LETTERS TO THE CREATOR

                                                                                                              The earth of men,
                                                                                                              Solar and lunar sphere,
                                                                                                              The galaxy: Milky Way.

Immortal maker,

*           My dawn is done; my song is sung; my pen is set to write. at the end, I will put my seal, enclose its edge and send to the realms where letters have never reached. In the beginning, you were; after the end, you will be. My heart this moment ascends to your throne, immortal owner of the cosmos and of humankind; the one who sends breathe to nostrils, who puts coats upon souls, who makes matter out of mind, and mind out of nothing. May the echoes of my little voice persist for endless ages.
 *         I have disclosed to souls, so much about you; my hands have filled my books with your name. For this, I am asked several questions. The man of thought has sent his thought to work, the man of science has sent his tools to work, the skeptic has lifted his doubt. The world seeks you, not to know, but to neglect, to verify your existence. Your name they have put to scorn; your word, to the forbidden forests; My soul marvels at this folly.
*          My fellow specie have raised rakes and riffles, they do this under the mask of names and isms. they are set to fight--against you or your humble sons.  Their names I would mention, but my ink is too limited to write them all. Like nationalists casting their colonial masters off, men have labored to blot your name from mouths. The doctrine of Darwin, the derision of Descartes, the lies of Max, the odium of Hume, and the vain theories of Hawkins; all aim at dumping your truth in the gutters. our cinemas have caused greater dilemmas, the media have sent your name lower, and the state runs by the strength of men. Strange volumes have emerged against you. Are we already doomed?
*         Was there a big bang or a "Let there be..."? Did my fathers dwell in the tent of apes, and not in the garden of bliss? Why then are strange sounds hovering over the globe; why should our schools overrule our truths? However, I report nothing you have not already known.
*         Nevertheless, my joy is retained; for you remain you, amidst warring truths. You are not changed by doubts, nor moved by vain wits. For this reason, my relief is realized. Indeed, the burdens of philosophy and the sophistication of Science have no such weight as to diminish your strength. May this veiled reality ascend to all minds in a short while.

 *         For a certain, you are real--more real than my being. May I never abuse my wit by ever thinking amiss. i have seen enough proofs, and have believed. Your lovely world, your awesome cosmos, stir within me the very truths books have labored to bury.
*          May heavens forbid that I should spend this rare ink, sending sundry stories of human folly. pardon me, i plead; my mouth speaks but what my eye sees. I shall declare your glory, not their folly, and speak forth your eulogies--not their philosophies . By your hands I was made--not by the assembly of atoms nor by the meeting of ancient apes.
*          Disperse to this falling world the fountain of truth. Send into these blind minds your higher light. Let the gates of life be left open; put strength to legs and willingness to hearts, that they may run to you soon. I long to see the day when you will be clearly beheld, when the skeptic will believe, and when the stiff necked souls will mellow in regrets. Even as I speak these words, may my mind remained enlightened for timeless times. May the norms of the world, and the twinkling words of the thinking man never expel this light from my life.
*        My ink shall spin words again, but on blank sheets. My ink is filled for more letters; my mouth longs to speak more, and my pen begs for more inscriptions. As the earth remain, more words will be released. My eternal loyalty will forever be displayed. 


                                                                                             Your humble creation.

