Our beloved Albert Einstein who said, "God does not play dice with the Universe"

Unknown to him, his god was his downfall. This brilliant mind had it's limitations. His god was that limitation. Because he could not see a Universe without a god, he could not see infinity.

"I am the Alpha and Omega - the Beginning and the End..." An infinite Universe has no Beginning or End and therefore, no god.

As he wrote that equation he calculated his god, into it. Had he been able to separate his god from his science, he might have found his Unification Theory.....

A1. Perhaps you were thinking, when you first came to my site that I was here to reverence Albert Einstein..... Yes and no..... Of course I think he was brilliant and is well deserving of all of my and your respect, however, he was just a man, not unlike millions of other people. His greatest attribute, in my thinking, was his Open-mindedness, but being human, that too had its limitations.....

A2. When a person accepts the things they are taught as Truth, we give over our lives to that perceived Truth. We give over to the ideas we learn, our intelligence and we give over our open mindedness and more importantly, we give over our power of self-government, our autonomy. Most importantly we give over the idea that we are gods in and of ourselves. As soon as we accept one thing as Truth, we reject anything that objects to it and hence we loose a little piece of our Open-mindedness, intelligence and power.

A3. In the great scheme of things Man's greatest limitation is his idea that he has limitations. The power of our minds is incredible but man refuses to give himself credit for having any power over his life at all. As we grow and learn, we are faced with more and more negatives and limitations to the point where those limitations kill us. Many books we read have stories of people living for more than 400 years... So, what has changed?

A4. Today with all of our medicine and science we are trying with little success, to extend our longevity. I believe the answers are hidden deep within us all, but we've given away so much power over ourselves to gods that we cannot even accept the notion that we have any power at all. Moreover, man has such a negative attitude and view of himself that his own innate abilities and power act to kill him. When one considers the idea of "mind over matter" we can see that where our power could act in our favour in healing or preventing our illnesses and disabilities, we instead, turn that power against ourselves and stop or shut down the immune system or generate cancer growth by "willing" it upon ourselves.

A5. Instead of using our power to extend our lives we use it to kill ourselves but, why do we do this? I believe its our fundamental hate for the people that we are, bestowed upon us by the religions and knowledge that we so trustingly give over our lives, health and Power to. When we give up our power to a god, we cease to have that power at our disposal for our own use. Depending on the specific religion, we condemn and curse ourselves. When we accept Christianity, for example, we are born into sin. Now that's a nice thought... If we buy that idea, we immediately accept the idea that we are fundamentally Bad and deserve to die and henceforth, from the moment we buy that idea, we work to achieve that end. And equally we reject any ideas that might oppose it.

A6. "God's will be done"......... Those are powerful words. Just what do they mean? They mean that everything in the books of the Bible, we are accepting as fact and the power to see those ideas through to their completion and conclusion. But, what is "God's will"??? God's will for every human is to accept to work together as a collective, to complete the books of the bible, to see everything through to its conclusion. So, like lemmings, we put our heads together and direct all of our collective power to that end, and god help anyone or anything that gets in the way... "God's will be done" for them too. And what is God's will for them but that they be "Broken"...................... Another pretty thought....

A7. You see, anything that rejects or resists the collective thinking is in opposition to it and must be put down... "Broken" ...be destroyed. So, if in opposition to the collective it is their god's will that you die. Thinking that we are fundamentally BAD or Sinful is one step but when that same religion tells us that we will die, then of course we will seek to fulfill that idea too. In the end we are exactly the result of what we are taught and what we believe and if all of it is negative and dysfunctional, then that is what we are. So, not only will we have a struggle within ourselves but also we will have a battle with the collective itself.

A8. Everything in this world works to limit our abilities and because we are taught to be negative and dysfunctional, we are. We could and can turn it all around but it is a difficult process.

A9. How does a person throw out everything that they are taught from childhood and take on the complete freedom that they need to take back their lives, health and power? Easier said than done. More importantly, how would one even know that they have succeeded, it being such a subjective issue? But like quitting smoking one cannot try... One must simply make up their mind and "Do"... To "try" to do anything, one has already accepted failure. One has to "Do" something or don't do anything, as trying and failing only reinforces the idea that its impossible to achieve. Moreover, a person has to be willing to accept the idea that they are "on their own" for several reasons.

