people in general were more self centered. And NO I don’t mean selfish and stingy and not sharing or giving, more like the economic conservative idea of take care of yourself and don’t worry about how much someone thinks about you. I never wanted the responsibility of being “thought about”

I don’t think I’m stingy or selfish, but I am very proudly self centered. ( A person can be self-centered and still be willing and capable of helping others.) I definitely have goals and an agenda for myself. There are things I want to achieve and a certain amount of ego and self-first is needed for me to accomplish them. I know I’ve been this way all my life too. And I’ve been told I don’t think about nobody but myself. I don’t think that’s totally true, but compared to the norm I understand why people have said that about me.

Example: I used the word “I” 17 times in this post. And I wish other people had the capacity to speak about themselves in such a way. Its not a “Me Me Me” thing, but don’t be afraid to know and openly acknowledge yourself and your desires.

DAILYS: October 9, 2004: Wishing A President Would Acknowledge Atheists

october 9, 2004
“Atheism would appear to be one of the last minorities it is acceptable to openly discriminate against, right along with homosexuals. Atheists are not allowed to hold public office in four states. While campaigning for the presidency, George Bush stated and later reaffirmed that he did not believe atheists could possibly be patriotic and should not be citizens. The Boy Scouts of America refuse to accept atheists in its ranks, asserting that they cannot possibly grow up into the best possible citizens. Good Christians on the Religious Right proclaim that a conspiracy of atheists and secular humanists is trying to take over this country and brainwash the children – despite our small numbers! Atheism itself is generally ignored in politics and in the media.” from: http://atheism.about.com/library/FAQs/ath/blathq_whyi.htm

the possible next president of the united states publicly acknowledging the rights and culture of agnostics and atheists. just even saying the word atheist publicly is major.

“daddy whats an atheist?”

T-OH! on jefferyTV Post Demo Track

T-OH!-jefferytv-logo-200x200T-OH! is Anthony Paris Sanders, a long time acquaintance and friend of jefferyTV who after 20 years were reunited recently at the 2011 Long Beach Funk Festival. The two knew each other growing up in Youngstown, Ohio (Sanders was a big Slave fan) and met up years later in California. The two were roommates at one point in the early 80’s and have always talked music.

“I ran into Tony at the Long Beach Funk Festival and we caught up on our 2 decades of music experiences.” said jefferyTV. “I told him I can studio engineer a bit and he was always a player so we decided to hook-up. And we did.”

They started messing around drum loops and live instruments and then did songs completely with the MIDI keyboard. Sanders started laying tracks over each other playing different instruments as the two vibed and wrote music on the fly. Sanders plays all the musical instruments while jefferyTV mixes, arranges, sings and contributes energy to the tracks.

“For me, it’s about creating music I personally want to hear. Maybe even a style or way of making music. If it resonates with other people that would be cool (the projects can become larger), but the main goal is to create something I believe should be out there.” -jefferyTV

Smart Is The New Sexy

Me In San Leandro, Ca

Me In San Leandro, Ca

“i think the “smart is the new sexy” or “new rich” trend is replacing the “ghetto fab” fad which has been dominant in media and society. its seems no longer trendy to be dumb, tough and cool and i simply look at it as a passing fad like bell bottoms.”

“tell mr stewart i am a primary example of why the “smart is sexy” trend started!! LOL ive always been able to get along on the street or in academia or at a corporate level and never used toughness or “sexy” to get me by. and i will say this, one time a long time ago like in the 80’s danny jokingly told me i was too happy to be black! LOL to this day i remember that statement cause one i thought it was brilliant and two cause it helped me to better understand how i may be perceived and it explained a lot of the reactions i get from people, both “positive” and “negative” and from white folks and blacks folks. i’ve told that story many times and have used an evolved understanding of that statement since that day when interacting with people.”

