In The Beginning
Was the Intentional Field, God. Later or dependently, was the Substance Field, which became the Universe as God intended. God’s intention was to remain in the middle (a strange attractor). Following our intentions, we created us. And each of us is a piece. This part of Snapdragon is almost certainly a delusion.
God is an intentional field and we are particles in that field.
We make choices, we remember the result.
We see patterns, we make decisions.
The black hole at the edge of the Universe and the many within. Are we inside? The incoming expansion.
And what of Energy? For now I say: it is a property of Substance. It comes in two forms: static and dynamic. Electricity is a property of matter, magnetism is a property of matter in motion.
For me a key: action. And Bayesian Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory.
We have free will, we don’t have to do as God wants: he can offer another. From the chosen, choose; from choice to chosen.
Let go, and find something new.
Hang on, and create something new.
Evolution
Evolutionary path, notice the pattern as well as the affordances.
DNA: does it contain information? Yes, about interacting with the environment. It has learned over time. This is the meaning of evolution.
Life may be an emergent property of inanimate matter and consciousness may be an emergent property of life
We just temporary emergent vortexes in space.
There seems to be a progression:
-
Intention: in the beginning, attractors
-
Relationship: connections (leads to life)
-
Life: in the middle
-
Boundary: allows replication
-
Consciousness: allows choice: patterns, affordances
-
Cooperate: evolve, leads to spirituality
Life in the middle, cooperation is the way.
Consciousness
There is an assumption: consciousness causes action. Conscious will is assumed. I am beginning to see it more like glasses: it allows us to experience our Will and evaluate the results of our actions.
In my view, whatever consciousness is, it can be detected, measured: it affects the physical processes in the brain. For various reasons, I am led to a field, perhaps quantum field, theory.
Consciousness may:
-
Arise from physical matter
-
Be received by physical matter
In the split brain, the right side is quiet experiencing, the left side is interpreting.
The conscious self is a bulletin board, a meeting room, for the Sankara’s
We evolved to be able to think and make decisions.
Only life can say no.
We are a self-organizing dynamically stable process, a verb not a noun.
Consciousness, Awareness, and Knowing are different things.
Information is stored, remembered, and can be factors in decisions.
A lot is chance, a lot is choice. From the chosen, choose; from choice to chosen.
There is the interpreter, there are the Sankara’s, there is consciousness.
Action
The word action has a lot of baggage: advanced action, least action, and so forth. We need to be careful not to get lost in the word itself. Yet we also need to see what is buried there.
The collapse of the waveform occurs when the future meets the past to cause the present. Now is all there is. In the now are particles that are free, particles that are bound (entangled).
Action is a key, relationship is a key. We are riders, we are deciders. I am being guided.
Intend to pattern, intend to attractor
Moving past Unity and through Duality, Trinity appears. All else follows.
An Attractor is a state or behavior toward which a dynamic system tends to evolve, represented as a point or orbit in the system’s phase space. Life is a dynamic system that can intend, life can move away from its attractor.
