      "body": "Nicholas Jensen Denton 4-27-18\n\nReligions of the World Journal Article Review\n\nThe Metaphysics of the Dao – Linguistic Encryption - Epistemology\n\n\nI can pontificate that one of the most difficult aspects of trying to translate the nature of the Dao, would be first to translate classical Chinese into English. Words are deeper than their dictionaries definition. Words convey ideas, concepts, and emotions; they express what your character is. They are a definite force that engages in intangible physics. Language is one of the most special aspects of the Human Experience in that our communicative style is superbly unique to the rest of the natural kingdom but also in that language is a physical tangible directly experiential force in our material reality that has its immediate roots in the mystery of that transcendental conscious Other.\n\nLanguage is one of the only tools we have that bridges the gaps from the subjective plane to the objective experience. We truly have to first analyze the language of the Dao and translation to see what we are looking at, or perhaps what were not looking at. The ideas and emotions behind the Chinese words are more often than not lost in translation as time goes on and language evolves, the receiving end, being English in this case, can loose a significant amount of meaning. It is often said that language shapes how we see reality, how true is this though? As physics would dictate, when you are reading and writing, your brain tracks along in a similar manner. Your neural circuits fire in a pattern that is a super set of the linguistic structure of which you are using. When you are fluent in English, your mind is encoded, programmed, filtered, and fractured into 26 rudimentary areas. We use these letters, which are like lenses, to project out of our minds eye an informational matrix that supports our sociological view of the world. With labels of the world and labels of how the processes of the world work we can better act within the world. This presents a schism for Free Willed Observers who exist outside of space and time, in this world but not of it (to put it like Jesus). The language we are using to describe this world is in it and of it, its apart of the structural integrity, yet still sourced outside of the world. Hence the schism.\n\nLanguage as an institution is an artificial construct and therefore is the first barrier in discussing phenomenology. On a neurological level, when we encode our mind with language, since language has an innate mathematical property and has connections to the atomic structure and to the geometric make up of time-space itself (which is another article), it can literally act as a map of time and space on multiple levels of reality and drastically influence your perception of both. One of the most interesting things is this though, when we change the foundational idea of how we perceive Time, this also changes the medium by which ideas are transferred. So to look at how ideas are transferred, first you must look at the structure of language. We read English from left to right top down and this is reflected in our neural networks. But traditional Chinese was (a symbolic language) read from top to bottom and from either side of the X axis. This is a complete\n\nrewiring of foundational neural networks and orientation in space-time. This main difference in information flow has a significant impact on the brain and how the mind perceives reality. (1) “The details of a language – in this case an apparently superficial feature of how people in a given culture interact with its written form, seems to shape the way that people think about something totally unrelated. As Griffin (2004) argues, “eye movements are tied to our organization of information. Patterns of interaction with writing appear to seep out beyond the borders of language. Learning to use a writing system creates routines of interaction with space that affect how we map time onto it.”\n\nSo when I say language looses a part of it self when it is translated, I’m speaking of entire linguistic structures, cultural ideologies and characteristics, myths and lore, tradition and ritual, sub cultures and local knowledge, your neurological orientation along the time space continuum itself is transfigured when a language is lost or mutated. When that happens the information embedded within those structures must be translated to fit the confines of a new space-time rule-set entirely different from the original. (linguistic rule-set, though we see now that time/language is subjective and inherently related to our perception of language/time.) Thus there is a large disparity of communicable ideas across the broad spectrum of language that makes me wonder, what haven’t we thought to think of because our language has kept us from it? These are a taste of the limitations the Dao has given us. Perhaps this is why there is so much confusion in our world, especially over the Big Picture, human purpose, how to run politics, psychology, etc etc.\n\nOther sacred languages are also read from right to left such as Arabic and Hebrew. In order to ever be able to truly grasp the original meaning of the Tao Te Ching, we first must temporally and spatially reorient ourselves to even be in the proper place to begin to receive the message.\nIn this article by Leo K. C. Cheung, he tries to reconnect the ideas that have been lost to time in attempt to reveal the true nature of the Dao, enforcing its polarizing characteristics such as “Great” and “far-reaching” and “functioning everywhere” yet it is “unknowable” and “hidden,” “Vague and Elusive.” What’s being done in the Tao Te Ching is someone or something has translated an idea of something whose metaphysics does not allow it to be put into language. “Dao is hidden because, even though Dao has substantive contents and we are parts of Dao, it is unnamable, and thus language cannot convey anything specific about Dao.” This was evident to Confucius. Following is the very first chapter of the Tao.\n“The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal name The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth\nThe named is the mother of myriad things\nThus, constantly free of desire One observes its wonders Constantly filled with desire One observes its manifestations\n\nThese two emerge together but differ in name The unity is said to be the mystery\nMystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders.”\nWhen the brain processes words, there are two man functions of doing so, one is connecting the words to all of the semantics, syntax, grammatical laws, relationship to other words and letters, and associations to events, people, places, and things stored within your immediate subconscious. This initial process is a superficial one, the following milliseconds of neural linguistic decryption involve going beyond simple analytics to comparatively analyze and attaching everything you know, believe, and feel to be true about that word, sentence, or bit of information just processed to your stored database of experience. This second process allows a person to mentally generate new thoughts and extrapolate new ideas to compare to the freshly assimilated information. These are two processes that are a product of evolutionary behavior that has evolved in tandem with the advent of language.\nIs language organic to the human being, or has there ever been an Organic language? Jeremy Narby the author of The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge would insist, and I tend to agree, that linguistic information is encoded within DNA and relayed to us through trance and entheogenic endeavors which resulted in the first use of a spoken languages, later written, and later faultily transcribed. This suggests a genetic transmission of information concerning\n\ncommunicative abilities that were given to Individuated Consciousness with a physiological and geometric correspondence to DNA that originated as molecular information within our genetics, the language we are using today would be an outgrowth of that initial blossoming of communication from within mans biology, to the biological man himself, then from man to collective and collective to man and back down the ladder. Does environment shape the person or the person the environment?\nSo the question arises, if language is a means of relating to the self, to the Individuated Consciousness, and acts as a feedback mechanism for the environment both within (emotional, mental, physical well being) and without (environmental, spatial, temporal perceptions) the Observer, what information is being recognized that goes beyond the grasp of not just our instruments and measuring devices but beyond language itself, so complex that it cannot be fully interpreted linguistically, yet still known and understood intellectually. Chomsky, a prominent neurolinguist suggests a Universal Language that every human brain (or perhaps genetics) have pre installed in them.