Why do I feel so hopeless even though everything seems to be going like a charm. As Pinker describes, peace has pretty well broken out. Personally I have plenty of work and the stock market it beginning to pick up. A series of breakthroughs seem to have put my idea that the world is divine on a sound footing. All my family appear to be well and happy, although my parents are getting very old. So what is the matter? The subconscious is up to something, but what? I cannot press it, but must wait for the denouement. Perhaps I need a holidy, but I will still be there,. Yet maybe I

am trying to motivate myself from quiet rural contemplation to some action in the wider world., to get involved after a long period of retreat. After all I do feel that the cure for depression is action, but the question is what action? Constructing the physical infrastructure of a small community no longer seems enough, and the completion of the last few jobs I have taken on cannot come too soon. Maybe it is just the process of building up courage to do something coupled to the uncertainty that I am capable of doing anything to repay the 'debt to society' that I have run up during my years of retreat.

Maybe my main problem, (emphasized by Pinker) is that everything is going to well there is nothing to get excited about. On reflection, however, the need to establish scientific theology (or at least to publicize its existence) remains and I should do something about it. 'Theological Spring' to Eureka Street.

Spacetime is the basic universal communication medium, ie the physical layer on which all other observable signals are written. Beneath this layer are the amplitudes of quantum mechanics which perform all their operations by the addition of dualistic quantities represented by complex numbers (un the assumption that multiplication i equivalent to repeated addition).

We are seeing God from the inside. From the outside (if thee were such a thing) God would look just like the ancients thought, a totally simple featureless unfathomable infinity. From the inside it is different. I will explain the difference by working through the classical Catholic exposition of God written by Thomas of Aquino in the thirteenth century CE.

Pontifical Academy of Sciences: Scientific theology.
Many things to do but much reluctance to do them and I wonder at myself, a conscious spark guided by a cosmic phenomenon over which I seem to have little control. I have learnt, however, to follow my self, and find that the results are just as good as if I try to put myself under pressure, and since all appears to be going well am happy to wait until the urge to do the next thing becomes apparent. In a sense I am learning to accept my own potentials as 'the will of god' and not force myself to go off 'half-cocked'. This is a version of Socrates 'know thyself' which might be interpreted 'follow thyself'. Jesus is reported to have said

Religions are partly about control as Claudius emphasizes. One means of control is to maintain the subjects in a juvenile condition. This may be a connection between child sexual abuse (which is a matter of control, ie rape) and the mental and physical abuse of dissidents and the prevention of free debate among theologians and other people.Graves

Politics - inertia
ideas - force
The force prevails by annihilating the status quo and creating a new state. So we use invariance with respect to complexity to make the connection between quantum field theory and the interaction of nations.
The rate of penetration of a new idea is probably related to the clarity and universality of the idea, so that it exerts a great intellectual force on those who take the trouble to understand it.
COMPLEXIFICATION DEFEATS ERROR SUPPORTS COMPLEXIFICATION
The creation theorem, the effect of the 'Cantor Force' [which creates new stationary points while leaving the underlying dynamics as pure action].
The spread of an idea depends upon its clarity.
The Universe is divine. To overcome the contrary position is a political task. The basic skill needed for human survival is the ability to be convinced by facts and observations rather than fantastic dreams.

My mind is a superposition of ideas which I observe one at a time or in various combinations.
Each step forward is accompanied by the conviction that I have got it all, followed by seeing the next gap.
Letter to Pontifical Academy
Unreasonable effectiveness revisited.
I am a fixed point. Because my lifetime is short, my fixedness is somewhat uncertain and I can change. From an intellectual point of view, the biggest change I have made is Universe ≠ God to Universe = God, where Universe and God may be construed simply as mathematical symbols, shorn of their vast cultural overlay that gives them very great momentum = inertia (action and reaction are equal and opposite, F = dp / dt. I am a fixed point in the divinity, and since from information theory we learn that the information carried by a point is equal to the entropy of the space in which the point resides, so I am an image of God.
We have to start with something they know, and in the first instance we take that to be Aquinas in the conception of the head office, which [is] where energy must be

Teillhard de Chardin popularized the term complexification. Let us assume that the rate of growth of the transfinite cardinal and ordinal numbers represents the maximum rate at which things can complexify. Then we may hypothesize that there are certain physical constraints on this formal measure of complexification, and it is these constraints (fixed points) that physicists strive to identify. One of the tools is symmetry and continuity, features imprinted on the Universe by its genetic and evolutionary nature. Christianity is a set of genes (memes). So are all the other big religions. The Universe has its own set of memes (genes) eigenfunctions, that is computable functions.
There is no space here to be rigorous, so please let me wave my hands. ,/p>
As far back as Aristotle, scientists have known that the Universe is driven by pure action. Aristotle arrived at this conclusion from his axiom that n potential can be actiualized except by an existing act.

A computer can do anything a wave function can do because all wave functions are computable functions and vice versa.
