Synthesis of Exponential Processes as a Model for Awareness-- A Synopsis

The ruling force of the universe is simply organization and association of wave patterns into feedback loops and vortices that compete against each other, in patterns of exponential construction and destruction, in an ever-changing and complex manner analogous to principles in acoustic physics and fluid mechanics. Energy transfer and resonance manifests itself into complex structure systems, in our perception, based on balances gained and lost, and on the Quantum Scale, if the vortex of energy feedback is balanced enough, it can create the effect of a solid particle in our perception. Particles gain different features due to the different chains of energy exchange that led to their arrival, then interact with each other in a way dictated by the frequency of their harmonic resonance, and the degree to which these frequencies can be aligned by a common denominator, creating the effect of positive and negative charge, among other things. Energy transfer then resonates in a complex structure pattern based on associative symbol-structures created by the "minds" (I use this term in an untraditional fashion: stating that what we symbolically refer to as the mind is actually just balanced resonance at a given frequency) of different scales of feedback loops and interaction clouds collecting and dissipating associative and dissociative wave patterns.

For examples of the manifestations of the force of associative wave pattern organization versus disassociation resonating in complex symbol structure systems, one can refer to traditional concepts of yin and yang:

Light vs Dark (base energy)
Hot vs Cold
Low and High
Water and Fire
Air and Earth

These words are symbols used to describe dualities in different fields of interaction, on different telescoping scales of symbol structures in our reality. If we describe them in more mechanical terms, they gain more significant meaning for an analytical mind

Synthesis of Exponential Processes as a Model for Awareness: 

A Hypothesis on the Fusion of Physics and the Scientific Method with Psychology, Sociology, and a Redefining of the Common Idea of Spirituality.

(Everything is.)

In the process of understanding universal physics, one can start with an analogy to music. Music is of course made using sound, which is nothing but particles and energy interacting and producing a wave pattern: exactly what is going on all around us, producing the entire nature of reality as we know it. 

Imagine several notes (particles vibrating at different frequencies) playing at once- these particles, when interacting with each other, can take one of two paths depending on the frequencies they are vibrating at and what you are looking for. If the frequencies fit together in a way that a constructive cycle is produced, they resonate exponentially and harmoniously together and create a new, harmonic resonance frequency that is a result and a culmination of all the particles vibrating at different frequencies, interacting, then having a chain effect which has a certain level and type of complex signal feedback due to the hypersensitivity of all involved elements (each particle is a bit like a microphone and a speaker, with different levels of resistance- this is what transmits sound), which manifests itself as harmonic resonance at different frequencies.  If the original frequencies and/or the newly created harmonic resonance frequencies are not of a common divisor which makes them fit together, they will clash, producing destructive cycles that dissolve (in the perception of someone looking for a currently-defined kind of constructive feedback loop) into seemingly illogical chaotic noise, when in fact, in what is chaos in relation to one note, is simply constructive resonance toward a new and different arrangement of interactions, a new dominant resonance frequency, or "root note", sometimes destroying the original as necessary in the process and becoming a very complex but predictable pattern of waves, flowing in a sequence of events that will ultimately lead to a different harmonious resonance. In the universe, there are infinite frequencies  all around. Dissonance (frequencies working together destructively in a feedback loop) and harmonic resonance (frequencies working together constructively in a feedback loop) is happening everywhere, all at once. When weak dissonance occurs, the strength of the resonance of the at harmonic resonance frequencies will continue to seek a natural state of equilibrium, and will pull the discord in balance. If strong enough, the dissonant cycles will develop their own dominance and can dissolve these harmonic resonances entirely. There can be very dominant harmonic resonance frequencies, or "root notes", that resonate in extreme harmony. 

