THE LEONARDO TYPE
2THE LEONARDO TYPE
3 Before the pictorially graphic record of the presence of humanity aboard our planet began there was no way for men to record their individual feelings and thoughts except as manifest in their tool inventing. Words are tools but their sounds could not be made to last, under early history’s conditions. Individually identifiable humans had no line of communication reaching directly to us today, other than the evidence of humanity’s massive group work in carving, moving, shaping, and building with stones plus the non-identifiable individual’s profuse handicrafting of small artifacts such as vessels, arrowheads, beads, etc.
4 But from the beginning of the pictorially recorded history, on walls, vases, jewelry, et al., we gain more and more information regarding general human experiences, capabilities, thoughts, and motivation. For instance it is evidenced that throughout all earlier times until yesterday the ruling social powers assumed the human masses to be universally ignorant and accredited them with having only muscle and dexterity value. The illiteracy of the masses was mistakenly interpreted as meaning that the commoner was inherently lacking in intellect---just a ‘‘poor wretch.’’
5 As ‘‘the exception that proved the rule,’’ once in a rare while, by command of some god, a commoner apparently was endowed with creative powers and insights. The ease with which the erroneous assumption could be made that the masses are stupid is manifest when we realize how easily a human of today conditioned to speak only americanese could deceive himself into mistaking for an ‘‘inherently illiterate Mongol’’ some ill-clothed, war-bruised, Chinese communist, Ph.D. physicist who had not learned to speak americanese.
6 During only the last few decades of the two million years within which humans now are known to have been living aboard our planet Earth have the behavioral clues been multiplying sufficiently to suggest that all humans, including the ‘‘spastics’’ et al., are bornwith a far more comprehensive and superb inventory of subjectively apprehending and synergetically comprehending faculties---as well as objectively articulating capabilities---than has as yet been formally acknowledged to be the case by the present educational establishments’ capability-accrediting boards---much less by the politico-social pressure groups such as veterans’ organizations or the parentteacher associations. We may soon discover that all babies are bom geniuses and only become de-geniused by the erosive effects of unthinkingly maintained false assumptions of the grownups regarding their conventional ways of ‘‘bringing up’’ and ‘‘educating’’ their young.
7 It is possible to identify some of the known faculties which we generally assume to be coordinate in those whom society does concede to be adult geniuses. The publicly accredited characteristics of genius consist for instance of an actively selfattended intuition opening the conceptual doors for innate, frequently and combiningly employed, scientific, artistic, philosophical, idealistic, sensorially conceptive, physically talented, logical, farsighted, imaginative, and practical articulations.
8 Leonardo da Vinci, who fortunately avoided the geniuseroding processes, manifested and coordinatingly employed all and more of such conceptual faculties and articulative capabilities. In the graphically recorded history of the last eight millenniums, as well as in the dim twilight of pre-Indo Chinese, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, South and Central American graphic documentations of history, individuals appeared from time to time who grew to maturity without losing the full inventory of their innate, intuitive, and spontaneously coordinate faculties and therewith inaugurated new eras of physical environmental transformation so important as in due course to affect the lives of all ensuing humanity. We will go on to speak of such comprehensively effective but largely unidentified articulators as the Leonardo type individuals.
9 Since the dawning of the most meagerly revealed human history there have been ten importantly distinct periods of historical transformations of both the physical and cosmological environments of society. In each of these the environment-reorganizing Leonardo types manifestly have played the leading roles. There are two discernible periods of history as yet to come. We will deal with all twelve.
10 To each of us environment means: Everything that is not me. Environment is subdivisible into two parts, physical and metaphysical. The metaphysical environment consists of human thoughts, generalized principles, and customs. The Leonardo types seem to have avoided attempting to reform the metaphysical environment. They are documented only by their employment of the metaphysically generalized principles to reorganize the physical constituents of the scenery, apparently assuming intuitively that a more man-favoring rearrangement of the environment would be conducive to humanity’s spontaneous self-realization of its higher potentials. Human travelers coming to a river and finding a bridge across it spontaneously use the bridge instead of hazarding themselves in the torrents.
11 Physiology and biology make it clear that at the outset of graphically recorded history a universally illiterate, but also probably not unintelligent, humanity was endowed with innate and spontaneously self-regenerative drives of hunger, thirst, and species regeneration. The a priori, chemical, electromagnetic, atomistic, genetic, and synergetic designing of these innate drives apparently was instituted by a higher wisdom and formulative capability inherent in Universe than that possessed by any known living man. These drives probably were designed into humans to ensure that human life and its mind ---long unacknowledged as highest faculty---ultimately would discover its own significance and would become established and most importantly operative not only aboard planet Earth, but also in respect to the vast, locally evidenced aspects of Universe. If so, mind will come not only to demonstrate supremacy over humanity’s physical muscle but also to render forevermore utterly innocuous and impotent the muscle-augmented weapons and the latter’s ballistic hitting powers. Mind possibly may serve even as the essential, antientropic function of eternally conserving the omni-interaccommodative, nonsimultaneous and only partially overlapping, intertransforma- tive, self-regenerating scenario---which we speak of as Universe.
12 Mind, operative aboard our planet Earth and probably elsewhere in Universe, in a myriad of effective circumstances, can and may perform the paramount function of conserving the scenario ‘‘Universe.’’ If so, it will have to be accomplished by apprehending, comprehending, and teleologically employing the metaphysical, weightless, omni-intercooperative generalized principles of Universe---in strategically effective degree and within a critical time limit. This can be accomplished in progressively more effective degree by Earthians competently ‘‘fielding’’ and those physical energy increments, entropically broadcast by the stars, which happen to impinge kinetically upon our Earth as it orbits the Sun. Employing the appropriate biological and physiological principles, these receipts must be collected, sorted, analyzed, synergetically comprehended, and symmetrically combined into complex but orderly, macro- and micro-cohering aggregates and therewith added into the Earth biosphere’s resource-conserving and -storing inventory. For it seemingly is manifest that the task of metaphysical intellect is to cooperate with evolution as a major antientropic factor in offsetting the physical Universe’s fundamental proclivities of becoming locally ever more dis- synchronous, asymmetric, diffuse, multiplyingly expansive, and disorderly.
13 The kinetic intercomplementarity of finite Universe requires that what disassociates here must associate there. High-pressure atmosphere at one point is balanced by low pressures elsewhere. The stars are all radiantly dissipating energy. The Earth is a celestial center wherein energies from the stars are being collected and buried ever more deeply. When after vast millions of years, enough energy has been impounded aboard our spherical space vehicle Earth---then it will become a radiant star, as the discard of other bumt-out and dissipated stars are concurrently aggregate elsewhere---some trillions of years again to become a star. No factor operative aboard our planet is so effective in aggregating, reorganizing, concentrating, and refining the disorderly resource receipts as is the human mind.
14 Period One
15 We can discern Period One of our twelve-period history in the behavioral traceries we have of the ancient seafaring fishermen-farmers of Japan and coastal China, who seem to have learned through experience of the water-borne or earth- rooted vegetation’s unique ability to impound the Sun’s ra- diationally delivered energy and likewise of the Sim’s ongoing regeneration of more vegetation from the seeds of the vegetation’s fruits and tubers. They also found that though the Sun energy was impounded in the vegetation, very little of the latter could be eaten by humans. Men could not eat the bark, trunk, stalks, and could eat but few of the leaves. They found out, however, that animals, bugs, worms, and other creatures could eat the vegetation and could discriminate, as man could not, as to which were poisonous and which were safe. Man could most safely eat the live killed flesh of the animals. But the meat could only be kept viable in cold climates. In the tropics men learned by watching the animals, which of the vegetables, berries, etc. were non-toxic and safe for cultivation. As hounds were used to track animal food in the cold countries, the domesticated cattle were used as safe vegetation ‘‘hounds’’ and their females were also milkable. Despite any known later historical events impinging on the freely and safely wandering cattle of India this is probably the most important single factor explaining this spontaneous social behavior. Sun energy was thus converted into viably tender fruits, roots, shoots, seeds, and nuts of safe vegetation or into animal milk or flesh growth and thence as food converted into human growth. The human growth was not only in size, but in muscular ability to do further work by investing its available time in rearranging local environmental events and materials to produce ever higher, human-life-extending advantage.
