Road to ruin

Perdition

Mr Ted>why can’t you just study the behaviour of the plant on its own without cluttering the experiment with earth, air, fire [heat] and water?

Plato>In classical thought, the four elements Earth, Water, Air, and Fire

Frost>Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both

eLG>Plato forgot to tell Aristotle earth, wind, fire and water come from Aether

At this point in history we took the wrong road.

This is the problem people. Everything since plato is wrong. Everything. Nothing is salvageable. Nothing. W e must go back to this point in history and start thinking outside the box.  Am I the only one that can see this?

“Perceiving What Others Do Not Perceive” – Mary Somerville

Experiment

Cry

My minds work differently from those of other people’s. One could say I have a closer rapport with my sub-conscious. Most have no rapport. Most that do, hide it. With this rapport comes an exagerrated sense of body language, which enables me to “read” people, which is why I can say that most people have no rapport with their subconscious. To me, they are half-witted, literally. Mentally mutilated. I do not think of myself as smarter, but them as dumber. All of the centered I speak to are of the same opinion.

About 15 years ago I began taking atenolol for a heart condition. One of the known side effects of this drug is lucid dreaming. That’s not really what’s happening. The drug allows us to remember the lucid dreams that were always there. (follow the link) I have posted the first 50 or so of these dreams in a seperate blog AtenololDreams if you’re curious.

One of the main characters in these dreams is Ann (ANN?), the only character (besides myself) who is aware that it is a dream. We speak of many things, Ann and I. In one dream I recall a conversation about the “self’”. I said “I think, therefore I am” she replied “No, I think, therefore you are”

Hmm! So where am I going with this? I am of the opinion that the brain is entirely too simple a mechanism for thought to originate in it, and that it is an organ which was created/evolved/unfolded that concentrates the consciousness that was always there.

We only think we’re thinking.

CR Toy

Reading poli’s paper Paper He is exactly right in his description of the problem. He is exactly wrong in his analysis of it. This is disheartening. consider the above toy cash register. It has a double row of keys and a row of leaves that pop up when you push the appropriate key. the red key drops the leaves and the crank opens the drawer. The primary cause/effect is if you push the top left key the left leaf pops up. etc for the rest. Then here comes numbers, and we put these numbers on the keys and the appropriate leaves. now we can say “when we push the .01 key the .01 leaf pops up.” But we forget that we are the ones that put the numbers on the keys, and forget the primary relationship. So we end up with a situation where physicists, for example, perform mathematical operations on the numbers on the keys to try to understand the mechanics of the toy. It’s insane. But neither is reality. The reality, assuming this were a real cash register, is that someone came in and bought something. This someone is extrinsic. the mechanics and the numbers are intrinsic.

There are two seperate but synchronous things happening in the cash register which reflect reality. The only difference between the cash register and the brain is the brain has 100 billion leaves and 100 billion keys. We think that we are in charge of the cash register, we are not (unless we’re thieves) we think we are thinking when we ring up the sale. we are not. we are only reacting to the guy handing us cash.

No matter how we arrange the keys, nor what symbols we put on them. It ain’t real. Reality, and only reality is real.

incomprehensible in their scale,

thought

What is a thought? There’s a lot of definitions of thought, but they all center on how thoughts act, not what they are. I’m gonna posit that a thought is coherrent chemical activity in the brain, at least as it applies to humans. Hmm! This brings up the question of: “Where does this coherrence come from?”

GOD! shouts the majority. Universe, shouts a significant minority. And there are others, karballah, great mysterious, wave nature etc. What all these have in common is “Something “up there” is causing something “down here” (material world)”

But people think backwards. Something down here is causing something up there. Consider the water molecule. H2O. If you’re speaking of the ocean without the water molecule you got squat. How can you even begin to talk about the ocean without understanding the water molecule. I don’t mean it’s particle nature, that’s knowledge, but it’s wave nature, that’s understanding. Even then, one is a shadow of a shadow and the other a shadow of reality. The shadows are, in and of themselves, real however. Until what’s happening inside the skull gets sorted out there’s no point going any further.

I agree with pythagoras that the universe is harmonic in nature (negentropic)

So, unless you’re ready to tell me what change in which law of the universe would cause geese to fly in the x formation, we’re not ready to talk intrinsic/extrinsic.

Beware the black swan.

Why are people dumb? The first sentence I wrote in an attempt to explain how the mind works is “When considering what is happening in the mind, it is necessary to consider everything that is happening to the mind which is everything.” ANN Why is this not obvious? Why is this not obvious at every level of cognition? At every scale? On any topic. What is it with this PTIB syndrome mankind seems to be afflicted with?

I had intended to write this post about what is wrong with the way the 3 body problem question is asked. Consider the first hit I got, a paper by Poli on analysis-systhesis. He’s right by times and wrong by times, but that is not the focus of my attention. He is analyzing synthesis. He complains of the inadequacy of analysis then IMMEDIATELY begins taking apart the put together thingie. How bizzarre, it borders on insanity.  What is wrong with cognition?  Half the world can’t analyze, half the world can’t synthesize and half the world can’t do either.

Using his words, the left mind is an analysis machine, the right mind is a synthesis machine both used to make sense of reality, whatever that reality may be at the moment. Reality and only reality is real.

Scientists talk of quantum mechanics and yoga speaks of nirvana. Both think they are talking of reality, they are not! they are talking of analysis and synthesis. Plato had it right, logos and mythos are our way of evaluating the aether. Logos and mythos are intrinsic, the aether is extrinsic. What else needs to be said? What is so friggin complicated? This is baby talk.

As to the three body problem. It can’t be solved by analysis. Well, OK, use synthesis. How? Dunno. I prefer to leave math and physics to people who are interested in such things.

Or………..blame the trojan fairy.

“An animated image shows a collision between two subatomic particles embedded in our 3-D universe (or “brane”). The collision produces other particles, including a graviton that escapes from our brane into the extradimensional “bulk” that lies beyond.”

Found Here> Unexplained

This is what I’m talking about. The Aristotelian Brain Fart focuses attention on the sub-atomic particles. If, however, attention were focused on the “ripples” it wouldn’t be unexplained.

This has nothing to do with physics or math, but how the mind’s analyze problems.

