Saint Francis of Assisi and a Coming Little Ice Age

What are the sun, the moon, stars, wind and air, and clouds and storms, and all the weather, fire, the earth, and bodily death to followers of Christ Jesus?

They must be all holy, since they are created by God even if Satan, devils, sinful spirits and souls could also enjoy them, too.

Most high, all powerful, all good Lord! 

All praise is Yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing. 

To You, alone, Most High, do they belong. 

No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your name. 

Be praised, my Lord, through all Your creatures, 

especially through my lord Brother Sun, 

who brings the day; and You give light through him. 

And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor! 

Of You, Most High, he bears the likeness. 

Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; 

in the heavens You have made them bright, precious and beautiful. 

Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air, 

and clouds and storms, and all the weather, 

through which You give Your creatures sustenance. 

Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Water; 

she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure. 

Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire, 

through whom You brighten the night. 

He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong. 

Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth, 

who feeds us and rules us, 

and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs. 

Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of You; 

through those who endure sickness and trial. 

Happy those who endure in peace, 

for by You, Most High, they will be crowned. 

Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Bodily Death, 

from whose embrace no living person can escape. 

Woe to those who die in mortal sin! 

Happy those she finds doing Your most holy will. 

The second death can do no harm to them. 

Praise and bless my Lord, and give thanks, 

and serve Him with great humility. 

The "Canticle of the Sun", also known as the "Laudes Creaturarum" ("Praise of the Creatures"), is a religious song composed by Saint Francis of Assisi. 

The "Canticle of the Sun" in its praise of God thanks Him for such creations as "Brother Fire" and "Sister Water". It is an affirmation of Francis' personal theology as he often referred to animals as brothers and sisters to Mankind, rejected material accumulation and sensual comforts in favor of "Lady Poverty". 

Saint Francis is said to have composed most of the canticle in late 1224 while recovering from an illness at San Damiano, in a small cottage that had been built for him by Saint Clare and other women of her order.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canticle_of_the_Sun 

You cannot praise God through churches, castles, estates, mansion houses, modern buildings, cars, jet planes, TV sets, computers, cell phones, e-mails, the Internet,  modern weapons, nuclear energy, and any other industrial products.

You cannot especially praise God through gold, silver, diamond, and other treasures in addition to financial assets, either.

So, the last status of mankind should be that everybody becomes a kind of  Saint Francis of Assisi.

But, say, 1000 years later from today, will the earth be filled with people like Saint Francis of Assisi?  If not, and if no such a possibility is confirmed in these years or within 10 to 20 years, human beings might start to follow a path toward extinction.

I mean that a glacial age might be coming soon if it is a Little Ice Age.

7 March 2013 – The Little Ice Age should be the story of the century, yet it's only being announced quietly by climate scientists and solar physicists. Not a word is being mentioned by the mainstream media, who had a hand in selling the Global Warming propaganda that has become irrelevant as we slide into colder climate. 

US solar scientists have announced years ago that the sun appears to be headed into a lengthly spell of low activity, which means that the Earth is far from facing a Global Warming catastrophe and actually headed into a Little Ice Age. 

According to geophysicist Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera at the University of Mexico, in about 5 years the “Earth will enter a “Little Ice Age” which will last from 60 to 80 years and may be caused by the decrease in solar activity.” 

The geophysicist slammed the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), saying their stand on global warming “is incorrect because only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity”. 

We're already seeing and feeling the signs of the Little Ice Age, the article continues.
http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/03/little-ice-age-is-coming-in-2014-2585776.html 

http://iceagenow.info/2013/05/ice-age-coming-2014/

According to scientific research, the last glacial age ended 10,000 years ago and we are now in a typical inter-glacial period that is to last 12,000 years.

However, a Little Ice Age seems to occur more often, since there was no summer in 1816.

The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer because of severe summer climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1.3 °F). 

This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.Evidence suggests that the anomaly was caused by a combination of a historic low in solar activity with a volcanic winter event, the latter caused by a succession of major volcanic eruptions capped by the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), the largest known eruption in over 1,300 years. The Little Ice Age, then in its concluding decades, may also have been a factor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer 

The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period (Medieval Climate Optimum). 

While it was not a true ice age, the term was introduced into the scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939.[2] It has been conventionally defined as a period extending from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries,[3][4][5] or alternatively, from about 1350 to about 1850,[6] though climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of this period, which varied according to local conditions. NASA defines the term as a cold period between AD 1550 and 1850 and notes three particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, each separated by intervals of slight warming.[7]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Ice_Age

Anyway, God is the Creator of the universe and the earth.  He can interfere with the nature at any moment if we deserve such salvation.

So, you have to check and study the Bible to pray to God and Christ Jesus, since ILA might be near.

"because of their unbelief" - Memory of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

Shinjuku, Tokyo

Memory of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

The mother of the wife of President John F. Kennedy was not a simple figure.

Janet Norton Lee (December 3, 1907 – July 22, 1989) was an American socialite. She was the mother of former United States First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Lee Radziwill. She often stood in for her daughter Jacqueline as hostess for official White House functions. She was the mother-in-law of United States President John F. Kennedy.

Lee was married three times. Her first husband was John Vernou "Black Jack" Bouvier III. They were married on July 7, 1928, and had two daughters: Jacqueline Lee "Jackie" Bouvier (July 28, 1929 — May 19, 1994) and Caroline Lee Bouvier (born March 3, 1933). Bouvier's womanizing and drinking led to a separation in 1936, a brief reconciliation for a few months in 1937, and then a divorce in 1940. 