I propose that it is the battle of these forces: organization and disorganization on different scales, relatable to the description of the pattern of energy transfer above… construction and destruction, resonance and dissonance, inference and disassociation, love and hate, a sense of community and a "fuck it all world", that create the essence of time, matter, and the entire experience of human existence and otherwise. In this essay I will be explaining many misconceptions that are held in fields of science, population study, and amongst many religious people that when cleared (and an understanding of common ground is reached), can bring a lot of clarity to the structure of the universe, space-time and reality, along with our history and culture. I will be attempting to clear these misconceptions by attempting to describe in more scientific, testable terms certain ideas that we have applied certain definitions to, which have misled us in trying to understand what the words actually represent in practice. I will provide new definitions for terms for the sake of dissolving the need for conflict, and moving forward in study.

In the business world, one might hear someone refer to a project that has "gained a mind of its own." This phrase can be used to describe many processes in the universe. It's the nature of a feedback loop. In the business world, this is a result of different people working together, and their ideas culminating exponentially into a project which seems to have more control over the people creating it than they do of it. In this example, the people, who are isolated, silo'd in their understanding of the project as a whole, only play a specific role in creating the project and due to their lack of complete understanding. They can introduce weak "dissonances" into the equation, in meager attempts to control the beast, but the harmonic resonance created by the people working together has become more powerful than the will of the individuals, so they must submit.