That’s as succinct as I can get it.

Top Down vs Bottom up thinking
George is right, kind of. But he still speaks of either/or rather than a synergistic both.

“Knowledge is not a Thing but a Relation” – George Kampis

A little bit about what are we going to do.

The Carteisan view suggests that knowledge is an entity.
The Anti-Cartesian view suggests that knowledge is NOT an entity.

Two concepts:
methodological individualism methodological anti-individualism

the indivudal is ~isolated the individual does not end at the surface of skin
complete incomplete

Anti-individualism often also called “externalism”. Physical or social reality is PART of human mind.
E.g. linguistic meaning is in the interaction of use; no meaning or represented knowledge possible in single individual.

Seemingly difficult concepts, but easy to understand in relational terms.

The Cartesian concept of the mind and knowledge suggests a detached view of knowledge.
Mostly the passive aspects of cognition (mental content, representation – note the word content)

The network view suggests an immersed concept of knowledge.
Typical for human societies in the past, more dynamic and interactive, person-based.

flux tube animation

http://www.physics.adelaide.edu.au/~dleinweb/VisualQCD/Nobel/

This animation shows the suppression of the QCD vacuum from the region between a quark-antiquark pair illustrated by the coloured spheres. The separation of the quarks varies from 0.125 fm to 2.25 fm, the latter being about 1.3 times the diameter of a proton. The surface plot illustrates the reduction of the vacuum action density in a plane passing through the centers of the quark-antiquark pair. The vector field illustrates the gradient of this reduction. The tube joining the two quarks reveals the positions in space where the vacuum action is maximally expelled and corresponds to the famous “flux tube” of QCD. As the separation between the quarks changes the tube gets longer but the diameter remains approximately constant. As it costs energy to expel the vacuum field fluctuations, a linear confinement potential is felt between quarks.

Ouija

I’ve heard bottom up thinking described as using a ouija board. Every time you put the hand on the pusher it seems to have a mind of it’s own and scoots all over the place. Makes sense. The right mind is not ordered in a linear fashion but by weighting. i.e. the most significant issue gets resolved, then the next and on and on until a best answer to date is obtained. This function of ordering of the corelated results would seem to be handled by the reticulator. To an idiot this appears to be a random incoherant rambling, flitting from topic to topic with no apparant relationship. This is, in fact, the bottom up thinking method (musing) in operation. ALL possibilities are considered, even if irrelevant. The priorities are ordered in the manner of “best answer to date”, “this seems to work for the moment”, “could be” and “no way” although not so clearly defined. Until these concepts are communicated to a sentient person (non-idiot) they may never be resolved. And, as each mind is unique, what is relevant to one may not be relevant to another. What this means is that it is almost impossible for the logic trees of two individuals to agree, although the outputs may be identical.

It is entirely possible that in the hands of centered, there may be something to this, working through a collective consciousness. Online versions have got to be bullshit, but the fact that it is banned by christians and debunked by science gives it a certain credibility. However this credibility is undermined by a psychological explanation. The juries still out.

Mainstream Christian religions and some occultists have associated use of the Ouija board with the threat of demonic possession and some have cautioned their followers not to use Ouija boards.^[3]

While Ouija believers feel the paranormal or supernatural is responsible for Ouija’s action, it may be more parsimoniously explained by unconscious movements of those controlling the pointer, a psychological phenomenon known as the ideomotor effect.Despite being debunked by the efforts of the scientific community, Ouija remains popular among many young people.

Tower of babble

The New Babbleonions

Babel > confusion. Good discussion of it. >Sodahead

Babble > meaningless confusion of words. > Babble

Use whichever word you prefer.

No, eLG ain’t suddenly got religion. You may call the universe God if you prefer. Perfectly valid. Consider the story in the bible of the Tower of Babel

“Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” – Man

“They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do.” So God said, “Come, let us go down and confound their speech.” And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel “because God there confounded the language of all the Earth.”(Genesis 11:5-8).” – God

The Babelonions ignored God.

The Babbleonions ignore the universe.

As physics builds this “house of cards”, “accident upon accident” (Einstein), they continue to “take things apart” rather than “put things together” learning more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. PTIB (putting things in baskets) is going to cause the collapse of civilization, this insanity has infected mankind’s thinking. It’s past ludicrous, it’s lunatic.

Oblio Speaks

Nothing else seems to work, no matter how eloquent the oratory, how impeccable the logic, how irrefutable the facts you know that they can’t hear you. There is no mind there. The neurons have been lost. They are forever the quintessential idiots. They are runing with the squirrls. Crazy doesn’t work. Maybe I can shame them into using their brains.

This from Mr Johnny. The sad thing is, he’s right. There is no point.

Cool! In the end, I don’t think that we will convince anyone with academic arguments (such as Ted and I tend to make) bolstered by authoritative quotes from other philosophers and scientists. The key is finding the right ‘representations.’ Perhaps the use of dynamic graphics, video, music, dance and other more dynamic media will be the key.

Do you know the satirical cartoon “The Point”

(there is a album by Nielson – “me and my arrow”).

In the story Oblio is banished to the Pointless Forest where he meets the “Rockman” who in response to Oblio’s observation that everything in the Pointless Forest has a point says, “You hear what you want to hear, and you see what you want to see.” It is funny that many people actively don’t want to see ‘dynamics.’ They prefer a simple, easy to understand story about particles. And they seem very happy to live with the contradictions that result. Sometimes it feels like ‘ignorance’ has become a ‘virtue.’

Although most people prefer to live in the land of Point — it is good to know that there are a few with the courage to venture into the Pointless Forest (or should we call it the Particle-less Forest.

Keep pushing the envelope,

Wanna

Wisdom, the neuron that wants to grow up to be a brain. Negentropy is the charactistic of the universe that provides this wanna. All god’s chillens got wanna. This is nowhere more evident that the neuron which self-organizes when given the chance and a favorable environment. But for this to happen an unfolding must have wanna to be an atom, an atom must have wanna to be a molecule, a molecule must have wanna to be a cell, and a cell must have wanna to be a neuron. And the neuron must have wanna to be a brain. And a brain has wanna to be what? To be one with the universe. In RatBrain watch this wanna at work. The local power ego which at first glance appears to be exclusionary, turns out to be not so exclusionary after all. The molecule wanna be included, and life happens. Ain’t synergy nice? It is, after all, all the same thing.

