Author’s Preparatory Comment

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.

Simply stated: 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”.

A new kind of thinking is needed; a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” that is embedded in these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning; it being a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” in which you can now be “schooled”.

*****

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 who interact (communicate), vibrationally.

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 requires 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”).

*****

Yet, there is always the matter of proof isn’t there;

This burden of proving “true” to “the mind” what

The “body” and “its brain” already knows

And

What the mind can know if it would only

Really “listen” and really “see”

Word/symbols/image

For what they

Are:

Sounds/Marks/Vibrations With Meaning

Diving deep, Beneath Words, is not easy; particularly if “your mind” has been educated (current kind of thinking) to treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as only “words”, “symbols” and “images” rather than educated (new kind of thinking) to treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as sounds and marks (vibrations) pointing to the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue them with meaning.

In other words, diving deep, Beneath Words, is a difficult journey; particularly if one of its goals is to course correct Humanity’s Wrong Turn.*

Linguistic mechanics are needed to facilitate this journey, Beneath Words, and to experience this new kind of thinking.

The linguistic mechanics used in my writings are mostly simple linguistic tools -- two examples being:

The phrase: now thought of and called

The word, “called”.

Other examples are quotation marks (“ ”), different forms of print (bold, italic, bold italic), four dots (....), some dashes (--), a forward facing slant (/), footnotes and a dividing of a complex verbal statement into multiple parts (frequently in a downward stair stepping manner indicating a deeper dive, beneath words, is occurring).

The purpose of these simplistic linguistic tools being to disrupt the normal cadence (the rhythm) of your reading style so that you can focus your mind

....not only on the specific word highlighted by the linguistic tool....

....but also on the vibration that lies beneath it and to which the highlighted word is pointing (as a sign).

__________

*Many of the “words” appearing in this comment are lifted from Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge; the first book published by the Center.

However, there is one linguistic tool that I will be introducing along the way that is initially quite difficult to understand; that being a natural process called renormalizing....a natural selecting process....that is really much more than a linguistic tool.*

__________

*In mathematics and in any model of reality supported by mathematics, the process of renormalizing is thought of as being a linguistic mechanic by which pesky “infinities” are cancelled out for purposes of allowing “finite” mathematical calculations to be made. However, as will become evident if you choose to read the many books and papers appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website, this process of renormalizing is much more than a simple linguistic tool; it being representative of a vibrating interacting (selecting) process (a Creative Process) by which “all that exists” emerges and exhibits a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made.

A Request

Please keep “in mind” these preparatory words as you, the reader of these words, move onward in your Journey, Beneath Words. To “remind” you, these “preparatory words” will be repeated over and over again and again throughout my writings.

Also, please keep in “mind” that when you are speaking, writing, listening or reading “words/symbols/images”, you are always doing so in code since what you now know (assuming you have read my first book, Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge) is that, at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”:

Each “word/symbol/image” being a vibration that (i) is expressed in the form of a sound or mark and (ii) points to the vibration that lies beneath “it” and gives “it” its meaning.

Learning to listen to and read these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” being Humanity’s real challenge.

YOUR JOURNEY, BENEATH WORDS

Your Journey, Beneath Words is comprised of twelve parts; each part of your journey being set forth, sequentially, in this series of twelve books. This Book is the first in a series. In this sense, each of these twelve books comprises a part of your journey.

Each book in this twelve-book series bears the title, Beneath Words as does each part of your journey. Each book is distinguished by a subtitle as is each part of your journey. For example, this book bears the title: Beneath Words, What Lies There as does Part One of your journey.

This Book is comprised of four parts. Part One of this Book sets forth a Prologue; this Prologue providing a brief explanation of how my “mind” opened to the possibility of there being another way to “think” about “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Part Two of this Book sets forth Part One of your journey as well as its Itinerary: the itinerary serving as a “map”; its purpose being to give you, the reader of these words, a sense of the territory through which you will be journeying.

Part Three of this Book sets forth an Epilogue; this Epilogue doing what all epilogues are meant to do: expand upon (“round out”) what has previously been verbally stated. Part Four sets forth a Post Logue; the Post Logue providing an overview of what you will be experiencing on your journey.

The balance of this Book “sets the stage” for your moving on to the next book and the next part of your journey also offering a few Acknowledgements and some Suggested Readings for your consideration.

Concerning the writing of this Book, Part Two and Part Three were written first as was the segment of this Book entitled Moving On. Part One and Part Four of this Book were written later; their purpose being to provide a context for both “my writing” and each part of Your Journey, Beneath Words. Writing this book in this manner can lead to what appears to be quite a few “repetitions” (i.e. stating the “same thing” over and over again and again). Yet, for reasons stated elsewhere, I do find this repetition necessary.

PART ONE: THE PROLOGUE

“We die. That may be the meaning of life. We do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” Toni Morrison

An Opening

This book is the first in a series of twelve books that are being published by the Center For Vibrational Studies on its website:

www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

Each of these twelve books bears the title, Beneath Words©. Each of these twelve books serves as a sequel to the book, Humanity’s Wrong Turn, Humanity’s Challenge©.

Collectively, these twelve books represent the culmination of a journey that I, the writer of these words, embarked upon many years ago.

I call this journey: my journey, Beneath Words; it being a journey that you, the reader of these words, can make your journey, Beneath Words by simply reading these twelve books in the order in which they are published (the best practice) or by simply reading at least one of the twelve books, then visiting the Center’s Archives and reading the short papers and lengthy manuscripts that appear there.

Concerning my journey, Beneath Words:

Throughout my life, I have sought an understanding of what it means to be “alive”; to understand what is this “thing” called “life” that I have been given by my parents....or, more particularly, by my dad’s “sperm” and my mom’s “egg” -- similar to a “seed” being “germinated”.

This “seeking” was initially done through my writing in journals and producing manuscripts of great length. Yet, the words, symbols and images that I selected to inform these writings simply failed to capture what I was seeking (i.e. to really understand what it means to be “alive”).

The first “opening” occurred when I began to understand that “words”, “symbols” and “images” were more than what “they” appeared to be. That instead of being just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more; they were really sounds and marks called “words/symbols/images” whose meaning were associated with what lay beneath “them”.

The next “opening” occurred when I began to understand that “each sound” and “each mark” called “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” was really a “specific vibration” -- a function of vibration called “sound” (if spoken/sounded) or a function of vibration called “light” (if written/marked).

Then came the awareness that, although many “species” of “life” sounded and marked, we “presences” called “human” were the only “species” that called our sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

However, it was not until one night -- while seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing concerning the activities of the day -- that, suddenly, I found “myself” listening to the “sound of running water” and realizing that I was, in fact....

....superposing the words: “sound” “of” “running” “water”....

....upon “something of substance” that was really occurring beneath those “words”.

In other words, much like a stenographer writes in “short hand” for the purpose of transcribing what is being verbally stated; I was using my “words”, “symbols” and “images” in a “shorthanded” manner to describe/explain (simulate) what was occurring beneath “them”.

It was then....or shortly thereafter....that I understood that....when using “words”, “symbols” and “images”, all of Humanity was speaking in code as was I, the writer of these words.

It was then....or shortly thereafter....that I understood that Humanity had made a wrong turn a long time ago when it began treating “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only a “word”, “symbol” and “image”....nothing more.

It was then....and only then....that I began to dive deep Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them into what lies there for the purpose of course correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

More To The Point:

We presences call “human” speak/write in code concerning our sensory experiences of:

(i) the physical reality in which we dwell; and,

(ii) the source and substance of this physical reality.

Something is sensed in the “body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain” and then a “word” emerges and is superposed upon this something sensed; the “mind” (while existing in “its verbal reality”) using “the word” as a linguistic lens through which “the mind” views and produces verbal statements (“stories”) concerning whether this something sensed is: Real/Not Real

In other words, what is really happening is that “the word” is serving as a bridge connecting in a shorthanded, coded manner

The story produced by the “mind” -- Above Words.

with

The sensed something experienced in the “body/brain” -- Beneath Words.

There being no thought given by the “mind” to these facts:

A

That “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations expressed in the form of sounds/marks whose meanings are associated with the vibrations that lay beneath “them” and to which they point -- like signs.

B

Each “mind” and “its verbal reality” are really two vibrating existential states created and informed by these vibrations with meaning; each vibration with meaning equating to a vibrating linguistic lens called a “projection”, a “measurement” or a “thought” through which the mind views and produces, vibrationally, “stories” concerning “itself” and

....the collective vibration called “its body/brain”....

....the collective vibration called “physical reality” in which all

“bodies” and all “bodies with brains” dwell....and....

....Vibration as source/substance.

C

It is only through the use of these vibrations with meaning that inform “its verbal reality” that a “mind” can --from its own unique perspective (Above Words) --strive to simulate what lies Beneath Words....

....simulation being the only way to use these vibrations with meaning since “they” are a vibrating part (a vibration) of a vibrating whole (Vibration).....

....the ultimate challenge for a mind being to convince all other “minds” that its simulation is the best simulation (i.e. is accurate....can be proved “true”).

*****

And that is where the “irony” lies when using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”; that “irony” being there is, verbally, no way to produce this best simulation except through the use “them”.*

__________

*The role of the “physicists” is to produce this best simulation. The scientific method used involves this process called “renormalizing” by which “bothersome infinities” are cancelled out in favor of establishing a set of “boundary conditions” within which mathematical calculations can be made. Using a current kind of thinking, these “physicists” as a group have determined that in order to prove the existence of any “thing”, the “thing” must be measured as vibrating. The new kind of thinking about which I write complements this current kind of thinking by treating this “thing” as a vibration....e.g. instead of being called a “vibrating string” (string theory)....its a vibration called “string” having vibrating characteristics.

PART TWO: YOUR JOURNEY

“Words mean. Words point. They are arrows. Arrows stuck in the rough hide of reality.” Susan Sontag

Your Journey, Beneath Words is a verbal journey; a journey in which you (or, more particularly, “your mind”) will be introduced to this new kind of thinking about which I write; a new kind of thinking that treats each “mind” and “its verbal reality” as a collective vibration created and informed by these sound/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”....

....a new kind of thinking that uses these sounds/marks vibrations with meaning for the purpose of diving deep beneath them into their source and substance (Vibration) and into the collective vibration (called “reality”) in which “your body/brain” dwells as a collective vibration along with all other vibrations....

....a collective vibration comprised of vibrations now thought of and called “particles”, “atoms”, “molecules” and “cells”....

....a collective vibration that can be thought of and called a vibrating field in and out of which these vibrations called “particles”, “atoms”, “molecules” and “cells” come and go.

More particularly, your Journey, Beneath Words is a verbal journey presented in code since that is the way these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” work; their evolutionary role being to stand in for/represent what lies beneath them.

In fact, you can “think” of each sound/mark/vibration with meaning being a “bit of information” (a vibe) representing a vibration that lies beneath it.

One of the challenges you (or, more particularly, “your mind”) will be facing along the way is “learning” this new kind of thinking. To facilitate this learning process, your journey is divided into twelve parts; each part “teaching” this new kind of thinking in its own unique way.

Another challenge you (or, more particularly, “your mind”) will be facing is learning to treat this new kind of thinking as being complementary to (not replacing) the current kind of thinking in which you have been trained.

A third challenge is having “your mind” accept the fact that “it” and “its verbal reality” are really vibrations (expressed as vibrating existential states) as are “your body” and “its brain”; the latter (“your brain”) having the following evolutionary roles:

(i) To orchestrate the interacting that “your body” is experiencing as it is interacting, vibrationally, with its surroundings;

(ii) To coordinate the emergence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “your words”, “your symbols” and “your images” that create and inform these two vibrating existential states called “your mind” and “your verbal reality”.*

A fourth challenge is having “your mind” accept the fact that although all vibrations (no matter their “name”, “number” or “species”) interact (communicate) vibrationally, we vibrations called “human” are the only vibrations that interact (communicate) between and among “ourselves” using what we now call “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

__________

*By orchestrate, I mean “shaping/constructing” your body’s interacting with its surroundings into vibrating patterns. Your body and your brain have evolved, vibrationally, into their current vibrating existential states. Your body is always interacting vibrationally with its surroundings. Your brain shapes/constructs this interacting into vibrating patterns thereby allowing your body to survive. By coordinate I mean facilitating the emergence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning and the emergence of your verbal reality/mind through the mechanics of your voice and your writing hand, thereby allowing you to survive and thrive -- the latter mechanic (“your writing hand”) being aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface. Perhaps the hardest part of your journey will be to grasp this distinction. Or it may be that the hardest part of your journey is to imagine what it would be like for you to have no “words/symbols/images” and no “verbal reality/mind”. As you gradually move onward in your Journey, Beneath Words, these “hard parts” will be overcome....become easier....gradually disappear. My request: Just exercise patience with my incessant repeating of certain verbal statements along the way; it being “true” that a prerequisite to learning/being taught a skill in any endeavor requires practice -- practice -- practice. Learning this new kind of thinking is no exception.

1. Concerning Books

(In General)

Before you can write a book, you must be able to produce the words, the symbols and the images that inform the book. A similar statement applies to any story you are seeking to tell. In order to produce a book or a story (no matter what the subject), you must become a wordsmith.

You can observe an infant at birth and note that this infant has no words, symbols and images at its disposal. Although this infant is present, this infant, at birth, cannot produce any words, symbols and images in spoken or written form.

Ultimately, the infant, if healthy, develops into a toddler -- a child -- a student -- an adult. And, along the way, he/she learns how to produce his/her first word and the many words, symbols and images that follow (both spoken and written).

Armed with words, symbols and images, the infant turned toddler, child, student, adult has the potential to produce his/her first book and many more.

As is evidenced by the numerous books that have been written and the many stories that have been told, there have been many infants that have developed into wordsmiths.

Yet, what I, the writer of these words, have found interesting is that despite the many books and stories circulating from present moment to present moment, there is no verbal agreement among we presences called “human” as to how the first word emerged.¹

2. Concerning Words, Symbols And Images

Words, symbols and images serve as a verbal bridge linking what lies Beneath Words to what lies Above Words. Beneath Words exists a physical reality that is always emerging from a physical source and substance in each present moment called “Now”; it being in this physical reality that each body and each body with a brain dwell. Above Words exist each mind and its verbal reality; a verbal reality and mind created and informed by words, symbols and images.

Words emerge from the body but only after the body can, in a manner coordinated by its brain, produce the word, in the form of a sound or a mark using the mechanics of voice or hand, the latter being aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface. A similar statement applies to symbols and images.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated about anything nor would this verbal bridge exists nor would any mind and its verbal reality exist. Present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can also be verbally stated in the negative as evidenced by these words:

True/Not True

False/Not False

Real/Not Real

Fake/Not Fake

God/Not God

A word serves as a short-handed way for the mind (while existing in its verbal reality) to refer to something of substance that lies beneath the word; a “something of substance” to which the word is pointing. For example, the “something of substance” called “tree” exists Beneath Words, independent of the word “tree” that is superposed upon “it”; a similar statement being applicable to each “something of substance” -- be that “something of substance” called a “body”, “brain”, “mind”, “infant”, “cell”, “molecule”, “atom”, “particle”, etc.

For each something of substance called an “infant”, learning how to produce words, symbols and images comes first. Then comes the mind and its verbal reality. Then comes the ability of the mind within its verbal reality to string words, symbols and images together in the form of phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, verbal statements, verbal stories, and books; each word, symbol and image equating to a linguistic lens through which the mind while existing in its verbal reality (Above Words) views what is occurring as its body is interacting with its surroundings in a manner orchestrated by its brain (Beneath Words).

For we presences called “human”, it has become relatively easy to exist Above Words in our individual and collective “verbal realities/minds”. Easy for a “mind” dwelling within its “verbal reality” to interact (communicate) verbally with one or more other “minds” dwelling in their “verbal realities”. Easy for one group of “minds” dwelling in its collective “verbal reality” to set off against one or more other group of “minds” dwelling in their respective, collective “verbal realities”.

Easy relative to the difficulty that a “mind” experiences when striving to dive deep Beneath Words into the underlying reality that lies there and its source and substance. Easy relative to the difficulty that each “mind” experiences when it strives to dive deep beneath the words, symbols and images that both create and inform “it” and “its verbal reality”. Easy relative to the difficulty that a “mind” experiences when it seeks to understand the “true nature” of “words”, “symbols” and “images”....using “words”, “symbols” and “images” to do so.

3. The Fundamental Challenge Involving

Words, Symbols And Images

For we presences called “human”, the fundamental challenge remaining to be met by “our minds” is to produce, collectively, a model of reality that answers in a coherent manner these fundamental questions:

I

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of each “mind” and its “verbal reality”?

How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of each “body” and each “brain”?

How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality?

