If humans weren't educated to
ignore, in fact, to fail to observe, event sequences and coincidences of an
improbable nature they would be subject to a seemingly impossible mystery.
And this is why it is easy for scientists to ignore, or turn a blind eye to
all such phenomena - to say the least it disturbs the ego. Whenever science
encounters anomalies after a theory has been established the anomalies are
either invalidated or assumed that they will resolve as the theory is
applied further.
The particular anomalies we are interested in are improbable coincidences
that we sometimes call meaningful coincidences. If scientists became more
aware of the extent to which these meaningful coincidences occur in anyone's
life new theories would be required and sought.
What we are claiming here is that these event coincidences are
synchronistic
- a term we use when referring to 'coincidences' which are actually
connected. This simply means an unseen factor has entered into the equation.
This hidden factor already has the events associated - even as one whole. We
might just remind the reader at this early stage that the wave function in
quantum physics can handle this. If the two events are represented each by a
different wave packet, they can be linked by resonance such that a single
resultant wave packet can represent the unity or wholeness of the two
events.
Scientists will tell us it is a random universe; that events are nothing but
accidents. And yet physicists still dream of the ideal universe - one which
satisfies all the tests of truth of physics. In particular, that it would
have a high order. This very thought contradicts the apparent conclusion of
science that the universe is random. We know from complexity theory of
mathematics that the higher the order of a system the more that system will
appear random. This is in fact what we are coming up against. The universe
order is so high that we do not have the intelligence to spot the
regularities within the randomness. Everyone has done the IQ test in which a
little order is put into the initial letters of the alphabet and one has to
spot what the next letter or letters would be. This could be made so
complex, say, involving most of the 26 letters that one cannot spot the
order. This is a good analogy for our observations of nature.
Synchronicities and the amazing holistic systems which surround us are a
manifestation of this order, and are being ignored by science.
Owing to the severe programming on this planet, producing humans lacking in
curiosity and observation powers, and perpetuating and reinforcing a
regular, mundane existence, based on extreme narrow-mindedness, plus science
being confined to materialism, the phenomena of synchronicities and unity
are overlooked and the exceptional cases ignored or justified. Many people
experience blatant degrees of synchronicities, often consisting of the most
trivial of events.
If we carefully consider these events - not with a half-hearted glance - we
arrive at a shocking conclusion. Once we have
1) observed synchronicities,
2) believed that they are synchronicities and not coincidences,
3) recognized the enormous difficulty in explaining them by mainstream concepts
of a linear nature, cause and effect, etc.,
we are left with the
unimaginable conclusion that some kind of wholeness, that is, holistic
state, is forever present underlying all existence. We are forced to
postulate a unifying and single quantum state which having been postulated
may have to be extended to the whole universe and beyond.
The intellectual and scientific mind of today is based on left-brain
thinking, utilizing analysis, rationalization, logic, objectivity. It has no
perception of, and no reality of how elements can be not just associated but
unified into a new whole. Our serial and linear conscious mind can only
grasp mental concepts by breaking down wholes. In effect we can only do one
creative thing at a time. The unconscious, however, can operate via parallel
processing. It can grasp many elements simultaneously as one whole.
If the entire universe is one quantum state, as some leading physicists
believe, then this 'one' will have subgroups and fractal levels down to a
particle. Such a structure is inherently holographic. This means that the
universe 'knows' the frequency attributes of every sub-part down to each
minute particle. This also means there can be instantaneous
cross-referencing of all parts. There will be a hierarchy from
particles/atoms to larger wholes, such as planets, then stars, galaxies,
etc. to the universe - very much like the imagined levels or strata of a
company organization in going from ground-floor workers to managers,
executives and a single president.
The concept of wholeness, unity, oneness has been discouraged on this
planet - people are already programmed and educated to overlook it. For the
same reason we have emphasis on quantity rather than quality; why there is
poor appreciation of art. In fact it is all part of a creation of a reality
devoid of spirituality - a reality with an excess of greed and selfishness.
When synchronicities are carefully observed and evaluated one finds that an
explanation verges on the impossible. One has no choice but to postulate a
total quantum state in which elements within it are interrelated
simultaneously. These 'elements' are all the attributes of existence:
particles, objects, living species, probabilities, and events as
processes - which are singular - they can be represented by, in fact are, wave
patterns. The whole, at its own dimensional level, will be undivided.
The required physics here is one capable of handling a frequency-coded
universe, hierarchically structured nonlinearly, and one in which
communication is achieved by resonance. It is an information universe in
which the information is stored and conveyed by waves and oscillations. In
fact we require to postulate a unified field, a wholeness nevertheless,
expressing as a first manifestation a homogeneous field of minute particles
billions of times smaller than a subatomic particle which we can call
consciousness - that is, units, particles, of consciousness. This is the
quantum reality of all possibilities. It is not relative to anything else.