“Harald C. Ott, a researcher now at Massachusetts General Hospital, took all the cells off a rat heart, leaving only a framework behind. His team then put rat stem cells onto this scaffold, whereupon the cells self-organized and the heart began to beat. Turns out life happens, and we are just learning the rules on how to program it.” – Foreign Policy Newsletter

Wisdom for centuries has been a religious or philosophical concept that varies somewhat by culture. But Jeste tells ScientificAmerican.com that there is reason to believe that it’s rooted in neurobiology. He and Meeks pored through medical literature, locating 10 papers that defined wisdom. Based on commonalities in the research, the two proposed that wisdom is made up of the behaviors that reflect the good of the group, pragmatism, emotional balance, self-understanding, tolerance and the ability to deal with ambiguity.

“If you look at it in this fashion, it makes sense to have a balance among these regions to lead to something akin to wisdom,” he says. “You need cold, calculating rationality but also emotional sociableness. You need to have rewards for what you do and punishments for what you don’t do and conflict detection and resolution.”

Jeste and Meeks concede that some might call their conclusions reductionistic because they based their “map” not on the idea that wisdom is a single trait, but a collection of attributes. But Jeste said that similarities between how wisdom was portrayed thousands of years ago in the Bhagavad Gita (a Hindu scripture) and in the West today — as well as the tale of Phineas Gage, a railway worker whose allegedly wise attributes such as amiability and good judgment were said to vanish after a spike penetrated his left frontal lobe — “makes you think it’s not a cultural phenomenon but biologically consistent.”

Cloud Mind

Cloud

It is interesting how the society and the internet mimic each other. You could almost picture Google and the other search engines acting at the axon (perception) level and the links acting at the dendrite (interpretation, learning) level. Consider the blogroll, wherein like minded sites are set, each with it’s own network. Negentropy. With the individual computer at the neuron level and the internet at the brain level, with search engines as random co-relators. For a particular field of interest, at some point. it will just be necessary to find a couple of like-minded sites and link to them. Instead of searching for information, the information will “search” for you. “build it and they will come” - Field of dreams. And it works, they do indeed come. From the most amazing places. Places I would never have thought to search. Just follow the trackbacks, and there they are. How odd. How very odd. Instead of looking for “people like me” I put my interest on the net and “people like me” find me. neat!

The society/individual cloud mind, however, is not doing so well. That’s why I picked the stormy cloud. This is another unfinished post. I don’t know where it’s going, but it’s trucking right along, getting there in a hurry. Singularity? Social consciousness.? Cosmic mind? Should be fun. Maybe we can get there before the hyper-males shut it down.

The key to appropriate and effective application of the self-construct is to develop a healthy self, rather than to eliminate the self entirely. Eradication of the self is form of nihilism that leads to an inability to function in the world. That is not something that Buddhist or neuroscientists advocate. So what is a healthy self? In an individual, a healthy self is a construct that accurately represents past, present and projected future internal and external state, and that is highly self-aware, rational but not overly so, adaptable, respectful of external systems and other beings, and open to learning and changing to fit new situations. The same is true for a healthy collective self. However, most individuals today do not have healthy selves — they have highly delluded, unhealthy self-constructs. This in turn is reflected in the higher-order self-constructs of the groups, organizations and communities we build.

Supercomputers built from subcomputers were invented 50 years ago. Back then clusters of tightly integrated specialized computer chips in close proximity were designed to work on one kind of task, such as simulations. This was known as cluster computing. In recent years, we’ve created supercomputers composed of loosely integrated individual computers not centralized in one building, but geographically distributed over continents and designed to be versatile and general purpose. This later supercomputer is called grid computing because the computation is served up as a utility to be delivered anywhere on the grid, like electricity. It is also called cloud computing because the tally of the exact component machines is dynamic and amorphous – like a cloud. The actual contours of the grid or cloud can change by the minute as machines come on or off line.

“occidentals seek insight, orientals seek outsight” - el Loco Gringo

“In the most embarrassing cases, the person who offered the observation is convinced that the full import of his insight can’t have been understood, and insists upon pressing it again and again. What’s actually happened, though, is that the person has outed himself as desperately behind the curve by offering the very opposite of an insight: some utterly elementary point that everyone else had taken for granted as a premise of the conversation, and indeed, one too obvious to be worth stating among (so they had thought) other reasonably bright and informed people.” Here’s an idiot found here>juliansanchez

and my response

“Amusing
I have an example, every physicist knows that the universe is of a wave nature, Plato, Newton, Einstein UNDERSTOOD this. Yet physicists continue to describe the universe in euclician terms. This is fine if you’re trying to build a bridge but totally inadequate if you’re trying to understand the nature of the universe. Pointing this out to a physicist is an an “outsight”, an elementary and fundamental point that has been overlooked in the discussion. It’s what I call the aristotelian brain fart. Most of the people in this thread are idiots, (used in the clinical sense.) excepting lj and one other. Don’t take umbrage, you’re in good company. most people are idiots. ” run with the squirrls

You and squee are getting hot and heavy into this. but!
something feels uncomfortable about this

The anarchist team (a peer-peer network or ‘web-of-life’ type organization) implicitly recognizes that the
dynamic space that includes us (aka the ‘habitat’) TRANSCENDS the transient
inhabitants that are continually gathered and being regathered in the
spatial flow; i.e. the inhabitants are not ‘primary’ in the world dynamic
(as the Amerindians say; ‘the habitat does not belong to the inhabitant, the
inhabitant belongs to the habitat’ [‘the earth does not belong to man, man
belongs to the earth]).

not that there’s anything wrong with the answer, but something wrong with the implied question
so far what comes to mind is;
Our minds (plural) are optimized for dealing with reality by asking questions that can be posed for resolution by either a binary rational process or a boolean logical process or both. IE A or B or Both. However, unaddressed is the forth option Neither. The Both option has been negated by the ABF or the TBF. But the neither option is still open. thinking in known, unknown terms there are known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns but unanswered is the unknowns. the dog that doesn’t bark. the occurrence that leaves no trace. the non-exception. the problem i had with your sailboat without reference points. I pointed out there are always two reference points, here and somewhere else, the vector depending on whether the exception is positive or negative. I know this is squishy but maybe it can’t be helped. And the further we zoom in and out from the optimal the squishier it gets. However I have the sense that the “best answer to date” lies not in profound and complex ponderings but in simplicity. so far my minds “skitter” off this problem. irrelevant to survival? dunno yet but eLG’s on it. it has just become relevant to dealing with the world. walt

The Morphing

Morph

So let’s look through this particular tunnel. The view of the tunnel the mama grizzly/soccer mom is looking through is perceived as society/individuals. These are the endpoints set by the tunnel. This particular tunnel limits them to an extremely squish view of the Great Mysterious. (different tunnel) and has a less squishy relationship to the view through the genetics tunnel, or the evolution tunnel.

