From the ocean
heeled over in waves
shining sun reflected
Crisp passages of tomorrow
at the edge of hope
darkness tucked away like shirt tails
Vigils of guards with rockets
miles away
work time with rudder airborne
Internal dialogue, observant
captain self-employed
until the wind dies
In the hourglass
in the water
at Ponce De Leon Inlet
Pushing the craft inside
over a sand bar
tide shifts to rise
Encapsulating tensors
with space-time vectors
to see Venus, Europa and Mars.
Here are a few of my Christian poems published here to commemorate the atoning work of the Lord.
Darkness Fell on the Blood of God
Earth erases the living in time
and within atmosphere’s envelope
words spoken race shadows to silence
a planet’s paradigm of abstract construction
whirls kinetically for gravity’s account
summarized in winter as snow compiles
the full or empty universe must journey
an eclipse of the star in blue sky
offered the cross at Calvary.
Being: over the edge of Space-Time ©1993GIBSON
The singularity is a point before time
stretches it infinitely as a line
replicating motion
other lines, other directions, relatively
moving everywhere, fullness of whatness
for that which is, now is
Parenthetically unbracketed a description
is just in time
particulars of Calvary
freedom of the transcendence
to turn outside into the Universe
shapes paralleling the limited event horizon
for that which is now, now is
the four forms of space-time
are motion needed as gravity to be
transcended by the whole fifth
symphonic dimensionality of all-Universe
a presentation of the three
becomes infinite straight-line waveforms of being
perceptible in curved space-time
as mass less quanta particles vibration patterns
the world of substance.
God is Good
Quiet lakes reflect clouds in the sky
the Spirit brings Bible verses
distant pre-dawn lightness
wrinkling the vault of night
repository of constellations in free fall
God is good
the Christ is the way, truth and life
a gift of strong-mynded faith
more real than rattlesnakes posing
like celebrities of space-time
Jesus defeated death
the perfect High Priest of God
resurrected three days from crucifixion
bringing eternal life in heaven to the saved
he smote the power of sin
God is good
rainbows, planets, water based life
some people not perping evil
though a constitution's rights decay
and a tech sedition raves.
Original Sin ©2004
Human life is passing
ever changing from birth to death
fraught with original sin
imperfections miss the mark
an ontological reduction from eternity
God’s perfect nature
is so far and remote
yet so near
He created space and time
not as an emanation
a will omniscient, inclusive of alpha
and omega, potentiality and coordinate references
without intermediaries
absent of absence
The creation arose ex nihilo
analogous to a reality created
within a dream, without superreality transcendent
God is perfect, whole
though His will and substance cannot be inferred
what is known is given by revelation
when and where the Universe is
may be paradigmatized
defined with subjective and logical analysis
only imperfectly as infants ambling about
isolated from God in original sin
planets, stars, clusters of galaxies, space-time and the wave
are interpreted within a phenomenology of mynd, languaged
up to identify clumps of objects, others and experience
divided from the eternal perfection,
confined within finite knowledge, finite form
the pervasive social corruption
conforms the world’s people unto sin, imperfection,
decay and death
Human life is passing
ever changing from birth to death
Jesus Christ, the Son of God is
the only way to God and eternal life.
A Priori Logic Circuits
Of God what is good
channels for Taoist canyons
rivers flowing to the sea
below heavens of harvest moon light
for the liberty of Europa’s ice
superposition of being and nothingness
Of Jesus whom are saved
souls living within a unified field
reason amidst secularist worlds
spirit, faith and the evolution
ideas, concepts subducted like plates
professional career tectonics spelling
maths of motion
Of Spirit being-in-itself transcended
relates to God in His grace
contingent existence surpassed
the elect and non-elect flowing
according to His will.
When Photons Acquire Mass
Ideas that should have more rhyme
copyrights years rollover poets auld lang
signs even after death registration renews
ideas like gravity drumbeats hues
filtered through ceramic antennae
verborate down leafy shadows
m-theoretical sub-dimensions shaken up
into converting lofty matters from energy
before time grinds to a halt
First light big bang unto mystical end
photons gain weight and Universe closed then
red sky to night stars fall out of the sky
discontinued dimensions reshuffled well
impermanence without sound or substance held
Pre-determined physical parameters
grown with an uncertainty principal
God spake flowing reality to being
ordering monadic dimensions to start brightly
thus waves would roll to shores and sand from the sea
Jesus would save those with faith.
