The Philosophy of
THE PRINCIPLE OF UNIVERSAL PARALLELISM
Because I want to transmit the truth and reality as I have perceived it and the only means of transmitting it, is the tool of language i.e. words therefore I have dedicated a special chapter to this subject which is included here in this philosophy of The Principle of Universal Parallelism under the title A brief analysis of human language . Because of its paramount importance I suggest to start with this chapter whose results and conclusions become highly crucial in transmitting deeper philosophical and ideological thoughts by using human language.

The three main principles of Universal Parallelism
|
|
1 - Nature is a complete harmonic unity. We name it the “Complete Reality”.
|
|
2 - This complete reality is split
into the two fundamental sub units of
positive and negative resulting in the
potential splitting of infinite sub
units each harmonizing with each
other. These sub units we name “Sub- Realities”. |
|
3 - Because of this harmony, the
harmony of any sub reality can be used to infer
and analyze the nature of other sub
realities. This we name the "Parallel Relationship".
|
The Principle of Universal Parallelism as formulated and
outlined in this site is the result of the merger of the oriental and occidental
mentality which necessarily had to emerge sooner or later at some point in the
evolution of science as the world grows into a global village. According this
principle all the laws of nature, whether physical, chemical or otherwise are
subject to the "parallel relationship". The philosophical foundation of the
parallel relationship is independent of the cause- effect relationship but at
the same time functions complimentary to it. It means that all the present
workable equations of natural laws are already based on the parallel
relationship. The parallel relationship can analyze natural phenomenon with
greater flexibility and obtain results far ahead of the conventional cause-
effect relationship and in this way guide research scientists in the proper
direction in their effort to explain nature from the cause- effect relationship
point of view.
**************************************************************************************
Before addressing the philosophy of Universal
Parallelism it is recommended and worthwhile to read this introduction and also
have a brief overview of its scientific applications. For this purpose the
first page of a scientific research paper concerning geo sciences (though it is
applicable to all scientific disciplines) and which were recently accepted at
international and national conferences on Geo Sciences outlining the
application of THE PRINCIPLE OF UNIVERSAL PARALLELISM in earthquake prediction (see reference 9 and 10) is reproduced below.
THE PRINCIPLE OF
UNIVERSAL PARALLELISM
AND ITS APPLICATION IN EARTHQUAKE PREDICTION
Siamak Zandpour
Abstract
A preliminary definition of
sub- units or sub- realities.
The first part of the principle implies
that due to this complete harmonic unity, there is no room for “accidents”;
and because accidents do not exist, therefore with the second and third part
of the principle we can know past, present, future and the nature of all
things.
Although the
definition and nature of sub- realities play an important role, but at this
juncture it is sufficient to define them as “any subject whose frequency can
be plotted on the time scale”. The harmony of the reference sub- reality can
be used to infer upon the harmony of the unknown sub- reality and in this way
accelerate the progress of understanding the nature of the unknown sub-
reality. We must have sufficient information of the reference sub- reality in
order to make inferences on the unknown sub- reality.
Introduction
At this
very beginning some of the main evidence is presented with the below given 2
figures including a brief explanation serving as an introduction. Then its
underlying principle, namely the Principle of Universal Parallelism, is
discussed along with a detailed explanation about the earthquake data and of
how the solar system harmonics are extracted including more evidence as well.
Fig.0.1

Figure 0.1 shows the yearly global major earthquake (mag.>=7.0) frequency from 1970 to 5th Dec.2005 along with the yearly component of the solar system harmonics for the same period extended up to 2020. This yearly component is just a preliminary extraction leaving plenty of scope for refinements (i.e. fine tuning). In other words, by using the solar system harmonics in their totality, then on base of the PARALLEL RELATIONSHIP, it should be possible to obtain the exact mirror image of the earthquake frequency.

Figure 1.5 shows the
yearly global major earthquake (mag.>=7.0)
frequencies from 1905 to 1965 (black
line) along with the yearly component of the solar system harmonics (red
line). This earthquake statistic was used in the 22 June 1969
conference
organized by the departments of geophysics, university of western
Ontario, London and Canada (see reference 4).

In order to ensure a good understanding of this philosophy to most readers we will emphasise the relevant points
by explaining them in different ways
using different examples. This paper should be studied in the same order as
presented.
The
ideological aspect of the Principle of Universal Parallelism is quite different
and much more sensitive and important than its practical scientific
applications which we will understand after reading this paper. Its importance
lies in the fact that the main dilemma of humanity is an ideological one. All
human miseries are rooted in ideology and Weltanschauung. In the absence of a
sound unified ideology social miseries and oppressions will continue. With all the
different ideologies (which includes modern sciences, philosophies and
religions) present nowadays, each considering itself superior to others, and
the way humanity is progressing in terms of technology, science, commerce,
living style etc. there will be no future because humanity will annihilate itself
– which is not far away - if it does not change the way of its living and
thinking. Although
different ideologies including modern sciences, various religions with all
their branches and sub branches, and different philosophies have many useful
things to say, but they also say many things which are very unclear,
incomprehensible and not logical. If these unclear points cannot be explained
in a convincing manner than the whole ideology or religion concerned will
become questionable, or to be more accurate, the interpretation of their
propagandist will become questionable. All these different ideologies and their
propagandists try to convert the masses to their ideology and enhance their
followers. Although they do it with a good intention and believe that they do a
good service to mankind and to themselves but that’s not enough. There must be
unity, brotherhood, respect for each other and absence of oppression. “That
what you like for yourself, like for others too”. This concise statement is,
and should be, the central message of any religion.
Due
to the diversity of ideologies and the absence of a sound unified ideology
acceptable to everyone, each ideological group believes that their ideology is
the real true one and superior to other believes. Therefore
this results in confrontations, wars (i.e. “holy wars”), and many inhuman
activities which mankind has seen in the past ages and also in the present age,
and which is still the main dilemma of humanity. If these ideological groups, each claiming to
own the real true light and spirituality start confronting and kill each other,
then it is natural that most people become “fed up” and take distance of
anything concerning religions. Therefore an international effort like the idea
of the “Dialogue among Civilizations” is a good plan. Of course it will be a
good plan only if its aim and result is to create a sound unified ideology
acceptable to everyone. Otherwise without this unified ideology, humanity will
reach a dead end – which is not far off – and annihilate itself.
It is the young generation whose
future is at stake. The old generation, which holds the power and controls the
world affairs has lived its life and for most of them it does not matter much
what the future will be and are quite indifferent in this regard. It is only
the young generation that can do something. They must start take action right
now if they want to survive.
That
this dead end is not far off in the future can be easily understood by having a
brief general overview of human history, especially the known and recorded
history. If we take a look at the developments of human history, starting for
example from the Stone Age up to now, we will see a certain acceleration of
developments in every aspect of human life like knowledge, art, science,
inventions, living style, etc. If we would plot these developments onto the
timescale, we would obtain a curve that correlates highly with the increase of
world population which in our age we call it the “population explosion”. Fig. 1
shows the increase of world population for 2050 years starting from year 1 A.D.
(beginning of the Christian calendar) up to the year 2000 along with
projections up to 2050 (see reference 2).
Fig.1

As we can see, in the first 1000 years the increase is
almost insignificant. Then for the next 500 years (i.e. 1000 A.D. to 1500 A.D.)
there is a slight upward movement. But the next 500 years (i.e. 1500 A.D. to
2000 A.D.) show significant developments. The speed of acceleration increases
tremendously which correlates and is reflected in developments in all spheres
of human life. 500 years ago coincides with the discovery of America, the
invention of book printing by Gutenberg, Copernicus revolutionizing concept of
the universe and our solar- system with the sun as the center and not the
earth, etc. This acceleration gained in speed with the inventions of the steam
machine, electricity, telephone, etc. Inventions played a major role in these
developments. The steam machines and their industrial applications including
locomotives, steamboats, etc.; the inventions of electricity, telephone, radio,
automobiles, airplanes, television, dynamite, etc; scientific developments in
mathematics, physics, chemistry, medicine; the splitting of the atom and its
consequences; the invention of computer and internet; and so many other
inventions and developments in all spheres of human life changed our world,
living style and Weltanschauung. Anybody with some elementary knowledge of
history, by comparing the world of 500 years ago with 200 years ago, 100 years
ago, 50 years ago, 20 years ago and today, must become aware of the incredible
speed of acceleration which changed our world. The important point is to
understand that it correlates exactly with the population explosion, and that
this acceleration is steadily gaining in speed. This speed will soon reach a
certain limit which I call the “zero
point” or “dead-end”. Since it correlates with the population explosion, we can
take the increase of world population as a reference. This also holds true
according the parallel relationship mentioned in the Principle of Universal
Parallelism. The amount of world population has a certain limit which the
planet earth with its present condition can carter for. This limit is defined
by the living space and the supply of food and water. Right now there is
shortage of food, water, energy, employment, etc.
Humanity has reached a certain limit, and if it does
not change the way of its living and thinking there will be no future for
mankind. Of course according the scientific applicability of Universal
Parallelism we can theoretically pinpoint the exact time of this limit,
including all the developments leading to this limit or “zero point”. But it
should be sufficient to know that all these developments will occur during the
next 10 to 30 years at maximum if not sooner. In regard to the time of this
limit it is interesting to point out that the ancient civilization of Maya (in
south America) who were highly advanced in Astronomy and the preparation of
calendars have mentioned the exact date of this limit which has been
investigated by scientists and Anthropologists studying the steles and
inscriptions at Mayan temple sites (see reference 7).
According our Gregorian calendar that date will be
The important point in the
above account of the Mayan calendar is not the exact date of
Many
spiritualists and different religions have similar ideas. For example the old
scriptures of the Shiite sect (one of the major Islamic sects, see reference 8) give similar accounts with great details.
They all believe in a turning point which has been called above as the
"zero point", but they also believe that although humanity will
experience a lot of sufferings, whether manmade like wars, or natural
catastrophes like earthquakes, epidemics, etc., humanity will enter after that
"zero point" into a new era which some call it the "golden 1000
years", and humanity will after that not be as before. But anyhow, before
that "golden age" humanity has to go through a lot of sufferings and
we should be prepared for it. By understanding the ideology of Universal Parallelism
properly and deeply enough one will be unmoved by these sufferings.
