The wall built by Dhul Qarnain to stop Gog and Magog has also be described/translated as a “dam.” And we know stopping water is to stop them from traveling through dimensions.

More about Gog and Magog who came because removal of those ‘dams’ built by Gog and Magog was a sign of the end times: http://www.ummah.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-84760.html 

When the Europeans started invading the whole world — some centuries back — and they caused great havoc on those lands — Gog and Magog were working on earth full-time. Nobody would oppose invasion if invaders are good people who mean well. But, Europe and America have only caused destruction in places they occupied. Mass killing is always on their agenda.

Still, evil Djinns occupy all corners of the world. They live among people of color as well. The presence of Gog and Magog and their Dajjal governance ensures that evil is granted protection while good is opposed everywhere.

There was a recent change to Planeshift’s crafting system. It received criticism from a portion the playerbase, largely those players felt that it added too much realism at the expense of fun. This is a common complaint and it is certainly understandable. Anyone who has ever grappled with the grappling mechanics in 3rd edition D&D understands this. Longtime MMO designers, such as Brian Green and Damian Schubert regard realism as a false god; one that gets in the way of gameplay.

What exactly is the problem with realism?

One of the delightful things about the old first edition AD&D was the smorgasboard of detailed, realistic special case rules for everything from loot in NPC pouches to detailed (and graphic) critical hit and critical miss tables that took seemingly everything into account. Rolling critical hits using the optional rules from Dragon Magazine was a mini-game in itself. Half of the Dungeon Master’s guide and almost all of the later rulebooks from the Fiend Folio onwards were an anthology of these special case rules. AD&D was in the tradition of the fantasy literature of Doyle and Tolkien. It had started as a game and had layer after layer of realism added and nurtured my simulationist, world building urges. It also had no sense of balance; that word that seems so important today. Viewed strictly through the game prism, AD&D was a horrible hodpodge. 2nd edition AD&D was the first attempt to simplify this multi-headed hydra, but it was not until the 3rd edition that D&D’s tyranny of special cases was substantially contained and even then – as with the grappling rules – this was not entirely so.

The problem with realism is the same problem that 1E had. In 1628, the Swedish navy’s newest warship set out on its maiden voyage. The Vasa was the king’s pride and one of the finest warships in the world; for about an hour. As it sailed out of port, it capsized and sank. It was recovered and restored during the 20th century and is now a museum exhibit in Stockholm. The reason it sank is that King Gustavus Adolphus insisted on putting more cannon on it than it was designed for, making it top heavy. Building lots of special case rules on top of a game is like building a top heavy ship.

Most modern persistent worlds are viewed as games rather than places. The exceptions are the social worlds such as Second Life; which follow in the footsteps of the MOOs of yore. A thematic adventure world that is a place first and a game second goes against the grain. This was not always so. Twenty years ago, most worlds billed themselves as simulations. In my lightweight rulesets post a few months ago, I suggested using physics theory and a lightweight ruleset instead of a heavyweight ruleset. The universe as we know it arises from a handful of rules. If you look at a ball game, such as tennis, something comes to light. The rules of the game define the boundaries of what good play is. The rules never define that a level 60 tennis player has a 95% chance of putting the ball on path X and that a level 55 player has a 80% chance of playing off of it. Newtonian mechanics defines how the ball behaves. The player simply chooses how he hits it and the designer simply defines the dimensions of the court and the scoring system. Unfortunately, most PW designers – as is most of the population in general – are woefully scientifically illiterate. Most people regards science – and physics theory in particular – as “complicated”; failing to understand that science – and physics theory in particular – is all about simplification. Because of this perception of complexity, when most designers do create realism rules, they invariably make them overcomplicated; and end up creating a Vasa.

The purpose of this post is to introduce a new series on building the physics theory which designers would then build the “rules” on top of. It is named in honor of the term CS Lewis used in the Narnia Series. Naturally, these will be lightweight rules and naturally, this series will have a simulationist rather than gamist bent. If you are a “game” designer first and foremost and enjoy the game design challenges that Dan Cook and Brian Green like to post on their blogs, then this series is probably not for you. If a framework where you can water down the wine for a little extra profit at a fool’s expense, tinker with the balance on your sword to bet match it to your swing style, smell the campfire, and feel the drizzle on your skin as you see the ruins through the mist sounds interesting to you, then this series is for you.