THE "DIVINE DESIGN" PRINCIPLE OF DESTINY FULFILLEMNT

  In the next couple of moments, you will be reading what many people call "a life changing message".  This message is basically for you. It is a timely exposition of truth, and I believe that you need this now--urgently.
    We all come into life with particular destinies to fulfill. That we all have destinies to fulfill does not mean that every one of us actually ends up fulfilling that destiny. Why is this so?  The gap between having a destiny to fulfill and actually fulfilling that destiny is quite sparse; that is why only an insignificant percentage of humans end up fulfilling their destinies by following the steps necessary for such fulfillment. On this path of destiny fulfillment, there are steps to make, actions to take, certain knowledge to acquire  and decisions to make. Knowing and doing these things are as important as fulfilling your purpose in life.
     Many of us are willing to achieve our destinies, we believe and make plans towards that direction, but only few people actually fulfill that which had been planned. The ultimate joy is neither in discovery of purpose nor working towards fulfilling it, but in actually bringing that purpose to reality.
     The first step to take  in  regards to destiny fulfillment is discovery of purpose. How can we fulfill a destiny we are yet to know? Discover your supreme purpose in life, and center your energies upon this single purpose. In this message, we are aiming at revealing another supreme step to take; and that is how we can understand and make use of all the events  and experiences that come our way, designed for the fulfillment of destiny.
    When we make mention of actualization of purpose, time is largely involved. No one is ingenious enough to beat the pace at which realities are expected to occur. Realities are however sped up, but there are limits to such successes.  An Italian proverb says "Hasty climbers have sudden falls". We all need time for maturity of self and of the elements needed for the purpose to be materialized. This time is not blank; there are activities involved in each time frame.
    It is written that there is time for everything. I understand it that each time has each issue to handle. There is no time for nothing as things must always occupy time. From the day we discover our purpose, every single hour is paved with events designed for our benefits, but our ability to recognize and utilize these events for our good is what many of us fail to display.  on the path of destiny, all is good. Of course, we all know that all things works together for good...for the fulfillment of our ultimate destinies in life. But, you must work together with all things to achieve the goodness you desire. Did you know that? You've just received a rare secret. How do you work with all things to reach an expected end?
    You also need to learn lessons from all things and use these lessons for good. Take this revelation seriously!  Everyone you meet in life,  every event you witness, every experience that comes your way, every thought that filters into your mind, if well coordinated, can be converted to priceless assets for destiny fulfillment.
    Do not be surprised to know that even the thoughts that frequently come your way, if well channeled, can take you to your golden destination. Thoughts are more powerful than anyone can think of."Am stung by the splendour of a sudden thought" so says a poet: Robbert Browning.  If you are gifted in the area of writing, or in inspiring and motivating people, you should be strict about how you handle the thoughts that come your way. Some inspirations come raw, some do not appear reasonable and presentable at first; but when polished, they stand out as priceless treasures.
    Be ready to draw out lessons from everything you witness in life. Go beyond learning! see how you can apply these lessons to fulfilling your destiny. The things you pass through should serve as routes to the destiny you are passing into.
write the lessons down, think about them and make steps towards correcting that which must be corrected, improving upon that which must be improved upon. Measure everything that comes your way with the goal you have in mind; but keep praying for the best!
   Everyone we meet: on the street, casual meeting or deep relationships, friends and foes, familiar and unfamiliar people, all have certain roles to play in our lives, and must therefore not be treated  vulgarly. Everyone is important! Have a listening spirit. There are times you talk to teach and there are times you listen to learn. Listen, observe and learn. Even when what the other person projects seems senseless, you  can polish and derive sense from it.     This principle has helped me severally, and can be of help to you. Most of the people I treasure today are those I met in the most casual manners--those I could have expected nothing from.
    God will always bring your way people who will contribute in some ways to your destiny. We are saying that all events we experience are designed, but we need to go in line with this design: to be where we are meant to be, to do what we are supposed to do and to think the thoughts designed for us at particular times. We have the power to swerve from this design!  and this only ends in abysmal failure. We need to go in line with the designer of our events. This is the route to destiny fulfillment. I wake up each day praying for my steps to be ordered: for me to meet the people I should meet, to see the events I should see, and to think the thoughts am expected to reflect upon on that day.
   We are not expected to experience everything,but certain things. Anything will not take us to our destinies, certain things will.  Locate yourself where you will have assess to all the events, people and thoughts designed for you each day, and when you come across these, make the best use of these rare opportunities.
   Consider the following: 1. Discover your purpose in life   2.Fill your soul with this purpose   3. Engross your mind with the giver of this destiny      4.Have an observant spirit, be watchful and ready to learn     5. Recognize and Obey divine timing.  
    Make good use of everything that comes your way. What you call "bad" may just be "good" in disguise. 
    Sit back, go through this message again, let your soul assimilate its content. You will not be glad you did. What are your reactions to this short exposition? Place your comments. Let's learn together!

Why are you in the world?

