Re: [Mind and Brain] More arguments in behalf of a hybrid reality where the empirical & the conceptual become one seamless unit.

Hi Caron,

Rather than thinking your ideas and questions are juvenile or simple, I thing 
they are far more profound and answerable than all the questions science asks 
that so far remain unexplained by their scientific methods.   So, even with a 
smile on my face of pleased wonderment at your audacity, let me try to answer 
your questions below using the same kind of intuition that allows you to 
answer them for yourself by the way the questions are worded based on your own 
inner intuitions.

This analogy is exactly the way the outer-inner world works -- since (picture 
this) everything is linked together by the spinning fields within fields 
within fields that fractally involve -- after radiating out from the encircling 
spinergy or G-force of the zero-point of absolute space (the origin of pure 
consciousness) -- like Russian dolls or Chinese boxes, two inside each other, ad 
infinitum, while remaining interconnected within one encompassing mother field 
of absolute universal consciousness spinning at infinite velocity that 
surrounds them all.   All that we see and experience around us are simply patterns of 
energy vibrations on the surface of the lowest (fourth iteration for the 
scientists) energy phase of these fields where our physical bodies exist along 
with other forms of solidified matter and measurable physical forces (gravity, 
electric, weak, strong, etc.) ... With all of this unbreakably tied together, 
through these interconnected fields, to the absolute zero-point and its spinergy 
-- which is reflected everywhere as centers of consciousness (Spirit or Atma 
for the mystic philosophers) throughout our cosmic space-time continuum.   
Thus, in fundamental reality -- one is all, and all is one.   And, consciousness 
(or spirit) and matter are simply like two sides of a single coin, one 
objective and the other, subjective.

Since each coenergetic field involution following the primal beginning 
represents another level of descending consciousness as well as energy phase order, 
you have intuitively discovered the means that the ancient meditative masters 
used to transfer their consciousness from one level to another until they 
reach the universal center of Spiritual or God consciousness where exists absolute 
stillness (with all sinuous linear vibrations resolved into pure circular or 
nonlinear spin) -- the source of infinite wisdom and knowledge surrounded by 
the perfect bliss of infinite homogeneity where everything is merged into one 
thing -- as it was in the beginning (and always is at the ubiquitous zero-point 
of pure consciousness).   Vide the Sufi whirling Dervishes and the spinning 
Kabbalists who achieve such meditative states that begin with their whirl 
dancing so as to synchronize all their inner and outer fields in a single direction 
of spin, and thus, ultimately merge them together at their common center of 
origin.   Unfortunately (from a scientific standpoint) this can only be 
pictured in the mind and felt or subjectively experienced by a merger of all the 
senses into one's center of individual self awareness.

You've hit the nail right on the head. "?" = spin.   And "speed" = angular 
momentum.   String theory sees each apparently separate particle composed of a 
string of pure force vibrating at different rates of cyclic motion.   ABC 
theory sees this apparent separation being related to the different vibrating wave 
interference patterns creating separate holographic images on the surfaces of 
the coenergetic fields surrounding the zero-point of absolute space -- which 
is everywhere at the centers and junctions between each triple set of the 
spherically involved fractal fields extending diametrically in metric space from 
zero to infinity.

Since our thoughts are energy represented by wave interference patterns on 
the surface of the coenergetic fractal fields within fields, etc., the mind that 
carries the thoughts must be one of those fields.   
See: How It All Began 
http://users.aol.com/uniwldarts/uniworld.artisans.guild/chakrafield.html 

So, that energy must come from the original "spinergy" (angular momentum) 
surrounding the zero-point origin of each of those fields.   Again, your question 
answers itself.   Since those zero-points are everywhere in the universe and 
is why our thought images or imaginations can reach out to the sphere of the 
Cosmos encompassing the furthest galactic clusters and can imagine or picture 
in the mind the most complex and fantastically beautiful pictorial or sonic 
imagery.   (Although, it's only those artists and composers among us who have 
studied, practiced and learned how to reproduce and record these images so others 
can enjoy them.)   But, all of us have those same powers of imagination, and 
can learn to use them if we focus our attention inwardly.

Another good question that contains its own answer... That is, if we can see 
how all things come from one thing -- as described by the ABC spin field model 
of cosmogenesis and universal involution and evolution.   Those coenergetic 
fields are probably equivalent to the hyperspace fields (postulated in string 
and quantum field theories) that are enfolded within the supposedly empty space 
between the quantum particles -- which is full of seething perturbations of 
energy coming in and out of existence as the quantum particles that compose all 
the metric forms and fields we experience through our senses and detect and 
measure with our scientific instruments.

I only wish that science could tell us as much with their measurements about 
the true nature of reality as you have found through your "'hobby' of 
'thinking - A LOT!'" about these questions... (As I have for more years than I can 
remember.:-)   Incidentally, Einstein had the same "hobby" when   he came up with 
E=MC^2 and wrote an essay on relativity around age 16-17 -- before he began 
his study of physics in order to learn enough mathematics to prove his ideas 
scientifically and be able to publish his thesis academically -- which he did in 
1905 when he was 24.   His response to someone commenting on his "genius" 
was, "Genius is simply continued concentration on a single point of inquiry for a 
very long period of time." He also said, "It takes a touch of genius-and a 
lot of courage-to move in the opposite direction."

Contact me directly, if you'd like a list of some non scientific reading 
material that Einstein probably studied that might answer most of your profoundest 
questions related to these subjects.
