  3. I would like to understand the journey that we take from this life to the next, perhaps as described in the Egyptian “Breathe” writings:

    Welcome to the beginning of the way
    To enter once again the presence of the God of Light
    And to change your nature forevermore…

  5. I would want to know all about Aspberger’s Syndrome and how to completely cure it and why so many children are Autistic in this day and time!! Are the parents the carriers or is it the shots given to our youth in their formative childhood years that has made them this way. I have an Autistic Child and I am consumed with the hows and the whys!!!! It is sooooooo not fair and life is not fair but yes, WILL WE EVER FIND A CURE FOR THIS SYNDROME? It is our children and the future that matters. I love looking for the treasure chest but truly want to know about my child’s future and how he can claim his place in the world where so many are cruel to him! Many unaware of what this illness really is and how we all need to work together to help sufferers and let their true lights shine through in this crazy angry cold misguided world. My son, Cole wants to be an Animator and I will do anything in my power to see his future ambitions come true. He has Aspberger’s Syndrome with ADHD. Both disorders duke it out slowing him down and hyping him up. He is on Medicines and even that does not completely slow him down…..These illnesses are treatable but not curable! Why? is on my tongue all of the time and how to cope with such an amazing, frustrating, awesome, exhausting contradiction to himself wild child is where I am right now. Where is the cure and how can I find it among the tall mountains, below the home of browns and the walk is always tarried with a marvelous gaze but is truly no place for the meek. We are both brave and hidden in the woods as not to tread on anyone else’s interpretation of what or who Cole should be in other’s eyes!! That is not right, we fight every day for his place in school and for his education UNDERSTANDING is the key and it should be imprinted in other’s to have compassion and love for on another not to bully and make fun of something they know nothing about. My search and its journey is to find my child the peace, love and acceptance he seeks!!! To gain understanding from others of his weaknesses ,a help him use them and overcome them to find his place and leave his mark ;are what I SEEK for my son along with all Autistic ADHD children and their parents or caregivers…. This quest is huge the fortune I seek is long in coming and will take some further time to discover. God Bless the Children and keep them safe and in His Care. We all need to follow the path of LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING of our fellow human beings to survive and gain a greater introspection into ourselves and how we are all connected here on this planet!!!! Put yourselves in one another’s shoes and look through that other person’s eyes for just a short while. Walk in their path and feel the pain and struggles just to belong , to be accepted ! It will change your prospective on how others live and how they try to survive on a daily basis. Discover we are all connected and should live as one mind and one heart. This is what my search phrase is ” AUTISTIC LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find a cure and soon….Ms. Girl

    1. Hi Judy Ms Girl, thank you for your refreshing, positive outlook. I’m sorry for all you must go through with your son’s autism. I have friends with an autistic daughter and realize some of the hardships involved. Perhaps your community has a support group. How old is Cole? I will remember you both in prayers. God bless.

      1. Cole is 14 and he is a handful but we would not have it any other way. Thanks for replying. He went with my Mother and I to NM last summer of 2012 and had a major adventure with us looking for the Chest. It was a wild trip from MS to NM, we stayed two weeks……Merry Christmas and all of us needs prayer, thanks for yours!!!! Where are you from and are you looking for the lock box like the rest of us?

        Judy Ms.Girl

        1. Judy Ms. Girl: Hang in there with Cole, boys in their teens are definitely a parenting adventure. One question for God is why doesn’t each kid come with a specific instruction manual. In hindsight, I believe we are given the children we are designed to love better than anyone else could, and as God brings us to our knees we become humble. My sons are grown and only one has been able to search with me. Since I was raised in Montana I search what I know and where I love best. I’ve enjoyed it but my attention to ttotc was purposeful and in Novemeber I believe my purpose was fulfilled. Not sure how much more time I’ll dedicate to solving clues. As you know it can be consuming and takes away from time spent with family. I was content before I learned about ff’s treasure and will be content when I quit searching.

  8. The origin of matter is what drives me crazy. We are told that the definition of the big bang was an explosion in the vacuum of space. If there was matter that exploded, every piece of the original material would travel at 90 degrees to its center, and each piece would be hurled on an exclusive path separating in distance from each other the farther they traveled away from the center of the ignition.
    If this is so, how were the other elements ever created without a collisions? Remember there is no gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward any other physical body having mass, and if they are all traveling at the same speed, separating in distance at every moment how could it be that one of the particles made a 180o turn (kept-up its speed) to collide with another particle to produce the first element? Without that happening, we don’t exist, and Fenn can’t hide the goods! 