\n\nThe argument being made by Cheung in The Metaphysics and Unnamability of the Dao is suggesting that you cannot name the Dao, that this question can only be posed and not answered fully. When studying language, many questions arise that would appear to have fundamental answers but nevertheless remain unanswered to the day by societies most prominent neuro-linguists and philosophers. If it is true that something within us generated this language, ideally an aspect of the Dao,\n\nperhaps one of our endowments (In Dao Ment), it would follow that this process has two potential interpretations of us language users, that it either is not capable of describing its source, we find this philosophy in neurology dominant, that because consciousness is a product of the brains chemistry we conscious observers do not have the capacity to comprehend the brain itself, hence all of the unknowns in that particular field, or that our biology designed language specifically so it could be reverse engineered acting as a map back into whence it came, which I believe could be a testament to Kabbalistic studies. It seems Cheung, would insist on the latter. He says, “All sounds in nature (These sounds include the organic outgrowth of language from the nature of mans being) belong to Dao's constituent aural aspectual totality (pg 3),” he continues, “There are things in Dao, and thus Dao has substantive informative contents (in this instance, the informative content is language). Also, Dao keeps on transforming without conforming to any specific forms or regularities.” Suggesting an ever-changing nature composed of impartial constituents. Our impartial constituents, or non-conformity to any specific form could be allusion to the structure of language and its multitude of ways of expressing human thought and spirit. The 10 million things in Dao, the limitations of language and what the personal meaning it brings to you are its informative contents. Could Cheung be talking about the evolution of language and the ideas they bring to us? I consider all the different languages there have been and how they were able to capture different ideologies and form different cultures, how language has morphed and we lost the ability to capture certain ideas in trade for ones we could not conceptualize before.\n\nI do not agree with Cheung in that the Dao should remain nameless. It is far too evident that there is this thing that is staring us right in the face yet we still cant seem to comprehend it. To simply remove it as if we don’t see it and remove any type of language that allows us to discus it would be an act against God, or a supreme showing of your intellectual ass. We may as well name it “The Unmissable Yet Indescribable.” The Metaphysical aspect of the Dao is that words and letters who’s forms and meaning change with time continue to bring influence and information to Conscious Creators of Reality, this meaning can have to do with the physical Reality or with Phantasia and both realms of thought can influence your actions, subsequent thinking patterns, and ultimately change your physical environment and the person you are and people you are around. Those who are In- Dao’ed know that those who are Masters of the Phantasm Communications, they carve out slivers of an ethereal, disorderly yet orderly, limitless yet limited void ~ Subjective Plane ~ into little symbolic images, words, and phrases ~ Objective Realm ~ which help the perplexed human comprehend the unknowable forces that govern our interactions and evolutions. There are those too though, among the 10,000 things, who use the Metaphysics of the Dao for nefarious deeds whom the just must remain ever vigilant and intent on their subjugation and re-pairing of the informational realms to produce a harmony between the internal worlds of individuals and the external world.\nThe Dao is the entirety of language itself. In the same sense that Haim-Hillel says God reveals his own characteristics through the language of the Torah. The Dao is every language, but since language came from Dao, language is not the source of\n\nDao. The Dao can only endow language with the ability to acknowledge that which birthed it, yet not fully encapsulate for the simple law that the linguistic programming is a subset of a larger program. If the Dao were the ocean, then language is like a net. You can cast out your words and figure out what is in there, fish, algae, seaweed, rocks, maybe some trash, coral, you could capture an essence of the ocean itself, its taste and texture, salty and wet, etc. etc., but you cannot capture the ocean itself. However you can grab hold of some droplets, and like they said in Cloud Atlas, what is an ocean but a multitude of drops? Like they say in the Occult, As Above So Below. And like they say in Latin, Portionemque Totius – Part containing the whole. Holofractographics\nI suppose what Im getting at is that language is the Dao, English is one aspect of God, Arabic is a facet of The Divine, Hebrew a sliver of Yahweh, but with all of these nets, again, the ocean remains un-capturable.\n\nCitation\nCheung, Leo K.

The icon that is Trump, is a symbolic output of a System whose function is to represent the peoples collective ideas, ideologies, religions, morals, dogmas, social attitudes and tendencies, and serve as a general tool of evolution for the collective fate of those who pledge allegiance to that Symbol and if you’re like me, then the Pledge of Allegiance was apart of your public school duty. I’ve learned a good motto for these legionaries could be “with Congress, comes progress.” This System was designed to maintain social order utilizing representational power from its citizens. Donald Trump is just one of many red flags that indicate that the System has failed. What was a system of democracy initiated by our founding fathers, has become corrupted. The means of representation have been meddled with; there were some backdoor deals, money was exchanged, and one thing has been made to seem like another. By what appears to be dark magic, our sovereign republic under God, has been usurped by a despotic tyranny mastered by demagogues whose main purpose is to maintain the illusion that the System is still operating correctly.\n\nTo continue reading please visit Higherspirit.org or visit Higher Spirituality on facebook",

Words are deeper than their dictionaries definition. Words convey ideas, concepts, and emotions; they express what your character is. They are a definite force that engages in intangible physics. Language is one of the most special aspects of the Human Experience in that our communicative style is superbly unique to the rest of the natural kingdom but also in that language is a physical tangible directly experiential force in our material reality that has its immediate roots in the mystery of the transcendental conscious other.\n      Language is one of the only tools we have that bridges that misty gap between the subjective plane to the objective experience. We truly have to first analyze the language of the Dao and translation to see what we are looking at, or perhaps what were not looking at. The ideas and emotions behind the Chinese words are more often than not lost in translation as time goes on and language evolves, the receiving end, being English in this case, can loose a significant amount of meaning. It is often said that language shapes how we see reality, how true is this though? As physics would dictate, when you are reading and writing, your brain tracks along in a similar manner. Your neural circuits fire in a pattern that is a super set of the linguistic structure of which you are using. When you are fluent in English, your mind is encoded, programmed, filtered, and fractured into 26 rudimentary areas. We use these letters, which are like lenses, to project out of our minds eye an informational matrix that supports our sociological view of the world. With labels of the world and labels of how the processes of the world work we can better act within the world. This presents a schism for Free Willed Observers who exist outside of space and time, in this world but not of it (to put it like Jesus). The language we are using to describe this world is in it and of it, its apart of the structural integrity, yet still sourced outside of this world. Hence its apparently mystical nature.\n     Language as an institution is an artificial construct and therefore is the first barrier in discussing phenomenology. On a neurological level, when we encode our mind with language, since language has an innate mathematical property and has connections to the atomic structure and to the geometric make up of time-space itself (which is another article), it can literally act as a map of time and space on multiple levels of reality and drastically influence your perception of both. One of the most interesting things is this though, when we change the foundational idea of how we perceive Time, this also changes the medium by which ideas are transferred. So to look at how ideas are transferred, first you must look at the structure of language.\n      We read English from left to right top down and this is reflected in our neural networks. But traditional Chinese was (a symbolic language) read from top to bottom and from either side of the X-axis. This is a complete rewiring of foundational neural networks and orientation in space-time. This main difference in information flow has a significant impact on the brain and how the mind perceives reality. (1) “The details of a language – in this case an apparently superficial feature of how people in a given culture interact with its written form, seems to shape the way that people think about something totally unrelated. As Griffin (2004) argues, “eye movements are tied to our organization of information. Patterns of interaction with writing appear to seep out beyond the borders of language. Learning to use a writing system creates routines of interaction with space that affect how we map time onto it.” \n     So when I say language looses a part of it self when it is translated, I’m speaking of entire linguistic structures, cultural ideologies and characteristics, myths and lore, tradition and ritual, sub cultures and local knowledge, your neurological orientation along the time space continuum itself is transfigured when a language is lost or mutated. When that happens the information embedded within those structures must be translated to fit the confines of a new space-time rule-set entirely different from the original. (linguistic rule-set, though we see now that time/language is subjective and inherently related to our perception of language/time.) Thus there is a large disparity of communicable ideas across the broad spectrum of language that makes me wonder, what haven’t we thought to think of because our language has kept us from it? These are a taste of the limitations the Dao has given us. Perhaps this is why there is so much confusion in our world, especially over the Big Picture,  human purpose, how to run politics, psychology, etc etc.