Part Two: Embodied Quantum Paranormality


"The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen."
-Aldous Huxley

In the last post, I speculated in the context of energy and physicality in relation to their common ground, which is the field of information we both navigate and create when attempting to place the paranormal under any sort of measuring device whether it is a magnetic field or our sensate immersion within it. The intertwined nature of the measuring device and the measurement originates with a question. What the question is creates the answers in relation to our valuation of them. This valuation is a bias that is applied as a operating parameter in relation to the potentiality of both our questions and answers. What you look for may be more important than what you find.

Does human consciousness occupy a dual state similar to that exhibited by the paranormal? If so, does this indicate that the paranormal is actually an experiential reality that is enfolded into that of our own in ways that are just being examined?

What are we looking for by way of what is the question we are posing is a cybernetic issue that is enfolded into quantum principles. Norbert Wiener coined the term “cybernetics” around 1948 to denote the study of “teleological mechanisms” or, systems that embody goals So in this post, the paranormal as an non consensus, experiential reality which is both subject and object while really conforming to neither,leads into the issue of our organic and biological manifestation as a phenomenon that may be more reciprocally intertwined with the paranormal than we are conscious of.
This unconscious entanglement may and does produce some high strangeness in relation to our confounded and hopelessly inept logic when attempting to objectify it as an existential manifestation lacking an aim or goal, outside of our observation of it.

The main issue or problematic barricade in the study of the paranormal is ourselves in that we look at experiential para-normality as we look at many aspects of reality as if we were somehow in an imaginary realm where we had no relation to it in terms of the nature of consciousness itself in our current models of the causal mind.

In the midst of this confusion of inserting our models of a logical and linear causality based on axiomatic fallacies, we have the issue of time which we create as an observer of it, which is actually space. Spacial relations play a most definite role in the paranormal. We observe what the mind \body causality of logic tells us insistently are "dead" individuals as if time where not a factor as it is probably not, outside of our confusion in relation to experiencing space as a non linear and sensate phenomenon.


In the culture in which we share with others this compulsion of necessity to fractionate aspects of reality into pieces is very much related to the first paragraph of this post, when we look at ourselves as a duality of mind and body we get corresponding answers. However if we view these distinctions as arbitrary and pose our questions in terms of a holistic correspondence much like that of the paranormal to consciousness itself, increasingly science has applied quantum principles to our biology specifically, the mind and\or brain.

In attempting to fathom the operating principles found in the biology of this organ,we have been confined by our own critical assumptions that are founded on mechanistic principles that relate to a metaphorical description of the brain as a hard wired biochemical computer. However, science has begun exploring the possibility that the mind is more of a connective organ in relation to consciousness as a non local phenomenon, in a dual space, which then leads us to relate this possibility to the non local nature in the origin of the paranormal, which may mirror, in essence, our own state.

What is it in the brain that could create a isthmus or platform between energy as an information field and our own observation of it through biology as if consciousness has been grafted onto a observable planetary organism of nature from without and yet is embedded within it as a participatory observer?

These leads into the role of synapses in the network of neurons within the brain which organize a symmetry of information on a correlating basis with cybernetic translation of consciousness itself. In other words, a non objectified consciousness becomes objectified as a distinction, or, the illusion of itself as a object, when in fact the object is being observed in a high state of indifference outside of the parameters it occupies as referential information as to it's identity. The non local observes locality and attempts to define itself as a local phenomenon.

In this wiring of the mind\brain as a metaphor, there is an equal number of gaps or gates called synapses by which bytes of information crosses proverbial bridges or gaps though a potential which corresponds to the principle of a potential vectoring state in quantum physics which is prone to observer effects. These synapses mirror the aforementioned state of existence in a suspended potential of occupying more than one state simultaneously In other words, the synapses exhibit an opening or interval throughout it's energetic network which allows for an interface with another state of energy or field that may link consciousness as a non local phenomenon to a localized positioning in time-space though a biological adaptation within a nested hierarchy of reciprocal states in our brain\mind. This theoretical inference of non local consciousness occupying this dual state within the synapses is the focus of much speculation. Prior to the advent of these quantum theories Aldous Huxley was convinced that our natural state could be likened to that of an amphibian which occupies two environments of local and non local nature simultaneously.