So let the games begin. society/individual is inside the skull. SOCIETY/INDIVIDUAL is the projection of society/individual onto what we perceive. The duality if you will. If the universe is finite SOCIETY/INDIVIDUAL would be appropriate, which may or may not be true since the two cognitive minds can fully account for this duality. Else GREAT MYSTERIOUS would seem more appropriate. I suspect the latter.

So what’s happening here? Patterns are forming and correlated in the right mind, and interpreted by the left mind as disharmonious. The reticulator, summing the aggregate and accumulate dis-harmonies adds urgency (bias) The ANN (overseer) notes the two outputs are increasingly not consistent and is impelled to action. For sake of discussion we’ll call the right mind “sarah”, the left mind “palin”, the ANN “Sarah Palin”

So Sarah Palin morphs from a pit bull (individual) to a mama grizzly (resonant with other mama grizzlies) to effect change, realizing (squishy) that the aggregate and accumulate impact of mama grizzlies can “calm” the dis-harmonies. A built in feedback loop if you will, doing whatever minimizes the dis-harmonies. This is only for a mind uncrippled by ideology. The ABF has disabled this built in moderating function.

I’m not talking about evolution, or genetics or the cosmos. I am talking about mama grizzlies. That is the tunnel I was looking through.

So it would seem consciousness is an illusion

We only think we’re thinking.

I’ve resent one of your comments and a comment Sid put on the ANN. Different analogy but the same perspective. (it seems to me)

You’re quite right about adjusting your perspective. It is this “My way or highway” attitude in mainstream physics that prevents an understanding of the nature of the universe. There are some things happening inside the skull that affect the understanding. Your interest is outside the skull. Good, I prefer to leave physics and math to people who are interested in such things. Simply put, there is an unseen and unconsidered interface inside the skull which effects thinking. Consider Plato’s TOE. His logic is impeccable but his data is incomplete. He extrapolates his TOE from the 5 platonic solids. Grab the saddle horn here, your mind’s going to start bucking. My interest and question is WHY has he omitted the most basic and fundamental of the solids, the sphere. My interest is why are so many people stupid? His mind rejected the most obvious of all the solids. As for me, I can’t understand why everyone can’t see the vibrational nature of the universe. It is so obvious. Why does 99+% of physicists say the know the universe is vibrational in nature (or waves or compaction, or reflections (whatever, the word is not the concept) but they don’t act like it. Why are they so stupid, intelligent maybe, but stupid none the less. WHY, WHY, WHY? They continue to play silly mind games with the two slot experiment, the measurement problem, (what I call the whereness and whenness of the electron) the decay problem etc. My interest is not in the nature of the universe, per se, but WHY ISN’T IT OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE, not just physicists? Try to brush the crazy aside, I have the fear that if I start talking like an idiot, I’ll start thinking like one. (maybe stupid’s catching) ALL conventional wisdom is WRONG. (only dead fish go with the flow) People think backwards. Saddle up and let’s ride off into epiphany valley.

My brain is trapped inside my skull, the only input being through imperfect and filtered senses. Something out there is doing the shimmy-shake. I call it the big hoochie-koochie there’s a visualization link below. Be sure to play the accompaning audio to catch the harmonics. So these vibrations come into my right mind and are perceived as rotating vectors. This is not reality, this is only a perception. This is what an animal perceives. There is no time, no color, no sound, just the rotating vectors. Actions are based not on discrete data, but on patterns in the vibrations. This is a weighted boolean network. Very complicated and cumbersome. The left mind reaches into this chaos (in both senses of the word), throws away a dimension and begins collating, matching, organizing etc. so as to present it in a form more useful in the decision making process (unless, of course, you’re trying to figure out the nature of the universe) This is a binary network This is an interpretation. OK, lets tie up here for a moment and think this through. Let’s make it simple. The big hootchie-koochie is doing something out there that that is perceived as a single rotating vector by the right mind. The left mind interprets this as a harmonic tone, as we add vectors to the perception we find that this tone has a beat of 8. (do, re, me, so, fa, la, ti, do) ie recursive, with an element of 8. (I’m not sure I’m using the right words, the words don’t exist, try to stick with the concept. “the word is not the concept”) Now lets take the results of this interpretation back outside the skull. An idiot physicist starts plotting the output data against an artificial domain called time on a piece of paper. This makes a sine wave. He then uses this sine wave to figure out what the big hoochie-koochie is doing. But it ain’t real. It’s just a friggin’ piece of paper. But he thinks it’s real. WHY? Time to get the horses back to the corral and rub them down. We’ve been riding them pretty hard and they’re getting sweaty. (one page limit)

Walt,I like your concept of top down(conscious)and bottom up(subconscious)!
Could it be that similar to physical gravity there is also a psychological gravity(suppression) with the left brain pulling down and if too heavy because of excessive social conditioning prevents the right brain to freely rise up?…and so preventing a harmonious integration between both sides of the brain.
Is yoga simply a technique to remove the weight of the left brain liberating the en-lightened right brain to be fullv aware ?

Bankei

Rinzai Zen Buddhist master, and the abbot of the Ryomon-ji and Nyoho-ji. Bankei is most well known for his talks on the Unborn as he called it.The Buddha mind incorporates both illumination and innocence. Or wisdom and naivete. Got this from allspirits which seems to sum it up.

