Author’s Preparatory Comment

Where To Begin -- Again!

I have played a sport called “golf”, competitively. Based upon my experience, I can verbally state that on many occasions, I “choked” -- “my mind” got in the way”. On other occasions, I played as if I had “no mind”; it being what is occasionally called “playing in the zone”.

Yet, there was a third way of playing that emerged when “my mind” pictured the perfect shot and “my body”....in a manner coordinated by “my brain”....performed in accordance with “the picture”.

In those competitive moments, I learned the difference between being in “the action” versus observing “the action”. Both have their “nervous moments”:

*****

Now the curious “thing” about what I have just verbally stated is that absent the presence of what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, I could not make these verbal statements.

Nor could I, the writer of these words, or you, the reader of these words....or any “human” having “words/symbols/images” at his/her disposal....choose (act of selecting) to use his/her “mind” and “verbal reality”:

(i) to analyze the interrelationship of “the body”, “the brain” and “the mind”;

(ii) to determine what it means to play “in the zone” or to “choke”; or,

(iii) to strive to understand the true nature of “the body”, “the brain” and “the mind” as well as to grasp both

(a) the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”; and,

(b) from whence “they” (these “words/symbols/images”) emerge?

Reference is made to Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge; the first book published by the Center For Vibrational Studies on its website. Best practice is to have read that book first since it is in that book that you, the reader of these words, can learn about Humanity’s Wrong Turn and the challenges humanity now faces in “course-correcting” this wrong turn.

Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge was published in December, 2019, with the promise that during the calendar year, 2020, a series of twelve books would be published by the Center -- once a month: each bearing the title Beneath Words; each bearing a subtitle unique to it.

In January, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: What Lies There, the first in this series of twelve books. In February, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: Sounds/Marks/Vibrations, the second in this series of twelve books. In March, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: A Baby Is Born, the third in this series of twelve books. In April, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: A New Kind Of Thinking, the fourth in this series of twelve books. Now, in May, 2020, the Center is publishing Beneath Words: More To The Point, the fifth in this series of twelve books.

Best practice is that you read each book in the order in which it was published and that you continue this practice with respect to the remaining seven books that will be published once a month from June, 2020 through December, 2020.

Humanity’s Wrong Turn

Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) began treating words, symbols and images as only words, symbols and images instead of treating words, symbols and images as what they really are: sounds/marks/vibrations superposed upon the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue them with meaning (i.e. vibrations with meaning).

When Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) adopted a way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” (current kind of thinking) embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”....giving no “thought” to the fact that all “words/symbols/images” are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning pointing (like signs) to the vibrations that lie beneath them.

In other words, Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when humanity (or, more particularly, its members) turned a “deaf ear” and a “blind eye” to their true nature (vibration) and the true nature (vibration) of their:

“bodies/brains”,

“words/symbols/images”,

“verbal realities/minds”,

“projections/measurements/thoughts”

“verbal statements/stories”.

Humanity’s Challenge

This book is the fifth book in the twelve-book series. This book and the remaining seven books elaborate upon the new kind of thinking about which I write and to which you, the reader of these words, have been introduced in the preceding four books of this twelve-book series.

Each of these twelve-books sets forth this new kind of thinking for the purpose of course-correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

This course-correcting being quite the challenge since it does require a new kind of thinking that supplements (and complements) the current kind of thinking in which Humanity and each of its members are currently being schooled; a current kind of thinking that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as being only “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image”....nothing more.

Current Kind Of Thinking

Admittedly, this current kind of thinking in which Humanity is now being “schooled” is responsible for many “advances” that are unique to “our species” when compared to other species.

Yet, this current kind of thinking has also led to many problems that cannot be solved using it; some of these problems relating to the extinction of many “species” that have lived on our planet (“Earth”) and the possible extinction of many more “species” including, potentially, even “us” through what can be thought of as “eradication” through “war”, “global warming”, the “carbon footprint”, “disease”.

Problems that require a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling”:

A new kind of thinking that treats vibration as being the true nature of all that exists;

A new kind of thinking that educates each of we presences called “human” (as a vibration having his/her own unique vibrating characteristics) in a new way of “healing” and a new way of living together and interacting, interconnecting and communicating with each expression of all that exists (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”).

Problems that led Albert Einstein to state:

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking

we used when we created them.”

Problems that lead Alfred North Whitehead to state:

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge

the symbols on which humanity depends.”

*****

A new kind of thinking is needed.

It being a new kind of thinking

about which I write

This New Kind Of Thinking

(About Which I Write)

This new kind of thinking embraces these verbal statements as facts:

I

Concerning Words/Symbols/Images

What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations:

(i) that emerge from “the body” in the form of a sound or a mark: and

(ii) whose meanings are associated with the vibrations that lies beneath them.

Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything. Present the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” anything can be verbally stated about anything and, potentially, anything verbally stated in the positive (+) can also be verbally stated in the negative (-)....for example:

I/Not I

God/Not God

I exist/I not exist

God exists/God not exists

God exists (absent the word)/God not exist (absent the word)

I exist (absent the presence of word)/I not exist (absent the presence of words)

More To The Point:

A “baby” is born. Called an “infant”, this “baby” has no “words/symbols/images” at its disposal. To be sure, the “baby” can “coo/cry”, “urinate”, “defecate” and thereby makes its own unique sounds and its own unique marks. Yet, this “infant/baby” emerges at birth with only the potential (p) to produce these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Consider This:

Many “species” perform acts called sounding and acts called marking. For example:

“Bees buzz”; “lions roar”; “coyotes howl”;

“Wolves mark” as do “cats” and “dogs”

(“they mark their territories”)

And, many “species” have their own unique way of producing sounds/marks/ vibrations whose meanings are only known to “them”.

Nevertheless, we “humans” are the only “species” that calls our sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning “words/symbols/images”.

Simply Stated:

These sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “word/symbols/images” emerge from the “body” only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by its “brain” can

(i) produce a specific vibration in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark using the mechanics of “voice” and “hand” (the latter aided by a marking tool applied to a “smooth surface”); and,

(ii) associate that specific vibration with something of substance (a vibrating vibration) that lies beneath “it” and gives “it” its meaning.¹

II

Concerning The Mind And Its Verbal Reality

What are now thought of and called “the mind” and “its verbal reality” are really vibrating existential states created and informed by these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”; it being within “the mind” that these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses through which the “mind” (while dwelling within its own unique “verbal reality”) views and produces verbal statements (stories) concerning what is occurring Beneath Words.²

More To The Point:

What is called “the mind” dwells in a “verbal reality” created and informed by the unique “words/symbols/images” that inform “them”. What is called “the body” and “its brain” dwells in an underlying reality upon which these “words/symbols/images” are superposed.

Simply stated:

The “mind” dwells in a “verbal reality” - Above Words: the “body” and its “brain” dwells in an underlying reality - Beneath Words; these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” serving as a verbal bridge (Bridge) connecting what lies Above Words with what lies Beneath Words....

....each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” being a “bit of information” expressed in the form of a code....

....there being no difference among “words/symbols/images” at their most fundamental of existence....

....each being a vibration with meaning pointing to a vibration that lies beneath them.

III

Concerning Languages And Their Syntax

In addition, to creating and informing these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “verbal reality”, these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” create and inform each “language” and the “syntax” that informs each “language”; “syntax” being the way in which these sounds/mark/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are combined to form “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, etc.

More To The Point:

Not only does an “infant” turned “toddler”, turned “child”, turn “student” have to learn or be taught how to produce his/her unique sounds/marks/vibration with meaning called “words/symbols/image”; he/she also has to learn/be taught how to string these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning together into a “phrase”, a “clause”, a “sentence”, a “paragraph”, a “poem” a “treatise” a “creation story”, a “model of reality”....in a manner acceptable to his/her tribe or community.

Simply Stated:

Each “tribe” and each “community” has its own unique acceptable manner in which the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “its words”, “its symbols” and “its images” are create and inform its uniquely sounded/marked language” is to be strung together thereby informing its “syntax”; this acceptable manner:

Not only being implemented by “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”

But also shaping the vibrational way the “brain” (as a vibration) is interacting and interconnecting (“communicating”), vibrationally, with the “mind”.

This interacting/interconnecting/communicating being a vibrational feedback system.³

IV

Concerning Thoughts, Measurements, Projections

And Verbal Statements/Stories

It is out of “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” that these sounds/marks/

vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge; these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “verbal reality” emerging as these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are emerging.

It is within “the mind” that these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses....

....vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the “mind”, while dwelling within its own unique “verbal reality” -- Above Words....

....views and produces verbal statements (stories) concerning what is occurring Beneath Words.

Each unique “language” and “its syntax” emerges later; only after “the mind” has either learned on its own or been taught to string these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into vibrating linguistic lenses called “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, “paragraphs”, “treatise”, “creation stories”, “models of reality”, etc.