16 The Universe and the immensity of everything that was not self and the locally permitted independence of action determined by man’s will, as altogether manifest in nature, integrated in man’s mind to imply a vast but obviously competent, pattern-formulating, a priori, mysterious greatness to be operative throughout all of nature which humans referred to singularly or plurally with some voice-sounded word---such as God---or some counterpart of that economically vocalized term of vague but spontaneous acknowledgment of the presence in Universe of a knowledge, wisdom, and power greater than that possessed by self or any other known humans.
17 Most prominent in God’s total kingdom and most understandable of God’s major roles was that of God’s functioning in the role of the Sun. As the Sun died each evening and was reborn each morning, death was assumed to be only an invisible state and life was eternally regenerative. The natural water- and land-occurring abundance which the ancestors of the Sino-Japanese had the good fortune to find and the life which it permitted seemed good. That the Japanese national flag should thousands of years later be emblazoned as yet with the Sun is testimony of their enduring and fundamental comprehension of the omni-regenerative scheme of the Universe.
18 These people, from the earliest historically interpretable times, expressed their gratitude to God, who apparently had pre-fashioned the places most suitable for humans to find themselves, all unexpectedly, expressing spontaneous thanksgiving (worship). These places were (and as yet are) unusually beautiful and inspiring places, occurring randomly and unexpectedly around the world, wherein one is surprised to find oneself from time to time. In such ‘‘beauty’’ spots, designated as jung shui by the Chinese, men spontaneously tend to feel mysteriously closer to a wisdom and grandeur of conceiving greater than their own. Such places are unexpectedly intimate to the comprehensively acknowledged mystery identified as God. At the threshold point of such secretly beautiful places the Japanese-Chinese fisherfolk mounted the keel of a ship, spanningly, atop two posts as a doorway or gate (the torii) through which they stepped into their vast invisibly walled cathedral. Their particular ritualistic way of thanking God, which has persisted through the millenniums to this day, is known to us as the Shinto religion. Their people brought fish, fruit, grain crops, and wine, in sacrificial denial to themselves of its nourishment in support of their own immediate personal wants, and in order to identify specifically to God that for which they were thanking him. When their sacrifice was prepared and displayed on some form of raised prominence (altar-alter: high), one by one they stepped forward and clapped their hands twice loudly to gain God’s attention. Then the individual picked a fresh green leaf from a pre-cut tree branch and placed it on the altar. Thus having given thanks the individual clapped his hands twice more to let God know he was through with his message of gratitude---so that God could get back to his great work of operating Universe and within it providing for the regeneration of all life. No mouthed words were spoken and in a universally obvious pre-word language, man said to God that he sensed intuitively the as yet undiscovered photosynthesis to be operative in some mysterious way in the green leaf which was God’s invention for transforming and transmitting the life-supporting energy of Sun to man on Earth. Often men’s intuitions have identified and superstitiously employed and conserved for centuries, even millenniums, crude, hypothetical concepts regarding phenomena which are critical to the sustenance of life, which concepts were formulated before those humans had made scientific discovery of some of the chemical and physiological details of such processes, as, for instance, that of the photosynthesis accomplished by the green leaf’s as yet only vaguely identified chlorophyllic behavior.
19 As has been shown by Sir James Frazer in his book The Golden Bough, the religions of the people around Earth, before the dawn of our eight thousand years of graphically communicated history, seem all to have been founded upon gratitude to God for the mysterious bounty of nature and in profoundly moving awe of the secrets of fertility---which are as yet fundamentally secret, despite man’s having identified such genetic mechanisms as dna and rna, and their amino and enzymic realizations. Thus has much of human society recently come to be novelty-intoxicated and glib with scientific jargon. But much of Western society is now hung over with a specialization-obscured sense of the whole. Humanity has temporarily lost its spontaneous acknowledgment of a wisdom greater than its own ‘‘hepness.’’
20 Because society has physiologically discovered a considerable amount of data, it mistakenly assumes that it is only a matter of a few days, months, or years before all humanity will know what ‘‘it is all about.’’ World youth, however, is beginning to intuit that this may not be true---either now or forevermore---for fundamental reasons inherent in the experience manifest, synergetically catalyzed, intuition of the a priori existence of an integrity and competence which probably is forever decomposing and recomposing the scenario ‘‘Universe.’’
21 To those in ancient times who found their prime sustenance in the sea, God was a sea creature, ergo, being God, and logically a magnificently awesome creature, he was imagined to be a colossal sea serpent whose vertically waving back could be seen moving along, and all the way around, the ocean’s faraway watery horizon. Later, as men found that they could employ wind to propel their rafts, by mounting spars and sails, God was imagined to be a dragon or the same sea serpent with wings.
22 Those who found life support exclusively through the godgiven abundance on the dry land were of two prime categories: the hunters in the North, where the flesh food could be preserved by ice, and the agrarians of the South, where the fruits, nuts, and tender-leaved grains of rice, oats, wheat, and com were in abundance and could be dried and stored indefinitely to be later ground, dehydrated, and baked back into viability.
23 The agrarians imagined their god to be female---to be the fertility goddess---because the new seed always came out of the womb of the old seed’s fruit. The hunters and animal milkers tended to imagine their god to be a male, typified by the four-legged king bull of the animal herds roaming on the land. These early people must intuitively have sensed that the pre- procreative battles of the bulls guaranteed the genetic inclusion of the physically strongest strains. The bull identity of the male fertility god as yet inspires the life drives of some of the dwellers along the Arctic coasts. There the whales come annually and their meat, bones, and oil supply the energies necessary for humans to survive in the icy barrenness of the North. Thus the Point Barrow Eskimos of today still think realistically of the bull-whale as being their Big Brother who returns annually to their Arctic waters to ask the Eskimos to kill him expertly and beautifully so that he may be released to return again next year in the familiar and useful form of another bull-whale, again to fertilize the school of female whales.
24 The people of pre-written history who found ready sustenance and did survive found no need for a walled-in, roofed, and thus deliberately isolated, environment for worship; the whole, visible Universe was their ‘‘house of god.’’ They saw the living creatures and plants wither only to be replaced by more fresh life and this amplified, their concepts of life as a scheme of eternal self-reproduction. Life was absolute and continuous and, as with the snakes’ successive skins and the crabs’ shells, only the fleshy vehicles which life employed in its successive manifestations were temporary and expendable. God was the continuous Universe.
25 We have, however, only the carefully perpetuated religious and superstitious customs of those who were successful in those times to inform us of all the foregoing. Almost no records are left to tell us of the philosophy of those multitudes who did not find life successful and perished at an early age. We have only the subconscious, genes-triggered instincts--- underlying the spontaneous adaptations to prevailing conditions, plus the spontaneously retaught mores which conditioned postnatal attitudes of the successful tribal survivors, as handed on meticulously by word of mouth and pantomimic dance, from generation to generation---to guide our exploratory thoughts into the graphically undocumented past
26 Filmer S. C. Northrop of Yale writes in his book The Meeting of East and West of the effects of the eighteenth-century impingement of the cosmological, highly formalized, ‘‘Christian’’ dogma of (European) Spanish invaders upon the people of Mexico, at the midpoint of the North and South (American) continents, to which vast numbers of humans already had come, from Asia across the Pacific and from the Pacific islands, during untold numbers of earlier millenniums. These Pacific basin people whom the Spanish invaders found in Mexico showed a crossbred physiognomy embracing every physical feature and skin color known anywhere around the Earth. They were so crossbred that they could no longer be spontaneously differentiated into separate ‘‘color’’ races. This crossbreeding is most advanced in both Mexico and India today, but now embraces all the European features as well. Every variety of angular pattern variation in physiognomy is found in both countries in every skin color and every shade from intensely dark to intensely light. Hair ranges through every known variety between straight to tight curly, in every hue from black to platinum blond, and all varieties of hair adorn all varieties of skin color in all degrees of shading from dark to tight, which in turn adorn all varieties of facial features and head shapes, wherefore few Mexican individuals can be identified as being of any hybrid race. They are simply worldians.