Now one must realize two things. First, we, as human beings, are ourselves a result of an exponential culmination of harmonic resonance which has gained a mind of its own.  There is a reason we use the word "mind" in the context of that phrase. That idea is the entire essence of awareness, and exactly is what makes our mind what it is. This is the first term I will redefine, the "mind." From here forth, when I refer to the mind, I refer to this concept.  You can think a mind like a good spot on the resonance knob of an audio synthesizer. That knob controls the strength of the audio feedback loop, another knob controls the frequency of harmonic resonance. At a certain degree of resonance, It is not such a strong feedback loop that it feeds back upon itself and overpowers itself, it maintains a balance. Well, we are a sequence of events in a feedback loop pattern that maintains a certain level of balance, at a certain frequency of feedback. Our minds have the cognizant effect that they do because of their ability to synthesize events in their reality. This is a natural effect of collective feedback, and creates the experience of awareness (redefining "awareness" here). Secondly, and therefore, if that is the nature of our mind, then the constructive cycles created by the interaction of people, particles, planets or anything else, are aware in the same way we are, in varying degrees (Dissonance can make a "mind" more or less aware depending on the dominance of its harmonic resonance in comparison to to the level of dissonance). This is the thing that defines our mind. What defines what is commonly referred to as the "soul," is, in effect, our intuition. In the analogy to a synthesizer, think of this as the knob controlling the frequency of harmonic resonance-- The conditions our awareness manifests itself into, which control its reality. We experience it as our natural ability too feel the way things should go if we are able to remove all our doubts and simply let the laws of the universe control how our thoughts play out. Consciousness is simply balanced harmonic resonance at a certain frequency. If we define the mind and the soul in this kind of scientific and universal way, then all things, real and abstract, on every scale, automatically have "minds" and "souls" (of varying strengths) by definition, even varying degrees of willpower (I will discuss that later), and totally varying perspectives on the universe, resulting in alternate, individually created realities consisting of only what is able to be perceived the that unit of consciousness. Not only that, there are infinite levels of this: different minds on different scales, in telescoping realities, ultimately to the point that above all, simply as a result of the universe existing and interacting with itself, there is a single entity of awareness whose perspective includes all of time happening at once, and the universe exists as a timeless void in which that mind can explore all the different levels of reality simultaneously, at whim, and observe the universe as it pleases. Time both exists all at once and is infinite and everlasting at this level. It is infinite and everlasting because of the entity's ability to absorb all understanding, relax, and simply appreciate the universe as it exists: the beautiful symphony of all harmonies and dissonances interacting with each other. It exists all at once and is a single instantaneous moment due to the entity's ability to deal with the universe it experiences playfully, and experience its reality as it pleases. It can experience both of these states of reality along with everything else and in between due to its total understanding of what it is, its totally unique capacity to actually perceive the entire thing, and it can perceive it all because it is able to experience it in this way, (another example of feedback loop). Quantum Physics supports this at its core, along with other groups, in its view that on some level, all things are happening at once. The idea that there are different entities of awareness experiencing different levels of reality, or what some people refer to as "dimensions", based on the probabilities in their reality, is also not counter to Quantum Physics. Religion refers to the idea of "God" and gods, by many names. Both are actually ignorant of important facts, and both focus on one that the other ignores vehemently. Christians and other religious groups often deny that in our collective, human reality, it is actually gravity that is our dominant harmonic resonance frequency-- our "root note", our most direct and collective controlling force; and they also often deny that there could be other base realities (I'll explain these soon) at all, or anything else not described specifically in the Bible or other appropriate religious text. This is not to say that all religious people deny science, just that there has been a natural battle between science and religion due to ignorance and it's had a negative effect on many of its followers. Many Quantum Physicists, on the other hand (along with many other scientific minds), are atheists, and all atheists deny that anything besides humans, gravity or otherwise, have any level of awareness, consciousness, or desire. We've misdefined our own ideas of all these terms due to our own inability to describe them, but if we understand what they are we can make real progress. Gravity has been great for us humans, and to think that it has nothing to do with what makes everything so great for is is just ignoring the obvious. When we then apply the idea of a ruling force of the organization-disorganization spectrum to the concept of different base realities, being dictated by different "root note" forces like gravity, we see that what religions have called "God" is really just the highest telescope rung of reality and its consciousness, which uses that battle for humans to maintain balance in things like peace and war, valid confidence and insanity, a happy population and violent uprising, all kinds of different things that we've previously been unable to understand or define fully. And if it does that for people, and based on the overall balance of the model, it could very well be doing that for the consciousnesses perceiving realities controlled by "root notes" other than gravity. A vacuum is a state of flux, areas of space where quantum particles manifest randomly and dissolve into waves-- simply, here, electronic waves are in a state of disorganization between realities, which are independently controlled by different dominant resonance frequencies or "root notes" like gravity. We can gain a greater understanding of all these concepts individually, and move on to possibly develop technologies to transport our consciousness into a state where it can perceive these other realities, and communicate with these consciousnesses. Simply, we are all different awarenesses traveling through this timeless void, entirely because we lack a total and complete perspective on it. We can redefine alternate reality in this way. The only thing that creates time, and reality as we know it, based on this, is confusion (the process of going back and forth between organization and disorganization). A mind can also perceive this process as playfulness- this is one duality helping to create the feedback loop which maintains the consciousness of the highest telescope rung of reality. There is no reason that with the right critical thinking and community scientific research, we couldn't be traveling across time and between "dimensions" in no time, or doing things like communicating telepathically. 

This kind of thing is testable. It may seem unattainably complex, but if we thing of things of this fashion, we can develop a math to describe its rules by testing everything and every situation to see if it fits in with the model. Set up observing stations in offices, study history, science, psychology, sociology, quantum physics, even religious doctrine--- everything --- in a deliberate, honest, and studious manner, making inferences and comparisons between it all and developing a science based on the study of, and the math describing interaction (on every level) in terms of a spectrum between organization and disorganization. I will talk more about this later. 

