SCROLL DOWN THIS INTRO TO GET TO MY BLOG POSTS, THANKS.


Most of what I write about is a combination of both the natural world and the spiritual world and while I agree with most of modern science to date, I do think there is also a spiritual layer to reality.


Sift through the PAGES and POSTS for more interesting information guaranteed to make you think and question.


FYI:


#1 Nothing is No Information

#2 Something is Some Information

#3 NoThing is Infinite/Unlimited information


Be careful how you understand NOTHING to be and how the word is used when you read my pages and articles on the web. I hold that the true vacuum energy of our universe and of in fact everything is from NOTHING of Infinite Information, is dynamic, and full --not empty, stagnate, and of zero information.


All the information collected from this process of existence and life is also retained inside of the Nothing. Who knows how many times existence and life have happened. I don't think information is lost or destroyed, and I don't think it returns into a zero-information kind of nothing.


Both understandings of nothing look very similar. They are both undefinable, unquantifiable, immeasurable...but they are opposites. The difference between zero and infinity.


FYI: There is One thing all of life wants, even human life and that is the effects of LOVE.

What is nature doing?

 
Something very interesting to me:

It seems like everything conforms in nature. We can see this in physics and biology, and the more it conforms, the more structurally complex it becomes and the less functionally powerful it becomes.


Example:

Biology: the single cell can be many things, but once it is part of the heart, it acts as part of the heart only.

Physics: Atoms can become many things, but once they become a molecule and then matter, they are more restricted.

Virtual particles pop in, but if the particle is a quark the majority of virtual particles that pop in are quarks, though some might be other things like gluons or photons. But this doesn't effect the quark since the majority keep it as is (my understanding may be missing some info here)

But my point is that it seems like even in the most fundamental forms of nature, nature is busy conforming and the more it does the more complex in structure it becomes and as it does this the more it losses functional power.

Just something I've been noticing in patterns.

Nature and the Brain

We have seven sure intelligences according to Gardner. Mathematical, Spacial, Kinesthetic, Musical, Linguistic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal. I'm an educator and so these intelligence's are taught to us as teachers to better educate our students. 

SO, it is interesting we can find all those SKILLS in nature as well.

Our brain came from nature, so it is a reflection of nature. It should be able to give us clues into what nature is.

Our brains are wired to perceived random and non random processes. It is not that one side is creative and the other is logical. Both sides can be either. This is shown in recent studies. The difference is in how they approach the problems and perceive the world.

We also know nature is both random and non random. We can see in genetics and in mathematics, in biology, and in physics that nature has random aspects but also non-random aspects too. It seems things go from random to non-random.

Nature is also very mathematical! Is this a coincidence? Of course not. Our brains came from nature so of course our brain would be perceiving what nature is!

Let us look at the seven main intelligences.

Nature is mathematical. Our brains are wired for maths. Nature has space and dimension. Our brains are wired for spacial intelligence. Nature has sounds and our brains our wired for music/sound and patterns. Nature moves and our brains our wired Kinesthetically.

When we look at a particle spinning beautifully it has a kind of kinesthetic intelligence. When we see a dancer circle beautifully she exemplifies this same ability. Particles are also always moving. Movement is essential for nature to function.

When we look at how the universe is arranged we can sum it up mathematically and then we also have people who are mathematically gifted.

When we look at nature we see a universe of space and dimensions and everything around us occupies space and dimension and there are people who are very specially inclined and who can visualize spaces inside their mind perfectly.

When we look at nature we can hear sounds permeating from objects hitting each other or from the friction of something or spin of something and there are also people who are musically inclined to hear patterns of sounds well.

Is it any wonder that our human intelligence also posses these qualities?

What about linguistic, interpersonal and interpersonal qualities of nature?

We can see linguistics on a fundamental level in nature too when we look at the communication of bacteria or when we put a heartbeat next to another heartbeat and they conform to each other or how we have a quark and the majority of virtual particles that pop in are quarks (though some might be photons or gluons). There seems to be a communication on a fundamental level.

While humans use language, we can see all of nature has a basic form of communication from physics to genetics and chemistry.

