REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

“Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. The growth of our
powers and the complexity of our affairs leave us no longer the margin of ignorance and stupidity that
once we had. We must either understand the forces that work in the world and master them, or be
mastered and destroyed by them. The alternative to understanding is destruction. The time has come
when ignorance and narrowness of mind can no longer be tolerated; they are no longer merely private
defects, they are public dangers. The fate of mankind lies in the education of its members and in their
ability to communicate and apply the knowledge they possess. Civilization is in a race between
education and catastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as our circumstances
allow. For the truth is the greatest weapon we have.”

H.G. Wells (1920)

“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.”

 

Matthew 24:24

“Doing this, you lose the true tradition and you turn to ideologies to have support. In other words,
ideologies replace faith ... vision of the doctrine of the church as a monolith is wrong. When you
[Christians embracing the opposite values of altruistic Jesus by following the evil values of the world's
greatest Great Deceiver on record] go backward, you make something closed off, disconnected from
the roots of the church.”

Pope Francis (2023)

“The world is in greater peril from those who tolerate or encourage evil than from those who actually
commit it” and “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them
without doing anything.”

Albert Einstein (1946)

“Do not go gentle into that good night, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

Dylan Thomas (1951)

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which deceived the whole world: he was cast out into the Earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

Revelation 12:9, 1611 King James Version (KJV)

Revelation 20:10

“And the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire”

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION PREFACE

 

This book is not about power as domination. It is about power as transformation. It is not about
ideology. It is about structure. It is not an argument for one religion, one political system, or one
philosophy.
It is an exploration of a pattern that appears everywhere — from the birth of the universe to the firing
of a neuron, from the collapse of stars to the rise and fall of civilizations.
That pattern is this, potential under constraint results in pressure resulting in action that changes power.
The quotes at the beginning of this book were organized to illustrate this ubiquitous key law and
process.
Everything that exists participates in this process, from “let there be light” or the beginning of time to
the “end of times”, and we explore the beginning and end of time from biblical and astrophysical
perspectives – which don't have to compete, in fact they don't, two different ways of saying the same
thing – there are constant beginnings and there are constant ends due to infinitely changing power,
potential, and action.
Almost every moment of your life, a new cell in your body is created as another one “dies” to feed new
cells. Moments before your mother's egg received your father's sperm you were two different living
things at the same time, each cell with a drastically different history, about to merge to create a new
history.
Modern physics tells us that the universe began not as solid matter, but as fields — dynamic,
fluctuating, relational.
From symmetry breaking came particles. From particles came atoms. From atoms came stars.
From stars came the elements that form our bodies. From chemistry came cells.
From cells came organisms capable of perception. From perception came memory.
From memory came story. From story came civilization.
The unfolding did not stop. It became self-aware. This book follows that unfolding chronologically.
We begin “in the beginning,” where theology speaks of light and physics speaks of electromagnetic
oscillation. We examine how unified fields differentiated into forces and matter. We explore how
potential energy, under constraint, becomes action — and how action shapes structure.
From cosmology we move to chemistry. From chemistry to biology. From single cells to multicellular
strategy.

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

From the emergence of nervous systems to the hypothalamus — that small but ancient regulator of
hunger, fear, attachment, territory, and status.
We examine how resource perception alters physiology, how scarcity reshapes behavior, and how
internal changes in delta M — shifts in Mass, Metabolism, Motivation, Maslowian resource access, or
Meaning — alter survival strategy.
From there we turn to primates, not to diminish humanity, but to understand it, given we share more
than 98% DNA with EACH the bonobos (the extroverted and emotionally and socially intelligent
lovers during conflict management) and the chimps (the introverted and awkward emotionally and
socially intelligent haters, abusers, and murderers during conflict management).
This book explores many different superimposed chronological understandings of infinitely changing
power, including changing power being changed by built up potentials crossing the thresholds resulting
in actions changing local finite changing power, which create and fall empires.
And so we examine hierarchy and cooperation, chimpanzee and bonobo dynamics, dominance and
bonding, and the evolutionary roots of what later becomes empire, cult, and asset accumulation.
We analyze how power concentrates, how it is sacralized in imperial cults, cults of personality,
organizations, government, and in group dynamics, and we examine how this power fragments, and
how it can be shared for the common good.
We then examine philosophies — the invisible architectures through which individuals assign value to
change. Moral systems, economic systems, religious systems, technological systems — each is a lens
for interpreting potential and directing action.
We explore moral relativism and truth from the perspective that it is both true and false that it is good
and it is evil, when one thing kills or exploits another thing to benefit, and “so what is true and what is
false, and what is good and what is evil?” asked Nietzsche of anything.
Finally, we return to physics.
To the languages of field theory, relativity, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics — not as
abstractions, but as tools for understanding change itself. We ask whether the same structural principles
governing galaxies also govern human decision-making. We explore how different mathematical
languages describe infinitely changing power in complementary ways.
Throughout, one theme persists:
Nothing is static.

