221. Truth is not a constant.

222. Second, in pendular geometry, the axes bend at the point of convergence. Therefore, the “plane” in pendular geometry is wavy, resembling a phonograph record left in the sun.

223. Erratum: There are no negative rays emanating from the origin. So, instead of six “spokes” in a plane, there are only three positive rays—x, y, and z—defining a plane. The plane may be conical or pyramid shaped instead of wavy.

224. Truth and honesty should not be confused with each other.

225. Creativity blocks seem to come in two varieties. First is the absence of any idea or concept. This type of creativity block is more commonly experienced by the conditioned non-creative person; in other words, the person who is taught not to think. The second type—more common to people who have rebelled against conforming education and/or who have engaged themselves in the arts—is a jamming of too many ideas in the creative path to let any through.

226. A remedy for the first type of block is basically to de-educate the person. More on education later.

227. One remedy for the second is to learn to focus on a limited number of the creative ideas recognizing that they will not all come to fruition. A person may need to focus on only one idea in order to clear the jam. His method may likely involve meditation. More on meditation later.

228. The fastest way to burn out your engine is to spin your wheels.

229. Education is the process of reducing individual thought processes to societal norms.

230. Meditation is the process of releasing individual thought processes from societal norms.

211.Each day, each hour, each minute we decide how much oppression we will tolerate before we rebel—that is, become civilly disobedient.

212. Pendular Theorem (198). The universe is kept in constant tension (balance) by the forces of “potential,” “motive force,” and “pendular force.” Potential is how high a pendulum might rise. Motive force is the initiative that drives the upward movement. Pendular force is the opposition to the initiative drawing the pendulum back down.

213. Potential is the product of initiative divided by opposition.

214. Consider the swing of a pendulum. At rest, there is 0 initiative and 0 opposition, thus there is infinite potential. (0/0) The introduction of any initiative has infinite potential.

215. As soon as the pendulum is set in motion, initiative begins to decrease and opposition increases.

216. Eventually initiative reaches 0 at which time potential is a 0 regardless of opposition. (0 / x = 0)

217. Then the cycle reverses and motive force (initiative) increases as opposition decreases until the pendular axis (convergency) is reached, at which time potential is again infinite no matter what the motive force has built to. (x / 0 = ∞)

218. Atomic structure is an effect of the Pendular Theorem mandating a balance between positive and negative charges in an orbital pattern (tension).

219. Pendular geometry may be one answer to the working and tapping of networks for energy.

220. First, pendular plane geometry is tri-axial, assuming that a “point” is defined by three coordinates instead of two as in Euclidean plane geometry. Every point is held in tension by its initiative, its opposition, and its potential.

Introduction to the Third Hundred

The Third Hundred of The Book of Wesley is largely an elaboration of Wesley’s Theory of Relativity as introduced in the First Hundred (17). In it, he becomes increasingly preoccupied with mathematical formulae. (“Mathematics is the first great division of philosophy.” 279) Sometimes, however, it is difficult to tell if Wesley is referring to mathematics or to some other societal phenomenon. (“Potential is the product of initiative divided by opposition.” 213)

In this volume, Wesley begins his exploration of alternative systems. It contains immediately confessed errors and contradictions. However, the thought process can still be traced. It has been my effort once again to leave in the progression, even when stray thoughts seem abhorrently in error. We can only wait to see if Wesley returns to them to redeem them.

After all, it seems he has a long way to go before he reaches his conclusion.

201. Consider this about motion (19, 199)—If you shoot an arrow at a moving airplane propeller, what are the chances that the arrow could get past it? Very slim. Why? Because the speed (motion) of the propeller exceeds the relative motion of the arrow.

202. Thus, as far as arrows are concerned, the entire path of the propeller blad is a solid, not just the blades themselves. In fact, the solid area—being a circle—is over three times the area of the blades themselves—being a star—only because of motion.

203. The mass being moved may be reduced infinitely as long as the motion is relatively increased. In other words, it would be possible for a thread to create an equally solid circle if one could propel it fast enough.

204. This is the principle of what is known to us as atomics. We discover upon examining the atom that there is far more empty space than there is solid particle; and even the solidity that is there is doubtful. As a walking being made of atoms, I am more empty space than solid mass.

205. The atom is therefore described in terms of relationships and balance, positives and negatives, and motion. It is nothing more than the pattern—the brainwave, if you will—of the universal conscious.

206. Returning to the arrow, as you shorten it and/or increase its own motion relative to the moving propeller, you increase the chance that the arrow may pass the field of the moving propeller. So a bullet fired from a high-powered rifle may stand a better chance of passing than the original arrow. To the bullet, the circular field is less solid than it is to the arrow.

