Re: Consciousness

Laurent, et al,

Give or take a few minor differences, the below overall description  
of absolute consciousness or perception/action (awareness, will,  
etc.) -- as the fundamental cause (along with infinite wave  
interference patterned holographic structural information) of total  
spacetime, mind, matter-energy, brain-body, etc -- pretty much agrees  
with the ABC fractal involved field model of cosmogenesis, mind and  
consciousness posted at:
http://dzyanmaster.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/3/

The major difference is that the ABC model explains the actual pre  
cosmic source of the "pilot waves" (as part of Bohm's implicate  
order) represented as the analogous higher order hyperspace fields on  
the lowest order physical plane of the total cosmic manifest space...  
With the noumenal source of phenomenal consciousness and all mass- 
energy (spherical standing wave) forms being the fundamental  
qualities of the zero-point singularity of unconditioned absolute  
space located everywhere in total (hyperspherical) spacetime...  
"Whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere"... With all  
cosmic information contained as a virtual hologram in the spin  
momentum of every ZP center of consciousness and soin momentum source  
of each harmonic fractal field within total spacetime -- down to the  
infinitely dense cosmic singularity and its first axion or virtual  
particle-standing wave inside the Planck space and extending at  
infinite radius around all manifest cosmic space.

In addition, the ABC model explains the actual mechanism of  
perceptive consciousness in detecting, holographically  
reconstructing, and perceiving the hologram of the visual image field  
processed by and transformed by the holographic brain and transmitted  
through the higher order harmonic EM mind and memory fields (in  
hyperspace) by phase conjugate adaptive resonance processes... The  
same method, in reverse, that the physical particle spherical  
standing waves are constructed out of the analogous holographic  
information contained in each ZP spin momentum singularity at their  
centers.  Thus, it's obvious, as Einstein said, that 'all matter- 
energy is space in motion'.  He was referring, of course, to the  
unconditioned "father=mother" or first differentiation of the cosmic  
singularity on the physical plane, that  he called the "Aether" (See,  
his Leiden Lecture of 1920).

Note that, in accord with the fundamental unrenormalized theory of  
general relativity, it's the physical spacetime's vector space (and  
its compressive gravitational and expansive electromagnetic fields,  
spiraling into and out of every ZP singularity which are relative --  
not the supposed "time vector" (which is simply a measure of change  
not a 4th spatial dimension) -- as normally assumed by conventional  
physics.

I suppose that Einstein intentionally misinterpreted this in order to  
make his SRT and GRT considered as part classical physics, in order  
to get his initial papers published in the peer reviewed journals of  
his time.  This decision must have haunted him for the rest of his  
life -- since it prevented him from finding a mathematical solution  
to a unified field theory.  I'm sure he knew that gravity and  
electrodynamic fields were essentially the same fundamental force  
field underlying all metric space -- one, the compressive/attractive  
aspect and the other, the expansive/repulsive aspect.  Naturally,  
nothing can come from nothing -- and all metric space, matte-energy,  
information, and consciousness are all interrelated and dependently  
arising aspects of one fundamental reality -- that we can only call,  
"eternally ubiquitous, unconditioned absolute space".

Accordingly, the initial shape of every radiant energy field  
spiraling vortically into and out of a ZP singularity, is in the form  
of a spiral vortex double helix -- with a basic cube-    octahedron  
crystal geometry that ultimately resolves into 8 x 8 nested  
tetrahedrons.  Thus, explaining the complementarity of gravity- 
antigravity on the one hand, and electricity-magnetism on the other.   
This fundamental structure of space can be clearly seen in the  
opposing polarized radiation of all super dense neutron stars  
(pulsars) at the center of supernovas.  Apparently, the birth and  
death of all forms of matter-energy in total space are seemingly  
reversely identical

I guess that's enough about this "New Physics" paradigm to give us a  
good start in figuring out all the rest for ourselves... (Like, e.g.,  
explaining all paranormal experiences and psi effects, and  
determining if the ancient philosopher-scientists were right in  
saying that our individual consciousness lives on after death, and  
that it reincarnates periodically, in accord with its accumulated  
karma?)
