human perspective: the only good in this world
Human Existence
Human Existence and Free Will as Universal Wave Structure in Space
Jul 10th
As a freshman student of WSM I am focusing on the topic of the title the next week or so:
http://www.spaceandmotion.com/Philosophy-Free-Will-Determinism.htm
Wave Structure of Matter describes a finite universe in an infinite space, which is a medium for the transmission of energy by quantum wave-dynamic, as the fundamental structure of all matter. All matter everywhere in infinite space has a finite spherical universe around it, which determines it directly, with radius, R. All matter is always in the exact center of its own finite spherical universe. This is called the Hubble Universe. For every clump of matter less than R distant from each other, their Hubble universes overlap incompletely but when they are beyond R distant from each other, their Hubble universes do not overlap. The significance of this follows …
Within every Hubble universe matter reciprocally determines the nature of all other matter because they mutually reverberate (fundamentally as actual standing waves) in (infinite) space as 3-D matrices consisting of 3-D points (each analogized as a quantum particle) each point being where many quantum energy waves each originating in all other such points along the path of its transmission, all moving at the speed of light in all directions in infinite space, cross each other … in this way all matter sharing some of their Hubble universe can “sense” each other.
Questions here for me 1) about the most fundamental relationship between the standing waves and moving waves, or is it an abstraction only? 2) What are the energy quantum wave transmissions (if any) under the horizon of light?
Some of this energy transfer is direct. Some of it is indirect. Transmission of energy through the wave structure of infinite space is minutely incomplete, as if there is a very slight spatial haze, which is the reason for the finiteness of Hubble universes. Clumps of matter in the infinite space are less visible to each other the closer the distance between them gets to a distance of R. They are blind to each other if they are further away from each other than R. However, a very small amount of directly invisible information does get through indirectly, both from beyond R and the shielded information closer than R.
… so I will more widely consider the historical philosophical questions of Free Will, Choice, Purpose, Morality and Human Existence and reconsider that mindstorm against the new question for me of finite information of the finite Hubble universe in the establishment of all existential energy (matter), being incomplete relative to the infinite information of WSM theory’s infinite space. The main question is whether this constitutes a non-deterministic window in general determinism.
I also want to hear Geoffrey Haselhurst’s position on the question of why the universe is mildly teleological (has purpose) against my view that it is only teleonomical (has only the appearance of purpose to us). I want to know if and how Geoff translates this appearance of human purpose into a characteristic of the fundamental structure of the universe. What is the relationship between free will, choice, and purpose, etc? How does Geoff differentiate between direct and indirect transmission of existential information? What is his view of the mind-world dichotomy?
Our Shamanic Split
Feb 17th
Phalanxes of shamans
held dear the bursting glare of Ra
and the radiation of that light
unfolded Hades in projection
as everlasting pain
Until not so very long ago,
in the flow of time
muse Plato added to the myth,
“chained we are, backs turned
to raging fires on the floor
unlike gods we only see
shadows moving on the wall.”
Plato furthermore proclaimed
that we cannot see
“The Beauty of the Forms…,”
yet they are there
as sure as gods are there
this I know my dearest friends
it is all but life like burning flame
in the simmer of the peacock’s tail
and the hollows in our hearts
to where the shadows split
to “us as all” and “all as us”
adrift in cosmic passion flow
consuming in its artificial bowl
the little human left
Note on the last verse:
… with Aristotles’ subsequent Shamanic claim that, like the supposed gods, we can indeed know “The Forms,” the shadows described in Plato’s Shamanic mythology ironically took the virtual form of the imaginary Forms.
Machine Romanticism
Feb 1st
If you are not a thinking man, to what purpose are you a man at all? ○ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Consider the immediate cultural background of the 18th century romantic, Coleridge: His Romanticism, as evidenced by the quote, is only tokenly a negation of the 17th century notion of the thinking man, by which instead “the thinking man” to him means the well-rounded, progressive man, or modern man.
Reason:
Coleridge still favors the notion of mind-body duality and implicitly the misconception of the superiority of Reason over Emotion, starting with Descartes in the 17th century (vs. the more practical Montaigne of the 16th century). Wrong for human life in my opinion, because the thinking human mind is not close to being capable of considering enough variables to know what is happening to humanity in the resulting proliferation and acceleration of late civilization’s organization and technology.
Emotion:
The main thrust of Romanticism was to soften and thereby validate the hard rise of scientific certainty and industrial revolution. It effectively introduced artistic or symbolic release of our emotional human nature in facilitation of the newly emerging hard-rational endeavor. Romanticism was not an effective movement to abolish industry. So Romanticism and Rationalism still work together today to push humanity hard into and through technological singularity.
p.s. This apart from Coleridge’s musing apparently excluding woman.