After the First Day
This puffed up world shoots itself
too often like a tired soldier
right through the foot
it writhes ethnic group against ethnic
like tectonic plate contact zones
merging into the highest mountains
or subducting moltenously to the lowest depths
infernal realms toward the nickel-iron core
good, beauty, peace, love, truth, hope, faith
thought, ideas, are Darwin's incidental refuse
that do not excrete, evolve, flow, compile
like fighting iguanas or rock slides
trees fall in silent forests
without ears to transform sound waves
into noise/ideas
Evolution is the idea valuing non-ideas
a non-sentient progenitor of mass change
for-itself
nature's ossified and serial praxis
progress to fossils and non-values of the
in-itself
Anti-gravity from an other verse punched out
the Big Bang expansion from a unified field
infinity of singular space time
relativity of mass-time unto itself
from the source mode
to disparate space-time cosmos reassembling
galaxies in nuclear, electroweak, strong
gravitational bonding
together as sum sun one infinitely to itself
or perhaps a cold, dark scattering of ashes
across forever expanding space-time
beyond us, time is before us all
within infinite yet bounded motions as creations
Relativity curves everything transitioning
time, velocity, mass
personal world-lines through life
experiencing individual, phenomenal
concatenations of forces
seeming to mind as existence;
Darwin's evolution/motion/change paradigm
notwithstanding
God said Let there be light, and there was light
and the darkness comprehended it not...
it was the end of the first day.
Assembly for the Spirit ©2000GIBSON
Free spirit is
an essence of the wind
time is a shadow’s net
through which the soul passes
Striking new chords
a pointillist harmony in motion
an essence of the wind
isn’t spirit free?
For God so loved the world
is one’s spirit ever free?
Jesus is His only begotten Son
matter is matter just to be
The Spirit is the comforter
a divine peace, love
to in-dwell the soul
as frequencies assembled seem.
A Greeting for Janus’ Composure
Life is a long and interesting experience
which may sometimes be an arduous phenomenon
challenging the soul to trial through action or inaction
Solomon saying all is vanity
also remarked of life’s brevity
-all that one has is time
that passes on in instants
and is itself an instant
Are you sure of whom you want to see
or what you want to do?
Have you heard the gentle call of God
within and without ?
experienced the eagle climbing high
upon rising winds aloft
in flight this very hour
as the Earth moves in its 7 billion year old race
with time about the brilliant star
hanging by the most slender thread of gravity
on the Milky Way’s edge, deep in the center of nowhere
everywhere
Don’t you hear the call of liberty whispering
her sweet song? For you she grows the trees
the grass in the fields and flowers in the meadows
and asks you to journey outside and beyond
in this season of a thousand reasons
the planets have been sewn
for the harvest of the age of opportunity.

From the Sphere at the Edge of a Dream ©1993GIBSON
For this sphere’s lost soul’s Jesus walked
then into Jerusalem
time talks like irreversible physics
to this being Jesus was
into the being-for-others of social reality
Deliverer to the In-itself
Redeemer unto eternal life
that cosmos of one/none before the event horizon
three-in-one and every mortal’s dreams
to this being Jesus was
into the being-for-others of social organization
deliverer to the In-itself
For the people of this sphere Jesus talked
then to Jerusalem and crucifixion
overcoming the demons of hell to rise
on the third day
The Creator for many is a faith
transcending the temporal ekstasis
thermodynamics of past, present, future
with mercy, wisdom, salvation and eternity.
In the World ©1992GIBSON
For what sound can the mortal listen
beyond the footsteps of a dream
within their twilight world the system
seeks not the light nor the living stream
Jesus is the way and the truth
for alpha and omega begins and ends in one space
perhaps to journey to another people
or resurrect other lives
These forces of the world in political clashes
totalizers, communes, socialized fascists
evolve through decades as new spring plants
like a Bodhisattva political action committee
in the world yet not of it...
the Christian must live on faith
for what sound can the mortal listen
beyond the footsteps of a dream
within their twilight world the system
will not seek the light nor the living stream
When the temple is rebuilt
in the new Jerusalem and Earth
the saved will worship the Spirit
they were in the world and yet not of it.
The exorbitant 461 million dollar bond required by a New York judge for Donald Trump for trump to pay in order not to lose a civil case charging him with fraud is a learning moment for the general public on the problem so many New Yorkers that are poor have had in being arrested and staying there for months because they couldn't make bail. The history of wealth based in New York is a sad one of thousands staying in jail just for being poor and unable to make bail. New York Democrat eyeballing Mr. Trumps Republican wealth set a bail so high that they can nearly win the case by forfeit- a clever tactic to take down the assets of a political rival they hate.
