An invitation to solve a mystery

I came across an ad on facebook and found the link to this- I saw it a couple of weeks ago but could not post a comment without joining the wordpress and I have enough of such connections. Apparently a son is promoting the work of his father and I said it brave to take such a stance in his time. I have only seen the first page of this link and had to look up where il extension was.

Why is it so many Jewish people think they have an inside track and status on theoretical physics and then lobby so hard for some idea? The myth of Einstein and his race or culture? We should judge the theory in itself and not the politics of science. This error or blessing in education and access to it is not different than that of a hundred years ago in the American west, an elite and chosen higher level few who dabble and are ill prepared for life and work- while the nine-tenths of the rest struggle and appreciate their skills and what they had to learn. This is not to say in any people some who are authentic and original will arise. Let us not ignore those who will make a true contribution because others have the position to lecture only because of the political climate of their time. It is not a tribal war or turf battle, nor global conquest that we in humility are but in a white or black hole, too many of us now to intersect instead of mineral and water wealth and a future for our children in our great cities founded with no competitors for a thousand miles around. Let us manufacture again, applied science, but if we are to do theory in a needed revival let us manufacture it as if we worked and husbanded the earth itself- for these are the things of the earth before things of the gods.

Our dreams like our wealth should be there by their position in space and money and our debts not taken by force of eminent domain without compensation and reward for the property and free state of our toil, and like Marx said- capital, money, is a commodity like anything else in the abstract. But let us put an end to so called education when it is worthless even to have the labels of social status, fake degrees and fake rubles do not make a real world of the right to learn or right to work for knowledge too is a commodity- one that does better in an open and not closed market.

http://www.meru.org/ Stan Tennen I have talked with and he too has a take on sacred geometry- in fact in a dispute over propriety with Dan Winter whom I also spoke with when he came to town. But both men's dreams have something to say about geometry and some things that will not look so much New Age in retrospect. Both men have a sort of fire riding some ocean of space of mysticism. To me this is an echo of the cultural wars of the past- I mean, if we had settled Denver first then perhaps the east USA would be wild and unsettled instead of our overwhelming sense of home. Let us not try to follow the dark flow of faith to over take the earth by force, nor hold up in a circle like the crater of Bohemia against the plague where our light only sees an expanding and centered white hole. But in no case, should we proselytize and feel the need to do it unto others should we fool ourselves. Let us not play the victim card when the whole universe of space is still before us.
