1. Since the time of Archimedes and Pythagoras, physicists have worked out a very precise and technical way of understanding and predicting physical phenomena. Since change is detectable in every part of the physical world, physicists had to devise a precision calculus of changes. This calculus involves infinitesimals because changes occur in small amounts over small intervals of time. And some objects are very tiny or change only a tiny amount per second.

2. In a realm removed from the physical, certain rules don�t change even over millions of years. These changeless rules are the natural or cosmic invariants. People use these dependable rules to keep track of things. The cosmic invariants form the rock upon which all creation is built. All the rest is an unstable quicksand.

3. Words change in meaning. The word �quake� means more today than it meant before the game of �Quake� was invented. And the word �integral� meant a lot more after the calculus was invented. And today many words have a special connotation so you can�t use them without fear of being misunderstood. To say, �I am gay� can mean that I am happy and expressive of good feelings, or that I am a homosexual.

4. An energy disturbs objects and alters their behavior. When you kick a ball, some of the energy in your foot and leg goes into the ball and the ball moves with a different speed and direction than before you kicked it. You place a rod of iron in amongst the glowing coals of a fire and in ten minutes you can pull the bar out and see it glowing red. The rod has absorbed some energy from the fire.

5. Some people�s life direction is changed by the influence of a person who has high energy. The high energy person inspires others to feel more positive and more energetic. But this is a somewhat different use of the word energy, from the way a physicist uses the word, energy.

6. When cold iron is thrust into a hot fire, the metal can�t by itself leave the fire. When you kick a ball, the ball can�t by itself dodge your foot. But when I offer energy to you, you can dodge it, or you can refuse it. And I can tell you how I got this energy, and you can say, �Hell. I�d never do that!� But your avoidance of this fire doesn�t prove the energy isn�t real. The human fear can block the human advance.

7. When I was little, and it was my turn to ride on the pony, I was terrified. I was more timid than other little men. And a boy isn�t able to grow to become a man if he�s often made to feel afraid. And I wasn�t afraid for no good reason. I had some serious handicaps.

8. In the sheltered environment of home and hometown university life, I managed to do well despite chronic family poverty. I was considered the top mathematics student in my class. But my chronic handicaps, chronic family poverty, chronic poor health, and the old inability to persuade some hard people broke my spirit, and in 1971 I really needed a way to reassemble the pieces of my Humpty Dumpty self. To survive against the odds, I really needed to learn about becoming God.

9. The word �becoming� means �handsome�, or �is found favorable to�. When you �become God�, you are found favorable by God. But then the doctors say you�re having an �acute schizophrenic episode.� Do you see how our wordy language has become so confusing and so easy to misinterpret? When civilizations fail to focus on the one precision language, they fail to advance and eventually they implode.

10. Think of Moses, the man poor in speech but so �becoming� to God. What would �become� of a modern Moses? Would he �become� a doctor? And can a doctor of the mind �become� a student of word usage? And what is the most you can �become�? Have you yet �become� God?

11. If God�s Incarnation is a Messiah, or an Avatar, this is ancient wordiness, belonging to the age long before Jesus Christ and many other founders of a modern religion. Even so, translators have rendered the antiquated texts into modern English. But what�s the connotation? If modern words like �gay� and �become� can be so confusing, what about the ancient words? How can we hope to understand the feelings and the reasons felt and thought by philosophical, verbal men who lived thousands of years before Christ?

12. In evolutionary time, Jesus and Socrates are here in the same chat room with you and me. And we are just an hourglass away from being in the company of millions of speechless apes.

13. Human fetal development replays the evolution of human sensibility and intelligence. Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny. And the incompetent, sometimes intimidated human forebear or �Adam� often cowered in his dark hole, without being armed by nature with any long sharp teeth or long claws. For a million years or more, humanity was an intimidated mutant, a form of life scarcely able to survive. Then the connection was made. The Creation of language and thoughtfulness occurred in the mind of prehistoric man. The tool of language and thoughtfulness was conceived by someone who was �becoming� to God. And from that time until today, the basic mystery of full human awareness and full human potential has remained unsolved.

14. Like certain words, certain images by dreamers, visionaries, and poets have caught on. People embrace and imitate certain art, certain music, and certain poetic metaphors made by certain creative individuals who were inspired. Some inspired persons have even been revered as �God�s chosen� one! But far more novelties and far more unusually inspired persons have been rejected by society than ever have been carefully tested and accepted. Even the modern societies remain very conservative and anxiety-ridden.

15. The basic phenomenon remains a mystery, so that nearly all modern persons who �become God� are hailed as dangerous freaks. The creative process itself is like a wild fire. It is energetic brain activity running out of conscious control. And even if during prehistoric human evolution, ten million humanoids somehow were made as crazy as any mad elephant, two million years of evolution is a long time, and a few inspired �God-people� were able to be constructive with their extraordinary brain energy. And in our modern time, if one percent of all humans are genetically predisposed to schizophrenia, the reason why this gene is so frequent in the human population might be because in past ages, a few schizophrenia-prone persons were able to control the energetic brain activity well enough to produce useful inventions, and sometimes even better human cultures, including a �Christ-paradigm� of mercy so that more creativity and inventiveness could be fostered in even more persons. In other words, the schizophrenia gene was preserved because at least once in a while the savant-shaman-schizophrenic really was the savior. He was the only person inspired enough to be able to dream up the idea needed to save his tribe or nation! Many family groups who had no one who could be ingenious perished without leaving any record of this. Knowing the way evolutionary biology works, we can reconstruct the story.

16. If you are able to read the words of this article and follow the logic, you can see that in potential, one percent of the human population is genetically predisposed to �schizophrenia�, that is, to be appealing to �The Lord�, and even become �The Stone the builders refused� and as �Messiahs� lead society instead of being rejected and refused. But the missing technique of mastery isn�t yet medical science. Medical scientists just don�t really understand the inspiration of Moses, Christ, and other new-culture-creators. The medical scientists present no useful, testable method or idea of what the "Christ" healing energy actually is.

17. The languages of diverse cultures have helped create the universal language of mathematics. Every modern culture uses modern mathematics. And since everything physical is in flux and change, including nonmathematical wordiness, one key to better understanding is the infinitesimal calculus, which is the mathematics of continual and continous changes. But to some persons calculus is such a frightening subject! So even before we get into that subject, we need to address the problem of overcoming fear itself. And since I was such a timid person for so many years, and since I eventually learned how to become less fearful of so many things, this problem of overcoming fear is perhaps the very first item on the agenda for anyone who really wants to get into this subject of realizing his or her full potential one hundred percent.
