Our perception could be deemed as very limited in this macrocosmic , or visible , world .
There is an allegorical story that sums up our limited perception of reality called Plato ’ s cave .

As people pass outside the cave , their shadows reflect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that appears to be the ‘ real world ’ to the prisoners who have only ever perceived shadows .

When we look at the material reality, and the most widely accepted idea of what reality is (science), it is really hard to comprehend infinity. In this article I want to explain infinity and how mathematics can explain 2 infinities simultaneously existing.
The Newtonian world
According to the Newtonian world 1+1=2 and everything from the simple to the complex is verifiable by some form of equation. For example, if I throw a ball with the weight of 500 grams, at 5 miles per hour, at a 70 degree angle, it will land in a specific space. Given that all variables are the same, it will be an experiment that is repeatable. Our perception could be deemed as very limited in this macrocosmic, or visible, world.
Plato’s cave
There is an allegorical story that sums up our limited perception of reality called Plato’s cave. The story goes as follows – a group of individuals are born in a cave and chained up by their captures, so that they can only face in one direction. As people pass outside the cave, their shadows reflect on the cave wall creating a show that appears to be the ‘real world’ to the prisoners who have only ever perceived shadows. As time passes by, the prisoners (not knowing anything outside of this show) believe this perception to be the true reality. This reality is then shattered when the are set free, only, those who are imprisoned choose to stay in the cave in the comfort of what they perceive to be reality- the reality of the shadows on the walls.
This is similar to our reality, what is true and what is seen are two different things, and it could be argued that truth (apart from a few core truths) is subjective.
The unseen world
We have a whole light spectrum that is beyond our scope of vision, and the same for sound frequency. For example; a bear can smell something from 20 miles away. It can smell through walls and even metal cans. These are subtle scents that humans can’t pick up from the next room. Does this mean the scent is nonexistent? Of course not, it is just beyond our perception.
Quantum physics
Newtonian physics is predictable, yet the quantum world has a whole set of rules of its own. Quantum physics is the science of the microcosm, concerning that which exists at the size of less than 1000th of an inch – and this tiny world plays in a different ball park. In the opening paragraph I mentioned throwing a ball with the weight of 500 grams, at 5 miles per hour, at a 70 degree angle, and that by the Newtonian laws of physics the experiment and results are repeatable if the variables are the same. However, if you used the same example of a quantum ball being thrown at 5 miles per hour, at a 70 degree angle, it has the potential to land in a different place each time. In fact the ball may explode one time, move backwards the next and then stay still the following time.
There is a study called the Bells Theorem or the double slit experiment, conveying that mere observation of the quantum world changes the outcome of certain experiments performed.
To infinity and beyond
With the context of the mysterious quantum world, it may be better understood how one could grasp the idea of infinity – something that exists outside of the consensus understanding of the material reality. Something without a start or an end.
When we think of infinity, it could be argued that if something has no start and no end, it must be all encompassing – meaning it should include everything in its parameters of existence. But can 2 infinities exist simultaneously?
A simple mathematical formula can theoretically show how 2 infinite things can co-exist, or to word differently, show in a Newtonian sense how infinite parallel dimensions could coexist.
How Can 2 Infinities Exist Simultaneously?
For this we only need 2 numbers, yet the more numbers we use, the more parallel infinities we see are in existence. When you count in whole numbers, we go from 1 to infinity in a single infinite stream of numbers. However, when we compartmentalise the numbers we infinite space between each number. There is no way of getting from 1 to 2 when counting numbers in fractions eg 1.1-1.2 and so on to 1.9. As we continue further we get 1.10, 1.11… 1.20, 1.21… and so on to 1.999999999 and beyond. There is an infinite number of combinations between an infinite amount of numbers.
What do we know?
The more we learn, we realise the less we know. For every page of every book there exists an infinite amount of avenues of enquiry. All we can say for certain, is that we know nothing at all, so we may as well enjoy the ride!


truththeory--2020-03-09--Understanding The Process Of Birth, Life And Death

Is the universe in the process of expanding life or deteriorating death ?
Everything in the 3 dimensional universe is governed by fixed laws .
Duality is one of these laws , which states that everything is dual in nature , meaning there can be no hot without cold or long without short .
It states that everything ceases to be without its counterpart .
A clear example of this is matter and space , there is no such thing as either empty space or pure matter , both need the comparison to be brought to life .
Another universal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that everything from dense to etheric is just an expression of vibration in varying degree .
A third example would be seen in attraction , which includes magnetism , gravity and for the romantics , even love .
The fixed law that will make up the meat of this article is the trinity of- Birth , life and death .
This is seen in the most obvious expression through the birth of a human being .
Followed by rapid growth in the infant years , which then starts to slow down until we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Human life is also broken up into metaphorical births , lifes and deaths through the duration of one ’ s life , meaning every project started or life path followed begins a new process of birth , life and death .
Cause and effect is another fundamental law , although it actually has a middle ground of action .
This trinity mimics the birth , life , death process .
The cause is an idea or a creator .
The action is the motion of this idea or the creating .

