We can use this life to create a heavenly haven for humans or to stoke up a hell on Earth for each other, that metaphorically and physically, would make global warming look like a thermostat problem. I know which one I'd choose. We must make a choice, or it will be chosen for us. We must stop killing our babies and our brothers, or the future grows infinitely darker for all of us. It is not too late to switch play-books! This is the Superbowl of life, not a practice drill.
Our situation can be resolved with intelligence, compassion and love. You want love don't you? Then give love, give love, give love. Like warm cup of cocoa on a snowy day, it's better when it's shared with a friend.
Today's challenge is about taking our world back, and about rediscovering our innocence, without losing our essence. The future is hidden from the blind-eyes that fail to take notice of the change of season, and yet, it is always in the balance. This world can be a better place for our children. It has to be. That is a fine grandiose idea of course that rolls off of the tongue with ease. How about making it better for us too, starting right now? This is an idea of worth for which to work.
"Gee, but how?" you say.
I am glad you asked.
Dear reader, there is so much to do, but no one to do it for us. Pray, and then pursue your good ideas as the spirit leads you. Do you need help with ideas?
Fortunately, I have compiled just such a worthy list in this very bio, that I know can be accomplished to make this a better life for us all. However, I cannot do it alone. Please, please help me!
To learn about those ideas, which came to me as wisdom from above, read on. I wish to develop and apply them to satiate our hungry human needs of today and to provide a better future for tomorrow. Alas! I am rich in heart and spirit, but disproportionately poor of earthly means and wealth to accomplish these things. I am offering not greed or insanity, but prudence. Rabid madmen having a party at our expense are greed personified, wild-eyed, crazed, and foaming at the mouth. While Wall Street takes our hundreds of billions, our families are put out on the streets homeless, in a spirit of cruelty of epic proportions enough to make the high heavens shake. My angry blood boils over at this outrage to humanity. This insanity of riches must not stand! The power of the people standing together in unison will triumph over such evil, but only if we pray for God's will together and then act on our faith. Crazy? I am not crazy, I just believe. Help me.
Isn't it great to be alive and still living in a free country, where so many have dreamed of being? Let us make our dreams a reality, not theirs.

My Life and Vision for the Future
I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior and am now his disciple, as I seek to live as person who is a responsible citizen of the Earth renewing it and sharing its riches with others daily. I love this planet and its people. I have so much I want to do to make it better for all of us, but I need help. Prayers are welcomed and appreciated. Rest well, then let God lay that on your heart he wants you to do and be. Do it all with faith and without doubt, fear or hesitation, then you will know him and his peace the way I do.
John 3:3 "Jesus replied to him, "Truly, I tell you with certainty, unless a person is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God." NIV

My background consist of a lifetime of study in Astronomy, Electronics, Theoretical Physics, Cosmology, etc, etc, but I was never able to complete my degree in Astronomy at the University of Maryland due to financial shortcomings. This left me in a situation where I was unsure which direction to take, aside from the fact that at my young age, I did not know my life's purpose at that point.
I want to invite you to read my true story, "A Reason for Living" to see how I found that purpose for my life. I also am a man of reason, logic, science and technology, as you may surmise from my bio here. However, I found these things led me to some initially disturbing findings that turned my whole point-of-view completely upside down. I have no reason to embellish or lie. There is too much truth to discover and incorporate into our lives to play games with it. Besides, we only hurt ourselves in doing so. Read it. It is a mind-blowing story! After that, how could I not express myself with these confident, bold statements of truth?
Many of my studies have been self-taught from my home library. I have more books than I could read in a lifetime! After my university dream was pronounced dead, I went home to Georgia and built a homemade radio telescope using Dave Heiserman's wonderful book, "Radio Astronomy for the Amateur," Tab Books/ No. 714, first edition, 1975. I completed it with my own altitude adjustments made by pulling cables through an adjustable boom from the ground. Problems with building a pre-amp for the radio telescope, led me to take vocational technical school courses in Electronics Technology and Communications. I finished my studies there leading to a rewarding career of 16 years in various technical pursuits for the State of Georgia.
I believe I have made a scientific breakthrough, although, I do not have the credentials or high-level mathematics to back it up yet. I have figured out the true nature of time, space, gravity, electromagnetism and matter, and the relationships between them. Newton was on the right track, as well as Einstein, but their work only went so far. Later, some assumptions were made by them and others trying to bridge the gap between theory and reality that complicated things. I offer to remedy some of this. There is a point in Einstein's work where he failed to consider the possibility of a more dynamic universe. This was a fatal shortcoming. He could not complete his work without this understanding of reality. Sensing a genius's uncertainty, the possibilities being vast, he also was uncertain if had reached the finalized version of his equations, often complaining he just did not have enough mathematics to complete the task. Too bad a Newton or Leibniz was not around to create a new Calculus as a tool to enable him to calculate the probabilities better. This hampered his life-long quest for the Holy Grail he sought, the Unified Field Theory of Physics. Many disjointed and competing theories that did not always work well together then came into existence to fill the void. As you know, nature abhors a vacuum, and thus it is in the theoretical world. Even the sanctity of Newton and Einstein in the scientific pantheon, could not prevent the inevitable rise of quantum mechanics to explain reality, in lieu of a more complete and rational model of the universe. This is ironic since Einstein opened the Pandora's Box that allowed it to come into existence, a move he later regretted. Since Newton and Einstein's times, many things they theorized and formalized have tested true and became accepted laws of physics, according to the scale of reality of the problem that they were designed to solve. However, at the extremes and the seams of the sciences, many models and theories tend to fall apart. The result: flawed models that works pretty good in the real world, are then replaced or extended by other flawed models to explain the shortcomings of the first. We are chasing our cosmic tails. The truth eludes us, and like Schrödinger's cat, it has a Cheshire grin.
