The World of the Terribly Obvious (Mar 31 2007) part 3

2:22 - placing your separate self at the center of the kosmos, rather than placing the kosmos at the center of your separate self

3:44 - lower holons determine the possibilities of the higher; the higher determines the probabilities of the lower

11:20 - delusions of reference; the delusion that something happening in the exterior world is there for a special reason just for me

11:53 - examples: six-month-olds, paranoid schizophrenics, purple / magenta magic, The Secret / Law of Attraction

12:20 - the magic level of consciousness has it that wholes with similar parts are equated

13:00 - also it confuses whole and part

14:21 - green was trying to transcend distancing, monolithic orange thinking, and made two mistakes

15:09 - it confused transrational feelings with prerational sensations

16:18 - and it confused synchronicity with nondual holism

18:43 - when you drop your everyday, ordinary awareness / consciousness / sense of self, whatever structure / level attempting to emerge is all that is left

22:22 - when the next phase of growth is about to occur, it may be triggered by an event that wouldn't have been noticed earlier

29:53 - quantum mechanics does not cause the higher levels - pranamayakosha causes quantum mechanics

30:14 - quantum mechanics has nothing to do with spirituality, other than it is a manifestation of spirit like everything else

32:08 - all this is Eros

51:44 - the question of freedom is how do we transcend; the question of fullness is how do we embrace

51:58 - the answer to the first question is the subject of one level becomes the object of the subject of the next level

51:34 - development through states is important (meditation)

51:37 - but you also want to have the states contribute to the growth into structures of consciousness

51:45 - you need both

52:48 - you can go through all transpersonal states and become further cemented in the dogma of your surrounding culture

53:57 - intellectual, conscious awareness of the structures does help you move through them

54:12 - without a good map of horizontal state-stages and vertical structure-stages, meditation can often keep you just on the horizontal path (through the transpersonal states)

54:37 - let's get some terminology for the differently-state-centered types of self-sense down

54:47 - a self-sense oriented at gross state is ego

54:58 - a self-sense oriented at soul / subtle state is soul

55:01 - a self-sense oriented at causal is Self

55:06 - a self-sense oriented at nondual is suchness

55:26 - meditation moves you through these states

55:48 - states are exclusive

56:23 - good definition of structure: a pattern of wholeness

56:57 - evolution is the process of states transforming into structures

57:12 - there are potentially many different structures possible

57:39 - having a peak experience can help you advance through the structures

58:14 - the contents of enlightenment can change as time passes

58:24 - an enlightened shaman at 4,000 BC is red - because that's all that was available at the time

59:18 - Gautama Buddha: orange structure, causal state

We are a group that is challenging the current paradigm in physics which is Quantum Mechanics and String Theory. There is a new Theory of Everything Breakthrough. It exposes the flaws in both Quantum Theory and String Theory. Please Help us set the physics community back on the right course and prove that Einstein was right! Visit our site The Theory of
