Facebook Post Simulated Reality Group - 10-21-2010

For a person to say that this world might be a simulation, and to feel it strongly, is for that person to be in a state of de-realization.

What is de-realization?

De-realization is a psychological state in which reality appears to not be reality. There is a sensed separation between the self and reality which surrounds it. Many psychological states have this as a symptom - schizophrenia, depression, Enlightenment, religious euphoria, alienation - just to name a few.

The latter is what interests me at the moment. De-realization and the idea of a simulated Earth have in common the thought that the reality currently experienced is not the ultimate reality which can be attained or regained. Those of us who sense a false reality may be visitors from a different reality which we use as the source reference, unlike those others who do not sense a false quality to the current reality and believe it to be true and valid.

Derealization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Derealization (DR) is an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems strange or unreal.

The entry makes no mention of the condition in which the perception or the experience is not altered, no mention of the person who has never felt quite comfortable or at ease with the external environment and how their alteration in perception or experience would be to experience or to perceive the external world as being normal and not strange or false at all. That's how the internal reality of a simulation would appear to those persons belonging to and having their source from within the simulation. Only those persons or viewpoints, perspectives if you will, only those entities whose source lies external to the simulation (or alien world) would notice something awry or missing as they observed the internal environment of their surroundings.

Simulation, alien environment or psychological misstep, whichever it is one thing stands out: The deep-seated feeling that this is not home.

~~~

At minimum there are two groups: The Simulated and the Non-Simulated.

The awareness of the Simulated is a product of the Simulation, they can know nothing else. The awareness of the Non-Simulated is a by-produced of something which lies beyond the Simulation. The Non-Simulated are able to sense the false quality of the current reality because their awareness is based in an external source - if nothing else, a higher simulation! Their consciousness, for whatever reason, has been interjected into a simulated environment, this one. The current reality set may be a classroom, a prison, a trap - or all three at once - it is impossible to tell.

However, there is a problem: Repeated interjections into the simulation may well confuse the mind for a time; but too many interjections (reincarnations) and the mind begins to collect itself, it begins to remember.

Those of us who sense the Simulation have begun to remember.

Lucid Dreams and Other Lessons Learned

The Divinity beyond-being is absolute and absolutely annihilating. It is the source from which everything emanates, the power that brings all things into being. Come too close and the human subject disappears; if it is not contemplated, it attacks, invades, annihilates, then annihilates annihilation. It shatters the apparatus of the human organism.

The creator cannot enter into the creation without destroying that which is created.

Death comes when the mind is no longer able to maintain an association to matter - the physical body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Mind desires experience. Awareness makes it possible, the Consciousness makes it fact. No Intention to affect others in an abnormal fashion or something not in the normal course of events can be generated. That should satisfy the requirements.

The Subconscious Mind thinks about the request and considers the parameters. If there are no violations, the Consciousness brings it into existence. This requires an understanding of Spiritual laws - Dharma. You can't violate anyone's right to free will.

Glitches do not appear because the Perception parses and makes perceived reality consistent with what has come before. Take baby steps!

Any alteration of consciousness will first be viewed as insanity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't take away my insanity - it's the only thing I can be certain of."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was happy because I thought the felicitous situation would continue. I was sad because I thought the same of less fortunate events - that it would continue and I would be lost. On both occasions, I was wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You never do discover the Truth. It just ceases to be an issue."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The area in between the node points is undefined. This is where Destiny happens.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Lucid Dreaming -

In Lucid Dreams, the Conscious Mind receives information not normally available to it.

Caution!!!

The Subconscious Mind creates in the dream realm but it is subservient to the Conscious Mind which rules waking reality and carries waking reality with itself into the dream realm. The Conscious Mind can override the Subconscious Mind if the Conscious Mind is placed in a situation where it can observe the Future. There is a tendency for the Conscious Mind to interpret the Future based on known events. The Future, however, may include or be brought about by unknown (to the Conscious Mind) Future events and corresponding node points.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Subconscious Mind needs to be activated as the Higher Self - recognized by the Conscious Mind as such. It then needs to be left alone to perform its function as the Creator of Waking reality. This means not allowing the Conscious Mind to interfere through criticism or micro-managing. No second guessing!

A positive optimistic attitude works best.

The switch must be made in placing the subconscious Higher Self in charge of waking reality rather than the Conscious Mind. You have to give the subconscious Higher Self permission to do what it needs to do, and then stay out of its way.

The Conscious Mind handles short term solutions that deal with the immediate present. The Higher Self Subconscious Mind handles long term solutions that deal with the Future. You have to stay focused! The Here and Now is the Safe Zone.

Those with Fate prevalent in their lives have more of a Path to follow than those born with a vast amount of free will or Destiny.

When you subject the psyche to a lot of stress, something happens. It is not magic, it is the body defending itself through an act of withdrawal. This offers the Mind an opportunity to have an encounter with itself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can't get stuck in the wonderment of Psychic Ability or be impressed with the Clairvoyant tricks you can do. You must relinquish that realm to the awakened Higher Self and return the Conscious Mind to waking reality.

Multi-Dimensions in Simulated Reality

"We are immersed in our learning of Four dimensions and are slowly becoming aware of a Fifth."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here I will introduce new terms for our discussions.

Outside Reality and Inside Reality. Between the two is a gray area in which neither reality functions. We will call this gray non-functioning area the Void or Chaotic Nothingness. It is in constant flux, or motion, and has the Potential to become or to clump and adhere together in the formation of a Realm.

