DK’s Students

Kelly writes:

I have a few questions on DK and Annoyances – what exactly happened to this group of “world servers”?

Did they succeed? Was DK going through Alice Bailey in order to criticize constructively his students, or did he do it live in front of them? I’m assuming this was an actual group here on earth and not some ethereal beings. As such – then where is the group at now or their successors?

DK worked with real people like you and me in the flesh in an effort to establish a new type of working living group. He referred to it as a living organism so he seemed to be trying to take it in a molecular direction, but did not work with any type of pairing or molecular numbers, though he did say that 49 ashrams are in the process of materializing on the planet, of which his group was a part of one.

He had a disadvantage in that the group members were from various different places on the planet, but had an advantage that he could tune in to their minds and monitor their progress. As needed he gave individual instructions to the students through Alice A. Bailey and then she sent them on to the various students.

Over a period of 15 years or so he worked with about 50 students. He called the experiment a failure as far as their work in this period is concerned but stated the group has a unity on subtle planes and will eventually be successful in future lives.

Of the original 50 students 16 stayed with him until the effort ended and of that sixteen only six had progressed well enough to be of any value to the hierarchy.

He pointed out that even the masters cannot predict success or failure as far as dealings with humans go because of human freewill in time and space.

So, if a master can labor with all the tools at his disposal and only wind up with six souls that are of any use in group work then I guess I should not feel discouraged. DK found six, I need to find 24 for my mission and have to do it as a normal human being with no particular special abilities.

DK pointed out three main reasons for the failure of his group.

First students were more concerned about developing their own abilities than in service and support of the goals of the group.

Second, they were more concerned with the flaws of other group members rather than looking at their own.

Third, they only gave lip service to his advice and didn’t follow it. If they disagreed with the instructions they claimed that Alice A. Bailey wrote it rather than DK. DK said this never happened.

Finding a group of people who can work together under the direction of the soul is a daunting task indeed, but one that will be accomplished. It is just a matter of time, for one day soul groups on earth will be a common thing.

Kelly

Has Lucis Trust via their website taken over the “works” in our modern era? Or did DK just call himself on an absent leave until 2025 (ish) like it was said so somewhere in the Bailey books or JJ’s archives.

Alice A. Bailey founded the Lucis trust and the Arcane school completely on her own with no help from DK. It was something she had to do to demonstrate her own powers of initiation. DK did not give her any grade on her work. Lucis Trust does have custody of the books which was fine with DK. The people at Lucis trust seem to be fine people and the Arcane School does good work, but they are very cautions about following the Bailey writings and I have not seen any thinking out of the box come from anyone associated with them.

Unfortunately, most Alice A. Bailey students lean left even though, as I pointed out earlier, most of DK’s writings lean right.

Ruth asks about the advanced souls who got caught under the reign of Hitler:

“Did any of them kill Jews? Did any of them go down the wrong path with Hitler, instead of working against Hitler?”

I am sure that a number of them did things that they wish they could have a voided. Many people are way too judgmental of those caught up in various thoughtforms of history past. They do not realize how powerful they are and that they themselves in past lives did all kinds of things that we in the current time judge as evil. For instance, many of the finest people we see about us today were slave holders in another era.

Many advanced souls cooperated with Hitler to some degree. Some woke up and others did not.

Problems for Healers

May 14, 2016 Joseph Dewey

Problems for Healers

A reader asked me why some healers who have the ability to help others often suffer with illness themselves.

There are three main reasons for this.

(1) Karma in connection with past lives. They become a healer in this life with personal limitations to pay an ancient debt.

(2) Energy follows thought. Because they are in the healing business they place a lot of thought on disease and health. If they are not careful thought can draw the wrong energies to the healer. The solution is complete self forgetfulness.

(3) Some healers see the energy coming from them instead of through them. This wrong thinking can deplete them of energy and weaken them. Always see yourself as a vessel not the source.

It is interesting to note that Paul who performed miracles himself noted that he had a physics problem he called a thorn in his side that served to keep him humble.

Jesus also made a curious statement:

And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself. Luke 4:23

Is it possible that Jesus had some type of physical infirmity? Now that is an interesting thing to contemplate.

The Right Place

May 14, 2016September 20, 2019 Joseph Dewey

May 1, 2016

The Right Place

Dan:

In the series linked above, you cover the who, what, why and the how but not the where. Regarding that last sentence quoted: To “direct them to their right place”, we must know where is their “right place”.