This trinity is also seen in religion with the Father ( creator ) , the Son ( created ) and the Holy Ghost ( creating ) .
Brahma ( creator ) , Vishnu ( preserver ) and Shiva ( destroyer ) .
Further to this there is the concept of rebirth , which varies over different religions and spiritual beliefs .
A simplified outline of this is we are born , we play out our lives and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ move to another .
This is often incorporated with the concept of Karma .
Karma is cause and effect , meaning all that we do ( cause ) lays the way for our future ( effect ) .

Birth, Life and Death
The fixed law that will make up the meat of this article is the trinity of- Birth, life and death. This is seen in the most obvious expression through the birth of a human being. Followed by rapid growth in the infant years, which then starts to slow down until we enter the period of decline or death. Human life is also broken up into metaphorical births, lifes and deaths through the duration of one’s life, meaning every project started or life path followed begins a new process of birth, life and death.
Cause and Effect
Cause and effect is another fundamental law, although it actually has a middle ground of action. This trinity mimics the birth, life, death process. The cause is an idea or a creator. The action is the motion of this idea or the creating. The effect is the result or the created, this mimics death as once fully matured an object starts the process of decomposition.
Religion/Spirituality
This trinity is also seen in religion with the Father (creator), the Son (created) and the Holy Ghost (creating). Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver) and Shiva (destroyer). Further to this there is the concept of rebirth, which varies over different religions and spiritual beliefs. A simplified outline of this is we are born, we play out our lives and then when we leave this body and move to another. This is often incorporated with the concept of Karma. Karma is cause and effect, meaning all that we do (cause) lays the way for our future (effect). When we are reborn, we carry all the Karma of one life into the next.
The Universe Is Still Expanding
The most agreed upon scientific hypothesis of material creation is that of the big bang. In its simplest form, this states that a singularity split and duplicated multiple times growing until we have what we know today as the universe.
Coming back to the law of birth, life and death- the concept of birth is nothing becoming something. Life is that of something that is expanding. Then death is that which is contracting. The scientific understanding of the universe says that we are currently in expansion mode.
This means we are still growing, and regardless of the growing pains the planet is facing, we are still moving and birthing more life.
The interesting jump in consciousness will be when we move into the process of death and retraction. But one can only speculate what this will look like on a mass scale.

Climate change is a global crisis and steps should be taken to counter its ill effects .
Hungary has come up with an effective 8 point strategy to tackle climate change .
Viktor Orbán , prime minister of Hungary , has unveiled the plan on February 19 , which states that the government will plant ten trees for every new child born .
The announcement was made in the annual State of the Nation Address .
Planting ten trees for every child means that approximately one million trees will be planted every year .
If the plan is meticulously followed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Hungary will increase by almost 27 % in the next ten years .

Climate change is a global crisis and steps should be taken to counter its ill effects. Hungary has come up with an effective 8 point strategy to tackle climate change. Viktor Orbán, prime minister of Hungary, has unveiled the plan on February 19, which states that the government will plant ten trees for every new child born. The announcement was made in the annual State of the Nation Address.
Planting ten trees for every child means that approximately one million trees will be planted every year. If the plan is meticulously followed, the percentage of forested area in Hungary will increase by almost 27% in the next ten years. It is no mean feat to maintain so many trees but steps will be taken to nurture the plants on a regular basis. The prime minister also spoke about the demographic decline as the most glaring result of the prolonged climate crisis. The economic condition too is not doing great and needs attention.

The other points included in the plan are: cracking down landfills that are illegal, banning single-use plastic sales, protecting the rivers of Hungary from toxic waste, facilitating the production of renewable energy for businesses that are eco-friendly, developing solar energy schemes, considering electric cars as a viable mode of transport, introducing schemes to deposit bottles, and launching new government bonds that will invest more in eco-friendly technologies.
Bernadett Szél, MP of the government of Hungary pointed out the loopholes in the plan. What is the driving force behind such rapid plans on Orbán’s end? It may be so that he is aiming for the 2022 parliamentary election but nonetheless, he is giving climate change the focus it deserves.

Even after facing such difficulties, Millie’s footage showed her enthusiastic nature – running and jumping around in Brighton. Her floppy tongue and distorted snout did not prove to be a hindrance as she excitedly greeted the vets who would operate her. Also known as the snot monster, this bundle of joy was rescued by Kasey Carlin.

Millie was rescued in Russia where she was a street dog. Carlin found the dog trying desperately to claw at her distorted snout as she was in extreme pain. Efforts were made to raise funds for the surgery that the dog needed in order to survive. The Wild at Heart Foundation made arrangements for her treatment in the UK. Not only did the poor dog have a rotting snout, one of her eyes was damaged by a bullet. However, Millie is recovering from numerous surgeries according to Carlin.
Carlin knew right from the first moment she saw the dog that she wanted to take care of her. She saw Millie’s rescue video where she was struggling to breathe but was charged with energy. When the dog was rescued, her snout was completely shattered and Carlin wanted to help the poor dog.

