Steering the Future of Consciousness? by Wilhelmus de Wilde

Dear Wilhelmus,

I enjoyed reading your essay.

Although consciousness is an abstractive concept....I believe that I have made a physical connection of the processes involved. The paper in the following link gives such connection.

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.

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.

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.

You 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.

Dear Will,

I love your essays and the depth and knowledge of consciousness you share in them and as you know I consider you as my alter ego and I know that you feel the same way too. 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. Internet is the best medium to achieve this level of communication of free unlimited knowledge about all aspects of life and hence I chose to create a website that would provide information to all those who seek it in a easier way.

Please see Any Body Can Do - Everything For Good which is a custom category search engine and a portal of portals.

I have also blogged about the consciousness and included several videos on that topic in the everything section of the site. This is my way of contributing to the world of a tool to assist our children to gain the awareness for a better future on this planet in this duality of existence.

Love,

Sridattadev.

Very happy to see you - Dear Author Wilhelmus de Wilde

(I change of to call like this to better suit all ages)

I would love your warning be for future: an over-reliance on the Artificial utility as:

"Without electricity and computers mankind will now become in a chaotic status"

Best wishes with the highest score for the passion and enthusiasm of you

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.

You are welcome to share the link to my essay with your correspondents

Please disregard any typo mistakes you may encounter.

Warm cheers,

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,

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,
