A Landscape of Consciousness

Sefray

I have some speculative ideas about free will.
Brian Keating recently posted on his YT and X clips and questions about free will and Sam Harris view on it.
I need much to learn still and was too lazy to compile a proper rebuttal by citing all science and structured ideas, so made quick poem instead. Got into poetry recently, just expressing inspiration, don't know how it all works.

Water turns the wheel
Like energy ignites the will
Water wheels built different, that is true
But how to direct the flow - is always up to you

Towards bad
Makes Satan glad
Want the good?
Please Heaven's Father's mood

Coin flips end up in 50/50 stance
If not aware - it's up to random chance
You have to know what is really real
But lean towards and pray to the ideal
Don't go too far or you will break it hard
And you'll play your soul by the evil card

Force is a potential for change
Feel free to make it fair exchange

Do not get lost alone
Don't blindly follow the blind
Path is in balance shown
Approach it with clear mind
Look up and seek and truth will speak
It'll find you and you'll find it

Dear Steve Dufourny,

I hope this message finds you well. I am Ahmed Amer Abdulaziz Abdullah, the independent researcher from Yemen with whom you exchanged thoughts on FQXi regarding the First Void Theory and the nature of consciousness before matter.

I remember your words clearly: "Consciousness before matter. Honored to meet you." That exchange meant a great deal to me.

I am currently applying to the IIE-SRF (Institute of International Education – Scholar Rescue Fund), a fellowship that supports at-risk scholars who cannot continue their academic work in their home country. Yemen's ongoing conflict makes it impossible for me to develop or discuss this research freely.

The application requires reference letters from individuals who have engaged with my work. Given our exchange on FQXi, I would be deeply honored if you would consider writing a brief letter of support — speaking to your impression of my research and the ideas we discussed.

For reference, my published work:
DOI (FVT): https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18344593
DOI (Consciousness): https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20386537
DOI (Latest): https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20469942

The letter can be sent directly to: srf@iie.org

With sincere respect,
Ahmed Amer Abdulaziz Abdullah