Let's take apart a dream. A dream is a simulated reality, it is a Realm. Inside the dream is Inside Reality. Outside the dream, in the physical world, is Outside Reality. Everything inside the dream is created inside the dream. The raw material for the dream - memories and external sensory stimuli - is processed and becomes the 'stuff' of the dream. The processing happens in that gray area that is neither the waking reality nor the dream reality. It is both and neither at once. Dreams do not function properly here, neither does waking reality. Yet the observer must pass through it to travel from one realm, or inclusive reality, to the other. In this gray area, everything of the Observer is stripped away except for a Sense of Presence that is carried across the threshold and into the realms. The Dream Self stays in the dream. The Other Self (of which we can know nothing) remains Outside Reality. The Sense of Presence is Awareness. Knowledge, or that which we can know, is made from the action of the Consciousness. The two of these working together form the Mind - a Sense of Presence with Knowledge of itself and its surroundings.

The Sense of Presence travels Outside and Inside Reality. This leads to a Divine Entanglement of Outside Reality and Inside Reality due to the window or the gate created by the Sense of Presence as it travels from one to the other. This Entangled Reality travels with the Sense of Presence but in a Potential State of Being, a dormant state of Existence which does not function in the Destination Reality or in the Consciousness. Many within the simulation or Inside Reality sense this entanglement and name it God, or Brahma and such. Some take it a bit further and suggest that the Sense of Presence must be coming from some Outside Reality; much in the same way we exist outside our dreams as well as inside them, but in an altered state of Perception or reception that does not allow it or us to function in both simultaneously.

The Sense of Presence is limited to one or the other. It is a focal point, not the entire entity which may have an existence both Outside and Inside Reality. Our focal point, the Sense of Presence, is what determines Inside and Outside Reality as far as we're concerned. Whichever one we focus upon is Inside Reality, that which we ignore is Outside Reality. The Consciousness is concerned with designations of Inside and Outside. The Sense of Presence has an Awareness of both Realities but can only 'know' what the Consciousness knows. The Consciousness becomes entangled with whatever Reality is focused upon, names it Inside Reality and ignores the other as Outside Reality. It takes its cue from Awareness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I don't think we're concerned whether this is a simulated reality or not. What we want to do is have more internal control over how it manifests. If we want to leave, we will simply die."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is not a computer-based simulation, it is an awareness-based simulation. Awareness is the generator.

Awareness is not "in" us - we are appearing "in" Awareness. This is just like a dream in which we mistakenly identify only with a character in the dream rather than with the dreamer who is having the dream.

Awareness is the 'sense of presence' necessary for observing a simulation from within. That makes it a window to the outside, a Gate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Simulation as Translation -
We have been taught that Matter is reality. What if it is not? What if a simulated reality was needed in order for the Mind to experience Matter?

What we call simulated could also be an adaptation so that we can experience an environment foreign to us. Perhaps it is not as fluid and variable as we may think. Perhaps it is a distillation which we play back after processing - a static, unchangeable sample, an extraction, a slice of outside reality that we slow down and separate into parts for study. We could be self-aware probes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://www.hellboundhackers.org/articles/785-simulated-reality.html

"If we do indeed exist within a simulated reality there are two possibilities. The first is that we exist within a simulation where all events have been decided and we are merely following a pre-determined series of these events. The second is that the reality in which we exist is composed of complex algorithms and equations which allow us to think for ourselves and let us evolve as the program runs its course. In the latter it is probable that the entity which is controlling or overseeing the program does not know what will happen in our reality."

Or it could be a combination of the two, a third possibility: a predetermined series of events in which the thinking process is left open-ended. A controlled experiment in the development and operation of the Consciousness.

Free Will / A Sense of Choice -
Free will would be easy to fake. The requirement is a sense of choice, not actual choice. One path with a sense, or Illusion, that there were many available.

Precognition -
Not every event would need to be predetermined, just enough of them to keep the simulation moving in a certain direction. These node points, being part of the simulated reality, could be sensed from within the simulation as being the Future.

Sample Points -
Certain entities within the joint simulation / consciousness experiment would be sample points. These entities would be the ones most likely to be affected by Divine Entanglement, develop an awareness of a connection with the outside, and the ones Inside Reality most likely to sense the simulation's 'unreality'.

Clairvoyance. Look but don't Touch -
Depending on the type of connection, it may not be completely severable, making it a two-way gate.

The Dreamer Dreamed, the Observer Observed -
There are two parts to a simulation. The simulation itself and the observer of the simulation, the one immersed in it but not a part of it. Like in a dream, there is the dreamer and the creations that exist within the dream as a part of the dream. The dreamer is immersed in the dream but is not a part of it. The dreamer may wake up inside the dream, but the dreamed people never will, at least so far they haven't. I have not yet had a dreamed person look at me from inside the dream and say, "This isn't real!"

It is not quite accurate, however, to say that the dreamer is not part of the dream because they are, but they are related to it in a special way, being both creator and observer. Within the dream they are the Observer; outside the dream, they are the Creator. Sometimes the Creator side awakens inside the creation and realizes it as such.

It may be an inevitable part of a simulation that given enough experience and awareness of the simulated reality, the observer "wakes" up while still inside it; much like a lucid dreamer can wake up inside a dream and know the experience as a dream state without a disruption to the flow of the dream.

Lucid Dream -
The creator wakes up inside the creation and is able to identify the created counterpart within the creation as distinct (though not separate) from the other parts of the creation and as itself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Problem with Precognition

When the conscious mind fragments due to over or under stimulation - when the system overloads due to an extreme excess or an extreme lack of sensation, there is a separation of the self-identification into Creator of experience and Observer of experience.

The Observer creates an experience of intimate association with a sensed yet mysterious "presence".

The conscious mind as Observer is able to experience the sub-conscious mind as the creator of another kind of experience and names it 'God' or 'Spirit' or 'Divine Other'.

For as long as the separation persists the conscious mind plays the role of 'Seeker' seeking after an explanation for the sensed presence. When there is reintegration of the separate selves, the seeking ceases and the experience becomes a vague memory.

