Mosaic Representation of Synthesis of All Senses, Feeling, and Thought

Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.
William James

All credibility, all good conscience, all evidence of truth come only from the senses.
Friedrich Nietzsche

We should realize that touch is not simple skin pressure but a grasp of all senses at once, a kind of tactility.

The Seeker finds the Key which opens the Door to
Supposing the journeys end, discovering just
Beginning as sight unfolds ideas and
Beliefs are shed as
Sun burnt skin peeling
Revealing
Layer upon Lyer of organically

This is my forum, my medium through which I will convey various images. These images, these ideas, are designed to promote active strategies to detect and heal a dis-ease that I see afflicting all the world''s people. I call this dis-ease Image Sickness. The strategy for detection and healing of this dis-ease is attending to attention until a total synthesis of our fragmented awareness is grown. We have specialized our attention beam to focus on narrow slivers of all that is in the universe. At any one moment we attend to a limited set of possible movements. Typically in my cultural (American) people focus habitually on images either directly or produced by word connotation.

The images I convey are themselves illusions. Although I must use words, or image connotators, to communicate to you they are themselves illusions. Some off them are new and some are ideas that I feel that are helpful. Ideas or Images can be useful tools, but very often overbalanced focus on images leads to the general neurosis and fear, pain, depression, all expressions of image sickness. Any idea used consciously and non-habitually is a tool. Any idea that is habitual and compulsive is a demon, a slave master. And we are the slaves, elite to poor. This condition affects even the most powerful and wealthy individuals. The reason the elites do what harm they do is because they are themselves suffering. We must all have compassion for each other rich and poor, black and white, intelligent and simple. For we all have been hurt and suffer.

All essays on this website are to introduce and define a vocabulary that I will use to illustrate my core philosophical contribution: Synthesense. Please click on the links as you read to understand the concepts I am weaving together.

What is synthesense? The integration, interweaving, synthesis of all supposed unique senses. American culture is dominated by visual imagery promulgated by habitual auditory belief and expectation. Synthesense includes sight, hearing, tactile impressions, smell, and taste. Beyond these senses we have secondary senses that are more abstract and stem from the flow of physical sensations. Feeling arises naturally from perception of any sense. The sense of smell seems to have a profound connection to feeling and memory. Thoughts also resonate into consciousness when we sense physical phenomenon. Feeling and thought can be said to be complicated organic senses. If thought was thought of as a sense, and self-honesty prevails, the consequence of such behavior can be a direct comprehension. Feeling can lead to compassion. The only thing we have that can never be taken away is our felt presence of body. Our attention of ourselves.

Now lets list the senses so far: sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, emotion, feeling, thoughts(idea imagery).

Now we integrate these senses in different ways. Some people are visually dominated sensory people, and others are tactile, or auditory. Some people feel strongly and can express those feelings, and others are profound thinkers, dry, cold, and clear. People generally choose to focus on one aspect or another at the expense of the other at an early age. Usually this is encouraged by parents. Girls are supposed to feel and guys to think. Crossing conventional boundaries often leads to conflict with society. In addition we are exposed to a overwhelming vibration of fear which is propagated by society itself ( and that includes you!). Fear is the mind-killer. Fear freezes your sensitivity and attention to possible corrective actions. Although is serves a proper function it is only a useful tool when it is in balance with your entire being, and I believe we only need it in rare, momentary situations.

What I am trying to express is a growth of an awareness which attends to all aspects(vibrational levels) of sense perception, simultaneously. This requires discipline of attention. Attending in awareness to all senses. Although there is a multitude of senses you have but one attention. Attend to this attention. Develop understanding of all levels of sensory input. Might it be possible that all senses including thought and feeling cease to be separate patterns, perceptions, and objects and become one grounded movement of being and becoming simultaneously. The mind as an organic collection of multi-celled organisms working together to form a synthesensitive sensory lens. Even the natural defense mechanism which we all create to protect ourselves from each other....The Ego....is a useful tool synthetically integrated with all vibration levels, body, instinct, feeling, compassion, expression, thought, vision, Oneness, and upwards in organic integration with Earth to Galaxy to Universe.

Each piece of knowledge, idea, memory, and belief are in a way a medium which extends sensory capability. These pieces of mental software patterning are natural technology extending out of billions of years of advancing growth. For hundreds of thousands of years human beings have been evolving natural technology; some consciously and some unconsciously. The terrible suffering of the world is due to incredible ignore-ance and unconsciousness(inattention) to the constantly developing situation. Synthesense is a strategy to consciously attend to the total field, what I refer to as the Unified Field, as it constantly changes in order to experience Joy and create an ever expanding sphere of problem solving (reduction of suffering).

