 RELIGION OF TIME CUBEThe earth's shape is curved, round, like a stone column. We walk on one of the sufaces and the other one is set opposite....The circle of the sun is twenty-seven times that of the earth and that of the moon." --Anaximander, 575 B.C. "And God said, let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters....and God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of the waters he called seas." --The Bible, Genesis (1:1:6) "There is No God, only Godism....Humans are evil bastards to claim that a god is all-powerful when it is impossible for a male queer god to give birth to a baby or breast-feed it - a power that only a Mother posseses, and to claim that a god is all knowing - when the queer bastard is too stupid to comprehend that 4 simultaneous corner 24 hour days and 4 Earth rotations occur within a single 24 hour rotation of CubedEarth." "Isn't it ironic; God is Alanis Morisette!" --Response to the end of the movie Dogma Personally, I happen to like the idea of God being queer. If God is queer, what vindicating irony for the guy in the cafe telling me my gay florist date and I innocently sippy expresso will BURN IN HELL. What an evil dumbass he would turn out to be. But really, I think Gene Ray's metaphors as crenius (crazy-genius) as any other religious philosophy out there. I think it's crenius to call a Oneism God queer, because quite clearly, a single God doesn't have a girlfriend. And why should he? Girls are stupid dumbass. They eat up your money, suck out your soul, then spit you in a pile of ranid mutagen and stomp on you, and then you ask them out. A dateless, wifeless god would have it pretty good: he's finally worked out where the hell he wants to be: eternally free of comitment. Of course, there's the downside of being a virgin older than Yoda. Dr. Gene Ray, through Time Cube, sees the world much like I do. Through opposition and symmetry. Views from which Zero is God, where simple equations (my favorite is the fractal Mandlebrot set generated by z=z^2+c) generate the laws of the universe. From this view, Dr. Ray sees the idea of a single entity looking down on the universe as absurdly imbalanced. I'd claim there's incredible opposition and balance in Christian religion: heaven vs hell, Christ vs anti-Christ, God vs the Devil, but ah! There's the males again. It's all males. Great for a gay bathhouse, but Dr. Ray doesn't think that works for religion. I'm guessing if the Christian template had turned out: there exists a working class God and his druggie ex-girlfriend in and out of Cloud Detox, he'd have a different opinion toward Christianity, or as he calls it, 1Day 1God. Time Cube says "Every creation is of opposites." That opposition itself is creation. This idea is the core of half my personal theses so call me nuts if I agree here. I believe consciousness and life and all the whole sort of general mish mash exists because things tear off of the perfect balance of zero, each negative tears off of a postive and vice versa. They've been created and are sustained from this core rule, very similar to the simplicty and yet infinite complexity of a fractal generating or creating an infinite world of self-similar images from the simple equation z=z^2+c. Romeo cannot exist without Juliet, drama cannot exist without conflict, work cannot exist without play, war and evil cannot exist without the triumph of peace and good, and vice versa for all. And I think that's close to what Dr. Gene Ray through Time Cube theory is getting at. A mother and a father as creators and teachers of a child--vaguely like gods--together have more symmetry than the singular entity of God looking down on everything. Creation via two, nurishment via two, raised and developed by two. I think that if a child were raised by two polarized forces--some angel and some devil teaching him the balance of the universe, that Dr. Gene Ray would look favorably on this template. According to Christian belief, all of man was doomed from paradise by the greed of a single man, Adam, thrusting him into Earthly struggles (and victories) forever, or at least until the world ends. Hence, again, I believe there's incredible opposition and symmetry in Christianity, but I guess Dr. Gene Ray and Time Cube disagree. (Maybe God and Satan the angel and devil, life partners and lucky bastards to be free of a church declaring they don't have the right to mary or adopt, let alone adopt and raise the whole race of man. Personally, that would definitely suffice for me). In the science fiction show Babylon 5 (don't finish