012* The Whole is made of triad parts, that is, everything is 3-in-1! Table of Contents 1 Intro 2 Takeaway 3 Argument 4 Outro 1 Intro In troubled times, there’s always a silver lining. We shouldn’t let this perfect curative crisis go to waste. By takehome message I mean that endowed enlightening primeval common-sense which allows us to make sense of things, and which, without it, has us at best, perplexed, and, at worse, simply babbling nonsense. It is built in us since get-go, but, lacking awareness of it, means, that the more we fix things, the more we make things worse. In order to address the cause, we need to aim our efforts at the foot of the fire, and, not at the flames, for fear of further fueling the crisis. Let’s start from square one, with defining our concepts in order to gain clarity in the quest. We start by mentioning broken times, then it stands to reason that we know what it means to be whole. Right? By all accounts this seems to be a good place to start. From pre-K, we’re told that the whole is made up of parts. Well, in all truthfulness, this definition of whole is what put us in the hole, to begin with, no pun intended. All it tells us is that if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. But, what if it is broken? It doesn’t tell us anything. How can we fix things, if we don’t even know what it means to be whole, to begin with? There must be a take-home message that life teaches us. How to be whole. But, what is whole made up of? Parts, you say? But, how so? That I may know how to piece the parts of the puzzle together. In this age of ours, driven by science-&-technology, what is the takehome message, that provides us the tools to be successful on Earth? The Takeaway is the answer to the question of what makes up the Whole, of what makes us Whole. I work for AustinISD teaching science to at-risk students at the Travis County Juvie facility. I’m running for Congress because I rediscovered the Takeaway. I need to share it, the good news cannot, and should not die with me, it needs to see the light of day. I am running for the United States House of Representatives, District 21 Texas. District 21 comprises Southwest Austin, everything west of IH 35 from Buda to Northwest San Antonio, including San Marcos and the Hill Country. 2 Takeaway Let me cut to the chase, and tell you upfront about the most powerful, wonderful, human rediscovery of all times. Later on, standing on one foot I will walk you through the steps of the argument, but, first let me tell you what the Takeaway is. What is the takehome message that life teaches us? Let me explain it with pecans, literally with pecans. I teach science, and in physics I learned early on to explain complicated things by way of user-friendly models. What I am about to present may shock you. But, one thing I can promise you. You will not come out of this experience the same person you came in. It’s that powerful. So, then, without further ado, let’s do it. As mentioned, I will start by the conclusion, leaving the reasoning till later. Let me layout the Pecan Seed-of-Life Model for the Takeaway. By the way, the pecan is actually native to today’s southwest US and northeast Mexico. It is the state tree of Texas. So, it is only fitting and proper to name the Takeaway model honoring our friendly pecan. Just as the pecan is made up of a husk, shell, and kernel; so, I will map the husk as a square frame background, the enclosed shell I will map as an ellipse, as middle ground, and, lastly, I will map the kernel that is housed inside foreground, as a complex right-triangle. In words, this model is saying that the whole is made up of a triad of parts. Meaning that the whole as such unfolds as the triad parts of the two sides and hypotenuse of a complex right triangle. The complex simplifies the complicated. This means that the vertical side of the right triangle represents the imaginary,

It is that we shouldn’t let this perfect, curative crisis of civilization, go to waste. Every cloud has a silver lining. Living in denial doesn’t help in the least. Today’s present danger, of a slow prolonged death, or else, a quick sudden extinction, is real, hardly in need of further insistence. We need to take ownership of our destiny, for things don’t just happen of their own accord, rather, we make things occur. The quest, rather, is, if our world is broken, how then, do we make it whole again? The first prompt that comes to my mind, is, how did it get broken, in the first place? Well, before talking about fixing Washington and the World, perhaps, we should start by asking a more fundamental question. How do parts constitute a whole, that is, what makes up the whole? A good place to start is with the definition of the concept. That is, since