If our reasoning in regards to nature and phenomena is flawed, everything we think
about is profoundly affected, including actual scientific applications. The PC may be as
IBM predicted, a useless toy, and Bill Gates is likely a geek gone wild!
Martin Heidegger, famed Existential Philosopher of the early ninetieth century suggest,
we are mistaken, incorrect with our ontological reasoning which gives error to our
judgment 1. If Heidegger’s claim is true, our presupposing of reason may be the case of
what we think we know may not be true.
A miracle is a positive event in our lives that seems to oppose the laws of physics or the natural
order of things. Perhaps miracles are natural events outside of peripheral perception or beyond
the limits of human reasoning that gives hope in times of despair or uncertainty.
Take a moment and think of all the people who are so commonplace in your daily affairs, they
seem to be non-existent or completely invisible at times, such as a house keeper, security
guards, maintenance personnel, students, clerks, grounds people, local grocer, or even a
spouse.
At times, gender, race, and cultural groups seem to ride in a perceptual blind spot of social
recognition. There is a good chance that even people of prestigious positions such as a Mayor,
Senator, constable, banker, or your own child’s teacher go unnoticed and you may have
experienced difficulty with their names or would not recognize them at a social function.
Certainly, the people that hosted such a function, the workers, the servers, and those that
prepared the food and drink, dwell in the peripheral blind spot of social invisibility. Could it be that
there is an everyday ordinary common god, as close as the invisible nose on your face, working
miracles in your life?
I met Mary a few years back while doing research on the origin and history of the Medina Dam
Reservoir in rural South Texas, the oldest concrete reservoir developed, financed, and
engineered by a man who lost his life on the Lusitania, torpedoed by a German U-boat U-20 on 7
May 1915, an event that brought the United States into the Great World War, now known as
World War I as a matter of history repeating World War II.
The Medina Reservoir Irrigation system was expanded during the Roosevelt's New Deal era
creating 1000's of jobs for the undereducated unemployed after the Black Monday stock market
crash of 1929 into a recession so deep it is remembered as the Great Depression, the biggest
financial meltdown in the history of the United States which had an effect on the world’s economic
health for the next 40 years.
I have forgotten the Medina Reservoirs developers name engraved on a brass plate that is no
longer assessable as in days of my youth, fenced in with high barbed wired fences financed by
the 911 Patriot Act in the name of National Security by the newly formed Texas Anti-terrorism
Task Force while I was away working in China.
Little did I know the anti-terrorism task force brought back the corruption of the McCarthyism era,
1940’s-1950’s, an anti-communism domestic surveillance program developed by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation led by J Edgar Hoover, dictating We The People as enemies of the State.
Nor, as my eyes look for a way to circumvent the barrier for a photograph of the historic marker;
followed the bottom of the fence upwards over the spiraling razor wire peering into deep space,
aware of my tiny insignificance in the whole of things unaware of a satellite perched over my GPS
position. Nor, did I heed the words that Mary had said, “Somebody is Always Watching.”

"The vacuum flask [Thermos Bottle] was invented by Scottish physicist and chemist Sir James Dewar in 1892 and is sometimes referred to as a Dewar flask, or Dewar bottle,
after its inventor (Wikipedia)." I was told a story when very young, which many not be true, surrounding the story when Dewar showed his new invention to Ms. Dewar his wife
explaining the bottle kept liquid such as tea hot or ice cold lemonade cold for over 12 hours. His wife responded, "How does it know?"
This was a similar response to an IBM Representative concerning computers who visited our 5th grade elementary school properly named in 1964 "Royal Gate" Elementary
School, a gateway to the most sophisticated intelligence organization known to the world at the time.
He boasted that no one in our classroom could win ticktacktoe vs his machine that was as big as our home refrigerator. Several kids played before me, and lost and said the same
as Ms Dewar referring to the newly invented thermos, wondering about the computer, "How Does It Know?"
I won the first play and said, "It can not know!" He said that's right, machines can not and will never be able to know, because to know is to be human. Latter in life, I studied
Epistemology for a semester and wondered, why are the brightest of minds debating over human beings with the same question, "How do we know?" or most importantly when do
we know something.
What I got from the lectures and arguments is contrary to my professors interpretation. I know this because of the grade he gave me, but I didn't give it much thought to come up
with:
"We think we know a lot and probably do- a lot of thinking. To think about something is proof in itself the thinker does not know. Thinking is an animal bi-product only useful in the
binary worlds. Epistemology is the study of knowledge or knowing the Greeks coined the Logos or the KNOWN! There are many ways of knowing or other ways of knowing such
as a trans-personal way of knowing."

i. Monism is a philosophical view, or one way to understand or give meaning to the universe.
iii. Mysticism is often confused with the occult or magic. There is nothing mysterious about Mysticism or Mystics, nor do they practice occult rituals or portray themselves as magicians
ii. Monad a term meaning "unit" used variously by ancient philosophers from the Pythagoreans to Plato, Aristotle, and Plotinus to signify a variety of entities from a genus to God.

Nobody Saw it Coming ? The Series

Charles Burton poetically describes the higher planes as the “Over Soul” published in 1939 (Burton). If heaven exists, and I argue that it necessarily exists, our own
solar system must be nested within its heavenly properties. In contemporary literature, we lose this association because our language now determines these concepts
as “abstract ideas.” How can it be established that our solar systems, including Earth, spins in abstract space, an area that can only be appreciated intellectually?
Self examination of the body such as the legs, hands,and arms are commonly concluded as utilities—a means for gathering provisions or a way to get from one place
to another. Seldom do we think of bodily forms as reflections of human states such as individuality, freedom, or to grasp an idea. Human forms as well
as all objects are shaped by our own perceptions and understanding. So it is our very understanding that opens our sleepy eyes to an archetype, or why things look
the way they do.
Away and beyond the temporal planes exists an unconditional state of affairs the Hindu calls Atman. The endless vistas of Atman are inaccessible to travelers
burdened with binary baggage of the mental world. Light travelers,barring only Atman bodies or Atma(s) find it easy and most natural to zip and skip across the
endless worlds of cosmic awareness. Mortal associations no longer seem to link together logically as we step across the etheric threshold of timeless eternity. Here
now at a point in spacelessness our tiny planet and the universe in which it spins, nest. All things that come to be already exist as the mystical imagination of Cosmic
Divinity. To know Atman is to awaken into a forgotten familiarity of your own understanding.
As understanding propels us to the center of truth, we gain unfathomable momentum easily overcoming the speed of light. We quickly penetrate the etheric sheath
bursting with a big bang of uniform silent stillness; awakening to a quiet world of endless horizons stretching into the formless- purity of form. Our bare feet trod the
cool grass of a mystical garden that the Hebrew calls Eden, where Adam was formed in God’s image from moistened dust of this plane, archetype clay of simple
shapes bored by Divine Ideas.
Atman is the birth place of the atma, our own identical individualities. Set apart by experience, we know one another by way of empathy and we are seen as shining
stars sparkling about in a cosmic sea of unconditional freedom. Atman is the birthplace of Iness coined the ‘Atma” by ancient Indian Sage’s which is synonymous with
the soul body of Hebrew, Christian and Islamic faiths. When we talk about the Sanskrit term, atma, we are talking about the same soul body referred to by the majority
of religious beliefs.
