Introduction (2009): Despite several thousand years of failure to correctly
understand physical reality (hence the current postmodern
view that this is impossible) it is actually very simple to work out
how matter exists and moves about in Space.
The rules of Science
(Occam's Razor / Simplicity) and Metaphysics
(Dynamic Unity of Reality) require that reality be described from only
one substance existing, as Leibniz
wrote; 'Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the
interconnection of all things with one another'.
When we deduce
this most Simple Science Theory of Reality we find that there is only
one possible solution: Space must be the substance which exists and matter
is formed from waves in Space. The electron is a spherical standing wave
in Space. See Wave
Diagrams
i.e. While there are many minds and material things, they all exist in one
common Space (just look around you and think about it). We can then show
that the Wave Structure of Matter is the correct solution as it deduces
the fundamentals of Physics
& Philosophy
perfectly (there are no opinions).
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality
on the internet, but this solution is the most simple one and it is obvious
once known (though it takes time for our minds to adjust to new knowledge).
In hindsight the error was obvious - to try and describe an interconnected
reality from the foundation of many discrete and separate things, matter
'particles', which then required forces / fields to connect them in space
and time. This was always just a mathematical
solution which never explained how matter was connected across the universe.
For those who are religious
/ spiritual, I think Albert
Einstein expresses the enlightened view of God. He writes 'I believe
in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists,
not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.'
This harmony arises from a Wave Structure of Matter in Space (we are all
interconnected in this space that we all commonly experience). This unity
of reality (God, Brahman, Tao, Spirit, Energy, Light, Vibration) is central
to all major world religions, thus their common moral
foundation of 'Do unto others as to thyself' as the other is part of
the self.
In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a
revolutionary act. (George Orwell)
You must be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mohandas Gandhi)
All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing.

Naturopathy
The word naturopathy comes from Greek and Latin and literally
translates as "nature disease."
Naturopathy is a whole medical
system that originated in Europe. It aims to support the body's
ability to heal itself through the use of dietary and lifestyle changes
together with CAM (complementary alternative medicine) therapies such
as herbs, massage, and joint manipulation. The emphasis is on supporting
health rather than combating disease.
Main Ideas
The practice of naturopathy is based on six key principles:
1. Promote the healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae)
2. First do no harm. Minimise harmful side effects and do not suppress
symptoms.
3. Treat the whole person. Practitioners believe a person's health is affected
by many factors, such as physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental,
and social ones. Practitioners consider all these factors.
4. Treat the cause. Practitioners seek to identify and treat the causes of
a disease or condition, rather than its symptoms. Symptoms
are signs that the body is trying to fight disease, adapt to it, or recover
from it.
5. Prevention is the best cure. Practitioners teach healthy ways of living
that are most likely to prevent illness.
6. The physician is a teacher. Patients are educated to take responsibility
for their own health.
Brief History
Naturopathic health care is founded on approaches that were popular in Europe,
especially in Germany, in the 19th century.
Naturopathy was named and popularized in the United States by
Benedict Lust, who was born in Germany in the late 1800s. When Lust became
seriously
ill
with tuberculosis, he was treated by a priest
and healer in Germany named Sebastian Kneipp. Kneipp's treatment was based
on:
* Hydrotherapy (water treatments).
* The "nature cure" movement, which
focused on restoring health through a return to nature. This movement advocated
therapies such as gentle exercise, herbal medications, wholesome dietary approaches,
and exposure to sun and air.
Lust found his health much improved from Kneipp's treatment, and
when he immigrated to the United States at the turn of the 20th century,
he was dedicated to popularizing it. He gave it the name naturopathy, led
the way in developing it as a medical system in the United States, and
founded the first naturopathic college and professional association.

Naturopathic Treatment for Ear Pain in Children
In the past 2 decades, there has been a substantial increase in the diagnosis
of otitis media worldwide. In the United States, 93% of all children have
had at least 1 episode of acute otitis media (AOM) by 7 years of age.
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy and tolerability of
naturopathic versus traditional treatment for the management of otalgia
commonly associated with AOM in children.
The study showed each group had a statistically significant improvement in ear
pain over the course of the 3 days. This suggests that in cases of ear
pain caused by AOM in children in which active treatment,
besides
a simple
2- to 3-day waiting
period,
is needed, an herbal extract solution may be beneficial. Concomitant
antibiotic treatment is apparently not contributory.

"When
forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially
extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning.
... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions
is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres
of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that
no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without
a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined
to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm
and the misguided. ... Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking
if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein
realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe
- the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the
intuitions of the ancient
philosophers and mystics.

Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.
