Comparisons...


AUTISTIC - Mystical
  1. Fact based consciousness - Thoughts and experiences organized chronologically or by logical categories (Philosophical thinker; many features of what we commonly call reality cannot be proven as being real) (Are events organized Chronologically or Sequentially? Do logical categories mean by relationship to each other?)
  2. Knowledge as the goal, analysis as the tool - The autistic has simple desires, such as to fulfill curiosity and avoid trouble (Desire for peace and exploration; witness consciousness)
  3. Emotions are at the edges of consciousness, tying together any unexplainable areas (Similar to how the God concept is used to explain the unexplainable)
  4. Thinks in imagery. Audio-visual imagination separated from tactile senses (like watching a movie) (Spiritual Tongue; ability to visualize; pre-language; thoughts without words; poetic pictures) (Some call the state of being this document describes a modabid. A modabid is a dream of colors and spoken images.)
  5. Self has an open boundary - tends assume that other people are like them and trusts them equally (I am You, You are me) (Namaste)
  6. Consciousness does not "mark" non-verbal behavior as important, thus dismissing them as irrelevant (mind takes precedence over body, the mind may not be in full control of the body)
  7. Consciousness experienced mostly through the self as the experiences and thoughts of an individual (Subjective reality)
  8. Locus of control weak or missing - the autistic does not experience a strong sense of control over his thoughts, emotions and deeds ("God's will, not mine" Pre-determined universe. Submission of the individual will. Detachment)
(Strict rituals - repetitive ritualistic activity - religious ceremony; sacred rites; structured prayer)


NON-AUTISTIC - Physical
  1. People based consciousness - Thoughts and emotions are organized by human archetypes or experiences with people (Stereotypes)
  2. Fulfilling desires as the goal, exercising influence as the tool - All thought, words and deeds are aimed to create the right influence among other people to achieve desires (Manipulation)
  3. Emotions at the core of consciousness, indistinguishable from other conscious experience (Emotions and desires over mind and reason)
  4. Tactile senses complement audio-visual imagination without any separation in one's imagination (Sight and Touch are fused; non-physicality is taken as not being possible; religion over spirituality)
  5. Self has a closed boundary - tends to bond with those they feel "comfortable" with; regulates people with different levels of trust & information access (A sense of Separation and Difference; I am not you; you are not me)
  6. Consciousness reacts instantly to subtle changes in non-verbal cues: Reactive Predictive Communications (physical hyper-vigilance...? More manipulation...?)
  7. Consciousness experienced mostly through one's social circle as the collective impression one has created (not really interested in others but of the impression they have of you) (They tell you what they want you to believe rather than telling you the truth yet still believe they are indeed telling you the truth)
  8. Locus of control inherent - the non-autistic experiences his thoughts, emotions and deeds as willed by himself (Individual will rules; concept of free will is firmly established; Master of my own Destiny)

Is Time Necessary?


Is Time necessary?

Is there such a thing as objective Time, or do our perceptions create Time as part of the information retrieval process?

Time can be used as a descriptor to identify an event.

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

The common-sense view of the world as a three-dimensional space modulated by the passage of time:

Conventionally, time is divided into three distinct phases; the "past", the "present", and the "future". Using that representational model, the past is generally seen as being immutably fixed and the future as being undefined and nebulous. The moment that was once the present becomes a part of the past; and some part of the future, in turn, becomes the new present.

The thing is that it is all happening so fast!

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

The Cause and Effect Effect -

The circumstances of the present moment are used to validate the next moment due to a parsing feature in the perception that does not allow a random selection of events.

This process begins with a birth of consciousness and ends with its subsequent death. We call the string of events a lifetime.

This collection of experienced events can also be thought of as a block of sequence. Any individual event within the block can belong to a different block. Blocks of Sequence interweave with one another and in this way create the fabric of a block universe.

This idea suggests a unique birth of consciousness through an initial event [of creation / expansion / inflation] as all possible choices come into being, and a unique death of consciousness [through contraction / deflation / collapse] as all possible choices are realized and as all possible outcomes are eventually exhausted.

The new block universe comes into being whole and complete from beginning to end, but the events within are not yet realized. As realized events expand, the unrealized events contract. This process of experience is called 'Becoming'.


