What is your thoughts on the ringing of the ears? You said the sound comes from the mind and I agree since it is what creates our world.
What do you think is causing this ringing? Energy being released?
Peace to you.

What's with all the layers and structuring?

Rant aside I agree with the idea that "a unit of causation" (I'll refer to it as a "causon") is capable of generating a self compounding and complexifying emergent structure. What you skip however in your book is *how* this happens. You should probably read something like Wolfram's book "A New Kind of Science," to provide a more rigorous model using something like rule-110 to back up your assertion that something like this is even possible. Actually, in general, you should probably attempt to reference other works. Your complete lack of a bibliography probably explains why your work is largely ignored. Working in complete isolation means you reinvent ideas and terminology that others have already worked out and explored.
As for your idea about the "The Epitome Circumstantial" or TEC. I completely disagree with this part. You completely anthropomorphize atomic inert aspects of reality. For example on page 119, "The [causons] only hope for permanent existence is to create its own version of permanent concrete existence that will -- like each matrix organizational whole since the dawn of [causal] existence itself -- enables the identity of all the [causal] units that gathered to create it survive beyond the instant. This genius of sheer will to exist, that eventually resulted in the amazing elemental complexities that we find in even the most basic building blocks of physical mass, inevitably drives the [causon] to a point where a true and conscious capacity for information generation -- achieved by an organized matrix structure of causal trajectory -- becomes a fact of reality." The fact is there is no "will" in atomic or high energy particles. They're not fighting for survival. They merely exist and react with one another.
The emergence of the TEC is basically the same thing as saying the emergence of self-directed consciousness (albeit primitive).
While, yes, this happened, your book doesn't really provide any insights as to how or why or when this occurred and under what circumstances. A lot of what's in the book is just new phrases to redefine old concepts. It would be a lot better if you attempted to try to use a computational terminology like operator (Circumstantial) and operand (Concrete) since you're trying to present larger truths in terms of what you ultimately see deriving from a logical structure.

It's not about lost translation, delusions or misinterpretations within the Information Continuum.
We CHOOSE what we want to know even when we have all of the information laid out in front of us.
If it wasn't a matter of choice, we wouldn't keep making the same mistakes over and over again as individuals or as a people. We just keep hoping that when we put ourselves in the same bad situations over and over that we'll experience a different outcome. We know what we should do and we choose not to do it anyway based on our own selfish wants.
Same with God. We choose to believe or we don't based on our own free will, wants and desires.
Do we really perceive information differently? Or do we just choose, seek out and twist information enough to make it fit within what we want to believe based on selfishness, pride and ego? I bet the latter happens more than the former.edit on 27-10-2011 by Deetermined because: (no reason given)

You would still be a unique entity, but you would not be the identified whole that you built if you could physically accept that information. Not anymore. You'd be a product of your life and the sudden direct influx of someone else's information. The issue wouldn't be the information, the issue would be the contextual composition of the information itself, and the logical clash that this composition would encounter when shoehorned into the contextual whole you've created of yourself. There are strict logical protocols involved when massing information, and while your brain was still alive, it configured your own inimitable translations of all data that you perceived. This translated information belongs to you, and carries your "identity signature" within itself, in much the same sense that each cell in your body carries your DNA signature. Identity is THE primordial survival imperative expression, and each bit of you (corporeal and informational) carries your unique identity signature. For the Post-corporeal Human, that signature is (my own term, of course) the Primary Expression. It is the literal contextual composition that defines you as unique among all other existential wholes, and it can't change once the corporeal brain has finished creating it.
The Primary Expression is also why you won't ever return to live out another life as a corporeal human being. The injecting of contradictory identity into what already been established by way of the corporeal development process (a literal 2nd stage of human gestation) is simply not possible and only the unfettered subjective nature of human intellect is even capable of inventing such a notion. I have discovered why people believe in reincarnation, and why they believe that evidence exists to prove it, but it's a mistranslation of that evidence.
I also know that conscious awareness is a uniquely human property, and even the most epitomical intellectual expression - at its elemental core - is human regardless of the ultimate configuration. That spirit guide, if it can reason, is human, and since it is, it was corporeal at one point - regardless of what that means relative to its own specific situation
Concerning my ability to write, I agree that it's a problem, and what's really odd is that my other work - I am a writer, and have finished 5 books - is very different than what comes out of my keyboard when I work on this subject
One final question. How does your concept of the Information Continuum stack up against the Hindu concept of the Akashic Records?
The Akashic Record is fully informed in eternity, and is made of information, and has therefore had plenty of time to become self aware.

Duly noted. Not sure what you're suggesting, but I've noted it nonetheless. The brain is not the mind, even though the brain physically generates the unit bursts of intellect that gather as the mind. Beyond that basic statement, I have nothing to say in response to what you've posted here. It simply doesn't apply to the subject at hand.
en.wikipedia.org...
Dissociative identity disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis and describes a condition in which a person displays multiple distinct identities (known as alters or parts), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment.
The concern I'm having... Within your thoughts there's no clear indication as to how "this" came about. Your dynamics are scattered with nothing to contain vast consciousness via your limited perception. Again, you're grasping at straws. These ornate offerings are being held by a far greater system you have absolutely no concept of.
You're also highly suspect lacking physics.

I have decided to only focus on the drive from nothing to the epitome expression of both forms of physical existence, since the truth of scattered redundancy is obvious and not particularly interesting. The well-documented impact of natural selection and the divergence of individual existential expression are also fodder for other examinations, since neither does more than create nuance within the journey as a whole. Exception has never proven the rule, and it won't this time either.

Wow, glad I found this thread before it exploded.
NorEaster, thanks for this thread. I am actually doing the work, at present, to engage with you over this and I was actually dying for a thread wherein I might test my chops.
Nice work. I will cut to the chase. Didn't Plotinus already handle where you are going with your premise when he wrote this?
thriceholy.net...
Your floor plan seems to eschew a continuous emanation from The One, and seems to suggest you would like to segregate the floors.
I smell the whiff of a microcosmic demiurgos in your description of how The Intellect sees its reflection and finds itself to be God.
This miraculous ability of the PHC to utilize its subjective creativity is exemplified in all of your posts. So you got that goin' for ya.
Dude, don't go. I have been dying to have fun with this stuff with someone that is into it too. You're stuff rocks. I see it as post-post-modern cyber-punk neo-platonism at the moment. Change my mind if necessary.

I'll look into it, but if Plotinus didn't claim that the author of this reality confine initiated it as a form of procreation (obviously asexual) in order to satisfy the primordial Survival imperative expression Identity (as is the case with all that exists as dynamic and initiative) pushing its own identity core beyond the confines of its holon parameters via a suite of bi-gender survival expressions; including association, identity, symbiosis, isolation, and a full leveraging of the tenets of The Hierarchy of Kind, then no, Plotinus didn't already handle where I'm going with my premise.
