    For the Reader from the Author

    I wrote this book to crystallize my beliefs. Ihave been a member of a Christian church for the

    past 40 years, but joined it because the ones I careabout believe its tenets. Maybe even they joined

    because they were taught to believe by the ones

    they care about, and so on and so on and so on.When I came to a point at which I felt a need

    to know what I believe, and not what someoneelse believes; I decided to write down all mythoughts on the subject, and then edit them overtime until everything fit to my way of thinking.Then, I could say, This is what I believe.

    I promise you that if you do likewise writingdown what you believe in a way that you can

    understand, and if you go and do what you are prompted thereby, you will discover your truth.You wil l not suddenly be able to say, Now Iknow the truth, because there will always bemore to know.

    In the meantime and as a catalyst for yourthinking, read this book. It is written as anexercise for me so that I can see what I believe inwords and not just in feelings, and so that I canfeel what I believe using my form of allegory.

    A Taste for

    GibbingThe Prologue

    It really is possible for there to have been an

    evolution in which a being, or maybe even manyhave developed to become what we could actuallycall gods. After all, if the possibilities are endless;why not? In a couple billion years, many godscould have advanced to be able to corral theelements so that they could populate such placesas this beautiful earth, full of variety and wonder.If there are natural laws, were they written, orwere they discovered?

    Many humans on planet Earth are convincedthat evolution is the cause of all existence. Theysay that because there are seemingly an infinitenumber of possibilities; we humans may be here

    by chance, and in other parts of the universe,other things and other beings may or may not have

    popped into existence and evolved in whateverway chance would have it.

    Other humans say that it is preposterous that

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    6/206

    5

    we are supported by a conscious entity up there inspace somewhere, partly because they have been

    bombarded with such distasteful negativity thatthey stop listening when some short sighted

    preacher says, Man must pay the price for hissins, while he pounds his fist on the podium; andgoes on and on preaching hell fire and damnation.

    The very same idea expressed in a different waymight be more convincing and inviting:

    If one says, There is no such thing as a freelunch, it sounds quite reasonable, and it is justlike saying, Man must pay the price for his

    groceries. Cause and effect is always in place inthe ruling laws of the cosmos. If one eats toomuch, and works too little, he will pay the priceand eventually become less able to do what ismost expedient and most rewarding.

    Selfishness has a price too. Selfish behavior isblinding to what could be an amazing eternaladventure. Happiness can become magnified whenconcern for others becomes more important than

    self satisfaction.

    We are all tempted to be selfish, but if we are,the price equals: narrow vision and loneliness. Wecan be charitable, which is not our nature, but ifwe are, that sacrifice equals: the price of ourhappiness. We are fortunate that we can make that

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    7/206

    6

    choice. Being able to make choices allows us toactually see and feel many opposing forces thatexist in all of reality.

    Think about it. All the great novels everwritten have conflict. The more trouble, the better.The greatest novels sometimes end in defeat.Recorded history would not exist if there were no

    bad things that happened. There probablywouldnt be any newspapers to read either.Without some kind of villain or evil force, eventhis book would be boring and nobody would

    bother reading it.

    Think again. Can you imagine gettingstronger in an exercise program withoutresistance? No. All improvement, advancement,and creation will always require a negative aspectthat must be overcome. In your own life, try to seeyour troubles as stepping stones toward a positivefruition. Dont just look fo rward to lying on thecouch to just drink in what others have created.

    When the path of creation is seen as a seriesof events with positive and negative components,inseparably connected, it can be realized that thenegative side cannot be avoided by any creator.Often people want to blame God for their trials.Well, so be it then, but choosing the negative path

    would not be his choice, but it could be yours. If

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    8/206

    7

    you deny that the forces of nature seen all aroundus are made available to us for our growth andlearning by a god, so be it then.

    A great master of words said exactly what Iwould like to echo in this book, and he said it

    better than I ever could:

    Sweet are the uses of adversity,Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,

    Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;

    And this our life, exempt from public haunt,

    Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,Sermons in stones, and good in every thing.

    William Shakespeare

    Sometimes we humans become closed minded

    about what is really going on in our universe. We aretaught intangible concepts with words that over timeseem to be tangible. We hang onto the words withoutadvancing our understanding. Now that we can putaside childish things, I think some of us need to set

    aside our sticks in the mud of confounded languageand start fresh in the quest for discovering the meaningof life not just from our own perspective, but from awider view. Many words are clear to us, but manywords are ambiguous without personal context.

    We all have a different understanding of many

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    9/206

    8

    things in the ethereal realm. In the following storymany characters are analogous to beings in the realworld and in the world that is envisioned byevolutionary creationists. This book is for those whowant to hope for something more than somethingusually short of a hundred years of experience.Religious people hope for something more than whatthey see, so they sometimes appear to be Pollyannaish.

    Some would call immortality wishful thinking andfalse hope. I hope along with many humans that thereis a purpose for life. The following allegory allows usto envision a real possibility for an eternal round ofwhich we are all a part. When there is hope, there must

    be action toward that hopeful goal, whether it is action by the one who hopes or at least actions observed orrecognized by him.

    One premise that stands out in the search for truth:

    Everything needs to fit. With all the senses that wehumans have, we cannot see with our limited sensesclearly enough for everything to fit, to be fair, to make

    perfect sense, or to bring comfort to our souls, so weneed to extrapolate the evidence that we have.Knowing the truth is like finally discovering all the

    pieces of the puzzle that fit with perfect alignmentwhen we see through the matrix of the threedimensions into a full picture including all thedimensions of reality: height, width, depth, time, andall other parameters that can be used to define andevaluate things.

    On the short term, (lets say 10 million years), many things do not fit and do not become resolved andare not just and do cause us to doubt that any perfectgod would permit evil to reign even for a moment, but

    perhaps with an eternal perspective, (lets say 10 billion years), hope can allow for a positive direction inspite of any hellish pranks. Perhaps positive evolutioncannot be stopped, ever.

    As for the longing for eternal life, the same masterof words said, oh so poetically, the crux of the hope formany people.

    That, if then I had waked after a long sleep, will make

    me sleep again; and then, in dreaming, the clouds methought would open and show riches ready to drop

    upon me; that, when I waked I cried to dream again.

    Most of us fear death but hope for eternal life,and what we want is to be satisfied forever; but when

    put that way there is a certain amount of distaste in thathope. Man is naturally a selfish beast, but perhaps we

    could graduate into a condition of unselfishness withconsiderable practice.

    There is more than that self indulgent wish thatshould be in the hearts of those who hope for eternallife. Dream with hope, and work with passion to createsomething.

    One major problem with us humans is that weoften mince the truth with what are called by

    psychologists, defense mechanisms, to shelter us fromthe discomfort from knowing the negative aspects ofour lives. The truth is that we need this negativeexperience so that we can be propelled out of our lackof hope; but if we resist too much, we will stay stuck inthe mud. It is easy for us to identify others defenses,

    but our own are often hidden by ourselves fromourselves.

    Some say that proof of anything is not reallynecessary in order to proceed with creation when wefinally see through our self inflicted cloud, and that allthat is needed in the mind is acknowledgment of

    possibility, and that all that is needed in the soul is a beam of hope.

    Disclaimer: This fictional model is designed to

    imbue the reader toward positive and ethical action, nottoward any particular doctrine. Do somethingoutrageously positive for someone who you dont thinkdeserves it; and wait as long as it takes to see what

    positive comes from it. What does life mean to you?

    Pondering what might be beyond our senses can yieldhope for an eternal existence for anyone who reads this

    book. Write your own life; your own book; this is my picture of eternity.

    Chapter 1:

    In the Beginning before SeedlandMany eons agone, there was an outward burst

    of energy the brightness of which defies alldescription. That burst was the premier event in

    the universe of the Seeds, who are the beginningsof awareness. It was felt by all of them, to onedegree or another. They had no tangible referenceto any reality whatsoever, but they witnessed thegrandest demonstration of the outward quest that

    will be called charity. The Seeds did not even haveknowledge of their location or size or shape, butonly a sliver of a notion of their own existence.These countless seeds had greater or lesserlongings and potentials to become players in the

    process of creation. In the beginning there wasnothing to picture, nothing to be noticed by theSeeds except hope itself and the first effect ofcharity, which is light, the first principle ofcreation.

