Time Doesn't Exist

I think one of the main ways that people are controlled in life, is by our acceptance of the popular conception of time without critically thinking about what time is, because if one critically considers what our ideas regarding time are based upon, one will realize that it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.


THE FALLACY OF PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE

Take for example our idea of time basically consisting of the combination of what we call "past", "present", and "future".  Our working idea of the past has to do with what has already occurred, but isn't it true that what we are really discussing when we mention the past is only our memory (or written/oral history) of the past?  Further, it depends entirely upon only what was observed, which is itself dependent upon the observer along with whatever limited tools were used when the observation occurred.

Our idea of the present has to do with what is presently occurring, but there are problems with that idea as well.  To a large degree, we really have very little idea of what is presently occurring except that which we observe directly.  In other words, if you cannot directly observe what is presently occurring, then you must rely on anecdotal evidence of it, and even that is based upon incomplete information due to the fact that our senses and our technology for perceiving occurrences are both quite limited and narrow in their scope.  Finally our idea of the future, has only to do with what is likely to occur based upon all present and past circumstances, or an interrelationship between "processes-in-progress" and related modifying forces (or elements of chaos such as last-minute decisions).  In other words, the "future" is simply a set of interrelated probabilities, and is in no way set in stone as it were, so it's entire existence can only be speculated until it is observed in what we call the "present".

So let's get back to our idea of the present for a bit.  Since we cannot observe everything that is occurring at any one time, and can only observe what our senses and technologies allow us to observe, and further, since what our senses are capable of observing is usually limited to what we focus upon, which itself is based solely in a desire to focus upon it, we could rationally and more precisely think of the "present" as "desired and currently focused observations".  This definition actually jibes more easily with quantum discoveries of the behavior of "matter" as being influenced in its behavior by us noticing or focusing upon it.

So let's rethink our terminology to attempt to deduce the actuality of time.  For now, let's just call the "past" memory, since the term memory inescapably and necessarily includes mental images of observed occurrences/written histories/genetic memories, etc.  But by using this different terminology, we begin to see how the limitations in observable occurrences and the focus on what was actually recorded results in an incomplete record, as well as a dependance upon the awareness (and any lack thereof) of an observer.

By the same token, if we think of the "present" as "currently focused observations", and finally the "future" as "a set of probabilities", then we can begin to build a new model.

"Past" = Memory

"Present" = Currently Focused Observation (CFO)

"Future" = Set of Related Probabilities (SORP)

The reader should notice that at no point do our new terms violate the intended meanings nor the ramifications of the words they replace.  They are similar enough, and possibly even more precise than the terms past, present, and future.  We could even analogize "past, present, and future" to "memory, desire, and probability" respectively and still do no harm to the intended meanings of the former.

So now let's do some "Word Algebra" and a couple of logical rearrangements, shall we?

If "Past" is similar to "Memory", then let A = Past, and A! = Memory.

If "Present" is similar to "CFO", then let B = Present, and B! = CFO.

If Future is similar to "SORP", then let C = Future, and C! = SORP.

A and A! are functionally equivalent.

B and B! are functionally equivalent.

C and C! are functionally equivalent.

Now let's create a couple of memetic equations:

If A = Past, and B = Present, and C = Future, then let {A + B + C = "TIME"}

If A! = Memory, and B! = CFO, and C! = SORP, then let {A! + B! + C! = "NOW"}

(The reason I use the word NOW as the result of the second equation is because a "memory" of the past is always observed in the NOW, a 'Currently Focused Observation" is always done in the NOW, and any likely "Set of Related Probabilities" is also observed in the NOW, then the present or the NOW is the only observable, and therefore real, phenomenon.)

So, using these equations we can begin to really look at "time" more logically.  The question then becomes which of these two equations can best describe our definition of time.  Let's test:

Can A + B + C = NOW?  No.

Can A + B + C = TIME? Yes.

Can A! + B! + C! = NOW?  Yes.

Can A! + B! + C! = TIME? Yes.

If that is so, then can TIME = NOW and NOW =  TIME? 

Yes, because nothing about A!, B!, or C! violates our ideas about time.