In regard to this
aforementioned limit it is also interesting to point out that according the
Principle of Universal Parallelism we can infer to this limit by using another
phenomena as a reference point. Here we can take for example the phenomena of
"Voyager I" as a reference base. Voyager I is an artificial human
made satellite, which for exploring our solar system, has been send into the
space in 1975. This satellite will by the end of 2003 reach the outer
boundaries our solar system i.e. the limit of the sun's influence in our solar
system. Even right now this satellite has reached its limit already and cannot
send any useful data back to earth. The important point is that with this
satellite, humanity was able, for the first time in its history, to probe
physically into the space up to its
final limit and obtain informative data. But now it has reached its final
limit. Of course it will continue with its travel into space but it will be not
useful and is like a dead object. Our nearest neighbor, the star Alpha Centauri
is so far away (about 4.3 light years) that it is just a human dream to reach
that neighbor. To make it more comprehensible, it would mean that on a small
scale model, if we place the planet earth 1 meter away from the sun, then the
above nearest neighbor star would be about 270 km away, that is 270000 times
further away. Our solar system can be compared to an “isolated” particle or a
pulsating cell in space. But for now, it is the final limit of human effort to
probe physically so deep into the space. This limit coincides according the
parallel relationship with the above-mentioned limit of humanity. The way
humanity is progressing it will certainly annihilate itself. Our whole problem
is an ideological one.
In view of the global trends in population
explosion, very high acceleration in change of ecosystem, AIDS, need for oil,
water and food, the global economic structure with its banks and monetary
systems which seem outwardly stable, but inwardly are hollow structures on
shaky foundations which may crash any moment, and many other fundamental social
and environmental problems, the present world situation is comparable to a
family sitting in their home and engaging in petty disagreements and activities
unaware of the fact that their ceiling has broken away already and will crush
them in any moment. Only a new sound and
unified ideology may prevent this not so far off Armageddon. The message and
ideology of Universal Parallelism can help to provide this united ideology and
create a new man.
***
The Philosophy of the
THE PRINCIPLE
OF UNIVERSAL PARALLELISM
The
final conclusion and aim of this ideology and the main message which should be conveyed
will be mentioned right now at the beginning of this article. After it we will
step by step give its logical explanation and try to understand it deeply.
Humans
prefer happiness and pleasure, and dislike pain and sorrow. All their
activities are aimed to obtain happiness and pleasure more than pain and
sorrow. But now at this very outset let us make one point very clear. To
experience happiness and pleasure more than its counterpart i.e. pain and
sorrow is an impossible undertaking because nature, or better “the justice of
nature”, makes us to experience both states in equal measure, whether you are a
king or a beggar, whether you are in a “paradise” or in a “hell”. This justice
is so perfect that it is not possible to experience on of the two states more
than the other. Happiness and pleasure are experienced
in order to balance out the exact proportion of pain and sorrow one has
experienced. This is the law of nature (i.e. justice of nature) in order to
establish the state of equilibrium. In other words, if you have for example
experienced 30 percent of happiness (although there is no criteria of what
constitute 30 percent of happiness, but nevertheless this example will bring
the point home), then you are bound to experience 30 percent of its counterpart,
namely sorrow and pain in order to establish the equilibrium. The following
simple example will clarify this point more:
A
man works several years in order to save money for buying an automobile, which
he desires very much. The day he acquires his automobile and thus his desire
gets fulfilled, he will feel a certain amount of satisfaction and happiness.
Now, suppose the next day his automobile gets stolen and disappears. The result
will be that he will feel frustration and sorrow exactly in the same proportion
to the amount of satisfaction and happiness he experienced when his desire got
fulfilled the day earlier.
In other words, the amount of attachment
we give to a certain object will turn to sorrow in exactly the same proportion
when we loose that object.
The
beggar looks at the king and thinks that the king experiences more happiness
then himself. And so also the king looks at the beggar and thinks that the
beggar experiences more sorrow than him. This is simply an illusion rooted in
ignorance and educational upbringing. Understanding the above mentioned facts
will transform you to a new being and give you real inner peace.
This
illusion of thinking that one can obtain pleasure and happiness more than its
counterpart i.e. sorrow and pain is the actual cause of wars, oppression,
murder, theft, etc., in short, any undesirable activity which you do not like
to happen to you. This illusion is also the cause of so many senseless
activities that mankind is engaged in and which will result in its annihilation
if it does not change the way of its living and thinking. In this regard, the
following parable of “A man digging the ground for water” is appropriate:
A
man digs the ground with great effort and much sweat in the hope to reach
water. But if he would know for certain at the very beginning that there is no
water beneath the ground he is digging, then he certainly would not exert his
power to dig the ground. Ignorance is the source of hope. If we are 100 percent
sure of something, then “hope” has no meaning. Hope becomes meaningful only if
we are not certain about something. In the above parable, the effort to dig the
ground is similar to the effort of men to obtain the pleasures of life. To know
with certainty that there is no water beneath the ground he digs refers to the
understanding that pleasure and pain are experienced in equal measures. To
abstain or loose the power for digging refers to abstain from senseless
activities that are done in the hope to obtain pleasure more than pain. What is
meant by senseless activities will become clear later on.
We
will try to present the ideological aspect as simple and logical as possible.
This ideology is a kind of “monism” as opposed to “dualism”. There is no proper
term to express the real meaning of this ideology, and the term “monism” is
maybe the closest in its meaning, and it would be more appropriate to call it
"neo monism". From the perspective of this ideology the present
meanings of monism and dualism, or rather our understanding of them, will
automatically change and will be seen under a new light. Here we will discuss
mainly matters which are known to us as “self-evident truths” and which have
been taught to us since childhood and later in schools and universities. Since
we have accepted these self-evident truths as commonsense and reality, we base
all our reasoning and inferences on these so called self-evident truths without
ever questioning their validity and investigate them more closely. Our central aim in this paper will be to prove logically
that “positive” is equal to “negative”, and that their apparent duality is
non-existent. By proving this seemingly contradictory statement we will obtain
results which are of utmost importance and consequence.
In dealing with this subject
we are in a situation quite similar to the situation when Copernicus tried to
explain a simple logical fact, i.e. that the earth is not the flat unmoving
center of the universe, but a planet circling the sun. His idea was very much
in contradiction with the very deep-rooted believes of those people some 500
years ago. As we know, the reason for that misconception was just the relative
viewpoint of the observer. I want to stress the fact that Copernicus used his
imaginative faculty to transfer his viewpoint to another position in space from
where he could explain the observational facts and data of his time and
propound his theory. Deeper understanding of the phenomenal
world has been achieved by using the imaginative faculty and simplicity in
analytical reasoning. In our analysis, we will use the same.
We will start our discussion
with a brief overview of our mathematical foundation, and this we shall do with
very simple terms so that most people may understand it. Because mathematics
holds a strong grip over our technology, science, education, thinking and
reasoning it is therefore a proper starting point. In the following section we
will discuss it in a very concise form. In the section after it we will explain
it in more detail and easier language. With the conclusions then obtained we
will discuss non mathematical subjects leading step by step to a final
conclusion and message appearing at the end of this paper.
The foundation of modern science
is based on mathematics which seems to be a solid foundation. But as we shall
see later, this foundation is in fact a very weak and shaky foundation because
it is based on a reality which is relative, and has nothing to do with the true
reality of the existence. Our aim is to understand the true reality. Because
the following simple redefinition of our mathematical foundation is of such a
great consequence that it deserves a distinct name which I call it the
“Equilibrium Theory or Relative Relativity”. This Equilibrium Theory will
investigate our present mathematical foundation more closely and show the
weakness and illusion of this seemingly all-powerful foundation, and later
redefine it from the perspective of the Equilibrium Theory. After that, we will
discuss certain matters which will help to obtain a deeper understanding of
this new ideology. In fact the Equilibrium Theory is the logical and scientific
foundation of this ideology. In the same way as the duality of positive and
negative are the two most important factors in our present-day mathematical
foundation, in the same way these two factors are the two most important
factors in the above theory and ideology.
The Equilibrium Theory or Relative Relativity
(concise explanation)
As we can judge by the existence of protagonists and antagonists among
mathematicians regarding the foundation of mathematics (i.e. those who claim
that "mathematics is a meaningless game played with meaningless
symbols" to those who claim the opposite view [see reference 1:
Encyclopedia Britannica, Foundation of Mathematics]), mathematics has no clear
foundation whatsoever.
Now the below interpretation will resolve the above external differences
and show that "paradoxes" do not exist in "reality" and
that their existence is just due to our limited relative physical perceptions
of the environment. This interpretation will serve as our basis to build the
principle of universal parallelism.
To interpret the foundation in a proper light we must analyze the subject
from its deepest root and founding stone. The founding lies in the definition
of the number "one" as opposed to its counterpart the
"zero" or "nothing". On the duality of this binary value of
1 and 0 we build the whole structure of mathematics, which in fact is the same
principle the mind uses to analyze the physical perceptions of the environment
by just deciding between the duality of "Yes" and "No".
Now if we take a closer
look at the meaning of the number "one", we will be compelled to look
at mathematics from a new point of view.
Because of the apparent
divisibility of matter this final single indivisible particle on which we could
base the existence of the number 1, is nowhere in nature to find, and our
conclusion to its existence is just due to our relative physical perception. It
is simply a creation of our mind in order to explain and justify natural
phenomenon, therefore we must consider the whole nature i.e. existence in its
totality as the "one", which would mean we have to define it as
"infinity" which therefore equals "zero", i.e. “one is
equal infinity i.e. zero”. This statement that “infinity is equal to zero” is a
logical necessity, and although it is a mathematical rule, it is the least
understood one and having the greatest consequence. This will be explained in
the next section in more detail. Now that infinity is equal to zero therefore
"1" becomes equal to zero:
1 = ∞ = 0
which means
1 = 0
Understanding this fact lies in the understanding
of the meaning of "infinity" (the most meaningful word
in our dictionary) which the more we think and meditate on it, the more we
become enlightened. The main controversy regarding the foundation of
mathematics revolves around the concept and meaning of “infinity” This
seemingly contradictory expression of 1=0 implies that "one" has the
equal right to claim to be "zero". In other words, any expression becomes real only when accompanied by its
negation. Therefore the negation of the above expression is equally true,
i.e. “One is not equal to zero”:
1 ≠ 0
Now because this expression is equally
true, therefore we can take the duality principle of "positive" and
"negative", i.e. the binary "one" and "zero" as
our founding stone to build the Principle of Universal Parallelism, but we should always be aware that its negation is equally true. This
awareness will be the central focus of this ideology.
*********
A more detailed explanation of the above
concise explanation.
