Essay AbstractLife , from its origin on, has influenced our planet, the result is now a planet with 7 billion people, who are contributing but not always supporting to the total well-being. The individual influence has increased since communication has become essential in our society. In the far future we will have to deal with our sun becoming a red giant, in the near future it will be our main care to steer the mentality of mankind in order to survive. The “special place of our planet and the fine-tuning of the physical constants is something we cannot influence but we have to appreciate. The reason of this unique situation we can find in the “reference of reference” which is our consciousness. The steering of our future lies in the deeper understanding and development of our consciousness, the creator of what we are aware of as reality where matter is an intuitive idea. Technology needs not to be an Existential Risk, because technology is material, and material means “created reality” by our consciousness. We may be on the threshold of creating a new kind of quantum consciousness that can assist us in reaching another level of reality.

Dear Wilhelmus,
I was quite entertained reading your essay. There is a sort of frantic desperation about it that is pretty compelling. Fortunately, you have provided a good example of how modern educational methodology, by dealing exclusively with unverifiable supposedly perfect abstractions, has succeeded in producing a whole class of people acutely prone to suffering abstraction distraction disorder.
You wrote: “One of the possibilities to enhance our senses maybe the future ‘quantum computer”…
As I have tactfully pointed out in my essay, REALITY, ONCE, only unique exists. Unique cannot be enhanced, entranced, or advanced. Our senses are already operating at maximum capability. I do not care how much time, money and effort the scientists put into activating it, no quantum computer will ever be built capable of expelling a unique long, loud, very smelly fart.
Telescopes, microscopes, and all fabricated instruments utterly distort reality due to the fact that they rely on supposedly identical constructed parts. Computers have obliterated reality entirely. Speedometers lie about a vehicle travelling at 60 mph, when the default speed of all surfaces is the speed of light.

Dear Joe
Abstraction Distraction Disorder! You deserve a Nobel prize in medicine for identifying this modern disease. Wilhelmus describes the density of information in our individual overlapping spheres, and that is perfectly true. But compared to the stability of communication between communities and individuals in the pre- industrial age, these modern whirlpools of information may turn our collective brain into a sort of radioactive info- sludge.

Dear Wilhelmus
A very interesting essay. Your starting point (the crowded Earth with the present promise of technology) and your conclusion ( we must not be short- sighted and egotistical and must educate our children to be responsible) are excellent. Apart from some interesting discussion about consciousness and matter, unfortunately there is much in the main part of the essay that is based on what I think are unproven fashionable ideas in physics - such as the multiverse.
Even so I found your concept of individuals each with their their sphere of consciousness merging into some sort of universal consciousness fascinating. It is like the Noosphere (if memory serves) of Pierre de Chardin. It is like the Internet! You mention our almost total dependence on electricity and computers but instead of worrying about whether humanity will survive after billions of years we should worry more about the many scenarios of possible global disasters in the very near future!
With best wishes

Wilhelmus,
"The consciousness of humanity reaching into the ultimate non-materialistic form" sounds pie-in-the-sky to realists but it is a worthy concept that I can't dispute. I certainly don't have one to achieve this.
It is a well-thought-out essay with a lot of concepts to consider. The SSS sphere is fetching. Yours is only my second read. I want to read more before I start rating. I did like your ideas, including your assessment of future threats and the ultimate dissolution of our world.

And... In Total Simultaneity they are also represented, so if they they do not agree, they do not agree with themselves."
I think the most fundamental pattern in nature is the basic convection cycle. Not only does it describe the physical dynamic on this planet, but all others and including galaxies, as mass falls inward and energy radiates outward. As I see it, there is no Big Bang, just an infinity of vortices pulling structure in, heating it up and radiating it back out, until it starts to cool and crystalize back into structure. Which then starts falling inward again. It is just the math only looks at sections of this process and becomes obsessive about its models of them. So we have gravity as collapsing space, but ignore that this side is balancing the fact that light as space expands between galaxies at an equal rate, thus creating an overall balanced flat space. Now this modeling of space is simply using the reference frames of mass and energy. So when we see light that has traveled across the universe, it is only the light which has managed to travel between all the vortices, so of course it is expanded! Not that the universe as a whole is expanded.
I think this pattern also explains many of the aspects of time. As I keep pointing out, while the present seems to move from past to future, it is actually the changing configuration turning future into past. So the energy is constantly moving onto new forms, as these forms coalesce and dissolve, thus the structure goes future to past. Energy expands out, toward the future forms, while the forms age and dissolve, falling into the past.
Consciousness is the energy constantly going onto new thoughts, as these thoughts are the forms of consciousness, falling away into the past.
The point I wish to make here is this pattern also explains much about human society as well as thought processes. In simplistic terms, liberalism is like the energy expanding out toward the future, while conservatism is the ordered structure which seems so hard and fast, yet is actually aging and receding into the past. Thus politics becomes like the cycles of the seasons, with spring pushing out and winter drawing in.
The point being that you are very much out in the leading edge of this bubble of awareness, quite willing to leave convention and structure to fend for themselves, while many of your critics like their hard little ball of wax and consider you disconnected. Which, in many respects, you are, from their view of things. If you wish to communicate with them, you need to do so on their level. Find the heart of their arguments and gently tug on the threads holding them together. Some parts might come unwound and fall away, while often other parts just pull tighter and harder. It would be educational for both you and them.
Keep in mind though, all the layers which form in that convection cycle. Some people are not going to leave that layer they think of as solid ground and fly up into the stratosphere and beyond, or even burrow down into deeper levels. They know their limitations, even if subconsciously.