27 When the Spanish Europeans brought their official religion of Christianity in its most arbitrarily dogmatic form of the Father, Son, Virgin Mary, and the saints to Mexico’s worldians, the latter seemingly accepted that latinized Catholicism but went on in swift course, impelled by the momentum of their earlier conditioned reflexes to worship only the Virgin Mary, who was obviously not the same lady as that honored by the pope but was indeed their age-old fertility goddess with a new name---Guadalupe.
28 In a concept approximately identical to the Eskimos’ whale conception the earliest known religious lore of the Asian and Asia Minor hunters held that God was a male who reappeared in generation after generation---to eternity---in the form of the king bull and required of the hunter that he, God in the bull, be most skillfully and honorably slain so that God could be released in order that he might reinvest himself anew and reinvigoratingly in the next generation to produce the sustaining bounty of human food. In the same way the bull-god culture of the pre-history hunters came westward by ship through the traditions of the Asia Minor Phoenicians and was transposed to the Cretan Minoans (named for the Minotaur ---which was the bull, their god). From Crete, the bull culture again went even farther westward by ship to Spain. Gradually, the ritualistic bull slaying was modified into the splendor of the bullfight. But today the toreador is more esteemed than the bull, for no longer does Spanish society think in the hunters’ experience-generated terms which identified God in the bull.
29 This bull-slaying rationale was fortified in earliest time by the fact that the oft repeated cutting back, or pruning of the life vehicle, frequently improved the growth. The concept of the prince hidden in a frog or larger beast to be released only by its being killed by the perceptively pure princess is a typical fanciful by-product of the earlier Pantheism (Pan-Z/ze-ism). The linguistic tool known as an article ‘‘the,’’ meaning God, is also the root content of the Greek letter theta, omnipresent God. The male and female prefixes of the Latin world occurred because of the admixture of male-female god concepts halfway between the all-male god bull-whales of the animal-hunting North and the all-female goddess of the agrarian South lands. Pan means everywhere, as in pan-o-ramic. Pan- the-istic means God is always present in every phenomenon.
30 In all the pantheistic cosmologies coming over the threshold of pre-history, God, being everything, was also in man as one of God’s myriad variety of manifestations. Those who died were not looked upon as gone but simply as invisible, transmigrated, or transformed.
31 The most prodigiously permanent record of the cosmology of those pantheistically rationalizing people exists today in the mistakenly named ‘‘temples’’ (wats, ghats) of Southeast Asia. For instance, the most recent centuries’ wats of Angkor in Cambodia are apparently replicas of earlier edifices. The wats and ghats are schematically conceived cosmological models of humanity’s most thoughtful representation of the structure of our world as informed by travelers’ tales of the total sensorial perception. These cosmological symbol edifices apparently were designed under the following circumstances and observations.
32 Speaking omni-historically, humanity within any one average life span has seen less than one millionth of the total surface of our spherical spaceship Earth. This holds true from the earliest known humans until the mid-twentieth century. Throughout the vast ages of recorded history, man’s locomotion being limited to his, or his animal’s, leg-coverable distances on land and by boats at sea, man thought it to be obvious that the world was geometrically a horizontal slab with various aberrations of mountains and valleys superimposed. Thus humans have been spontaneous victims of the illusion that their world is an infinitely vast, watery plane, surmounted centrally by an immense island of dry land. To understand further the cosmological design of these early Southeast Asian edifices, we must recall that artifacts of the seafarers make it clear, today, that ancient man had discovered the North Star as the axis of the easterly rising out of the sea of the Sun and stars, and their westerly splashdown disappearance into the water. Ancient sea people tended to think spontaneously of their world in terms of north, south, east, and west quadrants. Thus came about our as yet prevalent, deep-rooted, cultural reflex expression ‘‘The four comers of the Earth.’’ The Khmer civilization’s Angkor Wat or Angkor Thom are physical models of that concept of the world. They are vast, square-based, dry-land models completely surrounded by watery lakes or moats. To ensure that the concept of water completely surrounding the land was lastingly incorporated in their cosmological models, when no water was at hand or when the waters evaporated, the architects edged their great square models of the world with a serpentine rail with separate heads at both ends occurring at the entrance of the model. This serpent was ‘‘Naga,’’ their sea serpent God of the Sea.
33 ‘‘Everyone who has traveled at all,’’ the ancient pantheists
34 must have said, ‘‘knows that as one goes inland from the sea ---everywhere surrounding the four-cornered world---that one comes to ever higher mountains.’’ This implied that if one went far enough inland one would come to a mountain reaching to heaven and therefore occupied at its highest point by God, with lesser gods at lower altitudes. Their living God- Kung was a member of one of those lower-altitude gods who was residing temporarily at the even lower Earth level where common mortals dwelt. So the pantheists’ cosmological model of a ‘‘wide-wide,’’ four-cornered world surrounded by the sea is a great edifice consisting of a concentric system of imitation mountains with each more central mountain pinnacle reaching higher toward heaven. Their first such models were constructed of wood which could adequately accommodate their king during his return to a higher position among the gods. But it often happened that one new God-King replaced another within such short intervals that they began to use the same model for successive kings and gradually replaced the wooden parts with stone parts to make them more durable. But the mistake should not be made of thinking of these edifices as having anything to do with ordinary people. They were not houses of worship in any sense.
35 These cosmological models of a wide-wide, four-cornered planar Earth surrounded by infinitely extensive waters and surmounted by ever higher central ‘‘mountain’’ pinnacles disclose how the early humans explained the sum of their experiences to themselves regarding the structure and operating scheme of their real world, from out of whose eastern watery extremity the Sim and stars rose, passed over, descended, plunged in and through again. Because the Sun and stars quite obviously passed over, and returned under it, the world was implied to be a thick but penetrable watery slab extending horizontally to infinity in all planar directions. All the perpendiculars to that slab’s base plane were mathematically demonstrable as parallel to one another. Those perpendiculars then were extended in only two directions in relation to man’s erroneously conceived flat Earth. Those two exactly opposite, positive and negative, exclusively perpendicular directions in respect to the horizontal Earth plane were the seemingly obvious concepts up and down.
36 But we now know that we do not live on a flat slab and that we do live on board an eight-thousand-mile-diameter spherical spaceship speeding around the Sun at 60,000 m.p.h., spinning axially as it orbits. None of the perpendiculars to a sphere are parallel to one another. The first aviators flying completely around the Earth within its atmospheric mantle, and cohered to the planet by gravity, having completed half their circuit, did not feel up side down. They had to employ other words correctly to explain their experiences. So aviators evolved the terms ‘‘coming-zn’’ for a landing and ‘‘going-ozzt’’ not down and up! Those are the proper directional words in and out. We can go only in, out, and around. Anyone spontaneously seeking to prove his ‘‘practical’’ sense who says ‘‘never mind that theoretical stuff---LET’S GET DOWN TO EARTH!’’---probably banging the table with his fist as he says it, is disclosed as being insane. We must reply to him, '‘Where and what is that ‘down to Earth’ phenomenon?’’