It isn't something in the sense that there is a 'nothing' right there to
compare it with. There is nothing else - so it is equivalent to nothing,
nevertheless it is seething with potential. Now, as a manifestation occurs
(is selected), for our universe the particles group to form waves to create
both the phenomena of transmission of information over any distance, and
stable structures by interaction with other waves. The waves are coded,
which means the particles are set into definite patterns (by
template
action) and their subsequent geometric characteristics create all known
attributes of life, mind, universe and spirit.
All energy states, whether stable entities or flowing events, are discrete
conditions, and can be handled with the wave function of quantum mechanics.
As far as we are concerned this wave function is a packet of vibrations.
Another property we need to handle with the physics is the formation of
undivided wholes, even though they are made up of parts. This can be
achieved by means of the attributes of waves: they will add to form a single
resultant, and with Fourier analysis the parts (as sine waves) will
magically appear out of the whole.
Synchronicities can be explained by the notion that all information in the
universe is instantly cross-referenced and under continuous data-processing.
One region communicates with another by frequency attunement, and both
causes and effects within the third dimension are spanned simultaneously,
even though played off in sequence. This means that not only can two
apparently separate events be interconnected but if the whole is dictating
to the parts it will span both space and time (by the degree of its
wholeness or subpart), enabling any events to be selected to satisfy the
synchronicity.
Very often for humans, synchronicities are negative, meaning
they are not
wanted (by the conscious self). One may observe, say, a trivial unpleasant
experience only to find it tends to repeat. The initial objection one had to
it might have created a hang-up of the energies at this point in time,
causing, by frequency affiliation (like attracts like), an automatic
selection of similar events; thus it repeats. In some cases where we can
insist that there wasn't enough time for the synchronous event to occur,
even though it did, we have to realize that the computation had a
sufficiently wide span in space and time, covering a great deal of data
surrounding the event (past, present and future).
The concept of balance is another indicator of wholeness. We are all
familiar with this principle of balance. Without it there is disharmony,
illness, etc. Energies, however, attempt to go into balance - they seek
wholeness (the native condition). A person exhibiting extreme traits will be
found to manifest on occasions, or in the future more regularly, the
opposite condition. Furthermore, when one creates negative actions there is
a debt to pay. The opposite, mirror-image energy, returns to one to balance
the two opposite flows of duality into wholeness, unity.
We mentioned art as demonstrating wholeness. In fact all energy states are
different degrees of wholeness - and can be called quantum states. For
example, attention (consciousness) within the visual field is whole but must
be imagined as flickering on and off at different levels of focus - different
superimposed spans giving the illusion that the intensity of attention is
greatest at the focus of the physical eyes and fades towards the periphery.
When words are communicated from one person to another, transmission of
information takes place in whole instantaneous concepts which one can
imagine as flickering on and off. In skills and coordination the learning
pattern spans space and time as one whole. It is holographic. This holistic
energy state (quantum state) exists simultaneously
with the availability of all sub-whole states down to one bit of
information. All these levels are computed simultaneously.
Anyone successfully observing such phenomena will know that all energy is in
quantum states (whole states, large or small) coming and going, giving the
illusion of continuity. Having reached this conclusion it is only logical to
extrapolate this progression of increasing quantum states to one whole - one
holographic whole, like following the many twigs of a tree, through branches
to single trunk. Let us add to this brief evaluation of the One by
referencing some significant and eminent sources of information:
Ouspensky, in A New Model of the Universe states that everything is
everywhere and always; Princeton physicist John Wheeler's geometrical
dynamical quantum foam of superspace represents a superhologram of the
universe, and physicist Jack Sarfatti's interpretation of this quantum
superspace is that the 'wormholes' connect all parts of the universe
directly to every other part; leading physicist David Bohm stresses quantum
interconnectedness and unbroken wholeness; Charles Muses and Arthur Young
refer to objects as superhologram images; Michael Talbot reiterates that
thought processes are holographic in that all thoughts are infinitely
cross-referenced with all other thoughts; Keith Floyd states that
holographic models of consciousness make such brain processes as memory,
perception, and imaging clearly explainable; Fritjof Capra speaks of the
universe as a hologram in which each part determines the whole. And further,
in addition to the classic quote, 'As above, so below'; to which physicist
Bob Toben adds, 'As within, so without,' we have the axiom of
Hermeticism,
'What is here is everywhere; what is not here is nowhere.'
The benefits of the Theory of One are
1) it reconciles
science and religion
with a spiritual science which embraces life, mind, the universe, and the
spirit
2) it gives a scientific understanding of the
God concept
3) it
satisfies the best test of truth in physics by the very nature that nothing
is outside it; thus it does not even have the bias (preferential condition)
of 'one' - we do not have the language to express it, and
4) it presents the
holistic condition for understanding all qualitative phenomena
Within any of these levels of
wholeness, which is all energy, that we can
name consciousness, there is inherent the capacity to fragment - go out of
phase causing quantum reduction - and the fragments to fragment further. This
forms a hierarchy of reducing frequencies from the whole to the parts. Note
that much of this structure would be in a virtual state. Anything within
creation would be a manifestation which has sprung from this hierarchical
virtual-state matrix. All such manifestations will result from formatting
within the wholes - this is a template type of action as mentioned above.