Lee's second husband was Hugh Dudley Auchincloss, Jr., an attorney and Standard Oil heir; she was his third wife. They were married on June 21, 1942,[5] and had two children: Janet Jennings Auchincloss (1945—1985) and James Lee Auchincloss, born in 1947.[6]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Lee_Bouvier

Hugh Dudley Auchincloss was a relative of the Vanderbilt family who controlled the US railroad sector as .a sworn friend of Morgan. Auchincloss was also related to the owner of Tiffany & Co. by marriage.

When JFK was a US Senator, he and his wife Jacqueline were invited to a party held in a luxury ship owned by Aristotle Socrates Onassis.  Greek maritime-trade tycoon Onassis introduced the couple to Sir Winston Churchill. 

The background was that Rockefeller was at the time competing with Onassis over hegemony over ocean transport of crude oil.  So, Rockefeller sent Senator JFK to Greece to persuade the father of the then wife of Onassis to help Rockefeller's business, since this old Greek gained control of the Greek marine transportation while his son-in-law Onassis was at odds with Rockefeller and even at Churchill.

After JFK assumed office of US Presidency, King of Saudi Arabia Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a friend of Onassis, was forced to step down by his younger brother Faisal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. Under the new king, Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani took office of Minister of Oil (Petroleum) and Mineral Resources while joining Rockefeller's ARAMCO as a director.

Meanwhile, Onassis came to associate with another daughter of Janet Norton Lee or a younger sister of Jacqueline, namely Caroline Lee Bouvier. However, Caroline Lee Bouvier had the husband who was a secretary of Winthrop Williams Aldrich, a brother-in-law of John D. Rockefeller II.

And finally in 1968 Jacqueline Lee (Bouvier) Kennedy married Onassis, since JFK was assassinated in 1963.

So, it might not be so weird to think that there was a shadow of Rockefeller behind the tragedy of JFK.  It is so, since Rockefeller and Onassis seem to have secured their interest over the death of JFK.

"the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath" - Goldfish Bowl and Our Universe

Before Entering Pre-Midsummer Rainy Season around Tokyo

Goldfish Bowl and Our Universe

Everybody knows that this universe is not infinitely large.  It has a finite size: a sphere with a radius of 46.5 billion light years.

No matter how large this universe is, it is a kind of a fish bowl, since it has a finite size.

Then what is outside this fish bowl?  As there is usually a keeper of fish and the fish bowl outside the bowl, there must be somebody who keeps this fish-bowl universe.

It is very natural for us, a kind of gold fish in the bowl, to call him God.  Then what world is it?  What is outside this universe?  How God behaves there?  And isn't the world outside our universe also a kind of fish bowl?  Then what is outside it?  Can there be another God for God to us?

Another question is why God created this universe or the fish bowl to eventually create mankind.   From emergence of vacuum energy and space and time, which occurred 13.8 billion years ago, to creation of stars and our galaxy through the Inflation of the very small, microscopic incipient universe and the Big Bang is a long and complicated process.  Further, from the creation of our galaxy to the creation of our solar system is also a long and complicated process.  And from the formation of the earth to evolution of living things to mankind is a very long way taking 4.5 billion years.

Why did God have to take such a complicated process to create mankind with higher intelligence and special spirits?

Why was God not satisfied only to see battles between God's angels and Satan in the spiritual sphere?  Why did He need this material world for this spiritual war between good and evil?

We have to think this way, because the only reason we can think for which God created this universe must be to set up the battle field between good and evil or good spirits and bad spirits.

One thing true is that our mind and spirit cannot be expressed with any combinations of elemental particles, atoms, and molecules.  It is like a phenomenon of work of force, such as electromagnetic force.  Like a flash of lighting that runs from a cloud in the sky to the earth, our mind and soul works and exists.  It is apparently energy taking a special form inside our brain.  But our mind is so real and manifest to ourselves.  It really exists so steadily, though our science cannot yet show its concrete physical form and pattern to us.  

However, a lesson is simple.

As we can observe fish in a goldfish bowl, God must be observing human beings in the universe, since both the bowl and the universe are finite.

And, more terrible is that our mind and soul must be also observed and checked by God.

Q:
Is it true that God sees what is in our hearts and minds and what our motives are if they are good or evil?
God know it all what man is made of inside and sees everything we are made of, and we cannot hide anything from God...
We may be fooling man,but none of us can fool God... 

A:
Sasi answered 2 years ago
Yes. In 1 Kings 8:39 we are told about God, "For you alone know the hearts of all men". 'Heart' is symbolic of our deepest, inner being - the real us, not what others observe about us.  

Psalm 7:9 tells us that God searches minds and hearts.  

Now, here's the amazing bit! Jesus also reads minds and hearts! Read John 20:24-31 to see that, plus Luke 9:47, Mat. 9:4 & 12:25. Jesus told us that there is nothing hidden that will not be exposed - Mat 10:26. That is why all judging has been committed to the Son, by the Father, for the Son sees everything the Father does and agrees with everything the Father says. "I and the Father are one."
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120901080301AAnF6kP

Nonetheless we may be puzzled about the super-structure of the material universe, the outer universe, the spiritual universe, and eternity.

The Divine Comedy is an epic poem written by Dante Alighieri between c. 1308 and his death in 1321. It is widely considered the preeminent work of Italian literature,[1] and is seen as one of the greatest works of world literature.[2] The poem's imaginative and allegorical vision of the afterlife is representative of the medieval world-view as it had developed in the Western Church by the 14th century. It helped establish the Tuscan dialect, in which it is written, as the standardized Italian language.[3] It is divided into three parts: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. 