\n     Other sacred languages are also read from right to left such as Arabic and Hebrew. In order to ever be able to truly grasp the original meaning of the Tao Te Ching, we first must temporally and spatially reorient ourselves to even be in the proper place to begin to receive the message.\n     In this article by Leo K. C. Cheung, he tries to reconnect the ideas that have been lost to time in attempt to reveal the true nature of the Dao, enforcing its polarizing characteristics such as “Great” and “far-reaching” and “functioning everywhere” yet it is “unknowable” and “hidden,” “Vague and Elusive.” What’s being done in the Tao Te Ching is someone or something has translated an idea of something whose metaphysics does not allow it to be put into language. “Dao is hidden because, even though Dao has substantive contents and we are parts of Dao, it is unnamable, and thus language cannot convey anything specific about Dao.” This was evident to Confucius. Following is the very first chapter of the Tao:\n\n“The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao\nThe name that can be named is not the eternal name\nThe nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth\nThe named is the mother of myriad things\n\nThus, constantly free of desire\nOne observes its wonders\nConstantly filled with desire\nOne observes its manifestations\n\nThese two emerge together but differ in name\nThe unity is said to be the mystery\nMystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders.”\n\n     When the brain processes words, there are two man functions of doing so, one is connecting the words to all of the semantics, syntax, grammatical laws, relationship to other words and letters, and associations to events, people, places, and things stored within your immediate subconscious. This initial process is a superficial one, the following milliseconds of neural linguistic decryption involve going beyond simple analytics to comparatively analyze and attaching everything you know, believe, and feel to be true about that word, sentence, or bit of information just processed to your stored database of experience. This second process allows a person to mentally generate new thoughts and extrapolate new ideas to compare to the freshly assimilated information. These are two processes that are a product of evolutionary behavior that has evolved in tandem with the advent of language. \n     Has there ever been an Organic Source language? Jeremy Narby the author of The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge would insist, and I tend to agree, that linguistic information is encoded within DNA and relayed to us through trance and entheogenic endeavors which resulted in the first use of a spoken language, later written, and later faultily transcribed. This suggests a genetic transmission of information concerning communicative abilities that were given to Individuated Consciousness with a physiological and geometric correspondence to DNA that originated as molecular information within our genetics, the language we are using today would be an outgrowth of that initial blossoming of communication from within mans biology, to the biological man himself, then from man to collective and collective to man and back down the ladder. Is there a way to trace back our linguistic lineage to one source language and if so, would this language contain the knowledge of life’s Greater Mysteries and even the ones beyond our current languages’ contextual limits? Some like Noam Chomsky, John Dee, Edward Kelly, Jason Louv, and Dan Winter tend to agree on this topic, although to slightly varying degrees. Chomsky, a prominent neurolinguist suggests a Universal Language that every human brain (or perhaps genetics) have pre-installed in them. The others suggest an Angelic language known as Enochian and interpret Adam as having named everything in the Garden of Eden with this language. The last man to speak it was Enoch and Enoch walked with God (Gen 5:21). This language is still studied today and is a functioning tool to express ideas. Furthermore, rumor has it when you use it for its true purpose i.e. to explain its origin, its phonetics reverberate throughout the past, present, and future and opens up your psyche to inter-dimensional communication, and if you’re quality of being is of the right form and substance so that an Angel could interact with you without harming you or causing you to harm others, then they will establish a connection with you, these are what is known as the Enochian Calls. This preparation process is not one to skip over though, Angels are powerful and if a proper sacred space is not available then you have a greater risk of chaos and heightened entropy.\n     So the question arises, if language is a means of relating to the self (depending on what you have found the Self to be, in this instance I’d call it Individuated Consciousness or Self-Realized), and acts as a feedback mechanism for the environment both within (emotional, mental, physical well-being) and without (environmental, spatial, temporal perceptions) the Observer, what information is being left out that goes beyond the grasp of not just our instruments and measuring devices but beyond language itself, so complex that it cannot be fully interpreted linguistically?  \n      The argument being made by Cheung in The Metaphysics and Unnamability of the Dao is suggesting that you cannot name the Dao, that this question can only be posed and not answered fully. When studying language, many questions arise that would appear to have fundamental answers but nevertheless remain unanswered to the day by societies most prominent neuro-linguists and philosophers. If it is true that something within us generated this language, perhaps one of our endowments (In Dao Ment), it would follow that this process has two potential interpretations of us language users, that it either is not capable of describing its source, we find this philosophy in neurology dominant, that because consciousness is a product of the brains chemistry we conscious observers do not have the capacity to comprehend the brain itself, hence all of the unknowns in that particular field, or that our biology designed language specifically so it could be reverse engineered acting as a map back into whence it came, which I know is a strong sentiment held by Kabbalistic students. It seems Cheung holds the belief that we do not have the capacity to mentally wrestle and conceptualize the Dao, he holds that the Transcendent Other is to far reaching for the humans to comprehend. Contradictorily he goes on to describe the Dao, “All sounds in nature (These sounds include the organic outgrowth of language from the nature of mans being) belong to Dao's constituent aural aspectual totality (pg 3),” he continues, “There are things in Dao, and thus Dao has substantive informative contents (in this instance, the informative content is language). Also, Dao keeps on transforming without conforming to any specific forms or regularities.” Suggesting an ever-changing nature composed of impartial constituents. Our impartial constituents, or non-conformity to any specific form could be allusion to the structure of language and its multitude of ways of expressing human thought and spirit. The 10 thousand things in Dao, a metaphor for the limitations of language. I consider all the different languages there have been and how they were able to capture different ideologies and form different cultures, how language has morphed and we lost the ability to understand language specific knowledge in trade for concepts we could not rationalize before. \n    I do not agree with Cheung in that the Dao should remain nameless. It is far too evident that there is this thing that is staring us right in the face yet we still can’t seem to comprehend it. To simply remove it as if we don’t see it and remove any type of language that allows us to discus it would be an act against God, or a supreme showing of your intellectual ass. We may as well name it “The Unmissable Yet Indescribable.” The Metaphysical aspect of the Dao is that words and letters who’s forms and meaning change with time continue to bring influence and information to Conscious Creators of Reality, this meaning can have to do with the physical Reality or with Phantasia and both realms of thought can influence your actions, subsequent thinking patterns, and ultimately change your physical and biological environment and the person you are and the types you attract. Those who are In-Dao’ed know that there are those who are Masters of the Phantasm Communications, they carve out slivers of an ethereal, disorderly yet orderly, limitless yet limited void ~ The Subjective Plane ~ into little symbolic images, words, and phrases ~ The Objective Realm ~ which help the perplexed human comprehend the unknowable forces that govern our interactions and evolutions. There are those too though, among the 10,000 things, who use the Metaphysics of the Dao for nefarious deeds whom the just must remain ever vigilant and intent on their subjugation and re-pairing of the informational realms within Dao to produce a harmony between the internal worlds of individuals and the external world. \n     The Dao is the entirety of language itself. In the same sense that Haim-Hillel says God reveals his own characteristics through the language of the Torah. The Dao is every language, but since language came from Dao, language is not the source of Dao. The Dao can only impart language with the ability to acknowledge that which birthed it, yet not fully encapsulate for the simple law that the linguistic programming is a subset of a larger program.

