Fill in the brackets with words or phrases that complete the ideas. 1. “NOTHING AND [ ] come in and out of bond infinite times in a finite [ ]." -- Summum 2. Before the material universe manifested there was [ ] [ ]. If there was NO THING (NOTHING), then it must have been possible for [ ] to be. If it is possible for NO THING to be, then it must be possible for [ ] to be -- all matter, "[ ]", all relativity -- all this must be possible. If there is All Possibility, then there must be the [ ] of the NO THING NOTHING). Chapter 2 Creation 2 SUMMUM: Sealed Except to the Open Mind Study Guide 3. "It is impossible for two things to join in harmony or discord without the presence of a [ ], for a '[ ]' must exist to [ ] them" -- the copulation generates [ ]. It is the [ ] of NOTHING and POSSIBILITY infinite times within this [ ] moment which is the [ ] of the cosmos and all subsequent [ ]. 4. "It takes the joining of [ ] to make one -- SUMMUM." 5. Although your [ ] and [ ] have determined the origin of the material universe, they are incapable of determining the [ ] just prior to the [ ] [ ]. This cannot be examined by [ ], because formulas use the [ ] of the [ ] [ ]. Just prior to the [ ] (singularity), "space-[ ]", and therefore "matter" did not [ ], so it is [ ] to make [ ] based upon the non-[ ] of these systems. To be totally correct one would have to say there was no [ ] just prior to the [ ] [ ], for [ ] did not exist. 6. Physicists who deal in [ ] mechanics state: "You cannot(objectively) observe something without changing it in the process." This statement is based upon what is termed the [ ] [ ], which means that when you observe one aspect of a thing (such as an electron), you are forever uncertain of any other aspect of the same thing. 7. The term [ ] is closely related to the term [ ]. 8. The Grand Principle of Creation embodies your [ ] OBSERVATION of [ ] Itself, in which the process of [ ] between NOTHING and [ ] produces the [ ] of Creation. This condition, in which the two grand opposites are poised in opposition to one another, results in [ ], the [ ] total of [ ]. 9. SUMMUM, created by the [ ] of NOTHING and [ ], is [ ], and may be considered and thought of as A [ ], INFINITE, [ ] [ ]. This MIND is the effect of [ ] "copulation", manifesting the qualities of nothingness and ([ ]) possibility. MATCHING EXERCISE Enter the number of the appropriate answer in the brackets in front of the description. There is one correct answer for each blank. [ ] Before the material universe manifested and before the BIG BANG there was [ ] It is impossible for two things to join in harmony or discord without the presence of a [ ] When you observe one aspect of a thing you are forever uncertain of that same thing. [ ] Possibilities is closely related to this term. [ ] The condition, in which the two grand opposites are poised in opposition to one another, results in Chapter 2 Creation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Copulating Probability Nothing SUMMUM Bond Uncertainty 3 SUMMUM: Sealed Except to the Open Mind Study Guide [ ] SUMMUM is created by this type of bond between NOTHING and POSSIBILITY. RESEARCH EXERCISE Type your answers within the brackets. Using the Systematic Law of Learning, apply the following Principles. 1. Within your mind create a state of nothingness, and at the same time establish an opposite state of all possibilities. a. Write a description of how you go back and forth between the state of nothing and all possibility in your mind. { } 2. Join two identical material objects together to make one. a. Describe in practical terms how the two identical material objects become one, yet still maintain their individuality. { } 3. Illustrate the impossibility that faces the physicists who try to examine the MOMENT just prior to the BIG BANG using formulas derived after the BIG BANG. a. Using any kind of object, destroy the object. Then, using only the destroyed object, try to destroy it again without recreating it. { } 4. Subjective observation is credited with being a factor of the Principle of Creation. This subjective observation is discussed on an infinite level in its relationship to the Grand Principle of Creation. a. Design and describe an experiment where, within your mind, you subjectively observe an idea and watch its creation. Describe your subjective observation of the idea and its creation. { } STUDY AND REVIEW QUESTIONS Formulate answers to these questions. Refer to both your text and your lecture notes.