37 All those misconceptions of the long-ago Southeast Asians’ cosmological models we find to be deep-rooted in our own twentieth-century self-misinformed ‘‘commonsense.’’ Commonsense was assumed by society to be the antithesis of lunacy. It as yet is. But now we know that the lunacy conforms strictly to the cosmological reality and that the ‘‘down to Earth’’ commonsense of yesterday is fundamentally misinformed. Here we discover the basis for the intuitive discrediting of the older generation by world youth who are directly informed by the astronauts as to the nature of celestial reality.
38 Thus, our exploration of the Southeast Asian edifices of the millenniums-ago Nagas has begun to clarify our present era’s great metaphysical revolution. The great edifices of the Central American Mayas and Incas were also the same foursquare, cosmological models and were likewise constructed not to be occupied but either to be surmounted or underpassed by man. Thus also did it come about that the earliest Babylonian and subsequent Egyptian pyramids were also square-based and highly formalized, ‘‘single’’ mountain edifices.
39 No one knows of any specific, individual personalities who discovered and inaugurated the acknowledgment of a greater authority than that of man in the first invisible, abstract God, who designed and built hallowed spaces for thanksgiving, nor does anyone know of any specific individuals who designed those cosmological wats of Southeast Asia, but their inspiration and economic authority was clearly that of a popularly spontaneous acknowledgment of a mandate from the gods to identify the conceptual scheme of the interrelationship of the gods to the world they had created or that had been created possibly by an ever higher god, all of which creative scheme had structural and operative logic consistent with the experience-won information of contemporary humanity. The design authority was probably that of priest-navigators, for the wats are found either near the sea or near to canals or rivers leading to the sea, and the conformation of their structuring, which was at first of wood, employs principles inherited from boatbuilding arts. We find the descendants of the navigatorastronomer-priests of those earlier times reaching weakly even into our times in the Polynesian chieftains’ separation of the habitats of the navigators from the tribe, also in the as yet superstitiously heeded astrology. We also have clues of that world around priest-navigators’ cosmological authority in the more recent of past centuries’ astronomical ‘‘observatory’’ structures as yet standing in India, Mesopotamia, Crete, Egypt, England, and Central America.
40 In the early dawning of graphically chronicled civilization the wats involve gods of the sea and gods of the sky, as well as gods of the underground land. The fire, smoke, and lava of volcanoes, well known to men, indicated that down led through the horizontal plane of the world into a hell of brimstone and fire, just as up led everywhere exclusively toward the serene blue heaven of the highest god.
41 Most importantly to our comprehensive cosmological survey of all history we must remind ourselves repeatedly that these cosmological symbol edifices had no direct personal relationship to humans. They were constructed only for the convenience of the livingly visible God-King’s reascension from Earth to become once more an invisible god of heaven, capable of returning at any future time to resume human or any other convenient form. Thus millenniums later, when Buddha became divinely inspirational to man, one generation of priests after another installed statues of Buddha in niches in the old ‘‘mountains’’ of the wats and ghats. But the wats, ghats, et al., as originally constructed, symbolized nothing for the humans other than the existence of gods who according to the priests could be humored by sacrifices to bring about more favorable conditions for the momentarily living God-King. Humans were absolutely expendable, either as slaves or as sacrifices. Thus we close Period One of our twelve-period world history which was constructed only inferentially by extending backward the first historically disclosed data. We can surmise that the economic authority patron of the Leonardo type designers of Period One was that of the gods or God- King.
42 Period Two
43 Period Two of our overall twelve-period history---ten past and two to come---begins with the first graphically pictured history of world society as recorded in the stone carvings of Egypt, Mesopotamia. At this time humanity at large knew nothing of physics, chemistry, or biology. Humans recognized but few safe edibles. Humans had witnessed many lethal poisonings by superficially attractive items plucked from the mysterious scenery. Infection was rampant. Average survival was in the neighborhood of twenty-two years or about one fourth of the once-in-a-rare-while demonstrated, biblically mentioned ‘‘three score and ten’’ years’ life span. Life was so fundamentally awful that no logic could persuade humanity to believe that the living experience was intended by the maker of Universe to be directly worthwhile and desirable in its own right. The only tenable assumption was that life on Earth was suffered only in preparation for a life hereafter. It was reasoned that the worse that life on Earth proved to be, the better would be life hereafter. Experience seemed to show that adequate sustenance in general was so fundamentally scarce that even in the hereafter there could be enough only for one.
44 Thus it came about in Period Two of our twelve-period history that the economic authority patronage which employed and subsidized the efforts of the Leonardo type---intuitive artist-scientist, poet, inventor, engineer, and initiator of the early Egyptian eras---was exclusively the life hereafter of the Pharaoh.
45 The economic license to employ whatever capabilities he could visualize as existing in the non-obvious but intellectually conceptual resources hidden in the scenery went to the Leonardo type to support his reorganization of environmental potentials for the advantage of the life hereafter of the Pharaoh and of his most faithful servants.
46 As with all building there is a scaffolding activity---a ‘‘make ready.’’ The Leonardo type existing in the times of the earliest Pharaohs conceived of the principle of levers and of the ability to move great rocks. He recognized that he could vastly augment the muscles of whole armies of slaves. He conceived that these slaves must be fed in order to put out energy. The Leonardo type conceived of the fact that the waters of the Nile could be allowed to flow into man-produced irrigation ditches to be dug by slaves which would lead the Nile into the potentially fertile floodlands bordering the river. Thus the Leonardo type rearranged the environment of the living in preferred ways which increased in ever multiplying degree the technological advantage as well as human resources and their combined ability to rearrange the environment to ever higher energy-producing degree.
47 When the Pharaoh died and the Leonardo type was rewarded by being entombed with the Pharaoh along with the other most faithful servants so that they could enjoy the blessings of the ‘‘hereafter,’’ the irrigation ditch did not obliterate itself nor was the principle of the lever forgotten among the as yet living people. These physical scaffolding capabilities of the pre-afterlife living society persisted and multiplied as one Pharaoh after another was advantaged by the successive Leonardo types of scientists, artists, and environment-comprehending rearrangers all combined in one man.
48 Finally the ‘‘scaffolding equipment’’ employed in the predeath days by the living slaves as led by the eras’ Leonardo types, became so prodigious that it became manifest that it obviously would be possible not only to organize to maximum degree the advantages not only of the afterlife of the Pharaoh but also to employ the excess environment-mastering capability to accommodate the afterlife of the nobles as well. Thus developed Period Three of our twelve-period history.
49 Period Three
50 During our historical Period Three the progressively ever more prodigious rearrangement of the living environment technology, as temporary scaffolding for the eternal afterlife, multiplied to such a degree that it became spontaneously apparent to all concerned that the total of now mastered workable energy capability made possible the accommodation not only of the afterlife of the Pharaoh and of the nobles, but also of middle-class society. This inaugurated Period Four of our twelve-period history as determined by the economic patronage of the Leonardo type artist conceivers.
51 Period Four
52 In Period Four, we discover the work of the artists preoccupied with the afterlife enshrinement of the prosperous middle class. Family mausoleums and burial urns abound. Eventually the environment-altering activity of the in-life, temporal scaffolding technology, devised for the exclusive afterlife enjoyment of kings, nobles, and middle class, became so vast that surprisingly new thoughts were inspired and pronounced by several Middle East and Far Eastern prophets such as Buddha, Mohammed, and Christ, which found it logical to assume that there also could be provision for the afterlife not only of the king, nobles, and middle class, but for all humanity including the most lowly commoner. Thus was introduced Period Five.
53 Period Five
54 Period Five lasts approximately a millennium and one half ---the years a.d. 1 to a.d. 1500---unaltered by any new overriding patronage of the Leonardo type activity. Period Five witnesses the anonymous Leonardo types designing the great cathedrals of Europe. The highly organized physical resource capabilities all lead society toward the realization of a divinely satisfactory afterlife even of the most lowly of free men. In Period Four, slaves and indentured servants had been considered to be subhuman, and in Period Five they as yet often were overlooked in the newly oriented considerations of humanity.
