The Misjudgment

Misjudgments result in overt actions that are irrational and do not make sense. Such actions lead to embarrassment and even harm. They occur because the person does not know how to properly respond to some situation. It is perceived as a lack of responsibility.

When a misjudgment is deeply embedded, the person continues to commit overt actions that are harmful. He is perceived to have evil intentions, and others start to thwart his efforts. He, therefore, gets enmeshed into problems and upsets that pile up and generate anxieties in him. As these anxieties pile up over time they generate mental mass. This phenomenon is called GPM for Goal-Problem-Mass.

Usually the person feels pressure due to his misjudgments and overt actions. He wants to be rehabilitated, but he withholds talking about his overt action because he conceives that telling it would be another overt act. When the burden becomes too great he is driven to justify his actions by finding fault or displacing blame.

As he continues to commit overt acts he seeks to minimize his power. He separates himself from others, and even seeks to dispose of himself. Thus, he gets into this dwindling spiral that leads to a degradation of himself.

Misconception

The various phenomena, such as, problems, upsets, overt/withholds, evil intentions, and mental mass are generally not seen as connected, but they all have their basis in misjudgments.

The Fixations

Reference: Postulate Mechanics

.

The Fixations

Reaching and withdrawing are the basic actions as attention moves from one thing to another. When the attention is unable to reach and withdraw, it is fixed on something. The attention is fixed because there is something not quite clear. Thus, a lack of differentiation or a mystery exists.

Normally, the mind breaks up the incoming sensation and assimilates it in the mental matrix to have a clear perception. But when the sensation cannot be assimilated fully, some fixation and mystery remains.

The fixations thus become part of beingness, and they even come to define that beingness. Such fixations then influence the perceptions, thinking and behavior of that organism, or individual. For example, fixations are commonly seen in the form of biases, prejudices, fixed ideas and in habitual, erratic, and insane behavior.

The fixations may be divided into three main categories:

  1. Engram
  2. Misjudgment
  3. Misconception

An Engram is a traumatic experience that involves pain and unconsciousness. These are few but each may take a lifetime to assimilate naturally. They can be assimilated much faster through deep contemplation and meditation.

A Misjudgment results in overt action that is irrational and does not make sense. It leads to embarrassment and even harm. Overts are followed by withholds, justifications and evil intentions. Together they form Goal-Problem-Mass (GPM). The GPMs are traced back to underlying misjudgments.

A Misconception is an erroneous idea, or a mistaken notion about something very basic, such as, “The sun goes around the earth.” These are well hidden considerations and require search and discovery. The assimilation of misconceptions has a wide ranging beneficial effect.

Misconceptions lie within misjudgments; and misjudgments lie within engrams. The most fixed item shall have the most significance. It needs to be addressed first. The key technique for that is the Listing Process or the Listing Procedure.

.

Misconception

Unfortunately, misconceptions are not perceived as fixations that underlie engrams and misjudgments.

The Vortex Model

Reference: Postulate Mechanics

The increase in consistency from thought to energy to matter, can be seen as condensation of the substance, and a decrease in its fluidity or intrinsic motion. This phenomenon may be represented by a Vortex Model.

.

Definition of VORTEX MODEL

Thought, energy and matter may be visualized as forming the outer, middle and central part, respectively, of a giant rotating vortex. From this Vortex Model we may conclude that matter at the center would have a speed of near zero. The path of electromagnetic energy would have a very large radius, resulting in a linear speed that of light. The path of thought would have a still larger radius and its linear speed shall be still greater in proportion. 

As one moves toward the center of this rotating Vortex, one is approaching the concept of a point particle of infinitesimal dimensions and infinite consistency. This particle shall have rotational motion only. This is approximated by a proton in a hydrogen atom.

Only when one moves away from the center of this rotating Vortex, that a location undergoes a displacement and has a linear velocity. The path of such a location has the curvature of a circle. A particle filling this location shall have less than infinite mass. This is approximated by an electron in a hydrogen atom.

When the distance from the center of this rotating Vortex is extremely large, the curvature of the path becomes so small that it appears to be a straight line. The substance filling this location shall have no mass, extremely low consistency, and extremely large linear velocity. This is approximated by light.

A similar extrapolation may be made for thought, which will have still lower consistency and higher liner velocity.

.

Notes

The most striking observation about intrinsic motion is its inverse relationship with the consistency of substance. This relationship is observable only when we look at the spectrum of substance from thought to energy to matter. It is not observable when we simply focus on matter. This is because visible motion of matter corresponds to a negligible change in mass. This change in mass with motion is so small that it is ignored in the Newtonian mechanics. Only when the difference in their masses is not too large that the representation of objects as point particles correctly predicts relative motion in Newtonian mechanics.

For this reason, the representation of both proton and electron as point particles in a Hydrogen atom does become a problem, because the difference between their masses is relatively very large. The Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle was conceived to resolve this problem.