My present view of the physical universe requires a paradigm shift away from both the old Newtonian view of things and the newer Einsteinian scientific principles. As I implied earlier, their work is foundational and clearly helpful in explaining reality, but sometimes falls short when trying to co-exist with other theories or disciplines that model similar areas of reality. We need new perspectives on the universe and our place and purpose in it. I offer alternative views to these issues in many of my articles here at AD, such as, "New Physics for a Better World." There are some things that slide-rule, calculator, and super-computer cannot fathom. The answers are not always quantifiable by equations of mathematics, but by equations of the heart. My short story, "Metamorphosis," tells this tale, with a caveat for the future. Go to my story link on this page to read it for yourself. It could be visionary.
Extreme hardship presently endured by the author, has allowed only a cursory framework of the most scant theoretical details to emerge. I just do not have the finances to take care of my sick wife and pursue effectively changes in the status quo of science and technology. Many of my theories, I want to use to develop my inventions, so that I may become a technological benefactor to humanity in this critical hour of need. If anyone can contribute financially, through supportive ideas, comments, or otherwise improve the author's circumstances in anyway, he would be grateful to the nth degree. See, I did take some math! You cannot build a radio telescope without trigonometry and algebra! The benefits arising from my planned research, projects and many other ideas can surely improve the lot of mankind.
I have developed ideas concerning inventions for curing cancer and HIV, finding lost children, tornado and hurricane control, lightning capturing, teleportation, spinal cord repair, and mind control to reprogram criminals and terrorists. Do you know of someone who would be interested in the development of one of my projects? Also, I have discovered a home therapy for Myotonic Dystrophy type I, that has helped my wife who has been stricken of this terrible disease for many years, but is still living to the surprise of many. I have searched online and found no link between this therapy and DM. The story of my simple discovery is something I would love to share. However, because I do not have credentials believers are hard to find. Those who help me will reap universal benefits. This is for humanity not inhumanity.
"The Invention of Everything Else", by Samantha Hunt is a fascinating novel with fictional accounts of visionary genius Nikola Tesla's last days. The world needs to know the truth about this "Master of Lightning" and his accomplishments. I personally think he was robbed. Please read my AD title, "Dreaming of Tesla," to see my fantasy of meeting and helping this great man.
Dr. Tesla and I have some interesting things in common. In 2007 I read Margaret Cheney's wonderful book, "Tesla: Man Out of Time". I nearly had a heart attack due to the striking things I read. One of his devices pictured in the book looks just like a drawing I made in 1993 of a high-voltage coil; I designed to be used in an electromagnetic propulsion device. Among the other things that I discovered, was that Tesla's and my views on physics eerily corresponded. I wrote my article "New Physics for a Better World," to highlight this strangeness. J.B.S. Haldane said, "Now, my own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we CAN suppose."
I cannot wait to get started reading my copy of Dr. Ronald L. Mallett's, "Time Traveler". Dr. Mallett, we have much in common. We should meet and trade notes some day. Call me.
Also, check out the book link below to the complete text of "It Happened on a Quiet Cul-de-sac," co-authored here with excellent AD writer Charlie:
I shamelessly self-promote, because I think this a cool story that you have just have to get into and read. Leave us a review of two on your favorite chapters and why, and on the ones we can make it better!
Maybe someday, this will be a published book or a film, and you can say, "Hey that was my idea!"
Wouldn't that be great?
I have learned many things making me believe that my life is tied into a UFO encounter I had. I believe it was meant for me to be there and see it that night. This may sound like pie-in-the-sky thinking, but after many years of investigation and moments of revelation, I am convinced there can be no valid explanation without taking these circumstances and events into account. Please read my article, The Philadelphia Experiment, UFOs, Tesla and Other Strange Things, for more insight into the subject.
One day I am going to fix this Myotonic Dystrophy and get my wife Bridget out of that wheelchair so we can dance again. We need help, really badly. Prayer is wonderful. If you want to do more, our address is listed after this bio below. Any help of any kind would be welcome. We have no pride here. We are talking about a desperate situation, trying to keep her going by myself. I can only afford help for about two hours a day, but she needs my help 24-hours a day. I have been blessed to do this for her, but had to quit my job of 16 years, when the State of Georgia cut off her 24-hour care, and threatened to put her in a nursing home which would cost $350,000 dollars a year, as she is a ventilator patient. The problem is that because her Medicaid would only pay a fraction of that, she had no where to go. They gave her 15-days to make other arrangements. Through the Disability Action Center, a part of Legal Aid in Georgia, we got a hearing with an Administrative law judge to keep 12 hours of care a day to get below the 50,000 dollar a year cap the Federal Government decided to put on her care under the Independent Care Waiver Program, (ICWP). As a result I have been working myself to death for years to keep her alive, because I love her so much. I am the blessed one, because I have the privilege to help her. Sometimes when I think that this is keeping me from my life's work, I realize, that this is why God made me, and all my discoveries and inventiveness aside, that this is my very life's work, and how I almost missed it!
Whenever I start to feel the blues, or feel sorry for myself, I look at Bridget's terrible pain and suffering, her situation in life, and her amazing spirit, and say, "I don't have any problems!" Read my poem, "The Bridge", to see how much I really do love her.
One day she is going to walk once more, and then we can have a party and dance again. Myotonic Dystrophy, type I, you will not win! You are all invited to the party. Bring someone you love and tell them how you feel.
Meanwhile, I hope you will help me in my quest to make this a better world for all of us. Show me that this is all worthwhile and not just a pipe dream. So far, I am beginning to think that I have fallen into a black hole and turned invisible. Please prove me wrong and let me know what you really think. With your help, we can turn these dreams into reality!
I am not crazy, I just believe.