    Gil

    1. Gil, you’re in the company of brilliance and the simple minded, for we all question Existance and its inception. For me the big bang theory is roughly equivalent to saying fire crackers were thrown into the dirt, an explosion happened, the result was a human being with a brain containing 86 billion neurons. Consider Einstein, Ptolemy, Socrates, Davinci. The insect kingdom and phylum alone are an amazing argument for intelligent design which evolves and adapts to its environment over time. Here is an example which illustrates intelligently designed creation functioning with evolution: a wild octopus who has never seen or held a glass jar with a screw on lid can figure out how to unscrew the lid in seconds if it holds food the octopus eats. IMO fireworks or a random Big Bang doesn’t explain creatures as well as an intelligent Creator. Just ideas to consider.

  10. Thank you FF for your question,
    I would have to answer
    TRUTH
    If you know all about a subject, that is not the same as knowing a subject.
    You can know all about bicycles, that is not the same as bicycling.
    Perhaps knowledge, by itself is not as valuable as we have been led to believe.
    The value is in the experience. The truth of it.

  12. 42 – Sometime in the past, maybe TVs Discovery Station TV I’ve seen that Octopus open that jar. Although I was only an average student in high school, it never stopped me from mentally dissecting thoughts about the universe. Here is another one that bothered me:
    Our entire body is made up of round cells, billions of them and all earth’s matter is made-up of Atoms/protons/neurons (all are round). Look into space and what do you see; round planets, the sun and other stars…all round? They make-up what we call our universe. My question is: What if all that can be seen through mankind’s most powerful telescopes (the universe) is nothing more than another round cell (one of billions) making up something even bigger)? In other words, like the round cells in the human body, our universe, is one of billions of universes making up something even bigger, and that too must be round. Why should the pattern ever stop? It boggles my mind. Maybe I’m going a bit overboard and this is not the forum to bring up such thoughts, but ff open the door by reversing the question, and I thank him for allowing me to get it off my chest.

  16. I would like to know everything about NOTHING. I remember my first college professor asking her new Freshman class to write a paper on Nothing. I was elated and thrilled at the opportunity. At last I was going to get an in depth education and what better question to start off the new semester!
    I immediately went to the local University library to unveil the answer. This was an academic challenge like I had never seen before so apart from my own wanderings, I wanted to see what scholars had posed on the subject.
    To my surprise, there was very little written on the subject (1965). ‘Surely there must be more,’ I said to myself.
    ‘Nothing is the opposite of EVERYTHING!’. So I grabbed the few hardbacks that I could find on the near empty shelf and hurried to the secluded, heavy oak table in the corner and spread out my find.
    Hours past like minutes, and minutes passed like hours. I was totally into nihilism and subatomic particles. When I condensed the matter into a single written paragraph, I was exhausted and fatigued like I had been in the ring with Sonny Liston.
    Next class, I handed in the work I had crafted to the minimalist, reminiscent of Honest Abe. The following week, Professora handed back the papers complete with corrections in red ink and with grades centered at the top. My look of amazement must have been something like a reflection in a Fun House Mirror, exaggerated and bemusing to the casual observer. ‘A QUESTION MARK????!!!!’
    I looked over to shoulder of the guy sitting next to me and he got an “A” and to my left, the girl got a “B.” This was no joke! Why the question mark?
    I stepped to Professora’s desk and asked for some kind of feedback on what just happened to me. She told me she didn’t quite know what I had written and if I’d just take a seat, she was going to call on some of the better papers in class. I returned to my desk, slumped in my seat and surely going into catatonic shock, I started doubting my own existence.
    Professora called on the guy next to me with the “A” paper. ‘Nothing is going to a closet and not finding any clothes on the hangers. Nothing is seeing an empty waste paper basket. . . . . ” and so on and so forth. OOOOOps! I began to chuckle inside, that uncomfortable chuckle I’ve developed when I realized I’ve been played for a fool.
    I left the class during the bathroom break and never looked back. If Professora didn’t understand what Nothing truly is, how can she teach me what everything else is?
    I guess I’m just plagued by curiosity.