“When we look back on this life, we see that when people are born, no one has thoughts of joy, sadness, hatred, or bitterness. Are we not in the state of the buddha mind bequeathed by our parents? It is after birth that intelligence develops, and people learn bad habits from others in the course of seeing and hearing them. As they grow up, their personal mental habits emerge, and they turn the buddha mind into a monster because of biased self-importance. “

Yup, that sums it up nicely. So, I still don’t know if it was an insult or a compliment. I suspect a compliment. I guess it’s quite rare, she said she had never met one. The concept seems common in Hindu thought, being the state to which one aspires, but never can fully achieve.

As for me, I don’t see it as a state of “enlightenment” but as normal, and other people as mentally crippled. They have lost the “wonder”, the ability to appreciate the glory of the world.

Or, maybe I’ve “lost the plot”, I am crazy, don’t you know?

As to “tying it all together” that’s relatively simple. I keep forgetting that what seems obvious to me can be obscure to others. I’ll connect the dots in a top down logic tree. Should be able to get it tonight.

You didn’t recall the incident of mr ted seeing the double brain fart (it was in the comments) so here it is again.
there are two compounding errors here; (a) the fake notion of a local entity that is capable of doing its own thing (male-ness), and (b) the attributing of the unfolding condition of space to the actions of fake local entities.

Exactly, the built in logic flaw in the brain. This guy is smart. It took me years to see that.

hi mr sid
Neuroscience is certainly on the right track, using bottom up, psychology to me borders on insanity ie the idea that you can reverse engineer something as indeterminate as the brain. each person is unique, and psychology sprinkles “pixie dust” on an emotional problem using counterfeit concepts like bipolar and psychosis to delude themselves in to believing they understand what is happening.

in re time, I have experience in geophysics and so am relating to it. whereas time as a left mind function which is an interpretation of the right mind perception of reality. If the analogy holds, the right mind operates in the frequency domain with reality being perceived as tensors (rotating vectors) twisting this tensor would give the tensor a phase shift which is interpreted as a situational time (how big is that lion) here i start speculating. if the analogy still holds the endoplasmic reticulator could provide the bias. (weighting) to account for the dilation and contraction of natural time. this then is the “hidden layer” spoken of in neuroscience.

the relationship of right/left mind correlates 100% with the frequency/time domains of seismic computing. (if you take quantification into consideration) I really believe a neuroscientist could learn a lot by talking to any geophysist. If they didn’t throw away phase shift (natural time), and used it instead of clocks (artificial time) the results would be much more accurate. But they confused artificial time for natural time. So the x/y graphic output would have an amplitude/phase axis instead of an amplitude/time axis.

Humans do the same thing.

I can’t speak to weighting (bias, endoplasmic reticulator) our computers didn’t deal in “maybe’s”

Endoplasmic

Endoplasmic Reticulator

ScienceDaily (Sep. 8, 2009) — Fifty years after it was originally discovered, scientists at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research have elucidated the function of a microscopic network of tubules found in neurons. This structure modulates the strength of connections between two neuronsThe endoplasmic reticulum is a network of sacs that manufactures, processes, and transports chemical compounds for use inside and outside of the cell. This structure modulates the strength of connections between two neurons,

Time

Previosly I had posited the the minds were doing the equivalent of what I was doing in geophysical data processing. This view says that the right mind is perceiving reality in the frequency domain at the axon level. This perception is expressed as tensors, (rotating vectors) which are, in turn interpreted by the left mind as dimensions, color and time (and other things). This is exactly the same process used in data processing, in which input vibrations (time domain)are translated by a rastor box (Fourier Transform) into the frequency domain and back (inverse Fourier transform). But the 4th dimensional component is not actually thrown away, it is expressed as phase as an addendum (kludge) This happens because we can’t draw a four dimensional representation of anything on a piece of paper.

BUT, what if the wrong dimension was thrown away? I think that phase was interpreted as time. So that would lead me to believe that phase is a function of the reticular activator. Applying a “twist” to the vector, putting the rotate into the vector, making it a tensor. This would account for the situational nature of the right mind’s time. The weighting spoken of earlier, the intensity. So, in a sense, weighting IS the time of the right mind. (How big is that lion?) Which would speed up or slow down the variable nature of “natural” time. In other words, how fast the vector spins. Keep in mind that this is only a perception of reality, and not reality. Reality’s outside the skull. As to how, see

This is NOT thinking, but perception and interpretation. Thinking is handled at the dendrite level

Disjunct

Some people have a really strange view of the world. A disjunct from reality. A logic fail. For instance, people used to think the earth was flat, now they know it is round but they understand it to be square. Physicists know that the universe is of a wave nature, but still use calculus to try to figure it out, not understanding that calculus only works on Euclidian space. Society knows that we are part of this world, but continue to destroy it, not understanding that in destroying the world we are destroying ourselves. People know that we are part of the universe, but do not understand that the universe is within each of us. People know there is a god, yet rely on religion, not understanding that a little bit of god is within each of us. People know that government is corrupt, but do not understand that voting republican or democrat doesn’t make any difference. People know that money is fiat, but do not understand that it has no intrinsic value.

Knowledge and wisdom are on opposite sides of the coin of cognizance. The yang of the Tiger, balancing the yin of the Dragon. The dance of life. Without this dance there can be no feng shui. Chi fail.

My, this is interesting.   A view of the solar system with a solar perspective, as envisioned by Ptolemy in Almagest.  Wow! What happened, did the professor catch some poor student with his wife and give him this assignment?  Notice the retrograde  motion of venus and the speedup of mercury.  Looks good.  Ptolemy’s model was accurate, succinct, elegant, comprehensive, practical and wrong.The copernican view gave a more realistic view of the matter.  course, he’s wrong too.

What is really happening is closer to the above graphic, not orbits but spirals.  Notice the wobble in the suns motion.

Which is caused by the sun going above and below the galactic plane. This the world our minds are optimized for

This is the world we live in.

At the other end we have the molecule

Which is composed of atoms

Which really looks kinda like this

Which locks into a matrix like this, unfolding and refolding

to form a human female

Twisted in the left mind to change from becoming to being

which is the real center of the copernican universe.  Gotta stick to what’s important and not get distracted by things like science and religion.

