Moving towards a Quantitative Understanding of Mind – Part 3

In Part 2, we discussed two consequences that arose from our discovery that Matter is energy bounded by space and time (E(s,t)), while Mind is the potential of this energy (P_E(s,t)). In this post, we will discuss the third consequence.

The third consequence is that since Matter stretches to infinity then, i.e. has the probability to exist everywhere, this must imply that any single unit of Matter, in the cauldron of dynamic creation, is in contact with every other unit of Matter – the differentiating factor being simply the moments of unique intrinsic time, t1, t2, t3 ... tn, etc, associated with each localized unit. This implies that the energy potential(Mind) of a unit of Matter, at any instant in time, is in direct contact with the energy potential of all other units of Matter – with the degree of interaction between units being simply a function of the degree of polarization of the energy potential of each unit. In other words, the total interaction potential energy in creation at any given point, P_E(s,t)_interaction, is proportional to the combined effect of P_E(s,t)1, P_E(s,t)2, P_E(s,t)3, P_E(s,t), ... P_E(s,t)n, of all units of Matter involved. Another way of putting this is that the strength of Mind at any point in Creation is a function of the combination of all other Minds that interact with it.

This statement has immediate ramifications.

The first is that the combination of the energy potential of units of interacting Matter lead to the formation of GROUP MIND. This would imply that the Mind associated with a human being, i.e. the human Mind, is actually a Group Mind formed from the combination and interaction of the energy potential of all the composite unit cells that make up the human body. It is worth pointing out that the combination of all unit cells that make up the body can only be possible if all the cells share a common localization of intrinsic time. Therefore, the Group Mind that arises from this must be unique - unique in the sense that it is directly and simultaneously associated with all the units of Matter that gave rise to it. This is illustrated in part A of the figure below which shows how the combination of two units of Matter with energy E1 and E2, and with intrinsic time t1 and t2, where t1 ≈ t2 and E1 ≠ E2, lead to the formation of a unique Group Mind. The Group Mind formed here is unique because of the condition t1 ≈ t2 and E1 ≠ E2.

Examples of clusters of matter that exhibit a unique Group Mind are human beings, plants, inanimate objects, and anything visible that is made up of two or more separate units of matter.

However, in a situation where the localization of intrinsic time of the units of interacting Matter is not common to all units, a Group Mind will be formed that is not unique to any of the composite units of Matter. The Group Mind that is formed in this case may be considered virtual because it cannot be solely or directly associated with any one unit of matter. Thus, a virtual Group Mind can only be formed between interacting matter if the following conditions are satisfied: t1 ≠ t2 ≠ t3 ... ≠ tn, while E1≠ E2, ≠ E3, ... ≠ En. This is illustrated in part B of the diagram. Examples of virtual Group Mind are the Group Mind associated with a family, society, tribe, country, business company and so on. It is important to note that the virtual nature of the Group Mind will not in any way detract from its existence or potency.

Two things become immediately obvious. The first is to find out what the obvious differences between a Group Mind and a virtual Group Mind are. And the second is to find out what the consequences of these differences are. This however will be the topic of another post.

AS a footnote, it is important to realise that it is impossible to have a Group Mind that is formed from units of Matter where t1 ≈ t2 ≈ t3 ... ≈ tn and E1 ≈ E2, ≈ E3, ... ≈ En. This would imply that it is possible to have separate identical units of Matter existing in the same space and in the same moment of time. This is not possible. Pauli's exclusion principle explains why this is the case.
