INTRODUCTION
his is a story about the most remarkable little girl in the world. Actually, she
is the most remarkable person in the world. She lives in the mountains with her parents,
not too far from a great city. Her name is Tinny Rainbird; she is eleven years old. It's
not so remarkable that Tinny is so remarkable, she grew up in very unusual circumstances.
About fifteen years ago Tinny's mother and father were graduate students at one of the
most famous universities in the world. Her mother was studying physics and her father was
studying psychology. Her mother's professors thought she showed the potential to become
the greatest physicist there had ever been, and her father's professors thought he showed
the potential to become the greatest psychologist there had ever been. Shortly before
Tinny's mother and father were to receive their doctorates they met and fell in love. They
got married and left the university. They never did receive their doctoral degrees. Their
professors were very disappointed. They thought that was the end of two potentially great
careers. Tinny's mother and father had not given up their fields of study, they
couldn't do that. Tinny's mother loved physics with all her heart, just as her father
loved psychology. Tinny's parents had decided to dedicate their lives to study. They would
live their life together as an experiment. They found a beautiful, remote spot in the
mountains and built a house. Just the two of them. They had chosen the location well. They
were virtually able to be self-sufficient, which was their goal. They had fresh water, and
all the vegetables and fruit they could use from their large garden and small orchard.
Neither of Tinny's parents ate meat because they thought it was unnecessary; and more
importantly they had high regard for all forms of life. They also had all the electricity
they needed. Tinny's mother had designed an energy system that very efficiently combined
solar and wind power. Every few months they would travel into the city to buy any other
supplies they needed and many, many books. Not just books on physics and psychology, but
books on every area of science and human knowledge. Tinny's mother and father lived an
idyllic life. They lived a life of learning and loving. Tinny's mother was beginning to
understand physics better than anyone had ever understood physics before, and her father
was beginning to understand psychology better than anyone had ever understood psychology
before. They decided the time has right to bring another being into existence.
They had a child, a beautiful little girl. They named her Tinny Rainbird. During those
first eleven years of Tinny's life her parents included her fully in their loving and
learning. Tinny had never experienced a moment when she did not feel loved; and she gave
her love in return. Her mother and father never once touched her in anger, nor even spoke
a harsh word to her. They had accepted her as a fully equal member of the family from the
day she was conceived. As Tinny grew she watched her mother and father work and love and
learn. It was only natural that she also worked and loved and learned. Tinny never went to
school, and her mother and father never taught her in any formal manner. Tinny had been
welcome in all her mother's and father's conversations, even those of a most technical and
philosophical nature. Whenever Tinny asked a question she would get a good answer in words
she could understand. She never learned there here some things a child couldn't
understand. Tinny loved to learn. By the time she was eleven years old she could
understand physics, psychology, and many other areas of knowledge as well as most
university professors. Tinny didn't realise this has unusual; she had never met another
person other than her mother and father. She really was a most remarkable little girl.
Tinny had a favourite place where she would go when she wanted to be
alone and think. It has a small grassy glen, surrounded by trees, where the sun would
shine through the leaves bathing her in streams of light. She was not happy today, as was
often the case lately. It was not her home or family which made her unhappy. It was the
world outside she had never seen. Her mother and father were always totally honest with
her; and when Tinny asked questions about how things were in the rest of the world, they
told her the truth. There was crime and violence. Many people did not treat each other in
a loving manner. There were many sad people whose lives had been hurt by drugs and
alcohol. There were people who were treated as less than equal because of their colour or
sex or age. There were people starving because others took far more than was right. There
were people who would pollute and destroy the environment for profit. There were people
fighting each other to prove theirs was the right religion. There were nations fighting
each other to prove theirs was the right political system. There were wars where millions
died. And there was the threat of nuclear war; a nuclear war which could destroy all life
on the planet. Although all of those things saddened Tinny greatly, she knew there was
hope. There were many good people in the world, and given enough time they would right all
the wrongs of the world. The worry which crept into Tinny's thoughts more and more lately
was, "but would there be time?" Tinny knew there was the chance, any moment, that the
many thousand nuclear armed missiles in the world would be fired off; thus ending any hope
for the beautiful future she foresaw. How could this horror be stopped? What could she do
to stop it? She had no answer. It was these thoughts which saddened her today. She had been sitting
with her legs crossed and her back straight. It was a posture for meditation she had
learned from her mother and father. She thought of her parents now, dying in a nuclear
blast. "I wish there was something I could do", she thought. A tear formed in her eye
and slowly ran down her cheek. Her vision blurred for a moment, and when it cleared there
was a man standing in front of her. He was an old man with white hair and a white beard.
