OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ART MATRIX - LIGHTLINK PO 880 Ithaca, NY 14851-0880 (607) 277-0959 Voice (607) 277-8913 Fax (607) 277-5026 Modems homer@lightlink.com E-mail jes@lightlink.com E-mail 01/17/09 Saturday 02:55am EST Open Letter to President Barack Obama: Dear Sir, The enclosed material approaches a subject of subtle but significant import to the future of the world as we know it. Enclosed are nine letters written to Arthur C. Clarke over the past 3 years before he died. Although all 9 letters are enclosed, they can be found on the web at http://www.lightlink.com/theproof. You do not have to read the whole thing, by the end of the first letter you will know whether you are interested in pursuing it further or not. This material has been accepted by a few but rejected by many and I am generally considered a crack pot trying to bring some science to religion, and some religion to science. Both sides are apparently opposed. I trust you are a religious man, and have some understanding that most of the intramural problems the world faces arise from religious bigotry and insanity of one kind or another. We define religious bigotry as the belief that some people are irredeemably morally inferior to others and deserve to go to hell FOREVER for the deeds or beliefs of one life. Religious insanity might be defined as 'Who or what is Cause around here, and why is it such an asshole!" Looking for 'who or what is cause around here', is a denial of personal responsibility for condition. Religious insanity usually takes the form "I am right and you are wrong!", rather than a more reasonable stance of "We are all bozos on this bus, perhaps we still have something to learn together of the nature of God and the All That Is. Those whose hearts are filled with religious bigotry or insanity are not fit to lead, for while they try to march towards other's graves, they march only towards their own. The universe is a very much bigger place than conceived of 2000 years ago, and just so is the Almighty very much bigger than conceived of even now. Anyone who thinks they have their wits wrapped around the subject of either science or religion is lying to themselves. "The Proof," as delineated in the letters to Clarke, started off as an unarguable scientific certainty in the field of information theory, about the nature of machines in the physical universe, which all scientists will agree upon but most have failed to notice it's importance. Quite unexpectedly, over time it became clear that The Proof had implications about the nature of space and time, and therefore consciousness, which led right into spirituality and thus religion. Thus without intending to, and quite to my own embarrassment I have started to build what can only be called a bridge between science and religion. Much to my dismay I have discovered that most of the scientific and religious intelligencia do not want such a bridge and would not walk it if offered. They seem to hope that science and religion remain coheretical to the end of time. But the future can not continue as we have been or the prophecies will all come true. Religion and science were both born in a cauldron of ignorance, fear, animal territoriality and barbarism. God 2000 years ago was designed to be a leader in combat and the prime justifier for war. God was always on our side, he didn't give a damn about his children on the other side. Over the past 2000 years science has grown up, but religion has not. It is now time for religion to also grow up and match its sibling science in maturity, wisdom and all encompassing humanity. It is very hard to build a bridge when one side is many hundreds of miles lower than the other. If religion stays stuck in the past there may be no hope for the world, as the religious insanity extant on this planet at this time exceeds the collective wisdom of those who might wonder what to do about it. And insane religion with the power of science behind it is a truly scary scenario. During my years of research into the science side of the matter presented before you, I have come to the following conclusions about the nature of God and the AllThatIs. If there is a God, not only are we all Sons of God, but we are all God Himself in carnation, period. As The Proof will show you, two different objects can never be certain of each other, thus if God and Soul are two different objects, they will forever remain a theory to each other. We now conceive 'God' as a Multi I-AM being, and all life forms including me and thee and them, are one or more of those individual I-AM's in carnation. Each being CHOOSES his incarnation, and thus has full personal responsibility for being here, whether he remembers it or not. Once that sense of personal responsibility for being here is lost, it is mostly a down hill path from there on out for that being. Put more poetically, a sense of personal responsibility for being here is what a lost sheep has lost. By regaining that sense of responsibility for being here we resolve the religious insanity within ourselves by answering the question who or what is cause around here: we are, as God in carnation. It also resolves the question of how do we accomplish the things we want done for our future. The answer is, it is up to us, as there is no one to help us but ourselves, but with the power of a multi I-AM God flowing THROUGH us, we can do anything we wish, as long as we maintain that personal responsibility for condition. Thus religions that teach we did not choose our own incarnation for our own purposes