Implications of the Interacting Mind – Part 1

In the post “Moving towards a Quantitative Understanding of Mind – Part 2”, we arrived at the conclusion that Matter occurs simultaneously in multiple moments of time due to the conditions of non-unique space and unique intrinsic time at each energy level that are necessary to ensure the conservation of total energy. We also arrived at the conclusion that the uniqueness of intrinsic time implies that space at each energy level will vibrate at a unique composite of frequencies compared to the space at any other level.

This statement has far reaching consequences, the first of which is the conclusion that since the essence of space is the same throughout all the energy levels of Matter, then this must imply that Matter can be perceived, manifested or measured at any energy level irrespective of the moment of intrinsic time. So for example, the human being is capable of perceiving and realizing itself through its Mind, at any energy level – Dream state, Spirit or Soul state. This implies mean that any unit of Matter must possess multiple selves or to use a more technical expression, multiple reflections of itself all of which exist in the same space but at different moments of intrinsic time.

This raises further questions of which the most important is how can Matter quantify its realization of its own reflections. In other words, take for example, the human being who is able to perceive its reflects in the in the dream state, spirit state or soul state, what is actually being observed; is it the true form of the Matter that makes up the body at each energy level or is it rather an interpretation of the true form? And if so, what is the true form like at each energy level and how it be realized?

The answer lies in understanding the concept of relative perception. Since it is clear that intrinsic time in not unique at each energy level, this means that space at a given level must vibrate at a different composite of frequencies compared to other levels. This in turn means that manifestation of Matter at any given level is unique. Consequently, Matter would interact with its environment through a different set of experiences and would thus realize itself through its Mind in a unique way. Thus Matter at a given energy level or state, say, the ground state can realize itself at any other energy state. However, it would only be able to do so at a moment of intrinsic time that is relative to the natural intrinsic time of its ground state. In other words, a unit of Matter at a given energy state will never be able to perceive itself separately and simultaneously at a different energy state. This would be tantamount to having multiple ground states and existing simultaneously at all of them. This is why for example when a human being observes himself or herself in say, a dream, or a thought exercise, there must always be a reference point. This reference point is the evolution of intrinsic time in the natural ground state (the body) to which everything else is compared. As a result, the realization of the self will be different at any energy level (state) other that the ground state.

However, this perception only pertains to the unit of Matter in question as it attempts to realize itself. The opposite would be true of an external observer. In other words, if it were possible for such an observer to, for instance, view the different manifestations of a unit of Matter at all its energy levels simultaneously, the observer would not be able to distinguish between the multiple manifestations of Matter. All of them would appear as being exactly the same.

This is interesting because it would appear to imply that the realization of the self by any unit of Matter can only be as a function of its own intrinsic time. This is not strictly speaking true. In order for any unit of Matter to realize itself fully, i.e. to maximise the full potential of its Mind, it must interact and must posses the ability to quantify to some degree the extent of this interaction. This interaction has two components – the self and the environment. Interaction with the self is realized by quantifying the evolution of the self in moments of intrinsic time. Interaction with the external environment on the other hand is realized by quantifying the evolution of the self relative to the environment, in other words, using relative time. This implies that for any unit of Matter in creation, time has two components – intrinsic time and relative time.

This has very interesting consequences for the world of science, particularly as science neglects the property of intrinsic time and deals only with relative time. The impact of intrinsic time will be discussed in forthcoming posts.