      This is a simple question, right? So what is the simple answer? Many people may not be aware of what it means to exist in the world for a purpose, but on a larger scale, we cannot escape the question of why we are existing--why all these had to happen and why we are living to witness them.
     The question of why you are here is of ultimate importance. In fact, it is the most important question in your life, in everybody's life. Without a purpose, you would not have been here. If there was no need of you being alive, there would have been no you, and therefore no life to live. therefore, what is that need and how can it be fulfilled? A million dollar question!
    our purposes in life differ from individual to individual. We probably have heard this over and over; but has this helped us in fulfilling our purpose of existence? Hear this: your purpose in life is the most important thing to your life. You are your purpose and your purpose is who you are. If you want to know what makes you unique and different from every other living being in the world, you need to know your purpose. this is because purpose differs from individual to individual.
    So, why are you living? what will you boast of in your bed of death? will you boast of the people you knew, the good food you ate, the god clothes you wore, the money you made and the academic degrees you saddled upon your head? These are good, but these alone could not have brought some one called "You" to the world. Who you are depends on why you are here. Find it out!

SUPERNATURAL REALITIES; udeme Ralph's thesis.



           The word ‘supernatural’ can take various dimensions and meanings. A simple definition is, ‘that which cannot be explained by the laws of science’. A thing is said to be natural when it exists in the three dimensional empirical reality. When we make mention of things that cannot be attained by scientific means, we are simply referring to the ‘supernatural’. Having considered such definitions, it is rather humorous to learn that many scientists still consider ‘a proof of the supernatural’ to be an issue. The problem with the term is the inclusion of terms such as ‘beyond and cannot’. For instance, if one says that a particular phenomenon cannot be explained naturally, then one is not just hoisting a difficulty, but equally professing ‘impossibility’.
     The problem at hand is that we are so close to this natural reality so that anything ‘supernatural’ begins to sound somewhat irrational; we have tied reality so rigidly to the mind to the extent that anything which proofs to be ‘beyond the mind’ automatically becomes unreal”( Udeme Ralph)                                                                                                             
     Whatever surpasses ‘reason’ is considered ‘irrational’ but does that make it false? I have always asked “is our mind the paradigm for all things?” The question at this point is ‘how do we know that there is anything supernatural if ‘the mind’ should not be considered? We need to know and truly know that we know the truth about ‘the supernatural world’, leaving behind beliefs and dogma, and letting go empty facts.
     Scientists are aware of the existence of impossibilities, but this does not deter their efforts in creating possibilities; many masters of Science may not take ‘faith’ as something reasonable, without considering the several scientific faiths they apply in empirical works. Science to an extent can sound fairy and highly utopian. When everyone dreaded the ‘edge’ of the earth, men of scientific faith dared to navigate the whole world. Scientists overruled all impossibilities and professed the possibility of landing man on the moon; that—they achieved at a wink of an eye. Most of the inventions and discoveries we see today came as a result of scientific faith; believing in the reality of something not yet seen; it took such faith for the first airplane to come into existence, and for the incandescent bulb to be invented. 
     With science, man believes that he can see what he has not seen, and is ready to proof that he has seen it when he has seen. He believes that when the calculations are exact, practical success is certain; not because it has thus happened before but because he has faith that it will work. But in doing this, he seems to forget some points: (i) he cannot explain why his hopes and belief is thus powerful; (ii) he fails to recognize the point that ‘by exerting a level of faith into his experiments’, he ends up believing in something that is practically unreal.
    Most great scientific feats are achieved by faith, not some random and careless activities. There can be no meaningful experiment without ‘possibility’ and ‘hope’ at the back of the mind.                                                                                                                        
     By virtue of the scientific faith, it seems many scientists believe that those things that are considered supernatural are mere scientific impossibilities that can sooner or later become possibilities. But this issue goes beyond mere phenomena and mysteries.
     Man in his scientific wit, is ready to proof beyond reasonable doubts that everything—known and unknown, falls within the natural range of existence; he believes that nothing is impossible forever; what he cannot do now can be done later, and those things that are considered as mysteries can be explained when the right knowledge is gained. But having considered the multitudinous nature of mysteries and impossibilities at hand, it may cost man eternity and beyond, to be able to unveil and understand all the enigmas, and perform those things that are presently impossible. What a weight of grieve and despondence man has heaped on his head!
     The flight of man in the air was at a point in time—a perfect impossibility; it could only be achieved by supernatural means. Such activities were not far from witchcraft and magic; which many could have regarded as ‘unreal’. Before the advent of telecommunication, some historical facts carry it that such phenomena existed among some ‘spiritual’ men in the past. Is this true? If yes, then some of the things scientists hope to achieve in the future are at their door steps—but as supernatural works.
     Evidence of paranormal phenomena is rampant in the world; which attracts both scientific and spiritual attentions. The spiritual men have their explanations while the scientist is ready to ‘convert’ such events into natural. In such situations, words like ‘dementia, coincidence, random events, illusions etc. come into view. The world, in a sense, is divided into the ‘natural men’ and the ‘spiritual men’ The spiritual man is ready to make everything ‘supernatural’; he can give a phenomenon as trivial as hitting a toe on a stone, a supernatural meaning; while the natural man is ready to reduce                                                                                                               everything to natural explanations. The point is not based on different perceptions, but in the knowledge of the truth. What is the proof behind the existence of the ‘supernatural’?
     The question of the existence of supernatural worlds and beings often draws us to the existence of ‘the supernatural part of man’. What is man made of? This, however, has remained a matter of great controversy for ages. Rene Descartes, the controversial philosopher, believed man is made up of body and mind; this sounds somewhat inconceivable. We are without doubt, more than mind and body. Take a look at this; your body belongs to you, so does your mind, so who are you? We do not just think; we equally know that we are thinking when we are thinking; we often assess our minds; there is therefore a part of us which is ‘far’ greater than the mind. Can this be the soul? The inner character, thought, feelings and identity in each of us, is what many ‘refuse’ to realize. The good thing about the issue is that we are all humans; there is no point doubting the existence of certain elements in man, since we all have these things in common; we are very close to some of the realities we refuse to realize.
     Another word akin to ‘soul’ is the word ‘spirit’—the peak of man’s existence.  To many, ‘soul’ is something to grasp while ‘spirit’ is simply fallacious. How then can we realize these things in us—personally?
     It is high time we unveiled the true reality, and stop sticking heads in the dungeon of beliefs. Our beliefs can work for us, but they cannot change reality; reality is fixed. What we know and believe to be true must not necessarily be the truth. Does man have a spirit? If yes, how can it be ascertained?
     We are too sophisticated and mysterious to be mere moving bodies and thinking minds.                                                                                                 
     Our extraordinariness, our consciousness, our mysteries and individual identities reveal that there is a part or parts of us which is beyond natural planes of existence. Our ability to analyze the mind reveals that there is a part of our body that is above the mind. At times, we often think of ourselves and tend to have some abstract elements bubbling in us such as feelings, consciousness, guilt, conscience and a sense of ethics, The question should therefore not be if man has a spirit (i.e. a greater part of his being beyond the natural realm) but what constitute the spirit of man, how it can be realized and nurtured. The mystery of our individual personalities before we were born, the ordeal of death and inexistence often brings to our minds, the supernatural part of man.

