Is This Really Self-Aware Universe

Monistic Universe

Mr. Amit Goswami (1993) described awareness as the medium which impacts quantum objects to make their behavior rational. He did so, while searching for the actual basis of objective reality and nature of one's mind. In selecting this norm, he wishes to project how, non-energetically, mind can influence matter, as they share a similar core.

Goswami expects to rationally and comprehensively resolve some of the important inconsistencies of physics, by shifting from a universe, based on bits of matter, to one based on realization. He feels that everything is made of consciousness instead of atoms. Supposing vague objects become waves and spread at places, more than one, because quantum mechanics has shown, consciousness may then become the media that concentrates the waves in a way that we can see them at a single place.

Amit Goswami calls it philosophy, Monism as against dualism and it remains idealism as ideas and not awareness of them are believed to be the basic elements of reality. Matter is just believed to be secondary.

Mind's phenomenon like self consciousness, discretion, ESP and creativity have been explained afresh in the redevelopment of the body mind in fresh circumstances.

Like that explained by Bohm, both in holographic universe and mystical view, there is just dynamic play of a single large web work of subsistence (holomovement by Bohm). This combined movement, a play of creation and destruction, has intentionality.

Goswami does not suggest, however, that awareness is mind; they are varying conceptions.

The awareness of the subject in an object - subject experience is similar to the consciousness which is the basis of all being, in monistic idealism. So, consciousness is unitive. The field of potential also exists in consciousness. As a matter of fact, there is nothing outside awareness.

According to Lord Buddha's preaching if there was not this uncreated, this unformed, this un-originated and this unborn, escape from this world of those born, the created, the formed, the originated would be impossible.

However, according to Buddha, there is this necessary ground, and it is possible to get away time-space.

If brain and mind combination is an object in universal consciousness that covers entire reality, then what we know as empirical objective reality is contained in this consciousness. One becomes numerous by self reference, division into hierarchies which are tangled with reiterating information.

The crux is to differentiate between awareness and consciousness.

In the methods we know of, models which are classical, prevail. When we deliberately observe, awareness collapses the quantum state of the mind and brain combine. Accidental processing will not affect the collapse the function of quantum wave, nailing down quantized entities to single reality. Therefore, un-conscious processing allows the expression of universal phenomenon.

The position in the mind and brain combine, with consciousness destroying the function of wave could happen, only in the presence of awareness. There is a hierarchy which is entangled, within the subjective own reference of a system which is monitoring itself.

The von Neumann chain stops where action is by the system which is self-referential.

THAT DARN CAT

Erwin Schrodinger prompted us to remember that observations should be considered as discontinuous and discrete events. There are gaps in-between these which cannot be filled.

He exemplified his popular metaphor of the principle of uncertainty with the example of Schrodinger's Cat. All students of physics ultimately feel tired of listening regarding the cat which is stupid, again and again, wondering if it will be dead or alive.

Goswami tried putting it to rest with his 'nine lives of cat' version:

- The cat, in its first life, is considered only as a statistic, as a part of a group. This cat is upset (as it is denied of its individuality in this group interpretation) but it is not hurt.

- The cat, in its second life, is seen as an illustration of the classical / quantum duality by the conflict ridden philosophers of macro realism. The cat declines to barter its life/death duality for a different dichotomy.

- The cat, in its third life, is faced with unchangeability and uncertainty, however, it says, establish it.

- The cat, in its fourth life, faces the unseen differences and whatever takes place remains hidden.

- In its fifth life, supporters of the Copenhagen Interpretation, try to eliminate the cat, by adopting the philosophy related to logical positivism. However, the cat escapes unharmed, by most judgments.

- The cat, in its sixth life, comes across many worlds. No one knows it might have passed away in some universe, however from what we can say, certainly not in this one.

- The cat, in its seventh life, encounters Bohr and also his complementarity, however, what saves it is the query 'What forms a measurement?'

- The cat, in its eighth life, encounters consciousness directly, but Wigner's companion saves it.

- And ultimately, the cat, in its ninth life, finds deliverance, in the optimist's interpretation.

From these models, only three are not faulty:

- The theory of numerous worlds

- Theory related to hidden universal variables and

- The theory of monistic optimism

PHILOSOPHY OF CHOICE

The optimist resolve of the absurdity of the cat's existence requires that the consciousness of the subject who is observing choose one aspect from the versatile alive and dead rational top position of the cat and therefore seals its destiny.

The person is the one who chooses, and selection is primary to existence, that is to say.. I am, because I choose.

Liberty to choose means the likelihood of going from an old circumstance to one which is new and at a level which is higher. The capability to choose, although it is a recognizing selection, informs us of the experiences we choose from. From the innumerable different choices, we understand the path of our individual becoming, and describe our self. Whether to choose or not, is the most important point of consciousness in oneself.