On the surface, the poem describes Dante's travels through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven;[4] but at a deeper level, it represents allegorically the soul's journey towards God.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_Comedy   

https://www2.bc.edu/gregory-kane-2/dante3.html

Probably, outside our material universe or the great fish bowl, there is nothing material.  But only the spiritual universe must exist.  And there concepts of a universe, structure, and eternity must be very different from what we think about them in this material universe or the great fish bowl with full of stars.

Finally life and love are the key to understanding motivation of God to take these complicated processes up to the birth of you.

"thine alms may be in secret" - Hit by the Globe

Rice Fields around Tokyo

Hit by the Globe

One night I was watching a small and orange ladybug clinging to a big leaf of a small house plant I arranged to enjoy its leaves.

The plant was put in a coffee cup placed on the floor, or I had put it there a few years ago.  This tropical plant had survived two winters while I only poured water in it once a month or so without taking any other care.  And, at the night I happened to find a small and orange ladybug clinging to one of its big leaves.  It moved to the tip of the leaf when I checked it later.

I don't like to have any living things in my room.  But as the insect looked so harmless, I decided not to do anything with it.  However, I moved the vase or the coffee cup on the floor closer to the window to have the plant absorb more sun light in the day.

A few hours later I wanted to move a terrestrial globe put on a book shelf placed near the window, since I was tidying up book shelves and book boxes in my room in these days.  At the same time, I wanted to more open the window as it felt stifling.

But the moment I opened the window wider and pushed a curtain around, the globe fell from the book shelf so suddenly that I could not catch it at all.  The globe hit the leafy plant and the coffee cup keeping the plant inside.  They fell sidelong on the floor.  I soon checked the bug only in vain.  It wasn't on the big leaf now touching the floor.  So, I  raised the coffee cup and the plant to find a speck on the floor, a little orange.  I took it into a Kleenex to confirm it was the ladybug crushed by the globe when it fell from the book shelf.

I knew that God took life from the bug.  But why?

He taught me that my life is always in His hand.  And instead of taking my life on this occasion, He took it from the small and orange bug.

But it looked like a miracle that the globe could correctly hit the bug on the tip of the leaf while giving no chances to the bug so that the poor insect could just run or fly away before it sensed the falling globe on it.

This is a story of a small and orange ladybug hit by the globe.

"Is not this the carpenter" - Heated Water from Nuclear Plants Causing Global Warming

Prime Minister's Office, Tokyo

Heated Water from Nuclear Plants Causing Global Warming

A total amount of nuclear power plant output has been steadily increasing globally, though now all the 50 nuclear reactors in Japan are stopped due to a result of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident of 2011.

http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/EE_Another_drop_in_nuclear_generation_0505102.html

A nuclear reactor uses only one third of heat it generates for electricity generation while the rest of two thirds of heat is discarded into a river, a sea, and the atmosphere.  As there are 440 nuclear reactors for electricity generation in the world today, the total amount of heat being discharged to the atmosphere in the earth must be great enough to contribute to global warming, especially in the north hemisphere.

http://forums.canadiancontent.net/climate-change/68017-our-cooling-world-13.html

Northern hemisphere (red line) and Southern hemisphere, 1880-2009. Last year was the hottest ever recorded in the south.

 http://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/2620

So, the trend of the global temperature rising is almost proportional to the trend of increase in output of electricity and waste heat from nuclear power plants.

Scientists argue however that the effect of this waste heat from nuclear power plants on a temperature rise in oceans is 5,000 times smaller than the effect of the sun.  But heated water from a nuclear power plant floats and diffuses on the surface of a sea, thus affecting the air above the sea more efficiently than the heat from the sun that penetrates 100 meters deep into the sea.

There are some proofs in Japan that temperature of the sea around Japan got 2 centigrade degrees lower off Akita Prefecture and 2.9 centigrade degrees lower off Hokkaido after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident and the subsequent halt of all the nuclear power plants in Japan.  And as a result of fixed-point observation in seas around Japan, the temperature rise in the Sea of Japan is three times larger than that in the Pacific Ocean, since a higher concentration of nuclear power plants is observed on the Sea of Japan than on the Pacific.

http://www.synapse.ne.jp/peace/shibohyotyaku.html

The above figure shows that heated waste water from a Japanese nuclear power plant is adversely impacting even fish and other marine lives.  A Japanese anti-nuclear scientist calls a nuclear power plant a "machine to heat the sea."

BBC predicted in 2007 that ice in the Arctic Sea would completely disappear by 2013.  But the ice covered are in the Arctic Sea expanded in the winter of 2013 while all the 50 nuclear reactors in Japan were halted.

Of course, not only nuclear power plants but also thermal electric power plants using coal, gas, or oil also contribute to an increase in atmospheric temperature.  It is estimated energy output from a power plant loses 5% of it while being sent through grids.  This loss very directly contributes to an increase in temperature in the surrounding air.  But even electricity energy being carried to its destination for final use is also a factor for global warming in a larger scope.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_generation


Different from indirect mechanism of atmospheric warming by CO2, electricity energy generated and distributed from power generation plants contributes directly to temperature rise of the earth due to the simple physical law called the energy conservation law.  Whatever final use of electricity provided by power plants, it surely results in heat being discharged to the air through any equipment, machines, and systems eventually and thus an increase in temperature.

Of course, output of CO2 is ever increasing due to continued economic and industrial activities of human beings (especially including those accelerated in China).  However CO2 is a gas that is not a primary source of heat.

 http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/global.html

The data of CO2 increase had better be regraded as indicating status of use of fuels for power generation in addition to use of cars and other vehicles.  As the figure of "Annual electricity net generation in the world" shows, indeed use of fossil fuels has been growing along with the upward trend of the global temperature as seen in the above figures related to the temperature rise.