Dear John
Thank you for your encouraging words.
Of course the what we call BB , a something from nothing , is not my favorite explanation of reality ether, you are right when yoy say that a dynamic universe without a zero point is more understandable as a deterministic ad infinitum till zero. It is nice to think of the heartbeat of the universe, the only thing is that this comparison has one default , there is a beginning and an end to the heartbeat but just because of the fact that we humans see ourselves as causal and so mortal. Once we leave the causality that is the origin of the arrow of time we are FREE.
You mention a very important thought : “The present seems to move from the Past to the Future, it is actually changing the future int the past” of course this is pure logic, because “every future” will be a “past”. Which means in my perception that ALL possible FUTURES are available in TS as Pasts, so future memory , so available as a future past in our time/life lines. Your energy coupling in this perception is something I have to think about, but when we are regarding e=mc2 , and in this way trying to achieve that our reality is non destructible, so real real and not just a thought or a creation of our consciousness, then I am tended towards the thought that this energy/mass problem is also only a deduction to try to explain our reality (one of the infinity).
Each human being has a “bubble of awareness” as you are citing. Indeed this bubble is referring to my SSS, the Subjective Simultaneity Sphere ( see http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/1370 “The Consciousness Connection”. You see consciousness as an energy I see it as a field that is like a catalyst for the mergence of excitations of the matter field, but both views are a form of “energy”.
And indeed John, people are explain everything with data that they receive from their bubble of awareness, which in his turn is limited by the horizon of his observations, once we thought that the earth was at the center of all, but for those people it was “real”, now we think that our bubble was inflated (BICEP) but we are only still observing a little part of the whole shabang, like people before us. Imagine the heartbeat of your universe but then expanded to an infinite amount of bubbles...beautifull isn’t it ?

Wilhelmus,
I'm a bit in Joe Fisher's camp, about the importance of the singularity of perception. I know when I, as an individual, start trying to multiply my perception, that signal of my own awareness would be quickly lost in the cacophony. It is possible to take a generalized view, but that also is refined and defined to a particular range of input, frequency and amplitude, with much of the detail of incorporated foreground and background edited out. The problem with science these days is that it tends not to take the general view, dismissing it as shallow. This leave professionals very knowledgeable about a small range and often divorced from context. While people with a broad view tend to be remiss in many of the details.
As I said, this is because knowledge is a function and consequence of definition and so by its very nature, has to be limited. Thus I'm only really concerned with the conditions and how to improve them on this planet, not what could theoretically happen across a range of other planets, galaxies, universes, etc.

John M

Dear Wilhelmus,
I enjoyed reading your essay!
From the papers published in the journal of consciousness exploration and research, we find that the most fundamental raw-material of this universe is:
not only a real entity, but it is also aware of its own existence; i.e. cosmic consciousness is the most fundamental reality. This universe, with all its 'particles' and 'fields' are a process, or a phenomenon of fluctuations and vibrations spontanously arisen in the ultimate reality. Since, it is not technically possible to generate purely single-frequency laser,or to make single-Hertz narrowband filters, all sources of laser have certain 'line-width' of a few Gega-Herts, or at least a few Kilo-Herts bandwidth; and since these waves of a band coherently add only at discrete places in space and time, we get 'particles' called photons, electrons, quarks...etc. In the double-slit-experiments. The wide band of waves pass through both the slits, but these waves coherently add onlt at discrete places in space and time we detect 'particles'. Thus this whole universe is a paly of waves arisen in the ultimate self-aware Reality. That is why "Just Six Numbers" match so perfectly and precisely. The Sun becoming red giant is a sort of dream in the ultimate reality. Thus there is nothing to worry about much; it is all a play; and in a play we try our level best to win; but even if we loose in a play we do not loose anuthing! The Ultimate Reality is indistructible, and un distroyable. What do you think, Wilhelmus!

