7 years old conductor

November 8, 2012 – 2:03 PM

I see this little conductor playing the orchestra in his mind. He knows each note being played on every instrument. This is a fantastic display of an incredible ability without having any attention on that ability. He is thoroughly enjoying himself.

Chris is a great thinker. His contribution to Vinaire’s blog has been most profuse. He is impressive in his ability to look.

Chris has his own blog that may be accessed here: Chris Thompson

He is the man in front of the screen (joke).

Axioms of Reason

November 5, 2012 – 11:44 AM

I wrote the following on Chris Thompson’s Blog:

I plan to try out the following for size…

In response, my good friend Maria wrote the following:

I can`t help thinking that there is a set of underlying axioms…

.

Here are the Axioms of Reason:

  1. The Inquiry is into the truth
  2. By truth is meant what is; such is the perception of spirit
  3. Truth is all there is or can be; such is the perception of universality
  4. Truth is indivisibility; such is the perception of unity
  5. Truth is unchangeableness; such is the perception of permanence
  6. Truth is eternity; such is the perception of presence
  7. Truth is not cause or effect; such is the perception of freedom
  8. Truth must be just what it is and nothing else whatsoever; such perception of the inevitable is the power of truth
  9. Truth is individuality; such is the perception of humanity
  10. Truth is God; such is the perception of divinity
  11. Truth is good; such is the perception of satisfaction
  12. Truth is intelligence; such is the perception of mind
  13. Truth is not matter; such is the perception of substance
  14. Truth is love; such is the perception of bliss
  15. Truth is life; such is illumination
  16. Besides truth there is nothing; such is the perception of nature and creation
  17. Axiom of Assumption: Truth, even as an illusion, is still absolute; such is the perception of reflection

.

I am very happy with the request from Maria to post these axioms on my blog for discussion, because it forwards the purpose of this blog. I am very much looking forward to the discussion in accordance with the discussion policy.

The Brain Structure

November 5, 2012 – 9:41 AM

From Paper on Hinduism

Looking at the participation of electrons in chemical reactions, they seem to determine all the physical properties that we perceive. All properties of the body seem to come from how the atoms of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, etc. bond together in large chains. This bonding comes about from sharing of electrons among atoms. The nuclei in atoms seem to act as anchors for the electronic distribution. These macromolecules are large enough to have computing circuits, which generate their own computation. This, probably, gives rise to a rudimentary form of thought. However, this cannot be entirely looked upon as “materialism” because there is an unknowable spiritual element determining that electronic configuration. I believe that physical and spiritual are aspects of a single overall system that is yet to be fully comprehended.

It may be interesting to look at the macromolecule as a genetic computer, and how a psychedelic drug may affect its operation, to fully understand the chemistry of reality.

.

Here is what I have found on brain waves:

Delta wave (0–4 hertz): A high amplitude brain wave… usually associated with the deepest stages of sleep.

Theta wave (4–7 Hz): Tends to appear during drowsy, meditative, or sleeping states… but not during the deepest stages of sleep.

Alpha wave (8–12 Hz): Dominate during wakeful relaxation with closed eyes… reduced with open eyes, drowsiness and sleep

Mu wave (8–13 Hz): Most prominent when the body is physically at rest… suppressed when one performs or observes a motor action

Beta wave (12-30 Hz): States associated with normal waking consciousness

Gamma wave (25-100 Hz): May be implicated in creating the unity of conscious perception

It seems that brain waves move toward a higher frequency as the brain wakes up more and more. Finally, at the level of “Gamma” one is increasingly operating at the level of intuition. Here one seems to be continually resolving inconsistencies as they arise.

With the practice of KHTK Looking, one may be able to raise the activity of the brain to the level of producing more Gamma waves. This may provide us with some understanding about the physics of reality.

An Analysis of Scientology Factor # 1 (old)

October 23, 2012 – 6:35 AM

Please see A Course on Hubbard’s Factors

The very first Factor of Scientology states:

FACTOR # 1: BEFORE THE BEGINNING WAS A CAUSE AND THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THE CAUSE WAS THE CREATION OF EFFECT.

.

Let’s examine this Factor.

  1. “Beginning” implies the beginning of any manifestation. This includes the universe as an overall manifestation.

  2. If Cause is postulated to be there before the beginning then the question arises, “Can Cause be there all by itself before its effect manifests itself?” An overall effect would be the creation of the universe. 

  3. If the answer is “yes” then Cause will be a manifestation on its own right, and the question then becomes, “What is the cause of the Cause?” This logic inevitably leads to an endless chain of causes, and the beginning keeps getting pushed back earlier and earlier.

  4. If the answer is “no” then the Cause must occur simultaneously with effect. “Cause-effect” would then be part of the same manifestation at the beginning. One may say that God and Universe must have appeared simultaneously as a pair.

  5. One tries to fix the dilemma in (3) by postulating “Uncaused cause.” But this postulate appears to be self-contradictory and simply a device of convenience.

  6. Thus, CAUSE seems to be part of the created considerations. This seems to be consistent with the idea that TIME itself would start at the beginning.

  7. Thus, there would be no such thing as “before the beginning.”

  8. Thus, CAUSE is part of a system of interdependent considerations. It is part of the creation like anything else. There is no linear chain of considerations as implied by the factor above.

  9. The idea â€śbefore the beginning” would then be a projection that is created after the fact of beginning. Thus, the idea of God as the Creator would appear after the fact of Creation.

  10. The assumption that CAUSE, a consideration in itself, can be separated from, and can be extended beyond, the system of considerations it generates, seems to be the basic inconsistency.

.

Thus, it appears that beginning is simply there. We do not know how the beginning of creation comes to be. We may try to explain or justify it with arbitrary postulation, but the fact remains that we do not really know the answer.

This conclusion is uncomfortable to face. That is why we get postulates like “Uncaused cause,” “God as the Creator,” and Scientology Factor #1.

To see how the inconsistency in Factor #1 may be addressed please see: KHTK Axiom Zero