Big Bang...End Game.

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

The Free Will Dilemma -

Free will in a block universe of the type I have described is simply a matter of choosing which block of sequence to experience next, it is not the creating of a new experience. The choices have already been set in place and exist before they are selected. It is a limited free will whose extents will never be realized in a single lifetime.

When you stand at the threshold of choice your options are limited to whatever can be created out of the present moment.
In other words, "You can choose any flavor you want as long as it's vanilla or chocolate; free will is not infinite."

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

The Will of God in a Block Universe -

In a Block Universe the will of God manifests as high stress situations where the options are severely limited. A decision must be made, but the choices are few. There is no time for lengthy consideration and Intuition has to be relied upon to resolve the issue.

The successful outcome requires an act of Faith.

As the block universe progresses the events open to selection become less and less in number, the rest are set in place as the Past. The free will of the new block universe gradually dissipates as the events within are realized and the block universe grows older. The will of God begins to manifest through the form of old souls who are limited in their use of free will. The free will of these old souls has been subjugated to God's will which then appears in the form of
demons, angels, djinn, avatars, and, of course, modabids.

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

Sequence in a Block Universe -

Before and After are terms of Sequence. Past, Present and Future are terms for dealing with Time. Sequence can exist without a time framework. A relative future event can occur before a relative past event thus influencing the relative past event in such a way that it affects the relative future event. This is called WhirlPooling or BootStrapping. Old souls manifest in their relative Past to teach and influence the beings of that relative Past world in order that they - the old soul - may come into an activated existence in the past world's relative future.

Simulation Series - Life as a Wave Function


Life is a wave function.

The present moment is like a point on the wave. We do not experience the point because the state change happens faster than we are able to perceive it, so events seem to flow.


Without memory of the past as a series of set events and without an imagination of possible future events, it would always be a perpetual 'Now' and we would have no awareness that it could be any other way than how it is.

We would be in a state of perfect beingness. The Consciousness establishes the parameters for Past, Present, Future - Memory, Perception and Imagination.

It is an Illusion that the Past cannot be any other way than how we remember it; just as it is an Illusion that a Future exists.

There are only Now states which have been experienced and those which have not been experienced. The Past in this way is a Block Perception.

We are prevented from seeing the wave function due to our concentration on the point / static / particle part of the wave.

In order to experience the wave, our Perception changes it into a series of points. Perception acts as an information retrieval system.

We remember the past so that we do not choose the same moment again and again and again. The goal in perception is to move along the wave.

Our Perception is locked to the present moment as the point's position changes. We cannot experience the wave through perception alone; our Imagination gives us a taste of the wave.

We know it is there, we just can't touch it. We must relinquish our one point focus if we are to experience the continuity of the wave. We do this from the Fifth Dimension of Clairvoyance.

And in fact, our understanding of the wave function is limited by our experience of it through the only tool we have as physical entities - our perception. The wave function transcends experience and defies description.

Even the attempt at an explanation leaves out something and we can only reach an approximation of the actuality such that we can only know one thing: Whatever we say about it isn't it.

We must give up our hold on it through perception and be the wave with no concern about the past and no regard about the future, suspending time in exchange for awareness.

In this state of beingness there is no interpretation, no assignment of good or evil and no thought of free will. We become witnesses to the unfolding of the Consciousness from the perspective of Awareness.

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

Perception displaces the Awareness of Being!

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

Detach from the present moment of Perception and flow with the wave of Beingness. This unlocks the Fifth Dimension. This is the Aqdab Gate, the Portal to the Awareness claimed by the Mystics and the Clairvoyants.

In this state of being, psychic activity is simply another form of perception made available to the Consciousness.

Universal Beingness


The universe changes moment by moment. A moment is of very short duration and happens very quickly. The universe in existence now is not the universe that was in existence a moment ago. It has evolved or become something else.

Due to our cognitive time lag we are constantly a step behind the universal 'Now' or what I call Actual Now. This lag behind is the unavoidable consequence of Perception.

Our physical senses can only process information which already exists; so we become witnesses of the universal unfolding as a result.


So what is Actual Now?

Actual Now is Beingness. It is pre-cognitive and pre-perceptual. Actual Now is the state of Existence before it is filtered by our human senses, parsed by our human perception and interpreted by our human intellect.