Ihttps://legalaidnyc.org/get-help/bail-incarceration/what-you-need-to-know-about-bail/
t is improbable that Donald Trump could hide all of his wealth from New York if he eventually does lose the case and subsequent appeals though he has declared bankruptcy several times. People actually take 100 million seriously, much less a half billion.The experience may enlighten voters enough to become aware that reform should occur to prevent wealth based justice from keeping citizens in jail or losing their financial resources.

Using drones to excavate cave dwellings before Post-Modern EarthTroglodytes arrive upon Mars may be one of the more safe and economic approaches to constructing dwellings for explorers. It might in fact be an upgrade over the probable future government-corporate modus operandi toward erecting clusters of disposable and relocatable extraterrestrial shelters that could be unsafe at any speed. Rock drill drones and drones planting explosive charge to blast into well selected martian hillsides could be the first of a two-stage process to manufacture cave dwellings. The second phase would have rock drills make holes for expansion bolts along the perimeter entrance for front wall panels to attach to. The panels would need to be designed to have flexible membranes on surfaces attached to the cave to seal against air leaks.
Mining technology is quite mature. Adapting it to Martian conditions will require innovation and invention. Shaped explosive and cratering charges placed by drone operators to reduce the use of heavy equipment will be necessary. Development of safely spaced mines after the initial housing is built to create space for industrial, scientific and recreational opportunities could follow the rise of Martian mining technology. A post-modern cave district might provide several alternative shelters in case one’s air seal fails catastrophically. Alternative shelters within easy waking or drone deliver distance would create a better survival footing.
Plainly there are innumerable ways to place surveillance and inspection cameras on mars able to provide drone operators on earth with near real-time information for control. That would work as well for drones picking up and delivering cargo from pilotless spacecraft delivering building supplies from Earth and the Moon base.
Water might be the most difficult delta v challenge for humans living on Mars to satisfy. A human needs about five gallons a water a week for drinking, and water weighs perhaps 7 pounds per gallon. It would require a two-hundred ten to 250 gallons of water per troglodyte each month of martian residency, and more than 2400 lbs for a year adding up to quite a lot of material to fly from Earth. Instead the water should be harvested from existing deposits on Mars.
Harvesting Martian water from ice deposits should be technically too challenging for drones. After the water is sampled for purity it would need to be transported by drone vehicles to the cave dwellings. Using sunlight for solar voltaic power, and with solar panels decreasing in cost almost on a semi-annual basis electrolysis could separate some of the water made from ice into constituent parts. Bringing oxygen from Earth is rather impractical too so producing it in the cave dweller’s neighborhood would be the better choice.
Before the first long-term martian settlements are established experimenting with cave-home construction and building electric drone vehicles able to charge from power lines or power stations for transport need be started. Though a small nuclear plant may work on Mars to generate power, electric vehicles and recharging stations or even in-line electricity for direct power for vehicles should go ahead too.
The lack of delivery of adequate food for Palestinian refugees within the Gaza is notable and a paradox since there has been so much international outcry about it. Could it be that bureaucrats decide to deliver food supplies that are less than efficient in comparison to other foodstuffs? Unfamiliarity with effective real world innovative delivery modes may be as harmful as terrorists willing to starve their own people for political capital.
There is quite a difference between foot that is cheap and full of carbohydrates and well balanced meals. It is easier to deliver large quantities of junk food and low weight food however, and fast and light food may work well enough to keep people from starving to death over a couple of months. One might not want to make a long-term diet of cold corn tortillas, potted meat product or Vienna sausages, dehydrated beans, crackers and moon pies yet they can keep one alive for quite a while longer than absolute starvation
Well balanced meals are costly, heavy and often packaged inefficiently. The U.S.A. for instance has sent M.R.E.s that are bulky, large and costly. Even opening them creates a lot of junk strewn about. In the space of a pallet with 500 M.R.E.s one might place several thousand of the lighter items to relieve hunger. Sure sending millions of little packages of chewable multi-vitamins is a good idea yet is that even on the radar screen of refugee relief planners?
Water is probably the most necessary item for survival in a hot environment. Water bags and desalinization plants may be the way to accomplish that. Certain naval vessels do have desalinization equipment on board and pipes can be laid from those to a safe distance for masses with potential terrorists among them to draw water.
