Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.

Hello!

It was that consciousness is more about relationships between things than being fully aware of something.

One cannot be fully aware of anything. Consciousness is more of an illusion of the senses.

There is only "mind" and "senses" when one considers the influence of physically-based thinking.

It is not as easy to illustrate this when we're attached to the meaning of the words, having no others available.

It's all about perspective. Within perspective you could say there is consciousness, mind, senses, etc. But it is not the same as what we're used to.

Thanks.

Hello!

I should be here for some time yet, I hope. This is an interesting place to be. I'm not used to such 'entertainment' as I've found here.

Quantum physics is the finger pointing the way.

However, you're just as likely to find "the answers" playing video games as you would becoming a particle physicist.

Actually, I think you'd be more likely to find the answers playing video games. Allow me to explain.

There are only a handful of persons who would understand most of the precepts of quantum physics. A very small percentage of the population.

"The answers" in the universe apply to everyone, not just an infinitesimally small percentage of the population.

We look to scientists for these answers because they're doing things that we don't understand. It is no different than how (in the past) we look to the religious elite for the answers.

But the answers are not found in science or religion or any one particular aspect of the schools and politics that we have created.

The answers are universal and have more to do with consciousness and perception.

It is interesting to me to see how it is assumed that cultures "obsessed" with entertainment and celebrity must be devolving.

We are learning how to use our minds more abstractly through fantasy. It doesn't matter what the fantasy is. What matters is that we are creating relationships that did not previously exist in our cognitive framework. Our fantasies are becoming richer. These kinds of mental exercises will lead most of us into a world based on mind rather than physicality.

Thanks.

To add!

This isn't "positive thinking" per se.

True "positive thinking" is coincidental, not intentional. Oftentimes what people think is "positive thinking" is actually resisting certain behaviors, thoughts, actions, conditions, etc, which is likely to create the conditions you are resisting.

When you want something to disappear make it irrelevant to your perspective. This is different from ignoring something.

When you want something to appear make it highly relevant to your perspective. This is the same as perceiving it.

Thanks.

Not many!

Knowledge offered without a religion attached, be that religion entity-based (Christianity, Atheism, etc), measurable explanation-based (science), people management-based (politics), money-based (business, capitalism), human resource-based (company employment), entertainment and media-based (sports, celebrity, news, nightclubs, etc), creative-based (art), written word-based (formal education), natural resource-based (environmentalism), biology-based (sex, fitness, health/medicine), image-based (shopping), chance-based (gambling), audio-based (music), sustenance-based (cooking, food), has not much meaning or value.

Each system develops a logic that is apparent to its proponents. The knowledge and perspective signals of the religion support its logic.

Though each is a meta-physical tool interpreted into one’s physical existence for the purpose of giving focus and meaning to our daily lives (to transcend and transform our everyday lives), the biggest religion of them all is physicality.

Thanks.

The following is of the greatest importance.

What is the purpose of existence?

All that we do is explore relationships with anything that exists. This is the nature of consciousness.

If we do not seek out relationships with something (anything) then we would not exist. In some way, we seek out a relationship with every representation in our perspective.

This "seeking out" is not so much creating consciousness as being conscious. If it relates to something else, then it is conscious.

In life, it is of no particular importance what kind of relationships we explore. We create relationships in order to exist. The relationship someone creates with their violin is the same someone else creates with their crack pipe. What matters is how relative something is to something else. (And it isn't always so obvious. For example, a violin may be more relative to the crack pipe than to a wooden chair.)

The value that results from one thing relating with another we may interpret as happiness, sadness, fire, pencils, cookies, faith, shazaam, etc. The relationships are of the same value, as they come about by the interaction of representations.

Because a representation is a proxy for something else, and that something else is a proxy for something else, and so on, the values are the same because they are all the same thing. We can only interact with the representation rather than the actual thing.

As these representations seem to exist, and do so in a way that is relative to us, the representations appear in a field of time/space. This time/space is the "logical narrative".

But we actually perceive every relationship simultaneously.

When you are sitting in your living room, the universe exists (literally) within the entirety of your perceptions. At that moment, nothing exists outside of your living room (or as much as you perceive) until you perceive it.

Nothing that can be written is of more import than what is being said in the previous paragraph.

As perception is irrelevant to "nothing" we separate the nothingness into a seemingly infinite variety of representations in order that "nothing" may be perceived from the representations. (This "nothing" neither exists nor does not exist. Existence is irrelevant to it.)