this sentence if you don't want to read a spoiler), it the human race turns out to be "raised" during it's adolescence by two ancient warring races. The race of Vorlons all named Kosh who believe in order and productive development, and the Shadows which believe in evolution through chaos and war. The complexity of it is that the conflict (and order) itself of being raised by the conflict of "order vs chaos" itself is order vs chaos, hence the Vorlons and the Shadows learn themselves how important the duality and opposition of parenting is. God, in turn, is a single entity, and I believe Dr. Gene Ray and Time Cube theory say that is not enough, that that is stupid dumbass of the way the world works, that the beliefs that the creation, education, and sustenance of life through war and peace and good and evil, are those that truly reflect the nature of Zero, the nature of balance, the nature of duality and of opposition, rather thatn oneness, of Oneism. In the show Battlestar Galactica, there's constant argument over whether there is a single god or many gods. My resopnse is, again, all or nothing, or both or neither, or sort of one or the other, or not. Maybe God is a lonely queer adopting a stupid dumbass race, or six billion itty bitty goldfish, or does the same with an opposed gay KKK-following Nazi general who always wants something quite different in bed. Or a slew of Greek gods, or Alah, or Buddha, or a trinity of God, the holy spirit, and Jesus (three times the lack of conflict, all one, all Oneism). Again, I'm baffled why Time Cube doesn't think the duality and opposition of God vs Satan, heaven vs hell, or Christ vs Antichrist (which fortunately turned out not to be Hilary Clinton, Marilyn Manson, or Tinky-winky the teletubie), is sufficient for a belief system involving opposition. Perhaps because all those negatives are seen as evil dumbass, to be rejected by those with anything remotely near 18+ AD&D wisdom. (which, unfortunately, would land anyone not powergaming a high level wizard to burn in hell), whereas (in my personal examples), the Vorlons and Shadows are seen as equal partners in raising the race of man. On the same note, I would think that the duality of mother and father are quite similar, extremely unopposed other that one has boobs and will only flick from a bad Meg Ryan / Tom Hanks movie to a Patriots football game because Tom Brady was born mildly attractive. Dr. Gene Ray mentions the Matrix on TimeCube.com. My relation is this. In the Matrix trilogy, agent Smith shares his epiphany about man to Morpheus (while he's too high on morphine and spice melange to really give a damn): The first matrix was designed to be a place where none suffered. It was a disaster. No one accepted the program, entire crops were lost. Others thought we lacked the programming knowledge to define your perfect world, but I believe humans define their existence through conflict and suffering. The architect tells the same to Neo in Matrix Reloaded (when the white glowing door at the end of his path jumpers him to the living room of a slightly balding Nazi that my gay florist date commented could have at least used a rug or a love seat): The first matrix I designed was a work of art, sublime, a triumph equaled only by its monumental failure. Thus I redesigned it based on your history to more accurately reflect the various evil snothead dumbass of your race. All religions, TOAs (theory of everything), and bad anime or manga series (my favorite is the Wolf's Rain belief of the wolves of a distant elusive "paradise"), have a certain metaphysical world view of where we are and what's just outside man's welcome-matted front door. Skyscraper high pillars of matrix pods, a universe made of water (Thales), or the heaven and hell creniously portrayed by South Park. Cubist Dr. Ray's TOA claims it's a Cubed Earth sustained by dualing opposite hemispheres of night and day, which passes four simultaneous days in a single rotation of the Earth. Again, again, I believe it's all and/or sort of one or another. (I will say that Cubed Earth is definitely the most phat metaphysical term I've ever heard coined). I don't know where it came from, or why Time Cube doesn't see all the conflict throughout the Christian TOA as true to opposition. But, if I've digested Dr. Gene Ray's proverbial red pill at all, hopefully now you have too, and can now much more intelligently argue with him that CubedEarth is snothead, and with me that that the primordial elements of the universe are watermellon Smirnoff and daredevil frisbees.
