ESSAY TWO: A philosophical essay about the origins of thought and the universe...
Common Language
And the Universe of Immaterial Things:
A speculative concept of the way things are and how they came to be
(written to inspire thought in persons equipped to examine the explanations presented)
by James Aaron Parmelee
That which is known is called knowledge, and so that which is unknown is not knowledge. Knowledge, which is born of thought, is expandable without limits, and scientific and mathematical principles (unrefined) increase accordingly, upon a mind’s ability to conceptualize them.
Thought may be defined as consciousness and sensation (or a record of previous consciousness and sensation). Nothing immaterial exists except thought, or relationships such as spatial or temporal distances, which, as we shall see, are not only discoveries of thought but also the major components of all thought when viewed potentially—and thought must exist within a language, whether communicable or systemic.
Art—which may be defined as individual expression, or freedom of movement between and among the different branches of thought (generally not by apparent steps of logic)—is created by one mind’s thoughts to provide pleasure for itself and others, and permeates all other branches of thought inextricably.
Science, philosophy and mathematics therefore do not, and cannot, exist independently of art, or of one another. Indeed science, philosophy, art and mathematics are all integrated parts of the greater whole which is thought; and science, philosophy and art itself are all applied branches of integrated mathematical systems, whether consciously or strictly constructed or not.
Language, thus, is both a form of art and an integration of mathematical systems structurally allowing and facilitating the creative and artistic expressions that lead to mental explorations in science, philosophy and art itself—indeed also the expansion, in terms of knowledge, of the very mathematical principles and laws which incorporate it.
Mathematics and art thus must be regarded as the generational bases of thought, and of all things immaterial; but it is communicable language which is the stage on which they are erected, and knowledge shall expand slowly or rapidly to the extent that mathematical and scientific discoveries can be formulated in a common language, to inspire sensation and artistic appreciation in external minds.
The Space-Time Continuum of the Immaterial Universe:
The ‘Deity’ of Religion
(A languistic definition based on the above)
Contrary to current scientific belief, each ‘universe’ that exists, whether known or unknown, is composed of not one, but two, dual ‘universes’: the one material, or physical, and the other immaterial, or mental. There also exists in both the material and the immaterial universes not one, but two, continuua: the space-time continuum and the matter-energy continuum, which orbit one another elliptically; and these travel unimpeded between, to and from both universes, functioning immaterially in the immaterial universe, and materially (or in part materially) in the material universe, while being permanently resident in neither. Thus it is that by any instance of will (or thought imposition) emanating from the time-space continuum of the immaterial universe into the material universe (see below), the matter-energy continuum of the material universe is caused to collide with the space-time continuum of the immaterial universe, causing an integration of thought with matter (in other words, a living object), as well as other phenomenal changes.
In examining these phenomena, emphasis will first be given to events within the material universe in which we, as mortal physical beings, daily operate, and only secondly to events within the immaterial universe, from which we as thinking beings ultimately derive our capacity to think.
Mass (a physical object’s relative attractiveness to other objects) and energy within either universe are interchangeable, and are opposite manifestations of the same entity, which is matter (or one might say ‘pre-matter’ within the immaterial universe).
Likewise, space and time are interchangeable, and are opposite manifestations of the same entity, which is thought (or potential thought), as manifested independently of living matter, or animate objects.
Therefore, all that exists is either matter or thought (in whatever form), but these are not interchangeable. Thought is immaterial (without physical dimension); thus matter within the material universe (possessing physical dimension) is material. Embodied thought (as contrasted to the previous, or historic, thought of the immaterial universe) is consciousness, whereas inanimate matter is not, and does not possess any degree of, consciousness. Embodied thought, however, cannot by definition exist apart from matter, though matter may exist apart from thought. Indeed, matter, the embodiment of mass, and energy, the opposite manifestation of mass, are the necessary constituents of any material object; and embodied thought requires life, which occurs by the fusion of thought with matter.