How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

~~~

Think of this fundamental challenge in this way.

Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, “your mind” and “its verbal reality” would not exist nor would there be any way for “your mind” (i) to communicate verbally (Above Words) about what is occurring Beneath Words or (ii) to answer verbally these fundamental questions.

Present the presence of words, symbols and images, there are many ways for “your mind” to verbally communicate (Above Words) about what is occurring Beneath Words....each way being a function of the “words/symbols/images” selected.

Using “their minds”, many “mystics” have used “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” with the goal of answering these fundamental questions as have many “philosophers”, “theologians”, “meta-physicists” and “physicists”. And, many of these “mystics”, “philosophers”, “theologians”, “meta-physicists” and “physicists” (each a “wordsmith”) have done so attributing the emergence of “the word” to another “word” (e.g. “Consciousness”, “Universal Mind”, “Mother”, a “deity”).

....with no “thought” being given to the fact that what is now thought of and called a “word” is really a “sound” or a “mark” -- or, more specifically, a vibration -- whose meaning is associated with what lies beneath it.

....with no “thought” given to the fact that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning are always emerging from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” as “the body” is interacting with “its surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

Simply stated: Words, symbols and images are vibrations expressed in the form of sounds and marks. They emerge from the body in a manner coordinated by its brain. They gain their meaning from the underlying somethings of substance to which they are pointing. Although many “species” can produce these vibrations with meaning, we presences called “human” are the only “species” that calls these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Fortunately, somewhere along the evolutionary trail, a presence produced the first vibration with meaning....the first word. Thereafter, somewhere along this evolutionary trail, two or more presences learned on their own to combine two or more vibrations with meaning into a vibrational code -- a message that only they and other members of their species understood.

What makes we presences called “human” unique is not the fact that we produce these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. Rather, what make we presences called “human” unique is how we (both individually and collectively) string together these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning into our vibrational codes (e.g. our stories and our books).

Yet, that is only the beginning

4. My Own Unique Perspective

Yet, that is only the beginning, since when I (or, more specifically, “my body” in a manner orchestrated by “my brain”) sense “something of substance” -- no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”, I sense it from my own unique perspective. In other words, no one other than me has my unique perspective since no one other than me “stands in my shoes”....occupies “my body” or has “my brain” or “my mind”.

In this sense, when I sense something of substance called a “rose”, I sense it from only my perspective (Qualia). And I do so from my own unique perspective relative to each other perspective (Relativity), recognizing my perspective is changing present moment to present moment relative to every other perspective.

In this sense, each other presence called “human” does the same....senses in his/her body (in a manner orchestrated by his/her brain) what is now thought of and called “the rose” from his/her unique perspective in each present moment called “Now”, leading to the phenomenon that what is called a “rose” by each presence called “human” does not equate to the same sensory experience....a

sensory experience that is changing present moment to present moment.

Thus....from present moment to present moment....the sensory experience that I call “sensing a rose” is not (and never is) the same sensory experience that you, the reader of these words, call “sensing a rose”....as weird or strange as that may sound or appear.

Yet, it is relatively easy for each mind (while dwelling in its verbal reality) to simply treat the “rose” as just a “rose”, rather than recognizing that it (the “mind”) emerged from a body (“its body”) that senses the something of substance called “rose” in its own unique way....a way orchestrated by “its unique brain”.

5. The Point

When answering these fundamental questions, each answer must be verbalized in such a way that it (the answer) is coherent from all perspectives existing in each present moment and from moment to moment. Thus, when any presence called “human” is striving to answer these fundamental questions using words, symbols and images, he/she (including me) must be mindful of the fact that the words, symbols and images that he/she is selecting in each present moment to represent the physical reality that he/she is experiencing from his/her own unique perspective in that present moment is only relevant in that present moment from his/her unique perspective.

More To The Point: There are many books that have been published and will be published, using words, symbols and images to do so. To be credible, each book must answer each of these fundamental questions from all perspectives, recognizing that each perspective is changing moment by moment; failing which it is only one unique perspective....

...a “story” that is “told” while circling in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and what lies above “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”....

....just one person’s view.

Even more to the point: For any book striving to meet this Fundamental Challenge, to be credible, it must answer each of these fundamental questions in the order in which they are presented, since until a writer can answer the first two fundamental questions, he/she will only be skating along the surface of his/her words, symbols and images...circling (Above Words) over what is happening in and to his/her “body” (Beneath Words)....

....with no mind being given to the fact that each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” is a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that points to Vibration being the true nature (the source/substance) of all that exists.

This verbal statement being “true” for each “wordsmith” (including each “physicists” and each “meta-physicists”) striving to meet this Fundamental Challenge:

Until he/she dives deep into the “sound” -- the “mark” -- the vibration -- that creates and informs “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”, he/she will only be skating along the surface of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”, missing their true nature and their true meaning.

Concerning This Specific Book

This book is the first in a series of twelve books published on the Center For Vibrational Studies website: www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

Each book appearing on this website has been written by me, the writer of these words, and the author of this specific book.

Each of these books has within its title the word, Beneath Words; each book in it own unique way presenting a new kind of thinking that (i) answers each these fundamental questions in a coherent manner and (ii) informs a new model of reality that simulates the emergence of “everything”, “anything”, “something” and “nothing”....based upon these answers.²

Admittedly, each of these books will appear, and frequently is, repetitive of what is being verbally stated in the other books. Nevertheless, the new kind of thinking and model of reality that each book presents is identical both in substance and in process; each book being a bit different due to this phenomenon of uniqueness (Qualia) that I, the writer of these words and the author of these books, am always experiencing present moment by present moment relative to all other presences (Relativity) in that moment.

In other words, as hard as I may try not to do so, I can only write from my unique perspective present moment by present moment: each present moment providing another unique perspective of what is going on Beneath Words present moment by present moment.

Thus, although each book, in substance and in process, is identical, each book presents words, symbols and images in a different sequence for the purpose of answering each of these fundamental questions from a different perspective.

7. Author’s Note

My hope is that at least one of these books opens “your mind” to the new kind of thinking and the new model of reality presented in each book.

Admittedly, my writing style is complex. And, perhaps this complexity will turn you, the reader of these words, away from this book and the other books that I, the writer of these words, have written.

Yet, if you take a moment to sense....from your own unique perspective....that each “word”, “symbol” and “image” that you produce is a “sound” or a “mark”, you will be on your way....

....diving beneath “words”, “symbols” and “image” into the “sounds” and “marks” (the “vibrations”) that create and inform them....

....then diving deeper into the vibrating reality and its vibrating source and substance to which all “words”, “symbols” and “images” point.

You will be on your journey, Beneath Words.

To Continue/Not Continue

The choice (act of selecting) is yours. However, whether or not you choose to continue onward in this journey, always keep in mind this verbal statement:

“Life” is “complex” if you choose to address the subject of “Life” from only your own unique perspective within the boundaries of your verbal reality and mind (Above Words). However, you always have the choice in any present moment called “Now” to enter an existential state called “no mind”; a state absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, thereby allowing you to sense the “sounds” and “marks” that dwell there as well as the presences that are making “them” (Beneath Words).

~~~

Keeping these “words” in “mind”, let’s move on.

8. Some Linguistic Mechanics

Every book tells a verbal story from the unique perspective of its author. Each of the books appearing on the Center’s website is no different in that regard. However, if not careful, what frequently occurs when reading a book is that the reader simply floats along the surface of the words, symbols and images that inform the book....as does the author who wrote the book.

In other words, within the covers of most books, no thought is given to these two fundamental questions:

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

Nor is any consideration given to the true nature of the underlying reality out of which words, symbols and images emerge and to which words, symbols and images point.

To avoid missing this point, each book appearing on the Center’s website uses certain linguistic mechanics that are meant to disrupt the cadence of “your reading style” so that you can learn to focus not only on the words, symbols and images that inform the book but also upon the underlying somethings of substance to which these words, symbols and images are pointing.

As should now be apparent, one of these linguistic mechanics is the ubiquitous use of quotation marks (“ ”) and another is the use of bold print, italic print and bold italic print. A third is my use of footnotes (please read the footnotes).

Although admittedly cumbersome and frustrating to confront, I, the writer of these words, have found these and other linguistic mechanics necessary since, absent their presence, it is relatively easy to circle (Above Words) in a “verbal reality” and “mind” informed by “them” as opposed to diving deep (Beneath Words) into “the body/brain” out of which they emerge and into the single physical reality in which all “bodies/brains” dwell.³

NOTE TO THE READER

(Concerning My Use Of Linguistic Mechanics)

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Albert Einstein

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge the symbols on which humanity depends.”

Alfred North Whitehead

Journeying Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them into the single physical reality that lies beneath them is “hard work”, particularly if your mind has been trained in a current kind of thinking that treats each word, each symbol and each image as just a word, a symbol or an image – nothing more. The problem: The words, the symbols and the images are always getting in the way. A new kind of thinking is needed; one that embraces the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images” and builds from that foundation.

One of the purposes of this writing is to introduce your mind to this new kind of thinking. To do so, I utilize linguistic mechanics (each a linguistic tool). Each linguistic tool has its 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 mind” and “your verbal reality”, you (or, more particularly, your mind) can dive deep beneath these “words”, “symbols” and “images” into this single physical reality in which your “body/brain” dwells and their “source and substance”.

One example of these linguistic tools is my use of the phrase “now thought of and called”. Other examples are my use of footnotes; quotation marks (“ ”); bold, italic print; a series of four dots (....); some dashes (– – ) and presenting a compound sentence in a downward stair-steeping manner. An example of a verbal statement in which these linguistic tools are embedded reads as follows:

What is now thought of and called a “word” is really a sound or a mark – or, more particularly, a vibration – whose meaning is associated with something of substance (a vibration) that lies beneath “it”....

....something of substance to keep in mind as you proceed onward....

....on this Journey, Beneath Words.⁴

More will be stated about these specific linguistic mechanics along the way.

However, there is one linguistic mechanic that deserves special mention, a process called “renormalizing”.

Concerning This Process Called Renormalizing

While being engaged in this new kind of thinking, always remain “mindful” that although this process is typically thought of and called a linguistic mechanic (which it is), this linguistic mechanic is the process that each of we presences called “human” use when making a verbal choice (a verbal act of selecting); this process called renormalizing being much more than just a linguistic tool.

More To The Point

There exists among we presences called “human”, certain “groups” called “physicists” and “mathematicians” that use this verbal process called “renormalizing” for the purpose of cancelling out “infinities” in order to make their mathematical calculations “finite”. In other words, by “cancelling out” these pesky “infinities”, these physicist and mathematicians establish “boundary conditions” within which their calculations work....while understanding that these “infinities” do exists.

As it turns out....although not currently thought of in this manner, this process called “renormalizing” is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process -- a natural selecting process -- by which what exists, physically, in potentia (the “infinite”) becomes physically present (“finite/real”).⁵

More will be stated about this vibrating interacting process along the way.

*****

Other linguistic mechanics that I use are:

(i) Presenting Notes in the form of Notes To The Reader and Author’s Notes, an example being this specific Note To The Reader that you are now reading concerning my use of linguistic mechanics;

(ii) Presenting certain verbal statements produced by certain individuals over and over again and again for the purpose of focusing upon specific words they are “speaking/writing” from their own unique perspective.

For example: consider these verbal statements taken from Ending of Time, a dialogue between J. (Jiddu) Krishnamurti, a meta-physicist, and David Bohm, a physicist (Harper, San Francisco, 1985):

Krishnamurti: How shall we start? I would like to ask if humanity has taken a wrong turn.

Bohm: A wrong turn? Well it must have done so, a long time ago, I think.

Trained as a lawyer, I, the writer of these words, frequently use both bold print and bold italic print for emphasis. In this case, the emphasis is on the words, “humanity”, “wrong”, “turn” “think” i.e. a wrong turn in Humanity’s thinking.

Now consider these verbal statements, paying particular attention to the words “thinking” and “reason”:

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” Albert Einstein

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge the symbols on which humanity depends.” Alfred North Whitehead

Note that these verbal statements emphasize the importance of understanding both “thinking” and “reasoning”.

My Point:

Each act called “thinking” and “reasoning” is a product of the words, symbols and images that both create and inform the “mind” and “its verbal reality”.

More, particularly, each act of “thinking” and “reasoning” performed by a presence called “human” is an act performed by his/her own unique “mind” within his/her own unique “verbal reality” based upon his/her own unique perspective.

Thus, best practice is to understand the true nature of words, symbols and images and the true nature of “each mind” and “its verbal reality” before we presences called “human” (either individually or collectively) “jump to conclusions” in “our thinking” and “our reasoning”.

Even More To The Point

Consider these verbal statements:

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

“Everything in Life is Vibration.” Albert Einstein

And these specific words (on which my emphasis is placed):

think vibration

Life Vibration

MY APOLOGY

What Is Life?

In his book, What Is Life? (first published in 1944), Erwin Schrödinger, a physicists and the producer of a famous equation bearing his name (Schrödinger equation), sets forth in his Preface an apology. Schrödinger begins his Preface by stating that in this book he is daring to venture into matters beyond his current knowledge as a physicist -- into matters in which he has no in-depth schooling -- only a curiosity -- a “keen longing for unified, all-embracing knowledge”.

Addressing a natural tendency that most of “us” have, Schrödinger states:

“We have inherited from our forefathers the keen longing for unified, all embracing knowledge.....We feel clearly that we are only now beginning to acquire reliable material for welding together the sum total of all that is known into a whole; but, on the other hand, it has become next to impossible for a single mind fully to command more than a small specialized portion of it.”

Schrödinger then offers this apology:

“I can see no other escape from this dilemma (lest our true aim be lost for ever) than that some of us should venture to embark on a synthesis of facts and theories, albeit with second-hand and incomplete knowledge of some of them -- and at the risk of making fools of ourselves.”

“So much for my apology.”

*****

Schrödinger speaks/writes from his own unique perspective as a scientist, a physicist and a mathematician. I, the writer of these words, am not a scientist nor am I a physicist or a mathematician. However, I been trained to structure words, symbols and images in certain ways peculiar to the practice of law.

In that regard, as a lawyer, I tend to “think” of myself as a wordsmith. And, in my practice of law, I have experienced what it means to be “hung up” in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”. Indeed, it is this experience that has led me to focus on “words” and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany them....the word, Life, being no exception.

Yet, it was not until “the word” became alive in the form of a sound/mark/vibration that I dared to dive into matters that lie deep beneath “the word” using this new kind of thinking about which I write.

Thus, it is in this sense I “venture to embark on a synthesis of facts and theories”....at the risk of making a fool of myself -- a fact for which I now offer my apology.

When I sit down at my computer for the purpose of using “my mind” to write something of substance concerning the true nature of this physical reality that “my body” is sensing in a manner orchestrated by “my brain” (Beneath Words), “my mind” gets stuck in “its verbal reality”; a “mind” and a “verbal reality” that exists Above Words and is dependent upon the “words/symbols/images” that are creating and informing “them” in that present moment.⁶

More To The Point: When I sit down at my computer, not only am I having in that present moment an unique sensory experience from my body/brain’s own unique perspective concerning what is actually occurring (Beneath Words) in this physical reality in which all “bodies/minds” dwell. “My mind”, while dwelling in “its verbal reality” (Above Words), is choosing (act of selecting) from a menu of all “words/symbols/images” that inform “it” and “its verbal reality” the best words/symbols/images that simulate my body/brain’s unique sensory experience in that present moment.

Since I cannot avoid using words, symbols and images when “speaking” or “writing”, it is only natural that in my efforts to speak/write about what is occurring Beneath Words (and the symbols and images that accompany words), the best “my mind” can do in that moment of speaking/writing is to choose (act of selecting) from a menu of all possible “words/symbols/images” then available to me those words, symbols and images that....in that present moment....best simulate what I am sensing in my “body/brain” in that present moment.

The result: I remain stuck in the “word/symbol/image” and a current kind of thinking embedded in the “word/symbol/image” since each verbal statement and each verbal story I speak/write in each present moment simply skates along the surface of the “words/symbols/images” I select in that moment.

As it turns out, there is another way. And, this “other way” involves recognizing the fact that absent the presence of “words/symbols/images”, nothing can be verbally stated about anything; present the presence of “words/symbols/images” anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can also be verbally stated in the negative.

Thus, it became important for me to take my first step in pursuing this other way....to ask these two fundamental questions:

From whence do words, symbols and images emerge?

What is their true nature?

Since, unless I could answer these two fundamental questions, I could be using words/symbols/images in a way that is not coherent with their true nature and the true nature of “all that exists”....thereby making a wrong turn.

This book is simply one example of the “speaking/writing” that is emerging from “me”, once “my mind” embraced these two verbal statements as facts:

Each “word/symbol/image” is a vibration expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning emerges from what lies beneath it.

Each “mind” and “its verbal reality” are vibrating existential states in which these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”.

There are many books and many writings that I have authored since that moment when I took this first step; each book and writing being representative of a new kind of thinking to which you are now being introduced.

My apology lies in the fact that I have yet to find an easier way by which to introduce this new kind of thinking. So, hopefully you will suspend judgement on my verbal efforts, choosing (act of selecting) to be patient with “them” and to read/hear “my words” as I strive to find an easier way.

MY UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

Nikola Tesla

“Everything in Life is Vibration”

Albert Einstein

I, the writer of these words, can only speak, write, listen and read words, symbols and images from my unique perspective since no one other than me stands in my shoes. A similar statement applies to you, the reader of these words, and each presence called “human”.

The challenge for each of we presences called “human” lies not in speaking or writing or listening or reading words, symbols and images from his/her own unique perspective.

Instead, the challenge lies in using words, symbols and images to simulate, in a coherent manner, what is actually emerging/occurring Beneath Words and Above Words from every unique perspective;

“Above Words” meaning “each mind”, “each verbal reality”, “each thought”, “each measurement”, “each projection”, “each verbal statement” and “each verbal story” that is created and informed by “the word”, “the symbol” and/or “the image”.

“Beneath Words” meaning “each body”, “each brain”, “the physical reality” in which “each body” and “each brain” dwells as well as the “source and substance” of “all that exists” including “each body”, “each brain” and “the physical reality” in which “each body” and “each brain” dwells.

“every unique perspective” meaning from every “point” in the “universe”.

Recognizing that absent the presence of words, symbols and images no verbal statement/story could be told nor would “the mind” and “its verbal reality” exist nor would the “mind” be able to use words/symbols/images as verbal linguistic lenses through which it “views” the “universe” (physical reality) and produces its verbal stories concerning What Is Real/What Is Not Real.

Recognizing that absent the presence of words, symbols and images, neither Einstein or Tesla could have stated these words from his unique perspective.

Einstein: We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” “Everything in Life is Vibration.”

Tesla: “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

Nor could any presence called “human” strive to produce a “creation story” or “model of reality” that coherently simulate the emergence of “all that exists”.

~~~

In our “everyday world”, little (if any) attention is paid to the unique perspective of the other “person” and virtually no attention is paid to every unique perspective that exists in “our universe/multiverse”....unless “you” have been “trained/taught” (e.g. a “physicist”) to do so or are (like me) striving to do so “on your own”.

One of “my goals” is to do so by producing a “model of reality” that simulates, coherently, the emergence of “everything”, “anything”, “something” and “nothing”, working off of the assumption that what is occurring from my unique perspective must, in some way, be occurring from every unique perspective -- i.e. the uniqueness of each “perspective” being only one characteristic of “the universe/multiverse” that must be addressed.

While remaining “mindful” that this “goal” cannot be achieved unless this “model of reality” coherently simulates the emergence of “everything” including every unique perspective that is present both Beneath Words and Above Words and every word/symbol/image that has emerged or potentially can emerge.

~~~

Another “goal” is to have this “model of reality” accepted (through verbal agreement) as “true”....not an easy task since there is always the “matter of proof”....of “proving true” to each “mind” existing Above Words that what the “model” is verbally stating in words/symbols/images about what is occurring Beneath Words and Above Words is accurate i.e. a coherent simulation from all perspectives in each present moment.

The Present Moment

Although I, the writer of these words, may “think” otherwise, all I have is this present moment....a present moment called “Now”. A similar statement applies to you, the reader of these words. The role of the physicist and the meta-physicist is to produce the words, symbols and images that best simulate what is occurring in each present moment called “Now” -- not only from his/her unique perspective -- but also from every unique perspective.

However (as should be obvious), “life” is comprised of a series of present moments. And that is a problem for the physicist/meta-physicists since each present moment is unique from each life’s unique perspective.

Each “body/brain” dwells in a single physical reality (Beneath Words) while each “mind” dwells in “its verbal reality” (Above Words).

Each “body/brain” is unique as is each “mind” and “its verbal reality”; a “point” that will be “proved up” along the way.

Thus, the physicists/meta-physicists, when striving to “speak/write” about “anything”, must “take into account” the fact that his/her “body/brain/mind” is evolving (changing) present moment to present moment -- changing to such an extent that his/her unique perspective is changing present moment by present moment both Beneath Words and Above Words.

Meaning that in each present moment, what may appear to be “verbally true” to the physicists/meta-physicist in one present moment will have changed in the next present moment....a change that must be taken into account when he/she is striving to produce the model of reality that best simulates how words, symbols and images are emerging and what is occurring both Beneath Words and Above Words -- present moment to present moment.⁷

*****

Admittedly, this phenomenon involving unique perspectives may be hard for “your mind” to grasp -- particularly if you have not yet accepted the fact that the words/symbols/images that are emerging from “you” -- present moment to present moment -- are creating a “bridge” connecting (i) what is really happening in your body/brain and its physical reality (Beneath Words) and (ii) what your mind “thinks” is really happening in “its verbal reality” (Above Words).