Early on....as an “infant/baby” develops into a “toddler/child”....the “mind” while existing in its own “verbal reality” begins using a “language” unique to “it”.

Later on....as this “toddler/child” gradually develops into a more mature “child”, “student” and “adult”, this “child/student/adult” gradually learns on his/her own or is taught by a teacher the acceptable ways (the acceptable manners) of his/her “tribe” or “community” including (i) the acceptable ways to string together his/her “words/symbols/images” and (ii) the acceptable ways to “think”, to “measure” and to “project” -- acceptable ways that inform the syntax of the language being used.⁴

V

Concerning These Sounds/Marks/Vibrations With Meaning

However....and this is both the irony and the challenge that lies in using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” in any manner including an acceptable manner:

Absent their presence nothing could be verbally stated nor could I have verbally sounded/marked/written these “words” you are now listening, seeing and reading.⁵

Present their presence I can now describe and explain to “your mind” with more particularity this new kind of thinking about which I write and in

which you are now engage....leaving the matter of proof to all twelve- books in this twelve-book series -- this book being no exception.

Something Happening Here

What It Is Ain’t Exactly Clear*

__________

*What is called the “Sunset Strip Curfew Riots” occurred on November 12, 1966. In response, Buffalo Springfield, a band of musicians that included Stephen Stills and Neil Young performed the song, For What It’s Worth. Written by Stephen A Stills, the opening words of the song....particularly these words: “something happening here” -- “what it is ain’t exactly clear”....are timeless since “their message” pertains to all “words”.

A Reminder

Recall these italicized words concerning the many writings that have and will appear on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies. They first appeared at the beginning of the first book of this twelve-book series Beneath Words: What Lies There. Then they were repeated at the end of the fourth book in this twelve-book series. Now, they are being repeated again for the purposes of refreshing “your memory”.

~~~

This book is the first in a series of twelve books that have been written and will be published on the Center’s website. The month in which this first book will be published is January 2020. The remaining eleven books will be published over the following eleven calendar months -- a book per month. The twelve books set forth a journey (Beneath Words) which you can choose to make your journey, Beneath Words, by simply reading this book and moving on from there.

Also appearing on the Center’s website will be a series of papers as well as an archive. The purpose of the series of papers and the archive is to supplement the twelve books with additional writings that I, the writer of these words, have produced along the way while making my journey, Beneath Words; a journey that commenced one night when, while seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing, I entered an existential state in which I experienced not in “the word but beneath “the word”

the sound of running water

The experience was real. In fact, from that moment onward I am always sensing what is now thought of and called a “noun”, “pronoun”, “subject” or “object” as a vibrating something of substance and what is now thought of and called a “verb” as a vibrating act.

Yet, as I soon discovered, writing about these sensory experiences was not easy since to write about these sensory experiences required me to use what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” when what I was really striving to do is dive beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them into what lies beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them.

In other words, in order to write about these sensory experiences that were occurring Beneath Words in my “body” in a manner orchestrated by my “brain”, I had to use the words, symbols and images that created and informed my “verbal reality” and my “mind” to do so....not an easy task.

The first four books of this twelve-book series summarize in the best way I can the lengthy writings appearing in the archive. It is in the archive that you can, by reading the writings located there, experience the struggle I have had setting forth my Journey, Beneath Words in writing.

The next four books expand and elaborate upon what has previously been stated in the first four books; each of these next four books -- in its own unique way -- providing more in depth “color” to what has been stated in the first four books.

The last four book of this twelve-book series are the most tedious to navigate; since each of them -- in its own unique way -- dives deeper and deeper into the true nature of what lies beneath the words and phrases that inform our “languages”; the words, “mind”, “body”, “brain” and the phrases “physical reality” and “source/substance of all that exists” being no exceptions.

Of course, whether or not you choose to embark upon this journey, Beneath Words is your choice. However, my request is that when making this choice to continue/not continue, you remain “mindful” that in each present moment called “Now” you, the reader of these words, have virtually an infinite number of possible choices that you could select -- albeit it may not appear that way in the present moment....the “choice” to continue being only one possibility.

Nevertheless, it is “true” (as you will ultimately discover if you continue on your journey, Beneath Words) that the act that you select in each present moment is involved in the natural selecting process -- the natural process of renormalizing --in which all vibrating presences are engaged....

....that process being a vibrating interacting process by which Vibration (as source/substance) acts upon itself and through all that it creates....

....we presences called “human” and “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our word/symbols/images”, “our minds”, “our verbal realities” and “our verbal statements/stories” being no exceptions.

~~~

Most likely, the words....“something happening here”....were not initially sounded based upon the “thought” that something of substance is always happening Beneath Words.

And, most likely, the words....“what it is ain’t exactly clear”....were not initially sounded for the purpose stimulating those people who were listening to dive deep Beneath Words into what is really happening “there”.

Instead, most likely, these words -- “something happening here” -- “what it is ain’t exactly clear”....were initially strung together by a “mind” in “its verbal reality” for the purpose of producing, (Above Words) a verbal statement/story relating to a particular question emerging with respect to a particular “happening” or “event”.

For example, the question: What is Life?

Or the questions:

What is the true nature of words?

From whence do they emerge?

The next step for you the reader of these words is to move on to Part Five of Your Journey, Beneath Words. However, before doing so, take a moment to examine a vibrating something of substance called “apple” and as you do so strive to really sense this something of substance on which the word “apple” is superposed; taking this moment to really experience this something of substance while “seeing”, “smelling”, “tasting”, “touching” and, yes, even listening to this something of substance.

MORE TO THE POINT

You, the reader of these words, have now completed the first four parts of your Journey, Beneath Words; a twelve-part journey that is contained within a twelve- book series: each book bearing the title Beneath Words; each book having a subtitle by which it can be distinguished.

By now, you, the reader of these words, most likely know that:

The purpose of these twelve books is to introduce you to a new kind of thinking and a new model of reality that I, the writer of these words, embrace and to which you, the reader of these words, are being introduced;

The purpose of your Journey, Beneath Words, being to prove to you that this new kind of thinking and this new model of reality coherently simulates, vibrationally (Above Words) what is occurring, Beneath Words.

By reading the first four books in this twelve-book series, you are now “mindful” that what are now called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning pointing to a vibrating reality in which “your body/brain” dwells, as collective vibrations; a vibrating reality that is always emerging from a vibrating source/substance (Vibration) pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process.

Each of the next four books in this series strings these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” together in different ways so as to give you another perspective of what it means to dive deep beneath “words”, “symbols” and “images” into what lies there.

The last four books in this series contain the most tedious parts of Your Journey, Beneath Words since it is in these parts of your journey that you will be diving very deep beneath these vibrations with meaning into the vibrating reality that lies there for purposes of proving:

(i) how all that exists emerged and continues to emerge from Vibration through this vibrating interacting (selecting) process; and,

(ii) that at the most fundamental level of existence, all that exists is vibrationally alive.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Lao Tzu

Your Journey, Beneath Words, is no different.

Nevertheless

The first step of your journey, Beneath Words

Is and remains the hardest

Since it involves shifting your thinking

From

A way of thinking embedded

Only in “words”, “symbols” and “images”

To

To a way of thinking

Embedded in “sounds/marks/vibrations with meanings”

LINGUISTIC TOOLS

Diving deep Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them is “hard work”, particularly if your mind has been trained to treat each word, each symbol and each image as just a word, symbol or image – nothing more.

Along the way on your Journey, Beneath Words, you (or more particularly, “your mind”) have been introduced to many linguistic mechanics (each a linguistic tool) that I use when structuring a verbal statement.

Each linguistic tool has a purpose: that being to disrupt the cadence of your “reading style” so that, instead of simply skating along the surface of the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that create and inform your “verbal reality” and “your mind” (Above Words)....

....you (or, more particularly, your mind) can dive deep beneath these “words”, “symbols” and “images” (Beneath Words)....

....into the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that “they” are....

....and....

....into the vibrations that are represented by “them”.

*****

In this sense, as you move onward on your Journey, Beneath Words, remain “mindful” that at the most fundamental level of their vibrational existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Each of “them” being a sound/mark/vibration pointing to a vibration that:

(i) lies beneath it; and,

(i) gives it its real meaning.

All of “them” providing we vibrations called “human” with a shorthanded way to interact (“communicate”), vibrationally, in code; these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning being the ultimate linguistic tools.

A POEM

Presented in Free Verse

A Beginning

In the beginning was “the word”

And that remains true for each verbal reality

Created and informed by “the word”.

Yet,

All words and the symbols and images that accompany them

Point to an underlying reality

Upon which each verbal reality is superposed.

Leading to the problem with words and the symbols and images

That accompany them; that being:

Although there are an infinite number of verbal realities emerging

moment by moment,

There is only one underlying reality emerging

moment by moment.

