Conscious Deployment of Human Intent?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This compilation of the minute elements that are involved specifically in batting and throwing a baseball is for the purpose of emphasizing the \u201cPrinciple\u201d from which their mechanics are derived. <\/a>Since I enjoy studying History and Science, especially the lives and times of prominent historical thinkers like Socrates, Plato, and their like, I conceived this book with the idea that my thoughts would be largely conveyed through the speaking voices of those renowned historical figures whose scholarly notoriety would certainly precede their advent into the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. (As well as those not so globally renowned but even more inherently influential in propagating the universal Law of Attraction!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n What better teachers could any student have than Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Planck, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle to expound the value of abiding under the principles which most assuredly lead to a more reasonable approach to learning anything from Science, Mathematics, Quantum Physics, Rational Thinking, to Hitting and Throwing a baseball? \u2013 (As well as ABRAHAM-Hicks to elucidate the fundamental and foundational Law of Attraction!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Albert Einstein\u2019s name was in the News a lot in the year 2000. He was no longer living but was voted \u201cThe Man of the Twentieth Century\u201d by most prominent magazines in our Nation and in the World. The publication of his \u201cRelativity Theories\u201d at the beginning of the 1900s, as well as some of his other prominent works, turned the world upside down with their simplistic but masterful, yet controversial innovations. When his theories were finally proven valid, and applicable to many areas of human endeavor, he (along with Nikola Tesla)was recognized as a genius, and truly the father of twentieth century enlightenment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ancient Prototypes<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have read Plato and are impressed with his Dialectic method of sequential teaching and learning (banter of stimulating questions for thoughtful and immediate reply to incrementally set the stage for advanced understanding), you might aspire to construct a contemporary setting in which the hero of his dialogues, Socrates, would be able to showcase his particularly intriguing talents with an emphasis on \u201cQuantum Reasoning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As history has shown, civilization has advanced along uncertain lines since the days of Socrates and Plato. But their wisdom, wherever society managed a foothold in honest and truthful expression, helped nurture countless generations in the march toward attaining the ideal environment in which to ferment a wholesome spiritual, mental, and physical existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Oracle of Delphi may have implied by its presumed deification of Socrates (as well as his literary progenitor, Plato), their lives and works were to be immortalized by the perpetuity of their essence throughout the centuries. Therefore, it would not seem too obscene a gesture for this \u201cdynamic duo,\u201d while transmigrating through Time and Space, to grace some of the noble edifices of our contemporary earthly confines, to observe the progress of man and offer whatever current wisdom emotes from their ever-astute minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their endless journey, to exact from hope the eternal promise of assurance that \u201cBecoming\u201d eventuates into \u201cTruest Being,\u201d finds these exhaustless searchers temporarily perusing such mundane achievements as twentieth and twenty-first century athletic events, with their grand and colossal architectural innovations. Most notable are Professional Baseball games, within the confines of the, at first modest, then gradually, elaborate \u201cBallpark\u201d and \u201cDomed-Stadium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Upon witnessing more than 100 years of development in this current Age\u2019s most civilized society, and delighting in the simple, yet intricate, design of its characteristically National Pastime, the perceptive eyes of our two wandering global advocates for universal expansion via enhanced enlightenment have observed a delineation of human culture and ethnicity, which marks an ethical and moral influence over this nation\u2019s prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Perched high above the clamor of enthusiastic fanfare, Socrates and Plato, as restrained spectators, quietly engage in their traditional dialogue about the nuances of the sporting activity they have become accustomed to enjoying as a game called Baseball. Their choices of viewing location vary along heavenly porches, upon the rooftop of any stadium that affords prime viewing of the glorious competition below, that triumphantly celebrates the athletic prowess of at least 18 stellar performers and enigmatically exemplifies the nation\u2019s struggle as a free-spirited and ebullient exponent of a workable \u201cdemocratic\u201d society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the relative solitude of their lofty perch, where only the faintness of extraneous sound vaporizes in a skyward trek, their philosophic impressions are innocently conveyed to each other in summations that only acquiesce to the game\u2019s simplistic<\/em> appeal. Plato sounds out the first volley of reasonable commentary with the words, \u201cSocrates, have we not been witnessing within the framework of organized athletics an activity which truly embodies the essence of divine intervention? Could mere human contrivance order such preciseness, from the trihedral dimensions of the field of play, to the definitive specifications and range of intricate function for the designated participants?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Socrates affirmatively replies with a nod, but quickly asks, \u201cHow can such heavenly synchronization be conjoined to the conscious deployment of human intent? Our rooftop observatory affords us the same sense of purity that we perceive when viewing the planet from the tranquil environment of Space, with no discernable sign of inhospitable conditions (except, perhaps, for the occasional cluster of frantic activists, after a slight miss-conveyance of logistical intent). But has not our own experience shown that beneath our high altitude of celestial serenity, there lurks the inimical earthy agency of subtle subterfuge? What would be our perspective of the game from \u2018ground-level\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDo we dare to retreat from our empyreal perch, from which vantage point a clear sense of unadulterated beauty remains uncontaminated?\u201d beckons Plato of Socrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Socrates asks in return, \u201cDo we really need to investigate the inner workings of this currently perceived masterpiece, and risk realizing a basis for fraudulent misgivings? If divinity instigates the structural mechanism for all overt action,<\/em><\/strong> why need we concern ourselves for the outward manifestation of complete and spontaneous responses to the given stimuli? Certainly, if there are subtleties that differentiate the ultimate quality of play, would not giving a face to a particular entity have a deleterious effect on our objective sense of the game, as well as induce a proclivity for unessential criticism?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Would it be mere feline-curiosity that we fancy, or perhaps an undefined notion that such deliberate restraint would attach the uncharacteristic complacency of an \u2018unexamined-life\u2019 as preferable to our own universal proclamation of the benefits that are bequeathed to those who invest in a thorough \u2018examination of life\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Plato confides, \u201cBy not examining the intricacies of the \u2018GAME,\u2019 are we not being deprived of knowledge, as intimate as \u2018Know Thy Self\u2019? \u2013 Of Whom to know is the expanse of TO-BE\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Conscious Deployment of Human Intent?