  20. Stem cells. Mainly why our bodies stop producing them as we age, what in the body triggers this decline in production. If I could know all about this I would be able to stop or possibly repair the aging process. I’ve got a couple leads but it’s hard researching something as an undergrad when men who stand on the books of giants instead of becoming a giant themselves attempt look down on you with doubt in their eyes. After all if they hadn’t thought of it or done it themselves how could a simple student do it. That is kind of why I’m into the whole treasure thing. I don’t want to worry about bills or rent or anything and can devote as much time and effort into this project of mine.

  21. Limited to one subject is crazy but here goes:
    What is the reason for a birth? If God has a plan then we are part of that plan from the second we are conceived everyone has their part to play and then their exit. Because if there is a reason for our conception then there is a reason for our death. Why are some to lead such a glamorous fulfilling life while others struggle just to survive? Why are some mean and ugly while others are kind and gentle. Why do some die early and others live too long?

    1. my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, hosea 4;6… To understand the present, you need to understand the past, like a book read in the middle, so start in the beginning, before adam and eve. .. The world that was (tohu va bohu) Hebrew word for became waste… Once upon a time there was a war in heaven (wherever God is, that’s, heaven, and the devil drew 1/3 of mankind unto the earth, roughly estimating 1/3 of billions of souls God created, followed the devil, so God ushered this age, (flesh world age) to give people free-will… Your soul, my soul, has existed before this flesh world age, and NO, it’s not reincaratation =carne, we lived in spiritual bodies then, BUT TODAY, WE LIVE IN WHAT IS CALLED MYSTERY BABYLON, the u.s.a. is mystery Babylon, and she’s in the process of being destroyed. The end simply is these, “the end of satan, the destroyer ruling here in planet earth. the devils 4 hidden dynasties, zech 1;19, these are the HORNS(horns symbolized as POWER) that scattered, Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem. 1. he controls ALL governments of the world. 2. he controls ALL educations systems. 3. he controls ALL economies of the world. 4. he controls the majority of ALL religions in the world, including Christianity, for most religions have LEAVEN, in them, false doctrines, trust no man, search your own truths…I believe most Spanish people belong to the tribe of Judah, Benjamin, or levite, and the rest of the tribes are scattered through out the u.s and also ALL over the world, You’ll find that NM has a rich history of the crypto jew, Sephardic jews, example Albuquerque, meaning apricot tree, is a name that the crypto jews used to hide their identity, (crypto jews hide their identity with their last names MartinEZ velasquEZ, manzanarEZ,(apple) Eretz Israel, you are Israel, for the INQUISITION MURDERED MANY, and soon people forgot their heritage… As for good and bad, it’s my belief that people allowed ”little creatures”’ to live in their temple, and they YOKED with them, becoming one in personality behavior, the mysteries of life are ALL in the bible, you just have to seek them out… the language that’s spoken here in nm is called ladino, a mixture of Spanish, Hebrew, and latin words….It’s sad that here in the USA, could care less about the word of God, and the reason being is that the USA was blessed because of God, ((spoiled people, other people from other countries frequently mention the WASTE, and SPOILED behavior of americans) but that’s coming to an end…. It’s sad to say, but what ive seen in my life time, ONLY in SEVERE TRADEGIES do people find humility, respect, and honor, and appreciation…APPRECIATION IS KEY TO HAPPINESS…appreciating your wife, kids, house, car, maybe just water, a smile, someone good, maybe, APPRECIATION IS KEY TO HAPPINESS…freewill, I decide, but remember, this little creatures, tempting you to be someone else, BE YOURSELF, fight to be better, for to be good, is a hard fought battle….All our righteous acts are the linen we were in heaven, it’s all written in the bible, the love letter sent to us by God, but before it was written in books, it was written in the heavens, starting with virgo, and ending with the lion, the KING returning to re-claim the earth!!!! The pyramid of Giza, representing 144,000 pillars of God who will in the END, STAND, true-blue, loyal servants who understand, and who will stand against the WATCHERS, (BOOK OF ENOCH), they are coming, and God gave them only 5 months to deceive, and then the end will come, and the beginning of a new era, 1000 year reign of Christ…. The alpha and the omega, THE CORNER STONE THAT’S MISSING at the Giza Pyramid… ‘Freewill, and Gods intervenes in people lives, and others he wants a person to ask HIM, and the ones He intervenes, is because He has something that He wants them to do, and He knows they will do what He wants, it’s that’s simple, life’s a stage, and we are merely players in the show, let the show continue, hope that helps, but I best continue my sermon where else, your a very intelligent person, as I seen many here in these blog to be, the VEIL IS ABOUT to be lifted, and someday everybody will know, because TRUTH IS ENCODED IN OUR DNA…. BYE…

  22. My 15-year-old neice arrived back from a school trip to Europe on Easter Sunday.

    By the time I showed up for dinner she had already expired from jet-lag, as I totally expected. Her sister passed on her salutations and a little Eiffel Tower key chain, which I immediately installed on the single key that I carry. I have been to the Tower myself many times but I never bought a keepsake reminder.

