4 PRELUDE The Revelation In the summer of 2004, I experienced what I call the Revelation. The main ideas presented in this book popped into my head, fully formed, in one night as I was sleeping, in the form of a multi-dimensional memory without words or letters, containing only ideas and images fused together. It was quite unusual and very beautiful. Think of a blueprint composed of images: images that interact with each other in ways that physically demonstrate mathematical and logical relationships. This blueprint, which came in three distinct parts, depicted a multi-dimensional space in which my mind could wander, full of understanding displayed as ideas, equations, and images but no words. After that night, whenever I think about certain questions, a distinct part of the Revelation becomes visible. That part is a vision or image of something happening, like gas molecules in a cloud heating up. The blueprint has linkages across biological, mathematical, physical, and spiritual understandings, including how the human mind evolved here on Earth. It is now the spring of 2009, and what you hold in your hands is my attempt over the past five years to put much of what appeared in that Revelation into words. I have not done justice to the Revelation with this book. I am ashamed of my lack of ability to translate these images and abstract ideas into an understandable combination of words. In fact, in several places in the book, I ve had to invent words to try to convey a concept. I ve included a Lexicon in Appendix V for that reason. My first efforts were so unintelligible, even my friends couldn t read them. In fact, I re-wrote the book over 20 times before showing it to a friend who did find it comprehensible. That friend was Dr. Mark Richards. At that point, Dr. Richards stepped in and has helped tremendously with the translation of these ideas, although even he and I needed five more re-writes before we were satisfied. To him and his wonderful family, I am eternally grateful. I hope that when the ideas presented here resonate with events and ideas experienced in your own life, you will begin to see the more complete picture of these concepts for yourself. I am describing a vision of the world that can only be understood after you throw all your pre-existing mental constructs and prejudices aside and embrace the vision, even if momentarily. Once you do that, you will clearly see the world in a more understandable and much less confusing manner. After observing enough events explained by what you will learn in this book, you may feel confident using this interpretation of life full time. The ideas in the book are highly unconventional, but once you see their truths, you ll notice them everywhere. I hope this translation of the Revelation, brought to you by Dr. Richards and myself, will enrich your life. The Book is Presented in Three Main Parts The first section, or Book I, is the Peace Machine Hypothesis. It s the story of how man s mind and brain got here, from an evolutionary standpoint. It explains how our development as a social species was directly affected by that evolving brain structure, something still true today. This important section presents a few different, rather novel ideas that explain how Darwinism shapes our society, our laws, and even our customs. I explore how Darwinism affects our personal and societal relationships, and, finally, why science and spiritual belief, which appear to be in conflict, are not opposed at all.

5 Book II is the explanation of the economic theory contained within the second part of the Revelation. This new explanation of economics, entitled Market- Fences builds upon the framework of our new understanding of the human brain as it relates to the Peace Machine Hypothesis. Briefly, the human species novel brain structure affects our output of goods and services, and ultimately the distribution systems that transfer wealth inside human society. I have resorted to an analogy to express this concept within this section of the book. The production and distribution of goods and wealth resembles a gas cloud. Humans and assets are like molecules in the cloud. They transfer heat (money) from molecule to molecule (person to person, asset to asset) depending on the productivity multiplier sitting atop each molecule (person/asset). Our existing legal and financial systems don t take full advantage of these principles, which is a big limitation on human society. Although the ideas expounded don t appear sexy or important on the surface, the information contained in this section is essential for each man and woman to understand if we are to prosper instead of perish as a species. The antitrust and Market-Fences part, in particular, was given great weight/specificity in the Revelation. The third section is the last and the most important of the three: God is Love. This concept is inseparable from the Unified Field Theory, a theory that explains the interconnection of God, physics, and the world we live in right down to the atom. The Revelation came with a lot of data, all interrelated and beautifully linked together: one principle supporting another, flowing from mankind s early development to the physics of the universe and then back into focusing on mankind and his relationship with God. To The Atheists If I partially lost the atheists here, I understand, because for many years I was one. But stay open-minded, and your opinion may change. Here is a little test. Stand in front of a blackboard with chalk in hand. Pretend that your professor has asked you to write a formula mathematically expressing the universe. The only information he has given you is that the universe you are to describe has a God. Work on that awhile. You will quickly realize that you cannot mathematically express this situation without including God in that formula. If there is a God in the universe, we must account for Him/Her/It: in our calculations, in our daily life planning, and in our science--all of our science--as well as our spirituality. Why can t a more complex level of consciousness exist above us on the evolutionary ladder, a consciousness of which we are ignorant and unaware, just as the ant is unaware of the level of human comprehension? Humans can clearly see hundreds of species below us on the evolutionary ladder, all lacking comprehension of a more complex rung above them, each possibly assuming it is the top rung exactly as we do and all of them wrong. Why? Because man is in denial, about being a killer, about being a liar, and about the other choice God offers him. He is a predator capable of destroying every species on this planet, including his own. But he can be something far greater than that through the exertion of free will and the use of the Peace Machine section of his brain. Essentially, man can use effort, concentration, or to put it another way--a mental nexus to realize there is a choice that comes not just from programmed, patterned, or instinctive behavior. However, that requires understanding both sides of the equations we are using to define the universe and that s what I hope to do with this book.

