The Earnest Inquisition Of Obfuscation Bound By The Theorhetical Declaration Of The Theorem Derived From The Uniformed Chaos Axiom

Merely a hack who has rarely had the patience to sit through elongated oratory or literary dissertations in my quest to conceptualize and even capture the crux of creation through the language of mathematics and physics, I have found it gravely difficult, during my years of formal education, to await the necessarily standardized absorption by which mundane knowledge is methodically received. Boredom becomes quite captivating and even the most minute segments of data sets are set aside for in depth examination by which to formulate extraordinary principles both simplistic yet paradoxically profound. It seems truth tends to tangle in the arena of paradox (James 1:25).

There ultimately arrived a time by which I had to toss my systematic quest to conquer the principalities of physics to a far more poetically achievable educational genre. I therefore relented from the intensity of such studies into simpler tasks such as English, art and photography. History has likewise served such a capacity but to a lesser extent, since its process is more an abstract yet more tangible life application of the aforementioned principalities, which lends to its own enthusiastic arrangement of frustrations and fascinations. All the while, that which is exhibited within the confines of the Holy Bible has wallowed divinely in my midst throughout such eras, serving as an evermore acknowledged theme by which one in any such endeavor ought to engage with greater consideration, as its power of principalities provides a foundation by which wisdom is exponentially jettisoned to all who earnestly partake. Examine it as hereby stated and the wonders of the universe, whether academic or even spiritual, becoming exceedingly awakened unto your eyes and afforded the confluence of axioms.

Anyhow, I loved science and found great excitement in at least a few of them throughout my junior high and high school years. And later in college, math class, just as science, while it was a love, was likewise a match for my focus. Some facet would always seem to snag my interest in such a way that captivated me, leading me to overthrow the lesson for a gaping reception into the far too fundamentally apparent finiteness of one simplistic element.

Perhaps my greatest issue with the confines of formal education is its formalities of indoctrination, since it teaches merely to know than to learn, and therefore, my zealously fascinating manner of inquisition into easily accepted principalities disrupts well trained technicians of academic dissemination who themselves have very little understanding.

There have been several, perhaps many, instructors who have found my inquiry to be irritating to the point where vehemence erupts from their frustration. Likely, it is that their understanding of such principles bound within their chosen field of study is so light that immersion becomes frightening, to the point by which they attempt to maintain surface tension, yet cannot, for they have yet to achieve perfection.

Anyhow, there have been others who have found my earnest inquiry to be considerably intriguing and have engaged greatly. From them, I have learned much and have been equally challenged to such extents, exponentially jettisoned, just as iron sharpens iron. For when word becomes word, so goes the saber of triumph.

And so there I was. I had failed to turn in several weeks of assignments, stuck and even failing asleep on a series of formulas. While I had figured them is such a learned way, I envisioned yet another way, comparative to the difference of a casual observer who meanders through a garden on his way to his next class and that of a ballerina become the very beauty abound amid her arena. Then, I entered class to turn in homework from several weeks back, and as the class proceeded on several problems the instructor issued to buy him time to grade the evenings homework, he later landed upon mine near the end of class.

Looking up my way in a cross and unsettling manner: “This is late. And what is this (no question mark for it was not a question). This is not done right. This is unacceptable. Did you even read the book.”

I walked up. Observed what I knew to be in question. He continued. I watched. And might I mentioned I was also quite rebellious and had considerable disdain for those are fierce for the letter of the law but who have very little consideration for the spirit of the law. He was quite disrespectful in his way and even authoritarian in his astute posture. For this, I found fancy in foiling his stature.

“Yes. I read the chapter multiple times over.”

He became exacerbated, particularly since I offered no other explanation at anytime during the long pause for silence.

“I can’t have this. I can’t accept this. This is just wrong.”

“No.” I replied. My retort was accurate. It was right.

“No what?”

“The answer is right. Look upon your cheat sheet. It correctly matches what you have there. Therefore, according to your very own means of judgment, your readily accepted and utterly proclaimed sense of right and wrong, it is right.”

“No. It is wrong. You did it all wrong.”

At this point, the diatribe drew upon the attention of the class, which was acutely focused upon the dance of an arrogant subset of individuals. I stood. The instructor sat half in his seat, while the other half worked to rise in frustration, except for the tactical advantage of an underling who literally stood above him. To escape the sunken seat of the throne at that very moment would have only worked to his disadvantage, divulging the inferiority of his physical position, as a rabbit who uneasily waits behind the bushes as a hunter passes, hoping he who seeks blood has no clue of the thinly veiled vulnerability that resides easily within reach.

“If you are now saying the answer is wrong, then your theorem is likewise wrong, for it renders the same result. But if you are saying that my methodology is wrong, then you are wrong, for it renders the very same result as does your readily accepted methodology, yet you are unwilling to accept it, since you fear what you fail to consider.”