The key truth is that energy released or consumed in the world causes eventually an increase in atmospheric temperature in the earth regardless of existence of CO2.  

To stop global warming, we have to stop use of electricity whether it is generated by use of uranium, coal, oil, wind, sunlight, hydraulic power, or any other resources.

Japan after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident is proving it.

That is why France has the largest nuclear energy industry next to the US.  As stated above, even Maria Skłodowska-Curie, one of the first scientists who developed radiation science, had a strong tie with Rothschild.

From 1912 to 1926, over 100 tonnes of crystals of radioactive minerals were shipped from Madagascar to France. The enterprise involved three important people: the indefatigable Professor Alfred Lacroix, who discovered these minerals in material donated to museum collections, the doctor and heir to family fortunes, Henri de Rothschild, who funded a refinery to treat them, and the scientist and humanitarian, Mme Marie Curie, who researched the product of this refinery, namely radium. First intended for medical purposes, in World War I, radium from Madagascar crystals was mainly used to illuminate dials in armored vehicles. After Armistice, it was employed in cancer treatment and research. However, in the 1920s, owing to access to more easily processed ore, the commodity price fell, along with France's import of crystals. By the end of 1926, after a fifteen-year struggle, the once-promising experiment failed; mining and shipment of radioactive crystals ceased.

However, power of Rothschild has been more stretched beyond the nuclear industry and the banking industry.

By the mid-1890s Freemason Cecil Rhodes launched the Diamond Syndicate, whose successor Central Selling Organization still monopolizes the global diamond trade. Rhodes’ forays were financed by the Rothschild family. 

In November 1997, when Baron Edmond Rothschild died in Geneva, he left in his trust substantial holdings in De Beers. 

According to former British Intelligence officer John Coleman, author of The Committee of 300, “Rhodes was principal agent for the Rothschilds…who dispossessed the South African Boers of their birthright, the gold and diamonds that lay beneath their soil.”

The super-rich Judaist family still boast of their position in the material world.

Seven generations 

As brokers and financiers, as bankers to royal houses and governments, as railway magnates, politicians, personalities, patrons and philantropists, the Rothschilds have never forgotten how to "walk with Kings - nor lost the common touch". 

The Rothschilds have thus remained united in every endeavour, from the creation of De Beers and the financing of Royal Dutch to the privatisation of the Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas. Today, the family's British, French and Swiss institutions and their subsidiaries, especially along the Pacific Rim, have matched their skills to the new requirements of venture capital and financial engineering.

Indeed the success story of Rothschild began almost at the same time when the US gained independence from the UK in 1770s.

"because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration" - Rothschild, Kennedy, Churchill and Ford

National Diet Bldg., Tokyo

Rothschild, Kennedy, Churchill and Ford

Once it was and it may be still a small world for super-rich people.

We can even see a linkage between Rothschild, Kennedy,  Churchill and Ford.


Rudulf Goldschmidt-Rothschild (1881-1962), a member of the Rothschild family in Frankfurt,  married Marie Friedländer-Fuld (1892-1973).

Marie's former husband was John F Mitford who had a niece named Deborah.

Deborah Mitford (1920 -) married Andrew Cavendish (1920 - 2004), 11th Duke of Devonshire and a British Conservative and later Social Democratic Party politician, who had brother William.

William Cavendish (1917 – 1944), an English politician, married Kathleen Kennedy (1920 - 1948), a sister of John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963).

Jacqueline Lee (Bouvier) Kennedy (1929 - 1994) remarried, in 1968, Aristotle Socrates Onassis (1906 – 1975), a prominent Greek Argentine shipping magnate.

Aristotle Onassis' former wife was Athina Mary Livanos (1929 – 1974).

Athina Mary Livanos remarried John George Vanderbilt Henry Spencer-Churchill (1926 -), 11th Duke of Marlborough and a generational cousin of the war-time Conservative Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill.

Athina Mary Livanos also remarried Stavros Spyros Niarchos (1909 – 1996), a Greek shipping tycoon and multi-billionaire.

One of Stavros Spyros Niarchos' former wife was Charlotte M. Ford (1941 -), a daughter of Henry Ford II (1917—1987).

That is why Christ Jesus forbade divorce, from the beginning.

In addition, it should be also noted that JFK's father Joseph Patrick "Joe" Kennedy, Sr. (1888 – 1969) was, during World War I, an assistant general manager of a Boston area Bethlehem Steel shipyard, through which he developed a friendship with Franklin D. Roosevelt, then Assistant Secretary of the Navy.  Therefore, it might not be so weird that Jacqueline Lee (Bouvier) Kennedy remarried Aristotle Onassis related to  shipping business.

Incidentally, Joe Kennedy served as the United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1938 until late 1940, including the early part of World War II, while his granddaughter Caroline Bouvier Kennedy (1957 -) is now the US Ambassador to Japan since 2013.

Wealth should not be married with politics, either.

Act 6:4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

"we are members of his body" - Quantum Entanglement and Another Dimension

Quantum Entanglement and Another Dimension

What is seen is a result of what cannot be seen.

There is a phenomenon called entanglement.