A10. Firstly, each person will be accepting that in this whole universe, they are unique and alone. That's a very scary thought, as we are gregarious by nature... or so we think... That's just one more weakness that was taught to you and me. The idea that we need eachother to survive only forces one to think with the collective.

A11. Secondly, they will have to fight the mainstream thought - the collective and the power of the collective. That's very difficult as obstacles will be placed in one's path by the power of the collective and only the strong and steadfast will eventually succeed. It's not easy, swimming against the current and only a strong swimmer will get through it. I believe it can be done.

A12. I believe that every child born to this world opens his/her eyes with a 2000+ IQ and only the teaching that they receive from the moment of birth diminishes that intelligence as we grow. All of the negative ideas that are pumped into them, all of the limitations they are convinced of, erodes away all of their intelligence and their power, by way of their loosing: 1) Self-worth, 2) Self-confidence and 3) Self-actualization. In the end, a 2000+ IQ becomes an average human with a 100 IQ and an ordained member of the collective.

A13. Einstein was able to maintain some of his intelligence and with it, a degree of open-mindedness. He could see ideas that had never been seen before by another man "on record" but his god and the collective eventually shut him down. He could see some incredible things but he could not see past his god, his limitation..... In the end, he was just another man.....

B1. For example, I'll describe two of my nieces; both considered themselves of below average intelligence. Both suffered from a severe lack of self-worth, self- confidence and self- actualization. Due to issues of privacy I won't use any names but name the eldest #1 and the younger #2.

B2. About 10 years ago #1 wrote to me complaining about how she was dumb and clumsy, among other things. She would drop things, break dishes and so-forth. I wrote back to her asking what was on her mind that she couldn't concentrate on the simple things of life? Were the things that she was thinking about, far deeper than the dishes? She wrote back again with the answer that she was thinking about all sorts of things about life and who and what she was.

B3.I wrote back to her saying, "You're a genius, like your father. Welcome to the club"

B2. For some reason, that was all she needed to hear. She has since, returned to school and finished her first Degree with Distinction and is embarking on another Degree in another field and I have no doubt that she will complete that one with Distinction as well.

B3. #2 was a very different matter. She has been told by a Doctor (I'd love to rip his head off and spit down his throat), "You're of below average intelligence, so don't expect a lot out of life" Well, she took that to the bank and to heart as it had come from someone who should know.....

B4. Oneday I got a letter from her with the same sort of problem as #1 but, I knew that #2 was vastly more intelligent than she thought and I would have to choose my words very carefully.....

B5. I wrote back, "Do you think that I am intelligent?"

B6. I already knew that she would affirm that my whole family considers me to have the lion's share of the brains, so she couldn't say anything but yes, as she did.

B7. In my next letter I wrote, "If two people are put together in a room and each person has a 100 IQ, do you think that together they could solve a problem that was written for a person with a 160 IQ? Two, 100 IQ's does not make a 200 IQ. In order to understand how a 160 IQ thinks, you have to be one..."

B8. She wrote back affirming that she agreed with the idea, noting that after thinking on it for some time, there would be no synergistic affect by having two, 100 IQ's work on a problem of that magnitude. They would, of course, fail.

B9. So, I returned with this idea. "Considering how intelligent I am, would you think that you could argue a point with me?" and she replied to the negative.

B10. I wrote this, "Considering that I am a genius, inorder to argue with me, you would have to be a genius too. So, don't argue with me when I tell you that you are a genius too....."

B11. I knew that for #2 She would not take that idea sitting down and to this day, despite her never getting under 90%, she still thinks that she's dumb. That is gradually changing but now that she is in a course at the University of Alberta she's finding it more and more difficult to think of herself as stupid.

C1. Two kids with the same idea but with similar outcomes..... Not everyone has an Uncle like me, but everyone has someone in their life that can give the kids in their lives who can use some encouragement. That is where intelligence is restored.

1) Self-worth is something that tells a person that they deserve more in life than they might think they do.

2) Self-confidence is that thing that they carry into unknown territory with a view of succeeding.

3) Self-actualization is that thing that says, "I've done things like this before and succeeded, I can do it again"

C2. A person has to build all three and two cannot survive without the other..... Without all three, a person has nothing. Some people need to be shown that they have all three but being subjective, very few people can see it in themselves and need an outsider to point it out. I only dislike people who will beat the dead horse, using the lack of it for an excuse to be a failiure.....