Dear Hasmukh
I fully agree, what you are naming Ultimate Reality is the same idea as my Total Simultaneity, only TS is comparable to GOD. The sun becoming red giant is a time-life line in our causal consciousness, it is only causal there is an infinity of YOU's in TS there is the direct entanglemnt of your causal consciousness to GOD.
The new BICEP2 results only are mirrors of yhis causal consciousness, The BB is not needed for an existance GOD, it is only one of the ways he expresses Himself (one of he availabilities in TS). An eternal heartbeat of the material universe without BB is as Great as the idea of a BB.

Wilhelmus,
Your goal:
"The best “technology” to achieve these ideals is taking care of our children and educate them not to strive for(short)economic profit but to strive for the growth of their own consciousness, so that every other individual can share in its findings."
Is very nicely stated, and hopefully we can find a day when we can truly break free of short term economic needs.

I enjoyed your paper Wilhelmus..
I find myself agreeing on many points, and overall I like the way you presented your thesis, but a little more time might have been spent editing or polishing the manuscript - to create a better flow of ideas. Also in criticism, you make some naive statements about quantum fields and other things, but you have evidently done your homework and tried to home in on things you know well. Indeed, your central thrust being the growth of consciousness as a prime motivator is inspired, and seldom finds expression in Science essays. This is to be lauded and admired. And indeed my own essay focuses on how important it is to enhance consciousness growth. But there are complications with some of your ideas.
In order to avoid the existential risk from a computer awakening singularity event, we are in a race to build machines capable of more subtle forms of reasoning, before the interconnections of machines reach a critical mass while computers are still brutish in their nature. We need to be able to build robots like R2D2 and C3PO, in order to avoid having robots like the Terminator as our tormentors and slave masters. Will we still remain useful to the advanced machines of tomorrow, if we give them superhuman capabilities? Are we better off giving them the capacity for human-like emotions and feeling-based motivations? Perhaps we are better off taking the existential risk seriously, and deciding what outcomes would increase the likelihood of human survival.
All the Best,
Jonathan

Jonathan J. Dickau replied on Apr. 13, 2014 @ 00:49 GMT
I should add..
Part of what I am trying to do is assure that humans get to the singularity first, rather than the machines. I am all for truly intelligent machines, and we are likely better off if they are smarter than they need to be, but we need to give human beings the edge. If we were better able to encourage the natural evolution of the learning process in our young people, we would help them to maintain the natural advantage humans have over machines, but efforts to systematize education have forced children to be more mechanical rather than allowing them to be more human. So the emphasis of the human angle in your essay is appreciated.

I did say, “Competition must be allowed between religions, between approaches to technology, and between approaches to the environment.” in the paper and “The room for different views may be had if the views include tolerance for other views (as the rise from tribes to chiefdoms suggests) and include the cooperation with the different views.” in a reply.

Wilhelmus,
In regards to Total Simultaneity, I should mention two ideas worth examining. First off; you should check out Phil Gibbs' "Theory of Theories" which is explained in his Event Symmetric Space-Time book, and also in some articles in Prespacetime and on viXra, as part of his Cyclotron Notebook papers. In brief; the concept is that there is a collection of all possible applicable Math in theory space, which exists in a kind of superposition where reality manifests as a path integral involving condensation of all possible theories that explain certain results. In a way, what is real is determined by the density of various possibilities being a consequence of different theories - all at once - rather than only one theory at a time being true.
Also of note is Paola Zizzi's "Big Wow" theory of Cosmology in a Computing Universe model that involves a massive superposition where what causes particular threads to decohere is a sort of conscious awakening for the universe as a whole. This reasoning is based on the calculation for superposed qubits in the pre-decoupling universe, and comparing that to Penrose's calculation of superpositions in microtubules in the human brain - finding them to be of the same order of magnitude. Zizzi concluded that the universe's "Big Wow" event is what caused our specific universe (and others) to congeal out of the primeval fireball. I'll try to point you to the right papers on arXiv, once I've had a chance to look it up.