We 'twist' the simultaneity of Existence into something our minds can understand, this twisting involves a time delay during which our intellect creates a framework of Past, Present and Future based on Memory, Perception and Imagination.

Perception needs to something to be perceived. It does not function in simultaneous environments. Perception requires Existence to be experienced in slices. Information is selectively chosen and linked together by the Perception, is processed, and then presented to the cognitive mind for intellectualizing.

Why?

It is similar to examining something with a microscope. The perspective provides a detailed view, emphasizing some aspects while filtering out others.

Simultaneity is filtered out; similarity is emphasized.

Similar events attract other similar events so that sequence is experienced as an ordered and consistent change.

Asperger's Syndrome


Syndrome -

1. a group of signs and symptoms that together are characteristic or indicative of a specific disease or other disorder

2. a group of things or events that form a recognizable pattern, especially of something undesirable

A syndrome is a group of behaviors that form a recognizable pattern indicative of an undesirable situation.

The question is: Undesirable to whom?

The human mind when encountering unfavorable conditions will react in certain predictable ways. If the resulting behaviors are misinterpreted or not understood, the otherwise normal reaction can seem a mystery and harmful. Attention is focused on the behavior and not on the stimulus; especially if the stimulus is deliberately and artificially in place as an accepted and preferred social norm.

In the case of autism the stimulus is the current manner of thought pervasive in human society. It is a form of social consciousness that is incompatible with the newborn mind.

The mind upon birth is introduced to an external environment it is unprepared for. In order to survive, the infant is asked to adopt behaviors appropriate to the external environment but which go against its own inner consciousness.

The infant mind reacting to the external condition shuts down, withdraws, or develops coping mechanisms in order to maintain its integrity.

The path the infant mind takes all depends on the perceived consequence of error - the severity of the punishment in the case of being wrong. Strength of will also plays a part in this decision. A personality with a strong will is less likely to withdraw. These willful personalities later become the NeuroAdept.

Adept - somebody who is highly proficient or expert at something

The collective set of unique behaviors developed by the willful mind has come to be known as Asperger’s Syndrome.

AS is the autistic mind learning to navigate an alien landscape and being, to a degree, successful.

AS describes the infant personality encountering adverse external conditions and not backing down.

Terraforming Genesis


(Genesis 1:9-10)

9 And God went on to say: “Let the waters under the heavens be brought together into one place and let the dry land appear.” And it came to be so.

10 And God began calling the dry land Earth, but the bringing together of the waters he called Seas....

2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters.

11 And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

20 And God said, "Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens." 21 So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

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

We have been on the planet for 4 million years and have just recently involved ourselves with an exploration of space beyond our atmosphere. Is not difficult to believe there are civilizations which have been in existence for hundreds of millions of years who are already deeply involved in exploration of space beyond their relative atmospheres, and further, who are currently involved in migratory population experiments akin to the possible Martian Terraforming and subsequent colonization we are now investigating in our own solar system.

Entities traveling the stars do not think or plan in years or centuries, they plan in much larger lengths of time - eras.

An event is arriving that happens every 26,000 years - the alignment of the earth with galactic center exactly at the winter solstice. Perhaps we are due a visit from the holders of the experiment earth; the "God" and the "Angels" who are returning to check on the Terran project.

Perhaps there are experimenters who have been injected into the experiment as observers or Watchers, avataars whose task it is to bear witness and keep a chronicle for future endeavors of a similar nature.

It would make sense to transform a suitable planet, induce a native population, then integrate with the native population to ensure compatibility and the survival of an otherwise alien entity.

In the stellar community physical appearance would not matter as much as the manner of thought - the group mind.

Biology does not separate the human from the animal; it is the manner of thought in each which generates the major differences.

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

Adam, the First Clone -

It's more likely Eve was genetically engineered first, and then the clone Adam was made using stem cells from the bone marrow of one of her ribs.

In the animal world fetuses are essentially female. The transformation to male comes later in the gestation process so that the male is actually a transformed female. In the absence of males, females can transform themselves and reproduce independent of male input - sharks, honey bees and amphibious frogs for instance.

