The ancient writings, long kept hidden by some communities, which were often unaware of their true origin, have given rise to many imaginative distortions or incomplete interpretations.

Take the principle of Mentalism, which states that: "The All is Mind; the Universe is Mental", or the principle of Correspondence, which recognizes that: "As above, so below; as below, so above".

=> For the being endowed with consciousness, there exists the opposition between subject and object. It is specifically thanks to this that it gives substance to various inaccessible Entities towards which it can direct its requests, its love, its worship, even its whole being. However, existence has no other purpose than to realize in itself the "totality", without distinction between object and subject. IT IS IN THE SUBJECTIVITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL THAT THE OBJECT EXISTS, AND NOWHERE ELSE. In the being both the origin and the purpose, the above and the below, are present. In it exists the totality of experiences, of all thoughts, of all emotions. All potentialities are present and its task is to achieve its objectivity in the subjective. The thinking individual is the focus where the whole universe converges.

Is this the definition of the All? Does the All not also include time by definition?

 

No, sir......... The term is, here too, devalued. Let us start from the concept of time. Observe and ask: what is the process of "thinking"? The illusion of the passage of time is a measurement made by the brain. The brain proceeds by COMPARING two diachronic events in order to deduce the temporal orientation. Comparison IS a temporal process. Understand that thought and time, in their psychic perception, are one and the same process. Time = thought = accumulation of knowledge = memory = basis of illusory identity. Think of states of complete retrograde amnesia: the individual no longer has any point of reference for identity, no history. The self must be completely rebuilt. In states of severe retrograde amnesia, the accumulation of new information no longer occurs, identity disintegrates, the arrow of time changes direction.

 

We know that, but what does it have to do with the all?

 

Wait, sir... Ask yourself about the possibility of an abolition of this psychic time in the healthy individual. Memory, the memories of our own history, are time, the "self" of this individual. What remains in the absence of this time? Take the logic beyond simple binary reflection and do not say "nothing", because "nothing" is also another name for "everything". Have you understood?

 

It is the principle of polarity: extremes meet.

 

Every thing is necessarily "limited", you would say "by essence", even if only symbolically circumscribed by language; otherwise one could not even speak of it. But then, are you in the presence of a "thing" if it has no limits?

The all contains everything in potential. It is another name for God.

But I do not agree with you, because for me it is clear that thought is not a "material" element.

 

Dear Daedalus, is it so because you make a distinction in terms of "degrees" of the Three Great Planes, between the Physical, the Mental and the Spiritual Plane?

 

Yes, there is a continuity. The division is arbitrary, you know that.

 

It is not so arbitrary, since there is a fundamental difference between material and mental!

 

It is an illusion. Grasp the idea. Thinking is to the brain what a wave is to the liquid. The wave is not the liquid, but the result of a material process within matter itself.

 

Agreed, but what about the "spiritual", "consciousness"?

By definition, we are at the opposite of the "material" here.

 

Do not go too fast, sir... Let us dwell on the term "consciousness". What does this term cover? "Consciousness" is not thought. "Consciousness" is a synonym of "vision".

Do you accept the idea that Matter can be Consciousness?

 

That would be to admit that my stool is conscious at this moment of supporting my royal backside, which seems doubtful to me, with all due respect:)

 

The "degree of consciousness" of your stool is greater than that of an isolated elementary corpuscle, but infinitely less than that of the protozoon evolving in the water of the vase in front of you, Sir...

 

Well spotted! :)

 

Could you develop the idea of "conscious matter", please?

 

Material and Spiritual are the different facets of one and the same piece.

There is a law of complexity directed from matter to living matter which you could call "orthogenesis". From the laborious assembly of the elementary bodies that form matter, to the marvellous development of the most basic nervous system, there is a discrete process of increase of Consciousness.

From the non-living protein mega-molecule to living protoplasm, there is a significant increase in "consciousness". The unicellular organism gains in VISION. It perceives its environment (salinity, temperature, acidity of the medium...), unlike the protein, which in itself is much more complex in its arrangement than the water molecule.....

 

But a cell is not conscious of itself.

 

Not of "itself", Sir.... "Of itself" means "reflection", that is, the capacity of a consciousness to fold back on itself. This is the attribute only of organisms resulting from a very slow evolution of nervous systems.

The brain develops and improves continuously over necessarily long periods of time. The phenomena of SOCIALIZATION are eminent testimonies of the degree of evolution of the different phyla.

On the surface -you would say at the "material" level- the nerve connections and the complex arrangement of the ganglia are totally correlated, in depth, with the degree of "consciousness", through a relation that can be described as mathematical.

 

The bigger the brain, the greater the intelligence, obviously.