we’re talking about broken things, and, about making things whole again, that must mean that we already know what makes up a whole. Right? Well, let’s see if we really know what makes up a whole. Yes, we’re used to saying that parts make up a whole, but, allow me to rephrase it, what makes up the whole? If you reply that parts make up the whole, then I inquire, what exactly is this make-up? Because, until and unless we address this underlying issue, we’re just overlooking it, not really answering it. It seems like we’re answering, but in reality, it’s an oversight, not an insight, into the nature of the cardinal problem facing us. For too long we have been taking for granted the obvious, that parts make up the whole, without as much as requesting an account of exactly, how so, is it that the parts make up the whole? The only answer one gets is that parts make up the whole, because the whole is made up of parts. But, this is only a repetition in reverse order, not really answering the question asked. I truly believe that the devil is in the details, that evil hides where we least expect it. My claim is simply that our world is broken because we don’t know how to make it whole, to begin with. That is, we never defined whole in terms of its parts. Proof of this is that the more we try to fix things, the worse things get. That’s because we don’t really know what we’re doing. Let me try to explain it with apples. Leadership is clueless, degrading knowledge to a matter of opinion. There seems to be no criterion for making sense, it’s all up to whom you ask. The usual argument between two persons regarding a whole issue goes as follows: on the one hand, this, and, on the other hand, that. Granted that the whole question is made up of two contrasting parts, but, how do these parts, besides being parts, make up the whole? Surely, the solution isn’t coming up with a one-armed guy. No. Rather, it’s more like on the right shoulder of one of the persons, this, and on the left shoulder of the other person, that; and, standing on the shoulders of both persons, is the solution.  That is, it’s more like a second-story outcome. Let’s cut to the chase. Allow me for the sake of economy of time, express my thought upfront and outright, and, then, afterward continue providing a brief outline of the argument.

010* Bible’s Creation Story Takeaway, Primeval Common-Sense, is PaRDeS! Dear Friends of Dialogue: Good, bright, and hard-working friends of mine tell me that, with things as they are in the world today, that the only way out is again, direct intervention. I couldn’t agree more with them, though, I would further add that, already, always, has this been the case. The question, rather, is what form will help take this time around, in contemporary postmodern times, moving forward. The question is, we can get ourselves out of the hole we got ourselves in? Or, do we need outside help getting out? If no, and yes, then, how? We shouldn’t let this perfect curative crisis go to waste! Every cloud has a silver lining. Upfront, let me tell you my rediscovery, followed by a brief narrative of the timeline leading to it. My claim is that, embedded at the very beginning of the Bible Creation Story Genesis 1:1, lies the Takeaway, in waiting to be rediscovered. The problem is that current translations and interpretations cover-up the take-home message. So, then, we have to go back to the original biblical text in Hebrew to rediscover it. This takehome message is such that its absence would surmount to setting humanity up for failure. This obviously cannot be the case. Therefore, there is this one Takeaway that gives us a sure chance of being successful in this world. Some may question the whole project idea, saying that it can’t possibly be, after all this time of Bible study, that nobody got wind of it. My reply would be that verily there’s nothing new under the sun; just that things seem to come into focus at their right time, when things are ripe, and never before. In any case, don’t knock it until you’ve heard it. Ensuing is the narrative of my claim. Please follow along. My expectation is that this promo motivates you to visit www.Ric4USH21.com, and, while at the website, listen to the podcasts which are a simplification of the content of my book “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101”. In all this, the goal is that, once recovering the Takeaway, we can now go ahead with the ReConstitution of our World, transition out of Crisis City and unto PaRaDiSe Earth.  