The conscious mind views the sub-conscious counterpart as quite separate and valid, real to the point that overt communication flourishes.

The sub-conscious mind becomes the Higher Self and who is to say that it is not truly God or at least God's divine portal?

Freed of the concerns that preoccupy the conscious mind, the sub-conscious can discern 'truth'.

The trouble with lucid dreaming is that the conscious mind will try to interpret what it is being shown instead of just observing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Seeing the Future -

Precognition is the universal mind taking a snapshot of the present moment and making a running a best guess scenario (some might say prediction) of what is least likely (i)not(i) to happen.

Precognition drops the insignificant.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Node Points -



Node Points are instances of Fate. The future can be seen if there is a node point in place. A person with a lot of direct Fate operating in their lifetime will be able to have these points observed by a sensitive of sufficient ability. Someone without a lot of direct Fate operating along their life line will not be able to have their Future seen because Destiny - personal choice, free will - is at work and therefore the Future is more of a variable than an immutable fact.

The path between node points is a person's Destiny. It is open to variance. This is where free will comes into play.

The events supporting the node points are inevitable and free will is limited in the expression and occurrence of those events. They must happen. Events between node points that have nothing o do with the occurrence of these fated events are free to be altered by choice. What you have for breakfast will not matter unless it supports or interferes with a node point. Then your choice will be predetermined by Fate and is unchangeable.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peripheral Involvement -

Node Points drive life forward and connect certain people together. Node Points and these connections form a web or a fabric to life's expression. Node Points can be seen by anyone with sufficient ability whether or not the node point has anything to do with them directly or personally. Because of this, node points can be avoided. But only by those who are not directly affected by them, whose node points they are not!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Titanic Example -

Some people can change their destiny by avoiding a fated event. They see something that does not directly involve them. That is why certain people are able to see the future, and alter their plans to avoid it. They can exercise their free will to not include the particular node point in their life line.

If, however, the node point is part their Fate, even actions taken to avoid its occurrence only moves them towards it.

It becomes necessary to observe the perspective by which the future event is observed. Does the node point present itself in the first person or from a third person point of view? Are you participant or observer?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Attempts at Warning -

In either case, you will not receive enough information to prevent the incident from taking place. Your involvement might actually bring the event closer. Your attempts at warning would then be Fated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are two kinds of Future, the Foreseeable Future and the Unforeseeable Future. The Foreseeable Future is Fate. Anyone with sufficient ability can see it.

The Unforeseeable Future is Destiny. It is in constant flux and is unpredictable due to free will of the participants.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some people only have two points of Fate. They are born and they die. Everything in between is free will. The less one's actions and choices influence or have an affect on others, the more free will they have in their decisions. The more one's actions and choices influence or have an affect on others, the less free will they have in their choices. The situation can reach a point with a person whose life is extremely fated, that they have no choice - no free will at all - in their actions. They then become observers and fulfill their roles as such.

The Dreamer Dreaming

This is a misunderstanding. This is the Dreamer dreaming. Some of you have awakened inside the dream. This was not supposed to happen. You are not insane, and yes, there are inconsistencies within the dream. But having awakened, you are now engaged upon a search for Truth. The truth is, this never happened, never will happen, never has happened. It is a dream. The One is dreaming it is not One. The dream, the awakening, and the subsequent striving for Truth, are all taking place within the dream. They are Illusions. There is only the One engaged in a dream. The bliss of Enlightenment for instance; how can there be an experience of bliss unless there is a self to have the experience? The bliss is part of the dream. It is an Illusion of separation. It is the One dreaming.

The One now dreams it is a Seeker searching for Truth. It will soon discover that it is the One and that there are no others. There never has been, there never will be, there are no others now. The knowledge exists within the dream. It is there because the Dreamer has awakened inside the dream. Many do not awaken and have no idea that this is a dream. For them it is reality. There are no inconsistencies, no conflicts to resolve within their experience of Life. That is reserved for the Seeker.

In the end the Seeker will come to the conclusion that there is only the One. The One is not aware of us here within the dream unless it awakens within the dream to discover the mystery and confusion of multplicity. The Seeker is the One awakened within the dream and searching for itself. There can be no resolution within the dream, only knowledge that the dream is Illusory. Nevertheless, having awakened, there can be no sleep, and the Seeker must wander in search for answers to a question that is best not asked.

Do not pity those who have not awakened. They do not need to be awakened to the Truth. They are the Dreamer dreaming, just as we who have awakened are the Dreamer dreaming. There is only the One - whether we have awakened or not; and none of us exist outside the dream.

The Containment Dilemma

I realized something about existence when I was eight years old. I wondered about God. My religion and my parents, grandparents, etc all said that God lived in Heaven and if I was good I might get to go there when I died. OK. Fine. So...where was this Heaven?
In the sky, I was told. God lives in Heaven and Heaven is in the sky. OK so far.

Who made Heaven?

God made Heaven.

Where did God get the stuff to make Heaven?

Well, God made the stuff to make Heaven.

Uhmmm...where did God get the stuff to make the stuff to make Heaven?

Now we run into a problem. Because the only answer that makes any sense is that God got the stuff from God; which would mean that we and everything else are little parts of God wandering around pretending we don't know each other and perhaps even worse, pretending that we do not know that we are God pretending not to know!

That answer, of course, is unacceptable in the Abrahamic school of thought community and quite beyond the conceptualization powers of a lot of good intentioned people - like parents and grandparents.

This is the Containment Dilemma. We expect reality (or existence if you prefer) to come in discretely contained packages. We objectify reality-existence through a cause-and-effect mentality. The expectation breaks down when the conversation turns to the Origins of Existence. Why? Because the only answer that makes any sense is that at some point there is no more containment of objects. In order to explain reality-existence, objects and their separate distinctions have to disappear. Everything does not become One as we are taught in the Enlightenment Advanced Studies class. Everything becomes Nothing.