"THE GREATER THE CONCEPT, THE GREATER THE NONSENSE" UDEMIC THEORY OF INTELLECTUAL ANARCHISM. Udeme Ralph (2010)


     “THE GREATER THE CONCEPT, THE GREATER THE NONSENSE” THE UDEMIC THEORY OF INTELLECTUAL ANARCHISM.  Udeme Ralph (2010)
         Theories have always emerged in life about certain realities that man have faced; a theory often evolves from a valid observation, and it solely depends on the understanding of the mind, the comprehension of the senses, and the articulation of wit or words. A theory should not be seen as a final cause, or axiomatic truth meant to be unchanged. This is not only applied to the philosophical sphere, but operates in the empirical reality of science.
        Anarchistic theories vary in dimension; Paul Fayerberand’s philosophical anarchism and postmodernism constitute the ferment for such ‘radical’ postulations. Quantum physics which have overwhelmed the intellectual scenario of physics, is one of such madness. Intellectual anarchism, as a theory therefore takes a look at the gradual disintegration of pattern as new ideas evolve. This however does not dance to the view of the materialist who believes in a chancy existence. Rather, the Udemic anarchism looks at the mind of man, not his environment, and trudges deep into the intellectual world, which apart from being controversial is full of chaos. The theory tries to answer the question if an increase in concept, leads to a geometric increase in pattern and standard; if the rise inj theory in our academic spheres and in the scientific realm adds or subtracts from the confined system. It also looks at the systems theory as it affects philosophy, political science as well as sociology. The paramount question is ‘does an increase in intellectual wits and scientific tyros bring about positive or negative effect on the systematic configuration of science and philosophy. The answer is ‘no’
         What intellectual innovations do, is add to the already complexity of things, and this has a marginal diminishing result on the sphere of education. Udeme Ralph, in his book “The polemics of philosophy”(2011) affirms “What we are looking at is a future with a blank scene; we are looking at a rapid rise in complexity and even a more rapid increase in systematic breakdown”. The intellectual anarchism is therefore a ‘prognosis’ type of theory, which takes its premises from the crystallizing realities.
       We hope to speak more on this theory. For more information on Udeme Ralph’s theory of intellectual anarchism, visit www.theories.com