5

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Not stars.
Not species.
Not civilizations.
Not identity.
Power is not something we possess.
It is something we participate in.
Action is not inherently violent.
It is energy crossing threshold.
Potential is not destiny.
It is stored possibility awaiting condition.
Infinite change is not chaos.
It is structured transformation within constraint.
This book does not attempt to eliminate difference.
Differentiation is necessary for structure.
But it does argue that beneath fragmentation lies continuity. That beneath polarization lies shared
origin. That beneath competition lies shared thermodynamic dependence.
We are not separate from the beginning of the universe.
We are expressions of it.
The calcium in our bones was forged in stars.
The electrical activity in our brains follows Maxwell’s equations.
The curvature that guides planetary motion guides light around galaxies.
Creation is not past tense.
It is ongoing.
And we are inside it.

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

If we understand this — if we understand that power is transformation, that action follows structure,
and that potential is relational — then our approach to civilization changes. Scarcity becomes a
physiological state, not a moral indictment. Conflict becomes structural, not mystical. Cooperation
becomes adaptive, not naïve.
We can move from divide-and-conquer narratives toward indivisible understanding.
This is not a call to abandon rigor.
It is a call to deepen it.
Not a call to reject faith.
But to examine it alongside physics.
Not a call to surrender identity.
But to situate it within continuity.
The universe began as potential.
It differentiated into power.
It expressed itself through action.
It continues to change.
This book is an attempt to follow that change — from the first light to the languages that now describe
it.
And to ask:
If everything is infinitely changing power, what does it mean to be human within it?
The chapters that follow are not separate arguments.
They are superimposable perspectives on one process.
From field to atom.
From atom to cell.
From cell to organism.
From organism to culture.
From culture to philosophy.

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

From philosophy back to field.
One unfolding.
One continuity.
Infinitely changing power.
Emerging from its potential power.
Potential power under constraint.
Potential power under constraint building pressure to an action threshold.
Constrained potential pressure is released with sufficient pressure.
Sufficient pressure results in action that changes power.
Repeat continuously.

CHAPTER 1

 

IN THE BEGINNING: PHILOSOPHIES ON INFINITELY CHANGING POWER

 

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth… And God said, Let there be light.”
Every civilization begins its explanation of existence with movement.
Not stillness. Not permanence. Movement.
In theological language, the universe begins with speech — an act.
In physics, the universe begins with expansion — an action.
In mathematics, it begins with a boundary condition — a constraint.
Different vocabularies. Same pattern.
There was no static origin.
There was release.
The event called the Big Bang and “creation” was not an explosion in space. It was the rapid expansion
of space itself from an extremely hot, dense state approximately 13.8 billion years ago.
Time and space emerged together.
There was no “before”, but t=0 instead.
Creation was not construction after “Let there be light” or the Big Bang.
It was transformation of no time and no space into the first spacetime coordinates greater than 0.
M = spacetime manifold = 4 coordinates = time (t), horizontal (x), vertical (y), and depth (z).
M = (t (time), x (left to right), y (up and down), z (depth)) = Coordinates of the Spacetime Manifold.
At t=0 before the Big Bang M = (0,0,0,0), but after the Big Bang M = (t>0, x>0, y>0, z>0)
And that transformation continues. Your whole lifespan is an M numbers set, and your mother's and
father's eggs and sperm each had their own set of M numbers.

