The Infinite and the Alephbet

48-57 percent of all Americans with just grade school, no college, believe that the Earth was created by God 6000 years ago, or, more specifically at 6 PM (not 5 PM, not 7 PM), on a Saturday, October 22, 4004 BC.

God is testing your faith by putting all sorts of dinosaurs in the ground, a million years of ice layers in the glaciers, tree rings 11,000 years old, and starlight travelling from billions of light-years away.

In a book with talking snakes and talking donkeys, the first Hebrew word of the bible, Bereshit, has been translated as “In The Beginning”. That’s not what the word means, in Hebrew. If this is what the author intended, the word would be Barishona, which would actually indicate a single beginning. That’s why evangelicals intentionally exclude the modern Jewish translation from their list of translations, because the Jewish version does not read “In The Beginning”. They cannot handle this cold hard fact, so they suppress it.

Most secular people (all that I talk to anyways), believe the Bible is just pure nonsense, written by primitive unlearned unscientific bozos, and not worth reading or studying. They will happily read Lord of the Rings with talking trees, or Alice in Wonderland with talking rabbits. But, with the bible, also with talking animals, they see only malicious intent to fool and indoctrinate people with wild-eyed superstition. They don’t know much about mythology, and can’t see the mythological value in a narrative with a Tree of the knowledge between Good and Bad. Secular people believe the authors of the Bible were only trying to fool people – it has no symbolic value like the talking trees in Lord of the Rings smashing the clearcutting industrialists. It is not entertaining, it isn’t rich with symbolism, and it has no value, it’s just brainwashing of the masses with nonsense.

Whenever any author writes any book with talking animals, that author is screaming out: this is fiction! The author of the bible, like Tolkien or Lewis Carol, did not intend for mature intelligent adults to interpret the bible literally. King Balaam, well after creation – well into the heart of the “historical” narrative, gets into a heated debate with his donkey. The author is clearly not intending his audience to believe this narrative literally.

If I were to refuse to read Lord of the Rings because it has talking trees, I would be ridiculed, because, obviously Tolkien did not intend for me to take this literally.

When a modern secular science-zombie refuses to read the bible, he is lauded for his high intellectualism. Ridiculous.

Secular, modern, science-zombies insist there is no value in studying scripture.

Ya. Right. It only underpins the core of modern politics, countless military struggles, and forms the beliefs and the context for the social life of billions on earth. 4.65 billion people are either Christian, Jewish or Muslim.

And you don’t think the Bible and the Qur’an are important works to understand?

Secular folk share a massive part of the blame in why the literal reading of these works have gone unchallenged, for centuries now.

Ignorance has malicious effects, both amongst Young Earth Creationists, and amongst those who never study and try to understand, and thus never try to systematically deprogram the 37 percent of Americans who believe the earth is 6000 years old.

“We ought not to take literally that which is written in the Book of the Creation nor entertain the same ideas of it as are common with the vulgar. If it were otherwise, our learned ancient sages would not have taken so many pains to conceal the sense and to keep before the eyes of the uninstructed the veil of allegory which conceals the truths which it contains.

Taken literally that work contains the most extravagant and absurd ideas of the Deity.

This is a maxim inculcated by our wise men especially in connection with the work of the six days.

It is possible that by our own intelligence or by the aid of others some may guess the true meaning in which case they should be silent respecting it or if they do speak of it they should do so obscurely as I myself do leaving the rest to be guessed at by those who have sufficient ability to understand me.”

The “cloth” which people “wear”, represents a personality layer that you present to others in the world. Different circumstances may make you don different clothes, but we generally wear one thing at a time, or one unified style at a time, to, at least generally accurately portray our true internal state, without faking it too much.

What it represents is: two-faced people – people who try to weave together multiple personality fronts to others (at the same time), revealing that they are not being true to their actual intentions or emotions at the time.

Like a chef getting angry at a cook, then immediately turning to smile at and charm a crowd of well-to-do guests who just walked in the door.

In other words: fake is frowned upon in this passage – in this context in scripture.

