Now, I began paper-shorting the DOW at 14021.95 and pulling at 12517.94 and then waiting for the inevitable burst upward to catch the retail crowd who will think "15,000!" and crush them as it crashes downward, with newly expedited short positions, toward 8,500-10,000 between fall and spring perhaps one might recapture the profit opportunities of the late 1990's and the of fall 1987, perhaps we can equal or surpass our 1987 and 1998-1999 profits. We saw signs both times which many market experts missed. I see them again now and have watched them since last fall, now I am playing them in-and-out, short and long. Why did my cousin and I see things the "experts" missed? How did we? What did we see? Things which when we told our "expert" friends, professional traders, they laughed at and lost jillions, we frowned and made more than they lost. They called what we saw, "no ‘evidence’ of anything but a prayer and a fantasy...' some fantasy, some prayer. Small signs other missed, which took as synchronistic, just as I saw the victory of the USA Olympic hockey team and a few other portents, as a sign of a Reagan massacre in the 1980 elections while everyone else said, "it is too close to call..." I made paper gentlemen's side bets of more than a year's salary, at 10-1 odds, which on paper looked like financial suicide, with nothing "evidential" to go on but my vision of synchronistic events. I won going away. Even a few days before the election the "experts" were saying, " ...too close to call..." some of our paper bets included margins of electoral votes and we swept those, yet in the town in which I represented as campaign chair, a mayor and 6 alderman we reversed a 7-1 Republican sitting aldermanic advantage and elected a mayor besides, while all around us experts of the democratic party were losing to underdog Republicans. How did that happen with "no evidence" in my rookie year as a campaign chair/consultant?

Jung saw in the phenomenon symbolism of psychic import to the person's to which they occurred ( Synchronicity). Many of them were portents and prophecies of some great accuracy. (See Jung's small book, Synchronicity for complete details) So concerned was he over the strange nature of what he called Synchronicity, that after discussing it with Einstein he asked for a clarification. Einstein's two answers to Jung's question was not inconsistent with his answer to Bohr concerning the nature of the Quantum, "God does not shoot dice with the universe...." To Jung he said at different times when asked by Jung, "It is God's way of staying anonymous," And, "It is just God's way of letting us know we are not alone."

Einstein, Gödel, and other "geniuses," (their genius, was a form of prophetic vision) saw the universe as a creation of The Divine Intellect, which was the Father of Mathematics and Physics, the master Mathematician, Professor, Engineer, Architect, Builder, of all that is, The God Head, whose every move was based on His establishment and use of the Laws of Physics, at least as far as the rare Enlightened, mind could ascertain.

In my own studies of Anthropology, encouraged at first by my growing agnosticism and short lived atheism, (Which atheism, upon reflection, I saw as a form of anti-intellectualism, given the laws of science and nature as well as the enlightenment given as a gift to a trusted few) I connected to the very odd and occasional infallibly accurate predictions I made, and used them in making intellectual wagers with friends and rivals, upon opinions, which were, by the odds impossible ones, unpopular and some not even occurring to others, specific details, and I never lost. I did not profit from the wagers, never accepting any money unless it was to be sent directly to a charity by the loser. I can list some of my more noted and publicized "prophecies" like my novel Lost Seasons, written in 1996-1998 as a novelette, and when rewritten as a novel re-copyrighted in 2003, which tracked some of my newsletter predictions from 1994-2004. Since many of them were written online, dates verified, read and commented upon, they are incontrovertible proofs of accuracy. My publicized views of the Elizabeth Smart incidents, down to the last detail, the Shooters in Washington, the Tsunami, having written about it two weeks before it occurred and prediction the number of fatalities, the Fallwell death, the Duke Un athletes innocence, the fate of their prosecutor and that of Paris Hilton's prosecutor and a bit later her judge, are a few of so many more it would take more than a 100 page diary of prophecies we have kept here at my office, including the deaths of otherwise healthy people, the healing of some of them and much, much more to tell even the most well known.