 For example, if a pair of particles is generated in such a way that their total spin is known to be zero, and one particle is found to have clockwise spin on a certain axis, then the spin of the other particle, measured on the same axis, will be found to be counterclockwise. Because of the nature of quantum measurement, however, this behavior gives rise to effects that can appear paradoxical: any measurement of a property of a particle can be seen as acting on that particle (e.g. by collapsing a number of superimposed states); and in the case of entangled particles, such action must be on the entangled system as a whole. It thus appears that one particle of an entangled pair "knows" what measurement has been performed on the other, and with what outcome, even though there is no known means for such information to be communicated between the particles, which at the time of measurement may be separated by arbitrarily large distances.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

Such a phenomenon can be explained by assuming a new axis in coordinates of an elemental particle.

 No matter how long the distance between a and b is, if the two particles P1 and P2 are entangled, they share the same value "c" indicating a quantum state.

If P1 is on the earth and P2 is on the moon, they are still entangled through the quantum-coordinate "c."

If "c" means a state of the spin, P1's having an upward spin means P2's having a downward spin.

But when the particle P2 receives observation using specific energy, its quantum state changes from "c" to "e," thus breaking an entanglement relationship.  At the same time, the particle P1 changes its quantum state from "c" to "d."  

So, no signal is sent from P2 to P1 at the speed higher than the light speed.  But, the effect on the quantum coordinate works both on P1 and P2 at the same time despite a distance between them.

Therefore, when observation leads to a finding of a downward spin in P2, the spin of P1 becomes an upward at the moment of the observation.

You may regard "e" as a downward spin and "d" as an upward spin.  Hence, you would regard the quantum state "c" as a mixed state of downward and upward.

Before observation,
P1 (a, d + e)
P2 (b, d + e)

After observation,
P1 (a, d)
P2 (b, e)

Note that the quantum coordinates d, e, and d + e must represent not only states but also force.  The state "d" means force to realize an upward spin and  "e" means force to realize a downward spin.  The sate "d + e" means force to realize "d" or "e" at any moment according to probability.


In the case of the double slit experiment, the following coordinates can be used with the position coordinate and the waveform state coordinate.

When using Slit 1 only and thus P only passes Slit 1,
P (x, p1)

When using Slit 2 only and thus P only passes Slit 2,
P (x, p2)

When using Slits 1 and 2 and thus P passes either Slit 1 or Slit 2,
P (x, p1 + p2)

As this waveform state means how force from the space works on movement of the particle, P (x, p1 + p2) means the position x of the particle P is influenced by interference force caused by  p1 and p2.  It shows the interference pattern.  And specific values of x are taken according to probability associated with wave-formed p1, p2, or p1 + p2.

But if the particle P is observed using some energy at Slit 1 or 2, its quantum state changes to P (x, p1) or P (x, p2).  In this case no interference pattern appears on the screen ahead the Slits.

The point at issue is that we have to introduce additional coordinates in handling elemental particles in addition to the position coordinates.

And this quantum coordinate or axis suggests there is another dimension in space or another layer in space of this universe where entangled elemental particles are linked no matter how long they are separated in position coordinates.

We have to admit such a dimension that cannot be seen, but rather, its existence is proved and revealed by the quantum entanglement.

"the resurrection of life" - 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 Years

Tokyo

500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 Years

In AD 1, nothing happened, since Christ Jesus was born several years before it, most probably.

But, AD 500, the turmoil of Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire came to be settled as Frankish Kingdom was consolidated or survived toward further expansion while its king officially adopted Christianity.  The era of the Roman Empire ended in Western Europe.

Childeric is chiefly important to history for bequeathing the Franks to his son Clovis, who began an effort to extend his authority over the other Frankish tribes and to expand their territorium south and west into Gaul. Clovis converted to Christianity and put himself on good terms with the powerful Church and with his Gallo-Roman subjects.

In a thirty-year reign (481–511) Clovis defeated the Roman general Syagrius and conquered the Roman exclave of Soissons, defeated the Alemanni (Tolbiac, 504) and established Frankish hegemony over them. Clovis defeated the Visigoths (Vouillé, 507) and conquered their entire kingdom (save Septimania) with its capital at Toulouse, and conquered the Bretons (according to Gregory of Tours) and made them vassals of Francia. He conquered most or all of the neighbouring Frankish tribes along the Rhine and incorporated them into his kingdom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francia

Then around 1000, crusaders emerged from Western Europe under leadership of the Vatican.  Crusades did not change political and religious climates in Europe, but it gave a great impact on Muslims, making them carry an almost eternal grudge against European Christians.  Till then a level of civilization had been higher in the Islamic world, but consequently due to the Commerce of the Levant and access to various cultural heritage from ancient civilizations around the Mediterranean, including Greek Civilization, having been preserved among Muslims, Western Europeans acquired precious cultural products of the past.  It led to the advent of the Renaissance.

The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Latin Roman Catholic Church during the High Middle Ages and Late Middle Ages. In 1095 Pope Urban II proclaimed the First Crusade with the stated goal of restoring Christian access to holy places in and near Jerusalem. Many historians and some of those involved at the time, like Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, give equal precedence to other papal-sanctioned military campaigns undertaken for a variety of religious, economic, and political reasons, such as the Albigensian Crusade, the Aragonese Crusade, the Reconquista, and the Northern Crusades.[1] Following the first crusade there was an intermittent 200-year struggle for control of the Holy Land, with six more major crusades and numerous minor ones. In 1291, the conflict ended in failure with the fall of the last Christian stronghold in the Holy Land at Acre, after which Roman Catholic Europe mounted no further coherent response in the east.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusaders

Then in 1500, a new era started in the Christian world with Columbus who reached part of Americas.

