Inner VS Outer Worlds

This post will focus on the contrast between our inner and outer worlds. this really relates to the aspect of our experience which is known only to ourselves( IE thoughts and feelings) in relation to the shared external environment. To us, the seemingly objective external world seems orderly, and limited by the laws of physics( i.e. gravity, time, space). It seems as though it is operating independently of us(our thoughts). Our physical body is a part of this external world, and is able to interact with it. Basically the external world seems real, objective, and shared by all individuals(there seems to be a general consensus that it exists as it is). But when we analyze our internal worlds, the exact opposite of all these things are true. The laws of physics are completely irrelevant, along with time. Thoughts and feelings are abstract, fleeting things, passing into and out of existence  at times before we are even aware of them. Close your eyes are you can project any image you would like into the darkness. The internal world is limitless. Now if I relate this back to my previous post, as well as what quantum physics shows, it seems at though the internal world is more similar to the quantum world(spooky action at a distance, nonlocal phenomena, electrons exists in multiple places at a time). Now if we follow the current materialistic paradigm(that everything is material) we have to assume that this internal world is simply a phenomena of the brain. However, if we accept the idea that consciousness is more primary, it now becomes clear that not only do we have a direct connection to consciousness which directly affects the quantum world, but the activity of our minds is a representation of this relationship in the physical. Consciousness controls the material world, therefore we control/create the material world including our body, brain, whatever(the brain is an physical object just as anything else).  However, the main catch in this idea was talked about in the videos I posted with Amit Goswami being interviewed. We normally operate at the most superficial level of consciousness, that of our ego. The universe is collapsed into existence at the level of consciousness where everything is one( i.e. no individual ego), therefore in order to affect the material world directly, you must be in a non-ordinary state of consciousness. Here are some videos illustrating these ideas.

The Evolution of the Self

This blog is an attempt to both discuss the evolution occurring within myself, as well as the evolution I see occurring within our environment(the world, the hologram, people). These changes are not only a necessary step in human development, but also a necessary step for the development of the individual self and of conciousness as a whole.

Its first necessary to define the underlying principles which seem to be signaling this shift in perspective of the world and the self. First I will attack the very things that holds our world paradigm in place, that is, the ideas that the universe is made of matter, operates in a deterministic fashion(which our current materialistic paradigm suggests), that the principle of locality exists(communication can only occur through the exchange of signals and is subject to the universal speed limit, the speed of light), and  that consciousness is a epiphenomena of matter(known as upward causation). Here are several videos which disprove each of these principles, illustrating the need for a reformation of our current materialist scientific paradigm,

This first post is simply aimed at provided issues/paradoxes which develop within the materialistic worldview. It is less personal and more about laying the framework for future explanations of my experience. However I do want to discuss the basic implications of the double slit experiment as this is the one which truly opened me up to the idea of reality beyond the material world. What this experiment illustrates is that we as observers are necessary to collapse waves into particles, or in more basic terms, the observer is needed to create the everyday reality which we perceive as our experience of self and the environment. Without an observer, particles remain simply possibilities(when an electron is not observed it exists as infinite potentials, in all locations within time and space). This fact creates a serious problem for the general materialistic worldview which suggests that the observers are simply material themselves, as this would imply direct communication without the exchange of signals( i.e. the principle of locality is broken). What this experiment really shows is that that the universe is not made of matter, but made of consciousness. Consciousness rather than simply being an epiphenomenon of matter, is more primary, as is the source of the both the subject and the object in experience(i.e. the self and the environment). Another way of the looking at this is that the universe(including the individuals within) is actually a hologram projected by consciousness for the purpose of experience. I repeat, the purpose is for experience, this is the purpose of all existence. This may seem like a huge jump, but its a necessary one for understanding the implications of quantum phenomenon. Dr. Amit Goswami does a better job explaining in the above videos, in a logical seemingly scientific manner. I also recommend his book Self Aware Universe, his documentary Quantum Activist, and any of his other books. Like I stated before, future posts will have a more personal feel, specifically my observations and experiences which have, and are occurring in my ongoing transformation. I leave you with this, because of this information my life(and outlook of life) has completely changed over the passed three years. My anxiety about life is quickly dwindling, along with my fears. Most importantly my excitement for simply existing is growing exponentially. Basically I feel every experience Ive has come back to not only educate me about what I am, but most importantly what Im not and what existence seems to be. I feel very strongly that this information is meant for every individual and I hope it transforms their lives as it has mine. More details in future posts.