Jonathan

Fellow Comrade,
You wrote, "Life , from its origin on, has influenced our planet, the result is now a planet with 7 billion people". Who can argue this? And probably the influence is proportionate to time of existence which means it will continue to expand like elasticity. I hope it will not get to the braking point according to Robert Hook with time! How will this feeding bottle you called earth sustains the population explosion and guarantee the survival of humanity?
It is interesting you wrote about the sun as the source of energy. Let's tell the world to use this energy in proportion to the balance of the 7 billion people inter-relating with other creatures in the universe and the natural habitat.
Your article counts and worth ruminating.

Thank you for writing this essay, Wilhelmus. It is very thought-provoking, and I am especially intrigued by your remarks on the illusion of matter. This tracks closely with my own thinking along these lines. It seems that beyond space and time, matter and energy, there has to be an underlying dimension, without form or substance. Whether it is called consciousness, information, aether, God or anything else, it clearly possesses some organizing force or else there would be chaos. Or perhaps there is chaos, and I am merely suffering from the illusion of the organization of matter. In either event, the promise you offer of a time of heightened consciousness on this planet and in its environs offers hope for the future.

Ajay Bhatla replied on May. 2, 2014 @ 17:35 GMT
Wilhelmus,
Walter Putnam asked my question and it looks like you agree, that the first point of your essay is: There exists another "something" other than the things we think we know well like, in Walter's words: space, time, matter, energy .... You call this other thing 'consciousness' while others have other names for it.
My questions to you are: What is it and Where does this exist? Does it exist in individual "units" or is it something collective (your "Total Being", perhaps)and shared between units?
If it is an individual attribute, then it is likely to exhibit differences? If it is collective, it needs to have a master plan or central thought - is this just human "survival"?
I loved your analogy of humanity being like a "child in a cradle.' Nature, as we see in all varieties of life, encourages the child to leave the cradle and live in the world - this is like your 'child falling out of the cradle' or is it not?
Other than "not to strive for (short) economic profit", what else needs to be communicated to the child so that s/he can do the right thing? What exactly are some attributes of consciousness?
One suggestion for a future version of this essay: provide a list of definitions to guide the reader. I needed this very badly.
Very interesting point on the existence of the 'something else' you call "consciousness".
By the way, I believe that your 'consciousness' is an individual attribute and responsible for all the good and the bad that exists in the world, which has usually had the hand of a specific individual orchestrating voluntary change. My essay
here. I wonder what you think of it.
Thanks,
- Ajay

Dear Ajay,
Imagine every individual surrounded by a sphere where all signals from everywhere are coming in and hit the surface simultaneously. In our causal existence where each location of an individual has a different location on the grid, so each sphere is different from the other. This means that each causal consciousness is receiving different data for his senses, so is from the beginning on creating what we call "individuality" being different from the other...
The original source of any (causal)consciousness is its non causal part in Total Simultaneity. So perhaps there we are ALL "ONE" (GOD?).
The causal part of this ALL Consciousness is imprisoned in what we are calling TIME, where different eternal now moments are lined up to "memory". This implicates "differences" that can be seen as good or bad, just because of the fact that they are different. This duality in our causal life with birth and death is so a result of the causal consciousness being trapped in time.
I will read your essay.

Is this the Wilhelmus that I had the discussion about "What is Nothing" several years ago in the Quantum Physics forum? If so, our discussion spawned my treatise about a method and pathway to control space-time.
My position was that "Nothing" does not exist in an environment coupled with relativity.
Quantum Entangled Singularities
http://qesdunn.pbworks.com
The building of relativity through the model of quantum causality.
Axiom of Choice extended to include Relativity
http://vixra.org/pdf/1402.0041v1.pdf
So the idea of Quantum Consciousness is of interest for me. Consider our short 30,000 years of technological significance and our pathway of growth and our desire to evolve. Now consider the potential of civilizations that are billions of years older technologically then ourselves. The likelihood that they have already done what we propose to do is obvious. So having them be a part of every atom within us is not beyond consideration; i.e. related to quantum entanglements.
Your abstract caught my attention, I will read your essay next.

