E=MC Squared

The last time I saw my beloved Uncle Roy when he was cognoscente, he gave me a bible his mother had inscribed and an autograph book from his childhood.  The bible’s front cover was torn off and the autograph book tattered and stained with age.  My Uncle had few possessions except the books that lined his trailer. I know his autograph book had special meaning to him, but I was surprised at the gift of the bible.

I used to have passionate discussions about God and my “signature” theory with my Uncle Roy.  Because of family members and others who interpreted the bible as fundamentalist, my uncle had difficulty in seeing the love of God in the bible, just the twisted interpretations that had been preached at him.   In our debates he would remain a staunch atheist.   My uncle taught physics, chemistry, literature and French and after retiring, would sit for hours in his trailer smoking cigarettes, drinking coffee, and thinking.

On August 30, 1995, I wrote to him, “although Lithium has saved many lives, the medical society treats it as a disorder instead of an expansion of the mind.  The problem I am trying to solve is as follows:

There are limits to what one person can do.

There are no limits to what the world can do.

I further wrote “I am creating a strategy to develop communication skills in everyone so they can process a hundred alternatives at one time instead of just one or two.  We limit ourselves and therefore limit the expansion of the brain.  We can change this through indirect communication and symbolism.  I am trying to create my own job and network this idea throughout the world.  What do you think?  Does it sound interesting?  Do you like my quote?  Can you improve upon it?”

Years later, Uncle Roy answered my question with the gift of the autograph book and the bible.  He had concluded, there were limits to what the world can do and answered with the bible and the autograph book.  The problem needed to be restated as.

“There are limits to what one person or the world can do.

There are no limits to what God can do.