What is the “right place” to direct the lesser lives generally speaking as well as for each of the greater “lesser lives” (centers/chakras) taken individually? To what SPECIFIC use/purposes SHOULD each of the lives be directed.

Good question.

Of all the lesser lives that function within us none are more often out of place than the astral based deva lives. In order of right placing we have first the physical/etheric, next up is the astral emotional and then the mental. Above this is the spiritual realms of buddhic and higher.

The emotionally based lives are always trying to usurp the authority of the mind and take control. In truth the mind is higher and has natural control over the emotional self and should not allow the emotions to take its place. When they do they are then in their wrong place. Here are some examples.

(1) Jealousy. Joan’s boyfriend flirts with other females and this brings the astral devas to life demanding that Joan put a stop to it. For a time they get more attention than the logical mind and Joan follows them and gives her boyfriend such a bad time that he considers ending the relationship. Just in time the mind puts the astral devas in their right place and forces them to submit to reason. Then Joan takes a softer more gentle approach and saves the day.

(2) Romantic Love. Sarah falls in love with a charming drug dealer.. The mind calculated that the relationship, as well as Sarah’s life, is heading over a cliff. The devas controlling romantic love are unconcerned. They like the new stimulation of the romantic love the boyfriend creates and want more of it. They upsurge the authority of the mind and get Sarah to respond to their needs and embrace the drug dealer. After a period of time the mind assumes its correct place and ends the relationship and orders to astral devas to cool it.

Just as the astral lives get out of their right place so do the mental ones, especially those who influence the concrete mind. When a person becomes an atheist his lower mind upsurges the right place of the soul and directs the life of the entity.

Think for a moment of emotional situations you have been in. When this occurs, and if you pay attention, you can feel the emotional lives fighting for control. Unfortunately, if you let them have it they will most certainly lead you to sorrow. Mind and reason must be the guide and the seeker must use reason and logic to keep the lower emotions in their right place.

I received a question from an LDS reader who is trying to square off parts of Mormon doctrine with reincarnation.

He was wondering how the doctrine of translation fit in with reincarnation and the scheme of things. For instance, Elijah was said to be taken into heaven and translated, yet it seems that he was born again as John the Baptist. The LDS believe that Moses, Enoch, John the Revelator and some Indian prophets were also translated.

Now the doctrine of translation is basically this. A few righteous souls experience a change in their bodies so they are not subject to death. They are not yet eternal as the resurrected Jesus but have their lives prolonged until the final resurrection.

The first thing to understand here is that many points of Mormon doctrine are either not correct or just short of a complete understanding. Mormonism has some pieces of the great puzzle, but is far from having the whole picture. Understanding reincarnation is a huge piece that is necessary to see the grand design.

The doctrine of translation most closely corresponds to the achievement of the fifth initiation as taught in the ancient wisdom. When this is achieved the disciple becomes a Master and has power to prolong the life of his body as long as it is useful to do so. He also achieves numerous other fairly superhuman abilities.

What Mormonism misses is that all form is not eternal but any form we inhabit is merely a vehicle to be used for a certain purpose that spans a finite period of time. Only the eternal life within the vehicle which is connected to God is eternal.

Elijah most likely experienced the change of translation sometime before his ascension described in the Bible. When he ascended to the higher realms of the spirit world his body would have vibrated to a higher level so in a sense when living in these mansions he essentially has no physical body, but a spiritual one.

Such a master can, however, materialize a physical body at will and reappear in the material world. Or, if he desires he can send a part of his spiritual essence back to earth to be reborn again.

This is hinted at in the LDS scriptures. Concerning celestial beings it is written:

“Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death…” D&C 76:59

Higher beings who have mastered death are not limited to one life or one physical body. All things are theirs and they can choose to continue life in the higher realms or death and be born again as a baby here on the earth.

DK gives what I believe to be the most profound words ever written that succinctly relates the process of transitioning from mortality to immortality.

“When communion is established, words are forthwith used, and mantric law assumes its rightful place, provided that the One communicates the words and the three remain in silence.

“When response is recognized as emanating from the three, the One, in silence, listens. The roles are changed. A three-fold word issues from out the triple form. A turning round is caused. The eyes no longer look upon the world of form; they turn within, focus the light, and see, revealed, an inner world of being. With this the Manas stills itself, for eyes and mind are one.

“The heart no longer beats in tune with low desire, nor wastes its love upon the things that group and hide the Real. It beats with rhythm new; it pours its love upon the Real, and Maya fades away. Kama and heart are close allied; love and desire form one whole, one seen at night, the other in the light of day….

