Meta Programming Reality

A Holographic Continuum of Information.

"It may seem that I am advocating the use of a language in which nothing is ever confirmed. In a sense this is true -- I am! The moment we find it practicable to regard the floor as if it were hard we don't walk away from it leaving it hard, but we always tack a little note on it that says, 'but maybe its something else too'--or instead, 'I'll be back later to see."
-George Kelly


"In the province of connected minds, what the network believes to be true, either is true or becomes true within certain limits to be found experientially and experimentally. These limits are further beliefs to be transcended. In the network's mind there are no limits." -Dr John Lilly

Some years ago, Franklin Merill Wolff wrote a fascinating book entitled "Pathways to Space",as well as The Philosophy of Consciousness Without an Object." In his chapter "Aphorisms on Consciousness Without An Object" Merrell-Wolff conveys a conceptual model the would predate insertion into a field faceted by multi-dimensionality which is simply non distinquishable space. Dr Lilly's commentary observes;"The introceptive spaces, the universe originates on a ground, a substrate of Consciousness-Without-an-Object: the basic fabric of the universe beyond space, beyond time, beyond topology, beyond matter, beyond energy, is Consciousness. Consciousness without any form, without any reification, without any realization." Merill Wolf terms this space, a state of consciousness exhibiting "high indifference." Much like the teachings of Buddha, language seems not be to a prerequisite for consciousness.

However as we create time by the objectification of a space continuum with what G Spencer Brown labeled and wrote in his book, "The Law Of Form" ,which simply are a series of distinctions, we begin to process these distinctions in a variety of ever exponentially increasing forms of calculation in regard to valuation. However if the information field we objectify can be altered by the insertion of new parameters akin to the reprogramming of a encoded database then perhaps a experiential tampering is being inserted into the language.In "Language, Language A Virus?" Florian Cramer wrote "Since computer viruses are constructs of contagious instruction codes, they in turn reveal the contagious virulence of language. Writing like the American novelist John Barth’s infinitely recursive ”Frame Tale” from 1967 – a moebius strip bearing the sentence ”ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A STORY THAT BEGAN” – can be thus be read as a prototype of all computer viruses and script attacks; but also, with the computer virus as a figure of thought, as self exciting code virulent in all literature."

From a personal perspective I have had the experience in writing these posts by inadvertently creating words that aptly described a concept, but then found by reference that they did not exist. This inverse example of the manipulation of data on consensus terms through language, it certainly has severe limitations in expression, which on a more global basis, as a semi-closed system is interesting to consider language as a determinant in relational to experiential communication.

'If you think of [reality] as the software for the universe, all it would take is for someone to change a comma in the program and the chair you are sitting in wouldn't be a chair at all. The major benefit from this model is that it handles anomalies very well. Coincidences would be a normal expectation. If you address a database with a request for anything with the word "pool" you will get ads for sunscreen, lotions, billiard balls and an investment prospectus or two. In parapsychology gifted subjects may be forcing similar coincidences between separate locations or separate minds. One way of testing the theory, by the way, is to create massive informational anomalies and see what happens when they collapse. You could enhance remote viewing experiments, for instance, by loading the site with large quantities of data about highly unlikely events or situations, then quickly erase that data to collapse the singularity. "
-Dr Jacques Vallee

The neuroelectric circuitry of the network within our processing of reality may be an open integrative process whose programming and operating systems are the consciousness of abstracting, what Dr John Lilly termed "meta programming", as Alan Watts suggested, are reality maps which utilize an infinite number of relativistic conceptual models, or interactive programs to reach what has been termed a universal translator, a holographic consciousness, a networked set of interactive data bases continually uploading onto a platform which correlates this information in order to explore it's own nature, just as each constituent program is provided with the downloaded result in a feedback loop of what the Greeks termed Logos whose two main distinctions - the first dealing with human reason (the rationality in the human mind which seeks to attain universal understanding and harmony), the second with universal intelligence (the universal ruling force governing and revealing through the cosmos to humankind. Just as the circuits of the future butterfly are already built into the caterpillar by DNA programming code, our species may be experiencing a similar pathway, which we have yet to recognize in a coherent manner.

However if time is as the theoretical physicist Julian Barbour observes;
"That (time) has always proved to be difficult to attack, because if you try to get your hands on time, it’s always slipping through your fingers. People are sure that it’s there but they can’t get hold of it. Now my feeling is that they can’t get hold of it is because it isn’t there at all. That what we think is the flow of time—and even seeing motion—is actually an illusion. But I come to that after seeing what the quantum mechanics of the complete universe might be like."
If this is so the exchange of information within the continuum of space is instantaneous.

However in this network we may be experiencing a defragmentation of the shared programming language as it relates to the feedback loop of reality, in the form of a download, within the simulation of the terms of it's objectification.

"The logos is as here explained; but men are always incapable of understanding it, both before they hear it and when they have heard it for the first time. For though all things come into being in accordance with this logos, men seem as though they had never met with it, when they meet with words and actions such as I expound, separating each thing according to its nature and explaining how it is made. As for the rest of mankind, they are unaware of what they are doing after they wake, just as they forget what they did while asleep."
-Heraclitus

In other words, in the hierarchy of consciousness we divide into self and the non-self, the non self which is the sum aggregate consciousness in this holographic model may be responding to either a viral incoherence or a our quantum modeling of reality, which, only recently, we have been uploading onto this platform, new parameters of distinctions in language,that reciprocally changes the simulation. We all recognize that programming can be experiential, and that experience is energy encoded into information into a program which you are processing by reading these symbols as a form of experiential ingestion which adds dimensionality to information.

"As a metaphor - and I stress that it is intended as a metaphor - the concept of an invariant that arises out of mutually or cyclically balancing changes may help us to approach the concept of self. In cybernetics this metaphor is implemented in the ‘closed loop’, the circular arrangement of feedback mechanisms that maintain a given value within certain limits. They work toward an invariant, but the invariant is achieved not by a steady resistance, the way a rock stands unmoved in the wind, but by compensation over time. Whenever we happen to look in a feedback loop, we find the present act pitted against the immediate past, but already on the way to being compensated itself by the immediate future. The invariant the system achieves can, therefore, never be found or frozen in a single element because, by its very nature, it consists in one or more relationships - and relationships are not in things but between them.

If the self, as I suggest, is a relational entity, it cannot have a locus in the world of experiential objects. It does not reside in the heart, as Aristotle thought, nor in the brain, as we tend to think today. It resides in no place at all, but merely manifests itself in the continuity of our acts of differentiating and relating and in the intuitive certainty we have that our experience is truly ours."
-Ernst von Glasersfeld - p.p.186-7: ‘Cybernetics, Experience and the Concept of Self.’ [1970]

Experiential Information Theory...may be a linkage to the phenomenon of "ensuring that opportunities for the interplay between action and reflection are available in a balanced way... Praxis means that information are not studied in some kind of artificial isolation, but that ideas, skills, and insights learned are tested and experienced in real life. Essential to praxis is the opportunity to reflect on experience, so that formal study is informed by some appreciation of reality."



Within the framework of computer programming,meta programs are perhaps a metaphor in that "the writing of computer programs that write or manipulate other programs (or themselves) as their data or that do part of the work during compile time that is otherwise done at run time. In many cases, this allows programmers to get more done in the same amount of time as they would take to write all the code manually. The language in which the metaprogram is written is called the metalanguage. The language of the programs that are manipulated is called the object language. (This may correlate to the objectification of experiential data.) The ability of a programming language to be its own metalanguage is called reflection or reflexivity. Reflection is a valuable language feature to facilitate metaprogramming.(The subjected object of consciousness existing between a exteriorly and interiorly derived experiential information as a distinction in space) " -Definition of Coding Language From Wikipedia


Is the reality of this language of information, a temporal relativistic process of utility that is pliable to the extent, it can be rewritten by the shift of parameters within a metaprogram? Energy itself may be encoded information, especially the capability inferred that a energetic wave may be recoded to become a complex and coherent organization of molecules, at will and in reverse, whether it is biochemical or the sun's solar wind. The electrophysiology of the neural net is well known as well as the more fascinating prospect of the potential quantum state of synapses, which makes for a perfect non local gateway for a "download." This speculative thought then is transferred into the biological DNA, wherein if the genetic biochemistry of same can be mutated by experiential shift toward an adaptation that reflects a change in it's environment, again a process of information theory.
Gill Norman expressed the role in experiential genetics when he wrote of its enfolded nature in regard to specific learning impairments in relation to to a certain genetic disposition of aquiring comples language skills;

"This gene appears in a different form in humans to all other primates and mammals. It has undergone two non-silent mutations in the last 200,000 years of the human lineage which appear to have been very actively selected for. This may be the gene for complex language but we need to remember that without experience at the correct time it is never fully expressed.