It’s that simple. Well, without further delay, let’s get started. No algorithm applies here in the quest for the Takeaway, only pure intuition, using our own given primeval common-sense. ~ When things break down, when things don’t meet our expectations, it’s time to go back to square one. If things went wrong, and, the more we try fixing things, the worse they get; then it’s time to reboot the system to initial factory conditions. Return to the very beginning, to the beginning, of the beginning of the beginning. For things have a beginning, and, from there move outward in time. You get the idea. The next question is, and, how do we get there, to this primeval beginning, to take a peek, recover the elusive Takeaway, and, then, fast forward to the present, so that we may arrive at the solution in postmodern times? By all accounts, there are three arguments that pretend to address this issue of going back to the origin of the universe, making it the theme of our times moving forward. There’s the view of Science, the take of Philosophy, and, then, there’s the insight of religion of Revelation. Though the timeline is obviously Revelation, Philosophy, and, then Science; herein, for the sake of convenience, we’ll actually work our way backward, from the present to the remote past. The reason why we need to recur to this triad of versions, is due to the fact that science describes, but does not explain, whereas, philosophy explains, but only the fields of knowledge, falling short of the source at absolute time equal to zero, avoiding division by zero, so to speak. This last matter, the account of the source itself, supported by facts, though beyond reason, is only accessible by revelation, or, so it seems. Here we need to distinguish cosmogony,

Where: At Amazon, in paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 009* Brief overview of book “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101” Dear Friends of Dialogue: There are so many good light books out there, that it’s high time for a heavy weight to balance things out. At this point in the series of podcasts, I do make a space and present a quick bird’s eye view of my book. The reason is simply because by now you must have certainly asked the question, how does all this so far tie-in with the book?  In any case, the title of my book is “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101 (PaRDeS primevalism ~ treeseeding our original common-sense on the Bible’s Creation Story 1:1-2:3; Universal World ReConstitution, from Crisis City to PaRaDiSe Earth)”. The title pretends to make the statement that, while there may be, on the one hand, the hard physical and biological sciences, and, on the other hand, the softer extensions of the social and political sciences, there has yet to be anything in-between. Sure, there’s the humanities, but these are hardly sciences. Rather, philosophy is the antithesis of science. This simply doesn’t make any sense, unless nonsense is acceptable nowadays out of force of habit. If the title is the what, then, the subtitle would be the how. It explains the source that led me to reach the conclusion of the existence of the field, to use this image taken from physics. In a nutshell, it makes the claim that ultimate knowledge, human science, rests on the Primeval Big Bang of the Creation Story. Without giving more away at this early stage, which will be provided in due course, let’s move on with the narrative. Our claim is that there is a science that stands tall on the shoulders, on the one hand, of the sciences, and, on the other hand, of the humanities, and this has got to be human science. Introductory level, that is, 101, but not implying in any way, shape, or form, baby-talk. This is no babble, rather, it pretends to layout the cornerstone of civilization moving forward. Let’s jump straight into the work, without further ado. Enough introduction has already been made such that in what follows you will surely feel a déjà-vu familiarity with the content. At one point, I was tempted to start the series of podcasts with an outline of my book, but decided against it. The reason simply being that pedagogically it was unsound. The way to do things, is to give samples taken out of real-life experiences that showcase the general principle involved, and then, and only then, move on to present the thesis statement. The work is structured in III Parts. Part I deals with “Greece, Israel, and Modernity”. This provides numerous examples of the occurrence of triads in all walks of life, ranging from the core school subjects, to daily experiences. The purpose is to guide the reader to wonder, one swallow doesn’t make spring, granted, but, a whole school clouding the sky, surely does. So, much smoke must be indicating that there’s a fire going on. Part II is entitled “The Seed of Life”. If you’ve been reading and listening so far, you must by now know what I am referring to. The Seed of Life name, obviously takes off from the Tree of Life image.

In paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 008* In a Nutshell of: Creation Story - PaRDeS - BeRe’shIth InBeginningOf/Genesis 1:1 Dear Friends of Dialogue: In following, we express the takeaway message of BeRe’shIth InBeginningOf/Genesis 1:1 (בראשית), in as compact a manner as is practical to express principles for rapid later consultation. Our focus will be on the translation from the original Biblical Hebrew, on the one hand, what it does say, and, and on the other hand, what it does not say. Then move on to the interpretation as best suits a modern world moving forward that is driven by science-&-technology, but, incorporating philosophy and religion into the mix as well. The old fix, simply can’t, and didn’t stand, the stress-test of time. Instead of giving us PaRaDiSe Earth, it has inherited us Crisis City. For this, it ought to be held accountable. Torah (תורה) means Teaching. So, then, what is it teaching us? Lesson one should be about empowering us to continue the job as grown-ups, of being successful on Earth, continuing Creation, creatively reconstituting by employing this four-tiered foldable powertool of PaRDeS, which, is the Takeaway of the whole Creation Story! Just like in pre-K. Lesson one isn’t about US or World history, a chronological narrative of events. Rather, it’s about learning the abc, and, the 123: the science of letters and numbers. In other words, lesson one is about language. Unfortunately, what is missing in teaching is exactly how the whole is made up of parts. Can’t blame the educators, for they themselves weren’t taught it either. This is where we intend to make up for the shortcoming. For, without this primeval common-sense explained, we’re perplexed. What happens in practice is that in trying to fix things, we only end by making things worse. Having good intentions, while necessary condition, is not sufficient to get things right. We definitely need to know what we’re doing. Time is running out, we need to shape up before we blow ourselves to kingdom come: children, grandchildren, pets, and all. Just as Creation begins with one day of the seven days, verse 1:1 begins the one day. Let’s take it from the top working our way downward. It, verse 1:1a-g, begins with the word 1:1a BeRe’shIth InBeginningOf (בראשית), which, in turn, begins with the letter beth b 1:1a/a (ב). This letter is the gatekeeper. In its role, it is interphase. In the Hebrew alefbeth, the ordering is alef a (א) beth b (ב) gimel g (ג), this last letter corresponding to our letter c. By the way, as an aside, this kind of reminds me of the Johnny Walker character on the label. Well, back to the text. Behind the curtain, we have the silent letter alef a (א), while in-between, we have the gatekeeper beth b (ב), and, in front, we have the walking letter gimel g (ג). In Hebrew, since numbers correspond to letters, the further cue that alef a (א) is the whole, is telling us that the whole is one! Interpretation is based on the cue coming from the whole and triad in one of the alef a (א). In any case, the rest follows, as if by added inertia. The opening message of this first letter beth b (ב), is that its bottom part points backwards to the silent letter alef a (א). This is as if saying,

In paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 007* Executive Summary of: Creation Story - PaRDeS - Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 Dear Friends of Dialogue: The greatest human mystery on Earth has always been how to translate and interpret verse Genesis 1:1 of the Bible Creation Story, for all else follow suit. But, not any which way, rather, in a way that is both, a faithful translation of the original Hebrew, and, that its interpretation is enlightening to a science-&-technology driven modern world. This apparently inane thing, actually makes all the difference in the world. Did I hear anyone say, that the devil was in the details? Square one of Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 (בראשית) is a make, or, break situation. How else can we explain the fact that, on the one hand, the Revelation of the Holy Book has been around for the last 3000 thousand years, and, on the other hand, the perennial crisis of civilization, that is only worsening as we speak and write? The explanation is simply because getting right, the beginning of the beginning of all times, at absolute time equal to zero, determines the outcome of what comes thereafter. Getting it right from the start, duly empowers us, and insures that we have a chance of being successful in this world; that ultimately, it’s up to us. But, getting it wrong, and, banking our trust in the Bible as we do, will be misleading, and it will blind us down Dead-end lane. All the Bible versions out there in print, both Jewish and Christian, with none meeting the above requirement, have all oversighted the Takeaway, and are part to blame for the broken, corrupt, and misguided world we live in. But, fortunately, now we know why Crisis City, the way to PaRaDiSe Earth, and, most importantly, how to achieve it in our lifetime. But, the good news cannot die with me, it needs to see the light of day. Herein we state our thesis that PaRDeS PaRaDiSe (פרדס) is the