“When fire and love and mind submit themselves, sounding the three-fold word, there comes response.

“The One enunciates a word which drowns the triple sound. God speaks. A quivering and a shaking in the form responds. The new stands forth, a man remade; the form rebuilt; the house prepared. The fires unite, and great the light that shines: the three merge with the One and through the blaze a four-fold fire is seen.”

Martian Questions

May 14, 2016 Joseph Dewey

April 26, 2016

Martian Questions

Ruth has some questions:

“As to Mars, Mercury and the ‘four other planets,’ they bear relation to the Earth of which no Master…will ever speak…” (Vol. I, 187)

Questions: Why will no Master ever speak of the relation to Earth of Mars and the four other planets?

You got me on that one. It may have something to do with the fall and that the earth is not a sacred planet along with the symbolic “war in heaven.”

Ruth

Mars has two satellites to which he has no right. (astral and mental. A.A.B.)

Why has Mars two satellites to which he has no right? How did Mars obtain these two satellites?

Most satellites come from the same originating matter as the planet they circle. For instance scientists think the moon was broken off from the earth because of an ancient collision.

The satellites of Mars are different in that it is believed by science that they are wayward asteroids that were captured by Mars and were never part of the Martian soil.

So, after a manner of speaking the satellites of Mars were stolen property.

Ruth

Was all life on Mars destroyed?

If ther was life there at one time it doesn’t seem to be there now. I would suspect that when the dig below the surface they will eventually find some primitive life. If there is any intelligent life there on the physical plane it would have to be below the surface.

Now the etheric plane of Mars could be another matter and be the source of intelligent life that is invisible to normal human vision.

Ruth

Mars was the Lord of birth, of death, of generation and destruction.

(Vol. II, 410)

Mars was called the six-faced planet. (Vol. II, 399)

Mars WAS called the six-faced planet and WAS the Lord of Birth, Death of generation and destruction……..so what is Mars now, if it is no longer?

I think that HPB is merely talking of astrological influences.

The six faces could be another way of saying that Mars is ruled by the sixth ray.

Ruth

Is Earth helping to rebuilt Mars again?

Obviously not yet, but if we do not blow ourselves up first and continue to develop technology we will go to Mars (and other planets) and seed life there again.

More DK Quotes

There is a group of what we might call Telepathic Communicators. (head, heart and throat centres) These people are receptive to impression from the Masters and from each other; they are the [36] custodians of group purpose and, therefore, closely related to all the other types of groups. Their work is largely on the mental plane and they work in and with thought matter and with the reception and direction of thought currents. They are also working at the facilitation of communication between individuals so that the rules and methods whereby speech can be transcended may become known and the new way of intercourse be brought about.

***

Present day healers should endeavour to break loose from the modern and traditional ideas as to healing; they should recognise the stupendous fact that healing must eventually be carried forward by groups which will act as the intermediaries between the plane of spiritual energy (either soul energy, intuitional energy or will energy) and the patient or group of patients.

***

Inner work which does not work out into objective activity upon the physical plane is wrongly oriented and inspired.

***

I have stated that the first requirement is sensitivity. What exactly is this? It does not mean primarily that you are a “sensitive soul”—the connotation of which usually means that you are thin-skinned, self-centred and always on the defensive! Rather do I refer to the capacity whereby you are enabled to expand your consciousness so that you become aware of ever- widening ranges of contact. I refer to the ability to be alive, alert, keen to recognise relationships, quick to react to need, mentally, emotionally and physically attentive to life and rapidly developing the power to observe upon all three planes in the three worlds simultaneously. I am not interested in your personal relations where they concern your wrong personality sensitivity to depression, to self-pity, your defenses, your so-called sensitivity to slights, to misunderstandings, your dislike of your environing conditions, your hurt pride and qualities of this kind. These all cause you bewilderment and let loose in you the floodgates of compassion for yourself. But you do not need me to deal with them; of them you are well aware and can handle them if you choose. These faults are interesting only in so far as they affect the life of your group; they must be handled by you with care and with the open eye that senses danger from afar and seeks to avoid it. The sensitivity which I want to see developed is alertness to soul contact, impressionability to the “voice of the Teacher,”

***

“Better a man’s own dharma, than the dharma of another.” Thus does the Bhagavad Gita express this truth, telling the disciple to mind his own business. … In every group there is usually one group member (and perhaps several) who constitute a problem to themselves and to their group brothers.