Nevertheless, when I, the writer of these words, strive to create

This model of reality that best simulates how words, symbols and images are emerging and what is occurring both Beneath Words and Above Words -- present moment to present moment

I must address this phenomenon called uniqueness (Qualia) in the model from every perspective. And, I must also be aware of how this phenomenon affects my verbal statements (“speaking/ writing”)....present moment to present moment.

~~~

Thus, if you, the reader of these words, have a continuing interest in what I am writing and choose (act of selecting) to read the many writings that I have authored in an effort to produce this model, you will ultimately recognize that, although the words, symbols and images I choose (act of selecting) to create and inform each of my writings (books/papers) may differ, the end result:

The model of reality that I “think” best simulates what is occurring both Beneath Words and Above Words (and in Words as well as Symbols and Images) present moment to present moment

remains the same -- remains unchanged

~~~

My Model Of Reality

So....what does this model of reality state:

Simply stated:

1. Vibration is the source and substance of all that exists: each something of substance being a vibration that exhibits vibrating characteristics unique to its “species”; each “member” of each “species” exhibiting vibrating characteristics that are unique to it.

2. Vibration acts upon itself and through all that it creates pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process that is the same process by which each of we presences called “human” acts upon himself/herself and produces sounds/marks/vibrations with meanings called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

3. This vibrating interacting (selecting) process is a Creative Process that favors selections previously made, thereby producing a natural bias (an Historical bias) favoring these previously made selections.

4. The rule/law by which all that exists emerges is the formula:

V(P):+/-

Yet, there is always the matter of “ proof” -- isn’t there?

A matter that will now be addressed.

The Matter of Proof

If I do have any readers interested in “my proof”, most likely, those most interested will be physicists steeped in the practice of mathematics since most of my writing address the true nature of (i) the single physical reality in which our bodies and our brains dwell and (ii) the single source/substance of this single physical reality and our bodies/brains. Most other readers will ultimately determine whether what I am writing feels right to “them” and comports with their bodily experiences.

I, the writer of these words, am not a physicist or a mathematician. So, most likely, my proof will be unsatisfactory to the physicist or the mathematician. However, what does seem apparent to me (when studying physics and mathematics in my own way) is that mathematics is a language. However, unlike striving to communicate in a traditional language (be it called English or French or Latin, etc.), mathematics is a language common to all. Spoken in symbols and images (as opposed to words), it allows we “human beings” to cut across all tribal languages without getting “hung up” in “their words”.

Nevertheless, mathematics remains a verbal language subject to the same risk that all verbal languages exhibit (i.e. it is easy to float along the surface of their words, their symbols and their images “missing “the forest for the trees”).

The role of this new kind of thinking to which you, the reader of these words, are now being introduced is to prove that the aforesaid model of reality is “true”....using mostly words to do so.

What is “true” is that even the most erudite of physicists and mathematicians (when starting to build a model of reality) must “take into account” not only his/her unique perspective but also all unique perspectives. My starting point is no different -- albeit I am starting with “words”.

Ultimately, although it may sound weird or strange, the only way to prove any verbal statement/story true is for all “minds”, collectively, to accept (through verbal agreement) that the verbal statement/story is “true”.

Thus, in the end, (when dealing with this matter of proof) it is not that important that a verbal statement/story be approved by the “collective minds” of any particular group be they called “physicists”, “scientists”, “mathematicians”, “philosophers”, “theologians” or those who believe in evolution or creationism or biomimicry.

What is important is that all “minds” as a whole accept the verbal statement/story as “true” -- that being the only way any verbal statement/story (including the aforesaid model of reality) can be “proved true”.

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

The Scientific Method defined: “principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.”

Webster’s Ninth New

Collegiate Dictionary

Note that what is now thought of and called The Scientific Method is defined using words, symbols and images. In any “verbal reality” in which a “mind” exists, it can be no other way.

Yet, The Scientific Method involves both the “mind” and “its verbal reality” (existing Above Words) and the “the body” and “its brain” (existing Beneath Words).

My “body” senses something of substance moving

As my “body”, in a manner orchestrated by “my brain”,

Interacts with my surroundings

I (or, more particularly, my “body” in a manner coordinated by “my brain”)

Superposes a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image”

Upon this something of substance.

The “word/symbol/image” selected creates and informs

The “mind” and “its verbal reality”;

The “mind” using the “word/symbol/image” as a

Linguistic lens called “a projection”, a “measurement” and a “thought”

Thereby allowing “the mind” within “its verbal reality”

To view, and produce stories concerning the true nature of this

Something of substance.

~~~

The Scientific Method uses “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as a verbal bridge for the purpose of producing a model of reality (a “creation story”) that explores/described (simulates) the emergence of “everything”. In this sense, this model of reality must answers these Fundamental Questions in the order presented in order for this “model” to be credible.

I

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of each “mind” and its “verbal reality”?

How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of each “body” and each “brain”?

How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality?

How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

More particularly, at its most fundamental level, The Scientific Method must use its language called “mathematics” to create its model....a “verbal code” by which all those physicists/mathematicians schooled in the art of mathematics can interact (communicate) in a coherent manner about the emergence of “everything” without having to deal with the pesky words that otherwise would be “getting in the way”.

And, this model must, in a coherent manner, “take into account” every unique perspective, using this language called “mathematics” to do so.

It is not an easy task since, at the most fundamental level of existence, there is that moment when the physicist/mathematician senses in his/her “body/brain” and “thinks/measures/projects” within his/her “verbal reality/mind” that each something of substance with which he/she is interacting is a vibrating something of substance that points to what can be thought of as a “point of singularity”....a point of singularity that is really much more than a “point”.

Frequently viewed as Infinite Potential or simply “Potential”, the questions become: What is this Point of Singularity? From whence does “it” emerge?

Clearly, this Point of Singularity -- this “Infinite Potential” -- is “something” more than “nothing”. Yet as with all pesky “infinities”, this Infinite Potential -- this Potential -- must be cancelled out if the physicist/mathematician is to produce his/her “finite” calculations.

~~~

Enter this process called renormalizing -- a process by which certain “boundary conditions” are selected by the physicist/mathematician for the purpose of making within the “boundaries” of those boundary conditions his/her “finite calculations”....leaving this Infinite Potential -- this Potential -- to be addressed later.

This process being identical to the process by which underlying assumptions are established so that projections and measurements can be made (e.g. financial projections -- financial models -- in which calculations can be made as to “returns” on “investments”).

This process being identical to the process by which initial conditions are established for a “system” -- be that system existing Beneath Words as a “natural system” or Above Words, as a “verbal system” (the best example being the initial conditions -- oxygen, water, food -- upon which “your body/brain” as a “system” exhibits a sensitive dependence.

~~~

Yet, ironically, although each physicist/mathematician uses this process of renormalizing in his/her own unique way, little thought has been given to the possibility that this Infinite Potential -- this Potential -- is really the potential of Vibration....

....Vibration existing in an in potentia vibrating existential state until it acts upon itself through a “natural process of renormalization” -- that being a vibrating interacting (selecting) process.

And, that Vibration and each vibration that emerges from Vibration acts upon its potential consistent with this fundamental “rule/law/formula”:

V(P): +/-

In which:

V = Vibration

(P) = Vibration’s Potential

: = vibrating interacting (selecting) process

+/- = physical realty selected/physical realities not selected.

A “formula” that can be adjusted for each vibration by simply substituting a v for V and a p for P; this “formula” applying to each vibration; each vibration called “human” and his/her “body/brain/mind” being no exceptions.

~~~

Of course,

there is always the matter of proof,

isn’t there?

*The word, “epilogue” is defined as being “a concluding section that rounds out the design of a literary work”. The word, “design” is defined as “a verbal (mindful) act; a conceiving and planning out in the mind”. The “mind” plans (a verbal construct); the “body” executes the plan in a manner coordinated by “its brain” thereby translating the plan into physical acts (physical constructs). In this sense, this new kind of thinking and this new model of reality about which I speak/write and to which “your mind” has been introduced are verbal constructs that can be translated into physical acts (physical constructs) in matters of “health”, “wellness”, “medicine”, “life”....much like a “golfer” who images (pictures) in his/her “mind” performing the “perfect golf swing” (verbal construct) and then translates that verbal construct into his/her physical act (physical construct) -- physically perform “the perfect golf swing”. One of the purposes of this Epilogue is to provide you some examples of this “translating”.

1. Absent The Presence Of Words, Symbols And Images

Allow “your mind” to think this “thought”:

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be verbally stated about anything.

Just allow this “thought” to “sink in” into “your mind” and “its verbal reality”.

We presences called “human” take for granted “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images”, never bothering to consider from whence they emerge or what is their true nature other than to attribute “their emergence” to a “higher power” -- the “words, “higher power” being just two more words.

Present the presence of what are now thought of and 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 (-).

Having the benefit of “the word”, “the symbol”, “the image” and a “mind” created and informed by “them”, we presences called “human” have been able to use “our minds” to produce “designs”, “plans”, “specifications”, “drawings”, “schematics”, “simulations”, “printings”, “algorithms”, “equations”, “formulae”, etc. (verbal constructs) that individually and collectively have allowed “us” to use “our bodies” in a manner coordinated by “our brains” to produce “microscopes”, “telescopes”, “superconducting supercolliders”, “computers”, “hammers”, “nails”, “printing presses”, “computer simulations”, “houses”, “offices”, “physical structures”, etc. (physical constructs) that individually and collectively have allowed “us” not only to survive....but also to thrive.

More To The Point: Absent the presence of words and the symbols and images that accompany them, there would be no verbal constructs called “constitutions” or “rules of law” nor would there be present the potential (p) to verbally state what is “right/wrong” or verbally produce “stories” concerning “what is right” and “what is wrong”.

Present the presence of words and the symbols and images that accompany them, there can be verbal constructs called “constitutions”, “rules of law”, “right/wrong” and verbal stories about “what is right/what is wrong”....

....verbal constructs that once accepted through verbal agreement or imposed by verbal agreement among “some of us” on “others of us” are translated into acceptable physical acts (acceptable physical constructs) similar to the way any “plan” (a verbal construct) is translated into a physical act/construct (i.e. “building a house”).

~~~

Words, symbols and images are interesting “bed fellows”. Running rampant in a “mind” both created and informed by them, they can be disruptive, particularly when “seeking sleep” that “will not come”.

Yet, what is really curious about words, symbols and images is that absent their presence, the “body” and “its brain” still exist as does the ability of the “body”....

....to gesture/pantomime (“communicate”) in a manner coordinated by “its brain”....

....while interacting with “its surroundings” (physical reality) in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

In fact, absent the presence of words, symbols and image, all “bodies” and all “bodies with brains” still interact and interconnect (communicate) and they exist, each in their own unique way....what is called “life/death” being only one way.

~~~

The good news about “words”, “symbols” and “images” is that, when present, they can “make matters better”, allowing those who have their benefit a better way to survive and thrive. The “bad news” about “words”, “symbols” and “images” is that, when present, they can also “make matters worse”, making “surviving” and “thriving” even more challenging.

Therefore, it seems important for we presences called “human” to understand the true nature of words, symbols and images and from whence they emerge, since if not understood, there is always the potential to use them in a manner that is not coherent with the true nature of “the body” and “its brain” and how the “body” and “its brain” emerged....thereby leading to “unanticipated consequences”.

So as “you” and “I” move onward in our journey, Beneath Words, remain “mindful” that it is only because of the presence of words/symbols and images that I can “write” and you can “read” the verbal statements that inform (i) this book, (ii) this new kind of thinking in which you are now engaged and (iii) this new model of reality implicated by this new kind of thinking.

Thus, it is to these questions and their answers that “we” now turn:

What is the true nature of words, symbols and images?

From whence do they emerge?

2. The True Nature of Words, Symbols And Images

What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are vibrations expressed in the form of “sounds” and “marks” whose meanings are associated with what lies beneath them.

Collectively, these vibrations with meaning are always pointing to a single vibrating source and substance (Vibration) out of which “all that exists” emerges and a single vibrating physical reality in which each “body/brain” dwells.

These vibrations with meaning emerge from the “body” but only after the “body”, in a manner coordinated by “its brain”, can

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

(ii) associate the specific vibration with a vibrating something of substance with which the “body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”....a vibrating something of something that lies beneath the specific vibration with meaning and to which it (the specific vibration with meaning) is pointing (like a sign).⁸

As they emerge, these vibrations with meaning create and inform two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”; the latter (“mind”) dwelling in the former (“its verbal reality”).

Within the “mind”, these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which “the mind” views and produces verbal stories concerning

What Is Real/What Is Not Real

In this sense, at their most fundamental level of existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”: each being a vibration with meaning expressed in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark; each emerging only after the “body” has acted upon its potential (p) and produced the vibration with meaning.

In this sense, “words/symbols/images” emerge out of the body’s potential (p) through the same vibrating interacting process by which Vibration acts upon its Potential (P) and produces “all that exists”; this vibrating interacting process being a natural process of renormalizing -- a natural selecting process....

....frequently called “evolution”, “creationism”, “biomimicry”, “mimicry”....

....occasionally called an interacting force (e.g. “strong”, “weak”, “electro”, “magnetic”, “gravitational”).

In this sense, these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” serve as a two-way (vertical) bridge linking the “verbal reality” in which the “mind” dwells to the underlying single physical reality in which the “body” and “its brain” dwells.

In this sense, this bridge links what lies Above Words (i.e. each “verbal reality” and “mind”) to what lies Beneath Words (“body”, “brain”, “physical reality” and “source”)....as the “body” is interacting with its physical surroundings in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

In this sense, this two-way vertical bridge links what lies Above Words to what lies Beneath Words providing each of we humans and all of Humanity with the human potential to simulate coherently what lies “above words” with what lies “below

words”, giving “true meaning” to the “Law of Correspondence”.⁹

3. The True Nature Of Language

How does a language emerge? What is now thought of and called a “language” emerges once a “mind” while dwelling in “its verbal reality” has either learned on its own or been taught by a “teacher” to string these sounds/marks/vibrations called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into what are now thought of and called “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, “paragraphs”, “statements”, “papers”, “books”, “stories”, etc.

Simply stated: Each language emerges out of a “body”:

(A) once the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can

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

(ii) associate that specific vibration with another vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing (like a sign)

And

(B) Once a “mind” created and informed by these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning has either learned on its own or been taught by a “teacher” to string together these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into verbal constructs called “phrases”, “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, “paragraphs”, “statements”, “papers”, “books”, “stories”, etc.

In this sense, the true nature of each “language” and its “syntax” is vibrational as is the true nature of any act of communicating using that language or the “words/symbols/images” comprising that language.¹⁰

4. The True Nature Of Each Body And Each Brain

At the most fundamental level of existence, each expression of Vibration is a vibration that exhibits vibrating characteristics that are unique to it; this verbal statement being “true” for a “cell”, a “molecule”, an “atom”, a “particle”, a “string” or any “thing” including “each body” and “each brain” and their “constituent parts” (i.e. the “cells”, “molecules”, “atoms”, “particles”, “strings” and “things” that inform “them”).

This verbal statement being “true” for each presence (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”); we presences called “human” being no exceptions

At the most fundamental level of existence, as they emerge, these most fundamental presences....these more fundamental “particles” (be they identified by the word/name, “string” or another word/name)....interact with each other, forming what can be thought of and called a “space/time” dimension or, more particularly, a “field of space” and an “arrow of time”.

The process by which these “things” called “strings” emerge is the same vibrating interacting process by which Vibration acts upon its Potential; that “process” being a natural process of renormalizing -- a natural selecting process -- by which what is potentially real/not real becomes real.

All that exists emerges in this manner:

Vibration acting upon its Potential and producing these vibrations called “strings”.

These vibrations called “strings”, once emerging, acting upon “their potential” while interacting among themselves, thereby producing a dimension of space/time that supports further creation

These vibrations called “strings” either:

(i) combining through vibrating acts called “resonance”

or

(ii) separating through vibrating acts called “interference”

Or remaining in an in potentia vibrating existential state called “dissonance” until they either:

(i) combine through vibrating acts called “resonance”

or

(ii) separate through vibrating acts called “interference”.

This process is creative. This Creative Process is iterative. This iterative process is a selecting process; a process that favors (exhibits an Historical Bias in favor of) vibrating acts of selecting previously made.

It is out of this vibrating interacting process -- this Creative Process -- that each “body” and each “body with a brain” emerges:

“strings” interacting, vibrationally, with “strings” to produce “particles”;

“particles” interacting, vibrationally, with “particles” to produce “atoms”;

“atoms” interacting, vibrationally, with “atoms” to produce “molecules”;

“molecules” interacting, vibrationally, with “molecules” to produce “cells”;

“cells” interacting, vibrationally, with “cells” to produce “bodies” and “brains”.

Each “string”, “particle”, “atom”, “molecule”, “cell”, “body” and “brain” being a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”; one such characteristic being a “bias” (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made.¹¹

5. The Mind And Its Verbal Statements/Stories

What is really hard for a “mind” to grasp is that absent the presences of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, both “it” and “its verbal reality” would not exist; yet the “body” and “its brain” from which “it” and “its verbal reality” can (potentially) emerge would exist. A similar verbal statement applies to each “mind” and “its verbal reality”.

As demonstrated by a new born “infant”: “it” is present at birth; “it” has a “body” and a “brain” at birth. However, this presence called “infant” has no sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” by which to say so nor does “it” have these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”.

Concerning each “infant” (assuming it is “healthy”), these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” come later, as “it” (this “infant”) develops into a “toddler/child”....as do these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”.

And, as this “toddler/child” continues to develop into a “student”, then “adolescent”, then “adult”, his/her “mind” gradually learns on its own or is “taught” by a “teacher” to string together these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into verbal statements/stories that are unique to him/her since nobody stands in his/her shoes -- has his/her own unique perspective.

More To The Point: Once emerging as a vibrating existential state both created and informed by these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, a “mind”....while dwelling in “its verbal reality”....soon learns on its own or is taught by a teacher to use these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”

(i) Through which it (the mind) can view this underlying reality in which all “bodies” and all “brains” dwell as well as the source and substance of this underlying reality and each “body/brain”; and,

(ii) By which it (the mind) can produce its verbal statements and verbal stories concerning this underlying reality in which all “bodies” and all “brains” dwell as well as the source and substance of this underlying reality and each “body/brain”.

A similar verbal statement applies to all “minds”.

And, once a “mind” and “its verbal reality” emerges as a collective vibrating existential state, the verbal statements and verbal stories that this “mind” can produce are dependent upon the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that inform “its verbal reality”, meaning that as “its verbal reality” is created and informed by new sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning (i.e. new “words/symbols/images”), this “mind” changes.

The problem: There are, potentially, an infinite number of verbal statements and verbal stories that a “mind” can produce within “its verbal reality” in each present moment. Thus, for each of we presences called “human” the challenge lies in choosing (act of selecting) within “his/her verbal reality/mind” which of these verbal statements/stories is the best verbal statements/story by which to inform the physical acts of his/her body as his/her body is interacting with its physical surroundings in a manner orchestrated by his/her brain”.

Enter The Tribe/Community

To eliminate this “problem”, it is not unusual for the “mind” of a presence called “human” to be trained in the way his/her tribe or community shapes these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into its verbal statements/stories....verbal statements and verbal stories that have been previously accepted (through verbal agreement) as “true” by all or at least a strong majority of its “members”.