Truth Is:

It is within its verbal reality that the mind dwells;

It is within this single underlying reality that each body/brain dwells;

Each word, each symbol and each image serving as a bridge

Linking all verbal realities (VR) to this single underlying reality (UR).

Leading to the Ultimate Problem that Humanity must solve

If it is to actualize its full “human potential”:

That being to describe/explain (simulate)

Coherently

The “true nature” of each expression of all that exist

Using words, symbols and images to do so.

What are now thought of and called

“our bodies”, “our brains” “our words/symbols/images”, “our minds”

“our verbal realities” and “reality”

Being No Exceptions.

More To The Point

Once they emerge,

Words, symbols and images have a life of their own

As do the verbal realities and minds created and informed by them.

Beneath Words

And the symbols and images that accompany them

There exists only a single reality that is always emerging from

A single source and substance;

A single source/substance whose “true nature”

Lies beneath the multiple words, symbols and images

That can be and have been superposed (projected) upon “it”.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images,

Nothing could be stated about this single underlying reality and

its underlying source/substance;

Nevertheless, this single underlying reality and its source/substance

would still exist -- the former emerging from the latter.

Present the presence of words, symbols and images,

Anything can be stated about this single underlying reality and

its underlying source/substance by a mind existing in its verbal reality.

Which leads to the challenge that

Each of we presences called “human” face

When seeking to simulate what each of “us” is sensing, vibrationally,

In his/her body as his/her body is interacting with this single underlying reality and its source and substance in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

The Challenge:

Each of his/her words, symbols and images are always

Getting In The Way.

Even More To The Point:

Consult any dictionary for the purpose of

Seeking the meaning of a word, a symbol or an image.

And, as you do so, note that its meaning is defined in relation to

Other words, symbols and images.

It is as if these things called words, symbols and images

Are circling above what lies below them.

Which They Are.

~~~

However, this is the point.

Once the mind of a presence called “human” through self-reflection

Grasps the fact that

Each word, each symbol and each image is

A vibration

Expressed as a sound or a mark

Whose meaning is associated with what lies beneath “it”

The mind opens to the fact that its “true nature”

And the “true nature” of all that exist is

Vibration

The letter “v” being capitalized in honor of this underlying presence -- this underlying physical phenomenon -- called “vibration” being

The source and substance of all that exists

This vibrating underling reality (VUR) that exists beneath words,

All vibrating verbal realities (VVR) that exists above words

And the words, symbols and images that link “them”

Being No Exceptions.

Yet,

There is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there

Of proving “true” to each mind

What its body and its brain

Already knows (senses)

A “truth” that each mind can know (sense)

If it would only

Listen.

*Credit these quotes to the website, brainpickings.org and the presentation on February 3, 2019, of its weekly digest: each weekly digest being produced by Maria Popova; each weekly digest opening the mind to what lies beneath it and the words, symbols and images that create and inform it.

Opening Statement

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated about anything. Yet, present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be verbally stated about anything and, potentially, anything verbally stated in the positive can be verbally stated in the negative...a positive/negative potential that can be represented by this simple equation using these symbols:

p:+/-

p = potential

: = act of selecting verbal statement

+/- = positive/negative*

*+/- can also be written t/f

t = true

f = false

For example, presence the presence of words, symbols and images, there exists the potential (p) to produce, verbally, these two statements:

I exist absent the presence of words, symbols and images (+)

I not exist absent the presence of words, symbols and images (-)

Yet, absent the presence of words, symbols and images, neither of these verbal statements could be produced nor could either of these verbal statements be selected as true (t) nor could the other verbal statement be rendered “not true/false” (f) based upon this act of selecting (:)⁶

More To The Point

As to each presence called “human”, this simple formula can be adjusted to apply to his/her human potential since

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated about anything by this presence called “human”; yet, present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be verbally stated about anything by this presence called “human” and, potentially, anything verbally stated in the positive by “him/her” can be verbally stated in the negative by “him/her”...a positive/negative human potential that can be represented by this simple equation using these symbols.

h(p):+/-

H(p):+/-

The symbol/letter/lowercase h standing in for/representing each presence called “human”; the symbol/letter/upper case H standing in for/representing Humanity as a whole.

And, this simple equation also applies to each “mind” of each presence called “human” and the collective “Mind” of Humanity as a whole since absent the presence of words, symbols and images, there would exist no “verbal reality” in which, potentially, any “mind” could verbally state anything either in the positive or the negative, depending upon the words/symbols/images it (the “mind”) selects....a positive/negative human mind potential that can be represented by this simple equation using these symbols.

hm(p):+/-

HM(p):+/-

The symbol/letter/lowercase hm standing in for/representing each presence called “human mind”; the symbol/letter/upper case HM standing in for/representing Humanity’s Mind as a whole.⁷

Now Consider This

Once birthed, a presence called “infant” has a “body” and a “brain” and the human potential (evidenced by this equation: h(p):+/-) to produce within its “mind” verbal statements both in the positive and the negative....an example being:

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images,

I exist.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images,

I not exist.

~~~

So....which of these two verbal statements do you, the reader of these words, verbally select as “true”.

“Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, I exist.”

“Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, I not exist. ⁸

Before you answer this question:

First, consider this series of verbal statements:

Absent the presence of words, symbols and image, these words/symbols/images that appear before you could not have been spoken, written, sounded or marked nor could any “story” be verbally told....no matter whether that “story” be called a “speculative philosophy”, a “theology”, a “creation story”, a “scientific theory”, a “model of reality” or an “equation”, “algorithm” or “bit of information”.

More To The Point: Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you would not have a verbal reality or a mind informed by them. Yet, each presence called “human” (and Humanity as a whole) would still exists as evidenced by each “infant” (a “newborn” called “human baby”) whose physical presence (cooing, crying, urinating, defecating) is obviously present, yet has no words, symbols and images by which to state so, verbally.

More particularly: Once birth, this presence called “infant” would still exist producing “sounds” (“cooing” and “crying”) and producing “marks” (“urinating” and “defecating”); yet having no “sounds” or “marks” called “words”, “symbols” and “images” by which to state so, verbally.

Thus, it seems that there are four relevant questions for Humanity as a whole and each presence called “human” (as a participant in Humanity) to answer, verbally before any verbal question can be coherently answered with a verbal statement; those four questions being:

From whence emerge words, symbols and images?

What is their true nature?

From whence emerges “each mind” and “its verbal reality”?

What is their true nature? ⁹

Then consider these verbal answers to the four verbal questions:

Answers To First Two Verbal Questions: Words, symbols and images emerge from “the body” once “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce a “specific sound” or a “specific mark” and associate that “specific sound” or “specific mark” with something of substance that lies beneath it and with which “the body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

More particularly, what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations that emerge from “the body” once “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can shape Vibration called “Sound” or Vibration called “Light” into a specific vibration and associate that specific vibration with something of substance that lies beneath it and with which “the

body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

Answers To Remaining Two Verbal Questions: What are now thought of and called the “mind” and “its verbal reality” are really vibrating existential states that are both created and informed by these vibrations with meaning; each vibration with meaning serving as a vibrating linguistic lens called a “projection”, a “measurement” and a “thought” through which the “mind” both views, and produces stories about, the underlying reality in which “its body/brain” dwells and their source/substance.

Answers that lead to the following set of questions:

From whence emerge each “body” and each “brain”?

What is their true nature?

From whence emerges this underlying reality in which each “body” and each “brain” dwells.

What is its (this underlying reality’s) true nature

Questions whose answers lead to an infinite number of “stories” which remains in an existential state of potentially: true/false symbolized by the equation

p:+/-

until an act of selection is made by “the mind”; the challenge for all “minds” ultimately being to accept through verbal agreement (a collective act of selecting) the best story.