He wore a simple white robe. The light from the sun streaming in through the leaves seemed
attracted to him. He was very bright; almost, but not quite, too bright to look at. Tinny
felt no fear, she could sense his gentleness and love. She could also sense a special
power about him. Tinny asked, "Who are you?" He answered, "I am a
philosopher-scientist; I have come because I heard your wish." TINNY: How could you hear my wish? I didn't say it aloud, I thought it.
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: A thought speaks as loudly as a word. I heard you
and have come to grant your wish. I could see the purity of your unselfish desire. You
didn't ask for yourself, you asked for the world.
STARS
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: About how many stars are in the Milky Way Galaxy?
TINNY: A huge number, maybe one hundred billion stars. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: And how many galaxies in the known universe?
TINNY: Perhaps about the same number as there are stars in the Milky Way,
one hundred billion. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: If those numbers are right and each galaxy had
about the same number of stars, that would mean there were as many as ten thousand billion
billion stars in the known universe. Do you mean to say all those stars came from that
original hydrogen and helium gas? TINNY: I do, but it wasn't quite that simple.
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: What do you mean? TINNY: Most of those first stars which formed no longer exist. Since the
only two elements in the universe at that time were hydrogen and helium, the first stars
which formed were giant stars, made up totally of those two gases. Those early stars were
called first generation stars. Most were so massive that they collapsed in on themselves,
then blew apart in great explosions called supernovas. When those giant stars collapsed,
the pressure pushed their hydrogen and helium atoms together with so much force that they
merged into one another, forming larger atoms. That process is called nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion is the process which allows stars to burn for billions of years. It is also
the process which formed virtually all of the other elements that exist in the universe.
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Are you saying that all of the different elements
such as carbon, oxygen, sulphur, lead, gold, uranium, and others formed from hydrogen and
helium gas in the center of stars? TINNY: That's right, over 100 different elements formed through the fusion
process during the normal life cycle of stars, and at the moment when particularly massive
stars explode as supernovas; but, some of them were so radioactive they didn't survive for
very long. There are less than one hundred natural elements now left on our planet. The
gold in this ring I'm wearing used to be in the middle of a star. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Amazing.
TINNY: It sure is. I like to think that I'm wearing a piece of a star on
my finger.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
TINNY: The very nature of science will be changed by this new world
view. Although the ancient goal of science was to gain wisdom, understand natural law, and
live in harmony with the natural order, science has for hundreds of years been the means
by which mankind has come to dominate and control nature. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: It sounds like science took a turn for the worse.
TINNY: Such was the effect of materialism, the view that there is no
purpose, no life, and no spirituality in matter; that nature works according to mechanical
laws, and everything in the material world could be explained in terms of the arrangement
and movement of its parts. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: How did the belief in materialism affect human culture?
TINNY: Science made it more and more difficult to believe in God. The
divine eventually disappeared from science leaving behind a spiritual vacuum that has
become characteristic of the mainstream of our culture. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: And you say science is about to take another turn,
that new turn being based on the quantum/relativistic view of reality. TINNY: That's right. Science during its materialistic period laid claim to
and prided itself on its objectivity. Science purported to stand beyond values and
morality. The new world view challenges that myth of a value-free science. It gives
meaning back to human life. It provides a means by which the realm of science can exist in
perfect harmony with spiritual aims and religious beliefs. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Couldn't that be dangerous? In the past religions
have at times stood in the way of human progress, have required that beliefs other than
truth be accepted as true, and have perpetuated great evil upon the members of our
culture. TINNY: I would admit that all those things have been true; but, it is also
the case that religions have given us some of our greatest truths and have been a source
of great good.