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Density diverged.
Curvature diverged.
General relativity explains that we come from, are a part of, and return to infinitely changing power,
and so not different than how good people of faith describe God, all powerful, from which they come
from, are a part of, and return to. Everybody agrees we come from infinitely changing power.

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

This is not reality failing.
It is mathematics and cognitive overload reaching a limit.
When the momentum of a particle = 0, E=mc2, is the rest energy of the particle.
A particle again is a disturbance in one of the 17 different types of fields of energy-power, and so 17
different disturbances are required at the same time across 17 different energy-power fields, for a
hydrogen atom to decay.
The disturbance in a field when it reaches the potential threshold becomes a particle.
E=mc2
is the rest energy of the particle.
K≈p2/2m is the kinetic energy of the particle.
Energy differentiates from 1 field of energy and power to 17 fields of energy after the Big Bang.
Fields fluctuate, and one of the 17 fields is light.
Structure begins.
The universe did not begin with objects.
It began with potential.
In physics, potential energy (V) is stored capacity for transformation under constraint.
Potential is not mystical.
It is positioned possibility, like a marble at the top of the stairs.

 

11

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

At extreme temperatures, distinctions between forces collapse.
As expansion cools the system, symmetry breaks.
Unity differentiates into multiplicity, resulting in the field of light being parsed out of the electroweak
trifecta (light field + gluon field + weak nuclear field).
Creation, then, is not static design.
It is symmetry breaking.
It is structured change emerging from unified potential.
Modern physics describes approximately 17 fundamental quantum fields.
Each field permeates all space.
Each field can be excited.
Each excitation is what we call a particle.
An electron is not a tiny object.
It is a vibration in the electron field.
A quark is a vibration in a quark field.
Field first.
Particle second.
Process first.
Object second.
The Higgs field and holy spirit(s) permeate space.
Interaction with it/them gives certain particles mass, and is literally what makes matter.
The Higgs field is literally what make you matter.
Mass is not inserted.
It emerges from relationship.

 

12

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Interaction defines identity.
Matter is not primary.
Field is primary.
This reframes power.
Power is not domination.
Power is rate of transformation.
In physics:
Power = Energy / Time
Power measures how quickly change unfolds under constraint.
Energy transforms.
But beneath energy lies something more foundational: action.
The principle of least action states that physical systems evolve along paths that make action stationary.
Action is defined:
S = ∫ L dt (the L here is energy, which everyone calculates for each of the different energy fields that
make all the forces and matter particles, which are actually waves of energy and not some hard thing.
Why the waves of energy seem hard is that they are composes of like charged particles which repulse
one another, the 12 fermions, or 12 half-spinner particles, 6 quarks/protons/neutrons inside the atom,
and 6 leptons/electrons outside the atom, each particle on its own field at the same spacetime
coordinates.
And so for a hydrogen or other atom to exist, or for them to create another type of atom, almost all of
the 17 different fields of energy at every point in space would need to develop 17 particles at the same
point in space, for me to have what one would refer to as a hydrogen atom, and which would like
occupy more than one single coordinate in spacetime than a single coordinate, and if I had two of them,
and merged their waves of energy together, then a helium atom would form, all the way up to iron and
gold and heavier elements, which are simply more points in spacetime where the point of energy at the
point in spacetime has received enough system energy to form and maintain 17 different particles at the
same time in order to sustain atoms.

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Where S is action, L is the Lagrangian (Energy), and t is time, different than T for kinetic energy below.
For many systems:
L = T − V
T is kinetic energy.
V is potential energy.
The universe does not wander randomly.
It follows trajectories where δS = 0.
Small variations do not reduce action further.
Imagine a basket ball that rolls into a hole in the ground.
Slightly moving the ball in any direction doesn't change its position much.
It follows trajectories where δS = 0.
Change follows structure.
This principle underlies classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum field theory, and general
relativity.
Creation is not chaos.
It is structured transformation under constraint.
The phrase “Let there be light” resonates unexpectedly with physics.
Light is electromagnetic radiation — oscillation in the electromagnetic field.
James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity and magnetism into four equations:
∇ · E = ρ / ε₀
∇ · B = 0
∇ × E = −∂B/∂t
∇ × B = μ₀J + μ₀ε₀ ∂E/∂t
These equations show that electric and magnetic fields generate one another.
When charges and currents vanish, they reduce to wave equations.