However, once these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” emerge, there also emerges a problem relating to any “story” being produced by any “mind” in any “verbal reality”....a problem similar to the problem of selecting

Which Comes First: The Chicken Or The Egg.¹⁰

A NEW BEGINNING

Verbal Statement of Problem

Once words, symbols and images emerge, any story verbally stated in the positive by a presence called “human” can also be verbally stated in the negative by a presence called “human” and any story represented as being “true” by a presence called “human” can also be represented as being “false” by a presence called “human”; this “t/f” phenomenon being consistent with these three equations previously presented:

p:+/-

h(p):+/-

H(p):+/-

h = human

H = Humanity

p = potential

h(p) = human potential of each presence called “human”

H(p) = Humanity’s potential as a whole

: = act of selecting verbal statement

+/- = positive/negative*

*+/- can also be written t/f

t = true

f = false

~~~

Problem is that there are an infinite number of stories that can be told by a “mind” in “its verbal reality” since there are an infinite number of words/symbols/images that can emerge from “its body/brain”, leading to the challenge each presence called “human” and Humanity (as a whole) faces:

That challenge being:

First, to produce the best story....the best model of reality....the best theory that coherently simulates the emergence of everything, anything, something and nothing including we presences called “human”, “our bodies”, “our brain”, “our words/symbols/images”, “our verbal realities”, “our minds” and “our stories”

And Then

Have all minds agree that this story is true since the only way for we presences called “human” to prove any story “true” is for our minds, collectively, to accept through verbal agreement that this story is true.

Yet, the problem runs deeper than that since the ultimate challenge that emerges when presenting any “story” concerning the emergence of everything is that:

Based upon the current kind of thinking in which we presences called “human” have been schooled, any “word” selected by a presence called “human” to simulate the source/substance out of which everything emerges is subject to the criticism that “the word” selected is only a “word”.

The result: An endless conflict over which word is the best word, a conflict similar to the conflict that emerges when one mind select the “egg” over the “chicken” in the verbal game of “which comes first”; another “mind” selecting the “chicken” over the “egg”. And, yet, that is the way with words, symbols and images” if the “thinking” being applied lies only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” rather than what lies beneath “them”.

Leading to the need for a new kind of thinking that is grounded in what lies beneath words, symbols and images: the best word being the word that best simulates the true nature of every something of substance; each of these somethings of substance being no exception:

This single underlying reality in which “our bodies/brains” dwell

“Our verbal realities” in which “our minds” dwell

“Our projections/measurements/thoughts”

Our “verbal statements/stories”

Our “words/symbols/images”

In other words, similar to the “story” of the “chicken” and the “egg”, if the emergence of everything is to be explained/described (simulated), a presence called “human” must select which came first....“the word” or “the vibration” that is “the word”. ¹¹

Since any “story” produced requires the use of “words”, let’s start by selecting “the best word”.

The Best Word

Concerning Each Verbal Reality, Each Mind, Each Story

And Their Source and Substance

1

What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning; in their most fundamental state of existence there being no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images” -- each being a vibrations with meaning.

These vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge from the “body” of a presence called “human” once this presence called “human” can produce a specific vibration in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark, using the mechanics of “voice” or “hand” (the latter aided by a “marking tool” applied to a “smooth surface”). Although there are many presences that have the potential to produce, and actually do produce, these vibrations with meaning, we presences called “human” are the only presences that call these vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

2

What are now thought of and called “verbal reality” and “mind” are really two vibrating existential states that are created and informed by these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” but only after these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”. Although there are many presences that have the potential to produce, and actually do produce; these two vibrating existential states, we presences called “human” are the only presences that called these two vibrating existential states “verbal reality” and “mind”.

3

It is within this vibrating existential state called “verbal reality” that this vibrating existential state called the “mind” uses these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the mind both view and produces its stories concerning the underlying reality in which “its body” and “its brain” dwells.

4

Although there is only one underlying reality that is always emerging from one underlying source/substance, there does exists, potentially, an infinite number of these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”; meaning that once these vibrations with meaning can and do emerge from his/her “body” in a manner coordinated by his/her “brain”, each presence called “human” exists in two realities: a verbal reality that emerges from his/her “body/brain” and a single underlying reality that is always emerging from a single source/substance.

5

Thus, the challenge for Humanity as a whole and each presence called “human” constituting a part of Humanity is to produce the best story by which to explain and describe (simulate) this single underlying reality and its single source and substance; not an easy task....yet a necessary task....since if Humanity as a whole or a presence called “human” as a part of the whole is selecting acts based upon “stories” that are not coherent with all that exists, problems arise.

The Best Story

Concerning Each Body, Each Brain, The Single Underlying Reality

In Which Each Body/Brain Emerges And Their

Single Source and Substance

1

An underlying phenomenon -- an underlying presence -- best simulated by the word, Vibration is the source/substance of all that exist: Vibration being the vibrating something of substance to which all vibrations with meaning are pointing as source/substance; each vibration with meaning serving as a sign no matter whether it be called a “sound/mark” or a “word/symbol/image”

Meaning that at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is no difference among words, symbols and images; each being a vibration with meaning that emerges from the body as a specific sound or a specific mark -- its meaning being associated with a vibration that has emerged from Vibration as “source/substance.

2

Vibration acts upon itself and through all that emerges from it pursuant to a vibrating interacting process frequently called a natural selecting process (“evolution”) or infrequently called a natural process of renormalizing -- this vibrating interacting process being the process by which what is called “infinite” or “infinite potential” becomes “finite” (actualized)....this vibrating interacting process being the process by which each vibration emerges from Vibrations having vibrating characteristics by which it can be “identified”

Meaning each vibration is a vibrating bit of information (a vibe) as is Vibration.

3

The mechanics of action by which Vibration acts upon itself and through other vibrations pursuant to this vibrating interacting process is represented by the following “equation” also called the “master algorithm”.

V(P):+/-

V = Vibration

V(P) = In potentia vibrating existential state

: = vibrating interacting process

+/- = positive/negative*

*+/- can also symbolize:

What is real/What is not real

What is true/What is not true

What Is Real/What Is Not Real

In each present moment called “Now”, Vibration acts upon itself pursuant to this vibrating interacting process and produces all that exists in that present moment: each expression of all that exists being a vibration having vibrating characteristics of its own by which it can be identified (sensed); each vibration interacting with all other presences in its surroundings combining or separating or remaining in an in potentia existential state until it either combines or separates....each “vibration” being a “vibrating bit of information” (a “vibe”) that is always interacting and interconnecting (communicating) vibrationally with all other vibes in its surroundings pursuant to the following equation (the master formula -- the master algorithm):

v(p):+/-

v = A vibration as it emerges out of V or emerges by combining with other vibrations

v(p) = In potentia vibrating existential state

: = vibrating interacting process by which acts of selecting emerge

+/- = positive/negative

What Is True/What Is Not True

What is now thought of and called “space/time dimensions” emerge as vibrations interact/interconnect/communicate among themselves pursuant to this natural selecting process....this natural process of renormalizing....that is really vibrating interacting process: there being many space/time dimensions previously emerging space/time dimensions supporting subsequently emerging space/time dimensions; the four dimensions of space/time in which we presence called “human” emerge being supported by previously emerging dimensions of space/time that emerged out of Vibration....there being an infinite number of space/time dimensions that can and have emerged from Vibration consistent with this master algorithm....this primary equation:

V(P):+/-

Bottom Line:

Each vibration is a vibrating bit of information (a vibe) that expresses itself, vibrationally, within a strata of vibrating reality -- each strata having its own space/time dimension.

Thus, once emerging from Vibration, the most basic of vibrations called “strings” (assuming “strings” are the most fundamental “somethings of substance”) produce a “space/time dimension” that is unique to them and supports each “space/time dimension” that emerges thereafter.

Meaning

That for each of we presences called “human”, when making any verbal statement concerning “anything”, “everything”, “something” or “nothing”, it becomes necessary to be both vibrationally aware (“conscious”) of

The space/time dimension of vibrating reality in which “your body/brain” is dwelling;

The space/time dimension of vibrating reality your “body/brain” is sensing; and,

The vibrating verbal reality from which your mind is producing its verbal statements/stories.

In Other Words

Using “your mind”

in a self-reflective manner,

Allow “your mind” to “think” this “way”.

~~~

Beneath Words

Each expression of all that exists existing is a

Vibration having vibrating characteristics that are unique to it;

Each expression of all that exists emerging

Present moment by present moment

For as long as it exists

Out of this underlying physical presence called

Vibration

An emerging that is occurring present moment to present moment

Pursuant to a natural selecting process -- a natural process of renormalizing

That is really a

Vibrating Interacting Process

That acts upon itself in the same manner that we presences called “human”

Act upon “ourselves” and produce

These vibrations with meaning -- the sounds/marks with meaning -- called

Words/Symbols/Images.

Above Words

Each expression of all that exists is a “bit of information” -- a “vibe”

And, in a short-handed manner,

Considered as such

Present moment to present moment

By any “mind” dwelling within “its verbal reality”

No matter what

Its Story.

A NEW KIND OF THINKING

The hardest “thing” for any mind to grasp is that it is just a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) as are the “words/symbols/images that create and inform it as is the “body/brain” out of which “it” and these “words/symbols/images” are emerging as are the “cells”, “molecules”, “atoms”, “particles”, “subatomic particles” and “strings” that create and inform its (the mind’s) “body/brain”.

This awareness begins to emerges within a mind once this “mind” grasps the fact that it and its verbal reality are vibrating existential states that are both created and informed by vibrations expressed as “sounds” and “marks” that emerge from the “body/brain” once “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can shape Vibration called “Sound/Light” into specific vibrations (specific sounds and marks) and associate those specific vibrations with somethings of substance that lay beneath them.

