Life and Wisdom

An autobiography of Gerald Paul Kooyers. Children, grandchildren and others have at times requested Kooyers to write of his interesting life lived in the United States of America in the golden age of the nation from about 1940 to 2010. He writes of life growing up in Wisconsin and California, education at San Jose State University, University of California at Berkeley, and Stanford University leading to a career in scientific research, self employment, business ventures, computer programming, computer models of devices, electron device research, commodity trading adviser, white water river outfitting, mining and farming.Subjects are ancestry, growing up, college, employment, business ventures, hunting adventures, family fun, making a ton of money in the commodity markets, building a very exquisite dream home, at the time nothing like it in all of Idaho, encountering the criminal banking organization called State Savings, and then American Savings, the lawsuits involved including bankruptcy, and the government seizure of American. He writes of a mine disaster where three men were killed and his belief they were murdered.A Christian life well lived encountering good and evil and the wisdom gained from the experiences. His intent is to pass on the wisdom gained from this living of life on to posterity, He presents the Eigen Theory of Life. By using his scientific skills, his understanding of the Bible so as to let the Bible be its own interpreter, he presents human kind as consisting of an encompassed, composite, four realm manifestation of body, soul, spirit, and heart. He borrows a concept from mathematical quantum physics and presents Jesus Christ as the Eigenfunction of everything, both created and uncreated, so as to present Jesus Christ to be the whole system for the connecting of mankind to God.He lives on the Salmon River of Idaho with his wife Geneva of 58 years. They have six children, 20 grandchildren, and in 2015, 15 great grand children.
About the Author: Gerald Paul Kooyers is an entrepreneur/writer. He holds a BS in Engineering Physics and an MA in Physics from the University of California. He completed graduate courses in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. He did fundamental research in electronic devices at Litton Industries, in San Carlos, California. In 1959 he became a pioneer in computer modeling, devising a large signal analysis of the Injected Beam Cross Field Amplifier by construction of a computer model. The computer model was used to design and successfully manufacture this device. He then built a complex computer model of the Distributed Emission Crossed Field Amplifier. This device was later used in the Aegis phased array radar system of the United States Navy. He performed a model based study to be the first to show feasibility of ion propulsion for spacecraft. Leaving Litton he established himself in his own business. He consulted and was a system analysis for various clients. He built a very large complex computer model for analyzing military force level requirements. This program was in the nature of a computer language and was called BALFRAM. (Balanced Force Requirements Analysis Modeling) This computer model was used by military planners of the free world. After conducting many more scientific and engineering studies on various electronic devices and sundry scientific projects, he built a trading system to trade commodity futures contracts on the futures exchanges of the United States. This computer based system generated huge profits for clients of sundry brokerage firms. He has engaged in several entrepreneurial ventures in consulting, real estate, farming, logging, outfitting, and mining, and spent a good part of his life hunting and fishing. Eventually the vicissitudes of life caught up with him and he went broke. He now writes books to entertain himself and help maintain his dear wife of 58 years along with the help of his social security. They now live in Idaho, have six children, 20 grandchildren, and 15 great grandchildren as of 2015. His writing reflects his many experiences and his lifelong commitment to follow and love his Lord Jesus Christ. His Dutch ancestors, victims of religious persecution, became pioneers in the Michigan wilderness in the 1840's. His writings reflect his reformed understanding of the Christian faith. He is now retired and lives on the Salmon River of Idaho.