How did such a happy dog get abused so brutally? Her story is ambiguous but Carlin believes she was used for target practice or maybe someone tried to euthanize her but failed. Millie’s pictures went viral on Instagram and Carlin saw them. She immediately sent out texts to trace her and give the dog a loving home. Irina from Vyberimenya, the shelter, communicated with Carlin and they began the rescue process.
Mother of four dogs, three belonging to her and one foster, Carlin couldn’t be happier. Maggie, Mishka, Millie, and Bella are a part of her family. Maggie had also been abused previously and is disabled. She was found in Lebanon, her eyes shot out, an ear cut off, a broken jaw, and with multiple bullet wounds over her body. The dog was tied to a box in such a pathetic condition but now she is doing well. In fact, Maggie is a popular therapy dog and was nominated for a bravery award too.
Millie is a happy and completely healed dog now. Despite her trauma, she is in good physical and mental state. The only bad habit that she has is her inability to control her drool as her jaw is broken. Millie being a special dog does attract attention from strangers on the street who are soon taken over by her charm she enjoys a good number of head pats for her friendly nature.

Update: In response to the activism against the practice, Sephora has now stopped sourcing their products from these mink farms.
Fake eyelashes are a huge business, and many of the most popular brands use fur from minks to make them. Many of these brands, sold at retailers like Sephora, claim that their products are “cruelty-free.” “ethically sourced,” or “free-range,” but animal rights groups like PETA say that there is no such thing as cruelty-free mink fur.
Animals like minks are instinctively territorial, which makes a “free-range” mink farm a bit of an impossibility. They can also become very aggressive when they feel threatened, so they would need to be caged in order for their fur to be harvested. In many places, like Europe, minks are now endangered, mostly due to overhunting and loss of habitat.
The European mink is listed by the IUCN as Critically Endangered due to an ongoing reduction in numbers, having been calculated as declining more than 50% over the past three generations and expected to decline at a rate exceeding 80% over the next three generations.
According to animal rights investigators, animals trapped on fur farms are violently killed on a regular basis. They’re electrocuted, bludgeoned, or gassed, or their necks are broken, and their skins are torn from their bodies while they’re still conscious. Investigators with PETA have said that gas chambers are used on many of these mink farms to kill the animals so their fur can be harvested.
Undercover footage taken from fur farms shows the animals in tiny wire cages, where they are abused and denied adequate food, water, and medical care. It is not clear which company is responsible for the mink farm in the footage below, but according to animal rights activists, these conditions are an industry standard.

truththeory--2020-03-02--This Dwarf Home For Seniors In Japan Is Straight Out Of A Fairy Tale

A couple of women residing in Japan renovating a retirement home might actually come as news to most people .
But they are doing so in the hopes of making it more live-able for the elderly .
This retirement home is shaped in the form of five huts that come together to build a giant home .
This structure is called the Jikka , and was designed by Japanese based architect Issei Suma , on the behest of Nobuko Suma- his mother .

Nobuko and her friend Sachiko had worked in the humanitarian sector for the last decade. But their biggest worry was who would look after them when they needed support? This is precisely why they asked Nobuko’s son to build a retirement home that would serve their needs well. Jikka is situated near Mt. Fujiyama, and since the 1980s has been a major retreat for people living in the urban-scape. Recently, this place has served as a prime location for retirement homes.
Since this home is going to shelter the elderly, the construction had to be different. There are no stairs in this home, and most of the baths are shaped in a spiral way- making it easy for wheelchair access. Suma mentions that the bath would not only make it easier for the elderly to cleanse themselves, but also serve as enjoyment for the kids. ‘A Universal design’- that’s his motto.
While the two women have permanently shifted into the homes, they are still working. The retirement home has a completely facilitated kitchen which they use to cook food for the other residents. Nobuko bakes the bread, while Sachiko cooks the food. They believe that they would be able to open it up to the public totally one day. But until then, they use the kitchen to make sure that the elderly are well fed.
The aging population is a major problem in Japan where most of the population is above the age of 50-60. According to a census report in 2018, almost 2 million people are over the age of 90, while close to 70000 people are nearing the age of 100. While they do have a problem on their hands, Japan knows how to care for their aging population. Their welfare system is based on a community model, and their amazing care model primarily focuses on removing the financial burden that families will have with a population that is aging at a tremendous rate.
The way the Japanese government cares for the elderly is completely practical. At the age of 65, any elderly person can appeal to the local government to take a test which will help evaluate what they need. Then, a supervisor would be assigned to them who would take them through the process whilst making sure that no extra burden is added to them. There are already several NGOs working in the major cities that take care of the elderly- and the community brotherhood that most societies share already helps them get on board with the welfare system.
For the two friends, the plan is simple- they want to exist independently in a period when they might need support. Issei’s design thus negates the possibility of things getting complicated- he built a hut that was in its purest state. Natural lighting fills the interior, and the high roof simply signifies the sky above.
