Part Two: The Third World


"The purely psychological interpretation only apprehends half of the matter. The other half is the revealing of the archetypal basis of the terms actually applied in modern physics. What the final method of observation must see in the production of "background physics" through the unconscious of modern man is a directing of objective toward a future description of nature that uniformly comprises physis and psyche, a form of description that at the moment we are experiencing only in a prescientific phase. To achieve such a uniform description of nature, it appears to be essential to have recourse to the archetypal background of the scientific terms and concepts..... What now is the answer to the question as to the bridge between the perception of the senses and the concepts, which is now reduced to the question as to the bridge between the outer perceptions and those inner image-like representations. It seems to me one has to postulate a cosmic order of nature — outside of our arbitrariness— to which the outer material objects are subjected as are the inner images... The organizing and regulating has to be posited beyond the differentiation of physical and psychical... - Wolfgang  Pauli


 In Part One, I shared some thoughts on;
1. How uncertainty creates social scripts that bury a situation with false narratives where a lack of information in relation to apparent chaos exists.
2. That perception alone is unreliable when formulating conceptual models.
3. That neither the inner world of personality nor the outer world of the environment have any viable construct in of themselves to determine the nature of experiential reality.
4. That the inner world and outer world are each hermetic, and have no basis other than being self referential.
5. That a third world may exist beyond the divisional realms of inner and outer experiential reality.
6. That the inference being that the observer is far from objective in any meaningful sense.

The inference is that the human brain\mind is far from autonomous. In fact I suspect that statement is in of itself, an under statement. Experiential reality appears to be a process between an inner and outer world that feeds a third world and vice-versa in a oblique manner to our animal senses. I have termed both the inner and outer orientation of the observer as "pseudo-spheres" that are an incomplete conceptual model of nature as well as our misconception of
our orientation in space time.

Over time, many writers on the paranormal have discovered that the nature of the observer has an equal footing with what is observed. Some call this sociology.  Others, psychology, etc. It is a strategy that in relation to determine the nature of anomalies, the link between the observer and the observed is a two sided stick. One side is centripetal, prone to social scripting, unpredictable and chaotic. The other side is on the ground, that is to say, would a UFO appear if there were no observer?

I have written here and elsewhere of the concept of a hive, very similar to that of Borge's Library, as a conceptual model for this relationship between the brain \ mind and the third world. The gathering of data from both worlds, inner and outer is the equivalence of the process of a hive that our senses occasionally glimpse in anomalies. This is far from an original idea. It originated in Babylon, and was a portion of a codex on the nature of "nectar" to describe various relationships that appear to be complex.

Simply put, it is difficult for us to imagine a process that was only created once, yet has no "controls" other than the geometry of it's relationships we call "the laws of nature."  It appears to be a living system of self organization that has many, many levels or tiers of  "memory", not in the human sense..

This third world communicates to our world in our terms, as to do otherwise, would be as if water could run uphill. Apply this to the 'UFO" situation. It has no sentience grounded in either an inner or outer orientation. Rather, it is a symbiosis of both that demonstrates naivete that is a clue to it's nature. It communicates in a truly "alien " language that appears to be a parody of  our own "reality." Consequently, our efforts to define this phenomenon as either representative of our inner terms or outer terms of each respective world fail miserably. Read any book on this subject and you find either a social script as defined above, or "science fictions". This is a new found land that requires a new orientation of all of our logics.

The distribution of what we term these "anomalies" appear to follow a conceptual model of a weather system, driven by a butterfly effect.

In the next post, I would like to share some thoughts on such a "weather system."

"This is a new found land that requires a new orientation of all of our logics." I could not agree more. Perhaps a logic without spatial inner and outer and lacking temporal now and then. Your illuminations are truly appreciated.

As a postscript, I would add that your intimations of a third world logic not only makes me think of an embrace of a tertium datur (a third possibility is given in which a proposition may be both true and false), but I am reminded as well of Ibn al-'Arabi's observation that not 1 but 3 is the first odd number, and that 3 or triplicity characterizes reality in general. Perhaps because substances/entities (including enigmatic aerial appearances) are not perduring realities.

Temporary realities then, no more or less real than another, only in different relationships with our own understanding of the position we inhabit in the space time equation as we perceive it to be. I guess that's a question, sort of.

Trying to keep a slippery subject understandable, simple, I would guess that this third reality is like the relationship between the physical brain and the mind. You take away one, the other does not exist. Between them we exist perhaps as a third. Another way to put it is the relationship between a mirror and the object it reflects. Take away one or the other, nothing. I am suggesting that a third world is required that is neither completely reflective or completely an object. Expanding this analogy between the physical and non physical words, inner and outer worlds if if you will, there may exist a world where both inner and outer worlds are in a state or states that appear to us from our own station, to be true and not true at once. However, we are contingently oriented in such a manner that such a world appears absurd when there is a rip in the fabric of what I call these pseudo spheres, where they coexist but cannot breach one another. You cannot imagine a tree and then a tree appears, for example. Or you cannot see thoughts. To me this is an interesting proposition.
