• Utilitarian Easter Eggs (UEEs)

    This grows out of a discussion from another of my blog posts, inspired by a post by hblavatsky about a possible temporo-spacial anomaly on Noah's Ark

    One would think that Noah would be able to accomplish just about anything in building his Ark, since the directions supplied by God (the designer) might have included all sorts of clever "hacks" allowing end-runs around the restrictions of conventional physics, chemistry, and biology. Such hacks would allow actions similar to entering and exiting the Matrix (as in, the global simulation depicted in the movie having that name). I can imagine that a clever designer could include pressure points and worm-holes in the structure of the Universe allowing those who knew of their existence to bypass its normal laws. These would be similar to the Easter Eggs I mentioned in an earlier blog post, but they'd be UTILITARIAN as opposed to REVELATORY. (I can see that soon we're going to be needing a glossary of terms for our newly-emerging field of Metaphysical Designer Theory.) By building things having certain specific shapes and features that tap into these Utilitarian Easter Eggs (UEEs), someone receiving instructions from God could make space ships, time-traveling devices, teleporters, perpetual motion machines, and even (perhaps) fountains of youth. Even if the UEEs didn't exist at the beginning of such a project, an interactive designer, approving of some human's technological project, could intercede to create a UEE after the fact, sort of like Microsoft creating a new API (Application-Program Interface) allowing some new internet service to communicate with Internet Explorer. So someone building something in faith (like the crude airport built by a Polynesian cargo cult) might actually be able to access unimaginable power beneath the scrim.

    What I find scary in all of this is the possibility that the Moral Fabric of the Universe might have similar UEEs embedded in it, allowing someone to kill, rape, get an abortion, watch pornography, take drugs, molest children, or steal without having to pay consequences in the afterlife. This might seem like an impossibility, but, if one allows me to be theological for a moment, we already know "the Lord works in mysterious ways": Jesus had to die for our sins, and someone had to kill Him, and those who killed Him were DOING THE LORD'S WORK. So perhaps Judas and the scourging Centurions are all in Heaven. The Lord also routinely destroys churches (even fundamentalist ones) using tornados. So we can't discount the possibility that a truly evil person might find a UEE allowing him to kill millions, live a thousand years, and then breeze on into the Kingdom of Heaven, perhaps without even having to die first.

    This is wonderful, have you presented your work to the Frontline Research Group? I'm sure they would appreciate it.

    I think this explains another phenomena - from time to time holy people are depicted as surrounded by halos or auras. For an example of what I mean, take a look at some Byzantine church artwork. This effect is clearly described in the Transfiguration.

    It's possible that a halo is really some kind of field surrounding a UEE, decaying according to an inverse-square law. While the space enclosed by a UEE need not obey any known laws of physics the space surrounding a UEE phenomena will be affected as you might expect in standard materialistic science: Specifically some kind of harmless glow resembling a cherenkov aura.

    Just think how much energy might be stored in even a minuscule volume of UEE space - I challenge a materialist to claim that there is no value in being able to tap into this energy supply. Perhaps this is one of the coded messages the designer has left for us, and the real value of ID, because it forces us to reject the pure-materialistic dogma that will prevent us from realizing our full potential.
