Time And Man بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الْإِنسَانِ حِينٌ مِّنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُن شَيْئًا مَّذْكُورًا 76:1

76: 1 Do you come onto (discover/discern) the Human at some point in Time (during an Age) it is not something Mentioned (Thought of/Remembered)?

The classical interpretation of 76:1 is something along the lines: 'Has there come upon man any period of time in which he was a thing not mentioned/unremembered?'

And it generally is an acceptable interpretation if 'هَلْ ' is given a range of poetic license to mean 'has there' or 'was there ever,' but it seems the primary meaning of 'hal?' is 'do you?' But if 'هَلْ ' is used literally as 'Do you..' then the rest of 76:1 only makes sense if it is understood to be a direct inquiry regarding a direct observation by 'you' about ' الْإِنسَانِ ' or 'the Human', 'Man' (mankind in general). The predicate pronoun is a gender neutral ' لَمْ يَكُن ' or 'it was/is' when referring to 'it' as something not yet mentioned; a way to initially call something that has yet to be identified animate or named (as he, she, or they, etc.).

103 Al'Asr (The Epoch/Age/Era/Times/Period/Eon)وَالْعَصْرِ 103:1
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْر 103:2

103:1 And (Consider) The Times
103:2 Indeed, the Human (Humanity, Mankind, Man) because in (it) is lost (at a loss;absorbed).

Chapter 103 is a terse verse of 3 Signs and these first 2 Signs condense in a few simple words exactly what is Mankind's Predicament; that Mankind is distracted by the Times/Epoch they are in; they are 'Lost' to it because they are actively participating in it; literally, 'for in is lost.' The balance of the Signs offers a way to dispel the situation; the 'out,' if you will, for this quandary.

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ 103:3

103:3 Except for those who Believe and Do Good (the Beautiful things) and Counsel (each other)in Truth (to do Right) and Counsel (each other) Patience.

This post is meant to be a serious discourse about Time and our perception of it; but since it is True that I have a tendency to get 'lost in The Times' (The Los Angeles Times, that is) and Tim Rickard went ahead and 'killed' Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! in yesterday's funny, I turned my attention to The New York Times science section, Science Times, today. Above the fold, on the front page of that section was a drawing by Daniel Tammet, a young man who is a math and linguistic savant afflicted with Asperger's syndrome. Daniel's illustration depicts how he sees numbers, and I have reprinted it here after having added my captions to what each numeric icon means in terms of what is going on at A Page In The Life and UFOs (consider the number 4 'chevron' and the number 12 'Triangle UFO').

It is interesting that Daniel chose to illustrate up to 12 counts, i.e., duodecimal (Base-12). While computers process internally using binary (Base-2), and we predominately count using Base-10 (decimal), the duodecimal system is much easier to reckon the count of Time. It is also easy to multiply and divide, add and subtract in Base-12 as in Base-10. The fact that 12 has 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 as factors makes it very useful.

As for Time, there are 24 hours in a day and each day is divided into 12-hour cycles, which may be further subdivided into four 6-hour segments of morning, afternoon, evening and night. Traditionally, 12 is also the basis for printing such as points, pica, and the combination of Base-10 and Base-12 resolutions for dpi.

When first examining 'Is There Life After Death' the idea of Time Perception was mentioned. There are 2 aspects of Time, the Actual Time that exists due to the Universal Clock Mechanism (The Sun, The Planets, The Moon, The Stars, Orbiting, Revolving, Rising (Ascension), Setting, etc.) and the Perceived Time that exists because of a Human's perception (either directly by watching a clock, observing natural phenomenon, or indirectly flowing through us when we are engaged in activity or inactivity or dreams).

The Physical count of Time (Actual Time) is indeed dozenal, the Quran mentions our dividing and calculating it based on a duodecimal system (Base-12) and some of its factors (2, 4, 6).

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَاتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ
أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالأَمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ 7:54

7:54 It is Your Lord God that Created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 Days (Eons) and then Established Himself Dominion (the Throne over them); He obscures the Day with the Night; they vigorously pursue (request) His (Command); and the Sun and the Moon and the Stars are subject to His Command (Order, Arrangement, Will); His is the Creation and the Commandment, Blessed Be God, The Lord (Sustainer/Keeper) of the Worlds.

