Consciousness and Implicate Order

Virtual Reality

In the movie, The Matrix, there exists persons who have a computer device connected to their mind where he or she virtually enters another world, another realm, where they become totally and completely immersed and subjective in the sense that all conscious awareness of the so called "real" world becomes lost, the world itself now becomes part of this computer generated world, where now consciousness is completely and separately into this newly created realm alone. All consciousness of the "real" outside world, where the body and mind are connected by computer to this created realm by electronic wiring lacks all awareness where one is not conscious of, immersed totally in the generated virtual world, the Matrix.

And so I write of a different Matrix. In this Matrix, the subject is not a human, nor is the apparatus applied to him or her a machine of wires or of three dimensional tools in a three dimensional world, but a reality of another dimension, a different mathematical realm. Yet in each realm we speak about, a virtual reality is created - a dream world overtakes the subject into another world or dream like consciousness, which in turn can produce a further virtual world and so on, and so on . . . Like looking into the reflection in two mirrors that travel to infinity.

Regarding David Bohm’s Wholeness and The Implicate Order, Bohm relates the idea of the order of the universe acts according to quantum, where our world consist of measurable Newtonian physics, it is connected acausally to other casual worlds, each existing as a sub-totality and separate order, born or unfolding from one another and when dying enfolding into one another. These are teleological orders which are acausal to each orders, as in quantum order which exists apart from cause and effect physics found independently in each order. This is why we cannot determine the variables in quantum physics, which we can only observe from our order.

Now I find that each world, including ours, are simply matters of conscious awareness. In some of the Buddhist and Hindu schools of thought, the enlightened person is able to wake up, a realization of the self as an outside observer beyond the subjectivity of the world one lives in. Simply an active, increased conscious awareness. This explains the acausal relations in quantum physics, the idea of David Bohm’s enfolding separate realities, each one enfolding and unfolding into and from each other. Such realities are completely acausal to one another, yet each world of reality exists as an autonomous sub-totality. Within each reality, within each world, exists independently Newtonian cause and effect mechanics or atominism, within its framework.

The idea is that you become aware of yourself and yourself becomes aware of you. You become an observer of yourself and in a sense encounter a dualism and single existence simultaneously. In this simultaneous realization occurs a double realization identical to each other from another point in reality. A non-verbal, non-ratio-discursive connection or energy line is opened up and established.

It’s as though if you as a puppeteer, controlled your puppets - not on stage subjectively active, but above as both an observer and as an active participant from a higher level, controlling from this awareness. Here you could then enter the lower level areas of subjectivity, (in pain it seems we have no choice) while remaining in awareness from this higher objective standpoint in reality. This new energy flow or conscious awareness then in time recognizes that this world, this current consciousness, is a created virtual reality from a higher, more aware consciousness, which is also created from another virtual reality from a higher, more aware consciousness and so on to infinity. Each wake up enters into a higher awareness or higher realm, a higher wave or vibration of energy. Energy is what makes up all matter, even the spaces we perceive between and are the same energies or degrees of awareness in the realm of different levels of consciousness.

As in David Bohm’s enfolding and unfolding of dimensions of reality - our three dimensional into another dimensional, or the only determination (not proven mechanically) of quantum fluctuations are from orders of reality from other dimensions acausally connected in separate causal, measurable, Newtonian orders, existing as sub-totalities, which in turn, enfold or implicate while they create other conscious realities and unfold, or explicate themselves.

One consciousness level dies, another is born, one enfolds itself, while the new unfolds itself. This may be why each new level of conscious awareness is acausally or quantum-ly connected to each other, while each separate sub-totality level of each reality has it’s independent Newtonian or mechanistic - atomistic measurements and rational analytical makeup and structure.

To jump raised levels of reality is to wake up to the level you are currently in. Each jump is higher or raised to a perhaps a faster wave or shorter wave or higher wave of vibration. The theory I speak of then contains that the opposite of radical subjectivity could cause the loss of higher energy to the sinking conscious awareness in lower levels of awake. Either "waking up" consists in meditative efforts/non-efforts, as in Buddha's wake up call after his sitting 6 years under a Bodhi tree, or, if not, than perhaps it is only achieved upon physical death.

The Absurdity of The Causal World: Implications of The Acausal

Like the character of Ivan, in Fydor Dostoevsky's novel, The Brothers Karamazov, the idea of a higher intelligence, of God, is accepted, but the world itself, while loved, is not accepted, as to its sufferings and absurdities which invalidate the logic and science we so rely on to reason its existence.

"Well, this may surprise you, but perhaps I accept God," Ivan laughed. "I accept God plainly and simply. But there's this that has to be said: if God really exists and if he really has created the world, then, as we all know, he created it in accordance with the Euclidean geometry. . . . I have a Euclidean, an earthly mind, and so how can I be expected to solve problems which are not of this world? And so I accept God, and I accept him no only without reluctance, but what's more, I accept his divine wisdom and purpose - which are completely beyond our comprehension. I believe in the underlying order and meaning of life. . . . Anyway, you'd be surprised to learn, I think, that in the final result I refuse to accept this world of God's, and though I know that it exists, I absolutely refuse to admit its existence. Please understand, it is not God that I do not accept, but the world he has created." Fydor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov, page 213

While God to Ivan may be real, there is no answer to the world's sufferings. I would like to parallel the thought that since the causal world is an acausally created world from another, it’s rationality only goes so far, and in reality, in ends in absurdity, as in the evil and suffering, especially of innocent children. So even in our casual Newtonian world, it's acausal nature, it's existential uncertainty leaves us without security, and yet we perceive a "something" that connects in interdependence of unity lying beyond such irrationalities. In this sense, in the sense that humanity has lost its security, now a false certainty, Nietzsche can say that "God is dead."