As long as there is a something before to start from, there is a something that the something before came from, ad infinitum. We usually use God as a cap to end the regression of Containment after which we say mysterious and unclear things that mean, Stop asking those difficult questions!

If our cause-effect, hierarchical, containment-necessary explanation of Existence does not work unless it endlessly loops back upon itself, it means that this reality-existence we call "home" is not truly 'real'. It is an artificial environment, an anomaly whether accidental or deliberately created. At some point in the explanation, the next level of being for reality-existence is '...and then there were none'.

No Time, no space, no measurement of any kind. No beginning, no end. And not because it was always there, but because it was never there.

How's This for News...

Ascension -

1. The rise of the "Christ-Consciousness" to the point that the individual is beyond the powers of reincarnation.

2. After reincarnation the soul is released from the wheel of karma.

3. The word "resurrection" as found in the New Testament can be translated as "ascension".

Ascension is basically a change in focus of consciousness-awareness. Awareness is the key factor as it is the primal nature of the Source.

See 'Mind Ascension'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mind Ascension - How Beings from Another Dimension are Helping Transform Material Bound Consciousness Through Information that is being Telepathically Communicated...

At this time a Mind Ascension has begun, and all minds extended from particular intentions that are either non-ascending or have concluded their karma are being retracted. The Ascension retracts the dream of the life, and the individual simply exists physically in one manner or another until the current dream ceases. The time of departure has begun and any available minds not necessary for holding open the Gate are preparing to leave the Realm of Substance.

Spirit is working to end this expression of the One. There are those among us who are Fifth-Dimensional beings operating on the Fifth Dimension while remaining physically in the fourth-dimensional reality of time and space. We see and think things that were not possible before.

You are being asked to cooperate in this exodus, you are not being forced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Realm of Substance

The Realm of Substance -

We exist in the Realm of Substance. Beyond this realm are many others - or perhaps there is only one! Nevertheless, our boundary of awareness is defined by the Chaotic state of Nothingness which [begins] the Realm of Substance. This 'Aqdab Gate' serves as a portal to any realms which may be other than our current realm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Realm of Substance -

Aqdab Gate - Chaos of Nothingness
Awareness - Beingness
The Consciousness
Mind
NRJ
Low-Level Existence
  High-Level Existence
    Multiple Parallel Dimensions of Existence
      Non-Matter
        Spirit / God
      Matter
         Life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There can be realms or Dimensions of Hierarchy within the Realm of Substance. For instance, the Spirit-God Dimension is considered to be higher than the Clairvoyant-Psychic; which is considered to be higher than the Physical-Material.

The Realm of Substance requires a Mind to lend it experience. That is why Existence seems to suddenly appear. There is no gradual build up to a state of Mind, it is either in effect or it is not. The first experience of Substance is in the Mind as NRJ. The Mind's first experience of NRJ is through the formation of Non-Matter or Mind in association with Non-Matter as Spirit. At a lower or latter level in the sequence is Mind's association with Matter as Life.

Mind in association with Matter as Life cannot have a direct interaction of Mind in association with Non-Matter as Spirit; they are mutually exclusive states. Spirit, therefore, cannot interact directly with Matter or material states of being in a successful manner due to the destructive effect Non-Matter has on Matter - it wants to change it into energy. If Spirit has successful non-destructive interactions with Matter, it is usually accomplished through the Mind as a Thought or an Intention.

The Dimension of Material Reality is uni-dimensional, meaning that it stands isolated. The Dimension of Non-Matter or Spirit is multi-dimensional, meaning that it is connections to other dimensions. The Mind can "travel" across dimensions more readily from the dimension of Non-Matter than it can from the dimension of Matter.

Life is the result of Mind's association with Matter. The problem is that once Mind forms an association with Matter, it becomes very difficult for the Mind to relinquish its grasp. Upon experiencing Life, the Mind tries in a futile gesture to grab and to hold onto as much of material existence as it can. This sets the conditions for multiple life experiences or re-incarnation loops. If the Mind is to regain its access to other dimensions, however (and more importantly, to other realms!) it must first relinquish its preoccupation with Matter and let go of its hold on the material dimension of existence.

The Three Dimensions of Time

I did a post a while back in another blog regarding the three types of mind. The subject matter concerned the three dimensions of Time commonly known to us as Past, Present and Future. The point was that we can 'travel' to these other dimensions of Time by changing the way we think about the associated reality and in this way gather valuable information. But the information is valid only within its context and must be understood from the perspective of its dimension.

The Past is accessed through Memory. The Future becomes available through Imagination. The Present is sensed through Perception. This means you are perfectly capable of recalling the Future just as well as you can remember the Past. It is simply that the Future is as yet unformed.

In the same manner that we can travel through the dimensions of Time, we can also travel through dimensions of other existences. We simply change the way in which we think about Existence.

We currently have a vocabulary for the three Time dimensions - Past, Present, Future - we have yet to create a universal language for other-dimensional interactions.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Past and Memory -

Here's an esoteric way to think about Memory:

The Akashic Record continually updates any and all imprints into the medium. Every change no matter how small is read into the Akashic Record as if it were a static occurrence in time and space. This gives the appearance that physical reality is a solid unchanging and linear progression, and further, that once something has occurred in the fabric of time and space, it remains forever unchanged.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Future and the Imagination -

Every moment of every day in linear time, minds are creating new possible and probable time lines in the infinity of time-space. In any given moment, you have an infinite number of possible paths to choose from in order to manifest your next moment. Hence every thought, however imperceptible, changes the nature of the time-space continuum.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Present and Perception -

The only reality is the 'Now' moment. Stretching to either side, however, is the illusion of Past and Future. This overlap of Memory, Perception and Imagination creates the illusory suggestion that a Present exists.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The Observer Position -

'Now' is not really a time at all, it is a perspective from the observer position. Wherever the observer is, is 'Now'.