RELATIVITY THEORY
TINNY: The driving force in the development of relativity theory was
the desire to show, through a unified foundation to the varied concepts in physics, that
nature possessed an inherent harmony. According to relativity theory, space is not
three-dimensional and time is not a separate entity. Space and time are intimately
connected, forming a four-dimensional continuum, referred to as space-time. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: All measurements involving space or time would then
lose any absolute meaning. TINNY: So now we must accept that space has no meaning as a container of
material objects, and that there is no universal standard of time flow. Since space and
time had been so critical to our world view and to the description of all natural
phenomena, this new perspective requires we reassess our most basic beliefs and
assumptions about reality. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: With such a basic flaw in our perception of the
true nature of existence, it is not surprising that basing our beliefs and actions on the
old, incorrect world view has led the human race to the brink of extinction. Are there any
other surprises from relativity theory? TINNY: Relativity theory tells us that matter is another form of energy. I
think that is quite a surprising conclusion. It is that truth which allowed the primal
photons to create particles of matter such as electrons, protons, and neutrons when those
photons collided, during the early moments of the newly created physical universe.
ENVOLUTION
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: What would you call the progressive
developmental process which permeates the physical universe? TINNY: I call it envolution.
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: That's very similar to the word evolution. How do
you define that new word 'envolution' which describes the developmental process?
TINNY: Envolution is the natural unfolding of the physical universe in a
series of successive small steps from a simple deterministic beginning to a perfect
transcendental culmination. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: That definition includes virtually all properties
and behaviour in the physical universe. TINNY: Envolution is a description of the one basic law. Included in the
concept of envolution is a further assumption; that the process is cyclic. After the
simple deterministic beginning comes perfect transcendental existence. After perfect
transcendental existence comes a simple deterministic beginning. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: One becoming the many, and many becoming the one.
TINNY: The eternal cycle. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Let me see if I understand the concept of
envolution. As the physical universe begins it has a purpose, which is the creation of
conscious existence, perfect in every aspect. The physical universe has an essential
structure which determines the quantum/relativistic reality. That reality expresses the
true nature of material existence. The physical universe begins as simple material forms
acting in a largely determined manner in accord with their true nature. As simple matter
develops into more complex organisations of matter, it begins to manifest a greater range
of characteristics. The material stages of development progress through subatomic
particles, atoms, and molecules to become biological organisms. The specific forms which
can be manifested in each of those physical levels of existence is limited by the quantum
factors of its own level and all preceding levels. That developmental process continues
until a state of perfect transcendental existence is achieved. From that perfect
transcendental existence emanates new physical existence of a simple deterministic nature.
CONSCIOUSNESS
TINNY: In describing the envolution of consciousness I'll outline the
process starting at human level consciousness, then work backwards to the beginning of the
universe. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: In describing the progressive development of other
aspects of the physical universe, such as life, you began at the beginning and worked
forward to the human level, why explain the development of consciousness in reverse order?
TINNY: It is hard enough to see the relationship between the earliest
physical forms and human life. With a quality such as consciousness, which is not visible,
the relationship between the earliest manifestations of consciousness and human level
consciousness may not be obvious enough to be understood. So if I begin at the level of
consciousness, the human level, with which we are most familiar, the overall developmental
process should be easier to understand. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: But perhaps still difficult to understand?
TINNY: Not only difficult to understand, but also hard to believe. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Why is that?
TINNY: At the lower levels of physical form I will be describing as
consciousness some characteristics which have long been accepted as relating to factors
other than consciousness. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Would you give me a definition of consciousness?
