On the Principle of "Everything" akin to a Theory of Everything, Part One

A review of the Theory of Everything can be found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_everything.

In an earlier posting, a muse was tugging at my chest, beckoning the slumbering poet within and I wrote "An Eternal Present Moment."

Racing tangent thoughts rev my mind...
Today is the summation of my being,
Driven to the present by past failures and achievements,
Propelled towards a future of tomorrow's hopes...
Stricken by fear of what might not be,
Pulled back to overcome yesterday's mistakes...
Today is the summation of my being, its value eternal.
Do I dare forget to live today?

Truth be told...during that time in my life, several years ago now, I had just fallen in love, but as many times before, I was remained of what it is to truly face one's fears: we fear not what is, but what might not be.  We may fear not living while tomorrow is still today, dying while yesterday is never tomorrow with all its unspent desire, not living, not laughing, not loving, not being.

Perhaps, perchance, one may speculate or contemplate, and invitingly play the devil's advocate...

On a tangent thought, just a few days ago I met a young man who spiritually felt that simply being told "No" is a rebuke; I quoted Jude 9 to him and he retorted in anger that I was on the brink of blasphemy, but all I could tell him was ,"the Lord rebuke thee brother;" for not only did the man accuse me of eviscerating the scripture, but did so hypocritically: Jude 8 states ..."despise godly authority and insult angelic beings," it became evident that the young man lacked an understanding of a commandment in Christian theology that even the "angelic being" Satan be given respect and that even if the Archangel Mikha'el lacks authority to rebuke Satan, but must say, "the Lord rebuke thee," for only "the Lord," or "God" has authority to rebuke, then who is this young man to formulate in his head that one who tells him "No" is rebuking him...Reference Jude 8, "...despise godly authority," in other words, one who does not like being told he is wrong...BTW, Atheist, don't touch this one...I can already here retorts of circular reasoning, the oh so great Sophistry of a real devil, "all knowing, all reasoning man," a delusional concept unto itself, for the young man in question is a Christian believer, one who would be called "A Brother in Christ, By His anointing," and was discussing theology and a concept inherent to the philosophy expressed by Miyamoto Musashi in The Book of Five Rings."

This leads me to quote Musashi: "What I call the void is where nothing exists.  It is about things outside man's knowledge.  Of course the void does not exist.  By knowing what exist, you can know that which does not exist.  That is the void."  Interestingly, this void mentioned by Musashi can be likened, or viewed as akin to the aloneness GOD experiences that is hinted at by Hebrew and Muslim faiths, that on my lowly human I can only surmise as my approach at fear:

When stuck between an exhale of relief or a sigh, breathe.  Life goes on.  "Do I dare forget to live today?"

For that young man, I can only say this: The errors of our youth are God's grace by which we overcome to live a worthy life.  Sadly, too many never realize this truth while the rest seem to hold those errors against one another...and fail to keep the second half of God's greatest commandment...love one another as you love yourself.  And note, it doesn't say "friend or enemy," in fact our mutual belief should dictate we love our enemy as much as a friend.  That a moment in time exists where this was not achieved is, as Musashi attempted to explain, "a void."  A void moment where either, or both of us, failed to love one another and worse yet, love God as much as we should.
"Today is the summation of my being, Driven to the present by past failures and achievements."  Greater of a master am I, young sir, than Musashi, for I look at the void, as you stated, "perceive that not seen," from The Ultimate's perspective, not yours, nor mine...for, the pupil, Musashi, failed to perceive it this way and now I lay it out simply for you: how is the void filled? Be careful...like a blade poised to strike, this is a loaded question...and still, the unseen, the potential void lingers.  And until you can accept "No"as a heartfelt, friendly rebuttal, you have deviated far from the Way of the Warrior, long ago smothering your twofold spirit, blinding your ken and kan.   And as I said, what is it that the other believes in, well..."What you believe in often proves to be contrary to the true way, distorted as it is by tendencies to favor your own thoughts and views." Quotes from The Book of Five Rings: The Book of the Void, Miyamoto Musashi.

So, here or there, there, feel free to play devil's advocate with this idea about the universe...  Without complicated mathematics nor scientific theorems, designations of chemicals, elements, nor subatomic particles, is a "Principle of Everything," that in time will be scientifically proven...

And I begin by leaving you with a thought experiment:

Imagine your existence without the universe existing.  This is Ku (emptiness)...this is aloneness...this is wisdom.

Now imagine, that your own existence, along with every single other person's existence, out of all space-time and energy-matter can only occupy the amount of space and time, and take the amount of matter and exert the amount of energy that will ever take up your life in an amount of space, and if measured as time, the infinitesimal period at the end of this sentence.

The truth is, even that is not accurate or true...for by it's very definition, the Big Bang is a singularity: it is something that does not exist, even infinitesimally momentarily.


"Sweet disposition...reckless abandon...a moment of truth, a moment of love..."

So to the one I fell in love with that tugged on my heart like a muse...I always will...love you...and though I will fail, protect you from evil.

  1. On February 10, 2016 The following was written in an Astronomy Magazine article online:

    http://astronomy.com/magazine/2016/02/putting-einstein-to-the-test?page=2

    "In general relativity, space and time are intrinsically mixed. All objects in space-time, including you and me, have four dimensions. Each of us occupies and moves through the three dimensions of space and, simultaneously, a fourth dimension of time. That means each person’s life history is a four-dimensional object stretching from birth to death. The same principle applies to black holes."

    This addresses the first hypothetical question above.

  2. Additionally, this is also mentioned in the above article:

    "Anything passing through the event horizon exits our world forever. It’s no surprise, then, that trying to simulate the interiors of black holes in computer simulations creates problems."

    This addresses and brings the full thought to fruition of the second and first hypothetical questions above, and should bring one to ponder, "If something exits the universe forever, did it ever exist?"