      "body": "I can pontificate that one of the most difficult aspects of trying to translate the nature of the Dao, would be first to translate classical Chinese into English. Words are deeper than their dictionaries definition. Words convey ideas, concepts, and emotions; they express what your character is. They are a definite force that engages in intangible physics. Language is one of the most special aspects of the Human Experience in that our communicative style is superbly unique to the rest of the natural kingdom but also in that language is a physical tangible directly experiential force in our material reality that has its immediate roots in the mystery of the transcendental conscious other.\n      Language is one of the only tools we have that bridges that misty gap between the subjective plane to the objective experience. We truly have to first analyze the language of the Dao and translation to see what we are looking at, or perhaps what were not looking at. The ideas and emotions behind the Chinese words are more often than not lost in translation as time goes on and language evolves, the receiving end, being English in this case, can loose a significant amount of meaning. It is often said that language shapes how we see reality, how true is this though? As physics would dictate, when you are reading and writing, your brain tracks along in a similar manner. Your neural circuits fire in a pattern that is a super set of the linguistic structure of which you are using. When you are fluent in English, your mind is encoded, programmed, filtered, and fractured into 26 rudimentary areas. We use these letters, which are like lenses, to project out of our minds eye an informational matrix that supports our sociological view of the world. With labels of the world and labels of how the processes of the world work we can better act within the world. This presents a schism for Free Willed Observers who exist outside of space and time, in this world but not of it (to put it like Jesus). The language we are using to describe this world is in it and of it, its apart of the structural integrity, yet still sourced outside of this world. Hence its apparently mystical nature.\n     Language as an institution is an artificial construct and therefore is the first barrier in discussing phenomenology. On a neurological level, when we encode our mind with language, since language has an innate mathematical property and has connections to the atomic structure and to the geometric make up of time-space itself (which is another article), it can literally act as a map of time and space on multiple levels of reality and drastically influence your perception of both. One of the most interesting things is this though, when we change the foundational idea of how we perceive Time, this also changes the medium by which ideas are transferred. So to look at how ideas are transferred, first you must look at the structure of language.\n      We read English from left to right top down and this is reflected in our neural networks. But traditional Chinese was (a symbolic language) read from top to bottom and from either side of the X-axis. This is a complete rewiring of foundational neural networks and orientation in space-time. This main difference in information flow has a significant impact on the brain and how the mind perceives reality. (1) “The details of a language – in this case an apparently superficial feature of how people in a given culture interact with its written form, seems to shape the way that people think about something totally unrelated. As Griffin (2004) argues, “eye movements are tied to our organization of information. Patterns of interaction with writing appear to seep out beyond the borders of language. Learning to use a writing system creates routines of interaction with space that affect how we map time onto it.” \n     So when I say language looses a part of it self when it is translated, I’m speaking of entire linguistic structures, cultural ideologies and characteristics, myths and lore, tradition and ritual, sub cultures and local knowledge, your neurological orientation along the time space continuum itself is transfigured when a language is lost or mutated. When that happens the information embedded within those structures must be translated to fit the confines of a new space-time rule-set entirely different from the original. (linguistic rule-set, though we see now that time/language is subjective and inherently related to our perception of language/time.) Thus there is a large disparity of communicable ideas across the broad spectrum of language that makes me wonder, what haven’t we thought to think of because our language has kept us from it? These are a taste of the limitations the Dao has given us. Perhaps this is why there is so much confusion in our world, especially over the Big Picture,  human purpose, how to run politics, psychology, etc etc.\n     Other sacred languages are also read from right to left such as Arabic and Hebrew. In order to ever be able to truly grasp the original meaning of the Tao Te Ching, we first must temporally and spatially reorient ourselves to even be in the proper place to begin to receive the message.\n     In this article by Leo K. C. Cheung, he tries to reconnect the ideas that have been lost to time in attempt to reveal the true nature of the Dao, enforcing its polarizing characteristics such as “Great” and “far-reaching” and “functioning everywhere” yet it is “unknowable” and “hidden,” “Vague and Elusive.” What’s being done in the Tao Te Ching is someone or something has translated an idea of something whose metaphysics does not allow it to be put into language. “Dao is hidden because, even though Dao has substantive contents and we are parts of Dao, it is unnamable, and thus language cannot convey anything specific about Dao.” This was evident to Confucius. Following is the very first chapter of the Tao:\n\n“The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao\nThe name that can be named is not the eternal name\nThe nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth\nThe named is the mother of myriad things\n\nThus, constantly free of desire\nOne observes its wonders\nConstantly filled with desire\nOne observes its manifestations\n\nThese two emerge together but differ in name\nThe unity is said to be the mystery\nMystery of mysteries, the door to all wonders.”\n\n     When the brain processes words, there are two man functions of doing so, one is connecting the words to all of the semantics, syntax, grammatical laws, relationship to other words and letters, and associations to events, people, places, and things stored within your immediate subconscious. This initial process is a superficial one, the following milliseconds of neural linguistic decryption involve going beyond simple analytics to comparatively analyze and attaching everything you know, believe, and feel to be true about that word, sentence, or bit of information just processed to your stored database of experience. This second process allows a person to mentally generate new thoughts and extrapolate new ideas to compare to the freshly assimilated information. These are two processes that are a product of evolutionary behavior that has evolved in tandem with the advent of language. \n     Has there ever been an Organic Source language? Jeremy Narby the author of The Cosmic Serpent: DNA and the Origins of Knowledge would insist, and I tend to agree, that linguistic information is encoded within DNA and relayed to us through trance and entheogenic endeavors which resulted in the first use of a spoken language, later written, and later faultily transcribed. This suggests a genetic transmission of information concerning communicative abilities that were given to Individuated Consciousness with a physiological and geometric correspondence to DNA that originated as molecular information within our genetics, the language we are using today would be an outgrowth of that initial blossoming of communication from within mans biology, to the biological man himself, then from man to collective and collective to man and back down the ladder. Is there a way to trace back our linguistic lineage to one source language and if so, would this language contain the knowledge of life’s Greater Mysteries and even the ones beyond our current languages’ contextual limits? Some like Noam Chomsky, John Dee, Edward Kelly, Jason Louv, and Dan Winter tend to agree on this topic, although to slightly varying degrees. Chomsky, a prominent neurolinguist suggests a Universal Language that every human brain (or perhaps genetics) have pre-installed in them. The others suggest an Angelic language known as Enochian and interpret Adam as having named everything in the Garden of Eden with this language. The last man to speak it was Enoch and Enoch walked with God (Gen 5:21). This language is still studied today and is a functioning tool to express ideas. Furthermore, rumor has it when you use it for its true purpose i.e. to explain its origin, its phonetics reverberate throughout the past, present, and future and opens up your psyche to inter-dimensional communication, and if you’re quality of being is of the right form and substance so that an Angel could interact with you without harming you or causing you to harm others, then they will establish a connection with you, these are what is known as the Enochian Calls. This preparation process is not one to skip over though, Angels are powerful and if a proper sacred space is not available then you have a greater risk of chaos and heightened entropy.\n     So the question arises, if language is a means of relating to the self (depending on what you have found the Self to be, in this instance I’d call it Individuated Consciousness or Self-Realized), and acts as a feedback mechanism for the environment both within (emotional, mental, physical well-being) and without (environmental, spatial, temporal perceptions) the Observer, what information is being left out that goes beyond the grasp of not just our instruments and measuring devices but beyond language itself, so complex that it cannot be fully interpreted linguistically?  \n      The argument being made by Cheung in The Metaphysics and Unnamability of the Dao is suggesting that you cannot name the Dao, that this question can only be posed and not answered fully. When studying language, many questions arise that would appear to have fundamental answers but nevertheless remain unanswered to the day by societies most prominent neuro-linguists and philosophers. If it is true that something within us generated this language, perhaps one of our endowments (In Dao Ment), it would follow that this process has two potential interpretations of us language users, that it either is not capable of describing its source, we find this philosophy in neurology dominant, that because consciousness is a product of the brains chemistry we conscious observers do not have the capacity to comprehend the brain itself, hence all of the unknowns in that particular field, or that our biology designed language specifically so it could be reverse engineered acting as a map back into whence it came, which I know is a strong sentiment held by Kabbalistic students. It seems Cheung holds the belief that we do not have the capacity to mentally wrestle and conceptualize the Dao, he holds that the Transcendent Other is to far reaching for the humans to comprehend. Contradictorily he goes on to describe the Dao, “All sounds in nature (These sounds include the organic outgrowth of language from the nature of mans being) belong to Dao's constituent aural aspectual totality (pg 3),” he continues, “There are things in Dao, and thus Dao has substantive informative contents (in this instance, the informative content is language). Also, Dao keeps on transforming without conforming to any specific forms or regularities.” Suggesting an ever-changing nature composed of impartial constituents. Our impartial constituents, or non-conformity to any specific form could be allusion to the structure of language and its multitude of ways of expressing human thought and spirit. The 10 thousand things in Dao, a metaphor for the limitations of language. I consider all the different languages there have been and how they were able to capture different ideologies and form different cultures, how language has morphed and we lost the ability to understand language specific knowledge in trade for concepts we could not rationalize before. \n    I do not agree with Cheung in that the Dao should remain nameless. It is far too evident that there is this thing that is staring us right in the face yet we still can’t seem to comprehend it. To simply remove it as if we don’t see it and remove any type of language that allows us to discus it would be an act against God, or a supreme showing of your intellectual ass. We may as well name it “The Unmissable Yet Indescribable.” The Metaphysical aspect of the Dao is that words and letters who’s forms and meaning change with time continue to bring influence and information to Conscious Creators of Reality, this meaning can have to do with the physical Reality or with Phantasia and both realms of thought can influence your actions, subsequent thinking patterns, and ultimately change your physical and biological environment and the person you are and the types you attract. Those who are In-Dao’ed know that there are those who are Masters of the Phantasm Communications, they carve out slivers of an ethereal, disorderly yet orderly, limitless yet limited void ~ The Subjective Plane ~ into little symbolic images, words, and phrases ~ The Objective Realm ~ which help the perplexed human comprehend the unknowable forces that govern our interactions and evolutions. There are those too though, among the 10,000 things, who use the Metaphysics of the Dao for nefarious deeds whom the just must remain ever vigilant and intent on their subjugation and re-pairing of the informational realms within Dao to produce a harmony between the internal worlds of individuals and the external world. \n     The Dao is the entirety of language itself. In the same sense that Haim-Hillel says God reveals his own characteristics through the language of the Torah. The Dao is every language, but since language came from Dao, language is not the source of Dao. The Dao can only impart language with the ability to acknowledge that which birthed it, yet not fully encapsulate for the simple law that the linguistic programming is a subset of a larger program. If the Dao were the ocean, then language is like a net. You can cast out your words and figure out what is in there, fish, algae, seaweed, rocks, maybe some trash, coral, you could capture essences of the ocean, its taste and texture, salty and wet, etc. etc., but you cannot capture the ocean itself. However you can grab hold of some droplets, and like they said in Cloud Atlas, what is an ocean but a multitude of drops? Like they say in the Occult, As above, so below. And like they say in Latin, Portionemque Totius – Part containing the whole. \n \n\n\n\n\n Partial Source List\n\nCheung, Leo K.