What is more precise than the previous notion of those who are not conscious, is our mindful self is not conscious of most of the things nearly all the time as well as every thing in untroubled sleep. Ironically, those who are not conscious are holistically, universally aware of most things at all times. It never goes to sleep. Our mindful self is not conscious of the unconscious, as also the unconscious is in fact more mindful than the normal awareness.

Unmindful thoughts and our feelings have an influence over the thoughts which are conscious. Throughout unconscious observation, a feeling that is not conscious can result in an inexplicable conscious feeling. As per Amit Goswami, a choice is an attendant of experience which is conscious, but not of perception which is not conscious. When a choice is made, our subject consciousness arises. The times we don't make a choice, we fail to confess to our perception.

Before we make a choice, the position of the mind and brain combine is in an uncertain state, something similar to Schrodinger's cat. Then, in quantum theory, subject that selects is a lone, common subject and not our individual ego 'I'. Therefore, this non-local choosing awareness is also universal.

Even if one initiates unseen variables to define a fundamental explanation of quantum mechanics, as done by David Bohm, those concealed variables need to be universal. According to the Bohm's theory, light that casts a reflection of reality is casual concealed variables and not the light of imaginative awareness, which the present research indicates could be deterministically disorderly, instead of probabilistic.

As per the interpretation of an idealist, intrusion to the Electron paramagnetic resonance Paradox, indicates universal inter-relation in-between photons. The hidden variables are not required for an explanation. But of course, consciousness must act universal; to enable collapse of the wave function of the universal correlated photons.

Therefore, events occurring at the same time in our time - space world could be correlated to a common reason, meaningfully, that rests in a universal realm outside time and space. This common reason is the action of universal disintegration of consciousness. Therefore it isn't transferring of message (from sender to a receiver, from within a channel) but a communique in awareness. This, based on causality, has vital consequences for the information theory.

Universal consciousness may seem to be like a 'hidden variable', but it doesn't comprise of causal restrictions. Simply, it is us. Universal consciousness works with non-linear imaginative discontinuity right from instant to instant, incident to incident and not with causal continuity.

The quantum leap away from the system, this discontinuity, is an important part of creativity required for consciousness to view itself, as in own reference. This, in other words, means that we could exercise liberty to be open to a new meaning.

VIRTUAL DOMAINS OR FORMLESS POTENTIAL

If an idealist elucidation is to be believed, logical super positions exist in an inspirational arena as origin of matter, which is formless. Supposing the parallel worlds from the theory of many-worlds aren't material, but archetypical in its content, the mind's universes. Then, every comment defines a causal route in the structure of alternatives in the inspirational purview of reality. After the choice is defined, all but one of the routes are left out from the world of expression.

According to Amit Goswami's suggestions the universe exists as shapeless potential in countless possible arms in the transcendent arena and it becomes obvious only when seen by a conscious being. These self denotative observations plots the universe's causal past, rejecting the shapeless similar options that don't ever manifest.

According to Goswami, the universe diverges in each occasion in the transcendent arena, becoming numerous branches, until there is a conscious being in one of the arms or branches that can view with consciousness and fulfill a quantum dimension. The fundamental route leading to the conscious being collapses in time space reality.

In this universe meaning occurs when conscious being observes it, selecting causal pathway amongst the countless transcendent alternatives. This view, defined as anthropocentric, is also defined as the Anthropic Principle, in cosmology. In this the universe has been made for our sake.

Surprisingly, this is probably well suited with what we call, quantum physics.

THE QUANTUM BRAIN

Among the many physicists, a strong sense of belief is arising that our brain is an interactive structure which consists of a quantum macro structure mechanism, as a significant part to the classical neuronal assemble.

The quantum and classical parts of the mind and brain interrelate with a primary idealist structure in which consciousness will be paramount. The classical and quantum difference is simply functional. The spirit is one. Knowledgeable mental position arises from communication between both quantum and classical positions.

The quantum part of the mind and brain combine is one which can regenerate and its matter is multifaceted. It becomes the carrier for deliberate creativity and for choice. In comparison, as it has a protracted regeneration period, the classical part of the brain and mind combine can become memory and by this they can serve the purpose of a reference point with relation to experience.

The archetypical part of thought is exposed by the inbuilt uncertainty: Supposing we focus on the substance related to thought, we tend to lose focus on the way in which our thought is going. If we focus on direction that a thought is taking, we lose clarity of its content. The characteristics (instantaneous content) it possesses, equates with relation to the physical objects; relationship (shifting of thought in consciousness) is like impetus in objects.

Thought subsists in transcendent archetypes between expressions, like quantum object like its inspirational logical super position and manifest single faceted (atom) aspects.