This awareness continues to emerge in this “mind” once this “mind” embraces a kind of thinking (a new kind of thinking) in which all that exists including “it” is a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) that is always interacting/interconnecting (communicating) with all other vibrating bits of information (each a “vibe”).

This awareness continues to emerge within this “mind” as this new kind of thinking reveals to the “mind” (act of self-reflecting) that it and its body/brain are vibrations having the potential to act upon “themselves” in the same manner as Vibration (as source/substance) acts upon “itself”....pursuant to a vibrating interacting process that this “mind” can think of as being a process of renormalizing -- a natural selecting process -- whereby the potential in each vibration and in Vibration is actualized (emerges through vibrating act of selecting).

For it is then and only then that this new kind of thinking reveals to “this mind” that it, its verbal reality, its verbal statements and its stories as well as its “words”, symbols” and “images” and “its body/brain” are vibrating bits of information that are parts of a whole -- the “whole” being a vast field of vibes that are always emerging, have always been emerging and will continue to emerge out of Vibration pursuant to this vibrating interacting process creating and inform multiple dimensions of “space/time” that each “mind” can “know” -- if it would only “listen”.

The Universe Emerged, Emerges

And Continues To Emerge

This Way

Being a vibe and being a part of a whole comprised of all vibes currently existing, the “mind”, once emerging, can sense, vibrationally, that each expression of all that exists (including “it”) is a vibe having embedded within “it” the “information” necessary to sense (to know) how “it” and all other “vibes” emerged; each “vibe” no matter what its “name” or “number” (including the following “vibes) being no exceptions:

Each word/symbol/image; verbal reality/mind;

Each verbal linguistic lens including each projection/measurement/thought;

Each verbal statement/story

Each “algorithm”, “mandala”, “prayer”, “spiritual/religious tradition”

Each other vibrational construct such as a “fabric of space/time”, a “melody”, a “supplication”, a “tradition”, a “habit”,

As well as

Each “body”, “each brain”, each “body with a brain”

“DNA”, “RNA”, a “telomere”, a “synapse”, an “axion”

Each “organism” and each “species” (no matter what their “names”)

Each “cell”, each “molecule”, each “atom”

Each “electron”, each “positron”, “each nucleus”

Each “particle”, each “subatomic particle”

Each “quark”, each “muon”, each “Higgs Boson”

Each “string”, each “thing”

Each “wave” including each probability wave

All emerging out of Vibration pursuant to this natural selecting process, this natural process of renormalizing that each “mind” now understands is a vibrating interacting process by which all vibes emerge.

New Model Of Reality

Using these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”, the “mind” can construct a model of the vibrating reality of which it is a part and in which it and all other presences within it exist as vibes; this “model of reality” simulating how all that exists (including what is now thought of and called the “fabric space/time”) emerge as “vibrating bits of information”.

A Vibrating Model Of A Vibrating Reality

And Its Source/Substance

What is called space and what is called “time” do not exist in an absolute sense. Vibration exists in an absolute sense. What is called “space” and what is called “time” emerge out of the interacting among the most fundamental vibrations; those vibes being what are now thought of and called “strings” out of whose interacting emerge the most fundamental dimension of space/time (each dimension of space/time being another bit of information -- a vibe).

Thereafter, as these strings combine to form other subatomic particles, then particles, then atoms, then molecules, then cells, then organisms....each of these categories of “vibes” are supported by dimensions of space/time emerge through their interacting: each subsequently created dimension of space/time being supported by each previously created dimension of space/time (this gradual unfolding of each dimension of “space/time” emerging pursuant to his natural selecting process....this natural process of renormalizing....that is really a vibrating interacting process by which all that exists emerges from Vibration.

The space/time dimension that supports we “vibes” called “human” emerges as we interact with our surroundings producing what is and can be called three dimensions of space and one dimension of time -- a space/time fabric that is supported by all previously existing space/time dimensions in the order in which each space/time dimension manifested.

Within each space/time dimension, the vibes supported by that space/time dimension interact with each other heterarchically as each space/time dimension and the interacting vibes supported within it are interacting hierarchically; all within a unified, coherent pattern of vibes interacting with vibes and creating other vibes....that process being a creative process out of which a bias emerges....that bias being an historical bias embedded in each vibe and each space/time dimension favoring selections previously made.

Such is the way of Vibration and its vibrating interacting process; a process that acts upon its source/substance and produces all vibes (no matter what their name, number or species) in accordance with this rule (the most fundamental of equations):

V(P):+/-

It being the same “rule” -- the same “equation” -- by which a presence called “human” acts upon “her/her potential and produces “her/her” vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images, “her/his” vibrating existential states called “verbal reality/mind” and “her/his” vibrating linguistic lenses called projections, measurements and thoughts out of which “her/his” verbal statements and verbal stories emerge....there being an infinite number of verbal statements and verbal stories that can emerge (i.e. multiple vibrating verbal realities -- each a vibe)....there being only one vibrating underlying reality (a vibe) emerging from only one vibrating source/substance (Vibration).

Something to Think About

As we move onward.

It is as simple as that

Yet,

It is not that simple since

There is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there.

The matter of proving “true” to the “mind”

What the “body/brain” already knows (senses).

Bits of information that the mind

Can also know (sense)

If it would only

Listen.

9. Consider This

10. The Point

1. Unique Perspectives

When you and I sound (speak) or mark (write) about something of substance, each of us is doing so from his or her own unique perspective.

More to the point: when I, the writer of these words, speak to you, the reader of these words, about something of substance, I am using my language of choice (act of selecting) informed by my own unique perspective. A similar verbal statement applies to you when you are speaking to me.

For example, consider something of substance called “red apple”.

My sense of this “thing” called “apple” is unique to me as is my sense of “red”.

Your sense of this “same apple” is unique to you as is your sense of “red”.

Called “Qualia”, your act of sensing this “same red apple” is different from my act of sensing this “same red apple”.

In fact, if each of us painted a picture of this “same red apple” (in what is called a “colored still life”), each of our “paintings” would be different, informed by our relative spatial/temporal perspectives (special relativity) since no one stands in “your shoes” other than “you” and no one stands in “my shoes” other than “me”.

And, if you and I were striving to explain/describe (simulate) why each of us has a different perspective of this “same red apple” we could not do so, unless each of us had at our disposal the specific sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” that inform his/her respective “language of choice”.

*****

Yet, each of us does have his/her language of choice.

And each of us has his/her own unique way of speaking (sounding) or writing (marking) his/her language of choice from his/her own unique perspective.

In this sense, each of us is using his/her unique sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” for the purpose of....

....explaining/describing (simulating) -- Above Words.

(i) in these two vibrating existential states called his/her “mind” and “verbal reality”; and,

(ii) in his/her “language of choice”

....what is occurring in his/her “body” and “brain” -- Beneath Words.

In other words

When speaking (sounding) or writing (marking) about any something of substance from his/her own unique perspective using his/her language of choice, each of we vibrations called “human” in each present moment is using his/her sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses to produce a “story” about this something of substance as:

(i) he/she is viewing this something of substance from his/her own unique perspective in his or her “mind/verbal reality” (Above Words); and,

(ii) he/she is sensing this something of substance from his/her own unique perspective in his/her “body/brain” (Beneath Words).¹²

2. Speaking “in code”

To be sure, many of we vibrations called “human” have one or more languages that we vibrate (i.e. one or more “languages” that we “speak/sound/write/mark”).

Admittedly, there is a “loss” when a “word/symbol/image” is spoken (sounded) or written (marked) in one “language” -- then is translated into another “language”.

Called “loss in translation”, there have been many writings addressing this “loss” without addressing the fact that each “language” and the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that create and inform each “language” are just superficial ways....

....of speaking in code Above Words....

....about what is happening Beneath Words.

Above Words, what are called “words/symbols/images” are simply “words”, “symbols” and “images” that create and inform a language (the language called “mathematics” being no exception).

Above Words, no thought is given to the fact that “words/symbols/images are really sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning that create and inform:

(i) these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”; and,

(ii) these collective vibrations with meaning called “languages” (the language called “mathematics” being no exception)....

Above Words, no thought is given to the fact that Beneath Words there lies a vibrating reality and a vibrating source/substance (Vibration) to which all vibrations with meaning are pointing.

Above Words: Each act of speaking (sounding) or writing (marking) in any language always involves a sounding or marking (a vibrating) “in code”.

*****

In other words, this speaking (sounding/vibrating) or writing (marking/vibrating) “in code” runs much deeper than cross cultural translations of languages (e.g. translating one or more words from English to Spanish or from Spanish to English).

This same “issue” -- speaking/writing “in code” -- relates to every way of stringing (syntax) these sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning together into a “language” -- no matter whether done/not done in an acceptable manner.