FQXi Submission:
Graduated Certification for Certification of Common Sense
http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/2045You might find the Princeton University Global Consciousness Project interesting. Since their first and on-going research related to human event based non-random event signatures, researchers have developed an online interferometer coupled with a website interface. The experiment has no push button. The object is to "Will" the outcome of photons related to the interferometer. I have used this experiment. "IF" the data collected is analyzed correctly, there is surprising correlation that intuitively should not be present.
So by what mechanism can this remote manipulation occur?
Since the Princeton University Global Consciousness data shows a response indicating near instantaneous interactions, the tendency is to lean toward quantum entanglement or related quantum relationships.
A sidebar conversation related that potentially everyone's subconscious mind is connected to everyone else. This then accounts for all inconsistent but non-random paranormal activities like telepathy, clairvoyance, ghosts ... Why ghosts cannot in-general be photographed even when seen. They occur as manifestations within our minds.
As such, global consciousness is a form of quantum consciousness. As subconscious influences, our minds are never making decisions isolated from the whole.
In a piece I wrote a couple of years back, I explored the potential for one level of our afterlife to exist within this structure. All our lives if we are connected actively with everyone else, a system of relativity can potentially evolve that does not totally depend upon the personality source. When we die the global consciousness contributions of the individual continue interacting at least in-part at the subconscious level of everyone still living. To me, the Ten Commandments made much more sense from this perspective; the protecting of the soul in an afterlife. If part of your soul is supported by your enemy, would you kill them?
This was a mind map based upon what I was exposed to at the time. As I have been exposed to new relationships, I have not yet found cause to modify the potential of our soul being held in all people's still living.
The Quantum Consciousness you describe may indeed exist as our soul. But keep in mind until experimentally attempted to disprove these relationships, and failing to do so, there is no firm basis for making these assertions.

Dear Wilhelmus,
While appreciating your view of consciousness being the essence of humanity, I beg to differ with you on material as the created reality. Material too is fundamental to the Nature, at par with humanity and consciousness. No material has ever been created, but only transformed. Indeed, nothing, even the human consciousness, won't exist without material.
Any way, I thank you for stirring human minds in a big way on appreciating value of human consciousness.

I totally agree with you that we need to nurture our children with this knowledge of consciousness and love for all which is the essential property of consciousness.

Wilhelmus,
I enjoyed your essay.
Here are some thoughts: I have often wondered whether theories of the multi-verse were liberating or merely throw the determinist web even wider. What good, really is my freedom, if leaving the house results in every possible outcome?
As for the role of consciousness in quantum effects: isn't it really action we are talking about rather than consciousness by itself. Observation isn't passive but a deliberate action. We need to change our consciousness in so far as it influences our actions, but it is our actions that it a sense create the future, even if most of the future's aspects remain unpredictable and we are never sovereign over the shape it will take.
Whatever those differences between us, I heartily agree with your comment on my post:
"It is in my opinion the overall "mentality" that has to change from egoistic short term profit ideas to a long term non-profit sharing our potentiality mentality. The average age of a human being is just 80 yers and that also influences his actions when they are influencing his wellnes during this time, if we would age longer then we would perhaps have more attention for a future that is longer away as those 80 years..."
Thank you for your thought provoking essay, best of luck!

Wilhelmus,
Another fresh and interesting probe of what consciousness is and, maybe, can do in the future. I liked the fascinating concept of a 'new kind of quantum consciousness', and agree that; 'in order to be able to create a 'better' universe... The steering of the future lies in a deeper understanding of our consciousness.'
I'm a great supporter of the concepts of 'the infinite amount of futures' in more than one way, and I found the 'sphere of consciousness' concept interesting. All round another great and original view who, why, where and what we are. Very well done again.

Dear Wilhelmus,
I have just read your Essay.
I find it very nice, here are my comments:
1) I appreciate your abstract statements that "The special place of our planet and the fine-tuning of the physical constants is something we cannot influence but we have to appreciate." and that "Technology needs not to be an Existential Risk". I completely agree with you on these issues.
2) Your idea of a Subjective "Simultaneity Sphere (SSS)" is intriguing.
3) I agree with you that, concerning the present high level of interconnection and communication, "The good part is that we are able to assist our fellow human beings in disasters, the bad thing is that we are becoming more and more dependent on the "system" in the future."
4) I agree with your statement that "To clean the cradle we have to change our mentality and unite our efforts, also in order to fulfill the future needs needs .", but, sadly, I think that people is too much ignorant and egoist to do this.
5) I appreciate your recalling the anthropic principle. In fact, I am a strong endorser of it.
6) I agree with your statement that "as we are on the right place on the right moment in the right cradle, we are lucky!" Here I add Einstein's sentence that "The most incomprehensible thing ... It's like, why are we able to understand the universe at our level?"
7) Your answer to the fundamental question "Are we in control of our reality ?" is "Our consciousness is THE essential "tool" in creating the causal reality that we are aware of" is a version of the strong anthropic principle.
8) I think that your statement on the "non-causal/causal connection" is similar to the statement in Hawking's last paper "That is unitary, but chaotic, so there is effective information loss."
9) Has your proposing ONE field for all baryonic matter something to do with the Higgs fileld?
10) Your idea that "entering" in this way new dimension(s) that may reside behind the Wall of Planck" recalls me the quest for a deterministic quantum mechanics. I retrieve this issue in your conclusions when you claim that "In this Matter-Field illusion quantum physics is showing us already the first indications of non-materialistic reality, "real" objects merge to thingness and further abstraction."
I enjoyed in reading your work. Thus, I am going to give you an high score.
Cheers,
Ch.

