261. Absolute opposites are absolutely equal. This specifically applies to opposite ends of a scale. Just as 360° is equivalent to 0°, 0 is also equivalent to ∞.

262. Wesley’s Theory of Relativity (17-21) Refined: At rest, all things are infinite.

263. Theologians tend to limit God in the very language they use to describe his limitlessness. It is a fundamental principle of Xn theology that is the greatest “proof positive” that God does not exist. “God is infinite.” Infinity is exactly equivalent to “nothing” (0). (261)

264. It is for this reason that I accept god as slightly less divine, trusting that in that insult he or she finds room to be.

265. 0 * ∞ = 0. ∞ x 0 = ∞. ∞ = 0. (261)

266. Religions that offer an absolute peace seem to link humanity to the infinite. That absolute peace is nothingness.

267. Expanded corollary: The way back always lies ahead. (185, 261)

268. Far from repeating ourselves (267), however, we are ever in a process of redefining and rewriting history.

269. The past is always defined by and/or in terms of the future.

270. Most philosophical and theological precepts can be discovered, defined, or enlightened mathematically.

251. In all non-corrupt use of power, including that of vulnerability, there must also be a certain innocence. (180-181)

252. Vulnerability cannot be used as a trap. It must be genuine or it is powerless. That means that any intentional vulnerability must involve a genuine risk.

253. In short, vulnerability means that the person exercising vulnerable power is at risk for the outcome of such use. While you may willingly take responsibility for what happens to me, I cannot hold you responsible for the same.

254. Time (248) is a measurement just as feet or meters. It is irrelevant when there is no motion. If all things were at rest, there would be not time. (102-112)

255. All real numbers are positive. (46)

256. All real numbers have a cube root.

257. All numeric functions can be performed on any real number.

258. The multiplication of any real number by 0 is 0. The division of any real number by 0 is infinity (∞).

259. The opposite is also true. The multiplication of any real number by ∞ is ∞. The division of any real number by ∞ is 0.

260. ∞ and 0 are absolute opposites.

241. Voluntary participation in such a worldwide plan may be the only way to avoid forced participation in a world tyranny imposed by one or more superpowers.

242. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity shows that a measuring rod in motion is shorter than when at rest.

243. The density of an object, therefore, (201-206) increases when set in motion. Assuming a measuring rod to have a certain mass that remains constant, if it gets shorter when in motion and all other dimensions remain the same, then the mass is more compact or denser than when the rod is at rest.

244. Pendular Geometry (212-223) is defined in terms of positive tensions. These are as follows: One tension defines motion. Two tensions (non-parallel) define a line. Three tensions (non-parallel) define a plane. Four tensions (non-parallel) define space.

245. Thus, (220) Pendular Geometry is tri-axial when dealing with a plane (as opposed to Euclidean geometry’s two axes) and Pendular solid geometry is tetrahedronal (with four axes) instead of tri-axial as in Euclidean-based solid geometry.

246. There is never a negative tension. (85)

247. An increase in any tension (244) creates motion.

248. Thus, Pendular Tetrahedronal geometry includes time as a “physical” representation defined solely in terms of motion. (4^th Dimension) (102-111)

249. There is a certain amount of power in vulnerability.

250. Nearly everyone will accept responsibility (25) without thinking for the person who is constantly vulnerable.

231. Both education and meditation are necessary for the balance of a person. Education creates the structure for interrelation with other people. Meditation removes the barriers to intrarelation with oneself.

232. In Western (i.e. Industrial) civilization, people seem to have increasingly little contact with themselves. They/we seem not to know them/ourselves very well. When removed from the structure of society, they/we seem lost, with nothing to fall back on—no real knowledge of them/ourselves.

233. Pre-industrial civilization is marked by less education than industrial civilization. Its citizens have less ability to interact with a broad spectrum of society, but generally far more peace with oneself.

234. Peace is ever-elusive on a worldwide scale. It is rare enough on a national level. And, the larger the body, the more difficult achieving and maintaining peace becomes.

235. A first step toward peace should be a moratorium on the transport of military equipment and hardware across national boundaries. Wherever those boundaries are in dispute, a neutral zone should be created that includes both suggested boundaries and no military hardware or personnel should be allowed in that zone.

236. After military hardware has been frozen to its location and a reasonable time for training and adjustment is made, all military personnel should be withdrawn to their country of citizenship. This leaves the defense of all national borders to indigenous persons.

237. As adequate stockpiles of armaments are accrued in each nation, the manufacture of military hardware would be phased out, beginning with all offensive weapons and proceeding to even defensive weaponry. That does not mean that research, tooling and testing could not proceed, but that manufacture would cease.

238. Military hardware may be defined as anything for which the principal purpose could only be mass action against opposing forces.

239. The diversion of energy from military purposes to domestic purposes should lead to an adequate discovery in the field of energy that the future could see a uniform dismantling of all nuclear facilities, both military and domestic.

240. It would be hoped that the future would see a ban on the possession of any weapon which in use does not jeopardize the life of the assailant in equivalent measure to the victim.

 

Editor’s note: Wesley shows his naiveté in dealing with peace from a strictly theoretic standpoint, probably from his years of isolation. However his conclusion in 241 (to come) is compelling.
