The Revolution is Now

THE REVOLUTION IS NOW

 

O.K. so yesterday proved to be an interesting work shift. A co-worker whose been interested in my research talked to me about the movie I had loaned him -- Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh by Helena Norberg-Hodge. He said it made him feel bad and I said you mean guilty? He said yeah. haha. Anyway I mentioned I had met her and that he just needed to go deeper down the rabbit hole -- maybe watch Kung Fu movies! haha. But later we talked about socialism and the elections and the views of our families' politics and how this leads to irrational, emotional attacks in families, etc. I emphasized to him that the revolution is now -- that all of this is very superficial compared to the ecological crisis humanity is facing -- how literally what is happening has not happened on Earth in tens of millions of years and how reality should not be defined by humans.

 

Later on he was frustrated from his environmental activist work and came to me with the nonverbalized expectation of an energy shot. I've done this to him before -- "hold on let me charge you up." He sits there and we sort of look into each others eyes but sometimes the energy is too intense for him. So I asked him if he had taken those shrooms as his plan was last time we had chatted. He described the experience and how he and his girlfriend had nausea for the first hour or so but afterwards he was able to obtain a sense of deeper awareness and he found his analytic skills in using language were much stronger. I stated that I had repeated our previous conversation for a recent blog interview that will be translated into spanish -- Sr. Psicoplasma's blog. haha. Then I stated that "civilization IS a side-effect."

 

As my work continued -- in a part of the office where I am exposed to a lot of different departments exchanging information -- I continued sitting in full-lotus -- as the above took place. As Yogananda states about one of his gurus -- the full-lotus was "habitual" and so it should be. Later one young female worker asked me some question -- after realizing she didn't recognize me (my beard and head are now shaved). Another young female worker had just been asking my about what I said to a different worker weeks ago about music tuning and east-west culture. So I told her about the 12 notes along the outside of the body. Anyway the other young female worker didn't want to turn from my eyes -- my energy just flowed into her and she soaked it up.

 

Later another young female worker joked how the other one had been distracting me and so the one looking into my eyes exclaimed: He looks so calm sitting there and he shot energy into me! It's nice to have those affirmations of the energy exchanges of which there were several more that day at work, as is usual. Of course I deal with the "side effects" of civilization as "negative transference" but there does seem to be more of a "mainstreaming" of this energy practice.

 

Which brings me back to Richard Feynman. Another person I know in Minneapolis dropped out of his physics major after an interest in parapsychology (he actually hung out with Dr. Rhine at Durham). This friend who works at the local used bookstore -- he stated that Feynman had tried LSD in a deprivation tank of John Lilly but he hadn't discovered anything and dismissed it. Well today I happened upon Feynman's description and it was Ketamine -- not LSD -- but Feynman stated that when he smoked pot before doing a deprivation tank session then his "hallucinations" were much stronger.

 

What's fascinating about Feynman's analysis is that he's building on his previous mind yoga training where he had studied his dreams. He now equates his dreams with his hallucinations. He stated that to make sure he wasn't dreaming he would wiggle his thumbs while in the deprivation tank -- EVEN THOUGH HIS CONSCIOUSNESS WAS OUT OF HIS BODY watching himself from behind.

 

If you recall Feynman's dream yoga ended with the lucid dream experience of a metal rod rammed into the back of his head yet now his OBEs rely on also leaving through the back of his head. But just as with his dream yoga Feynman concludes that what we experience in OBEs are simple a byproduct of our subconscious thoughts and have no basis in "external" or physically perceived reality. The example Feynman gives is that he was trying to analyze were memory comes from in the brain -- how it's processed -- in contrast to a computer. He realized that his memory was guided by his sense of location -- when he just focused on a particular location then it would open up a series of detailed memories. So he finished his deprivation session convinced that this was the secret of how the brain stored memories yet he realized after 45 minutes -- that in fact that's a hallucination having nothing to do with the actual physical brain.

 

First of all we need to realize that in fact not all dreams are hallucinations. As the book "Taoist Yoga: Alchemy and Immortality" emphasizes -- the one dream that is physically real is the nocturnal emission. Secondly Feynman was relying on Freudian psychology but there is no Freudian equivalent for having OBEs or lucid dreams which leave through the back of the head - yet we do find this in alchemy.

 

So how do we resolve this problem -- the answer again is that the Revolution is NOW -- not "where." We find this again, just like Feynman's previous "triode" problem around the time of his dream practice, with another scientific experiment near the time of his deprivation practice. When Feynman was doing his dream practice he was also doing his triode research and I argued that the subconsious answer to his "dream" of the metal rod in the back of his head was solved through the "reversal of the pre-amp" (reversal of phase and therefore amplification of frequency) in his triode work. In this case Feynman gives his example of the perfect science experiment in contrast to what he called ""cargo cult science." The perfect experiment as he states, was ignored by other scientists because it "didn't discover anything about the rats." But the scientist did discover all the things you have to do to discover things about rats.

