Helpful Acts Supports

Introduction to the simple system

Posted on by
It makes sense that this explanation of the likely, simple divine system woudn’t occur on Earth untll the message could be sent to, and understood, by most residents throughout the planet. That’s reasonable. There are 5 main reasons why this explanation became possible after the year 2000.
For the first time, residents throughout this planet are much-connnected, instead of totally separated because of the former geographic distance. And there is sometimes enough comfortable physical survival which eventually allows certain people (like this author, partly due to his intense early education) to concentrate on and describe this likely system. Also, worldwide communication is now very quickly possible … through this website on the Internet (via the author’s son Daniel–this resulted from the fact that, unexpectedly, it took till May 2013 for the author to realize that a worldwide communication of this simple system was part of the process).
This explanation can now be sent both readably and understandably translatable to many of the various languages worldwide–the company Google put that possibility online in “Googletranslate”. There’s also now been an increase in technological understandings, plus access to small digital things like smart phones among many people throughout the world; and in many countries–in which most families cannot afford to purchase their own computers–there are what’s called “Internet cafes.”    
This website includes both the briefer essay, titled “The Apparent, Simple Universal System,” written in mid-2012 to Jan. 2013; and the supports found in the former, short  book–titled “Helpful Acts In New Phase”–written in 2011. Then, in May 2013, the process unexpectedly continued: the author’s son put together in May 2013 this website: <<helpfulacts.info>> . Now, through a website, this system’s simple explanation can be sent through the entire world … plus, with a quick conversion by most readers into their desired language–there are dozens of website languages (thanks to “Google”) presently available worldwide.
They are both being included in this website for the following reason: like this book-to-essay transition, there’s also been a recent transition from the centuries-long books-printing which older readers are used to. That transition came after the beginning of book-production around 1439, through inventor Johannes Gutenberg; it led to the spread of learning among masses of people. Now there’s a worldwide, online method that middle-aged and younger readers are used to; that transfer from books came about as a result of what’s called the “digital revolution.”
The related short book–titled “Helpful Acts In New Phase”–(it’s supports of this system are in a separate file here)  was written and released first in 2011. The later 2012 Essay (both have had multiple revisions in the Spring-season of 2013) is being entirely put in this website because the essay’s very similar but shorter explanation is preferable for middle-aged and younger readers in countries like the United States … since they have been exposed to much briefer explanations and supports during life than older people such as this author. Older U.S. people have always been used to longer, printed books rather than the many brief explanations readable now online; but nowadays there’s a much faster pace in many people’s lives. 

5-2-13 Discover mag. quote related to this parenthesized “question & answer” in essay–(Are there other universes? “maybe yes, maybe no”)

Posted on by
In the Dec. 2012 magazine, in the article When Universes Collide, there’s this, on p. 74: “Matthew Johnson of the Perimeter Institute in Ontario conducted the most exhaustive survey last year, but his results have been equivocal at best. His team identified eight possible disc-shaped features in WMAP (that’s an abbreviation of Wilkinson Microwave Anistrophy Probe) images warranting follow-up analysis …” This quote illustrates the current status of the “maybe yes, maybe no” aspect of the question “Are there other universes?” in the essay. Even though humanity has reached the realizations at various times over the last 300 or so years that there IS definitely our solar system, our galaxy, and this universe, this Discover quote backs up the idea that an aspect of uncertainty DOES exist in the divine system. And thus a large amount of certainty can be enjoyed by humans through helpful acts.

5-1-13 Various Millenial Quotes From “International Thesaurus Of Quotations” Related to this Divine “System”

Posted on by
The author regularly reads a page or two each day of the “International Thesaurus of Quotations” (the edition copyrighted in 1996; compiled by Eugene Ehrlich and Marshall De Bruhl). Occasionally, quotes there which seem to refer somewhat to elements of the divine “System” described in this website, so they’ve been repeated: 
 Subject–“Temperament”: “There is no harbor of peace / From the changing waves of joy and despair”–Euripides, Ion,  421-08 B.C. … 
Subject–”Theology”: “The most tedious of all discourses are on the subject of the Supreme Being”–Emerson, Journals, 1836. This quote is in agreement with this item on p.5 of the book-text: “In order for this helpful simple system to spread across and be embraced by lots of people worldwide in different cultures, it has to leave out mysterious details about God’s nature–since those rely on beliefs, not ACTIONS … and beliefs vary so much; whereas actions are either good or bad for everyone, in all cultures.”

4-29-13 Helpful Acts also seem “close enough”–like the system’s description

Posted on by
(As mentioned in the first of of these “Recent Thoughts”, on 4-22-13), the “close enough” metaphorical conclusion of a 92% to 98% estimate of the reasonability of this description because of the impossibility of a “perfect” sense of CERTAINTY by humans about every detail of the system set up by God, the switch from beliefs to helpful ACTS also makes sense now. Similarly, it’s impossible to be CERTAIN that ALL helpful acts will–throughout the future–provide perfect positive benefits (since we humans are “inside time” … though the benefits are almost always very obvious early)–but it seems that helpful acts are also repeatedly “close enough” to a sense of CERTAINTY  … as is the likely universal system described in the book-text and essay.