The
meaning of numbers
A
very important point to understand
is the fact
that in any kind of analysis, all
the involved factors can be finally reduced to only two factors which can be called the positive factor
and the negative factor. Because
of this fact, the whole science of mathematics
can be applied
- as a computer does - by using
only two numbers
or factors, namely the one and
the zero (the binary number system ). These two numbers or factors are the
positive and the negative factors. Because the foundation of the science of
mathematics is founded on the definition of these very two factors, therefore
we center our analysis on these two factors.
Now
let us take a closer look at the number 1. What does this number 1 mean? NATURE HAS TO PROVIDE THE ANSWER, AND WE MUST LOOK FOR IT IN
OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ! In our natural
environment we can have, say 1 apple, or 1 house, or 1 atom, or 1 galaxy etc.
That which we call “one” is actually a conglomeration of many single “ones”.
And because it is a conglomeration of many single “ones”, it is divisible, and
it is divisible infinitely. You can keep on going dividing this 1 forever. In
other words, it means that you never reach the zero point or
"nothing", the same way as you can never reach or express the biggest
positive number or its negative counterpart.
contracting direction - ∞ to ... , 3 , 2 , 1 , 0 , 1
, 2 , 3 , ... to ∞ + expanding direction
An
apple you can keep on dividing until you reach particles, which are called molecules,
atoms, quarks, etc. The important point here is that you can keep on dividing
theoretically forever, or do you really believe that you can reach
theoretically the zero point or the smallest indivisible particle? From this viewpoint, we do not have the
smallest or the indivisible particle. These terms maybe useful in the
experimental physics and for those who believe only in results which
are experimentally measurable; but even these people will accept
it as a physical truth that a far off star
which is blinking to us has a backside
as well even without
been ever there or measured it physically. From the
theoretical point of view, the
quest for obtaining the
“smallest” particle is
in analogy similar to the quest of reaching the horizon
which recedes in the same amount as you approach it.
In
view of the above reasoning process we would have to define the number “one” as
the sum of infinite amount of
particles or single “ones”.
Therefore the definition of the number 1 should be:

this
implies that
(1 = 0) = ( ∞ = 0) = ( + = - )
and
this in turn implies the following seemingly contradictory statement:
(A >
B) = (A < B) = (A = B)
i.e.
(A is greater than B) and this is equal to (A is smaller than B) and this is
equal to (A is equal to B).
According
the above definition we see that zero is the same as the number 1 because the
number 1 has been defined as infinite. Now that the number 1 has become equal
to zero therefore “positive” becomes equal to “negative”. The above definition
is the central idea of the Equilibrium Theory and will be explained later with
a simpler language so as to be comprehensible to most readers.
Although the statement that
“infinity is equal to zero” is
one of the mathematical rules, but many take
it too lightly
and cannot understand the real reasoning behind it. In fact this
statement is highly important and can be comprehended with a relative simple
analogy:
For example imagine that you are the only object in the whole
universe and nothing else except you exists in this world. In this
situation you could claim to be the biggest object or the
smallest object and both statements
would be equally true because
there is nothing else besides you for comparison; or you
could as well claim to be the most beautiful person or the most ugly
person and both claims would be equally true too. In other
words you can make any claim along
with its contrary claim and both claims would have the
equal right to be true. With infinity it is the same. Since
infinity requires everything in order to be infinity, therefore there can be
nothing besides infinity. In this state, infinity can claim to be everything,
or can equally claim to be nothing or zero, because besides infinity there
exists nothing to which you could compare and measure.
Now
if the
above definition is
accepted we would obtain results which appear on the first sight very
paradox and difficult to comprehend because or thinking process, not
being properly trained, is not used to it.
For example it would mean that something (for example a 2 meter long ruler)
which we consider two times bigger than
something else (for example a 1 meter long ruler), are both in reality
equal since both have the equal right to claim to be the bigger one.
Further
explanations to help comprehending the above points:
We
as the observer of nature are used mainly to observe our surroundings in terms
of distances, like far objects or near objects or in other words the 3
dimensions of length, width and height. But actually this 3 dimensional space
can be also contracting and expanding, which if taken into consideration, will
convey a better idea of the reality of nature. In order to make this point
clear, and also to understand better the aforementioned seemingly paradox
concepts, let us consider the following example using our imaginative faculty,
and make an imaginary journey of contraction.
We
simply imagine that we make our body smaller and smaller and keep on making
ourselves continuously smaller. We would then reach a point where we could for
example go into the above ruler and stand on one of its atoms. This atom would
become in comparison to our smallness as big as the earth, depending of course
to the size of our contraction. And since we continue getting smaller and
smaller, this atom will expand in the same proportion and could become as big
as, say, a galaxy, and so forth since there is no limit in getting
theoretically smaller... Here we see that a
“small” object like , say an atom, has the capacity to hold infinite number of galaxies, or in other
words, that which we consider the “smallest” particle, has the capacity to hold
unlimited space and time. It just
depends on the size of the observer in terms of contraction and expansion.
Imagine that
people live on such a “small” particle in our ruler, and they start to
investigate their environment
in the same way as we do it nowadays on
earth. Imagine the viewpoint of those little observers. Their
astronomers would be
in a situation similar to our astronomers
nowadays, always discovering newer and
bigger objects and
distances. Their nuclear physicists
would be confronted
with a situation
similar to our nuclear
physicists on earth, always
discovering newer and
smaller particles. The time-span which those little observers would
perceive as, say, 100 billion years
would be for us just an insignificant fraction of a second.
In
the same way as we imagined the above journey of contraction, in the same way
we could make an imaginary journey of expansion. We simply imagine expanding
ourselves continuously getting bigger and bigger since there is no limit to
doing so. There would be a point where we
would reach such a huge
size, that in comparison, our
present visible universe would be just
one of the
so-called “small” particle of
another super big object. The
relative conception of
time-span would be the same as above but inverted, i.e. a time-span of say
100 billion years in our time measurement would
be for those
super big observers just an
insignificant fraction of their seconds.
In
view of the above example we could conclude that our view of the known universe
is the inside view of a "super big" particle, which could be for
example just another dust particle. The micro- cosmos is an image of the macro-
cosmos. In the same way as we have in our macro- cosmos suns, galaxies, black
holes, etc., so also in the micro- cosmos we must have suns, galaxies, black
holes, solar systems, etc. Another conclusion which we can draw from the fact
that the smallest indivisible particle does not exist in the universe is that Matter is infinitely
compressionable
Here
we understand that contraction and expansion has no limit. Now that there is
enough space to expand unlimitedly and enough space to contract unlimitedly,
therefore it makes no sense to speak about “small” and “big” as self
evident truths, and so
also with all the other concepts
which are derived from it like
“far” versus “near”, “fast” versus “slow” ,
“heavy” versus “light”, “strong” versus
“weak”, etc. There are all equal. In order to make the meaning of “equal” very
clear consider the following three claims made by three different persons:
1st person: The real size of the sun is bigger than the real size of an apple i.e. ( A > B).
2nd person:
The real size of the sun is smaller than the real size of an apple i.e. ( A < B) .
3rd person:
The real size of the sun is equal to
the real size of an apple i.e. ( A = B) .
Now
most people would think that according to “sound common sense”, the 1st person
is telling the truth and therefore the right is with him. But in reality
all the three persons are equally correct because all the three
persons have the “equal” right
to claim to tell the truth. Such is the meaning and
consequences of “positive is equal to negative”.
If we accept the conventional statement that 1+1=2, then we are obliged
to accept the whole conventional mathematics. Because we have accepted the
basic principle, then we are bound to accept all the other mathematical
statements as a necessary conclusion. Of course it may be at first difficult to
understand higher mathematics, but because we have accepted the basic
principle, then step by step we will comprehend and accept complicated higher
mathematical formulas. The same holds true with the Equilibrium Theory. If we
accept that 1=0, then we will obtain results which at first are difficult to
comprehend and appear paradoxical. But because we have accepted the basic
principle of 1=0, then step by step we will understand clearly many concepts
which at present appear as meaningless and contradictory. If we understand the
3 main principles of Universal Parallelism deeply enough and understand that
the order and harmony of the existence is so perfect that there is no room for
accidents, then many questions become easily understandable.
For example according the Equilibrium Theory, if a stone is thrown
towards a glass window and the glass breaks into pieces, the cause of the
broken glass has nothing to do with the impact of the stone on the glass. In
respect to the time scale, this event had to happen in that year, month, day,
hour, minute, second and fractions of seconds. That very stone, and not any
other stone, with all its individual properties had to be thrown in that moment
from a certain place and with a certain course, momentum and speed onto that
very window, and not any other window, and only that glass and not any other
glass had to break into certain pieces and into certain forms. Because in
respect to the time- axis the stone was thrown first and the glass broke later,
we think that the stone was the cause for the braking of the glass. But
according the Equilibrium Theory which states that positive is equal to
negative, the direction of time- flow is equal to the opposite direction of
time- flow, and therefore we could as well say that the broken glass was the
cause of the stone being thrown. In other words, cause and effect are exactly
opposite. In order to bring our reasoning to its final conclusion, we must
conclude that because positive is equal to negative, no cause or reason is
actually involved, for the “existence of cause” is equal to its opposite
statement i.e. “absence of cause”. Because our mind has accepted relative
perceptions as absolute or self- evident truths, it cleverly tries to explain
and justify the phenomenal world.
The existence of the number 1 is just a mental fiction and illusion which
we have created for ourselves in order to explain or rather justify matters and
to have a working platform so as to communicate with others. In this regard
there is nothing wrong with it. But when we think that this is an absolute
reality and do not understand its illusive nature than it becomes a problematic
and serious issue of utmost importance and consequences. After reading this
article we will understand this point better.
In the Equilibrium Theory we tried to define the number "one" and also to prove that positive is equal to negative and do not have two opposing meanings. Because the subject was treated in a very compressed manner, we will try now to explain it more detailed and clearly so as to facilitate the comprehension of its philosophy and ideology which is the final purpose of this theory and this book in general.
************
A brief analysis of human language
(relevant to deeper understanding of The Principle of Universal Parallelism)
It should be pointed out that many questions will automatically be resolved by properly understanding the purpose of this chapter and the conclusions it tries to make us to understand.
In order to understand this ideology more
deeply we must have first a closer look at the human language, because language
is the instrument and vehicle by which information is transferred. Also mental
activities like thinking and reasoning are based on concepts which are
expressed by means of language. Reasoning is basically a process in which one
concept is compared against another concept and which are stored in our memory.
All these concepts which exist in our mind i.e. memory can be expressed in
words and are the base of both our language and reasoning. Therefore it is
necessary that before we accept concepts which are conveyed to us by means of
words, i.e. language, to examine and investigate this instrument more closely.
