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,

I have a calling, born out of enthusiasm; a book to deliver, “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101”; and a job to get done, place the cornerstone of civilization for the III Millennium! Title: “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101” Subtitle: “(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)” Author: Ricardo Turullols-Bonilla. 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.

Title of book: “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101” Subtitle: (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) Author: Ricardo Turullols-Bonilla. 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:

Title: “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101” Subtitle: (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) Author: Ricardo Turullols-Bonilla. 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,

Title: “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101” Subtitle: (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) Author: Ricardo Turullols-Bonilla. 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.

Where: At Amazon, in paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. 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,

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,

Where: At Amazon Formats: In paperback and digital, in English and Spanish translation. As we are creative, here and now, the universe reconstitutes. ~ Iberia and Europe are straight-jacketed to the configuration of Medieval times. Fortunately, after numerous debacles, Europe has only recently partially moved forward with the European Union, EU. (Partly after seeing the success of the US model.) However, it is stuck in first gear and is in dire need of fresh air. Suddenly comes Catalonia, with its independence bid from Spain, equally caught in the time-tunnel of times long past. But these are just closeup, and middle-take, to the background crisis of civilization, and framing it all is the history of creation of humanity on the face of the Earth. What’s cute about this lineup of ducks is that their sole crisis exit is the same. The cue is to transition by configuring from nation-states to people-states, and the vehicle is the University. Allow me to now explain it standing on one foot. But before proceeding, I will include the PaRDeS, primeval common-sense, Universal ReConstitution for World Repair T-diagram upfront, though will not refer to it directly at present. This is taken up more fully in other podcast episodes which may be found in the web platforms, as well as in my webpage with pdf included to follow along. This could very well prove to be the spring of the New World. The long-awaited ticket that Europe has been yearning for; and the whole wide world, might I add. Secession has been tried before, as recently as say, in Quebec respect to Canada, Scotland with respect to Great Britain, and Great Britain from the EU, with the successful Brexit. Why, then, not Catalonia from Spain? But, these cases somehow lacked the specificity that universality requires. Perhaps, it’s the fact that the Spanish Constitution disallows it, on top of the love for independence of Catalans. I’m not sure, but whatever it is, it has become a white-hole of creativity that could very well turn the page of history in the III Millennium. The Old World has reshaped itself of late, though the New World is still in budding. The Old World has gone through Reforms and Revolutions, but it’s still the same Old World. By this I’m including the Americas, Asia, Africa, and the rest, not only Europe. The present-day European nation-states are a product of the aftermath of the dissolution of past empires. Only a reconstitution could transform the Old into the New. What kind of reconstitution? You might be asking. A PaRDeS Universal ReConstitution for World Repair, nothing short of this will do the job. The European Union has been very actively reinventing itself, almost beyond recognition, were it not that its pieces are still the same, though better bonded than previously. A further integration of Europe can only proceed swiftly, if a further dissolution of the nation-states happens concurrently. Before the creation of the European Union, such dissolution of nation-states was not advisable, for protection was their reason of being, in the first place. That is, protection of peoples from aggression from neighboring countries, as the series of conflicts testify, up to, and including, the last world conflagration. But, with the protection that the EU offers Europeans,