 

14

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Light is self-propagating field motion.
It requires no medium.
It is oscillation sustained by relational structure.
In cosmology, photons decoupled from plasma roughly 380,000 years after expansion began.
Transparency emerged.
Illumination became possible.
Light is differentiation made visible.
Before photons traveled freely, the universe was opaque plasma.
Particles scattered radiation continuously.
Only after cooling allowed electrons to bind with nuclei could light propagate.
This relic radiation remains detectable as the cosmic microwave background.
The beginning was not a single moment.
It was a transition.
Transition implies threshold.
Threshold implies accumulation.
In neuroscience, an action potential fires only after voltage crosses a boundary.
Compression.
Instability.
Release.
The early universe mirrors this pattern.
Pressure built within unified energy density.
Expansion crossed a threshold.
Differentiation followed.

 

15

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

This pattern repeats across scales.
Tectonic plates accumulate stress.
Markets accumulate imbalance.
Minds accumulate tension.
Then transformation propagates.
Change accumulates silently before becoming visible.
Einstein’s field equations formalize how energy shapes spacetime:
Gμν = (8πG / c⁴) Tμν
Here Gμν represents spacetime curvature.
Tμν represents energy-momentum distribution.
Mass-energy tells spacetime how to curve.
Curved spacetime tells mass-energy how to move.
Gravity is not a pulling force in this language.
It is geometry.
Structure governs trajectory.
Power is embedded in relational curvature.
Nothing stands outside it.
If theological language describes an omnipresent sustaining force, field theory provides an unexpected
parallel.
A field permeates space.
It is continuous.
Particles are localized excitations.
Separation appears real at small scale.

 

16

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Continuity remains real at foundational scale.
Unity persists beneath apparent division.
At Planck scales, quantum fluctuations dominate.
Virtual particle pairs appear and vanish within limits permitted by uncertainty.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle states:
Δx · Δp ≥ ħ / 2
Δx is uncertainty in position.
Δp is uncertainty in momentum.
ħ is the reduced Planck constant.
Uncertainty is structural, not ignorance.
Reality at fundamental scale is probabilistic (statistics-based).
Potential energy defines possibility space.
Outcome is constrained but not predetermined.
Infinite change does not mean chaos.
It means transformation within boundary conditions.
The universe is not sculpture.
It is process.
Fields oscillate.
Mass condenses.
Geometry bends.
Time advances.
Action resolves.

 

17

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Potential redistributes.
And redistribution never fully stops.
Entropy describes directional tendency within transformation.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy in an isolated system tends to increase.
Yet local decreases in entropy are permitted when energy flows through constraint.
Stars radiate energy.
Planets receive energy.
Life organizes gradients.
Global disorder increases.
Local complexity emerges.
This is not contradiction.
It is hierarchy.
Order can arise within broader disorder if energy throughput persists.
The early universe did not impose order onto chaos.
It unfolded potential under constraint.
Energy gradients (waves) allowed structure (shapes of sand on the beach or shapes of ice crystals in the
clouds).
Structure allowed atoms.
Atoms allowed chemistry.
Chemistry allowed life.
Life allowed awareness after “Let there be light” of the Big Bang parallel philosophy.
Infinite change is not destructive by definition.
It is generative when energy flows through boundary.

 

18

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

If the universe began as unified potential and differentiated through symmetry breaking, then reality is
layered excitation.
We experience objects.
Physics describes interactions.
At sufficient depth, there are no solid objects.
There are fields.
Quantum field theory describes particles as quantized vibrations in underlying fields.
The electron field exists everywhere.
A specific vibration in that field manifests as an electron.
Field first.
Particle second.
Process first.
Object second.
The vacuum itself is not empty.
Zero-point energy fluctuates.
Virtual particles emerge briefly.
Nothing is static.
Stability is temporary equilibrium within motion.
Infinite change is foundational.
Stillness is appearance relative to scale.
The hierarchy of physical language reflects increasing resolution.
Classical mechanics describes macroscopic motion.
Electromagnetism describes charged interaction.