The observer effect acts as a attenuating bias by way of the state of consciousness which steers it.The observer of quantum mechanics is a quantum system himself. The choice of which synapses will fire indicates within the constraints of self imposed parameters or the exercise of will, a process which eludes systemization. What you look for may be more important than what you find in that we are not biological machines but rather a process of discernment within a field of information.

In a larger sense the body may be a temporal host, a nexus rather than a source. The experiential ground which is linked to consciousness does not lend itself to being its origin or platform upon which it observes as in of itself it lacks coherence. This theory of an individual being an observer who is essentially outside of space-time that is embedded in a illusion of time is exponentially gaining the attention of theoretical physicists in varying formulations as related in the previous post by way of several potential models. High strangeness indeed.

If we apply quantum principles of consciousness to the paranormal, we see a intriguing correspondence to the duality we ascribe to the highly strange as being there\not there as a non local manifestation of energy which may bear a direct relationship to the same qualities of an intermediary state we perceive on a sensate basis, through our own biology, thus forming a linkage between the two as a participatory observer who is subjected and entangled within a similar state. While this may be a natural one, it is unnatural to our physical environment which we assume is immune in an existential manner to being related to us, as if we stood outside of it rather than reciprocally intertwined within it.

On top of this we are subjected to the illusion of time through our creation of it by the act of observation. We live in a house of mirrors by which we valuate and measure what is at best, a probabilistic reality.

Our perceptions do not match our sensate ability to accurately experience our environment and consequently over run them. This mismatch between what is or is not a object cannot be qualified on a sensory basis alone..... when the origin are the properties of an insensate consciousness as a energetic information field of which we are unaware and yet randomly co-create in an unconscious manner between subject and object, then this is not a process to be visually externalized except as an effect. Naturally, this leads to a causal paradox when we attempt to apply logic to intent, motivation or purpose to these semi material states, which then in turn, leads us to the conclusion like that of Scrooge who assured himself that these intermediate states are "a bit of undigested beef."


This process is not one we can examine as though it were the workings of a machine, and so when something as insensate as an energetic information field is experienced by subjection on a sensate basis we say it is non existent as an objective reality therefore it does not exist except by our perception of it. We are stuck on the bank that is a empirical illusion of solidity. The paradox is that we as observers ultimately do have the same state as the objects that we judge reality by qualifying them as empirical... when in fact, we cannot point to ourselves in any meaningful manner as if what or whom you as a individuated sentience could be visualized as a discrete object, we only experience the result rather than the source much like the paranormal itself as a shadow of something else.

This quantum linkage between the paranormal and the mind as well as the subsequent investigation of the anomalous within it may well be the missing key to de-constructing the organic nature of the paranormal as well as that of ourselves as it's observers who participate in the co-creation of these manifestations.

Bruce you have really covered a lot of ground when you consider the entire body of work. It's quite amazing.

I'm wondering if you are ready to make any conclusions.

You seem to have a pretty good grasp of all the data - I would like your own opinion on whether there is a purpose or reason for all this intangible materiality.

Thanks Bruce
Mark

Mark,
I think that human paradigms are on the cusp of a revolution from within... whether you view this from an evolutionary point of view or the fact that "religion" and "science" are two arms of an ethical and practical question, what are we? By knowing what we are infers a human purpose whether it is one we create, or one that existed all along and discover.... and in the end, it will probably and oddly be an unfoldment of both. We have been sent on a treasure hunt as an evolutionary quest to dig everywhere to find it by clues, by the efforts as well of those who proceeded us here, but all through the result of our own efforts. Nothing is "free" which is perhaps a clue as well....there is no entitlement in this for us, with the exception of life... this being a extraordinary opportunity which I am thankful for...from the smallest insect to the universe, what an extraordinary place...all this is...what is even more amazing is the potential of it all is which in sum is incomparable to anything I could describe to you.
I sense certain preliminary bits and pieces of this puzzle like you, and share your sense that part of the evolutionary process is this pushing at assumptions, creating new models...etc. We are all surveyors, cartographers and expeditionary members...again, I would be "dead" if I ever lost my sense of wonder in all this...these are my conclusions to you, such as they are.
Best Wishes
Bruce
