Question
Greetings, My name is Larry Thomas and I am an American living in Wiesbaden, Germany. I am currently looking for someone within the religious and the academic community to review several works that I have put together.

The total work itself is a combination of several fields such as, neurology, cosmology, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, Astronomy, Religion, History, etc… just to name a few in advance. I only ask those who are willing to review this work so that if any are kind enough to offer feedback to some of the theories contained within it then, it would be appreciated.

The written work is posted on a free website which has its annoying adds, so pop-up blockers should be set at max on your web-browser to avoid them. The address of the material is posted at www.ascensionq.20fr.com or it can be Googled under the title “Ascension Q”.

Anyone within the academic community that reviews it need only to read the hyperlinked titles (each are separate pages)  at the bottom of the home page and several linked pages in the menu of the homepage starting with “The Wedding” down to “The Harvest Season” to get a sense of what is involved in the work itself.

Each page has its own hyperlinked words which link to “Wikipedia” and hopefully in the future to the new “Citizendium”. Most information is correct and these links can be used to cross-check what I wrote about that subject when I used that specific word for any explanation or analogy.

The graphics used in most of the diagrams represent actual things and representations in computer model form. Several computer models are present in the site itself which are already in publication in science books today. Each diagram is accompanied by a descriptive paragraph which explains the diagram in more detail other than the story that the diagram presents itself when one studies it in a hieroglyphic way.

Several theories stick out in my mind and they do happen to form an “Image” (keyword) which are laid out on tracks of neurons. The Universe (also a hyperlinked title on the bottom of the homepage) as seen from a distance carries the same “Image” that is presently seen when examining the human neurons in the brain.

A computer model of the Observable Universe shows the galaxies and super-clusters of stars to be strung together in filaments that remarkably favor one another in appearance and design. When placed side by side to one another these patterns look as though they could connect to what is actually the design of the Observable Universe.  

Even though the representations are computer models the actual stained human neurons carry the same “Image”. This would seem to point out a interesting school of thought in regards to “The Big Bang” because it more than likely had a tremendous echo and the effect of it made a universe in the “Image” of neurons and the echo affect trickled down to our brains in a micro and macrocosm way of viewing it.

The Bang itself could be viewed as the birth of an all powerful thought that created the Heavens and the Earth which in turn is a living thought in the mind of God. Our thoughts seem to manifest themselves so in turn the giant filaments looking like neurons in the “Brane” (the mem”branes”in space-time) of the universe manifested itself that being the “Image” of God.

If anyone in the academic or religious community is humble enough to just view the diagrams to see the computer models and to see if there is any truth in the similarities in design are welcome to review them and offer feedback via the contact info posted in the menu on the homepage. All pages are linked to the homepage “Ascension Q” which should be referred to in case one gets lost in the pages.

Thank you for your time and I hope I can hear from any who read this.

Hi Larry Thomas,
Glad to read your mail.
I will look up your pages with interest.
Though i would not jump to any conclusions so early.
(from my point of view that is..)

Larry it might interest you in knowing that Hindu philosophy has many age old adages..ideas..
such as
1 - The holographic concept of the universe..there is this hindu idea that "as in the micro-cosm, so in the macro-cosm...& vice versa..
the words used are "chit-akash" / "ghat-akash" for micro-cosm...chit-akash means mind-space and ghat-akash measns same thing as "ghat" or "pot" signifyies the body / physical being and even mind-space by context and inference.

The real practice of this by ascetics was the "transference of the pain of the devotess on to themselves (as outside so inside)..as pain to others..like pain to oneself..
the other famous case being one cobbler-saint dipping into his pot of muddy watter and producing out of it a matching (but sadly missing) bangle ..one of a stolen pair..when the queens bangles were reported stolen!
The complete story is very interesting.

The culmination of this thought was the idea of "Tat-tvam asi" or "Iam god" as there could be no separate god at all in hindu thought.

Any such limitation would perforce "limit" an all pervading all encompassing reality we call as god!

2 - The hindus also say that the world is an illusion (maya) chiefly because it is a "Vikara" (distortion or wavelet) arising in the mind of the cosmic dreamer Brahma, of whose mind matter called "mahat" it is made of.
Mahat is the root matter (mula-prakriti) out of which all other elements and their phases and states derive, depending on Time.
The one and same god "creates" / "preserves" / "destroys" and is represented by the hindu trinity of Brahma-vishnu-mahesha.
In the vedas This god is androgyne again, because male and female are both dependent genders, one dependent on the other for its definition!
(he) is referred to as "it" when they say in the hiranya-grabha sukta...
"there was a time when even gods did not exist! for all thing existing now did not exist once! And then in that duration, it alone existed ..undifferentiated..what will we call it, how shall we worship it? (kasmai devaha havisha vidhema?) Grand and very scientefic ideas emerging way back in prehistory..

In a sense you are saying the same things with your neuron theory...i said i will hold my conclusion because "neurons" stuff is still too anthropomorphic and exclusive to earthly life...God is too all pervading to favour neurons alone!!
afterall there is life every where in the cosmos..(who are we to arrogate special unique status when we know there are 400 billions suns in our galaxy alone? To other life forms we may be like viruses!!

So ...welcome to the club.

For some reason larry, i find christians and muslims too tied down to prophets and jealous gods hungry for "converts"...their gods and prophets are too macho / angry / thundering / jealous / punishing ..to entertain grander wider visions such as the one you are discusing here..
You may be one of given few...
hope to hear from you more...but use my email...jupadhye_99@yahoo.com..
who knows, we may become good mail-friends like gene matlock and me...his name is spread everywhere on the web!
