Gregory Sams On Chaos Theory, Consciousness and The Sun
While organizing and writing the last several posts, I experienced a parallel series of ruminations that were reflected as a secondary theme in the subject of those posts, which began with listening to Jacques Vallee's exposition of the relationship between information and perception, which is that the whole of an infinite amount of realities, was akin to a self organizing data base.This theme played in the background of my thoughts that continued while writing more on the anomalies of neurology and psychiatry in relation to CE events..
This subject of the relationship between perception and information then superimposed itself on another subject I had written about ( again, as a secondary theme), although the connection didn't appear to me immediately, which is the relationship between energy and information as well as another theme, self organizing systems.Then I recalled this in my associations, the Colonel's haunting soliloquy from Orson Welles masterwork, "The Magnificent Ambersons" ..regarding the sun, death and life.
The Egyptian cross, the Ankh held by Atum, the sun-god of Heliopolis which was modified by the Christian movement, also came to mind, with the sun as it's centerpiece, which was later removed.. The Colonel in a dark room, his face illuminated by the flickering light of a fire akin to the heat of the sun, ruminates on his fate and his own mortality which is drawing to a close.The everyday practicalities of life fade into distant voices that have no place in his looming destination. Time itself became unwound.

This evening I was catching up to another talk by listening to Graham Hancock's theoretical narrative on 10, 500 BC and the rebooting of civilization which remarkably and uncannily follows G.I Gurdjieff's views "to a t". After listening I looked over at the sidebar at the list of other videos, and not being particularly drawn to the one I have posted below, the subject matter became very synchronized to the themes of information and energy once I began listening. P.D Ouspensky came to mind in his comment that an advanced civilization might appear primitive to us.I thought others might also enjoy listening to Gregory Sams interesting take on these subjects.

Thanks for the posting the Sam's video, Bruce... it struck a pleasant chord.
It is technically the 28th, but best wishes on your birthday...
May the sun shine within.

So, maybe self organization is a component of time, and can be shared, or imposed, if sentience is some composition. Now, if you remove time, and sentience, you have primal space. Now, if this planet keeps crossing some plasma threshold, and keeping certain forms for the rest of the story, then that can look like almost blowing up, and retreating into a possible state that is womb-like, and repeating forms that become self organized, but time is not needed as a regular, cyclic ingredient for the understanding of the thing itself. It is not an end in itself, and it is subject to more basic laws than is usually supposed. That may be why it (time) never keeps to any rules laid down, and why that is not popular.

This is going to sound bizarre, but I suspect that no design may be a design. Perhaps it's only set in motion once. There is some computer simulation (which I cannot recall the name of) that did just that and that was several years ago..do you remember the name of this AI experiment?

Some fun games..