    After about 400 million years, a few Seedsstumbled upon a means to embellish creation. Thisallowed them to progress. This means of creationwas due to an evolution. They began to care about

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    13/206

    12

    something outside of their own existence. Theyhad very limited power to observe things becausethey had no senses, but they felt the need, thelonging to serve someone or something besidesthemselves. Over millions of years, these specialSeeds, called Forgibs learned that countlessnumbers of Seeds were unable to develop because

    they were not motivated to progress. They did notunderstand the value of charity, because it wastheir natural tendency to bring things tothemselves for their enjoyment and to beassimilated into their self awareness seed.

    It took millions of years for the Forgibs tofind their way to their means of perception, andcreation. The senses that developed in them wereunknown to the lesser Seeds. The Forgibs knew

    they had something substantial, and the more they progressed, the more they wanted to share with theSeeds. The caring accelerated, and their evolutionto become Gibs accelerated too. They began toknow that they were becoming Forgibs and

    Giblings only because they cared so passionatelyfor the Seeds and because they knew that charitywould ultimately touch all those who accepted thegift.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    14/206

    13

    Some of the Forgibs evolved to becomeGiblings because they were perseverant aboutacquiring their special senses. They had an intenselonging to serve. The Giblings found that theycould join with their counterparts to produceGiblings whose DNA codes could be altered overtime so that senses could be produced; senses that

    could detect attitudes and needs of Seeds andForgibs. The Giblings learned that the Seeds andForgibs had no chance of progression without themotivation that allowed them to develop theirsuper powers of observation and creation. The

    greatest of all the super powers discovered wascharity. It was learned by the Giblings that thiswas the first working principle that could be usedto advance the cause of Gibbing.

    Once the Giblings became acquainted withtheir environment, they formed a Gibbing Council.They unanimously elected a president and twokinematic balancers called counselors. The first

    president was from then on called Gib Himself.

    Gib Himself became the master builder ofthe Gibbiverse because he yearned infinitely forgiving to all that ever might latch onto his sense ofthe joy of Gibbing (giving). His problem was that

    he had this sort of insatiable need to share all his

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    15/206

    14

    joy. He came across another such as himself whohe called The Giver. The Giver whose name wasSusej shined with innocence and hope. GibHimself fostered him and felt the need to producethe first familia of the Gibbiverse in order that hisson could progress along with himself. So, fromthe beginning of the status of Susej, he was a pure

    giver without negative experience.So, the Giver developed into a Loom of

    Good because of his total innocence, and fromthen on was the principle instrument by which Gib

    Himself would Create his Gibbiverse.The first proclamation that was given by Gib

    Himself was: My goal is to find those Seeds whohave the potential to create and then help them to

    be able to do so as we are doing. Henceforth andforever until the Final Condition, I will remainanonymous because my own first rule is to behumble. It is impossible for me to continueGibbing to the Seeds and Forgibs if I am known to

    be their supporter and provider.

    He said though in contradiction, But theyneed to know of me somehow in order that theymay see something of the way that I am, so we

    need to send someone to give them a message.

    It

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    16/206

    15

    is especially important that the Giblings onSeedland are aligned with the principles of charityand creation as taught by messages from the GibCouncil, not just so that they would obey, but ifthose Giblings adopt all the principles of gibbingas an inseparable part of their inner seed, then theywould be given the senses and tools needed to do

    something good forever.Many occasions would arise that would

    require methods outside the understanding of theGiblings to accomplish the goal of the Gibbing

    Council. On Planet Earth, these are calledmiracles. Many things developed on Earth thatwere called modern miracles, but they weretechnological advances that occurred because ofisolated incidents of godly perseverance which

    was instilled into the landscape of greataccomplishments by special men and womendotting time during the latter days of Earth beforeits final condition.

    As for Seedland, the Gibbing Councildecided to communicate special abilities andtechniques of creation that would help theGiblings along when they got discouraged about

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    17/206

    16

    the hidden future. The hidden future is and willalways be a part of reality because the future is theeffect of what happens in the present, which isalways variable, so the future cannot be known asa fact, but only as a goal, a plan, and a hope whichis eternal. So, hope is what causes charity andcreation, and it will be that way forever.

    Gib s First Counselor, the Giver, said, MyFather, Gib Himself has said that we need all to beanonymous and perfectly humble, so it is his planthat will be the one to ultimately teach the Forgibs

    to acquire senses the way that we have. I will go tothem and appear to fail, but I will give them amessage. I will tell them that if they care for eachother they will acquire the needed senses foreternal progression.

    One of the first key principles discovered,charity, was in contradiction to the nature of Seedsand Forgibs. The appetite for self fulfillment wasalmost insatiable in the raw state of their

    emptiness.

    Although the council did not know for sureall that would take place in the next ten billionyears, they projected that it would take that long

    for their universe to evolve to a state that could

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    18/206

    17

    accommodate the place that was needed for theSeeds and Forgibs to dock. The Forgibs would be

    born on a world as Giblings, and would needshelter, many wonders, many trials and manyenhancements that would be parallels andreflections of the true nature of things. Manyquestions arose in the Council.

    One of the first questions was posed byMicholan, the first Arcintel, Gib Himself, howcan the Seedlings or the Forgibs get close enoughto each other to even notice that the process of

    charity can yield an increase in perception andhappiness?

    Gib Himself said, I have discovered a keymatrix. I want to organize groups into famlia. Thisgroup will be composed of a gene tree which will

    be a framework designed to challenge the Forgibswith disappointments and hurdles but alsodesigned to help the motivation for charity. Eachfamlia needs a head and a heart, two separate and

    opposite entities that forever oppose but forever join in a harmony like the atom itself.

    Gahbrohal, another Arcintel mentioned thefollowing potential problem, Gib Himself, I feel

    that some of the Forgibs may be unable to get your

    18

    message before our beloved First Counselorappears with his message. What shall we do aboutthat?

    Gib Himself said, We will provide for themmany chances. Evolution will take too long forthem because we will synthetically implant ournature unto them. That synthesis will not haveenough staying power without our injections ofnotions of love into their self awareness spot.They will not understand what we call Lovewithout the Light of The Giver and without the

    Forlight from The Eloh Stoga.

    Raffyelos, the third Arcintel said, A potential problem, too could be that some of theGiblings could behave almost like the Gibs, whichwould require an extraordinary acceleration of the

    plan for them. They could perhaps avoid some ofthe suffering because of their use of charity in

    their patterns of life.

    Gib Himself said, My First Counselor, TheGiver, will Reflect for all regardless of rank orachievement. (To Reflect here means: to install

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    20/206

    19

    Gib codes that may or may not be adopted by andaccepted by the Giblings.) The Giver will justifythe plan by imaging his Charity on the Seeds andthe Forgibs, and I will have a place prepared forall, but all are not the same in brightness, but allare loved, from the lowest Seeds to the highestForgibs. All the Seeds will have a place on

    Seedland. The lesser Seeds will be born in theform of many different varieties of plants andanimals. As many as possible need to have placethere in Seedland so that the Giblings will haveenough clues to wonder about what the truth is

    and enough evidence that evolution and creationand charity are all the same.

    The Second Counselor, The Eloh Stoga,offered his services to the Plan and said that he

    could remain a Forgib until the Final Condition.His being a Forgib would allow him to remainethereal, hence effective in the convincing to thecore (the Seed) of a Gibling of the value of charityand other important principles.

    Many Eons passed in preparation of thesetting on which the Seeds and Forgibs could have

    place. When it came to pass, it happened on agrand scale. Galaxies were created and then solar

    systems with planets. This development took

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    21/206

    20

    place, but was not recorded in the minds or heartsof any of the Seeds or Forgibs. They had no mindsand hearts and would not until they were createdon Seedland. So they, as they would be born ontothe planets, would not know about the actualsequence of events that led to their sojourn on awonderful globe with seemingly infinite fertility.

    Chapter 2:

    The 2 Key Rivals of Charity The Antigib One of the Forgibs, Izhehtin, (izhAtin), came to

    the front of the Gibbing Council and said, I knowthat these Forgibs cannot ever get to where we arein the levels of perception without our Gibbingthem with cloned senses combed from our alteredDNA codes. Let me just shower them with a

    blessing of super powers from the Gib Council. Iwant to Gib them with happiness and I want them

    to thank me for it. It will take too long for them tounderstand this plan. They are too ignorant. Youare all just hiding from them.