****

Steadily and without descent must the attitude of meditation be held—not for a few minutes each morning or at specific moments throughout the day, but constantly, all day long. It infers a constant orientation to life and the handling of life from the angle of the soul.

Molecular Question

May 14, 2016 Joseph Dewey

April 9, 2016

Molecular Question

I would like to thank all those who have given likes and especially those who have shared the quotes I have been placing on Facebook. I want to continued to encourage group members who are my friends on Facebook to continue sharing the quotes. I have been placing a new one each day and the results are encouraging.

Dan Writes:

I work for a small 50+ employee health care organization (nursing home + assisted living + home health care) that provides care to 35 long term care residents, 9 assisted living suites and about 20 home health clients.

The present owner is rapidly becoming disenchanted with governmental regulation/medicare reimbursement and general employee disgruntlement to the point she is looking for a way out.

There MAY be an opportunity to buy/remake the business over on an employee-owned/cooperative/molecular business model (or ?). The building/grounds/equipment is owned by and leased from the County by the present Administrator/Owner.

Marci and I are both employed there, well-respected and may have a powerful enough voice to help effect a change of this nature, but I need more specific direction regarding how a more molecular business model might work in this situation.

Any input appreciated.

To create a full fledged Molecular business it would be desirable to create a totally new one so you don’t have to go through the process of converting existing employees, some of which may not be friendly to new ideas.

There are several molecular principles that a new owner can place into an existing business. An important one is the election principle. Most employees would like to have the power to elect their leaders rather than have them appointed – often on the good ole boy principle. The only one that would be likely to complain about this would be existing leaders. Normally the initiate is except from election because he goes through a natural election when the group joins with him. It is up to him as to whether he lets himself be challenged.

The other thing you can apply is some type of ownership opportunities for employees. This would require the company be a corporation and issue stock. More and more companies are becoming employee owned.

Here in Boise WINCO groceries started out in 1985 as a local employee owned group of stores that has blossomed to 105 stores with 15,000 employees. The employees purchased the basic business from an existing company and streamlined it. Maybe you could do something similar.

It is important to realize that the Molecular concept is not a democracy, though it uses ingredients from it. It incorporates the election principle causing leadership to arise from the bottom up. But when elected the leader has the decision-making powers. Because he can be challenged at any time he will seek to keep employees happy by responding to their needs and suggestions.

A Cry for Help

May 10, 2016May 10, 2016 Joseph Dewey

March 27, 2016

A Cry for Help

It seems that from what Jody has mentioned in the past that he had some kind of spiritual attack that caused him much grievance. Since it began around the time he joined this group he seems to blame us for the problem. Apparently he believes that we held some kind of secret meeting and called down some evil forces to torture him for some odd reason.

Let me set the record straight. We believe in the principles of harmlessness and goodwill here and wish you nothing but the best. Whatever happened to you was not caused by anything directed to you from anyone here.

What needs to be examined is the cause of negative attacks. Most of the time they come from a person’s own Dweller on the Threshold. This Dweller is a thoughtform which is an accumulation all negativity and fear from past lives and it seeks to stop the seeker from making any significant steps into the light for once the individual merges with his soul the Dweller loses its power and begins disintegration. Therefore, when the seeker puts himself in a situation where he may make a significant step forward he may cause the Dweller to feel that his life is at stake and do everything in its power to stop him.

This may be what happened to you. If you are indeed dealing with a full-fledged attack from your Dweller then you are facing quite an ordeal. I have written about dealing with this type of situation in my book The Lost Key of the Buddha. If you haven’t read it yet I’ll send you a copy of the account.

The basic principle involved is attrition. Here is a link that will give you some details on it.

LINK

In addition to this sometimes the seeker will just open the wrong door through a series of personal problems. Any type of residual guilt is always a problem and needs to be addressed and rectified.

We are here to offer you whatever help we can so please approach us as the friends we are.

March 28, 2016

As we go through life we all develop certain internal triggers, often because of stress, and later in life just a word or a phrase can trigger a surprisingly strong negative reaction that will seem almost supernatural. The source of these triggers could be a phrase from anyone, even a loving parent. The solution is to go back to the exact moment that the trigger happened and review it over and over until it loses power to hurt.

The solution lies inside of yourself, not outside.

***

I’m glad your attacks have ceased whatever their cause.

It does not make any sense that higher intelligence would just randomly select targets such as yourself. What’s in it for them? I have found in my life that there is a reason in connection with my past or present thought and actions that creates my current reality. This realization is empowering.

If one thinks his fate is the result of randomness then one would feel that he is at the whims of forces with no control over self. I assure you that is not the case.