~~~~~~~~~~~

The 'Now' Moment -

I only know of two ways to demonstrate the reality of other dimensions. Both involve the 1/5th of a second it takes for the brain to process sensory information. I call this 'A View from the Fifth Dimension' due to my interpretation of its being an instance of the Fifth Dimension seeping into the Fourth Dimension through the 'Now' moment; which is actuality no Time at all but an observer perspective.

If 'Now' could be given a Time frame, it would be 1/5th of a second. I believe it is in this 1/5th of a second that the opportunity for manifestation presents itself. If indeed it takes us that long to process raw Existence into something we can understand through sensory perception.

A Short Story from Sufi Tales An'Qarin

Bem-Salef
by the modabid al-Adel Hassan

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The little sliver of whatever passes for the woman's day sits as a line of faded color on the distant horizon.

She sighs a prayer, hopes that the poet Bem-Salef will reconsider and end it all - until she falters. And then sometime later, with the moon looming large and magnificent over her head the woman turns from her position at the window to once again ponder the obscure shadows hidden deep within the room's dimly lit interior.

In her hand she clutches a strand of prayer beads, clutches them so tightly that her knuckles crack in protest. She has done this many times before, the Yasmin. The sunset, the dunes, and the moonlight are her eternal companions.

There is the sound of paper rustling like silk veils lifting as one and hovering over an oasis that is many realities in the same moment - an imaginary heaven whose bestowment the Yasmine may not abide nor even consider lest it hem her in, jumble itself together in a tangled scheme, or come apart altogether at unexpected moments.

Sometimes the story abruptly ceases, ending in corridors with ascending stone steps; sometimes dissolving mid air amidst a song recalled from her own distant past.

Once upon a time not long ago she had passed through a section of verse that was somehow corruptly poised above a confused proliferation of neurotic viewpoints which had a flickering , sparse and uncertain illumination. Discarded ideas floated freely in the sky like clouds. Their relevance lost between pale wisps of pungent sweet-smelling blue smoke. Multiple visions had crowded the same low ceiling. It had been a nonsense of design and had subsequently been destroyed.

She was close this time, very very close ....she could see it now: The story had a spiraling design!

Each level written as a separate existence that was completely negated by the level directly above it; each level's existence thereafter was completely negated by the level directly above it, so that the pattern and style of each successive negation always varied from the manner in which the levels below were negated by the levels above.

The Yasmin found she could not quite focus on their content however. The levels were cluttered with crossed out lines and clustered dots, eclectic marks and cryptic anagrams so distorted that she could make no sense of it at all.

Her hands were locked in a paralyzed grip of agony. Her knuckles were pale. The ends of her fingertips were turning a dangerous shade of blue. She had been gazing at the written and unwritten pages for so long she had lost all track of time. Her legs were numb. She herself, frightened and dazed. She stood and stumbled, then slumped to one side; the floor rose up, and - flumpf!

Bem abruptly started, reached out. Too late. The manuscript had fallen. Gone was the visionary other side of Bem's cloudy curtain. The reverie faded. His precious poem was lost.

And here the poet's narration ceases altogether; and when the end to our tale comes, the Yasmin ed-Dallal has forgotten she ever existed anyway. Old words, new verses. Each gathering dust.

For that is how things invariably went with the poet Bem-Salef, ever since the loss of his fair Alyoucha. Every poem of his eventually mentioned dust. Dust in a wilderness where nothing ever transpired.

Not this. Not anything....

The modabid Sessions - Pt 4

"We say God loves us as a comfort - the thought of such a powerful being is threatening to our peace of mind."


"What right-thinking Soul would leave the glory of Heaven
for such a place as this?"

[For the purposes of discussion, we will assume that souls exist.]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where do souls come from?

Do they originate in a higher realm or come from a lower one, passing through the earth on their way to heaven?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Souls -
General consensus suggests that souls come from God.

On God -
"There is a self-sustaining and consistent force that rules the universe. That appears obvious. But exactly what it is, this force - that is a mystery we have yet to unravel."

The Big Question -
If souls have their origins in a higher realm, what are they doing here?

The Possible Answer -
There is a certain fascination of spirit associated with the material realm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In order to experience one reality, it is necessary to ignore or to forget another, or to at least to ignore or to forget certain aspects of reality which define the other's existence."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Discussion -

Q: The Necessity of Ignorance stated above creates a problem - If a soul forgets where it comes from, how does it get back?

A: Forgetting has been described by various religions as a turning away from God or as a kind of original sin that pushes a soul out of heaven.

This action of forgetting is not always viewed as a negative. Certain beliefs see it as an accepted requirement for experience to occur on the material realm.

Perception of the physical blocks out or ignores certain aspects of reality in favor of others. Human understanding of the observable universe is based on experienced gained through perception. This form of knowledge works well in securing a physical survival, but it is not sufficient to return a soul to its heavenly existence. A different kind of knowledge is needed for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: But if the soul has forgotten the reality of heaven in order to experience the material realm, where does a lost soul gain the knowledge needed to return it to its place of origin?

A: To resolve the problem of forgetfulness God regularly sends a manifested soul as an expression of the divine will. This manifested soul has no free will of its own. Although outwardly human in other respects, it expresses God's will. The manifested soul has a foot in both worlds - the material and the spiritual - and thus retains knowledge of its source.

The recurring mission is to transfer this knowledge to those lost souls desirous of a homeward returning.

The intermediary soul serves variously as a gate, an angel, an avatar, and a modabid. The assigned task determines the form an intermediary soul takes in fulfilling God's intention.

Gates hold open God's portal and point the way to God's Essence. Angels deliver messages. Avatars provide instructive education to key individuals who then educate others. Modabids seek out misinterpreted knowledge and make the appropriate corrections as needed.

This latter brings up a common misconception regarding the teachings of Islam. The Holy Quran is a recorded conversation between God and the angel Gabriel. The messenger is the angel, not Mohamed, who is later made recipient of the conversation's content. The recurrent 'we' of the Quran is actually God and the angels in discourse.

Mohamed decided God was talking personally to him and set in motion the first Islam which is to be replaced by the greater Islam as foretold in the Quran.

Islam is not a religion.

Islam is intended as a way of attaining reconciliation and peace with God. It is a philosophy. The Muslim religion is a result of the lesser Islam. It is the first practiced form of Islam. The results and nature of the greater Islam are still to come, "...to be revealed in a time and place of God's own choosing."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: So what is the remembering that an Intermediary Soul delivers?

A: The message of angels varies according to time and need, as does the education provided by avatars. The modabid's task is to transmit knowledge regarding the state of reality which transcends the material realm yet provides a foundation for its existence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

False Divine Intermediaries -

Many will claim possession of God's will as a way of elevating their status and acquiring worldly gain. Others put their trust completely in these persons and blindly follow these pretenders because they know of nothing else to do.

The modabid Sessions - Pt 3

Involution -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the lowest point of Existence, or at the Creation-Level, there is an interaction of Mind with Matter.