    Izhehtin did understand the value of charity, but it was his natural tendency to bring things to

    himself for his aggrandizement. He would want tosee that Charity would benefit him so that hewould become the most powerful Forgib. Herefused to see the big picture of creation. Heconvinced many Forgibs to follow his plan to

    prove that creation would only diminish his powerto rule and control the Seeds. He told his followersthat if the Seeds would become free, that theywould be out of his control.

    Izhehtin developed a plan to gain powerover the Forgibs and the Seeds, as many as he

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    23/206

    22

    could cajole. Deception was his key method. His basic message was: If it feels good, do it, and if itcan be taken, take it. That philosophy wasgenerated by the premise: I am the center, and themost important one.

    Some of the Forgibs who were on the side ofGib Himself coined a nickname for Izhehtin. They

    said that he Is Hating personified; not hatinghimself, but hating everything but himself. IsHating convinced many that if we are free, we willmost likely fail and therefore freedom iscounterproductive? He said that if we are forced to

    obey laws and restrictions, we will certainly be protected from harm.

    Izhehtin is the personification of evil onSeedland. As a Forgib, he was actually enhancedin the same way as the Seeds who eventually

    became Giblings, but he was found to be inopposition to the noble and great Giblings whoinitially formed the Gibbing Council.

    Ultimately, Izhehtin will have no glory at all

    because of his Tirachic attitude. He will have anignominious end in a bottomless pit of his ownmaking.

    24/206

    23

    The Natural Gibling The other rival of charity is the natural

    Gibling himself. Doing true charity causescreation and happiness, but if one does service inorder to be happy, it is not really charity. Whywould anyone do charity if there is nothing in itfor him? It seems that, in the Giblings mind, truecharity would be impossible, because all hissenses are contained within his body. How couldhe sense the satisfaction in someone else?

    At first, Giblings just do what is consideredcharitable because they are told to do it by thosewho they know care about them. Then, they feelhappy as a natural consequence of doing it. Oncecharity is set in motion, it fuels itself with feelingsof happiness for doing it when it is started by

    parents or somebody who cares for the youngGibling. The natural tendency is to be selfishthough, so there are many times that a Gibling willslip into that tendency. When he does, he loses thehappiness and the drive to do charity. That drive

    will not come back on its own. It will takesomeone like the Eloh Stoga to see that thingsmove along once again in the positive direction ofcharity.

    Sometimes Giblings are not exposed to theloving push toward doing charity. When that is the

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    25/206

    24

    case, special efforts need to occur for thoseunfortunate Giblings to be able to roll down thecharity road to happiness and any beginnings ofany Awesome Eternal Adventure.

    The famlia would facilitate the best positive direction for Giblings on Seedland, so it isa good and essential part of the positive plan of

    perpetual creation introduced by the Giver to GibHimself especially because he learned that very

    principle from His Father.

    Chapter 3:

    The Famlia

    The Story of A Taste for Gibbing beginswhen the first Gibling awoke on a beautiful

    paradise called Seedland. Gib Himself named himAddman. Gib Himself had determined frommillions of years of experience that flux is the

    power to create and the power to understand. Hefound that energy could exist as a material

    substance because of this opposition that Hediscovered to be in all things. So, He found acounterpart for Addman. He discovered that maleand female could join in such a way that theycould both oppose and attract each other at the

    same time just like the atom itself. Withman was

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    27/206

    26

    brought to Addman. Together Addman andWithman began to experience the most amazinglife together on Seedland. Because of the nature oftheir being together, famlias began on Seedland.Over the period of 7,000 years, over one BillionGiblings had the opportunity to live on Seedland,each living an average of 40 years before they

    went back to the ethereal condition.The Giblings on Seedland were blessed by

    their creator senses that allow them to observe thethree dimensions, height, width and depth

    simultaneously, but the other dimensions of realitycould not be fully experienced with eyes, and earsand touch because Gib Himself knew that theother dimensions of time, warp and spirit couldnot be fully available to them without sensors

    beyond their capacity on Seedland. But sometimesthere could be an inkling of these otherdimensions in order that the mortal Giblings onSeedland could progress. Sometimes eternal

    beings such as Gib Himself could seem to come

    from nowhere, or float down from the sky, butactually Gib Himself would be entering Seedlandfrom a direction of either the dimension of time orwarp or spirit. So, Giblings would think that it isall mysterious, but actually just not measurable

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    28/206

    27

    with the senses given to them for the sojourn onSeedland.

    Life on Seedland ends: It seems like such ashort time, when we see the timeline of billions ofyears that have passed in order for that special

    planet to have life teaming on it with such aflourish and such variety and such a wonderfulcountenance. How can it end?

    There are so many imperfections onSeedland that failure is inevitable. Things that donot fail and do not die are things like memories,connections, conclusions, direction, and hope.These are all ethereal. The Seeds of all physicalframes are those things which allow eternalexistence. Gib Himself over billions of yearsdiscovered a way to keep a record of the physicalframework that each of the Giblings occupiedwhile on Seedland. He also developed a way toensure that the Seeds would be able to reunite withthe physical frame that fit with each and every one

    of them. Every physical frame and every Seed hasa name and a known time on Seedland.

    Even Seedland itself began as a Seed, andall materials had their beginnings as Seeds. All the

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    29/206

    28

    elements began as Seeds. The Giblings over timeon Seedland became familiar with the materials onSeedland, and are able to organize them and bringthem to life in the wonderful world that GibHimself was able to Gib to the Giblings for theirgrowth, learning and happiness.

    Some of the Giblings had greaterunderstanding, and some had greater skills to leadthe lesser Giblings. Many of the Giblings would

    be lost without the support of the noble and greatones who make Seedland a better place. Gib

    Himself knows that a safety net is necessary for allto be able to live forever. There are too manyillusions put in the way by such as Izhehtin, thatGibling logic is not adequate for a clearunderstanding of all of reality. The Gibliotheca is

    a document compiled by the noble and great ones.Many will be lost anyway because they are notdrawn to the great document from the Gibs. It isthe nature of Giblings to desire self fulfillment,and reading the Gibliotheca requires a Gibly

    countenance.

    The only son of Gib who was named TheGiver asked his father Gib, There are so many

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    30/206

    29

    ingredients in this cosmic soup that I think patience should be a virtue. I mean, I think patience should be rewarded with somethingtangible like gold or silver; something besides justmore time to progress. The Seedlings needmilestones of advancement.

    Gib Himself said, There will be a sayingamong the Giblings: A good deed is its ownreward. We will see if the Giblings can evennotice the reward. If they do, that is the way for usto evaluate their worthiness of anything more,such as their own project like ours. After all, youfind yourself patient in our doings, dont you?

    The Giver said, Yes father.

    He paused and then asked, Oh wise father,how can we convince the fathers who will dwellon Seedland that they should be patient enough towait until the Final Condition to see the whole

    picture of our work? How, especially because theywill not have millions of years to learn the way wehave had patience for millions of years?

    Gib Himself pleaded with his council, I

    must emphasize that I do not want to be portrayed

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    31/206

    30

    as a puppeteer pulling the strings of the Giblingsin order that they will follow the right path back toan eternal Gibbing condition. They must freelychoose Gibbing as the ultimate solution to allunhappiness and negativity.

    Gib Himself also said, Not only do theGiblings not have millions of years to learn, butIzhehtin will interfere and try to present to all ofthem a counterfeit. That will make it necessary forus to communicate plainly so that they willunderstand the connection between our rules and

    the super powers that they will obtain afterfollowing those rules. We should always havesomeone on Seedland to speak for us, so that itwill be plain, what rules will yield happiness. One

    particularly difficult problem is that many of the

    Giblings will remain closed minded to themessage that evolution can only be good. Theseskeptics will usually be very learned, but theyhave had so many counterfeit messages that theydon t want to entertain the possibility that creationand charity will go on forever. They may even saythat wishful thinking is a useless salve and that weall should just go on about our business until it isover and then it is over.

    There is a great diversity in the capacity forGiblings to understand things. Some are calledgifted because they understand things so quickly,and they can know right away what theconsequences of actions are by their intelligence.There are those who cannot learn by othersmistakes or even from their own. There is a range

    of capacity, so that is a reason for the Giver tooffer those who do not understand things a chanceto earn the gift of Gibbing by his obedience to one

    plain principle:

    If one becomes humble enough to knowthat he cannot create anything without charity, hecan graduate eventually to Gibhood, if he wants tocreate for others.

