B. ON ARTS, MUSIC, DRAMA AND DANCE 1
The musical forms of a social class flow
in a dialectical manner in line with its essence. For a proletariat in
the early twentieth century, it has a revolutionary character. Music
like other cultural forms, as Lenin puts it, “….... is like cogs and wheels for
revolution”.
2
What
is beauty, what is moral and what is culture? These follow an
inevitable law of nature, the law of antecedence. 3
Wagnerism: The Theory of Richard Wagner regarding music drama,
are exemplified in the construction and rendition of this own works.
Its chief point, especially that in which it differs from the method of the
old Italian composers of opera, is its abundant use of the let motif for
cumulative dramatic effect and its insistence on the equal participation of
music, both vocal and orchestral, poetry, scenic effect, and dramatic
actions, no one of these being subordinate. 4
Class-music is inevitable in a class society. The place of music is
not neutral it must fall into its bipolar relationship – proletarian music
or the bourgeois music. Extreme polarization of music ends up with the
third force of neutralization taking a dominant position as a societal force
in the world of music. C. ON RELIGIONS, BELIEFS, SUPERSTITION
AND VALUES

That fellow who creates God can also
create god out of science. The religious interpretation of science is
the direct opposite of the materialist interpretation of science. Yet
they can be teaching the same thing in essence without using the same set of
words. Moving into their esotericity, one often sees the same in them. “Religion must not be allowed to command
science; science must be allowed to command religion. Religion is
higher superstition believing always within the spell of the unknown 2
In the name of religion or God, the
evangelists form themselves a class, stopinder and consequently engage
themselves in class struggle because of opposition. Religion is by no
means capable of becoming “neutral” even if it wishes or hopes so. It
gets tossed about useful to the struggling forces. Religion, utterly born
of uncertainty and fear of all kinds, therefore, cannot exist without God as
the source of reference. God cannot exist without religion, the social
foundation for the existence of God. Religion, lacking an
understanding or knowledge of the laws which govern the development of
matter, finds it impossible to escape from the mystery of the universe and
of life. The scientific analysis of the objective existence of
religion in a society shows that religion is not only having social
functions and roots, but also having origins, development and extinction.
Religion will disappear under the higher phase of the development of
society, and become just name. Once the mental development of man has
historically reaches a level sufficient for the conclusion of the
impossibility of the existence of god, once this level is attained, the
Darwinian struggle for survival of religion will come to an end – for it
just disappear into something else. The doctrine bearer becomes the
museum specimen in history, and they become the synthesis for the terrorism,
oppression and revenge caused by their own psychology of hate. In a
word, shall be buried in the “Ancient World”. Religion the betrayal of
“God”, must bear the punishment form “Him.”
(May 11, 1973) 3
By
observation, mathematics is created and then the declaration that
mathematics “creates” the external phenomena. As “God geometrizes the
material world just as the material world creates God.” Religion,
metaphysics and idealism had confused mankind for millions of years.
And it is still causing confusion today. Matter is external, it has
always existed; it has no beginning and nor end. Its changes, that is,
forms of matter change in a dialectical manner. Religion, Metaphysics
and Idealism are temporary forms of matter perform by human brains in a
particular historical period. Our epoch is the epoch whereby religion,
metaphysics and Idealism have reached its dialectical leaping point, after
so many years of quantitative changes – from less developed spiritualism to
religion and metaphysics and to idealism. Idealism is the last stage
of the development of the Idea. Idea includes metaphysics, religions,
and the like. The study of the mind has yet to complete, and you will
see more discovery in future.
D. ON UNDERSTANDING, MENTAL-AFFECTIVE
AND PSYCHOMOTOR LOGICS
1
To
understand is to integrate impressions from outside of our body that have
been processed into finer hydrogens of the thinking, feeling and moving
centers. Projections, images, concepts, subsequent feelings, thoughts
and inner efforts are some of the essential forms that emerge in the course
of this integration process. A book generally should not be assumed to consist of
meanings – the meanings are in our mind. When we read a book we always
project its content in the mind. Nevertheless, the book itself is but
a material object and the mind is the active worker. The understanding
must come from the real mind. 2
There are 3 octaves to knowledge formation 1.
Inward and upward flowing sense
knowledge a) Isolated b) Abstract c) Combination (observation) – concrete
or perceptual knowledge 2. Inner conceptual knowledge a) Concrete knowledge leaps to
conceptual knowledge b) The stage of theory c) The reflection of reflected 3.
Downward and outward flowing of
applicative knowledge a) Directed knowledge with ‘I’s
moving away from the center b) Systematic and planned knowledge
enters body mechanics at the body periphery c) Interactive changes to the
outside world Physical domain of occurrence: Brain functions a) Neural activities in motor
nerves
The 3
fundamental knowledge octaves is a real process. A confused man often
passes only abstract, isolated knowledge of nature. The method which I
have used to study in my Upper Sixth school days is not wrong. It is
slow because I was not exam orientated.