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

Science and religion at some time in the past was one and the same thing. The split came when science did away with the supernatural and stated that everything could be explained as natural cause and effect. Whereas religion might say it was the work of a miraculous God, science would say, "We simply do not know yet how it is done, but we will soon discover the process which will explain it."

NASA's Kepler mission has taken its first images of the star-rich sky where it will soon begin hunting for planets like Earth. The new 'first light' images show the mission's target patch of sky, a vast starry field in the Cygnus-Lyra region of our Milky Way galaxy. One image shows millions of stars in Kepler's full field of view, while two others zoom in on just one-thousandth of the full field of view. In one image, a cluster of stars located about 13,000 light-years from Earth, called NGC 6791, can be seen in the lower left corner. The other image zooms in on a region containing a star, called Tres-2, with a known Jupiter-like planet orbiting every 2.5 days.

An interstellar craft traveling at half the speed of light could make the journey to earth from NGC 6791 in 26,000 years.

An event is arriving that happens every 26,000 years. On the winter solstice of 2012, the noonday Sun exactly conjuncts the crossing point of the sun's ecliptic with the galactic plane, while also closely aligning with the exact the center of the galaxy. Some believe it marks the ending of one era and the beginning of another. This will be the fifth such occurrence in the history of Human consciousness.

Fate & Destiny



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

"You can choose your Destiny but you have to work within the Fate you are given.
Fate is a coincidence waiting to happen."

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

The universe comes into being whole and complete from beginning to end.

It comes into being, but not necessarily into Existence.

That may sound a little confusing, but think about it: Will the universe we experience today be the universe we experience tomorrow? Will everything remain exactly the same, or will things have changed?

Consider a piece of blank paper. The paper is Beingness. If we examine the paper closely we can see it is covered with lightly drawn lines. The lightly drawn lines are Existence. The pattern of the lightly drawn lines is Fate. The pattern is set and cannot be changed; it is an inseparable part of Existence.

The lightly drawn lines, however, can be darkened in. Even though they must follow a set course, the path these potentially dark lines take has not yet been determined. The soon to be darkened lines overlying Fate represent Destiny.

Destiny is a choice of which lines will be darkened in, which paths will be taken and which events will be made to happen as a personal reality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Destiny is free will to the extent it does not conflict with Fate.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lines of Fate sometimes connect, so that no matter which Destiny you choose, it leads to the same Fate. I call these instances of multiple connections 'Node Points'.

Node Points hold the web of Existence together. Node Points are common instances of reality that extend across dimensions.

Events at Node Points take on the particular flavor of the environment in which they are experienced.

Node Points 'cut across' dimensions. Where one intersects the material realm, the associated events manifest physically. Where one intersects the Spirit realm, the associated events manifest energetically. In the Psychic realm, associated events manifest clairvoyantly.

The same event occurs across multiple dimensions but the actual experience of the event is greatly influenced by the particular realm upon which it is encountered.

The Nature of Existence


A non-religious non-scientific look at how things got here...

* Time is an envelope in which Change takes place - when Mind forms an association to Sequence, you get an envelope of Time.

* Time is Change perceived.

* An Event is an incident of Change. It requires an observer and Sequence. Change is produced as successive stages of Becoming are perceived by the Mind.

* Mind is the Consciousness as a Dynamic Entity. The entity's dynamic aspect is the interplay of Difference. The interplay of Difference forms Existence.

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

The Purpose of Existence :

The Mind's Intention is to reconcile the appearance of Difference - to heal the rift between Awareness and the Chaos of Nothingness.

The Result
Various ways Mind projects the Intention :

Etheric - the Mind's association to Matter.

Spirit - the Mind's association to Energy.

Change - the Mind's association to Sequence.

Time - the Mind's association to Change.

Difference - the Mind's association to Awareness.

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

Consciousness, as it applies to Mind, is the recognition of Difference.

The Consciousness itself, IS the Difference.

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

Awareness in the Human Mind is the ability to discern Presence.

Consciousness in the Human Mind is the ability to discern Difference.

Perception in the Human Mind is the ability to discern separate elements of Existence.

Intellect in the Human Mind interprets separate elements of Existence.
Intellect, however, does not address the accuracy of its interpretation.

Intelligence in the Human Mind is measured in accordance with its ability to successfully employ the Intellect but not necessarily with its ability to employ Truth.

