From Universal Physics To Submission
To The "weak forces" and "strong forces" of pure Chrarisma.

A link and a few thoughts as I've been through a heavy case of anti muslimist bigotry lately. You know...it is hard to be a muslim. Really hard even though there is this whole story regarding the "Night Journey" in which Mohamed (SAW) travels to the farthest reaches of heaven (outside the fallacy of time) and 'visits' a few folks. One of the folks he visits is Moses. (And I hope I'm getting the names right...tend to be a bit Alzheimerish after all that drinking I used to do.) Anyway, the two of them enter into a conversation after Allah assigns something like 50,000 prayers for the faithful Monotheists at the time. Moses (it could be Abraham here and my apologies if it is...it is important but not important to the kernel of truth contained within the digression). It is obvious that no one could pray that many times a day so the 'old' prophet advises the much 'newer' one to go back and negotiate. So he does. He ends up getting the amount divided several times, all the way down to where it is now, Five Dailies. Reasonable but still, in this day and age of commuting to work and throwing things in the microwave, it is still involves a conscientious effort. The older prophet still thinks Mohamed (SAW) ought to negotiate once again...but he doesn't. The older prophet (Moses) had a habit of pushing the envelope sometimes and this contains the notion of the need to clarify the 'old' protocols versus newer and more advanced, reasonable ones. Suffice it to say that the point here is that although Islam is aimed at making things "easier" it is still very hard to be one and shouldn't be taken lightly by the new convert. It stands as well that to 'aim' at converting others is not any muslims duty because it is an assignment too tough for the Average Batman.

I just met (online) a fantastic guy who has been an Islamic Scholar for many, many years. It is so nice to be able to just digress at will with someone like that even though he admits to not desiring a "conversion" or as some NewAge muslims call it, "reversion". He knows he isn't ready now and maybe he'll never be. So I told him that I thought that was part of the balance we need on this planet...afterall, it wouldn't do if the muslims got all the "good guys" on their side and left everyone else in the hands of shadowy religious characters and clerics. Sheesh, we have some of our own of that variety and sometimes I really wonder what we ought to do about that. Like Micheal Jackson for instance. He has converted. Oh dear me. Not the best PR but anyway...it isn't up to me or Joe Blow who gets to convert/revert. Some violent sects actually MURDER other muslims because they declare them "kafir" or infidels. Sheesh...some Sunnis call Shia the "Jews" of Islam. Now...that in itself isn't something to be ashamed of if one considers the basic premise of "all" living things created in a state of Islam but apparently, to some sects, being a JEW is the worst thing a person can be even though in the Koran they are called "The Chosen People" So maybe..it is actually a good thing to be part of that group at least I think it is. I've no problem with that sort of comradeship...none at all. In fact I adore the idea of "blending" because that is the whole point of Islam. It is a type of "evolutionary" science (built on the knowledge established in the other two great big ones, both faulty and non faulty premises as all good science should be based as much on error as it should be, on truth) that is literally no different from modern day physics which cites the "Universal Observer" as a type of 'entity' that observes all potential histories of particles WITHOUT influencing their outcomes. Of course, physicists KNOW that is impossible....the mere act of 'witnessing' causes the history of any given particle to change. It is simply a fact. But they have constructed a Theoretical Framework to contain their "God Belief" which states that the universe as we know it was created literally in the 'blink' of an eye and have dubbed it: The Big Bang Theory. Some of them admit to their God Seeking and some do not. It is surprising how many actually do admit to it when we have a real Galileo Age upon religious scholarship and thinkers. Death to the priests! Death to the Deacons! Death to the Rabiis! on and on like that. So...you get folks like Dr. Rashed Khaleefa murdered in his mosque in Tucson more than twenty years ago by Al Qaeda fundamentalists...all because he uncovered a code relating to the GEMATRIA of the Arabic language and perhaps, lighted on the reason for the existence of certain strange 'letters' at the top of some of our Suras in the Koran.