Initially, it is the verbal statements/story of the “tribe” or “community” into which this presence called “human” is birthed that shapes his/her “mind” and “its verbal reality”; these verbal statements/stories being presented in the form of a “creation story” or a “model of reality”.

Thereafter, it is the verbal statements/story of each “tribe” or “community” in which this presence called “human” choses (act of selection) to dwell that further shapes his/her “mind” and his/her “verbal reality”....assuming he/she has the freedom or desire to make this choice.

In any event, what does become apparent (if you really focus “your mind” on “the words/symbols/images” that inform “it” and “its verbal reality”), is that there is always an historical bias favoring the “words/symbols/images” that initially inform “your verbal reality”; those “words/symbols/image” being the ones that inform the initial verbal statements/stories of the “tribe” or community” into which “you” were birthed.

And, what also becomes apparent (particularly if you have had the freedom to move among “tribes” and “communities”) is that the “creation story” or “model of reality” that your initial “tribe/community” adopted is, usually, not consistent with -- actually conflicts with -- other “creation stories/models of reality” adopted by other “tribes/communities”.

The Result:

There are many creation stories and models of reality and there are many groups of we presences called “human” that have adopted a creation story and model of reality of its own.

Even within their own “group”, there will be “members” of that “group” that disagree with other members of the “group” often leading to the “group” fragmenting into “subgroups” and “sub-sub groups”....each of “them” setting off against each other, using words such as

true/not true

fake/not fake

right/not right

wrong/not wrong

In fact, many tribes/communities/groups fragment in this way.¹²

6. Our Verbal/Tribal Stories

“We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” Toni Morrison

We presences called “human” produce our sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and we string together our “words/symbols/images” into “our languages”.....languages in which we verbalize our stories. Indeed, it is how “we” string “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images” together into our languages and our stories that distinguish we presences called “human” from other “species”.

Nevertheless, best these “stories” be consistent with how “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” actually emerge. If consistent, these languages and stories will allow we presences called “human” to express their individual and collective potential (p); failing which we presences called “humans” may not only lose our potential but also lose “our lives”.

More To The Point: We presences called “human” are always telling verbal stories; verbal stories about our sensory experiences about what is occurring in our lives and in our surroundings. Each “tribe” and each “community” typically has its own unique verbal story spoken or written in the form of a “creation story” or “model of reality”. Usually, these verbal stories are not thought of as “stories”; most often, these verbal stories are treated as verbal facts.

Nevertheless, these verbal stories (verbal constructs) are important. We presences called “human” need “our stories”.

Our verbal stories (our verbal constructs) shape our physical acts (our physical constructs) as each of “us” lives the life he/she is given. They provide a “handle” that “we” can hold on to as we interact, physically with “our surroundings” seeking to answer the questions of “How?” and “Why”.

However, when these verbal stories conflict, these conflicts also shape our lives.

What we presences called “human” now need is a new verbal story -- a new series of verbal statements to which Humanity as a whole can say “yes”....a new verbal story that answers these fundamental questions in a coherent manner:

I

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”? How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of each “mind” and its “verbal reality”? How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of each “body” and each “brain”? How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality? How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

7. Producing A New Verbal Story

It is submitted by me, the writer of these words, that before we presences called “human” can produce this new verbal story, it is incumbent upon “us” to agree upon the verbal answers to these first two questions:

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

My verbal answers: What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are vibrations expressed in the form of sounds and marks....vibrations with meaning that

(i) emerge from the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”; and,

(ii) point to a physical reality that lies beneath them.

Yet, these are only my verbal answers offered from my unique perspective; verbal answers with which you may agree/not agree -- that being “your choice”.

Thus, the first step required of we presences called “human” when producing this new verbal story is for “us”, collectively, to accept through verbal agreement a verbal answer to each of these first two fundamental questions.

I have offered my “proof” of my verbal answers to these first two fundamental question; a verbal proof with which you may agree/not agree -- that being “your choice.¹³

However, it is submitted that once “you” accept my “proof” as “true”, it becomes relatively easy for “your mind” to accept through verbal agreement my verbal answers to the next two fundamental questions:

What is the true nature of each “mind” and its “verbal reality”?

How do they emerge?

It becomes relatively easy for “your mind” to grasp the fact that the true nature of what is now thought of and called “the mind” and “its verbal reality” is vibration....each “mind” and “its verbal reality” (including “your mind” and “its verbal reality”) really being two vibrating existential states in which these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” by which the “mind”

(i) views the physical reality with which “its body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”; and,

(ii) produces its verbal stories concerning the true nature of this physical reality and its source/substance.

In this sense, it becomes relatively easy for “your mind” to grasp the fact that the true nature of each verbal story (including any “creation story” or “model of reality”) is vibration since each story (as well as each “verbal reality” and “mind”) is a product of these vibrations with meaning that....

....emerge from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”....

....as “the body” is interacting with this physical reality and its source/substance in a manner orchestrated by its brain.

Nevertheless, in order for all of these fundamental questions to be verbally answered in a coherent manner, there remains to be answered the remaining fundamental questions; those being:

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of each “body” and each “brain”? How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality? How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?¹⁴

Verbal answers that remain difficult to verbally produce and prove true until the “thought” emerges that these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are always pointing to vibration being the true nature of

(i) not only each “word/symbol/image”, each “verbal reality/mind” and each “verbal statement/story”

(ii) but also each “body”, each “brain”, the physical reality in which each “body” and each “brain” dwells and their source/substance.

Of course, there is always the matter of proof....of proving these verbal answers “true”; a matter that remains elusive until “your mind” accepts as “true” the following verbal statements.

A. Vibrating Characteristics

Many “tribes/communities/groups” have emerged with their verbal statements and verbal stories....their “creation stories/models of reality. Yet, none of these verbal statements/stories have answered these Fundamental Questions in a coherent manner.

Even within the “tribe/community/group” currently called “physicists”, there exists a fissure. First, there exists a disparity between those “members” who adopt what is now thought of and called the “Classical Model Of Reality” and those “members” who adopt what is now thought of and called the “Quantum Model of Reality”. Then within each of these “subgroups”, there exists many “sub subgroups” that create further disparities. Many books and papers have been written depicting these disparities; their authors seeking to explain each disparity or give reasons why one or more of these disparities can be ignored.

However, there is one central “theme” that most “physicists”....as a “group”.... confirm once they have access to sense enhancing devices called the “microscope”, the “telescope” and the “super conducting super collider”; that being:

Each something of substance no matter how small or large exhibits vibrating characteristics by which it can be measured, then identified by superposing a word, a symbol or an image upon it.

Thus, at the most fundamental level of its existence, it seems that all “physicists” have accepted through agreement (“proved”) that:

At their most fundamental level of existence, each something of substance, currently measured and identified, is a vibrating something of something;

It being speculated by many of these “physicists” that the most basic vibrating something of substance yet to be measured and identified is a “single dimensioned vibrating string” (a “string” as in “String Theory”, supplemented by one or more “M Theories”) although there exists no verbal agreement among all “physicists” that this is so.

Forget for the moment that absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be stated about anything nor would there by such verbal constructs as “String Theory” and “M Theories” or the mathematical models that support “them”.

Remain “mindful” of the fact that once these sense enhancing devices are available, the “body” and “brain” of each presence called a “physicists” senses each something of substance with which it is interacting as physically vibrating, exhibiting vibrating characteristics; examples of which are its Historical Bias and its

Frequency and Intensity (F&I)

Geometry/Shape (G)

Spin (S)

Yet, despite the implications of these acts of sensing; namely:

(i) Every something of substance is vibrating (from the smallest something of substance to the largest something of substance); and,

(ii) Every vibrating something of something must be emerging from a “source and substance” that is vibrating,

these physicists strive to prove how each vibrating something of substance emerges from “nothing”....

When, in fact, there is no such “thing” as “nothing” -- only an underlying phenomenon -- an underlying physical presence -- that is always present and best represented by the word Vibration since this underlying physical presence is Vibration....

....a vibrating something of substance to which all vibrations with meaning are pointing....

....a vibrating something of substance that really exists in a vibrating in potential existential state until it acts upon itself through this Creative Process -- this vibrating interacting process.¹⁵

~~~

Beneath Words, each vibration (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”) emerges from Vibration and, once emerging, expresses itself as a vibrating something of substance exhibiting vibrating characteristics unique to it -- albeit there exist no vibrations with meaning and no vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” by which or in which to verbally state so.

However, Above Words, a “mind” within “its verbal reality” can verbally state:

Each vibration emerging from Vibration is a vibrating something of substance exhibiting vibrating characteristics unique to it.

And, that “mind” can learn to use these vibrations with meaning within “its verbal reality” to offer its verbal proof that this verbal statement is “true”.

B. Vibration As Source/Substance

So....how do I (or, more particularly, “my mind”) prove that:

At the most fundamental level of existence, every something of substance is a vibration exhibiting vibrating characteristics that are unique to “it”; we presences called “human” being no exceptions.

First, “my mind” has to accept the fact that the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that it uses to inform “its proof” are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that are always pointing to these facts:

Vibration is the “source and substance” of “all that exists”.

Each expression of Vibration is a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it.

All vibrations, once emerging from Vibration, comprise a single vibrating physical reality of which “my body/brain” is a “part”; a single vibrating physical reality with which “my body” is always interacting in a manner orchestrated by “my brain”.

Then, I have to experience/sense/feel this single vibrating physical reality, vibrationally, in my body. For example:

I choose to go for a walk in the park.

As my body is interacting with its surroundings in a manner orchestrated by my brain, I sense the “ground” as “solid”, the “air” as not “solid” and the “water” I “touch/taste” while walking a “liquid”.

I distinguish a vibrating something of substance called “solid” from a vibrating something of substance called “liquid” or “gas” due to the ability of “my body” to sense in a manner orchestrated by my “brain” the difference in vibrating characteristics among those vibrating somethings of substance called “solids” and those vibrating somethings of substance called “liquid” or “gas”.

~~~

Once “your mind” accepts the fact that Vibration is the source/substance of “all that exists” including “it”, then it becomes relatively easy for that “mind” to produce a “creation story/model of reality” that coherently simulates, vibrationally, the emergence of “everything” (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”).

It is as simple as that;

Yet, it is not that simple.

Since there is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there?

Of having to prove “true” to “all other minds” existing in “their verbal realities”

That what is being verbally stated in “story form” is

“True”

From all perspectives.¹⁶

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”

Franz Kafka*

____________

Simple verbal statements like this quote from Franz Kafka can be found at Maria Popova’s website, newsletter@brainpickings.org; a website that, in its own unique way, allows “you” to explore what physically lies Beneath Words using only “words”, “symbols” and “images”. The verbal statements of Toni Morrison and Susan Sontag that appear in this book are other examples of the penetrating verbal quotes that “you” can find when searching Maria Popova’s site; verbal statements that provide the “listener/reader” with a sense that there exists a physical reality that the “body/brain” is always experiencing beneath the words “life”, “death”, “love”, “sex” and the phrases “nonverbal communication” and “emotional intelligence”. As to this book, hopefully, the new kind of thinking presented within its “covers” will equate to the verbal axe that allows we presences called “human” to penetrate through the “words/symbols/images” that create and inform “our minds”, “our verbal reality” and our current kind of thinking into the vibrating physical reality that lies there; a vibrating physical reality in which all presences (no matter what their “name”, “number” or “species”) are always interacting/interconnecting/communicating vibrationally.

PART FOUR: POST LOGUE*

____________

*A dash ( “-”) is typically placed in front of the letters “l”, “o”, “g”, “u”, “e”, thereby setting forth a combining of the symbol and the letters into “-logue”; -logue being defined in most dictionaries as being part of combining with a “prefix” (such as “pro” or “epi” or “post”) yielding the words prologue, epilogue and the “phrase” post logue. Another example; using the letters, “D”, “e”, “c” and “a” (“Deca”) yielding the word, Decalogue (occasionally thought of as The Ten Commandments.

Reminder:

This Part Four sets forth a Post Logue; the Post Logue providing an overview of what you have been experiencing and will continue to experience on your journey.

The balance of this Book “sets the stage” for your moving on to the next book and the next part of your journey also offering a few Acknowledgements and some Suggested Readings for your consideration.

Concerning the writing of this Book, Part Two and Part Three were written first as was the segment of this Book entitled Moving On. Part One and Part Four of this Book were written later; their purpose being to provide a context for both “my writing” and each part of Your Journey, Beneath Words. Writing this book in this manner can lead to what appears to be quite a few “repetitions” (i.e. stating the “same thing” over and over again and again). Yet, for reasons stated elsewhere, I do find this repetition necessary.

More To The Point:

Your Journey, Beneath Words is comprised of twelve parts. You have now completed the first part of your journey. My intent in writing this Post Logue is to provide you a verbal description of the “territory” you have explored in part one of your journey as well as the “territory” you will be exploring in the remaining parts of your journey. Best practice is to read this Post Logue before Moving On.

In other words, this Post Logue serves as a separate writing relating to Your Journey, Beneath Words. In this sense, you can think of “it” as a separate book, that both elaborates upon this verbal journey in which you are now engaged and the challenges that Humanity must meet if it is to course-correct Humanity’s Wrong Turn and solve the “problems” that have emerged since that wrong turn.

POST LOGUE: ITS CONTENTS*

__________

Each part of this Post Logue applies to each part of Your Journey, Beneath Words. In this sense, best that you, the reader of these words, always keep this Post Logue “in mind” as “you” move onward on your journey. As to this specific Post Logue, think of it more like a postscript (P.S.) to a letter or an email or a text; an additional note to you, the reader of these words, about Your Journey, Beneath Words.

OPENING STATEMENT

THE MATTER OF PROOF

NOTE TO THE READER

A JOURNEY CALLED BENEATH WORDS

A FEW MORE WORDS

OPENING STATEMENT

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Albert Einstein

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge the symbols on which humanity depends.”

Alfred North Whitehead

I find it “curious” that, of the many great mysteries that occupy the human mind, the questions:

What is the universe made of?

What is Consciousness?

Are two questions of prominence that the scientific community is addressing with, seemingly, no thought given to the fact that absent the presence of words, symbols and images, these questions could neither be asked or answered.*

Even more to the point, I find it “curious” that we “humans” can be concerned about our “emotions”, our “feelings” and our “experiences” and how it has come to be that we

“see” “colors”, “shapes”, “pictures”, “images”, “marks”

“hear” “music”, “whistles”, “songs”, “sounds”

“smell” “roses”, “fragrances”, “odors”

“taste” “oranges”, “flavors”

“touch” “skin”

“sense”

Without have an understanding that absence the presence of these sounds and marks called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be stated about these “senses”.

“Words” are strange “bedfellows”; they occupy “your mind” at night and they provide context for whatever acts you choose to pursue during the day.

__________

*See special 2005 issue of the journal, Science, which ranked these two questions at the top of its list of mysteries to be solved. Yet, absent the presence of words and the symbols and images that accompany them, these questions could not be ranked. What are called “words/symbols/images” emerge from the same “stuff” in the same manner as what are called the “universe”, “Consciousness”, “reality” “body”, “brain”, “mind” and “verbal reality”. Thus, it seems the most fundamental questions to ask/answer -- the most fundamental mysteries to solve -- are: (i) What is the true nature of words, symbols and images; (ii) From whence do they emerge?

In fact, a similar statement can be said for “symbols” and “images” since

(i) “symbols” can carry with them (over the eons) deep messages -- particularly if we know how to listen to them; and,

(ii) “images” can create a “picture” that complements any act of wording --

particularly if we know how to read them.

The Point

“Words mean. Words point. They are arrows. Arrows stuck in the rough hide of reality.” Susan Santag

It is to this “reality” into which “our bodies/brains” are birthed that words, symbols and images point (as signs); but only after “our bodies” in a manner coordinated by “our brains” can produce what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” in the form of sounds and marks (or, more particularly, vibrations) using the mechanics of “voice” and “writing hand”....the latter aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface.

Examples of a marking tool being a “stick”, “stone”, “twig with pigment”, “a piece of carbon”, “ink pen”, “printing press”, “typewriter”, “keyboard, etc.

Examples of a smooth surface being a “smooth sand”, “dirt”, “wall of cave”, “parchment”, “paper”, computer screen.

It is in a similar manner that these sounds/mark/vibrations called “words” “symbols” and “images” point to the answer to these two questions:

What is the universe made of?

What is Consciousness?

And the answers to all other questions created by “the mind”....answers that the “mind” does discover once “it” really learns how to listen and to read; this “learning” to listen/read being quite a “journey”.

Learning To Listen; Learning To Read

For a new born “infant”, learning to speak/write/read/listen is not easy. This “infant” can sound (cry/coo) and mark (defecate/urinate). Yet, typically, this “infant” needs a “teacher” to help this “infant” learn to speak/write/read/listen sounds/marks called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

And that is the point: At birth, an “infant” has no “words”, “symbols” and “images” at its disposal nor does this “infant” have a “verbal reality” and a “mind” created and informed by “them”. This “infant” has to learn how to produce “words/symbols/images” using its “body” (i.e. producing sounds/marks in a manner coordinated by its “brain”) before it has a “verbal reality” and a “mind”.

However, once this “infant” has a “mind”, “its mind” is taught by a “teacher” to use these sounds/marks called “words/symbols/images” in a manner acceptable to the “tribe” or “community” into which the “infant” was birthed.

In other words, from the moment this “infant” emerges at birth, he/she/it is “trained” (schooled) to shape these sounds/marks called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into the current way of thinking that is embedded in his/her “tribe” or “community” and in “its language”; a current kind of thinking that his/her/its “tribe” or “community” uses to tell “its creation stories” concerning how it comes to be that he/she/it and its tribe/community emerged.

*****

Initially, members of a tribe or community interacted (“communicated”), vibrationally, by shaping what is now thought of and called “Sound/Light” (Vibration) into specific sounds and specific marks (specific vibrations); the “language” of each tribe or community emerging in this manner....

....examples being “clicking” or “whistling” (a function of Vibration called “Sound”) and “drawing” (a function of Vibration called “Light” -- since no “drawing” can be “seen” in the “dark”).

However, ultimately, as each “tribe/community” emerged with its own way of thinking, it became easier for the “tribe/community”....

....to teach a current kind of thinking that treats each of these specific sounds/marks -- each of these specific vibrations -- as being just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more.....

....the “meaning” of each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” being defined by other “words”, “symbols” and “images”

Rather than to teach another way of thinking (a new kind of thinking) that embraces “words”, “symbols” and “images” as specific sounds/mark/vibrations

(i) that emerge from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”; and,

(ii) whose meaning emerges from the vibrations that lies beneath “them”.

*****

Learning this new kind of thinking is not easy for a “mind”, particularly when it has been “trained” (educated) in a current kind of thinking that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more. A similar statement applies to teaching this new kind of thinking.

What is required are certain linguistic mechanics that disrupt the normal cadence/rhythm of the mind’s speaking and reading style, thereby allowing the “mind” to really experience the spoken and written “word/symbol/image” as a vibration that emerges from “its body/brain” in the form of a sound/mark....

....a vibration whose meaning must be really listened to/read, vibrationally....