We can see interpersonal skills in nature when we look at physics and particles having to interact with fields and when we look into genetics and see how the interactions have to interact with each other. Nature does have many inter-relationships on a fundamental level.

Humans have relationships with the outside world, and nature fundamentally has interactions with other parts of nature all the time.

Even with interpersonal skills we see in nature that genes duplicate themselves and even with virtual particles, because the majority of virtual particles pop in according to whatever is there -it seems it conforms-- there is a kind of duplication there as well.

While humans might have a good interaction with themselves, nature also fundamentally keeps a good relationship with itself by duplicating itself.


So, I just thought these correlations were interesting and wanted to share them.

It is also interesting that all animals have various intelligences and all these intelligences are reflections of what nature is as well, in my opinion.

The next question is Memory. We see memory is our conscious minds, in the conscious minds of animals and even of bacteria. We find memory in cellular memory in the duplication of DNA/RNA. Do particles, electrons, and virtual particles possess a certain memory as well?

Does memory exist on a fundamental level? This is important because how are our experiences retained if a Spirit exists? Memory or experience, if retained, on a particle level would be a very interesting finding. 


Further, when we reach the most fundamental form of energy that we are aware of today which are virtual particles, we find probability equations. Perhaps not actual space or time or a physical things, But a probability.

It is kind of like an idea in a mind. I have an idea and it has a probability of coming to fruition or not, of surviving or not. Perhaps when we say the Mind of God, it is a lot like the probability distribution of the virtual particle in some ways. I would say not in all ways, but in some ways.


Side Note:
Mathematics is ahead of science, because science is limited by what we can see, hear, taste, touch, smell —basically measure and so science is limited by our own consciousness, our own minds.

BUT Maths is not. Maths is not limited by experience or experiment which are limited by our own conscious experience and ability to measure.

MATHS shows us what reality is though we cannot use an experiment to show us this is a fact. But the maths must come back to us time and time again as yielding us the correct results, then we rely on them. In this sense, maths does it job for showing virtual particles exist; however briefly, out of the nothingness, the void.

In this sense, we can understand everything better when we realize maths is like our own intuitions. Our correct intuitions can tell us a reality. Someone I loved has just been hurt, killed. This guy or this situation feels really bad. Or I completely saw that coming. While we may not be able to justify our intuition with a real experiment or scientific method…our intuitions can very well be right —showing us an aspect of reality beyond physical measurable means.

So, should it surprise us that maths do the same thing?

Some aspect of reality simply cannot be measured by observation or justified by science. Some aspects of reality simply have to be derived in other ways,

Is science all knowing?

Our consciousness is invisible, it is immaterial and certainly we can study it and are getting somewhere. In my view, the spirit is linked to this.

I find it ridiculous that people think science shows there is no evidence of God and therefore there is not one.

Firstly, science to me reveals more about an all pervading, all knowing, illimitable, infinite, (spirit) the more I learn. The spirit aspect is which is not seen by science, but everything we learn about electrons, and virtual particles tells us all kinds of amazing things nature can do which we never would have imagined. Things like timeless electrons, 'knowing' electrons, infinite virtual particles/energy, illimitable virtual particle/energy.

I'm going to reduce this 'God' word to the spirit, since that is the word that makes most sense to me, not God.

Einstein did not agree with religions of the day, but he did say his religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable, infinite spirit. Spirit being the key word here.

Religions don't have a perfect model of the spirit, true! But science doesn't have a perfect model of nature either! One addresses spiritual while the other the natural. Neither have models that fit perfectly to what the reality of nature and the spirit are. The both ask different questions.

A spirit perhaps that pervades everything before and after the material or perhaps a spirit that is an echo of natural conscious energies itself.

When did science become all knowing? Further when did we?

What makes us think science shows everything about nature? Aren't there possible aspects of nature that science will never be able to know or delve into? What if the spirit is not supernatural, but that nature is simply another aspect of this pervading spirit?

If what is the most simple, most basic, most fundamental is in fact a spiritual energy and from that all material things came to be then the nature we are studying is simply a result of this spiritual aspect. In fact there could be other aspects of the spirit in which we are not privy to in studying just science, but only the natural.