And lets remember, no one has a PHOTOGRAPH of the Big Bang either. Nor one of God. Both are "faith" based realities whether folks want to believe it or not and I am certainly not the first person to make note of it. Just passing along the scientific data you know...having such a strong interest in Acid/Base balance, Calcium ions in the channels of the heart and stuff generally related to things like Cardiac Output, brain death (Sharon notably significant right now to many), and that curious "democracy of death" that I sooooooooooo believe in having witnessed so much of it...having literally carried the dead bodies of infants in my own arms. Everyone ends up the in the same damn "God Hole" whether or not they believe in the potential histories of particles or the potential histories of belief patterns influenced by so many variables that it is no longer possible to calculate the weird idea that the universe had two more likely outcomes: instant collapse and nefarious cloud. Instead, the Universe continued on the least likely path and that is one in which the Grand Unification Theory seeks to 'tie' together using, infinite density. Ahem. Yeah. It is infinite alright, density that is. Least I think so.

Why am I talking about this? Because I can. It is MY blog hahaha. But more importantly I wanted to share a link that demonstrates the 'blending' of souls in this world and note that at one time, I was literally "tarred and feathered" for even SUGGESTING that there were people of all 'types' interested in our CRAZY religion...which obviously....if you follow my logic and aren't 'blind'...isn't so crazy after all. It is though, very hard. No doubt about it especially when there are those who seek to "label" others with all sorts of VILE DESCRIPTIVE ANTIMUSLIMIST TERMS because, let's face it...we have a terrible reputation to UPHOLD and others think we need, "a little help". And usually I would turn a blind eye to that sort of thing...turn the other cheek...offer my jacket when someone steals my shirt.....and actually I DID ATTEMPT that sort of thing....but apparently even the Christian Ethic and the Crystal Hugging Pagan-slash-Wiccan-Spell-Casting Ethic is a bit tired nowdays of the belligerence and has adopted hatefulness as part of their universal 'code'. Whatever....it doesn't really matter other than to discuss the difficulty level involved in actual submission and then, the relative ease of it once it is in 'place' and all the logic is stored and called up and applied to various situations NOT MENTIONED in the Koran, like Chinese Foot Binding as it relates to FEMALE CIRCUMCISION (which was mentioned), or for that matter, male. Or about that issue of Wife Beating which appears to the untrained observer as an INJUNCTION TO ABUSE as opposed to what it really is, a LIMITATION on the more or less, universal occurrence of what we call, SPOUSAL ABUSE. The Koran didn't leave out much in terms of application but it did leave alot of the details up to history and the common, everyday intellectual and theologian. Like any good thinking man's book should.

The story of one Shebati Zevi is in order. I came across Mr. Zevi in the course of reading the MORE THAN WONDERFUL ex post facto NUN, Karen Armstrong whom I cannot say enough wonderful things about. She tells is like it is. And she knows the story of Shebbati.....

....and now any lonesome readers here know it too. It is definitely worth further research as a trivial detail or perhaps, a gigantic detail of the shared potential history that goes ignored and abused in the constant stream of attention 'given' to us by the media.....and it isn't the only interesting tale. The best stories about the *prophets are the details the books of sacred evidence don't provide (they are numbered at around 40,000 in the Koran and not assigned 'gender'...for that you have to turn to the historians and Ms. Armstrong is the leader of the pack in that regard. If you haven't read her...you should.

And you should follow that link to other stories from the "insane" like Mike Shapiro. His is great because I remember EVERY SINGLE ONE of those arguments that I engaged myself with and especially the one about how two religions (and for whatever it is worth people still get into heaven even if they aren't muslims depending on their 'relative' ability to navigate in "cloudy conditions"...in fact maybe they even get MORE credit for a job well done under less than clear admonitions)...how two religions are named after "groups" or "ethnicities" and the third, the final word (and let's be honest here...there haven't been any more real prophets after Mohamed although there have been a number of fake ones from Jim Jones all the way down through Jimmy Baker and his lovely ex-wife and current wife who could have shared him had they 'copped out' and played for our 'team')..the third great one, Islam is named after a "condition" available to all men/women regardless of social strata and color.

Or maybe not, just maybe not all HUMAN BEINGS are being allowed to be MUSLIM. Because 'freedom of religion' isn't really a sacred human right in the United States now, is it? No. It isn't. Of course it isn't. It is a Christian state lest we forget that before ending this wonderfully long session of absolute religious anarchy. Meet Mike Shapiro:

I think I'll run over and say hi to Mike. Sounds nice. We muslims all get along....more or less. When people generally stop pestering us about our milk, honey, water and oil.