As we are creative, here and now, the universe reconstitutes.   Dear Jewish Learning Institute: The reference to the main query of “What is the secret to Jewish survival?”, arises in an ongoing Jewish Learning Institute course entitled, Great Debates in Jewish History, imparted by the talented and innovative Chabad Rabbi Mendy Levertov, at the Austin Texas Dell JCC. But, previous to the main query you ask the following two coupled questions in the textbook. On page 17, you ask: “What are the advantages/disadvantages of a system that relies on prophecy for legal rulings”, and “What are the advantages/disadvantages of a system that relies on reason to derive legal rulings from the Torah?”. My answer to your coupled question is enthusiasm, that is, my reply is second story to the options provided of prophecy and reason, since each has something to recommend it. Continuing now to the main query, on page 23 of the same textbook, you inquire, “What is the secret of Jewish survival?” Now, regarding this question, the multiple options provided are: a) Antisemitism, b) Divine miracle, c) Torah observance, d) Jewish stubbornness, e) Jewish wisdom, and f) Diaspora. My reply to this second question, in consonance to the first one, would be g). That is, in keeping alive and well the Reception of the handed-down live-tradition, (Kabbalah), of primeval PaRDeS, the original common-sense. IMHO, an argument for the sake of heaven, is that there can only be peace, Shalom, if we're of one piece, PaRDeS. Standing on one foot, allow me to explain what I mean by PaRDeS, of this unique primeval common-sense. This I will undertake by presenting a template of PaRDeS, the primeval common-sense, followed by three examples that illustrate the claim made, that in ordinary usage, Torah-engrossed Jews use this treeseed quite intuitively, without as much as seemingly being aware of it, by all accounts. I arrived at the above conclusion, that there is a cornerstone of reason, this PaRDeS primeval common-sense, docked in the one Creation Story, in my work whose subtitle narrates the plot: title: “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101, and subtitle: (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)”. My book is available at a popular website in paperback and digital formats, in both English and Spanish translation. More information at my website, www.pardesism.com, #RicTurullolsBon on Twitter, #RicTurullolsBon on Facebook. So, then, with that out of the way, the narrative is that we all have a primeval PaRDeS, original common-sense, that is hard-wired in our hearts, as found encrypted in the Bible’s Creation Story, Bere’shith Genesis 1:1-2:3. The source-code is PaRDeS PaRaDiSe (פרדס): acronym standing for Peshat Plain (פשט), Rémez Remite (רמז), Derash Discover (דרש), and Sod Secret (סוד). As science teacher and author, always striving to simplify, otherwise complex things, to my students to get the concept across, it is the case that I rely heavily on a user-friendly teaching device, the T-diagram. The “Seed of Life” T-diagram Model consists of a square, containing an ellipse, and inside it a right-triangle.

This makes me 5-way stakeholder in Catalonia’s Independence bid from Spain. My request is that we install a forum to dialogue University world-wide this issue ASAP. The end result has to be a win-win-win-win situation to all concerned, namely, Catalonia, Spain, Europe, and by extension, world-wide. We shouldn’t let a good crisis go to waste. In this singularity, unique state of affairs, it happens to be the case that the topic is the issue. What we have before us is a crisis of the mainstay of the West, what we understand by democracy. But here again, it’s not democracy alone that is at stake, rather, democracy might be the topic, but the issue is understanding. Let me first explain what I mean by saying that the topic of Catalonia’s independence bid from Spain, actually showcases the issue facing modernity moving forward. For too long we have been living out a stalemate situation of a prolonged crisis of Western civilization. The initial impulse given to the West by Israel, Greece, and Rome, has long since vanished into the gray background. What is now needed is a grassroots renewal, not more of the same top-down rancid Continental and Anglophone philosophies of postmodernity that miss the point to a considerable degree, if not entirely. Enough vitality has already been shed in useless struggles in the far and near past, that we surely need creativity to step up to the plate. Necessity is verily the mother of resourcefulness, and there’s nothing like a good crisis to put the stressed system to the test. The question is, will the globalized world of East-&-West deliver this time around? The understanding democracy theme is actually the issue of the primeval, the original common-sense, the ultimate source of reason. For reason is at the cornerstone of all learning, what universities do for a living, such that updating it would have a refreshing overall effect on civilization. I wrote a book precisely on the above theme, entitled “PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101”, same that can be found on the Internet, in paperback and eBook format, in English, and in its Spanish translation. If we want the social edifice to continue ever higher, scraping the skies, then we need to concurrently dig deeper, till we reach bedrock. Nothing less than this will do on the long run. This essay addresses Crisis City, covering worldviews, starting with modernity of Newton; of the School of Athens, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; of the three schools of the preSocratics, Thales of Miletus, the Milesian, Xenophanes of Colophon and Parmenides of Elea, the Eleatic, and Pythagoras of Samos, the Pythagorean; and finally, Moses of the Pentateuch Chumash Five Books, of the Kabbalah. What I found was that there is an ultimate cornerstone to reason, a primeval,