Investigations indicate spatial coherence of the brain waves at the time of transcendence devotion, relative to the degree of ultimate awareness as reported by the one who meditates. Investigations after mutual hypnosis, meditation in groups and remote viewing have thrown-up consistency of brain-waves in players, sharing consciousness positions

Like in co-consciousness or remedial relationship, two people interrelate for some period of time, till they realize that a direct (universal) association has been built. The person then keeps their one to one contact from inside separate Faraday cages at a distance. After one of the person's brains respond to a external stimulant with a evoked possibility, the other person's brain indicates a transfer of potential which is comparable in shape and vigor with relation to evoked potential.

Preceding the happening of awareness, the mind and brain combine exists as shapeless potentia (similar to any of the other objects) in the domain of transcendent consciousness. When universal awareness collapses the mind and brain's wave functions, it happens through recognition and choice, and not with any process which is energetic. Therefore, the preservation of energy is not violated in the matter / mind interface.

Goswami asks for the need for an Electron paramagnet resonance related quantum network which states that it needs to be there. Possibly it is Thomas Bearden's zero vector summation and also Buckminster Fuller's vector equilibrium matrix, which elaborates how matter dances in and out of state in quantum creationism.

As per the optimist understanding, consciousness selects the outcome of a sole quantum measurement i.e. universal unitive consciousness. The probabilistic cloud of the quantum system collapses due to the interference of the universal awareness.

The process of choosing involved in collapse seems to be haphazard, in the apparent world. However, in the inspirational realm the process of choosing is looked upon as a choice. Our awareness selects the result of the collapse of the quantum state of our mind and brain combine. Since this result is a cognizant experience, we select our conscious knowledge, and still remain without consciousness about the fundamental procedure.

It is because of this obliviousness which leads to the illusive separateness, the individuality with a separate 'I' of one's own reference (instead of the 'we' of the unitive awareness). The deceptive separateness happens in two phases, however the primary mechanism that is involved is known as hierarchy which is tangled, and is a mode of obtaining one's own reference. The self takes place due to a blanket of discontinuity, a endless oscillation. From the discontinuity emerges the blanket and one's own reference.

Religious mystics have named it The Abyss or The Veil of Isis.

The self part of the self reference remains because of a knotted hierarchy, but our awareness remains the consciousness of the very Being which is far separated from the object subject split. No alternative generator of consciousness is there in the universe.

The self part of the self reference and also awareness of the primary consciousness, together, both make what we know as self consciousness.

EGO AND THE QUANTUM SELF

Prior to the collapse, person is not distinguished from the prototype of tools of experience, mental or physical. Collapse initiates the subject and object separation, which then goes on to the basic awareness about I-am-ness which is known as the 'quantum self'. Knowledge of the quantum self too results in a collapse.

According to conceptualization by Goswami, the mind and brain combine is a twin measuring tool / quantum system, from which the universe gets to become self aware. This universe dissects itself into two, object / subject, ending the chain of von Neumann. We decide on von Neumann's chain by acknowledging that awareness destroys the function of the wave by not behaving dualistically, but like self referentially.

The previous mechanical perception happened to be non regenerative. Repetitive measurement interaction goes on to a basic change in the mind and brain's quantum system. Every learned response, which has been experienced earlier, reinforces the change of a similar response once again. Acquiring knowledge (or previous experience) creates a bias in the mind brain combine.

Prior to the reply to a certain stimuli happens to become conditioned, the likely pool within which consciousness selects our reply spreads to the mental position common to all the people and at every place and at all the time.

During controlled behavior, the double measuring equipment / quantum system becomes classical, virtually. In the extent of a fresh experience, the mind and brain's response is innovative. Incidents like closeness to death will be able to immediately release much suppressed unconscious conditioning, similar to the death of the therapeutic ego. Psycho social circumstances of living no longer remain complete to the true fluid identity.

In case the imaginative strength of quantum component remains unutilized, the tangled hierarchy of interrelating parts of the mind and brain, as a matter of fact, become a straight forward hierarchy of learned and classical programs. Ego is a developing property of the classical being. The quantum form is similar to the 'still point' inside.

Therefore, ego comes from the self examining interrelation of our learned programs which are the result of experience in this world, but then, there is some twist. Individual self gets no independence other than from the quantum self, besides the unitive awareness. Consciousness invariably leaves some possibility for unconditioned originality. Thus making, what we call 'free will' possible.

This procedure can be seen from a 'top down' philosophy or by way of bottom up theory which object subject consciousness comes up as 'order within chaos.'

Why or how does consciousness divide itself?