A living object itself, however, cannot exist without a brain or brain-equivalent to enable thought, or the equivalent of thought. Thus, the fusion of matter and thought, or form of thought, must produce a living object (or body) with a brain or other mechanism resident to enable thought and control the body’s functions (as well as the functions of the brain or brain-equivalent itself). Such a fusion can only occur when mass and energy within the material universe cease to be capable of alternating form, and this capability can only cease when the continuum on which both mass and energy ride (the matter-energy continuum) collides with the space-time continuum of the immaterial universe of thought: fusing within the material universe thought with matter, time with mass, and space with energy.
The living object and the brain which controls it, however, exists but for a finite duration, as do the fusions of time with mass and space with energy, as these fusions may be regarded as aberrations of ‘normal’ continuum activity. Thus because the creation of a living object species occurs but seldom (by human reckoning), and the brain-regulated living object can exist as a thinking embodiment only briefly, the living object so created is thought-directed (both before its creation, in the immaterial universe, and afterwards, in the material universe) to propagate itself in order to preclude the extinction of its species.Therefore, just as matter and energy and space and time function as opposites of one another while yet jointly comprising the unities mass and thought, respectively, so also brain-regulated living objects capable of embodied thought are created in dual forms which are opposite, namely male and female (or an amalgam of the two), in order that the species of which they are one may perpetuate itself.
As for the immaterial universe, there came a point of time which one might call “the beginning of embodied thought in the immaterial universe”, when a fusion parallel to the one described with regard to the material universe took place, wherein the matter-energy continuum collided with the space-time continuum, such that the ‘pre-matter’ of that universe (consisting of an immaterial substance which nonetheless was fully represented by both mass and energy and also possessed a definitive shape, or outline of shape) fused with potential thought to produce a single thinking entity, the ‘brain’ of which was pre-programmed to live eternally. This thinking Entity, thus, can be considered to be ‘God’. God, however, did not suddenly begin existence by means of such a fusion, but had already existed, though in a potential state of thought only, and without a body of any sort, physical or otherwise.
Like time and space (considered separately), both mass and disembodied thought are constants, relatively speaking, and thought in collective form remains in the immaterial universe both disembodied and operative: itself receiving, collecting, organizing, assimilating and directing a virtually inestimable inflow of ‘live’ thoughts, including knowledge bases, desires, prayers, complaints, opinions and memories, from all capable living objects. Thus it is that the space-time continuum, taken as an entity (and carrying thought, or will, from the immaterial universe into the material universe), may be regarded as the Deity unifying and controlling all things through the power of projected thought: the matter-energy continuum of the material universe by physical laws (i.e., the predictability circumstantially controlling and operative over all actions and reactions), and everything else by the assimilated will of all thoughts synthesized as one.
It thus seems clear that in order to fathom and expand upon mankind’s general knowledge regarding the origins of thought (as well as the origins of ‘God’ and all things material and immaterial), thinking beings must utilize language and scientific study—and within these fully make use of the interrelatedness of art and mathematics—the very elements of which thought is—and must by definition be, composed.
I trust that better qualified ‘thinkers’ than myself can expand upon these matters for the good of all on earth.

AN ACCEPTED CONCEPT INHERENTLY FALLACIOUS:
'Scientific', or 'Physical', Law.
There is no such thing as a 'scientific' or 'physical law'! Indeed, there cannot be any 'law' which does not apply in all possible circumstances, and all such 'laws' are dependent for their existence upon the juxtaposition of things. Thus, as we all know, there is no Law of Gravity in play in a juxtaposition wherein the physical objects are all weightless ('weightlessness' itself being, by definition, another fallacious concept). And in a circumstance wherein there are no physical objects at all (if that is possible), neither this nor any other 'law' would or could exist. Thus to answer the ancient riddle of whether a falling tree would make a noise if there were no one to hear it: There would, undoubtedly, be sound waves—but, without ears, not a semblance of sound!