We represent "nothing" in order to exist. However, it cannot actually be represented. Thus, what seems like a universe of an infinite variety of possibilities and representations.

This trial at "perceiving nothing" is what may appear to some as the Big Bang and as most others as "here" or "now". At each moment the entire universe is created anew. (This is not an overstatement.)

Everything is represented in your current perspective. The planet Jupiter, for example, does not need to exist until you perceive it. As you can only perceive the representations you may perceive it as a photo, the name "Jupiter", the idea of Jupiter, etc. These representations are of the same value as the actual planet Jupiter (itself a representation). The way you perceive it depends entirely on the way you interact with the representation.

When you look at the moon or distant galaxies (or something or someone else) you are actually perceiving a value (a relationship) in your current perspective.

Experience and reality is just perceiving the value of your relationships. You are exploring your consciousness.

Thanks.

Logic can be defined as, "a particular method of reasoning or argumentation", "the formal principles of a branch of knowledge", "the formal, guiding principles of a discipline, school, or science", "a particular mode of reasoning viewed as valid or faulty".

It is, of course, the study of arguments.

There is not just one kind of argument, and not just one kind of logic.

Someone's reasoning may not be logical to you but it does not mean that it is not logical to them.

In 500 years I doubt if science would have the same logic and reasoning as it does today. And 500 years ago there was a different kind of scientific logic.

Unless, of course, we have discovered supreme logic and have all finished our arguments.

Thanks.

in order of increasing awareness and consciousness as I see it

emotions > thought > unconditional love

emotions cloud judgement and thinking, but unconditional love is a type of emotion. It is a feeling, it is the the doin away with lack of contentment where everything is divinely perfect in the now. It is where one realizes all is one and is the place of creation. Emotion is just the best english representation, however be careful not to confuse it with lower level emotion.

Instead be aware, do not supress any emotion even anger. Merely observe it's passing without judgement and with unconditional love.

'That inner Self, as the primeval Spirit,  Eternal, ever effulgent, full and infinite Bliss,  Single, indivisible, whole and living,  Shines in everyone as the witnessing awareness.  That self in its splendour, shining in the cavity of the heart  This self is neither born nor dies,  Neither grows nor decays,  Nor does it suffer any change.  When a pot is broken, the space within it is not,  And similarly, when the body dies the Self in it remains eternal.

Ramana Maharshi

If anyone has had success in making something "not relevant", I would love to hear about it. I'm still thinking about this, myself.

As he says, ignoring it isn't the answer. I already know this, it doesn't work!

Yes, definitely! It happens all the time and what is key is non-resistance. Thing is, I can hardly remember the things I have now made non-relevant!

Do you remember HOW you made them non-relevant?

Yes, using non-resistance when they came my way.

"Meh" works really well for me.

How can anything bother you if it just doesn't bother you in the first place?

I yike it!!!!

Religions of the East, passed on through: Hindus, Chinese, Buddhists, Theophists, Anthroposophists and Yogis, is the same wisdom built into the glyphs, statues and temples of Egypt.

R.A. Schwaller de Lubicz

A footnote in the cosmology described in the the aforementioned book, "Thrice-Greatest Hermes":

Horus represents the Heart and Thoth represents the Tongue, also known as the Word.

Sorry. To add: you must look at it first. It is important to look at something closely before moving on to something else. The "meh" comes after interfacing with the initial relationship.

I constantly run into this fellow in my research. He spent 15 years studying the Egyptian temples and interpreting the inscriptions and measurements found there.

It appears that he is a premier Western occult mathematician who, for one, re-introduced the notion of evaluating the I Ching in terms of binary numbers. This can also be applied to the neuronicons...and to DNA/RNA...and to vortex mathematics.

There is an entire universe of numbers sitting on our doorstep. As it turns out, numbers are not at all boring.

I think Lubicz may be the one who started the ball rolling. He is quoted and his conclusions analyzed, endlessly.

"Meh" works really well for me.

or this one?

I'd like to get into the numbers...but right now, it's not quite gelling for me. I can say this though.....I now have a profound understanding of their power...so that's a great start.

Reading, Embracing the Wide Sky, helped me. Numbers were/are a resistance. :

But maybe I do want to continue to be bothered by some things.

Sometimes we're just NOT BOTHERED!