By usual definition there is the spirit and there is the natural.  Science is talking about the material nature, not the immaterial aspect of nature which is spirit. Science doesn't see the immaterial or the spirit. But the spirit has been experienced by the immaterial consciousness.

Our consciousness is in fact immaterial. Our thoughts and emotions are immaterial.

Some say consciousness might be an illusion. I say the material is the illusion, the grand delusion. The whole material experience is a temporary fake. The only thing real is the immaterial.

God has to do something to exist? God is immaterial and basic just like our consciousness is both immaterial and basic.

What you believe has partly to do with where you were born? Many people change faiths as they grow up, and  people come to faiths because of their life experiences. But it doesn't matter what faith you are, because none of the models are perfect models of the spirit! They are all attempts like science has models to attempt to qualify the natural.

The point is in investigating it and learning it and figuring it out yourself.

Complexity and God

Complexity vs Simplicity: 
Explain what electrons do? they seem timeless and all knowing of what other electrons are, and What do virtual particles do? they seem to pop from nothing and have higher energy levels then in our existence of many somethings, and what does Energy do? Perhaps itself is infinite and illimitable? In fact, these are very powerful things and illimitable seemingly and maybe infinite. 

But they are not complex. 

This is the point of simplicity which I think Rowan is trying to explain. 
Before we knew of these things we might think something that is infinite, illimitable, knowing, timeless ---must be complex, but in fact it is very simple, very fundamental aspects of nature. 

The point is God is akin to this. It is the very basic. God is the all pervading fabric -not the structures that come to be out of the material in complexity; therefore limitless forms. BUT- out of the material complex structure we can find the consciousness which is a return to the limitless, boundless, infinite, illimitable God.  

Why does God have to be supernatural? What if nature is simply an aspect of God? What if the Spirit is an aspect of the consciousness which is the result of the brain and evolution which was inevitable?


What if God doesn't twiddle the knobs and is not complex. God is simple, the simplest form. Not bound by space-time and structure. I guess Rowan and the Agnostic have similar ideas.

The function of something does not have to have complex structure to function powerfully. We know this because of our understanding of nature now and so we know that it is in fact possible for something to be all powerful, illimitable, infinite and yet very simple- not complex.


There is the material and there is the immaterial. The immaterial (GodSpirit) gave rise to the material and the material gave rise to the immaterial (consciousness/soul/spirit). 

Is God Supernatural?

Why does God have to be supernatural? What if nature is simply an aspect of God? What if the Spirit is an aspect of the consciousness which is the result of the brain and evolution which was inevitable from the creation point of everything from nothing?


It seems likely that life would have evolved eventually in this universe and this universe would have been born eventually and something would have happened eventually from nothing and so we would be a by product eventually...so if a God exists, then in creating this it would mean we were bound to happen. 

I agree with Rowan in that design is always a bad word because we associate it with our own designs and it depends on your intentions and purposes from where you are judging. My perfect design could be your total mess and vice versus. Further design implies interruptions and my view is 'God' would not have interfered at all. God closed. The immaterial closed and this is how the material formed in my view. 

Intelligence is also a bad word choice because how intelligent is this God? On what scale? 

How did God get there from nothing? I think nothing and everything are the same things, but just in different forms. 

Consciousness and brain, Soul and Spirit


One of the best conversations. I agree consciousness emerges from brains, but what is this energy? Thought energy? Emotion energy? How powerful is it? Is it possible that this energy is so high that after the brain shuts off it flickers, lingers? Does nature leave behind Natural Echoes of Energy? or Natural Echoes of Consciousness? 

Does Conscious Energy have any links to Quantum Energies?


Apes do a lot of self reflective consciousness too, not just humans. Apes can play pretend, and dolphins are self conscious. Animals are capable of this on some level. However I would say all animals have a consciousness and all animals have a soul, because the consciousness is the immaterial life- the soul and spirit is an immaterial life- an energy that is immaterial.
So, the question resides in energy which is of an immaterial existence and does this retain memory/experience/life?

But humans have a spirt. They are both immaterial as conscious energy is I would say, but the spirit is a horizontal path where the soul is a vertical path. 