Udeme Ralph delves into philosophical expositions

       Age has put a demarcation in the acquisition of knowledge as well  as the acceptance of truth. Udeme Ralph has decided to forgo all these shallow considerations and has therefore decided to break loose from such mental inertia into the realm of free expositions. His current works in the field of  philosophy  ranges from metaphysical, epistemological into several ethical works. We urge you to subscribe to this blog in order to follow all the posts that shall sooner or later be brought into being.
Some of his works include:  (1) Acmesism   (2)soliscienism (3)transcendatology  (4) The theory of prognosis,
      We have decided to reveal these newly propounded thesis, although not generally accepted in the public sphere. As a matter of fact, this blog is responsible for expanding and publicizing these ideas. In our next post, we will take a close look at Acmesism.
       "Philosophy has carried the wrong name for centuries, but this disguise can not continue further. What the field of philosophy requires is the presence of new minds who hold more to intuition than rational madness"   Udeme Ralph (2010)

HUMAN EXISTENCE

    In this post, we are going to take you round the world of existence and reveal the hidden things of life from carious dimensions. Thanks to blogger.com for creating this platform where minds can meet and share hidden truths; where existence can be probed and understood from various angles and ramifications. This blog is the first of its kind and in the next couple of days, it shall be filled with divine revelations and inquisitions.
       Is the existence of man on earth a mystery or has science solved all the conundrums thereby leading to an elusion-free understanding of human existence? If this is the truth, then the mysteries now left to be solved are the underlying mysteries of the ‘infinitely looking’ universe and the uncertainties that cover existence.  But the truth is contrary to this shallow point, as a greater portion of man lies unknown- therefore- unsolved.  We have not only failed in the total unveiling of man’s mysteries, but we lack the means and the capabilities of ever getting in touch with these mysteries. “How can man know the fullness of man; or how can mankind single-handedly uncover its mysteries?” Logically speaking, there is no hope for such attainment of knowledge; the only hope at hand is the hope of utter hopelessness upon hopelessness. Considering the issue of ‘hope’ we can redefine the entire concept of hope and end up saying that man is not entirely without hope. So what is the way out? Can we come to the full knowledge of who we are, where we are and why we are here?
     Any one at this point may expect a mighty ‘yes’; but  a positive reply to this enigma seems far fetched, even though the platform for profound knowledge has been set. What is the greatest encumbrance of man’s successful attainment of such knowledge? At this point, am afraid, we may be delving into even a deeper mystery and despondence.  Man is the problem of mankind. The world is terribly filled with men who think a lot and know so less; who know a lot and understand nothing. This is not prejudice; it is truth. We depend more on our minds than we depend on ourselves. To understand the depth of the mind, man decides to apply his mind. To know more about himself, he seeks to dwell within himself and access not just his realities, but higher realities. ‘Transcendence’ according to the ‘human man’ is dogmatic and foolish; any thing supernatural is nothing but comedy and conundrum.
     We can only know and understand the mysteries of the natural world from the supernatural perspectives; doubt won’t be of help; not even empirical verifications can solve this. The fanatical desire to verify has placed more limitations on man than ignorance itself.  Another step into ignorance is the desire to refute knowledge.
      I have decided to go this length before concentrating on ‘human existence’. I do so in order to ease comprehension, and avoid many irrelevant essays.  As a matter of face, the purpose of this article could have been made void without appropriate preambles. Having known this, we can conveniently deliberate on the issue ‘human existence’ without sentiments.
     Human existence, although has some metaphysical or in better terms; supernatural connections, can equally be viewed from the ordinary day to day, scientific perspective. The issue goes beyond how man emerged into many nebulous areas such as his purpose, his creator and everything one could conceive in line with the existence of mankind. “A wantonly lengthy essay” one may conclude, but this essay, be it as it is; has already taken a different form. What is it about man that really deserves our consideration? Is there any thing we can grasp as a result of this article that cannot be found anywhere else?