As Terrence McKenna said, the most effective way for a non human sentience to communicate is to " put a bar code into a molecule." Especially for our purposes this mutation would be re-combinatorial process in regard to the positioning of information encoded through consciousness.

In all this there may be a reprogramming of our self and non self model of holographic consciousness that does not require stepping foot on Terra Firma, and would be a much more effective use of energy in terms of logistical intervention and would essentially share the same attributable characteristics as consciousness itself, as a combinatorial data processing of energy which can be encoded with information to effect change experientially. The dynamics of this situation resists entropy, as George Kelly once said, "But if you lay down a set of legalisms for governing future thought and action there can be only one outcome, and that is this: tomorrow's vast challenges will be met with nothing more astute than yesterday's petty restraints."

The Paranormal and The Autistic

Holographic Consciousness: The Continuum of Self and Non Self Sentience

"In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris, a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science.
Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since travelling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier,...."

Autism and Non Consensus Reality
If some of you have read my earlier posts, you know I am on the autistic spectrum as having Asperger's Syndrome as well as having many lifelong strange psychic and paranormal phenomenon that I have accommodated as my shadow, while not relinquishing my own skepticism toward either the experiences themselves or their causation because as an autistic I digest the world by systematizing it. Lately, through correspondence with a autistic friend,Dr Coral Hull, with similar and yet distinct experiences, I have have begun to examine something that should have been apparent all along to someone who is not autistic...is there a link between my autism and these experiences? More importantly, is there a linkage between perception of alternate or non consensus realities and the characteristics of my state?


The Cost of Holistic Empathy and Systemization
One of the distinctions of being autistic is the inability to conceptually model the functioning of other's thought processes in a coherent manner by observation so as to allow an ability to translate and integrate the twin aspects of the psyche, behavior and emotion in others. As a result, what is an innate ability in others to empathize with their fellow creatures in a social or interpersonal relationship(s) by being capable of this modeling, we, to varying degrees,lack the set of skills to accurately interpret the actions of others in relation to ourselves...we observe and analyze rather than participate.

On the other hand, this strange distinction has been rearranged, or the ability to experience this distinction as, if you will, a largely self reliant sentience, leads to one of two pathways according to which sex you happen to be. In females, in regard to physic ability, this narrowing or contraction of self in sharper focus due to not having to engage a similar proportion of potential energy toward others, this unused potential leads, to a more holistic, global sensitivity toward experiencing their environment, while in males this leads to the systematizing of experience, also in holistic terms. The female empath however,requires no synthesis of systemization as she is by nature integral and whole in her receptivity to an awareness of intangibilities that unify in transformation. The two are juxtaposed by the integration of these two archetypes in the melding of these predominate characteristics of a singular nature which unite them. While the female may incorporate systems thinking or a male empathic awareness, it is all within a spectrum as varied as there are individuals who are autistic.



On one hand, in this spectrum, if you recall the Voyager series, you are either a Data (Aspie) or a Troy (Empath), or a combination of both by standing outside of the experience, as distinct from ourselves, this at times, allows a view that has more clarity of the human situation, while ironically, we have largely been separated from it in our individual interpersonal experiences, so one aspect of life has been withdrawn and another offered, as we are, in a sense, arranged to observe in a larger unfiltered band of cognition that becomes distorted when focused on a narrower frequency of an individual subject of experience. While the vast majority of the world has difficulty in their vision on far sighted terms, we largely do not, however, we are notoriously myopic when in comes to experience in close range.

While males have a common characteristic of becoming frustrated with a lack of a systematic schedule in life, females can have a mirrored but distinct frustration in the lack of empathy exhibited by others. We have a difficult time integrating and processing the world as a experience of exterior continual cross purposes demonstrated in either emotional or logical terms.

Since I have lived with this since my birth, I now understand some of my own rather odd tendencies..one of which is being overwhelmed at close range with someone else speaking because I cannot filter the information visually, intellectually and the nuance of tone, the posturing, etc in another by what non autistics handily accomplish organically, by editing input....I used to resort to avoiding eye contact so I would not be blown out of the water.


The Boundaries of Persona
Then there is another facet embedded within this dynamic of autistic relationships to an exterior historical world, and that is the relationship between boundaries. In other words, non autistic people in varying degrees, have if you will a very comparatively strong sense of self in semi rigid persona, where this is who you are as distinct from others as a more existential entity, while the autistic has the same without the benefit of a strong boundary, like a fence or a moat surrounding a strong personality, as the self is largely an arrangement of translation rather than an edifice if you will that is dependent on the personality to be recognized on both interior and exterior terms...if you speak to an autistic...you can usually observe this lack of a personality written in caps quite easily. Boundaries and isolating conceptual basis of egotism are socially embedded by cultural reinforcement and further consolidated in the context of social systems. Again, in regard to psychic abilities,this lack of a good strong fence that others have been indoctrinated with seems to invite more in trough the door...both the positive and the negative.

Psychic Transference of a Transpersonal Reality
What is somewhat jarring is that my son has begun to exhibit some similar experiences and I wonder if it is because of his proximity to me on many levels or is this a new variant of my environment, as we do create an proverbial atmosphere which does extend from us and perhaps I have inadvertently entangled or enfolded him without his consent which is disturbing...this has also begun to appear in my daughter as well. Quite a dynamic. Two days ago, I was wrestling with myself in the mental gymnastics of self examination as to the positive and negative aspects of this pathway I am on more accurately, what am I doing in terms of actual results toward others...My son woke up and said "Dad, you're not going to believe this but I have a message for you..'Both light and darkness are in the same container.'" He had met someone who had introduced himself as me from another realm or position in time..I had just written the "Water Clock" on this same subject that day prior to his "dream" of which he nor anyone knew existed.

I had a similar experience by way of my friend also a few days ago, who upon my relating a nonsensical vision I had, confirmed that what I saw was what she was devoting her focus upon. In our previous and continuing correspondence, we have compared notes as autistics as to the dynamics of how these events occur, and we both agree that these paranormal events occur when we are not self aware of our relationship to them as if our already boundary defenses are at moments.. weak, which they are already comparatively weak compared to non autistics. As if to underscore this dynamic, when she focused upon them, they ceased.

This dovetails into laboratory environments that are intently focused on experimenting with non local human effects By intent shared concentration, there may be a field generated wherein the force of these efforts tie down, diminish or deflect any potentiality of these energies. Whereas in spontaneous circumstances these energies are not entangled in intent or within the fragmenting field of logic which repels it, these effects appear.

What is fascinating is the linkage between those who practice healing by psychic intention at a distance, in the scientific experimental studies of this phenomenon, a similar description occurs, when they relate that they are most successful when they as self they stand back,off to the side and let this process occur.

Another more stereotypical yet provocative experience is the often recounted issue of problem solving. The more intently the subject tries to derive an answer, the more illusive it appears, and yet when they surrender their aim in defeat and cease their mental focus upon it...the answer appears.

The inverse seems to make manifest the polar opposite when it is applied to materiality in the utilization of meditating toward a specific goal whether it is Tibetan monks in subzero temperatures steaming wet sheets dry, or the more common and now accepted phenomenon of bio-feedback.

Or, if one considers the spiking of REG devices at Princeton's PEAR facility with global catastrophic events, it becomes apparent that we are but holographic representations that are constituent portions of a larger consciousness, which is deflected to a greater or smaller comparative manner by our self created boundaries of an over riding distinctiveness, or separation from it, as an unwittingly editing filter of experience between the sum and the divisor.

The entrainment of our holographic individuality reminds me of Lyall Watson's observation that the more we invest in certain or specific potentialities, lo and behold the proportion of material evidence we find is in direct proportion to the density or agreement of our constituent portions of consciousness which have interlocked by consensus toward it, as a manifestation of an intermediary reality, which appears to the individual as if manifested from the ether rather than from wave to molecule.


The Dance of Self\Non Self
What I think is occurring is the nearly imperceptible( to most)arrival of the recognition of a transpersonal non self, which is evolutionary by it's organic nature, and that it is too often or nearly always mistaken for a non human individuated sentience because it is transpersonal and non local and yet bears a very strong bond toward our self as we define it in terms of consensus.

We are non local by nature and yet the capability to produce localized effects produce a highly paradoxical confusion as to it's source as we cannot rewire our paradigms either blithely or go back on our foundational errors when we are face with an evolutionary shift in position between the observer and the observed as to say they are the twin aspects of a unifying principle of reality that in a nested hierarchy are two sides of the same coin.

Non human sentience as aliens, demons, spirits, etc are ghost images in varying degrees of intermediate density in direct relation to the transpersonal reality of self, despite as being recognized as demonstrative straw dogs in a fun house mirror, they remain lodged as impediments between self and the non self in the continuum of holographic sentience.

As Autistics, perhaps what is occurring to us is the enfoldment in this virally growing transpersonal evolution of the species as early detectors of this new entangled field of a non local, shared consciousness repositioning itself in a transformed relationship between observation and the observed, which is also a redefinition of the boundaries superimposed upon the duality of self\not self.

Perhaps in this case the constituent portion of the holographic sentience we inhabit is the self, while the not self is also sentient and distinct by being the aggregate sum of it's facets.

This new epoch is scattering the paradigms to and fro as if they were dry leaves at the end of Fall, or in the circles of self referential axiomatic error, while we watch and observe the portent and attributions of the confusion of tongues toward not as we assume is an exterior anomaly but we ourselves as we have become.. an anomaly to our perception..increasingly...when the dust settles...the previous, now existing pieces of the jigsaw paradigm will pass away to be replaced by the recognition of organic interrelationship between the reciprocal consciousness of self and non self consciousness toward materiality.

This overlapping contagion of western civilization which is based on the universe as an engineering demonstration of a rigid mechanical architecture may be viral as it is born from the fluidity of the dynamics inherent in a field and its evolution or ongoing development occurs through adopting and becoming what best allows it to evolve into greater awareness, through us and not originating in reverse from the mechanics of the closed system organic biology that is once again, represented as reality. The implications of this are fascinating to reflect upon.

This is the alpha and the omega of a zero point in evolutionary terms...the butterfly sheds its cocoon from the caterpillar as the increase in energy needed to transform itself peaks toward a post mechanical and technologically based reformulation ..what is left behind is only the skin of a previous form, as a transformed manifestation of it's materiality emerges into a new relationship with it's natural environment by an eventual adaptation to circumstance.

The Water Clock

"Dream delivers us to dream, and there is no end to illusion. Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its focus. From the mountain you see the mountain. We animate what we can, and we see only what we animate. Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. It depends on the mood of the man, whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. There are always sunsets, and there is always genius; but only a few hours so serene that we can relish nature or criticism. "
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Every time we walk along a beach some ancient urge disturbs us so that we find ourselves shedding shoes and garments or scavenging among seaweed and whitened timbers like the homesick refugees of a long war."
-Loren Eisisley

It was a long since vanished summer afternoon, whilst riding my tricycle up and down the city sidewalk under my mothers watchful eyes as she sat on the stoop,when in a jarring bolt of recognition, I realized I had returned here. I made an oath to myself that I would never forget, and I will inscribe this memory of riding this tricycle as a way to remind a future me as to not forget this get this glimpse of reoccurance. That was fifty three years ago.

Physicists now strongly believe that sequential time does not exist. We are, at a fundamental level, time and space.

When you bring energy into this equation at the level of consciousness, in the act of observation, you create distinctions or separate objects that exist in space by means of a measured continuum.

Another discovery was the phenomenon of retrocausation, wherein you influence the past in the future which is from our point is the present.Some have studied this as a causation for presentiment or precognition. I often wonder if my adolescent oath is awaiting to greet me as a reminder that I have carried into the future and then thus return it to myself in a past whence it reappears. A place marker in time. The fact that Schopenhauer, Nietzshe and Ouspensky intuitively predicted the experimental verification of this principle is remarkable.



However, when technology or knowledge of certain principles reach their potential, there is a danger as related by Morris Berman;

"When systems, be they personal or societal, reach the point in their development where a catastrophic breakdown is possible, then tremendous archetypal energy and knowledge is released, believes Berman. (Think of the Berlin Wall.) It is a time, then, of enormous possibilities, but dangers, as well. He warns against this new, saving energy and knowledge being co-opted by a fanatical political movement, a la Hitler, or by scientism or the corporation. This is not woolly thinking. Think of Pacific Telesis's $30 million experiment to educate public employees with the esoteric teaching of Gurdjieff. Ponder Werner Erhard's est-based consulting business divorcing powerful Eastern spiritual techniques from their religious mooring and moving them wholesale into American boardrooms. Consider Digital Equipment Corporation spending $1,200 a day having its executives taught to visualize white light, then planning global product strategy. This is a bastardization, a mixing of the sacred and profane. Give ego the sacred and you don't get a sacred ego. You get black magic—the bending of energy by the priests of money for the sake of the business chakra, the numinous bottom line. Tomorrow's CEO may be keynoting a sales conference on the use of the visualization of St. Ignatius Loyola to increase market share. Don't laugh: Himmler had the S.S. doing just that."

I had arrived on a errand to find some long forgotten item on the shelves of a grocery store. What I found was seemingly endless variations of the same product. I had to examine each one in order to insure I didn't select one that would not work for my purposes as well as finding the one that would. A very elderly man shuffled up the aisle and positioned himself quietly beside me as if he was searching for some specific product as well. I commented that there were an overabundance of choices. With a broad smile he said, "Thats the whole point...isn't it?" He left without choosing any of them.

Afew moments later, I sat in my car in the parking lot and was about to put the key in the ignition and then paused as what this gentleman had said was digested. I was taken back to elementary school and reexamined my imaginary plan for a national holiday named Stop. The naive intent behind it was to have adults stop for a day and examine why they do what they have chosen to do. Presidents, bank clerks, the homeless, the soldiers, everyone...would stop. I wanted to rearrange my world, my context and this to a ten year old, seemed like it had potential as a winner. Give adults what they could not give themselves.I put the key in the ignition and headed home and as I drove I intently observed the faces in the cars as they passed me and I passed them. What script is this we are following? Did we write this or was it written without our consent?

"I wander all night in my vision,
Stepping with light feet, swiftly and noiselessly stepping and
stopping,
Bending with open eyes over the shut eyes of sleepers,
Wandering and confused, lost to myself, ill-assorted,
contradictory,
Pausing, gazing, bending, and stopping.
How solemn they look there, stretch'd and still,
How quiet they breathe, the little children in their cradles.
The wretched features of ennuy‚s, the white features of
corpses, the livid faces of drunkards, the sick-gray faces
of onanists,
The gash'd bodies on battle-fields, the insane in their strong-door'd
rooms, the sacred idiots, the new-born emerging
from gates, and the dying emerging from gates,
The night pervades them and infolds them."
-Walt Whitman The Sleepers

The chalk squeaked on the board as he drew a horizontal line from one end to the other. The tapping of the chalk sounded as though he was sending a telegraph. On one end of the line he wrote "birth" and on the other side "death." and then he looked at each of us intently. Well?
I ventured that it was linear. He spun around and connected the two ends of this line into a circle and drew one vertical line at the top of this path, bisecting it..."Zero Point", he stated. The reformation of the past was the subject. Casting aside the subjectivity of time, it was always now. The intellect has a great deal of difficulty with non linear logic. As Max Black argued if A causes B, but occurs after B, B often precludes A, therefore A cannot cause B.

Some time ago, I posed a question of causation to myself. What Went Wrong? I needed the most extreme example, the best documented case. I spent a great deal of money and several months reading evry available book on Adolph Hitler...his abusive father..his unhappy mother..his mother attempting to blackmail his real biological father, the result of her having an affair with her Jewish employer.

Hitler made it illegal for German women to work in Jewish households, and after the "Anschluss" (annexation) of Austria, Hitler had his father's hometown destroyed by turning it into an artillery practice area which reduced it to little more than scattered rubble and dust. Despite this attempt to literally destroy his past, it seems that Hitler feared and more accurately loathed his origins.

In this cycle of tragedy from our perspective in the future, we walk the streets of Braunau, where we see a stone slab appearing at first as a tombstone which proclaims; "For Peace, Freedom and Democracy. Never Again Fascism. Millions of Dead Warn (us)". Who would have either the courage and faith to erect a similar stone, that reads instead, send your deepest and most concentrated intentions to alter young Adolph's childhood life of abuse and deceit?

The remarkable discoveries of William Braud and Vlatco Vedral by way of their quantum thought experiments in retrocausation led to a dramatic cover story in New Scientist "Quantum Entanglement: How The Future Can Influence The Past" which Lynne Mc Taggart, in 'The Intention Experiment' summarizes Braud's own views of it's implications,

"These moments were analogous to a sapling that could still be bent and trained before it's trunk was too stiff and it's branches too large, the brain of a child was far more open to influence and learning than an adults, or even a virus,which is far easier to overcome in it's infancy. Random events,decisions with equal likely choices, or illness-all probabilistic moments disposed to early influence where human intervention could slightly shift the outcome in a certain direction...might be the events in our lives open to retroinfluence."

No one in the crowd that brushes past us nor in the sorrow of his millions of victims and survivors is likely to provide such a counter intuitive intention and so, we stand in irony before a marker that in one sense that we understand perhaps is a testimony to a hope against hope in a living now existing in our past, as the circle wheels around as a whirlpool of causation in eternity.

I traveled further back in time, in this Gordian Knot where the historical world met the individual world at the moment of birth. Mr Gurdjieff met me there. "The two will never meet" he said.

I knew what he meant. Whether we chose to paint the aggregate sum of the results of causation red, blue or yellow, we cannot alter the interior by the exterior, by politics, by religion or movements...it is still essentially the sum result because this changing of the sum in order to magically alter the multiplier is an exercise of wishful reversed reductionism..

All of the protests, all of the political movements, even religion is an exterior attempt change the exterior resulting manifestation rather than at the source of causation from within, we try to externalize an internal transformation.

I formally practice what is called The Remembrance of Death every day as well as it's twin, the remembrance of it's Source. The Zero Point, the smaller resurrection of the Dead. Here I am in a dreaming world, like Ivan Osokin, who was warned by the magician, prior to his return, that the wish for another opportunity would result in a illusionary pantomime of choice, a template of automatisms......a dream without awakening. Theoretically a closed timelike curve, in which the world line of an object returns to its origin, arise from some exact solutions to the Einstein field equation.

As in modern physics, Hindu cosmology envisaged the universe as having a cyclical nature. The end of each kalpa brought about by Shiva's dance is also the beginning of the next. Rebirth follows destruction. Science uses a heuristic method that requires objective proof of mathematical theories. Yet both have proposed similar scenarios for the creation of the universe.

In Tibetan cosmology, such concepts of “eternal recurrence” repeatedly display the same apocalyptic schema on a macrocosmic scale as it intertwines the human condition in quantum terms with the the physics of materiality : a state of paradise at the start, then accelerating decline of morals and the conditions of life, a destructive global catastrophe at the end and a glorious new beginning which recreates the original paradise.

Then there is the mystery of such objects as the Coso Artifact which appears to be in essence, the cross section of an electrical device, perhaps a spark plug embedded in rock. Is this a 500,000 year old artifact of a future past?


I stood at the station platform as my train arrived, the bustle of passengers, the discordant snippets of conversation overheard, the expectant arrivals, the words of departure. Where was I? The train pulled in, and not having any obvious alternative, my curiosity prompted me to board it along with the others as I took my seat.I was nervous, where is this thing going to, what is this destination, why am I here, will I be found to be, what I am, a ridiculous interloper in my own extradimnesional's dream environment?

The train was pulling out as I stared out as the scene at the station glided past my window. I felt someone sit beside me. It was Mr Gurdjieff.."Everyone has iconic symbols...this one belongs to you...as an expression of reality...of making sense from nonsense...this is nonsensical...there is hope for you...not for this...this will pass away along with you"

We sat in silence. The passengers conversations, the woman walking down the aisle, the crying child became muted. He tapped my shoulder forcefully and intently underscored his words with a fierce and penetrating gaze..."...only super efforts count...when time itself is counted"

I had nor seen Ed for nearly four decades and we sat at peace on a bench in silence. He was the artist of dreams, I was the writer of chronicles. We both knew time was counted in this brief reunion as we compared notes on board this moving vehicle beneath our feet which is now a dialog of dreams. Our quest for truth as we aged, an unfinished dialog as we parted.

“Many of us who walk to and fro upon our usual tasks are prisoners drawing mental maps of escape”
-Loren Eiseley

Beneath the oceanic surface of a dream, the water clock circumambulates in the pulses of lightning in a dark cloud of neurons,as if we stand stranded on some nameless field out on the Kansas plains watching the passage of a summer rain, that as Eisely observed, produce the haunted ghosts that cry out in a vivid and plaintive memory as they were once you....a discarded mirror...children's toys rusting in a field...It was David P Morgan who said upon revisiting a cherished memory in the context of the present,where it had become an overgrown and indecipherable ruin, "Look away...."

Perhaps we do so at our own peril.

The Subjected Observer As An Illusionist of Facts

"Once Zhuangzi dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering around, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know he was Zhuangzi. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuangzi. But he didn't know if he was Zhuangzi who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming he was Zhuangzi. Between Zhuangzi and a butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things."(2, tr. Burton Watson 1968:49)



"We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves."
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A Tragicomedy of Objective Relativism
"I think therefore I am.” This was the infamous statement Descartes made when seeking to prove the validity of his reality that is applicable to all sentient beings. After this, Descartes appears to have become a little bit stuck in discovering a similar truth to apply to all things that are not Descartes. Is objectivity a useful tool toward the unknown or is objectivity a result of relativism that is dependent on critical assumptions that may be founded upon an arbitrary position rooted in self interest? Is objectivity a reactive and defensive psychology of assumptions toward a reality, that in of itself that is non judgmental or ambivalent toward one's position in a situation? Is the avoidance of enfoldment within subjectivity, by using objectivity an illusion? Is this the lesson of the paranormal that is being continually reformulated?



In other words,as a tool of utility for consensus of terms, the intellect has its uses, but ultimately it may be an artifice without foundation. Even statistical analysis can be subjective, for those of us old enough to recall the follies surrounding the infamous Project Blue Book.
"The statistical methods developed by scientists cannot be separated from the social, political and economic forces that motivate the research. The early inventors of statistics were motivated to invent mathematical tools to measure and improve the human race. They were not interested in statistics itself as a scientific method; they were looking for a way to describe and prove their political ideology of human superiority and inferiority. The tests that comprise the foundation of statistical analysis were invented to provide authoritative support for the paradigms of domination and exploitation created by social, political and economic forces. That does not make the mathematics incorrect, or nullify knowledge that has been gained by the use of statistical analysis, but it does raise questions about the objectivity of the methods. It places the invention of the scientific method deeply within a social, political and economic context."

Act Two: The Assurance of Uncertainty
The examples of our inability to objectively position ourselves can be found all around us in as many variations as we care to chose, the advent of institutionalized crisis management toward the governance of what are essentially ad hoc solutions fraught with cross purposes in order to contain the slow burning fires that have reached the outskirts of our town, none of which can be extinguished by the profound fallibility of human nature. In other words, we are increasingly unprepared or incapable of comprehending not only the tenuous situation we have engineered from the conveniences of faulty critical assumptions, but rather the necessity of extraordinary efforts to step back from the precipice we are steadily approaching in a organized rigidity incapable of change, unless our options are removed and necessity mandates a knee jerk retreat and thus we are forced to change. We are on a proverbial road trip where our map has been found to have serious errors in it and our gas gauge is approaching empty. We cross our fingers and simply hope against hope for the best, which we acknowledge is at best, whistling past the graveyard.

Should there be extraterrestrials, the precipitous and advantageous tact would be to let this Malthusian dynamic run it's course to the soft collapse of a hard encounter with reality, then we would, in effect, be out of options and in dire need of intervention, not as a choice but rather as a mandate of circumstance.
If all the surveying activities of such a non human and sentient race led to an accurate assessment of our resources, and the measurement of consumption in relation to population distribution,as well as the impact of environmental changes in natural systems impacting the two, this is perhaps a calculable calendar which could set a projection of convergence to the setting of a tipping point whether it be in decades or months.In the interim, we make matters worse by declaring war on war, war on poverty, war on famine which in turn breeds more war, more poverty and more famine by the profusion of new cross purposes under the guise of objectivity, which we cannot seem to muster in any significant manner even to our own imperiled situation.



"Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling along the dam of the Hao Waterfall when Zhuangzi said, "See how the minnows come out and dart around where they please! That's what fish really enjoy!" Huizi said, "You're not a fish — how do you know what fish enjoy?"
Zhuangzi said, "You're not I, so how do you know I don't know what fish enjoy?"
Huizi said, "I'm not you, so I certainly don't know what you know. On the other hand, you're certainly not a fish — so that still proves you don't know what fish enjoy!"
Zhuangzi said, "Let's go back to your original question, please. You asked me how I know what fish enjoy — so you already knew I knew it when you asked the question. I know it by standing here beside the Hao." (17, tr. Watson 1968:188-9)

Act Three:The Illusion of Discrete Control
With this possibility in mind, perhaps there is a form of intervention we have overlooked, the mandated necessity of nature to adapt to mutate, to realign the constituent facets of it's systems to as if to ward off an infectious incoherence in it's organic interrelationships of mutual sustenance. In other words, all of these anomalous events are a immune system at work, focused in the very epicenter of the disease, us.... which requires a profound shift in the operant parameters of our own behavior which is a reorientation of consciousness.This reorientation is marked by intermediary realities that are non existent as discrete material objects, yet they have the profound capability to assert themselves squarely in evidential footprints
that deconstruct our models of our own basis of foundational behavior, the nature of reality itself, which we have and are ignorant of despite our self destructive assurances to the contrary. If this is so, what is the endgame? Is it a viral process that leads to disassociation or are we ourselves perhaps unconsciously disassociated in our foundational beliefs as evidenced by not what we say but what we do.

Are we collectively projecting upon this shift the dualism of savior and devil due to our own subconscious awareness of our fallibility toward being incapable of coherent behavior, which is prone to suggestion, influence and manipulation...however perhaps this does not require a discrete agency to insert itself as either a malignant or beneficent steering entity, as we think turn left while we turn right.
All of this is screamingly obvious and yet it appears, we would prefer anything other than ourselves to point a finger at, because we are profoundly clueless as to changing or more importantly, how to change our minds and toward what, ourselves? How do we study ourselves by using ourselves without the benefit of any basis of comparison to another sentience?

"He who dreams of drinking wine may weep when morning comes; he who dreams of weeping may in the morning go off to hunt. While he is dreaming he does not know it is a dream, and in his dream he may even try to interpret a dream. Only after he wakes does he know it was a dream. And someday there will be a great awakening when we know that this is all a great dream. Yet the stupid believe they are awake, busily and brightly assuming they understand things, calling this man ruler, that one herdsman ‑ how dense! Confucius and you are both dreaming! And when I say you are dreaming, I am dreaming, too. Words like these will be labeled the Supreme Swindle. Yet, after ten thousand generations, a great sage may appear who will know their meaning, and it will still be as though he appeared with astonishing speed.'
-Zhuangzi

Act Four: Masking Self Deception
This is where the intentional demonstration of alternate realities falls into play and certainly from an appropriate receptivity of context that we all have multiple perspectives which produce incoherent behaviors as man is not one, he is many, his name is Legion, he can murder to bring peace, he can destroy to live, and so forth.
What I am suggesting is that we ourselves may be paranormal and the paranormal that we term is a misnomer, a case of shifting the emphasis on another party as being incoherent while we critically observe and study it from a skewed perspective of being
assured of our certainty toward comprehending the material while the intangible portion of our being is not only inconsistent but rather, it is living in a proverbial dream that denies the uncertainty principal applied to itself. This promotes a world view of paradoxical proportions,which is fairly incredible that some would deny it's existence by completely removing themselves as interrelated to the phenomenon as participative observers and not viewing themselves in a sincere manner, as if they would prefer to objectify subjectivity in a game of sophistry which has no relationship to them by the terminology they employ. This schizophrenic form of denial goes far beyond the boundaries of the paranormal, it is the matrix we have constructed to conduct our affairs within as if the axiomatic illusion of separateness from nature itself, our fellow man or the larger context of institutionally refusing to examine
the inability of our measuring sticks to capture and freeze a non mechanical universe.
At the same time, is it really so surprising we have UFOs that are based upon a solidity that when peeled away as layers of an onion, has nothing in of itself that corresponds to our terms as if it were a purposeful shell surrounding empty space?
If and when the other shoe drops, I have a fairly certain and reasonable guess, it will not be aliens or monsters we find at the end of the yellow brick road, we are the aliens and monsters we chase as they are portions of ourselves whose true nature is yet to be revealed behind the none too surprising mask we lurk behind, in the very same manner we say they do.

Exteriorized Manifestations Of A Global DoubleBind
Is there an emotional and instinctual component to the anomalous events percolating as if it were a water vapor released from a boiling pot? If so, could this potential field of energy condense to fill in a template that we provide both collectively and subconciously? If there is a subconscious, psychological aspect of anomalous phenomenon that propels such events as psycho-kinesis, poltergeist phenomenon or alleged demonic possessions in relation to the classic double bind wherein one is faced with two equally unworkable options in a dance between fight or flight, which produces a release of emotional kinetic energy made manifest, then I ask is there a corresponding hierarchy of both origin and manifestation within our species as a whole, that produces the spectrum of either dream like or nightmarish intermediary realities whose source is our collective anxieties? Is this a quantum principle tied to the illogic and deep-seated instinctual subconscious within our species that is caught in a double bind? The Extraterrestrial archetypes, the strange creatures of an unknown nature that haunt a vanishing and at peril ecology, are these manifestations of a collective nature within propagations of our own species inadvertent creation? I am not referring to these as imaginary but rather a form of thought made manifest as exteriorized dreams, which are neither intangible nor material. There are several ways to view the psycho dynamics in which these phenomenon are embedded. On one hand this field of emotional and instinctual energy may serve as a propagating receptivity toward a distinct and opportunistic sentience which is non human similar to the disassociate experience of possession where emotional conflict is externalized upon a template of belief, on the other, it may be a proverbial feedback loop which operates on quantum principles, or , casting aside the notion that all phenomenon can be studied as discrete components, if there is a inter-relationship, what are it’s dynamics if it happened to be a case of both, not either \ or?


The Incomplete Self: The Quest For The Missing Link of Transpersonal Reality
In the screen of our projection which reflects a sensate awareness of our environment that rests on the threshold between a non-locatable point of observation and the information we referentially and indirectly experience through the creations of our cerebral cortex, we create our own language of interpretation based on what is essentially an incomplete or perhaps more accurately, a limited context of relationships, based on consensus and imprinting that cannot be read as you read this text but none the less exist as energy encrypted embedded as thought, which in turn, is based on a limited set of alphabetic symbols. In the past, and now, the intellect as, if you will, as a program of linear data in a matrix of these associations has severe limitations as to accuracy in terms of it’s utility toward allowing the usage of this adaptive media in communication, description, and visualization. If I type now the word apple, your processes immediately visualize an image associated with this term, although in reality outside of this word being used to define a stereotyped object, in reality, there is no such thing as an apple. What does exist
is the medium of thought which often is the case, is where we self identify the context of our existence materially as well as intangibly. In this sense, perhaps Poe could look through the transparent adaptation of thought in lamenting that the indirect experience of life through the encryption of it’s alphabetics is but “a dream within a dream.” In this sense we can say with some reasonable amount of certainty in our own context of shared terms, we exist in a world of references that are poised in relation to one another, which provide us with our experience, whose sum total can be described as a persona, or mask of utility that we wear as one fused into it’s manifestation, while at the same time, outside of these terms, we do not exist in this sense of objectification, and yet we had to be, if you will preconscious yet self aware in order to be embedded within this picture frame by the rote repetition of language. Is there but some portion of consciousness that does not require the terms of language within thought and thereby through this imperceptible crack in our veneer, seeps some indigestible experience that defies our best housekeeping efforts? Your ability to read this text did not predate the capability to acquire the ability to master this process. In other words, if we did not have a canvas, we could not create anything upon its surface. Can we dare say that consciousness as described as self-awareness, then predated the creation of thought? If so, then what is this consciousness without thought? Is self-awareness and consequently the relationship between object and subject available without the artifice of thought? This leads into the application of experience outside of the references of thought as being described in language as paranormal, anomalous or supernatural as terms to identify what essentially is a place marker for an inability to process and integrate the context of experience within referential and consensus terms. From this perhaps we can reasonably infer that this demarcation is a distinction that is prearranged by the artifice of all of the above, and so, perhaps we can reasonably conclude that our composite conceptual model of reality as a term of reference is incomplete. While this may appear as self evidently obvious, we weight the impact of the intellect in referential sensate terms, and so, we are caught in a repetitive loop of skepticism and affirmation, that is focused on evidence of materiality that confirms our relational references are linked to thought in a coherent and reliable form, which this phenomenon by it’s assertion into experience defies. And so we stand at a barricade erected at the end of a blind alley in an argumentative stance whilst attempting to fit round pegs into square holes. So, in consideration of this situation, we then proceed to ask yet another question which is twofold. Is the paranormal experience inevitable, and if so, is it purposeful to our aim? So then we must ask what is our aim in relation to the paranormal? For those who profess to have none prior to the experience of it, then we must ask ourselves, is this a form of evidence toward it’s existence as a potentiality that is simply a portion of ourselves as relational and referential creature which we cannot identify if we set aside the distinctions between self and not self and formally recognize the interrelationship between the two? In other words, do we exist in a transpersonal reality that is operant behind and yet not beyond the scrim of referential verification which props with increasingly dark forebodings, an existence of empirical denial when faced with a void in our self-image? Is this the simple question that lies at the existential root of our aim to seek ourselves through the demonstration of ciphers, labyrinths and paradox? The creation of these metaphors certainly arise from circumstance as if we could draw a cartographic representation of our situation, beyond the barricades of language, as the visualization process certainly precedes the modality of thought in our development. In the interior metaphor of visual language, dreams substantially replace language as the predominate context for a symbology as it occupies a realm where the empirically non existent can be experienced without the benefit of being discrete objects. Can this capability to mimic sensate experience be transposed to a waking state by some as of yet, unrecognized medium? When I consider global anomalies which have the imprint of the realm of dreams, one cannot help but to consider that perhaps the boundaries we affix to experience are merely axiomatic posturing. Of course we recognize suggestibility as a natural human state, and so one has to consider if these global phenomenon are the insertion into this field of consciousness, of a re- balancing dynamic between the potential state of dreams and waking consciousness. Into this expanding field of awareness, could perhaps be the collective expression of shared yet suppressed wishes,fears and desires that mirror our state as a aggregate
species.



Pathways of Convergence
The exponential interest in the paranormal while evident seems to be another unanswered question in relation to this searching for and approaching the cracks in the foundational nature of our consensus terms that can be correlated to the increasing instability of a parallel path wherein we confront the effects of our behavior based on our consensus terms and find that at the center of this dissolution of the natural world, our conceptual models are in need of revision as at their heart as we apply them to our survival as a species, we cannot, at this point, have in hand, another conceptual basis of redefining them as every model we have had to this point is unacceptable to an increasing number of individuals and at the same time, a ferocious fundamentalism throughout the world stands in defiance by denial that something extremely serious is defective and self destructive within us, which falls into trap of we are all responsible so no one individually is.
At the same time, time itself is rapidly undergoing an increase of rate in relation to what the artifice of time is for… which is to measure events on a comparative basis. In other words, in global terms, the squeeze is on whether it is hydrocarbons, environment, tribal warfare, competing interests for resources, the competing advance of military technology in preparation for the next axiomatic assumption that there is to be continual warfare, we are experiencing a Darwinian self fulfilling prophecy whose most effective sociopathic adherent was Adolph Hitler. The composite subconscious anxiety veiled by a thin layer of shrill escapism growing shriller with nervous laughter, may be a force which has over run it’s containment and seeks expression in a public demonstration that we increasingly are at odds to categorize with impunity. I was rereading the accounts of the PEAR project at Princeton, and was struck by the results of experiments conducted using random event generators and the strong evidence that an unknown field which is presumably instinctual and emotional could influence the random nature of events, particularly ones that were of a global nature, catastrophic and highly charged with emotional responses. So then, I wondered aloud to myself, if these events trigger a measurable response and influence upon randomness itself as an organized field of energy, what else is this field capable of in quantum terms, could this be a portion of a organic mosaic whose effects could be exteriorized beyond influencing REGs ?

The Intermediate State of Transpersonal Phenomenon
Between these twin peaks, we have the correlating increase in not only recognized forms of anomalous events, but new formulations are arising in direct proportion to these two intangible and dynamic forces, which is (A ) The absence of a conceptual basis of referential identity to replace the one that which (B) Is visibly driving us over an empirical cliff and so then we have (C) the rising tension between the two being reconciled in an intermediate state of anxiety manifested by the illogic of anomalous phenomenon, akin to the observed increased triggering of random event generators in a crisis such as 9/11. Is this indicative of a field, that we as facets of a larger group consciousness, contribute our share, in a holographic manner, which then manifests as a intermediary field of dreams? Does the interaction of the first two forces track alongside each other, creating the third? I think so whether this is an agent provocateur that utilizes quantum principles or simply the conditions in which irreconcilable realities co join in a surrealistic dance experienced as a waking dream is a footnote that could be expanded into a volume. In Part Two, we will look in the mirror to determine the source of this anomalistic phenomenon. Are we ourselves as constituent portions of a species consciousness, the source of these non-consensus events? Are these events visible dreaming of a subconscious yet collective energy that has the capability in sum total to rearrange molecular structures? Is there a way to measure this? Do these events correlate with the meta-logical and yet empirically illogical attributes of dreams?

The Relationship of Objectivity and Observers
"Eternity is the infinite existence of every moment of time. ... Eternity has one dimension more than time. ... If the space of time is four-dimensional, then the space of eternity is five-dimensional. (and) The sixth dimension is the line of the actualization of all possibilities."
-PD Ouspensky

"Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows, thought itself is in an actual process of movement. That is to say, one can feel a sense of flow in the stream of consciousness not dissimilar to the sense of flow in the movement of matter in general. May not thought itself thus be a part of reality as a whole? But then, what could it mean for one part of reality to 'know' another, and to what extent would this be possible?"
-David Bohm

In Part One, we looked at several aspects of consciousness in terms of interconnectivity in relation to the phenomenon of ghosts. In the holographic model of consciousness, each differentiated individual is only so on the surface, an all are facets of a much larger form of consciousness akin to what has been referred to in the past as a universal mind, which is an earlier holographic model of the same principle, less the mechanism which provides it. The linkage between this holographic or "universal" mind may be found in the quantum principle of non locality as applied to consciousness. In other words, our point of observation may be non local as pointed out by both John Lilly and Evan Walker among others, this presupposes the brain is a transceiving organ, which then certainly would be the primary medium in which the experience of encountering the "ghost image" of the person(s) would be aligned within our locus of experience. Dr Evan has suggested that the quantum potential state found in the neural net, specifically in the synaptic cleft, may be how we "log in."
Also, we examined briefly the concept of consciousness as perhaps overly anthropomorphic as in the example of the experimentations upon canine consciousness appears to indicate that if they were endowed with an appropriate larynx, they would be fully capable of falling within our terms as being as sentient as we ourselves are.
In other words, this field may be more common than we simply assume on an axiomatic basis. Krishnamurti also expanded the defining characteristics within field of consciousness upon a holographic principle as an individual as the species and the species is the individual. So, again, if we assume a coherent unity to these various aspects of consciousness, we then ask ourselves fine,but what is the proverbial carrier wave that allows a field of interaction? Further perhaps as a sublimation, we may or may not infer as this line of reasoning may be traced to it's root in a question, does matter in of itself in it's reciprocal relationships exhibit a form of sentience within a hierarchy of nested organizational complexities ? Is the information field such a carrier wave which provides for nested individuated form beyond death? If such a locus of a holographic model of information exists and is coherent, is this similar then to also an earlier model akin to the universal mind,which is the content of such an entity, an Ashkaic record?
It is interesting to note that Jacques Vallee has tentatively dabbled in these same waters to some degree briefly in relation to the UFO phenomenon which falls into my own purview that these various forms are actually from a common source which is the interaction between the individuated state and station of the observer in relation to a larger field of energetic "thought forms" or intermediary states of information. In evolutionary terms, this is not a static or far from an entropic constant, and the phase in which we are both embedded within and participating by, may be shifting it's positional state between the observer and the observed. In control theory,as related to computer systems, the observer state may not necessarily be deduced from direct observation but rather from it's inputs and outputs. as Peter Russell observed; "Where dogs differ from us is not in their capacity for consciousness but in what they are conscious of. Dogs may not be self-aware, and may not think or reason as we do. In these respects they are less aware than we are. On the other hand, dogs can hear higher frequencies of sound than we do, and their sense of smell far surpasses our own. In terms of their sensory perception of the world around, dogs may be considered more aware than humans. A useful analogy for understanding the nature of consciousness is that of a painting. The picture itself corresponds to the contents of consciousness; the canvas on which it is painted corresponds to the faculty of consciousness. An infinite variety of pictures can be painted on the canvas; but whatever the pictures, they all share the fact that they are painted on a canvas. Without the canvas there would be no painting. The pictures that are painted on the canvas of consciousness take many forms. They include our perceptions of the world around, our thoughts, our ideas, our beliefs, our values, our feelings, our emotions, our hopes, our fears, our intuitions, our dreams and fantasies -- and more. But none of this would be possible if we did not in the first place possess the capacity for consciousness. Without it there would be no subjective experience of any kind."
In relation to our chief feature, or difficulty,even impossibility in determining self without a direct basis of comparison in the exterior portion of our reality, leads us again to the study of ourselves as a series of subjective distinctions from our fellows in terms of the referential content.And so, if we are not cognizant of a basis of this relationship as to how we consistently redefine ourselves as a dynamic process, then when we edit where or at what we are observing may be more important than what we experience.

"The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds."
-R. D. Laing

Valuation As A Bias Toward Results
What is interesting to compare the variation found in the experience of those who experience ghosts, UFOs, abductions and other psychic phenomenon as being indicative of the state of the observer being a steering principle to the state of the message.
If I said to twenty individuals,a simple statement such as "God has no sexual identity", some may construe this as a feminist statement, some may view this as a statement of incomparability, some may find it insulting, some may view it as a gay rationalization or a truism. If I make another statement of only one word, "spaceship" how many visualizations can we muster among billions of variations, as many as there are individuals? If we, as Krisnamurti pointed out if we view ourselves as the species and the species is you individually as a holographic principle, then is there an aggregate consensus toward a visualization, does this bias or individuated conceptual form then appear in the sensate visual field according to the level of consensus of formulation toward it? Take the example of a human being and a potential observer in the application of subjectivity in relation to context. A person who is inclined toward engineering, would see this as a example of a mechanism. a person with a psychiatric background would examine this in terms of behavior,a naturalist in terms of environment. The Sufi take on the positioning of the observer in relation to conceptualizing and manifesting the results of same is the truth is colorless and tasteless liquid that takes on the color of it's container. If, in a laboratory environment of absolute neutrality, where such phenomenon are studied, does this represent the withdrawal of input into an interactive process and then being surprised the results are at best, mixed or at worst null, and then assuming there is no phenomenon present, is this counterintuitive?
Then there is the matter of interactive human "ghost images"....What is the observer's relationship to such a experience, what is the intent and motivation of the observer?
I have watched several "ghost hunters" plead for a manifestation with, "we just want to help you.."when it is patently obvious that this is far beyond their capability. Is this an ethical matter?I think so. The entertainment factor or the vicarious desire to make a flashlight go off is neither a valid rationalization for this behavior nor is it an experience the alleged "ghost hunters"would want to experience if the shoe was on the other foot. As William Greider observed; "If one benefits tangibly from the exploitation of others who are weak, is one morally implicated in their predicament? ....Our values are defined by what we will tolerate when it is done to others." In other words, if you determine ghosts exist as a critical assumption and precursor to hunting them,then where do your values apply when you insert yourself as an intermediary?

Context As A Determinant
Again what is missing is context, in both ghost and UFO experiences, as a tool to examine the reconciling manifestations that appear between the observer and the observed. What is indicative of the results of these encounters is another missing factor, which can be deduced from the state of the observer via their behavior, one of valuation.Why is this experience valued, or desired? What relationship is there between self value and the value of experience and the resultant claims made by those who profess them evangelically in the public square?
If the quantum experience is based on a wildly variating state of the observer, is this not the essence of subjectivity? If this is so, are we using an appropriate round peg to insert into a square hole by the misapplication of a non existent state of a constant.... objectivity? Why do we not explore the terms of subjectivity in relation to what is observed? Certainly, this aspect has been traditionally applied to discount, devalue, dare we say debunk the existence of these phenomenon as a form of reductionism, however, these may not be in opposition toward each other in a quantum context as a matter of defining these phenomenon is a enfolded and certainly at worst an entangled process. Even such a simple matter as instinct has enfolded characteristics as Gregory Bateson pointed out in this correspondence found in They Threw God Out Of The Garden: Letters from Gregory Bateson to Philip Wylie and Warren McCulloch, outlines an exploration of why and what we observe by an instinctual sense as applied to scientific methodology.

"The engineer’s question is: on which side of the fence do you want to place the complexity? Is normal life simple and pathology complex? Or vice versa? Now, we know from genetics that there are some cases in which a single gene determines a definite (?single) characteristic; and my namesake Gregor Mendel (my namesake is bigger than yours, Dr. Skinner) was lucky enough or cunning enough to happen on some of these. But, as genetic progresses, it becomes clearer and clearer that the characteristics of animals are determined by complex, interacting, overlapping and ‘redundant’ ( in the technical sense) constellations of genes. And this probably is progressively more so as we approach more ‘fundamental’ characteristics (the great homologies, symmetry, etc.).If this be true of physical characteristics, it is probably also true of behavioral-physiological characteristics, and it then becomes nonsense to ask the engineer’s question, above. The complexity is on both sides. And I do know this, that the older an automobile gets and the further it is from the engineer who designed it, the more complex it gets with multiple ‘pathologies’ and the more it takes on characteristics of a living thing - moods, caprice, etc. New cars are ‘it’ but an old car is ‘she’. So - I personally avoid the word instinct because it suggests to the reader a specific tag or gene or something which determines directly a specific ‘piece’ of behavior. There may be such tags for the dancing mice, but I doubt it for such constellations of behavior as are denoted by words like territory. Norbert Wiener once described ants as ‘cheap mass-produced articles,’ and it may be true that insects with their extremely economical circuitry are constructed on the engineer’s plan but even this I doubt. Consider the lilies of the field - they are not racked by separable purposes; and yet neither Darwin nor B. F. Skinner was ever arrayed like one of these.
The whole trouble (or a lot of it) results from the instinctive (innate) vulgarity of scientists, which is derived from the same ‘instinct’ as is the vulgarity of magic. (Even old Fraser knew that magic and science were somehow one.) The innate component of this vulgarity is relational. It is the relation between mind and consciousness - a relation of partial separation. You and I and Darwin and Skinner are all genotypically built upon a plan whereby that small selection from mind which appears upon the ‘screen’ of consciousness, is, for the most part, those bits and pieces which will inform our purposes. (The conscious/unconscious barrier is surely both an engineering necessity and genotypically determined. Whether the principles governing the selection of items for the screen of consciousness are also genotypically determined, I don’t know. There is surely some learning and habit formation in this business. That attention and the content of consciousness are linked must be laid down deep in the genome. But, no doubt, the directions of selective attention are part learned and part instinctive. There are always difficulties of this sort whenever we ask about components of an ‘instinct’.)"

In the next post perhaps it is this enfoldment as traditionally defined as quintessence, or the five folded nature of a conceptual model that would be useful in exploring further, the unknown.

"If we were to ask the brain how it would like to be treated, whether shaken at a random, irregular rate, or in a rhythmic, harmonious fashion, we can be sure that the brain, or for that matter the whole body, would prefer the latter. The implications of this holographic model are monumental. It implies that all the knowledge in the Universal Mind is available to anyone who can tune into it, because, as in all holograms, the information is totally distributed throughout the universe. Mystical aphorisms such as 'We are all one,' 'As above, so below,' 'God is within you,' and 'The universe in a grain of sand' take on a new meaning when seen in the light of the holographic model..."
-Itzhak Bentov

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead."
-Albert Einstein


Information as a coherent form of energy is arranged in the genetics of an alphabetic equation and throughout our lives, we are continually producing it from the lower energy sources we consume in the form of minerals, cellular life, crystals,vertebrate, air, water,chemical compounds and invertebrate matter.
Perhaps an interactive exercise we can undertake as an experimentation is to sit down with a watch which has a second hand, and then proceed to intentionally will your internal babbling dialog of continual associations to cease and desist..for how long can you do this? Does consciousness precede thought?
In other words, can you have self awareness without language as it may be possible that self awareness may be axiomatic if is defined by relationships which arise from an observer although they may have no expression. If this is so we should then reasonable consider that consciousness is more universal as a principle, than we currently recognize.

A Smart Dog, Make No Bones About It
The Washington Post June 12, 2004

"Clever border collie Rico can work out which toy is wanted, even though he has never heard the word before. Owners who claim their dogs understand what is being said and are trying to respond may be barking up the right tree, writes Rob Stein in Washington. Rico, a border collie with what appears to be an uncanny talent for human language, may be the Albert Einstein of dogs or just your average pooch. Either way, he has scientists wondering if man's best friend is smarter than they thought.
A series of studies concluded that the energetic German house dog has an extensive vocabulary and apparently can even do something scientists thought only humans could do - figure out by elimination that a sound he has never heard before must be the name of a toy he has never seen before.
That feat, described in yesterday's Science journal, suggests that dog owners who claim their pets understand what their masters are saying and are trying to respond may have been right all along.
"Maybe this is the Albert Einstein of dogs, or maybe this is something that other dogs can do, too," says Julia Fischer, a biologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, who helped test Rico. While many species can be trained to recognize objects' names, what makes Rico unique is that he recognizes so many words, can puzzle out the names of new objects on the first try and weeks later is surprisingly good at remembering what he learned, the researchers say.
The findings are the latest evidence that animals are capable of more complex communication than had been thought, and that dogs, in particular, are especially astute at comprehending their human companions. The findings are prompting some scientists to speculate that dogs might even be able to speak - like Mister Ed, the talking horse in the 1960s television show - if only they had the necessary anatomy.
"If Rico had a human vocal tract, one would presume that he should be able to say the names of the items as well, or at least try to do so," says Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, who studies animal communication and intelligence at Georgia State University."

What were your referential terms prior to language? Of course we say language is a description and not the object we are describing but does thought, this strange form of self organizing energy that we produce, is this the equivalent of a genetic code, or more specifically, is the biochemical energy of DNA a transitional carrier of this energy rather than it's source as to encode means to perform an operation that transform some information from one representational form to another. Something that is performing the act of encoding is, for example, an encrypter, or a compressor.? Is this axiomatic representation of biochemical energy placing the egg before the chicken, when it is neither one which has precedence rather both are an expression of a larger process? Does the genetic expression in biochemistry an existential mechanism that has no interrelationship to other forms of energy?

As the Holographic Principle is analogous to the hologram, in which the form of an object,in this case, information... is fully enfolded in every point on a two dimensional surface. If we imagine a sphere, we see three dimensions, and consequently the surface of the sphere has two dimensions. The third dimension is the radius of the sphere, which can be correlated inward from any given point on the surface of the sphere, to the central point in the sphere. The sphere has a two dimensional outer boundary The third dimension, according to the Holographic Principle, is represented holographically on the surface of the sphere The inside of this organic sphere, the volume or bulk of the sphere, can be imagined as having an energetic field, which corresponds to the matter and vibrations of energy within this sentient sphere and at this boundary is perhaps our temporal and cartographic position in a quantum relationship. So is the genetic expression a biological analogy of an energetic and holographic one that it is nested within?

My son and I were recently watching a reputable science program which presented a scenario of how early humans spoke, the inference in this demonstration was that someone was there to observe this which of course, is nonsense. It is an apt example of theory being overrun by critical assumptions that are based upon non observable data. This interestingly enough is selectively applied toward one's bias, in this matter as science often forgets it is entangled in this state of subjectivity as well as the rest of us. If there was a objectivity applied to experience we would be simply process as computer programs which already know are not sentient.


Perhaps "accident", an interval, an opening is a designed feature while mutational as a probability, it seems rather necessary doesn't it? Perhaps a car collision, a airliner disaster or an earthquake are a designed parameter that also provides the potentiality for an evolutionary adaptation in the interrelationships within a field to seek greater coherence rather than simply a contest of the fittest. I recently had an exchange of views with someone regarding the question, can thought be empirically quantified as in quanta as in quantum organics...and more specifically, is information itself a form of energy in a nested hierarchy or is energy.... information itself and then consequently do we decode it by rearranging it's already coherent potentiality? In other words,when we encrypt energy into a form by the billions, does this form then simply vanish or is it transferable as a form of an unrecognized genetic coherence back to the center of our holographic sphere? Is there a larger sentience that is composite that we are but constituent distinctions within and without it?

If so is there a form of Ashkaic text, a print out if you will of energy as differentiated by the production of thought individuated by observers as it being a referential carrier wave, if you will, of consciousness? In other words a product that is neither embodied or disembodied as it is both two sides of the same coin? This would certainly make for a more coherent model for "ghosting" of coherent behavior as well as perhaps another facet of genetics previously unrecognized. Shortly before his death in his last public appearance, Krishnamurti in very tangible terms, discussed the center of our position as a shared reality that is larger than the sum of it's components. for anyone interested in conceptual models of a holographic reality in quantum terms, this last talk should be an important adjunct to scientific investigations in the sense this, the human experience, is an apt model as well.. which conforms to these principles.



In Part Two, we will examine these possibilities in ghosts.