are fiddling the Devil's Tune. This unfortunately also includes that part of science that teaches that consciousness is merely a flavor of meat. Consciousness is not made of meat, consciousness is not merely a process in the brain, consciousness is not merely chemistry bubbling away at 98.6 degrees Farenheit. As The Proof will show, consciousness CAN NOT be made of any possible space time mechanism at all. That leaves us with the conclusion that the conscious being is made of spaceless timeless stuff, which for lack of a better word we might call eternal spirit, which apparently incarnates as it will, in living physical universe atoms, molecules, and organisms for purposes of its own choosing. That we do not remember doing so does not in any way lessen the possible truth of the above statement. There is also good reason to believe that space and time are always finite, thus all space time game streams end one day. There may be heavens and there may be hells, but all last only a while, for God could not, would not and should not ever throw Himself nor any part of Himself into Hell forever. The only thing that lasts forever is people and timeless eternal peace. As the Sufis said: "There is peace in the understanding that one day ALL men will attain the awakened state." Each being is judged only by himself, and his heavens and hells are created by the warp and woof of his own postulates that he makes while operating as an individual being. The way to happiness is a true confession. There is no one sitting in judgment over us and our hells can not out live a true confession and repentance of the tomfoolery that got us into them. Thus God's mercy is absolute because it is only and always towards Himself. God is just and merciful to forgive Himself when he starts behaving like a brother and sister again, rather than an AssSoul, and can rest assured he can maintain it. Even if not in this particular life on this particular Earth. Religious insanity can then be defined as a break in the sense of responsibility for, and brotherhood and sisterhood between us all. Religious insanity is a disownership, if you will, of other family members. Not just the family of man, but the family of the All That Is, the High US. The joke is, it is not the disowned that end up in hell forever as wished by the disowner, but the disowner who ends up in hell for a while until he gives up his irresponsibility for his brothers and sisters no matter how badly misbehaved they are. We thus conclude that restoring religious sanity to the planet, and unifying religion and science into one super subject to the benefit of all of mankind are of paramount importance to our well being. It can not be done in any other way. Truth is a jealous God. No matter how polite and tolerant people of different religions may act towards each other, there will be NEVER be peace on Earth and good will towards man, as long as they still believe the other side is damned forever for being on the other side! It is not possible to make real friends with those you consider damned. This is not a Christian world, nor a Muslim world, nor a Jewish world, nor a Buddhist world, although each would love to see it so. The time for high school games and high school pride is over. I say this with all due respect to you, as I believe you are a Christian, so please forgive me if I offend. Christmas is a celebration of the belief that the majority of the world is going to hell forever when they die for not toeing the party line of the minority Christian population of the planet. Do you see my point? The way to world peace is not through institutionalized bigotry of any kind, be it Christian, Muslim, Jewish or Atheist. But nor is the way to world peace by acting with a facade of secular indifference to malignant religions, because then religion festers in its own private enclaves of ignorance, bigotry, barbarism and hatred without being pushed into the 21st century along with the rest of our knowledge, wisdom and kindness. In no way are we arguing against absolute separation of Church and State. There is nothing more insane than a religious fanatic, and nothing more dangerous than a religion backed by a powerful military to enforce its fanaticism. However our efforts to be too tolerant of the intolerant is dangerous, although we try to be accepting of all religions in America, it is not true that religions that teach bigotry and separation of God and Soul are benign. They ARE the cancer that is destroying the world, although we are not allowed to say this in public. We no longer accept that Jews or Blacks or foreigners are sub human, but we continue to allow our Western Madrassahs to teach that entire races go to hell forever for following the wrong Messiah. We can no longer tolerate at the state level the hypocrisies that teach children to deal with others by "...saying one thing to their face and another thing over grace." In public we say love your neighbor as yourself. In private we say 'thank you Lord that we are not a them.' Is that what we want for an enlightened country where people can worship freely? Do we want to provide a world where the vast majority worships bigotry and hatred for everyone else? Do we really want a country or a world comprised of endless groups of people who think all other groups are damned? Does freedom of religion mean freedom to hate and condemn our brothers and sisters to hell forever or believe in a God less human than ourselves? Yes, we perhaps can not legislate against it, but can there be world peace in those circumstances? Perhaps