"The only reason we exist in any state of reality is because of our redundancy.
I am redundant, therefore I am."

"And how narrow is the middle path? If there is a middle, then there must be boundaries."

"Redundancy allows detection by establishing pattern. It is whom we all appear to be."

"A deviation from redundancy is a break in social normality."

"It is accepted to deviate from the norm temporarily – to rub up against the lines  or even go out of the lines for a short time. However, if too much time is spent outside of the lines, then you have become eccentric and if you stay outside of the lines then you are mad."

"A narrow path in the middle of the lines is equally as confining as a narrow path outside the lines."

"Thus, one can be equally as mad working within the framework of expectation as working outside the framework of expectation. "

"Redundancy is a sure path toward mediocrity, let alone boredom."

"Formal education is rampant with endless redundancy."

"Evolution has linked survival to both redundancy and exploration -- species persist because of redundancy, and adapt because of exploration."

"When the people feel the bison’s hoof shake the earth, they ask, 'is it the bison that shakes 
the earth or the earth that shakes the bison?' The Buddhist monk responds, 'neither, the mind shakes both'. The shaman responds 'neither, they are all one and the same, the earth is the bison; the bison is the earth, and the mind is both.

"An old Mexican proverb goes, “Better grace without perfection, than perfection without grace.”"

"It is egocentric and naïve to believe that science holds all the answers;
It can only answer the small set that lies within the scope of the scientific method."

"If it is not within the realm of science,
does it not exist?"

"Science cannot explain the beauty of a flower, 
but the flower remains beautiful."

"The flower was beautiful before science existed."

"Science has grown from spiritualism."

"The scientific method that builds science knowledge is more confining
and less complex than the capability of the mind which created it"

"Science answers only questions that follow the rules of science"

"Accept science not as a limitation but as a facilitation."

"Creation in the mind initiates all that we know"

"The mind’s reality is built from the mind’s perception"

"Knowledge is the exchange commodity of the intellect "

"Redundant thought is confined thought."

"Every thought is a coupon for knowledge, 
redeem it"

"The commonality of the common insures the same"

"Time lens: concepts change"

"Fish: Deformed Invertebrates"

"Space-time distorts history"

"Because matter distorts space-time, a absolute history can not exist, 
thus history is both curvilinear and convoluted"

"Only God and quarks are in confinement"

"Even the worm’s belly never touches the ground"

"Be careful the can of worms you open,
a lot of ill will can emerge"

"Process: gets you where you’re going"

"The hens cluck madly at the fox,
He cares not"

"The older I grow, the simpler life becomes and the more curious I become"

"Even the lowest slug smiles occasionally"

"Nothingness is the state of homogeneity"

"The reservation is hot and I have no peyote, but the spirit still visits"

"Existence is a continuous state of growing heterogeneity"

"May your happiness expand like popping corn"

"The simplest encounter with science/abstraction can redirect thought in a most curious way"

"Ecology exists because of the space-matter equivalence"

"All biological structure and function is underpinned by gravity"

"Matter is built of quantum distortions of space"
(you are distorted space)

"The continuity threshold is the perceptional distinction between matter and space"

"Perfection is an unnecessary burden"

"Mass and energy are different expressions of wave frequency"

"The homogeneity is everything, and yet it is nothing"

"Fundamental science knows no time limit"

"The moon skitters across the dark, the drop swells from the grass blade"

"When the spirit shakes the earth, the buffalo come"

"Only your mind limits your success"

"The word seeks truth from the pen, the paper speaks the word"

"Electromagnetic forces dictate life function,
gravitational forces dictate life form"

"Hey dad, where’s the hot sauce?"

"Nothingness only exists in the context of everything,
nothingness and everything are equivalent"

"A certain sign of death: no questions stream from one’s mind"

"Retro-evolution: we are livestock farmed by bacteria"

"Since we are 80% water, should we not be invisible when swimming?"

"One’s knowledge base should always be in flux"

"Happiness is a new can of worms every week"

"The fish believes you are refracted;
whose truth is true?"

