Point #7 of the 7 Key Points to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The mother and child relationship. Obviously, the female is the “dispersal-hindering” part of the human species–she is the part that keeps the human species from dissolution, which would fulfill the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. You will recall that the 2nd Law wants to break up concentrated energy anywhere and everywhere. So the love and attitude we see from the mother toward the child help secure the continued existence of humans.

It makes sense then that if this mother-child attitude is essential for the biological preservation of the species, then the same attitude is essential for the preservation of human society. And it is–the IMPACTS have the same attitude toward the world and almost everything they are doing as does the mother toward her child. That is why societies continue functioning. If they don’t, then the IMPACTS are either not there or they have been stifled.

So the IMPACTS take the attitude of the mother toward her child out into the world and treat it the same way, enabling its continued existence.

So these are the 7 key points to understanding the IMPACTS concept:

1) The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and its antithesis
2) The hydrogen atom and its valence electron
3) Photosynthesis and the production of glucose
4) The San tribe and the shamans
5) The emergence of agriculture 10,000 years ago
6) Machine and fuel–the template for the universe
7) The mother-child relationship, the same attitude that IMPACTS have toward the world.

I am always available for questions. Thank you for reading.

Point #6 of the 7 Key Points to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 by Dickey Eason

Machine and fuel. This is the model throughout the universe beginning with the hydrogen atom. In the hydrogen atom, the atom is the machine and the electron is the fuel. How so? Because the electron can bond with other electrons, producing concentrated energy which can be used to make the structure bigger and stronger.

Another example–a galaxy is a machine with the stars being the fuel. The galaxy gets bigger and stronger with each additional star, which enables it to “grab” other galaxies if they are smaller. All of these machines have a small dense core which is the power - control center.

In human society, the IMPACTS are the fuel for the human race. The SN or structural-nucleus uses this fuel from the IMPACTS to get where it wants to go. In that way human society is no different from a rocket or a train or an automobile that uses refined energy to move it in a certain direction.

Other examples:
1) a company–same thing–small dense center with IMPACTS as the primary fuel supply
2) a country–same–small dense center with IMPACTS as the primary fuel supply
3) a family–small dense center with the female as the primary fuel supply; she is the only one who can reproduce
4) a plant–uses the small amount of chlorophyll to produce sugars which help it get bigger and stronger
5) the human body–uses sugars produced by plants to enable it to do work and function like a machine.

Everything is based on the machine-fuel model. When photosynthesis started forming sugars 3.5 billion years ago on earth, glucose became the primary fuel for life. It is concentrated energy–a carbon molecule made possible through the bonding of valence electrons. Valence electrons enable life.

IMPACTS do the same–they bond and enable the functioning of human society. They are the concentrated energy–the glucose of humanity.

Point #7 tomorrow–the mother-child relationship.

Dissatisfied?

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010 by Dickey Eason

Are you dissatisfied with the way the world is currently explained? Do you feel that there are lots of loose ends and no real cohesive theory to explain how everything works? Do you think there is probably a much simpler version of reality–and more accurate–than what we currently have? Do you think that career scientists are more likely to figure out different aspects of the universe or is the “guy or girl on the street” just as likely?

If you want to learn a new way of looking at reality–one that is simple yet profound–one that is applicable to everyday life–and one that has its basis in science and not speculation, then you might want to learn about the IMPACTS concept. I’m certain it will answer many of your questions while it will also have you asking new ones.

We have learned from an early age to defer to the power-control crowd–parents, teachers, politicians, company owners–you name it. But now I think it is time to re-examine what we do with our energy and who we give it to. I think it is time to focus it on the IMPACTS and what they can do as a group to change the world–and only they can do it and only as a group. Concentrated energy is the only way that anything gets done and there is no more powerful concentrated energy than the IMPACTS working together.

Point #5 of the 7 Key Points to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept

Friday, May 21st, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The development of agriculture 10,000 years ago. Before agriculture, humans lived a mostly nomadic life, moving from place to place, following the food. Agriculture enabled people to settle down. Instead of spending almost all of the year centered around food, humans could now raise enough food in a month to serve their needs for the entire year.

Then, other things became important: protecting the food against others who might have had a bad harvest, property rights, and a hierarchy. Someone had to be in charge whereas before the shaman had been in charge. But the shaman was a people-person and agricultural societies required someone who was less sentimental. The shaman types became the fuel for the “structural-nucleus” or SN. The San and shaman had laid the foundation for what was developing. People like them–community-oriented, selfless, innovative–would be the basis for the post-agricultural world.

The world is still set up the same way today. About 6,000 years ago, our current model of states and countries and societies took form. These states were and still are dependent on a large number of IMPACTS to make things work and keep the wheels turning.

As I have said, everything is based on the model of the hydrogen atom. When the proton nucleus “captures” an electron, then that electron seeks to bond with another electron, and when it does, a whole new structure is formed–a molecule. The same occurred with agriculture–the IMPACTS were captured and the new structure of “civilization” began to form–with a controlling nucleus at the core.