The purpose of being human is to be human = human existentialism. 19th through 21st century existentialism or humanness qualified by “thinking” and “(individual) progress” is not human existential. It is machine-existential.
Albert Einstein, Shaman
Jan 23rd
It is revealing that many shaman gurus want to take time out of their construction of civilized reality. Fantasy, non-material “reality,” and untimeliness are the mainstays of shamanic hegemony. It removes responsiblity from authority.
I don`t recall Einstein ever being a shaman… – Leon Loots
Thanks for pointing Einstein’s perception of “the moment of now” out to me, Leon. It is central in understanding that science is as fake or at least nearly as fake as god/spirit faith. But why be so literal? Of course Einstein was shamanic, to you implicitly and to me explicitly. He was part of the delusionally concretized reality we now all share. The most shamanic of these are the most secular minds bent on abstractions like, “knowledge,” “economic growth,” “productivity,” and “progress.” To be civilized is to marinate in the axiomatic delusion of shamanic mendacity. The way the “civilized” human machine mind thinks has nearly nothing to do with human existence.
I fully understand that Einstein was right that universe-existentially, time is of no consequence. It does not matter to the universe which forms exist, human or otherwise. This misappropriation of specific existence in the seduction to ultimate abstraction is the essence of shamanic delusion.
Fairytales are Fantasy
Jan 18th
Imagining non-existing certainty leads to delusionally identifying ourselves with everything. We can feel certain in the fake reality of imaginary abstraction. It can be whatever we want. We can identify with god/cosmos/abstraction to the point of thinking we are standing in its stead. We imagine becoming it. Demanding certainty unlocks infinite potential and blindly accelerates the change of our environment which equals human extinction. If not by violent death directly, then through transhuman replacement. Only believing in human existence can sustain human existence.
Looking for certainty drops us into infinity because nothing is certain but infinity. Infinity exists only in fairy tales.
If we are mortal, imagining and wanting certainty is not innocent. It is utterly delusional and fatal to our species. Imagining certainty forces shamanism to sell the lies of immortality, permanence, timelessness, universality, and abstraction as sacred and the particular, concrete, transitory and practical (at human-existential level) as profane.
Therefore civilized reality is a fatal fairytale. It is an atrocity. People actually believe in God because He is supposedly Permanent. He is Permanent because shaman fairy tales have from the very rise of language made us believe in certainty. This whole process, through the primitive rise of tens of thousands of years since fluent language, and thousands of years of civilization, is the machine and human extinction pulling itself up by its own bootstraps.
The human search for existential certainty through abstraction of language inevitably slips into the ultimately universal extreme of the term: language inevitably makes us believe in the existence of the universe instead of in our own existence. Sadly, humanity not recognizing these kinds of natural ontological distortions of evolving language is destroying human-existence and achieving the opposite of human-existential certainty.
We Are Eating Our Children.
Sep 29th
Humans are like animals. Our existence is like the existence of animals as animals: as human animals. Every animal species instinctively gravitates towards its own species. Yet we are animals who have simultaneously evolved the soft belly open to the most obscene mechanistic manipulation in our ability to imagine and to use language fluently and tell the tallest stories about our origin and nature. Our human ancestors who could learn to use language fluently, outcompeted, killed and sexually deselected those of their own species who couldn’t, and in the process, also their potential offspring.
By now we call ourselves anything in between “innately sinful” to “divine” to “only human”, to “amazingly intelligent and creative” to “unity consciousness.” Anything whatsoever “to get it done,” and it reflects in the infinitely paradoxical language of unity consciousness gurus and in the form of dialectics across all populations in general. That is the problem. When we tell stories and we neglect to deliberately use that ability to maintain the integrity of our species, simply in terms of our species existence, the default is our rapid total extinction as a species.
The cosmic-conscious, god conscious, unity conscious Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Humanity is now so far gone in the burning creativity of the variety of rubbish spewing out of the filthy mouths of civilization’s shamanism, both East and West, we don’t seem to care anymore. We have soft artificial intelligence. We are steeped so thickly in machine mind singularity there is barely any human left. And why? Because the enlightenment guru and the wise do not neglect analytical discrimination or diversity when the unity vision dominates. No, analytical complexity accelerates in unity consciousness, because everything happens in identification with “creation.” We transcend our human animal identity. Human identity is now way beyond human existence. We are literally embodied with imagining infinite creativity in simultaneous perpetuation of accelerating discrimination, diversity and complexity: or doing science in the name of infinity.