THE CAMOUFLAGE OF CLOCKS AND CALENDARS

To further explore this idea, let's look at the two major methods by which we measure time: Clocks and Calendars.  Let's deal with clocks first.

In order for a device to qualify as a clock, it must measure three things: seconds, minutes, and hours.  24 hours = one day, or one full rotation of the earth.  60 minutes = one hour, or 1/24th of a full rotation of the earth.  60 seconds = one minute, or 1/1440th of a full rotation of the earth.  Notice how all of these definitions are all based solely upon the rotation of the earth.  I'll come back to that because it's an important observation.

The Gregorian or Western Calendar is the world's standard measurement of the aspects of time, namely days, weeks, months, years, etc.  However these terms are also themselves dependent upon the movement of planetary bodies.  Since we have defined days as full rotations of the earth on its axis, let's continue.  Weeks are then 7 full rotations of the earth, months are tricky because some months have a different number of days (rotations) than others and the determining factor of how many days per month seems to be quite arbitrary, and years are each a set of 365 rotations of the earth, or the time it takes the earth to make a full orbit around the sun.

Let's get back to months for a moment.  A month is roughly the length of a lunar cycle, give or take a few hours.  A lunar month is exactly 29.53 days, which if we round up, gets us 30 days.  If we divide 365.25 days (the length of  a full year) by 29.53, we get 12.4 months per year.  This 4/10ths of a month overage gets us into the reason why we use leap years, which is because of the imprecision of our Gregorian calendar.  If we had no leap years where an extra day is added to the end of February every 4th year, our calendar would be off by about 6 hours every year.  While 6 hours per year of variance doesn't seem like much, it adds up to being 24 days off every 100 years.

Okay, so let's think critically about calendars.  Each unit of measurement in a calendar depends entirely upon planetary movement.  And those moving planetary bodies reside only within our solar system.

So I want to pose a few key questions to expose the fragility of our time measurement system using clocks and calendars.

1) How would you measure time in a different solar system? 
2) How can you measure time precisely over long periods when the earth is slowing down in it's rotation year by year?
3) Could you accurately measure time if for some reason the earth stopped rotating?
4) Would time go in reverse if the earth somehow reversed it's rotation?

These questions, and their answers, serve to prove that our idea of time is not absolute since it is not the same everywhere and in all circumstances.  Time is not a law, nor is it a real part of the natural world.  Time is simply a means of measurement for the matrix that we call western civilization, and it is used because anything manufactured must have a means of measurement.  Time is manufactured and therefore illusory, if for no other reason than it depends upon an observer and methods of observation.

Let's now look critically at our idea that time only moves forward.  This is a most insidious fallacy because only clocks and calendars move forward, so we take a mental leap to say that time only moves forward.  However, and as always, "the map is not the territory".

Another mental leap is that we don't have access to the past because it has "already happened".  However, using our new definition of the past, namely memory, we always have access to memories so therefore we always have access to the past.  Further, if by using techniques such as hypnosis we can sufficiently change our memories of the past, then both our present and future will change accordingly.

If nothing else, I hope this expose drives home the necessity of an observer in all measurements of time.  Without an observer, time as we know it does not exist, and further, the focused awareness (or lack thereof) of said observer is of primary importance.  If the observer could not see the sun, or the moon, or understand exactly what a clock or calendar measures, then our ideas of time could not exist for them.  So then it follows that the presence of an observer cannot be divorced from the idea of time, because without that observer, time is meaningless and undefined.

The ramifications of that idea are immense.  It brings to mind the age-old question: "How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?"


TOWARDS A BETTER DEFINITION OF TIME

I looked up Google's definition of time and it included the following:

time
tīm/
noun
noun: time; plural noun: times

1.  the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole.
    "travel through space and time"
2.  a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon.
    "the time is 9:30"

I found this definition to be inadequate, since as with much of Western scientific thought, the presence of an observer, nor the focus of their observations or even consciousness is nowhere mentioned.  So I'd like to propose an alternative definition (which includes a reference to consciousness as a co-factor).

TIME: A measurement of the distance between discrete events which includes the set of all decisions, forces, and vectors separating those events.