We live in an age where language develops and expands with an ever increasing
speed. New terms and concepts are added to our vocabulary, not only for
different branches of science, but also for our ordinary daily life. But when
language is used for conveying an ideology or philosophy then in this case it
becomes a sensitive issue because here one tries to convey reality and truth by
means of words. When certain groups of people think that their ideology and
philosophy is superior and more truthful than that of others, than in such
circumstances our individual and social problems will start. As mentioned
before, ideology is the source of all our individual and social problems. The
real cause for the conflict between religions like Islam, Judaism,
Christianity, etc., and the conflict between non religious ideologies are all finally
based on ideology, and not on economy as many people claim because the
discrimination between economical problems, and the process by which we
interpret and perceive something to be as an economical problem, is a reasoning
process based finally on our ideology and the way we see and interpret the
world. Therefore unity of a sound ideology is the only answer and remedy to all
our problems, whether individual or social. Because ideology is an educational
process starting from our childhood, and language is the main instrument and
medium for conveying concepts, therefore the aspect of language becomes highly
crucial. Because this issue is so important, we should not blindly take
language as granted, and think that it is a perfect and infallible instrument
of conveying concepts and ideas. Therefore before relying ourselves on this
instrument, let us have a closer look at it.
As explained earlier, the relevant
factors in any kind of analysis can be finally divided into two groups, that
is, the positive factor and the negative factor. To comprehend this fact is
very necessary. Although I do not expect that everybody understands this fact
properly, but it should be helpful to point out that today's exact sciences are
based on these two factors. For example electronics deal with positive and
negative currents, nuclear physics is based on positive and negative particles,
mechanics is based on positive and negative forces, and so on. In short,
today's technology is based on these two factors. Even in ancient times, as
well as today, philosophies and ideologies are based on two principles i.e. the
good and the bad forces. Therefore anybody engaged in research and analysis and
wants to discover the mysteries and laws of nature, had better base his research
on these two factors so as to obtain faster results. Now in view of the above
facts I want to examine with you our human language in terms of positive and
negative factors. This investigation we will conduct in a very simple and
logical manner. Unlike the Equilibrium Theory which shows that positive and
negative are equal, here in this investigation we will use these two factors
according to their conventional meaning which means that we will consider these
two factors as if they were two different and distinct factors.
In the same way as the whole science
of mathematics is based only on two factors i.e. positive and negative (1 and
0) and all the numbers originate from zero and one, in the same way our human
language is based on positive and negative factor. These two factors consist of
the two meanings which are expressed by the two words “yes” and “no”. In the
same way as “zero” and “one” are the base and foundation of mathematics, in the
same way “yes” and “no” are the base and foundation of our language. This
“yes/no” express the opposite meanings of “positive/negative”. Therefore it is
not surprising that a computer which is an artificial mind, performs all its
activities with this “yes and no” only. The only thing a computer can do is to
decide between “yes and no”, but with this two factors it can perform many
activities: it can perform complicated calculations, it can create all the
colors and tones, it can create pictures and animations, and it can even speak
and translate one language into another language, and all these diverse
activities it does only on the base of two basic activities, namely deciding
between “yes and no”, that means between 1 and 0. Computers and mathematics
which are creations of the human mind are good research subjects and references
for understanding the way and manner our human mind works and thinks, because
the way our human mind thinks is reflected in the structure of computers and
mathematics.
In
linguistics and grammar a language is categorized into many different components
like verbs, adjectives, nouns, etc., but in our simple investigation we do not
have anything to do with them, for we are trying to find the main roots of a
language. For this purpose we will categorize all the words and expressions
into two main groups only, i.e. nouns and adjectives. Here, nouns are those
words which give a name to real objects which can be perceived by the senses
like “stone, tree, flower, sun, etc.”, or unreal objects like “dragon, angel,
daemons, etc.”; or abstract names like “capacity, communism, philosophy, etc.”
The second group which are the adjectives has not exactly the same definition
which is used in grammar and linguistics; here adjectives are those words which
convey the meaning of quality or quantity, and includes any word which gives a
meaning to nouns. In fact, all words which do not belong to the group of nouns,
should be considered as belonging to the group of adjectives. The aim of
categorizing words in this simple manner will become more clear later on.
Since our childhood we have learned
many words, that is, we have been taught that a certain word has this and that
meaning. With the passing of time, our vocabulary expanded, and the meanings
which every word had for us developed too. The world around us is full of
objects which we have given a name to. Now let us have a closer look at one of
these names. For example, the “sun” is a name (i.e. noun) which has in our mind
a certain meaning. Of what does this meaning consist? The meaning of the word
“sun” consists of adjectives like: warm, bright, round, hot, etc. When we were
still a newborn child, the object “sun” had no meaning to us, but with the
passing of time, certain adjectives combined with each other and created a
certain meaning in our mind which to this combination of adjectives we gave the
name “sun”. Remember how you take resort to adjectives when you do not know the
name of something and you try to explain it to another person. This combination
of certain adjectives which we associate with the noun “sun” expands and
develops with the passing of time because new adjectives are added to this
combination. The meaning of the word “sun” is for a scientist who studies the
sun very different then for an ordinary person or a child. Now that the name
“sun” has got a meaning, this name can be again used as an adjective like “sun
like”. In the mind of the above scientist, the meaning of the word “sun” is
formed by many of these kinds of adjectives which have been derived from names
(i.e. nouns) like “gas like” or “gaseous”, or “hydrogenous”, etc. Therefore
adjectives are more fundamental than nouns because they are the roots of the
noun or name. The important point is that these are the adjectives which give a
meaning to a noun and therefore we must concentrate our investigation on the
adjectives in order to find the main root of our language.
Adjectives and
Fundamental Adjectives
Adjectives
are words which convey a quality or quantity like: big and small, heavy and light,
fast and slow, red, blue, triangular, four, five, etc. Some of the above mentioned adjectives are
fundamental adjectives because they have a clear opposite or antonym like “big/
small”, “fast/ slow”, “heavy/ light”. These fundamental adjectives would not
have any meaning without their opposite or antonym. For example “big” would
have no meaning without “small”, or “fast” without “slow”, or “beautiful”
without “ugly”, etc. Here we can see that the fundamental adjectives can be
divided into a positive and negative group. Because we will later see that all
adjectives are based on the fundamental adjectives, it would be better if we
now try to find the root of these fundamental adjectives.
The
best way and most reliable guidance for finding the above mentioned root is to
observe the growth and language development of a child. The younger a child is
the more fundamental will be the adjectives used by the child. Therefore, the
root of all the adjectives is contained in the two meanings expressed by the words
“yes” and “no” because the newborn child, with his voice or cry, conveys to us
if he agrees or if he disagrees. Of course the child himself is at that stage
and age not conscious about the meanings of his behavior which is just a
physical reaction, but the mother clearly understands the signals conveyed by
the child. At that initial stage the child can express only his agreement which
is equal to “yes” or his disagreement i.e.” no”. After this initial stage, by
means of becoming conditioned through his parents, society and environment he
acquires a language. This point might be interesting that at the time of birth,
his first cry, although it has the function of activating his respiratory
organs, appears to convey the signal or the meaning of disagreement.
Later
on, this “yes” and “no” develops into the fundamental adjectives like “be” and
“be not”, “presence” and “absence”, or “desirable” and “undesirable”, etc.
which are all derivatives of “yes/no”. In other words, all our information, or
better all the stimulations which we perceive by the means of our five senses
are experienced as either the presence or the absence of stimulation, and with
the passing of time, these experiences create the fundamental adjectives like:
“loud/ quiet”, “dark/ bright”, "pain/ pleasure”, “little/ much”, etc.
Therefore the root of all the fundamental adjectives are the two meanings
contained in the two words of “yes/ no”.
Adjectives
which do not have any clear opposite or antonym are no fundamental adjectives.
Some of them are for example the names of numbers, shapes, colors,
measurements, etc. like “five”, “circular”, “red”, “half”, etc. These non
fundamental adjectives require the fundamental adjectives in order to have a
meaning. To understand this fact it is necessary to know that between any
opposites i.e. fundamental adjectives, that is positive and negative, are many
stages or degrees whose average we call neutral and which represents the middle
or medium. For example between “future/ past” which are two fundamental
adjectives, there is also a “present” which represents the mid- point of these
two extremes. In fact these two extremes which are representatives of positive
and negative must necessarily have in between them many stages and degrees. For
example, “full” and “empty” are two fundamental adjectives because one is the
opposite or antonym of the other, and therefore they define two extremes which
have many intermediate stages; a glass can be full or empty, or
"three-quarter" full, "one-quarter" full, etc. which are
all adjectives because they convey the meaning of a quantity, but “full/ empty”
are fundamental adjectives. The above example shows how these ordinary
adjectives require the existence of the fundamental adjectives in order to have
a meaning.
In the
case of colors, only black and white are fundamental adjectives. Because of day
and night, the color black is related to the absence of light (night), and the
color white is related to the presence of light (day). Here the important point
is only the existence of the opposite which conveys a meaning. The following
example will clarify this point more: Imagine that you live in a world where
everything has the color red. In this condition the color red has no meaning
for us because there is no any other color to compare with. But if suddenly
another color would appear in this red world, then immediately we would become
aware of the red color and it would have a meaning because there exists
something which is not like itself red, i.e. “non- red”, and this other color
will attain the status of the opposite or antonym. If we look more carefully at
this easily understandable example, we will see that the main point of this
example is not the red color in itself, because we could have used any other
color. The main point is found in the word “none” (i.e. “not”) because it is a
fundamental adjective related to the meaning of “to be and to be not” or
“presence and absence”, and without the opposite there would be no meaning. Or
for example, "happiness" versus "sorrow" are fundamental
adjectives because they have two clear opposite meanings. Now imagine that you
would be in a state a continuous happiness. In that case happiness would have
no meaning to you and you would be not aware of it because its opposite i.e. sorrow
must be experienced in order for happiness to have a meaning. Or conversely, if
you would be in a state of continuous sorrow, then in this case too, sorrow
would have no meaning and you would be not aware of it because its opposite or
antonym is needed.
When we
were still a child, the name "sun" had no meaning for us. The very
first meaning about the sun which got recorded into our memory was that the sun
is bright and has light. At that time the brightness of the sun was the only meaning
which mattered. "Bright" or "light" have the opposite
meaning of "dark". Maybe at that time we called the sun just
"light". In fact we still had not learned the word "sun",
and we maybe just produced some sounds which had the meaning of
"bright". Later on we learned to call it the "sun", whose
main meaning was the fundamental adjective "bright". With the passing
of time, more adjectives become included and the meaning of the sun grew and
developed in our mind. For example we knew that we cannot look straight into
the sun because our eyes could not bear the pain. Then we knew that the sun is
sometimes present and sometimes absent i.e. that it comes and goes. Also we
knew that the sun is round, warm, etc. and in this way the meaning of the
"sun" was in a state of continuous development and growth.
