IS "SPEAKING IN TONGUES" RELATIVITY ?
.
The oldest known "popular evidence" for
the existence of God – is known today as
"Speaking in Tongues".
...Although it is mentioned in the Old Testament
it became world famous in the New Testament
after Jesus's death when on the day of Pentecost
his followers were gathered for a feast and
began en masse "speaking in tongues".
Since that time in Christianity it has emerged
as the leading "pop science" demonstration
of the existence of the "Holy Ghost", a.k.a God.
.
HERE I wish to advance the theory that this
well known phenomena can now be "rigorously"
scientifically explained by the newly discovered
"God Metric".
.
IN OTHER WORDS I am here to assert that
the peculiar vocal (tonality) associated
with "speaking in tongues" is actually explained
by a VARIABILITY of the"time dilation factor",
(-1/a²), which appears in the Hammond God
Metric.
.
|a² o o o. |
|o a² o o. | = HAMMOND METRIC OF GOD
|o o a² o. |
|ooo-1/a²|
.
Since as you know, this Metric represents the
.
line element = ds² = a²(dx²+dy²+dz²) - dt²/a²
.
Which shows us that the factor (-1/a²) is the
"time dilation factor" in the metric.
.
For those of you not familiar with writing a
2nd rank tensor as a 4 x 4 matrix let me
show you the well known FLRW (Astrophysics)
metric (a.k.a. the Friedman metric) –
.
|a² o o o. |
|o a² o o. | = FRIEDMANN (FLRW) METRIC
|o o a² o. |
|o o o..-1.|
.
This happens to be the world's most highly
studied space-time metric and rules all of
Astrophysics to this day. It is the fundamental
space-time metric of the entire universe.
(Here written in Cartesian coordinates.)
.
The factor a=a(t) is of course the well known
"expansion scale factor" of the universe which
causes the universe to expand approximately
7%/gigayear which causes both the Hubble red
shift and the cosmic microwave background.
.
We notice in passing that the FLRW only
expands space while the God metric actually
"contracts" both space and time. Of course
a=a(t) is DIFFERENT in the 2 metrics. a=3.5
for a human being at birth and decreases to
about 1.18 at adulthood 20 years later. By
contrast "a" in the FLRW is nearly 1 and only
increases very slowly into the future !
.
This is because the FLRW is describing the
real PHYSICAL universe, while the God metric
is describing a massless IMAGE (a picture)
of the universe that exists in our MIND. I refer
to this image as "subjective space-time"
(some people call it "reality") -- as contrasted
with "objective space-time" which is the real
physical universe as measured by Astrophysics.
.
Hence we notice that the
FLRW metric has to obey Einstein's gravity
equations – while the God metric does not
have to obey Einstein's equations, because it
is "massless" and contains no energy,
momentum, or gravity. Nevertheless, objects
in this massless image can change size and
speed up or slow down. In fact regardless of
what other behavior they exhibit; BECAUSE
the human body grows larger and our brain
gets faster as we grow up -- objects in the
IMAGE get uniformly smaller and slower as
we grow up ! And this is a "relativistic"
contraction and slowing down of the
"subjective universe"; and this is the World
that we actually SEE as an image in our mind !
.
Speaking in tongues is "purely transcendental
(tonal) sound communication"
it has no "logical information content"
Such as "tra la la, twillidy dee dee"
or "Peter Piper packed a peck of pickled peppers"
which does contain some information and is a
milder upwards demonstration of speaking in
tongues!
... Other examples from the animal kingdom are:
. The call of a lone Wolf late at night !
. The roar of a lion
. The sound of a charging elephant
. The simple bark of a dog
. The meow of a cat
Animals it appears, speak entirely in "tongues".
. ... These are all elemental forms of "speaking in
tongues" they are all "psychologically informative"
because the sound reveals the animals capability
of reaching a state of "higher mental perception"!
In short, it's intent is to inform the hearer of the
animals' "awareness of God"! This is particularly
true of the threatening call of a wolf at night!
.
Apparently humans originally spoke entirely
in "tongues" just like animals do – but slowly
began to identify objects and processes with
guttural sounds – and thus modern speech
was developed !
.
As a demonstration of all this – consider the
cry of a wolf in the wilderness late at night
in the winter. The legendary change in pitch
of the cry immediately informs the hearer that
the animal is AWARE of different levels of
perceptual awareness in all animals, and his
call threatens any opponent by informing him
that he actually possesses a hidden and
HIGHER perceptual awareness that makes him
extremely dangerous in a confrontation. This
well known "Wolf call" is legendary worldwide
and is enough to make the hair stand up on
your arms when heard! It is a warning to others
that the Wolf is in possession of a powerful
knowledge of "God". Of course a wolf doesn't
call it "God" like we do, but he knows what it is !
.
NOW GETTING BACK TO THE POINT – – –
.
It is known that no adult is actually fully grown.
The world average according to WHO, UNESCO
and others, for adults is about 85% and
in Third World countries growth stunting of
30 and even 40% is not uncommon due to
chronic starvation and disease.
.... If you are only 85% fully grown, and since
1/.85=1.18, this means that you actually SEE
a world that appears 18% larger and 18% faster
than it ACTUALLY is ! And this unnerving
phenomenon has been universally called
"God" for thousands of years !
.... Basically what it means is that our brain
is only 85% fully grown – which means that 15%
of our mind is "unconscious" and only 85%
is actually conscious.
.... Long experience as shown that
dividing line between conscious and
unconscious is slightly VARIABLE.
On some occasions, the boundary line
may move noticeably up or down. If
it moves down, it is called "depression",
and if it moves up it is called
"enlightenment". Moreover, we are able
to consciously move the boundary when
desirable. IOW it is possible to "play stupid"
or when necessary, is possible to become
"more intelligent" or enlightened !
.... In fact, some people are able to move
this boundary line "up and down" at will !
And they do so in order to gain an advantage
under certain social circumstances.
.... In fact the Lone Wolf in the above paragraph
is able to move the boundary line up and down
in his perception while he's making his howl !
Human beings, can in fact move it up and down
while they're interacting with other people –
while talking or singing, negotiating, or acting.
... TALKING IN TONGUES is a highly visible
and historic, example of this PERCEPTUAL
ability !
.
MENTALLY MOVING THIS BOUNDARY is
equivalent to changing the magnitude of
"a=a(t)" in the above GOD METRIC!
.
So to wrap this thing up, it appears that
"speaking in tongues" in scientific terms
is actually a form of "speaking relativistically"
.
