Prelude:

A Really Short History of

(the absence of) the Universal Truth

Alas, the comfort of having the Universal Truth is denied to us.

Then, the question is why and how is it possible now, but not before? First of all, what is at issue here is to reveal the Truth so that it can be known and understood and, most of all, lived for all of us. It’s the Holy Grail, the Universal Truth, every intellectual in history coveted but failed. The source of this unprecedented and most ambitious confidence is The Current Information Revolution. Yes, it is way bigger than even hitherto supposed. On the other hand, more than a half of us do not have access to such a miracle. What good is a miracle if half of us don’t have access to it? The miracle of all is that being connected.

The key term here is universal. There might as well have been a few, for instance, sages or prophets who discovered and even experienced the Truth, but it was not universally accessible by everyone even after reasonable efforts and resources and education unlike, say, scientific truth:

When we finally learn the underlying laws of Nature, they’ll be so simple and beautiful that we’ll wonder why they weren’t obvious from the beginning.

- John Wheeler, a physicist

As we shall see here, the language guy in Physics, Dr. Wheeler was right when he reminded us of the prime attribute of the Truth itself: simplicity. Somehow, we’ve known it all along. It hides right in front of us and yet is too simple for us to see. Some of you will experience it here and now: there is nothing like it, literally. The test of the Truth is simple. It ought to explain everything. Thus, let it begin.

The experts and the scholars in each and every discipline are invited to locate the implications of the Truth revealed here in their fields and develop them as it first uncovers the most fundamental constituent of the Universe which everything and everyone is from and based upon. To put it in a different way, it is a key for a scholar or an expert in each field to understand the most elementary unit of the Universe to reach the point of the Truth via the language of its own discipline. But then, as you shall see here, it’s actually from A to Z, let alone being the most elementary unit of the Universe.

First, let us investigate and reveal the Correlation of Religion and the Current Information Revolution and Quantum Mechanics. Yes, there is a common denominator behind these three biggest revolutions in history that can lead us to meet nothing less than the Universal Truth itself here and now.

What’s so particularly special about our era that can unearth the Universal Truth to us for the first time in history? For one thing, we now begin to know and even experience what it is like when, at least, things are connected with the arrival of the current information revolution(i.e., the Internet): we’ve never been connected with each other because of sin as far as we remember or not. This is the first time in the history of human civilization that anything at all is connected at a meaningful scale; and that is what’s so new and relevant about the Internet. However big a deal it might be even as it is, the question is if it can inspire and help us to imagine and dream and realize to be re-connected with each other and with God, that is Salvation.

It seems our alienation with each other and with God has only gotten wider with time: Before is always better. When literally everyone is unfailingly a sinner without an exception and when sin is the root of our being alienating from each other and from God, it seems only natural. We do not seek after being saved from sin. We simply take it as the final actuality of human nature. Therefore, it is no longer possible to take what we read in the newspaper seriously. To put it differently, it is time to truly seek Salvation, not tomorrow as tomorrow is easy. Salvation means being literally saved from our sin for which, by the way, Jesus came to earth over 2000 years ago. It is more than a recent event if we are to consider the whole age of the universe. But it still hurts especially when it allegedly kills us all. Therefore, its implication is nothing less than earth-shaking for the entire human race. It’s just that we are simply not used to a change at this big a scale. Everyone now, given a chance, does not have to give up the whole thing.

It is more than a matter of novelty to note that we are the first and last generation who have lived before and after the Internet. Accordingly, it gives us a unique chance, as far as our human race with its short history is concerned, to do something exceptional; that is to make much needed but unprecedented changes.

It’s not like "you are a sinner and I am not.’’ Absolutely everyone is a sinner, which is why it takes the absolute to free us from sin as emphasized before. This is what makes it intrinsically, if not impossibly difficult, for us to see and discern sin just as it was difficult to notice Gravity because the force was pulling everyone on earth.

We’ve never seen a world with no sinner in it which makes living in the time of the sinless Jesus exceptional; but you and I never lived in his time. We only have the record, the New Testament of the Bible in the biblical tradition which is not an ebay book to understand. We simply do not know what it is like living in a world where we are connected with each other. Instead, we do know what it is like living in a disconnected world, too well which has been literally the story of our lives; and therefore, what do we fear most? Other people. Therefore, you prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet¹

Thanks to the Internet, we now have some idea on the difference between being connected and not being connected at a meaningful scale for the first time in history. Even when our Personal Computers(PCs) and phones and things were not connected, we’d thought, for instance, PCs were fine just as we think our living was and still is fine without being really connected. Remember the stand-alone PC era before the Internet arrived at our fingertips? We thought PCs were neat and wonderful doing many cool and amazing things for each user even without being connected to other PCs through the Internet. It’s a wonderful life. Or is it?

Once we get connected and live it, we’ll not want to go back to the way we were. The miracle of the current information revolution gives us an excellent analogy that is simple but unprecedented as to seeing and experiencing the difference between what it’s like living in a sinful world and a sinless one. That is