Of course when we were a child, the
meaning of the word "bright", in the case of the sun, had not the
same meaning which it has for us today. Today we make a difference between
"bright" and, for example, "burning", but in our childhood
we made no difference between these two meanings. For us the sun was something
which we could not stare at it because it had a burning sensation for our eyes.
At that beginning stage of our life, we expressed all the properties of the sun
with one single word. The important point here is the alternate presence and
absence of that property because if that property (i.e. light) would be always
present, then we would never become aware of its presence. It is only due to
the absence of presence that that we become aware of its presence and its
presence becomes meaningful. In our childhood the adjective "bright"
had the position of a name (i.e. noun) and there was no any difference between
adjective and noun. But with the passing of time and growing older, these two
become separated and the name "sun" acquired one meaning, and the
adjective "bright" acquired another meaning. For example, a lamp can
be bright but is not a sun. Here the word "bright" can have a meaning
independent of the word sun, but the meaning of the word "sun" cannot
be easily separated from the meaning of the word "bright".
Nevertheless, the sun is the cause for the existence of the word
"bright" because the sun is the main source of light; and our mind,
by means of the eyes and memory and the alternate presence and absence of the
stimulus light, becomes aware of this stimulus. The experience of this stimulus
is then expressed with the words "dark" and "bright". In
fact, (using the computer as analogy) the name "sun" is a directory
in our mind in which all the files containing information about the sun are
recorded. By summarizing all the aforementioned explanations we can see that
the root of a name (i.e. noun) is the adjectives, or in other words, the
adjectives are the main factors for a name to acquire a meaning. Also we have
seen that the adjectives have their root in the fundamental adjectives whose
two main roots are the positive and negative factors contained in the two words
"yes/ no".

In the above examples, it is not
important for our present purpose which adjective belongs to the positive or the
negative group. That what is of importance is the polarity i.e. the clear
opposite meanings of each of these fundamental adjectives. If we contemplate a
bit more on the meanings of these fundamental adjectives we will see that they
are all related to the fundamental meaning (main root) of "be" and
"be not", or "yes/ no". Fundamental adjectives determine
and define two extremes. Now we can create countless expressions which are all
based and related to these two extremes. For example, "heavy" and
"light" are two fundamental adjectives which define two extremes, and
between these two extremes we have for example the expression
"equilibrium" (i.e. equal weight), or any kind of metric units for
measurement like "gram", "kilogram", etc. or between
"fast/ slow" there are many expressions and units of measurement. Or
between "cold/ hot", or "long/ short" we have the
expressions of centigrade, Fahrenheit, meter, kilometer, and so on which all
cannot exist independently and require the fundamental adjectives in order to
have meaning. Therefore the roots of all these kinds of expressions are the
fundamental adjectives.
In case of colors, one can consider
black and white as fundamental adjectives because they have two clear opposite
meanings and are related to the presence or the absence of light. Black and
white define the two extremes on whose base, all the other colors acquire a
meaning. In case of the numbers we have seen earlier that according to
mathematical logics, only the number "1" and "0" which have
the meaning of "be" and "be not", are fundamental
adjectives, and all the other numbers are just derivatives.
In respect to verbs (as mentioned before, in this simple analysis we use two groups of words only, i.e. the nouns and the adjectives. Any word belonging not to the group of nouns should be considered as belonging to the group of adjectives) like "to cut", "to swim", "to speak", etc. they are all no fundamental adjectives because they do not have a clear opposite or antonym. Of course we could create their opposite meaning by means of negation i.e. by using the word "not' and their synonyms, like "not to cut", "not to swim", "not to speak", etc., but in this case the main factor would be the word "not" i.e. "no" which is the main root of the fundamental adjectives. Of course there are some verbs which have a clear opposite or antonym like "to loose/ to find", "to build/ to destroy", etc. As we can see, our method of analyzing words and human language is based only on two factors i.e. the positive and negative factor. In this method we do not need the categorizations used in grammar and linguistics. To discuss whether a word is a conjunction, preposition, verb, adverb, etc. is for us of no importance because they are all rooted in the fundamental adjectives. Words which are used in questions like "why, where, who, when, etc." are all non fundamental because they appear very late in the vocabulary of a child.
This above brief analysis on the root of
human language given above should be sufficient in order to understand that the
root of our language are the adjectives, and the root of the adjectives are the
fundamental adjectives, and the root of the fundamental adjectives are two
meanings contained in the words of “yes” and “no”. In other words, the two
opposite meanings of the words “yes/ no” are the main roots of our language
like the whole structure of mathematics or the function of a computer which is
based on the two numbers (binary) of “1” and “0” and which are synonymous to “yes/ no”,
i.e. positive and negative. This is the real meaning of the term “dualism”
which has since ancient times engaged the mind of philosophers dividing the
existence into the positive and negative principle (i.e. good and bad), and on
which our present day science, technology and way of thinking are based too.
Opposite to dualism was always the term “monism” which believes in only one
principle and not two. But from the viewpoint of Universal Parallelism we will
see both from a new and "higher" perspective.
Now with this new viewpoint on the nature of our human language we will
now return to the Weltanschauung and philosophy of the
“Equilibrium Theory”. As
we have seen earlier, according to the Equilibrium Theory these two opposing
meanings of positive and negative do in reality not exist – because positive is
equal to negative. These two opposing meanings exist in our mind only and are
the result of our limited relative perception of our environment, the alternate
presence and absence of stimulus, and the way we interpret these perceptions
which is finally a matter of ideology. This is the central point of our
problem, and the following discussions will clarify this more.
For example, an observer who stands on
the planet earth will see that the sun moves round the earth whereas in
“reality” it is not the sun but the earth which moves round the sun. It is
correct that the observer experiences this phenomenon in the opposite way, but
it would not be correct if he presumes that his experience is the final truth
and anybody who thinks otherwise must be wrong or insane. Today we got used to
the idea that the above observer’s experience is a relative truth and not an
absolute or self- evident truth, but in ancient times this was an absolute
truth, so also with the meanings of “above” and “below”. The sky had the
meaning of “above”, and the earth had the meaning of “below”, and these were
absolute truths. But if we investigate these truths more closely we will see
that that part of the sky which is now above our head will be 12 hours later –
due to the 24 hour rotation of the earth around its axis – be below our feet
(of course this applies only for an observer who stands near the equatorial
region and not the polar region). It was difficult for the ancients to imagine
that the earth is spherical and not flat because they thought that if the earth
is spherical, than anything below the earth must fall down; for those people
the meaning of “above or up” and “below or down” had an absolute true meaning.
Today we know that these concepts are no more self- evident truths but
relative.
The above examples try to show that
how with the passing of time, meanings and concepts of ideas change, and
something which is true today, will become known as wrong or relative tomorrow.
We should learn from the past. Today we think that our knowledge is much more
advanced than compared to the ancients, and that for example, we have correct
understanding on the meanings of “above” and “below”, and that we know that it
is the earth which moves round the sun. But here too, we should be careful
not to be like the ancients and think that our present knowledge and
perceptions are final truths and that except progress of knowledge and
understanding of reality any fundamental change will not occur. If for example,
somebody would tell you today that it is the sun which in reality moves around
the earth and not the other way round, then your reaction would be similar to
the reactions of the ancients and you would not believe it because for you it is
an absolute truth that it is the earth which moves round the sun. But according
the “Equilibrium Theory”, all our present concepts will change again. Today
there are so many concepts, ideas and believes which we consider as absolute or
self- evident truths but which in reality, are simply relative, myths and
fables of which we are not aware.
According the Equilibrium Theory we
have seen that if an observer compares two rules of which one ruler is 1 meter
long and the other one is 2 meters long, he will see that one ruler is two times
longer than the other ruler, and this perception he will consider as an
absolute truth or self- evident reality. It would be difficult for him to
imagine that in reality both rulers are equally long. But according the above
theory, his perception has nothing to do with reality because his perception is
based on his imperfect senses as well as on his position as an observer in
terms of contraction and expansion, i.e. on his smallness or bigness, that is,
on his size. It is correct that he perceives the 2 meter long ruler as twice as
long as the 1 meter ruler, but it will be not correct to consider this as an
absolute reality because both objects have equal capacity and contain in
themselves, infinite space and time. In other words, it means that both rulers
contain infinite amount of places from where the observer can observe his
surroundings, and this fact is only dependent on the size (i.e. smallness or
bigness) of the observer. Of course one could almost argue that the observer on
his infinite journey of contraction will always perceive these two rulers as
one being twice as long as the other, and therefore “long” and “short” have
absolute or self- evident meanings. But here we should remember that the words
“short/ long” are fundamental adjectives, also it should be taken into
consideration that the observer’s infinite journey of contraction has no limit – if such a
limit or end would exist then such an
argument would be valid. In view of the above facts,
both rulers obtain equal status. Here only contraction and expansion are of
importance. For example, if the observer expands himself to the size of the
solar-system then he would see the planets circling the sun, and if he would
contract himself to the size of one trillionth of an electron then he would
observe some other kind of systems. But why should we consider certain
numerical expressible sizes only?
Instead we could imagine contracting our self infinitely smaller than an
atom and such an imagination would in no way be far from the truth. Only
contraction and expansion matters, and if we contemplate a bit deeper on these
two concepts – like our imaginary journey of contraction and expansion
mentioned earlier – than we can easily understand that these two concepts have
no real meaning, because there is no limit
therefore it is impossible to determine which direction is contraction
and which one is expansion. It is at this point that that expansion becomes
equal to its opposite or antonym and both become one and the same. Here the two
opposing meanings of contraction and expansion disappear because they have
neutralized each other, or you could as well say
positive has become equal to negative.
If an observer would stand on such an
infinite small particle belonging, for example, to a grain of sand and would start
investigating his environment, he would certainly think that his universe is
very big, having uncountable galaxies, and maybe he would never realize the
fact that his known universe is just a small particle of a grain of sand which
is somewhere on a particle called “the planet earth “, maybe lying on the bed
of a river, and this planet earth is circling around another particle “which we
call our sun” which itself is circling around the center of another particle
(galaxy) which we call the “milky way” and which itself is moving (i.e.
circling) in some direction (around a another central point), and so on. If we
look at our night sky with all their beautiful stars, we certainly think how
immense this universe is. But the stars which we see are just the particles of
another super big particle (“who knows, maybe belonging just to a super big dust or
light- particle?”); remember our imaginary journey of contraction! That what
exist in the world of “macro”, repeats itself in the world of “micro”. In other
words our present known universe which we consider as unimaginative big is
itself just a particle of another super- big particle.