we can not force truth upon people, freedom to believe in hatred must be allowed, so others are free to believe in brotherhood, but we do need to see the problem and keep it in mind at all times and not fall into playing games of bigotry in the name of high school politics. Institutionalized or state sanctioned bigotry must be removed from our public life. If we don't like people over there teaching their kids that America is the Great Satan, we MUST no longer condone teaching our kids the same thing about those people over there. America is great because people risked their lives to come here for freedom of worship, thus we can not be led into the future by leaders that wish to make America a Christian country, or a Muslim country, or a Jewish country, or an atheist country, or who in their heart of hearts believe that everyone else is going to hell forever except them. Private bigotry can not be the engine of political power that moves us into the future. How does "God Bless Whites!" sound to you? How does "God Bless America!" sound to the rest of the world? It sounds like "God damn everyone else", and that is EXACTLY how the rest of the world takes it. God Bless US One and All is more appropriate to the new age. Do we have it to lead the way and leave the 'God Bless America' behind, and use 'God Bless Us One and All' instead? One has to believe it and want it, or the prayer for blessing falls on deaf ears. God is a jealous God. Prayer does not work if one only invokes half or part of the Multi I-AM God. One has to invoke ALL of Him, thus one has to invoke everybody, the HIGH US, even one's own most detested enemies, if one expects one's supplications to matter. For by including everyone, we are operating again AS God in carnation, and the power of the All-That-Is will flow directly through us, as we ARE the All-That-Is in carnation. If there is even one person we disown forever not as our brother, then we are operating as something other than the One God who is all of US, and the prayer will fail as the power is not there. This includes one's most detested enemies, because they are an eternal immutable part of the High Us, and they are the one's we all need most to bring back into the fold of our family heart for our OWN healing. Even if they remain rats until the end of time. Sending someone to hell forever will not make anyone happy in heaven no matter how long they have to forget about it. It is OK to have a rat in the family as long as he is our brother and we quarantine him humanely inside OUR heaven. It may be hard for the common man to consider someone like Hitler or Osama a brother lost to the dark side of the force, but you KNOW how hard it is going to be to unite the world unless EVERYONE is a spiritual brother. People seem to need their hatred but it makes them ugly, and worse it endangers all of life on Earth. Our enemies are those who are proud of their hate and who do not accept the High US as their family. We need to accept THEM as part of the High US and our family. The minute someone disowns someone, the minute someone is not a brother anymore, all you have is war. And there is NOTHING you can do about it. You know this, I know you know this. So I would hope to see religion and science go hand in hand into a better more glorious 21st century, not at war with themselves or each other, but as brothers and sisters who truly know how to operate life for the benefit of all. We can't live by religion alone, and we can't live by science alone. I am sorry, some people just need to be called on the carpet for their bull. Such a dream of unification between religion and science has been attempted in the past, I can only hope to try again, the material enclosed is brand new and carries astounding ramifications. It starts the connecting bridge between science and religion. But me of little faith, I can see the eyeballs rolling now... That is why I turn to you and others, people of influence, who can move the world forward, not just towards greater peace and scientific achievements, but towards a greater unified operating spirituality on all 4 planes of existence, body, heart, mind and soul. I do not ask for any response from you unless you should desire to communicate your thoughts, and the material is given freely and without constraint. You are free to give it to anyone who you deem worthy of the problem and the information contained herein. The only thing more dangerous than unscientific religion, may be Godless science. Einstein's work may be used to destroy the world in an atomic wave of light and destruction, while the proof can be used to grant spiritual understanding to those seeking brotherhood with each other and God again. Science and Religion MUST be unified and made to balance or the power of one will be used to destroy the other and the rest of the world with it. The fractal stuff at the back is for the edification of your children, please give the postcards, DVD and color sheet to them. These will open their minds to a new and infinite world inside of mathematics that can and will change the course of science if the rest of the world will let it. Yours in good faith, Homer Wilson Smith Jane Elizabeth Staller Obama-lama whama-lama, Barack and Roll is King! Sorry, a little jubilance over your election. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Homer Wilson Smith The Paths of Lovers Art Matrix - Lightlink (607) 277-0959 KC2ITF Cross Internet Access, Ithaca NY homer@lightlink.com In the Line of Duty http://www.lightlink.com Tue Jul 21 22:32:34 EDT 2009