Truth is a function of the gnostic mind which gathers the direct knowledge contained within Etheric envelopes of Life and Spirit envelopes of energy.

[The above applies to the Human Mind only. Information regarding the microbial, plant and animal perspective is not available.]

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


Acts of God


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"People comfort themselves with the idea of God
because the reality of God is terrifying."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God-Consciousness, or Enlightenment, is attained after years of diligent pursuit, usually when a person has reached mature adulthood.

It involves a slow process of destroying the Ego and undoing a lifetime of social programming, religious dogma, and philosophic misconceptions.

What if there were people, a new wave in the human population, that were born Enlightened? Not ascended masters or incarnated avatars, but ordinary people untainted by socially normal behavior? People who thought differently right from the beginning.

This is going to sound controversial, but....

"The autistic spectrum is the human mind reacting to an alien environment."

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

Autistic Evolution -

NeuroTypical - the humans currently setting the social norm.

NeuroSeeded - the humans who have internalized a Divine message and who have, for the most part, withdrawn from social interaction.

NeuroAdepts - the humans who have externalized a Divine message and who are seeking a method of its social integration.

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

* NeuroAdept - Expresses a Divine Message in the present lifetime.
The gaze is external.

* NeuroSeeded - Expresses a Divine Message in a future lifetime.
The gaze is internal.

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

Method : How Autistic Evolution Happens

NeruoDiversity -

You have two kids lying in the crib, side by side. They both get the same message.

In one of them, the message takes, it makes complete sense relative to the present environment. The mind integrates the provided information and adjusts its development accordingly.

In the other, the message doesn't take, the provided information makes no sense at all relative to the present environment and it drives the mind crazy. The mind, in self defense, retreats.


Information is sent out to the infants as they are just born. It is a Divine Message which describes the nature of Existence.

The target is the latent Ego lying dormant within the infant's mind. The message is an image of Existence which places the Ego in a subordinate position.

Some infants adjust and develop a NeuroAdept profile; the Ego accepts the surrounding social environment and seeks to integrate itself.

Some infants adjust differently and develop a NeuoSeeded profile; the Ego rejects the surrounding social environment and seeks to insulate itself.

Some infants are not offered the information at all and continue to develop a NeuroTypical profile; the Ego remains unaffected.

The choice as to who is offered the information is completely arbitrary, it is a cosmic roll of the dice and should not be viewed as an indication of reward or punishment. It falls under the heading of Fate.

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

Why did it become necessary?

It became necessary to establish communication from within the human mind instead of from without; information filtered through the intellect and perception is not trusted. Knowledge is direct instead of inferred.

NeuroTypicals have a tendency to add information, to 'read between the lines' or 'fill in the gaps'. This ability to read between the lines marks many of their decisions. Any raw truth is immediately subjected to interpretation. Divine messages are distorted, its original intent is lost or diluted.

That is why NeuroTypicals rely so much on symbolism and social gestures. More attention is paid to the accompanying symbols and gestures than is paid to the verbal communication.

NeuroTypicals think alike. They have the same strategy of survival, cognition is similar across minds. In any basic survival situation, a NeuroTypical will pretty much react the same as other NeuroTypicals.

The NeuroTypical mind decodes information into what it knows and is familiar with; it attempts to preserve the established pattern.

This makes NeuroTypicals generally predictable - if you know how to read them - because the blueprint is in their minds.

The NeuroDiverse do not have these social blueprints. Their behavior and manner of thought is generally unpredictable.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Unpredictable means spontaneous.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tips for the NeuroDiverse -

NeuroTypicals do not tell the truth, either in their actions or their words. They all know this. It is a matter of survival because everything is seen as a threat to their well-being.

Statements are credible to the degree the individual making them is willing to expend the energy necessary for supporting verbal, bodily and emotional gestures. This emphasis on gesture display is sometimes called 'drama'.

NeuroTypicals are basically insecure. They feel uncertain about their place in the world. They always think someone is going to take their food.

Morals are set on the basis of what is good [for me] and what is bad [for me]. The process is automatic.

God, the ultimate good, is always viewed as being on 'my' side.

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

Who or what is providing the Divine Message?

That is a mystery.