Hello Mr. de Wilde,
I read your submission and I want you to read mine. I like you to mention Gottlieb Wilhelm Leibnitz. Leibnitz is a sort of my childhood‘s hero. I think about myself as a follower of Leibnitz. I am pleased to know that people read Leibnitz.
In my essay I write about the imagining, analogous imagining and how people think. You may find it interesting. The essay is a part of the collection of the futuristic essays, including one essay concerning the design of the physical world.
You may look at
my entry about imagining the future. I hope
my essay will encourage you to learn more about ways of knowing and to apply analogous imagining in your field of interests.

Dear John, we are a soulmate of consciousness. You and I are one in the Spock's mind-meld. Our souls are entangled somehow and somewhat.
Yes indeed and I quote you: "The total amount of energy the earth is receiving each day from the sun is 174 PETAWATT (1015 Watt)!!! This divided by the 7 billion habitants , gives an income per habitant of 102.000.000 watts per day !!! .... So actually nobody needs to be poor." Yes, we are rich beyond belief and we are living in Leibniz's best possible world.
Yes, we are entering into a new phase of an economic system powered by KQID that I called as the Scientific Outlook Free-Lunch economic System. You wrote powerfully and yet logically: "The best “technology” to achieve these ideals is taking care of our children and educate them not to strive for (short) economic profit but to strive for the growth of their own consciousness, so that every other individual can share in its findings. Communication is already becoming common sense. Science should be admissible for everyone. Skype (free of charge communication so attainable for all) and Wikipedia (free knowledge available to all) are good examples of the directions we have to explore our united force with the respect of individuality."
You also wrote: "Throw ALL information of ALL the universes that constitute the multi-verse together in one basket (also the ones that in our perception are impossible universes with different fundamental constants) and stir it up to one non-causal unity (yes it seems like chaos). In this way we have created a flaw imagination of “Total Simultaneity” (TS). (11) In this basket there are no “material realities” but “availabilities”. Availabilities of ALL information. Imagine all the slices of all block-universes together but not as realized lined-up causal realities. These slices could furthermore be imagined as two-dimensional holographic representations of a three-dimensional universe. But how do we experience reality ? What is the entity that enables Time and Space ? Are we in control of our reality ?
Answer : Our consciousness is THE essential “tool” in creating the causal reality that we are aware of .We argue that our consciousness is a constituted of two entangled parts: the causal part and the non-causal part. Causal consciousness stretches out into the basket of Total Simultaneity where it becomes non-causal, this “non-causal/causal connection” can be imagined as entanglement-like and timeless. In this basket of Total Simultaneity our non-causal consciousness has the choice between the infinity of availabilities of slices of universes, and each slice is the center of possible time/life line that stretches out from the past and into a future,"
Wonderful essay too far ahead of its time, that is why most people are behind in their consciousness. We need Total Simultaneity in your conception and in mine it is our Ancestor FAPAMA Singularity Qbit (00, +, -) that contains all that is.
Thanks you and I rated you a ten (10) in this contest.
Good luck and best wishes,
Leo KoGuan

Thanks for another enlightening essay.
By the way, I never realized the phrase "Everything is best in this best of all possible worlds" was given by Leibniz. I always assumed it was a phrase that Voltaire gave to Dr. Pangloss in Candide.

Just a thought, have you ever thought of injecting a little humor in the subject of quantum consciousness. The name quantum consciousness is just too ponderous. This is just a fantasy... but I would love to see you collaborate with someone like Mel Brooks on "Consciousness for Dummies". I think it could be a very subversive best seller...