If one has knowledge of, and the ability to read and write in Archaic languages of Aramaic, Hebrew, Coptic, Greek and Latin, one can see through the carefully nurtured currently available translations of the New Testament (NT), then wide variety of choices for each word or phrase, give nuance, shade and color to a predetermined final manuscript. However, the true Gestalt is that over 5400 versions of the NT are now in custody of various officials and institutions. The earliest are from the 2nd and 3rd Centuries, and are copies of copies of copies, of copies of what originals, we know for sure, not. Stories within the four gospels approved by ancient bishops have been supplemented by new discoveries in 1945 (Nag Hammadi, more than 50 manuscripts of Lost Gospels) and 1947 (Dead Sea Scrolls). The Nag Hammadi, Lost Gospels show a somewhat different Jesus and a much different relationship between him and Mary Magdalene. They also appear to confirm the existence of the "Q" gospel as evidenced by the Gospel Of Thomas. That a creator exists seems a no-brainer for most scientists who have no rancor toward Him, as some deny His existence and then blame the non-existent God for the world's trouble's including the Holocaust. Whether or not Jesus shared Godhood, when one is able to read all the archaic languages, is open to question and interpretation-that he was at the least, a great prophet is not. What is also open to question is whether or not Jesus-Rabbi Yeshua, was a Christian, or a Messianic Jew and who really was the first Christian and the answer to that question begins and ends with what the real name of the religion we now have should have been called instead of Christianity, Paulianity.

Careful translations of the manuscripts with the native, archaic languages intact, reveals that when both Jesus and Paul spoke of the Chosen Ones, they were speaking of intellectuals with grace, those God had gifted with great minds and souls, to lead the people who were not so gifted. Men so Enlightened by God and gifted with an intellect of vast proportions, are the Chosen Ones, the prophets, those with both the humility to learn and the mind to absorb and deduct and see the future as clearly as the present, (and many cannot see, even as it unfolds before what is truly happening in the present). A good example of that are the present congress, administration, and those who support them and even many who do not. The Chosen Ones of God, if one carefully studies the words of Jesus and Paul, are far more often than not, the most Intelligent ones. Jesus and Paul were taking about the best and the brightest. It, is, however, good to keep in mind that emotion trumps intellect more often than not, so intellect alone is not the answer. A person in which high intellect mixed with empathy and selflessness, is more likely to be a Chosen One, then one who is less inclined or gifted in all of those areas.

Prophecy and The Cosmos
My theories concerning the nature of knowing the past, present and future of some matters, are at once complex and nonetheless, quite simple. They are much in the manner of the Elegant, simple unifying force, Einstein sought in vain most of his life, but which now seems more feasible than ever.

The Creator, Master Designer, and all of the above titles, in some still mysterious way, created the universe according to a master plan, which I, like Einstein, believe tied to an elegantly simple unifying principal OF Astro-Physics.

In Primary school, and then again in high school, I wrote a paper, not more than a page and one-half, which presumptuously, predicted that soon scientists would discover a new particle/wave/packet-(quanta) which never moved below the speed of light. I called it variously, the vehiculum/transportatus/transmitto (Latin for carry/transport/convey, because keeping in mind at the time and still today, I thought about Plato's theory of a stream of consciousness running through the universe which contains all knowledge, and those gifted to interpret/locate/translate, through means called Infused Contemplation, or Bestowed Enlightenment, can appropriate the knowledge on this cosmic conveyance belt. Together with that, I wondered what the physical properties of prayer were and how and by what means prayers are carried to God. Did it now known as the Tachyon, have anything to do with the conveyance belt, which Plato described? Recently scientists have initiated a Turbo Charge to light packets enabling them to exceed light-speed (see, Scientists Break The Speed of Light), http://www.itnews.com.au/News/47047,scientists-break-the-speed-of-light.aspx

Not so many years later when I began to study physics with increased fervor and in deep earnest, I discovered the entity called the Tachyon, which never travels below the speed of light, is capable of traveling back and forth in time. It certainly had a familiar ring to it. At the same time, I began to study the quantum, which sounded to me in synchronicity with Plato's Band of all knowledge traveling through the universe, and the ability of those few gifted ones, able to tap into it, along with the Hebrew belief that each generation God appoints 36 "unknown" prophets. Moreover, I began to formulate a theory of the functionality and vehicle for prayer delivery of prayer. If indeed, I mused, God did create the universe, as Einstein and others believed, and created and used Mathematics and His Laws of Physics in the effort, than I believed his vehicle would be very similar to what we now know as the internet-I now call it the Outernet in my new novel, presently in editing:
THE UNIVERSAL TRAVELERS AND WHY THEY WOULDN'T STAY HOME AND WASH THEIR DISHES
I also recall that Gödel said that God Created a universe in which time was a sort of mirage, and that it did not exist. This idea is similar to revelations of many religions. Gödel elucidated on his theory/analysis which called into question whether or not time, rather than merely being relative, could be said to exist at all. He figured that Einstein's equations, could describe a universe that was rotating rather than or in addition to expanding. In that case, any relationship between space and time might become confused, mathematically. "the existence of an objective lapse of time, means that reality consists of an infinity of layers of 'now' which came into existence successively. But, if simultaneity is something relative , each observer has his own set of 'nows' and none of those various layers can claim the prerogative of representing the objective lapse of time."