Thus is time seen as a line connecting two or more points.  To illustrate, let's imagine the building of a house.  The process of building the house begins when the idea is formed, and then possibly planned on paper.  Once all of the building materials are collected and then assembled together, the process ends.  Time would be the line connecting discrete event A, which is the formation of the idea, and discrete event Z, which is the end of the construction process.  The movement of planetary bodies has a direct, yet unrelated affect upon the process, thus this movement should not even be considered in the time calculation.

Time only describes the process of the immaterial (ideas) becoming material, and then the material becoming historical (memories).

Faith is The Curse of Religion

Belief and doubt.  These are the poles of the false dichotomy which is generated by the use of religion as a moral baseline, as opposed to science aka 'observation'.

Believing in something which cannot be proven or reliably observed, and worse, defending the same sometimes to the death of a perceived disbeliever, or other adversary, is a ridiculous practice which has been made normal by the acceptance (and tolerance) of 'religion'.  

 

When something has been 'observed' as being true, valid, or authentic, anything to the contrary reveals itself to be a delusion (aka 'Apep').  Discernment is key.

 

This habit of rigorous belief in spite of contrary evidence, should be classified as a mental illness, not as something noble or upright.  Yet, false pride and intellectual laziness typically combine to keep one locked in their unproven and unprovable  position.  That reveals an emotional immaturity; immovable 'dogma' has no place in science or in life.

Adherence to the principle of Ma'at does away with all of this. When you only operate on the basis of what can be proven and observed, it simplifies everything.

Signs of Being Mentally Weak (copied from Quora Digest)

 

1. You care too much what other people think of you. Everyday, there’s a number of people who wake up, with the sole goal of becoming offended by you. Don’t disappoint them.
2. You can’t keep promises. I’m not even talking ’bout promises to others, but to yourself. Best example is working out: You told yourself you’d get into shape, but as soon as you tired from work or school, you won’t even go to the gym.
3. You get overwhelmed with the smallest problems and immediately throw your hands up and surrender. Nothing worthwhile in life comes easy or without failure, rejection and sacrifice. Don’t expect that everything is handed to you on a silver platter! I failed two businesses before I started one that did “okay”. I failed two relationships, before I met my dream wife. I failed at getting lean and muscular numerous times, before I got the “hang” of it….
4. You’ve been FAT for years but you’re doing NOTHING to fix it. Look, there’s nothing wrong with being fat. If that’s what you really want, then you do you. But…if deep down inside, you’d love to be lean, healthy and confident in your own skin, then why don’t you change?
5. You’re inauthentic. Contrary to what you might think, I wasn’t always as harsh and straight forward as I am now. In fact, I was a shy, timid, spineless idiot. I never spoke my truth and always agreed and smiled. Needless to say, my life was a mess. I was being used, manipulated and treated like a doormat. That was entirely my fault. I let it happen to me, because I couldn’t say “No.”
6. You’re a DDD (Dopamine Dependent Dreamer) and watch porn and play video games - Do you struggle with motivation? Do you struggle with being productive or keeping promises to yourself? Do you struggle to do hard things, like writing, reading “dry” texts, building a website, working out….? This might very well be, because you’re jackin’ off to porn or playing endless sessions of “League of Legends”. You see, our brains crave dopamine. Every time you engage in a behavior that’s fun, entertaining and engaging, your brain releases dopamine, which feels incredibly good to us and prompts us to repeat that behavior (pleasure and pain principle at work). Here’s the problem…You can train your brain to release dopamine to unhealthy and unproductive behaviors! Porn for example, feels incredibly good to us. It might even rival crack for that matter. The problem is, when you “spend” all your dopamine on porn, the hard things, the valuable task such as learning, reading, creating feel even MORE boring because there’s no immediate dopamine rush. It’s not exciting. It’s not highly stimulating. So, you won’t do it and thus..become mentally weaker and weaker.
7. You always WAIT for Motivation to Strike - This one is related to #6, but deserves to be a standalone. You’re always waiting to feel motivated to change your life, but because you never “feel” the motivation, you don’t do the hard stuff that’s necessary. Motivation will always be a fickle beast and you can’t rely on it to show up when you need it. That’s the bad news. The good news is, you can create motivation by ACTING as if you’re motivated. Motion beats meditation.

