A Journey from Dust to Consciousness
The billions of galaxies with stars, planets, and moons are all made of the same substance: dust from the universe.
Unlike other lifeforms on Earth, humans possess consciousness—and we’ve created fields of knowledge that are stored in libraries, on the internet, and elsewhere.
Even now, there are some humans that are creating new fields of knowledge, and when they die, they’ll be remembered. They will no doubt influence new thinkers that add to and expand upon their knowledge.
But our fields of knowledge seem to be driving us to use enormous amounts of energy, and we need to consider alternatives, such as a worldwide power network based on solar and wind power.
This book examines those ideas and many others, and while its author believes in a Creator, he thinks it’s up to individuals to decide whether to pray or not to pray.
The overall message is that we must work as hard as we can in our chosen fields to become a star and shape the future for those that come after us as we continue A Journey from Dust to Consciousness.
Heaven and Earth
Human beings have the ability to store knowledge very accurately. Increased knowledge has resulted in a changing view of heaven and earth. The rules and laws of heaven have resulted in the fields of heaven. The rules and laws of earth have resulted in the fields of earth.
We know that the fields of knowledge on earth have rules and laws made by many bright human beings. It is difficult to imagine rules and laws coming into existence on their own. This implies that the rules and laws of heaven and earth are the work of a Creator. The limitation of the individual human senses and the collection of human knowledge in the ever-increasing fields of knowledge has resulted in the rapid development of machines. Machines do not need food and water to sustain themselves. Machines are designed to convert a fuel source like electricity or petroleum directly into energy to do a required task or work. Machines may be worn out with extensive use, but they do not experience health problems, viral attacks, or psychological and organ problems.
The earth is full of machines to make life and living more comfortable. We have machines like telescopes to explore the heavens, and we have rockets and probes to take us into the heavens. We have machines to explore the atoms and elements that exist on earth. We have machines like microscopes to explore the cells that result in life. Finally, we have computers that can be networked to communicate and store data and information in a very reliable manner. Hence, though the rules of heaven and earth made human beings, it is the human beings who made machines through the fields of knowledge. Machines have made it possible to take human consciousness to other worlds of the Milky Way Galaxy and the other galaxies in Heaven, to make the dust on other worlds conscious. It is amazing to think that the whole process was planned by the Creator.
A Message from the Neighbours
In the near future, Earth is depleted of natural resources but peace reigns over the planet. Director of Space Research Joseph Samuels has an important task as he explores the universe. After so many years of silence, Earth’s radio telescopes detect an intelligent signal from a small vessel heading towards our solar system. It’s a miraculous scientific breakthrough, but the signal also begs the question: is Earth in danger from outside invaders?
To develop a plan of action, Joseph meets with experts in religion, defense, and science. The plan is set: Earth will send two astronauts in an unarmed shuttle to intercept the incoming vessel. Luckily, the mysterious space probe locks onto the astronauts’ radio signal and makes a connection. A robot named “Interface” contacts the Earth shuttle and explains he has been programmed to be peaceful, but nothing is certain in this brave new world.
With information from Interface, the astronauts return to Earth and meet with Joseph. The science gleaned from Interface could change everything we ever believed about space and our place in it. With alien life no longer a theory but a fact, what will Joseph do with this new information, and what long-ranging consequences might his actions set in motion?
Earth’s Reply
In 2503, the World Council re-elects Samuels as Director of Space Research. He is tasked with developing a reply to the message delivered by the alien robot Interface. After many stops and starts, the Directors decide to send a robot, Nuwoman, to track and follow Interface, who they believe is returning to his alien civilisation.
The twenty-sixth century has seen rapid development in space technology and robotics. Habitats have been developed on the Moon and Mars, all in an attempt to set up ways to track the spaceships of both Interface and Nuwoman. However, Interface does not behave as expected. Instead of returning to his alien civilisation, he makes a detour.