Similarly, the representation of both Mercury and Sun as point particles also became a problem, because the difference between their masses is relatively very large. Thus, Newtonian mechanics produces incorrect results. Einstein’s theory of general relativity was conceived to resolve this problem.

According to this Vortex model, the intrinsic motion of substance increases as its consistency decreases from matter to energy to thought. To get accurate answers for relative motions the inverse relationship between consistency (mass) and motion must be taken into account. A hypothesis may be advanced that the product of the consistency and motion is a universal constant. 

.

Key Misconception

A key misconception in Physics is that motion and consistency (mass) of substance are not related to each other, and that there is no absolute scale to measure motion.

The Intrinsic Motion (old)

Please See: The Motion

If there is only one object in the universe, we cannot talk about its relative motion, but we can still talk about its intrinsic motion. The intrinsic motion of an object would be a property just like consistency. 

.

Definition of INTRINSIC MOTION

In a solid object, the internal structure is pretty fixed. We may say that the intrinsic motion of a solid object is zero because its center of mass is fixed within that structure. But in a fluid object, the internal structure is not so fixed, and its center of mass may shift around a bit. So, it has some intrinsic motion. We may say that the intrinsic motion of a substance is related to the fluidity of its internal structure.

As the consistency of substance decreases, the substance expands and becomes more fluid. This can be seen in an atom, where the electronic region is much more fluid compared to the nuclear region because the consistency of the electronic region is much less compared to the nuclear region. The increased fluidity of the electronic region translates into greater intrinsic motion.

A black hole at the center of a galaxy has extremely large mass, and it is not fluid at all; whereas, light has literally no mass, and it is completely fluid. Therefore, the speed of the black hole is practically zero compared to the speed of light, which is 3 x 108 meters / second. 

In the material region itself, we see stars in a galaxy revolving around the black hole at its center; and the planets in a star system revolving around its central star. This is because stars have lesser mass than the central black hole; and the planets have lesser mass than their central star.

There are many influences on the motion of a free body; but a general conclusion may be drawn that the lesser is the mass, the greater is the natural speed of a singlefree body due to greater intrinsic motion. This may not be so for the many rocks in the ring of Mars; but it would so for an isolated comet traveling in the heavens.

On a large scale, there appears to be an inverse relationship between the consistency of substance and its intrinsic motion or fluidity. The higher is the consistency of substance, the slower is its intrinsic motion.

.

Notes

In physics, one generally considers the motion of a point particle to simplify mathematics. A point particle is derived from the idea of the center of mass of a solid object. Therefore, inherent to the use of a point particle is the assumption that the motion is being applied to a solid object. For a point particle, the intrinsic motion would be zero and the consistency would be infinite.

The problem with the Bohr’s model of atom immediately becomes obvious when both the nucleons and the electrons are treated as point particles, while they are vastly different in their consistency and intrinsic motion. This anomaly gave rise to the Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. The probability function is trying to address the phenomenon of intrinsic motion.

As the consistency of an object approaches infinity, its intrinsic motion approaches zero. This would be the state of absolute rest. A black hole at the center of a galaxy would closely approximate the state of absolute rest.

The definition of motion as the “change of position in space” applies to solid objects and point particles only. It is a matter-centric concept. 

.

Key Misconception

A key misconception is that the relative motion describes the actual motion of substance. It is obvious that the motion of Earth is not measured by its speed relative to light, or to the Sun. The actual motion is described by the intrinsic motion of substance.

The Matter-Centric Fixation

Reference: Essays on Substance

The Matter-Centric Fixation

Physics, at one time, believed that the Sun goes around the Earth. This earth-centric observation also found the planets to have complex motions. However, with the introduction of a heliocentric model for the Solar system, all this complexity of motion suddenly disappeared. All planets, including Earth, could now be seen to have simple regular motions around the Sun.

It was the increasing use of the scientific method that helped overcome the earth-centric fixation. The heliocentric theory has been verified by direct observation of similar systems in the heavens. The use of mathematics has been at the center of this scientific revolution. It is quite possible that unnecessary complexity of math may indicate that a phenomena is being viewed incorrectly.  

The math involved in classical physics appears to be very simple compared to math required today to explain the sub-atomic and cosmic phenomena. The interpretation of the math arising from the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics is increasingly challenging our reality of how the substance behaves in space and time. We still do not quite understand the nature of basic phenomena, such as, charge, radiation and gravity. 

Physics believes that the only substance is matter with mass. It believes that the phenomena of electromagnetic radiation and thought have no mass; but they arise from matter. It endeavors to describe all phenomena in terms of particles that have center-of-mass, and waves that require a material medium. All this seems to sum up to a matter-centric fixation. 

Is matter the only substance that there is? Can the Scientific Method help us answer this question?
