Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to interpret the nature of reality as it is concurrently described by quantum physics, but its concern is that which cannot be described with physics or mathematics, it is about the first fraction of a second after the big bang when all physics and mathematics breaks down, a big bang that was not a onetime occurrence but is rather an ongoing activity, it is about the Planck length and Planck time where no measurements can be taken, no observations can be made and deductive reasoning and subconscious awareness is our only means of understanding. It is about the dual nature of reality described in Quantum Physics and interpreted by Theology. It attempts to define how the finite and infinite combine to complete the purpose of the Absolute Reality of the Singularity. It attempts to describe the nature of reality as a mosaic in which all the concepts fit together to form an Absolute Reality that has meaning and that has purpose, where God is not an abstract principle or a separate being but is rather an integral part of the nature of Physics which is the nature of God. It attempts to explain the concepts that have been demonstrated by scientific experimentation in a way to match these observations with that which we have previously assigned to theology and God. All incorporated as the nature of existence and as such integral parts of Quantum Physics and Theology. Physics is the study of the nature of our spacetime; however, Quantum Physics describes limits beyond which our science and math have no meaning. The physics of spacetime is related to the physics of the finite. While our physics can only describe with certainty the nature of spacetime extrapolations can be made as to the nature of the quantum wave as it exists in the infinite Singularity. God cannot be separated from the physics for He is the Physics. He is the nature and purpose of reality. The dual nature of the universe demonstrated in quantum physics describes spacetime as a projection of the quantum probability wave. With the actualization of the probability wave into spacetime all that we know is created. How is this spacetime created? How does the creation of spacetime form the attributes of this universe? These are the questions Quantum Physic attempts to answer, but more importantly; what is the purpose of spacetime? and what is the function of conscious beings within that purpose? That question has been regulated to philosophy and theology, but the answers are demonstrated in physics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant philosophical texts by W.W. Atkinson, Mastery of Being: A Study of the Ultimate Principle of Reality and the Practical Application Thereof breaks into three parts the principles of reality, including atoms, the spirit, and physical manifestation. He uses theories and popularly accepted ideology to prove that reality is true, and uses his ideology to describe how we can apply reality to life, and become "masters of being." American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.

Download or read book Light of Consciousness written by Martin Odudukudu and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-07-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary Light of Consciousness Metaphysics is a controversial subject because its concepts are not the same as and do not follow the same process of thinking as in other subjects. to think metaphysically, one must thinks out of the box; one must think independently of object and objective experiences, and this has to be learned. In metaphysics, one separates experiences due to objects from experiences occurring independently of objects. Such thinking is unusual, different from everyday thinking processes. Otherwise, one does not, for example, separate characterization one ascribes to God (or absolute intelligence) from ground of such characterization. Empiricists often insist that there is no such thing as an experience independent of an object; yet they do not explain the objects if any that one perceives, conceive and represents as corresponding to experiences of time, space, self consciousness, and so on. In Critic of Pure Reason, Kant (1781-1787) sees nature as subject to necessary law. These laws, Kant would say are accessible to us because cognition of these laws depends on the subject of thinking who characterizes its perceptions of nature according to rules. Thinking and characterizing; the problem that arises from this way of framing subjective and objective relationship is answering the question, what and how must the subject be in order to operate as a part of or apart from nature and still be said to determine it? Kant's answer to this dilemma is to split nature into sensuous (objects) and intelligible (things as they are in themselves) realm; however, he does not explain how the intelligible connects with the objective realm independent of thinking; that is, how one, an object, can determines an object. In view of these problems, Light of Consciousness is intended to achieve two main goals; (1) in chapterone, we attempt to point out the cognition with its elements in virtue of which Metaphysics may also ascend its throne as a legitimate subject matter. Here, just as cognition of external object is cognition of objective relations or physics, the object of cognition in metaphysics consist of objects of inner sense of which a subject of inner sense has been repeatedly identified as the aspect of inner sense saddled with the task of thinking, and therefore not objective. However, the controversy in Metaphysics is that a subject of inner sense is objective or empirical; therefore, to say that without experience there is no self. Light of Consciousness is intended to address these problem not by merely laying claims to its existence, but also by pointing out its instances of and in occurrence. In the other chapters of the book, we seek to point out some of the important topics of metaphysics, and to show how these topics help to further simply the subject matter. We describe these various aspects of the subject matter of metaphysics and their various elements and how these relate to self. We attempt to show that the operation of standing away from thinking is a real activity unique to the human being. In the chapter of time and space, we attempt to explicate its constituents as they relate to self. In the chapter on Monad, we went further to establish the natures of primary elements of nature, by explicating a process of development of pure and objective consciousness and their processes. Finally, in the chapters on consciousness and thought, we attempt to describe and explicate elements, constitution and process of operations of pure and objective consciousness. Here, we explain what consciousness is, what it consists of. Most important, we attempt to identify the nature of a consciousness in virtue of which one determine a representation of time and space, and to differentiate this from a consciousness in virtue of which one determines and represents an object in time and space.