Moving on, one can now can relate this idea to the cultural and religious concepts of the afterlife, as well. First, remember that time and reality are relative. Second, think of the mental chemical processes of death: our brain releases chemicals which cause us to hallucinate, which is the effect of our "mind" and "soul" (as described above) working together in free-flow. Then imagine yourself going through a final hallucination, at the time of death and think of what people have talked about in near-death experiences. In the reality/perception of the person dying, this hallucination can take infinite forms depending on the life they'e lived-- the different interactions they've experienced and how they've responded to that. If the person has lived harmoniously and has died at a time of extreme peace of mind, the hallucination can be an experience of seemingly eternal bliss, enjoying the beauty of the nature of the universe and submitting to its will. Christianity and many other religions call this "going to heaven." Alternatively, If one is in a state of extreme discord, one could experience this hallucination in one of two ways depending on how they perceive discord (how dominant their harmonic resonance is in comparison). If they enjoy it, they will experience that discord seemingly eternally, appreciating the power that destruction and death can have, and the ability it can provide for rebirth, etc. Religions refer to that as "hell," but often incorrectly suggest that it isn't exactly where everyone that ended up there wanted to be-- The afterlife is individualized and personal, a result of the mental processes that have culminated in their lifetime.. And one experiencing the total eternal bliss of peace with the universe does so either in a fashion that includes all its harmony and discord (in the case of "God", or in a fashion that includes the appropriate amount of harmony and discord to maintain balance with the consciousness and its life experiences (in the case of all other consciousnesses). This is the difference between confusion and playfulness- If the dying person opposes discord (is of weak enough harmonic resonance that discord has a destructive overall effect), but is in a state of corrupted mind, the hallucination will be unpleasant but incredibly short, and not much of an "afterlife" occurs. Upon completion of the hallucination, in all these cases, their awareness, as I have defined it, dissolves and becomes a part of the the cycle of renewal and ultimately the components and interactions form into new cycles of awareness, in the form of new people or any other level of awareness, including that of plants, rocks, social interaction clouds, solar systems, galaxies, even manifesting themselves in dreams. Some cultures have referred to this process as "reincarnation."

Cultures throughout history have been working together, making inferences and following resulting ideals in such a way that has led them to worship "gods" and refer to things like angels and demons, and all manner of the occult. To the individual trying to make sense of things in a more isolated, detail-oriented way, the fact that people follow such general concepts so fully will seem counterproductive. The point of view of the religious is one which opposes anyone who is trying to maintain a lot of control over their reality, and is overwhelmed by detailed information. It can be viewed by these people as an ignorant and purely functional point of view, due to its lack of attention to detail and its semi-isolation from total reality. But one must realize first of all that nearly all awarenesses are in semi-isolation from total reality, and then move on to try to understand the confusing nature of details and what religious concepts represent. They only represent the harmonic resonance created by these cultures working together, making inferences and following religious ideals. In the perceptions of these cultures collectively, since different levels of awareness create their own reality resulting from perception and inference, this is/was their reality (if not a bit ill-described due physical limitations on sharing of perceptions). Therefore we must respect the religious views of all cultures, as they have had a real and dramatic effect on the development of their realities. When it comes to different consciousnesses (those that are more collective in our perception and those that are more individualized), willpower can sometimes be strong enough that the mind and soul can exist in opposition. The mind has a tendency for synthesis of vibrations toward the dominance of the feedback loop, whereas the soul has a tendency to be subject to the whim of the various forces being synthesized. The mind will often go too far in the wrong direction, focusing on details, forgetting it has the ability to access the power of intuition. Alternatively, intuitive drive can overpower all logical thinking, and often we will overlook details crucial to any kind of real understanding. This can seem frustrating, but actually, the very thing that creates consciousness is the interaction between our mind and our soul (or intuition) -- while details can mislead in the short term, through long term association a feedback loop is created by this process. This occurs in our consciousness, as well as in the consciousness of all other cycles. 

People have used religion improperly for centuries, and that makes many people resent it. But one must realize the power of inference, especially over vast periods of time and within large cultures. These people may not have had the tools to understand the details of the concepts they talked about, but due to constant agreement and observation over centuries upon centuries, gained an understanding of many fundamental truths. Since our perceptions are limited, both personally and collectively, these individual religions can mislead one in a quest for an understanding of total reality, or even in trying to have a healthy respect for modern physics. But in the collective perceptions of the people that created these religions, every religion that has ever existed has been in some way functionally true for of the people that followed it, and that truth has bled over into the perceptions of the people and things they've interacted with, producing a complex cultural feedback effect that will ultimately build into a real understanding. Realizing this, one can become comfortable viewing different religions as source of valuable information and become quite intrigued, understanding that it is the act of working together, asking questions, seeking and providing honest answers, which will allow us to not be misled in our journey toward a truer understanding of things. Religion's stories on the experiences and intents of gods and otherwise will help us gain perspective on the history of conscousnesses besides our own, and how we relate to them. 