 

The arrangement of the complex assembly of the nerve networks takes priority over quantity, but a sufficient quantity is an obligatory prerequisite. If the degree of material or physical perfection of the nervous system follows a progressive logic according to a slow evolutionary continuum, this is not the case for Consciousness, which follows a discrete logic, by qualitative, discontinuous leaps.

 

How is this dichotomy between the continuous and the discontinuous to be explained?

 

It is the result of a process of rupture correlative to a perpetual increase (first in quantity, then in quality). Like a liquid that suddenly boils, systems move very slowly away from a point of equilibrium, up to the rupture, which is nothing other than the manifestation of a completely new state (consciousness, reflection, free will...). A state that itself results from the material.

 

In what relation do you place consciousness and free will? For me, animals are free, although Jean-Jacques Rousseau gives a fine demonstration of the contrary on this subject (the story of the pigeon and the dish of meat). It is enough to look at primates or marine mammals to realize that they are conscious (even of themselves; see the experiment of the "red spot" and the mirror).

 

Sir......., as explained above, the increase in the capacity of consciousness is nothing but an increase of VISION.

Man is thus freer than the dolphin, but his degree of freedom remains particularly limited.

In fact, he does not perceive that most of his actions are the result of the pressure of various conditionings that dictate his attitudes and behaviour. He does NOT see all the influence that his prejudices, ideals, and social, religious, political or cultural conditionings have on him. In this way many internal conflicts are fed, which cause intense suffering and a completely unbalanced society.

To raise one's level of consciousness is to see; to see is to understand; and to understand is to be free to act in full knowledge of the facts.

Now, once again, ask yourselves: if seeing frees you from the deterministic grip of matter; if consciousness and free will transcend the material, then what lies beyond?

No, sir........, the fractals introduced by Benoît Mandelbrot are more than that. They play an important role as generalized functions for describing certain dynamical systems.

In particular, you asked a question about the nature of what you call "synchronicities".

In classical mechanics there are systems called "unstable". These systems, well known to physicists, are strictly deterministic, but extremely sensitive to initial conditions. The more complex the system, the more sensitive it is to initial conditions and the less likely it is to determine its trajectory, which then becomes similar to that of random behaviour. However, one could say that with INFINITE knowledge of those conditions one could predict this trajectory, which is true, and which fits a definition of the Divine. One would then say that God is "able" to predict the future, since He knows the state of the original world with infinite precision (which is true, in a way).

HOWEVER, there is an even stronger form of instability, such that trajectories and behaviours are unpredictable, WHATEVER THE PRECISION OF THE INITIAL CONDITIONS. This type of instability is of great importance; it applies to both classical and quantum mechanics.

Physicists have known it well since the work of the eminent mathematician Henri Poincaré and his study of "non-integrable dynamical systems". Non-integrability explains why the world is not isomorphic to a set of bodies without interactions, without temporal orientation (entropy), which would not allow the development of self-organized complexes and, consequently, of life.

See why: an unstable and integrable dynamical system is, in reality, an extremely rare entity. Indeed, it is essential to take into account the existence of RESONANCES BETWEEN THE DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF THE SYSTEM. This is a fundamental element.

Indeed, at the statistical level, resonances lead to the cancellation of determinism; they introduce uncertainty, free will, and explain the existence of an arrow of time.

The concept of resonance characterizes a relation between FREQUENCIES. Resonance occurs particularly when two frequencies correspond to a simple numerical ratio where one of the frequencies is equal to an integer multiple of the other. Resonances lead to a coupling between events (think of the coupling between two sounds). The phenomenon is well known to musicians, with harmonics.

Synchronicity is nothing but a singular form of coupling.

 

Interesting. Here we have arrived at the Principle of Vibration.

.....because the complete LIFE of the individual is an unstable dynamical system. Every event of life is a break of equilibrium. The instability of the system offers a series of changes tending towards an incalculable number, reflecting an infinite complexity which can be imagined as a vast network of bifurcations whose nodes embody the presence of various events. Imagine then a representation of all the changes in the states of an individual throughout his life. Suppose you draw a branch each time a new event occurs that causes the individual to change to a new state of equilibrium. For example, a person who has worked for 40 years in the same company (stable state) may one day be dismissed (occurrence) and change jobs (new state). Or you can imagine someone contemplating a landscape and then suddenly stopping their activity because of rainfall. Or a person who is speaking when another person brutally cuts them off, etc.

Understand that you meet these bifurcations at all levels, that is, on different time scales. The state of instability is found on the scale of a whole life (employment, family life, physical health, etc.) but also on a very small scale (the need to eat, the meeting between two friends, a grain of dust brushing the cornea, etc.). Finally, you will be able to observe changes in states that lead to other changes in states, like the cascades of bifurcations observed in the schemes of stochastic systems, which interlock with one another. These are schemes that embody a fabulous complexity through a fractal structure.

