From
time to time I am gifted by Grace with visions of hyperlogic :
Complexity which because of its paradoxical nature, often appears
mysterious, or obtuse.
And yet, in retrospect, it always seems obvious, eliciting feelings
in others of 'why did I not see that first?' In
fact, I ask myself often, 'why did I not see that sooner?', with much
the same sense of mystery. But every idea has its day with destiny.
These revelations are essentially a culmination of two vast bodies
of historical knowledge :
Religion and Science, have synthesized in my mind with hyperlogical
consequences, neatly fitting together in a way which has always been
inevitable. By programming a computer, my sense of logic has been
sharpened; by living in South Africa, my food is of the highest quality.
Especially the Kudu and Springbok biltong. Dankie vir die lekker
kos, meneer de Boer.
I am sobered by the night sky. Countless stars. Millions of planets
with someone who invented 'The
Invisibility Machine', or rather merely seen as 'an
invisibility machine', once one is humbled by the perspective
of interstellar evolution.
Someone out there was also first to discover 'Why
the sky is blue', but millions did it first, living on other planets.
And, someone also discovered how to build the most stable flying machine
of all :'The
Ornithopter'. To do so they would need to completely comprehend
the Universal
Principles of Flight. Even here, others have invented How
to Breathe the Air out of Water...
And I look to the Pleiades, and I feel that for them, its all like
: 'So what? Its all been done before.' And I look around me, and the
deafness, is silencing ...
But personally, the pursuit of Truth at all costs, a spartan lifestyle,
minimalist materialism, no TV set, nor concentration sapping motor
vehicle, plenty of fresh herbs and Tea: Earl Grey and Rooibos together
with a tasteful touch of Swazi Gold, vitamins, and the luxury of a
Futon, have increased my concentration considerably. And insight transcends
reward.
I care not for huge wealth, it would just rob my mind of RAM, as would
lawyers, patents and copyrights. Simplicity in elegance, is what makes
my mind dance.
The greatest discovery of all, was to vow to read the Christian Bibles
(Good News, King James) from beginning to end seven times before I
even considered touching a woman again. And all of this has happened
after reading it just four times! I cannot wait to see what happens
the next three times! Then, I will read the Koran, God willing.
