Thrive, the film: A review

There is a lot to like in the Thrive movie. Foster Gamble had the time and money to follow his interests and he put together a compelling set of facts that largely define our existence in this universe and on this planet. However, in his conclusion, where he lists what is to be done, we see that a gap in his understanding of the torus leads to an incomplete vision of human potential.

Basically it boils down to this: early on, when Gamble is giving examples of how the behavior of the torus is manifested throughout the universe, he never mentions the heart.

The reason for this seems to be that Gamble came to the torus through his study of the sacred (two and three dimensional) geometry that was left to us by ancient civilizations, both terrestrial and extra-terrestrial. This seems to limit his understanding of the torus as a four-dimensional (topological) phenomenon.

Instead, www.solomonsproof.com/ conceives the torus as describing the behavior of quanta, which reveals a number of factors that are not addressed in Gamble’s torus.

For example, consider that light has the properties of a particle and a wave at, apparently, the same time. In Gamble's and his subject matter expert’s (Nassim Haramein of the Resonance Project) steady-state model, the torus appears to be a constantly regenerating wave. In order to behave as wave and a particle, Haramein’s model must be altered to expand and contract, as well as turn inside out, to wit:

Once these adjustments are made, the torus once again meets its topological requirements as both a sphere and a doughnut, not just a doughnut as in Haramein’s model.

This not only explains how light (quanta) is both a wave and particle, but it gives us a model that reveals how, as the complexity of matter develops through the compounding of light (evolution), the heart is a perfect representation of light.

The heart, of course, is the first organ in vertebrates (the brain develops from the heart) and the body develops around the heart in a toroidal fashion. So, the heart and circulatory system as a torus (see illustration below) turns out to be the central message: it tells us that light (quanta) expresses itself in us through the heart. As http://www.solomonsproof.com/ shows, conscious spiritual evolution is heart-centered and leads to sharing--just as all the spiritual masters have always taught.



Blood circulation from the human heart as a Quantum-Torus.The heart is the first functional organ in a vertebrate embryo, thus signifying that Love is the basis for our existence.


But Gamble never mentions sharing. Instead, after an excellent analysis of how private control over the money creation process has led to a multitude of problems, he ends up proposing an economic and political program that could just as well have come from Ron Paul: End the Fed; create “sound money”; and let the principle of non-violation of persons and property be our guide to individual liberty!!!

As you may know, there are a couple of very different groups that agree on ending the Fed, including the American Monetary Institute (AMI), which heavily influenced Dennis Kucinich’s bill (the NEED Act), Ron Paul, who believes in “sound money” (currency supposedly backed by gold), and the Public Banking Institute, which is critical of both AMI’s 100% reserve requirements on bank lending (which would cripple economic expansion as value increases) and on Paul’s update of the bankers’ scam of pegging a currency to a commodity (gold) on which they have cornered the market.

Gamble mentions alternate currencies and moving money to community banks and credit unions (good), but never touches on public banking, which means he is proposing the continued use of interest as a means of creating new, debt-based money, instead of credit-based money.

Here we are on the verge of the next evolutionary step in human development and Gamble’s proposal never addresses the unsustainable effects of charging compound interest on money (which should be a public utility, just like power). Yet previously, he suggests that we should have "free energy," based on prototypes of devices that tap into the principles of the torus. If power should be virtually free, except for maintenance (including capital improvements), then why should we be using interest to charge for money?

As all the spiritual masters have taught, interest is a crime against humanity. Why? Because value is created by human beings, not by abstractions and inanimate objects! Without human beings, natural resources are used according to instinctive needs, and rarely are inter-being transactions accounted for by using objects that are independent of the resources involved. In layman’s terms, this means that plants and animals do not generally use money or other objects as a “circulating medium” to trade with others.

How do human beings create value? Through their labor! If an hour of labor is worth $10 and you and I work 8 hours, then we each have created $80 of value. If you loan me $10 received in this manner and charge me interest, you are deflating the value of our labor and inflating the value of this abstraction, money, that we have agreed to use as a means of accounting for our labor. In that instant, you put money above people. This is the nature of capitalism—capital is at the center of the system, that is, money (and profit) is valued above people and the environment. This is exactly what spiritual texts mean by “worshiping false gods.”

Gamble justifies a system based on these false gods by arguing that individual rights supersede all other rights, because bad governments have used "group rights" to enslave people. Hmmm. Bad governments have also used the term "liberty" or "individual rights" to do the same. As Huey Long once said, “Of course we will have fascism in America, but we will call it democracy!”

Ultimately, the only protection we have against our shadows, our lower selves, is to evolve. Unfortunately, the economic solutions that Gamble proposes are more about protecting his investments than protecting anyone’s rights. He extols his solution as containing the best of both liberal and conservative practices, as if these inside-the-box philosophies, both of which are now captives of the banking cartel, have any relevance to a more evolved universe built upon the lessons derived from the quantum-torus, including its heart-centered manifestation within us.

It’s disappointing to see someone come all this way and not get the key piece.