Therefore, Gödel said, that, in a space vehicle, round trip, traveling in a sufficiently wide curve, it would be possible to travel into any region of time, past. Present and future and back again. However, he said that would be absurd because then we could go visit and speak with younger versions of ourselves, or worse older versions come to visit younger us, (which prompted me to muse over 'ghosts' visions, premonitions, prophecies etc.). Boston U. Professor Palle Yourgrau in his book on the relationship between Einstein and Gödel, World Without Time, said that, Gödel made a "...powerful argument that if time travel is possible, time itself is not."
(Some of the above utilizes material from Walter Isaacson's, Einstein, His Life and Universe and other sources.)

Thus, my theory of prayer and myself (or you and yourself) using the Laws of Physics to go and come into the presence of God and He into mine (or yours). The Internet gave me the opportunity on air when a noted commentator, 'humorist' made sport of the idea of a "Guy in the sky," fielding billions of prayers and sorting them out is ridiculous and impossible. My reply, was, "like the Internet and email, is impossible, you mean, for both do exactly that, using the laws of physics..." He was flummoxed. I mentioned it to a friend a physicist and he said to me, "Between your logic and my discovering that the motivating/engine propelling the Quantum is not within the physical universe, as you predicted, has caused me to review my agnosticism, and I thank you for that... I think!" Meaning of course that when he comes out of the closet about now being a believer, it might be to his disadvantage in his scientific community, which appears to favor atheism. However, the result was that the engine outside the universe business, had converted many non-believers to at least searchers.

And So, What of; Bush, Ashcroft, Comey, Gonzales, Time/Space, The Nature and Efficacy of Prayer, God, Jesus And Astrophysics?
God, the God that appears to evade Organized religions, with their closed minded, ungodlike dogma, appears to be the Master of Irony in many things, and the irony which causes halt to some whose judgments were, because of their empathy and insight, shown not to be infallible, came no less powerful and unlikely by human judgment, in the case of John David Ashcroft, in the case of rejecting the Wiretapping Surveillance program, even though under great duress in several areas. He, despite his Fundamentalist religious orthodoxy, was far more a man than the entirety of the Democratic and Republican Congress and Administration. His belief, though we may find it odd and unintellectual posed no problem to his underlying conscience and strength of character. He simply said NO! to corruption of our Constitution, a thing the Congress and the administration could not restrain themselves away from their addictions to do, themselves. My prayers have been tied to my painting which can be viewed above and in greater size and detail at http://www.bagnoloart.com Once there, along top of homepage go to the button marked EXPERIMENTAL, click it, when reaching the page, scroll down four rows, on left see WELCOME TO VIRTUAL HADES.

That there is a Creator, to me, after my studies and Ford Foundation recipiency leading to a dual Masters Degree, one segment of which was in Cultural Anthropology (adding to a BA in Physical Anthro) is a foregone, scientific conclusion. The laws of science, the very nature of the Big Bang, so reflective of the Hindu model, Lavoisier and the Law of Conservation of Mass, Energy can Neither Be Created Nor Destroyed-The First Law of Thermo Dynamics. I will add that neither can life and that it is not just Jesus who returns, God or no God, it is all of us and to kill another human being is an action in contempt of God, nature, matter and the gift of life and such actions bring down upon us all who allow it, a curse, worse than death. The Prophet Jesus once said, "Be not afraid of those who merely kill the body, but of those whose kill both body and soul... ." We are matter, the same matter, according to Carl Sagan, as the stars and the cosmos. His words, though he claimed (falsely, I submit) to be an atheist, he was prophetically correct-we are matter and we neither can be created nor destroyed, our essense lives on past the death of the body. Whether or not there is a the sort of Heaven and Hell Organized Religions seem to hang their hopes upon, I cannot say, but I can say we are not destroyed when our husk deteriorates, but those who stand in contempt of congress, the courts, the laws, the tenets of humanity, as expressed in the Commandments and other attempts to seek out and identify moral behavioral truths, one thing seems certain, those who love to do evil things, will pay, one way or another, and not just here on this level of life.
Good Night and God Bless