Sitri

The Seal of Sitri

Sitri is a spirit that I have employed previously in works related to his office.  He is quite effective at creating a lustful aura around a person, and creating sexual passion.

Most recently, I invoked Sitri to create an atmosphere of lust around me, in order that I might seduce a sexy and quite selective young woman that I'd had my eye on for some time. 

The operation itself was simple.  I meditated upon the Seal of Sitri and called upon him by name until the air shifted and he became aware of me.  I spoke my desire, and he obliged.  While I was en route to her apartment, I chanted the name of Sitri and then I fine-tuned my desires with subsequent instructions.  Sitri indicated that none of my requests would be a problem. Sitri came through with flying colors.

My request to Sitri resulted in quite a satisfying experience with my target, for me and for her, and also plans to meet again for another encounter.  I would call this experience a complete success, and cannot imagine how it could have gone better than it did.  

I am glad I called upon Sitri to create the energy around me (and around my target) that I requested.  Thank you Sitri, for your aid.

Hail Paimon!

King Paimon is the 9th spirit of the Goetia in the Lesser Key of Solomon.  Many sorcerers have worked with him, but I'd never had a reason to do so personally until recently.  Some have said that Paimon is actually Azazel, and that may be true or it may not be, I have no real opinion on it.

I'd run in to a number of frustratingly persistent business problems, some of my own making due to attempting to grow my business too quickly and hiring more people than I actually needed.  I was hoping that I could thereby extricate myself from the day-to-day operations somewhat, and get more into a managerial/sales role which is more my niche.  That turned out to be a costly miscalculation on my part.

As usual, when I run into business problems I turn to magick, and this case was no different.  Most times when I'm perplexed as to which spirit I will call upon for aid, I listen for the advice of my guardian/companion spirits or my servitors.  In this particular instance, Paimon's name came through loudly and clearly, so I began researching him in order to become familiar with him.  Then I did a tarot reading with him in mind to see how working with him was likely to turn out.  After the reading turned out positive, I set a date to evoke Paimon.

The evocation was very simply done.  I aligned with the West as it is said that he has his seat there, and arranged a few offerings for him along with some props.  When he arrived, his presence was felt, and the fanfare which by many accounts usually accompanies him was also heard.  I could see him in my mind's eye sitting upon the dromedary, although he was larger than I expected.  He was very cordial, and I could sense that he and I would become allied to some degree as I felt very comfortable with him.  I've felt that way before about other spirits, such as Belial, but this was a bit different in an indescribable way.

Anyway, I am pleased to say that as of yesterday, which was 11 days since I called upon him (I called upon him on the 11th), he came through with flying colors.  Not only did he do everything I asked of him, he helped uproot the main problem, and also helped me see where I'd originally gone wrong.  My petition was answered in an unexpected, yet very satisfactory way.

The humorous thing about it was that at the precise moment when I suddenly realized that he had been the one behind the positive developments of the past nearly two weeks, someone's car horn began blaring outside for an inordinately long time (this doesn't happen often in my neighborhood, especially not at 11:30 on a weeknight), which to me goes back to the "fanfare" that he is known for.  It was like he was saying "helllooooo, it was meeeee".  I found it funny and chuckled, telling him "well played".

I do look forward to calling upon him again.  My thanks to King Paimon for his aid.

The Fall of "A Living God"?

"When you set yourself up as a "Living God", prepare to be crucified for it."

As many know by now, the occult writer known as E.A. Koetting, purveyor of "Become A Living God" and related publications was arrested the other day during a traffic stop.  During this stop, various drugs and a gun were allegedly recovered by the officers on the scene, and the "Living God" himself was then taken into custody, along with a roommate.  He and the roommate reportedly have since posted bail and are awaiting the next steps in the legal process.