....if “it” (the sound/mark) is to be really understood.*

__________

*See Author’s Preparatory Comment for examples of these linguistic mechanics; four examples being (i) the phrase, “what is now thought of and called”; (ii) the word, “called”, (iii) quotation marks (“ ”) and (iv) bold, italic print.

A New Kind Of Thinking

What is now thought of and called a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image” is really a vibration expressed in the form of a sound or mark whose meaning emerges from the vibration that lies beneath it and upon which it is superposed; these vibrations with meaning pointing (like signs) to the vibrations that lay beneath them....“signs” that “your mind” must learn to read/listen if “you” are to understand their coded meaning/message.*

In this sense, what is now thought of and called a “word” is a vibration as is what is now thought of and called a “symbol” or an “image”; meaning that at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among “words”,

“symbols” and “images”....each being a vibration with meaning having vibrating characteristics unique to “it” by which “it” can be distinguished and identified.

In this sense, what is now thought of and called the “body” is a vibration as is what is now thought of and called the “brain”; meaning that at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among “bodies” and “brains”....each being a vibrating existential state having vibrating characteristics unique to “it” by which “it” can be distinguished and identified.

In this sense, what is now thought of and called the “mind” is a vibration as is what is now thought of and called “its verbal reality”; meaning that at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among “minds” and “their verbal realities”....each being a vibrating existential state having vibrating characteristics unique to “it” by which “it” can be distinguished and identified.

It being within each verbal reality/mind that each vibration with meaning equates to a vibrating linguistic lens called a “projection”, a “measurement” and a “thought” through which the mind (while dwelling within its verbal reality) views and produces verbal statements (“stories”) concerning “anything”, “everything”, “something” or “nothing”.

__________

*Simply stated: Words, symbols and images are vibrations that point (as signs) to the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue “them” with meaning; learning to listen to/read their coded meaning/message being quite the challenge.

The Point

It was only after the first word emerged in the form of a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that any verbal statement could be made.

It was only after the first word emerged in the form of a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that the first mind and its verbal reality emerged as vibrating existential states.

It was only after many more of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning (now called “words”, “symbols” and “images”) emerged that anything of “substance” could be verbally stated such as what are now thought of and called

mysteries with solutions: questions with answers

Ironically, that is the way it is with these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and each of these two collective vibrations called “verbal reality/reality”; each word, symbol and image allowing each mind (while existing in its verbal reality) to speak in code about what is going on beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them and beneath each “mind/verbal reality” and these linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements”, “thoughts” that inform “our stories”.

It is as simple as that; yet, it is not that simple

Since it is easy for the “mind” once emerging within “its verbal reality” to “think” that “the word” is “the thing” (e.g. a “tree” is only a “tree”/ “life” is only “life”) as opposed to “the word” standing in for/representing the vibration (e.g. the vibration called “tree”/ the vibration called “life”); easy for the “mind” to measure a “thing” as “vibrating” rather than measure a vibration that is vibrating.

Easy for the “mind” once emerging within “its verbal reality” to “project” many “stories” upon the reality in which “its body/brain” resides: no “thought” being given by “the mind” to the fact that what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really signs -- vibrations with meaning that must be really heard (really listened to if spoken) or really seen (really read if marked)....if they are to be really understood.

A New Kind Of Thinking Concerning:

Mysteries/Solutions: Questions/Answers

All “mysteries” are produced by “the mind”, using the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that both create and inform “it” and “its verbal reality”. Within the “mind” and “its verbal reality”, “words”, “symbols” and “images” serve as “linguistic lenses” through which the “mind” (while dwelling within its “verbal reality”) views and produces verbal statements (“stories”) concerning

(i) the physical reality in which “its body/brain” dwells;

(ii) the source and substance of this physical reality; and,

(iii) the experiences that “its body” is sensing as its “body” is interacting (“communicating”) with this physical reality and this source/substance in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

*****

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you could not verbally state anything about anything; yet you would still exist.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you could not produce any verbal statements. Nor could you produce any “story” in the form of a “mystery” with “its solution” or a “verbal statement” in the form of a “question” with “its answer”.

In fact, absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you would give “no mind” to “solutions” or “answers” since you would have neither a “verbal reality” or a “mind” in which any “mysteries/questions” appear.

Yet, “you” would still exist, Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them.*

__________

*Keep in mind that when you or I are really speaking/writing we are doing so in code; our “words” serving as “signs” that require a listening/reading in a much deeper sense if “we” are to arrive at a “true understanding”....a real agreement.

The Point

What are called “words”, “symbols” and “images” create and inform what are called “verbal realities” and “minds”, thereby allowing all “minds” (while existing within their respective verbal realities) to interact and interconnect (communicate) about how it comes to be that there exists “anything” including “them”.

In other words, absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, there would exist no ability to “think”, to “measure” or to “project” using “them” within a “verbal reality” and “mind” created and informed by “them”. No ability to verbally state in a reductionistic manner that:

“I have a body, a brain and a mind; a body/brain/mind comprised of

cells, molecules, atoms, particles and such things as

quarks or strings.”

*****

Absent the presence of our words, our symbols and our images, there would be no verbal reality/mind in which we presences called “human” could produce any verbal statement (including the verbal statements that you have just read) nor any reductionistic “thinking/measuring/projecting”.

Yet, each of we presences called “human” would still exist, holistically, in a vibrating existential state as a vibration; being “present” in the “present moment”, with no ability to verbally state so.

....no “mind” being given to any “mystery” or “question”....

....no solution or answer being proposed in a reductionistic manner....

....no “thought” being given to a past or a future.*

_________

*By holistically, I mean as a “part” of the “whole”; each “part” emerging in each present moment called “Now” as a vibration that is a “part” of the “whole”; the “whole” being Vibration.

This Mystery Called “Evolution”

Hard to believe, but “true”: What is now thought of and called “evolution” is a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. Frequently called a natural selecting process, this vibrating interacting (selecting) process can be thought of as a natural process of renormalizing by which Vibration acts upon its infinite potential and produces a “physical reality” in the same way each of we vibrations called “human” acts upon his/her human potential and produces his/her “verbal reality”.

Frequently, called “creationism”, this vibrating interacting (selecting) process is the Creative Process by which each expression of “all that exists” emerges as a vibration exhibiting a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring vibrating acts of selecting previously made.*

__________

*Examples of this natural bias are “DNA”, “RNA”, “genes” and “memes”.

All “creation stories” emerge in this manner as do all “theories”, “models of reality”, “speculative philosophies” and “theologies” as well as all “metaphysical” and “physical explanations” concerning

What Is “true/real”: What is “false/not real”.

It can be no other way.

Through this vibrating interacting (selecting) process, what is called a “body” emerges first, be that “body” called a “particle”, a “wave”, a “field of potential”, a “string” or some other “thing”. Then emerges what is called “the brain”. Then emerges what is called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. Then emerges what is called “a mind” and “its verbal reality”; a “verbal reality in which these words/symbols/images are used by “the mind” as “projections”, “measurements” and “projections”, thereby allowing “the mind” to produces its “verbal statements/stories” about “anything”, “everything”, “something” or “nothing”.

Frequently called an “interacting force” (e.g. “strong”, “weak”, “electro”, “magnetic”, “gravitational”), this vibrating interacting (selecting) process is the process by which each expression of “all that exists” emerges as a vibration....

....having vibrating characteristics by which it can be distinguished by the “body” through vibrating acts called sensing and vibrating acts called “wording”....

....vibrating acts of wording that both create and inform these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”....

....it being within “its verbal reality” that each “mind” uses these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses....

....through which the “mind” vibrationally views and

vibrationally produces “verbal statements/stories” about....

What Is Real/What Is Not Real

Each expression of all that exists emerges in this manner as a vibration (no matter by what “name”, “number” or “species” this vibration is called)....

....each “species” of vibration having, in common, vibrating characteristics by which “it” can be identified....

....common vibrating characteristics that allow this “species” (or, more particularly, “its body” and “its brain”) to perform vibrating acts unique to “it”.

Each expression of all that exists emerges in this manner; we vibrations called “human” being no exceptions; albeit we emerge with “bodies/brain” that are unique to “us” and can readily be vibrationally sensed as different from the “bodies/brains” of “other species” (e.g. a “lion” or a “wolf” or a “cat” or a “dog”).

Each expression of all that exists emerges in this way; we vibrations called “human”, these vibrations with meaning called our “words/symbols/images” and these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality/mind” being no exceptions. It being how we use our verbal realities/minds and our words,

symbols and images that make a difference. It can be no other way.

This Mystery Called “The Human Body”

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be verbally stated about the “human body” nor could anything be verbally stated about “its brain” nor would there exists a “verbal reality” in which the “mind” can perform its “thinking”, its “measuring” and its “projecting”.

Present the presence words, symbols and images, anything can be verbally stated by a “mind” about “it” as well as “its body” and “its brain”.

It is only after a “mind” and “its verbal reality” are created and informed by “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”, that the “mind” (while dwelling in its “verbal reality”) can....in a reductionistic manner....“slice and dice” what is holistically existing as a whole into “parts”, performing acts of “thinking”, “measuring” and “projecting” to do so -- the “human body” being no exception.

*****

What is called “thinking” is a reductionistic act as is what is called “thought”.

What is called “measuring” is a reductionistic act as is what is called “measurement”.

What is called “projecting” is a reductionistic act as is what is called “projection”.

All acts of “thinking/measuring/projecting” (be they called “inductive” or “deductive”) are reductionistic as are all “thoughts”, “measurements” and “projections” produced by “thinking/measuring/projecting”.

It can be no other way

It is the way we presences called “human” have learned to communicate verbally using our “words”, “symbols” and “images” as “thoughts”, “measurements” and “projections” within our minds and our verbal realities.

It is the way we presences called “human” produce “our verbal stories” in a

reductionistic manner, concerning: What Is Real/What Is Not Real.

*****

.

All acts of “thinking”, “measuring” and “projecting” are reductionistic; the current way of thinking -- the current kind of thinking -- in which we “presences” called “human” are now being schooled being no exception.

All acts of “storytelling” are reductionistic; each “creation story”, “model of reality” and “theory of everything” being no exception.

It can be no other way!

Yet, the real journey using “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” lies in “your mind” producing that one/best story that simulates in a coherent manner the emerging of all that exists including what is now thought of and called “physical reality” as well as:

(i) all “bodies” (including each “human body”);

(ii) all “brains” (including each “human brain”);

(iii) all “words/symbols/images”;

(iv) all “verbal realities/minds”;

(v) all “projections/measurements/thoughts”;

(vi) all “verbal statements/stories”

Since, if the “creation story”, “model of reality” or “theory” upon which “your mind” is relying is based upon a way of thinking (a current kind of thinking) that is “wrong”, then having “your body/brain/mind” take actions based upon this story/model/theory can lead to unpredictable and surprising results raising “mysteries” and “questions” concerning “your survival”....

....results that will require a new way of thinking (a new kind of thinking) -- particularly about “words/symbols/images” and how “they” are used.

This Mystery Called “The Brain”

Each expression of all that exists is a vibration expressing vibrating characteristics unique to “it”: what is now thought of and called a “body” being no exception; what is now thought of and called a “body with a brain” being no exception.

Once emerging, each “brain” is always orchestrating the interacting/communicating that is occurring within “its body”. And “it” is always orchestrating the interacting/communicating that is occurring outside “its body”

In other words, each “brain”, once emerging, is always orchestrating what “its body” is experiencing, vibrationally, as “its body” is interacting/communicating, vibrationally, with “its surroundings”.

However, although each “body” as a vibration is always experiencing/sensing, vibrationally, this interacting/communicating present moment by present moment, “its brain”, once emerging, is always shaping/constructing (orchestrating) this vibrational interacting/communicating into vibrating patterns....

....vibrating patterns that “your brain” is “shaping/constructing” (orchestrating)....

....thereby allowing you to “survive” (i.e. “be fit”).

Additionally, it is the “brain” that coordinates the production of the “words”, “symbols” and “images” using the mechanics of “voice” and “hand”, thereby allowing “you” to have not only a “body” and a “brain” but also a “verbal reality” and “mind” in which “your words”, “your symbols” and “yours image” serve as linguistic lenses through which you view and produce “stories” about this “single reality” in which “your body/brain/mind” dwells....stories that allow you to survive and to thrive (i.e. “be really fit”).

Thus, in order for “your mind” to understand what “your body” is really experiencing, as it interacts vibrationally with “its surrounding”, “your mind”

must understanding how “your brain” works and how “life” works.

The Point

Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about any “body” and any “brain” including “your body/brain”.

Yet,

The “I” that is “You” emerged at birth

As an holistic vibrating existential state -- a vibration

Without having at your disposal

These vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”

And

These two vibration existential states called “verbal reality/mind”.

It being only after you have “your mind” that you can within “your verbal reality’

produce a verbal statement (“story”) concerning “you”,

“your body/brain/mind” and their emergence.

*****

There are many verbal statements/stories that can and have been told by many minds concerning the emergence of (i) each body and each brain; (ii) each word/symbol/image and (iii) each verbal reality/mind”, using words, symbols and images as linguistic lenses called “projections/measurements/thoughts” to do so.

Yet, the only way you can arrive at the best story by which to describe the emergence of all that exists including each “body/brain/mind” is to use a new kind of thinking that embraces (i) each word/symbol/image as a vibration with meaning and (ii) each verbal reality/mind as a vibrating existential state

Each vibration with meaning points to Vibration being the source and substance of all that exists including this collective vibration called “physical reality” and these two vibrating existential states called “the body” and “its brain”; the latter orchestrating (shaping constructing) the vibrating interacting that “its body” is experiencing into vibrating patterns that its body can distinguish through acts of sensing and “its mind” (once emerging in a manner coordinated by “its brain”) can identify by superposing a vibrations with meaning in the form of a sound or mark upon it (the vibrating pattern).

THE MATTER OF PROOF

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Albert Einstein

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge the symbols on which humanity depends.”

Alfred North Whitehead

In the Prologue, I the writer of these words, have set forth a series of verbal statements with which you, the reader of these words, may or may not agree.

As examples, consider each of these series of verbal statements:

First Example

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you could not verbally state anything about anything; yet you would still exist.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you could not produce any verbal statements. Nor could you produce any “story” in the form of a “mystery” with “its solution” or a “verbal statement” in the form of a “question” with “its answer”.

In fact, absent the presence of words, symbols and images, you would give “no mind” to “solutions” or “answers” since you would have neither a “verbal reality” or a “mind” in which any “mysteries/questions” appear.

Yet, “you” would still exist, Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them.*

__________

*Keep in mind that when you or I are really speaking/writing we are doing so in code; our “words” serving as “signs” that require a listening/reading in a much deeper sense if “we” are to arrive at a “true understanding”....a real agreement.

Second Example

Hard to believe, but “true”: What is now thought of and called “evolution” is a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. Frequently called a natural selecting process, this vibrating interacting (selecting) process can be thought of as a natural process of renormalizing by which Vibration acts upon its infinite potential and produces a “physical reality” in the same way each of we vibrations called “human” acts upon his/her human potential and produces his/her “verbal reality”.

Frequently, called “creationism”, this vibrating interacting (selecting) process is the Creative Process by which each expression of “all that exists” emerges as a vibration exhibiting a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring vibrating acts of selecting previously made.*

Frequently called an “interacting force” (e.g. “strong”, “weak”, “electro”, “magnetic”, “gravitational”), this vibrating interacting (selecting) process is the process by which each expression of “all that exists” emerges as a vibration....

....having vibrating characteristics by which it can be distinguished by the “body” through vibrating acts called sensing and vibrating acts called “wording”....

....vibrating acts of wording that both create and inform these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”....

....it being within “its verbal reality” that each “mind” uses these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses....

....through which the “mind” vibrationally views and

vibrationally produces “verbal statements/stories” about....

What Is Real/What Is Not Real

All “creation stories” emerge in this manner as do all “theories”, “models of reality”, “speculative philosophies” and “theologies” as well as all “metaphysical” and “physical explanations” concerning

What Is “true/real”: What is “false/not real”.

It can be no other way.

__________

*Examples of this natural bias are “DNA”, “RNA”, “genes” and “memes”.

*****

Now Consider This:

Admittedly, it is easy for me to produce verbal statements like those set forth in the Prologue. And, it is also easy for me to produce a “model of reality” based upon an underlying physical phenomenon -- an underlying physical presence -- called Vibration being the source/substance of “all that exists....

....an underlying physical presence to which all sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” are always pointing....

....an underlying physical presence called Vibration that can always be sensed as vibrating....

....an underlying physical presence that that is always present.*

What is difficult is my proving to you that these verbal statements are “true”.

It is to this matter of “proof” that we now turn.

__________

As should now be apparent to you, the reader of these words, I “believe” that the source and substance of all that exists is Vibration and that the best word to explain/describe (simulate) this source/substance is Vibration since all sounds/mark/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” point to this fact (as signs). I also believe that the process by which Vibration acts upon itself is a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. The “model of reality” that I have produced is based upon this “belief” and on this new kind of thinking to which you have now been introduced. It (this model of reality) will be gradually introduced to you along the way on Your Journey, Beneath Words. At this stage in your journey, it is relatively easy for you to not agree with my “belief”. At best, you may consider my words as evidencing only a speculative “theory” -- yet to be proved scientifically. Yet, consider this: based upon our current kind of thinking, the only way to prove any “thing” exists is to measure “it” as vibrating. Thus, for example, this “thing” called a “cell” or a “molecule” or an “atom” or a “particle” or a “string” exists only if it can be measured as vibrating. This new kind of thinking upon which this model of reality is based simply complements this current kind of thinking by treating each of these “things” as a vibration -- a vibration called “string”, “particle”, “atom” et. seq....it is a simple as that.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

Nikola Tesla

“Everything in life is Vibration.”

Albert Einstein

This Mystery Called “Life”

Erwin Schrödinger asks the question “What is Life”? in a book bearing the same title. The simple answer is:

Life is Vibration: Vibration is Life

Yet, verbally answering this question in this simplistic manner misses these points:

Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything nor could any question be asked or answered.

Present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive (+) can also be verbally stated in the negative (-); the potential (p) to do so being present in each present moment called “Now”.