There are also many over-the-top dramatic scenes in scripture when some poor stressed out dude, hearing even more distressing words or news, usually then falling on his knees and throwing sand on his head, he then: “rends his clothes” (tears his garments).

This is, instead, symbolic of losing one’s shit. One losing the ironed out exterior “clothing” – one’s outer personality breaking apart when one gets irate, and the real emotion boils over and breaks the façade being maintained.

When Jesus walks on “water”, this represents being able to cope with distressing news or some sort of commmmmotion in cognizance – like when you get bad news – the waves – the ripples of bad news reverberate through you – “bad”, in this case, because the waters are “troubled” – Jesus just got word that John the Baptist died. He was able to “walk” on this bad news. The “troubled waters” – the bad news, did not phase Jesus. That’s the symbolic point.

“Water” – Waves – the Rippling – Bouncing Signals within or outside you; which shed light on what’s going on inside or outside you – the reverberations that surround you and that pervade through you – like all of the waves that inform you of what’s going on in your own body, and all the waves that inform you of what’s going on in the world outside you – all of the echoes of what’s happening that reach you.

This is a very core concept in imagining how the infinite eternal tree of life works. No wonder “water” takes pride of place in the opening lines of Genesis!

Every mind is animated by its living members considering and sending signals between themselves, which ripple (or pass along waves or “echoes” in succession). For example, your cells can internally ponder the echoes that reach them – the signals that reach them, whether from other cells or from other things, and then your mind – your pondering is when this cell communicates with other cells, and when a good majority of your cells, or maybe when a small number of cells shout their case loudly to a lot of your cells, these waves might become the forefront of your consciousness – reverberating throughout your population of cells – the specific waves that a good portion of your cells are repeating/propagating/elaborating upon.

Just as cells within you communicate by sending “echoes” or “waves” between each other – signals, so too do humans employ “echoes” or “waves” to communicate with each other.

And, if you are short on wine, you can always strike up a conversation with others, and this may, depending on the subject matter, be just as, or more uplifting, exciting, satisfying or delightful as actual glasses full of actual wine.

So, if the subject matter is Jesus – discussing how to best serve as many living beings as possible – if you make this the subject matter, it can turn regular water (regular banter – a boring party), into something as delightful to the soul as wine – full of exhilarating passion and novel ideas to help other living things!

So, next time grape-wine runs out at your party, call upon the name of Jesus, ponder and speak of Jesus, and you can instantly turn normal water into delicious wine!

Jesus, another symbol, another element in Semitic scripture with a symbolic meaning, has always been, and will always be. Some creature, somewhere, right now, is acting to help as many other living things within all available means, with every last reserve of energy. Countless such individuals are doing this right now. Infinite living beings are doing this, right now. This has always been the case, is the case, and will always be the case. If the spirit of Jesus is lacking at any given moment, in some place, it exists, always, somewhere, in an infinite universe, and it will always come back again, sometime, resurrecting itself naturally, in every place, eventually, in an eternal universe.

Just because something always is, somewhere, doesn’t mean it always is, everywhere. Otherwise, gods wouldn’t fight, and mythology would be very boring. The quarrels and interplay between characters in cosmological mythologies, the world over, reveals that the authors understood very well that ever-present things can exist without being “everywhere”, and which do battle against or cooperate with other ever-present things.

And, yes, “fasting” is about food too – especially like taking a break from coffee, sugar, or any other drug.

Any system of living participation within you, between your cells, deserve and benefit from taking breaks.

If you were a cell within an animal, your perspective would be very different and things like regular “fasting” – like the sleep-cycles of the animal would be exceedingly important to your life and wellbeing.

“Fasting” is a method of mindfulness and of cleansing habits and clearing up future paths; not a mundane digestive recommendation.

After taking a break from any work, any length of arduous exertion, instead of going straight to the pantry or wine cellar to make your aching bones feel better, just sit and observe. Get in tune with how your body is aching after any period of work. There is a lot of information to be gleaned about what your body needs and how it could adapt during the next round of work. Lots of messages from the Lord are available in such a period of discombobulation – many requests, many complaints, many suggestions from your cells.

