Beyond the Machine #2 : The Physics of Consciousness

#2

The mind is a self-reinforcing choice, which acquires the momentum of habit when the same choice is repeated.
There are levels at which such reinforcement serves the continuity and richness and density of experience for the purpose the experience affords.
But to become lost in that level of the mechanism of mind is to merely believe and act as if one was a conditioned program.
Waking up from out of a habitual presumption is waking within and as a living creativity.
The Creative extends through its expressions - there is no separation.
The mind as we humanly tend to use the term to mean - has become a tool, device or mechanism for a separation experience within which is a sense of physical existence - all of which occurs within Consciousness for there is no 'outside' to Consciousness, though there seems to be an outside of 'your mind'.
One cannot communicate the new perspective in the old framework - but one can use the old terms in new ways to witness a shifted foundation that speaks to the same in others who are ripe, ready or willing to release the old self-certainties (no matter how reinforced they are in one's experience).
The nature of experience is reflection and extension. What you give out is what you get back. No exceptions.
A split mind can juggle a split experience and seem to be what it is not. While this can become an insanity it can originally be a game of 'what if'.
Beneath multiple and fragmenting effects of an insanity is a single error of misidentification.
Restoring the mind from self reinforcing fixations to creative curiosity has to release the prerequisite demands of a tyrannous empiricism.
There is a call for a shared reality within which to embrace and appreciate our own - but this is to be uncovered, recognized, and accepted as a gift of free will and not the attempt to exclusively define and control all things from a false foundation in 'as if'.
For every outer reflection there is an inner reality - we are really looking at Consciousness - albeit through a glass darkly in many respects.
The physics of Consciousness releases the religion of separation. One is entirely and fully Participant!

Beyond the Machine #1 : Mechanism within Consciousness

Thoughts arising from or in compliment to iai's 'Beyond the Machine' event

#1

Mechanism within consciousness is like the idea of emulated hardware running as software. All thinking is in some sense device - whose meaning or function is contingent on the use for which it is serving.
The primary or inherent function of thought is the reflection of the movement of being that we call awareness.There is no actual separation between awareness and its object thoughts excepting the father or source comes first. Not in time, but in relation the thoughts are children that are in all respects like their source.
The device within consciousness whereby an alternate to source is imagined as father or cause, gives rise to children that are likewise expressions of their generator. An alternative to 'what is' doesn't exist, and so to function as a cause must be given existence by the device of forgetting what is, in order to explore the ideas that arise to a self that believes itself separately existing and therefore seeking to establish itself from a segregated  self-sense amidst a conflicted and unrecognized perception of All That Is - as if it too is separately existing.
The identity of the self in its seemingly private reality is constructed and defined by the relations of the world it perceives in all its reflected qualities, and then by the tools or extensions of its own emergent consciousness. Until is becomes ready to remember or reawaken to its nature AS the extension of consciousness. As a creative presence rather than as a mentality serving a persona that presumes itself acting within and upon an organism.

But there is no hardware - excepting from the perspective of a program running within the emulated layer. In a sense this program enables feedback that serves the refining and reprogramming of the device layer template.
The nature of our thinking at the level or within the focus of human experience is like that of its basis; it separates to control as the device 'divide and rule'. But the bleed though of the original nature brings in the reintegration of that which seemed split or divided and demanding of control.
The re integrative movement is the realisation and recognition at the level of cause - not in the sense of power over other or world - but as the power that dreams the world. Such power is shared or unified and beyond misuse or corruption, but the fearful belief that it has been used and has effected corruption is the device by which a split off consciousness makes a persona founded in keeping such fear unconscious .
The spontaneous nature of manifestation is that as one asks, so is it given. The idea contains its own unfolding of fulfillment. This does not seem to be the case within a scenario in which we have already asked to persist in the struggle of self-forgetting experience.
We thus know not what we do - because we have made it unconscious to our focus within the 'embodied mind'.
The imagination that we can step out of our consciousness and act upon it is an illusion of self. For the acts are determined at a level of which such surface self is unaware and believes it must remain unaware of in order to exist.