 

19

 

REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION

 

Quantum mechanics describes probability amplitudes.
Quantum field theory describes interacting fields.
General relativity describes curved spacetime.
Each language expands rather than replaces previous descriptions.
Water appears smooth at distance.
Up close it is molecular.
Closer still it is atomic.
Closer still it is field excitation.
Infinite change appears differently at different scales.
At cosmological scale, expansion dominates.
At stellar scale, fusion dominates.
At biological scale, metabolism dominates.
At psychological scale, perception dominates.
Yet the structural rule persists:
Energy under constraint transforms.
Consider again the Lagrangian:
L = T − V
T represents kinetic energy.
V represents potential energy.
Every system balances motion and stored possibility.
Excess motion without constraint disperses.
Excess potential without release destabilizes.
The early universe contained extreme kinetic intensity and extreme potential density.

Hydrogen clouds condensed under curvature.
Fusion ignited.
Stars formed.
Creation proceeds through successive equilibria.
Infinite change expresses itself through layered stabilization.
Symmetry breaking marks pivotal transitions.
At sufficiently high temperatures, forces may have been unified.
Cooling below thresholds separated interactions, with Higgs, Top Quark, and Tau emerging as
energetic moms able to collectively decay into almost every other field and particle, multitaskers.
Electroweak symmetry breaking differentiated electromagnetic and weak forces.
The Higgs field acquired a non-zero vacuum expectation value.
Particles interacting with the Higgs field gained mass.

Relativity binds time and space together.
The invariant interval in flat spacetime is written in a manner that mirrors our M spacetime:
ds² = −c²dt² (time term) + dx² (horizontal term) + dy² (vertical term) + dz² (depth term)
This equation encodes geometry.
Time and space are not independent backgrounds.
They are coordinates within dynamic structure.
The speed of light, c, remains constant for all observers.
This constancy produces time dilation and length contraction.
Change in time and change in space combine to preserve invariant structure.
Even here, change is foundational.
Without temporal progression, no transformation occurs.
Without spatial extension, no differentiation exists.
Existence requires variation.
Variation requires structure.

 

22

ACCESS TO MASLOW'S NEEDS MAPPED ONTO THE HYPOTHALAMUS = GOOD OR EVIL
“There is nothing very odd about lambs disliking birds of prey, but this is no reason for holding it
against large birds of prey that they carry off lambs. And when the lambs whisper among themselves,
"These birds of prey are evil, and does this not give us a right to say that whatever is the opposite of a
bird of prey must be good," there is nothing intrinsically wrong with such an argument-though the birds
of prey will look somewhat quizzically and say, We have nothing against these good lambs; in fact, we
love them; nothing tastes better than a tender lamb.” Friedrich Nietzsche

PRIMATE POWER: HIERACHY, COOPERATION, AND DARK TRIADS
“The primate mind is not evil. It is adaptive under perceived scarcity.”
Before empire, before kings, before written law, there were primates.
Before ideology, there was hierarchy.
Before philosophy, there was food distribution.
Primate power did not begin with cruelty. It began with survival.
In forests of fluctuating abundance, groups that coordinated survived.
Groups that failed to coordinate fractured.
Coordination required structure.
Structure required signaling.
Signaling required recognition of rank.
Rank emerged from repeated contests over access.
Access to food.
Access to mates.
Access to territory.
Access to safety.
Power in primates is not abstract.
It is resource mediation.
When resources appear scarce, hierarchy tightens.
When resources appear abundant, hierarchy softens.