The question is does this soul and spirit exist after the material brain shuts off, meaning is there an immaterial life that is created from the material life that persists in the immaterial after the material has ended. That is what interests me.

The immaterial exist because of the material...it birthed it in a way.

Why do we read the Bible literally?


When people read books from the past they need to understand how to read it. When we say tell me what happened today? We use facts, fact, facts. But this is not how people talked 2,000 or more years ago. Stories and histories were not told this way and so when people today read the Bible or Koran or such and read it literally without understanding history, context or the culture then of course you will not really get it at all. No owner there are so many misunderstandings. 

What does existence mean?

Well you can't have a choice without a consciousness and memory. Having a memory is very important, otherwise what is your choice based on without information? How is information stored? In various types of memory. Memory surprisingly goes very deep into the fundamentals of nature. How can you make a conscious choice about your memory without consciousness?

So, free will is basically a conscious informed choice. A result of consciousness and memory (which supplies information however little that information is).

However there is cellular memory, but does it have consciousness? Probably not.

Bacteria has memory, does it have consciousness? Probably not full consciousness. 

Do plants have memory or consciousness? I think they have memory to an extent too, but not full consciousness. 

Do particles have memory, and what about consciousness? I think particle have a certain level again of memory possibly, but not full consciousness. 

Can a quantum computer have consciousness? and if so then can't the universe? This is the tricky one. 


Further what does it mean to exist? I exist because I'm conscious to observe it and experience it. Without consciousness I would have no experience and no observations and so would I exist? Would a tree exist if it had no consciousness to experience or observation of it?

I know you can simply say of course it exists because it is there regardless of whether I'm there or not. But does it really?  If it has no experience of itself then how can it exist? and if it does exist, then what type of existence is it? An unconscious existence? But it certainly has some form of memory. It passes on information to duplicate itself. So information is passed on seemingly whether consciousness is there or not. 

So is energy informed? 


Perhaps energy is not conscious, but it is always informed? Information would have to be retained somehow.




Consciousness and what it all means

 
The real question for me would be how does consciousness exist anyway, and I don't mean just evolutionary explanations...but if the universe and nature in itself is not conscious, then we can see and understand nature yet nature can't do this itself...that just seems strange. Are we somehow superior then to nature and how did consciousness come from something that wasn't conscious? And if the past/present/future are all one and physically, scientifically, everything is one...then wouldn't consciousness be one with it all?

What is a conscious, Informed Choice?

Everything that moves is making a choice. Not an informed or conscious choice, but a choice. It is either going down path A or path B. A quantum computer is theorized to make these choices. However a regular computer might crash if there is nothing distinguishing path A from path B. It would be in a forever state of indecision.

Everything with consciousness and memory is making a conscious informed choice.

A bacteria is also making a choice, though not a conscious choice, but it is making an informed choice because it has memory! If something has memory then it has at least a tiny bit of information!!

Animals have a consciousness and so we too are making a choice, but not just an informed choice...a conscious informed choice.

So then the next question for me is information.

What has information and how is it retained?

We see cellular memory, bacterial memory.

Do particles have memory? Does the universe have memory? is it like the Ram and Hard Drive of a theorized quantum computer? 

Memory, Conformity and Nature

It seems to me that memory/conformity are the most interesting.  Are they fundamental in all things...living and non-living things?

 If we look at the bacteria we see memory directs its ordered movements from its previous random state. What directed its order? an attractant. This is an attractant because it means it can survive. So it goes from random to ordered movements because of an attractant that means its own survival. It is not conscious, but it has a memory enough so to give it direction/order.

If we look at this and see if we can find something like this in non-living things, we will find energy acts very randomly and chaotically in the beginning states, but when energy finds an "attractant" a way to survive, this seems to pull it from random to non random and ordered direction. From simple to complex, from lower energy levels to higher energy levels, from random to non random. 

Perhaps for Virtual Particle (energy) that attractant is Gravity (Space-Time).


Everything seems to conform to survive with a few exceptions of that which doesn't conform but does survive. For example, the heart when placed next to another heart will conform to the beat. Women's periods synchronize.