55 Unfortunately holdovers of this viewpoint persisted here and there throughout Period Five. The ‘‘subhuman’’ status of slavery involved unfortunates taken in battle of all colors of skin. Unfortunately for their sake, those who had acquired the darkest skin in multi-generations of environmental adaptivity in the tropical Sun areas had also enjoyed a clothing-free functional body development which produced a physical superiority, and which in turn brought the highest prices paid in the slave markets. For millenniums the majority of prisoners of war who were cast into slavery were predominantly of white or swarthy skin, but their work value was so inferior to that of the black-skinned prisoners that in the great slave markets such as that of Delos the whites and swarthier became obsolete as slaves. This reduced the slave ranks to an almost exclusively black variety until, as we shall see in Period Seven of our history, the inanimate power-driven machines made even the blacks obsolete. With the coming of inanimate power-driven tools, the automatons, which are both impaid slaves and wage slaves, also became obsolete but have not even today been effectively conceded to be so by the lingering mores of an unenlightened, fearful society.
56 Finally in Period Five, the enormous magnitude of technological development going into the scaffolding preparations for the sublime afterlife, of all those classified as humans, proliferated in life to such an extent that society began to realize that not only the afterlife of everyone could be accommodated but also the living life of the king.
57 Period Six
58 This opened Period Six of our twelve-period total history. Its beginning is identified with the beginning of what became socially recognized as ‘‘The Divine Right of Kings.’’ God apparently had ruled that certain individuals should enjoy life itself as well as afterlife.
59 In Period Six the Leonardo type is patronized by the living king as well as by the life hereafter of the sovereign, nobles, middle class, commoners, and in most areas even of the slaves, both black and white.
60 Period Seven
61 As the temporal technology proliferated yet further in Period Six, it became evident that humanity could be organized to produce a bounteous life for the nobles, as well as for the king, while also accommodating the afterlife of all humanity. This inaugurated Period Seven of our twelve-period history. This is the period introduced by the Magna Carta. We have the artists making extraordinarily powerful and effective physical devices. Such paraphernalia as tools, weapons, painting, and sculpture were all made by the artists’ own hands. All were made to advantage and to please exclusively the living kings and living nobles, as well as the afterlife of all humanity-
62 Period Eight
63 Again the multiplying proliferation of technical capability and material resource availability and investible man-hours of society finally permitted the temporal life advantaging even of the middle class and that inaugurated the Eighth Period of our ten past and two forward periods of history. Period Eight became what we know as the Victorian Era. It lasted through the Gay Nineties and into the turn of the twentieth century. It terminated with the beginning of World War I in 1914. But as usual, the termination of a period overlapped the beginning of another. Period Nine begins almost unnoticed in the midst of the Gay Nineties.
64 Period Nine
65 With the 1895 invention of the automobile, radio, X ray, and automatic machine tools, and their subsequent twenty- two-year gestation into full-fledged industries, there was clearly established by 1917 the beginning of Period Nine of our twelve-period, all-history review of fundamental environmental rearranging followed by social reorientation as inaugurated intuitively, conceptually, and practically by the Leonardo type environment transformers. We had clearly established before the beginning in 1914 of World War I a vastly amplified resource realization by the Leonardo type and especially the newcomer crossbred industrial society Leonardo of the North American continent. These latter-day Leonardo types saw that the total environment had become so effectively rearranged that it made possible the advantaging not only of the afterlives of all humanity but also now of the living experience of all humanity.
66 At this new juncture the Leonardo types, who had for all the first eight periods been personally producing the prime designs with their own minds and the realization of those designs by the fine crafting of their own hands and exclusively human-muscle-powered tools, comprehended that there were not enough of their own Leonardo type artist-scientists, philosophers, and craftsmen to manufacture, i.e., manu-(hand)-facture(make), i.e., meaning to produce with their own hands, all the physical items that could and must be produced for all of humanity.
67 It was at this historical twentieth-century dawning moment of Period Nine that the Leonardo type realized that the energies which were being applied to the ends of levers---in the form of water wheels---which were pulley- and belt-connected to general overhead rotating shafts of factories and thence by pulleys and belts to individual machines, to which latter individual, wire-connected electric meters were directly attached ---that so much inanimate energy-driven productivity was thus made possible that he must of economic necessity now preoccupy himself with the invention and production of special machine tools and forming dies to be operated from the central power-driven shafting. These tools they saw would in turn mass-reproduce the end products of their designing for the advantage of all humanity. Thus we enter into the Ninth Period of our history of the economic subsidizing of what is known as the creative, or Leonardo type man, i.e., the mass production industry age.
68 Mass production was first applied to materials for other contractors or manufacturers to use and not for consumer end products. Mass-produced nails went to the carpenter contractor to hammer into the final building. The first direct consumer-distributed mechanical ‘‘end products’’ to be mass- produced were the pocket watches of Ingersoll, and the alarm clocks. Then came Singer’s sewing machines and Gillette’s razors.
69 Henry Ford, who thought of ‘‘art’’ as consisting only of Americana, fiddlers, and twinkle dancing, and gave little consideration to the art of other countries and times, thought of his own productive efforts as strictly classifiable only under the heading of prosaic ‘‘work,’’ or more specifically, as ‘‘hard’’ mechanics, engineering, and commerce.
70 Ford was inspired by the needs of the farmer, having him- self been borna farm boy. The great mass of humanity at that time continued to be farmers as in the past millenniums. Ford gradually evolved an omni-kinetic electromagnetically powered and intercommunicated network of industrialization and its most effective employment of the world-around, unevenly occurring, geographically remote resources which had to be integrated in order to permit ever higher performance capabilities by metallurgical alloying, precision forming, and synergetics in general.
71 Henry Ford introduced the era of employment of the 99 percent invisible ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum reality. Man’s eye cannot distinguish modular intervals of less than 1/100 of an inch. Ford introduced measurement controls of 1/10,000 of an inch in his automobile-manufacturing technology. He was mistakenly identified as a stubborn old man who persisted in making just one type of black automobile--- the Model T. While his General Motors competitors were preoccupied with customer courting by improving primarily only the visible instrument panels, visible upholstery, shift levers, motor hoods, mudguard shaping, and other seasonally pleasing modifications, Henry Ford was inaugurating the mass use of the invisible and ever higher performance per pound alloys and the invisible controls of ever closer measuring of invisibly operating parts of the machinery, structure, and production tooling of his automobiles. He was also the first to mass-produce automobiles on moving assembly lines. Nothing bigger than sewing machines had previously been mass-produced. Ford also concerned himself directly as the prime designer of his evolving machinery and structural technology and all the other supporting activities of final pertinence to the success of the massively reproductive industry. He led the design of his factories, tools, mining, transporting of raw materials all around the world, railroads, ships, loading equipment, communications and information handling systems. Ford was personally and inventively concerned with each and every techno-scientific and economic involvement from the raw resources situated in the scenery to the design and maintenance of the production equipment research evolution and, of course, with the design of the end product automobiles and tractors themselves.
72 As a consequence of all the foregoing historical initiatives when Henry Ford replaced the Model T with the Model A, he was employing fifty-four different alloys of steel in his Model T. These alloys were as unlike one another as diamonds are unlike pearls. But the electromagnetic, structural arrangements of those alloyed atoms were all invisible. Henry Ford’s establishment for humanity of all these invisible capabilities prevented his cars from suffering the swift deterioration of his competitors’ only superficially more ‘‘attractive’’ vehicles. Though the farmers were unable to see the alloys and were unaware of their existence, the cars lasted and lasted despite rough usage, with little maintenance, and almost without any weather protection. They had far greater performance per pound, hour, and kilowatt of invested physical resources than had any of the other contemporary vehicles. Most of Henry Ford’s one hundred and twenty carmanufacturing competitors of the first quarter of the twentieth century did not last, nor did their cars. But many of those earlier Ford cars as yet exist, particularly his Model A, of 1928, and are as yet demanding good prices, while most of the names of Ford’s at one time one hundred and twenty contemporary competitors are almost altogether forgotten and their cars are only to be found in museums.