We must understand that if we want a total understanding of reality, which combines the detail-orientation of western science with the fundamental truths of the universe as a whole, we must attempt to make sense of what these religions, gods, etc are intended to be a metaphor for, and infer them with the metaphors presented in all other religious texts (keeping in mind the importance of the names of concepts and deities, different terms, and what they represent), along with concepts explored in science, history, psychology and sociology. We must make constant and relentless inference, between religions and with all fields of study, until everything agrees and we can gain a more universal understanding of the nature of interaction. We must do this as a population in the quest for universal knowledge, and we must do this as individuals, in the quest for real, actual knowledge, making sure to stay grounded in collective reality as it currently stands. 

Thankfully, there are people currently attempting to do this. However we must all work together to combine our knowledge, if we want it to blossom. This is true in the quest for universal knowledge, and for all goals in our lives. The only reason for isolation is to protect yourself from the isolated others. If we connect with people who are willing to share knowledge and gain power over dissonance, the defense mechanism becomes less  and less necessary. It is an exponential process which will grow if we feed it, and eventually we could understand reality on such level that we will be able to do things previously thought impossible. Astral projection, telekinesis, psychic powers, "spiritual channeling,"  and the like are only a few of the things that might be possible (I will work later to redefine these terms as well, for the sake of clarity). Maybe technology could explode and we could be able to use our phone to conjure up a 5-star meal before our eyes. It seems possible that we could perceive our collective reality so clearly that we are able to travel through time and different realities, living several existences at once, working these together to go even further in developing power over reality.

Now, I must revisit one very important point. Dissonance, destruction,  hate, all this, should not be thought of as the enemy. At least not entirely. Dissonance is the exact thing that creates existence.  Without it, the universe would be one, infinite, timeless void. Nothing would happen. Of course we could never make this happen, but if we only have people going in the direction of total harmoniousness, basically everything will just get neutral… or in more colloquial terms, boring as hell. We need a bit of opposition around to make things interesting, or else what is there to live for? This is what I meant earlier about how dissonance can make a mind more, or less aware depending on how it reacts to it. If you think of dissonance in this way, it just becomes another beautiful part of what makes everything tick. If we are of dominant enough harmonic resonance, the dissonance fits in with our reality just fine. We can take these kinds of sequences of events in many different productive ways. We can take them as a challenge, we can find humor in them and use them to introduce a playful element into our reality, and more importantly, we can use them to dissolve a system which needs to be dissolved in order for a newer, more functional system to develop. Occultists referred to this ideal as the "purifying flame," or "Sheol"… Different cultures have used this kind of process on personal level in "death rituals". The basic ideal here is renewal, or rebirth, results from death, making death a healthy and necessary part of life. Cycles that are distructive in the perceptions/realities of many minds can gain a mind of their own and develop a flow in the same way as constructive processes can, and be constructive within their own reality. They have their own awareness, and religion refers to these forces as "demons." In the same way that there is an entity of awareness that perceives the universe as as unified, infinite whole, there are entities which perceive the universe as a completely destructed aftermath of total chaos. Some misinformed religious people refers to this idea as "Satan," which literally means "the opposition. This is misleading for several reasons. Being that death is the result of destructive cycles taking over constructive ones, a force of disorganization is essentially in control of all destruction and death in the base realities, but that actually only a transitional phase between realities. A consciousness here is totally unable to explore reality at any level but his own, having deconstructed his own reality into complete disorder as a result of total, aggressive isolation. Awareness at this level is short-lived and hellish. Since "Satan" means "the opposition," we must assume that this is ineffectively attempting to refer to the consciousness of the "root note" force controlling the reality that is probabilistically opposed to ours. This being the case, it is counter to our functional lives to follow ideals that work in that reality, since we live in ours-- So religion, in an attempt to give us functional life lessons, has us focus on maintaining balance and peace in our reality rather than try to move in the opposite direction. This is respectable, but we can work toward an understanding of this whole process without dissolving our reality, so there's no reason to be intimidated.