Download or read book Unified Reality Theory written by Steven Kaufman and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2015-12-04 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Unified Reality Theory demonstrates that the source of reality is a universal consciousness, and that we are in no way separable from that source, and so in no way truly separable from each other or any other aspect of reality. I recommend this book to anyone interested in understanding the nature of reality and their place in it.” —Deepak Chopra Unified Reality Theory describes how all reality evolves from an absolute existence. It also demonstrates that this absolute existence must have consciousness as an attribute that’s intrinsic to its being. Thus, Unified Reality Theory shows that consciousness, rather than being a product of the evolution of physical reality, is itself the source of what we experience as physical reality, and that physical reality is itself but one aspect of an evolving universal consciousness. Unified Reality Theory shows that, most fundamentally, this absolute consciousness-existence evolves into reality by means of a single process: self-relation. That is, consciousness-existence becomes reality by forming relationships with itself, analogous in a very limited way to what happens to a rubber band that’s twisted upon itself, i.e., it remains whole while differentiating into other forms. Thus, Unified Reality Theory demonstrates that reality is a state of existential self-relation. The idea that the universe consists of existence which has formed relationships with itself isn’t new; Taoists have understood this idea for at least a couple of thousand years. What’s new here is the presentation of this idea in the form of a detailed and defined structural model that correlates with the behavior of physical reality as described by science in general and physics in particular. Ultimately, Unified Reality Theory uses science and logic to make the case that God exists, as a pervasive and absolute consciousness that transcends the realities of space and time, and that we, as well as everything else, are that!

Download or read book Mind And Reality The Space time Window written by Wolfram Schommers and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between mind and reality is usually perceived as an event that takes place in reality and producing simultaneously an internal image in the mind. So it takes place twice, so to speak, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the two events. Within this conception, matter is embedded in space and time, and can be designated as “container-principle”. This monograph emphasizes that the well-known philosopher Immanuel Kant denied this principle and he stated that reality is principally not recognizable to a human being, and modern biological evolution seems to lead exactly to Kant's point of view. Within the theory of evolution, man's image about reality in mind does not have to be complete and true in the sense of a precise reproduction, and it is relatively easy to recognize that even space and time should not be elements of reality outside. Within this conception, only a certain part of reality, which the human being needs for mastering life, is projected onto space and time, and we come to the so-called “projection principle”. Then, spacetime defines the window to reality, leading to a number of exciting and essential questions, some of which are discussed in this monograph.As is known, current physics is mainly based on the container-principle. But this monograph proposes that the projection principle is obviously more suitable and could help to solve open-ended questions as, for example, in connection with the nature of time, the particle-wave duality, the cosmological constant, etc. Regarding the statistical behavior of matter, Einstein's statement “God does not play dice” has to be seen in a new light, but also Feynman's general viewpoint on quantum theory that it cannot be understood by man. However, conventional quantum theory is obviously not a consistent framework as per the projection principle. The term “world equation” is critically probed in this monograph.

Download or read book Discovery of Reality written by George Luke and published by Partridge Publishing India. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the reality or fundamental stuff of the universe? With regard to this age-old question, in Western philosophy, there are six worldviews under the main groups called organic worldview, spiritual process worldview, mechanistic worldview, and physical process worldview. These worldviews would logically lead to seven theories of reality (ultimate reality). This innovative framework can give the basic classification of the entire range of diverse philosophical doctrines, including idealism, materialism, and mysticism. An intellectual and secular analysis of the separate streams of philosophy--denoting them together as monistic philosophy--covers the major part of this book. Then, for solving the above controversies, this author discovers system philosophy with the key principle: Ultimate reality is the system of opposite forces called body and consciousness, which are represented by x-axis and y-axis, respectively, of coordinate geometry. Then reality is like a factory, producing worldly things as systems of those opposite components. The final part of this book establishes the existence of seven social systems at the global level into which human life is divided. In this way, we can reconcile the issues of knowledge and truth pertaining to various branches of natural science and social science as well as religion.