Even if you look at virtual particles, the majority that "pop from 'nothing' " are going to be whatever was there to begin with? If there is a quark, then most of the virtual particles popping into the empty space of the quark would be virtual quarks. Some might be virtual gluons or virtual photons, but the majority will conform and so the quark will stay a quark. 

(We consciously decide to conform and synchronize mostly for survival, but it seems like non living aspects of nature does this as well).

And so how is everything conforming? It must be able to identify itself and to do that it must has some form of communication or memory/rulebook? 

What is God?

For myself, I view God as a Spirit. An infinite, illimitable, eternal Spirit. What is a Spirit? For myself, I view a Spirit as the most fundamental form, most simple form of energy.

I think to call the Spirit/God as intelligent or conscious, restricts and limits our own understanding of it. This is because we view life and nature through our own intelligence and consciousness. Ours evolved naturally from simple to complex and is restricted by body/space/time.

A God would not have these limits, would not have evolved and would not be complex. Therefore its "intelligence" and "conscious" would be nothing like we understand.

God is not a consciousness inside a brain or an intelligence inside a brain or even a mind inside a brain. Though a mind might be the closest we can think of it. God would exist outside of space and time and inside of it; therefore, its "consciousness" would encompass past-present-future and even before time. Its intelligence could be much like a mathematical genius quantum computer. Perhaps an Awakened Energy-Spirit- would be a better definition.

There are two kinds of energy in my view. Spiritual and Physical. When we understand virtual particles and fundamental particles better, I think we come closer to understanding what Spiritual Energy can do as well.

Spiritual Energy >>Withdrawal>>Space Forms>>Physical Energy Emerges>>Fields> Virtual Particles> Forces>Fundamental Particles>Everything Physical Forms.

Science examines the natural/the physical, not the spiritual.

I agree with everything from science, except when biologists (not mathematicians) use words like purposeless, without guide, directionless, without goals.

I agree with mathematicians assessment of randomness.

The reason is because in biology, we are talking about things without a consciousness -processes and mechanisms are non living things and can't have a purpose in the sense that they are using the word. They don't have a consciousness. They are not aware.

We are examining processes and mechanisms, but what is this substance (energy) that these processes and mechanisms are using. From where does this substance (energy) come?

Those are essentially the questions at the crust of the real inquiry into what is reality.

Simply because the process or mechanism is not conscious itself, does not mean they were not structured deliberately or without intent or thought, or that a spiritual energy does not exist.

This simply means that physical things and processes and mechanisms without a consciousness don't have a conscious purpose/goal.

Well, Duh.

So, I agree biological evolution doesn't have a conscious purpose/goal in and of itself -because we are examining only the physical Things, the physical processes and physical mechanisms.

This says nothing about the spiritual significance.

However, they do have a natural purpose/goal.

All energy persists toward entropy =Death.
All life persists to survival =Life

Further, all energy follows a pattern from simple>complex, chaos>order, from heterogenous>homogenous, from random>non random, from death>life>death.

These patterns are reflected in our natural laws.

So, all of energy does follow a guide or a direction. It is the direction or reflection of the natural laws.

is Nothing all there is?

Science seems to be going in the direction that true nothingness does not exist. This is because whenever you find nothing, you find virtual particles.

I would have to agree not just with the science, but with that concept in my view of life and reality.

Nothing does not exist, because whenever you find nothing--you actually find everything just in its most simple and fundamental form. Nothing is NoThing, not the non-existence of everything.

The most simple and fundamental form of reality is NoThing and this is why this happens in my opinion.

The real question for me is, how much of life experience and memories is retained in this simple fundamental form that makes up our universe and our everything?

How is it retained?

We can see cells seem to have a sense of memory and experience, but do virtual particles too?

Do all our memories and life experiences retain themselves in some fundamental form of energy?

Could what we call the soul or spirit be an echo of nature itself?

It does seem that virtual particles have to behave certain ways. It pops as a gluon only to become a photon or such...because it seemingly has to conform to the existence it pops into. Some virtual particles might pop into our existence as anti-quarks, but most have to conform and so we see the photon it is supposed to be.

Why do virtual particles conform? What rules are they following? It seems they are somehow aware of what is around them if they are conforming. (Not to imply this awareness has to be conscious.)
