This Key Word List and Glossary considers thinking in the universe. Looking is inevitably followed by thinking to fill in the gaps from looking. The essence of thinking is to establish continuity, consistency and harmony of reality.

Glossary

Thinking
Thinking is postulating and interjecting ideas to make sense out of what is there. Thinking starts with making considerations.

Postulate
A postulate is a self-created truth based on which further reasoning is done. A postulate is made of perceptual elements.

Truth
Truth is the integrity (continuity, consistency, and harmony) of reality. In other words, truth is an absence of anomalies. To the degree anomalies are present, some truth is missing.

Anomaly
An anomaly is any violation of the integrity of reality, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), or disharmony (arbitrary data).

Reason
Origin: “Ratio.” Reasoning is generating patterns in mental matrix that are continuous consistent and harmonious (have no anomalies), to resolve inconsistencies.

Consideration
To consider is to examine what is there and give it a shape through visualization. A consideration is the shape given as a structure of associations. The moment something is triggered by the unknowable, it is defined in the mind by considerations.

Visualize
To visualize is to rearrange perceptual elements into a new pattern.

Create
The ability to create is the ability to visualize something consistent.

Thought
Thought is the dimension of relations, associations, considerations, concepts, and ideas. The continuity, consistency and harmony in this dimension provides the sense of logic.

Logic
Origin: “Of speech or reason.” Logic is the system or principles of reasoning. The basic condition of logic is the continuity, harmony and consistency of reality. The mind naturally follows that condition unless interfered with.

Consciousness
Consciousness is the result of assimilation of the mental matrix. The finer is the assimilation, the greater is the consciousness.

Speculation
Origin: “to watch over, explore“. There is always some speculation in thinking, but thinking reduces to speculation only, when possibilities are entertained that do not have firm basis.

Glossary

Looking
Looking means to observe and recognize things for what they are. Looking does not involve thinking. Accurate perception requires the elimination of inconsistencies through unstacking of unassimilated impressions.

Inconsistency
An inconsistency is something that is not consistent with its surroundings. It is arbitrary to some degree. Yet it is accepted because it seems to explain some confusion. Examples of this would be unreal beliefs that people carry around, and strange rituals that they engage in.

Arbitrary
An arbitrary consists of the assumption or projection made during the assimilation of perceptual elements to maintain continuity, consistency and harmony in the mental matrix. The arbitrariness exists because not all data is known. It generates anomalies when various data is associated. These anomalies show up as doubts and perplexities, which are then resolved by getting more precise data.

Attention
Attention, when left to itself, generally goes to those areas where the processing of sensory input is slowed or blocked by inconsistencies.

Unassimilated impression
Unassimilated impressions consists of sensations, perceptions and knowing that have not been assimilated. At the root of unassimilated sensations are traumas that are too chaotic to be assimilated. Until they are assimilated, the subsequent perceptions and knowing also remain unassimilated to some degree. 

Unstacking
Unassimilated impressions stack up in the mind waiting to be assimilated. They unstack only by themselves when not interfered with, under deep concentration and free association.

Free Association
In free association one looks at the mind without interfering with it. Attention may flip from place to place; but as one keeps looking non-judgmentally without resistance, a pattern may emerge. As one keeps looking, the pattern may reveal some inconsistency. Such free association is non-verbal.

Directed Process
A directed process simply provides some assistance to a person in looking, with the proviso that the process does not imply that there must be something to be found in that direction. The directed process constrains free association to that direction.

Memory
Origin: “remembering”. When recalled, perceptual elements come together per their time stamps to generate the memory. Memory operates in the background to support computations. Memory does not consist of readymade recordings stored in the mind. 

Time stamp
Time stamp is the sense of successive occurrence coded in the perceptual elements.

Experiencing
Experiencing is a deeper form of looking. It is looking at the feelings, emotions, sensations and efforts arising in the mind and felt in the body. These are flows that outpour or discharge when not resisted.

This Key Word List and Glossary considers the universe and its beginning. We may only speculate on this subject based on the reasoning provided below.

.

Key Word List

Manifest, Begin, Unknowable, Change, Cause & Effect, End, Cycle, Evolution

.

Glossary

Manifest
Origin: “detected in the act, evident, visible”. Manifest means readily perceived by the eye or the understanding. We become aware of the universe upon its manifestation.

Begin
The universe began with a manifestation. In other words, the universe began with awareness.

Unknowable
That, which is before the beginning of the universe. It cannot be known because it is not manifested. It is different from “unknown,” which is something manifested but not known. 

Change
Starting from the beginning there are successive changes.

Cause & Effect
When there is a previous manifestation that changes into a subsequent manifestation, we have the ideas of cause and effect. The idea of CAUSE applies to the “previous manifestation”, which is “unknowable” for the universe itself. Otherwise, cause and effect apply to everything within the universe. 

End
Within the universe a manifestation ends when it changes to another manifestation. 

Cycle
A cycle is something that repeats. Begin-Change-End is the most basic cycle. A cycle can be viewed only from a viewpoint independent of that cycle. Thus, we can see cycles within the universe of which we are not a part. Since we are not independent of the universe; we may only speculate on the cycle of the universe. We cannot say if the universe has a beginning or an end. For us, the universe begins with awareness, and ends in non-awareness. 

Evolution
Origin: “to unroll, open, unfold”. To evolve is to develop gradually. The cycles in this universe lead to evolution from simple to more complex and sophisticated. There is evolution from inanimate objects to self-animated organism. The self-animated organism evolve from the vegetable and the animal kingdoms to humans. The peak of this evolution is the human kind. The deep awareness appears only at the level of humans in the form of knowingness.