And, this same issue -- sounding/marking “in code” relates to every “word”, “symbol” and “image” -- every sound/mark/vibration with meaning; each of the following words, symbols, images and phrases being no exceptions:

strong/weak/electro/magnetic/gravitational interacting forces

wave function/Schrödinger’s Equation

Planck’s Constant/ehf/radiation

photons/electrons

E=MC2.

particle/wave

atom/molecule/cells

bacteria/virus/organism/body

plant/animal/vegetable/mineral

species/homo sapiens/human/Humanity

constitutions/laws/statutes/regulations/rules

money/equity/debt/financing/GAAP/$/wealth

Even the symbol “1” carries many meanings (e.g. “one is the loneliest number” -- so the Harry Nilsson “song” goes) as does the symbol “+1” and “-1”. As does the meaning of zero -- symbolized by “0” as in

<....-1....0....+1....>

As do the symbols (numbers) “0” and “1” in a logic called “Boolean”. As do the following symbols that inform what can be thought of as either “Quantum Logic” or “Tertiary Logic” (depending upon your “language of choice”):

VP:+/- and vp:+/-

3. First Tertiary Logic; Then Binary Logic

Where do we start?

If you really “think” about this verbal process called “thinking logically”, you cannot start this vibrating process without commencing with an act of selecting. You need a “handle” that you can grasp; this handle being a “word” that you can “hang onto”. In other words, you must choose (act of selecting) a “word” or “series of words” that serve as the “linguistic boundary” (the “boundary conditions -- the initial conditions) for “your logic”.

A similar statement applies to “thinking logically” for the purpose of producing “principles” by which “you” choose (act of selecting) to conduct “your life” or choosing a “creation story” or “model of reality” that you “think” is “true” and applies to “you”.

An act of selecting must occur to make anything real; a fact best evidenced by the formula:

VP:+/-

In which:

The symbol “V”....represents Vibration (as source/substance)

The symbol “P”....represents the potential that lies in V

The symbol “:”.....represents the process by which V acts upon itself (i.e. a vibrating interacting (selecting) process)

The symbol “+/-”..represents “what is/what is not”¹³

In fact, it is pursuant to this vibrating interacting (selecting) process....this Creative Process called a natural selecting process (“evolution”) or a natural process of renormalizing (“selecting”), that you must select from a menu of all potential (all possible) “words/symbols/images” available to you that one word or series of words upon which you will build your “logical thinking”.

The act of selecting occurs first; it being an act that actualizes the potential (p) that lies in each present moment; the potential (p) being a part of the Potential (P) that lies in Vibration.

Only then does

What is (+)/What is not (-)

Emerge as two polarities +/-

These two polarities +/- being represented as 0/1 within this logic called Boolean.

Why The Word, Tertiary?

Using Boolean logic, the question, “Which comes first?”, can always be asked as in seeking to identify “The First Cause” or answer the question: “Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?”. Using a Boolean logic comprised of 0’s and 1’s, the question, “Which comes first?” also applies to the polarities +/-. However, before the polarities +/- emerge, an act of selecting must occur.

The act of selecting comes first -- before the polarities +/- emerge and before the symbols “0” and “1” can be selected to represent these polarities.¹⁴

4. The Act of Thinking

If you really choose (act of selecting) to “think” about “thinking” you cannot “think” unless you have at your disposal “your words”, “your symbols”, “your images” and a “language” created and informed by “them”.

In fact, it makes no difference

(i)what language you are using;

(ii) the acceptable manner (syntax) in which “your language” is used or can be used; or,

(iii) the manner in which “your body/brain/mind” relationship is being shaped by the syntax of “your language”. ¹⁵

Nor does it make a difference how “your language” is translated into another “language”.

What is true is that the formula....VP:+/-....represents the “tertiary logic” by which Vibration acts upon its Potential and produces all that emerges from it:

The symbol “+” representing the physical reality that emerges from V....it being a collective vibration that is real and includes all vibrations that emerge within it;

The symbol “-” representing each physical reality that remains in VP.

The formula....vp:+/-....represents the potential (p) of each vibration (v) existing in each collective vibration called “physical reality”:

The symbol “+” representing “what is selected” by v

The symbol “-” representing “what is not selected” by v

Before anything becomes real, first, there must be an act of selecting....

....this verbal statement being “true” for what is called “verbal reality”....

....this verbal statement being “true” for what is called “physical reality”....

....this verbal statement being “true” for any logic being it called “binary”, “Boolean”, “quantum” or “tertiary”.¹⁶

Each act of selecting -- each “choice” -- that each of we vibrations called “human” makes being no exception.....

....choosing to think about thinking being just one example....

....the act of thinking called “self-reflecting” being a similar example.

5. Humanity’s Problem/Humanity’s Challenge

Each of we vibrations called “human” have at our disposal these sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

These sounds/ marks/vibrations with meaning have emerged out the collective vibration that is his or her “body/brain”

This emergence having occurred pursuant to the same vibrating interacting (selecting) process by which all vibrations emerge.

However, as each of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” are emerging out of a collective vibration called “human”, these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “verbal reality” are also emerging; it being within each “mind” and “its verbal reality” that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols” and “images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections/measurements/thoughts” through which each “mind” views and produces stories from its own unique perspective concerning:

what is real (+)/what is not real (-)

Humanity’s problem lies in the fact that each vibration called “human” emerges with an unique mind; an unique verbal reality and an unique perspective from which it views “reality”.

Humanity’s challenge lies in producing that one “story” that best simulates the “reality” in which all vibrations emerge; each of we vibrations called “human” and his/her

“body”

“brain”

“words”

“symbols”

“images”

“verbal reality”

“mind”

“projections”

“measurements”

“thoughts”

“verbal statements”

“stories” including his/her “creation story/model of reality

being no exceptions

It being submitted that this challenge will continue until humanity course-corrects its wrong turn....

....that course-correcting requiring a new kind of thinking that embraces “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that emerges from each of us in a manner that is unique to his/her particular way of sounding and marking, vibrationally....

....a new way of thinking, vibrationally.

6. A New Kind Of Thinking

(It Being A New Way Of Thinking -- Vibrationally)

Vibration is the source and substance of all that exists.

Vibration exists in an in potentia existential state (i.e. Potential) until....

....Vibration acts upon its Potential (P) pursuant to a natural selecting process -- a natural process of renormalizing -- that can be thought of and called an “evolutary”....

....yet really is a vibrating interacting (selecting) process -- a Creative Process pursuant to

....what is (+) emerges as a “universe”....

....and....

....what is not (-) emerges as a “parallel universe”....

....with other “universes” remaining in the Potential of Vibration (VP)....

....until selected.

Each expression of all that exists that exists in each of these “universe” being a vibration that

(i) emerges from Vibration; and,

(ii) has vibrating characteristics unique to it “species” and unique to “it”.

Vibration acts upon itself and through all that emerges from it pursuant to this vibrating interacting (selecting) process; it being a Creative Process that exhibits a natural bias -- an Historical Bias -- favoring acts of selecting previously made.

All vibrations (no matter what their name, number or species) emerge pursuant to this Creative Process and exhibit this Historical Bias; the following vibrations being no exceptions:

(i) That collective vibration called “reality”;

(ii) Those vibrations called “cells”, “molecules”, “atoms”, “particles” including these vibrations called “strings”;

(iii) Those vibrations called “bodies”;

(iv) Those vibrations called “brains”;

(v) Those vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”;

(vi) Those vibrations called “minds” and “their verbal realities”.

7. More To The Point:

Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, a vibration called “body” still exists; yet, absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning, nothing could be verbally stated by this “body” -- and, most certainly, it could not be verbally stated that:

“I have a body and a brain.

“My brain orchestrates the interacting that is occurring both within and outside of my body as my body is interacting and interconnecting (communicating) with its surrounding reality.

It is out of my body in a manner coordinated by my brain that my words/symbols/images emerge.

I have a verbal reality and a mind.

It is my words/symbols/images that create and inform my mind and its verbal reality.

It is within my mind and its verbal reality that my words, symbols and images serve as linguistic lenses through which I view and tell stories about the underlying reality in which my body/brain dwells.

My mind and my verbal reality are unique to me, having been created and being informed by the words/symbols/images that I am selecting either

(A) on my own or

(B) in a way acceptable to my “tribe” or “community” in which I was birthed or the “tribe/community/group” with which I and my body/brain/mind interact.

There are many verbal realities/minds; each unique in its own way.

There are many bodies/brains; each unique in its own way.

The challenge for Humanity as a whole and each of its members is to produce that one story in the form of a creation story or a model of reality that coherently simulates the emergence of everything, anything, something and nothing....that being “my goal”.

*****

Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, each collective vibration called a “body/brain” would still exists.