73 By the mid-twenty-first century with the perspective advantage of time, it may come to pass that Henry Ford will have become recognized by world-around society as the Leonardo of the twentieth century, for it was Henry Ford, Sr., who first organized the mass production effectiveness of science and technology and its comprehensive logistical revolution as well as evolving the supporting new economics and world mass distribution of the high-performance products of mass production industry whose controls lay exclusively within the realm of the 99 percent invisible physical reality. He was the first to recognize that mass production is impossible without mass consumption and that required much higher wages which Ford was the first to institute. Through the great depression his operation continued as others closed and failed. Henry Ford thus introduced and held the prime initiative for Period Nine of our overall history.
74 Henry Ford set the stage for Period Ten of that part of our overall evolutionary history in which man consciously participates and takes responsibility for the transformations of both the environment and the consequent social behaviors of adjustment to the successively new environments.
75 Period Ten
76 Henry Ford also set the stage for, but did not lead, the inauguration and development of Period Ten of our overall transformational history. Period Ten was opened by a century-long succession of masters of the invisible reality---Newton, Hertz, Maxwell, Faraday, Boyle, Avogadro, Mendeleyev, Van’t Hoff, Michelson, Planck---and finally secured by Einstein. Ralph Waldo Emerson defined poetry as ‘‘saying the most important things in the simplest way.’’ By that definition Einstein became and will probably remain history’s greatest poet---for who could say so much so simply as did Einstein when he described physical Universe as E=Mc2?
77 There are varying time lags in the rate of industrial gestation of the Leonardo type’s inventions. The least lag occurs between invention and industrial use in the electronics industry. Here the technical advantages are conceived of and realized only by the invisible, mathematical probing of scientists. The invisible improvements are adopted because their logic can be disclosed only by mathematics. There are no grounds for sensorially based and conditioned reflexive objections: i.e., for exclusively opinionated arguments. Inventions in the aeronautical arts and their industrial support field are adopted within five years. This lag in the speed of adoption is occasioned by the spontaneously imaginable life or death importance involved in the practical employment of critical and most effective tools, all of which must be static-load-tested et al. before risking human life, either as test pilot or as ultimate passenger aboard the aircraft.
78 Inventions in the automobile arts are adopted by their industry within an average span of ten years, and railroad inventions take eighteen years to become standardly employed.
79 While buildings expand and contract physically between summer’s heat and winter’s cold, and even between night and day temperatures, those size changings are invisible to the human eye. While buildings are stressed importantly by great wind loads and snow loads---great skyscrapers sway as much as a foot, but relatively slowly---the deflective motions are invisible to man. Invisible also are the motions of the hands of the clock, or of atomic components of matter, though the latter hither-and-yon radiationally and locally, as matter, at 700,000,000 m.p.h. speeds. So also invisible to man are the vast high-speed motions of the stars and the relatively slow growth of trees. When man cannot see the motion, he rarely thinks realistically about it. He is not prone to be usefully critical of the invisible, yet real, kinetics of design function suitability, nor of relative performance efficiency. Nor are humans inclined to put their experience to inventive advantage for others until they have had a long series of personal inconveniences and accidents to prompt them into comprehending the involved critical events which they cannot see. Humans tend to identify as machines only those complex devices which they can see move. Unable to see their buildings’ seasonally slow energy transformations functioning as machines, which indeed they are, humans fail to design their buildings with the same degree of scientific integrity with which, for instance, they conduct the ten million discrete but mostly invisible tasks that have to be completed from the outset of ‘‘countdown’’ to the successful ‘‘blast-off’’ of a rocketed, humanly manned, extraterrestrially traveling capsule. As a consequence of humanity’s inability to see the energy transformation motions involved, the structural design of its land buildings and its livingry mechanics, such as plumbing equipment, lag three thousand years behind the evolution in airspace technology standards. Humanity’s housing structures and livingry in general are, to a high degree, only supersti- tiously evolved, economic prowess symbols, inefficiently repetitious of all of yesterday’s make-do mistakes.
80 We can say that in respect to the directly recognized motion experiences of the average observer that the higher the operating velocity of the art involved, the shorter is the invention-to-industrialization lag. Electromagnetic communication, operating at 700 million miles per hour, has the least lag. Astronautics operating at between 10 and 20 thousand m.p.h., jetonautics at 200 to 1800 m.p.h., and automobiles at 0 to 150 m.p.h. follow one another in the rate of contraction of the relative magnitude of delayed invention adoption. They also rank in the same order in degree of nicety of design production and control. One quadrillionth of an inch in electromagnetic communications timing capability, one ten millionth of an inch in astronautic mechanisms, one hundred thousandth of an inch in jetonautics, one ten thousandth of an inch in automobiles, and one sixteenth of an inch in the housebuilding arts. Housing, which seems to move not at all, has the greatest invention-to-use lag. The lag between invention and commercial use in skyscrapers is about twenty-five years; in single family dwellings the invention-to-industrialization-use lag is about forty-five to fifty years.
81 Because of the widely differing lags occurring between invention and common use as disclosed by the different arts, the twentieth-century Leonardo’s conceptioning of mass production industry---as being essential to the gratification of the living needs of all humanity---as yet has come into effective world-around use only in the omni-invisible electronic and semi-invisible aeronautical, and partially invisible marine, automobile, and railroad technologies. Industrial mass production, which long ago produced nails, screws, bricks, and small parts of buildings, is favorably effecting the production of many of the parts going into the skyscraper phase of the building arts, but none of the synergetic benefits of scientifically coordinated high-speed, lightweight moving-line production and general assemblage of final user products---as mass-produced, distributed, maintained, and removed---only under the omni-controlled, optimum environmental conditions---and thereafter the mass delivery of fully assembled, ready-to-use, rentable-anywhere, scientifically serviced, complex dwelling machine products has been realized, as yet anywhere. Such competence will never be realized by the utterly obsolete, ‘‘one-off’’ handcrafting, under uncontrolled field conditions, as practiced by an interplay of real estaters, banks, contractors, building lobbies, and government subsidy. All that is now dead. It will be replaced by the high-priority airspace technologies of the world being reoriented from a war- to a peace-aimed economy.
82 Mass production industry as conceived and instituted by the modem Leonardos will not affect its ultimate beneficiary, the common man and his home-life dwelling facilities, in important degrees, until the mid-1970s, when the 45-50-year evolutionary transition lag between the 1927 invention of the Dymaxion House, the equivalent in dwelling machine, service industry facility to the ‘‘Model T,’’ has run its course and mass proliferation of scientifically conceived, produced, delivered, maintained, and removed dwellings for all of humanity everywhere around the world will be realized in equal service satisfaction to that provided today by the rent-anywhere, leave- anywhere automobile facilities.
83 In the 1970s we will see skyscrapers mass-assembled, horizontally in the air-space industry’s controlled condition factories, vertically airlifted in their horizontal, low air drag attitude to a position over their installation sites and then rotated into a vertical attitude, lowered and made fast to their anchored-piling foundations.