1492: Jews expelled from Spain.
1492: Christopher Columbus landed in the Americas from Spain.
1503: Leonardo da Vinci begins painting the Mona Lisa and completes it three or four years later.
1512: Copernicus writes Commentariolus, and moves the sun to the center of the solar system.
1517: The Protestant Reformation begins when Martin Luther posts his 95 Theses in Saxony.
1521: November, Ferdinand Magellan's expedition reaches Maluku and after trade with Ternate returns to Europe with a load of cloves.
1531–32: The Church of England breaks away from the Roman Catholic Church and recognizes King Henry VIII as the head of the Church.

Finally, we reached the year 2000.

The Gulf War – Iraq was left in severe debt after the 1980s war with Iran. President Saddam Hussein accused Kuwait of flooding the market with oil and driving down prices. As a result, on 2 August 1990, Iraqi forces invaded and conquered Kuwait. The UN immediately condemned the action, and a coalition force led by the United States was sent to the Persian Gulf. Aerial bombing of Iraq began in January 1991 (see also Gulf War), and a month later, the UN forces drove the Iraqi army from Kuwait in just four days. In the aftermath of the war, the Kurds in the north of Iraq and the Shiites in the south rose up in revolt, and Saddam Hussein barely managed to hold onto power. Until the US invasion in 2003, Iraq was cut off from much of the world. 

By 1990, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms were causing major inflation and economic chaos. A coup attempt by hard-liners in August 1991 failed, marking the effective end of the Soviet Union. All its constituent republics declared their independence in 1991, and on Christmas, Gorbachev resigned from office. After 73 years, the Soviet Union had ceased to exist.  

2001, September 11 attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania (2,996 killed) 

As the Federal Reserve maintained low interest rates to favor economic growth, a housing bubble began to appear in the United States. In 2007, the rise in interest rates and the collapse of the housing market caused a wave of loan payment failures in the U.S. The subsequent mortgage crisis caused a global financial crisis, because the subprime mortgages had been securitized and sold to international banks and investment funds. Despite the extensive intervention of central banks, including partial and total nationalization of major European banks,[127][128] the crisis of sovereign debt became particularly acute, first in Iceland, though as events of the early 2010s would show, it was not an isolated European example. Economic activity was severely affected around the world in 2008 and 2009,[129] with disastrous consequences for carmakers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000s_(decade)

So, 2000 years must look like only four days for God.

You may summarize the human history of these 2000 years in various ways, but it looks like a mistake of Christians.

By leveraging power of Christianity, Western Europe and North America have come to lead the world while acquiring strong and effective means, namely modern science and technology, to produce advanced and unlimited wealth.  But as a consequence Mammon or money has come to reign the world.  So, inevitably God must be angry.  

We are responsible, since we can clearly see this history of 2000 years.  The Second Coming of Christ must be a terrible incident for human beings, while we observed many tragedies in this era, such as the Great Indian Tsunami that occurred before the death of John Paul II of 2005 and the Great Northeast Japan Tsunami that triggered the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident in 2011 when non-democratic China became the second largest economy in the world catching up with Japan.  

We live in the last phase of the history in a sense.

"and touched his garment" - Japan and Spain in 1611

Tokyo


Japan and Spain in 1611


In 1609, a Spanish ship was wrecked in the Pacific Ocean near Tokyo, then called Edo, while it was sailing from the Philippines to Mexico.

However,  Deputy Governor of the Philippines Rodrigo de Vivero y Velasco (1564 - 1636） and 360 sailors could reach the land on Japan, specifically a village in the Boso Peninsula.  Then they received very humane hospitality from Japanese farmers and samurais in the region.

This report reached Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543 - 1616), the head of the Tokugawa clan that governed Japan at the time.  So, Ieyasu invited Rodrigo de Vivero to his castle in Shizuoka, 200  km west of Edo.  In his way to Shizuoka, Rodrigo de Vivero paid a courtesy call to shogun Hidetada, a son of Ieyasu, who acted as samurai king of Japan.

At the time, Ieysau was not strongly against Christianity.  He rather wanted to promote trade with Spain, though trade with the Netherlands was already underway.  So, their meeting was successful.  Ieyasu gave a ship to Rodrigo de Vivero.  It was William Adams (1564-1620) that built this ship.  Adams was the first Englishman who came and stayed in Japan till his death.

Then in 1611, King Philip III of Spain (1578-1621) decided to send Sebastián Vizcaíno (1548-1615) to Japan as his official diplomat to consolidate the relationship between Japan and Spain.  Vizcaíno visited Shizuoka to see Ieyasu.  It was a friendly meeting, but the situation had been drastically changed.  The Tokugawa samurai regime had already decided not to establish diplomatic relationships with Spain as well as Portugal.  Japanese samurai leaders were afraid of Catholicism, since Catholic Japanese did not fully obey shogun and the Tokugawa leadership.  As the Netherlands, a Protestant country, did not try to be engaged in missionary work, the Tokugawa regime opted to maintain a diplomatic tie only with the Netherlands.

So, Sebastián Vizcaíno left Japan, but his ship was wrecked just off Japan.  He returned to Japan, but shogun did not provide a new ship for the Spanish diplomat.  But as a feudal lord in Northeast Japan planned to send his own mission to the Vatican, Vizcaíno joined their voyage to return to Mexico in 1613.       

When Vizcaíno met Ieyasu, he presented many gifts from Philip III to Ieyasu.  One of the gifts was a famous clock that had been built in Flanders in 1581.  It was still kept in Japan.  And recently recovery work was started with help from British Museum, since only 20 or so clocks made 400 years ago in Europe remain today and this is one of them in better condition.

