Random Volition, A Review
Random Volition
Sitting absorbing sunlight
A cold evening windy
In blows a leaf at random
It has seen its days
A heart or a spade it depends
On your point of view
Two holes marked the days
One on either side
An opportunity then to hold it against
The sun bright
And let the rays enter
Where time has done its job
The leaf and I so similar
And in that moment I knew
That randomness itself wasn't random
He that created the leaf
Also created me
And the sun and the rays of light
This encounter was surely not planned
In a life fully planned
This bit of freedom I did have
And today that shall be enough
I wrote that poem a lot time ago in a journal with a pen. Since I wrote this, leaves have become a regular sort of visitor. They often fall while I am staring into the expanded consciousness. Sometimes they fall without any tree in sight. The mind tries to justify the image after the act. As you can tell from the poem then I felt…. scheduled. Trapped. Caged.
Lately, I haven’t felt that way about my scheduled life. Adaptation is a wonderful thing. Constriction sometimes allows you newer forms of freedom. If I wasn’t such a robot living a fully scheduled life, perhaps I would not realize how extraordinary, singular and unique everything is. Every moment is a once in a lifetime. Not simply because time is a one way street. It’s because of the configurations of the various parameters, because of the equations, because of infinity. Take a koi pond filled with koi and turtles. They swim around and they never ever repeat the exact configuration ever again. The tap that brings water into the pond does it with a fixed pressure yet the way the ripples move outward are related to the koi, the turtles and also the effects of wind and leaves on the pond’s surface. They too never ever repeat in exactly the same way. And depending on where I am seated around the pond, I too will never see them the same way again. Even the all encompassing expanded consciousness will never see them again in exactly the same way.
And therefore, even though I am on a schedule designed not by me, the moments are each and every one of them unique, unrepeated and therefore providing a measure of freedom. Even the great architects of the schedule cannot re-simulate the simulation. The simulation itself must require extraordinary amount of computational bandwidth from the quantum to the supernovas depending on how large of an area it covers.
As far as I know that’s the humility that time teaches. The simulation is not like a video that can be rewinded or pressed into fast forward. We can travel in time but only in our collective memories. That then is also limited by the amount of data in our memories. Hypothetically say we have the collective memories of people since 1900. That then is a cutoff. We can’t travel back before that into 1899. Or 1800. Or 1776. Or 1500 as a part of the Sioux nation.
Interestingly we have the DNA of dinosaurs. It is possible at some point to Jurassic Park them into return like the wooly mammoth project. But we have other problems in America. Like mBridge and the eventual loss of dollar dominance.
I would suggest that states should heed the 9th and 10th amendments and prepare for all eventualities including the collapse of the dollar by being ready to issue their own currency if necessary. They must war game scenarios including being prepared to provide their citizens with the basics of food, shelter, clothing, water, a currency for exchange and a willingness to move with the help of the Federal government. Yet that would mean having and electing competent, reasonable and rational politicians.
Don't get me wrong, it’s not legal to issue currency other than the Federal US dollar. I am talking about contingency planning for a possible development that may not be too far away if you re-read the articles I have written about the four colliding timelines. And the continued success of China’s digital Yuan currency and the platform they’ve developed known as mBridge.