1
It is a common error of shallow thinkers
to take for granted that nature is simply “dead” objects or living beings
for man to manipulate with and that to change it depends on our will, our
likes and dislikes. They have made the same mediocre mistake and have
quite forgotten that it is these external objects that trick and toy their
wills, their likes and dislikes. Undoubtedly, the human activities
directed towards external objects will inevitably bring about changes to
nature and to man. An apple and a man are two cosmoses of matter fill
with different psyche. When the man eats the apple, the apple changes
its form and gradually it is no longer an apple. But the man himself
also undergoes changes, notably in his weight, his psychic experience,
perception and quality. 2
Good
absorbers of radiant heat are also good emitters of radiant heat.
Black bodies are good absorbers of heat. This simply means that it has
a high capacity of absorbing all the heat energy that strikes it.
Although its electrons vibrate, they have not blocked the photon or the
electromagnetic waves entry or exit. They are always good emitters of
electromagnetic waves (radiant waves) 3
The natural processes of nature,
man, society and the universe also continue into the brains. Elements
from the environment, whether it has already existed or is in formation,
enter the brain as impressions and experienced as reflections. The
reflected contains the many ideas, the many theories, the many measures, the
many plans, etc. or in short, conceptions. The reflection (as
explained by Marx in The German Ideology)
to me is the reflected – according to my essay on “refection”. (On
nervo-reflectant-clarification) A non-nervo-reflectant activated
superstructure needs not necessary disintegrate on its own accord. Its
disintegration has its cause in some other development of some other
nervo-reflectant activities. Nervo-reflectant is made up of hydrogens
of impressions and some degrees of refinement. 4
All that is external is to an organic
being specifically, material being generally, must appear in a particular
manner to the said being that is reflecting. This means that all
material beings, be it organic beings or material objects, have the ability
to reflect all that is external to them. 5
Light
can be transformed into mass and vice-versa. Light and matter were
initially seen as not connected, not convertible under the Law of
Conservation of Energy and Matter. But Einstein observes this law.
Both are forms of energy and inter-convertible. Consciousness or the
spirit, the minds or gods or God should follow this fundamental law too!
None is located outside because everything is inside including all outsides!
Empty spaces is inside, time and eternity are just inside. Light can be transformed into mass and vice-versa.

The causes of development of organic being
(including thinking) and the universal is in a dialectical manner.
Confusion is the result of contradiction within one’s thinking process. A reflection is not equal to a reflected. A
reflection is transformed into the reflected, but the reflected is not
transformed into reflection directly but indirectly, through our activities
to change and bring about new forms of matter which again is the source of
new reflections. And the process goes on and on. New reflection need not
necessarily comes from our activities but it can and always has been from
the activities of other forms of matter. Thought and reflected. Thought is a category,
a member, of the reflected. G. ON MATHEMATICAL LOGIC 1
Mathematical logic consists of: 2. Law of contradiction 3. Law of exclude middle 4. Commutative Laws
a)
Commutative law for addition
b)
Commutative law for multiplication 5. Associative Laws c)
Associative law for addition d)
Associative law for multiplication 6. Distributive Laws e)
Distributive law for multiplication over additon 7. Propositional function &
non-propositional form 8. Topology 9. Negation 10. Affirmation 11. Set theory 12.
Logicist concept of
Mathematics 13. Intuitionist concept of
Mathematics 14.
Formalist’s concept of
Mathematics 15.
Postulate 16. The mathematical concept called Entropy 2
There is a direct correlation between
mathematics and the physical world around us. All mathematics are
mirrors of this world.
3 THE MATHEMATICS OF ENNEAGRAM SYMBOLS AND
NUMBERS
Why in the enneagram calculation 3/3 and
7/7 are not expressed as 1 but rather, they are expressed as 0.999999? It is a mathematician’s choice to express in a way
that can reveal certain truths in the sequence. Six decimal places are
needed show all the number differences in the decimal presentation.
Enneagram Numbers Expressed in the Enneagram Symbol
The decimal system is the only way to present the
inner octaves of the law of seven and to show inner movements of the 6
different inner stopinders in a special sequence. The 6 different
stopinders are identified with numbers 1, 4, 2, 8, 5, 7 plus one outer
stopinders which is 9. Using the decimal system to present the inner
“octaves” of the law of three does not reveal stopinders of different
numbers but the same number repeated continuously, in the same “force” as 3
or 6 or 9. If 3/3 and 7/7 is presented as 1 the intention is
not to reveal the nature of the inner octaves of the law of three.