For example, I, the writer of these words, have the potential -- human potential (p) to make verbal statements in each present moment called “Now” concerning what I believe to be “true”. And, I have the ability to actualize this human potential (p) by making these five verbal statements.

~~~~~

Five Verbal Statements

Life as vibration is always emerging, vibrationally, moment by moment in each present moment called “Now” out of Vibration as source/substance;

Vibration being an underlying phenomenon -- an underlying presence:

(i) that is always present, vibrationally, in each present moment called “Now”; and,

(ii) to which all sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning are pointing.

Life as vibration is always emerging, vibrationally, moment by moment in each present moment called “Now” pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process frequently called a natural selecting process (“evolution”) and occasionally called a natural process of renormalizing or an interactive force (e.g. strong, weak, electro, magnetic, gravitation -- both classical and quantum).

In each present moment called “Now” each “body” (as a vibration) is always interacting/interconnecting (communicating), vibrationally, with each other “body” (as a vibration); a similar verbal statement applying to each “body” with a “brain”.

Yet, it is only after a “body” in a manner coordinated by its “brain” has produced sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that this “body/brain” has a “mind” in which it can verbally state anything including asking and answering the question

What Is Life?

And, it is only after a “body” in a manner coordinated by its “brain” has produced sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that this “body/brain” has a “mind” in which it can verbally state an answer to this question; that answer being:

Vibration

Yet, my verbal statements concerning what I believe to be “true” can become a “problem” for you since once you, the reader of these words, listen to or read my verbal statements you can simply agree (+) or not agree (-) with what I, the writer of these words, have verbally stated; a not agreeing that can, potentially, lead to verbal conflict or physical conflict concerning:

Who Is Right/Who Is Wrong

Alternatively, you, the reader of these words, have the potential -- human potential (p) -- to make your own verbal statements concerning what you believe to be “true”; verbal statements with which I may agree (+) or not agree (-)....

....also potentially leading to verbal or physical conflict....

....it being “our choice” (an act of selecting) as to whether we

(i) not agree -- remain in conflict (-); or,

(ii) agree -- arrive at a mutually acceptable agreement (+).

Indeed, similar verbal statements concerning the potential (p) to agree (+) or not agree (-) apply:

(i) to each presence called “human” once he/she has “words”; and,

(ii) all presences called “human” once “they” have “words”.

Thus, the challenge for we presence called “human” (Humanity as a whole) lies in using our “words”, “symbols” and “images” to arrive at verbal agreements concerning

What is real/What is not real

Since it is only by arriving at a common verbal agreement that we humans, or more particularly, our collective human mind, can prove anything “true”.*

__________

*The bold letter p symbolizes human potential, a potential (p) that exists in each presence called “human” to make “choices” in each present moment called “Now”); each “choice” being an act of selecting....a vibrating act of selecting that each of we “human” individually make by acting upon his/her potential (p) pursuant to the same vibrating interacting selecting process by which Vibration acts upon its Potential (P). The symbol + representing the selection actualized; the symbol - representing the selection(s) not actualized.

Now Consider This:

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be “thought”; the act of thinking being a function of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be “measured”; the act of measuring being a function of “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Absent the presence of “words”, a “word” could not be projected upon anything of substance; the act of projecting being a function of “words”; a similar statement applying the “symbols” and “images”.

Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, no verbal “equation”, “rule” or “theory” would exist such as

E=MC²

The Rule of Law

The Theory of Relativity

In fact, absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, neither of these verbal statements could be made:

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

“Everything in life is Vibration.” Albert Einstein

Nor could “you” or “I” verbally state:

I am a presence called “human”;

I have a “body”, a “brain” and a “mind”.

Yet, present the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, any presence called “human” having “words” can agree/not agree with what has been verbally stated.

The Burden Of “Proof”

The only way any two or more presences called “human” can prove any verbal statement “true” is for them to verbally agree that the verbal statement is “true”.

For example:

Once they have “words”, “symbols” and “images” at their disposal, each member of a group (be it a “tribe”, “community” or a “subset” thereof) as a “speaker” or “writer” always has the potential (p) to interact (“communicate”), verbally, with the other members of the group and the potential (p) to make a verbal statement to the other members of the group concerning what he/she (i.e. the speaker or writer) believes to be “true”.

In response, each other member of the group has the potential (p) to interact (“communicate”), verbally, with the speaker/writer and the potential (p) to agree (+) or not agree (-) with the speaker/writer’s verbal statement.

In fact, this verbal interacting/communicating is always occurring among members of a group -- no matter whether they are verbally interacting in matters of “religion”, “politics”, “science”, “economics”, etc.

In this regard, two members of the group may agree (+) or not agree (-) on

(i) matters of “economics” (e.g. “economy good/economy not good”);

(ii) matter of “politics” (e.g. “abortion good/abortion not good” );

(iii) matters of “religion” (e.g. “God/Not God”);

(iv) matters of “science” (e.g. “Live Vibration/Life Not Vibration).

Similarly, certain members of the group may agree (+)/not agree (-) with other members of the group on matters of “economics”, “politics”, “religion” and “science”, potentially (p) dividing the “group” into two groups; one comprised of those members agreeing (+); the other comprised of those members not agreeing

(-)

*****

Frequently, these matters of agreeing/not agreeing do lead to verbal conflict or physical conflict: a verbal debating or a physical fighting over

Who Is Right/Who Is Not Right

And, frequently, once emerging, these “matters of conflict” are verbally resolved by a “trier of fact”.*

Yet, it is submitted that the only way any verbal statement can really be proved “true” between any two presences called “human” or among Humanity as a whole is for that verbal statement to be accepted (through verbal agreement), vibrationally as “true” both in “body/brain” (sensing) and in “verbal reality/mind” (identifying).

In other words, in order for a verbal statement to (really) be accepted (through verbal agreement) as “true”, the verbal statement has to be:

(i) sensed, vibrationally, as “true” in each “body/brain”; and,

(ii) identified, vibrationally, as “true” by the “mind”.

It can be no other way

*****

More To The Point:

__________

*For example, the “trier of fact” may be just one “person” (e.g. the “ruler” -- the “king/queen” of the group) or a “judge” in a “court” to which all members of the group must respond. Or the “trier of fact” may be a “peer group” (e.g. a “jury” or a group of “scholars” or a group of “experts” or a group of “organizations”).

This Matter Called “Proof”

How do you prove any verbal statement true?

Proving a verbal statement “true” is quite a “burden”; particularly if you are skating along the surface of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, treating each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” as being only a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image” -- nothing more (current way of thinking -- current kind of thinking).

In other words, as long as you continue to treat each “word/symbol/image” as only a “word”, a “symbol” or an “images (nothing more), you will find “yourself” circling in the verbal (Above Words) rather than diving deep beneath the verbal (Beneath Words).*

In fact, as long as you are treating each “word/symbol/image” as only a “word”, a “symbol” or an “images (nothing more) what is “true” is that any verbal agreeing/not agreeing that does occur between “you” and another presence called “human” is only occurring within “your minds” and “their verbal realities”:

(i) this verbal agreeing producing in that present moment of agreeing a common mind and a common verbal reality (+);

(ii) this verbal not agreeing producing in that present moment of not agreeing two “minds” and two “verbal realities” in conflict (-).

That being the way this current kind of thinking works -- an agreeing/not agreeing that emerges only in the “mind” and “its verbal reality”; no thought being given to what lies beneath the “words/symbols/images” that inform this agreeing/not agreeing.

__________

*To prove this “fact”, consult a dictionary of your choice with the purpose of seeking the meaning of a “word” and note that the meaning of this “word” is based upon other “words” whose meaning you now must seek -- a “seeking” that can (and frequently does) lead you back to the initial “word” whose meaning you were seeking.

For example:

Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images” nothing could be proved “true” verbally including proving “true” this bold verbal statement:

I exist as a presence called “human” even if I have no “words”, “symbols” and “images” at my disposal by which I can verbally state so.

However, present the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, not only do I have the potential (p) to make this bold verbal statement; you have the potential (p) to agree (+) or not agree (-) with this bold verbal statement.

If you agree with my bold verbal statement, then as between “us”, this bold verbal statement is “true”....proved “true” verbally; this burden of proof being satisfied, verbally, as between the presence that is called “you” and the presence that is called “me”.

If you not agree with my bold verbal statement, then as between “us”, this bold verbal statement is “not true”....not proved “true” verbally; this burden of proof being not satisfied, verbally, as between you and me.

However

What is occurring is only a verbal agreement emerging in “our verbal realities” and “our minds” above words.

And, although there is emerging between us a common verbal reality/mind as evidenced by our agreement, this agreeing is only occurring Above Words with no thought being given to what is occurring Beneath Words....i.e. in “our bodies”, “our brains” and the common physical reality in which “our bodies/brains” dwell.

In other words:

Our acts of agreeing/not agreeing are embedded only in our “verbal realities minds”; each “mind” and “its verbal reality” existing Above Words with no “thought” being given to what lies Beneath Words.

Another Way

Yet, there is another way of thinking -- a new kind of thinking that treats each “word/symbol/image” as a vibration expressed in the form of a sound or a mark whose meaning is associated with the vibration (the vibrating something of substance) that lies beneath “it” and to which “it” is pointing (like a sign)....

....a new kind of thinking that treats what is called “body/brain/mind” as a collective vibration....

....a new kind of thinking that treats agreeing/not agreeing as a vibrating act involving:

(i) not only “the mind” and “its verbal reality;

(ii) but also “the body” and “its brain”.

For example:

Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” nothing could be proved “true” verbally including proving “true” this bold verbal statement:

I exist as a vibration called “human” even if I have no sounds/marks vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” at my disposal by which I can verbally state so.

However, present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning, not only do I have the potential (p) to make this bold verbal statement; you have the potential (p) to agree (+) or not agree (-) with this bold verbal statement.

In this sense:

If you not agree (-) with my bold verbal statement, then as between “us”, this bold verbal statement is “not true”....not proved “true” vibrationally; this burden of

proof being not satisfied, verbally, as between you and me.

If you agree (+) with my bold verbal statement, then as between “us”, this bold verbal statement is “true”....proved “true” vibrationally; this burden of proof being satisfied, verbally, as between the vibration that is called “you” and the vibration that is called “me”.

More To The Point:

Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated, vibrationally, about anything nor would “you” and “I” have the potential (p) to agree (+) or not agree (-), vibrationally, that the following italicized verbal statement (sounded/marked vibrationally) is “true”:

~~~

The “body” emerges first (as a vibration); then emerges the “brain” as a vibration (the “body/brain” being a collective vibration); then emerge these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and” images” and then emerge these two vibrating existential states called the “mind” and “its verbal reality: it being within these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “its verbal reality” that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the mind views, vibrationally, and produces “stories”, vibrationally, about:

(i) the vibrating physical reality in which its “body/brain” dwells as a collective vibration; and,

(ii) Vibration....Vibration being the source and substance of this vibrating physical reality and all vibrations dwelling therein.

~~~

Yet, present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, I can make this italicized verbal statement.

In fact, present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, we (you and I) would have the potential (p) either to agree (+) or not agree (-), vibrationally (verbally), that this italicized verbal statement is “true”.*

Yet, it is submitted that as long as you are treating “words”, “symbols” and “images” as only “words”, symbols” and “images” (nothing more) proving my italicized verbal statement “true” to you is highly unlikely since we would simply negotiating our agreeing/not agreeing (Above Words) with no “thought” being given to what lies Beneath Words.

*****

Simply stated:

There is a different way of thinking that is available to “you”; a kind of thinking that must now be labelled “new”; it being a new kind of thinking that embraces these verbal statements:

A.

Absent the presence of the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that inform “our minds” and “our verbal realities” in which this verbal agreeing/not agreeing is occurring, there would still exists this physical reality in which “our bodies” and “our brains” dwell; a physical reality in which “our bodies” and “our brains” exist...

....having the potential (p) to either produce (+) or not produce (-) these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”,

“symbols” and “images”....

....using the mechanics of “voice” and “hand” -- the latter aided by a “marking tool” applied to a “smooth surface”.

B.

The “body” emerges first (as a vibration); then emerges the “brain” as a vibration (the “body/brain” being a collective vibration); then emerge these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and” images” and then emerge these two vibrating existential states called the “mind” and “its verbal reality: it being within these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “its verbal reality” that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the mind views, vibrationally, and produces “stories”, vibrationally, about:

(i) the vibrating physical reality in which its “body/brain” dwells as a collective vibration; and,

(ii) Vibration....Vibration being the source and substance of this vibrating physical reality and all vibrations dwelling therein.

C.

If a vibration called “human” seeks to prove a verbal statement “true” to another vibration called “human”, the only way to do so is for each of “them”:

(i) to sense, vibrationally, that the verbal statement is true in each of their bodies/brains/minds; and,

(ii) to agree, vibrationally, that the verbal statement is “true”.

If a vibration called “human” seeks to prove a verbal statement “true” to all vibrations called “human”, the only way to do so is for all of them:

(i) to sense, vibrationally, that the verbal statement is true in each of their bodies/brains/minds; and,

(ii) to agree, vibrationally, that the verbal statement is “true”.

It can be no other way!

Do you agree/not agree?

That being the ultimate question for you to answer;

an answer that I, the writer of these words,

request you postpose verbalizing

Until you have completed

All parts of you

Journey

Beneath Words

What Is Life?

What is called “Life” emerges vibrationally in each present moment called “Now”. What I experience/sense vibrationally in each “Now” is what is. Writing about “what is” can only be written by me in each present moment called “Now” using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”. In this sense, each of my writings “paints a picture” of what I am experiencing in that moment. In this sense, one writing emerging in one present moment leads to the next until, intuitively, there is that moment when a series of writings appearing in that moment (e.g. this book) is finished, thereby allowing me to move on to the next moment and the next writing (assuming I choose to do so). It can be no other way.

Each sound/mark/vibration with meaning emerges from “my body” in a manner coordinated by “my brain” as “my body/brain” (a collective vibration) is interacting vibrationally with “its surrounding reality” in a manner orchestrated by “my brain”. Once emerging, each of these sounds/marks/vibrations serve as code (a vibrating bit of information), representing the vibration that lies beneath “it”. As each of these sounds/marks/vibrations emerge, “it” creates and informs these two vibrating existential states called “my mind” and “my verbal reality”. It is how I use my “body”, “brain” and “mind” that makes a difference.

In an evolutionary sense

It can be no other way for “me”

And, in an evolutionary sense,

It can be no other way for “you”

Or any “human”.

*****

It is as simple as that.

Yet it is not that simple.

Since there is always this matter of proof.

The matter of having to prove

To the collective mind of Humanity

That what is being stated, vibrationally, is “true”, vibrationally,

Both

In each verbal reality in which each mind dwells (Above Words)

And

In this single physical reality in which all “bodies/brains” dwell

Beneath Words

*****

This matter of proof being quite a burden.

The burden of having to produce

That one best story

That coherently describes the emergence of everything

And

With which all minds agree.

*****

This matter/burden of proof being

What you and I will now being addressing

As you proceed on

Your Journey, Beneath Words.

Life is a Journey,

A Journey that you can only experience, sense and feel

Present moment to present moment

Your Journey, Beneath Words,

Is no different.

It being a journey that you can commence by simply moving on

To the next page.*

__________

*Before turning the page, please remember to keep all of the words, symbols and images previously presented in this book in mind as you proceed onward in your journey. It is not easy to do. That being said, please know that I will be repeating many of these words (and the symbols and images that accompany them) along the way. So, be patient with my repetition. Teaching “your mind” to really learn how to listen to and read these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” takes practice; not unlike learning any “skill” including the art of creating music or the art of creating art or the art of performing “life skills” or a “job” or the art of archery or any other sport. The “mind”, once emerging, becomes an extension of the “body” and “its brain”, providing a “structure/content” to which “the body” can conform once “its brain” can coordinate the acts of “its body” (i.e. the “specific acts” the “mind” wants its “body/brain” to perform. The “body” emerges first (as a vibration); the “brain” emerges next (as a vibration and extension of the “body”); then “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge (as vibrations with meaning) but only after the “brain” can coordinate these verbal acts of “its body”. Then and only then emerges the “mind” and “its verbal reality”, a “verbal reality” in which it has the potential to “imagine” a specific act, thereby providing an “image” (e.g. “the perfect golf swing”) with which the “body” can strive to perform (in a manner coordinated by “its brain”).

NOTE TO THE READER

Answering questions such as (i) “What is Life?”, (ii) How does Life emerge? (iii) What is Life’s true nature? are questions that must be answered not only from the perspective of each “mind” and the “verbal reality” in which each “mind” dwells but also from the perspective of each “body/brain” and the physical reality” in which each “body/brain” dwells.

Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, there would exists none of these vibrating existential states called “mind” and “verbal reality” in which these sound/marks/ vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”

Nor could there exists any acts of “thinking”, “measuring” and “projecting” concerning questions such as:

(i) what is the true nature (i.e. the substance) of each “body”, each “brain” and the “physical reality” in which each “body” and each “brain” dwells;

(ii) what is the true nature (i.e. the substance) of each “mind”, each “verbal reality” and each act of projecting, measuring, thinking and storytelling.

Present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, we have these vibrating existential states called “minds” and “verbal realities” in which we presences called “human” can ask and strive to answer these questions.

The challenge lies not in the fact that we presences called human have (i) our “words/symbols/images” (ii) our “minds/verbal realities”, (iii) our “verbal questions” as well as (iv) our “verbal answers”.

The challenge lies in formulating these answers both from the perspective of each “body/brain” and “each mind/verbal reality” and then having each “mind” while existing in its own unique verbal reality accept that the answers are “true” from all perspectives -- including the perspective of each mind and each “body” and “brain”.

Not an easy challenge to meet; meeting this challenge being the goal of the journey of life as well as each journey called “Beneath Words”.

A JOURNEY CALLED BENEATH WORDS

You, the reader of these words, have now embarked on a journey; a journey in which you are being “schooled” in a new way of thinking about the words, the symbols and the images that both create and inform your verbal reality and your mind; a new kind of thinking that is being offered for the purpose of supplementing the current kind of thinking in which you and all of humanity is currently being schooled. I, the writer of these words, call this journey: Your Journey, Beneath Words.

The purpose of this journey is to prove to you that Humanity did make a wrong turn a long time ago and that this wrong turn will continue as long as Humanity continues to use a current kind of thinking embedded in only “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” -- nothing more.

As with any journey, before taking its first step, it helps to know where you are (your beginning point) and where you are going (your ending point).

Your journey began with “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” since, absent their presence, there would be no way by which Your Journey, Beneath Words, could be articulated.

Your journey continues by diving deep beneath “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” for the purposes of exploring the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images” and the true nature of each “mind” and “its verbal reality”.

Then, if you choose to continue, you will be diving even deeper, exploring the true nature of the “body” and “its brain” as well as the true nature of

(i) the reality in which each “body/brain” dwells and to which all “words/symbols/images” are pointing;

(ii) the source and substance of this reality and each “body/brain”; and,

(iii) the process by which this source and substance works.

The internet is the vehicle through which your journey, Beneath Words, is presented; more specifically, the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website:

www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

What follows in this Prologue is a brief description of the Center, the books and papers that will be appearing upon its website and a brief statement from me, the writer of these words, as to (i) why I write and (ii) the manner in which I write.*

__________

*The Center’s website was launched in December of 2019 with some words of introduction about the Center, its producer (me, the writer of these words) and what I call the Journey, Beneath Words. The first book that the Center published on its website is Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge; this particular book being written consistent with Toni Morrison’s mandate:

“If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, you must be the one to write it”.

What you are now reading is the first in a series of twelve books; each bearing the title, Beneath Words; each of these twelve books bearing a subtitle that distinguishes it from the other eleven books in the series. My initial intent was to publish these twelve books once a month commencing in January, 2020 and continuing each calendar month thereafter through December, 2020. Although that remains my intent, several readers of my words have suggested creating a more interactive and user-friendly website using symbols and images that complement my words with the goal of making my words “more understandable” through animations, split screen technology and, perhaps, a game or two. This project is now underway; yet, the manner in which this project is implemented may cause these twelve books to be published pursuant to a schedule different than what I initially intended.

1. Concerning The Center For Vibrational Studies

As stated previously, the Center publishes books and papers. The first book the Center published is Humanity’s Wrong Turn, Humanity’s Challenge. The twelve books that follow each bear the primary title, Beneath Words, with a subtitle attached; their purpose being to:

(i) not only prove to you that Humanity made its wrong turn when it chose to treat “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only a “word/symbol/image”;

(ii) but also to prove to you that once you choose to dive deep beneath the “words/symbols/images” into the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that lie there, what you discover is that

Vibration is the source/substance of Life

Vibration Is Life/Life Is Vibration

Specifically, each book addresses these matters:

I

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing could be verbally stated nor could any verbal story be told. Present the presence of words, symbols and images, anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can be verbally stated in the negative. Thus, concerning words, symbols and images, the relevant questions are:

What is their true nature?

From whence did they emerge?

Answer: Words, symbols and images are vibrations with meaning (expressed in the form of sounds and marks); their meaning emerging from a vibrating reality and a vibrating source/substance (Vibration) to which they are pointing (like signs). They emerge from the body in a manner coordinated by its brain through use of voice and hand mechanics (the latter aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface). They both create and inform two vibrating existential states called “the mind” and “its verbal reality”. It is within the mind and its verbal reality that these vibrations with meaning are used as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the mind views and produces its verbal stories concerning What is Real/What Is Not Real.

II

The Problem: there are an infinite number of verbal stories that can be told concerning What Is Real/Not Real. Which leads to similar questions relating to “reality” and “its source and substance”

What is their true nature? How did they emerge?

Answer: Vibration

Simply Stated:

The Center studies Vibration and the vibrating interacting (selecting) process by which Vibration acts upon itself and through other vibrations, thereby producing this single vibrating reality in which all “bodies/brains” dwell (as vibrations) present moment by present moment.

Yet, there is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there? A matter that these books address by diving deep, Beneath Words into the vibration that is “the word” and the vibration that lies beneath “the word”.

2. The Role of the Center

The role of the Center For Vibrational Studies is to show how, I, the writer of these words, arrived at these conclusions. However, the Center For Vibrational Studies has another role; that being to prove to you, the reader of these words:

That absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything; yet you would still exist as evidenced by the existence of a “baby”....a new born “infant”....that emerges without the benefit of having any “words”, “symbols” and “images” by which “it” can verbally state so.

That present the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”, anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can be verbally stated in the negative; examples being:

“true/not true”

“false/not false”

“fake/not fake”

“real/not real”

“God/not God”

“fake news/not fake news”

That Humanity’s Wrong Turn is the product of treating “the word” as “the thing” rather than treating “the word” as a vibration whose true meaning is associated with the vibration lies beneath “the word” and to which “the word” is pointing.

That if we presences called “human” continue to treat “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image”, then the reductionistic thinking emblematic of the current kind of thinking in which we presences are currently being “schooled” will be a never-ending spiraling downward into yet another “word/symbol/image” and then

another “word/symbol/image”.

That a new kind of thinking is needed; a new way of thinking that embraces “words”, “symbols” and “images” for what they really are: vibrations with meaning expressed in the form of sounds and marks.

The writings set forth on the Center For Vibrational Studies website, particularly the writing set forth in its archive are illustrative of the journey, Beneath Words, that must be taken by a “mind” in order to arrive at these conclusions.

3. Concerning The Writings

Appearing On The Center’s Website

The fundamental challenge that we presences called “human” must meet if we (both individually and collectively) are to actualized our real human potential is to answer these fundamental questions in a coherent manner:

I

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

II

What is the true nature of each “mind” and its “verbal reality”?

How do they emerge?

III

What is the true nature (the source/substance) of each “body” and each “brain”?

How do they emerge?

IV

What is the true nature of physical reality?

How did it emerge?

V

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

What each book published on the Center’s website verbally states in its own unique way is that until the first two of these fundamental questions are answered, there is no way to answer in a coherent manner all of these fundamental questions.

The Point

Journeying Beneath Words into the physical reality that lies there and its source/substance is hard work; particularly if “your mind” has been “trained” in a way of thinking that treats each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more

The current way of thinking (current kind of thinking) in which we presences called “human” have been “schooled” treats each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image”....nothing more.

Skating along the surface of words, symbols and images and this current kind of thinking, the only choice that a presence called “human” has when seeking answers to these fundamental questions is to remain in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and in a “verbal reality” and “mind” created and informed by “them”.

Ironically, although many words/symbols/images have been selected by many “minds” for purposes of answering these fundamental questions, to date there is no verbal agreement within “the collective mind” of we “humans” as to their answers. In fact, what is even more ironic is the fact that currently there is no verbal agreement among “the collective mind” of we “humans” as to the answers to these first two fundamental questions:

What is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”?

How do they emerge?