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَات وَالأَرْضَ
مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ذَلِكَ الدِّينُ الْقَيِّمُ فَلاَ تَظْلِمُواْ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ
وَقَاتِلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةً وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللّهَ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ 9:36

9:36 The count of Months according to God is 12 Months; in God's Book (Record) the Day He Created the Heavens and the Earth of them 4 are Sacred; that is the Way (Law) so do not Wrong yourselves in them and fight the faithless (idolators) as they fight you; and know that God is with the Pious.

وَجَعَلْنَا اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ فَمَحَوْنَا آيَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَجَعَلْنَا آيَةَ النَّهَارِ مُبْصِرَةً لِتَبْتَغُواْ
فَضْلاً مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَلِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ وَالْحِسَابَ وَكُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَصَّلْنَاهُ تَفْصِيلاً 17:12

17:12 And We Made the Night and the Day 2 Signs; And We Efface the Sign of Night and Made the Sign of Daylight for you to See by it so that you may seek God’s Bounty and to learn (know)the count/reckoning of the Years and to calculate and everything We have Explained (Separated) Clearly.

هُوَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاء وَالْقَمَرَ نُورًا وَقَدَّرَهُ مَنَازِلَ لِتَعْلَمُواْ عَدَدَ السِّنِينَ
وَالْحِسَابَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّهُ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ يُفَصِّلُ الآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ 10:5

10:5 It is He Who Made the Sun a Light (source) and the Moon a Light (reflector) and Appointed for it Phases that you may know the count of the years and the calculating (of time); God did not Create this except in Truth; He Clarifies (Separates/Distinguishes) the Signs for People who Think (Consider). (Note: There are 8 phases to the Moon 2*4)
By contrast our Perceived Time is mentioned throughout the Quran as being based on a decimal system; 1,000 years or 50,000 years or 10 days, etc.

وَيَسْتَعْجِلُونَكَ بِالْعَذَابِ وَلَن يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ وَإِنَّ يَوْمًا عِندَ رَبِّكَ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ 22:47

22:47...and a Day to God is like 1,000 years by your reckoning

يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ مِنَ السَّمَاء إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ يَعْرُجُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ 32:5

32:5 The Commandment is Procured from Heaven to Earth then it Ascends to Him in a Day like an Amount of 1,000 years (periods/ages) by your accounting

يَتَخَافَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا 20:103
نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا 20:104

20:103 they estimate among themselves that they were broadcast (went about)
for only 10 (days)
20:104 We Know what they say when those who know the Way tell them that
'You were broadcast (had gone about) merely a day.'

تَعْرُجُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ 70:4

70:4 The Angels and The Spirit Ascend to Him in a Day like the Amount of 50,000 Years (Ages, Periods)

What Inner Truth governs why objective time has as its basis the number 12 and subjective time is based on the number 10 escapes me for now. But taking a second look at Daniel's drawing above and its serendipidous happenstance that I found it in the paper shortly after having started this post, begs for searching it for more clues. 'Daniel tends to see numbers each integer up to 10,000 has its own unique shape, colour, texture and feel.'

It seems like Daniel's first 12 numbers illustrate Origination to Resurrection, and if we can get Daniel to illustrate all 10,000 integers that he 'sees' we just might be able to decipher his experience of what the future holds.

Six's And Seven's, As Above... So Below

"The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes."
--Andre Gide

If you ever played Jacks, you know the idea is to to gather as many of them in your hand on one bounce of the ball before it comes back down.

Having taken a recent Inventory of the Chapters discussed so far, it quickly became obvious that there was a large swathe of Chapters in the 60's that had not been presented for comment; only 65 and 68 had actual citations.

If you were paying attention the number 6 came up earlier and its connection to Carbon along with the set of 6 companions or 3 sets of pairs/duals each individual comprises; those being on the Starboard, Larboard, and Bow positions (A Tree, an Apple, a Wineskin) . And one shorthand way to describe Human at all 3 positions is (6,6,6).

Tabulating the 10 chapters in the 60's and their corresponding number of Signs, an interesting pattern emerged by simply taking the difference between the number of Signs in each consecutive Chapter, as indicated below.


If each set of 3 differences are taken together and assuming the 0 is a separator; one way to consider these numbers (1.3), (7.6), and (18.22) is as human chromosome locations. I think it goes something like chromosome 1 band 3, etc.

Having mentioned lipids/fatty acids earlier, it would be interesting to note the mechanism for fatty acid messaging and these chromosome locations. Two diseases prevalent in the population that are connected to fatty acids and mRNA are diabetes and obesity; but there may be others specific to the disclosed chromosomes that an accommodating Geneticist may help answer. While this might not be the only significance attached to this numerical pattern, it seemed the most obvious.