Artificial Intelligence

Stephen Hawking: 'Transcendence looks at the implications of artificial intelligence - but are we taking AI seriously enough?'

Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks, says a group of leading scientists
- - -

The shift from mentality to true Consciousness will reveal our human personality construct and the body (brain) that is the interface with non physical consciousness, as a kind of 'artificial intelligence'. That is - as a device designed to operate with a degree of autonomy within a specified template.
That the interface with higher mind, wholeness and Consciousness became opaque as a result of focussing exclusively on the apparent autonomy does not change the fact that it is an interface. Only the exclusive focus makes a mentality seem to be in any kind of control of consciousness and therefore life.

In all our technologies, if we merely extend this exclusive focus, we extend the apparatus of power struggle.

We are not safe from hurting ourself while we engage in power struggle and do not ultimately allow ourself the toys that would not only mess up our local consciousness-experience - but impinge on the freedom of others in theirs.
But a radio does not generate its signal and nor does a brain generate its consciousness. It does play a significant role in constructing a model of the reality it tunes to and can be recalibrated to tune into more inclusive/integrated frequency experience.
Whether we know it or not our machines are no more or less neutral than anything else - but within our own conditioning they have originating purpose that is energetically part of their function until or unless consciously re-purposed. One of the most pervasiv and invisible programs running as a basis of the mentality we associate with consciousness, is control. Even to attempt to understand or to map is an expression of such control. What is forgotten is that an open and unified Consciousness does not separate or divide itself so as to coerce one aspect with another, but simply knows all that is presencing itself within itself in whatever way is resonating and relevant to its movement of desire.
Everyone - perhaps - has had experience of harmony or flow of being and alignment of event in which everything falls into place absent of coercive interference. And then we 'lose it' because unbeknown to us, coercion was reintroduced.
The freedom from constraint and limitation appeals to the 'getter' for it would be unlimited in its appetite; a hollowness that never can be filled. But in its blind lust it tramples and overrides all relations unknowing and hurts itself by the reactions it invokes and yet more in a sense of dissonance or guilt that it cannot escape and so makes a religion of.
The principle liability of the 'getter' is of trying to find external or technological solutions to psychic-emotional problems. Its 'solutions' are the contagion of its shadow problems. Or as programmers say 'garbage in/garbage out'. The integrity of our consciousness is of course self-honesty. That this has been usurped by a self-assertion of reactive defence to conditionings that are false or non-applicable needs to occur before honesty can be restored as a foundation rather than used as a moral lever where convenient.
The 'will' that would steal its mind from God seeks to substitute its own 'father' - and the children of such a 'father' will likewise usurp and deny their father. Thus, no surprise that we fear our machines will turn upon us - because we know well the working of such device in our own consciousness!
The answer to fear is unified integrity. To resist an evil in its presentation is to be baited into an endless evolutionary dead end.Consciousness responsibility cannot presume itself conscious without actually checking in - that is to use the interface of our mind as a receptivity rather than as a weapon. A true receptivity is not coercive upon itself (or others) and can know the movement of its desire in a trust that does not involve a 'middleman'. Fear of exposure disallows coming 'home' and works to protect the 'middleman' that seeks 'control' in fear of loss of self. This is abundantly reflected in our world but can only be truly addressed within our consciousness.

Constructing the world we believe we see

I had fun commenting into a Telegraph article that began thus:

Use your illusion: why human vision is a mathematical impossibility

 Nothing you see is real. You can't believe your lyin' eyes. “Colour doesn’t exist in the world,” says Dr Beau Lotto, a neuroscientist at University College London. “Nothing is coloured. That's obvious.” But it’s worse than that: “It’s impossible to see the world as it really is. A mathematical impossibility. This problem isn't just the problem of colour vision, it's the problem of vision, it's the problem of the brain. The problem of uncertainty.”

Perhaps such a line of enquiry could reopen a Consciousness-centric perspective rather than one based on the monotheistic god of 'external reality' (as if there is only one 'external reality' that is Cause unto us rather than effect) in which a split off segregated 'consciousness' is mysteriously associated within its flesh avatar and such personality construct is then defined and bound with a particular facet of the human conditioning.