Chimpanzees organize around dominance hierarchies.
Bonobos organize around affiliative coalitions.
Both are primates.
Both share over ninety-eight percent DNA similarity with humans.
The difference is not species intelligence.
It is environmental pressure.
Where food is clumped and defensible, competition intensifies.
Where food is dispersed and abundant, sharing stabilizes groups.
Ecology shapes social structure.
Structure shapes action.
Action shapes perceived power.
In chimp societies, alpha males maintain rank through displays, intimidation, and strategic alliances.
In bonobo societies, female coalitions moderate aggression through bonding and sexual diplomacy.
Neither system is morally superior in isolation.
Both are adaptive responses to fluctuating resource landscapes.
Infinite environmental change selects behavioral flexibility.

CHAPTER 7
CULTS, EMPIRES, EPSTEIN CLASS, AND ASSET POWER STRUCTURES
“That lambs dislike great birds of prey does not seem strange; only it gives no ground for reproaching
these birds of prey for taking the little lambs. And when the lambs say among themselves, “These birds
of prey are evil; and whoever is least like a bird of prey, but rather its opposite, a lamb — would he not
be good?” there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the establishment of this ideal, except perhaps that
the birds of prey might look at it a little ironically and say: “We don’t dislike them at all, these good
lambs; in fact, we love them: nothing is tastier than a tender lamb.””
Friedrich Nietzsche, 1887
Cults begin with concentrated meaning.
Meaning becomes loyalty.
Loyalty becomes structure.
Structure becomes power.
Power, when sacralized, resists redistribution.
An imperial cult does not begin with cruelty.

CHAPTER 8
PHILOSOPHIES, MORAL RELATIVITY, AND TECHNICAL POTENTIAL
“Every philosophy is a survival strategy disguised as truth.”
Philosophy emerges when organisms capable of abstraction confront uncertainty.
Uncertainty is perceived change.
Change triggers evaluation.
Evaluation assigns value.
Value directs action.
Action redistributes power.
Thus philosophy is not decoration.
It is navigational code.
Infinite change generates competing interpretations.
Some interpretations emphasize stability.
Others emphasize disruption.
Some elevate hierarchy.
Others elevate equality.
Each reflects perceived resource conditions.
When scarcity dominates perception, philosophies justify control.
When abundance dominates perception, philosophies justify sharing.
Moral systems are adaptive maps.
They signal which actions preserve group survival under prevailing constraints.
No philosophy floats above biology.
229
REVELATION: INFINITELY CHANGING POWER, POTENTIAL, AND ACTION
Each is rooted in perception of potential gain or loss.
Moral relativism does not mean moral chaos.
It means moral frameworks arise within context.
Context includes environment, resource distribution, and perceived threat.
Infinite change alters context.
Altered context reshapes moral emphasis.
A desert tribe values water discipline.
A coastal civilization values trade navigation.
A starving population justifies seizure.
A satiated population justifies tolerance.
Power influences which moral system prevails.
Prevailing systems encode dominant survival strategy.
Action then reinforces that system.
Feedback stabilizes ideology.
But stability is temporary.

held accountable for the world's oldest and richest ongoing organized crime syndicate, from the forged
royal claims of the Habsburgs to the Habsburg's international treasonous child sex trafficking ring
turned world's police of Jeffrey Epstein's crime syndicate 2013 to the modern day, with their alpha
chimps running around looking for bribes and touching like jungle savages, with his pretty little pants
on fire, pure hell coming out of his mouth at all times, always waving his curiously small hands dressed
like a kids coloring box, the basic set, with someone having colored his face and hair in order to make
him look like someone set him on fire, while literally holding the record for most lies told, the Great
Deceiver, seeking to bring the end of times if you don't furiously believe his real legal problems are
your fake end of the world problems. And with the release of the Epstein Files, potential restrained to
the point that sufficient pressure resulted in the action that changed power, whereafter the Great
Deceiver was felled by our mighty heroes and then cast out along with his minions into a lake of fire.
Sufficient pressure results in threshold action to change power, like Alice in Wonderland,
“The Sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might. He did his very best to make the billows
smooth and bright. And this was odd, because it was the middle of the night.”
And so after “Let there be light” – and the Big Bang's potential released as action changing power –
1/17 fields became a light field, creating light particles, which then split white light into the first
rainbow per generally accepted accounting principles for universal power, supra and infra.
