Re: [Mind and Brain] Re: The "TIME" factor related to Dreams, Thinking, Mind, Brain

Richard, 

I think you have gone far beyond conscience and reason by labeling me an 
"imposter" for trying to present my reasonable ABC field theory of consciousness 
and mind in a supposedly fair and open forum -- for the consideration of all 
those professional or amateur scientists and philosophers studying consciousness 
along with mind and brain... 

A theory that is offered in all sincerity for whoever might wish to comment, 
and either agree or disagree, using reason and logic...   By speaking directly 
to the propositions, conclusions, and other elements of the theory itself -- 
without raising personal issues or insults that have nothing to do with my 
self chosen, unsolicited, unaffiliated, and unpaid theoretical work for the past 
30 odd years... Carried out solely for the sake of seeking the truth of 
cosmogenesis and the interconnections, mechanisms, and dynamics between 
consciousness (awareness, will), mind and matter...   Something that physical science, 
caught up in its reductive materialism, had left unstudied and in limbo until 
about 12-13 years ago, when some imaginative scientists, realizing that they 
couldn't answer certain fundamental questions of physics without bringing 
consciousness into their equations, published the professional Journal of 
Consciousness Studies, Consciousness and Cognition, Psyche, etc.

Not being an "accredited" scientist or mathematician, my only reason for 
presenting the ABC theory on these forums is to find learned and accredited 
scientists willing to consider it and assist with a possible mathematical solution 
that could meet the scientific requirements of falsification and prediction, as 
well as lend their name and credentials for peer reviewed publication in 
professional scientific or philosophical journals.   I know now that you could 
never be one of those scientists -- who, if they could present the ABC theory 
scientifically, might be candidates for a Nobel prize -- since this concept, if 
proven to be valid, can answer all the hard problems that current physical 
science cannot solve on its present path. Something that you refuse to see.

Perhaps you should read the definition of "imposter" below to understand how 
you have made a serious gaff in libeling me in public with such an insidious 
personal "attack," as well as misinterpreting my statements taken out of 
context, that may have been of an allegorical or comparative nature, plus using ad 
hominem arguments in attempting to justify such non sequitur interpretations 
and irrelevant remarks in contradiction of my ABC theory... That has been often 
argued pro and con on these forums using reasonable and logical ideas and 
concepts -- whether metaphysical or physical -- without resort to such unfounded 
accusations or ad hominem methods.

While conceived of over 30 years ago, this theory has been presented in 
correspondence to the major on-line scientific and philosophical forums studying 
consciousness, mind, brain, and their interrelationships, for at least the past 
10-12 years -- with no attempt to hide its sources, collaborations or 
corroboration's... And, this is the first time any supposedly reputable scientist (if 
you are one) has used such underhanded methods in indicating a disagreement 
with some of its premises, reasoning, or conclusions.   Apropos, I might ask 
what does imposture (if such is true) have to do with the correctness or 
incorrectness of the theory presented on its own merits in such logical and 
progressive detail based on reasonable fundamental propositions (that some aspects of 
physical science also appear to corroborate)?   

Incidentally, I have never disguised the fact that, after many years of deep 
study of Blavatsky's Secret Doctrine -- (from which, and from other sources, I 
have sufficient evidence to believe, Einstein also did and, consequently, 
intuited E=mc^2 when he was in his teens, long before he became a physicist with 
enough mathematical knowledge to eventually prove it) -- I intuited this idea 
of metaphysics, linked logically with physics, to explain the exact mechanisms 
of consciousness and perception and the dynamic connections between 
awareness-will and matter (without violating any of the fundamental scientific laws) -- 
that physical science, alone, could never explain.   Also, in my long study 
of this book, I also found many indications presaging many of the later 
developments of quantum and string physics.   This, in spite of your unfounded 
denials based on supposed research in Blavatsky's work that you could never have 
carried out thoroughly in such a short time between our letters. 

Your attempts to discredit me as well as my theory using such tactics, and 
your arguments based on out of context statements, that may or may not be 
correctly interpreted in their dead letter, does not justify your use of libelous 
statements or the foul language -- which you have also written in harassing 
personal letters sent to me privately under the Mind and Brain subject line.   

Incidentally, only some of those so called "private" letters that were 
relatively benign were inadvertently sent back to the list -- since, I have in the 
past, made it a habit to send my replies that further clarify my theory to 
whatever forum is listed in the subject line, as well as to other students of ABC 
or theosophy who may be interested.   

However, If you continue with this ad hominem and insulting technique of 
refutation, I will forward my response to the remaining harassing letters back to 
this list, so all here can see how low you have stooped to discredit my ideas 
that seem to have disturbed you emotionally... Possibly, I may assume, since I 
claim that the ABC field theory solves many of the hard problems of 
consciousness and brain-mind binding, as well as other paradoxes and anomalies that 
conventional material science (in which you apparently have an unwavering belief 
in its infallibility) cannot come up with even an inkling of a solution.

I would appreciate -- unless you can deal with your disagreements with ABC 
field theory directly on its merits, using reasonable and logical arguments (and 
cease either direct or indirect personal ad hominem remarks, accusations, or 
other spurious arguments) -- that you immediately stop this correspondence 
with me, or to others referring to my theory or to me personally in a similar 
derogatory manner as in your letter quoted below.

Sincerely,

P.S.   With reference to Blavatsky's phrase I quoted when describing the 
nature of the analogous coenergetic fields of consciousness of both the Universe 
and the individual human -- which you said, after supposedly researching all of 
Blavatsky's works which is almost impossible) that I "made it up" and was 
thus a "liar" and an "imposter" (in a letter sent to me personally)... To use 
such a ploy to discredit me and my theory is unconscionable and ratty at best, 
and I hope you receive the equivalent results of such karma as your Hindu 
religion proscribes. 

The following excerpt from The Theosophical Glossary proves that you are the 
pot calling the kettle black.   Personally, your ad hominem methods of 
argument and your insulting personal accusations, is sufficient evidence to prove to 
me your lack of scientific integrity and underhanded nature.

"Coadunation or Coadunition [from Latin coadunare to unify] Union; used in 
theosophical literature to define the interrelation of the globes of any 
planetary chain. Speaking of the earth-chain, "In short, as Globes, they are in 
co-adunition but not in consubstantiality with our earth and thus pertain to quite 
another state of consciousness" (SD 1:166). Were they consubstantial they 
would be on the same plane and of the same degree of manifested substance that our 
fourth-plane or physical globe earth is, whereas the higher globes are on 
different planes (cf SD 1:200, diagram). Yet they form one unitary system. 
Nevertheless, this must not be taken as implying that they occupy the same space. 
"Of course if there was anything in those 'worlds' approaching to the 
constitution of our globe it would be an utter fallacy, an absurdity to say that they 
are within our world and within each other (as they are) and that yet, they 'do 
not intermingle together' " (Blavatsky Letters to Sinnett, 250).

From: Wikipedia 
"An impostor (or imposter, a common variant) is a person who pretends to be 
somebody else.
Most impostors try to gain financial or social advantages. Pretenders for 
various thrones used to be common. Numerous men claimed they were Dauphin, heir 
to the French throne who disappeared during the French Revolution. There were 
at least two false Dimitris who were serious pretenders for the throne of 
Russia.
Very daring impostors may pretend to be someone else who really exists 
although fast news media has made this rather difficult in these days. Usually they 
just misrepresent their financial, educational or social status, family 
background and in some cases, their gender.

(And, thanks, Dirk.   I appreciate your open mindededness.   Qestions and 
comments welcome. LM)