    The Tower has another purpose, other than being cool. On the Tower there are written the names of six dozen famous French scientists and engineers. One of those scientists is Urbain Jean Joseph Le Verrier, who used the existing laws of physics and mathematics to predict the existence and location of the planet Neptune and was immediately proven correct by his peer, Johann Galle.

    From that moment in 1846, there was no doubt that the universe can be explored and known with science and reason. Today we are progressing and discovering new truths about the nature of the cosmos at an exponential rate. There are many more discoveries coming in my own lifetime, I hope.

    If I could know everything about any subject, it would be cosmology– everything.

  23. Math
    Why? As my math professor once told me, “math is everything.” Thus the complete knowledge of math would allow me to understand everything. Physics is math, English is math. How the planetary body functions, how any body functions is just math.

    It is all math.

  28. I also agree with wolf….math is everything. You can overlay numbers/symbols over the entire universe…the theory of everything, a quantifiable equation for natural weather phenomenon, so many formulas to be found with numbers. Fractals and the like but there is one short coming…as witnessed by the jeopardy competion with watson….the human element can prove difficult to quantify. What is black and white and red all over…if a plane crashes on the border of canada and the us, where to bury the survivors…where do warm waters halt…how cold is a cold shoulder… 😜

    1. Try doing research on the parable of the fig tree. It started in 1947, the commandment went forth. So we getting close to the 70th year mark, I suggest a man by the name of Dewey Bruton, Daniel Endtimes, video, on this web page under Abraham the jew , I made a comment under peculiar, I think, their I give the actually correct name. As for the mathematical calculation, the answer is the golden ratio, the finger prints of God, check it out, quite amazing video. Try this links, world events and the bible, with Brandon Ward….., Sheperds Chapel, Arnold Murrauy, fantastic, teacher, I learned a lot from him. Also try end time headlines, gives all end time current events….. The bible is some what complicated because theirs a lot of figure of speech metaphor, etc, etc, and if you haven’t studied for a long time, it’s hard to catch up. I would say, go to Brandon ward, world events and the bible , he was also a student of sheperds chapel, don’t know him, but I can tell, he was also given the SEAL OF GOD, WHICH MEANS THAT GOD WON’T GIVE THAT to anybody because of accountability, because I know more than the average, (and please don’t that that in a arrogant way or manner) but tell u my personal testimonial, all I can say, is that, God called me out, the 144,000 how they were given that seal, they are the ones who fought satan on the first earth age, they were the first ones who stood against satan and the fallen angels, u see, you were there too, but that memory, we don’t have, we have to seek out truth. Im a seeker of truth, and also, I asked God for wisdom, and understanding, im more accountable because I understand and ive been on my quest for 20 plus years, hope that helps, theirs people out there in the world, Christians, who know this, but also, theirs a lot of Christians asleep at the wheel, and willing choose to be blind. take care!!!

      rose

  30. another thing, theres multiple levels of Gods truth. What ive noticed thru years of listening to other christians, who no don’t identify with sheperds chapel teaching, what I ve seen or witnessed is that God gives different gifts, to different people, as for dreams, I used to think they were dreams, in a sense, but came to find out that sometimes God speaks to you in dreams, ive have 3 occurances with that, and God doesn’t speak to me in a audible voice, He speaks thru other people when im looking for answers and sometimes God reveals truths right away, and other times, it takes time…. I noticed also that theirs a time, and place when God want His people to move… Everybody has gifts, everything we are in intelligence, charm, money, success, you name it, they are gifts from God. people, when they finally get that, it’s God who moves us, and we are his servants, whether we realize it or not….

  34. Forrest, your question reminds me of a story from an earlier time in my life. In the late eighties I received a scholarship to a college in Cornwall England. It was a thrilling time of adventure in my life and having had some major epiphanies I began to marvel at all of the possibilities of all that I didn’t know…and spontaneity was the coolest thing about everything then and quite often still is.
    I had come into the faith in a strong way that no man (were he in my shoes) could deny.