     The emergence of mankind: What we have gathered so far concerning how humanity came into being, fall within the realm of beliefs, and spurious facts. The so called theory of evolution, the several stages of human development which imbues the Darwinian speculation has brought us into an inexistent past, and has ended up in increasing our delusions.  What then are the explanations for the fossils; the skulls and several skeletal parts of the ‘supposed’ ancient man? These are facts on ground, but must all forms of primates be called ‘man’? What if they were to an extent, some strange beasts? This however, is an attempt to discredit the theory of evolution without a valid scientific back up. Following this premise, we can easily detect when a thing is false when we know the truth. We may not have enough facts to oppose the false speculations, but we can state at length—the truth behind the whole saga.
     In his book ‘Human Existence’, Udeme Ralph lays emphasis on not just the emergence of man, but  his values, nature, objectives, and purpose of existence; both from the natural and the metaphysical  perspectives.  No one can actually talk about the date, age or point in time when man emerged in the scene. Biblical scholars make claims which goes back to only 6,000 years ago, while science speculates millions of years. The first question that arises is ‘which of these is true’? For one to ascertain what is true, especially based on the laws of these scientific realities, one must first and foremost present myriads of evidences to back up such claims. But as I said, this is the scientific way; the way of mechanically programmed beings. What we feel is at times greater than what we know. Now, the question is ‘what does common sense reveal? What do we feel prior to this quest?’   If we must follow intuition, we are bound to realize that man is not as old as what popular beliefs carry.
       The very idea of evolutionary trend of existence is masterminded by the idea that the universe is infinite and static; things had always existed, and therefore, there was adequate time for the ‘unicellular organism’ ( the first cell that led to all living things, according to scientists) to grow as millions of years elapsed.  This ‘static-universe’ idea was entrenched in the philosophical notions of Emmanuel Kant. But ‘every-one’ knows that the universe is expanding. Now, if evolution is thus true, then it has not stopped. One may expect to see some alien-looking specie of human beings in some millions of years to come. Even after now, the madness would still continue infinitely. Again, let’s look at the word ‘infinitely’; it is incomprehensible; except we are ready to agree that science has become more mysterious than empirically true. 
       For us to truly understand a thing, we must be ready to create edges, bottom and top; if a thing surpasses our little minds, then its rather fallacious to bring it down as fact or establish some theories.
    Man did not evolve; that some primates evolved or are evolving, does not in anywhere suggest that man has joined the list. One beautiful thing about the entire matter is this; Even if man existed thousands of years ago, or commenced his evolutions some millions of years ago, you and I came into being only few years ago. We did no exist in order to move backward. By this, I mean, the true analysis of human existence should center more on the present state of humanity; at the global level, and individual consciousness; this is the only way to be fully equipped for the days ahead.  It is rather ironical and foolish to know that many people spend today and invest the future in the study and understanding of the past; even the ‘irrelevant’ past.
     Another point to sort out is ‘who we are’; our mind, heart and entire being. We will rather stick to the present man and his realities, than include the man that we know nothing about.
   “Could there have been any reality or existence, if there was no man?”
n  Udeme Ralph
    The very idea of ‘real’ and ‘exist’ is a matter of the human understanding. In fact, the terms are human language. This tends to explain something powerful about our exist. We exist to make things exist. Had man not existed, no body could have talked those things that do not exist. When one says ‘God does not exist’ I can’t help bursting into laughter; if only we realize that our shallow judgments don’t count, we wont make assertions any more. We can never be successful in ascertaining what is not real or what does not exist.
