One Dimension - X - an imaginary line with no thickness
Two Dimensions - XY - a flat visual image with no depth. A picture
Three Dimensions - XYZ The three dimensional object with depth (space)
Four Dimensions - Time, which interacts with space to form the time space continuum
Mass - Something that physicists have not yet fully figured out what it is yet. It exists and it is made up primarily of something that is unknown. The physical substance of matter.
Heresy - any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs, customs, etc.
If you are reading this blog and wanting to change you have to first ask yourself why change? At this very moment in time you are perfect and complete in every way. Your neuromuscular system has adapted to your inputs of food and activity and your body has evolved to behave in an optimum manner for the world that you have created for yourself. There is no need to change as change does not make you better. The only thing that occurs is that fundamentally you don't change at all, your body just re-adapts to a new equilibrium state based upon the world you create for it.
Five years ago I weighed over 25o pounds (114 Kilos) had a 43 inch waist (109 cm), was on high blood pressure medication, and was being tested by the oxygen telemetry clinic for the potentially dangerous condition called sleep apnea. I was starting to develop the signs of mobility problems with my hips and knees showing the first signs of wear. I suffered from miagraine headaches that were a function of my high blood pressure. My sacroiliac joint was requiring constant adjustment by a chiropractor, as weighing 114 kilos distorted my skeletal motion. I was perfect and complete in every way. My genetics, lifestyle and time had took part in a grand ballet, and who I was at that moment in time was the encore. I was about to turn 40, acting like I was 20 and inhabiting a body that was about to turn 60.
The grand equation that had played out to get me to who I was is comprised of the following confluence of factors:
1> My genetics. The cumulative blessing and cumulative curse of my cumulative ancestry
2> My Diet. Years of eating highly nutritious food and trying to follow the dietary advice of experts
3> My Environment. Years of a sedentary lifestyle as an accountant living a modest middle class existence
4> Time. The fourth dimension that propelled my matter through the time space continuum.
The Present You = Your Genetics x Your Diet x Your Environment x The Passage of Time
Currently you are the embodiment of perfection and you have every reason to be proud of yourself.
Five years ago I realized I either changed or I would die an early death. I realized that I had control of the diet factors and the environmental factors, and survival required learning how to control those two factors. In three and a half years I had managed to get my weight down to 198 pounds (90 KG), and my waist down to 37 inches (94 cm). I had reached a healthy plateau where I was no longer afflicted with mobility problems, migraine headaches and high blood pressure so I decided it was time to take off on a backpacking trip to see my extended family in Herzegovina & Croatia.
It was during the trip that I had made the most startling discovery of all. We have the power to distort both the time and genetic variables. We cannot control time, we cannot control our genes. We can however re-roll the dice that Mother Nature gave us and remain as perfect as previously, but on a fundamental level different underlying basis.
To quote a Rush song "The more that things change. The more they stay the same"
Five years later I am as perfect as i was five years ago, however I am different. Somethings I have done over the past 18 months have given me a re-roll of Mother Nature's dice and a chance to be different. If I wanted to wait for a properly documented scientific explanation of what on earth happened to me I would be dead before I would get my explanation. The last 18 months were an accident that I have enjoyed. I have managed to distort how diet and environment were reacting with time and genetics.
I have started to learn and am still learning how to play God's Apprentice.