I can get away with making these types of sweeping statements and 'hazard' such guesses because I am getting used to being at 6's and 7's with you. (And I never want to hear that your mother never taught you anything.)

As we continually gain proficiency in amassing, archiving and programming information to the extent that we already impart 'knowledge' to sub-human species and create artificial intelligence systems , the demarcation between what separates our intelligence from that of the rest of Creation gets fuzzy-er. But if there is still one attribute remaining that sets Humans apart from the rest of Creation, it is that we can manipulate a writing implement easily and that we can write creatively; and this ability more than any other factor delineates what it is to be Human:

68 Qalam (The Pen, Writing Implement)
ن وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ 68:1
مَا أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ 68:2
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ 68:3
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ 68:4
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ 68:5
بِأَييِّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ 68:6
.
.
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ 68:52

68:1 Nuun. By the Pen and what they Write...
68:2 You are not, by your Sustainer’s Favor, crazy (irrational/mad).
68:3 And, indeed, for you is an Unfailing Reward of Goodness.
68:4 And, indeed, you are Creating Tremendous Good.
68:5 You shall see, and they shall see,
68:6 Which of you is the demented.
.
.
68:52 And this is nothing except a Reminder to the Worlds.

And unlike the rest of all Creation, we question why we are here, and why we are given Life only to have to eventually 'succumb' to Death.

67 Mulk (The Dominion)الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ 67:2
الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَّا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِن تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِن فُطُورٍ 67:3

67:2 He Created Death and Life to try you; which of you is best
(most beautiful) in conduct (deed); and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving…
67:3 Who Created seven heavens (multiple) echelon. You can see no
inconsistency (disproportion) in the Beneficent’s Creation;
then look again; Can you see any rift (fissure/aperture/break)?

Careful scrutiny of our Humanity through the Ages will uncover the fact that no Force has shaped us (literally and figuratively) more than our assimilation of Knowledge; not Wars or Conquests or near obliteration by either Man-made or Natural Disasters. Knowledge increases our Self-Awareness and it propels our Evolution; it is the Prime Mover behind shifting paradigms in our Psyche, Intelligence and even our Physical Body. Our Response to Knowledge changes our Environment which in turn Shapes us.

62 Jumu'ah (Congregation)



62:2 هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ
وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِين
وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ 62:3

62:2 It is He who sent among the illiterates (unlettered, those lacking
Scripture) a messenger from their midst to recite to them the Signs and to
raise them (thereby) and to teach them the Book (Scripture) and Judgment;
indeed they were obviously astray (in the dark).
62:3 And those from among them who will later follow them. He is the Mighty,
the Wise.

And this is why the most effective tool God can give us for our own benefit is Knowledge; it is the Fountainhead from which all else springs; like Water to Dry Land, it leads to growth in all its aspects that includes but is not limited to reproduction, development, love (caring/respect/appreciation), creation and perfection (completion).

65 Talaq (Divorce)
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا 65:12
65:12 It is God who Created seven heavens (smwat), and of the earth similar to them. The Commandments propagate throughout them such that you learn (come to know) that God is indeed Able to do all things, and that God Encompasses (Surrounds) all things in Knowledge.

With Knowledge and Growth and as with any Dynamic Process under Flow, there may be turbulence and not all points are going to change at the same time to the same effect. That's why we are all at different points of development not only compared to each other but within our own beings; for example, our intelligence may not have caught up with our physique or emotional maturity. This can and does lead to major disruptions in how we deal with each other because we are not 'all on the same page.'
63 Munafiqun (Hypocrites)
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ
كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ
هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ 63:4

63:4 And when you see them you will find their forms (figures/bodies) most
remarkable; and if they speak, you heed their speech. They’re as if they
were propped up wood. They think every call is against them. They are
adversarial, so beware of them. God fought them for indeed they are not whole.
(Alternatively, 'God fights for their completion').

It is only Reasonable to conclude that such a vast investment in development over one's Lifetime was never actually intended to simply go to Waste and become reduced to mere Dust upon one's Death, and why it is so Imperative to learn that Resurrection is the Reality. An Ultimate Accounting for what you had been doing over the course of your erstwhile life once your body does hit the dirt, as Promised from the God that Formed you.