For the past month I’ve been working on a project and looking to switch careers, as I have found dealing with the youth of tomorrow is better left to those that are qualified. I have always been a laid back kinda fellow, who does not handle opposition and stress very well, which meant over the past year I dealt with trying to teach students that just don’t care about mathematics, or care about school in general, who would constantly test every last nerve I had, the stress was overwhelming. There is no more difficult job than trying to motivate the unmotivated, than trying to keep in line those god(s) damned kids. Now before you start talking about how I need to grow up, or comment about what a pathetic fool I am, you should understand that where I’m coming from. As I was saying, I do not handle the difficulties associated with conflict, but I have learned a lot about myself and about life in general. I think that my generation are part of strange influx, perhaps the turning point, but we’re the sort of lost generation I feel at times. From my limited world view, I think we’re like the current generation in that we expect the world handed to us on a platter, but fail to work for such rewards. We want everything to be instantaneous, and if there is any difficulty in obtaining our ends, we just move on. On the flip side, we seem to be doing some interesting things, and (like me) we’re still waiting for that “dare to be great situation.” Funny how that seems to be just around the corner, but never seems to arrive or we just seem to not be paying attention. Back to my main point, I pushed myself, as part of growing up I suppose, but I needed to finish the job, which I did, and now with the imminent threat of returning, I feel the need to run into a different area. Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of teaching, I love students who are curious about the world and want to know, I love that the large majority of my students were good kids, but those few motherfuckers really ruin it for all. So, yes I’m a bastard, chicken shit who becomes so damn infuriated at the thought of having to go back, but shit happens and I suppose I should brace for the fact that in a month I’ll probably be heading back into battle. The biggest bitch of the whole thing is that I have a degree in applied mathematics and advanced physics theory, I have practical real world experience in both subjects, I have almost completed a master’s in applied mathematics and I am a huge geek, I want to share this knowledge, I want to depart what little I know to anyone willing to listen, but I can’t force anyone to give a shit. Sometimes I sit here and think, WTF, why did I spend so much time and energy learning this shit, when dumb ass motherfuckers are making mad cash, don’t have the crazy bills that I have, seem to be able to handle this shit pot called life, and I’m stuck here dreading every day, where photography, the inter-tubes, and running are the only avenues where I feel the world hasn’t gone to hell. I think the worst part of all is that for the past three years I’ve been in a bad mood, a negative attitude pervades my everyday existence, and I keep thinking that I’m a happy person, that I’m just going through a phase, but that phase has been a tenth of my total life, that’s not a phase, what ever this is, it is something deeper. So here I struggle, here I sit with thoughts of where I would like to, thoughts of who I would like to become and a dread of tomorrow getting here. If, by some strange alignment of the planet bullshit, I managed to get this new job, will it make a difference? I suppose it will, since the stress will be directed at me, where I am accountable for the work, and I don’t have to produce an effect in others, I will only be affecting my personal performance. That all aside, I have been in a photography slump the past couple of months, but I feel a new stirring to do something more, I have a desire to improve my composition and understanding of light in photography, so I’ve been on an adventure to capture those concepts. On 6 July 09, I went out for a drive in the country, with constant thoughts about the rules of landscape photography I was trying to emulate, repeating to myself the dozen of so things that I wanted to try. I recently went through a camera change desire and this weird blurb, but I’m back and happy to be where I am in that regard. I figure I have three years, three years to be where I dream of being, three years to learn and not change anything about possessions and life direction, an allusion I have posted before, but state again here. So as part of the effort, for the past almost two months I wanted to blog once a week as a venting mechanism, not hiding behind anything, this incoherent rant is the process of flowing thought. I also have a limited photostream on flickr, which I don’t want to go pro because I am so limited with my free account, that it really constrains me, which is something I need to learn. I also need to develop a more accurate work flow, and the patience not to go shooting, run back and spend way too much time editing photos that are crap. The same posting structure I’m developing here, I would like to develop in greater accuracy there. So this last bit is all about photography, work flow, and my constant need to change my digital life for some strange reason it is so hard for me to keep anything permanent on line. So I am trying so hard to keep this blog up and running for at least the amount of time mentioned above, along with all other accounts tied into this name. Well, there is much more, but I have to get to work momentarily so I’ll digress and wish you the very best, especially if you wasted your time reading this crap. Have a great week, and I’ll be back next week with more useless ramblings.