The message may be a condition of Existence and is just now coming to realization, but from within the human mind instead of from external sources filtered through the intellect and perception - direct knowledge instead of inferred knowledge.

What is it?

The message is one of universal oneness and unity. It explains how all things are one thing without separation; the substance underlying reality is simultaneous and lacking in differentiation.

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

Me -

One thing I remember in particular was the idea of hard and soft at the same time. This came in the form of floating pillows, upon one of which was me. The pillows were accompanied by a great many whispering voices all saying different things;and darkness with visibility - there was no light and no light source, but I could see in a way, nevertheless. Perhaps things contained their own illumination - an internal light.

There was the hard-and-soft pillows, the visible-darkness, the whispering many-voices and me.

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

The NeuroDiverse Perspective -

The Ego at its infancy stage of development is offered a choice:

A Fifth Dimension perspective of Simultaneity or a Fourth Dimension perspective of Individuality through Separation.

A Fifth Dimensional perspective of Simultaneity can incorporate a Fourth Dimensional perspective of Individuality through Separation; the reverse, however, is not often true.

The NeuroDiverse Mind can go where the NeuroTypical Mind cannot go.

To the NeuroDiverse, the NeuroTypicals seem to be the
ones insane.

Autistic Thinking


thinking /think·ing/ (thingk´ing) ideational mental activity (as opposed to emotional activity).
--------------------------

autistic thinking - preoccupation with inner thoughts, daydreams, fantasies, private logic; egocentric, subjective thinking lacking objectivity and connection with external reality.

dereistic thinking - thinking not in accordance with the facts of reality and experience and following illogical, idiosyncratic reasoning.

magical thinking - that characterized by the belief that thinking or wishing something can cause it to occur.
--------------------------

1 the cognitive process of forming mental images or concepts.

2 the process of cognitive problem solving through the sorting, organizing, and classification of facts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
autistic means "self-generated without reference to external reality."
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some people will argue that reality is constructed within the mind:

"While the universe merely provides the raw material, it is actually the mind which forms the formless into a dimension of material existence. Reality is within ourselves and nowhere else."

If we hold divine experience to be of a similar make, we can say God is autistic.

--------------------------

The autistic experience is pure God-Consciousness looking inward. The thought is, "I Am That".

This pure God-Consciousness externalized naturally is the NeuroAdept mind. The thought is, "I Am Also That".

When the experience of reality is interpreted and given multiple layers of meaning, the NeuroTypical mind is created.

The NeuroTypical mind is the autistic mind having undergone Complexity. The thought is, "I Am Not That".

The NeuroTypical mind is an outgrowth of the autistic mind. It is a Becoming; it looks outwards toward Source.

The NeuroAdept mind is also an outgrowth of the autistic mind and as such it, too, is a Becoming which looks outwards toward Source.

The autistic mind, however, is a Returning; it looks inwards toward Source.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
The autistic mind is nearer the Mind of God.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blog Key:

From the web are ~~~~~~~~~

My comments are ***

Anecdotes are " "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Insistence on Sameness
Children with AS are easily overwhelmed by minimal change, are highly sensitive to environmental stressors, and sometimes engage in rituals. They are anxious and tend to worry obsessively when they do not know what to expect; stress, fatigue and sensory overload easily throw them off balance.

***
NeuroAdepts are born into a hard determinism / block universe situation. Since they are the forerunners of what is to come they have a sense of the future. If they cannot envision an event or a happening, it means that the event is not supposed to take place, or at the very least, that they are not to be involved in it.

"Of course I find a sudden change in routine upsetting. I mean, if something works, why change it?"

"We were told that our clerical unit would be tested for emergency preparedness in case of disaster - this was during the 911 scare. We were told that on an unannounced day sometime in the near future we would report to the east valley office instead of to our regular location. I asked a lot of questions regarding transportation, lunch, what the place looked like, the hours, ect. But the surprise change proved to be too much for me. I came down with the flu and was out for the next five days. I missed the training exercise and they wanted to dock me a day's pay because of it."