Dear Wilhelmus!
I welcome your well-considered essay and several of posts you put on other participants' page. Albeit I haven't concern about the competition (see my end-notes) I rated your essay high, because it has many foundational thoughts.
There are many views of yours which fall together with mine, which I exerted in
my essay, and some of my longer comments also put here to better unfold the meanings of my messages.(see links to my comments)
1. I especially like, you are a brave one who dare to say exactly phrasing - We are our God(s) having an utmost capability to create our own realities by conciousness, thus we have the potential to steer our life course -.
2. I also deeply appreciate your dictum: "DELETE the word “Property” and replace it for “Responsibility".
3. I think, we need to further elaborate on:
What would the LIVING IN a Total Simultaneity mean in the context of non-causality, reincarnation (= until it has been an unscientific term, - but the contemporary string and M-theory may be near to describe it -, for one's, ones' experiences, memories as a consciousness imprints having folded and recorded into subtle energy light bodies, and how the fabric of Time and Space, Space and Time frameworks created truly for being been not only a holographic representation of several of 3D alternative realities as probabilities patterns, but factually arranged ones too into physical/genetically coded bodies, who think probably for answering to themselves: What and how to control our reality creation, what is desirable to steer.)
and being fully aware of what we should do, how to decide in the Right NOW MOMENT, so the created Technologies by us basically for our well-being there not be an Existential Risk! In a nut shell in my essay: I distinguish two states about the 'Reality'. I suppose there is an 'Original reality' as an unconditionally given existence, may be called 'Natural order of things'. This reality contains the stratum of all living being both material (crystals, plants, animals) also non-material kinds may be called energy, information, consciousness, thoughts etc. At the apex of existence, I suppose there is an - original naturally arranged and cosmic Man- theologians label GOD-Man. WHO is composed of all both material and non-material inside and outside of his environment. This Man as the sum total of originally not created Nature can live his life either he knows about how all inside and outside him should work. This state may be called the - non-causality - going on its own course (Herakleitus), a non intentionally steered evolution. However, owing to this Man also has an unconditionally given inherent capability for thinking, so he is always propelled to know about his inner and outer environment. That is the phase of his self-recognition(Hegel). The latter - we should call CREATION - during which one would make simulations separately running from his natural living, somehow both may be synchronized, even one can research himself with real-time. The everlasting questions is - what to do with the knowledge one gains during his self scrutiny I supposed, and suggested a model how one (on solipsistic simulation way) could do researches with very himself, and how else ones might be involved unintentionally. Even, I gave a kind of else simulation technology where a team might be involved. I pointed out those simulation technologies 'not necessarily based on contemporary computer technology', and of what basics for our present us is not yet completely apprehended, but our recent technologies should exceed the original conception.
4. Due to I strongly suppose the supremacy of NATURE is, because it exists unconditionally, thus it is not a CREATED one by any means (either GOD/GODs, or by us)! Furthermore, it unconditionally contains all information at every field of stratum involving both the subtle energies fields attributed to consciousness and materially arranged matter. Thus, I think probably you are wrong in that statement that the Original material reality is an illusion. However that may be a goal to couple with a causally created holographic(illusionary perceived material reality). As far as, I can guess the meaning of contemporary best cyclic 'The Steinhardt-Turok model' tries to describe it. (as per wikipedia explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_Model: In this cyclic model, two parallel orbifold planes or M-branes collide periodically in a higher dimensional space.[8] The (My addition: HOLOGRAPHYCALLY) visible four-dimensional universe lies on one of these branes. The collisions correspond to a reversal from contraction to expansion, or a big crunch followed immediately by a big bang.)
5. My message is: What a new step in our understanding may be - This GOD-Man comprises the advanced humanity as a WHOLE UNITY of a complex organism in his every living state in the NO time and NO SPACE = RIGHT NOW, and inherently IMMORTAL, because never created and unconditionally exists! We need not to overcome this supremacy what basically unconditionally encoded in the NATURE, in our nature and in our original genetic make up!
6. We can create Technologies, however it is desirable to do basically for our well-being.
End-notes:
I've not a concern of the competition! I participated here to speak at first time during my last 25 yrs. tremendous working behind the scenes, because I wished to disseminate essential information to those who were seriously working on to repair faults taken in our past and even our far or near future we should have commited that, but with a worse outcome.
My only hope truly, the eventual decision making process behind all of this discussion of a very crucial theme at the point in the possible right NOW MOMENT for getting a satisfactory grant for a proper project goal will be for our best mutual interest, keeping humanity on the right steps avoiding a worst cataclysmic event (some times probably that have already happened)
All the best for you and all of us.