Present the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, potentially, anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive (+) can also be verbally stated in the negative (-)....examples being

I/Not I

God/Not God

I exist/I not exist

God exists/God not exists

God exists (absent the word)/God not exist (absent the word)

I exist (absent the presence of word)/I not exist (absent the presence of words)

8. Even More To The Point:

It is within each “mind” and “its verbal reality” that these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, serve as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the “mind”:

(i) views “reality” from its own unique perspective while dwelling in its own unique verbal reality -- a verbal reality comprised of “words”, “symbols” and “images” that this “mind” has selected/not selected; and

(ii) produces verbal statements (“stories”) concerning:

(a) how “it” and “its body/brain” survives/not survives;

(b) what is real/not real.

Simply Stated:

The best formula (equation) by which to simulate how all that exists emerges from Vibration is:

VP:+/-

The symbol P representing Vibration’s Potential (which exists in an in potentia vibrating existential state until Vibration (V) acts upon itself pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process symbolized by what is now thought of and called a “colon” ( : ).

The symbol +/- representing the “polarities” that emerge; examples being:

survive/not survive

real/not real

The Potential (P) that exists within Vibration (V) moment by moment being

(i) best represented by what is now thought of and called the wave function; and,

(ii) best evidenced by Schrödinger’s Equation.

*****

Yet, it is only after the “human mind” emerges that we vibrations called “human” have the potential to adopt this new kind of thinking that supplements the current kind of thinking in which we have previously been schooled; a new kind of thinking that allows “us” to focus upon how we can survive and thrive in a more natural way:

As vibrations having the potential to act vibrationally within a vibrating reality, focusing upon how we are always interacting and interconnecting (communicating) vibrationally with Vibration and all vibrations that emerge from it....

....each vibration acting consistent with this formula

vp:+/-

The potential (p) that exists within each vibration (v) moment by moment being best represented by what is now thought of and called “the wave function” and best evidenced by Schrödinger’s Equation.

9. Consider This:

A vibration now thought of and called a “mouse” senses the “mark” of a vibration now thought of and called a “cat”. The “mouse” does not say:

“Cat here”

Nor does the “cat” say:

“Mouse here”

It is only we vibrations called “human” who can think and verbally state (Above Words) a “survival story” (e.g. “Cat here/Mouse here; Mouse striving to survive Cat; its a Cat/Mouse world we live in....survival of the fittest being the only way.”

For the “cat” and “mouse” it is not a “cat/mouse” game Beneath Words.

For the “cat” and “mouse” and we “humans” what is going on Beneath Words is going on, vibrationally, Beneath Words....present moment by present moment....

....the “mind” while dwelling within its “verbal reality” striving to make sense of what “its body” is experience/feeling (sensing), vibrationally, in a manner orchestrated by “its brain.

*****

To be sure, for we “humans” it can be a similar “game” if we choose (act of selecting) to exists that “way”.

However, there is another way....another path.

*****

Yet, that other way will not become obvious until we “humans” (Humanity as a whole) can embrace this new kind of thinking.

10. The Point

As repetitious as they may seem, this book has remained focused, and the remaining seven books of this twelve-book series will remain focused, upon this new kind of thinking.

For it is only when Humanity (as a whole) and each member of Humanity (as a part of the whole) embrace this new kind of thinking that

Humanity and each of its members will embrace its and his/her true nature....vibration

And actualize its/her/her human potential

Recognizing that each of us has a vibrationally footprint as do all vibrations

Understanding these vibrationally footprints (these vibrating patterns) being the “key” to “surviving/healing/being

vibrationally alive.

[End of Epilogue]

MOVING ON

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Perhaps Nietzche had it “right”; or, perhaps he had it “wrong”. Yet, what is certain, what is true, is that Beneath Words there exists a source/substance that is always present....no matter what that presence is called.

You and your tribe or community or group may call this source and substance by a name that is different from the name that I or my tribe/community/group superpose (project) upon “it”.

Nevertheless, beneath the words, symbols and images that create and inform the verbal reality and mind of a presence called “human” and his/her tribe community or group....beneath the words, symbols and images that create and inform each language of each tribe/community/group and its members... lies a common source/substance.

It is to this common source/substance that all vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are pointing....like flashing “signs”.

That common source/substance being Vibration....

....Vibration acting upon itself and producing this underlying reality in which all presences dwell as vibrations pursuant to the same process by which each of we presences called “human” act upon himself/herself, using his/her body/brain, to produces these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” that both create and inform his/her verbal reality and mind....

....that process being a vibrating interacting process that is always occurring in each moment called Now....

....notwithstanding it is easy to “think” otherwise.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When birthed into “this Presence”, one is able to make sounds; yet unable to speak or to write.

With training the physical ability to sound “words” is achieved; an ability that over the years, with practice, emerges as an art.

With training the physical ability to mark “words” is also achieved and, if fortunate enough to be appropriately “schooled”, this ability to mark becomes an art form of its own, having many “variations” including the ability to “draw” a “symbol” or an “image”….a “picture”.

Soon, if properly “trained”, this ability to sound and mark words enhances the ability to speak, to act, to perform, to create, to work with tools in an ever more sophisticated manner and to self-reflect using words, symbols and images to do so.

Fortunately, I was blessed with parents who valued these abilities, not that either “mom” or “dad” was “schooled” in the halls of “universities”. Neither had a “PHD” or a college diploma; yet each of them saw the value of me, the writer of these words, having an education involving “higher learning”.

So….I acknowledge my parents for instilling in “me” a quest for learning and a deep seated curiosity that allowed me, along the way on my journey, to meet and have the privilege to know many people in all “walks of life”.

I also acknowledge my wives, my children, my partners and my mentors, each of whom has provided me with a learning experience that I, hopefully, returned in some way.

And, I also want to acknowledge a few dogs who through my interacting with them….and them with me….brought forth an understanding that the interacting (communicating) is always occurring “vibrationally” among “all that exists”.

Additionally, I want to acknowledge those masters of the technology world who put in motion a platform that allows me to present this book on this website. But for this platform being created, there would have been no way for this book to emerge in “print form”.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge, you, the reader of these words, for choosing (act of selecting) to dive beneath “your words”, “your symbols” and “your images” into the reality that lies beneath all words, all symbols and all images. It does take quite a bit of courage to make this dive; particularly if you have been trained to collapse this reality into “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and thereby only float along their verbal surface.

CONCERNING THIS SPECIFIC BOOK

The purpose of this book is to three-fold:

First, to introduce you, the listener/reader of these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “image” a sense of what it means to dive deep Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany words into an underlying reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwell -- using these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” in a self-reflective manner to do so.

Second, to set forth specifically the rule by which all that exists emerges; a verbal statement set forth as a “formula” that can be thought of as a “master formula” leading to many supplemental “equations” or a “master algorithm” leading to many supplemental “algorithms”.

Third, to illustrate how the rule works.

The best evidence of the rule being how “the mind” (“your mind”) -- once emerging as a vibrating existential state -- chooses (act of selecting) within “its verbal reality” in each present moment the vibrations with meaning it superposes (projects) upon the vibrating something of substance that “its body” (“your body”) is sensing, vibrationally, in a manner orchestrated by “its brain” (“your brain”.

An orchestration that is occurring, naturally, beneath “your verbal reality” and “your mind” and beneath any “story” you chose (act of selecting) to tell about this orchestration.

A “something happening here” beneath “words” and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany “words”.....although what is happening is not exactly clear”

A “something happening here” that the Center and this book is seeking to make clear - that being what is happening here, beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them, is a vibrational happening

A vibrational happening that is always being vibrationally sensed by these vibrations called “our bodies”, “our brains” and “our mind” in each present moment called “Now”....

....This present moment called “Now” being the only moment that any vibration really has...

....This present moment being the only moment in which “all that exists emerges....

....As weird or bizarre as that may now sound or appear.

In fact, although it may now sound or appear weird or bizarre, what is “true” -- what is “real” -- is that every something of substance is a vibration having its own unique vibrating characteristics and its own history; each vibration being a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) that comprises a “part” of the “whole”....

....not capable of being explained or described since each vibration (each vibe) is a part of Vibration (as source/substance)....

....yet capable of being simulated by we presences called “human”, using these vibrations with meaning called

“words/symbols/images”

POST LOGUE

A REMINDER

The next three books that comprise this twelve-book series will be repetitious of what has been verbally stated in the first five books in this twelve-book series.

Be patient with this new kind of thinking.

It does take a lot of practice to be able to move between the current kind of thinking in which you have been educated into this new kind of thinking.

This new kind of thinking will ultimately supplement your current kind of thinking.

Once having completed the first eight books of this twelve-book series, you will be moving on to the ninth book in the series followed by books ten, eleven and twelve.

The purpose of these last four books being to open “your mind” to what it really means to experience/feel (vibrationally sense)

(i) the collective vibration that is “your body”;

(ii) the collective vibration that is “your brain”;

(iii) the collective vibration that is this “physical reality” in which “your body/brain” dwells;

(iv) Vibration....as “source/substance”;

(v) the vibrating interacting (selecting) process.....as “process”;

(vi) the collective vibration that is “you”;

(vii) the collective vibration that is “us”;

(viii) the collective vibration that is “all that exist”.

