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.

Moving towards a Quantitative Understanding of Mind – Part 2

In the previous post - Part 1, we discovered that Matter is energy bounded by space and time, i.e. E(s,t), while Mind is the potential of this energy, i.e. P_E(s,t). This has consequences with respect to how matter interacts. We will discuss two of these consequences in this post. The third consequence is discussed in Part 3.

The first consequence becomes obvious from our knowledge of Quantum Physics in which Matter is known to behave both as a particle and as a wave. This observed duality of Matter can be encapsulated mathematically by the use of a probability density function, which enables us to localize matter by quantifying its probability to exist at a given location in a given moment of time. In other words, matter has the probability to exist everywhere, i.e. from -∞ to +∞. From this it is obvious that space associated with any given unit of Matter can be visualized as a composite of infinite vibrations oscillating at infinite number of possible frequencies. The presence of time therefore localizes space to a given moment and this is the reason why Matter can be quantified and measured.

The second consequence is that since the localization of Matter is only made possible by time, this must mean that time is intrinsic and thus must be unique – this statement is in perfect agreement with the tenets of our paradigm and is illustrated in the diagram below. The inverted cone represents the totality of Matter and Mind bounded by space and time. Outside the cone is the energy of creation. Within the cone is the energy of Matter, i.e. the potential of which describes Mind. The different slices of the cone represent the different levels of the energy at each of which time, t1, t2, t3, ... tn, is unique. Time is unique at each level due to the unique frequency of vibration of space at that level. Remember that space itself is not unique. It is the same throughout all energy levels. It only manifests differently at each level due to the uniqueness of the frequency of its vibration at that level. Thus, the total energy at each level is conserved. This statement has far reaching consequences. They will however be the subject of another posting.

Moving towards a Quantitative Understanding of Mind – Part 1

Thus far, we have considered the definition of Mind and Matter purely on a philosophical and rather abstract basis. It is time now to move towards a quantitative understanding of Mind. Before we begin, I will reiterate certain points: that Matter and Mind are two sides of the same coin and that Matter is a direct consequence of Creation transiting from a state of non-dynamism to a state of dynamism under the injection of an impulse which we can only refer to as the “First Cause”. It is worth pointing out that it is not necessary to try to understand the nature or origin of this “First Cause” since it does not in any way prevent us from understanding the nature of matter itself.

Now since we know that creation is energy and Matter is dynamic creation, therefore this must imply that Matter is dynamic energy. We also know from our paradigm that Matter is manifested as a composite of space and time. This must imply that Matter is energy bounded by space and time.

Mind, on the other hand, we know to be that aspect of creation which Matter uses to realize its own being. Since we also know that Matter achieves this by passing on the experiences of its interaction with the environment to Mind, this must imply that Mind is simply a state of energy waiting to perform work by using experiences as “input data”. Consequently, this implies that Mind is simply the potential of the energy that is bounded by space and time. In other words, Matter is energy bounded by space and time, E(s,t) while Mind is the potential of this energy, P_E(s,t). The potential can subsequently assume varying states of polarization depending on the type of input data, i.e. experiences, which it receives.

The existence of E(s,t) and P_E(s,t) has interesting consequences. These consequences will be studied in the next Part 2.