All of these concepts, and many more, in Semitic scripture, apply to all the infinite creatures within you, and all the infinite creatures outside of you, and all of the infinite creatures moving through you. Each one may be exhibiting/experiencing/undergoing any of the things mentioned in scripture.

These are universal ever-present goings-on, but not every individual, like you, is always exhibiting/experiencing/undergoing all these things all the time. Even so, even if you are not “fasting” at a given moment – there are infinite creatures within you that are “fasting”, and infinite creatures outside of you that are “fasting”.

Someone somewhere is truly “observing” their sabbath, right now. In fact, infinite individuals, found across the infinite universe, are observing their sabbath, right now, each in a unique way – each in a different situation. This has always been the case and will always be the case.

Infinite living beings are “rending their clothing” right now. This has always been the case and will always be the case.

Infinite living creatures are “walking on water” right now. This has always been the case and will always be the case.

The Hebrew term “Ein Soph”, meaning “without measure” or “infinite”, was the central symbol in the Kabbalah. It is employed as a noun: “The Infinite”. The different aspects of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life are said to all “emanate” from The Infinite:

“It does not reveal itself in a way that makes knowledge of its nature possible, and it is not accessible even to the innermost thought (hirhur ha-lev) of the contemplative. Only through the finite nature of every existing thing, through the actual existence of creation itself, is it possible to deduce the existence of Ein-Sof as the first infinite cause.”

“Ein-Sof is not his proper name, but a word which signifies his complete concealment, and our sacred tongue has no word like these two to signify his concealment. And it is not right to say ‘Ein-Sof, blessed be he’ or ‘may he be blessed’ because he cannot be blessed by our lips.”

“Every letter and every word in every section of the Torah have a deep root in wisdom and contain a mystery from among the mysteries of understanding, the depths of which we cannot penetrate…”

“…the content of the Torah possessed infinite meaning, which revealed itself differently at different levels and according to the capacity of the contemplator. The unfathomable profundity of the divine speech could not possibly be exhausted at any one level alone…

“…place in front of the eyes of your mind the letters of God’s name, as if they were written in a book in Hebrew script. Visualize every letter extending to infinity. What I mean is: when you visualize the letters focus on them with your mind’s eye as you contemplate infinity. Both together: gazing and meditating.”

“An impoverished person thinks that God is an old man with white hair, sitting on a wondrous throne of fire that glitters with countless sparks, as the Bible states: “The Ancient-of-Days sits, the hair on his head like clean fleece, his throne – flames of fire.” Imagining this and similar fantasies, the fool corporealizes God. He falls into one of the traps that destroy faith. His awe of God is limited by his imagination.

But if you are enlightened, you know God’s oneness, you know that the divine is devoid of bodily categories – these can never be applied to God. Then you wonder, astonished: Who am I? I am a mustard seed in the middle of the sphere of the moon, which itself is a mustard seed within the next sphere. So it is with that sphere and all it contains in relation to the next sphere. So it is with all the spheres – one inside the other – and all of them are a mustard seed within the further expanses. And all of these are a mustard seed within further expanses.

“When you contemplate the Creator, realize that his encampment extends beyond, infinitely beyond, and so, too, in front of you and behind you, east and west, north and south, above and below, infinitely everywhere. Be aware that God fashioned everything and is within everything. There is nothing else.”

Instead of spending hours of your time trying to teach you how to read Hebrew, and also try to teach you how to read Aramaic, while also trying to teach you how to read Arabic, which are all read right-to-left, and with each having its own script to learn, some with joining letters taking different forms, and each with nuances and special vocalization markers; instead, a simple common script will be offered – a script to represent Hebrew, Aramaic as well as Arabic, without any vowel signs, and it will be presented left-to-right. The additional Arabic letters (Dhal and company) will be listed when the need arises and will be printed as is from the Arabic script. Only these 22 letters are common to Hebrew Aramaic and Arabic:

The name “Jesus” represents the heartfelt sentiment of yearning to help all living things you are aware of – outside of you and within you. The key word is helping all within reach. Even people who most would condemn to death, like prostitutes in certain societies at certain times.