He lingers in the shadows of the Alpha Centauri triple star system, waiting for Nuwoman. Interface becomes infatuated with the development of Nuwoman. This incredible meeting of two like minds is both intellectual and romantic — and not at all what the Directors expected.
Nevertheless Earth’s reply to the message from the neighbours is a success.
The Alien World
At last, an Empire where the Sun is monitored and controlled so that it can shine for an extended period of time and where the dust is converted to consciousness not only in the worlds of the Milky Way Galaxy but in the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy. With the further potential of extending the Empire by bringing consciousness to all the galaxies of the universe.
Although this is a dream, with the current rate of expansion in the millions of Fields of Knowledge on the Earth, this may be a dream that will become true in the future.
With consciousness existing in all the galaxies of the universe, the scene will be set for Mind to monitor and control the vast resources of Matter in the universe.
Fields
Fields is the last link to the other five books, it shows how the Dust in Heaven follows the macroscopic rules to make the Black Hole Fields, the Galaxy Fields, the Star Fields, and the Planetary and Moon Fields. The Planetary and Moon Fields have rules that allow matter to exist in Inanimate Fields and Animate Fields. Earth provides the essential environments that have the temperature, the pressure, the air, the water, the elements, and the food necessary for life to exist in the different biomes.
Life starts out simple searching for food and water. This process is helped by the development of sensors connected to a brain. Within ecosystems, plants make their own food, animal herbivores prey on plants while animal omnivores prey on other animals. Only human beings pray to a Creator. This resulted in caring for the Creator’s creation. Villages were created where crops were grown and animals were domesticated. The human senses were used to develop the Language, Art, Dancing, and Singing Fields. With cultural development came the need to store information and data. This led to the creation of the Writing Field where information was stored in books that were stored in libraries. This was the start of the Fields of Knowledge. Today we have an Information and Data Storage Field where data is stored electronically on hard drives, compact discs, memory sticks and computers. Data can be accessed via computers which are easily available via an extensive Computer and Information Technology Field. It is amazing to think that the dust in a cloud circling a Black Hole can achieve that without the help of a Creator.
This book shows that though the Matter in Heaven is large and vast, it appears to go through the same life cycles as the living Matter on Earth namely birth, youth, middle age, old age and death. Just as the stars make the elements which they release into Space when they die, making way for new stars with more exotic elements and compounds, so also, human beings join the Fields of Knowledge and release information into the Fields of Knowledge to make ever more interesting Fields for new future stars to come into existence. The ancients believed that Earth was the geometrical center of the Universe and everything revolved around the Earth.
They, were only partly correct, through Fields we can see that the Earth is not the geometrical center but the center for knowledge and consciousness. As everything we know about the Universe is understood and measured on the Earth through the Fields of Knowledge. Perhaps, the most interesting lesson to learn from Fields is not to prey needlessly on lifeforms living in their biomes, instead pray to the Creator to give us the wisdom to make machines and cities that will help us live in harmony on the Earth, and help us to take our consciousness and the Fields of Knowledge to other stars and galaxies, so that the we have a Universe with both mind and matter.
The Mathematical Field: Part 1 - Measurements
While writing this book, I felt intuitively that readers would want to know whether the Creator knew about the Mathematical Field. I have answered the question in one section of this book. Unfortunately, I do not know whether you will agree with me because as I mention in the book, human beings have free will.