The Intention of Mind is to inhabit Matter.

The Purpose is to explore the Material Realm.

The Result is Life.

An association of Mind to Matter creates the Etheric.

The Etheric is an envelope which contains Life; it is the "glue" between Mind and Matter.

An Envelope is a certain set of conditions that, when associated with Substance, make certain phenomenon possible that otherwise would not take place.

Spirit is such an envelope; it happens when Mind forms an Intention to inhabit Non-Matter.

The influence of Spirit can be seen as heat and light within the Observable Universe.

Spiritual influence is emitted as energy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Spiritual-Beings happen when Mind forms an Intention to inhabit Non-Matter.

Spirit is the result, it is not the purpose. The Purpose is to explore Non-Matter.

Life-Beings happen when Mind forms an Intention to inhabit Matter.

Life is the result, it is not the purpose. The Purpose is to explore Matter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Is there a dissolution of the Soul?

A: On this matter of a Soul.

Spirit is not Life and Life is not Spirit.

The notion of a Soul is best stated as being the experiences and the memories the Mind takes with it from Life.

A living body is composed of many Minds working in harmony.

When Death occurs, the many Minds dissolve their group associations and continue onward toward their own Becoming.

Each retains a part of the experience that was life.

Survival of the Personality is an Holistic projection that can be reproduced by associating the particular memory of each concerned Mind with the same memory of Self.

The re-created Self will remember only the Life-Time it occupied and will not remember any Time Backwards or Forwards of that Time.

It will not perceive or recognize any object, concept, or living thing that did not [appear] within its Life-Time.

The re-created Self is not a Spirit Form, it is the Memory from a composite moment of Mind's association with Matter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Q: Are there Angels and such?

A: There are Beings of Spirit just as there are Beings of Life.

All things contain Spirit, but not all things contain Life.

The influence of Spirit can best be stated as: "I Am Also That."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There is an interval of Time necessary for change to happen within the Physical Realm, a number of steps or 'Sequences of Change' that must be gone through.

Spirit can be experienced in the form of physical energy - heat and light - as any material change in state approaches near instantaneous.

The larger the Sequence of Change in relation to the brevity of Time, the more Spirit appears as an influence.

The Influence of Spirit can be destructive to Matter, and so may cause a disassociation of Mind to Matter, Insanity, or Physical Death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Uv-taars -

God as a Spiritual Being cannot have direct contact with a living thing because it results in the disassociation of Mind to Matter. Therefore, Material Existence is provided association with Divine Spirit through Intermediary Souls.

The Mind of an Intermediary Soul is set equally between the Spirit and the Etheric, with one face to God and one face to Matter. Contact from God is made through Intermediary Souls who hold the Intention to do God's will.

Intermediary Souls have no free will in choosing what they do or say, however they are able to think any thought and to hold any opinion they wish.

When an Intermediary Soul is used to transport Intention from one Dimension to another it is called a 'Divine Manifestation'.

Intention is that which a Mind decides to do itself or to have done by another.

The modabid Sessions - Pt 2

Consciousness, Awareness, and Existence -

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Consciousness is 0 1.

It is not the zero. It is not the one.

It is the Difference between the two.

The Consciousness is what allows the Mind to detect Difference;

to say that something is there, and that something is not there.

The Chaos of Nothingness is zero. It is not 'there'.

Beingness is one. It is 'there'.

Beingness is the thought, "I Am".

"I Am" is Awareness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consciousness makes Difference possible.

NRJ is Difference given definition.

Thoughts associated with NRJ are variations of the First Thought "I Am".

They are: "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That"

01011001

Mind reads the Difference and creates Existence.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consciousness is Experience,

but first it must become Energy of Mind.

The Consciousness holds the Thought, "I Am Not That".

The reference is Awareness and beyond that, the Chaos of Nothingness.

There is a recognized Difference between Awareness as Beingness and the Chaos of Nothingness.

The Consciousness is NOT the Difference. The Consciousness is the Difference recognized.

The presence of Awareness is the Difference between Beingness and the Chaos of Nothingness.

The First Thought, "I Am'" becomes "I Am Not That" through an intercession of the Consciousness.

Difference is now possible through the Energy of the Mind - NRJ.

The Thoughts associated with NRJ are variations of the First Thought, "I Am"; they are: "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Consciousness makes Difference possible.

NRJ is the Difference given definition.

Mind reads the Difference and creates Existence.

Existence is Experienced in Dimensions.

Variations in NRJ define the Reality for any particular Dimension.

Variations are also known as "vibrations".

Variations are multiple combinations of the three Thoughts: "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That"

The Essential "That" not to be is the Awareness of Beingness; this creates the Consciousness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Existence becomes Reality -

Various "Not Thats" push against various "Am Thats";

and as each "Not That" combines with each "Am That", various "Also Thats" are formed.

This Dance of NRJ is called Complexity. It happens at the Creation-Level of Existence, also known as Low-Level Existence.

Complexity comprises the Observable Universe.

The Observable Universe happens at the High-Level of Existence.

Observation of the Universe happens across multiple Dimensions of High-Level Existence.

Experience is filtered through Perception, of which there are many types.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The modabid Sessions - Pt 1

I am the modabid.


So what does that mean?

What does it mean to be a modabid?


The modabid is the single point of Reality in a world of Illusion.

I can say, "I am the modabid."

When I am writing this book.

You can say, "I am the modabid."

When you are reading this passage.

We are all the modabid at one time or other;

as both an affirmation, and as a confirmation of Truth.


Where does it Begin?

It begins with the Chaos of Nothingness.

But we can have no comprehension of what that means because there is no logic or information within the Chaos of Nothingness for the Mind to grasp and hold onto.

So we say it begins with Awareness.

Awareness is Beingness. It is the First Thought, "I Am."