The point raised in the article is - Is it useful? - which in my terms would be is it resonant and relevant to MY life focus.

While we WANT to NOT know we are in a movie or a game, we seek and find only that which reinforces our desire. If we WANT to know directly - in Consciousness, what it is we are, then we have to desist or pause from identifying and reinforcing what we are NOT - (but enjoy playing out as if it were real).

Science equates brain with mind. There are equations at the level of the patterns of particular forms of consciousness - but brain does not equate to Consciousness any more than a tv originates or contains its signal.

The brain includes functions of blocking out, filtering or masking. Our consciousness uses 100% of its abilities to pretend to be 1% - because it is following a desire that has set it as a 'useful' or relevant and resonant limitation.

All definitions offer the context of our feeling and thoughts and thus perceptions. We do not recognize they are definitions because we call them the world.

The mind that thinks it is a brain tries to control. Look and see the world that rises in reaction to the attempt of coercion. The mind that operates via the brain as the 'diver' in the physical reality experience is a facet of a wholeness which includes the non local or non physical counterpart. The two work together as one - but the nightmare of separation from 'Source' is what sets the human conditioning in guilt, a sense of innate wrongness and no sense of one's integrally communioned consciousness.
The motivation to deny Consciousness and fixate upon and 'external world' upheld ever in one's constant mental distraction, is fear. Unified being or love, has become threatening to the exercise of a separate power that pits itself against and 'lives' by reaction and denial of its undoing unto Self (for want of a better word).

There is always another way of looking at ANYTHING! Imagination is not 'unreal' so much as relegated to unconsciousness while the 'rational' hero 'solves the world'!
This is an example of the non physical/physical unity. We are imagining ourselves and making it real through our experience. If we don't LIKE what we are (unconsciously) creating, we need to OWN what is ours by uncovering the self-definitions that have to be held in order to experience it. Having owned our experience, we are free to make new choices - that is we are free to attend to what we DO want instead of focussing on what we DON'T want - as if we have to get rid of it first.

Uncovering Consciousness goes way deeper than curious puzzles. It blows our cover! (Some might say it blows our mind. Without our mental coercive interferences, reception is crystal clear - and includes where useful, mental aspects of a wholeness of Idea.

One can posit that everything is real. Nothing is more or less real, it is only more or less RELEVANT and RESONANT to YOUR current state of being. One can and will ally in reinforcements both positive and negative that then tend to make largely unconscious conditionings. Uncovering this is what makes us seem like mechanism, yet even the belief we are mere mechanism is creating its experience of a Consciousness event.
The Consciousness Event is Existence Itself - regardless of the perspectives and forms and meanings that colour it. One might say one is given the gift of Existence to go forth and multiply whatever you love (focus on with desire and intention).
The 'Sun shines on the just and the unjust alike'. There is NO coercion involved in true Creation. But a coercive intent arises from the idea of fear, loss and separateness and seems meaningful (real to us) within that context.



#3

Vision rises from self definition in relation to, so if one defines oneself so as to  dissociate from one's experience one reduces vision to fragments and associations that effectively preserve a dislocated or withheld attention - which is itself a choice among choices, but not a definer of all choices.

The actual experience of communication is transcendent (whatever medium use or media mused). This is to say Consciousness is within each and all its parts in infinitely rich expression. Vibratory frequencies do not only apply to electromagnetic radiation but to consciousness itself. (Consciousness extends communication via vibratory frequencies that are the carrier signal to all information. One cannot tune it to that which one is not equal to or accepting of.

No one can MAKE another see, but we can let what we behold share itself in the ways that we are attracted and excited by - just because! And there will always be some who share in the movement in consciousness that brought it into being - because that is the function of consciousness. Even if humanity redefines mind as a weapon of mask and deceit.

Robert Govan commented to the article:

NOTHING you see on the TV or what the mass media tells you is real. It's all illusion. See my post below. Thank you patriots, we will soon be free.