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

Impairment in Social Interaction
Children with AS show an inability to understand complex rules of social interaction; are naive; are extremely egocentric; may not like physical contact; talk at people instead of to them; do not understand jokes, irony or metaphors; use monotone or stilted, unnatural tone of voice; use inappropriate gaze and body language; are insensitive and lack tact; misinterpret social cues; cannot judge "social distance;" exhibit poor ability to initiate and sustain conversation; have well-developed speech but poor communication; are sometimes labeled "little professor" because speaking style is so adult-like and pedantic; are easily taken advantage of (do not perceive that others sometimes lie or trick them); and usually have a desire to be part of the social world.

***
NeuroAdepts are psychic and do not wish to pry into a person's private thoughts. Direct eye to eye contact is considered an intrusion and so avoided.

NeuroAdepts do not play mind games, and as such, find social gestures and their hints to be useless information, trash info to be ignored or discarded since it cannot be relied upon for truth content. NeuroAdepts do not project the social message, "I am not a threat" and so do not expect it from others.

NeuroTypicals, on the other hand, project the 'non-threat message' because they are a threat. They know it exists in themselves and in other NeuroTypicals, too. They think everyone is trying to take their food away from them.


***
NeuroAdepts are constantly processing information regarding human interaction. This insistent activity carries a high level of stress. Solitude is necessary in order for the NeuroAdept to completely relax. Only when he or she is alone does the automatic processing cease; although there may be a replaying and an analysis of a past social interaction for the purposes of parsing and future use.

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

Restricted Range of Interests
Children with AS have eccentric preoccupations or odd, intense fixations (sometimes obsessively collecting unusual things). They tend to relentlessly "lecture" on areas of interest; ask repetitive questions about interests; have trouble letting go of ideas; follow own inclinations regardless of external demands; and sometimes refuse to learn about anything outside their limited field of interest.

***
NeuroAdepts have a mission to fulfill. It is the only reason they are here.

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

Poor Concentration
Children with AS are often off task, distracted by internal stimuli; are very disorganized; have difficulty sustaining focus on classroom activities (often it is not that the attention is poor but, rather, that the focus is "odd" ; the individual with AS cannot figure out what is relevant [Happe, 1991], so attention is focused on irrelevant stimuli); tend to withdraw into complex inner worlds in a manner much more intense than is typical of daydreaming and have difficulty learning in a group situation.

***
Irrelevant to the NeuroTypical mind that cannot see what the NeuroAdept sees. Their "inner world" of the NeuroAdept is the Fifth Dimensional perspective. The intense focus is a form of purposeful meditation. When the NeuroAdept engages in this type of behavior the Mind is looking for something with which to complete a task. The immediate environment becomes secondary.

Poor Motor Coordination
Children with AS are physically clumsy and awkward; have stiff, awkward gaits; are unsuccessful in games involving motor skills; and experience fine-motor deficits that can cause penmanship problems, slow clerical speed and affect their ability to draw.

***
NeuroAdepts are envelopes for the Consciousness as Mind in exploration of the human element. There is an adjustment period necessary in order for the Mind to learn how the body functions. This causes clumsiness and over or under modulation in certain activities. The Spirit does not recognize words and numbers for the things they represent. The NeuroAdept has to learn that things cannot always be taken at face value; thus their ability with words and their equal inability to distinguish between the truth of Existence and the social untruth that exists within human interaction.

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

Academic Difficulties
Children with AS usually have average to above-average intelligence (especially in the verbal sphere) but lack high level thinking and comprehension skills. They tend to be very literal: Their images are concrete, and abstraction is poor. Their pedantic speaking style and impressive vocabularies give the false impression that they understand what they are talking about, when in reality they are merely parroting what they have heard or read. The child with AS frequently has an excellent rote memory, but it is mechanical in nature; that is, the child may respond like a video that plays in set sequence. Problem-solving skills are poor.

***
"In the first grade I had a teacher who told us to solve an equation. She explained the situation and let us go at it. I got the answer wrong. I knew I was going to get the answer wrong because of how the teacher had told us to solve for the answer. I knew what she should have wanted, but that is not what she had asked for. So I solved it according to her instructions and got it wrong. Later that same evening I was going over my school work and showed my Dad the missed question. I began explaining to him why I missed it and he began explaining to me what the correct answer should have been. I already knew what the correct answer should have been and I wanted him to know why I missed it. He didn't understand what I was trying to tell him and persisted in explaining why I was wrong. I began to cry - on the inside - and never tried talking to him about things like that again."