    About 2,000 years after The Giver had comeand gone to and from Seedland there was aconfused Gibling who had a great need to finddirection and meaning in his sojourn on Seedland.His name was Luap Selim. He would ask whatmany called dumb questions, but he had to askthem none the less. He even knew that they werequestions that had no answer, or the answerswould have no meaning, or there was just nobody

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    33/206

    32

    to ask, but he thought that there were virtualanswers that could guide him to a condition of

    peace of mind about things.

    Some of his questions are:

    1. Are success and failure inseparable?

    Is hope only a virtual reflection of reality?

    If one is struggling to get out of a hole, ishe really trying to dive into another one?

    Is working toward a goal, moving away

    from one failure and then moving towardanother?

    Is everything a vast sea of sameness or onthe other hand is it a universe of confusion

    and ambiguity?

    Are we all floating in an amorphousfeatureless universe?

    Or

    2. Is there a Gib who over billions of yearshas learned the meaning of life, and wantsto share it with us unfortunate Giblings?

    Is there a force toward Charity and a force

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    34/206

    33

    toward Tirachy whose direction isdiscernible?

    Can I feel this force without the ambiguityof words?

    Is the light, good and the darkness, bad?

    All these questions were published throughoutSeedland. There was a response sent by sounderstream, a unique kind of communication developed byone of the noble and great ones, Alex Bellville. The

    sound stream vibrates all the matter and energy onSeedland by transferal and can be retrieved by a

    bellaphone. The response was sent by another noble philosopher and author, Gaston Whitsitt:

    Dear M r. Sel im,

    Can your awareness of yourself be measured?

    Can hope be measured except by actionsperformed as a result of hope?

    Can your knowledge of the value of Char ity betr ansfused to another Gibli ng by actions or words oreven sounder str eam waves?

    M r. Selim, you need to realize that it is only

    you who can measure these parameters for your self .

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    35/206

    34

    These measurements are nontransferable . Many

    communications can be standardized, but these mostprecious truths can only be discovered by what iscalled inself detection . As a matter of fact, vir tual

    sounder streams have been received by manyGiblings. They have described them as a kind ofbur ning at the heart of thei r seed, and it has beensaid that the source of the VS streams is the one

    called Eloh Stoga. See for your self . See if you candetect the sounder str eam of whi ch I wri te here. Lookpast your nose, M r. Selim. I t has been taught to methat i t i s charity itself which provides the power tounderstand ethereal matters like the ones about

    whi ch you have asked in your cir cular questions.

    Sincerely,

    Gaston Whitsitt

    35

    attitude. Gib H imself knew almost f rom the beginni ngthat even though H e loved all the Seeds, that as heinvented their path, that many would choose theTi rachic path toward inward nothingness.

    Luap Selim met a Gibling who made him feelthat his life would have real meaning if he could spendit with her, looking to serve her in the beginning, but

    ultimately looking to serve a famlia that would becreated because of their eventual union. Her name wasMatratha. On their first Close Encounter, she said tohim, I think if I ever unify with a Gibling, I want tohave six Giblings. How about you? and he said,

    Maybe four.

    But he was still intrigued that she wouldtalk about such things on a first C. E. At first, she justmade him feel good because of her great beauty, but heknew that she had already grasped the meaning of life,when he heard her wish to serve a famlia in such acomplete way and so much only in a vision of herfuture. Only a year had passed between that first C. E.and the moment that they joined each other in theirmobius bond.

    Petrock was the first to be born in this famlia,who was their only child for ten years, but thenMatratha was inspired to quest for more Giblings to bewith them, because she knew that there were preciousSeedlings who yearned to come to Seedland forexperience with a famlia.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    37/206

    36

    Luap and Matratha began to gather Giblings totheir famlia from other broken famlia after they learnedthat they could not take part in the actual Seedling -Gibling transformation in Matratha s body. Matrathadeveloped a system with actual sounder stream to addthese precious Giblings to the famlia quiver. Therewere six more Giblings who came into the SelimFamlia Matrix: Abrila, Bloka, Kaista, Celesta, Darcita,

    and Liahona. All of them came into the famlia just asthey would have if they had been a part of the normalSeedling-Gibling transformation, but their syntheticDNA codes were more diverse than the usual. Thisdiverse code mismatch presented an unusual problem

    for Luap and Matratha. But many on Seedland havehad and will have a myriad of variations that whenencountered, add great depth and perspective which isnecessary in the development of any Gibling whowould be on a journey toward any Gibland or heaven.

    Each one of the adopted Giblings came intoLuap and Matratha s famlia as beautiful seeds of hope,

    but Kaista and Celesta came as twins both at the sametime perhaps because they were linked so that theywould be near each other on the vast Seedland where

    billions of Seeds would find themselves without thekind of link that those two needed.

    Abrila was the first to come into the Selimfamlia ten years after Petrock joined by birth. She hada particular lack of confidence; even more so than the

    average Gibling. Like everyone else there she had no

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    38/206

    37

    way of remembering what it was like before she cameto Seedland. She was afraid that what she might dowould not bring her comfort, but would give her anuncertain future of which she was particularly afraid.She needed to learn that none of us have a pureknowledge of what is to come, but that there are manycomponents of causing the future to be a particularway, only one of which is our own hopes and efforts.

    She had to learn that we cannot change the weather, but we can only point our spirits in the direction thatthe wind will carry us, and then be grateful that we canexperience life in that place.

    Bloka was next on the scene. He wasopinionated from the very first, and he had an aversionto staying put. Wherever he was, he wanted to besomewhere else. He needed to learn patience before hecould discern the fine points of navigation on thisintricate and wonderful world called Seedland. After a

    time, he became wise and was able to share his wisdomwith halfway grown Giblings. His teaching skills propelled many into a condition in which they couldevolve even more than they would without hisinvitations to those lucky halfwayers to get up and dosomething more than dream.

    He yearned to share with these halfwayers someof the fine points and connections that he had learnedwhen he was in the field of real experiences, so hedecided to use his teaching talents by teaching moremature Giblings. After eight years teaching thehalfwayers, he went on to teach at the North Meadows

    High School.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    39/206

    38

    Even when he taught there, he was always ontop and in charge of the thinking that went on in classexcept for a few rogue students who were always to

    him the most intriguing.Kaista was a dreamer like Don Quixote who

    wanted to do good with superpowers only granted tohim. He wanted to be a special warrior for the G d. It

    took many years for him to humble himself to knowthat many Giblings want to help, but do not knowexactly what to do, but need to have faith that if hesupports the noble and great ones, he will be carriedwith them to Gibland with vicarious nobility.

    Celesta was a Gibling who wanted to be withthe noble and great ones, but she didn t understand thelessons they were trying to teach her. She just knew asa Seed that Gib Himself was the master builder. Butwhen she came to Seedland, her brain was starved sothat it could not function in a way that would allow herto learn the lessons that normally can be learned byexperience on Seedland. So, she was exempt from the

    being judged for her inabilities. But many Giblings arenot able to grasp certain aspects of reality, so they too

    are exempt from many consequences, and aftermillions of years. All the Giblings will eventually beable to come to an understanding of what they can

    become and what they can do.

    Darcita was a beautiful and delightful Giblingwho started out on Seedland appearing to have great

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    40/206

    39

    potential as an athlete. Early on when she was stillhalfway grown, she developed asthma which changedher development. Many things unknown on Seedlandeffect the development of Giblings, things out of theircontrol and even unknown as aspects that thwartdevelopment. But over the course of eternity, all can beovercome, and the full potential can be reached by allon Seedland who come to the realization that hope and

    effort can overcome all things with the aid of Susej, theEloh Stoga, and Gib Himself.

    Liahona was the youngest in the Selim famlia,and so she was blessed with the opportunity to observemany consequences of various doings or lack of doings

    by her siblings

    Luap always thought he was in alignment withthe charitable way, but found that his famlia did notthink he was really in line with the true principles ofcharity. Selim always wanted his children to becomethe noble and great ones. He told them what to do inorder to be righteous and told them that if they wereTirachic that they would be unhappy.