~~~

A new way of thinking is needed; a new kind of thinking that treats “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as being what it really is:

a sound/mark/vibration whose meaning is associated with a vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing.

It is to this new kind of thinking and the model of reality/creation story implicated by this new kind of thinking that each book published by the Center For Vibrational Studies points....this book being no exception.

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

Lao Tzu

Your Journey, Beneath Words, is no different in this sense;

Its first step being to dive beneath “the word”

Into

The sound/mark/vibration that lies there.

4. Twelve Books

As stated, this book is the first of twelve books that will be published on the Center’s website, commencing on January 1, 2020, and continuing every month thereafter. Each of the twelve books, in its own unique way, engages you in a journey (Beneath Words) that you can choose to make your journey, Beneath Words simply by reading them; each book in its own unique way diving deep into (i) the vibrating physical reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwell (as vibrations) and (ii) this underlying vibrating physical presence (Vibration) that is the source and substance of “all that exists”.

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 these 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 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.

5. Writing These Twelve Books

(Not An Easy Task)

Writing these twelve books (and producing any writings about what lies Beneath Words) is not an easy task, particularly considering that when you are performing this act of writing you are viewing through your mind what is happening in your body as your body is interacting with its surrounding “reality” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain”.

In fact, the best that you can do in any present moment of this act of writing is to present, verbally, in words, symbols and images what you are experiencing in your body and your mind in that present moment.

Much like what you, the reader of these words, “see” when viewing a “vase with flowers” from your own unique perspective, you can only “paint” the “picture” of this “vase with flowers” from that perspective using brush (marking tool) applied to canvas (smooth surface)....or in my case, using my “pencil” (marking tool) applied to “paper” (smooth surface) or, more recently, my computer’s keyboard (marking tool) applied to computer’s screen (smooth surface).

In other words, in each present moment called “Now”, I can only write from my own unique perspective and I can only do so based upon the experiences that I am having in that “present moment” and the next “present moment” (and the next....et. seq.)

Thus, as weird or crazy as it may sound or appear, each of these twelve books and the other writings appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is only a perspective....

....an unique perspective based upon the words, symbols and images that are selected in each present moment until there emerges a sense that this book or writing is complete (for the moment)....

....an unique perspective that provides a glimpse of what lies Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them.

Doing so using words/symbols/images being not an easy task; yet necessary.

6. Why Write These Books?

Once we presences called “human” understand the true nature of the reality in which “we” dwell and the true nature of “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our words/symbols/images”, “our verbal realities” and “our minds” we can course correct a wrong turn that Humanity previously made....(i.e. adopting a current kind of thinking that is embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” rather than in the vibrations that lie beneath “them”).

We can begin treating each something of substance consistent with its true nature....vibration. We can shift to a new kind of thinking that embraces these verbal statements as “true”:

That at the most fundamental level of its existence, each something of substance is a vibration having vibrating characteristics that are unique to it and allow it to be identified with “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image”; “our bodies” and “our brains” being no exceptions.

That at their most fundamental level of existence, “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” is a vibration that emerges from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning is associated with and points to the vibration that lies beneath it.

That at the most fundamental level of existence these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” are always pointing to a vibrating physical reality that is always emerging from Vibration as source/substance.

That at their most fundamental level of existence, “each mind” and “its verbal reality” are vibrating existential states created and informed by these vibrations with meaning....vibrating existential states in which these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which “the mind” views and produces “stories” about what is real/not real

....vibrating linguistic lenses through which the “mind” informs its thinking, its measuring and its projecting.

7. More To The Point

Concerning These Twelve Books:

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 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 books 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 and 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 choose to continue on your journey, Beneath Words) that the act that you select in each present moment is involved in a natural selecting process -- a 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 (we creations) called “human” and “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our word/symbols/images”, “our minds”, “our verbal realities” and “our verbal statements/stories” being no exceptions.

7. The Role Of Each Book

The role of each book is to show from its own unique perspective why what has just been verbally stated is “true”....can be proved “true”; the role of the Center being to prove “true”:

Not only that what has just been verbally stated is “true”;

But also that the selecting process by which Vibration acts upon its Potential and produces this vibrating physical reality in which all “bodies” and all “brains” dwell (as vibrations) is the same selecting process by which each presence called “human” acts upon his/her potential and produces his or her “verbal reality/mind”....that process being a vibrating interacting (selecting) process....a natural selecting process (frequently called “evolution”).

More to the Point:

The current kind of thinking in which we presences called “human” are being “schooled” treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as being only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” rather than a vibration with meaning standing in for/representing a vibration that lies beneath it and to which the vibration with meaning is pointing.

In this sense, at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”....each being a vibration with meaning.

In this sense, each “word”, “symbol” and “image” is a “shorthanded” representation for what lies beneath it and to which “it” is pointing (like a sign).

In this sense, “the word” is not the “thing”....just representative of “it”

In other words, If you “think” of “words/symbols/images” being vibrations with meaning pointing to a vibrating reality that is always emerging from Vibration as source/substance, then how you view the reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwells will not only appear -- but actually be -- different....

....different than what you would be “thinking” if “your thoughts” were only embedded in “words/symbols/images” rather than....

....in the vibration with meaning that is the “word/symbol/image”....

....and in the vibration that lies beneath the vibration with meaning.

Simply stated: If you “think” of the “body” as a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it and can “prove” that this “thought” is “true”, then how you treat this “body” will be quite different from the current way “this body” is treated using our current kind of thinking. A similar statement applies to a “brain”

and to a “mind”.

Bottom Line

At the most fundamental level of existence, despite any “thought” of “separation” that a “mind” can think, all that exists is always interacting and interconnecting (“communicating”) vibrationally, each expression of Vibration being a vibration that is always interacting, interconnecting and communicating, vibrationally with all other vibrations in “its surroundings”.

Yet,

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

A matter that provides another answer to the question:

Why Write These Books?

A matter that is also addressed in the writings appearing on

The Center For Vibrational Studies’ website.

8. Why A Series Of Twelve Books?

There is no magic in the number twelve. What is true is that once “your mind” accepts the fact that all words, symbols and images (including yours) are vibrations with meaning pointing to and emerging out of Vibration as source/substance, you accept the fact that -- no matter how hard you try

There is no way to capture reality whole using these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” in a descriptive or explanatory manner since these vibrations with meaning are a “vibrating part” of a “vibrating whole”.

The best that can be done is to use these vibrations with meaning in a manner that best simulates, vibrationally what lies beneath them.

These twelve books set forth the best that I can do; each of these twelve books in its own unique way pointing to a new kind of thinking and a new model of reality that supplements the current kind of thinking in which we presences called “human” are now being “schooled”....

....a new kind of thinking that dives beneath the verbal and all of the verbal noise appearing on “social media” into....

....the vibrations that lie beneath the verbal....

....and....

....the vibrations to which the verbal is pointing.

That being a vibrating realty in which the simple verbal question:

What Is Life?

Is answered with this simple verbal statement.

Life Is Vibration

9. My Use Of Quotations

These quotations:

“We die. That may be the meaning of life. We do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” Toni Morrison

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

“Everything in Life is Vibration.” Albert Einstein

“Words mean. Words point. They are arrows. Arrows stuck in the rough hide of reality.” Susan Sontag

and others appearing along the way will be repeated over and over again and again in each book appearing on the Center’s website as will certain parts of this Prologue; the purpose of this repetition being to continue to remind you....as you open each book appearing on the Center’s website....that you are now engaged in a journey, Beneath Words; a journey involving “your body”, “your brain” and “your mind”....a journey in which “your mind” will be learning what “your body” and “your brain” already knows and what “your mind” would know....if it would only listen:

Vibration is the source/substance of Life

Life Is Vibration: Vibration Is Life.

Proving these verbal statements “true” to “your mind” is what your journey,

Beneath Words, is about.

__________

*While embarking upon your Journey, Beneath Words, it is easy to get lost in “the word” as opposed to diving deep into the vibration that is “the word” and into the vibration upon which “the word” is superposed. Thus, keep “in mind” that, at the most fundamental level of existence, what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning; their meanings emerging from the vibrations that lie beneath them and to which they are pointing. In this sense, at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”. However, what is the most important “point” for “your mind” to remember as you continue onward on your Journey, Beneath Words is that absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning, nothing could be verbally stated about anything, meaning that absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, I could not be writing these “words” you are now reading nor could you be reading any “words” (including “my words)....nor would either of “us” have a “verbal reality” and “mind” in which “we” can produce our individual and collective stories concerning What Is Real/What Is Not Real.

1. Your Journey Beneath Words

Once you dive deep beneath the words, symbols and images that both create and inform your verbal reality and mind and the projections, measurements and thoughts that both create and inform your stories, what you find is that these words, symbols and images are really vibrations with meaning that are

(i) expressed in the form of sounds and marks; and,

(ii) superposed upon the vibrations that lie beneath them.

What you find is that at the most fundamental level of existence, each expression of all that exists is a vibration that has vibrating characteristics of its own and is always interacting, vibrationally, with all other vibrations existing within its surroundings.

More particularly, what you find is that the source/substance of each expression of all that exists (no matter what its name, number or species) is Vibration; an underlying phenomenon....an underlying presence....that

(i) not only can be thought of and called “Vibration”;

(ii) but also really is Vibration since all vibrations with meaning are pointing to it as being their source and substance.

*****

Vibration acts upon itself through a natural selecting process....a natural process of renormalization....that is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process:

(i) it being the Creative Process by which all vibrations emerge; each vibration having vibrating characteristics by which it can be sensed and identified;

(ii) it being a natural process of renormalizing out of which emerges a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring selections previously made;

(iii) it being this natural selecting process called “evolution” through which all vibrations

Combine through vibrating acts frequently called “resonance”;

Separate through vibrating acts frequently called “interference”; or

Remain in an in potentia vibrating existential state frequently called “dissonance” until combining through resonance or separating through interference.

(iv) it being the process by which all vibrations (no matter how identified) emerge and all expressions of “life” (no matter by what name, number or species they are called) emerge, survive and thrive (or fail to do so).

What is now thought of and called a “body”, a “brain” and a “mind” and each “human body/brain/mind” (including “your body/ brain/mind”)....being no exceptions.

It is as simple as that

Yet, once a mind emerges within its verbal reality,

It is not that simple

Since there is always the matter of proof,

Of proving true to this mind

And all other minds

That what has just been verbally stated is

“true”.

It being this matter of proof -- this burden of proof

That is the subject of

Your Journey, Beneath Words.

2. Physical Reality

What is now thought of and called “physical reality” is a collective vibration that expands to include each vibration that emerges pursuant to this vibrating interacting (selecting) process called “evolution”.

Each vibration either emerging (i) directly out of Vibration as its source/substance or (ii) indirectly out of vibrations that have previously emerged, directly or indirectly, out of Vibration as their source/substance.

What is now thought of and called “physical reality” contracts in a similar manner as a vibration collapses back into Vibration or vibrations out of which it emerged.

Prior to the emergence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, this collective vibration existed; this collective vibration being comprised of all vibrations then existing. After the emergence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, this collective vibration continued to exist, (Beneath Words), independent of any “words”, “symbols” and “images” superposed upon “it”. However, once these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, emerged, this collective vibration expanded to include each “mind” and its “verbal reality” and each “verbal statement/story” produced by each “mind” within its “verbal reality.

In other words,

(i) as each “body”, each “brain”, each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” emerge as a vibration pursuant to this vibrating interacting (selecting) process called “evolution”; and,

(ii) as each “mind”, each “verbal reality”, each “projection”, each “measurement”, each “thought” and each “verbal statement/story” emerge as a vibration pursuant to this same vibrating interacting (selecting) process called “evolution”

this collective vibration called “physical reality” expands to include “them”.

*****

However, once a “mind” emerges within its “verbal reality”, it is relatively easy for this “mind” to treat its “verbal reality” and the “verbal statement/stories” that emerge from “it” as “real” rather than accepting the “fact” that:

Above Words

As “it” and its “verbal reality” -- in each present moment -- are being created and informed as vibrations by the vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” that are emerging from its “body” (a vibration) in a manner coordinated by its “brain” (a vibration) in that present moment;

Beneath Words

Its “brain” (as a vibration) -- in that present moment -- is orchestrating (shaping) the sensory experiences of this collective vibration (this “physical reality”) from its own unique perspective as its “body” (a vibration) is interacting with this collective vibration.

In fact, a similar statement applies to “each body”, “each brain” and “each mind”; and that leads to the real challenge Humanity must meet if Humanity is to course-correct its Wrong Turn; that challenge being for all of our “minds” (both individually and collectively) to accept through verbal agreement that the source and substance of all that exists is Vibration including this collective vibration called “physical reality” and all that exists therein including all of we vibrations called “human” and these vibrations called “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our words”, “our symbols”, “our images”, “our verbal realities”, “our minds”, “our projections”, “our measurements”, “our thoughts” and “our verbal statements/stories”....

....Vibration being an underlying physical phenomenon....an underlying physical presence....that is always present....

....the word, “vibration” being the best vibration with meaning to simulate “It” -- the letter “v” being capitalized in honor of Vibration being the source and substance of “all that exists.

3. Your Body, Your Brain And Your Mind

When birthed, your body has a brain (i.e. “your brain”). Your brain is a marvelous piece of hardware. It works vibrationally through vibrating mechanics. You will never know exactly how your brain or any brain works. However, you can simulate how a brain works, vibrationally, using research based upon vibrating technologies of sound and light.

What does your brain do?

Your “brain” (a vibration) orchestrates the vibrational interacting (selecting) process called “evolution” that is occurring, naturally, both inside and outside of your “body”, thereby allowing “your body” to survive (as a vibration) within this collective vibration (called “physical reality”) into which “your body” and “your brain” emerge -- a similar verbal statement applying to each “human body/brain” and all “bodies/brains” (no matter their “name/number/species”).*

Your “brain” coordinates the production of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” that both create and inform these two vibrating existential states called “your verbal reality” and “your mind”, thereby allowing “you” (a collective vibration comprised of “your body”, “your brain” and “your mind”) to survive and thrive, vibrationally, within this collective vibration called “physical reality” -- a similar verbal statement applying to each “human mind/verbal reality” and all “minds/verbal realities”.

__________

*I use the word, orchestrate as a verb, meaning that while the “body” is interacting, vibrationally, with the physical reality of which it is a part, “its brain” is shaping/constructing this vibrational interacting into vibrating patterns.

What does your mind do?

Your “mind” (while existing within its “verbal reality”) uses these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which it views and produces verbal statements (“stories”) about the “physical reality” in which its “body” dwells and the “source/substance” of this “physical reality” -- a similar verbal statement applying to each “human mind” and all “minds”.

