3 The Edwardsville Religious Center
4 Of Southern Illinois University
5 Stands with surveyor-certified mathematical exactitude
6 Symmetrically astride the true planet Earth’s
7 ‘‘90th’’
8 Western meridian of longitude.
9 The 40-foot diameter three-quarter sphere dome
10 Of the Religious Center
11 Is a transparent miniature Earth.
12 Our planet’s continents can be seen
13 Accurately outlined against the transparent blue oceans
14 As they would be seen by X rays
15 If one descended by elevator from Edwardsville
16 To the center of the real Earth
17 Always keeping Edwardsville directly overhead.
18 The continental shapes appear reversed
19 But soon become as easy to read as mirrored images.
21 World I---Water Ocean: Population areas are concentrated along the outermost blades of the continental propeller presenting the centrifugal pattern with no traffic at all at the Antarctic center. Half of humanity is in India and China (Kipling’s ‘‘East’’), 28 per cent in Europe (the ‘‘Far West’’), 10 per cent in Africa, and 12 per cent in the Americas.
22 The miniature Earth dome’s ‘‘90th’’ meridian West And the real Earth’s ‘‘90th’’ meridian West And their respective North-South polar axes, As well as Lhasa, Tibet, Bangladesh, and Calcutta On the real Earth’s ‘‘90th’’ meridian East, All lie in exactly the same geometrical plane Which vertically cleaves the tangent
24 World II---Air Ocean: The continents are assembled around the land mass instead of around the water mass. Ninety per cent of humanity can reach one another on the shortest great circle air routes without going near the oceans.
25 Edwardsville Miniature and the real Earth spheres.
26 All the polar great circles’
2728East-West meridional degree completions add to 180° ‘‘80’’ West continues beyond the poles as ‘‘100’’ East However only ‘‘90’’ West continues as ‘‘90’’ East And can be referred to combinedly as the ‘‘90th.’’
29The ‘‘90th’’ runs through the demographic center Not only of North America’s 9 per cent of humanity, But also through the integrated demographic center Of Russia and the Orient’s 60 per cent of humanity. Look north along the ‘‘90th’’ to two-thirds of all humanity. Look north and south along ‘‘90’’ to all humanity Existing less than five jet hours distance, Away overland from the ‘‘90th.’’
30 The ‘‘90th’’ is our planet’s great circle mainstreet
31 The ‘‘90th’’ meridian’s East and West hemispheres Are those which uniquely identified
32 Kipling’s ‘‘East is East, and West is West,’’ Which ‘‘twain’’ he said, shall ‘‘never meet.’’ But Kipling was thinking only of East-West ocean voyaging And the twelve-thousand watery miles distance That seemingly interposed six months’ travel Between the East and the West
33 As an insurmountable human multitudes barrier Only two-thirds of a century ago.
34 During the year 1961, three jet airplanes
35 Carried more passengers across the Atlantic
36 Than did the Queen Mary
37 In one-tenth of the crossing time
38 And at a competitively devastating cost reduction.
39 East-West, world oceans’ surface, passenger transportation Became obsolete overnight.
40 And with it withered all its East-West transcontinental Harbor-to-harbor railway interlinkage
41 As well as the transient travel and commerce significance Of all the world’s great harbor cities.
42 This economic demise of the world’s harbor cities Remains for the moment unrecognized because hidden By the convention and amusement industries’ momentum And far more importantly by the farm-into-cities migration Of the farm machinery displaced three-quarters of humanity Who until yesterday lived on and worked the world’s farms.
43 But now flying the ‘‘90th’’ over the North Pole
44 Ninety per cent of humanity can reach each other in half a day On the shortest great circle air routes
45 Without going near the Atlantic, Pacific, or Indian oceans.
46 Suddenly, the world’s oceans’ tortuous surfaces
4748Have become obsolete as the prime human intercourse medium.
49 Awareness of this brings us abruptly
50 To other epochal realizations such as discovery That in order to accomplish the now feasible task Of supporting all humanity at a sustained level That will permit every living being And all generations of them to come
51 Mutually and successfully to enjoy all the Earth--- Without depleting and despoiling resources
52 And without any human’s profiting at the expense of others, And without onerous interferences
53 With one another’s complex interpattemings Of individual freedoms and initiatives--- Vast quantities of extra-terrestrially emanating power Must be harnessed and safely distributed Around our Earth planet.