In the previous sections we tried to show that the meanings and concepts which exist in our language are based on the two opposing factors of positive and negative. But now our endeavor is to show that these two opposing factors do in reality not exist and therefore our human language is an imperfect instrument for transmitting real truth. Because if we try to transmit the true reality by words it would appear to an ordinary mind as contradictory and paradox; for example if I would make the statement that the “sun” exists, it would be an acceptable statement for any ordinary person. Although this statement is “true” but it does not convey the true reality to the ordinary person and is deficient. In order to convey the true reality, the above statement must be, according to the “Equilibrium Theory”, accompanied by its negation or the opposite statement i.e. “the sun does not exist”. This apparently contradictory statement is similar to as having said nothing, i.e. silence, because they neutralized each other.
Up to now we have examined several of
these opposing concepts (i.e. fundamental adjectives) like “contraction/
expansion”, “big/ small”, “long/ short”, etc., and we have seen that these
opposing concepts do not exit in reality; therefore we can conclude that this
will hold true for all the other fundamental adjectives as well. We could start
now examining each fundamental adjective separately and arrive logically at the
conclusion that they are equal to their antonym and do not have a true absolute
meaning. Such a separate discussion would be very time consuming and endless. But such a separate examination of all the fundamental
adjectives is not needed because if the root of all the fundamental adjectives
looses his opposing meanings (i.e. polarity) then all the other fundamental
adjectives which are derivatives of this root (i.e. “yes/ no”) will by
neutralizing each other loose their
opposing meanings too, and thus become equal, or one.
Now if I would attempt to transmit my real thoughts by words then I would have to negate simultaneously each and every statement I make. Such a writing would certainly appear as something totally absurd, and the reader would think that what is the use of reading it at all because it does not transmit anything but nonsense which in its final analysis would be equal to silence. In fact the true message and reality is hidden in this apparently nonsense or silence.
To give an example, below I will negate the general meaning of each statement of the above paragraph which will look something like the below statements written in blue color :
Now if I would attempt to transmit my real thoughts by words

except nonsense which in its final analysis would be not equal to silence.
In fact the true message and reality is hidden in this nonsense or silence.
In fact the true message and reality is not hidden in this nonsense or silence .
As you see, these writings appear absurd and without any meaning but that's how reality will appear in its final analysis when trying to transmit it by words. We just should be simply aware that the negation of any statement has the equal right to be true, however it may appear absurd to our present conditioned mentality. We should be always aware that any statement is only true when accompanied by its negation. In one way, this awareness of keeping intellectually the balance between the duality of positive and negative is a highly dynamic thinking process which by reflecting and meditating more on it will become a natural part of our mental outlook and free our mind of all its conditioning. It is a kind of neutralization process by which our present mental outlook that is based on dualism and is a kind of a deep dream and illusion in which we are absorbed, becomes eradicated and will result in the kind of neo- monism which we had naturally when we were still a new born child and internally completely free of any wants and sufferings.
End of the section "A brief analysis of human language ".
***
It is not the world which is build on
two opposing principles (i.e. positive/ negative), it is only our mind which
interprets the phenomenal world as being build on two opposing principles. The
reason of why our mind acts in this way is that our mind can perceive only two
possible modes which consist of the presence or absence of stimulus. In other
words, it means that our mind is either aware of the presence of stimulus which
are perceived by our five senses, or our mind is aware of the absence of
stimulus. Our mind’s awareness of these two possible modes results in the
creation of the fundamental adjectives. This is also the reason of why all the
relevant factors in any kind of analysis can be finally reduced and divided
into two groups i.e. the positive and negative factors. This is also the reason
why mathematics is based on only two main pillars (i.e. 1 and 0), and the same
is reflected in the way a computer functions.
The ability of our senses is highly
limited, and all our information is relative, but we use these relative
information as a true foundation for all our reasoning and inferences, and
according to the conditions of our environment we acquire a certain philosophy
and Weltanschauung. But the human mind which is the center of processing these
information and perceptions has the ability to become aware of the relative
nature of this information, and finally reach that Weltanschauung which he had
when he was an infant (i.e. the kind of “monism” mentioned earlier). Of course
an infant has no Weltanschauung yet because his mind and memory is clear and
has not reached that stage of development needed to make use of his memory.
Exactly due to this very reason the infant is in a natural way in a state which
is the final aim we try to reach as an adult by means of our intellect. We as
adults have lost that state due to wrong upbringing and education, and are
deeply absorbed in a kind of daydream full of self-evident facts and truths
trying to explain and justify the phenomenal world. But we can regain that
state by means of pure logic and intellect; of course there are other means too
in order to attain that aim. Few of them are for example the true central aim
of religions which are in general lost nowadays behind the external or
peripheral aspects of religious rituals; or by the means of yoga, meditation,
etc.
Because we speak much about the five senses, few fundamental facts about
these senses should be understood.
The senses of all living beings are with some variations adapted to the
service of the most important organ, namely the genitals, whose function and
mission is to procreate. In order to keep this most important organ active and
to protect it, all the other organs and senses do their specific functions. To
keep the genitals alive and working, the stomach has to provide the energy. In
order to supply the input i.e. food for the stomach or the digestive organs,
all the other organs and senses have their specific duties. The main function
of all the other organs and the senses is to look out for the opposite sex,
food and protect the body. The function of the legs and the hands is to
approach the opposite sex and to collect foodstuff. Similarly the function of
the senses, that is, the eyes, nose, ear, taste and touch is to sense out the
opposite sex, find food and protect the genitals. In short, all the organs and
senses are the inferior servants of the genitals. That is the reason why the
issue of the opposite sex is the most important issue in any bodies live, the
society, religions and so forth. One does not need to study psychology in order
to understand this rather obvious fact. Anybody who does some self analysis and
contemplates a bit more on this point, will easily understand this. It is not
degenerating to consider human beings as “walking genitals”, it is a simple
reality which, with some variations, holds true for all living beings. That
humans consider themselves as superior to other living beings is a
misconception which has its roots in the definition of the two concepts of
“superior” and its counterpart “inferior”. In the following sections of this
article this point will become more clear to the readers.
For example if we see an object which
is green colored and square shaped, then our “common sense” will interpret this
fact as true and self- evident. We perceive this color as green because the
nature and constitution of our human eye has this particular ability. There are
many other living beings that may not see this object as green. So also the
square form of this object; it is due to the particular ability of our human
eye that we perceive this object as square shaped. Our human eye can perceive
only a very insignificant amount of an object’s properties. For example there
are many other kinds of properties, like the emissions of rays (of which
certainly many are still unknown), which our eye cannot perceive.
Our sense of touch is similarly
limited. If we perceive by the sense of our touch an object as square shaped,
it is due to the particular ability of this sense of touch which is very
limited. In the same way as our eyes can perceive only a small part of the
spectrum, in the same way our sense of touch can perceive only a very
insignificant amount of an object’s property. All the properties of an object
do not consist of what our senses perceive. There are many radiations for
example which are imperceptible to our sense, but the human mind has the
ability to compensate these limitations. For example, in modern physics there
are many methods by which imperceptible radiations can be transformed in such a
manner so as to be perceptible to our sense.
In view of the fact that particles are
infinitely divisible, one must assume that the particles which make up an
object, must be present everywhere and have a direct relation to that object.
It would mean that an object has extensions which due to our limited
perceptions are imperceptible to our sense, but are perceivable by means of
inference. In other words, it means that an object is not only infinite in the
direction of contraction, but also in the direction of expansion. That part of
an object which is perceptible to our senses is in fact a very insignificant
part. To imagine that an object is infinite in the direction of contraction is
not very difficult, but to imagine that an object has an extension which is
infinite too is seemingly much more difficult because that part is
imperceptible to our senses. To a certain extent it can be compared with the
clouds because the particles which form a cloud exist everywhere in the earth’s
atmosphere and could be considered as the cloud’s extensions, and the reason
that we can see a cloud is only because at certain places these particles are
more densely distributed. Actually in the universe there exists no empty space,
and it is only due to our limited perception that we perceive some places as
empty. Here we can see again how the opposite meanings of the fundamental
adjectives “full/ empty” or “to be/ to be not” loose their opposing meanings
because if the whole space were to be
full then the concepts of “full/ empty” would have no meaning because there
would be no empty space which could be taken for comparison. We could as well
claim that the whole space is empty which would be equally true. These are
relative concepts which have a meaning only to our imperfect perceptions, but
according to the “Equilibrium Theory or Relative Relativity”, both are one and
the same, or in other words, positive is equal to negative.
We all know that the form of an object
is inconstant and always in a state of change. It is only the speed of change
which differs for different objects. For example the mountains change their
form very slowly, but the clouds change their forms very fast. Here we are
talking about “speed” which, like “space”, is inseparable from “time”, because
speed can be defined only in terms of time. But according the Equilibrium
Theory we have seen that contraction and expansion – which are also inseparable
from time – are equal i.e. one and the same. In other words, the smallest time
unit is equal to the greatest time unit, and this will mean that a time span
equal to infinity, is equal to zero. Therefore the concept of time will
automatically acquire a different meaning and will result in ideas which are
seemingly difficult to be comprehended. For example, in reality objects do not
change their form, which means that nothing comes into existence and nothing
looses its existence, nothing gets born and nothing becomes old and nothing
dies. In other words, we are always existing “i.e. not existing” (because its
negation has the equal right to be truth). An object has no beginning and no
end. It is only to our imperfect and relative perception that we see an object
as having a certain form and color, and consider one object to be different
from other objects. If our information about an object were complete then we
would know everything, and we would have full knowledge of about the past,
present and future of the whole existence because that object is not different
from the whole existence. In this case, since we would have knowledge of
everything, our knowledge would be equal to zero, or equal to knowing nothing,
and this would be equal to the consciousness of an infant. This is exactly the
same message which is expressed by the statement “zero is equal to infinity”.