    Matratha understands things differently thanLuap, and always will, but it is the goal of Luap andMatratha to be joined like the atom in a union thatactually validates reality by the opposing forces thatkeep all matter together. Things matter because and

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    41/206

    40

    only because of the kind of union that occurs so that afamlia can be created. The last puzzle to be solved byLuap and the one that could propel him to Gibland is to

    please his withman, to please her in the fullest sense.He needs to know what makes her tick. What makesher love her famlia to the point just short of sacrificingher happiness for them? Before she met Luap, she hadher own goals and dreams to achieve things, but when

    she joined with Luap, she thought she could becomecomplete enough to endure anything so that theirquiver would be completely fulfilled by the time of thefinal condition. She experienced much sorrow alongthe way beginning with her losing Petrock to cancer

    when he was only 16. The others in the famlia wereloved and spoiled, so they expected to be served andloved by their parents, but did not want to get on withit and be on their own until later than what Luap andMatratha wanted.

    Little did Selim know that it had only beentwenty five years since he began his famlia with hiswithman Matratha. He has not been patient enoughwith his famlia. Selim came to his senses when TheEloh Stoga connected with him by virtual sounder

    stream to convince him that it would be 50 years before his charitic efforts would take hold in the heartsand minds of his famlia. He would be gone by then,

    but, none the less, that was the time line, presented. So,Luap Selim went back to his famlia, giving charity,

    losing himself, feeling like a fool in the short term.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    42/206

    41

    The fifty years passed, and Luap Selim s famliaall became charitors toward the light of happiness.

    Selim, back in the Forgib state, still does notunderstand how his famlia could be happier givingaway than partying and enjoying life while they could.Luap actually thought that it would be a waste of timeto be charitable when he could be having fun. He really

    did not have much fun. He just always wished for andhoped that what he had read in the Gibliotheca wastrue. It seemed like wishful thinking to him.

    Luap and Matratha look back now to theirtime on Seedland, knowing that they tried to teachtheir famlia that, Success follows perseverantwork. a famous quote from Gaston Whitsitt , oneof the noble and great ones from Seedland. Luapalways wanted to remind his famlia that work is

    not like what the seven dwarfs sang about. It is notfun, but the precursor to all happy endings and allmiracles and all creation. Those in the Selimfamlia and many other famlia often would ratherwish on a star and virtually construct a happy

    ending than build it with actual sweat and strain.Luap reminded his own a little too often for themto be comfortable around him. But Matratha wasgenerally a soothing entity in the group, muchneeded so that all would know that they are lovedin spite of the limitations that are just plain

    43/206

    42

    intrinsic in the makeup of the SELIM menagerie.

    Another question Luap Selim asked Gaston

    Whitsitt, Do I really love my famlia, if I wantthem to leave home and be on their own and suffertrials in order that they can grow up in thisdifficult environment on Seedland?

    Gaston Whitsitt said, Dont you know thatGib H imself knew that the Gibli ngs that he fostered,needed to go to the lone and dreary world of Seedlandin order to develop into ones who could reach the f ul lmeasure of possibility?

    Selim noticed right at that point that hecould apply similar triangles and see that the samecould be true for him and his famlia as is true ofthe plan of the Gibs.

    Remember too, that Gib Himself discovered thatmale and female could join in such a way that theycould both oppose and attract each other at the sametime just like the atom itself. Remember that the goalof the Gib Council is that every Seed on Seedland willhave every opportunity to reach the full measure of itscreation. If the seed does not develop on Seedland, itwill not live forever, but every Gibling is most

    precious to Gib Himself because these special spiritswere created from Seeds that were recognized by the

    council as having a sort of kinship with the Most Noble

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    44/206

    43

    of all. So, the Giblings need the freedom to choose the path of Charity or the path of Tirachy. If they choosethe path of the Gibs, that is proof of their viability aseternal charitors, but this will take perhaps millennia toaccomplish. It is they themselves, the Giblings whowill be able to clearly judge their worthiness at thefinal condition. The truth will then be clear to all.There will not be ambiguous words or situations. Truth

    will shine on all of Seedland so that it can becomeanother Gibland from which another outward burst ofenergy can shine toward another wonderful burst ofcharity in an eternal round of wonder, possibilities and

    joy.

    Chapter 4:

    Flux and OppositionThe way that things fit together is not seen

    well by mortals. There is an opposition in allthings:

    Success and Failure

    Light and Dark

    Without failure, success would have nomeaning. Without light and dark, there would benothing to see because there would be no contrast;so forever there will be this balance as part of allreality. In the universe of the Gibs, Charity iscreation and Tirachy is its opposite, selfishness. In

    the beginning, charity was a brilliant flash ofcreation, and so Tirachy, like a bottomless pit, isan implosion from which there is no return. Noreturn at least until the next explosion of charity.The entire universe of the Seeds is in flux, or it

    would be dead with no features at all. Giblings forexample cannot only breathe in; they must breatheout to be alive.

    It is important to understand that opposition

    does not imply that there is conflict in all cases.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    46/206

    45

    Often, opposition is balance, equilibrium, orcompleteness. Sometimes there is an arbitrary linedrawn, and it is said that to the left of the line is

    bad, and to the right is good, but it is the vector ordirection, not just position that defines quality.

    There is a topological figure which can helpus to understand how opposition appears to be

    polarity when it really is a kind of unifying force.The mobius band, pictured below, shows a bandthat has what looks like two sides, but whenstudied, one realizes that there is only one side

    when it is all seen together.

    Opposition is the ultimate perspective bywhich one can perceive the truth of something.Many on planet earth observe what is calledfasting and prayer sometimes once a month. Theydo this because it is said by their noble and greatones that they will be able to appreciate all of whatthey have all the more because they do this ritual.On Seedland there is a saying and a practice: Fast

    on the first and feast on the fifteenth.

    It becomesso clear when they can afford to feast on thefifteenth and can have the restraint to fast on thefirst. It becomes so clear that the seeds of theirexistence are upheld by the creative powers of Gib

    Himself.

    Like the mobius band, the Klein bottle has onlyone surface .

    Eternal Rest sounds like it is for a couch

    potato. Eternal Wrest, on the other hand, sounds

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    49/206

    48

    more like a productive environment withopposition along the way.

    On Planet Earth, there is an experimental methodwhich is employed by intelligent people. Failure is anessential part of it, so it is a well known requirementfor progress on Seedland as well, and many of theGiblings create charitable paths toward a perfect world.Seedland will become a domain at the Final Conditionfree of many of the conflicts which prevent charity. Itwill become Gibland.

    There has always been the question amongGiblings: where is Gibland, or more succinctly, wherewill it be? On Seedland there have been many who

    have speculated how it could be that there could ever be a Gibland, a place where eternity could be enjoyedand where aging of the gibling body would not happen.It was revealed to Thims Fessodge one of the profitsthat Seedland would be transported to the center of

    Dromida after the final condition so that it couldsustain an eternal condition where the Giblings couldwork out their creative skills.

    It had been thought by many of the Seedlandscientists that the center of the galaxy is a place where

    the gravitation is so great that not even light can escapefrom the core. The expression was coined: black holeto refer to the place at the center. It was a Gibling bythe name of Dyon Lewer who came up with the term.

    It became a problem that the name made it soundlike it was dark place from which there is no return.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    50/206

    49

    The first principle of creation is light, so it seemed likea paradox that a black hole could be the ideal placefor Gibland to exist. Even in theory, the black hole wasconsidered to be a place where time stops, but mostGiblings were skeptical about the idea that Giblandcould be in a place where it seems like everythingwould collapse from the intense gravitation.

    It has been observed that the Gibbiverse is

    continually expanding. This was deduced by theobservation of the red shift of light coming fromextremely far distances. It is another example of whatseems to be a paradox to notice that while theGibbiverse is expanding that at the center of galaxies,

    it would seem that the gravitation is so great thateverything collapses into it. The mobius strip showsthat this kind of apparent contradiction is simplydiscarded when the topologic principle is understoodthat opposites are joined to form true reality.

    So, it would seem that the gravitation towardHeaven is intense, but the tendency of matter is tomove away from it.

    One of the most perplexing questions comes upwhen the axiom is stated that Matter cannot be createdor destroyed. If in the beginning Charity is thatoutward burst, from what does it evolve? Even charityitself has its opposite which must be inseparablyconnected. In order to give, one must acquire an excessfrom which to draw. The paradox shows when it isnoted that the acquisition of the excess occurred

    because of Tirachy. The natural selfish beginning of

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    51/206

    50

    things can only blossom as it turns outward with theforce of Charity. Positive and negative forces willalways fluctuate, and the resulting force can only

    produce a wonderful outcome when Gib Himselfoversees.