 

What's fascinating about this Freudian Slip of Feynman is that indeed there had been something discovered about the rats in Feynman's example of the "perfect experiment." What was discovered is that rats are extremely aware of small differences in SOUND. (it was one of those maze-food door experiments and the scientist had tried to hide the door by smell and vision -- to no avail). Sound was the "limiting factor." But here we have Feynman declaring that there was nothing discovered about the rats.

 

This is because Feynman himself does not give sound -- in particular the logical basis of sound -- enough importance. Feynman in his autobiography complains that math books had lost touch with practical science -- that there was a lack of word problems dealing with real physical situations. In Feynman's practice he stated that no matter what the physics theory he had to realize it -- test it -- in a real physical situation. Yet here's Feynman's Freudian Slip -- he dismissed the rat's keen perception of sound as a real physical situation. Not only that but the analysis Feynman did of his dreams and OBEs occurred as SOUND -- as language in his head. Finally consider the Turing Test of Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. Turing relied on the fact that Cantor's set theory is dependent on a MECHANICAL practice of creating diagonal lines -- in other words Turing was still relying on the logic of Cantor's set theorem as defined by visual, external reality -- whereas logic itself is NOT dependent on external physical reality, even though it still maintains a direct relation to it.

 

We can find further details on this secret by remembering again that the REVOLUTION IS NOW -- not "where" in physical sensations -- but the logical inference of the source of time. Normally in physics time is not questioned -- for calculus, Feynman's forte, time is an "independent variable" based on the assumption that it's measured as a "divide and average" division of space. In contrast, to refer back to Feynman's misplaced insights on how memory is stored in the brain, biologist J.W.S. Pringle has argued that memory is a function not of place in the brain -- but of time. Physicist John Eccles and neuropsychologist Karl Pribram both expanded on this, arguing that memory in the brain is stored as a function of time as a synchronized holograph.

 

The crucial function of a holograph, made from lasers, is the PHASE or inherent time of the space. As physicist Fred Alan Wolf states, "The amplitude of a wave measures its strength. The phase of the wave determines its rhythmic relationship with all other waves. When waves in phase add together coherently they form a single wave with dramatic strength." (p. 143, Space Time and Beyond). Now the technology of a laser still is dependent on a physical, visual, mechanical reality, but the concepts of amplitude and phase come from number theory -- the concepts of logarithms as time defined as "divide and averaged" space. But resonance, as constructive entrainment to create amplitude from frequency -- or coherent phase as amplitude frequency -- is not limited to "divide and averaged" time as space. In fact that's exactly the intractable limitations of science.

 

When a harmonic function is unbounded by space -- even a very simple one -- then it can not be solved by calculus. The harmonic series itself is diverging and as my research has emphasized, in fact the harmonic series violates the commutative principle -- the very same principle Feynman complains about being over-emphasized in modern math books. Feynman wanted to stay a "nuts and bolts" man but the quantum physics itself violates the commutative principle and so such an abstract concept has been proven to be of serious interest in physical, mechanical science.

 

So originally music theory, with C to G as 2:3 and G to C as 3:4 violated the commutative principle, yet also enables what would now be called a "fractal" -- something that can not be defined by reductionist science, yet is "self-recursive." The only problem is that fractals themselves rely on "divide and average" math using supercomputers to model. Now -- the natural resonance revolution is pure logical inference -- even not relying on Godel's definition of time as a function of space. Yet as the numbers resonate through the physical process of listening to the source of the I-thought -- there is a physical transformation, just like a laser -- the coherence of frequency creates a significant increase in amplitude. Only in this case the phase does not state as a function of squaring space -- space itself collapses to something even beyond time -- pure consciousness.

interesting...so in that last paragraph you're saying that searching for the source of the i thought effectively brings your consciousness more in phase, thus increasing the 'amplitude of consciousness?'

[voidisyinyang]

I could give you the short answer but instead I recommend reading Master Nan, Huai-chin's books: Working Towards Enlightenment and "Realizing Enlightenment"

[joeblast]

I've got them both, I'm about halfway through working right now...

[voidisyinyang]

Ok cool. I had to read them each 3 times before I got the basic concepts down. Last night we had snow again in Minnesota and the heat wasn't on -- I hadn't even wore socks outside! haha. Anyway it was late and I was tired of the full-lotus -- too much pain -- so I just practiced mind yoga which I haven't done in a while. I was amazed how much light and heat I could create with my consciousness focused in the center of my head -- just by focusing the I-thought -- seeking the source of the I.

 

Eventually those the source of the I-thought has to have the the reversal of the pre-amp -- or has to be stored in the lower tan tien. That's why Chuny Lin states 20 minutes of full-lotus is worth 4 hours of any other practice. Master Nan, Huai-chin's books are making the same point -- that zen became too conceptual, too mind-focused without body transformation.