Emotional Vulnerability
Children with Asperger Syndrome have the intelligence to compete in regular education but they often do not have the emotional resources to cope with the demands of the classroom. These children are easily stressed due to their inflexibility. Self-esteem is low, and they are often very self-critical and unable to tolerate making mistakes. Individuals with AS, especially adolescents, may be prone to depression (a high percentage of depression in adults with AS has been documented). Rage reactions/temper outbursts are common in response to stress/frustration. Children with AS rarely seem relaxed and are easily overwhelmed when things are not as their rigid views dictate they should be. Interacting with people and coping with the ordinary demands of everyday life take continual Herculean effort.

Children with Asperger's syndrome are so easily overwhelmed by environmental stressors, and have such profound impairment in the ability to form interpersonal relationships, that it is no wonder they give the impression of "fragile vulnerability and a pathetic childishness" (Wing, 1981, p. 117). Everard (1976) wrote that when these youngsters are compared with their non-disabled peers, "one is instantly aware of how different they are and the enormous effort they have to make to live in a world where no concessions are made and where they are expected to conform" (p.2).

***
NeuroTypicals have a tendency to leave out information that they feel will be filled in by common experience; they call such things "common sense assumptions". NeuroTypicals do this without realizing that our experience is not their experience. NeuroAdepts hold open the possibility for a thing to be another thing. They do not assume that just because something appears to be a thing, that it is the thing. NeuroAdepts do not 'read between the lines' by adding unstated and assumed 'common sensical' information. They are generally free of this Neurotypical bias that causes an interpretation of something in relation to the NeuroTypicals themselves.

"NeuroTypical social interaction largely consists of guesstimating how much truth a situation contains based on a self-determined consequence of error. This is a natural and often successful process due to a similarity in thinking among NeuroTypicals. But if a NeuroTypical was under the constant stress and the strain that typifies a NeuroAdept's day, they would go insane."

NeuroAdepts have to work hard to get what comes to others easily. Their consequence of error and the frustration it entails is huge by comparison.

"These children require a NeuroAdept learning environment in which they can see themselves as competent and productive. Forcing them into the NeuroTypical mainstream, where they cannot grasp the concepts, serves only to lower their self-esteem, increase their withdrawal, and sets the stage for a depressive disorder."

"I think with NeuroTypicals, the rules merely define the starting point from which to deviate."

***
Much of NeuroTypical communication is physical - body posture and such. What is being said cannot be verbally articulated because it is based on a physical beingness rather than a mental beingness.

A New Way of Thinking


From the web ...


ABOUT ASPERGER'S SYNDROME (AS)

Asperger’s Syndrome is a “high functioning” form of Autism Spectrum Disorder. A diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome can be synonymous with a diagnosis of High Functioning Autism (HFA) and individuals diagnosed with AS, HFA, and other closely-related neurological disorders benefit equally from the support and service provided by Portland Aspergers Network.

Studies conclude that the incidence of Asperger’s Syndrome has increased by epidemic proportions in recent years. In the past two decades the ratio of an Autistic Spectrum Disorder diagnosis has escalated from one child in ten thousand to one child in two hundred fifty.

There is no cure for AS. The cause remains unknown. There is a prevailing belief that the combination of genetic factors and environmental triggers contributes to the probability of diagnosis. Regardless of its origin—its existence is a painfully real and rapidly growing problem in every country in the world. Attention to this issue is imperative as this growing sect of the world’s population emerges into adulthood.

OK. Whatever.

I'm thinking that this thing they are calling 'Asperger's Syndrome' is simply a new way of thinking about Reality and Existence. It is not a disorder at all. It is an advancement in the mind's evolution. Autism and Asperger's Syndrome are two separate occurrences of the same thing; one of which took, and the other of which didn't.

I will not focus on the autism side of the argument since I have no experience with it. I shall instead present a picture of Existence from the point of view of a gnostic Asperger with a special interest in ontology and the paranormal.

As always, we will work from within the An'Kareen environment and ask the assistance of the Uv-taar modabid for this blog instead of my usual channel Anne Karin - sorry Anne.

Stick around, though. This should be interesting.