¹Note that the sounds and marks that emerge from “your body” are sounds/marks that are unique to you. Note that when speaking or writing a “word”, “symbol” or “image” you are performing acts of sounding/marking in your own unique way. How you sound or mark a “word/symbol/image” is unique to you -- evidencing the vibrationally footprint that you are. As it turns out, no one stands in “your shoes”. Not only do you have a “perspective” that is unique to you; you also have your own unique way of sounding/marking. In fact, a similar statement applies to all forms of “life”; each having a vibrational footprint unique to “it”. (More about this vibrational footprint later when we turn to the subject called Life and answer the question: What is Life? with more particularity....using this new kind of thinking.)

²Each “mind/verbal reality” is unique. See Footnote 1. In fact, many “species” have these two vibrating existential states; however, we “humans” are the only “species” that call these vibrating existential states “mind” and “verbal reality”.

³Your “body/brain/mind” is a vibrationally feedback system. More will be verbally stated about this system when we turn to the subject called Life. See Footnote 1.

⁴This syntax shapes the “brain”, vibrationally; “body/brain/mind” being interconnected, vibrationally. See Footnotes 1 - 3 in that order.

⁵The irony is that “your body” and “your brain” would still exist even if there were no such “things” called “words/symbols/images”; “verbal realities/minds”; “projections/measurements/thoughts”; “language/syntax”; “verbal statements”; “stories”; “creation stories” and “models of reality”. You would exist; however, you would not be able to verbally state in the simplest of ways: “I am human; I am presence; I exist; I have a body and a brain.” Fortunately, most of we “humans” do have words, symbols and image at our disposal, the challenge being to use them in an acceptable way that is vibrationally coherent with “all that exists”.

⁶Recall what was stated in the Author’s Note concerning linguistic mechanics. There is one additional linguistic mechanic that deserves special mention; it

being what is now thought of and called a process of renormalizing -- a verbal process that mathematicians and physicists use to cancel out the “infinite” in order to make “finite” their calculations....a renormalizing process that is much more than it appears to be (as will become apparent to you, the reader of these words should you choose to continue reading this book and each book styled Beneath Words that complement it)

⁷See Footnote 2. Not just a linguistic mechanics, the process of renormalizing actually is a natural selecting process; the symbol : representing this process.

⁸See Footnote 3. Throughout “life”, selections are made; an example being Rene Descartes selecting the verbal statement “I think; therefore, I am” rather than selecting the verbal statement “I am; therefore, I think”. In quantum reality, an act of selecting collapses the wave function as does this natural selecting process called “evolution” as does any renormalizing process. As you will soon discover, should you choose (act of selecting) to continue reading this book, what is now thought of and called “evolution” or a “natural selecting process” or any renormalizing process (be it associated with “the verbal” or what lies beneath “the verbal”) is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process pursuant to which Vibration as the “source and substance” of “all that exists” acts upon itself and through all that it creates. What is Life? Vibration = Life; Life = Vibration. Yet, there is always this “matter” of “proof” -- isn’t there? Of “proving true” to each “mind” that what verbally stated to be “true”, using words, symbols and images, is really “true” Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them.

⁹Note that when selecting any verbal statement as the verbal answer to any verbal statement, it is “your mind” performing the act of selecting; “your mind” and its “verbal reality” being “your” most relevant linguistic mechanic/tools.

¹⁰Recall the question: Which of these two verbal statements do you, the reader of these words, verbally select as “true”: “absent the presence of words, symbols and images, I exists” or “absent the presence of words, symbols and images, I not exists”. No matter what your answer, the point is that your answer is a verbal answer to a verbal question that “your mind” (a vibrating existential state both created and informed by vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”) is verbally answering within its “verbal reality” (also a vibrating existential state created and informed by these vibrations with meaning). More to the point: these two vibrating existential states called “your verbal reality” and “your mind” can change and do change from moment to moment, depending upon the vibrations with meaning that you choose (act of selecting) in the present moment for the purpose of explaining/describing (simulating) what “your body/brain” is sensing in that present moment. The problem (a problem that relates to each of we presences called “human”) is that the sensing of this underlying reality that each “body” is experiencing from its own unique perspective is also an act of selecting that is being orchestrated by “its brain”; each act of selecting performed by the “the mind” or “the brain” actually being a part of a vibrating interacting process (frequently called a “natural selecting process -- evolution” and occasionally called a renormalizing, selecting process)....a Creative Process by which an underlying presence called Vibration (really is Vibration/vibrating) acts upon itself and produces what is real in the same manner as a presence called “human” acts upon himself/herself and produces what he/she verbally states is real (from her perspective). Which leads to the following section of this Book, styled A New Beginning.

¹¹In the beginning, there were no words, no symbols, no images -- no “sounds” and “marks” called “words”, “symbols” and “images” -- no vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. No way to describe, explain or simulate this “beginning” or “reality” or something of substance. No way to attribute this “beginning” or “reality” to any source or substance or process or to any “body”, “brain” or “mind”. However, now we presences called “human” have “our words”, “our symbols”, “our image” and we have “our verbal realities”. So which comes first: the beginning of reality or the beginning of verbal reality. It is a chicken or egg selecting conundrum that will continue to exists -- a verbal problem yet to be solved -- as long as the kind of thinking in which “our minds” are being “schooled” is embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”. Yet, there is another way -- another path -- that being to choose (an act of selecting) a new kind of thinking that embraces “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as a vibration with meaning -- a vibrating linguistic lens through which the “mind” views and tells stories about

“something happening here,

Beneath Words

What it is

Is not exactly clear

Requiring the mind to make a choice (act of selecting); that choice being for the “mind” to select the best word by which to tell what it verbally states as being the best story. Thus, as is true with “reality” (in general) and “life” (specifically) , it always come down to choices; to making a selection that collapses the potential that exists in each present moment....a potential that is occasionally represented by a “probability wave function” that collapses into what is real/what is not real once a selection is made (p:+/-).

¹²Note To The Reader: Remain “mindful” that these sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” that create and inform “your verbal reality/mind” and “your language of choice” are always pointing to the vibrations that lie beneath them: each something of substance (e.g. a “red apple”) actually being a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”; each something of substance being a vibrating something of substance that emerges either directly or indirectly from Vibration pursuant to a natural selecting process which is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. See Footnotes 1 - 3.

¹³Note To The Reader: Note that “what is” (+) can also be represented by the symbol....the number....“1”; and that “what is not” (-) can also be represented by the symbol....the number....“0” (as in Boolean logic -- binary logic).

¹⁴The formulas VP:+/- and vp:+/- answer the question: “Which comes first?”. The answer:

(i) the Potential (P) that lies in Vibration (V) as source/substance; and,

(ii) the potential (p) that lies in each vibration (v) once it emerges directly or indirectly from V and its P

Vibration (V) acts upon its Potential (P), and each vibration (v) emerging from VP acts upon its potential (p), pursuant to a natural selecting process that frequently is called “evolution”; yet really is the vibrating interacting (selecting) process (the “Creative Process”) by which Vibration (V) acts upon its Potential (P) and each vibration (v) acts upon its potential (v)....each act of selecting by V or a v creating a natural bias (Historical Bias) favoring its acts of selecting previously made.

¹⁵See Footnotes 1, 2, 3 and 13.

¹⁶In the language of a “physicists/mathematician”, its all about collapsing the wave function; the wave function actually representing/standing in for VP; the Potential (P) that lies in Vibration (V) that, once collapsing through a vibrating act of selecting produces two vibrating polarities (+/-), allowing a language called QBism to become relevant in its own unique way.

¹⁷There are many writings that will gradually surface on the Center’s website. The writings set forth in the Center’s archive have a specific purpose; that being to demonstrate what was going on in “my mind” and “my verbal reality” as I began to engage in a new way of thinking that embraces “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as being more than just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image”....as being a vibration expressed in the form of a sound or a mark whose meaning is associated with something of substance that lies beneath it. A new kind of thinking that allowed me to embrace the “thought” that it was only after “the body” could produce its first word in a manner coordinated by “its brain” that “the body” emerged with a “verbal reality” and a “mind”. That in “the beginning” of each “mind” and “its verbal reality” (including the first verbal reality and my verbal reality), each “word/symbol/image” creating and informing this verbal reality was emerging from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” as the “body” was interacting with something of substance much more than simply a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image”. As demonstrated by the writings set forth in the archive), my journey, Beneath Words has been tedious -- requiring many different uses of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”. Yet, each writing in the archive in its own unique way offers a number of ways in which you, the reader of these words, can engage in your journey, Beneath Words. Hopefully, you will take some moments to visit the archive.