Just then, during the prelude to the climax, the clock struck the hour and officially called to a close the class, but even still, the encore was yet to unfold, and therefor kept at bay the bulk of the class.

Now, being that I in certain terms had just turned over the desk from which he dictated, the repercussion was on the verge of volleying grave result. Therefore, an intersession accompanied by a well-announced olive branch was boastfully interjected in such a way that the Little Hero Of Holland held at bay a great mass of water with merely a finger. And likewise amid the moment, the class teetered upon the crux of implosion.

“Okay. If you find that the methodology does not work according to the stated result, which equals that stated in the book, then, you may rightfully fail me for the remainder of the class. But should the methodology work out correctly, according to the result so stated, then it will be graded as such.”

Going merely by the memory of some 15 years ago, I recall him officially calling the class to a close by dismissing us.

The next class, as he was handing back papers, perhaps during a test, he quietly called my name to receive my graded paper.

“I don’t know how you did it. I have never seen this before. I even brought it to the attention of the department faculty. It seems you have found a new theorem. Good work.”

I walked away and left it at that. My grade for the class was somewhere around a C- for that class. I don’t blame the guy. Between my frequent surfing trips to Baja and inconsistent homework, even a C- may have been undeserved.

Perhaps one day I will share just how daunting the study of literature and moreover writing courses were and how one college professor struck a sword through such difficulties, severing my ties with such trying tasks by delivering me unto understanding, as is referenced in 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV), where is said: “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.”

The Wrath Of Viscous Anger Revealed Through The Wisdom Of God’s Word

Anger often renders viscous consequences to those who have not control of it but instead are subject to its control. Throughout the course of my life, I have acquired great portions of reason and instruction in the elements of anger. Very few, throughout this time, have ever addressed it with such clarity as has the Bible’s array of lessons. And while I was introduced to the Bible at an early age, my foundations were scattered elsewhere, and therefore, the great ushering unto the Holy Word’s wisdom was primarily left untouched until my current quest, which is strengthened be a dutiful wife and church as well as a carefully assembled environment that I continually tend to as a gardener to his garden, weeding it of foul elements and encouraging that which is good to rise up in its life of glory.

This morning, as I overheard the lesson, I aimed my eyes wanderously upon the wall, while my hands worked the computer on monotonous task. I listened intently. The crux of instruction at hand was our son’s home school session, of which I was inadvertently aware of. For a moment, I glanced over at the five-year-old, his eyes razor sharp with intent, fixated upon the heart of his instruction, as it transitioned from spelling, into elements of grammar, history, wisdom and the very Word of God, as exists in Genesis Chapter 4, whereby the story of two brothers unfold, Cain and Abel.

As I listened, my eyes again wandered, unfocused and agape into the vastness of disassociation to the heart of my very quest, which held fast at the orated word eminating from Bible through the vessel of my wife’s lips. And as the chapter in history called to a close, my eyes began to take reigns once again of my surroundings with increasing focus, and there upon the wall, side by side, were two sisters, who themeselves are engaged in a highly similar circumstance of life as referenced in today’s lesson.

Well, if you are aware of whom I may be speaken, then behold this on behalf of those youth, and if not, your life will still be the better for reading God’s Word. And as a man, I understand full well the righteousness of a righteous anger but likewise understand through life experience its detrimental impact upon men, families, companies and even nations of the world.

Genesis 4 (King James Version)

1And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.   2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.   3And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.   4And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:   5But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.   6And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?   7If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.   8And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.   9And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?   10And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.   11And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand;   12When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.   13And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.   14Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.   15And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.

REVOLUTION: What The Bible Says About Civil Disobedience

A righteous warrior is an eagle with his eye upon the unjust. He is a hunter whose eyes are locked upon his prey with focus so intent that it pierces the very existence of his enemy like a sword. His enemy has lived a thousand deaths long before action is initiated. His heart emanates compassion for the oppressed. De Oppresso Liber is the purpose by which his heart pumps great vigor in the midst of overwhelming adversaries.

I am fashioned from my life experience. Although severely daunting at times and even in the depths of a destitute spirit, I have always adhered, to the best of my abilities, that these trials were nothing more than a field training exercise, preparation for a moment in history far greater myself, preparation for a purpose far greater than I myself can fathom.

Prior to any engagement, one must submit himself to that which is greatest, which is right. For the self is indeed the greatest cause for failure, the enemy its greatest benefactor.

With that, I have long considered the dynamics of obedience and even disobedience. And in this case, I speak with particular focus on the act of civil obedience and likewise civil war. I have performed much study on the subject and taken a great many notes. And even still, I have taken in and given great consideration to the principles therein. I have taken great moments to apply these principles to great moments in history and foreseen moments of the future.

So, without delving into the notes that are scattered throughout my life study, I will simply layout a few links to consider in your quest for civil war or unwavering submission to the unjust oppressor.
