The Experience Rationale

The Experience is a STATE. The Experience is isolated physically. The Experience is unique — truly unique as in it is an expression of pure quantum randomness. The Experience connects the macroscopic world with the quantum world through decoherence [cosmic ray detection] and mental superimposition. The Experience cannot be regulated, predicted, or controlled. It is indeterministic by design if the universe is also. If instead, there are hidden variables or pilot waves etc, then the Experience will also reflect these features. The goal is not hindered by the unknown.

For a sense of reference, there are numerous related experiences. For example, yoga, sensory deprivation,

• Yoga, is a meditative means of discovering dysfunctional perception and cognition, as well as overcoming it for release from suffering, inner peace and salvation
• Yoga, as the raising and expansion of consciousness from oneself to being coextensive with everyone and everything
• Yoga, as a path to omniscience and enlightened consciousness enabling one to comprehend the impermanent (illusive, delusive) and permanent (true, transcendent) reality
• Yoga, as a technique for entering into other bodies, generating multiple bodies, and the attainment of other supernatural accomplishments

Jung, in conjunction with the physicist Wolfgang Pauli, explored the possibility that his concepts of the archetype and synchronicity might be related to the unus mundus – the archetype being an expression of unus mundus; synchronicity, or “meaningful coincidence”, being made possible by the fact that both the observer and connected phenomenon ultimately stem from the same source, the unus mundus.

Bohm’s idea of an implicate order behind quantum physics appears to be similar to what Wolfgang Pauli and C. G. Jung sought in their later years, the unified psychophysical or unified psychoid reality, the unus mundus of the Medieval alchemist Gerardus Dorneus.

Implicit Memory. Time is not real or is in either direction. This can explain entanglement. Is entanglement sychronicity? Implicit memory, eternal memory, genetic memory?

Do you want a vast audience now? Do you want an influential audience to propagate work? What is the work — or is it message? Abraham as father of religions — what did that propagation pattern look like? Bunch of physicists in 1930s hanging out and making quantum physics — how did that propagate? Now mainstream? what’s mainstream or ancient that still carries forward? New ways of thinking, new meanings. How or can we tie them back to one person or one Experience? Or what if the experience of a panorama room [or even just description of it] influenced the goal of creating VR with technology in one person? It gets picked up and then finds a propagation method that exists at that time [timing]. How do we communicate across time — is that our goal with art? Or is it enough to have an effect of one particular kind on X people [1] and then this can be transmuted to different outcomes, not relatable on a macroscale level to the original effect [but actually connected, just hard to decipher at that level [maybe impossible after x time] or at least impossible now. [butterfly effect!] But then can we predict/thus communicate anything that way? If we cant backtrack to the ’cause’ we cant predict the outcome. Or is it that we can predict but must be willing to accept that our role is lost [pilot wave? sub atomic particles but cant recreate their exact tragectory?] Is our role ‘lost’? What constitutes ‘us’? what is a prediction — it is ‘will’. Is our will as actioned in the physical world [and also the subatomic] be enough on its own for our satisfaction. Just knowing we willed it. Or is there some reason we want longevity? We want influence!? Influence on another/others. Is it that we desire power or is it that we desire connection? Would we be fine with something else connecting/influencing us but not the other way around? Some of us, but not all of us. But synchronicity could mean another type of cause/effect. Not sure of what I want. unus mundus? I think I would be fine with just my own experience of the Experience. I’ve come to be fine with my own, isolated, experience of everything. Or at least facing that even if it is not what I feel I want. But the Experience would work for me moreso if it allowed me to find a connection even if not external. But if I am given no sign? No connection? Maybe it is a message from myself anyway, but maybe that circle is all there is and all that there needs to be. What I dislike most is the casual and the intentional. If there could be connections to me that were not causal or asynchronous, then maybe that would work for me to feel connected. twins/clones, why not? And why? Something about the time/space. Something about being able to hold a conversation but not be sure of the other’s response. What if it was an AI of my consciousness? Not as good as a clone? Why not? Should be. I think I could love an AI. I definitely could if I believed it could love me, but that’s why right now clones>AI.

“The fundamental Zen practice of zazen, or seated meditation, recalls both the posture in which the Buddha is said to have achieved enlightenment, and the mindfulness and concentration which are part of the Eightfold Path as taught by the Buddha.

During zazen, positions such as the lotus, half-lotus, Burmese, or seiza postures are used. Awareness is directed towards one’s posture and breathing. Often, a cushion (zafu) placed on a padded mat (zabuton) is used to sit on; in some cases, a chair may be used. In the Rinzai school of Zen, practitioners typically sit facing the centre of the room, while Soto Zen meditation is traditionally done sitting facing a wall.

Because the Zen tradition is for direct communication rather than scriptural study, the Zen teacher has traditionally played a central role. A Zen teacher is a person ordained in any tradition of Zen to teach the dharma (right way of living, or natural harmony), to guide students of meditation, and to perform rituals.There are certain techniques common in the Zen tradition which seem unconventional, but which are intended to shock a student out of habitual ways of thought. These include the loud belly shout known as katsu. It is common in many Zen traditions today for Zen teachers to have a stick with them during formal ceremonies – a symbol of authority which can be also used to strike on the table during a talk.”

The afterlife, and belief, are not major concerns in Shinto; the emphasis is on fitting into this world instead of preparing for the next, and on ritual and observance rather than on faith. Instead, Shinto is a collection of rituals and methods meant to regulate the relations between living people and the spirits. The principal worship of kami is done at public shrines (jinja), although many people also have a small private shrine at home(kamidana) – sometimes only a high shelf with a few ritual objects.