It is true that there are some things not under our control, but that is temporary, like the weather. Sooner or later the sun will shine with all its life-giving power.

The Truth about Suicide

May 10, 2016 Joseph Dewey

March 23, 2016

The Truth about Suicide

A reader asks:

What happens, or what could a person expect, to their Spirit/Soul if they commit suicide? Is there a difference if the suicide is done violently, or calmly? Is there a difference depending on the attitude/reason of the person?

Good questions. Let us address them one at a time.

(1) What happens, or what could a person expect, to their Spirit/Soul if they commit suicide?

Any death that interrupts the life plan of the soul is serious whether it be the murdering of another person or yourself. Before we are born we plan out the future life through the eyes and wisdom of the Higher Self in cooperation with other souls. When death occurs through natural causes or circumstance it is usually a happening seen in advance and part of the plan for that life. But when a life is taken through a free will decision then the plan is often thwarted. This has repercussions not only to the soul involved but other associates that were expecting to have future interactions with that soul in that life. One death that interrupts the plan can wind up affecting the life plan of a dozen other people.

Murder of another is worse than suicide because the perpetrator is interfering in a life outside of himself which also winds up affecting himself and others.

Suicide is usually the result of depression or great despair. After a suicide, because of the heavy emotions involved, the person may find himself earthbound for a time in etheric or astral matter. Eventually he comes to his senses and seeks the light and returns home and unites with his soul. After this occurs he then undergoes a life review with the assistance of several highly evolved entities. Here he or she clearly sees the effect of his suicide as well as other acts while in that life. He sees how the suicide affected others as well as his own life plans and he realizes that his act caused a lot of wasted time to himself as well as others. He sees that he will have to plan out another life and go through a similar depressing experience and this time (hopefully) handle it better and work through it.

He sees the situation as a significant mistake, but one that can be corrected. He is usually interested in reincarnating as soon as possible so he can learn the needed lesson that was missed and then get back on track.

Suicide is generally a serious mistake, but it is not an unforgivable sin. The one who commits the deed is the one who kicks himself in the next world for doing something that frustrated his plans for that particular life.

(2) Is there a difference if the suicide is done violently, or calmly?

There is a temporary difference. The greater the despair a person is in the greater may be the delay in returning to his soul and planning for another life to repair the delay in progression.

(3) Is there a difference depending on the attitude/reason of the person?

Yes, there will be a difference in the effect that is determined by the circumstances. The effect is greatest if the person commits suicide when young with a whole life in front of him. If he is older and has a terminal disease then the negative effect will not be so great as he has already accomplished most of what he came here to do. One must consider though that part of his learning experience that was planned may have been seeing life through to the end, even though suffering was involved.

To understand the detriment of suicide consider a soul who planned out a life of about 80 years and planned on learning one important lesson per decade. If he ends his life when he is 20 he is missing out on six planned lessons. If he ends his life when he is 70 he is set back only one lesson.

In addition to missing out on lessons he must learn to correct whatever it is that is causing him to end his life and frustrate the plan of his soul.

Suicide is always wrong unless the person receives an impression from his soul that no harm will result from the act. Someone in a very painful situation may be justified, but even here he must get inner approval before acting.

As Proverbs says, there is a time and a place for everything.

Suicide is particularly tough on loved ones left behind. It is extremely tough if they fear the victim’s soul will wind up in hell or suffer eternal doom.

All souls at death are placed in the hands of a loving God whose helping hands are a numerous company of other loving souls who will do all they can to assist and help those who have erred to set them on the right course.

The Trump Category

May 10, 2016 Joseph Dewey

March 7, 2016

The Trump Category

lwk Quotes me as follows:

“…the dark brothers are dishonest and they will lie to you and never tell you exactly what they believe and what they think. You cannot tell what they believe by listening to them. They will tell you what they believe is necessary to get them elected or gain your trust.”

Then makes this comment:

Sounds exactly like Donald Trump in spades. How so many people place any trust in him given his history is amazing. The ability of humans to practice self deception is amazing. Trump wrote “The Art of the Deal” and proved over and over again he would renege on any deal he could if it was in his interest at the time.

I wouldn’t put Trump in the same category as the numerous politicians, past and present, who try and present themselves as different than they really are in order to get elected.

There are generally two types who run for office.

The first category is in the minority, and that is the fairly honest politician who is up front about his beliefs and tells the people what he will do. If he is asked a question he will give a reasonably honest answer.

Examples of this first category are Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and Bernie Sanders.