The smallest parts can
dictate to the whole and its subparts (for example, through decision,
intention, reactions, etc.) and change them, and in turn the whole and
subparts pass down synchronistic patterns (of varied spans in space and
time) to the parts.
One can in fact almost logically arrive at the notion that wholeness
predominates - it is more a question of how big it gets. Let us, however,
take some examples which are closer to home. In skills, an individual cannot
make consecutive coordinated movements unless any present position contained
simultaneously the information for the position of the next movement and
relocation. In the margin of consciousness there is perception of the next
position before the previous one is complete. There is a level of energy in
the hierarchical learning pattern which spans simultaneously the adjacent
movements and positions.
There must always be a background quantum state encompassing the elements of
the activity. Otherwise there is no control without this 'background'. All
events would be truly random or predetermined; and we have long since
discarded the theory of physical predeterminism. Theoretically if one's
attention was directed one way only, totally unaware of any other direction,
it would be stuck there forever. But supposing there was another alternative
direction of the attention. In order for the individual to control the
attention from one direction to the other there must be a state of mind in
the margin of consciousness which encompasses both directions
simultaneously. For the human serial, linear mind this occurs unconsciously.
In order to choose there must be a condition of one (state) encompassing the
choices. Ultimately we might thus project this to an all-embracing one
whole. When one really considers this property it becomes illogical to think
that any true and ultimate separation can exist.
We can conclude that absolute separation is not possible, or logical;
separation is relative, achieved by limitations, barriers imposed on the
whole, or more specifically, dimensional strata structured nonlinearly and
contextually (the 'withinness') - the mechanism of the subjective/objective
illusion.
Now the one whole condition which we can identify as the basic energy of
consciousness will have inherent within it all subwholes down to
particles - it has a potential multidimensional structure which is like
parallel processing going inwards into higher orders (dimensions). This is
the contextual hierarchy we have discussed of causes within causes. This
also solves the fractal problem and reveals the mechanics of free will. In
considering viewing this strata from the particle end, one will find a
particle can have its own degrees of freedom but it is also acting within
constraints of the next stratum which spans a little more spacetime (less
focused and containing more probabilities).
In turn, this level is within the next higher one, which again has slightly
greater unity and is less focused. A practical example and one which also
acts as an analogy for causes within causes and free will is the
coordination and mobility of the whole arm. For instance, at the keyboard
all joints are used: fingers, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. The finger moves
in the context of the wrist, which moves in the context of the elbow, etc.
(Note, these are specific 'selected' fractal levels in nature.) We can as an
analogy consider that, say, a finger has free will to move about its joints
even though the wrist by its own mobility can determine the more general
position of the finger. One can imagine the finger motion as demonstrating
ego freedom of the individual; then the wrist as soul-level consciousness in
which no matter what the 'soul' determines the ego to be or do, the ego
still possesses a degree of self-determinism.
Similarly the elbow (say,
higher-self) determines the position of the wrist and in turn the finger but
each of wrist and finger have their own determinism, and so on to the
shoulders. One doesn't have to believe in the specific (fractal) levels of
'soul' and 'higher-self' but merely to grasp the total
nonlinearity of this
multidimensional hierarchy in which each higher level has slightly less
focus (greater unity) and thus superposes a broader determination on the
level and levels below it. That is, one has to imagine a gradient of
superimposed nonlinear, contributing strata acting simultaneously on any
part, subwhole or whole - in particular the human observable level of
consciousness or ego. There is no absolute linearity; it is all nonlinear
but in chaos theory these contextual levels become displaced.
For the computer programmer an aid to an understanding of this nonlinearity
with an example for converting linearity into nonlinearity is given in the
article Parallel Processing in the Natural World? involving dimensional
arrays and loops.
In spite of all this order and wholeness there must be a
place for chaos.
Chaos will normally fragment energies; this is in effect what it means. We
may find, however, that the ultimate chaos inherent in the one has a
different kind of chaos. To speculate: If one viewed many random dots of
color covering a sheet of paper we might state that this is chaos. But
couldn't we also call it chaos if each color (of each dot) was spread
throughout the whole paper evenly - all superimposed (and creating a murky
color). This would correspond to being beyond spacetime. Each color could
now be projected out and focused to a dot to create normal chaos or of
course order. The value of chaos is that it gives unpredictability:
a
necessary requisite to free will.
As a final point, we might wish to note that in Buddhism the state of
enlightenment is the attainment of a 'non-dual' condition (unity
consciousness) from the normal material world of duality. But more relevant
is that according to many extraterrestrial reports, all advanced
civilizations recognize, practice and live by the Law of One.