Since this occurred, many occultists on Facebook and elsewhere have offered their take on these events, some with barely restrained glee, and others with a more balanced approach to their commentary.  It seems obvious that many have been waiting for just this sort of thing to happen to Mr. Koetting.  This is to be expected, because Mr. Koetting's claims of supposedly near-godlike powers, disclosures of numerous "magickal homicides" "archangelic rapes" etc., along with his infomercial-styled marketing methods, seem to have made many people rather resentful of him.  Others feel that he has exposed formerly secret teachings to the "profane" in a grand scheme to get rich "at the expense of the gullible".  Again, tacky marketing methods aside, all of this was to be expected.  Proclaim yourself king of the hill, and then watch as the long line of those who want to knock you off of that hill forms.

It is a fact of life that you cannot become successful without making a few enemies along the way, some of whom will be unknown to you.  These people may not all be actively working against you, but they're not going to shed tears if a life-altering misfortune befalls you either.  Some will even kick you when you're down, making you wonder what you did to them personally to make them hate you so much.

Some of the online commentary I've read has included shock that Mr. Koetting has a day job (gasp!), and is said to be employed as a carpet cleaner in his mundane life.  Others had no idea (myself included) that "E. A. Koetting" is a pseudonym and not the author's real name.  Some have speculated that Koetting ran afoul of another magickal group with which he may have had some contention, and this situation resulted from their magickal attacks upon him.  I have no idea if that's what actually happened, although I'm sure it's possible.


It's no secret that I, and many others, have found a lot of value in Koetting's magickal methods.  I still think his "Book of Azazel" is an inspired work, along with a few of his other titles, most of which I've read, some more than once.  Specifically, his teachings on evocation radically altered my magickal practice and resulted in experiences for me that I would not have had otherwise.  The divination training course that he offered had a similar effect on my work, although not to as great a degree.  

For these reasons I have been very appreciative to him for his years of work and dedication to the arts magickal, just as I have been appreciative of other influences on what I do magickally, such as Jason "Inominandum" Miller, Donald Michael Kraig, Cat Yronwode, Aaron Leitch, Michael W. Ford, Lon Milo Duquette, Phil Hine, Peter Carroll, and countless others.  I have also found great value in the works of Aleister Crowley, who is another occultist who battled his own personal demons, albeit unsuccessfully.


The "personal demon" angle for this recent Koetting situation was the most impactful for me, and hit home the hardest.  Many of us have gone into extended and pitched warfare against our personal demons, myself included.  Mr. Koetting has himself said on numerous occasions that he suffered through a horrible upbringing as a child.  I can say the same (maybe I'll write about it one day), as can many others.  Unfortunately we can't pick our parents, and it is nearly a given that children who are severely emotionally damaged by their childhood experiences tend to become substance abusers as adults, depending upon the level of damage and types of abuses they suffered.

Am I implying that the drugs found in the car during this stop were likely Mr. Koetting's?  No.  But I'm also not saying they weren't, because I don't know one way or the other what belonged to whom, and neither does anyone else outside of him and his roommate.  The point I'm making is that many who have suffered emotionally during their early lives sometimes retain unresolved issues well into their adulthood.  I'm also saying "There, but for the grace of Goddess, go I."  

Unless you've lived a person's life, you have no real clue what struggles they're dealing with on an ongoing basis.  Some succeed at binding and/or reintegrating their personal demons, while others' demons have their hellish way with them until death.  Some stay clean and sober for years, while others relapse every other month.  That's life.


But to be fair, and before anyone accuses me of undue sympathy for Mr. Koetting, I should point out that I am against "compulsive" drug use of any kind, no matter the drug (pharmaceuticals included).  My personal stance also includes excessive and unrestrained alcohol consumption.  This stance has absolutely nothing to do with any moralizing or pontification, a la "Just Say No", but instead has everything to do with becoming fully sovereign over one's life, which by definition cannot include any addictions or compulsive drug use.  That is part of the main message found within the Luciferian philosophy as far as I've understood it.  And that evolution from rampant addiction to relative normalcy is usually a process, one which requires active effort and almost never happens overnight.