      "body": "In Consideration of Anarchy\n\n     We have a problem. There’s a big elephant in the room. By room I mean Oval Office, and by elephant, I mean Trump. The icon that is Trump, is a symbolic output of a System whose function is to represent the peoples collective ideas, ideologies, religions, morals, dogmas, social attitudes and tendencies, and serve as a general tool of evolution for the collective fate of those who pledge allegiance to that Symbol and if you’re like me, then the Pledge of Allegiance was apart of your public school duty. I’ve learned a good motto for these legionaries could be “with Congress, comes progress.” This System was designed to maintain social order utilizing representational power from its citizens. Donald Trump is just one of many red flags that indicate that the System has failed. What was a system of democracy initiated by our founding fathers, has become corrupted. The means of representation have been meddled with; there were some backdoor deals, money was exchanged, and one thing has been made to seem like another. By what appears to be dark magic, our sovereign republic under God, has been usurped by a despotic tyranny mastered by demagogues whose main purpose is to maintain the illusion that the System is still operating correctly.\n\n     William Penn put it right when he declared, “Men must be governed by God or they will be ruled by tyrants.” What is at stake is not just your personal liberty, or your sovereignty, or your property, not only your security as an American citizen, not just the constitution, but the secure foundation of future generations and the potential full emancipation of the human race. Humanity has entered the Age of Information and very soon, if it hasn’t happened yet, singularity will be reached and the Quantum Age will begin. The amount and quality flow of information between entities during the time before the internet compared to the post quantum leap is comparable to that of a snail and a lightning bolt. This leap from dull awareness into continually growing hyper sentience is mediated by the evolution of technology. With the advent of this type of Artificial Intelligence, the archaic power systems in place to maintain it are struggling desperately to hold on to their systemic overlays into the social infrastructure as their capacity for change and adaptation is tested by the birth of the new system, a system that is a result from the ingenuity and creative qualities of man. According to Moores Law of Exponential Growth, at the end of the century computers will be a million trillion times faster (10^18) than they are presently. Can we imagine the disruptions this will cause in the sadly outdated and noticeably dysfunctional social, political, and power systems? \n\t\n     Please, I know the stakes are high, the anxiety is pressing, the big words are causing strain, and you have lots of insecurities and questions when the topic of Anarchy is raised around an already very delicate and fragile environment. So lets quickly extinguish any preconditioned ideas of what Anarchy is and how it works. Anarchy from Greek literally means ‘without a leader’. This does not translate as a chaotic power structure; it translates as a decentralized power structure. The power is still there, it is simply channeled differently. You may assume that with Anarchy comes the loss of your voice and representation. That democracy in not achievable through Anarchy and community investment is pushed aside as debauchery and animalistic tendencies surface in the mob mentality of the lower cultural strata’s. But this is only how Anarchy has been depicted by those who are apart of the current failing System. A poor attempt at propaganda to hypnotize its audience, this depiction couldn’t be further from the truth.\n\t\n     To quote Noam Chomsky (1) an Anarchist philosopher from a lecture on Common Good delivered at the Columbia University in 2006, “[Anarchism is the] broad tendency in human development that seeks to identify structures of hierarchy, authority and domination that constrain human development, and then subject them to a very reasonable challenge: Justify yourself. If these structures can’t meet that challenge, they should be dismantled — and, Anarchists believe, “refashioned from below.”” As we, and our technology evolves, we will be capable of testing the limits and constraints of any governing model with a higher and higher degree of accuracy to gauge if its functions are in alignment with its purpose (meaning personal and cultural self limiting superimpositions built up by the old paradigm will fall by the wayside as they are proved unnecessary, harmful, and wasteful). If its functions are unjustified, i.e. the mistreatment of a community in a third world country to outsource American jobs, the dysfunctional components can be removed. Anarchy doesn’t mean if an institution has some bad outputs and some good ones that the whole system must be upended, just that those parts of it can be taken apart and the good usable systems remain. The current governing model is slow to remedy itself and utilizes outdated technology to maintain its structure. We know that if we implement the new technology we have it will effectively outdate what is already in place. Anarchy would disrupt the power flow and streamline it into a decentralized highly efficient (thanks to technological advancements, the internet has turned the nation into a massive networking brain) network. We have already begun to see this happen as Blockchain technology test the constraints of financial realms. Once this momentum pours into the political realm, the obvious next choice will be Anarchy. Once everybody can communicate effectively and directly with producers and suppliers, with medical professionals and political leaders, with their neighbors both foreign and domestic, all the systems that have been maintaining those connections through the old System, will become renewed and upgraded.\n\t\n     Now that I have remedied those fallacies regarding the definition and applicability of Anarchy, perhaps you can see where testing its efficacy could be beneficial for a population. These institutions are stubborn. Why has marijuana, a miracle plant, not been legalized yet? The excuses are inexcusable. Anarchy can help address this. Is the electoral system represented correctly? Back to the means of representation and how it has been skewed. Do the authoritative systems have completely transparent systems? Are our presidents completely transparent, what about the voting systems? Are the needs and desires of the working class being expressed and represented efficiently to those capable of making change? With the aid of technology, we can design an Anarchic system that has those qualities; some are already in existence today. We must simply organize around a philosophy that is outside of the state propagated westernized democratic capitalistic version of the world. Sure there are good things that Capitalism and democracy has afforded us, but as a child sets aside toys it outgrows, so does culture set aside old paradigms no longer capable of serving an advancing species. Systems more specific to the need of the communities and to the innate endowments of the creative impulse within man must be developed to steer us off this course of this borderline self-destruction and that is exactly what Anarchy is designed for. \n\t\n     I personally see this as an inevitable step in the progression of power, but what I would like you to consider, is to become more aware of the abilities you have to enact Anarchy where you see it could be beneficial. This is done best by realizing that your every day personal relationships you have with your friends, the social order within your personal life, is a representation of an Anarchic system. Notice you don’t need input from the state to maintain your social status, but you do use things like Apples phones and Verizons ISP’s to maintain relations with your foreign grandmother overseas. The social system that is specific to a community and extended families is a microcosmic version of what can be applied on a national and international level. Quoting Chomsky again, “Sovereignty will return to free and independent producers only when the people in the mills are the ones who own the mills”, We just need a tool such as Anarchy that is designed to solve differences and find middle ground to apply when we individuals are confronted with the challenge of stubborn, harmful, and constricting edicts, laws, and decrees from larger than life corporate, legal, and governmental entities. We can trudge on with old methods and decrepit systems and pray to the gods for the best outcome, (though I’m pretty sure Einstein defined ‘doing the same thing over and over expecting different results’ as insanity) or I suppose we can try a new means of solving social problems such as Anarchy. All those in favor of something new say Aye! ~ Crowd chants ~, “AYE!” That’s it, the “Ayes” have it folks.\n\n(1) https://chomsky.info/20140107/",