Takeaway. The short answer is, that the virtue of all things is, that the whole is made up of a triad of parts. The Takeaway PaRDeS PaRaDiSe (פרדס) is an acronym standing for the Divine, as whole Sod Secret (סוד), with the human triad of parts, as Derash Discover (דרש), Rémez Remite (רמז), and Peshat Plain (פשט). Our claim is that the cornerstone of civilization is traceable to the Bible Creation Story in a series of concentric steps as follows: starting with the background Bere’shith Genesis 1:1-2:3 (בראשית); then, focusing on the one day 1:1-1:5; then, zooming in to verse 1:1; further pointing to the one word Bere’shith InBeginningOf 1:1a (בראשית); then, zeroing in to its opening letter beth b 1:1a/a (ב); and, ultimately, ending with what virtually precedes it all, namely, 1:1a/a álef a (א). I will start by putting the results upfront for quick consulting, then then go back to the start, and trace out the whole argument step-by-step. The following leaves out all explanations, same that are provided in the other podcasts. We will highlight Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 (בראשית) in what follows in italics and with quotation marks. ~ The current imprecise translation, and misleading interpretation of Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 (בראשית) of all Bible printed versions, reads. Herein we’re using Elohim in place of G’d:

Where: At Amazon, in paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 006* Gloss of: Creation Story - PaRDeS - Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 Dear Friends of Dialogue: The problem with getting the one first thing wrong, is that everything built upon that will be skewed, hence the perennial crisis of civilization. “Árbol que crece torcido, jamás su rama endereza”, as the saying goes down south. This is telling us to go back to square one, to absolute time equal to zero, namely, the Ma‘aseh Bere’shith Work of Creation 1:1 (מעשה בראשית). A civilization, whose being is founded on it, will grow up clueless. Showing up at the top floors with cracks, decomposition, and bewilderment. The reason is simply because the whole won’t be constituted out of its triad of parts, down the line the connection of the whole with its triad won’t be made. The whole, won’t coalesce as a triad. Instead, it will remain disconnected, on the one hand, as whole being, and on the other hand, its constituent parts, won’t be able to align beliefs, values, with actions. But, let us take it by parts, putting the bits and pieces together of the puzzle. Figuratively speaking, we could express it as the spear, the spearhead, the tip of the spear, the subtle point of the tip, which is the endpoint of a line extending from infinity to the tip of the spear, you get the idea. Same applies here with the Bible Creation Story Bere’shith Genesis 1:1-2:3 (בראשית). At the end of day, the penetrating power of a spear will ultimately depend on the point at the tip of the spearhead. The above analogy applies squarely regarding our question at issue of getting to the root of the problem ailing humanity. Taking it from the top and mentioning the whole sequence. There’s the TaNaKh Bible (תנ׳׳ך), there’s the Torah Teaching (תורה) of Moses’ Chumash Pentateuch (חמש), there’s the Bere’shith Genesis 1:1-50:26 (בראשית), there’s the Bere’shith Genesis 1:1-6:8 (בראשית), there’s the Ma’aseh Bere’shith Work of InBeginningOf 1:1-2:3 (מעשה בראשית),the Creation Story, there’s also the Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 (בראשית), the one-first word, there’s also the Beth B 1:1a (ב) the one-first letter, and, finally, there’s the Álef a 1:0 (א) the behind the curtains silent secret letter, one-first of Hebrew alefbeth. There are a few sticking points that need addressing on their own in order to make significant progress. There are three items, two substantives, mayor and minor, and one procedural. The mayor item being the matter of the very first word, same that we interpret as Bere’shith InBeginningOf 1:1a (בראשית); the minor item is the matter of the so-called direct object marker that we interpret as ’eth dialogue-with-you (את); the procedural item, is regarding how to read the text, given the previous two concerns, the matter that we resolve by way of the accordion figure of speech. Once this is set in place, the rest follows smoothly. Now, as regards the interpretations of Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 (בראשית) as such, there are three versions out there, one on the Jewish flank, one on the Christian side, a hybrid one, and now a fourth, our own contribution. On a previous podcast, I was of the opinion that either they are right, or else, they’re wrong,