Star Seed

“We are all ‘star seeds’, or ‘star people’ as we all have lived in many realities in many planetary systems and in higher realms as other life forms. So here we are, star seeds, souls sparks on a mission, trapped for NOW in a physical experience. Starseeds allegedly seed planets with information and spiritual frequency when one cycle of time is about to end and another begin. As planetary frequency increases, so too does their levels of awareness, and need to help others, and return to their natural state of being, a soul spark of light. There is little connection to the mainstream systems of society, religious, political or economic. Creativity is the key to spiritual fulfillment and mission.” – ChrystalLinks

Star People By Brad SteigerBrad told me that when he had compiled this list of attributes of “Star People” he had no idea how many people would be affected by it. The number of people who currently fit the profile of Star Children – or those who are evolving – has risen greatly since Brad wrote his book.
Brad spoke of the term “Star People” and its link to Native American beliefs in our creation

Some bad shit is coming folks.  The exact form is indeterminate.  But something is going to happen. Civilization, as it exists is optimized for maximized profit for the elite (Money Grubbing Scum)  The earth can sustain about 200 million people at the current US life style.  The US can support about 2-3 million at the hunter gatherer level.  I can see no solution that doesn’t involve a population reduction IMMEDIATELY.  Had there been a one child per family policy when I was in high school, we would just now be leveling out at about 4 billion, and perhaps beginning a modest decline.  The video below earth 2100 envisions an ecological disaster which will render civilization destroyed by 2100.  This is mere alarmist propaganda.  Nothing to worry about.  Mankind will be extinct long before then.  Hidden in the overpopulation problem is the problem of optimization.  For several thousand years mankind maintained a sustainable population by practicing crop rotation.  War, famine, disease kept the population down.  Typically there was a town surrounded by farmland.  Food was raised locally and the town provided the industrial base.  Assuming no unforeseen disaster, this town was pretty much self-sustaining.  Crops were rotated to allow the soil to recover.  Cattle shit in the fields returning nitrogen to the soil.  Civilization continued pretty much in this pattern until the 1900′s.  Settlers would establish a town in the center of the best farmland.  Then optimization began in earnest.  With a petroleum fueled economy the suburbs moved onto the best farmland. McMansions on their 1/4 acre estates overran the landscape.  Commutes that were minutes can now be measured in hours.  The local farmers were replaced  with mega-farms which no longer rotate the crops. Cattle are raised in pens in Fort Worth, the grain to feed them in Kansas.  The cattle are shot up with hormones to increase their growth rate which is affecting the population and the environment. Disposing of the cattle shit has become an ecological disaster.  Meanwhile the wheat farms in Kansas have to resort to petroleum based fertilizers and genetically engineered crops to maximize their profit, because they no longer have easy access to cattle shit. The farmland is being laid waste.  The government meanwhile has become a support system for maintaining this maximization of profit, providing the transportation, finance, infrastructure and propaganda necessary no matter what the cost.  It is the system that is the problem.

A failure in any component of this corrupt system will result in a collapse of the whole.  It has become incredibly fragile, a house of cards that can collapse at a moment’s notice.  And it will be swift. A massive rapid kill off of the population.   I see nothing on the horizon that can prevent this.  And it could be anything, any strain on the system will collapse this house of cards.  In high school the population of the earth was 3 billion, now it’s over 6 billion, this cannot happen again.  I have seen the damage that has been done to the ecosystem and it is irreversible.    We have passed the tipping point.  Housewives in el Segundo are recycling, and suburbanites in Des Moines are buying more fuel efficient cars. Diplomats are negotiating carbon credits at the UN.  It doesn’t matter.  There is an unseen negotiator at the table.  Mother Nature, and Mother Nature is a bitch.  She’s going to push the reset button.  You really screwed the pooch on this folks.  It is not the politicians, not the elite, not the nebulous New World Order, it’s not the democrats or the republicans, it’s not the christians or the Moslems or the Hindus.  It’s not an impact by an asteroid or invasion by aliens.  It is not Armageddon or Ragnarök. The problem is YOU.  YOU allowed this to happen.  YOU think that if you’ve got a six pack to suck on while watching the Superbowl everything is OK.  Well, it ain’t.   And you will find out. And it won’t be the hundred year decline envisioned in earth 2100, it will take less than a year.

Watch earth 2100. It’s a 9 part series.  I hope it scares the shit out of you.  You are idiots.  Look what you’ve done.  You have shit in your own nest, even an animal knows not to do that.  Hopefully the collapse will weed you out of the gene pool.

What to do? Dunno

Marathon Man

Ever wonder why our gluteous is so maximus? Damn, we’ve got a big butt don’t we? It turns out that it is only useful in running and rising from a squat. There have been a number of studies addressing this issue. Turns out a barefoot human in good shape can run about 20 miles on stored energy. By contrast a horse can run about 7. Seems a human can run a horse into the ground, if they leave their Nikes in the closet. Rising up from a squat would seem a useful adaptation in the savannah to spot predators and prey. It would also serve as a species marker, so we wouldn’t accidentally mate with a chimp. I’ve never heard of it (but then, that’s something you’d tend to keep to yourself isn’t it?)

Enigma

The above image is a visualization of GOD, click to see whad GOD looks like.  It is also a visualization of the universe.  They are, after all, the same thing.

Why do you think you must make a choice between an intrinsic perception of the universe and an intrinsic perception of god? we can use the word god if you prefer, with the caveat that i use the word god to express an intrinsic perception and GOD to describe the extrinsic. I maintain that religion is just a concept we put into words to describe our perception (god) of GOD. As I stated with physics I am not talking theology here but only our perception of GOD. (in this case) with there being no actual distinction between GOD and the universe. The distinction is inside the skull only. your previous discussion has centered on the “physics” perception of the universe. You have now switched to the “theological” perception of the universe. (or GOD if you prefer, same thing) In this communication you are confusing a perception of GOD (god) for GOD in the same sense that mainstream physics is confusing our perception of the universe (physics) for the universe. Using religion to get an understanding of GOD is fine as long as it is understood, that it is not GOD but only our perception and interpretation. with god being the perception and religion being the interpretation. there are three things happening two inside the skull and one outside. this is an enigma only because the ABF forces an either/or choice. the distinction you make between physics and religion is artificial. The minds work the same way no matter what we’re thinking of.  Brain Fart BF visuals

the Obelisk

Are we approaching Singularity?  Hmm!  I say we are approaching an awareness of singularity that has always been.  A re-folding of the “unfolding in the now” Martin Heidegger  The method espoused by various groups differs, but the central theme seems to be awareness.  A re-connection, not with the universe, but our awareness of the universe.  Method? Dunno.  But it’s gonna be a battle.  The hyper-males which have removed this connectedness are going to fight.  Every previous attempt at connectness has resulted in a collapse of civilization.