      "body": "WILLPOWER AS IT RELATES TO CONSCIOUSNESS\n \nMy intentions for this article are to outline to you the neurology behind being self-aware, and how this knowledge can be used to aid us in our endeavor of exploring supra-physical realities and the extremities of consciousness.\n\nIn order to draw parallels between neural activity and conscious awareness and mental faculties, I first must relate the brains physical layers of functions to behavior into three intellectually accurate yet still metaphorical layers of function.\n\nI have come across a particularly interesting neuroscientific study regarding the induction of self-awareness in dreams. In a book titled Behave: The Biology of Human Beings at our Worst and Best by neuro-endocrineologist Robert Sapolsky, he details the layers of the brain and how they relate to human behavior. The brain can be categorized into three metaphorical layers that highlight the order in which the brain has evolved and the manners in which decisions are made.\n\nThe first deals with causal based logical mechanisms. Primal instincts to mate, to eat, this layer deals with autonomous functions, if your skin cells detect a drop in temperature, they send a signal to your brain, which layer one depicts then sends the command for you to start shivering. This is a rudimentary understanding of layer 1.  \n\nLayer 2 has developed as an emotional and associatory center and is found primarily in mammals and primates, the main structures of layer two is the Hippocampus which deals with emotional responses of anger, anxiety and fear also declarative long term memories that indicate a factual nature, “fire is hot,” “I will hurt if I jump from this cliff”, “I can take a different route home to beat the traffic jam” etc. We will not talk anymore about this layer. \n\nThe third layer to develop was the Frontal Cortex. This is the outermost layer of your brain that deals with deep cognition, ethics and principalities, contemplation of philosophies and Reason, also notably it deals with long term decision making. When you see the cookie jar but you tell yourself, “No, Self, you’re on that sugar free diet remember?” Vital energy is discharged in the Frontal Cortex that allows this decision to take place. All areas of the brain require high amounts of electrical energy, but none more than the Frontal Cortex.\n\n \nHere is a blueprint of the Triune Brain as presented by neuroscientist Paul D. Maclean\n\n\n\nThere are a handful of cases that have allowed neurologists to come to these conclusions, most notably one involving a man named Gage and an iron rod from a railroad track that blasted through his jaw and out the top front of his skull taking with it most of his Frontal Lobe and with that the balance between his intellectual faculties and animalistic propensities. He could not refrain from indulging in ludicrous profanity, was obstinate in his beliefs and was victim to unaccountable changes in mood and behavior and would be heavily indecisive on different opinions and future plans. He could no longer act “appropriately” in a social setting and was reduced to a circus exhibit. Amazingly though after a few years, he made remarkable recovery and was described as “broadly appropriate in his behavior” by the doctor who had been following him over the years. This becomes important later as I will touch on conscious intention as it applies to the genesis of new neural circuits especially within the Cortex.  \n\n \nHere is Gage with his spike(D)\n\nAs Sapolsky is reviewing these cases of Frontal Cortex damage, we also examine the process and affects of Dementia. Frontotemporal Dementia to be exact. Frontal damage, (which also occurs in Huntington’s disease) invokes serious behavioral disinhibition – stealing, aggressiveness, hypersexuality, bursts of compulsion. But when it is working properly we have a different story. When properly functioning, the Cortex plays key roles in mediating the availability of our Willpower, the energy it takes to make the decision to not curse out your child, to refrain from hitting your brother cause you know your mom will punish you, to not act on those crazy thoughts that occasionally pop in your head (like shouting “I object!” at a wedding, or telling somebody you don’t agree with to “fuck off,” regardless of implications) this synaptic energy is rare and depletable. The most repeatable and striking findings when investigating Willpower reveals that Will is a finite resource. \n\nYou see, it takes a lot of energy to be a life contemplating, over worrying, self-regulating person. (Scientifically based evidence on how to strengthen your capacity for Willpower later) When you run out you can begin to become physically tired and are prone to making more poor decisions, taking that extra shot of whiskey, eating the cookie, impulsively spending money on a good sale, and even uncontrollable gambling. \n\nSo here is what our frontal cortex is good for in terms of conscious application and intention. While were not sure which part of the Cortex imagined images originate in, we know that their processing begins somewhere in the Cortex and ends in the Occipital Lobes (part of cortex towards the back of your skull.) The Cortex allows for all of that specialized human pontification and mindful conjecture about the nature of ![Screen Shot 2018-06-27 at 11.00.13 PM.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaSepTGCnftqbWVqJwPxwwujLXJGhMCUDVjgJX2suaYFF/Screen%20Shot%202018-06-27%20at%2011.00.13%20PM.png)man and handles the projection of theoretical mathematical formulas that help in creating blueprints and schematics and all manner of intellectual functioning are hosted in the cortex. This is of course while it is optimally operating. How do you keep it operating optimally? (A) The two most important factors are a proper diet and a healthy sleep schedule. Sleep experts suggest 6.5 to 7.5 hours of sleep (B). When your cortical energy runs low, you make decisions that you normally wouldn’t were you fully online. How can we gauge this energy to see where along the scale you fall?\n\n\nAsk yourself, where else do you make decisions that you normally wouldn’t were you your totally clear functioning self? In the Dream Consciousness of course. Just the other day I was having a particularly violent dream involving gun fights and quick decisions. Of course I don’t like hurting people physically or emotionally, yet in the dream I am making heartless decisions to kill other dream characters. Does this say something about my deep rooted feelings towards the archetypes I was battling? Perhaps, but realistically that is just energy wasting conjecture on the frontal cortex’s part (poor attempt at humor).  What it says undoubtedly, is that the cortex during REM sleep is hypofuntional. Meaning inactive, in a state of diminished function. Consider your dreams and your dream journal if you have one, go back to it and look at the questionable moral decisions and strange actions you have made in your mysterious unconscious state, a friend of mine once told me of a dream he had involving an intimate scenario with his sister! Of course, this is not uncommon, but it shows an intermittent or lack there of in neural communication between the cortex and the “dream scriptwriters” which are operating from layers one and two. Can you gauge how functional your Cortex is while you are experiencing dreams by noting the degree of self-awareness you make in dream time as it relates to the quality of the decisions made? It would be wise to start taking notation, the point of this article is to provide means of raising that quality. Those who are students of the unconscious have likely experienced the weighing of decisions in dreams, deciding to make a clear decision, to hit somebody, but not experience the action itself sensorially, as if our decision making awareness is below the conscious surface of the dream character, who perhaps is a projection of yourself with your awareness existing as a “decision maker” within the subconscious that drives the avatar to make decisions. Sure you can make decisions, but how do you experience the full affects with any degree of clarity? We see this not only in the dream realms where we bear witness to scenarios created and influenced by our consciousness and its many layers, but on the flip side of the mirror, in real life when we are playing baseball and a pop fly comes your way out in left field. Immediately your brain starts sending the signals to your legs to tense your muscles, lift your leg, lean forward and propel yourself, release tension in leg one, send signals to hip to bring leg forward simultaneously plant the opposite leg, swing your arms in momentum, all the while not looking at your legs or arms only having an eye for the white ball flying through the blue sky. You do not have to think about all of the micro movements, sub processes, and intricate coordination’s that are rapidly being fired off by your subconscious, and so the ego does not have to determine the majority of functions being carried out. Just like in the dream, you simply make the decision to catch the ball, and you do it without much hassle. It seems that the decision-maker leads and the body/dream follows. What separates the two scenarios is where along the ladder reaching from conscious experience to the archetypical sub conscious Primes, does the decision maker gain a sense of self-awareness? And what brings about that sense? The audible ping of the baseball off the bat and the visual of a ball coming to you for the former, imagine a left fielder absent mindedly chewing on a piece of grass watching the clouds when the batter hits the ball and the crowd starts cheering, that’ll bring our left fielder out of la-la land. The latter is a bit