So does my herein publicly-declared stance mean that I always stick to "one or two drinks" as intended when I'm out with friends or with my girlfriend?  Nope.  But it does mean that I am consciously aware of that particular struggle, have set my own standard by which to live (whether I always fully meet it or not), and fully recognize and celebrate my progress in that area over the years.  

I am one of those who only 9 or 10 years ago would be inebriated 4 or 5 nights out of any random week, and basically took the other 2-3 nights off for recovery.  I don't drink alcohol at all now, unless it's in ritual.  Believe it or not, Lucifer was the one who helped me quit drinking, which throws the Bible's narrative right out the window.


I am one who used to get addicted to everything I ever tried, and I've done it all, but am now one who has been clean from any unprescribed medications or drugs for over 15 years.



Does any of that disclosure mean that I look down upon those who choose to partake in drugs or alcohol, however frequently or in whatever amounts?  Not even slightly.  In fact, I envy those who can stop precisely when they choose to (and not just because they've run out of money).  I envy those who grew up in good homes and have had no comparable damage done to their developing young psyches.  I envy those who haven't gone through what I've gone through in life due to consequences for substance abuses of one sort or another.  I also envy those who have always remained clean and sober throughout their entire lives.  

 
So I'm not trying to put myself on a pedestal by any means.  Far from it, because I know better than anyone that I still have a lot of inner work left to do; this is indeed a work in progress.  I'm probably still somewhat in danger of relapsing in one way or another if I get around the wrong people for long enough, even after all these years, which is why I don't deal with any of my former bar friends at all, not even returning their (gradually more infrequent) calls.  

 

I'd much rather be friendless than to be a drunk or an addict if those are my options.  Being true to Luciferianism as I understand it is far more important to me than any of that, and I will not be a hypocrite about the fact that I was at war with it.  I just happened to beat it.


I am also against riding around with illegal substances and illegal firearms in a car like what he did, albeit for different reasons.  Even if you do it frequently, and seem to get away with it, you only need to be caught once for it to go really badly.  Growing up back home as a young man, I've seen this happen over and over, where a routine traffic stop turns into a 3-to-5 year or longer prison sentence for some unlucky individual - it's almost a cliche to me.  

It's just really dumb to ride around like that, especially when you have a lot to lose if you're caught; sorry there's just no other way to put that.  And that isn't directed at Koetting specifically by any means (not that he'll read this), because how many athletes, entertainers, and others get caught doing the exact same thing the exact same way?  Believe it or not, police rely on traffic stops to make the vast majority of their drug and firearm arrests, so even if you're going to "ride dirty" on occasion at least be vigilant about it while in traffic.  Keep your car insured and legal to be on the road, abide the speed limit, come to a complete stop, etc.

(Again, I don't know the specifics of the case, or the backstory, so it could still turn out that Koetting was actually an innocent bystander in all this.  We'll see what he says happened when he addresses this situation himself.) 


As occultists, we have proven techniques and methods to discover and handle our demons more effectively than many other types of people.  It seems that the Hermetically-derived Western Tradition of magickal practice is well-constructed for just that, and that alone comprises a good portion of its appeal for me.  Many of my own emotional wounds have been healed as a result of meditation, along with long-overdue closure on painful and tragic childhood events for which I had no rationalizations prior to coming onto this path.


I'm really just saying that magick works if you work it, and not just for getting jobs and bedmates, although you still have to be vigilant and use common sense.  Sure, magick is great for manifesting jobs and bedmates, but it can do so much more than that if you direct it to.  It can help you make sense of yourself and your current and former relationships.  It can reveal things to you about yourself that you would never have otherwise discovered.  It can even transform you from being a drug-and-alcohol-addicted, felonious, constantly-angry, black male statistic like I was, into a gradually more dignified and respectable grown man over time. 
 
In closing, the main takeaway from this situation for me was the primary importance of practitioners actually doing the inner work on ourselves so that these sorts of personal demons are better managed and can't easily create these types of unfortunate situations for us.  Crowley failed miserably at this, and perhaps Koetting has also, although each has demonstrated above-average magickal prowess and the ability to make obscure magickal concepts much easier to understand.  (Ok, I take that last part back, Crowley is still pretty obscure.)  This statement doesn't at all mean that I equate Koetting with Crowley because I can't make that equation; I am simply using Crowley's struggles as an example to make my point.