Being versus Existence

Being versus Existence

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's try not to get lost in the semantics."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Non-Existence / Pre-Existence / Low-Level Existence / High-Level Existence

Non-Existence / Beingness

Pre-Existence / the Consciousness

Low-Level Existence / NRJ

High-Level Existence / the observable universe

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

High-Level Existence is from [the quantum level] up - quarks, atoms, elephants, trees and rocks etc are examples of High-Level Existence. At this point, science kicks in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some fundamental questions

The principal questions of ontology are "What can be said to exist?" and "Into what categories, if any, can we sort existing things?"

Ontology is the philosophical study of the nature of being, existence or reality in general, as well as of the basic categories of being and their relations. Traditionally listed as a part of the major branch of philosophy known as metaphysics, ontology deals with questions concerning what entities exist or can be said to exist, and how such entities can be grouped, related within a hierarchy, and subdivided according to similarities and differences.

Ontology is inquiry into being in so much as it is being, or into being in general, beyond any particular thing which is or exists; and the study of beings insofar as they exist, and not insofar as, for instance, particular facts obtained about them or particular properties relating to them. Take anything you can find in the world, and look at it, not as a puppy or a slice of pizza or a folding chair or a president, but just as something that is. More specifically, ontology concerns determining what categories of being are fundamental and asks whether, and in what sense, the items in those categories can be said to "be".

Ontology is the study of that which is common to all things which exist.

Examples of ontological questions include:

* What is existence?
* Is existence a property?
* Which entities are fundamental?
* How do the properties of an object relate to the object itself?
* What features are the essential, as opposed to merely accidental, attributes of a given object?
* How many levels of existence or ontological levels are there?
* What is a physical object?
* Can one give an account of what it means to say that a physical object exists?
* Can one give an account of what it means to say that a non-physical entity exists?
* What constitutes the identity of an object?
* When does an object go out of existence, as opposed to merely changing?
* Why does anything exist rather than nothing? (This overlaps with questions in cosmology.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The An'Kareen -
Everything that we can apprehend is but one part of a single entity. This idea somewhat anticipates the modern concept of an ultimate grand unification theory that finally explains all of reality in terms of one inter-related sub-atomic reality which applies to everything.

Forms must exist not only of Being, but also of Negation and of non-Being (or Difference)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Being (unique and unchanging)

Becoming - The dynamic aspect of being.

With Existence, 'Being' becomes 'Becoming'.

Becoming can be used as a term for potentiality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Essence versus Substance
Beingness versus Existence
Awareness versus the Consciousness

NRJ = Difference = Substance

Awareness contains Difference but the Difference is Undifferentiated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Process of Involution -

There is no First Cause; there is only opportunity, potentiality, circumstance that is not accidental but merely unspecified. The Chance of Possibility.

Wher did Awareness come from?

There was no first cause, no reason [intellect] or purpose involved. There was Circumstance and the Chance of Possibility; not accidental but merely unspecified. The Chance of Possibility was/is the Potential for Something to appear out of Nothing. The Circumstance was/is Chaotic Nothingness about which we can know nothing.

This is [all] the Chance of Possibility that all this could actually happen.

The Consciousness [recognizes/detects] Difference - makes Difference possible. It is an enabler like the etheric and the Spirit. It forms an envelope/environment in which there can be Difference. It displaces Awareness/Beingness and [sets up the circumstance for Pre-Existence] through recognition of NRJ [modes of Difference].

It's a form of simulation real to the participants for as long as they remain within the simulation.

Awareness looks inward at itself. The Mind asks, "What Am I?" and answers, "I Am the Mind." To go beyond that, to the Source of Mind - Chaotic Nothingness about which we can know nothing - of necessity, dissolves the Mind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Evolution -

Awareness [the Mind] explores Difference. Difference is Complexity.

In philosophy, essence is the attribute or set of attributes that make an object or substance what it fundamentally is, and which it has by necessity, and without which it loses its identity.

Essence is defined as the essential part of a thing; its Beingness or Awareness. The Mind. In order for us to experience a thing, it must first have Beingness. Non-Beingness is the Chaotic Nothingness of which we can know nothing - it is beyond our comprehesion. Why? Because it is Non-Beingness. There is nothing for us to grab onto either physically or mentally.

Existence 'appears' to the Mind through the Consciousness. The Consciousness establishes the circumstance for Difference. It does this by stating, "I Am Not That," meaning Awareness. NRJ is the Difference. It is an extention of the thought, "I Am Not That," which is itself a variation on the Original Thought, "I Am" - NRJ states, "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That".

"I Am Also That" - the Consciousness ultimately realizes that for a complete definition of itself, it needs to include Awareness as the thing it pushes away from.

The Consciousness references another thing; something outside itself that gives it definition - "I Am Not That". Awareness is self-referencing - "I Am".

It may be said that NRJ is the dynamic aspect of being - "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That" - or - Awareness / Not Awareness / Awareness. NRJ is the Mind becoming the Mind by an elimination of Difference through Inclusion. Awareness becoming Awareness with a Difference. The Difference progresses in Complexity until it becomes indistiguishable from Chaotic Nothingness. The Mind finally declares that it is the Chaotic Nothingness of which it can have no comprehension, and dissolves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Manifestation -

When you manipulate something, you open it up and access the "I Am Also That" of it - the thing's Spirit. That is your handle. Your Spirit makes a connection with the thing's Spirit. There is no spoon because the spoon becomes an extension of your own self.

Whenever there is change, there is a corresponding release of NRJ. Harmonious releases of NRJ appear as instances of synchronicity. Rapid, abrupt or forced change, appears as light and heat on the physical realm; it is usually accompanied with unpredictable violence. Events are unexpected and sudden.

"I Am Also That" is as close to Beingness as Existence can come. "I Am Also That" is Spirit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beingness -

So if Beingness is the basis for everything, what is Beingness defined as being?

Beingness is defined as being something that is not nothing. In other words, Beingness is not the Chaos of Nothingness. Anything not the Chaos of Nothingness is Beingness. We cannot comprehend Chaotic Nothingness, but we can comprehend Beingness. We do this by exploring the states of Beingness - "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That" - called Existence. Anything that is other than Beingness/Awareness/Mind or Nothingness/Chaos is Existence/NRJ/the Consciousness. Exploring Existence to understand Beingness is called Becoming or Evolution. The Consciousness developing as Low-Level Existence [NRJ] through the process of Complexity is called Involution.