Download or read book The Romance of Reality written by Bobby Azarian and published by BenBella Books. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we exist? For centuries, this question was the sole province of religion and philosophy. But now science is ready to take a seat at the table. According to the prevailing scientific paradigm, the universe tends toward randomness; it functions according to laws without purpose, and the emergence of life is an accident devoid of meaning. But this bleak interpretation of nature is currently being challenged by cutting-edge findings at the intersection of physics, biology, neuroscience, and information theory—generally referred to as “complexity science.” Thanks to a new understanding of evolution, as well as recent advances in our understanding of the phenomenon known as emergence, a new cosmic narrative is taking shape: Nature’s simplest “parts” come together to form ever-greater “wholes” in a process that has no end in sight. In The Romance of Reality, cognitive neuroscientist Bobby Azarian explains the science behind this new view of reality and explores what it means for all of us. In engaging, accessible prose, Azarian outlines the fundamental misunderstanding of thermodynamics at the heart of the old assumptions about the universe’s evolution, and shows us the evidence that suggests that the universe is a “self-organizing” system, one that is moving toward increasing complexity and awareness. Cosmologist and science communicator Carl Sagan once said of humanity that “we are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” The Romance of Reality shows that this poetic statement in fact rests on a scientific foundation and gives us a new way to know the cosmos, along with a riveting vision of life that imbues existence with meaning—nothing supernatural required.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a fascinating voyage beyond the currents of the mainstream in this earnest attempt to engage with the most fundamental question there is: what is the nature of reality? Existence and Consciousness presents us with a world without space, a world that consists only of information, consciousness, and time. It offers a theory of idealism from an existentialist's perspective. Matter, energy, and space are viewed as holding on to no existence outside of their essence (i.e., their defining properties). This is what precludes them from objectively persisting in time. Only consciousness, broken down into its smallest units, is capable of existing beyond its essence. This is what makes it a necessary constituent of reality, for without it the world would be merely an abstraction.

This book was released on 2002-06-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paperback version of the 2002 paper published in the journal Progress in Information, Complexity, and Design (PCID). ABSTRACT Inasmuch as science is observational or perceptual in nature, the goal of providing a scientific model and mechanism for the evolution of complex systems ultimately requires a supporting theory of reality of which perception itself is the model (or theory-to-universe mapping). Where information is the abstract currency of perception, such a theory must incorporate the theory of information while extending the information concept to incorporate reflexive self-processing in order to achieve an intrinsic (self-contained) description of reality. This extension is associated with a limiting formulation of model theory identifying mental and physical reality, resulting in a reflexively self-generating, self-modeling theory of reality identical to its universe on the syntactic level. By the nature of its derivation, this theory, the Cognitive Theoretic Model of the Universe or CTMU, can be regarded as a supertautological reality-theoretic extension of logic. Uniting the theory of reality with an advanced form of computational language theory, the CTMU describes reality as a Self Configuring Self-Processing Language or SCSPL, a reflexive intrinsic language characterized not only by self-reference and recursive self-definition, but full self-configuration and self-execution (reflexive read-write functionality). SCSPL reality embodies a dual-aspect monism consisting of infocognition, self-transducing information residing in self-recognizing SCSPL elements called syntactic operators. The CTMU identifies itself with the structure of these operators and thus with the distributive syntax of its self-modeling SCSPL universe, including the reflexive grammar by which the universe refines itself from unbound telesis or UBT, a primordial realm of infocognitive potential free of informational constraint. Under the guidance of a limiting (intrinsic) form of anthropic principle called the Telic Principle, SCSPL evolves by telic recursion, jointly configuring syntax and state while maximizing a generalized self-selection parameter and adjusting on the fly to freely-changing internal conditions. SCSPL relates space, time and object by means of conspansive duality and conspansion, an SCSPL-grammatical process featuring an alternation between dual phases of existence associated with design and actualization and related to the familiar wave-particle duality of quantum mechanics. By distributing the design phase of reality over the actualization phase, conspansive spacetime also provides a distributed mechanism for Intelligent Design, adjoining to the restrictive principle of natural selection a basic means of generating information and complexity. Addressing physical evolution on not only the biological but cosmic level, the CTMU addresses the most evident deficiencies and paradoxes associated with conventional discrete and continuum models of reality, including temporal directionality and accelerating cosmic expansion, while preserving virtually all of the major benefits of current scientific and mathematical paradigms.