TINNY: If I am to give a definition of consciousness which is to be
meaningful at all levels it must be in very simple terms, because the term consciousness
has wider meaning than just the human level of consciousness. Human level consciousness is
a very complex manifestation of that particular characteristic. At more simple levels of
material development the consciousness manifested is also more simple. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: That's fine, the definition must be one that
includes all levels of consciousness from the most simple to the most complex.
TINNY: An all inclusive definition of consciousness is, 'the ability to
perceive and react appropriately to the environment'. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Does that simple definition include even human
level consciousness? TINNY: On a very sophisticated level that is what human consciousness
consists of, an extremely complex manifestation of the ability to perceive and react
appropriately to the environment. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: What about memory, which doesn't seem to be either
the ability to perceive the environment or react appropriately to it? TINNY: Memory is one of the mechanisms that enables consciousness to react
appropriately to the environment. At lower levels of consciousness different mechanisms
are used to enable appropriate reactions to the environment to occur. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: What are those different mechanisms if not memory?
TINNY: Actually they are memory at lower levels of development. They are
the various progressive steps on the way to the characteristic we know at the human level
as memory. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: How about the human qualities of emotion, are they
just part of the ability to perceive and react appropriately to the environment?
TINNY: Emotions remain as real and beautiful as ever, losing none of their
importance by being included in that simplified definition. At the human level emotions
are appropriate reactions to our perceptions of the environment. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: The definition of consciousness you give is not to
be seen as limiting, but as a convenient way to describe inclusively the varied
manifestations of consciousness at all levels. TINNY: It would not be correct to give a more complex definition because
although it might seem to explain more fully human level consciousness, it would become
meaningless at the simplest levels.
LOGIC
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Would you give a brief explanation of
multi-dimensional logic? TINNY: The system of thinking based on multi-dimensional logic derives its
effectiveness from the unified nature of all existence. In describing that logic system I
will be using a three dimensional model. I must do that for the same reason I had to
describe the shape of the physical universe as a three dimensional torus, a doughnut
shape. The essential nature of existence, the toroidal shape of the universe, and this new
system of thinking all have multi-dimensional aspects beyond the three dimensional world.
Unfortunately, with a language which does not yet contain words and concepts to adequately
describe that which transcends the three dimensions, I can not give true descriptions of
the fullness of multi-dimensional reality. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Your efforts to provide descriptions of
multi-dimensional reality in words and concepts of three dimensional existence have been
most helpful. We must always accept our limitations. Those limitations are only temporary.
Please go ahead with the explanation of multi-dimensional logic. TINNY: In three dimensional terms this new logic system can be fairly
easily described. Thinking has envolved just as all other things have envolved. The
simplest logical system of thinking we use to acquire knowledge can be thought of as
having no dimensions. If we see a familiar object we do not require a sequence of thoughts
to identify the object. The fact that it is perceived gives it identity. The next, and
more widely used logical system of thinking can be thought of as having one dimension.
This could be called linear logic. In that system of thinking we progress to knowledge by
a sequential series of bits of information, facts which form a line leading to a
conclusion. Linear logic works fine if the all points on the line, representing necessary
facts are available, but if there is information missing the sequential series is broken
and a conclusion cannot be reached. A further logical system of thinking can be thought of as having two
dimensions. In this system of thinking we progress to knowledge across a plane. In that
case no particular missing bit of information bars us from reaching a conclusion. As we
approach knowledge along any line we may move to the side, across the plane, if it becomes
necessary to bypass any empty space on the original line of logical progression. The
plane, though, being limited to two dimensions does not contain all knowledge, only that
knowledge contained within a particular subject. An even higher logical system can be thought of as having three
dimensions. In that system of thinking we progress to knowledge through the body of a
sphere. In this case all facts are contained within the sphere, as bits of information,
each occupying a different point among the infinitude of points which make up the body of
the sphere. As we think within the system of three-dimensional logic we have access to the
necessary information to reach any conclusion. The path may be winding, even wildly
divergent, but from any point within the sphere it is possible to reach any other point.