84 The 1970s will see air deliveries all around the world of semi-autonomous dwelling machines belonging to the world- around, computerized, universal credit card managed rental service systems which will air-install, maintain, and air-remove the dwelling machines within hours. The power to operate semi-autonomous sanitation automation and the equipment involved will be mass-produced from the experience gained in the moon and outer space programs and equipment prototyping. The little black boxes that contain all the life-regenerating systems will dispense forever with the Earthians’ wasteful piped-in water supply and sewer systems. The only slowly and meagerly decreasing, essential chemistries of such recirculating systems will be replenished intermittently in small containers. Energy as electrical power will be beam- transmitted and satellite-relayed to humans operating anywhere within the solar system. Energy as Sun power will be universally employed.
85 In the first nine periods of the total history of the economic patronage of the creative individuals’ initiatives, the hand fashioning of the environmental rearrangements, advantaging both the afterlife and the living lives, occurred under the conditions of humanity’s thinking of reality as consisting strictly of the phenomena that could be apprehended directly by humanity’s senses of sight, touch, hearing, smelling, and tasting. AH invisible occurrences were considered to be either mystical, magical, or trickery. Then came man’s discovery of electromagnetics, atomic physics, and chemistry, and with them was opened to human exploration, discovery, and rearrangement formulations within the vast ranges of the invisible, non-sensoriaHy contactible reality. Thereby aH of yesterday’s mysteries were either logicaHy explained or dismissed.
86 During the first seven historical periods man thought of aU men as totaHy conscious of themselves and consciously responsible for their every waking hour’s act. In Period Eight Freud and Mesmer, through hypnosis, shook humanity’s complacent assumption of an exclusively conscious reality. Period Ten’s invisible electromagnetics, chemistry, biochemistry, and mathematics ushered in by the initiatives of the mass production invention of twentieth-century Leonardos---including the Einsteins, Bells, Wrights, Edisons, and even earlier Hertzs, Maxwells, Faradays, Boyles, et al.---made it evident to those who thought cogently about it that reality is more than 99 percent invisible. The swelling ranks of those trained scientif- ically to cope with the 99 percent invisibility of reality rendered humanity’s exclusively visible, news-pictured undertakings almost negligibly important.
87 There is a clearly discernible successional order in which the various prime categories of humanity’s capabilities come to employ, and to be almost miraculously advantaged by, the invisible reality’s exquisite reliabilities of technical formulation. The first to so prospect was mathematical thought itself. Next came the communications arts; next came the air-space transportations arts; next the ground transportation; and lastly wiH come the world-around dwelling and Hvingry arts.
88 The latter evolutionary scheduling of events is a fact that 99 percent of humanity has not as yet come to understand, but that fact underlies the students’ mid-60s intuitive rejection of all superficially based traditions.
89 Whereas the aesthetics of the first nine periods were senso- rially apprehendible the Leonardo type humans’ preoccupations in Period Ten have been predicated on an utterly invisible aesthetic. The aesthetics of Period Ten will probably govern the Leonardo type initiations of all centuries to come and will be the most important ingredient of humanity’s survival---if those of the human team now aboard planet Earth do indeed survive.
90 The great aesthetic which will inaugurate the twenty-first century will be the utterly invisible quality of intellectual integrity; the integrity of the individual in dealing with his scientific discoveries; the integrity of the individual in dealing with conceptual realization of the comprehensive interrelatedness of all events; the integrity of the individual in dealing with the only experimentally arrived at information regarding invisible phenomena; and finally the integrity of all those who formulate invisibly within their respective minds and invisibly with the only mathematically dimensionable, advanced production technologies, on behalf of their fellow men.
91 This aesthetic of integrity causes the new life now emerging aboard our spaceship Earth to abhor any hypocrisy. Children are spontaneously truthful. They simply aimounce that which they observe. Lying and warping of information is an acquired capability. Panicking fear employs lying, in the mistaken hope that it will be advantageous. Because it is a fiction it can be dispelled. Corruption by lying requires a mental selfdeceit, a misconception---a visualization of imagined experience. The unimaginableness of the invisible reality precludes such manipulation.
92 In the cold warring all that one side can do to the others is to jam, obscure, or destroy the information because its meaning content cannot be perverted. The intuitions of the young are overwhelmed by the awareness of the utter essentiality of comprehensively operative information integrity to their present and future lives. They are forsaking all vain symbolism of pseudo ‘‘distinction.’’
93 The young are as imbued with idealism, harmonics, romance, and awareness of the a priori mystery of ‘‘How come Universe?’’ as have been all generations before them. But their passion for integrity will ensure them against the disappointment and dismays of earlier generations all of which were betrayed by ignorance, fallacious credos, axioms, and passionately biased customs promulgated by ruthless muscle-wielded swords or more latterly by the most powerful, gun-imposed dictatorships which taught their followers to lie as an act of loyalty. Youth’s idealism and love of harmonic synchronization can only be guaranteed gratifyingly by the integrity to which their intuitions bind them.
94 Seeking an understanding of the comprehensive aesthetic trending throughout our ten past-period history we have traveled from an at first but dimly inferred review to a now overwhelmingly documented history of humanity’s initiatives and accomplishments aboard planet Earth. We found humanity at earliest recorded times philosophically assuming an eternal NOW Universe. In it death did not mean departure from life but only a transformation or transmigration of the individual. Thereafter we go through an illogical dichotomy of Universe into two Universes, into Life and Lives-hereafter, a temporal, character-trial life, plus two other eternal Universes: Heaven and Hell. That is, three Universes, one an Earth-Time Universe---that had its horizontal planes laterally extensible outwardly from its ‘‘civilization’’ or tribal center to the land of dragons and thence to infinity. Its perpendicular, up-and- down lines ran diametrically toward two separate timeless eternities, the Heaven and Hell Universes.
95 Throughout the first nine periods of the Leonardo type, era-transforming initiations we rewitnessed the realization of a series of major Earthian edifices which consisted at first of Naga, or water-surrounded, square-based, solidly packed, multi-pinnacled, rock and stone models of the world as it evolved slowly into single-pinnacled or one central-moun- tained world with climbable steps. Such edifices of Southeast Asia, Mesopotamia (ziggurats), and Central America simply informed society that this was the structural scheme of the gods, of whom their king was at first only one of many, ergo, many, mini-mountain spires in the complex, but later became ‘‘it,’’ requiring only a one-pinnacled structure.
96 In our first eight successive periods as led by the Leonardo types’ prime, teleological designing initiatives, the edifices became progressively occupied in ever increasing geometrical magnitude, first with a small subterranean chamber beneath the half-octahedronal, square-based, pyramidal edifices erected for the Pharaoh’s entry into the afterlife. Thereafter in the successive Leonardian type’s design revolution periods the interior of such edifices’ accommodations were progressively amplified to house the afterlives of ever greater numbers of nobles and their attendants; and then were amplified even more to accommodate all the middle-class afterlifers as boxlike chambers above Earth, as mausoleums.
97 Such depositories of human remains for an afterlife continuation are not to be confused with the temples which are extensions of the earliest theology. The columned temples of Egypt, Asia Minor, the Greek and later Roman worlds were gradually evolved from the earliest invisible cathedral, ‘‘beauty’’ spots, fung shut, where the breathtaking beauty and view from the highest, tree-line altitudes mountain shoulders evoked humanity’s most expansive thoughts and thanksgiving or prayer for further favors. The often worshiped and decorated trees on those beauty spots gradually died and were replaced by the formally decorated columns of the temples. The Greek temples were usually placed on the shoulder lands halfway toward mountain peaks so that while affording magnificent views which engendered humans’ most noble concep- tioning, there were always the much higher mountain peaks above to remind man of the far greater viewpoint and power of their gods. The temples were for temporal life’s thanksgiving and beseeching.