That there Truly is more to Life and Death than you were lead to believe by those who do not understand the Ultimate Reality, either because their Journey has not taken them so far or because they simply Despair of having to Account for what they do. In this respect, a Call to 'Help God' or be 'God's Helpers', is not because God needs assistance, but in order for you to help yourself by keeping you and those you Love away from the Punishment that is just as likely to ensue for bad deeds as the Reward you get for the good ones. Death is necessary to signal a time for the Final Tally and Help God Not To Have to Punish you; and that is why the Warnings and the Messages keep coming--to give you every chance to mend before the inevitable happens.
60 Mumtahina (She Who Is Tested/Examined)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقُبُورِ 60:13
60:13 All you Believers! Do not extend/follow those who earned God’s wrath for they doubt the Hereafter (just) as the Disbelievers are uncertain about those in their graves. (They do not believe in Resurrection)

61 Saff (Arrayed/Arranged)

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا كُونوا أَنصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ
قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللَّهِ فَآَمَنَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
وَكَفَرَت طَّائِفَةٌ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ 61:14
61:14 All you who are Believers! Be God’s helpers, like when Jesus, Son of Mary, said to Al-Houaryoon (the Disciples): “Who shall be God’s helpers?” They said, “ We are God's helpers.” And a sect of the B’Nai Israel (Children of Israel) believed, while a sect disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their rivals and they became visible (evident victors).
66 Tahrem (Forbidding/Avoiding)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ 66:6
66:6 All you Believers! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire fueled with people and stones; tended by Angels strong, severe; they do not resist any of God’s Commands and they do all that they are Commanded.
And the Fight to this End is of such Vital Importance, that God can Orchestrate the Battle so that the Believers Move en masse as One Body:
61 Saff (Arrayed/Arranged)
ِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ 61:4
61:4 (Know) That God Loves those who fight for His Cause Arrayed as if they are a 'Solid Structure'. (A 'Leaded Column'; refer to the image of chromosomes above and relate their similitude to 'leaded columns')
The Fight is to Find the Truth so that Judgment is Rendered Accordingly, it's why all the Books get written, and if you like the Book of Revelation, here it is without all of the mystery ...
(In short form; it clarifies the difference between God and criminals-- He gives Ample Warning and you always know EXACTLY Why!)

69 Al-Haqqah (The Truth)الْحَاقَّةُ 1: 69
69:1 The Truth!

مَا الْحَاقَّةُ 69:2
69:2 What is The Truth?

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ 69:3
69:3 And Who Taught you what The Truth is?

فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ 69:13
69:13 If the trumpet is blown with a single breath (If a single breath is blown into the Images)

وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً 69:14
69:14 and the Earth and the Mountains are struck and are picked up with a single beat (strike)

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ 69:15
69:15 And so, that which was announced ensues

وَانشَقَّتِ السَّمَاء فَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ 69:16
69:16 and the Sky is torn - for, it would become fragile that Day

وَالْمَلَكُ عَلَى أَرْجَائِهَا وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ 69:17
69:17 and the Angels at its corners, bearing Your Sustainer’s Throne aloft on that Day, Octet

يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَى مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ 69:18
69:18 On that Day you shall be Shown-- not the most deeply buried (secreted) of your deeds will remain concealed.


So the Quest to to Find the Truth--not only behind what motivated you to do things in your life, but every nuance of your actions and your intentions--all Counts toward the Final Judgment and Determines whether You get to Continue on as you Are or be Dispensed with in some other fashion.

64 Taghabun (Mutual Loss and Gain/Adjustment)
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ 64:12

64:12 Obey God and obey His messenger; but if you turn away, the only duty of Our messenger is to convey (the message) plainly (clearly).

Jinn, I Win!

By now I know they've called me just about every name there is, but the only thing You have found really wrong with me is my exercising 'too much self- restraint', as if that's a bad thing.

When I write these things, I convince myself that I am sending them into the great Unknown, and judging by the trivial amount of traffic this site gets, the Void is more like it; but once in a while someone leaves a comment or pulls up the page with a search phrase that makes me think these peregrinations are reaching a much wider audience than is within my ken.

Having responded to a recent comment yesterday addressing what I thought was the main point Anonymous was getting at, I came to realize there was a secondary issue Anonymous brought up that needed more than a 1 or 2 sentence response. Along with major points Anonymous was trying to make about their take on Angels and Demons, or How to Resurrect the Gospel, he? mentioned praying.
..