When one considers all this, one must also consider the value of an opposing, "ignorant," or dissonant point of view in a discussion. Depending on those having a discussion and their goals (consciousnesses at different frequencies, in differing realities), the interaction between these different viewpoints can have one of two effects. Depending on the realities of those people and how their conscious frequencies align with those of the other people they are interacting with, opposing viewpoints can either amplify or clash with the process of gaining a full understanding of a subject. If the people are open and willing to listen to each other and truly attempt to communicate fully, the viewpoints can help the people gain a greater understanding of what their goals should be, even if it means they have to deconstruct certain elements of their reality in order to make that happen. If the people are too isolated and defensive, the viewpoint can have an overall destructive effect, sometimes making the entire debate process totally futile. The solution here is to make sure we keep a sense of humility about what we learn, understanding always that we do not know everything and everyone knows that. Also, It's important we wait for the right time to introduce viewpoints, or exposing our reality selectively and completely over time. If realities interact one point in time it may cause a clash, and if they do so at another point in time they may cause harmony, due to the changing nature of the universe and our realities. So as long as we encourage people to be open, are humble and deliberate in our quest for knowledge and consider the importance of timing, almost nothing can stop us from realizing our goals, save for the strongest forces of opposition. Against them, we must ourselves become a strong force of opposition, taking the action necessary to neutralize our enemy. Our will and desire, along with our doubts, will hold us back in the short term, but they are also a part of what creates experience, and the drive to do anything at all. The nature of willpower (or free will) develops from our capacity to "want" things. Without desire, everything would just fit according to plan and we'd have no inclination to do anything but just that: follow the plan. But, as stated, a harmonic resonance frequency naturally seeks a state of harmony, and the force of exponential destructive processes opposes this by nature. As a mind develops awareness, it also develops its reality (as it knows it). What person or consciousness "wants" is simply what happens to align with its individualized reality either harmoniously or destructively depending on which kind of cycle the mind is most caught up in.  So in this way, at the same time, we both have free will, and are entirely subject to the whim of various forces. They are two perspectives on the same experience. 

Now I will talk about why there are those two perspectives. This comes from the misconception of what "we" are, and what "control" is. When we are thought of as mystical, unexplainable ghosts in meat bodies, we tend to think we are affecting this physical world through some kind of magical telepathy that tells our brain to send electrical signals, and through that we have control over it in the form of "free will".. some kind of mystical force that makes it where we can do what we want but not really. Oddly enough, both religion and science seem to hold this view. When we redefine all these terms, making it clear what they refer to, it becomes clear that "we" are a culmination of various forces, and "we" effect those various forces as well as a result. So it's not that we have no control, it's that we had a misconception of what control is. 

So, to conclude. Ultimately, the lesson in all this is that all levels of reality are in fact a reality, and that in order to live life to the fullest we must learn to use the power of inference, positive thinking and communion to realize our true potential. Remembering to keep a playful attitude about life without letting too much destruction or construction take total control of who we are. In a universe of expanding reality, anything is possible.

In the following weeks I'll be writing essays on different scientific concepts in relation to religious stories and what they could represent, and making all inferences I can. Please provide any comments you can, and help make total reality, well, a reality. Eventually this will all be synthesized into a book. I will share all profits with the community, donating to various charities and using the money to work toward good.