If that is your foundation in life, it will be a strong foundation, like a rock, helping you to weather the inevitable storms that you encounter in life. It will help you to be able to “walk on water”.

The keyword: all living things – to help everybody and every creature within reach – immediately begs the question – how does one achieve this? How does one know what others need? Does everybody want help? Should I make myself more aware of the needs of others or are the living beings I am already aware of enough for me to be responsible for? When one thinks one is helping, does this help continue to help repeatedly, down the road? People and their needs change constantly, so how can I be sure that what I’m doing right now is truly the best for all? One could ponder a thousand such questions.

Such a devoted spirit (usually young in years, like, usually under 30), is confronted with multitudes of basic limits to one’s abilities to “help everybody” and “save the world” and achieve “world peace”. After 30 years of age, after trying to save the world, after realizing how many hurdles this involves, most of these sorts of people throw in the towel and tend to their own nest instead.

The spirit of the name of Jesus is therefore elusive and complex to achieve gracefully and perpetually, but so long as your intentions are true and work continuously to move toward the direction of the essence of the name, then this does indeed embody the essence of Jesus, and will be a strong foundation for your life in the hereafter (your life, after now) (your limited temporary finite existence, from now-on – in the here-after).

Whereas Jesus is literally - letterally, the principle of trying to help all of the living beings within your reach, Muhammad is a way to get to Jesus. The letters of the name Muhammad (fifr) basically indicate a tempering of heat. Containing one’s fire. Holding back your anger. Tempering your desires. Giving thanks to what has been given to you by countless living beings around you and within you, who gave you your life, and continue to animate you; instead of burning in desire for what you don’t have. Appreciate what you do have – spend and enjoy what has already been provided for you for free! Instead of living in heat, take care of those who are cold (zxac).

If you’ve ever had the sense, maybe when you were young, that you were part of a common human family – that everybody appreciates the existence of the other, and meeting new people – anybody – was a blessing, and you just wanted to help others. That is precisely what Jesus is.

The power of admiration of and cooperation with others, and a sense of wanting to replenish the earth and its wildlife habitats, to protect all of its wonderful creatures, and to freely wander the earth and meet its people, and to expect to encounter lots of wonderful souls – if you’ve lost that sense, and yearn for its return, believe that this can be resurrected within you and fill you with passion again.

If, when you were young, your heart was an open book, and if you used to say ‘live and let live’ (you know you did, you know you did, you know you did), but if this ever-changing world in which we live in made you give in and cry; know that Jesus can make a return to you, but you have to believe in its name, and do works in its name. You have to invite that principle right into your very flesh and blood.

The Hebrew term hk, sometimes conjugated as qhk, often conjugated as ahk, and even conjugated as ayhk, means: “to add to, increase; more”.

The Hebrew term qhk, meaning “to gather, assemble, collect” is conjugated as ahk in 2 Samuel 6:1.

The Hebrew term fx or fxt means “bitterness, embittered, distressed, discontented, refractory, obstinate, contentious, disobedient, rebellious”.

The term fxa means “to embitter, quarrel, rebel, contest” in Aramaic, and “to dispute, doubt, argue” in Arabic.

The term fxaxyv means “bitter grief” in Hebrew, fxaxa means “bitter” in Hebrew, and fxax means “bitter, vehement, ferocious” in Aramaic.

If you are sitting on a comfortable couch in a cozy air-conditioned suite, and you are well-fed, with plenty of stores of grain in the pantry and plenty of savings in the bank account (Joseph), and you turn on the TV only to behold bombs dropping onto populated city centers with limbs being shorn off innocent people, or with blood and guts from 70 people attending a wedding that was cluster-bombed, or seeing migrants and refugees left out in the cold, or seeing police beating up peaceful protesters with a club and a tazer and firing upon journalists that are just bringing you the footage of this brutality, or watching entire countries – entire societies being bombed back to the stone age with your own country’s munitions and soldiers; you might become embittered, discontented, contentious, disobedient and rebellious (Mary); and with the stores of wealth you have available, you might immediately (automatically – instinctively) turn to trying to help these people (Jesus).