Or conversely, if PaRDeS is the original common sense, then crisis is today’s quite ordinary common nonsense. The Jews, as such, are never mentioned by that name in the Bible, I mean the Torah Teaching, as the five books of Moses. This word Jews appears much later, in post-biblical times, and then referring to the inhabitants of the kingdom of Judea, when the Promised land, Israel, had divided into the northern kingdom of Israel, with capital Samaria, and the southern kingdom Judea, with capital Jerusalem. In any case, in the Torah Teaching, what is only mentioned is Beney Yisrael Children of Israel. Ben means son, and bat means daughter, so the masculine plural is Beney, or children, hence Beney Yisrael Children of Israel. Since my work is limited in scope to the Creation Story, verses 1:1-2:3, neither Jews nor Beney Yisrael Children of Israel are actually mentioned. Rather, ’Avraham Abraham, the patriarch of the Beney Yisrael Children of Israel occurs much later, close to the end of the Parashah Section Noach Noah, 6:9-11:32, and more fully in Lech Lecha Go to yourself, 12:1-17:27. My point of view of the Creation Story is that it is the seat of understanding. I would mention Beney Yisrael Children of Israel, not Jews, though in modern parlance, they stand for the same thing. But it is important to distinguish it, for Jews is more akin to Judaism, as religion, as an ism. Recall that ism, as system of belief is more of Greek construct, like in Platonism, Modernism, Realism, Idealism, you get the idea. But this notion of ism is quite alien to the spirit of the Torah Teaching, and this is my point. The Torah Teaching is more about PaRDeS, about Creation, followed by humanity and about Beney Yisrael Children of Israel, and ultimately about the interaction of these two. Judaism as such is a later development, as is Zionism and the modern state of Israel. I mention all this to dispel the notion that I am trying to proselytize in favor of Judaism. Let me be clear, I am not a scholar of Judaic studies, much less a rabbi, though I am a cryptic Jew, better known as Hispanic Jew or Latino Jew. By this later concept I mean that I descend from those Sephardic Jews in Spain back in 1492, who were made an offer they could not refuse: burn, banish, or convert. My story of PaRDeSism is universal, humanist at its best. It is clearly linked to the Abrahamic religions, of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, but for that matter, as well as to the non-Abrahamic religions, of Hinduism, Buddhism, and many more. But that is not my main focus of attention. Some people advise me to take the Hebrew out from my narrative, that not everybody is fond of Jews. That this fact will play against people willing to read my book, PaRDeSism ~ Human Science 101, and ultimately to join the PaRDeS primevalism cause-movement for ReConstitution. What can I respond, should I use English, instead, a language that didn’t even exist a thousand years ago, much less at the dawn of civilization?

You came to the right place, for education is the baton of culture in the race of civilization. What doesn't get solved here, only gets worse out there; better still, if it's done wrong here, it gets amplified in the field of greater society. Teaching is learning, but let's not confuse the many topics with the single issue. Topics might be drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, but the issue is what we understand by education. Moreover, it's not education that's at issue, but rather understanding. Just like a building, it all starts off from a cornerstone; same here, reason has an original common-sense which lays the ground-work for understanding through language. The problem is that this original common-sense has somehow been corrupted by a virus of ordinary common nonsense. Austin ISD would be right-brain dead if it didn't listen to the sounds of the hallways.  If you feed junk-food to the mind, you get the urge for unhealthy substances. Imho, the place to start is dialogue: we, here and everywhere, now and always. 2 Dear Colleague: Glad to know that we agree that the starting point of a conversation is dialogue, but dialogue is not small talk. Rather, it goes back to the ancient Greeks with the Dialogues of Plato, where Exercise and Science and Philosophy would be taken up at the gymnasiums, as part of their daily discussions on matters of common interest to their city-state. Education is half, part of the problem, and half, part of the solution. Education has to be held accountable for its role in the deplorable state of schools regarding substance abuse and dependence on drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Let’s not be so charitable and forgiving, and start calling things by their real name, as we understand them, and not by something that it is not. We as educators should, to the best of our ability, try to solve the problem that our students face in schools. The fear of making a mistake is so overpowering, that we end-up not trying anything at all, forfeiting taking risks and making creative leaps. We need to recognize that by suggesting school activities to our students, we’re combating topical effects, not addressing issuance causes. Back then the ancient Greeks would look at the big-picture view of things, not like we today, parceling things, sweating the small stuff, and losing sight of the ball, the essence. I suppose I am old school, very old school, more like school of antiquity, and more precisely, the archaic, that preceded it. Short-sighted remedies have been tried before, and all have failed. Isn’t it time to use a deep-search approach, to solve it once and for all? The whole, big-picture view of things, comprises the universe of discourse, the surroundings, and the system of interest. This I try to make it my approach to the question that you opportunely place before the faculty of what activities to recommend in addressing the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco in schools. 3 Dear Colleague:
