The whole world is in consciousness. The world inside consciousness. Man as a manifestation of personality
When you sleep, it seems to you that you are the person you see yourself in your dream. But in fact, you are consciousness and your dream world exists inside you. In the same way, right now it seems to you that you are a person in this dream life, but in reality you are consciousness and the dream life exists within you.
Let's watch...
Right now you perceive your thoughts and feel the world.
Do you agree?
We usually think that our thoughts exist within consciousness, and the world exists independently of consciousness. Do you think this is true?
If you pay attention to what is happening right now, you will see that you experience the world as a series of sensations: visual images, tactile sensations, background sounds, environmental smells.
And all these sensations exist inside consciousness, don't they?
Everything you experience exists within your consciousness, otherwise you would not be aware of it.
So what is consciousness?
Consciousness is not something that is contained in your experience. It is the emptiness that contains everything you experience.
That's true, isn't it?
Become aware of yourself in this spacious emptiness, within which everything that you are experiencing at the moment exists.
These printed words that you read on this page exist within the mind.
These ideas that sound in your mind exist in consciousness.
Everything you see, hear, touch and imagine exists in the mind.
Your body exists in consciousness.
The world exists in consciousness.
It may seem to you that you are a physical body in this world, but in fact you are consciousness, and this world exists inside you.
If this shocks you, there's more to it.
You don't exist in time.
Look at yourself right now.
Time is an eternal stream of constantly changing phenomena that consciousness observes.
Time exists within consciousness.
Consciousness is outside of time.
You are the eternal consciousness that sees itself as a person in time.
Are you still suffering from philosophical vertigo?

We will follow how philosophers step by step came to the idea that the world exists in our minds. We started with the Eliades and went to Berkeley, who took the idea to the extreme. Then the process went backwards - Hume admitted that the world exists not only in consciousness, and the next one, Kant, already admitted the existence of another world, but the other world is no longer at all like the world for us. There has come a need for a term for things that exist in our minds. It was necessary to take only the content of consciousness, abstracting from the subjective form. The decisive step was taken by Kant, who introduced the term “thing in itself.” Then Hegel, who introduced the term “thing for us.” Well, then Engels and Lenin followed, who actively used these terms. The need arose to name the totality of all things in themselves. The first to use these terms was Feuerbach, who called it “the world in itself.” Not just a thing in itself, but a world in itself - in general, all objectively existing things. Then the need arose for the term “world for us” - the world as it exists in our minds. These terms went beyond Kantian philosophy. These are important terms of any modern theory of knowledge. When it became clear that the world exists in our minds, it became clear what is knowledge - to have knowledge of a thing means to have it in consciousness. Cognition is the presence of a thing in consciousness. This position is held by all philosophers, regardless of orientation, materialists, idealists, dualists...
But we don’t just have ready-made knowledge, we receive it. This begs the question: where do they come from? This is the question of what knowledge is as a process. In order to understand this problem, we need to understand another issue. The fact that the world exists in consciousness is indisputable. But does it exist outside of consciousness? And until we answer this question, we cannot answer the question of knowledge.
Basic solutions to the question of the existence of the world and outside consciousness
- The first answer is that there is no world, the world exists only in consciousness. This is Berkeley's answer, subjective idealism. To be is to be perceived.
- The second answer is that agnostics and phenomenalists, whether the world exists outside consciousness or not is absolutely indecisive.
The third answer is that the world exists not only in consciousness, but also outside consciousness. But this third answer breaks down into two different answers, Kantianism and materialism. But behind this similarity lies a huge difference.
Two basic solutions to the question of the relationship between the thing in itself and the thing for us
Let's draw different points of view:
- Berkeley. Draws a circle on the board - peace for us. Apart from him, there is nothing else and cannot be.
- Hume. Draws a circle - peace for us. It is not clear what is outside, whether there is anything there or not; we cannot look beyond the boundary of the circle. So the outside draws a lot of question marks - there may be things in themselves there, but they may not be there.
- Kant. For Kant, things undoubtedly exist in consciousness. Draws a circle - peace for us. But also, in addition to the world in consciousness, there is also a world outside consciousness. “The world in itself” and “the world for us” are separated by an impenetrable wall. Things in themselves cannot enter the world for us and vice versa. A thing is for us, it is only for us. On the other side the world is transcendental. What is the difference from materialists? Let's try to depict the point of view of materialists.
Materialists. Although materialists recognize the world in consciousness, they must begin with the world in itself. This world is infinite - infinite in time and space, the objective world of the Universe (draws a semicircle). To understand the relationship between the world in ourselves and the world for us and to depict the world for us, let’s conduct an experiment. >You see a piece of chalk. Let me put it behind my back. You don't perceive it. He is a thing in himself. Now I got it, and you see it, it has become the content of your consciousness, it has become a thing for us. Now the question is, has it remained a thing in itself? He became at the same time a thing for us and a thing in itself; it ceased to be a thing in itself and did not cease. The concept of “being” outside consciousness has two meanings - simply to be, to exist, and the second - to be unknown. From this it is clear that the concept of “thing in itself” has two meanings - simply an objective thing, the second is an unknown objective thing. But a thing in consciousness also has two meanings. The first is to exist only in consciousness, and the second is to be an objectively known thing, i.e. exist both in consciousness and outside consciousness. Kant has only one thing for us - only in consciousness, but for the materialist both. There are things only in the mind - angels, devils, goblin. However, some things for us can turn into things in themselves; this is human activity - the “drawing” turns into a product. Thus, not only things in themselves turn into things for us, but things for us turn into things in themselves. Draws something on the board that cannot be explained. We take a step forward, we learn, and the world grows for us, closer and closer to the world within ourselves. There are things that exist only in the mind and have nothing to do with the outside world.
