Kemp's Column

By Ray Kemp, USA

Time And Tide

In 1985 I invented an item as a result of a conversation
with my daughter who was a -firefighter and Emergency Medical
Technician.
Very simply it was a module that could be connected into the phone
line and upon one dialling the local emergency number would cause
a flashing strobe light to come on outside the house so that
responders
could more easily locate the scene.

Wonderful I thought. We can get this produced and
sell them and all make some money and at the same time contribute
something to society.

Today, sitting on my desk is the final production
model, along with about $15,000 in paid bills and another $300,000
as yet unacquired, but needed for the final stage of marketing.

Over eight years ago I wrote, along with Pamela, a
book entitled You Live as You Think. It enjoyed good sales
but I wanted to get it into paperback at a price where anyone could
buy it and, hopefully, benefit from it.

Today, sitting on my desk are the first 100 copies
off the press and at $7.95 a very nice product it is (yes, that's
the commercial) now going into book stores all over the country and
produced by Northwest Publishing.

Why So Long

But why so long a time between the mock up
and the final product entering the physical universe?

Tracing the route has been interesting.

In the first place these items were created in
my universe. Yes, some of it was created in my daughter's universe
and in the case of the book, in Pamela's universe, and then
transferred
to mine. In these instances, because we are well trained and in pretty
good shape, the duplication from one to another was easy but then
I had to get these items into the physical universe. The book required
a computer to write it on, the Emergency Alert required an engineer
to check components, then design the actual circuit and, since
it operates on a computer chip, the program had to be written for
this, and the correct chip that would take that program had to be
selected.

We sent the book to the editors for its hard
cover edition and the editor had to duplicate my work but at the same
time put in her opinions on what I wrote and what she understood by
what I wrote.

Finally the book came out in hard cover and the emergency
alert models were tested in the countries for which it was destined.
But interfaces with telephones are different in each country. Power
supplies are different. People are different in their ideas of
what the emergency alert should do and what it should look like.

And at every step people wanted money. Even  to tell
me that the whole thing wouldn't work! Others wanted me to give them
the item so that they could make money but we couldn't, so we got
involved with lawyers who wanted money so that they could tell lawyers
for the other people that they couldn't have money.

At every interface within the physical universe there
was an additional complexity added in. Sometimes this complexity was
because of an opinion thinly disguised as fact. Other times it was
a matter of everybody knows and most often it was simply a case of
people's out ethics and inability to honestly look at what exists
rather than what they thought it should look like, or be like.

Non Confront

Basically, today people are unwilling to confront
anything. They take a look at an item, say in the physical universe,
and immediately create their version of it in their own universe.
Then since a datum can only be understood by a datum of comparable
magnitude, they search their bank for such data, pull in on a chain
of pictures that may closely match, or may not, and at this point
announce their opinion as to the value of their understanding of what
it was that they looked at in the first place.

I am reminded of what we used to call the plaint
of a Thetan.

I can't do it but I can build a machine that can.

I can't communicate direct but I can build a machine that
can ... a telephone.

I can't build a telephone but I can build a machine that
can ... an organisation to build telephones.

I can't build an organisation for this, but I can build
a ... money to create a company.

I can't create money but ... a job.

I can't create a job but ... work for a pay check.

I can't create a pay check but ... look for a job.

I can't ... but ... Social Security, Unemployment Benefits.

I can't get ... but ... I can complain and protest.

And so it goes. You can take almost any ill in the society and trace
a line through all of this and see why the current societal situation
exists.

And the trouble is that all this junk eats time, which in itself is
an arbitrary anyway.

The Legal Example

To take an entirely different situation. Currently
in the US there is a whole 'debate' on health care insurance
and basically this is a reaction to the rising cost of health care.
But much of the rising cost is due to the medical practitioners
requiring
to take inordinate amounts of insurance to protect themselves from
being sued for horrendous amounts of money arising from specious
claims
of malpractice. But people have the right to compensation if they
were 'done wrong' and attorneys fight for the clients' rights
to be upheld.

The people who feel that they have been ill-treated
don't have the money to pay for an attorney so that attorney
takes the case on the basis of collecting 35% of what he obtained
in a judgement. As a result he can get a lot more for himself if the
judgement is a lot, and if he loses, that he has only his time and
direct expense to lose.

There is a simple way out of this spiral, but no
one will acknowledge it so far.

1. The attorney charges his regular fee if the person
can pay it. If the person cannot, he can defer payment but charge
double the usual fee.

2. The loser pays the court the cost of the trial anyway.

This would reduce the padding of the amount claimed
and would cost out much of the frivolous claims.

The point of all this is that while it is true that
the physical universe has an inordinate amount of time attached to
it, the closer we get as a society to acting within the purely
physical universe bounds (in agreement with those laws,) then
we create the parallel to time, called atrophy.

Atrophy can be described as a tendency for an item
at rest to stay at rest.

Magic Universe Versus Present

One of the differences between the magic track universe and the
current
one is that time in the magic universe was whatever you created to
put into or onto an item. There was no general agreement to this,
so the individual just went ahead and arranged the time he wanted
with respect to what he wanted to do or have.

This is, by the way, what makes Quantum so interesting because,
in Quantum science or mechanics or, as I prefer, it the Quantum
universe,
time is under no constraints. (You might like to reread my earlier
article on this.) This is similar to the effects of a hologram where
the whole picture is contained in any part of that picture.

Now, if we could only bridge from the Quantum universe or even the
holographic universe into the physical and the personal universe,
we might have it made.

Didn't Ron talk of this? OT universes!