The world is absurd! There is always underlying questions of suffering and evil, the suffering of innocent children as the ultimate absurdities. Theism and humanism only go so far and are the attempts at reconciliation between a world of beauty gone mad and a reality of logic, justice, compassion and divinity. But the answer lies not in a blind mysticism or superstitious faith, nor in a rational science, or rational God, nor in a theological pretzel, but in a causal world born from acausally, from a higher outside consciousness, independently causal within itself. In this I’ll have to contend with the Buddhist’s for now - wake up and enlighten yourself as an outside, aware observer, using subjectivity in fullness.

The Lucid Dream

What is a lucid dream? This can be answered in that you wake up inside your dream and become consciously aware that your dreaming while remaining inside your dream, not fully waking up. And yet you have woke up to the extent that you now are aware of the fact that you are inside of your dream, or awake inside of your dream - that your dreaming. So what is this? How can you wake up inside your dream without waking up completely to this waking consciousness? The idea here is that your awareness level is raised, but only to a relative point. It’s a matter of awareness of oneself as a separate outside observer - to what degree your awareness reaches determines the world of consciousness you remain inside of.

With the practice of projecting one’s consciousness through concentrative and meditative techniques, the energy line of awareness produced leads to the ability to project one’s consciousness anywhere he or she chooses. Only with balanced control and equanimity of the mind, the ability to maintain a still calm mind, one of both concentration and serenity, can this conscious awareness develop. This then sets the conditions for the development of psychic abilities and extra sensory perceptions.

You become aware of yourself and
yourself simultaneously becomes aware of you.

A Book Review on David Bohm's Wholeness and The Implicate Order:

A deep and enlightening book that ventures beyond the mechanistic paradigm of classical physics. I am not a physicist and as a layman, I found this book overall understandable, except the mathematical equations Bohm employs in areas of relativity, quantum computations and other physic equations of algebraic and geometric means. It really is a brilliant piece of work and not easy book to explain, but I can say as a novice, this is a superior work.

Bohm starts out with our Western fragmented view of reality, failing to see wholeness, thinking through our lenses of space, time, matter, mechanics, causality, contingency and so forth, as Kant pointed out how we categorize our perceptions. The notion we view in fragment is our illusion which cause confusion. It is our measuring net over reality that fragments it. While the Newtonian works for much it is also the fragmentation of our cultures, cities, religions political systems, etc. Our mechanics look for absolutes and any theory of absolute truths results in fragmentation, thus the differences between the atomic theory, the theory of relativity and the quantum theory into a form of reality that is moving, resulting in what he calls a undivided wholeness in flowing movement.

Bohm describes a language he calls the Rheomode. Basically it is the opposite of our views where language describes a noun in action. The Rheomode. describes the verb center of action. Rather than the order of "I" am typing, it would be, there is typing being done. Beyond all of the sequential order expressed in terms of our divisional language their is the movement of attention. Evidently, by our ability to perceive and understand is limited by the freedom with which the ordering of attention can change, so as to fit the order that is to be observed. There is allot more to this, apparently this changes our atomistic view, changes our world views of self and truth, by taking away the importance from our world views, removing the fragmentary breaks we project.

Bohm describes reality and knowledge considered as a process. There is something above memory and the mechanical process to reason in what Bohm calls intelligence. One might suggest that in intelligent perception, the brain and nervous system respond directly to an order in the universal and unknown flux that cannot be reduced to anything that could be denied in theories of knowable structure. There's an intense outlay between thought and non=thought, knowledge considered as a process, a free movement of the mind needed for clarity of perception, which contributes to a pervasive distortion and confusion of every experience.

Bohm believes there are hidden variables in the quantum theory, despite its indeterminism of the Heisenberg principle and Von Neumanns arguments and the paradox of Einstein, Rosen and Podolsky. In this he attempts to resolve, it gets a little heavy here for the layman in treatment of the quantum fluctuations.

It is here where the quantum theory is seen as an indication of a new order. While the theory of relativity recognizes continuity and strict causality and locality, a singular overall pattern of curvular continuous connection, the quantum recognizes an order measured in non locality in autonomous groups but not continuously connected, an undivided wholeness with separate groupings, the observer and observed become one, while separate, a holomovement where each part contains the whole in some way, a relative autonomy, different closed circuits of particles of autonomous groups.

The enfolding and unfolding universe and consciousness completely removes the Cartesian grid. It is the idea of a projected hologram from a non locality that enfolds into itself. From a void that contains all, a movement which unfolds in explicate order which enfolds in implicate order back unto itself. The electrons enter a different kind of state, in which they are no longer relatively independent. Rather, each electron acts as a projection share a non-local, non-causal correlation, which is such that they go round obstacles co-operatively without being scattered or diffused, without resistance, all so into a multidimensional reality There are infinite relatively independent sub-totalities which are abstracted, explicated as autonomous.