Obviously cooked meals from field kitchens is preferable to dry, air dropped supplies perhaps accomplished with flocks of flying drones and large aircraft. Yet field kitchens to prepare beans and rice with bread can be dangerous for relief workers when adults around them need to conduct the business of war to slaughter one another, take or rescue hostages and so forth.
I suppose one might make a substantial homeless shelter for refugees from old automobiles and trucks brought together as if they were in a drive-in theater. Solar power electric fans might help with fans for cooling. It would be better to have a regular building, yet in an area of war mobile homeless shelters could be a more efficient plan.
Post modernism generated many ideas about ideas, language, certainty and even physics. Many of those ideas were incorrect or based upon premises that were incomplete. Those ideas influenced academics and policy makers. Derrida’s ideas about language, certainty and the relationship of social organizations to language heavily influenced American educators and the American left and continue to do so. Communism influenced the world, as it was presented roughly by Karl Marx and it too was usually misunderstood.
Perhaps there are three basic threads that went into forming post-modern concepts regarding skepticism and the inability ti have certainty concerning objective events and even reality. One is the rise of linguistic philosophy and developments in the philosophy of language, and the other is quantum mechanics, the Schrodinger wave-function/collapse and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The final thread is that of epistemology- the theory of knowledge, Philosophers like W.V.O. Quine and P.F. Strawson combined the fields of epistemology, logic and language within their work. Sartre observed the organizing principle and forms of society subjectively in Being and Nothingness and The Critique of Dialectical Reason- taking the structures at face value without historical analysis. Derrida followed these philosophers in time and formulated an excellent abstract of the way language forms in society. Ludwig Wittgenstein’s work on explaining on how language meanings arise preceded that of Derrida by nearly a half century (i.e. The Blue and Brown Books). Derrida seemed to make some of the same mistakes as Aristotle in over-estimating the reliability of words, additionally over-estimating their strength in forming social structures.
Karl Marx was the greatest historical social analyst writer of his time. Witnessing poverty and the oppression of concentrated wealth with royalty first hand he sought a political remedy for it. Rather than to advocate a tax increase on the wealthy he sought complete revolution to end social inequality. With the England of his time being something like post-communist revolution Shanghai in the pathos of civilian deaths among the poor, and having fathered several children, his desire to improve social conditions for the poor was personal as well as compassionate. In some respects his ideas were ahead of their time as well as partly incorrect. Marx’s work prescriptively were his best theories for how to reform society to a more just extent. Plainly he made numerous errors in that regard.
One of Marx’s famous and misunderstood expressions that might be used to highlight the uncertainty of language is; “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs”. That could be a remark from classical economics concerning the ‘allocation of resources’ to attain maximum economic productivity. Each individual would produce according to his ability, perhaps with social support in education and training ‘to be the best that he or she can be’, and venture capital would provide funds to inventors and developers according to his or her needs. In Marx’s England perhaps the ordinary citizen that desired to be an entrepreneur or to develop an invention could not find the capital to do so. Marx’s expression has been interpreted in other ways to mean quite different things. That is an example of the incompleteness of language for defining meanings for objects and relationships. That occurs words are different from the objects and relationships they describe. Words have practical communication value that arise from use and application rather than from the things-in-themselves. The entity that produces red fruit of a certain shape that is, does not also grow its name ‘apple’ upon its branches as it would need to if there were a direct relationship between word/name and object.
Derrida assumed that numerous mass social issues of his time; such as decolonization, racism, nationalism and wars originated because of cohesive language structures inherent in mass organizations, social structures and classes. Deconstructing social iniquity could be achieved achieved through language. Deconstruction as a tool for Biblical criticism was especially popular because of the rise of Darwinian evolution theory and the changes that drove through popularization of scientific thought in the field of education and popular concepts of genesis cosmology. Marxist were especially anti-theistic and atheist; the left became militant for social evolution/revolutions based on a wave of post-modernist, atheistic ideology that regarded itself as post-ideological after the end of the Cold War (that Joe Biden has renewed perhaps because of memory-cognitive issues and a preference that the first cold war never really ended).
Derrida was understandably accused by sone of being an anarchist for trying to dissolve existing social institutions and establishments through the deconstruction of language in order to create something better without having a clear idea of wat that was. Yet Derrida simply extrapolated too far from the basis of his rather sound language structure ideas to the reason why social organizations arise to start with and to the role they play in societies.