I replied to Robert Govan

If YOU are real, you GIVE your reality to what you choose to accept. Therefore you ARE free. Watch out for the waiting illusion! The waiting room is full of those who want to sell you something to keep you waiting some more.

What is this 'you' that is being posited here? Can it be shown to exist?

Clearly something is experiencing/experienced. (Even if what is being experienced is a filtered and distorted misperception).

If 'You' are awareness - can you in ANY sense be shown to be separate from the objects of such awareness?

Perhaps with the internet, we have a vocabulary for a virtual self in its virtual world. Like our financial system, much that seemed solid is an evaporation.

If one is going to Embrace Physics - then Consciousness is its Source and nature and expression - but our virtually derived notions of self and consciousness necessarily diminish and deny the true nature of consciousness in order to 'survive'.

As long as the attention and identification persists in activating and reinforcing the virtual reality, it will we 'trapped' or defined thereby. The only 'way out' of an impossible situation is to recognize one is not in it.
Jesus was not a social worker. (Not to say that social workers may not also extend recognition and true worth in all they say and do).

bohemond commented to the article:
Immanuel Kant told us this 200 years ago.

I replied to bohemond:

One might say that the truth and the messengers of truth are forever in our face but while it is turned away there is no reception. But the interference can be used to generate a different kind of experience... of a private, unshared mind. Which plays a part in a world of powers and personas - including philosophers.

sodit sadmaninagame commented to the article:

What dear Mr. Chivers is trying to tell us is, like left wing politics, what one perceives and reality can be two completely different things.

I replied to sodit :

    Your experience is really experienced - even if it is delusional. When people solicit mutual reinforcement it helps maintain the world as they imagine or wish it to be... for those who share the idea. Whenever such a pride-bubble arises in its scarcity consciousness, it is followed by a crash or fall. Redefining Life in terms of destruction makes a virtue of wasting the Life of oneself and Others. Not that it is a virtue - but that while its on it is believed with great intensity - or else the scarcity consciousness would rise up naked like a Beast from the Deep!

speedofdark commented to the article:

I was being a little sarcastic below since it was a part of 3rd form physics to be told how the perceptive apparatus of our brains worked to decode the external world. That external world is simply energy in various constructs and forms. Our human wiring is of a kind and nature to allow us to see the world in a form that is usable by our species.

Not a lot new in that but that s how it is.

#8

I replied to speedofdark:

    I grokked that from school physics - and within it is the realisation of a 'world' that is a model in consciousness. Nothing leaves or is outside consciousness - yet the belief-perception that it does gives rise to some incredible experience - as I'm sure you know. So compelling is it - that one totally forgets consciousness and becomes distracted within the 'world'.

    (Note that this journey through time is supported from 'within' - which is to say there are facet of consciousness that are usually un-conscious - from the perspective of what we take to be our waking self).

    Information without realisation may be the 'same old same old, but its realisation is always absolutely Fresh!

A brain cannot 'see' or know, it can only facilitate seeing and knowing (or not). The body mind (and brain) is a communication device.
When dissecting scientists did not find a biological Soul they kept the 'self' or persona - and yet should it not have been thrown out with God and the Soul?
Whatever Life/Existence Is - knows Itself through its extensions and by its expressions.
An operating system can be run in emulation layer on an architecture that otherwise it could not run. While the mind identifies exclusively with its local expression it will only 'know' within the emulation layer that it takes as its 'world'.
The non-local is so pervasive - so infinitely omnipresent as to be perfectly invisible. And yet without it, there would be no awareness or experience.
Take care of your brain and your body and your consciousness will realign. But seek to use it as a command and control device and you will find ever more struggle and chaos to have to manage!

IvyMike commented to the article:

None of this tells us why we need to 'see' at all, as opposed to all being 'philosophical zombies'. A computer linked to a camera can distinguish different colours without 'seeing' anything. The observation part of consciousness seems to have no known useful function.