” ive never really “fit” (and didn’t want to) into any basic stereotype and have lived with this all my life. and living in liberal california AND since it seems my “stereotype” is very popular right now “my kind” is on the come up!!!! i can get down (on beat LOL) with the best at night in the club and talk physics with scholars and buddy up with CEO’s during the day. i participated in the trendy “ghetto” fad and it was cool, but it was always just a fad to me just like it is to white kids in the suburbs. i never lived it. just like i’ve never lived the life of a scholar or a CEO or a religious saved person or a thug or that of an athlete. 50 years of life and all i know is i have acquired the confidence to be me!! i’m jeffery and “i’m me” and people say that about themselves but i really really really mean i am my own individual self and i love that more than anything! (the prime example is the balls it takes to openly not believe in God where EVERYONE you’ve always known and see even on tv believes).” 

to me that’ s a true freedom and it is magical and euphoric!!!

Transitings 20130212

I installed WordPress Mobile on my HTC Evo Shift so I can blog on the train in the morning when there is no connectivity. I am a geek living in what I feel is the best time ever for a geek. I don’t think I could have thought of a better idea than the internet as a resource for my personality, interests and intentions. I love people, developing technologies for my self- especially free ones, communicating and just about all forms of electronic media (paper use is dying). Social media provides me with a connected, yet isolated platform to exercise, share and explore my opinion and the opinions of others. The idea I can get information on any subject instantly always is a very powerful tool. No other time in the history of mankind has the common person had access to so much data and information.

Facebook Funk Talkin’

image

Whats up man “catch you slippn'” I never thought about it like that I was more focused on that idea of who “they” is as my son is caught up in all that gangsta glam as is many many other (black) kids I see everyday spoortin’ a hard tough mentality. But just let me say also I thought your rhyme to be very good, tight and creative and the “inside the club” line all but blew me away just as the creativity of these kids does but when they start talking that gangsta bullshit to me its wasted thats just a personal opinion like i tell my son you are promoting the killing of your own people would jesus do that? Cause the people in the suburbs are buying the music where the folks in the hood are living it. 

And also the “ain’t they we” is a song title waiting to be written and I believe its mine as I thought it up so thank you for being a creative energy but back to my point that if we get rich by selling it to them it really comes back to us yes i think i know what you mean by dumbed down and the idea of they but i thought about it and they is actually we!

As a side note i said the same thing when C-Kunsphrsy Children Of Production came out years ago gangstering it up under that name which i felt was sacred. So no man i wasn’t coming after you personally but the idea of making that bullshit dumbed down music and it not affecting we or us whoever we or us is. And again i really really liked the rhymin’!!!

Same with the music people be out there calling “Funk.” it REALLY gets me going when any ole music with half a beat is called funk!! ill giive you an example i aint never heard a song by Dam Funk that was funk! I dont want our kids growing up thinking that kind of music is funk! Now im not saying the music (not just dam funk, other musics too) is not good, it is and i like it but it aint funk as was created by the Mothership Connection record and developed by Parliament and replicated by many other groups (a lot of them from ohio like me).

I miss it deeply sooooo deeply and if it wasnt for the fact Mr Clinton continues to tour what would i have? I love the band and the music and realize the touring is more than touring and hearing the music like no one else can play it, its also keeping that Thang alive!! The side projects by Mr Curry, Mr Bedrosian, Mr Payne, Mr Spearman, etc may could not happen if the band wasnt pulled together to tour. The musicians who learned to play P-funk and who have played it for 30+ years would disperse and then what would we have? NOBODY plays the music the way the folks from the P-Funk camp does as that Thang is in them.

LOLOL and i aint one to not have what i want so ive been trying to make the funk i desire myself! LOL its fun and rewarding and i love it to death but i tag it jefferyTV music and not PFUNK1 cause i know it aint got that Thang on it. Even i know it aint funk yet regardless of my intention and im cool with that cause by profession i work in an office and fix peoples computers and am not a musician.

But best believe if i ever hit the lottery and get a budget to produce a funk record i know who and where to go to get that Thang.

LOLOL Yeah and some have called me the funk police as there is no doubt i have a very strong opinion about funk and especially the funk i love most with all my heart coming out of the P-Funk camp. Im just a life long fan with an opinion and the internet as a tool.

And all that “doo-doo” and “baby making” music is also a form of dumbed down as was the awesome power record thats just my opinion and i want so desperately for my heroes to make that breakout hit it aint got to be super high conscious music but damn have some kind of inspiration in it.

So what yall be doing in that studio is very important to me as i know NOBODY makes the music better than P-Funk