    The logic of Giblings uses similar triangles toattempt to show the Final Condition to be like the

    present condition. The lines of the so called similar

    triangles are straight, but that is only true if there areno other forces involved. The force of charity isincomplete. Gib Himself discovered that the Gibbingforce does not always work, but in many instances itcan work.

    Not only is the opposition in every thing, butthere are opposite types of opposition:

    1) Opposition at equilibrium or in balance:Addman and Withman, when sharing theiropposite points of view in a compromising manor,

    there is balance. Some opposition is introduced to provide resistance in order that the subject can become stronger so that when opposition betweengood and evil actually happens, the subject isready to combat those forces.

    2) Opposition at war or in flux: Selfishness isat war with charity. Usually, Giblings are facedwith the conflict between the desire to be selfsatisfied and the desire to sacrifice the self for the

    sake of someone else; but that personal battle is

    Chapter 5:

    A School for LearningThe self awareness of a Seed exists without

    consciousness or memory or experience orcognition; but the motive for expansion is driven

    by pure will, the will to serve. Without it there can be no creation of anything at all. There was onlyone of trillions of Seeds near where Dromedacould be that was able to create himself into onewho could serve all the neighboring Seeds their

    needed expansion components:

    Memory , Experience , and Cognition.(Past, Present, and Future)

    Memories, which are part of the brain, must be alive and well nourished in order for the Seedto be able to draw from its experiences so that itcan have evidence to make judgments about thingsoutside the self awareness seed. The greaternumber and the greater variations of experiencesallow for a more charitable and just determinationof what should be done for other Seeds for their

    welfare.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    54/206

    53

    Experiencesare recorded by the Senses ,which are gifts from Gib Himself and are made

    available to the Giblings to evaluate experiencesand to give them memorable features so thatconnections can be made as to the value of things.

    (On planet Earth it is like this: There was a

    Catholic nun who was praying to her God andasked, Why do You give us so many trials? andGod answer ed and said, I allow trials for all mychildren on Earth for their growth and learning.The nun said, Oh, that is why You have so fewfriends! So, many humans on earth and manyGiblings on Seedland do not appreciate therelationship between learning and painfulexperience.)

    Cognition is an innate part of the Seed, but onlydevelops in a positive way by faithful dedicationto the most Gibly of Goals, charity.

    These three parameters build a threedimensional framework for the expansion towardGibly perception and inevitably toward creationitself. So, Seeds could evolve to be Forgibs andthen Giblings on Seedland, according to the plan

    of Gib Himself.

    Chapter 6: An Advocate

    Things become more plausible and more clearand do have more meaning when you put them intoyour own words. And when you share these things andget some kind of affirmation, that magnifies yourconfidence even more. It is particularly Luap Selim s

    problem to accept the idea that The Giver Susej is somuch a part of the plan of Gib Himself. Mr. Selim

    pleaded with GastonWhitsitt to give some input on thatquestion.

    It was put in this way by Mr. Whitsitt, GibH imself cannot be understood at all by Giblingsbecause H e is outside the realm of possibil i ty for themortal point of view on Seedland, so in order thatGibli ngs coul d approach the concept of Gibly char ity,they would have to do so in the context of a perfectGibling which is not possible to find among anycandidates who would all have to be enhancedSeedlings. Gib Himself even f rom the beginning ofhis plan knew that he would have to employ li teral lyhis own physical off spring in the creation of Seedlandand in the turni ng of the Gibli ngs who would dwellthere toward any amount of Gibly countenance. As amatter of fact, Susej would have to in a sense; pul l

    the worthy Giblings into Gibland with his GiblyPowers after the f inal condition. Gibl ings on theirown have no power over such th ings as rebui lding thephysical housing of any Seed great or small , even assmall as a kernel of corn or even the leg of a flea.

    that the gradient from weak to strong does not stopthe weak because of The Principle of Reflectionfrom Gib Himself.

    Discovered things are created by choicefrom an infinite variety of Seeds and bits of realitythat have always been in the soup of potentials.Principles like justice, mercy, hope, humility andflexibility are boundaries and motives for thenoblest building of a reality suitable for a happy

    journey that will never end. Opposition willalways provide the necessary balance for a stable

    reality.Things are invented by taking discoveries,

    and fashioning them with open mindedconnections with the outward perspective of truecharity. If things are invented with no goal but aselfish end, they become extinct after no morethan a hundred thousand years.

    Gib Himself said plainly in his Gibliotheca thefollowing : I discovered charity, the Seeds, hope,opposition, and lastly that all true principles are eternal

    and never change. I invented Seedland and the planthat Giblings can become Gibbers forever. I shunIzhehtinland and the bottomless pit of emptiness.

    As a Gibling begins on Seedland he is totallydependent on his mother. As he grows, developsand matures, he learns how to fit into hisenvironment. Whether he knows it or not, hegathers data from all his experiences andformulates patterns of behavior that will satisfyhim. Unless he is forced to do otherwise, he will

    master his ability to get what he wants and needs.Some, less fortunate do not achieve this ability tosatisfy themselves, and their sojourn ends sooneron Seedland. Sometimes the less fortunate surviveas dependants on those more capable. And the

    Giblings live in varying degrees of dependency.

    As an aside: It should be noted that nothingof charity ever comes up in the mind of a Giblingnaturally as a result of need. Either the motive for

    charity needs to be injected which may not takehold, or it needs to be learned and receivedwillingly from The Eloh Stoga or anothercharitable Gibling, most likely the WithmanMother.

    The world of Seedland is always visible tothe Giblings, but what is beyond is only seen bycertain tools available to them.

    Extrapolation : In mathematics there is anaxiom that states that if something continues along

    a course, it will continue moving in a straight pathunless acted upon by a force. Therefore one can predict the future by looking at a map of the present. Gib Himself had decided that there should be no deception in the education of the Giblings,

    so He said that there would be no extraordinaryforces exerted to thwart the ability of the Giblingsto predict outcome based on the primitive axiom.Whenever there are other forces involved, thoseforces will be clearly marked by the Gibbing

    Council for fairness.

    Similar Triangles : The word, similitude is used

    often to refer to examples that are set for behavior.Those on Seedland are told by their religiousleaders that they should be examples to the lesserGiblings so that they can understand the directionthey should go toward the charitable or Gibly

    condition. The universe for the Giblings has beencarefully arranged in order that they can see thefruits of exemplary behavior. So too: similartriangles do the same thing in mathematics. Thereis an axiom that states that in similar triangles, the

    sides are proportional and the angles are equal.

    Size is not a feature of importance, but direction isvery significant. Gib himself has spoken aboutThe Way. Direction is discernible. If one emulatesGib, it will be plane to the observer that this is so.

    It is important for the Gibling to put himselfinto the role of the smaller but similar triangle ofthe larger seemingly infinite triangle representingGib Himself. It has been said by the Giver that theGiblings should do as he does, should try to belike him, and should try to emulate him, to copyhis moves and attitudes. It cannot be done unless

    the Gibling can know what it is like to have a passion for giving. It is only Seedly on Seedlandor only natural or human on planet earth to

    passionately receive favorable stimuli, but tothrive on giving is thought by many to be

    contradictory. The empath is considered to bedrained by giving. Not so in the Gibly state in theGibbiverse.

    The smaller triangle is only free to expand ifthe limits of the Tirachic attitude and the selfish

    perspective are abandoned for the sake of Charity.A combination of effort and focusing away fromself is the way to grow in the power to create andin the power to become more like The Giver. Aquote from one of the Noble and Great Ones from

    planet earth is, Success follows perseverance

    One problem with the similar triangle analogyis that certain things cannot exist until they reach a

    certain size, so it must be understood that thelarger triangle can have features that cannot existin the smaller one.

    That is why the Gibling often asks thequestion, How could Gib Himself do suchwonderful things for us that we cannot evenimagine could ever be possible ?

    The Gibforce, for example is like one of thosefeatures that cannot be contained in the small

    triangle of the Gibling.

    Cause and Effect : Gib Himself has said thatthe Giblings should do an experiment on the words inthe Gibliotheca. The Giblings will be able to evaluate

    by making simple observations.

    Evidence: Records are kept in the hearts and mindsof the Giblings, so they can judge for themselveswhether their doings are charitable or not.

    Whatever works; use it . The path will becomeclear, and the correct rules present themselves to theGiblings in their quest for the proper direction of theirdoings. Gib Himself learned that there are principles

    that will always apply in all of His universe.