 

Now imagine the fantastic scene in which an imaginary character could, at the end of his life, turn around and contemplate the long and infinitely winding path he would have taken through these countless bifurcations (that is, with a "time" vector orthogonal to the physical axis). This tortuous imaginary path is another representation of the decisions taken by the individual throughout his whole life. This path materializes each choice and each change of the thinking being. Of course, while walking this path, the real individual is unable to predict exactly the route he will take at the next moment (unpredictability); however, if he climbs higher, this imaginary character can contemplate the route followed and understand how he got there (causality). You can likewise conjecture that the route chosen could have been totally different depending on the variation of the contingencies (sensitivity to initial conditions).

 

However, the infinitely complex "system" in which the individual evolves remains deterministic. It is based on mechanical causes, efficient causes. However, you may object that the personal motivations of a thinking being do not all have their origin in this type of cause, despite the unimaginable pressures of his various conditionings. In fact, the sphere you would call the CONSCIOUS Sphere of the individual shows that the motivation of the human being also obeys a PURPOSE.

Each time an individual is faced with a choice of which he is CONSCIOUS -that is, which he SEES-, this leads him to adopt a possible option that will reflect his free will. Thus, in this tortuous diagram of bifurcations, you see that it is the consciousness of the subject, his freedom of choice, that allows him to "navigate" through this chaotic labyrinth. Given that the perception-consciousness relation is particularly limited in its present state, you will understand that more than 80% of this winding life trajectory does not really depend, in reality, on his free will.

...the singularity of the Big Bang?

 

Time is eternal.

You have an age, a civilization has an age, the Universe has an age, but time has neither beginning nor end.

The "flow of time" is associated with "irreversible" processes. You would say that an entropic clock, which records the production of entropy, is different from a mechanical clock.

You were talking about the "twin paradox". A change in the gravitational effect can perfectly well modify the resonances. For example, if you send two twins into space and, before returning to Earth, only one of them crosses a gravitational field, you will observe different ages when they return. The "flow of time" is not unique, but the direction of time is invariable.

You can see, and only see, the past, but not the future. The "self" you were talking about is in reality here a "relativistic observer" who depends on the very system in which he evolves.

To understand it, you can rely on very simple representations, such as the space-time diagram of the theorist Hermann Minkowski.

The Universe is not crossed by light, it IS light. In this sense, the so-called "speed" limit is nothing but the expression of an intrinsic geometric constraint.

In the representation of this diagram, an observer at the origin of the "light cone" can only PERCEIVE what is below this speed limit (that is, what is inside the cone). Outside the cone, the speeds would be "higher", so these regions are "excluded" (geometric impossibility).

The limit speed, as its name indicates, imposes a limit which explains that the effects of SIMULTANEOUS but distant events, located at points far from this observer, will only give effects that he will perceive "later", even if these effects propagate at the speed of light.

In this configuration, a relativistic self has, by definition, only a finite window on the outside world.

 

Would an individual with absolute freedom of choice have the capacity to increase his "field of vision" to the point of having premonitory faculties? A kind of transcendence of the small limited self?

 

Not exactly. Bear in mind, however, that such entelechies are possible.

Do not confuse a physical description with a psychological description.

 

Would he be free from every form of neurosis?

 

Yes; these are the result, for the most part, of a lack of exhaustive perception of the root of internal conflicts and of a dissonance with reality.

The signs of inherent suffering are similar to those storms or hurricanes sustained by strong headwinds.

As with Jupiter's astonishing red spot, the winds prevailing above and below the vortex move in opposite directions and maintain its structure like a marble being rolled between your hands.

What is not seen, not understood, and rejected from oneself, inevitably returns transformed into pain.

The idea developed by Miss....... on the growth of a "Collective Consciousness" is correct. But it is not correct to want to suppress the "ego" or the individual singularity of men. I have been misunderstood.

In fact, there is an acceleration towards a point of CONVERGENCE, through a process of coiling and unstable equilibrium.

At the numerical level, an overpopulated humanity concentrates its survival activity on projects of migration to new stars in order to continue its expansion (new equilibrium). It is the externalization of a "physical" expansion.

At the individual level, the natural evolution of humanity leads to the inexorable emergence of an ever greater Consciousness, that is, a folding inwards, towards a growth of vision and a super-centring on oneself. One can then visualize the image of this Centre generating the contraction of each pole and "attracting" all the other centres, taking part in the emergence of a collective HIGHER FOCUS of hyper-reflection. Consider then how inappropriate the idea of a frank opposition between individuality and society is. You can guess that here it is no longer a matter of externalization, but of psychic internalization.

Finally, and some of you already guess the consequence of this reflection, what happens at the "cosmic" level if all Humanities reach as many centres of hyper-consciousness?

Here is the answer: Whereas the origin of the physical world starts from a primordial singular point, its "end", its "purpose", takes the form of a dizzying supra-Conscious TERMINAL FOCUS.