54 This vast energy is needed
55 To actuate the additional bio-industrial
56 Metabolic regeneration technology
57 Now eminently feasible, but not yet accomplished By the Earthians’ design revolution,
58 The realization of which total physical success
59 Is now mandatory upon humanity
60 If it is not only to survive
61 But is also to fulfill its cosmic function
62 As consciously competent and majorly responsible participants In local Universe’s regenerative problems solving.
63 To accomplish the bio-industrial metabolic regeneration While maintaining chemical balance in terrestrial ecology, While also accomplishing that system’s energy distribution,
64 There is no way of transporting large quantities of energy From here to there so swiftly and safely
65 As by ultra-high-voltage underground electrical networks. By comparison with the energy transporting capability Of ultra-high-voltage, long-distance,
66 Superconductive, underground electric power transmission Inaugurated and developed since 1961, Pipelines, supertankers, railway gondolas Are snail-rate pygmies, ergo economically obsolete.
6768The ‘‘90th’’ meridian is also central to the North-South Transarctic electric energy network integration Of the world’s people and their continents, Which will be accomplished first via Bering Strait And later by Arctic Ocean-bottom cables And later yet by beaming techniques.
69 The ‘‘90th’s’’ North and South broad skyway
7071Not only obsoletes the ages-long East-West travel, But it also inherently integrates humanity
72Even as humanity was heretofore mutually remote And inherently divided against itself by the oceans.
73Equally obsolete to the physical east-westing traffic Is the metaphysical practice of universal specialization Which characterizes not only all education But all business and bureaucracy as well.
74Specialization, unlike geographical isolation, Was arbitrarily imposed and humanly aggravated By the ‘‘divide-and-conquer’’ strategy
75 Paramount to the armed monarchs of yesterday.
7677Specialization was imposed by the monarchs Upon the 90 per cent illiterate world population To facilitate the monarch’s or ruling minority’s
78Minding everybody’s business, at large, While forcing all others subserviently To mind their own individual business, at small, Thus guaranteeing a general blindfolding of society Where the ruling minority’s own ambitions were to be gratified
79Only at the (slow or swift) mortal expense of the uninformed many.
80In the ‘‘90th’s’’ East-West to North-South reorientation of humanity
81 Evolution unexpectedly accomplishes
8283Both the mutual inter-advantaging of all humanity And its emancipation from its inherently self-divided East-West remoteness and selfishly emphatic history. This reorientation revolves centrally about
84The educational revolution of young world society Which is rejecting specialization while intuitively cultivating Its long dormant, innate synergetic comprehensions
85Of eternal generalized principles transcendentally governing The omni-inter-relevancy of all experiential phenomena Which invisible metaphysical revolution
86Is epochally abetted by the invisible electro-magnetic revolution
87In self-educative electronic search and retrieval of relevant video documentaries
88All of which non-violent revolution will eventuate in spontaneous universal cooperation
89Self-started by the common realization of the feasibility of total human success
90And its obviously sequitur peaceful acquisition procedures. Returning to the knowledge to be gained from it
91 We find the miniature Earth’s axis is exactly parallel to the real Earth’s
92 And the precise center of the Edwardsville miniature Earth Is only four thousand miles from the real Earth’s center. This distance is astronomically negligible Being less than one-billionth of the distance To our nearest star beyond the Sim.
93 When standing on the mobile observation platform
94 With eyes at the marked center
95 Of the miniature Earth’s North-South axis
96 The true celestial North star will be seen on a clear night Shining brightly at the miniature Earth’s north pole center And looking outwardly through the dome’s transparent shell, Any stars seen at any location on any of the continents or oceans
97 Are at that moment exactly in zenith
98 Over those very geographical points on the real Earth--- Which can be verified instantly by long-distance telephone. The Religious Center’s dome is a true planetarium.
99 A sense of orientation of each human individual Within the profound magnificence of Universe Is provided by the Religious Center’s miniature Earth.
100 One goes inside to go outside one’s self
101 And into the center of the Earth
102 And thence outward to the stars in seconds.
103 The Edwardsville Religious Center becomes at once
104 The cathedral of universal reality And cathedral of universal mystery In which is simultaneously revealed The macro-micro designing integrity Whose infinitely inclusive, detailed, and tireless
105106Concern and competence are o’erwhelming manifests Of the eternal, timeless, cosmically regenerative, Love-intellect governance of Universe
107Which inherently transcends human comprehension Because of the infinitesimally limited
108Locally and myopically over-emphatic experience inventory
109Always inadequately informing human consciousness and reason.
110 Einstein said, ‘‘What a faith in the orderliness of
111 Universe
112 Must have inspired Kepler
113 To spend the nights of his life alone with the stars,’’
114 Which inadvertently revealed Einstein’s own faith
115 And that of the billions before him
116 In the integrity of Universe
117 Which has ever inspired humans
118 To commit themselves in all-out love,
119 Hopeful thereby of increasing human understanding
120 Of the a priori mystery
121 Of the ever comprehensively embracing
122 Yet micro-cosmically permeating
123 Omni-exquisitely concerned
124 Eternal Integrity.