4/29/13 “Extremely-Huge” Boss over “Big” Boss; & the “projection nature”

Posted on by
Recently this author described to two of his children that God was a BIG boss; I later figured that such an adjective was far too much of an understatement–which led to “EXTREMELY-HUGE” rather than “BIG.” A couple days later, I realized that my word “boss” was a great example that
the milleniums-long internal consciousness of “projection” onto God (of the realities which applied to humans)  existed just as much in me as in previous humans. A classic example of “projection” onto God is the assignment to God  of “gender”; God is almost-always referred to as a “HE.” Another example–also mentioned in the book-text–is the assumption of the “inside-time judgments” by God of humans; that after they die, God does what humans regularly do (“HE” “JUDGES” … that each human will eternally go to heaven OR hell  [or, before heaven, an eon-long stay in temporary-hell–purgatory]).

The human belief in an eternal heaven or hell is a classic reminder of the concept of opposites-focus in our brains, first mentioned in the book-text.

4/27/13 – Second Cause of Atheism-Increase worldwide nowadays

Posted on by
In addition to the mention in the book-text and essay of the  information-increase worldwide nowadays (which has contributed to the atheism-increase nowadays too–since the common concept has been for millenia that God, like humans, is INSIDE time), this second cause of atheism-Increase nowadays occurred to the author recently: because humans have more and more technological-abilities nowadays to view and work with smaller and smaller factors (increasing-recent examples are the varying  numbers of genomes in different species, microbes, tiny atom parts, plus many more), the millenial human assumption of the connection between God’s “knowings” and  human “knowings” has strongly been reduced; now, more and more people conclude that there must NOT BE a God.
Because of greater familiarity more so by scientists now than other humans of things like the tiny biological aspects of humans, plus the millions of microscopic matter-parts, etc, (and the much-desired “certainty” that people feel from atheistic beliefs)  it figures that now approximately 3 of 5 scientists have an atheistic belief.   
Because of the increasing Atheistic beliefs (plus the increasing information about tragedies in our entire world, plus the increasing intensity of many worldwide beliefs), it makes sense that there would be a switch now from
an emphasis on beliefs to the certainty worldwide of helpful acts.

4/25/13 A couple more Dictionary-definitions of “Eternal”

Posted on by

There is a reference in the essay that the first definition of “eternal”–in the  3rd edition of the American Heritage Dictionary (copyright 1993)–is “outside of time.” It’s revealed in the book-text that this definition followed scientific evidence (beginning around 1960) that the universe (which was formerly often thought to be “eternal”) began about 13.7 billion years ago, in what was referred to as the “Big Bang.” In the Free Online Dictionary, the first definition is “Being without beginning or end; existing outside of time”; in older dictionaries, a common definition was “time without end”; that certainly includes the eternality feature, but also includes the taken-for-granted aspect that there is a relationship between eternality and the passage of time (particularly because that definition refers only to the “non-end” of time, but ignores the “non-beginning” aspect of time); however, since the “Big Bang” discovery, there’s gradually more and more dictionary- definitions which include the totally “outside of time” aspect of eternality. That gradual change in many dictionaries could take decades more after the previous, lengthy, multi-millenia, concept by humans.

4/22/13 Perfect-knowledge by humans of God’s System is impossible–but this website’s info seems “close enough”

Posted on by

In the introduction of the essay which follows the book-text, it’s said that “It’s impossible for humans to KNOW all the ancient details of the universal divine system.” The purpose of this item is to elaborate a related aspect:   There’s NO WAY  for any human-beings to perfectly describe God’s system. However, this book-text and essay is–to it’s author–“close enough.” The metaphorical explanation is this: if the number100% is considered “perfection,” each of the explanations related to the divine system are thought to vary somewhere between 92% and 98% .

Recent Thoughts Related To Book-Text & Essay’s “System”-Info

Posted on by
…by author Mike Stofka, beginning April 2013
Another transition now along with the logical movement from the 800-year phase which emphasized beliefs to the emphasis on helpful, charitable ACTS by humans–is the reliance in our “digital revolution”(after a 560-YEAR era of books-publishing)–to an inexpensive, worldwide-accessible website in which this info can be repeatedly-altered a little each week (instead of the lengthy waits for, and expensive costs of, new editions).     

Again, the key item in the divine system described in the book-text and essay is certainty vs. uncertainty–it figures that an outside-of-time God would set up a system in which the only sense of the much-desired preference for certainty in species like humans would occur earlier in history through religions–but, once the species acquired much greater knowledge of the actual universe and more-modern functioning–a strong sense of CERTAINTY could be largely achieved worldwide by specie like humans through helpful ACTS … since such simple actions could be appreciated by ALL human cultures.