Koetting may also have failed so far at becoming a bonafide "Living God" as indicated by his recent woes, but this same tortured literary savant who can channel and develop a classic occult work like "The Book of Azazel" along with the Mastering Evocation/Divination/Soul Travel courses, can also bounce back from this, hopefully stronger and more focused than ever.   I hope he learns a lot from this experience, and grows from it, whether he escapes having to do time or not.  If indeed the drugs were his, then I hope he makes it a priority to do the necessary inner work to quell that proclivity and get a solid handle on it.  Maybe during the process he'll learn some Jedi mind tricks to use on the next cop.  One thing he'll learn for sure during this process, as I did, is that those who are still with you when things go badly, are more than likely those who were always with you.


I for one am looking forward to his next work, instead of his next headline.  Why?  Because "There, but for the grace of Goddess, go I."

A Different Spin on Gravity

Greetings,

Ok, I'm going to take a break from black magick with this post to document an idea I had the other week.

I have this thing about trees.  I love being around them, especially in highly wooded areas.  There's a park not far from my house where I sometimes go to clear my mind.

So anyway, I was checking out this tree, and the thought occurred to me: "What if the tree isn't actually growing up, but instead is growing OUT?"  I'll explain.

What if what we call gravity doesn't actually exist at all as the force they claim it is.  I'm admittedly not a physicist, and I know that sounds nuts, but follow the thought process for a minute.

What if trees are basically hanging onto the earth by their roots, but are just sort of hanging into the sky and by extension, space.  We know that for those living on a rotating sphere, there is no real up or down, it's all perspective.  So if there's no real "up" as we like to think, maybe the trees (and other plants) are growing "out" because of the centrifugal forces of the earth's spin.  We know there must be a force that causes most plants to grow toward the sun and sky.  Let's take it further.

What if we (people), along with everything else, are not being pulled down to the earth by whatever is at the core as we've all been taught, but instead are being pushed down to the earth by whatever is in space?  What if all of the stars, planets, moons, and everything that is in rotation is throwing off centrifugal forces in all directions, which balances everything else in the galaxy or universe.

Could what we call "gravity" actually be a manifestation of the average of centrifugal forces from space pushing down on everything on the surface along with the centrifugal forces from the earth pushing up?

If you could somehow cancel the centrifugal forces from space, would that help you levitate by riding the waves of centrifugal forces on the earth?  Is that how the pyramids were built?

We know that sound can cause levitation effects.  We've seen it occur plenty of times - I just saw someone do it on America's Got Talent, and stories and videos are all over YouTube which show it as well.  Maybe specific sound frequencies can cancel or disrupt the earth's centrifugal force causing an object to float.

Isn't this a much simpler idea than the problematic idea of gravity?  Did you know that they really don't have much of a working definition of gravity other than: "It's a force that draws things down to the center of the earth".  Add to that, physicists when trying to reconcile Newtons Laws with the relativity and quantum theories of Einstein run into plenty of inconsistencies in their calculations with regard to gravity.  They reconcile some of those inconsistencies by relating gravity to magnetism, but "gravity" affects things which aren't magnetic, so how exactly does that work?

Long story short, they don't really know what gravity is, and can't really define it, they just "know" what it does.  That's not a definition.  Why should anyone believe in something that doesn't have a REAL (as opposed to a working) definition, especially when a real definition CAN'T be provided?  They can't even prove that what they call gravity exists at all as a force separate from magnetism or from centrifugal forces, let alone that it's a "law".  We just know we don't fly off into space as a result of the earth's spin, but no one can explain why without using a bunch of arcane equations that few people understand.

Sorry, but I just don't think nature is that complicated where it needs equations which are 3 city blocks long in order to describe it, or to describe how it works.

Anyway, not to belabor the point but I'd love to hear someone else's take on this idea.  It's really just an intriguing possibility, and I'm not saying gravity doesn't exist because I don't actually know whether it exists or not, at least in the way that they describe it.

Where's Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Michio Kaku when you need them?