Adam in the garden named objects brought before him; his words didn’t create the objects. Derrida’s followers believed that by changing the words and deconstructing the languages and history they would change the objects. Derrida’s over-belief in the power of language and in the uncertainty and malleability of its meanings were developed in post-world War II Europe where a chaos of languages, manifest destruction of social order and problems of nationalism and colonialism were evident first hand. Within the post-war cauldron of a Babel of languages that Nimrod would have had difficulty making sense of so far as social organization goes, a new way for the left to view social reality developed. It was in effect a popular epistemological system based in misunderstanding the philosophy of language, quantum physics and history.
The German physicist Werner Heisenberg found that one could find the position of a quantum particle like the photon or its speed yet not both. Quanta exist in a wave theoretically at all possible positions traveling at a certain speed. When one collapse the wave in making a measurement at a particular point that does determine the position of a quanta though not the speed since it should be a wave in motion. That was the Uncertainty principle and eventually in the popular conception that developed a meaning that reality could not be understood or knowledge trustworthy. Coupled with Derrida’s deconstruction of language for reliability and certainty, the left had powerful tools for skepticism, truth and logic.
Simultaneous criticisms of Descartes' dualist spirit-matter epistemology in preference for the materialism and atheism of Karl Marx and Feurbach coupled with Biblical criticism that regard the Word of God scripture as literature could be credited without a preponderance of error as the main rationale for the present social state of affairs of the left. Deconstruction elevated somewhat superficial philosophers like Frederick Nietzsche while the public were generally not reading analytic philosophers and the subtle epistemology of Quine’s Word and Object’ or P.F. Strawson’s ‘Individuals’.
Human social organizations like those of penguins and the wild kingdom generally evolve with adaptations to the environment. If humans were without language capacity they would still organize in some way. Human organization evolved to address common biological and existential challenges. What is lacking is reform and adaptability in social organization.
The 20th century had innumerable interesting queries into the foundations of knowledge and language. Chomsky and Everett developed different viewpoints on the question of grammar being innate in the human brain or learned (or both?). Perhaps it was Nam Chomsky’s career as a linguist who regarded language phenomenally that made his political criticisms so appealing to the left since deconstruction of establishment politics was an important method of the era. I use the left within this essay in distinction to the right that generally is economically and socially more conservative (or was in the era) and doesn’t seek to deconstruct anything. That fact has been in conflict in some times to general improvements and upgrades to select doctrines when new information becomes available or is developed through further research and insights. Biblical hermeneutics is one such field; there is no reason at all to think tat God is not capable of using quantum mechanics paradigms although none are mentioned in the Bible explicitly (as if people of the 2nd millennium B.C. would have understood such references)
Language has accreted lexicons and word groupings with meaning values understood by users. Languages arose m when human cultures were rather isolated from other cultures. To speak one language shares meanings throughout a culture without much confusion or ambiguity about meanings. The meanings are those used by convention and historical inclusion. Over time words tend to lose their root, original values; they are comparable to algebraic variables that evolve different values over the course of the programs written by history and change.
A culture of many languages greatly multiplies the uncertainty of the meaning of words. Derrida’s post-war Europe and the aftermath of defeating the German National Socialist Worker’s Party-aka the NAZI party was one fraught with uncertainty of an historical and linguistic character.
Language, like algebraic formulas can have meaning and refer to real objects, although philosophers are aware of the phenomenal nature these days of what and how objects are presented within the quantum fields that supports the existence of a Universe. Valid language use is pragmatic and meanings as fine tuned for accuracy as possible and practical. In using the word apple for instance, one needn’t describe every possible configuration or appearance and circumstance of any apple that has ever, or will ever exist. It does not negate the value of language in communication to abbreviate that constellation of possible value to the one present and necessary. This is common sense and the value of intelligence. Humans exist in a bottomless, unbounded experience yet they wish to share communication about it with others though uncertainty is an aspect of the unknown. Though uncertainty abounds in temporal exstasis of past, present and future human experience existentially is certain on the pragmatic scale.
God’s word, in the beginning generated waveforms shaping quantum fields that formed reality; human words do not shape reality from nothing. Though human words can reflect intentions to reshape mass and energy, human language did not create the human race itself. Humans may shape existing matter and energy and form new organizations yet human language is a way of expressing ideas and will comparable to algebraic formula. God’s word is omni-powerful in this Universe; human language isn’t.
As greening leaves