"One’s behavior propagates in others"

"The fool’s vice,
oh, what a foolish thought"

"Economic emancipation will drive equality"

"Safety is enhanced but identity always compromised when running with the pack "

"Technology is science at work"

"‘The sky’s the limit’? Surely a star never seen! 
(5 MYBP: ‘The tree’s the limit’)"

"Conflict tears open the heart like fire consumes the wood; only ashes of defeat survive"

"It is always fiction before it is non-fiction"

"Sometimes fiction is blurred by reality"

"The web extends to both the spider and the insect that it captures"

"Because something lives does not mean that it has life"

"In space-time, if time is continuous,
then space must be continuous (i.e. all things of space are woven together by space-time)"

"Different rates of time are analogous to different densities of space"

"The surface of matter is a phase transition with space,
gravity emanates as part of the phase change"

"You are inescapably linked to the rock by space-time distortions;
you are the rock, the rock is you"

"Schrodinger (physicist) and Lovelock (biologist) were both compromised--
Schrodinger: waves are everything, literally; Lovelock: everything is connected, literally"

"Matter: bumps in the road"

"Quantum expressions (matter, organisms) formed 
    from a continuous base (space-time)"

If the sun rises, then it must set.

To grow de novo thought, the mind must reject redundancy.

Being wrong is not terminal; rather the beginning of inquiry.


River' s Quotes
Log Line:  
An old Indian man and a young Indian boy, cued by a mysterious anilith (Spirit stone) on a northern Wisconsin reservation, electronically integrate a dream catcher with a scientific instrument to enhance spiritual visions, but greater powers emerge. Young teenagers foil scientists and thugs trying to possess the dream catcher.

Synopsis: 
An ancient Indian anilith (spirit stone), mysteriously appearing on a northern Wisconsin reservation, ignites a struggle between local Indians and government scientists to possess the stone and failing that both ridicule the stone's scientific and spiritual message. An old Indian Ph.D. mystic (Anishin) fully comprehends that the stone cannot be possessed but is an ancient message for understanding how science and spiritualism are woven together as the same fabric. "The science story and the spiritual story have the same ending". 

The anilith serves as a catalyst for Anishin to electronically integrate a mythical dream catcher with a scientific instrument, the synchronous wave inductor, in hope of better understanding spiritual visions.  However, the instrument performs poorly until a young teenage boy (Curly) and girl (Lexie) re-configure the inductor unleashing a power far greater than mere vision enhancement. They discover that spiritual visions lie at the edge of a different dimension. Is the spiritual vision a prelude to physical transport? Curly and Lexie sequentially test the inductor by trial and error with several humorous failures. Finally, a lab rat is sucked into a different dimension through the contorting and throbbing dream catcher. Eureka! 

Anishin lures the scientists to the sweat lodge to teach the dream catcher's capacity to enhance understanding. When thugs sabotage the lodge, everything goes wrong. The dry heat of the fire overwhelms the scientists, but with no escape, they enter a vision that re-directs the scientist's thinking about the fundamental nature of matter and its spiritual connection.

When Anishin leaves for Chicago to present a conference paper, a group of Indian thugs attempt to steal the synchronous wave inductor but are foiled time and again by Curly and Lexie's ingenuity. The thugs are finally baited into the sweat lodge where they are captured by the dream catcher's full power. 

Upon Anishin's return, he teaches that spiritual beliefs, as with science, are only fragments of knowledge. "Can one understand the book by reading a single paragraph?" To Curly and Lexie's surprise, Anishin delegates them the task of leading their people to the sweat lodge to seek the vision of harmony. Everything truly is physically and spiritually interconnected; not just an implausible ancient Indian myth handed from generation to generation.

“How does your river flow? River 

The river’s flow has a rhythm. 
The collective earth has brought the eternal flow
of the river to yet another fork.
What comes next?
Life’s river flow is unceasing. 
There can be no standstill. 
To cease flow, is to cease.

How does your river flow?
The current grips tightly as it sweeps you along.
It carries you without intention.
As you bob up and down and shift side to side,
the fork draws nearer.

This is the river’s rhythm.
Up, down, side to side.
Either branch of the river’s fork is unfamiliar.
But choose, or the river will choose.
Close your eyes and choose from deep inside.

Listen to the rhythm of your river.
Tugging and pulling and pushing and prodding.
Listen.

You are the river.
This is your rhythm.
This is how your river flows.

The pivotal point of circumstance arrives each time one engages.
