FOREWORD
Thinking Outside the “IMP _ _ _ _ CT” Box
Simplicity is the integration and coordinated alignment of life’s infinite array of Quantum variables within the Unified Field Vibrational-Realm of Infinite understanding. Simplicity is not merely the onset of a primitive evolvement, but rather the culminating effect of organization – not merely the discovery of the “Quantum-wheel,” but its maximum utility by expanded sequential thinking. The more knowledge and better understanding, the Simpler the Organization and Utilization. The (one voice) to the universe sings in simple chords of harmonious function, changing random lifeless particle entanglement with Light’s disentangling order. – Analogous to precise functionality for Fielding, Throwing, and Hitting a Baseball. The only way to describe the best of ballplayers at his/her position, or at bat, is that “he/she makes it look simple.” Although it does appear to be simple, abiding by a strict discipline of simple mechanical redundancy, the best players have “perfected” the techniques for their particular positions through meticulous, repetitive practice, from which the human physical endeavor eventually seems effortless and instinctive. ((E.g. Dodger’s Freddy Freeman’s daily pre-game routine of catching balls thrown in the dirt for him to scoop at First Base which he accomplishes in games to the Penultimate degree. Also, the best of Pitching performance is always preceded by persistent practice to help ensure flawless delivery. – Studying the Bible or any prominent contextual document while confirming to memory for constant recollection demands a higher standard than a “speed-reader’s” quick overview.)
“LET THERE BE LIGHT”!
Science is the amplification of an invisible structure underlying the nature of things while metaphysics resolves things into thoughts and exchanges the mortal sense of material objects for ideals of Immortal Spiritual Soul. – The harmony of which is determined by the endorsement of its principle! – Thus, “there is no thing more spiritual than the manifested version of SPIRIT.” – A-Hicks.
While Astrology, Science and Physics are left to the especially astute minds whose inherent interests in the mundane world of triviality and sport are not quite so acute, there, non-the-less, is an appreciable concern of popular intent for recreation in leisurely fashion as a means of compensating for the stress and struggle of disentangling the corruptible aspects of the macro-world, in which the Universe is prominently displayed. The genius of those entrepreneurs who create such folly for the starving multitudes is sometimes heralded for its imaginative insight or condemned for ultimate depravity. (Baseball, as a Sporting Event, has become a masterful substitute for the archaic interventions of Gladiatorial debauchery that our ancient forefathers thought acceptable to their own warlike reminiscences.)
Quantum Physics, the observation and analysis of the micro-world, and Quantum Mechanics, the established mechanism by which that world is presumed to operate, are the study, application, and utilization of Matter via Ultra – Universal Laws that proceed to a human understanding of the most unseeable fundamental properties contained within the Particle Science of Atomic/Nuclear Energy. – The Hydrogen Atom with its tiny atomic number illustrates the simplicity by which its single circulating electron and singular proton nucleus with its quantumly affixed quarks (3) amass the energy to produce enormous power.
Atoms deal with energy as the economic world deals with money, always in multiples of the smallest quantity. One dollar equals 100 cents, and ten dollars equals 1,000 cents. All financial transactions in the U.S. and elsewhere are in multiples of a cent. For radiation, with its many waves of different frequencies, each frequency released relates to a minimum proportional “cent” of energy. Radiation of any particular frequency can only appear as multiples of its fundamental “cent,” which eminent physicist, Max Planck called quantum, a word that means the most minute portion of something (Lowest fundamental portion or denomination of Matter, Light, Spirit) – which can correlate to, “you are only as strong as your weakest link.” – And a batter or pitcher as good (or Perfect) as he/she eliminates every margin for error! – (Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani?)
My first Book, The Principle of Baseball… purposefully was to be a working manual to enhance anyone’s understanding of baseball skills and the precise implementation of them through the principles of simple “quantum” mechanics. But the meticulously detailed description of the minutia of persistent facts was felt to go beyond the overt thought-level of the ordinary sports fan, as well as the average ball player. – They’d rather engage speculative sense perception!
It has become apparent to me that most Americans who have become familiar with the great Game of Baseball, with varying degrees of passion throughout the decades, are more enthralled with what appears to the physical senses as random, spontaneous FUN instead of a scientifically artistic practice and quantumly reinforced Talent! Many kids there are who often wish, at least momentarily, that they could eventually have a career as a professional Major League Baseball player. But, as they grow older, out of Little Leagues and other progressive Sandlot organizations, they recognize their skill levels don’t match up to those who have been better schooled with more time and reinforced fundamental inoculation. So, they find other sports that do not have as many perplexing skill standards, or they concentrate on their studies. They will still appreciate the game’s uniqueness and eventually take their own children to professional ballgames and enroll them in Little League, but merely to give them the opportunity to have “baseball fun” and maybe become one whose natural propensity for the game enlists the attention of baseball scouts or Travel Team coaches, in one last hope for improbable immortal-stardom.
But, of all those individuals who continue to play in the higher echelons of Sandlot, High School and College Baseball, very few make it to the Professional ranks and even fewer to the “Big-Leagues.” That’s why it’s a good idea to take advantage of a “paid college education” while continuing promising Baseball Pursuits. Even if you don’t qualify for the Major Leagues, (you probably had the Potential but didn’t have the scientifically sound scrutiny), you now can study for a career in another area of Life, somehow faintly analogous to the substantive value of Baseball – like MLB T.V.’s magnificent Greg Amsinger.
It would be presumptuous to assert that the Simplicity attached to my Perfect Practice of Baseball fundamentals would ensure every student of becoming proficient enough to make it to the Big Leagues. The Simplicity Principle of Baseball is intended to awaken in every advocate of the game an easy and simple means to facilitate proper mechanics necessary to improve his/her play. Things contrived are never really simple; but understanding the intricacies of elements that sustain a natural order makes it possible to simplify/clarify that which often appears complex/difficult.
By reading this book and absorbing its content, any aspirant to baseball success will recognize the difficulty of attaining proficiency but will no longer despair in trial-and-error forays that often depress artistic and energetic initiative. By gaining an understanding of the minute details of the specific movements involved in the specialized aspects of the game, an amateur athlete can gain a greater appreciation for what it takes to possibly emulate and/or supersede the performances of an outstanding player.
The rules are simple and orderly. To abide by them and commit them to proper interpretation are what seem to be difficult, especially to those who prefer to act on their own fallible human mortal senses instead of a sound basic principle. Mary Baker Eddy, a prominent innovative 19th century pragmatist makes this statement for our consideration, “The higher false knowledge builds on the basis of evidence obtained from the physical senses, the more confusion ensues and the more certain is the downfall of its structure.” Therefore, understand SIMPLICITY!
To “believe assuredly” is to have absolute faith in a proven principle. On the human level it’s hard to find an “Absolute” belief in which to have Absolute faith. True consciousness, in all of us, can discern the correct path to take, the right doctrine to espouse, and the most plausibly scientific way to play baseball.
The scientific principle of Baseball is not going to secure a successful application. But a ball player with faith in the “Perfect principle,” and the patience and courage to live by, and practice it unflinchingly, has the best chance to accomplish his/her goal of being a prominently successful “Major-Leaguer.”
When scientific principles are universally understood, every truly “single-minded” Sports enthusiast or Quantum Physicist will be his/her own diagnostician, and the Light of Truth will always be the universal panacea.
Remember, Science is the amplification of that invisible but vibrational structure whose Reality underlies the nature of things to be manifested.
