who is an individual and what is a group?
The individual is the focal point of the US Constitution and the entire purpose for the formation of the United States. We find here a formally written definition decided upon and accepted by individuals long before any of us. Therefore, we will use their definition as being the more legitimate definition since we live in this country under the law of that single one Consititution. An individual is one person alone who has rights not given by any one man, but by God or in our definition since they are one in the same, Existence. This definition cannot be evolved into anything else in any way without being a violation, and a right denied, which is a criminal act in violation of the civil right of the individual in the Constitutional definition. Anyone believing this, without any detailed elaboration, can be said in today's political climate to be generally a conservative. Conservative viewpoint can deviate from this whenever they, or anyone else, use certain rights, for instance States Rights, to mask the suppression of any other single individual right, such as the right to vote. States Rights are real and legitimate but become illegitimate whenever any legitimate right is used to cancel any other legitimate right all individuals are entitled to under the Constitutional definition of an individual. This should be self evident to everyone, even those under the burden of convoluted logic used to arrive at a predetermined point. So now we have penciled in our definition of an individual. Next we arrive at the most contentious individual to define, the group individual. What are their rights?

only two kinds of people
If you want to examine any subject it is a good
method to divide it in two. Say we want to examine ourselves, and everyone else.
It is difficult to examine one selves, but it can be done. Start by
dividing people in two. All individuals need to be part of a group to survive
and all groups need individuals to survive. So we might say then that there are
two kinds of people. Individuals thinking as an individual in the group,
and individuals who think as individuals for the group. As if in
algebra, we work back to the simple and then back out again to the complex so we
then reduce our paradigm as much as we can. This leaves us with a individual in
a group and a group in an individual or, the individual and the group
individual. We have to have a premise to start. If you can agree with this
so far, you should be able to see where this is going. Once we start out with a
premise it usually determines where one is going to end up. So we have to make sure our
premise will not cave in us down the road. Next we have to define the terms of
our premise. We've partially done this already but now we do it in detail to
reduce it to the simple. All ideas, even simple ones, must revert to the simple
before proceeding to the complex. So the next question is, who is an individual
and what is a group? Perhaps we should let a day settle all this up to this
point to reassure ourselves it is valid.

fumbling imaginations
Arthur Koestler, in selecting his theme for the Sleepwalkers, felt the great astronomers of the past made their discoveries as much by fumbling their way through imagination and intuition as by experiments in a laboratory. This idea of intuition suggests a source. A source that is by definition within existence and comes from out of existence, revealing imaginations about the source of those imaginations through us. It is as though we were created to study existence. This same observation has been over heard in other contexts, made by scientists studying the atom. It all fits together someway as yet not fully known, as when Kepler discovered God was a mathematician and that the harmony of the spheres was a mathematical harmony.

simple and the complex
Every discipline has it's own lingo, from the street loiterers to the tenured professors wandering in the academic pasture. This lingo is designed to keep outsiders out and insiders in. Physicists of all stripes use words that if defined naturally and without obtuse elaborations would make access to their debates open rather than closed as they prefer. One really only needs a simple dictionary to their slang. It is a distinct possibility these elaborate concepts are more art than anything else. If something is too complex it is probably orbiting out of useful sight. The complex comes from the simple. It is the simple that is difficult, the complex is easy as a juggler's dream.

binaries in prediction
In order to achieve a direction in any force it is necessary, it appears, to establish a binary model to encircle the effort. This is basic and the unseen spiritual aspect of this theory is garnered from the observed idea of any subject of any size and power effecting or being effected by another similar entity. Since this model is present in so man instances we encounter, it might be concluded that the same model can be used in prediction as well as in establishing an understanding of the entities of our concern. To be continued....

ballast seeking balance
Whatever we present outside we are generally to varying degrees are the opposite deep inside. The reason this is true is because we can not help but speak from our own perspectives and for our own benefit. The reason that is true is because the incentive to speak is always to maintain a balance between our spirit within and our presentation of self without so that we will not sink. This is a theory in consideration.