Philip III of Spain sent a few more diplomats after Vizcaíno to Japan in his effort to do a trade with Japan, since Japan was at the time known to Europe as a country of gold.  Vizcaíno reported that there was a plenty of silver and high quality of gold in Japan.  Nonetheless the father of shogun Ieyasu did not even see these diplomats from Spain.  The Tokugawa regime was going to close the door of the nation to Westerners, except  the Dutch, to avoid influences of Christianity.

It is hard to tell which was better, that Japan established a diplomatic tie with Spain and the Vatican 400 years ago, or that Japan rejected Christian influences coming into the nation as it did.  Samurai leader Ieyasu was not moved by the clock, which is the only sure thing we can tell today.

The first Western diplomat in Japan 

Shipwrecked in 1609, Rodrigo de Vivero negotiated with the shogun on establishing relations 

BY ALICE GORDENKER 

At the time of the shipwreck, Mexico was called New Spain and was part of the Spanish empire. Rodrigo de Vivero, a member of one of the richest families in New Spain, was 44 when he was named interim governor of the Philippines, which was also a Spanish territory. 

During his tenure in Manila, de Vivero had official contact with Japan, including negotiations concerning Japanese residents of the Philippines accused of fomenting civil unrest, but there was no plan for him to actually visit Japan. 

He was in fact returning to New Spain, on a route that hugged the coast of Japan, when his ship was wrecked against a reef at what is now the town of Onjuku in Chiba Prefecture. Fifty men were lost, but de Vivero and several hundred other passengers made it safely to shore with the assistance of local villagers. 

Although European missionaries and merchants had been arriving since the 1540s, Vivero was the first European diplomat and administrator ever to enter the country.
Once it was understood who de Vivero was, he was taken on guided tours of Edo, Kyoto and other cities, and was received in audience by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had stepped down as shogun but was still the most powerful figure in the country, and his son and incumbent shogun, Hidetada. 

De Vivero also met with senior government officials, and had dealings with the renowned English mariner William Adams, who had been living in Japan for nine years. During such meetings, de Vivero attempted to influence Japanese foreign policy, in particular urging that the Dutch be expelled from Japan, and negotiated a proposed framework for future diplomatic and trade relations. 

The Spanish government never ratified the treaty, as Ruiz-Cabanas explained in his lecture. Authorities in Manila objected on the grounds that direct communication and trade between Japan and New Spain would result in a loss of influence and revenue for them. Spanish sailors feared the Japanese would gain knowledge of long-distance shipbuilding, increasing the danger of a Japanese invasion of Spanish territories. 

But Ruiz-Cabanas said his personal view is that religious considerations probably played a bigger role. News of official opposition to Catholicism in Japan “was a cause of anxiety in Madrid and the Vatican,” he said, and it was unlikely that Spain was ready to formally recognize a non-European and non-Catholic country.
“At the time, no European power had recognized any Asiatic nation, including Japan and China, as equal,” the ambassador observed. 

Shortly thereafter, Japan adopted a policy of seclusion, greatly limiting contact with New Spain and most other countries for more than 200 years.

History is God.  We cannot change it, but we have to learn any lessons and know what we are before God.

Why did God send a wrecked Spanish ship to Japan in 1609?

"they glorified God" - Emerson's Over-Soul

Around Tokyo

Emerson's Over-Soul

What is seen is made of what cannot be seen.

This is a universal result of true religions, thus Ralph Waldo Emerson even referred to Hinduism and wrote his spiritual experiences.

ESSAY IX The Over-Soul 

There is a difference between one and another hour of life, in their authority and subsequent effect. Our faith comes in moments; our vice is habitual. Yet there is a depth in those brief moments which constrains us to ascribe more reality to them than to all other experiences.
... 

Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.
...

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related; the eternal ONE.  And this deep power in which we exist, and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one.
... 

We know that all spiritual being is in man. A wise old proverb says, "God comes to see us without bell"; that is, as there is no screen or ceiling between our heads and the infinite heavens, so is there no bar or wall in the soul where man, the effect, ceases, and God, the cause, begins. The walls are taken away. We lie open on one side to the deeps of spiritual nature, to the attributes of God.
... 

Yet time and space are but inverse measures of the force of the soul. The spirit sports with time, —
"Can crowd eternity into an hour,
Or stretch an hour to eternity."
...

The soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose. Foolish people ask you, when you have spoken what they do not wish to hear, 'How do you know it is truth, and not an error of your own?' We know truth when we see it, from opinion, as we know when we are awake that we are awake. It was a grand sentence of Emanuel Swedenborg, which would alone indicate the greatness of that man's perception, — "It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to confirm whatever he pleases; but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, this is the mark and character of intelligence."
... 

The character and duration of this enthusiasm varies with the state of the individual, from an ecstasy and trance and prophetic inspiration, — which is its rarer appearance, — to the faintest glow of virtuous emotion, in which form it warms, like our household fires, all the families and associations of men, and makes society possible. A certain tendency to insanity has always attended the opening of the religious sense in men, as if they had been "blasted with excess of light." The trances of Socrates, the "union" of Plotinus, the vision of Porphyry, the conversion of Paul, the aurora of Behmen, the convulsions of George Fox and his Quakers, the illumination of Swedenborg, are of this kind. What was in the case of these remarkable persons a ravishment has, in innumerable instances in common life, been exhibited in less striking manner. Everywhere the history of religion betrays a tendency to enthusiasm. The rapture of the Moravian and Quietist; the opening of the internal sense of the Word, in the language of the New Jerusalem Church; the revival of the Calvinistic churches; the experiences of the Methodists, are varying forms of that shudder of awe and delight with which the individual soul always mingles with the universal soul.
... 