The “body” emerges first (as a vibration) through a natural selecting process called “evolution” that is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process. Then emerges “its brain” (as a vibration) through the same process. Then emerges these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” through this same process. Then, through this same process, emerges these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” (each a vibration); it being within “the mind” and “its verbal reality” that these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which “the mind” views the vibrating physical reality of which “it” and its “body/brain” is a part and produces “stories” about Vibration -- Vibration being the source/substance of “all that exists”.

It is as simple as that.

Yet, it is not that simple

Since once each “mind” emerges with a “story” within “its verbal reality” (e.g. Einstein’s mind and its relativity theories), there is always the “matter of proof” to address; the only way that this “burden” can be “satisfied” is by “all minds” verbally accepting (through verbal agreement) that “this story is true”.*

__________

*The process by which each human body/brain acts upon its potential and produces the words, symbols and images that both create and inform its verbal reality and its mind as well as its projections/measurements/thoughts and stories can be simulated vibrationally using light and sound mechanics. What you, the reader of these words, just read is one example (an example that is easy to understand once you equate “your words/symbol/images” to sounds/marks with meaning (i.e. vibrations with meaning). You can “think” of this example being a function of “self-reflecting”; a vibrating act that allows you to focus more deeply upon what it means to verbally state anything about anything using what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images” to do so....as strange or weird as that may now appear to you, the reader of these words. Nevertheless, there is always the matter of “proof” lurking in the background, a burden of having to prove “true” verbally what has just been stated verbally to a collection of “minds” existing in their “verbal

realities”....having been trained “to think” otherwise.

4. Your Emotions, Your Feelings and Your Experiences

As “your body” (a vibration) is interacting, vibrationally, with this collective vibration called “physical reality”; “your brain” (a vibration) is orchestrating (“shaping/constructing”) this vibrational interacting into vibrating patterns for the purpose of allowing “your body” (as a vibration) to survive and thrive. What you (a collective vibration -- comprised of “body/brain/mind”) are sensing in each present moment within and throughout your body/brain/mind is real, vibrationally.

In other words, the emotions, feelings, experiences (sensations) that are being sensed present moment by present moment in “your body/brain” are really occurring, vibrationally; each emotion/feeling/experience (sensation) being a vibrating pattern shaped/constructed (orchestrated) by “your brain”....

....a vibrating pattern upon which you (or, more particularly, “your body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”) superposes a sound/mark/vibration with meaning called “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” that best describes/explains (simulates) this vibrating pattern.

The words “happy”, “sad”, “mad”, “love”, “hate” are no exceptions; each of these “words” representing/standing in for a vibrating pattern that “your brain” produces as “your body” is interacting, vibrationally, with your surroundings; “words” that you (or, more particularly, “your brain”) manifest into “your verbal reality” using the vibrational mechanics of “voice” (sound) and “hand” (light”); the latter (the “hand”) aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface.

For example: As your “body” (a vibration) is interacting, vibrationally, with another “body” (a vibration), each of your “brains” (as a vibration) is shaping this interacting into a vibrating pattern that each of “your minds”, collectively”, learn to call “sex”; each vibrating interacting being orchestrated into a vibrating pattern that allows each of “you” (as a collective vibration -- comprised of your “body”, your “brain” and “your mind”)

(i) to combine through vibrating acts of “resonance” --“good vibes”;

(ii) separate through vibrating acts of “interference” -- “bad vibes); or,

(iii) remain in “dissonance” until combining or separating.

The Point:

Your feelings/emotions/experiences/sensations are vibrationally real. They emerge, vibrationally, in your body (a vibration) in the manner orchestrated by your own unique brain (a vibration). They are felt, sensed and experienced, vibrationally in the same manner as your body senses any presence in its presence -- no matter by what name, number of species by which that presence is identified.*

__________

*More To The Point: Vibration is the “source/substance” of all that exists. Through a vibrating interacting (selecting) process called “evolution”, Vibration acts upon itself and through each vibration emerging from it, thereby creating a collective vibration called “physical reality” comprised of many vibrations. Through this same process, each vibration called “human” acts upon his/her “body” and through each vibration that emerges from his/her “body” in a manner coordinated by his/her “brain”. Although there exists only one collective vibration called “physical reality”, there exists multiple vibrations called “verbal realities/minds”: each “verbal reality/mind” being a collective vibrating existential state in which each vibration with meaning (once creating, informing and emerging within this “verbal reality/mind”) equates to a vibrating linguistic lens through which this “mind” (while existing with “its verbal reality”) can vibrationally view this collective vibration called “physical reality” and vibrationally produce “verbal statements/stories” concerning each specific vibration. “Stories” by which each specific vibration can be identified by “name”, “number” or “species”, depending upon the specific vibrating pattern that his/her “brain” is “shaping/constructing” (orchestrating) as his/her “body” is interacting, vibrationally, with the specific vibrating characteristics of the specific vibration that his/her “body/brain” is vibrationally experiencing. Ironically, although there are many vibrations that emerge from Vibration having the potential to produce these vibrations with meaning in the form of sounds/marks, we vibrations called “human” (as a “species” called “homo sapiens”) are the only “species” of vibration that call these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images” and these two vibrating existential states created and informed by them “verbal realities” and “minds”. Once again, it is as simple as that; yet it is not that simple.

5. The Art Of Listening

What I, the writer of these words, say, verbally, is not what you, the reader of these words, hear, verbally. I speak from my own perspective; you listen from your own perspective. What you hear/read when a vibration with meaning in the form of a sound or a mark emerges from me is unique to “you”.

Think of this uniqueness in this way: No one stands in “your shoes”; no one occupies the same “space/time” that you do. Thus, when viewing something of substance called a “rose”, you (a vibration have vibrating characteristics unique to “you”) are viewing this “rose” (this vibrating something of substance -- this unique vibration having its own unique vibrating characteristics) from your own unique perspective. Thus, the vibration (the “rose”) you are sensing, vibrationally, is being felt/experience/emoted in your own unique way, vibrationally.

In fact, a similar verbal statement applies to “me” and “my words/symbol/images” and to all other presences in “your surroundings” no matter by what “name”, “number” or “species” these other presences may be called....your “dog” or your “cat” or a “lion” or a “wolf” being no exception.

The Point:

The vibrating act called “listening” is an art as is the vibrating act called “speaking”. These acts are always occurring on two levels once a species can produce their vibrations with meaning (we “species” called “human” being the only “species” that calls our vibrations with meaning “words/symbols/images”.

Superficially, above these vibrations with meaning (Above Words) “speaking” and “listening” are occurring within these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”; the “mind” and “its verbal reality” being both created and informed by these vibrations with meaning. However, beneath these vibrations with meaning (Beneath Words), “speaking” and “listening” are occurring in the body in a manner orchestrated by its brain.

Meaning, that what is now called a “verbal agreement” can never really occur unless there is vibrational coherence among two or more presences as to what they are speaking/listening both in their minds and in their bodies.

6. Storytelling

In each present moment called “Now”, once these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge out of his/her “body” in a manner coordinated by his/her brain”, each of we presences called “human” exists both

(i) in his/her own unique verbal reality/mind (Above Words); and

(ii) in his/her own unique body/brain (Beneath Words)

His/her sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning serving as a bridge between what he/she is experiencing, vibrationally, Above Words and what he/she is experiencing, vibrationally, Beneath Words.

His/her “verbal reality” and his/her “mind” being two vibrating existential states in which these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which his/her “mind”

Views the single vibrating reality of which it, its verbal reality and its vibrating linguistic lenses are a part

And

Produces verbal statements in the form of “stories” about this single vibrating reality and its source and substance.

The Point

In each present moment called “Now” (Beneath Words), the unique brain of each of we presences called “human” is orchestrating his/her body’s sensing as his/her body is interacting with the other presences existing in its body’s surroundings.

In each present moment called “Now” (Above Words), the unique mind of each of we presences called “human” is telling stories within his/her own unique verbal reality about this interacting.

More To The Point:

Once a presence called “human” has at his/her disposal these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, it becomes relatively easy for a presence called “human” to produce multiple stories concerning what is real/not real.

In fact, it becomes relatively easy for all of we presences called “human” to produce an infinite number of stories and verbal statements concerning what is real/not real -- once each of us can produce his/her own unique “words”, “symbols” and “images” and, thereby, create and inform his/her own unique “verbal reality” and “mind”.

That is easy

*****

What is difficult

Is producing that one Story....be it called a “creation story”, a “model of reality” or “theory of everything”....that coherently simulates the emergence of “all that exists” including you, your “body/brain”, your “words/symbols/images”, your “verbal reality/mind”, your “projections/measurements/thoughts” and your “verbal statements/stories”....

....since doing so requires diving deep beneath all “verbal statements/stories”, all “projections/measurements/thoughts” and all “verbal realities/minds using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” to do so.

That being the role of Your Journey, Beneath Words; a journey in which you are now engaged.

It being a journey that you can continue from there; the only requirement being that you keep “in mind” the following verbal statements in a “self-reflecting” manner as you proceed:

A.

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images nothing can be verbally stated about anything.

B.

Present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can also be verbally stated in the negative.

C.

The only way any two “minds” can prove that a verbal statement or “story” is “true” is by accepting (through verbal agreement) that the verbal statement or story is true.

D.

The ultimate challenge for my mind being to have your mind verbally agree with my mind that what I have previously stated in the opening pages of this book and what I will be verbally stating in each other book and writing appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is “true”.

*****

Ultimately, you have to tear down the citadels that are constructed only upon “the word”.

Ultimately, you have to embrace the “sounds” and the “marks” and the fact that a bird’s song and a wolf’s mark are only a variation on the same evolutionary theme out of which all that exists emerges.

For it is then and only then that you can enter this collective vibration called “reality” and embrace Vibration as its source and substance.

At least that has been my experience

Ever since that night -- when seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing

What I thought was the “sound of running water”

Became more than what I thought.

It’s been quite a journey

MOVING ON

Each of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and each these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” are the ultimate linguistic tools. Without them, we presences called “human” could not call “ourselves” human or distinguish us from all other presences in “our surroundings”. However, it is how we use these linguistic tools that makes the difference.

Using a kind of thinking (current kind of thinking) that simply skates along the surface of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, the vibrancy of what lies Beneath Words is lost....forgotten.

This new kind of thinking to which “you” have now been introduced opens “your mind” to this vibrancy by complementing/supplementing “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” with the vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing (Semiotics).

However, once “your mind” is embedded in this current kind of thinking, it is hard to “think” otherwise -- particularly hard “to think” of “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as being a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that stands in for and points to a vibration that lies beneath it.

One writing (i.e. this book) cannot educate a “mind” in this new kind of thinking since that writing can only be prepared from the unique perspective that the “writer” is experiencing in that present moment. Verbal statements presented from one unique perspective of the writer may have to be repeated multiple times from multiple perspectives of the writer before the “mind” of the “listener/reader” fully grasps what is being verbally stated (“spoken/written”).

Thus, appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is a series of writings that I, the writer of these words, have authored from multiple perspective for the purpose of making this journey, Beneath Words, easier; this specific book being the first in the series. Hopefully, you, the listener/reader of this writing, will choose (act of selecting) to move on to these other writings, thereby allowing “you” to experience, vibrationally, both in “your mind” and in “your body” this new kind of thinking in many different ways from many different perspectives.

It is “your choice”.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First: To the “presence” who produced the first vibration with meaning in the form of a sound with meaning or a mark with meaning -- thanks; and, to Vibration as the source/substance of all that exists, I acknowledge your presence.

Second: To the initial “teachers” who showed me how to use “my voice” and “my writing hand” (“my body”) in a manner coordinated by “my brain” to produce the “words/symbols/images” that initially created and informed “my mind” and “its verbal reality”; these “teachers” being mostly “my mother” and “my father”.

Third: To the these “initial teachers” and to the other “teachers” that appeared along the way in my “grammar school”, my “grade school”, my “high school” and “my college/law school” that “schooled me” on how to apply “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” in a way acceptable to the “tribe/community/nation” in which my “body/brain” dwelled....a “conventional way” that included a current kind of thinking that simply treated “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more.

Then: To those subsequent “teachers” who showed me a different way....a “road less traveled”....a way that allowed me to dive beneath the surface of the words”, “symbols” and “images” that created and informed “my mind”, “my verbal reality”, “my projections”, “my measurements”, “my thoughts”, “my verbal statements” and “my stories”....

....into these fundamental questions about which I now write....

....fundamental questions whose verbal answers I sought....

....verbal answers that began to appear only after “one night”, when seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing, I experienced an existential state

....in which there existed “no words”, “no symbols”, “no images” and “no mind”....

....only a “listening”.

SUGGESTED READINGS

Susan Schaller, A Man Without Words, Second Edition, (University of California Press, 2012, Foreword by Oliver Sacks)

Any writing by J. Krishnamurti in which he focuses “the mind” on the verbal phrase: “The word is not the thing.”

Any book written by Gordon Kane including “Supersymmetry and Beyond (From the Higgs Boson To the New Physics) Revised Edition -- Basic Books -- 2013 and String Theory and the Real World (A Morgan and Claypool Publication, 2017).

More specifically, if “you” are listening/reading/using these words or phrases:

“energy”, “mass”, “light”; “quarks”, “bosons”, “strings”; “matter”; “vacuum energy”, “dark energy”, “dark matter”, “black holes”, “stars”, “galaxies”, “universe”, “multiverse”; “fields”, “systems” (“open, closed or isolated”), “arrows of time”, “fields of space”, “space/time”; “potential”, “infinite potential”, “potential energy”, “virtual particles”, the cosmological constant; “Consciousness”, “ki”, “chi”, “prana”, “vibrational healing”, “Fibonacci Spiral”, “Golden Ratio (PHI)”; “genes”, “DNA”, “RNA” “epigenetics” “evolution”, “natural selection”, “renormalizing”, “interactive forces”

as “you” are “reading/listening/using “them”, give some “thought” to the fact that each of these “words/phrases” stand in for/represent either (i) a vibration having vibrating characteristics that are unique to it or (ii) a vibrating act: each vibration emerging from Vibration pursuant a vibrating interacting (selecting) process; each vibration exhibiting an Historical Bias favoring acts of selection previously made....consistent with the equations:

V(P):+/- v(p):+/-

*****

Also, if by chance, you have the “time” and the “space” to really concentrate on your listening/reading skills, please direct your attention to these two books; each of these books being written by its author and listen/read by me after I wrote Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanities Challenge and as I was editing the twelve books that comprise Your Journey, Beneath Words:

Something Deeply Hidden, Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime written by Sean Carroll (Dutton, 2019)

The Case Against Reality why evolution hid the truth from our eyes written by Donald Hoffman (W.W. Norton & Company, 2019)

When reading the first book, give some consideration to the fact that what its author calls a “probability wave” symbolized by Schrödinger’s Equation is really representing Vibration and its Infinite Potential (“P”).

When reading the second book, give some consideration to the fact that what the “brain” is really doing....present moment by present moment....is creating vibrating patterns representative of the vibrations “its body” is experiencing as “its body” is interacting/interconnecting/communicating with its surroundings.

¹The inquiry concerns how the first word emerged -- not your first word or my first word -- meaning that in some present moment now thought of as the “distant past”, what can now be thought of and called the first word did emerge. When making this inquiry, it helps “to think” of the first word being expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning is associated with something of substance to which the “sound” or the “mark” is pointing (like a sign)

²The first ten of these books are relatively short and concise; each being a short book that introduces you, the reader of these words, to this new kind of thinking and new model of reality in its own unique way. The remaining two books are long, representing a “stream of consciousness” that emerged in “my mind” as “my mind” was striving to identify the best words/symbols/images by which I could coherently portray the reality that lies Beneath Words and its source/substance.

³More will be stated about these linguistic mechanics in my Note To The Reader.

⁴Simply stated: at their most fundamental level of existence, there is no really difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”, each being a vibration with meaning....each pointing as a sign (Semiotics) to a vibration that lies beneath it and that emerges from Vibration as its source and its substance....each presence called “infant/baby” being no exception.

⁵In other words, “think” of these “infinities” as “potentialities” or “possibilities”; “potentialities/possibilities” that exist in each present moment and are representative of a “potential” that lies within each of we presences called “human” and each expression of all that exists....a potential that is part of the Potential out of which all that exists emerges....a Potential whose true physical nature (Vibration) will gradually be revealed to “your mind” if “your mind” is willing to engage in this new kind of thinking to which it is now being introduced.

⁶My use of the forward leaning slant (“/”) is just one more example of the linguistic mechanics (the linguistic tools) that I use in my writings; in this case the forward leaning slant stands in for the word, “and”.

⁷“What is Life?” Erwin Schrödinger strived to answer this question from his own unique verbal perspective. The Model must answer not only this question but also these two questions How does Life emerge?/What is Life’s true nature? from all possible perspectives: the verbal (Above Words); not verbal (Beneath Words).

⁸Initially, the “marking tool” was a “stick” or a “stone” or a “twig with pigment” and the “smooth surface” was “sand”, “dirt” or the “wall of a cave”. Eventually, the “marking tool” was a “piece of charcoal”, a “quill with ink”, a “pencil”, a “pen”, a “printing press”, a “the keyboard of a typewriter” then a “computer” with the “smooth surface” being “parchment”, “paper” or a “computer screen”.

⁹As above, so below; as below, so above. Frequently referred to as the “principle of Correspondence”, this principle/law stands in for the “truth” that at the most fundamental level of existence the true nature of this two-way vertical bridge as well as the true nature of what lies above and below this bridge (i.e. what lies Above Words and what lies Beneath Words) is the same.

¹⁰This stringing together of “words/symbols/images” produces vibrating patterns within the “brain”: vibrating patterns that physically are associated with the words “language”, and “syntax”, when the underlying vibrating interactivity of the “brain” associated with a “language” and “its syntax” is being observed.

¹¹More will be verbally stated about this Creative Process and this Historical Bias in subsequent writings appearing on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies: www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com.

¹²How it came to be this way is a topic that will be visited in one or more of the other books published on the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website.

¹³My “proof” of these verbal answers has been presented in the previous pages of this book and will be elaborated upon in other writers appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website; the goal of all of my writings being to set forth a new kind of thinking and a new model of reality that is vibrationally coherent with “all that exists”.

¹⁴See Footnote 13. Note the emphasis on the words, vibrationally coherent.

¹⁵Once Vibration is accepted by “your mind” as being the source and substance of all that exists, the verbal constructs of “field theory” and “unified field theory” begin to make sense since in order for any vibrating something of substance to become “real” (not just “virtual) Vibration (while existing in its in potential vibrating existential state) must act upon “itself” and produce the most basic vibrating something of substance. In other words, it begins to make sense that it is out of Vibration (frequently referred to as a point of singularity) that two vibrations can emerge -- one a mirror image of the other -- a vibrating pair (e.g. a “positron” and “electron”) or many vibrations called “strings” emerge; what is now thought of and called “space/time” emerging out of their interactions. For further information on “string theory” and the verbal construct called “Symmetry”), best that you read these two books by Gordan Kane: “String Theory and the Real World” and “Symmetry”. For further information on the coupling of the “positron/electron”, best that you read Earnest Sternglass’ book, Before The Big Bang. More will be stated about “space/time”, “the beginning” and the “fields of space” and “arrows of time” that each “system” (as a vibration) exhibits once emerging along the way -- in the multiple books that will ultimately surface on the Center For Vibrational Studies website.