If this collapses again, here are some commandments for the survivors.  I reall this has happened once before, IE an obelisk was erected to remind descendents of what happened when a hunter gather society collapsed.  1 500BC – largest existing obelisk  In the wake of the last Ice Age the fertile savanna grasslands continued to dry out and receded to the large river plains of the Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, Indus, Ganges, Chang Jiang and Huang Ho. Following these receding grass plains were the herdsmen and their herds. Population density exploded along the fertile valleys resulting in armed conflict over available land.  Deja vu all over again  MathLab

Might this be the source of the “tower of babel” mentioned in Genesis?  “According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower “with its top in the heavens” Time’s right, area’s right, situation’s right.  Could be.  Deja vu all over again.

StarTrek had a different vision of the singularity. The borg a hive mind in which all intelligence is subsumed into a Master mind, leaving the individual little more than a robot.  Not unlike today’s society.  “resistance is futile” again not unlike today’s society.

And then of course there’s 2001, the monolith of Space Odyssey fame.  A bit more benelovent that the other obelisks.  For it’s meaning check here.  Yu WILL be suprised.  The starchild represented enlightment and rebirth  again check here for meaning. This is an interesting site BTW.

Unfolding

Finally found a good visualization for unfolding in the now. Course it’s only a 2d representation of a 3d interpretation of a 4d perception of a filtered reality. (or maybe 10, or 14 but at least 4) Of course there’s no such thing as 10 or 14 dimensions, or 4, or 3 or 2 or 1. Also no such thing as time. Other than that it’s perfect. Yeah, I know I’m not saying anything useful but it is such a neat graphic. I’ll figure out something to say later. It looks right tho. I’m gonna go into squishy talk so stick with the concept. What I Keep getting on Mr Ted about is working the logic both ways. If this is a representation of the universe (if extended) the individual unfoldings on the matrix represents the quanta universe, IE the thingies that in the aggregate are the universe. I know mainstreams physics calls these things atoms or molecules of variout persuasions. BUT what, exactly, are they. sometimes they are interpreted by mainstream physics as perhaps a hydrogen atom or sometimes a chlorine atom. I think these different “words” are just ways of making some sort of sense out of what is basically different “states” of the same unfolding. IE in some cases the quanta universe unfolds as a hydrogen atom and sometimes as a chlorine atom. but is in fact the same “whorl” reacting to different environments. That’s about as squishy as it’s possible to get but there are no words that I know of to convey what’s in my mind.

with respect to my logic web (which i think wraps around into itself just like the spring matrix), i don’t think that its inconsistencies that i look for, but avoidance of local facts

Hmmm! it seems to me that local facts ARE inconsistencies. as to the graphic, the bigger problem to me is that it is arranged in a matrix. But if it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work. However, I’d like to speak to this for a moment to get it straight in my own head. I quit thinking about cosmology about halfway through physics in high school so my thoughts are over half a century old. For the following reason;

it would be a contradiction, then, to build a physics on a foundation of opposites (being, non-being) and ‘time’ if we assume a wave space of the spring matrix type.

Or as I would say, it’s silly

re the graphic.  no, it doesn’t do it for me.  I’m thinking more of wave generation on the surface of a sphere.  there is something special about these waves.  think about this.  if you try to do a wave simulation on a flat surface, it will always be contaminated from reflections back from the edges of the surface.  they have nothing to do with what’s in the surface itself.   no matter what you do, you get these reflections back from the edges.  all you can do is make a big model and only pay attention to the middle part, but that is not right because you need backward reflections too.  the only way you can solve this problem is to use a sphere.  only a sphere works (or closed unbounded surface that wraps around into itself.  waves work anywhere in nature but in order to model them it requires a sphere.   the models we normally look at only show the outgoing waves.   the ingoing waves would be noise from the edges of the model which have nothing to do with the natural wave phenomena.

Keeping in mind that we were created/evolved/unfolded in the now to perceive/interpret/see reality in shadows, the shadows are, in and of themselves real. So, I think it’s fair to use “shadow” talk to discuss reality. None of this is germane to the discussion but only word games which add ambiguity. (and reason for you to exclude it) Also keep in mind that my interest in this is not cosmology, per se, but why are people dumb. IE why isn’t this silliness of the conventional physics approach to cosmology obvious to every high school student? Or cosmetologist for that matter.

I think you’re wrestling with the same problem Plato was. The “flat earth” view sucked. (in the lingua franca of the time) Plato considered the sphere to be a obvious alternative but considered the knowledge too dangerous, either for the general populace or he feared getting a sharpened stake shoved up his ass. (or whatever they did to heretics of the time, strangling I think, doesn’t matter.) Aristotle took the road less reasoned either because he was an idiot or possibly he’s thinking of sharpened stakes and rectums. Publicly anyway he dismissed mythos as metaphysical bullshit and the sphere as irrational. In the sense it was not subject to analysis by ratios, IE ain’t no straight lines. Later the church would embrace this concept as a method to idiotize the populace and thus was born the love affair made in hell between science and religion. But even this doesn’t matter,

It may be that the platonic solids have no relationship to anything other than each other OR, more likely they are physical (in a logical sense) manifestations of resonant frequencies and harmonics of reality.

As to your sphere, it seems that it should be solid, IE not just the surface, more like a rubber band ball. Where all tensions seek equilibrium. (negentropy)

As to the flat nature of the graphic, this is exactly how we would see it, it APPEARS flat because of our narrow bandwidth in the sense the earth appears flat.