The book shows the beauty and purity of the Mathematical Field, particularly how the numbers follow specific rules to form different systems like Binary, Octal, Decimal, Duodecimal, and Hexadecimal, where they can have different place values. It is significant that the decimal system suits human beings and our design of 10 fingers and 10 toes for counting seems to be no accident. The rules of the decimal system allows the numbers to be easily added, subtracted, multiplied and divided. Even the higher functions of calculating square roots, cube roots, Sine, Cosine, Tan, logarithms, and exponentials can be easily calculated using a simple calculating machine. The numbers form sequences and series. The arithmetic and geometric series enable easy calculation of numbers using formulae. All the periodic functions like Sine, Cosine, Tan, and ex can be expressed as a series. The Algebraic Arm has shown us how lines and curves can be expressed as simple equations, which we can visualise on the Cartesian Plane in two dimensions. Through differentiation and integration, we can sketch curves and calculate areas and volumes. In the Geometric Arm, we can visualise the points forming lines and the lines forming different slopes and different angles. Geometry also shows the different formations the lines can take—three lines to form triangles, four lines to form quadrilaterals, five lines to form pentagons, and many other shapes with more lines. Geometry also shows the purity of the conic sections forming hyperbolas, ellipses, parabolas, and circles with specific equations and characteristics that enable them to be easily sketched. The manner in which the two foci of the ellipse can come together to form the beautiful circle with one centre and one radius is amazing. Although the Cartesian Plane is more of an algebraic way of showing points in terms of x and y coordinates from an origin of (0,0), the Geometric Arm has shown that points can be described geometrically, as a distance and an angle from an origin. Geometry has also shown us how points around a circle can be drawn as Sine and Cosine waves, which generate the numerous trigonometric identities.
The Mathematical Field shows the importance of measurements, which has led to standardisation and mass production of goods and services. This has obviously made things easy for the large populations supported in the cities and towns all over the world. The Mathematical Field has also made it possible to draw and design objects before manufacture and construction; this eliminates errors and wastage.
Numbers are essentially pure producing the same results when put in equations and formulae. Human beings and the Fields of Knowledge can produce uncertain results because of the free will issue. Mathematics allows for this in Probability Theory, a branch of Arithmetic Arm. The Sporting Field is full of probability associated with the results. If five horses are running in a race, there is only a certain probability that a particular horse will win. Also, if one tossed a coin, there is only a 50% chance of getting a head and a 50% chance of not getting a head. Probability Theory shows how to calculate the chances of certain events occurring.
Finally, The Mathematical Field shows us how to sort the data accumulated in many of Fields of Knowledge to produce useful statistical data and generate formulae and applications in many other Fields of Knowledge, some of which will be considered in my next book.
The Mathematical Field: Part 2 - Applications
The Mathematical Field: Part 2 – Applications
The arithmetic, algebraic and geometric applications can be seen by human beings in:
1) The Fields of the galaxies, stars, planets and moons in Heaven.
2) The Fields of Knowledge in the numerous cities of the Earth.
This book includes:
1) How numbers, letters, words, books, pictures and even product prices can be represented, and even transmitted to anywhere in the world using waves, binary arithmetic, programming and machines.
2) How algebraic equations are used to see the relationship between different entities. Algebraic quantities can be plotted using Cartesian Co-ordinates to establish a graphical relationship between different quantities. Also, we can see how Boolean Algebra, Electronic Gates and Programming can be used to develop circuits which produce very logical results.
3) How geometry and the equations for the conical sections can be used to describe the orbits of the planets and moons. This also allows us to calculate the orbits of satellites and the velocity required to keep satellites and machines in orbit around stars, planets and moons. By being able to calculate escape velocities from stars, planets and moons, we have been provided with a means to escape from the Earth and even the star and galaxy.
4) How scalar quantities such as temperature and pressure can form different rules for different planets but they are merely numbers. Whereas, vector quantities such as Gravitational Fields, Electric Fields and Magnetic Fields also have rules for the orbiting planets and moons, electric positive and negative charges and iron magnets respectively.
It is amazing how the Electric and Magnetic Fields are linked together to produce such useful machines like motors, generators, transformers, contactors, solenoids and many other interesting devices to allow human beings to design and construct Switchgear and Controlgear Assemblies which allow for the automatic control and protection of machines.
It is also amazing how waves can be used to carry alternating current and power to cities all over the world, while radio waves can also be used to carry data and information at speeds of gigabits per second.