    The Popular Vote: One problem that has beenand will always be is that it is tempting to followwhichever way the wind blows. Instead of doing what

    the world says is right, Eloh Stoga has emphasized thatthe Giblings should follow the things taught throughthe Gibliotheca, because Gib Himself has seen to it thathis wisdom learned over billions of years would bemost clear especially when acquired with the help of

    The Eloh Stoga.

    Diversions: parties, hobbies, entertainment, selfgratification. Many of the Giblings are prone to put offtheir preparation to meet Gib Himself, because itrequires a Gibly commitment to charity. It is natural to

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    63/206

    62

    desire satisfying self first and foremost. It is the naturalGibling to move inward to the pit of the inner Seed, soit is recommended that the ultimate happiness willhappen if the Gibling could graduate to the conditionof Gibhood which would take millions of years evenafter the final condition is instated.

    Chapter 8:

    The Components of Creation:

    In order to create something that will lastforever or for very long, the motive must becharitic; otherwise the entity would collapse out ofexistence, but that cannot be understoodcompletely on the short term of anyone s lifetimeon Seedland. The following are the parameters forcreation from a Gibly perspective. Some of these

    parameters are similar to mortal ones, but thewhole picture requires the mobius map of eternity.The following are the important characteristics ofcreation and attributes of any creator necessary forGibly progression by any and all Giblings who areon the mobius road to success:

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    64/206

    63

    Motive : Charity is the only positive vector.

    Opportunity : Whenever it presents itself isthe time to do a positive action.

    Diversity : Open mindedness will yield the best solution. Variety is not just the spice of life, but the way to true life which is diversity, choice,and freedom. The role of the dice is the way tosuccess, believe it or not, oh Gibling. Some doingsare considered to be mistakes, but they are allnecessary for the full development of any Gibling.

    Selection of the best road is a matter of choicewhich is a sacred privilege granted to everyGibling by Gib Himself as a sort of inalienableright.

    Organization : Clearing the decks for any project, clears the mind. Organization allows theGibling to see clearly what is before him.

    Perseverance : Eternal perspective only presents itself to the mortal Gibling when he putsaside pitfalls, sidetracks, and painful distractionsfor the good of the journey toward the mostcharitable goal.

    Foresight : Predicting a Positive outcome

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    65/206

    64

    with a preponderance of positive ingredients.

    Insight : Seeing that all viable creation isgood and positive and wonderful happens with themost charitable approach.

    Humility : seeing all things from the broadest possible perspective happens when theself is secondary.

    Furthermore , The development of a Gibling ssoul on Seedland only happens when he applies his

    Memory, Experienceand Cognition to a problem or an equation in which his experiences are onone side and the solution or creation is on the otherside. There are unknowns in the equation, but throughtrials of various ingredients, a solution can work andwill work eventually if the Gibling perseveres with a

    positive attitude, because if he seeks, he will find acharitable answer to the equation.

    Chapter 9:The Motive

    All things need to be created because of a positive motive. Selfish motives lead inwardtoward nothing. Creation is synonymous withcharity and hopeful Gibbing. Selfishness leads not

    only to nothingness, but to ignorance and blindness to all positive possibility.

    In order for one to obtain a positive motivewhen one is not present in the Seed, he mustsearch away from himself through the needs ofothers to find a spark of useful direction.

    Any negative motive is by definition,immaterial.

    Without hope there is no motive, so things

    have been created because of motive. If there wereno hope, there would be nothing at all. Hope is the beginning and there is no end to it.

    Chapter 10:Patience

    Many Giblings feel that the ignorantGiblings should be reminded of their ignorance.Over thousands of years, eventually all Giblingswill come to a point of understanding sufficient

    for them to be able to see the path most favorable.Those Giblings who feel so strongly that theyknow better than the ignorant ones will be madelow because they themselves are ignorant to whatis happening in the great sphere of Gib Himself.

    Long suffering may be forever, so thesuffering must be the joy that motivates towardmore creation and more possibilities.

    Over millennia the least deserving Seedlingsand the least capable Giblings could become nobleand great Charitors because of the powerful

    potential of hope.

    Chapter 11: Are We On Dromeda

    All things need to be visible for what theyare, but the problem could be that some do nothave eyes to see and ears to hear. All things in theworld of the Giblings are footprints of everything

    else.On planet earth in the 15 th Century, it was

    thought that the earth was the center of theuniverse.

    On planet earth in the early 20 st Century, itwas thought that the Milky Way Galaxy had all ofthe stars in the universe.

    On planet earth in the 21 st Century, adiscovery was made that there just may be morethan 100 billion gigantic groups of stars and

    planets, each group containing perhaps manymillions of stars. On Seedland, this dreamer, Luap

    Selim was just speculating as he looked into thenight sky about what had been discovered on planet earth about the vastness of the heavens.Who knows if there is a bridge from the fictionalworld of Seedland to the real world of planet

    earth? Who knows if the Gibbiverse may be

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    69/206

    68

    Andromeda and the universe of the earthlings isthe Milky Way? There is so much space betweenthe galaxies of the Multiverse that there is roomfor eternity and a seemingly endless round of

    potential and hope. Who knows how endless thecosmos is? There may be no end to reality and noend to hope.

    Furthermore, on planet earth, the scientificcommunity from one end to the other, fromcosmologists to microbiologists, has said that 95

    percent of what exists is not measurable, from

    dark matter to the DNA switches.But speculating about the unknown is

    dangerous and can be misleading and can befruitless. That is why perspective and open-mindedness is critical in developing a plan foreternal progression. The scientific method has

    been shown to allow a deep understanding of only5 percent of what exists, but we must never giveup trying to discern the most noble and creative

    path toward a Gibly continuance which has beenlabeled The Gift for Gibbing.

    Chapter 12:Potential Drop

    On Dromeda, the electromagnetic spectrumis the same as in the Milky Way. And there is ananalogy that applies in order to explain theGibbing Force. The longer the wire, the greater the

    potential drop in current. The long wire representsa greater spiritual distance from Gib Himself to aGibling on Seedland. The wire represents aconnection that exists because of the Giblingunderstanding the value of charity. The currentrepresents the creative force. Hope is the potentialto create the same way that voltage is the potentialto apply the power of electrical current. The word,current is perfect because creation is always done

    in the present.

    Chapter 13:Passion vs. Calculated Conclusions

    To be confident because you know you areright is one thing, but another is to be passionatein favor of a particular outcome that is in the heartof the Seed. One contradiction that exists in the

    Gibbiverse is that Gib Himself is always acharitable entity, but he is passionate about his

    purposes. Usually passion is considered to be selfindulgent, and it is the natural tendency, but GibHimself has devised a method of turning outwardthe normally inward passion. He does this by adiscipline known as the Denying of UnGiblinessfor the sake of charity. Try it, oh Gibling, if youhave not done so. It requires a learned discipline

    invented by Gib Himself. It was mentioned earlierthat the injected altered DNA codes might not takehold. The Eloh Stoga can supply the needed

    boosts of outwardly directed passion to make it possible for a charitable nature to develop.

    Some of the Giblings believe that when thetruth is known, that the motivation for progressionwill automatically be instilled into the Seed of theGibling; but without passion for another Seedling

    there is no hope for the Gibly direction.

    71

    Chapter 14:Why Rules?

    There are many rules outlined in theGibliotheca. They are guidelines for the

    performance of charity. Giblings resist followingall of them because the motive to enhance self and

    to satisfy the inner Seed is the natural tendencyusually in the front of their consciousness. Manywill say, What do es that have to do withcharity? in reference to the rules.

    These rules are:

    1. Study and copy what The Giver has done and whathe recommends, as recorded in the Gibliotheca.

    Do not misrepresent the truth.

    Do not gratify only for self.

    Many will argue that satisfying self addsstrength to self, and that strength then is used toadvance the cause of charity. But it is not true.Giving always strengthens more than receiving. Inother words: while sacrifice appears to besubtracting from self, it is positive; and whileincreasing wealth for self appears positive, it is

    negative.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    73/206

    72

    It may take more than a few years forGiblings to learn the relationship betweenfollowing the rules and truly enhancing theuniverse. Charity is the only way to add. Theopposite is Tirachy, which is a shrinking of things.