6 About Me Before I conclude this preface, I must confess: I am not a good man. When I was married, I cheated on my wife. I left her and two wonderful children through divorce. I lied practically every day of my life, and I hurt a lot of people along the way. I cheated virtually every system I came across in one way or the other, all my life. Looking at me from the surface, you would not observe any of this. I appeared happy to help others; in fact I was highly successful in the eyes of society. In reality, looking back after the Revelation, I ve concluded that I helped others only when it suited my purposes, made me look good, or otherwise directly benefited me. And, as mentioned, I was a complete atheist. I could, and did, lecture for hours about how stupid people were for believing in a fairy tale about historical characters and miracles in the past. Furthermore, I took delight in exposing the religious stories, contradictions, fake miracles, money shakedowns, and holy wars, using my skill as a speaker to rip apart believers with that information. As this book will point out, the world I was looking at through those eyes was, and is, real. That is the irony. I was using a behavioral pattern successful for survival, and I had an existential honor system that I obeyed--but not for the right reasons or the right motivations, and therefore I was blind to real truth. I was living completely in denial. You may be wondering: If some higher order of consciousness does exist, why would it (God) put a revelation into the head of a self-described loser? I do not know the answer, other than to say that He must have known I would write it down. In every other way; I am undeserving. That is not false humility; it is the truth. It has been an all-consuming struggle to interpret what s in the Revelation and translate it into words. If you meet me, you will be disappointed with what you find. Take these ideas, and then forget me. I talk about the ideas in this book as if they are my own, because they flow out of my brain. But I am not that smart. I would have needed three or four college degrees to make the linkages across disciplines that appear in this book and I don t even have one degree. Until the Revelation, I had no idea of the interrelationships of the physical, spiritual, and emotional worlds, nor any idea of the complexity of the threads that run through everything. How else could I have discovered that every black hole at the center of every galaxy is part of the same black hole? (Unified Field Theory Explained. Book III, chapter 2.) Prelude: Conclusion Don t be discouraged by the early chapters if you re an optimist, and don t be put off by the ending if you re a pessimist. Each of the truths revealed in this book requires all the others. They are forever interconnected. The ideas are presented in a specific order, as laid out in the Revelation. I believe that everyone can see the Revelation s core truths. If you drop your intellectual conceits, ideas, ego, and pride, the understanding will come easily. But if you insist on clinging to your current beliefs, this book also mentions the scientific basis for these truths. It is science that you can research and read about on your own. The main reason we usually don t see God s message to us is that our own thoughts, beliefs, problems, ideas, and convictions are in the way. You have to stop shouting at yourself before it is quiet enough to hear God whispering to you. I set this book s price above that of the average hardcover because even though people are thirsty for knowledge, the human brain perversely distorts value and cost. If this book were inexpensive or, worse, free, the reader would simply place that value on it: nearly worthless. If the Earth charged us for every barrel of oil we pumped out of her, we probably would have acted more rationally and not only used less

7 oil but developed reliable and affordable alternatives along the way instead of having burned up half of the world s known supply. We spent billions upon billions, back when that was big money, to go to a cold rock in space orbiting our planet, while the magnificent machine that every single one of us carries around between our ears that drives our entire existence has barely been researched. Read this book with an open mind, and I promise that many of the mysteries in your life will finally make sense. For perhaps the first time, you will have the tools to do great things and be happy in your life going forward. You want understanding that begins with your everyday life and stretches past the cosmos to the heavens? I ve written this for you. Make a commitment to give your brain a chance. Read this book carefully, even if it takes you a month, and then read it again. Think of it as the first operation manual for the human brain. That s what this is all about in the end: your brain and the truth. If you navigate these first few chapters, which I admit are somewhat challenging, I promise you the power to find the truth: in your life, your heart, and the rest of the world. From Dr. Richards, the Translator: To understand the true nature of the human mind is the key to understanding all that humans created. With deep understanding, we can restructure our personal, societal, and national systems/actions to mutual benefit. To understand the creation of the universe is the key to understanding why we are here, how we got here, and our maker s prime directive to us. If we fail to achieve either understanding, we are as doomed a species as the powerful dinosaurs before us. This work was motivated by love in the hope that we may continue to evolve toward a finer creation.

8 Introduction The Peace Machine Revealed This book is a collection of ideas. Some of them you will recognize, and some are very different from what you ve ever read or heard. The early parts of the book describe a system I call the Peace Machine. This system exists inside your brain and is the manner by which you make and execute every important decision in your life. It begins with the premise that you have a second brain, and a second mind, contained within the physical organ we currently think of as the brain. The Peace Machine process is derived from the human brain s unique architecture and the resultant routing of each individual s knowledge and memory flow. It is our unique architectural brain design that exerts control over human behavior to create a social brain (in essence, a Peace Machine), which allows predator/killer humans to live together in groups without the bloodshed that would negate the advantages gained. That s right: This won t be hard to learn, because the Peace Machine is already in your head; you use it every day and don t even know it. Go to secure ordering page