Point #4 of the 7 Key Points to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept

Friday, May 21st, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The San tribe of Africa and its shaman-centered way of life. If you understand the San you will understand the foundation of human civilization.

The San are the oldest modern human group. All genetic studies confirm this. They have been living well over 100,000 years. At one time they numbered in the millions but now only 100,000 or so remain, mostly living in the Kalahari Desert of southwest Africa. Where modern life has not encroached, they are still living as they did 100,000 years ago–same customs, same shaman-centered lifestyle.

There were many San tribes and still are, each tribe being very independent. This has become the blueprint for the modern world–instead of tribes it is countries.

I have never seen this in any book of any sort but it is one of the most obvious deductions ever made–the San were the out-of-Africa group 60,000 to 80,000 years ago. They were the people that colonized the world. That is why human societies were so similar for thousands of years–all had as their foundation the San way of life.

In the San tribe, half of the members might be shamans, slightly more men than women. The shamans were the problem-solvers and their concerns were the health and well-being of the tribe. Often the shamans would travel to the spirit world in a trance to search for answers to the problems of individuals and the group. These trance ceremonies would include all members of the tribe–with dancing, singing, and often storytelling.

The shamans were the first artists though they did not see it as art–everything to the San and shaman had a function. Art was no different. Much of the art was what the shaman saw in his journeys to the spirit world where animals helped him on his mission. The shamans painted what they saw in their trance.

Paintings in European caves from over 20,000 years ago bear striking resemblances to San paintings. There is a simple reason for this–the San were the out-of-Africa group and their genes were still very much in play and still are today. All artists still have San genes expressing themselves.

The IMPACTS of today are the San tribe and shamans in different clothing. IMPACTS see the world very much as the San and shamans saw their world. The San sought harmony between people and with nature–the IMPACTS generally do the same. The San were very androgynous–IMPACTS are usually the same.

The San laid the foundation for the world that developed after agriculture which was a far different world than the community-oriented San world. The emergence of agriculture 10,000 years ago allowed the development of a structural-nucleus, the SN, which began to control societies. This is the model we have today–the IMPACTS provide the fuel for the SN. That is the model–machine and fuel.

So the 4th point is the San and shaman, the foundation for human society–and the development of the fuel for human society. The IMPACTS are today’s version of the San and shaman. They make everything happen. No IMPACTS–nothing is going to happen. Many IMPACTS–anything can happen.

Point #3 of 7 Keys to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The universe is coming apart–galaxies are moving away from each other at a rapid pace. So dispersal is the rule. Therefore bonding is the opposite to the tendencies of the universe. That leads us to Point #3–photosynthesis and the production of glucose.

Biologist John Kimball says that it is electrons shuttling between only 2 elements, carbon and oxygen, that powers life:

-Moving electrons against the gradient (O to C) - as occurs in photosynthesis - requires energy (and stores it).

-Moving electrons down the gradient (C to O) - as occurs in cellular respiration - releases energy.

So the movement of electrons between carbon and oxygen makes life work.

Glucose was produced by cyanobacteria about 3.5 billion years ago. That led to the release of oxygen as a by-product which led to the oxygenizing of the atmosphere and the oceans. Glucose became the basis of life and still is today. Our brain depends almost entirely on glucose for its fuel.

So once the fuel is formed, nature keeps it. It is the same with the IMPACTS–they are the fuel for the human race, and they are basically the San tribe and shaman in “new” clothes.

Point #4 tomorrow–the San and shaman are the foundation of modern humans.

Point #2 of the 7 Key Points to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The hydrogen atom–one proton and one electron. But still it is out of balance. It needs another electron for balance. How will it get it? It will share the valence electron of another atom, becoming a molecule.

So a part of the hydrogen atom is always looking for a way to attain balance. I believe it is the electron that is searching–not the entire atom.

It is the same in human society. The IMPACTS are the valence electron–they are always trying to bring balance to their environment. Therefore they are innovative, persistent, and dedicated.

So the 2nd key point is that IMPACTS behave just like the valence electron.

The 3rd point tomorrow.

7 Key Points to Understanding the IMPACTS Concept–Point #1

Monday, May 17th, 2010 by Dickey Eason

Over the next 7 days, I will explain briefly what I believe are the 7 points that are key to understanding the IMPACTS concept. It is all very rational and I think you will see it makes perfect sense–if I explain it correctly. Everything is following a natural progression. The development of the family is the same as the development of the atom is the same as the development of the country and on and on. Everything is following the same model.