Sense how the physical environment instantaneously affects the internal consciousness. You are directly integrated with the world as you move through it. Invisible energetic fields constantly blend in new concentrations. There''s nothing mystical here. This is physics. Atoms flow into and out of your body constantly. Electromagnetically flows weave tapestries connecting everything, everyday. Is it possible for a mind to develop which is aware of the Unified Field without fragmenting it into pieces and cognizing through a process which takes time? One moment, total comprehension to your physical limit.

Sometimes our sense of inner image medium, ego, which is out of proportion to the extreme. Attending to a narrow slice of the Unified Field results in imbalance and dis-ease, and image sickness. The hypnosis which results is devastating.

We always are attending to some one aspect of everything around us. We are always looking for something. We are not simply looking. This type of looking, of attending to attention is not attempting to find any thing in particular. This looking is simply sensing all that is, simultaneously. The word simultaneously is erroneous because all is one and so this type of looking is focused on one thing; All That Is. Looking for something in particular is sometimes a useful tool but it has severe limitations. Attending to what is real, Oneness, is synthesense. And this Oneness is attending as you are of the Oneness. So All-That-Is is one movement of attention. Multiversal Awareness.

When one disciplines one''s will to attend to attention a curious state of being develops. An internal feedback loop is created. One is detached and merely observing the mind and one is also intimately involved with the total being including feeling and thought. Sensitivity increases as well as the amount of feeling. Attending to attention is also to move with Oneness, the ocean of awareness , so no resistance, no dissipation of energy. Inattention is like friction, it''s resistance to the movement of All-That-Is. This decreases the amount of energy in motion, emotion, through your body. Unnatural fears lead to inattention to reality and then to lack of energy and low emotions.

Where does energy dissipate to from one''s inattention? As is physically sensible there are concentrations of attention (life, matter).

Attending to All-That-Is, the mind can jump between diverse areas of thought and action at ease. One moment one is writing then in mid sentence, jump to planning a house design, then back to the writing as if one never stopped. A neighbor arrives and you attend to discussing the days events while visualizing several locations to plant an Agave ferox. In the flow to writing now.

Obviously every combination of sensory apparatuses such as our human body, instruments (telescopes, mass spectrometers, and other scientific devices) have limitations. We cannot attend to every aspect of the entire universe in one moment. What we can do is use all the tools we are equipped with simultaneously. We have many tools at our disposal. Technology evolves at a exponential rate. It is increasingly possible to sense more and more of the unified field (multiverse). The evolution of culture is a story of expansion of attention. Look at the sphere of Isness (multiverse) that we now cognize and objectify. The diameter is billions of light years in diameter to the Plank length (1.616252(81)×10-35 meters.), much smaller than an electron. The scale of vibrational patterns is available for attending. High on the mountaintop it is possible to see the entire horizon of existence. Is it possible to focus our attention beam wide and narrow simultaneously? Yes.

Synthesense is an attempt to synthesize the age old philosophical duality of being and becoming. Oswald Spengler describes them well, "The become is experienced by learning...the having-become is for the human mind identical with the completed act of cognition. A becoming, on the other hand, can only be experienced by living, felt with a deep wordless understanding." The become is knowledge, past senses and learnings, abstracted into systems and symbols. Becoming, the present, NOW, cannot be ascertained by previous knowledge it must be felt, sensed before any useful knowledge can be organized. The message here is that an equal share of attention must go to the felt presence of now, as goes to the useful past knowledge and formulations. Synthesense would treat awareness of and attention to knowledge as a sense, present here and now. Gestalt.

In addition to all these senses we also have a dim sense of the movement of time. Since Einstein the leading edge of awareness of the world-around includes 4 dimensions as one unified spacetime. How this awareness integrates with our consciousness is the question. We attend to memories, the present, and future possibilities simultaneously in our complex unified mental world image. It would seem that a simultaneous awareness of time might be budding in our total awareness.

If quantum physics holds as a viable scientific theory then an awareness of possibilities is an awareness of possible quantum states. We may be on the dawn on consciously creating our reality in tremendous ways. It could almost be the Midas touch. Anything you visualize could become actualized. Conscious control over ones visualizations would then seem to be prudent. What if this world is already like that? What if you are creating the world's condition, should we not take responsibility for our situation?

Insight is not an act of remembrance, the continuation of memory. Insight is like a flash of light. You see with absolute clarity, all the complications, the consequences, the intricacies. Then this very insight is action, complete. In that there are no regrets, no looking back, no sense of being weighed down, no discrimination. This is pure, clear insight - perception without any shadow of doubt.
Jiddu Krishnamurti

Magic Men are arising. Our own unique native american visionary culture is forming, not by the conscious efforts of individuals, but as a natural consequence of land on our consciousness. It is inevitable. We live in a exciting time, technology, all races, all ideas, are synthesizing before our very eyes. The Industrial mind-frame is giving way to the Electrically organized Information era. The philosophy of Synthesense is an attempt to report and create discussion on this evolving world-wide phenomenon.

A point of view can be a dangerous luxury when substituted for insight and understanding.