207. Thus, a person, being a highly concentrated motion, finds the universe by contrast to have great holes in it that one might pass leisurely through, but finds a table impenetrable because of its even greater concentration of motion.

208. The solidity of an object, be it space, water, wood, or flesh, is therefore only relative to the motion of other objects it encounters (17).

209. All laws are inherently oppressive. (114)

210. The lack of law is a law in and of itself.

191. Another viable legal alternative to obedience is circumvention. This is especially applicable to laws requiring action in given circumstances. For example, the law may require that 2x4 studs be placed at 16" centers. However, using post and lintel construction would eliminate studs altogether and thus circumvent the law.

192. The more frequently malicious obedience (189-190) is practiced, the easier circumvention (191) becomes.

193. It is possible for a law to become so well-defined that it becomes inapplicable. Therefore we generate an unceasing flow of laws beginning with a general principle and being honed down over successive generations to a specific applicability, ultimately becoming obsolete and irrelevant. In the process from genesis to obsolescence, the words of the law may expect to quadruple with each generation.

194. Circumvention is also a Biblically sound tradition as illustrated by the Greek word for sin. It is literally translated “to miss the mark.” One may easily avoid missing the mark (sinning) by not shooting.

195. The easiest way to avoid obeying the rules of a game without cheating is to play a different game. One is not bound by the rules of football if one is playing tennis.

196. As the arc of a pendulum deteriorates (60-63), it changes the direction of its swing more frequently.

197. In the same way, as our social history begins to settle at its historical convergency, the direction of social thought—though perhaps not reaching its radical heights of former eras—changes at an ever increasing rate of speed, leading to social disorientation, sudden turns in thought, and confusion among the masses.

198. A pendulum has its greatest potential at the bottom of the arc. Thus we see that when we approach the historical convergence, our potential for beneficent glory and total destruction is at an incomprehendable height.

199. Since all things are in motion (19), one might be tempted to assert that all things are made of motion, i.e. a relationship of connections. Therefore one might picture sound waves, light waves, brain waves (the most elemental units of motion) as actually being able to take shape. If one could concentrate strongly enough or compress the thought waves, they might take a shape visibly representative of the thinker or the thought.

200. While it may be difficult to conceive of thoughts taking visible shape, it is important to remember that thoughts hold their own dimension of reality. Nothing is thought that does not exist. The mind, being a sophisticated broadcaster of thoughts constantly projects beyond the body. Just as a doctor is capable of using electronic instruments to measure and chart brain waves, some sensitive receivers may be able to “see” the thoughts that we broadcast.

Editor’s Note: We once again find that in the last two verses of the second hundred, Wesley couches his thoughts in “might” and “maybe.” It is significant to note that these two verses are the second pencil section of the second hundred.  The third hundred follows.

181. It is possible to process onself to complete honesty, but one will normally maintain belief in the prevailing “norm of experience,” (151) thus seldom if ever contradicting what the rest of us believe. It becomes a rare exception, then, that a person is ignorant/innocent of the prevailing norm. When it occurs, the word of that person wields nearly unlimited power and he may eat stones simply because he says they are bread.

182. We limit our perception of the universe and reduce it to simplest form. It is as if we sat listening to an orchestra playing a symphony and heard only the violins. Someone sitting next to us may hear only the drums. A third person hears only the horns. Each hears a true and honest portion of the symphony. But only a few people hear the complete composition.

183. While pulling the words we hear from other people apart to catch each individual strain of the music, we care not lose sight, or sound, of the entire symphony. (92, 131-133)

184. While each hears an honest portion of the symphony (182) none would be able to agree that the others were equally as valid in their interpretations. This creates political parties.

185. The obvious seldom is.

186. That the principles of coincidence are always in operation is not a reason to assume that every event is a significant coincidence. Significance is the key.

187. Science has indicated that a gaseous substance will expand to fill a vacuum. The same is true of networks and coincidence and relationships. To reduce it to practical terms, the trivial will expand to fill an empty relationship. Suddenly the speck of dust, the time of dinner, the pattern of the china, all loom up as being incredibly significant.

188. Another viable legal alternative to obedience (17) is malicious obedience. Unlike obedience, malicious obedience obeys the letter of the law and ignores its spirit. This is the foundation of the legal profession as it is not concerned with proving a person did or did not break the law, but is focused on finding a law that makes the behavior legal.

189. Malicious obedience is the most common form of civil disobedience in the modern world. It results in longer more defined and therefore narrower laws and in page upon volumes of written interpretations. This is as true in religion as it is in governance.

190. Malicious obedience is at least as old as the Bible (or rather its legendary sources).