Without even realizing it, if you have plenty to give and behold atrocities and injustices, you might automatically turn to trying to help and save those being left out in the cold or left to die a miserable death at the hands of your own country’s police or military forces.

This was turned into a storyline – the virgin birth. When Joseph (wealth, stores) meets Mary (discontent, bitterness), before you know it, you are applying your wealth to help those being traumatized, bludgeoned or in danger of being murdered (Jesus is born automatically in your heart).

Just a few hundred years after the composition of this cryptic narrative, the symbolic view had been lost, along with the original Hebrew Gospel(s) which contained the symbolism.

After many book burnings and councils, only morons remained, puzzling over the meaningless Greek translation, and then what do people do? That’s right – they start fighting, fighting over the virgin birth and the trinity. They were no longer able to comprehend the text in anything other than a literal manner and so this passage – about the spirit of helping others being born in your heart without you even knowing it – this well-intentioned passage, (along with John chapter 1 about “The Word” becoming flesh), this all became the cause of much bloodshed in of itself! In one case alone, 10,000 Chalcedonian Christians in Alexandria were killed over a Christological dispute (a dispute over the nature of the trinity – over the nature and provenance of Jesus the man and the divine Jesus).

~1000 years after these disputes and murders over the nature and provenance of Jesus, up to 1,000,000 people were slaughtered in the Albigensian Crusade over the Cathar’s conception of the nature and provenance of Jesus. “Kill them all, and let God sort them out” People who thought that the New Testament was speaking of Jesus in allegorical terms, and that he was not a real-world human being, but a spirit or “phantom” only? Can’t have that! Death to all those who don’t believe in the real-life flesh-and-blood Jesus! Most of those 1,000,000 people were probably just unconcerned peasants tending to crops. A Crusade in a spirit exactly opposite of Jesus!

For the better part of 2000 years, sociopathic popes, domineering priests, greedy kings and maniacal Emperors have tried to hypnotize mankind with their confused beliefs – trying to get us all to digest notions such as “creation out of nothing” and that Jesus the man will one day return – reading from confusing translations of the symbolic Hebrew original, and then going around to murder those who don’t agree with their particular brand of confused interpretation of scripture.

Some popes are, of course, not sociopaths bent on murdering those with opposing views. Pope Francis, for example, had a background in helping the poor. He was able to understand the message of the New Testament by reading it with heart instead of with hate. He certainly disagreed with pope not-so-Innocent III’s murder of up to a million Cathars. He even named himself after St. Francis of Assisi, who tried to convert rather than slaughter the Cathars. A good man. A good pope.

Some priests are, of course, not domineering control-freaks imposing their confused views on those with contrary beliefs. Salvadoran archbishop Óscar Romero, living under the U.S.-backed anti-communist military dictatorship in El Salvador, understood the New Testament intuitively when he spoke out against poverty, social injustice, assassinations and torture, and organized protests against the U.S.-backed sociopaths, even writing a letter to Jimmy Carter pleading with him to stop sending arms to these murderers.

So, there are priests and popes that understand the basic message of the New Testament and would never consider murdering others over concepts such as The Father, The Son, and the Holy Ghost. These people read the rest of the Bible, and missed the part when Jesus goes around bludgeoning people to death, no, they clearly read that Jesus went around taking care of the poor and infirm people and those cast out by society.

There is a trend, still well-alive today, whereby people will declare entire regions – entire nations to be either “Christian” or “Muslim” or “Jewish”. Countless bible-belt christians profess America to be “A Christian Nation”, to this very day, and work to impose their confused beliefs onto everybody else.

Christians who are waiting for the return of a flesh-and-blood saviour would have us spend taxdollars toward christian schools, diverted from public schools.

