KHTK Axiom #4: Objects (old)

[Reference: KHTK AXIOM #3: Space-time]

.

KHTK Axiom #4: Objects are ‘systems of motion’ characterized by space.

  1. With two objects in relative motion there is a single dimension along the line joining them. There is awareness of one-dimensional space.

  2. With three objects in relative motion, there is a planar region generated by the lines joining them. This region requires a minimum of two dimensions to describe it fully. There is awareness of two-dimensional space.

  3. With four objects in relative motion, there is a bulk of region generated by the lines joining them. This region requires a minimum of three dimensions to describe it fully. There is awareness of three-dimensional space.

  4. With more than four objects in relative motion, the lines joining them generate more complex characteristics of the system that are not necessarily geometric. These characteristics are as complex as color and temperature. This leads to awareness of multi-dimensional space. 

  5. A multi-dimensional space acquires all those characteristics that are used to identify a system of motion. We become aware of that system of motion as an object.

KHTK Axiom #3: Space-time (old)

[Reference: KHTK AXIOM #2: Awareness]

.

KHTK Axiom #3: Awareness of motion is composed of space and time.

  1. Motion comes into awareness with an object appearing at a distance, approaching, passing, and then moving away to disappear in the distance.

  2. The varying distance defines the dimension of this motion.

  3. The motion stays in awareness from the moment the object appears till the moment it disappears.

  4. The continuation of motion defines its duration.

  5. Dimension of motion, such as, the varying distance brings about the experience of space.

  6. Duration of motion, such as, the period of varying distance brings about the experience of time.

KHTK Axiom #2: Awareness (old)

[Reference: KHTK AXIOM #1: The Relative]

.

KHTK Axiom #2: Awareness arises with relative motion, and disappears when there is no relative motion.

  1. Awareness among objects comes from relative motion among them.

  2. The objects in motion are not just something physical like a chair, Mozart’s music, or sensation. They can also be complex abstractions like thought, emotion, or impulse. 

  3. The self-awareness of an object must consist of an internal system of motion.

  4. There is no isolated “point of awareness” observing and/or creating motion from a distance.

KHTK Axiom #1: The Relative (old)

May 17, 2014: This essay is superseded by KHTK Postulates for Metaphysics – Part 1

.

[Reference: KHTK AXIOM #0: The Absolute]

.

KHTK Axiom #1: Neither the state of rest, nor the state of motion can be determined to exist in an absolute sense. All motion is relative.

DEFINITION: Absolute means, “Viewed independently; not comparative or relative; ultimate; intrinsic.”

  1. The theory of relativity states that from all uniformly moving frames of references, the laws of physics appear to be the same.

  2. With nothing to compare to, one cannot tell if the frame of reference is at rest or if it is moving at the speed of light. There is no awareness of uniform motion.

  3. When there is something to compare to, there is awareness of uniform motion. Still there is no way to tell which object is at rest and which object is moving.

  4. There is neither absolute static, nor absolute kinetic. The awareness of static and kinetic exists in a relative sense only.

  5. What remains in the absence of relativity cannot be determined.

Exercise: Technique of Mindfulness

October 1, 2013 – 5:20 PM

Reference Study:

The Context of KHTK

Mindfulness

The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness

.

Mindfulness is attentiveness. The function of mindfulness is to bring clarity to what is being perceived. The 12 aspects of mindfulness are:

  • Observe without expecting anything, or attempting to get an answer.
  • Observe things as they are, without assuming anything.
  • If something is missing do not imagine something else in its place. 
  • If something does not make sense then do not explain it away.
  • Use physical senses as well as mental sense to observe.
  • Let the mind un-stack itself. 
  • Experience fully what is there.  
  • Do not suppress anything.
  • Associate data freely.
  • Do not get hung up on name and form.
  • Contemplate thoughtfully.
  • Let it all be effortless.

.

EXERCISE

Purpose:

To understand the technique of mindfulness

 

Training Guideline:

This exercise is best done as a cooperative effort between two people. They alternate in the roles of a student and a guide. The guide assists the student in understanding the materials.

  1. The guide makes the person feel comfortable.

  2. The guide introduces the student to mindfulness using the introduction above.

  3. The guide provides the student with a copy of the document The 12 Aspects of Mindfulness, or helps him access it on a computer.

  4. The guide goes over each aspect of mindfulness with the student one by one.

  5. The student reads the text under each aspect.

  6. The student then does the recommended exercise briefly to gain some familiarity with that aspect.

  7. The guide skillfully handles any questions the student might have.

  8. When the student has understood all the 12 aspects of mindfulness, this exercise is completed.