The more common politician will tell his or her voters what he thinks they want to hear in order to get their trust and their votes. It is not until they get elected and we actually see their actions in office that we see what their core beliefs are and how they stand up under pressure.

The strange thing is that even when many politicians betray the trust of their voters they are still able to come back and lie to them near election day and make them think their vote of betrayal was justified, or an anomaly, and that they have listened to the common guy, get the message and will really represent them this time.

Examples of politicians who say what people want to hear to get elected are President Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio.

This category of politician fools many of the common people who do not pay attention, but they always give clues in advance that are available for those who are alert.

Obama was one of the best in recent times at presenting a false image of himself and what he was going to do.

When campaigning in 2008 he convinced many that he was all for fiscal responsibility. He was going to go through that budget line by line and streamline and trim like no president ever has. He would save us more than Obamacare was going to cost. In fact the average person would pay over $2000 less for insurance.

He said he was a big supporter of the Constitution and the Second Amendment and reasonable free enterprise. He was not a socialist by any means, just a common sense guy who believed in fairness and giving people a shot at the American Dream.

He presented himself as a standard Christian who wasn’t aware of the inflammatory words spoken by his minister of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright.

Sure, he said he was going to fundamentally transform America, but that was going to be a good thing that everyone was going to love.

Those who paid attention were not fooled and not surprised by anything he did or attempted to do while in office.

Those who read his book, Dreams of My Father, saw that he had many radical socialist and communist influences that he embraced in his youth.

Those who watched the interview with Joe the Plumber got a giant hint about his true feelings of sharing the wealth.

Those who heard his leaked speech condemning those “who cling to their guns and religion” got an idea as to his true feelings toward standard Christians and Second Amendment supporters.

I also heard a teacher from the University of Chicago testify that Obama had told him when teaching there that he didn’t agree with the Second Amendment and he would disarm the people if there was a way to do it.

The only thing that Obama has done that surprised me was how much money he has spent. I knew he was going to be a big spender and was not going to trim the budget as he promised, but $10 trillion? Now that’s a lot of money. Up to $6-7 trillion was more in the range of my expectations, though his outrageous spending was not completely off my radar. I would have thought that some Democrats would have been alarmed with the massive borrowing, but many of them think he has not burrowed enough. It is like insanity is a contagious disease going around.

Now I see Donald Trump as being in a third category – I would call this the Dealmaker. The last real dealmaker we had as president was Lyndon Johnson, but there is a difference between him and Trump. Johnson’s top priority was his own agenda and power. I think Trump really is motivated to run because he thinks he can fix some of the messes we have gotten ourselves into. He likes personal power but fixing our major problems comes first in his mind, rather than just enjoying the perks of being president.

I do not see it as being deceptive to start with an outrageous offer and then modifying it to reach a deal. In deal making it is expected that the first offer may not be the final one. If I am at a garage sale and offer $10 for an item that does not mean that I will not pay $15 if I think the deal is worth it.

If elected I would expect that Donald will do his best to get the economy moving again and negotiate better deals with our potential enemies as well as friends.

I have two concerns with him. The first is that he may be too authoritarian and bypass Congress to get his way as has Obama.

The second is that if he is too harsh on his trade restrictions with China that China could retaliate and we could face physical conflict.

Japan attacked us at the beginning of World War II partially because of trade restrictions that starved them of raw materials.

I have concerns with all the candidates. You never know what you will get until the person is in office for a while.

Let us hope the best person wins.

This does indeed seem to be true. In most colleges fewer than 10% of the professors are Republicans. This seems to have been the trend for about a century or so.

It is interesting that many of our liberal universities though were founded by very conservative Christians. It would be interesting to calculate how long this liberal/conservative educational cycle is. I would guess we will be swinging back toward the conservative cycle within the next few years. Both cycles have their good and bad points, but each new cycle brings us closer toward the center.

Wavelengths

Wavelengths

JJ: It is true that all the worlds of form are created by illusion. As scientists examine physical matter and go smaller and smaller the only real thing they can find is wavelengths. The reason is that all form is created from wavelengths.

RR: You are forgetting what you recently learned for the discussion of the double slit experiment.

Not forgetting at all. Even considering the investigation of matter as particles science has not found anything solid. When investigating anything that appears to be solid nothing solid is found, but is in turn composed of mostly empty space and smaller particles, which are made of smaller particles that eventually are reduced to wavelengths.

That which appears to be solid matter is only a concentration of wavelengths interlapping..

There is no such thing as a solid particle.
