The following paragraph indicates where my mind was before March 27 1970.

We do not know what is the truth now. We did not know what the truth was when the primary religious books were written.

We can neither support fully nor can we remove fully the concepts that make up these thoughts that are of a religious nature. Please understand that I have not forgotten about the people that hold the ideas of religion with their endless faith. To you I say to hold your faith, but please understand the rules of unity and diversity. Each religion brings with it both unity and diversity. If you seek to focus on your diversity you follow the road to war. If you seek to find your similarities you travel down the road to peace.


There is the thought that when we became wise enough to learn that we would one day die, we begin to search for a way around the inevitable end of life.
There is also the search for an idea be it magic or any other super natural ways to explain the phenomena around us that we could not yet understand.

This is the basis of the discussion about divine intervention that makes the subject appear as nothing more than a solution for comfort and peace of mind. But in so doing it also makes possible
the ideas and concepts that have been twisted to be used for political power. They have been used to control the population toward many ends, some of these are of a good nature, some of these are no more than a method of enslavement. These concepts through out time has lead to continuous wars, oppression of peoples and general separation of mankind from a truth that could unify us. The thought of no God appears to dissolve the differences between mankind and gives us all one thing in common, LIFE. The ideas of religions are many as they are controlled by the imagination and can result in many ideas that are not based on truth. These many ideas will lead to many groups of people that are willing to fight for these ideas. If they all give up all these different ideas and accept LIFE as the truth we have in common. This will lead to a unity of mankind. As the truth is LIFE and BEING.


Logical reasoning. The value of logical reasoning as used in philosophy to be a parallel to the scientific method. However the scientific method can not always be used as a method of verification in all places. It is suggested that we use this when it is possible to do so yet to continue to complete a logical reasoning system that may be verified at points where it is possible to do so. However when it is necessary to proceed without the verification of the scientific method, we must keep the logical reasoning to be of an extremely basic nature and to be for the most part universally accepted reasoning.

This is where we must begin. I will start this thought at this point with a look at the existing laws for the determination of the existance of a force and a proposed law as applied to a being. We begin with an examination of what a being might be and what laws might govern this.


Note the similarities in the laws of a being and the laws of the existence of a force. Either of these motivational factors can be considered as the cause of an action, within the theory of determinism.

The laws of a force.................... Must be apparent...... Must be constant.


The proposed laws of being........Awareness of self.........Motivation..