more of a complex answer. It depends on the amount of data flow from different regions of the brain. \n\nWe are now entering the realm of the unknown where causal based science looses its grips and subjective experience becomes the main processor of phenomenology. We can say that when dreaming occurs, the frontal cortex goes offline and you have dreams that can be categorized as abnormal, not on par with your normal behavior and moral compass, as reported in non lucid participants in a lab study, but studies have shown that when the third layer of the brain, the Cortex is stimulated (using short gamma bursts) in the midst of a dream, the sense of self-awareness is repeatedly heightened. Participants realized they were dreaming while still in the dream. (C) \n\nThis can explain why being aware in dreams is a rare phenomena and actively trying to rewire your neurons to be functional when biologically they are not so inclined is such a difficult task for consciousness explorers. \n\nNow for the ultimate question for conscious exploration, how can we maintain a greater degree of lucidity? How can we exercise our intention and Willpower over a dream scenario to become completely in control? How can we use this objective data and apply it to our conscious sleep practice? What we have is a clear casual relation between neurotic higher-level cognition and self-awareness in an unconscious state. At the other end of the spectrum of consciousness analysis, in the book Tibetean Yoga and Secret Doctrines by Evan Wentz, the goal of the yogi is to become completely aware of their own consciousness as it shifts through various levels of awareness, from waking, right into sleeping to the reality frame where dreams are generated, given the monicker “The Clear Light” by Tibeteans, think of it as “Dream Building Space” for contextual purposes.  This is achieved through a series of mental techniques and practices to achieve mindfulness that all orbit around the ritual of sleep.  An overview of these techniques will show that the main component is to maintain an active intent to have a clear thoughtless mind, whilst simultaneously contemplating but not analyzing the nature of the spatial in which you wish to transition your consciousness. Again, the act of contemplating abstract ideas, for random example “I am the same I that I was yesterday,” or imagining a place in which you can exist and act without a body, undoubtedly is a process of higher level cognition that when focused on stimulates activity in the Cortical regions. This ancient Tibetean practice employs knowledge of neurotic function only recently garnered by science as a tool to leap into altered states of awareness, those of which science is still yet to accept and explore. \n\nAgain, with this knowledge of the neurology regarding the ability for self referential thought and action, how are we to apply it to be beneficial in waking life and simultaneously carrying that Willpower into the Non-Physical Reality so you can more effectively explore the multiverse? \n\nLuckily the answer is simple and like always, you already have it. \n\nPractice. Repetition is the mother of skill. I said we would come back to our friend Gage and his railroad spike. Gage, who was missing the majority of his frontal lobe, who’s cognitive experience deteriorated into a state of social anarchy and emotional imbalance, was able to recover after a few short years of applying himself to his tasks. He regrew his higher-level cognitive circuits, as his environment demanded it of him. If he had not been in that environment would he have recovered as fully? Possibly, the message I gained is that, he put himself to it. He applied himself. In his case, his task was to be a stagecoach driver, in our case, its applying our self to a practice of attentiveness. If Gage can regrow brain matter that was violently removed from his brain, by simply applying himself, logic would dictate you have the potential to gain a mastery over our own current fully operational circuits by having a similar conscious intent. \n\nGages delirious state is analogous to the ‘unconscious,’ weak-willed, non-lucid states of conscious explorers. His journey to recovery is a real life example of our potential for growth insofar as quality of consciousness and ability to become more self-aware. To know thyself is life’s purpose. To see the power we have over our own chemistry is almost magical. What are you going to do with your brain???\n\nTo keep your Cortex fully functional and optimally operating with as little inhibition as possible, we want to increase our sensitivity to Cortical processing. This I have simply labeled Cortical Health. Cortical Health like previously stated relies on two fundamental pillars, sleep and diet. Sleep is the most crucial element to proper functioning. At this point in our exploration and conscious evolution, we should have a regimented sleep cycle, not just for purposes of neural health, but to maintain the natural sleeping rhythms that nature has crafted for us (the Circadium Rhythm.) Staying in those cycles can be the greatest aid while derailing just a little can have significant impacts on dreaming faculties and that grouchy behavior in the morning, which often extends its affects the entire day. Cortical Health is one that may scare off some, but that’s cause the truth hurts and the science doesn’t lie! Below is a list of inhibitors to the Cortex functioning. (G)\n\n•\tPharmaceutical Medications\n•\tHigh Blood Pressure\n•\tAsthma\n•\tMarijuana, Heroin, Cocaine\n•\tAlcohol\n•\tCaffeine\n•\tNicotine\n•\tSugar\n•\tAddictive agents/refined sugars\n•\tCheese (Tyramine Affect)\n•\tMeat\n\nThese last two are hard hitters, but the acids and compounds found exclusively in meat and cheese are known interferers to neurotransmitters required for proper frontal lobe function. \n\nThe Cortical Health advice will not take you where you want to go. It will only make the path to get there a little less overgrown with prickly brush. However, some important activities you can undertake aside from your nutritional intake that will boost the processing power of your Cortex and renew the vital consciousness energies that define Willpower are as follows:\n\n1.\tYou must learn how to manage stress. You cannot be overwhelmed with social duties and responsibilities. You must develop a system that relieves yourself of stress during your day. The most effective methods are centered on breathing techniques. Your Blood Pressure is a result of your heart rate which is a pattern rested in your breath. Draw your attention to your breath, slowly inhale through the nose, let it go. Do it again. Become aware of nothing but the breath. It takes less than three minutes and is extremely powerful. More articles on the Philosophy of Breath to come.\n2.\tVerbally encourage yourself. The amount of research regarding how we view ourselves, how we talk to ourselves, how we think about ourselves (See Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton) and how that shapes our bodies chemistry from genetic alterations to neurology is overwhelming. How you think of yourself and especially how you verbalize your thoughts about yourself have measurable affects on your neural construction. Self Driven-Intent affects your neurology (E). Simply telling yourself “I can,” “I am,” or “I will,” can reinforce a positive feedback loop, where as “I cant,” “I don’t know how,” or “I wish I could,” reinforce a negative feedback loop. For people with depression and suicidal tendencies, this could save a life. Don’t cut yourself down. However you view yourself, your biology tends to lean in that way as well. “I am discipline, I am willpower, I am The Force.”\n3.\tAgain, as imperative as ever, go to sleep no later than 10:30pm, the body should naturally wake up around 5 am. Sleeping time is vitally important as this is the time for your body to regenerate and recuperate. \n4.\tMeditation. Mindfulness. Study after study have been done that relate meditative states to improved neural interconnectivity. Changes generally start around 8 weeks, meaning you don’t have to devote your life to become a recluse shaolin monk, you should just spend some time with yourself every morning accessing your state of mind before you begin your day.  The highest ratio for neural structural efficacy to data processing happens when you meditate, self reflect, and use your imagination (F “They found the highest agreement between structure and information flow in the “default mode network,” which is responsible for inward-focused thinking such as daydreaming.”)\n5.