Gaps along any sequential series or line present no obstacle. Information lacking on any
plane is freely available on other planes. A sphere contains not only a infinitude of
points, but also an infinite number of lines and an infinite number of planes. When using
three-dimensional logic to attain knowledge there are an infinite number of paths leading
to every conclusion. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Are there no limits at all to what knowledge is
available when using three-dimensional logic? TINNY: Three-dimensional logic makes available all knowledge contained
within the material plane of existence. To go beyond the material plane a new system of
thinking must be used. That new system of thought is multi-dimensional logic, which has no
limits and has available all knowledge. Through multi-dimensional logic knowledge of
perfect and absolute truth can be achieved. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: We humans are three-dimensional beings existing on
the material plane. How can we utilise a system of thinking which reaches beyond the
physical existence? TINNY: At the human level of consciousness our minds are constantly linked
to existence beyond the material plane. Each of us has the potential to open the door of
our mind, allowing access to perfect and absolute truth. Multi-dimensional logic, when
fully expressed, does not lead to conclusions along lines, across planes, or through
spheres; instead all knowledge is simultaneously and perfectly within the awareness of
consciousness.
RATE OF SOCIAL CHANGE
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: If we truly know good from evil and right from
wrong will we then be able to act in perfect accord with that knowledge? TINNY: I wish it could be that easy. To know the true nature of good and
evil is a necessary step toward right action. It is a step that must be taken before right
action can occur through the exercise of free-will. If we know good from evil the
connection between the mind and body will result in our behaviour changing in a direction
which would be more in harmony with the natural order. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Will there be a sudden shift in behaviour toward
that which is known to be right? TINNY: The speed of the shift in behaviour will vary between individuals
from the almost instantaneous to the imperceptibly slow; but, it will always occur.
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: What determines the rate of change by which
behaviour is brought into line with the knowledge of good and evil? TINNY: There are many factors which affect that rate of change. Some of
those are: the degree of surety as to the truth of the knowledge; the consequences of
wrong action; how integral a part of life the wrong behaviours were; how rewarding the
wrong behaviours were perceived to be; and perhaps the most influential factor, the degree
to which the knowledge of good and good and evil is commonly held by the other members of
society, particularly those others who have greatest personal significance. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: What would happen if all of human society were to
hold a common, objectively true understanding of good and evil? TINNY: There would be a virtually instantaneous transformation of human
society. We would rush toward the path of right action. This change would result in the
end of all present social problems facing humanity. We would have a world that was so good
it would be a veritable utopia compared to the way things are in the world at present. We
would make a quantum leap to a higher order of developmental progression on the path to
perfection. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: And that great change would happen just because all
human society held the same objective knowledge about the true nature of good and evil?
TINNY: Exactly. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: If everyone was in agreement as to the true
objective nature of good and evil wouldn't we have total conformity, a world where
everyone acted the same way? TINNY: The opposite would be the case. We would have greater diversity in
human society than ever before. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Why would that be?
TINNY: There has always been a need to place limits on human behaviour to
protect individuals and society from the effects of wrong actions. Those limits have been
enforced through law, custom, and social mores. In a world freed from the constant threat
of wrong action we would no longer have that pressing need to constrain the realm of human
behaviour. We would have a freedom of action never before available. Freedom within the
range of right behaviour would allow a far wider expression of human action than could
exist within the relatively narrow range of acceptable behaviour which included both good
and evil. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: Why is it the range of good is larger than the
range of good and evil combined? TINNY: Good alone stands unlimited, while when good and evil are combined,
fears of evil result in the placing of constraints which affect both good and evil.
PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: So we won't have conformity when the world is
basically good? TINNY: No, we won't have conformity. It would be boring if everyone were
exactly the same. Besides, if everyone were the same it would limit the progression of the
human species. PHILOSOPHER-SCIENTIST: How would human progression then be limited?