The faith that stands on authority is not faith. The reliance on authority measures the decline of religion, the withdrawal of the soul. The position men have given to Jesus, now for many centuries of history, is a position of authority. It characterizes themselves. It cannot alter the eternal facts. Great is the soul, and plain.
http://www.emersoncentral.com/oversoul.htm

Conversely, in Buddhism they say, "Every form in reality is empty, and emptiness is the true form."

However, if our soul is linked with Heaven or at least the spiritual world, everything we see around us in this material world can be all emptiness in its essence, since we do not belong to them eternally eventually.

"Agree with thine adversary quickly" - Japanese behind Casablanca

A Zoo around Tokyo

Japanese behind Casablanca

The prominent movie Casablanca has some linkage with Japan, though the work produced during WWII was a kind of anti-Axis propaganda.

In the movie Europeans were trying to flee to the US, leaving Nazi Germany-controlled Europe.  They were waiting for a chance to sail to the US at the port city Casablanca in northwest Africa or Morocco under governance of France.

Richard Nikolaus Eijiro von Coudenhove-Kalergi (1894 – 1972) was an Austrian politician, geopolitician, philosopher and count of Coudenhove-Kalergi, who was a pioneer of European integration. He was the founder and President for 49 years of the Paneuropean Union. His parents were Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat, and Mitsuko Aoyama, the daughter of an antiques-dealer and oil tycoon in Tokyo.

Coudenhove-Kalergi is recognized as the founder of the first popular movement for a united Europe. His intellectual influences ranged from Rudolf Kjellén and Oswald Spengler to Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. In politics, he was an enthusiastic supporter of "fourteen points" made by Woodrow Wilson on 8 January 1918 and pacifist initiatives of Kurt Hiller. In the early 1920s he joined a Masonic lodge at Vienna, where he would reach several degrees. In 1922 he co-founded the Pan-European Union (PEU) with Archduke Otto von Habsburg, as "the only way of guarding against an eventual world hegemony by Russia".[5] In 1923, he published a manifesto entitled Pan-Europa, each copy containing a membership form which invited the reader to become a member of the Pan-Europa movement. He favored social democracy as an improvement on "the feudal aristocracy of the sword" But his ambition was to create a conservative society that superseded democracy with "the social aristocracy of the spirit".[6]

From April 1924 to March 1938, Coudenhove-Kalergi worked as an editor and principal author of the journal Paneuropa. He published his main work, the three volumes of Kampf um Paneuropa (The fight for Paneuropa) between 1925 and 1928. In 1926, the first Congress of the Pan-European Union met in Vienna funded with 60,000 marks by banker Max Warburg, and the 2,000 delegates elected Coudenhove-Kalergi president of the Central Council

After the annexation of Austria by the Third Reich in 1938, Coudenhove-Kalergi fled to Czechoslovakia, and thence to France. As France fell to Germany in 1940, he escaped to the United States by way of Switzerland and Portugal. During the war, he continued his call for the unification of Europe along the Paris-London axis. His wartime politics and peripeties served as the real life basis for fictional Resistance hero Victor Laszlo, the Paul Henreid character in Casablanca.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Richard_Nikolaus_von_Coudenhove-Kalergi

So, the original movement for unification of Europe was driven by an Austrian politician whose mother was Japanese.

But how did she become the wife of Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat?

Mitsuko, Countess of Coudenhove-Kalergi (1874 – 1941), formerly known as Mitsu Aoyama , was one of the first Japanese people to emigrate to Europe, after becoming the wife of an Austrian diplomat, Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi, in Tokyo. She was the mother of Richard Nikolaus Graf von Coudenhove-Kalergi. 

The daughter of an antiques-dealer and oil tycoon in Tokyo, aged 17 she met the Austro-Hungarian diplomat Dr. Count Heinrich von Coudenhove-Kalergi when she came to help him when his horse slipped on ice (Heinrich often visited her father's shop, not far from the Austrian legation). Heinrich gained her father's permission for her to be employed as a parlour maid in the legation and then (after they fell in love) for them to marry. The latter request was refused, but the couple defied him, marrying on 16 March 1892 in Tokyo with the consent of the Austrian and Japanese foreign ministries. This left her disinherited and banned from her father's house. In 1896 she was received at an imperial reception for foreign diplomats' wives by Empress Eishō (as a commoner Mitsuko would never have been granted such an audience, but as a countess and ambassador's wife she was) and again on the end of Heinrich's diplomatic work shortly afterwards. 

The couple then returned to Europe, where Mitsuko and their two sons Johannes and Richard took over management of the family estates in Bohemian Ronsperg.

Heinrich died in 1906 and Mitsuko took over the estates and the children's upbringing and education, while studying law and economics herself. Mitsuko never again returned to Japan and when she died in 1941 she was buried in the Hietzinger Cemetery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsuko_Aoyama

She must have experienced prejudice and discrimination in Europe on many occasions, since it was still the 19th century that she became Countess in Europe.  It might give some hint to her son Richard Nikolaus Eijiro von Coudenhove-Kalergi about evil of a divided world so that he might want to realize unified Europe where even his Japanese mother could live with less social pressure.

Mitsuko Coudenhove-Kalergi once renounced Richard when he married a famous actress while he was a student, though decades later she renounced this renunciation.

Old Mitsuko wished to be buried in her husband's grave but it was not realized.  She also wanted to have her coffin wrapped with a flag of the Rising Sun, the Japanese National Flag.

She never returned to Japan since she had left Japan for Europe with her husband in 1896, though she met mostly Japanese in Vienna in her last days.

In addition, though she died two months before the Pearl Harbor Attack, she was protected by the Japanese Embassy in Vienna from Nazis unlike her son Richard.