Atta Turk, the founder of modern Turkey, knew better by secularizing the country – demoting Islam from its position as the state-religion.

To this day, very unhealthy christian practices pervade throughout North American society and are allowed to persist with impunity:

“There was a young man in Calgary, his name was Ben. I was running a youth group, I was there for a few years. He was a nice kid but he was one of those who was always just a real smart aleck. He was a bright kid, which didn’t help things, right? It made him more dangerous.

And we were outside one day, in youth-group, and he was just trying to push my buttons, and just, kinda, not taking the Lord seriously, and I walked over to him and I went “bam!” I punched him in his chest as hard as I could – I crumpled the kid. I just crumpled him. I leaned over and I said ‘Ben, when are you going to stop playing games with God?’ I led that man to the Lord right there. There are times that that might be needed.”

Just one bad apple you say? During the Iraq War of 2003, a borne-again christian looking to bring about the Second Coming by instigating the war between Gog and Magog, with the aid of a belligerent self-proclaimed “christian-mercenary” army, went in to utterly destroy a Muslim-majority society without cause and with complete impunity, torturing people for any information. Gun-toting churchgoers, who are told to hate Muslims their whole lives, were sent in to destroy not just the current Muslim society in Iraq, but also its history – purposefully letting looters ransack the Museum in Baghdad, while heavily defending the oil ministry. They were warned months in advance that this was going to happen, even by the Pentagon’s own advisors. Even with a tank and soldiers on the scene, the Americans stood by and let it happen, just watching trucks full of artifacts roll right past them.

To this very day, there is a wide sector in North American society that would have us all forced to pray to their very confused notion of God and his Creation 6000 years ago, and of an unworkable Trinity that none can explain, and of a second-coming that we should all prepare for or be forever damned – a gross misunderstanding of the original symbolic texts.

Scientists, science-fans, and “educated” academics – scholars who profess to know best, have claimed to have beaten Religion with facts and figures and mathematics – they claim to have transcended the ridiculous notions promoted by fanatical christians and other faiths.

What has modern science done to address the core beliefs of christians – to address the fundamentalists and their views?

Instead of the Universe being created out of Nothing with all matter and energy and even Time itself coming into existence at some point, at the hand of a God with a beard sitting on his throne – a notion supported by all Priests and Popes,

Instead, we get the Universe being created out of Nothing with all matter and energy and even Time itself coming into existence at some point, at the hand of abstruse mathemagics – a theory concocted and promoted by a Priest in the early 20^th century and praised by all Popes since 1951!

Instead of the Universe coming to an End at some point, the End Times, when Dark Forces will battle those of Light, and Time will “stop”,

Instead, we get a Universe that will come to an End at some point, the End Times, when Dark Energy will win out over regular matter, freezing everything into a non-energetic dark state – no more light, and Time will “stop”!

Instead of Priests commanding the flock to not question their sermons – to take their words on faith, because you are not smart enough – you haven’t read scripture fully, and you haven’t read all the oodles of commentaries that various church fathers have written, so sit down and shut up,

Instead, we get Professors commanding students to not question things like Dark Energy, these being “overdetermined” by current “constraints” on science imposed by Relativity and Big Bang. “You can’t wriggle out of the conclusion that there is a lot of Dark Energy.” We need to take Sean Carroll’s words on faith, because we haven’t understood his mathematics – we are not smart enough to understand Relativity or Big Bang – we don’t have degrees in physics – and we haven’t read up on all of the “brilliant” papers written about Big Bang, Dark Energy and Relativity, so we must all sit down and shut up!

It can be demonstrated with ease that the universe must be infinite in extent and eternal in duration.

Basic logic and an examination of Big Bang and Relativity easily put the idea of a finite temporary universe to rest.

It can also be demonstrated that the authors of scripture understood this, and employed logic more sound than that employed by modern academia regarding the nature of the universe.