Where: At Amazon, in paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 005* Spearhead of: Creation Story - PaRDeS - Bere’shith Genesis 1:1 Dear Friends of Dialogue: Herein we will give you a taster, to whet your appetite, as to what is PaRDeS, where it actually comes from in the Bible Creation Story 1:1-2:3. However, in spite of this brief being introductory, we will not leave out the Hebrew, including the Hebrew transliteration into the Latin alphabet, besides the usual English translation, obviously, though with changes that I deemed personally necessary. I consider that getting used to seeing the original Hebrew, harnessed user-friendly by transliteration, alongside the English, will, on the long run, go a long way to making the kind and diligent listener and reader, more proficient on the Bible at hand. Overall, my recommendation is to go back and forth between both websites, below mentioned. Also, once feeling comfortable, by all means, delay no more and delve deeply in my book “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101”. It has a rather lengthy subtitle that professes to tell the whole narrative, namely, “(PaRDeS primevalism ~ treeseeding our original common-sense on the Bible’s Creation Story 1:1-2:3; Universal World ReConstitution, from Crisis City to PaRaDiSe Earth)”. Is my book well written? Well, if you ask me, no, definitely not. Any inquiry, original, trailblazing, is initially far from easy reading. It wasn’t because I didn’t try, or care. I had my hands full, trying to make sense of my feelings, and interpreting my thoughts into legible language, trying to birth it, in the first place. Somehow, by way of both these websites, www.Ric4USH21.com and www.PaRDeSism.com,  that I am now trying to make up for it. Taking it from hostile, enclaved, to amiable. Of course, the proof is in the practice; meaning: to the degree that my constituency embraces my supposed contribution to solving the crisis that has civilization in shackles. Let me give examples to illustrate specifically what I mean. Commencing with including Hebrew all across the board. By way of contrast, even Jewish authors, addressing a captive audience by birth, wishing not to dissuade, avoid using Hebrew outright, preferring plain transliteration. I’m talking about an audience of born Jews, where most likely, some are fluent. I, on the other hand, use it right, front, and center, never missing an opportunity to display it. Some close friends of mine, out of sincerity, though perhaps not, have advised me to leave out the original Hebrew entirely. That it may alienate potential readers; that it’s bad for business. But, how can I omit it? How can you avoid the medium and still deliver the message? They are inseparable, the Holy Book HaSefer HaKodesh (הספר הקודש) and the Sacred Language Lashon HaKodesh (לשון הקדש), as I learned the hard way, not to mention the ’Éretz HaKodesh the Holy Land (ארץ הקודש). So much is lost in translation, and the further back you go, the more this maxim is accentuated. Additionally, it is hard writing something down, when, I myself, am having difficulty understanding it. It is not something I already knew, and am striving for a more pedagogical manner of conveyance.

What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 004* Nothing explains Creation; but, the Bible Creation Story explains everything Dear Friends of Dialogue: Everything has a beginning, or else, it doesn’t, in which case, it has always been. This seems to follow since a Universe does exist, unless you deny its existence. The question then is, what’s with this beginning concern, and why should we even care about it at all? The bottom-line of, it doesn’t have a beginning, is that the whole wide Universe has always been. This line of reasoning comes from the side of Athens Greece, known as the Eternal Universe, as distinct from that proceeding from Jerusalem Israel, known as Creation Big Bang. The philosophical position of the School of Athens is known as the eternal regression argument. Today got started yesterday, yesterday got started the day before yesterday, and so on, you get the idea. This infinitely regressive line of thought has no beginning, it just keeps going further and further back in time. The argument was, that since infinity has no beginning, the Universe, likewise, has no beginning. Simply put, it has always been. End of argument. The consequences of the Eternal Universe are no Creation, no Creator, no creatures. There are no personal relations whatsoever. Things just are. They are what you make of them, nothing in themselves. While this argument might put anybody against the ropes, at a first bout, its magic is dispelled once we start questioning its footings. It has as much support as a brush hanging from the wall. Argument it is, but, what is argument? Argument is reasoning, but, whence reasoning? In consonance with the primary argument, we could likewise reenact it here, and say, that reason comes from logic, logic comes from math and language, and math and language comes from, well, numbers and letters have always existed, somehow. The main argument fleshes out in its partial arguments. Irrespective of the argument, whole or pieces, the point being is that it explains nothing, merely phases out all and everything. This self-sustaining reason has its merits, without a doubt. Like if you want to go from here to there, or, plan from today to tomorrow, it works quite well. It has no problem with the finite. However, it gets into deep waters when it starts addressing the non-finite, or infinite. The problem is that infinite is not finite, it isn’t just a bigger finite. To cut to the chase, my opinion on the matter is simply that what is limited is our reasoning. It has a range of validity, namely, the finite; and, beyond that, it simply doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. It leads us to some outlandish conclusions that are plain nonsense. Of course, one could object that the infinite doesn’t really exist, that all we have experience is of the finite. That all there is finite. End of argument. While this is stable, it is hardly convincing. We can no more proof the existence of the infinite any more that we can disproof it, either. To me, it sounds like stalemate, more than conclusion. If I had all the time in the world, like not going hungry, I could conceivably spend it till my batteries run out. In any case,