Specifically, Anonymous said,


'...Everyone prays but few believe that they are being heard and
that their prayers have the slightest chance of being answered. What if they
were? How many times have you prayed for someone to go to Hell.
Which one cannot do on his own. But it is a form of prayer on (sic)
some soften it with I wish rather than I pray....'

By 'you', I didn't know whether they meant 'you' in general, or whether the question was directed at me in particular; so I can't just let this one go thinking this is any way to pray.

When praying, it is important to guard one's prayers. Mine must be very tightly guarded since Anonymous doesn't even come close to guessing what's in them. But since Anonymous teaches the Bible and, as a natural outcome, is probably teaching his students prayer, it is important to have the right formula for prayer.

Some things to exclude, or guard one's prayers against are:

Asking for Material Things

Presuming to tell God what to do (even if its shaped as a Wish)

I found it appalling that someone would pray that someone else goes to Hell or that Anonymous might think that's what I pray for. That's not what prayers are for.

Prayers are meant to reinforce such parts of your experience that shape your Reality. Take for example, The Lord's Prayer which contains these key elements:

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven....Give Us This Day...Deliver Us....Thy
Kingdom...Thy Will...Earth...Heaven...

Since Jonah was mentioned in earlier posts, here is an example of how he prayed (paraphrasing):

'Forgive me Lord, I know I have been among the Lost
(Oppressive)'

And I hope Anonymous is not disappointed to find out that the following is one of my most often repeated prayers:

'I hope my children are always (all ways) a Pleasure to Your Eyes.'

Chapter 72 deals with that alternative life form, we call Jinn, and it relates that they are made up of communities and have diverging beliefs and follow different creeds just like the Human counterpart. It is a discourse on how some were/are receptive to the Message, which they find Reasonable. But what is really intriguing is their allusion to having the ability to 'listen in' or 'sense lightly (remotely)' the things that go on in Heaven (the Sky above them). And how these Heavenly goings-on are guarded and those trying to become privvy to (spy on) them do so at some cost to themselves, if they are not among those invited to listen.

72:26 عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَلَا يُظْهِرُ عَلَى غَيْبِهِ أَحَدًا
72:27 إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضَى مِن رَّسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَدًا
72:28 لِيَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ أَبْلَغُوا رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَأَحَاطَ بِمَا لَدَيْهِمْ وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَدًا

72:26 Only He Knows the Unseen and does not Reveal His Secrets to anyone
72:27 Except whom He embraces for a messenger and only then Exhibits what is in His Hand and he is guarded/monitored at the back (supported)
72:28 To know (So they may know) he has recounted (reported what was consigned to him) the Messages of his Lord and He Encompasses (takes into Account) what is given them; everything numbered (enumerated).

As for the rest of it, and on a lighter note, you thought I didn't get it (understand)--just because you know I have over-extended the single brain cell I have left and I act the part doesn't mean I really am an idiot-- "You See? I tricked you!" (say that with Mariam's accent and it's really funny).

Commiseration

I was reading this http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/10/22/georgia.landfill.body/index.html totally not what I was expecting but there it is.

'Who is Seeley's dad living/nesting with Diane/Diana in a row house that may have an A on the door? possibly the house was built by Sancho John or St. John?'

Then I remembered reading this article yesterday and have to post in response Mother's final duty to soldier son: Escort his body home

To the Moms:
27 An-Naml (The Ants)
وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِي ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ 27:70
27:70 and do not grieve over them (torment yourself), and do not be distressed over whatever they (the wrong doers) may do.

94 Sharh (Expansion)
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا 94:5
إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا 94:6
94:5 certainly, with every hardship comes ease ,
94:6 surely, with every hardship comes ease.


Man's Development and Duty to Their Parents

To the One who Escorted Her Fallen Son home:

Al-Ahqaf (The Curved Sandhills)
46:15 -46:19 وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ إِحْسَانًا حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ كُرْهًا وَوَضَعَتْهُ كُرْهًا
وَحَمْلُهُ وَفِصَالُهُ ثَلَاثُونَ شَهْرًا حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ وَبَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ رَبِّ
أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَيَّ
وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

(Asad)
46:15 We have enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents.
46:16 In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth; and her bearing him and his utter dependence on her took thirty months.
46:17 and so, when he attains to full maturity and reaches forty years,
46:18 he prays: “O my Sustainer! Inspire me so that I may forever be grateful for those blessings of Thine with which Thou hast graced me and my parents, and that I may do what is right that will meet with Thy goodly acceptance; and grant me righteousness in my offspring Verily, unto Thee have I turned in repentance:
46:19 I am of those who have surrendered themselves unto Thee!”