TINNY: We must explore many paths to reach our destined goal, perfection
in every aspect. In that new world of goodness we will be freed from the constraints of
evil, and new paths never before possible will be open to us. I don't think we can yet
realise how great that freedom shall be.
SUMMARY
TINNY: In the beginning light created physical existence. Light became
simple matter, the subatomic particles. From those subatomic particles emerged many
different atoms, forming the basic elements of which our universe is made. Galaxies,
stars, and planets formed from combinations of those original subatomic particles. As the
groupings of subatomic particles became more complex, in numberless places throughout the
universe, life of high consciousness developed. Human life is one example of this process
of development, called envolution. Envolution describes a process whereby simple material
existence, exhibiting few of the characteristics of life and consciousness, comes to
exhibit fully and perfectly all characteristics of life and consciousness. Our physical universe and all that it contains is part of the
reproductive nature of perfected being, God. We human beings are the created children of
God. For billions of years natural law directed this progressive development of simple
matter until human life came to exist. The major developmental levels to that point were
subatomic particles, atoms, molecules, biological life, and human life. At our level,
human existence, natural law no longer externally directs continued progression toward
perfection. One of the characteristics being progressively expressed is free-will.
Sub-atomic particles had virtually no free-will, atoms had a bit more, molecules still
more, and biological life even more free-will. At each of those levels of material
existence, although free-will was constantly progressing, the external control of natural
law had more influence than free-will. At the human level for the first time free-will has
progressed to a point where it has the potential for greater influence than the external
control of natural law. Natural law must still be followed, but we humans have the ability
and the obligation to choose whether or not to follow that natural law. If we are to fulfil the purpose of physical existence, which is to
attain perfection in every aspect, we can only do so by choosing to follow natural law. If
we do not choose to follow natural law we will cease to exist as a developing lifeform.
The future of humanity has only two possible paths. We will continue to progress to a
perfect and absolute existence or we will cease to exist as a species. The path to
perfection is the way of harmony and beauty, a future of peace and love. The path to
perfection is heaven on earth, a veritable utopia. The path to extinction is chaotic and
destructive, a future of force and aggression. The path to extinction is hell on earth, a
veritable nightmare. Ours are the generations which must make that fateful choice. While
it appears obvious that given such a choice any sane person could only choose the joys of
the path to perfection over the sorrows of the path to extinction, it remains an important
truth that all lines of development progressing toward perfection do not attain that grand
goal. The human species as a whole cannot be considered sane. It is an unhappy fact that humanity may not choose the path to
perfection, but instead may choose extinction. It is our collective insanity which could
bring about that fatal error. It is the natural condition for humanity to be sane. We have
diverged from the path of sanity due to our ignorance of the true nature of existence. We
have based our beliefs and our behaviours on an incorrect world view, a mistaken
perception of reality. To become sane we must come to know the true nature of our
existence. A new world view is needed, and it is available. If we are to survive, if
humanity is to have a future, we must soon come to know, understand, and live in accord
with natural law. Our future offers ecstasy beyond all previous experience. I want that
beautiful future for myself, but I want that future even more for all humanity. I will
work my whole life to help bring about that grand future, but it will take much more than
my small efforts. It is my hope and my prayer that all members of the human race will join
together, work together, and progress together toward our collective destiny, perfect and
absolute existence.
CONCLUSION
TINNY: Occasionally there occurs in the progression of human
knowledge a great leap forward in understanding. The unified theory of existence provides
the impetus for the greatest single stride forward in the long development of the human
race. The unified theory of existence is the culmination of modern scientific knowledge
combined with the essence of ancient wisdom. The unified theory of existence is not simply
a body of knowledge, no matter how significant. It is a body of knowledge specifically
designed to alter the consciousness of humanity in a positive direction. This is to be
accomplished by raising the level of consciousness of each individual who becomes aware of
this new world view. The unified theory of existence shall be the catalyst for a
revolution in every aspect of human life. With this knowledge humanity shall survive the
present threat of extinction and travel the path to perfection. This is the beginning of the
utopian dream...
