Conscious versus Unconscious

Submitted by jackrabbit on Fri, 09/03/2010 - 16:46

Many people speak of their being two "minds" in every individual, the conscious and the unconscious. Waking-consciousness, our everyday life we call conscious. At night we close our eyelids, breathe slower and deeper, and sometimes our eyes flutter. Sometimes we remember confused images when we "awaken." In all honesty, most people experience confused images all the time. I don't see the difference. Nobody knows the whys and hows whether awake or asleep. From where does this division of consciousness arise?

Right now while you are sitting in your chair reading this article on your video screen there are groups of extremely intelligent future gathered together discussing your future. These people are paid by corporations, governments, and wealthy groups of individuals to arrive at solutions to problems which the bureaucratics who hired them cannot solve. At the highest orders of organization extremely complex and subtle problems plague the world. Overpopulation, hunger, education, disease just to name a few.

For some millenia now there has been a group of people often refereed to as seekers. In fact it is a archetype of Carl Jung's. A passionate drive for knowledge, then the observation of the frontiers to create new knowledge, then the creative practical use of this knowledge to solve problems is their modis operandi. Many people are and have been seekers who strive with tremendous energy.

I see all is one, or more correctly we see ourselves.
Am I separate from this computer on which I type letters grouped to represent visualizations I perceive to be in my head. This Quantum Mechanics ideas are really rocking the philosophical world. Infinite possibilities, yet some I and we, choose some one experience. Or do we? Do I see one thing and feel another?

That''s ridiculous because what I see causes feeling.

Centered

It starts at every point and
Every point a center
When does the apple stop being a
Tree?
Where does the sun end?
The End troubles us greatly
So much so in fact
Forming the first fragment
The Point is center of a whole
Fragments have no center

Cats

Anyone who doesn''t see that cats are intelligent, conscious beings has little perception of reality. Cats will converse with you all day if you would attend with them. Their large eyes have complex colored patterning pierced with the light of awareness. Their facial expressions are subtle glimpses to their subtle emotions. These are not human emotions, no, these are the emotions of creatures as old as we are yet having followed different paths. No human languages names will describe a cat''s emotions or thoughts.

Cats are sly and plan behavior in advance to execute small strategies.

Hero

Don''t fight forces, use them.
R. Buckminster Fuller

I look for what needs to be done. After all, that''s how the universe designs itself.
R. Buckminster Fuller

....there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. FOr the reformer makes enemies of all those who profit by the old order, and only lukewarm defenders in all those who would profit by the new order...
Nicollo Machiavelli

Hero today, Gong tomorrow
Ever-expanding waves of air vibrating through All

Quantum Clouds Collapsing

Submitted by jackrabbit on Fri, 07/09/2010 - 18:01

Where is the hard drive of possibilities which we can choose from to collapse into reality. How are possibilities stored or are they? I intend to explore the land of possibilities. Perhaps an intelligence unclouded by self or societal created images would sense this placeless place.

Quantum clouds collapsing consequently
Observation of your possible, thinking
Emptiness filling nothing with Energy from the Void
Yet much evidence in favor of heavy stuff
Observing the actual, a tremendous power
When emptiness becomes filled with everything
The purpose of life is purposelessness