Point #1

The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics and its antithesis. The 2nd Law is simple–concentrated energy anywhere in the universe including on earth will disperse (break up and scatter) if not hindered from doing so. Obviously hindering is at work because we are here as are planets and stars and billions of other things. What is holding it together? Strong bonds and strong attractions. Some cosmologists believe it is mainly electrical–most believe it is gravitational, including that caused by dark matter. I think the important point is this–the universe is expanding and dispersing–galaxies are moving apart BUT there is a force that is working hard to keep things together. To me that is the most important part–the dichotomy at work–the dynamic–the battle. I don’t think the universe is just a “picture-show”–I believe it is a struggle between the forces of dispersal (coming apart) and the forces of “keeping together”.

We see these exact same 2 forces on earth. Of course human beings and human societies are a hybrid of these 2 forces–we don’t see the “pure” forms of the forces–we see the hybrid versions. It is the same with the orbit of the moon. Two forces are at work. One is moving the moon straight ahead in a straight line–the other is the force of the earth pulling it straight down. The result is the moon in its orbit.

In the universe I think the male force is the dispersal force and the female force is the “hold together” force. The same 2 forces are at work on earth among human beings. The pure male force breaks up concentrated energy and takes–the pure female force creates, forms, and produces–it fights back against dispersal.

This is the 1st key point–2 forces appear to be struggling across the universe–a male force and a female force, and it is the same 2 forces that struggle on earth. Taoists have been saying this for centuries though not using the exact same terminology though they have called the 2 forces male and female. I agree with the Taoists but I will take it further.

The 2nd point tomorrow.

Oil Spill

Thursday, May 13th, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a good example of how the world works.

IMPACTS are the ones who discover where the oil is, how to extract it from the earth, how to ship it, how to refine it, and how to make engines that can utilize it. And if given the power, they could find ways to safeguard against disasters like we are currently seeing. But the SN is in charge–the SN captures the IMPACTS energy and uses it for its own ends. Now the IMPACTS will be utilized to clean up everything, as much as is possible. And then the cycle will repeat itself.

This is the way that energy gets organized, and often with catastrophic results. The only way to lead humanity in another direction is to have IMPACTS in the board room,  in the control room, and in the halls of legislatures–in very large numbers–soon.

Mendeleev’s Mother

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 by Dickey Eason

The IMPACTS profile is mostly a female-oriented profile as was the San tribe. So when considering the IMPACTS profile, think of the attitude a mother would have toward the safety and well-being of her child or children. This is the basic attitude that IMPACTS have toward the world and whatever they are doing.

Some examples of that attitude of the mother and IMPACTS: a sense of urgency, hope for the future, efficient or the attempt to be, immense love and caring, alert for needs, wanting the “best they can be”, innovative in search of solutions, wanting constant improvement, and more.

Let me give you an example of the mother-child relationship that really signifies the IMPACTS profile and attitude.

Dmitri Mendeleev, the Russian who gave the world the Periodic Table of the Elements in 1869, was born in western Siberia in 1834, the last of 14-17 children. The actual total is in dispute. His father was an educator and teacher but early in Dmitri’s childhood, he went blind and later died of tuberculosis when Dmitri was in his early teens.

Dmitri’s mother was from an entrepreneurial family. Her grandfather had started a glass-making business and a newspaper business. Upon the death of her husband, she took over management of the glass factory owned by her brother. Soon it had burned to the ground, putting her, Dmitri, and her daughter in a bad situation. The other children were out on their own.

Maria had been saving for years in the expectation of sending Dmitri to a university, as those around him acknowledged his intellect to be superior. So now faced with few options and at age 57, she took the two children and hitchhiked 4,000 miles from Siberia to Moscow in an effort to enroll Dmitri in a university. Turned down in Moscow, they proceeded another 400 miles on to St Petersburg to the school where her deceased husband had been schooled. A family friend was in charge, Dmitri passed the exams, and he was given a full scholarship. Soon, his mother and sister had died of tuberculosis.

Dmitri said about his mother: “She instructed by example, corrected with love, and in order to devote me to science, left Siberia with me, spending her last resources and strength.”

Dmitri’s mother illustrates vividly the attitude of the IMPACTS, and we see it in the mother-child relationship. This is no surprise because this is the foundation of human life—this is the dispersal-hindering agent—mother and child. This is IMPACTS energy and attitude. IMPACTS generally take this attitude out into the world, IMPACTS men and women alike. The world has to have this attitude or it would not last, just as the mother has to have this attitude or the human race would not last.

Another aspect of the 2nd Law is that energy must be continually re-infused because over time, it loses part of its strength (disperses). The IMPACTS have ample energy and they keep infusing the environment wherever they go.

Let’s keep in mind the IMPACTS traits and characteristics that we see in the Mendeleev family.
Mother’s tenacious love
Strong family bonds
Education emphasis
Travel for opportunities
Recovery from adversity
Entrepreneurial leanings
Coming from the periphery
The effort to actualize potential—use all of that concentrated energy for good
Refusal to accept defeat
Discovery and invention

Mendeleev went on to invent the Periodic Table of Elements. His mother’s love and sacrifice aided all of humanity. That’s why I say that love is the strongest force in the universe.