So in the ”final analysis” at technological singularity, while the machine extinguishes all human life forever, unity consciousness does not give a flying hoot if humans survive as humans or not. But do not believe me. Believe the cosmic conscious, god conscious, unity infinity conscious Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The machine eating our children? Not to worry. Be happy. It is ultimate. It is infinite unity consciousness. Forgetting yourself to become yourself. Being one with nature. Don’t you know?
From Human Dignity
Sep 20th
I am writing about the shamanic-mythological emergence of the sacred and the profane (and yin & yang), and the shamanic mythology of singularity of value, certainty and meaning neatly enwrapping that mythology of infinitely fickle dualism even as it emerges.
I am thinking about the terrible human opportunity cost of laying ourselves spread-eagled prostrate before the relentless competitive process of the universe and the systematic atrocity of measuring and cutting ourselves into categorical fragments against that singular benchmark of fantasy holism.
The machine is set up to produce human winners and losers in contrived competitive games now: heating up the mechanical process, and so ever faster sucking humanity into technological singularity. In fact, even comedians in their fake culture of releasing pressure are winners of their pathetic little mechanical game also. Winning means absolutely nothing in the context of the holistic principle of meaning making, value and certainty, namely “Spiritual Cosmic Presence,” a.k.a., “Love,” or “Divinity,” except that we are cutting ourselves into tiny conceptual slices and industriously feeding it to the machine.
I am FOR the intrinsic dignity of being human with every fiber of my existence.
The word, “dignity” relates to “value” “worth” and “decency.” I believe in human dignity and I abhor the endless qualifications of abstract virtual reality (subsumed in the fantasy of spiritual divinity) subjecting humanity ever more violently to the mechanical open selection process of the universe.
The etymology of the word “dignity” from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dignity
c.1225, from O Fr. dignete, from L. dignitatem (nom. dignitas) “worthiness,” from dignus “worth (n.), worthy, proper, fitting” from PIE *dek-no-, from base *dek- “to take, accept” (see decent).
When I am in nature, I do not identify with nature. I identify with my species. The source of humans’ real spiritual experience of nature is us. It is not some fantastic holistic cosmic divinity concocted in the minds of shamans. It is us. That does not mean, “We are it.” It literally means that our existential dignity is us.
I do not read motivational books for motivation. I sometimes read critically from motivational books to see how philosophical leaders think. For instance, this post is in some way the opposite of the message of the introductory passages of “No Boundary,” an older book by Ken Wilber. http://www.amazon.com/No-Boundary-Eastern-Approaches-Personal/ http://www.amazon.com/No-Boundary-Eastern-Approaches-Personal/dp/1570627436
The foundation of Ken Wilber’s extensive philosophy is the BELIEF that the spiritual joy to different degrees in all of us, is 1) a feeling of being one with the cosmos (nature) and 2) a cosmic force working in us. He says it is a Universal Presence, cosmic consciousness, Supreme Identity, unity consciousness from outside us that works in us and through us.
The idea of cosmic consciousness is not only most unnatural to human life, it is shamanic and pathological. The human-natural view is to say what we feel is sociologically human, and is not from the outside, except through eating, drinking, breathing and sensory perception.
We are not subject to Cosmic Presence, Love, Divinity or any other abstract concepts. Concepts are subject to us. When we delusionally subject ourselves to concepts, conceptualization quickly proliferates utterly out of control until we think nothing of thinking it is perfectly OK to kill ourselves, as in war or in transhumanism.
Civilization Stunted Minds
Jul 10th
The mechanical constrictions of civilization has human minds nearly completely stunted. What is the nature of this total mental imprisonment? It is the way we think: the normalized civilized mentality in subjective negation of human existence. We can break out of it. Only once we have escaped the mental prison of normalized insanity, will we be able to start our mental development as humans. Those who think they are highly intelligent, mature, educated, and/or successful are right that they are all those things, but not as humans. As machines. Sure they have human in them, but it is nearly unrecognizably suppressed, cut up and torn to pieces. It is going to take a huge amount of humility to overcome the systematic mendacity of the mechanical fiction that humans have created technology. It is going to take a huge amount of humility to overcome the systematic lies of the mechanical fiction that what little human remains is responsible for whatever is wrong and goes wrong. It is going to take a huge amount of humility to kick “God” and “Society” and the countless fictional symbols of authoritarian ethics out of the ivory tower.
Human existence is sacred.