Even the Electromagnetic Spectrum and visible light are made up of particles moving in waves. Our eyes are sensors that can detect visible light waves and our brains receive sensations of colour. Our ears are sensors that can detect sound waves and our brains can interpret the sensations as speech. Using mathematics and machines we can convert visual and sound data into binary numbers which can be sent on carrier waves anywhere on the Earth and displayed on machines.
Mathematics and in particular the formula E = mc2 shows us that mass and energy are interlinked and energy is more like a wave, while mass is more like a particle.
We have to thank the Creator for giving us the consciousness to understand the Mathematical Field and the machines that help us lead more constructive lives in the Fields of Knowledge all around us.
Fields, Regularities and Consciousness
Mass is a regularity for the living Stars, that exist in plasma form and provide energy and a Gravitational Field for their Planets and Moons. Even when Stars die, their mass remains a feature that influences the Galaxy. On Planets and Moons, temperatures and pressures allow matter to exist in solid, liquid and gaseous states. On the Earth, we have a beautiful layering of matter from the solid core in the centre of the Earth to the exosphere at the top of the atmosphere. The Earth receives energy from the Sun via the Day/Night Cycles and the Seasonal Cycles. These cycles and the Lunar Cycles move the salt water in the oceans and bring rain and fresh water to the rivers and streams on the land. The Rock Cycle on the land is driven by the Earth’s internal heat. The Nitrogen, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Cycles in the atmosphere, are driven by the lifeforms in the biosphere. The Sun also generates the winds, pressures and temperatures in the Earth’s atmosphere resulting in the weather with different climatic conditions. Lifeforms occupy different areas of the Earth where they achieve homeostasis and form biomes. Plants and many single cellular creatures utilise the Sun’s energy via photosynthesis and produce their own food. While, animals obtain food and energy by eating plants and animals. This results in the regularity of Food Chains, where plants are the producers and the animals are the consumers. Plants and single celled lifeforms need a few sensors. However, animals need sensors connected to a brain to move around and find food and water to achieve homeostasis. Animals have different brain sizes and different levels of consciousness. Human Beings are unique with large brains and consciousness that processes information about objects. Information about objects is stored as visual information, sound information, and words. Taste and smell are secondary and usually used for food and drink. By having information as pictures, sound and words it can be easily and reliably stored and communicated, resulting in the Fields of Knowledge. The Fields of Knowledge have resulted in the production of machines on the land, in the water and in the air. The city has become a human biome, where food and water is readily available for a number of people. However, it requires the planning of a number of people in a number of Fields. As more people live in cities, we have more machines and more area is needed for growing food and providing clean water for human homeostasis, and this has some effect on the other non-human lifeforms and their biomes. The Fields of Knowledge show us that: 1. Processes tend to follow the Second Law of Thermodynamics, that is, things tend to become more disordered unless energy is put into the system to increase order. 2. H uman Beings can implement order by utilising energy and using machines as energy converters. 3. I nitially, plankton, plants and trees were the main producers. Today, machines utilise electrical, battery and fuel energy in a safe manner to do all manner, of work and even build, monitor, control many of the processes and activities around us, with little human supervision. 4. The Earth, which is the home of Consciousness, is a fragile place and it is essential to protect: 4.1. Human morals and the many lifeforms all around world. 4.2. The Land from excessive pollution. 4.3. The Water from excessive pollution. 4.4. The Air from excessive pollution It is also essential to: 4.5. Use energy and machines wisely and for good purposes. 4.6. To allocate Land and Water areas for growing food and providing clean water and clean air without disturbing the many other lifeforms around us. 5. The investigation and development of Space will have to be carefully planned because other planets and moons have different energy, time (due to different rotational and revolutions) and chemistry occurring on them. 6. H uman Beings need a primary and secondary education to get access to the Fields of Knowledge, where they have to work in order to become Human Stars.