A scientist who is doing research work
and finally invents for example the telephone, does not mean that he is the
cause for the invention of the telephone. The telephone had to appear at that
point of history, and the scientist had to do all the activities needed for the
invention of the telephone. In fact, the mental activities of this scientist
had nothing to do with the invention of the telephone because every thought and
every decision which occurred in the scientist’s mind had to occur at that
particular moment of history. Because the activities of the mind are faster
than the physical activities of the body, it appears as if the mind is making
decisions which are executed by the body. All the thoughts and decisions which
occur in the mind are due to the least resistance on the path of the currents
of thoughts and not due to the “free will” of the scientist. It is comparable
to the current of a river which follows a certain course determined by the
least resistance on its path. The water flows in that direction which has the
least resistance, and similarly, our thoughts flow in that direction which has
the least resistance. In fact the scientist is just trying to justify with his
knowledge the phenomenal world. According the Principle of Universal
Parallelism our body thinks, makes decisions, feels, exerts will power, and
acts according a predefined program which is computable and predictable. The
scientist, like everybody else is just an observer who has mistakenly
associated his real identity with the physical and mental activities of his
body and thinks that he is the performer. The only thing our mind does is to
justify the phenomenal world. Some are of the opinion that the mind does
nothing else except creating fantasies and fictions. A small poem given by the
great Iranian poet Omar Khayyam goes like this:
The Revelations of Devout and Learn'd
Who rose before us, and as Prophets burn'd,
Are all but Stories, which, awoke from Sleep,
They told their fellows, and to Sleep return'd.
It is a pitiful situation that
man is not aware of his real identity and because of relative truths which he
considers as true reality, he lives in a world full of imaginary fears and
problems. It would be much better if mankind become aware of their real identity and understand that they are not a
“performer” but simply an “observer”. According the Equilibrium Theory there is
no difference between the performer and observer, or between
"passive" and "active" because of the absence of duality
both are in reality one and the same. But here I put special emphasis on the
"observer" because most people consider themselves as
"performer". For this reason the side of the observer is being taken
in order to help understand that the opposite has equal right, and to
facilitate the underlying philosophy and ideology of the Equilibrium Theory.
This ideology and its logic does not allow our intellect to rely on only one
side of this two extremes because it is always aware that both extremes (i.e.
positive and negative) have equal right and are one and the same. It does not
mean that the above ideology which is a kind of "neo- monism" is
better than its opposite i.e. dualism. The ideology of the Equilibrium Theory
or neo- monism is an ideology which a dynamic and sharp intellect will impose
upon the individual. In the ideology of dualism which makes an absolute
distinction between positive and negative, we know happiness because we have
experienced pain, and vice versa. These two extremes are complementary to each
other and the degree of happiness is always in the proportion as pain, and vice
versa. In order to achieve an equilibrium or balance, these two extremes must
be experienced which means that happiness has to be experienced in order to
balance out the exact proportion of sorrow which has been experienced, and vice
versa. Because the experience of these two extremes is only to create
equilibrium, therefore it is impossible that one can experience one of these
two extremes more than the other. In other words, however much we try to obtain
happiness more than its counterpart pain, this will be a vain attempt because
both extremes he must experience in the same proportion.
Now somebody who is anchored in the
ideology of the Equilibrium Theory or "neo- monism", will in regard
to the experience of happiness and pain not differ from a person who is
anchored in the ideology of dualism because in neo- monism he is in the center
of his consciousness always in the state of equilibrium. Because the experience
of happiness and pain is interpreted by the intellect and memory, therefore
from the viewpoint of neo- monism both experiences have no real meaning and are
one and the same (similar to the conscious state of an infant), it is only from
the viewpoint of dualism that these two opposite extremes have a clear separate
meaning. In neo- monism, happiness and pain have the same meaning which they
have for an infant. Because for the infant, happiness and pain have no meaning
therefore the infant is in the center of his consciousness not affected by
them. In other words, happiness and pain are dependent on the body and mind,
and because the infant has not associated himself with his body and mind yet,
the core of his consciousness is in a state which is far away from the physical
activities of the body as if the physical condition of his body has nothing to
do with himself.
The reason why I always refer to an
infant is that the Weltanschauung of the infant is equal to zero, i.e. it has
no Weltanschauung at all. And as we have seen earlier, zero is equal to
infinity, and this means that the more our knowledge increases, the closer it
will come to zero or nothing. If one were supposed to know each and every thing
and be aware of the past, present and future of the whole existence, in short,
to be omniscient, then this state would be exactly equal to zero or to knowing nothing, because if we
would know everything then there would be no unknowable which could be taken
for comparison so that its opposite, i.e. knowledge, becomes meaningful.
If we can comprehend the message of
the Equilibrium Theory deeply, which means to become anchored in the ideology
of neo- monism, then we will have a real freedom from want, and the best
example of this condition is the infant’s state of consciousness. Although a
child has the physical need for food, air, proper temperature, etc. but in the
central core of his consciousness he is completely free and independent from
these wants, and it will make no difference for him if his needs are satisfied
or not. Here the central problem is the meaning of “I” and “me”, and the first
thing an intelligent human being must do is to understand this “I”. That what
most people consider as their “I”, is an identity which has been imposed upon
him by his surroundings, parents, society, etc. this is an “I” and identity
which is completely conditioned by the above factors. From times immemorial,
there were always people or rather spiritualists who tried to convey this type
of ideology which acquired the name of monism, but lost its real meaning. These
people used their own language for conveying this message according to time,
place, social and mental conditions of their time. For example, Jesus Christ
referred on several occasions to the mental state of a child while preaching
his message.
According to the Bible (see reference 3), on one occasion people brought their
children to Jesus in order to bless them. But his disciples did not allow the
folk to bring their children to Jesus. When Jesus became aware his disciples
behavior he told them “let the children come to me because the
The above parables have been quoted so
as to be useful for Christians. Jesus tried to tell the same idea as given in
this paper, but he said it in such a manner so as to be comprehensible by those
people some 2000 years ago.
A parable of Emam Ali (Muslim saint)
gives the central idea of the ideology of Universal Parallelism in a very
concise manner. Quote:
“The
world is two days only. One day is in your favor, the other day is against you.
At the day which is in your favor, do not get drunk (i.e. do not loose
yourselves, your humanity, justice and humbleness), at the day which is against
you, be patient”.
The above quotation is in the light of Universal Parallelism highly
meaningful if interpreted properly. The two days refer to the duality of the
positive and the negative which are equal and which we obtain in exactly the
same measure. If his intention were not to imply that plus is equal to negative,
then there would be no need to divide the world into two opposing parts and say
that "the world is two days only". In those days it was simply not
possible to explain this subject with the language as used in this paper.
The ideology of Universal Parallelism
or "neo-monism" is a state of consciousness where you see everything
with the same eye, that is, you do not see any difference. This state is
similar to the state of deep sleep. The only difference is that you are
conscious and your body and mind keep on doing their pre programmed activities
like exerting will power, making decisions, remembering, feeling, eating,
drinking, etc. it is almost that kind of state when you were an infant. Your
body was alive, but you were in the center of your consciousness unmoved by
your bodily activities. The infant is in a natural way in the state of
"neo- monism" because his conscious memory was not active yet. But we
as grownup persons have our memory in an active state. Our whole problem is
this memory which records the experiences of pleasure and pain. The aim is to
neutralize this memory, and the ideology of Universal Parallelism does exactly
this neutralization. A real "intelligent" and healthy person who is
full of live and energy will and must ask himself why he is suffering, and thus
starts analyzing himself until he finally understands that his problem is just
his mind and memory of which he must free himself. If one really understands
this ideology, he automatically gets transformed to a new person.
In view of the fact that there are
many different ideologies whose follower consider their ideology to be
"superior" to other ideologies, the present ideology of Universal
Parallelism seems to be one of them which claims to be superior. But by understanding
this ideology properly, we will see that this is not the case. The logic of
this ideology does not allow to consider itself superior. It is the dimension
of time which controls everything and which will decide at what period which
ideology will be in force, and thus superior.
Understanding this ideology will
change your attitude to life and the way of living. It will create a new man
which is the only way if humanity wants to survive. Because without this new
man, and without changing the way of living as mentioned earlier, there is no
way for humanity to survive. We talk about peace, but peace is not possible if
we think that we can obtain happiness more than its antonym i.e. pain and
sorrow.
As we can on base of dualism divide
the existence into the two fundamental groups of positive and negative therefore
the polarity of night and day is parallel to the polarity of sleep and
its antonym (conscious state), and this
is parallel to the polarity of monism and dualism. When we are asleep we see everything with the
“same eye” and are actually in “absolute knowledge”, and when we are not asleep
we are in ignorance and see everything with “different eyes” (the polarity of
knowledge and ignorance). Sleep is
parallel to death, and to be awake is parallel to live. In the state of sleep
(or death), pleasure and pain are in absolute equilibrium or zero. When we are
not asleep, pleasure and pain are fluctuating in order to balance out each
other. The concepts of the polarity of “paradise” and “hell” which many consider
as equal to eternal bliss and eternal suffering will have no difference in
regard to the relative experiences of pleasure and pain because in both states
we will obtain pleasure and pain in exactly the equal measure. That what I am
trying to say is that it does not matter what kind of person you are, whether
you religious or irreligious, a kind or an evil person, an oppressor or a
“Mother Theresa”, in each case you will experience pleasure and pain in equal
measure. I personally prefer the ideology of neo- monism because it imposes
itself by means of my intellect upon me. But it does not mean that it is a
better ideology. Attraction is the criteria of what is “true”. That what is
more attractive has more right. Attraction is a function of time. Time controls
everything. It is the time which determines which ideology prevails and is more
attractive at certain period. Time is the supreme ruler.
Here
I shall quote a verse from the Bhagavad- gītā
which is the holy book of the Hindus, as the Bible is the holy book for
the Christians and the Koran is the holy book of the Muslims.
"What is night for all beings is the time of
awakening for the self-controlled; and the time of awakening for all beings is
night for the introspective sage."
Bhagavad- gītā (chapter 2, verse 69)
The above verse conveys the same
message as the Universal Parallelism. But we should be aware that books just
convey statements which are made up of words, and as mentioned before any
statement will convey true reality only when it is accompanied by its negation.
But it is not necessary to negate each statement in order to convey truth by
means of words. It is sufficient to be just aware of it. From the perspective
of Universal Parallelism the negation is always implied, and it is this
awareness of the negation (which has the equal right to be true) that is the
heart and focus of the ideology of U.P. and which has to be understood
logically. We have to unlearn everything in order to see the existence from its
true perspective. Our present perspective is exactly 180 degrees opposed to the true perspective, and most humans
look at the existence from this perspective and base their reasoning and
ideology on this perspective.