    The Giver has given all the Giblings theopportunity to redirect their goals to be inalignment with charity. He made it clear to manyGiblings who read the Gibliotheca when he said, Gibling regoal! One of the Noble and greatGiblings, Gaston Whitsi tt tried to graph poetically

    the method of regoaling for the masses of theclueless ones this way:

    Review_Regoal_Redo_Resoul. It did nottake too well because it read like a jingle. Gibling

    Regoal,

    became the saying that motivated manyto become creative on the road to an eternal roundof Gibbing. Through virtual sounder stream fromthe Milky Way direction, a parallel expression wasnoted: Sinner Repent. But that expression

    sounded much too dictatorial to most Giblings.

    To many, though, it made no sense to giveand then give more, because all they wanted to dois take care of themselves and be responsible for

    building their own world of comfort and safety.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    74/206

    73

    On the short term everything looks fine and dandywhen Giblings take care of themselves. The Giverknows that in the long term it is Tirachy to dothings only for self. Regoalance is to begin againfor the purpose of realignment with the long term

    positive perspective at the heart of Gib Himself.The Giver says that the Goal of Gib Himself is

    simply that the Giblings join in the throng ofGibbing, but he knows that most Giblings do notsee that gibbing as a throng at all, but only ameans to self satisfaction. They will have somechance to see and think like a Gib by a short

    experience on Seedland, but in the final condition,if the cloned DNA codes do not take hold in theheart of the Seed, it will sadly be Tirachy. To beselfish and to join in with Izhehtin to a Tirachicend is as to become extinct from the perspective ofthe evolutionary scientist.

    Chapter 15:

    Similar TrianglesWhen The Giver said words in the language

    of the day in which he lived on Seedland, they aresymbolic of the actual message. Not only the

    words as sounds represent ideas, but those ideasare representative of larger ideas. One importantexample is his saying, Love your enemy. Thissaying in itself is an oxymoron. In language thereare synonyms for words that can be substituted,

    but some that cannot. The small triangle is, loveyour enemy, the larger one is: Involvement with orregard for lazy bums, losers, selfish pigs, rednecks, sinners, fools, etc. The small triangle iswhat I do; the large triangle is what Gib Himselfdoes. How do I involve myself with the lazy

    bums, and how does Gib Himself involve himselfwith them? There are literally hundreds ofsynonyms for the word: love and the word:enemy.

    Obviously The Giver did not mean that weshould honor or worship a murderer or a terrorist.The Giver wants the Giblings to extrapolate to tryto see that Gib Himself started by providing

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    76/206

    75

    opportunities to the Seeds which allows them to become what it is that they desire to become.

    What the Giblings learn by their experienceson Seedland will mold their attitudes. If a Giblingresents a thief for steeling, he will be unhappy, butif he can possibly enjoy finding a way to serve thatthief by Gibbing to him he will be fulfilled. The

    problem is that it is natural to resent the thief, butGibly to actually find a way to serve him. TheEloh Stoga is the only one who can ultimately leada Gibling to the correct path for serving the thief.

    It just seems impossible or incongruous to try tolift up the thief, but it is the only way toaccomplish Gibbing.

    Chapter 16:Perception and Reflection

    Just think of how wise Gib Himself must beafter billions of years of evolution following therule of charity on beings that will only have asmall inkling of what reality actually is, and about

    80 years, or so, give or take, to figure out thatcharity always yields the most perfect evolution.Gib himself is the best example of perfect

    patience. Those who just watch the perfect virtual play without any painful effort will be damned toremain fixed in the mirror of comfort and bliss.Those who serve others and fail and try and failwill create, because eventually Gibly evolutionwill triumph.

    When the Giblings come to Seedland, theyfeel as if they have everything right there for themto observe so that they can judge what is right andwhat is wrong, and some even feel that there is noright and wrong. If they had millions of years ofexperience to learn about how evolution happensand in the context of their time, then they wouldknow that the best outcome would occur whenthose rules are followed. That is what gives

    authority to Gib Himself that he can bestow on the

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    78/206

    77

    noble and great Giblings who can testify to all inthe finite setting on Seedland that evolution willalways be in the favor of a positive goal. Those onSeedland need to remember and be patient,knowing that even when there is a positive goalmet, there is always negative residue.

    The advice to Giblings by the noble andgreat ones is that it is obviously better to beoutrageously positive than to completely give up

    because there are no positive choices. Considerthat water runs downhill as the inevitable negative

    push of gravity, but the positive push upwardswith the buoyancy of incessant hope is like ahelium filled balloon that cannot be stoppedexcept by a stubborn ceiling of discouragement.

    Within the span of only 150 years on the

    planet earth from the 19 th to the 21 st centuries,there have been so many advances in technologythat if one were to describe cell phones, cameras,computers, automobiles, airplanes, etc. to one in

    the 19 th century, it would be called impossible.That 150 years is not very long compared to the

    perhaps 10 billion years that Gib Himself has hadto be able to organize and accomplish such awonderful setting in which charity can flourish.

  • 8/12/2019 A Taste for Gibbing

    79/206

    78

    They could only Reflect upon the message fromGib Himself through the appearance of The Giverto the planet Seedland. Charity cannot be stopped,

    but some of the unfortunate Seeds who have achance on Seedland as Giblings make a choice forself centered behavior to the point of TotalTirachy or Gibacide. They would rather gratify

    themselves than give away their energy to anyone.If you were to ask him, that unfortunate soulwould say, That is my choice. What is mine ismine, and I will keep it unto myself forever. Thiswould be like diving into a bottomless pit.

    In Seedland, geometry and topology andmetrology are tools that the Giblings can use toextrapolate enough to see a virtual image of GibHimself. Any extrapolation requires what is called

    faith on the planet Earth. That vision is called faithon Seedland too, but on Seedland, tracers showand evidence lines make it clearer because it is afictional world. On the planet Earth, the realitymakes it necessary for faith to be a part ofunderstanding in an extra dimensional way, as in

    poetry, or music, or dance, not just the tracers of afake world. Feelings can be measured, but they arenot proof of any extrapolated super Gib made upin a fantasy.

    Gib Himself has said, I have createdcountless souls from Seeds. There are as manykinds of souls as there are Seeds, and I have

    prepared as many places in my galaxy as areneeded. The places have different things for myGiblings. As many who take part in charity willhave solace in their ethereal being forever.

    The following have been either invented ordiscovered. Discovery implies that the thing

    precedes the discoverer. Invention implies anorganization of things which requires the inventor.

    The things are not the Gib, but the Gib discovers,designs, invents, organizes, and creates, becausehe loves the Seeds and their potential that cannot

    be realized without His Gift for Gibbing.

    Cause and effect is a law, a basic law that cannot be broken. Natural laws make outcomes not only predictable, but impossible to overcome. Ethics, rulesto follow and rewards also are things, one followinganother. Gib Himself has discovered and outlinedmany cause and effect patterns that have taken millionsof years to confirm, but in some cases these discoverieswere discovered immediately. In essence, the rules thatGiblings hear and often resist are simply those ruleswhich, when followed will yield what has been coinedGibbing or charity or creation, all identical terms

    cherished most by the Gibbing Council.

    Chapter 17: Gibly Traits

    In the Gibliotheca there is a list of Gibly traitswhich are the ones that allow Giblings to evolve toa Gibly condition, but it must be understood thatin most cases, the natural state will prevail. Only

    when the Gibling perseveres throughout hissojourn on Seedland fitting the Gibly traits into aneternal commitment that he can enjoy the ability tocreate in an eternal round. Here is a listing ofsome of those traits:

    Realizing limits equals humility.

    Being committed to creation equals charity.

    Denying natural tendencies equals shunning theTirachy.

    The most important Gibly trait is love. GibHimself as supported by the Gibbing Council wasresponsible for instigating the invention of thesolution to the problem that the Seeds in theGibbiverse could never enjoy his level ofhappiness without the construction of Seedland asa place for the Giblings to learn about charity and

    its effect. One of the Giblings, Luap Selim said,

    There is nothing more stunning, perplexing andamazing than the thought that we are here on thiswonderful planet Seedland because Gib Himselfthrough The Givers work created the setting. No tonly that, but in the Gibliotheca, it is written thatSeedland is one of many worlds that exist just sothat the seeds in this Gibbiverse can reach the

    measure of their existence.Extrapolation is a necessary tool for any

    Gibling to be able to understand what Gibly loveencompasses. The Giver s name shows that he is

    the personification of giving. There beingopposition in all things supports the truth of thefollowing: The ultimate sacrifice yields thegreatest reward. Again: A good deed is its ownreward. This concept seems like an invention, but