I’ll look around

Aha! found one.  Spherical and animated.  Of course it still has the problem of all the models. IE scale, at a close enough scale to be useful, it appears flat.  Other than that it’s perfect.  It’s called the earth.

S&T Martin Heidegger > unfolding in the now

Dogma

Hi Mr Mary,

don’t know where to start. Big Al was still alive when i took physics in high school, so his theories were perhaps discussed more than now. all physicists since seem to have lesser minds. he saw the problem but could not resolve it, as was the case with newton. the problem being that the universe ain’t euclidian. It must be understood that physics is an hipostatized belief system no different than any other dogma. it does not describe reality but only a sub-set of reality. This is fine if you’re going to build a bridge, but totally inadequate if you’re trying to determine the nature of the universe. Physicists KNOW that the universe is of a wave nature but don’t understand it. (nor do i, but at least I know i don’t understand it, they don’t) the particle description of the atom, for instance has the proton, electron (which are actually fields) with the neutron thrown in as a kludge to balance the equations. This hipostaticed view has exploded into weirdness like quarks, big-uns, parallel universes whatever, all silliness. “accident upon accident” as Big Al said. when you have a model that only a lunatic can understand, it’s time for a different model. you’re into this, I’m not. I can see the problem, but I can’t see the answer.

IE why are people idiots (your lunatics?) if i can get him hooked up to mr ted (he’s looking at it from the other end, gotta work the logic both ways) they might be able to put the tail back in the snake’s mouth.

The Outsider

Walking among man, un-noticed are a different kind of people, People LR Davis calls the outsiders. They have their own lexicon, English has no words for their concepts. Maslow’s transcendent, Heyleighten’s super-gifted, Grof’s emergent. Closest is this for Highly Sensitive People.

We’ve learned Highly Sensitive People or HSP make up 15% to 20% of the population. Highly Sensitive People are also sometimes referred to as Ultra Sensitive People, Super Sensitive People, or People with “Overexcitabilities.” HSP’s nervous systems are different and are more sensitive to subtleties in their environment, which can be a good or bad thing. And because they process and reflect upon incoming information so deeply, they are more likely to become over stimulated and overwhelmed than Non-HSP.

The percentages are about right. There is also Hyper Sensitive People. Heileighn estimates the number at .047%. Ain’t many.

Another term I’ve heard in the east is Buddha Mind, kind of a naive wisdom. Also called manic/depressive by psychology. I call them normal.

Some of my shortcuts on the normal.

They are not threatened by new ideas. They will “honestly” evaluate a new concept applying appropriate logic to relevant facts.

They are cross disciplinary. IE a centered poet is fully capable of understanding the concept of a cosmic standing wave, and the importance of it without the need to go into physics or math.

They have an influence far out of proportion to their numbers. They are the “cooler heads that prevail” in decision making.

They have a sense of social responsibility. They understand that as “a rising tide raises all ships, a sinking ship drowns passengers and crew alike”. They can balance the needs of the individual with the needs of society.

They are complete and unique, in and by themselves, without the need for approval or validation.

They are capable of dealing with a concept on another’s terms. For instance, on reading your website, they can see the concept from your perspective.

They always do the right thing. Even when no one is watching.

Throughout history these people have been persecuted, either have a sharpened stake shoved up their ass, or burnt at the stake depending on whether they were classed as an infidel or a heritic. Nowadays they’re de-tenured or shot up with smarticide. Progress of a sort, I guess. But why is this happening? It is because they are a threat to the power structure. They have an insight that transcends ideology and are able to see the true nature of reality. They have a unique view of the world we live in, and are desperately needed. But they are so few, so very few.

A New Morality

“One must attend to one’s own needs without infringing on those of others.”

Return to the minds

It is not in the nature of man–nor of any living entity–to start out by giving up, by spitting in one’s own face and damning existence; that requires a process of corruption whose rapidity differs from man to man. Some give up at the first touch of pressure; some sell out; some run down by imperceptible degrees and lose their fire, never knowing when or how they lost it. Then all of these vanish in the vast swamp of their elders who tell them persistently that maturity consists of abandoning one’s mind; security, of abandoning one’s values; practicality, of losing self-esteem. Yet a few hold on and move on, knowing that that fire is not to be betrayed, learning how to give it shape, purpose and reality. But whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man’s nature and of life’s potential. …

Ayn Rand, New York, May 1968

“There is a slavering beast devouring the minds of man”

“To me–it’s being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who’s had some disease that’s eaten his brain out. You’d have nothing then but your voice–your voice and your thought. You’d scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you’d have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you’d become the vessel of the absolute truth. And you’d see living eyes watching you and you’d know that the thing can’t hear you, that it can’t be reached, not reached, not in any way, yet it’s breathing and moving there before you with a purpose of its own. That’s horror. Well, that’s what’s hanging over the world, prowling somewhere through mankind, that same thing, something closed, mindless, utterly wanton, but something with an aim and a cunning of its own. I don’t think I’m a coward, but I’m afraid of it. And that’s all I know–only that it exists. I don’t know its purpose, I don’t know its nature.” – The Fountainhead   This is the pull that got me.  I’ve seen that beast myself.  I call it the abyss.  No matter what you say to them, the words fall into the abyss.  The story itself is about a man who is foolish enough to depend on truth in the justice system and rely on his own integrity to prevail.  Underlining the story line is the theme of second-handers, those who get their self esteem second handed.  I call them zombies.  Even though she got raving reviews, she went to bed crying because no one understood.  Of course, they were zombies incapable of understanding but pretending to.  I disagree with Ayn Rand’s new morality.  What I find interesting is that she was not an idiot.  And I always find interesting things with non idiots. She was a transcendent .047% of the population.  …….. “An irrational society is a society of moral cowards—of men paralyzed by the loss of moral standards, principles and goals. But since men have to act, so long as they live, such a society is ready to be taken over by anyone willing to set its direction. The initiative can come from only two types of men: either from the man who is willing to assume the responsibility of asserting rational values—or from the thug who is not troubled by questions of responsibility.”- Ayn Rand She would be pleased to know that a number of Ayn Rand societies have sprung up fostering study of the philosophy put forth in her books.  The book is cogent, as is atlas shrugged.  Notice the cameo of Ayn Rand in the courtroom.