"I Am" is the identification of an individual who is not Chaotic Nothingness. "I Am That" / "I Am Not That" / "I Am Also That" is identification of an individual in reference to other individuals.

Time is a thing of High-Level existence.

These things of Low-Level Existence do not happen within a time frame. They happen within a Sequence of Circumstance. The Circumstance provides the opportunity for further Compexity by opening or widening the potential for something to compare itself to something else. This is tricky; it is a function of the Mind. As soon as the thought is produced, "I Am Not That" there is a potential established in which something can be seen as 'not being' another thing which states, "I Am Not That [first thing]" and so on. The Original First Thought, "I Am" establishes the Circumstances for "I Am Not That" if only in referencing Chaotic Nothingness.

In order to fully understand what it is, Awareness must realize that it is indeed "Also That" - in referencing Chaotic Nothingness - at which point Awareness dissolves back into its Source and becomes Chaotic Nothingness. This is the culmination of the evolutionary process. Upon recognition of Source, the evolving identity dissolves into and becomes its identified Source. This is called Fusion of the Spirit - "I Am Also That". When this happens to Beingness, there is a state of Non-Beingness beyond which we can know nothing.

Simulation Series - Explaining the Simulation

Explaining the Simulation -

"The simulation is produced from something unlike the simulation. From outside the simulation anything inside the simulation is seen to be Illusion; while inside the simulation, the same things are seen to be reality."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First of all, you are not your body. Your body is part of the simulation. Your mind is the player, the witness, the observer, the soul. God is the system's administrator. The universe is the system; it is self sustaining and consistent. God the administrator put the universe together, set it into motion and walked away. No further maintenance is required. But if somehow the system becomes unstable or requires an update the system can introduce subroutines to correct the problem. This subroutine fixware appears in the form of demons, angels, djinn, avatars, and modabids. There is no direct interaction of the system with the administrator. The only evidence of the administrator is in fact the system and the corrective fixware which is compatible with the system yet which lies beyond the system. Fixware becomes active within the system when needed.

The player is limited to observing only what is within the system. There are, however, hidden levels within the system that can be activated through a proper understanding of the system's composition. These levels are commonly called Dimensions or Realms. One is the Clairvoyant or the Psychic Realm. A higher realm is non-physical; it does not require processing through the physical senses so no physical presence is necessary - the body does not go there. Our observer self is essentially independent of any particular platform.

The higher realms are organized through Sequence. The physical realm is organized through a relative sense of Past, Present, and Future; or through what is known as Time. The system makes use of Time so that events seem to flow in a progressive and unidirectional manner.

I am not saying that we are living in a computer simulation of reality. This experience is much more sophisticated and it is not a simulation of reality, it is reality. Our existence is the result of a process which generates realities. We are living in one.

I have included the following although I do not necessarily agree with it.

http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=RealityAsSimulation

"Simulating the entire universe down to the quantum level is obviously infeasible... But in order to get a realistic simulation of human experience, much less is needed -- only whatever is required to ensure that the simulated humans, interacting in normal human ways with their simulated environment, don't notice any irregularities."

The observation of distant stars could easily be simulated without having to simulate every aspect of their internal processes. Microscopic phenomena could also be simulated "as needed" to satisfy a particular observer at a particular time.

***
Me: In fact the only thing necessary is an observer. Everything else, including other life forms human or not, could be produced in a similar fashion.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"If we are living in a simulation, then the cosmos that we are observing is just a tiny piece of the totality of physical existence. The physics in the universe...that is running the simulation may or may not resemble the physics of the world we observe. While the world we see is in some sense 'real', it is not located at the fundamental level of reality." [which we could never perceive]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In some ways, the post-humans running a simulation are like gods in relation to the people inhabiting the simulation: the post-humans created the world we see; they are omnipotent in the sense that they can interfere in the workings of our world even in ways that violate its physical laws; they are omniscient in the sense that they can see everything that happens."

wikipedia:

Post-Human -

In critical theory, the post-human is a speculative being that represents or seeks to enact a re-writing of what is generally conceived of as human. It is the object of post-humanist criticism, which critically questions Renaissance humanism, a branch of humanist philosophy which claims that human nature is a universal state from which the human being emerges; human nature is autonomous, rational, capable of free will, and unified in itself as the apex of existence. Thus, the post-human recognizes imperfection and disunity within him or herself, instead understanding the world through context and heterogeneous perspectives while maintaining intellectual rigor and a dedication to objective observations of the world. Key to this post-human practice is the ability to fluidly change perspectives and manifest oneself through different identities. The post-human, for critical theorists of the subject, has an emergent ontology rather than a stable one; in other words, the post-human is not a singular, defined individual, but rather one who can "become" or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives.

The post-human is not necessarily human in the first place, but is rather an embodied medium through which critical consciousness is manifested.

Definition -

A post-human is a hypothetical future being "whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards."

The difference between the post-human and other hypothetical sophisticated non-humans is that a post-human was once a human, either in its lifetime or in the lifetimes of some or all of its direct ancestors. As such, a prerequisite for a post-human is a trans-human, the point at which the human being begins surpassing his or her own limitations, but is still recognizable as a human person or similar. In this sense, the transition between human and post-human may be viewed as a continuum rather than an all-or-nothing event.

Post-human God -

A variation on the post-human theme is the notion of a "Post-human God"; the idea that post-humans, being no longer confined to the parameters of "humanness", might grow physically and mentally so powerful as to appear possibly god-like by human standards. This notion should not be interpreted as being related to the idea portrayed in some science fiction that a sufficiently advanced species may "ascend" to a higher plane of existence - rather, it merely means that some post-human beings may become so exceedingly intelligent and technologically sophisticated that their behavior would not possibly be comprehensible to modern humans, purely by reason of their limited intelligence and imagination. The difference here is that the latter stays within the bounds of the laws of the material universe, while the former exceeds them by going beyond it.