The position of the mind and brain are believed to be quantum states that are possibility structures, probability weighted and multifaceted. Awareness collapses many faceted structures (a logical super position) selecting one feature but just in front of mind and brain awareness, the mind field in which products of experience come up.

Choice or awareness - which of the two come first?

A knotted power structure, which results in self reference, and results in an object / subject split. Awareness, which is secondary, processes and moves on to intentionality - the inclination to correlate to the object.

The 'I' of thoughtful consciousness also arises from awareness which has secondary processes. Secondary and primary processes usually stay preconscious, obliterating the knotted power structure of process which is primary. At this process level, which is primary, there is none conditioning that means unrestrained liberty of choice.

Benjamin has revealed that prior to the subject experiencing the result of their actions (it is necessary for free will) there is a electric potential that indicates that an objective viewer that the individual is going to or will raise her or his arm.

Amusingly, all of us know that we maintain individual free will to tell 'No' to raising our arm, after even the resultant potential signals differently.

AH-HA! THE CREATIVE EXPERIENCE

In psychosomatic terms, nature reference is to instincts which are unconscious, that drive us all, libido; nuture has reference to conditioning which is environmental, a lot of which is unconscious as well. Creativity, the third leg that in these circumstances is a move from collective unconscious.

Creativity, the development of something totally new and in a totally new context. Key is the newness of this context. We have at our disposal huge archetypal substance of the pure state of mind that goes far ahead of the limited experience contained in our own lifetime. Basically a universal mode of knowledge is creativity.

According to Amit Goswami, the imaginative action is the result of an encounter between the self's quantum and classical modalities. These are the steps in its growth, however all these are hierarchically tangled face-offs, of the two modalities. As the quantum modality continues to remain preconscious in us, the hierarchy is a tangled one.

The classical mood of the person deals with knowledge, like a traditional computer, but the person's quantum modality works with interaction. Therefore the first part of the design of creativity is the knotted play of data (developing the expertise) and interaction (developing openness). It is knotted as you are not able to tell when data ends and interaction starts; there is separation in the 'cosmic message.'

Ego works here as the investigative deputy of quantum modality, besides there needs to be a tough ego or ego which is fluid, to manage de-structuring of the obsolete, that makes way for what is new.

During the second part of creative enlightenment, interaction is between motivation of the quantum modality and perspiration of classical modality. When mind's quantum state grows as a bunch of potentialities in reply to a position of creative confrontation, the bunch admits new, never before demonstrated state of possibilities and not only conditioned states.

As our individual group is statistically measured by our memory, we can reduce the mind's conditioning by maintaining a open mind to decrease the possibility of unconscious conditioned replies, as in creativity. We could increase the chances of demonstrating a reduced probability creative thought by being unrelenting and persistent. This steps-up the count of collapses of mind's quantum state related to a similar query, adding more to the possibility to receive a new potential.

Originality is increased if we face up to ourselves with unlearned stimulus. This, when it seems ambiguous, like in a unrealistic painting, are particularly beneficial for broadening our brains to fresh contexts. As cognizant scrutiny collapses the logical super position, unconscious processing contains a certain amount of benefit. The uncollapsed coherent super position can work on others, defining numerous alternatives for the final collapse.

Classical modality does an equally important function: It assures the perseverance of will that is perspiration. Therefore, the conventional significance of Magick of subduing the individual will to the True Will. Creative person's ego needs to be tough willed so as to be lasting and must be in a position to handle the concern associated with the unknowing, quantum jump within the new.

An innovative experience is amongst the few periods when we straight away taste quantum modality along with small or zero time difference. This is the interaction with the basic process knowledge that generates the elation, the ha ha, and the innovative action of realization of self. It can result in individual's transformation of one's purpose of living.

During external creativity, quantum jump allows us to see an exterior problem in new light. In internal creativity, quantum jump enables us to remove ourselves from recognized patterns of conduct, which in totality comprise of what we know as character. The internal creativity means trans-personal experience, the doubt of being further away from the ego that leads towards stasis which is deathlike.

Therefore, for internal creativity, one cultivates and practices consciousness of one's conditioning, realization of internal development possibilities. Change is a process which is ongoing, always describing a context which is even more compassionate for us. Realization starts the shifting of individuality to the quantum atman, understanding a new identity for oneself.

Innovative quandaries, similar to Zen koan, increase a bind which is double that, breaks up our ego to enable a third state of emptiness which is unbiased, where the likely group of choice is increased to creative dimension. Quantum waves of our brain amplify and are willing to accept responses which are new.

There is no individual existence or no self nature, in both the subject and the object. The only reality is consciousness, but then, how can we understand it? What is there prior to collapse? The hierarchy which is tangled, the innumerable disorderly oscillation of no yes answers.

The wonderful experience of meditation is the archetype joy of our consciousness in the purest form.