It is important to understand that all
the concepts and meanings which are transferred by means of language i.e.
words, have no real meaning and are all relative. All these concepts and
meanings exist only in our mind, and are subject to our upbringing. That we
consider relative concepts as real or self- evident truths are in fact an
educational matter. If we would have got proper upbringing from our very
childhood, we would not now be living with an imaginary and conditioned
identity and be drowned in “self- evident truths”. The older one gets, the
deeper these self- evident truths will get rooted, and to uproot them will be
more difficult.
Because opposites do not exist,
therefore according to the Equilibrium Theory whatever has been written in this
paper and you have been reading, do not have any real meaning, because if I
wanted to convey real truth by means of words, then I had to contradict i.e.
negate immediately each statement, which means I had to present every statement
along with its opposite. For example if I would say that the real size of the
sun is bigger than an apple (i.e. S>A), then I had to mention its opposite
as well, i.e. the real size of the sun is smaller than an apple (i.e. S<A),
and these statements would be equal to saying nothing or silence (because they
neutralize each other). For our present state of mind, truth will always sound
paradox. The above message is the heart and focus of the Equilibrium Theory and
its underlying ideology of neo- monism. With the above statement I am actually
telling you that this paper and its content is all "nonsense". Here
we can see that with this viewpoint it is not possible to claim that the
ideology of universal parallelism is superior to other ideologies. Maybe it is
the first time that an author (any author loves his work like his child and
considers it as very important) dismisses his own work as “nonsense”. But this
is a necessary conclusion from the perspective of the Equilibrium Theory. The
statement “this book is nonsense” is equal to its opposite statement (its
negation), i.e. “this book is not nonsense”, i.e. full of meaning, because both
statements have the equal right to claim to be true. Explaining this subject in
this manner, is the only way to convey reality by means of words. Although in
this way all statements neutralize themselves and become contradictory and
“meaningless”, but nevertheless they bring the point home.
A child who
is still in his mother's womb, because his “knowledge” is zero therefore we can
say that he knows everything, he is in the pure state of neo- monism. After
birth, slowly with the passing of time, he starts to get drown in self- evident
truths and to associate his identity with his body, and this of course through
the help of his parents and the society. The child is in fact more independent
and more free from want than we are, and it is just in out mind that we think
the child needs food, care, love, etc. Even if
we “cut the child into pieces”, of course it will cry because it is a
physical reaction, but in the core of his consciousness he will not suffer
because it does not know what pain and
pleasure are. This is due to the fact that it has not associated himself with
his body yet. It is for this reason that it would make for us no difference
what happened to us in the early stages of our childhood, and it is for this
reason that we cannot remember that early stage of life. These are the grownups who think that the
child suffers or that he is in need of something because we the grownups see
only the
external body of the child and not the core of the child's consciousness, we
compare the inner state of the child with ourselves and think that the child
interprets stimulations as we do. The child does not interpret anything yet
(this could be why Jesus said “don’t judge less you be judged”). These are the
parents and the society with its schools and universities who teach the child
certain kind of interpretations and knowledge and
self- evident truths and make the child like themselves. Because the child is
in a state of perfect neo- monism, he does not know any "fear" or its
antonym "courage", no “aim” and no “aimlessness”, no “good” and no
“bad”, no “meaning” and no “nonsense”. If man uses his
intellect properly with all its capacity, he will automatically return to that state of neo-
monism which he had when he was still an infant. This is only due to a low and
medium intellect which has being not properly trained that knows self- evident
truths, and tries to justify and explain with
his knowledge the worldly phenomena. And because of this he
tries very hard to obtain happiness in a greater proportion then its
counterpart which is an impossible undertaking, and this very senseless hope is
a factor to oppress himself and others.
Among the 3 main principles of
Universal Parallelism only the 1st principle is related to neo-
monism. Dualism starts with the 2nd principle which is needed to
explain natural phenomenon and to create all the apparent infinite varieties of
nature. With the 3rd principle we
can apply practically the 2nd principle and explain the “mysteries” of the existence using the
superior reasoning process of the parallel relationship as opposed to the “cause- effect
relationship” which is a rather awkward
reasoning process but nevertheless workable.
The ideology of the Universal
Parallelism tries to make us understand the illusion of dualism, and return to
the state of neo- monism i.e. the 1st
Principle. The 1st principle defines the “complete reality” which
means infinity. Infinity we can not divide into 2 elementary subunits of
positive and negative as we have done
with the 2nd principle because infinity is not divisible. Something
which has no beginning or end, how can you divide it? There can be only one
infinity because there will be no room left for something else. Infinity
requires everything in order to be infinity. The meaning of infinity is the
most enlightening and the most natural meaning, but we take it too lightly.
Since our childhood whatever object we saw in our environment had a beginning
and an end. There was and is nothing which is permanent. Therefore, because our
mind is not used to it, it is difficult to imagine that something can be
without a beginning or end. The meaning of infinity or eternal is difficult to
comprehend and can be understood only by means of inference. To understand the
meaning of infinity more deeply will result in acquiring a new perspective of
viewing the existence, and many questions will become automatically answered.
A good and simple method which I
recommend for obtaining a deeper comprehension of the meaning of infinity
(the most meaningful word in our dictionary,
which the more we think and meditate on it the more we become enlightened), which
will keep growing like a powerful tree, is by just spending 10-15 minutes every day doing the
aforementioned imaginary journey of contraction and expansion. To obtain the
best results, it should be performed with the highest concentration possible as
if you do meditation or prayer. By constant repetition it will build in your
brain a cell structure which due to constant repetition will grow into more
complex structure serving as a basis to understand intellectually the important
points of this new ideology and to neutralize your knowledge which is a
prerequisite for understanding the ideology of Universal Parallelism, and to
experience and live it.
At the end I want to point
out that between dualism and "neo- monism" is a very subtle
difference. The world today is governed by modern science and has everybody in
its grip. Among all the sciences, the science of mathematics takes the highest
place and rules over everything. The forceful power of mathematics starts when
we accept that 1+1=2. If this is accepted, then all the terms and rules of
mathematics become compulsory and impose themselves upon our logic, and this
forms the foundation of dualism, i.e. the opposite of neo- monism. But if we
accept the definition of the Equilibrium Theory that 1+1=1 which is equal to
zero and infinity (1+1=1=0=∞), then we will have to accept everything
said in this paper and which may appear at first strange and contradictory. We
have to look at this matter in this way that mathematics is based on an
incomplete definition, and on a complete definition which is explained in the
Equilibrium Theory. The incomplete definition is that definition which is
nowadays everywhere in use. In the incomplete definition there is no place for
the complete definition, whereas in the complete definition there is a place
for incomplete too because according the complete definition, the incomplete definition has the equal right to
be true. In other words, in the incomplete definition 1+1=2 and has no any
other meaning, whereas in the complete definition, one plus one is two too, but
at the same time 1+1=1=0=∞ and there is no any contradiction involved. It
is a mistake not to give attention to the complete definition only because it
appears contradictory. The real message is in this seemingly contradictory
statement, and the whole purpose of this paper is to make this message
understandable. Reality cannot be expressed by words, and any attempt to do so
will result in contradictory and paradox statements which is almost equal to
saying nothing at all, i.e. silence because any true statement must be
accompanied by its negation, therefore it will neutralize itself and become
equivalent to silence.
If we accept the complete
definition as mentioned above, it is possible that the results which are
derived from it, due to our upbringing and the ways we are used to, appear
strange simply because we are not used to it. But with some contemplation, they
can be understood easily and can become part of our general and ordinary
knowledge and reasoning process. Today in our schools and universities we all
learn the incomplete definition of mathematical principles – the controversies
about the foundation of mathematics is still unresolved – and this will result
that we will not recognize the inherent relative nature of the so- called self-
evident truths, and because mathematics influence all other sciences and
everything is proved in mathematical terms, all these together will result that
we get deeper absorbed and rooted in "self- evident truths". Instead
of learning real knowledge in those educational institutes (real knowledge is
that knowledge which gives answer to the most important question humanity can
have, namely, "what am I, and why do I suffer") we learn exactly the
opposite. Exactly here lies the reason for our today's dangerous and
unfavorable world situation which is moving towards a self destruction. An
improvement of this situation can only start by reeducating ourselves and
others. That what is most urgently needed in our today's world, and for each
human being as well, is unity in a sound ideology. The underlying ideology of
the Equilibrium Theory can be a unifying factor and can help to unite all the
different ideologies which are in a hot or cold war with each other, and help
the world to come to its senses and change its present collision course which
is not very far from the threshold of destruction and help to create an
environment in which men and all other creatures can live in peace.

Matter is infinitely compressionable
Siamak Zandpour
The below given simple model may
help you to understand that our infinite universe has theoretically the capacity
to be infinitely compression able. In other words it has the capacity to be
compression able up to a microscopic point.
How is this possible?
This is possible because the
smallest indivisible particle does not exist in the universe. There are always
smaller particles. If this answer does not make an immediate sense to you here
we give further explanations.
All the
particles i.e. matter making up our universe are themselves infinitely
divisible. A final indivisible or smallest particle is non existent in our
universe. Each particle is in itself a conglomeration of smaller particles
which themselves are again conglomerations of even smaller particles.
The below
given figure displays an expanded view of an imaginary particle consisting of
four sub particles A1, B1, C1 and D1. By viewing these 4 sub particles from far
away they will appear to our eyes as a single point or particle. Here we
divided the sample particle into four sub particles just as an example in order
to facilitate its understanding. We could have used any other division. One of
these 4 sub particles i.e. B1 is depicted in an expanded view to show that each
of these 4 sub particles is in itself a conglomeration of smaller particles who
again are themselves conglomerations of even smaller particles and so on till
infinity. In this model this feature is illustrated up to four levels although
theoretically it has infinite levels.
Now with
the above explanation in mind lets consider the subject of infinite compression
ability of matter. Using our model we will try to see how far we can compress
these 4 sub particles A1, B1, C1 and D1 present on this 20 square cm space. By
compressing these four 5 square cm sub particles they will fit into the 10
square cm space shown with A2, B2, C2 and D2. This we call the first level
compression. By considering that each of these four sub particles are
themselves compression able – in the same manner as shown in the first level
compression – therefore by repeating the above compression they will fit into
the 5 square cm space A3, B3, C3 and D3. This we call the second level
compression. We repeat the above compression again which will make them fit
into the 2.5 square cm space A4, B4, C4 and D4. We call it the 3rd
level compression. In this manner, this compression can be repeated again and
again up to infinite levels. This is due to the fact that the final smallest
indivisible particle is non existent. Because there exists always a smaller
particle therefore there will be never a situation where particles can touch
each other and therefore making further compression impossible.