98 Finally the edifices designed by the Leonardo type teleological initiators of this latter series of thanks-and-ask stoneforest edifices became at first the private, tiny chapel for exclusive use of their living king within which he might pray for help in his coming battle. This king’s chapel period was followed by the relatively small thirteenth-century crusader-patronized abbeys of England. Then came the vast interior of the great cathedrals to accommodate preparations for everybody’s afterlife and prayers for some favors in this life. But the mountain-peak architectural tradition of the early wats persisted, in the form of increasingly impressive spires superimposed on the prime cavernous church or cathedral, or the ‘‘mountain’’ spire became entirely detached from the cavernous houses of worship and prayer. Thus sometimes these man-occupiable caverns (duomos) have their exclusively god- occupiable, higher mountain as a separate outside tower (campanile). By this total overall evolution the once solid stone piles finally were penetrated in even greater degree until they became the cathedrals (meaning Universal, i.e., for all people). The cathedrals are finally relatively thin-shelled, orderly designed piles of externally buttressed stone. Chambers for depositing the bodies furthering afterlife were at first, with pyramids, placed below the cathedral flooring but more and more people had to be accommodated after life, the graveyards outside the cathedral developed.
99 Returning again to consideration of the mass production functioning of Period Nine, we find that it expanded reality ninety-ninefold to include the whole range of the invisible events of Universe. These had been held previously by humans to be magical and superstitiously mystical. Now they had become the realities of everyday science.
100 In Period Ten we witness the progressive abandonment of the cathedral and churches by an ever accelerating succession of individually intuitive withdrawals from religious groups not because the individual has less awareness of a greater wisdom and integrity operative than is ascribable to any known capabilities of humans, but simply because their further participation in dogmatic formula and the unthinking rituals of such religious ceremony was ever less acceptable as being truthfully cogent of the total informative environment.
101 Period Ten, which has much more to accomplish, is destined to emancipate all humanity from physical drudgery and conversely to give every individual the freedom to reemploy his original unblemished childhood’s faculty of thought and experimental curiosity drives in whatever way each finds to be most constructive.
102 Thus we find that all the superstitional symbolism of yesterday’s houses of worship have become irrelevant and obsolete, though redolent with pathos, regarding both the innocent devotion and trust placed upon the words of the dogma harnessed and devotedly considerate ‘‘fathers.’’ The great cathe- dials, smaller ministries, churches, temples, pyramids, ziggurats, ghats, and wats thus become ever more informative only as archaeological disclosures of the great human epic. As such they become increasingly inspirational as integrity seeks to understand and to appreciate the great dedications of the past, and to offset the errors of yesterday with ever greater fulfillment of humanity’s conscious, metaphysical functioning in the evolutionary events of macro-medi-micro Universe.
103 Thus we find humanity beginning to recognize that science has discovered that there are no experimentally demonstrable static things. There are no solids; no at-rest statics. There are only weightless metaphysical and weighable physical energy events both characterized by irreversible proclivities and unique interferences, frequencies of oscillating symmetries and maximum asymmetries, complementaries, etc. There are no experimentally demonstrable things. We have no use for nouns; and can use only verbs. Newton’s instant, noun-thing Universe has been replaced with Einstein’s scenario, verbevent, wave-frequency Universe. There is no experimentally demonstrated phenomenon space, only experimentally disclosed, discrete packages of energy, as discontinuous quanta events.
104 As we saw earlier, we have events and no-events, moments and no-ments. There is no zero time. Time is always a duration-magnitude event We have only becoming and became. We have only yesterday and already begun tomorrow. We have no static single frame Universe. We have only an aggregate of non-simultaneous and only partially overlapping experiences, subjective and objective---a scenario of separate quantum frames of electromagnetic reality events overridden by a plurality of omni-interaccommodative generalized behavioral laws which are utterly abstract, weightless, invisible, metaphysical concepts---manifesting an all-embracing integrity of intellection. We also have the disassociation of that weightless integrity which is unique to life from the physical regenerative chemical organism of seven pounds at birth, augmented twentyfold more at maturity.
105 This new era, Period Ten’s cosmology, is ushered in by Einstein’s ‘‘Cosmic Religious Sense,’’ first published in the New York Times Sunday Magazine at New Year’s of 1930, right after the great financial ‘‘crash’’ of 1929 in which latter the living gods of exclusively physical power were banished forever from the highest throne of human esteem. In the same year 1929 the ninety-second isolation of the total, finite family of ninety-two regenerative chemical elements was accomplished and the invisible-ingredients cupboard, of the invisible reality, was completely stocked to service the constructive assemblage of the invisible tenth period of history.
106 In the closing days of the twentieth century humanity seems to be returning into the Garden of Eden of an invisible, ‘‘edificeless,’’ comprehensive integrity of an eternally self-transforming and regenerative Universe. In this tenth period all humanity will find itself intellectually empowered to teach itself through individual thought.
107 The god function in all humanity of the capability to think and act with teleologic-integrity will ever approach but never quite attain the perfection of absolute integrity which we now identify in utter abstraction as truth or god. God as a verb, as an abstract love-momentumed gyro-compass, will intuit the emergent directional courses to be steered. Otherwise, there will be no more humans aboard spaceship Earth and the metaphysical functions of orderly discernment and mastery of the physically disorderly behaviors of Universe will have to be carried on by minds operating elsewhere and otherwise in Universe.
108 For there are to be Periods Eleven and Twelve of Leonardo type initiations of the design revolution to be realized by humanity somewhere in Universe to complementarity comprehend, cohere, and resonantly regenerate the discontinuous, positive-negative quantized universal evolution.
109 Period Eleven
110 In Period Eleven the Leonardo types’ economic-patronage mandate will be that of the newborn children of all humanity everywhere. In Period Eleven this Leonardo type will be preoccupied with the safeguarding of the innate faculties of the newborn. In historical Period Eleven it will be the function of the Leonardo type design revolutionary to compound for humanity the ever increasingly augmentable advantages inherent in the fact that each child is bornin the presence of less cosmological and cosmogonal misinformation and is endowed with as yet undamaged, unfrustrated love drives to apprehend, comprehend to understand and be understood; to employ regenerativety the ever more reliable information, electronically retrievable by each individual, for private individual consumption; and thereby potentially, to discover and designingly employ on behalf of all humanity an ever greater inventory of the generalized principles interaccommodativety governing universal-metaphysical and physical evolution.
111 Period Twelve
112 In historical Period Twelve it will be the function of the Leonardo type initiators of the design revolution to employ the evolutionary environment modifications capabilities, com
113 ing ever more importantly within the domain of human potential, under the inspiring patronage mandate of all the as yet unborn generations of humanity, ever-to-be-in-Universe, while always ensuring the evolutionary advantage of all those now living as inspiringly informed by all the experiences, positive and negative, of all previous generations of mind in man.
114 And when Period Twelve of history has reached maturity and mind-in-man-in-Universe has masteringly explored vast time-distance ranges of the presently operative scenario ‘‘Universe’’---and approximately all of the physical phenomena, once only superstitiously considered by humanity, will be electrochemically comprehended by humanity in general--- humanity will have learned that the human organic, anatomical complex, identified as the human corpus or body, is exclusively physical, and constitutes the most anticipatorily successful self-regenerating and replica-reproducing automated machine design known to exist within Universe, being lesser only in evolutionary self-regenerating complexity to scenario ‘‘Universe’’ itself, wherefore man will have learned that life is not the machine but is the utterly weightless, immortal individual intellectual integrity. And when that degree of universal integrity of understanding has been attained by mind-in- man consciousness, all the questions of Universe will have converged into one great and forever unanswerable question.
115 ‘‘How come Universe?’’---and its complex inventory of omni-non-contradictorially, intertransforming, and only partially overlapping, interaccommodative, abstract, weightless, generalized principles. This is a question which seems guaranteed to be eternal by virtue of the forever irreversible directional progression toward an infinitely non-attainable, ergo timeless truth. We can only approach but never attain completely inclusive, infinitely incisive truth or love, or understanding.
116 The integrity of the loving dream is the integrity of Universe and being humanly unattainable is inherently uncorruptible and infinitely regenerative.