PS The photo linked with this file turned out to be my favorite from yesterday’s effort, and the idea stemmed from the cover of a digital photography book on BW photos. I loved the image and wanted to see if I could reproduce it, though not exact, I was quite pleased by the effort.

physics theory yesterday morning went a little bit like this:

Professor (abreviated): Infinite square well…finite square well…dirac function…fourier…

Me (in my head): I wonder what’s happening in the Tour de France. I bet they caught that breakaway. I wish I was at the Tour de France right now.

Professor: step potiential… transmission…e to the i k….

Me (in my head): why am I not at the Tour de France right now? what am I doing here? I want to leave. I should just leave. why am I studying physics theory again? Oh my god I am being sucked into the vortex of the boring and unadventurous dulldrums of the rest of my life. I wish I was studying literature or something else equally useless but infinitely easier. But I must bear my own cross. So this is how it gonna be, huh? Cruxifiction by science. Alright, better try to pay attention.

Professor: (pointing) so does anyone know what that expression is? Anyone?

silence.

Me: I think I know, it is the energy of the ground state of a finite square well. But I don’t want to say it. No one wants to say it because we all want to be at the Tour de France right now. Tomorrow’s the TTT…dang! Pay attention Arielle!

Professor: particle…v-not…h-bar…energy

Me: (singing in me head) Do you hear the people sing!? Singing the song of Angry men?! This is the Music of a people… (singing ends) I wish I was part of a student revolution against a corrupt government intertwined with fantastic stories about injustice, the everlasting power of true love. sigh.

I think I really must be at least partially a lost cause as a physicist. Oh Science, you can take my mind and body, but you can’t take my heart!

There’s something about modern physics theory, especially quantum mechanics, which attracts magical thinking. Perhaps this isn’t surprising. Someone once said that because quantum mechanics is so counter-intuitive, because no one really understands it, it’s easy to fall into the trap of using it to “explain” anything else we don’t understand. Consciousness is a prime example.

Let’s understand the simultaneously born mind.
Crowley was the conduit, that is he never realized the law that would
manifest his angel of light. Einstein who took a walk up the garden path, did. The point
is that men now bow down to the lesser light. It is why men fear other men getting their
hands on nuclear power. This is because men do not realize that the point of origin and
the point of annihliation are the same point. this would totally negate the power of
the lesser light. something that needs to manifest itself in the here and now.

Crowley used the rite of the dark mother, (his wife took on the personna of Aiwass,
and the book was dictated to him through her. He used dark magick. What he did
after was to study the book the rest of his life. this angel of light came to position
himself over mankind, it is exactly why Crowley wrote the Equinox of the gods.
Crowley was not a hippie, he went to extremes, he ate his own feces, he re ate his vomit, and
made himself enjoy it. He was putting everything in reverse. If you had read Crowley
you would understand why he did what he did and what his true motives were. Crowley
would laugh that you called him a hippie. He was far from a peace, dove, victory sign
child of love. He put everthing in reverse. I can see why everyone lives in such
darkness. But the darkest hour is just before dawn. Crowley put everything in reverse to go against love, to go against the natural order. To go against I
shall be that which I shall be.

Now crowley understood it was a lesser light and not the light of love. The light of
will is the lesser light. Love under will is subverting will under love. He purposely did
the reverse. Remember he was extracting this light from the abyss and as such he
was using Abara ha adabara, he had reversed the verbal usage, and he reversed
the word, he inverted purposely inverted it to extract the light that was brought to
a standstill. And in order to extract the light from carbon consciousness he needed to
reverse the law of light into matter. When he acheived this the angel of this light
manifested, and manifested in the physical as everything does as a law. E =mc squared.
Another mind was able to recognize the physical law in that way.

all of you people are to understand the spirit?? This angel of light manifested
itself as E=mc squared, the proof was in the Tungooska event. I have already explained
all of this.

The point of all of this is to conquer the limit we call death. Men now bow down to
this lesser light. Crowley was into metaphysics theory, and by the verbal anouncement as I speak
I create, he loosed this angel of a lesser light. He himself did not recognize the
manifestation, if he had, he himself would have brought forth the theory of relativity. Most avatars or men of great spirit manifest the law that they bring
forth by the word of their own mouth. Crowley was the beast, he was the ignorant
servant, who helped bring about the recognition of a law that manifested after he
had opened the door and called it forth, giving credence to it by respectfully
calling the angel by it’s proper name.

so now we come to simultaneously borne mind. Einstein had been working on his thesis
and he was sweeping the floor when he had an epiphany. In fact in his autobiography, he states
quite seriously that he had an epiphany, the likes of which he would never have again.
This was not the immaculate concept. Never the less the law that divides, (the 72 names
of god) pillar of fire in Exodus, that separated the israelites from the egyptians is what
solomon used to bound this angel of the lesser light in the second heaven. Crowley
reversed the process. What he found was the key, he took the caph from the qoph and
replaced it with the Heh. He found the key to unlock the chains that had bound satan in the second heaven.

Fear is the key, fear seems to stop everyone from looking in the right direction. It’s simple
enough to find. All of the mechanics were in place thanks to Newton. Crowley need only
reverse them. There is a correlation between what Crowley did and
what Einstein did. In fact they were both giving and receiving at the exact moment. A
split second in time. And once crowley wrote down all of the semantics and Einstein wrote
his special theory of relativity, it was now a written word. And then we have the mushroom
cloud on June 30, 1908 at exact 7:17 am. The actual physical manifestation of a angel of the lesser light as a law, thought of, spoken of, and now seen.
Thought word deed, the act of creation.

I really don’t have to go through it all again. No one here can refute it. You might call me
crazy but I understand it totally. Irrefuteably. The angel of the lesser light was bound
hand and foot in the second heaven, we like to call it the land of the dead or the
bardo state. This was his domain, so he had to keep the idea or belief of the limit of death
among the sons of the earth. Now he can only bring all matter back to it’s point of origin,
which he would rather call the point of annihilation.

Crowley went in reverse. No wonder most of the entities in this world know nothing but the sides of the pit. He put everything in reverse. Up until this point, the
occult had made very little headway. That’s why those who think they are the head
(ainsoph) are truly the tail. At least Crowley had an understanding of what he was trying
to do. He was trying to commune with an angel, and he knew it was not god. And
when he put everything in reverse, so did einstein. After all creation is taking light and
bringing it to a standstill, aka matter. So while Crowley reversed the heavenly plane to unlock the door to the abyss,
Einstein seen it manifest on the physical. The release of this lesser light changed
human history, but we do not have to bow down to this light. It has made every man
on earth fear the limit of death. And that is exactly what satan wants, he wants everyone
to believe in the limit of death. So how do you destroy the power of death?? Death
only gets it’s power from your own individual belief in it. Satan ruled over the
bardo state, or the state we call death for a thousand years, bound hand and foot
he know the light of death. He has brought it back with him, to swallow up
everyone, and enslave them in his light.

Houdini understood that men would be put in an untenable position. He was one of the
greatest escape artists that ever lived. He escaped many different self imposed prisons,
because the name of god is (I shall be that which I shall be) the correct interpretation
being “I can live through this experience.” And the whole scope of the lesser light is
total destruction. Not just death, but annihilation. How to overcome the point of
annihilation?? Understand that the point of origin is the point of annihilation

Love is greater than will, because love allows all of nature to prosper. Will
dictates it therefore continually usurps and destroys. Because of Will over
love, the womb can not produce unconditionally. The womb when allowed to produce
freely and uncondtionally becomes the Holy Shekinah or the presences of God on
earth. Bringing forth as the uncondtional womb, the holy Shekinah does not
point in the direction “Why not that?” it creates from all directions at once
as the random equation of natural selection. This is was and always will be
the immaculate concept.