Hi Wilhelmus,
As promised, in response to your reminder on my page, I'm commenting on your essay before any others, as there has already been a considerable delay.
I like that you include a wide range of interesting topics, but I was looking for something I have not found (maybe you can help). I was looking for the main thing your essay advocates that we should focus our efforts upon in order to improve the world. Yes, it suggests that we should "educate... [our children] not to strive for (short) economic profit but to strive for the growth of their own consciousness."
I certainly agree with that statement, but for that to have been the whole point of an essay which mentions so many other things would be puzzling to me. (As you know, of course, many parents have been educating their children in just that way since the '60s, under the motto, "be you, and follow your dreams.") Unfortunately, what we teach our children and what the world forces upon them when they leave the nest are often at cross purposes, especially when it comes to survival and material desires. I think we need something more powerful than a change in educational tactics to noticeably alter our course as a species toward a more fruitful direction. Please inform me if I have missed the main point of your essay, it is possible that I may have missed it.
With that being said, I have faithfully rated your essay according to the rating system I advocate, so the rating I gave was higher than what you had previously.
Warmly,
Aaron

Hi Wilhelmus,
I've replied to you on my own page, but I think we should have our actual conversation here. I wrote above, "for that to have been the whole point of an essay which mentions so many other things would be puzzling to me." So I was not indicating that I believe that teaching our children in a certain way was the whole point of your essay, I was saying that it seems to me that that could not have been its whole point. Maybe I should have been clearer about that.
Essentially, what I was portraying is that I could not easily find its point. The conclusion section is where an author generally puts that sort of information. While I did read your whole paper, I was seeking its main point in the conclusion.
If you were to write a conclusion to your paper to only sum up its point, what would that conclusion look like? May I request that you write that as a response?

I also defend quantum consciousness (QC). This is evident in
the old essay. We both gave essays, but we did not read each other. You wrote: "
The steering of our future lies in a deeper understanding of our consciousness". You will see that my new essay gives the same message.
Probably I have a little different approach to QC as you. My principle is panpsichism, but yours is causal and non-causal part ...
Do you know that the newest news is, that quantum biology
is proved. Maybe quantum consciousness will also be.
You gave some good links. It is a problem with such amateur theories that rarely one read and comment them. I read yours, I hope the you will read mine. Who still advocates quantum consciousness on this contest?

Dear Wilhelmus,
I am impressed with your attempts to relate the very most cutting-edge physical theorizing with the ultimate questions of mind and the basis of reality, reminiscent yet bolder than as explored e.g. by Roger Penrose and John Wheeler (I note similarities to the latter's conscious self-creating "participatory universe" loop idea, often symbolized by the picture of the eye looking at the end of its own optic nerve. (See for example at
Your Life is a Game.) I note you share Sir Roger's and my interest in microtubules and quantum processes being important to how the brain expresses consciousness.
You clearly think that matter and mind are a unified entity instead of set apart, yet not by the shallow method of reductionistic crunching of mind into arid AI protocols. This is a difficult task even to get a handle on and even more difficult to test, but people need to be at least thinking about it and asking questions - whether I am yet be convinced of your particular ideas and claims on this.
I agree with you on the issue addressed below - at least where perception and basic experience are concerned - although not for quite the same reasons (briefly, our experiences are "qualitative" in a way going beyond even extending from stark 0/1-black/white binary to a "gray" scale, note for example of course, our perceptual experience of colors! Yes, that could be considered as an analogy but color
perception is actually quite pertinent to the issue.) I quote from your essay:
"Consciousness/Intelligence can not be realized just by black and white thinking and by creating machines that are working on algorithm's . An "algorithm" indicates a step-by-step operation, beginning with an initial state and input, followed by instructions describing the computations to realize, till an output is reached. Each step in this process is always between two extremes (in computation for example zero and one), the infinite tones of gray are not involved. This is the reason why [neither] intelligence nor consciousness can emerge from this process."
Readers may be interested in parallels in my own
essay, giving a different argument for why our minds can't just be computational, as well as support for some kind of free will (global directedness.)
Well, there is just way too much for me to dwell on and I wish you luck as I bounce around the essays, so many good ones drawing me this way and that. Cheers.

Hello Wilhelmus,
I enjoyed your essay very much but am myself on the fence when it comes to the role of consciousness in the universe. I am suspicious of us projecting our own unique subjectivity onto the whole of existence. Though, I do think it can be said that a universe without some form of life within it to provide "feedback" can in someway be said to not exist at all.
The question of why there is something rather than nothing I find a fascinating one as I do the question of whether we exist in the best of all possible worlds.
I'd be interested in your thoughts on a post I recently wrote on that subject:
