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.

As usual, I enjoy your essays. There are some spelling and grammar errors, but this is all very high thinking and I always look for your writings. Greetings from France.

Very interesting essay. This isn't the first I've heard about possible links between autism and the paranormal...

By the way, Data and Troy are characters in Next Generation, not Voyager :)