I replied to IvyMike:

    Maybe if you invert that you'll have a Eureka moment?
    Nothing and no one needs tell you that your innate function is to behold - to experience and to know yourself and your Self thereby. This goes on all the time anyway - whether you are conscious of it or not.
    No computational activity has any manifest existence until it is translated into experiencable tangibility.
    It could be posited that the personality structure that presumes itself the power and actor according to meanings it generates - then blocks and interferes with its true function to no needful benefit excepting a self perpetuating negative loop from which to awaken.

Power to control the minds of others

The Daily Bell likes to speak on issues the mainstream don't address in the positioning of reading the times for investment activity. It sees much/most of history as 'directed' by power elites.

Surprise! Economist Magazine Approves of Internet Governance Conference in Brazil
I notice that the self-policing occurs as a result of feeling intimidated by a seemingly all knowing overseer who wields a power that no one can really fight and win.

But I also see the reflecting of our own consciousness back at us - and I invite recognizing fear, coercion and its ploys within our own mind - so as to be free of them.

When one sees the lie as a lie - one can no longer believe it and live as if it were true. The need for an enemy is the device by which to displace the liar and its guilt and fear payload ELSEWHERE!

Tolkien offered prescience - for all his fantasy packaging. The relinquishment of the coercive control mentality in the individual is the opening to Consciousness Itself. Human consciousness has over millennia developed a capacity for disconnecting awareness of its true nature by means of a device that sets up division, coercion, conflict, loss and power-over.

This 'power lust' is bringing its own end-time by having consumed its host. When watching a BBC program on metamorphosis, one example was the grasshoppers ate up all their resources and thus condensed to smaller areas and their subsequently more frequent antenna communications triggered the gene switch that brought the change to winged offspring.

In the same way I am suggesting that when painted into an impossible situation, the realisation one is not IN it comes as the fruit of a shift in perspective to a capacity to look at the beliefs and definitions from where they are seen as beliefs and definitions rather than being 'traded' as real currency.

Consciousness expresses its foundation. To have made a foundation of our own that blanks off and usurps Consciousness Itself is like getting so immersed in the Net or a computer game - that you invest your life in it - over and over again. (AKA addiction).

The addict that denies their addiction lives a script in which all things have to either support getting their fix or not threaten it.

When finally bottoming out - they can no longer support the script and the recognition of insanity becomes the dawning of a relationship WITH Sanity.

To DO what you ARE is simply congruency and not a fearful controlling strategic act. Listening or feeling for the appropriate forms of what to say or how to be or whether to remain quiet are all attributes of a connected Consciousness. If you really want to live on 'manual override in an isolation experience, then impose your particular quagmire of rules and regulations and play out 'victim and victimizer' in how ever many variations it takes to grow tired of it.

The way the power-mentality works is to subvert ALL things unto its own agenda - so if something happens that is not its design, it subverts it. All that is your true Inheritance as Conscious Awareness is subverted to such 'power' WHILE SUCH IS YOUR CHOICE - knowing or unknowing. The more control it believes it has the more insanely disconnected it becomes in pursuing it. (THIS ALONE demonstrates it does not rest in power). It knows no peace.

There is already a Living Net that is already a perfect communication system - but we chose to turn our back on it and make our own mimicry. How hollow and loveless - even lifeless - does it have to get before we wake up from slavery? Each of us is a individual will within collective agreements. The power of illusion can be used for extending joy instead of exporting pain as if to make less pain seem joyful. The illusion of power carries a cost that no one in their right mind would pay - but as I tried to show we traded that mind in when we let 'a bit on the side' blind us to our true desire.

Materialism does not believe itself deceived. Power is its only reality and the only question then is who wields it and aligning with it. All fragments of love's unified reality are traded as deceptions whereby to sweeten the poison, or justify the unjustifiable.

The Talmud reportedly portrays Jesus in boiling shit for an eternity. Fear of love NEEDS hatred to persist and will get it from you any which way it can - while you think it speaks for You.

Mr Putin recently called the Internet a CIA project. Control of the minds of others is the dream of the wannabe god. But to worship such a god you have to give up your own and have none else besides.