The Chair And The Lamp

There are many references to God's Attributes throughout the Quran, often appearing as Names in conclusion to a passage. However, there are 2 very important Signs that give deeper insight into God, expounding either Unique Qualities as in 2:255, commonly referred to Ayet-al-Kursi (The Chair/Throne), or given by an accessible Similitude as in 24:35, commonly referred to as An-Noor (Light).

Sign 2:255 Al-Kursi (The Chair/Throne/Domain)


24 Noor (Light)

24:35 اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكَاةٍ فِيهَا مِصْبَاحٌ
...الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي زُجَاجَةٍ الزُّجَاجَةُ كَأَنَّهَا كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِن شَجَرَةٍ

24:35 God is the Light of the Heavens and the Earth. Like the Light of a Lamp containing a Msbah; the Msbah is in a zjajtn; the zjajtu akin to a kawkab duri; stoked from a Blessed Olive Tree; not Eastern nor Western; its oil almost shines (glows) without any fire having touched it. Light Upon Light. God Gifts (Guides unto) His Light Whom He Wills; and God Strikes Parables/similitudes for People, and God is Aware of (Knows) Everything

Table 2:255 did not forget Time attribute; so far having difficulty putting it into words.

---Ok. Besides God, who out there already knows the Theory of Everything and why haven't we read about it--is it below the fold (on the front page)? Table 2:255 (A,1) Imparts Charge, Charges; (A,2) Recharges; (A,1) might also mean vicinity/locale; (A,3) not affected by/repels inactivity/ground state/and resistance !0 && !ohm; (A,4) contains/includes all Power (reference Watts (ms) wrt ground/Earth; this can be scaled to the system so in an atom the 'earth' is the nucleus or the ground state and the sky is the 'electron cloud' or excitation; if 'all' is taken to mean the sum of the Power or Force is in discrete values and not continous); (A,5) no interference without 'permission' --selective interference; (A,5) domain includes sigma P (Watts -ms) wrt ground/Earth; (A,7)energy does not dissipate although it imaparts charge/energy (dR)=0;

Time in 2:255; 'Knows what is between their hands'and what is behind them'; 'between their hands' = Present but also intersticial since it is 'between' and 'what is behind them' is Past or not in their line of sight; Present 'between their hands' also means what is about to happen since it could be 'in the works' or being developed so that would include Future the nuance again is intersticial--so this would be a reference to time dilation.

Here is one way to go about this:

My friend says 'Enough with the Magilla Gorilla and Ogee jokes!'

I wouldn't call this 'bad math' but rather more 'mystical math'; for instance 'is aware of everything' means contains everything' and 0 can be a valid sum of all numbers...

24:35 gives the qualitative properties of the God's Light:

_

24:35 Table above left describes the light itself:

the second Table 24:35 above right describes the fuel source (the 'tree that stokes it and its oil') of the Light:

(A,1) stoked of a blessed olive tree; fueld/stoked from a tree (crytal growth?) mo (oxide of metal or molar) Ba-Ra--Ca--Sn system zay.tu.na.tin like 2Na-Sn or Na-TiN system: taking for example the alkaline metal/tin system Barium Stannides are tree-like chain polar anions where the valence electrons contibuted by the Sn is 2 and in the case of the Na-Sn system I think it also forms a zintl ion or a polar cluster, specific to the case of Ba Sn the 'tin layers are made of condensed {Sn6} rings in chair formation'; one application for these types of systems is in supercondutors, etc
(A,2) not east or west leaves North-South dipoles ; dipoles/or dielectic values re-inforces superconductors/seeded plasma; taken in context with The Chair 2:255 above and the referecence to !ohm (0 resistance) and generating large currents with nearly 0 energy dissipation; the concept of superconduction is re-inforced here.
(A,3) Its oil virtually shines/glows without fire; luster/luminosity of zaytuha (like 2 Ha or T U Ha system) is virtual i and radiationless

• There must be a conspiracy about how I got all this wrong; yesterday a collegue was practicing a new grip on his table tennis paddle and I casually mentioned I can't play the game since I have difficulty tracking the ball and he up and says, "You have to do more differential equations!"