    I quit my good paying union job to take advantage of the opportunities that accepting the scholarship would provide. Well, I wasnt going to go all the way to the UK without getting a good look at Europe, so I bought a rail pass and toured many of her countries for a month.
    While in Belgium, a university professor boarded the train and happened adjacent to me in the same railroad car. In conversation with our cold beers in hand, he discovered I was a bit of an idealist on my way to a Bible college and I sensed he was an intellectual who was more pragmatic.
    He was a teacher of biology, so he could answer all my questions about Darwinism as I amused him with my faith in God; The whole event should have been filmed as we were both ends of the spectrum in one place, face to face and both of us were open and cordial…it was a wonderful conversation and as the train approached the station in Luxembourg (I think) and he was about to depart forever, I knew I had to ask him one question as he thought I was so foolish…and so I did. He had told me how he studied plantlife and such things so I asked him: “If you had the choice to study a leaf and know everything about that leaf and its smallest parts and understand it fully…or…the opportunity to study and know the one behind that leaf, who actually made it and holds everything together, namely God, which would you chose to study?” He then lowering his pride for a moment and yet with a disgruntled admission blurted out, “Well God of course!” We both had a good chuckle and left on great terms as we both had plenty to ruminate for that day.
    So, back then my answer to your question would have been God. But that being a no brainer for me today, I don’t need to know all there is to know about God, anymore than I need to know all there is to know about anyone else. What’s more important to me now, is understanding His purpose for my life and who I am in Him and who He is in me …who we are to each other is what really counts in life.
    I Corinthians 13 (a good read by Paul that rivals Shakespeare in my opinion)

    Grace and Peace be with us all, amen.
    Goodnite everyone.

  36. I trust that God will teach me of Love in His own time, so I would have to say sociology. I am a believer of microcosm/macrocosm.. that the same rules that govern a family are not so different from those that would govern a country and hence the planet (should ones reach get that far).. my dream would be to increase the peace and I think a comprehensive knowledge of sociology would be invaluable to that end.

    1. That’s awesome Happy Thoth, I agree, if 2 people or 10 people can dwell together in harmony, then it must be possible for a hundred people or a billion. I think we have similar life studies, as I didn’t write that far, it’s as though you completed my thought for me. Yes! May God broaden your sphere of influence to positively influence others as we all approach the time when we will know and understand more fully.
      I Cor. 13:9-10

      tomtom

      1. Thank you tom tom..and yes indeed to the Cor.. as I see it now, it’s all about memes.. funny that when it comes to memetics, the powers that be play down its importance for study.. and yet it is very clear that memes are the center of the battle and they are most certainly wielding them

  37. I would like to have a greater understanding of FORGIVENESS…

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/inviting-monkey-tea/201803/what-is-forgiveness-really

    – are there limitations to our human capacity to forgive
    – Christ’s infinite capacity to forgive
    – does forgiveness disengage/release us from evil done to us?
    – when your mind can’t forget, is it enough to try to forgive from the heart?
    – does Christ ‘only’ forgive us our sins “as we forgive others who sin against us”?

    GoWest

      1. Oh, but God did owe a debt, to us. “He” created a harsh world, for the reason that we learn how forgiveness and love leads to a higher way of living a greater state of soul. And God, I’m sure without doubt, feels the pain we must suffer for that goal. He owed us that he should go through it too. That is God’s debt to us. What greater love is there from the Great Father?

  38. I would echo some of these statements and would like to know more about Jesus and his sacrifice. I’ve had deep thoughts about my faith after reading books and the da vinci code books and how there may have been a bloodline of jesus. I started thinking how my faith could still hold true and came up with an idea… Jesus was sent to be sacrificed for our sins, he put Mary above his disciples at a time when woman were not to be held in such regard. WHAT IF… the purpose of Jesus’ visit was to teach us that men, woman, and all of us are equals. When he put her above his loyal male disciples, he was crucified and killed for it. What if that was his message of love and we were not at a point we could accept it. What if he did have kids. There are stories in Europe of a mysterious red headed woman showing up on the shore in a boat with a child. Think of all of the influential red headed woman in history, could they be descendants? Is it possible there is more to the story that has been hidden from us? The book of Mary was removed from the bible. Just a thought I’ve had. Please don’t be too harsh. 🙂 God Bless.

    Jake P.

  39. Great question Forrest! And after much thought, I have changed my answer. The future’s what I would like to know about and would be keen on understanding that and what joys await us at our next evolution. How we will all one day transcend the gutter more completely.