\tLastly we have exercise and diet again. We are not quite sure why exercise works, but it is known to reduce and manage stress levels. Diet is paramount as a plant based intake and less processed foods can make more energy available for the brain. \n\n \nI write this in hopes that it can give you the realization you need to see that your discipline is generated by intention, that you can strengthen your Willpower be conscious application, and the advantages of strengthening your discipline can carry over across multiple frames of reality which you are always an active participant in whether you are conscious of it or not. The theory goes that maintaining an effective and fluid stream of imaginative consciousness (intentionally keeping the Frontal Cortex active) can act as a capacitor keeping you fully self aware as you move from beta, to theta, to gamma, from waking, to sleeping, to self induced lucid dreams and out-of-body experiences that so many traditions and spiritual masters and shamans have tried to inform us of. The same circuits that are most active when in those altered states are the same ones that are active when we are striving to meet our goals, aspirations, and social desires. \n\nThis is a simple perspective analyzing data from multiple sources including self-experience and is no way meant to be instructional or scientific. Simply my opinions regarding the information I have received. This article is apart of an ongoing series that will attempt to pull together altered states, lucid dreaming, out-of-body experiences, mystical phenomena, and a scientific analysis, as I attempt to learn more for myself, and explore the worlds of consciousness.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(A)\nhttp://www.breachbuilders.org/article.php?story=20100111015631512\n\n\n\n(B) \nhttps://www.fastcompany.com/3032513/6-scientifically-proven-ways-to-boost-your-self-control\n\n© https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.3719.epdf?referrer_access_token=9Tfd9gCOjhmjJ99qLJA0RtRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0NMJX-e58w7wIsk_Aecpf542dQWR8O1rUFA_HuZelRwZxV11gmP5-2Jl_WdZLajhnE2NTSSyW6I_02xukpEMODmZ9DxrTf7hPM4Sayj-ObrwJzQguGOm9l2BdVsdzYkaewnBiHgMAvppyBsSaHtaD1RnZQAKgwOMAsmiAp65qVQk-2F-n0t3HZkf9XSBr1XhPO1jat7x7VvR_Q41x-rkB1C\n\n(D)\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phineas_Gage\n\n(E) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1569494/pdf/rstb20041598.pdf\n\n(F)\nhttps://www.mpg.de/7738341/brain-architecture-daydreaming\n\n(G)\nhttp://www.thelifemanagementalliance.com/Psychological/ThinkingBrain/BrainFrontalLobeCare.html\n![7deb53c56a8a79543c15b366e00ea6ff--brain-science-brain-food.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNXyPmvj7jQuXWV3LxzfGVApPPE4yE6DRswkDQT1V7He2/7deb53c56a8a79543c15b366e00ea6ff--brain-science-brain-food.jpg)",

      "body": "Phase 1: Reintegration\n\nReintegrating our consciousness and spiritual awareness with the Medu Neter (Mother Nature). Medu Neter is an Egyptian term for the spirit that created the flesh that our individuated consciousness is now merged with. It has nurtured our physical existence and has created everything we see in the material world, from our bodies to the trees, birds and bees, and the celestial mechanics of the heavenly bodies, all working in a fluent interdependent cosmic machine that has been able to fine tune our environment precisely for the evolution of all species. I consider Mother Nature our Progenitor, and like all mothers, she wants us to live a happy life where we are capable of reaching our maximum potential. Therefore aligning our corporeal and incorporeal faculties by assessing our relationship with the natural elements will integrate our personal trajectory to be in harmony with the Earth Consciousness System, the ultimate evolutionary system. Aligning your intent to develop your consciousness with the forces of Mother Nature aligns you with the Holiest forces known to Man. \n\n\n\n\nPhase 2: Psychic Stabilization, Moving Out of Division and Judgment\n\nThis phase is intended for individuals to produce a mind state that allows for unhampered and unfiltered interactions with the Larger Consciousness System. As we speak we create, as we think so it is, perception is reality. We have the opportunity to alter our perception. One of the easiest ways of doing this is to practice being judgment free. As we know, existence is something happening within us, therefore when we begin to judge something that appears “outside” of us, what we are really doing is judging an extension of our own Self. This phase is about recognizing the aspects of the fundamental self that exist in everything and everybody. Judgments are divisions, or walls, inside of our consciousness that block our perception from seeing things from different angles. When we dismantle these walls it provides a more clear view of the physical reality, mechanisms behind it, and provides for a better interpretation of phenomena encountered in the non-physical. Being judgment free is the mental platform for moving into higher worlds because it assures that no matter the information that is received by us we will be able to view it with clarity and complete acceptance of its is-ness. Providing the most meaningful lesson from it. Heaven is indeed within us, however if we cannot access it from the conscious waking mind for whatever reason, there is slim chance we can access it when we go to the innerverse. Our life experience here is polarized. Removing judgment from the equations collapses the polarities so we can see things as one interdependent singular entity. Singularity. Phase two goal is about gaining control of the non-physical awareness, internalizing all experiences an insperiences, and by extension, coming into command of different aspects of our own self and sub-conscious. \n\n\n\nPhase 3: Connecting to the Larger Consciousness System.\n\nThe 3rd phase is a natural process of tuning in to your intuition. The fully activated human being understands that the highest intelligence is an intelligence that expresses itself through Creation, which we are undoubtedly at the center of, and thus the faculties that make it so intelligent ie. Omniscience, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, are also faculties that are within us, rarely tapped in to and in many cases completely dormant. This builds on phase two because if we are to judge something outside of us, we surely will judge our own intuition as silly or made up, when in fact our intuition could be information coming directly from the intelligence that created the universe. Though going within the consciousness in deep meditation is not the only way to communicate with the super conscious mind, serendipity and synchronicity are manifestations of this type of connection. (As within, so without.) The goal of Phase Three is learning how to attract synchronicity while interacting on the physical plane by practicing intention and interaction with the Larger Intelligence, and how to tune into the non-physical data streams within our consciousness with use of deep meditation and brain entrainment tools. Ie. Developing a unique relationship with the Larger Intelligence\n\n\n\nPhase 4: Light Generation\n\nPhase 4 is intended to be the phase that opens the door to the inner-space to become a true explorer in the inter-dimensional realms of consciousness. Why? Human Beings are innately hyper-dimensional creatures. Our dreams tell us this, our abstract thinking, imagination, and creative thinking all point in this direction. Entheogens (from Greek, generating God within) create a strong experience of this.  The reasoning and physics of generating your own Light is to hone in on our hyper-dimensional awareness so you can begine to consciously create worlds. This is a goal that will lead to a perfection of that knowledge base that helps to better understand our full capabilities and endowments as consciousness. As individuated consciousness we are innately immortal, inter-dimensional, time travelling, omnipresent units of energy. To know this experientially is the 4th step. Step 3 should provide the inner knowing and the intellectual thought to generate the confidence and will power to create the experience of our own volition without substance. Step two allows for us to experience whatever it is the larger system generates for us and view it subjectively, judgment is crucial here, non-physical matter reality is thought responsive, trust, reputation, integrity, quality of intent, you must be unquestioning in your consciousness otherwise The Intelligence will not take you seriously. Once you are capable of generating light in the Non-Physical Matter Reality and the Physical, then you begin to follow the path back to your true self, to the Over-Soul for an eternal communion. Once you commune, you can then instruct others on how to find the path to Self. \n\n\nPhase 5: Asomatous Feedback\n\nBiofeedback: The process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological functions using instruments that provides feedback on the activity of those same systems. The instruments rapidly and accurately feedback information to the user. \nAsomatous Feedback: The process of gaining greater awareness of the many non-physical functions and physics (laws) using instruments (people engaged in non-physical exploration) to accurately feed back information on the activity of incorporeal events and insperiences to the user. (self, group, community, culture). Why? Consciousness is unmapped territory, the final frontier. Our limits, if there are any, have not been mapped. Everyone on the astral quest is on a learning journey, the more information we can access and share in a group setting the more effective we will be individually and collectively for a micro and macro shift in consciousness. Welcome to the Resistance, you are here to create a better innerstanding of the mechanics of experience. Our goal is evolution for the betterment of the world. \n\nOur time on this planet is precious. It is ripe for development, the Fruit of Knowledge is succulent and mankind is hungry. This is The Quickening. Welcome to the Third Great Enlightenment. Yours Truly and Forever.\n\nNicholas Jensen Denton",