Contrary to the view of an infinite Tree of Life, what is on offer in secular classrooms is: a universe with no intelligence other than us, no intelligent life below the cell; no intelligent life above us multicellular creatures; and that even most multicellular creatures are not intelligent, and that single cells are not individually intelligent.

Modern science constrains the bottom of the universe (microcosm) by declaring unbreakable indivisible building blocks, like electrons; while constraining the top of the universe (macrocosm) by declaring galaxies and their clusters as the largest possible assembled things.

The cell – declared as the “basis of all life” is only animated by Artificial Intelligence. Only inanimate unbending automatic physics equations need be employed to understand how the cell behaves – how it makes decisions in the face of multiple pressures and signals – how it learns to navigate through obstacles, etc... Nothing below the cell is alive. In fact, it is even declared that “cells are just robots”.

A galaxy cannot possibly be alive according to mainstream thinking – people look at you sideways for even proposing this.

Nobody has proven that galaxies and their clusters are the largest assembled structures. That is an incredible constraint on science.

Nobody has proven the existence of Nothingness, either before the “birth” of the universe, or outside of its finite area (outside of our exploding universe). Nobody can even describe this Nothingness.

The theory of a finite universe is not science. It is unconvincing philosophy. How can you prove Nothingness – the main ingredient required for Big Bang? You can’t – nobody can prove that there is somewhere without anything there – that is a physical impossibility. There is no test for Nothingness. No Nothingness = No Big Bang.

Modern scientists have enthroned cellular and multicellular life on the middle slot of their flat universe – there is no life below, and no life above. We are so special to be on the only size-level which supports life – right in the middle slice of the universe! That is a very suspicious universe – a human-centric universe – nothing to see below and nothing to see above. Cells are just robots acting according to “emergent properties” of particle physics and nothing else; while galaxies are similarly just larger conglomerations of more of this same stuff bouncing around and acting and reacting according to unbending physics equations alone, in a lifeless way.

What makes much more sense is that all life is made of life, in an infinite tree. All life is animated by smaller lifeforms, therefore: life can only be created from pre-existing life-forms. The implications of this are vast – nay – infinite!

Just as cells, who are individually sentient, may get together to organise multi-cellular creatures, so too should this be possible across the entire extent of the universe, and there is absolutely no reason to assume it is limited in depth, breadth or duration.

Instead of just searching for life on other planetary surfaces, we could also search for life within the microcosm and out in the macrocosm. Modern science cannot ask these questions because of the constraints imposed on the very fabric of the universe down below and the level of organization possible at the very top of the universe. And, to suggest creatures even larger than galaxies is completely disallowed, because there wouldn’t have been enough time for those to develop.

The authors of scripture not only understood the universe better than we do, they also understood that you all would continue to crave a finite universe. They understood very well that the opening line of genesis would be translated as “In The Beginning”. If you read the text carefully, though, these geniuses were declaring an infinite universe – by detailing how new life only arises out of pre-existing lifeforms within infinite Beginnings. There are infinite beginnings happening all the time. There always was and there always will be. New lifeforms – new creatures, somewhere, are having their start right now.

The two major names for God, ALHYM (qdtaf) and YHVH (atyt), if read letter-by-letter, indicate that there was life pre-existing in creating life. All life must come from these two – that’s the point of the first few chapters of genesis. ALHYM is living beings, previously unrelated, coming together to participate/organize – form new life. Think: “Allo!” or “Ola!” or “Aloha!” or “et. al.” (“and others”) or “alliance”. YHVH is living beings already together creating new liveliness/activity/organisation.

The first chapter of Genesis details beginnings of creatures through ALHYM alone, the second and third chapters through YHVH ALHYM alone, and the 4^th chapter through YHVH alone.

It was not malicious intent to translate the first verse of Genesis into “In The Beginning”. The authors and translators understood that people during tough times or ignorant times have a hard time grasping an infinite universe – so it is translated into a fairy tale intentionally with a Beginning, Middle, and prophesized End. Much easier to comprehend. The word “The” in “In The Beginning” does not exist in the Hebrew.