Dear Friends of Dialogue: Please allow me to start this brief by dispelling certain legitimate concerns you may have regarding having a good handle on the core notion of PaRDeS. This matter is of prime importance, for our whole Campaign message hinges on this key concept. Herein I will demonstrate in plain English that you already have a good handle on this key concept PaRDeS from get-go. If you can talk, if you can cook, then you already know it. The reason is simply because it’s built-in, written in stone as it were, in our very hearts. If there’s a single word, compound word, sentence, or concept, that best describes the essence of what makes us what we are, what makes us humans, humans, then this acronym is PaRDeS. Let’s start this adventure with a trip to the kitchen, one of my favorites places of a house. I eat, you eat, we all eat. One can get used to anything, except to not eating. That’s how important it is. And of eating, there’s dessert, what ends a good meal. Let’s do a hands-on thought experiment. Let’s bake a cake. Where to start? Let’s for the sake of expediency, go to the cupboard. Therein we find the ingredients. But before that we need a recipe. And, don’t forget, let’s actually start by mentioning the obvious, the cook. Together these three, baker, recipe, and ingredients, make up a fourth, the cake! Let’s move on, that I hunger to take a bite and accompany it with coffee, or tea, or maybe you would prefer a glass of milk. So, then, say, I go to the Internet, or to an actual cookbook. There is says, “How to Bake a Cake”, followed by the Methods for making each of the four types mentioned: Vanilla Pound Cake, Chocolate Cake, Apple Cake (Pie?), Following Cake Recipes, and Community Q&A. Let’s take it from the top with the easiest of the three cakes to bake. It numbers the steps, starting with Method 1 Making Vanilla Pound Cake. Heading the list comes, 1 Gather your ingredients..., 2 Preheat the oven to 325 oF ..., 3 Grease a cake pan..., 4 Cream the butter and sugar..., 5 Add the eggs and vanilla, 6 Stir in the cake flour..., 7 Pour the batter into the pan..., 8 Bake the cake for an hour and 15 minutes. Then it goes on to mention Method 2 Making Chocolate Cake. This is three steps up the ladder of difficulty, taking 12 steps, including number 12 Enjoy! Next comes Method 3 Making Apple Cake. By the number of steps, I would conclude it to be one bit harder, same number of steps, no mention made of enjoying. The last one isn’t actually a recipe, rather general guidelines, Method 4 Following Cake Recipes. If by now you’re thinking that perhaps this guy hasn’t actually ever baked a cake. Let me tell you that your suspicions are not well founded; maybe not a cake, but I have baked bread, back in the days. And, now that I’m thinking about, I may actually try it sometime in the near future. And, yes, I have had plenty of cake slides in my time. Well, back to the thought part, of the hands-on thought experiment. Though all is thoroughly mixed, one can, nonetheless, tell certain elements apart. Just like in a chemical compound, with proper care and procedure,

What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 002* Bible Creation Story - PaRDeS, the cornerstone of civilization Dear Friends of Dialogue: The present is built on the past, the future is built from the present, which in turn, is founded on the past. Any way you look at it, starting from the present, any viable future growth plans, necessarily must have clarity as to its primeval origins. The stumbling block of contemporary modernity is that it all leads to a fork in the remote past, and provides us with a double-standards. On the one hand, we have technology, science, and philosophy, originating ultimately from Athens, Greece, and on the other hand, we have religion, likewise, ultimately originating, but, this time from Jerusalem, Israel. The unsurmountable challenge to scholarship has always been how to bridge this gap. That is, how to make the connection between Athens Greece and Jerusalem Israel. Contrariwise, we have to forfeit the unattainable holistic view of things. Settling, instead for this split of modernity of secular weekdays, Mondays through Thursdays, and sacred weekends, of Fridays, Shabbaths, and Sundays. I, too, was trapped in this crossroads of civilization. Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining. The toll that I paid was high. I quit my Ph. D. program on account of its being mathematical physics, not theoretical physics, as I would have liked. At one point, I too traveled overland to India, quitting my teaching job, and philosophy postgraduate studies, though this might have spurred me to inquire and yet didn’t provide the answers. But, I pondered, there must be a way out of this labyrinth. It simply doesn’t make any sense. The world is whole, it’s our understanding of things that’s messed up, not the world. Or rather, our misunderstanding of things is what has things in bits and pieces. But, where is the cue? The cue to unravel the puzzle. That is the question. But, it wasn’t until I came over to the States and discovered my remote roots, that I gained clarity on the subject at hand. As Hispanic, I share the history of Iberia. Well, it happens to be the case that Spain and Portugal have the most diverse populations. Starting with the native Iberians, of course, then, in my twisted timeline, came the Phoenicians, the Romans and the Carthaginians, the Jews, followed by Germanic tribes, then the Arabs. Then these Hispanics, of Hispania, the Roman province, stumbled unto America, and the mixture of natives, so-called Indian, and Conquistadores came about, resulting in today’s mestizaje. Well, to make a long story, short, I always saw myself as half-&-half, more or less, of Spanish and Indian heritage. Having been brought up under this belief, it shielded me from finding the cue. However, change didn’t come, but until my arrival in Austin, Texas, a more diverse population, than my native Mexico, mostly what is called a testimonial culture, on account of the Aztec and Mayan influences. Well, it was only then that I came to see, that, my previously held belief was not accurate, however much ballpark precise it may very well be the case. The thing is that Spanish is not just Iberian, the native population. Rather, that Iberian means having Germanic, Jewish,

Where: At Amazon, in paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. What we create, here and now, reconstitutes the universe! 001* I have a Calling to serve, a Message to deliver, and a Job to get done! Dear Friends of dialogue: Join the PaRDeS Cause, and help the Universal ReConstitution Movement for World Repair! I am Ricardo Turullols-Bonilla, and I am running for the United States Congress for Texas’ District 21 in the House of Representatives. Firstly, I have a calling to serve born out of enthusiasm. It all started two scores and a few years ago, back in Mexico City, where I had a business making infant incubators. Suddenly, gaining an awareness, as if listening to soundness, that I was not meant to be making infant incubators, but, rather, incubators for the human spirit! This was around my mid-life crisis, not an uncommon occurrence to embark on a second sailing. Verily, the wise books of antiquity say that the owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk. I go a long way back and have a very diverse knowledge base. University of Texas at Austin, Physics B.Sc.; Imperial College London, Mathematical Physics DIC (Masters); Iberian American University MBA, Mexico City; and National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, incomplete graduate studies in Philosophy. As for teaching, I taught graduate level at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City for three years, and going on twelve at Austin ISD since coming over. I started teaching science at the ALC, Alternative Learning Center, later at the Gardner-Betts Travis County Juvenile Justice, first at Detention, and of late at Leadership Academy, a residential long-term placement facility. Secondly, to the message that I have to deliver. I came to Austin back in 2002, and started writing right away, seven books up to date. The first two books came out as twins, “Friends of Dialogue (The quest of keeping the heart – a philosophy of practice)”, and, “Dialogue of Friends (Making sense of the human spirit – a practice of philosophy)”. The intermediate ones were scaffoldings to the seventh book, with a watershed breakthrough book standing out, namely, “Triads (The preSocratic origins of dialogical science)”. However, it wasn’t but until the seventh book, that I finally felt having reached my quest. It is “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101 (PaRDeS primevalism ~ treeseeding our original common-sense on the Bible’s Creation Story 1:1-2:3; World ReConstitution, from Crisis City to PaRaDiSe Earth)”. Third, and finally, to the Job that needs doing. The buck stops with me, because I so choose. Change starts with me as well, here and now. I couldn’t agree more with what the University of Texas at Austin says, “What starts here, changes the World”. We are living the age when the perennial crisis of civilization transitions from chronic to acute phase. I witness everywhere and always, a broken, corrupt, and misguided world. The fact of the matter is that we live in a globalized world, wherein, nothing changes, unless and until, everything changes. The takeaway in all this is not to let a good crisis go to waste. Where there is a will, there is a way. As if out of the blue sky, opportunity presents itself. The incumbent representative for the US House district 21 decides to retire, after a long thirty years of service,