The problem of understanding the process of cognition
From the point of view of materialists, cognition is the process of transforming things in themselves into things for us, in which things in themselves cease to be things in themselves and remain things in themselves. The world in itself turns into a world for us. But what about idealists who do not recognize things in themselves? From Kant’s point of view, we ourselves create the world from the chaos of sensations, with the help of categories we put it all in place. By the way, this makes a lot of sense; we don’t just look at the world - we think. Another thing is that he wants to create a world for us, but he doesn’t want to accept that we create the world within ourselves. What about subjective idealists? After all, to know is to have in consciousness, but since all things are already in our consciousness, then everything is already known and there is no and cannot be a process of knowledge. But he's coming! Berkeley has to turn around. Where do things come from and where do they go? And his point of view, they do not disappear anywhere, things continue to exist, but in the consciousness of other thinking spirits. And then there is God, who puts in and puts out information about things. It’s easier for agnostics - we don’t know and we can and don’t want to know. They not only deny the possibility of recognizing the essence of the world, not only deny the possibility of penetrating the circle of consciousness, but also deny the possibility of revealing the nature of knowledge itself.
The following question arises. From Hume's point of view, we cannot know whether things exist in themselves. What does it mean to know about a thing? Have it in your mind. What does it mean to know about a thing outside of consciousness? To know about something about which we obviously know nothing. From the point of view of formal logic, this is irrefutable. So it’s impossible to prove that the world exists at all? Let's look at this issue in the next section.
Is it possible to prove the existence of a world outside consciousness?
From Hume's point of view it is impossible. And from the point of view of formal logic, Hume is irrefutable. But the formal-logical type of evidence is not the only type of evidence; there are also other types of thinking, where there are other methods of evidence. For example, no theory is ever logically deduced from facts. But this does not mean that this theory is incorrect; it can be confirmed in other ways. There are many types of evidence, one of them is practical activity. We transform the world as we need based on knowledge about it. This means that the world exists independently of our consciousness. > Let's turn to the history of mankind. When did people appear? There are two points of view here - some say that 2.5 million years ago, others - that 1.8 million. Then consciousness began to arise. Everything began to emerge. Consciousness finally emerged 40,000 years ago. The question is, was there a world before this? What about the Universe? The Big Bang happened 12 billion years ago. It was, and where it was was outside of consciousness. Or simpler. The electron was discovered in 1897. Did Aristotle have electrons? There were, and then they entered consciousness, that is, they became things for us. Uranus was calculated theoretically because discrepancies were found with the EVT for other planets. Having calculated, they calculated the mass and indicated the coordinates where it should be looked for. And then they discovered Pluto. So the question is, did these planets exist or not before man discovered them? Science thereby confirms that there is a world outside consciousness and is entering more and more into consciousness. Means the world is things in themselves that step by step enter the world for us. The evolution of analytical philosophy is connected with this. There is such a variety of it - neopositivism, which has always declared itself a philosophy of science, which should cognize the picture of scientific knowledge. But they themselves were agnostics—phenomenalists—and did not allow the idea that it was possible to know whether there was an objective world or not. At first they declared themselves defenders of science, but as development progressed they moved away from this more and more. They understood that their philosophy contradicted elementary discoveries. And the result is the collapse of neopositivism, the advent of postpositivism, and everything comes to the conclusion that there is no difference between science and fairy tales. And who is right? Yes, everyone is right and everyone is wrong, since there is no objective truth independent of man. The world is invented by scientists, not discovered. What science, what legends, what the Bible is all the same. And analytical philosophy, from an attempt to explain scientific knowledge, came to this, since science is in blatant contradiction with all the provisions of neo- and post-positivism.
The problem of the relationship between the world in ourselves and the world for us arises. One thing is clear that the world in itself and the world for us do not coincide in content, because the world in itself will never enter the world for us, since the world is infinite. The process of cognition in this sense is endless. While there are no barriers to knowledge, we learn that even more remains unknown. In this sense, the world in itself is always wider than the world for us. And we return to the problem of perception and the object of perception. Those who are nearsighted see differently whether they wear glasses or not. ...Next comes a joke about grandma... Peace in ourselves and peace for us are one and the same Necessarily not the same thing. As soon as we pull out one moment, we find ourselves either in the power of Berkeley or Kant.
A photograph of this lecture is available in the attached files.
Plato also argued that the world is a single whole - a holon. Such a whole is not reduced to the sum of its parts, but itself generates them. A phenomenon can also be a holon - an organic whole that develops according to appropriate laws (art, for example). The degree of probability of the coincidence of all conditions leading to the existence of the Universe as we know it is so small that it cannot be taken into account in a strict theory.
It is no coincidence that the inquisitive mind of scientists has always sought evidence of the existence of a given evolutionary program. And not without success. An example of this is the attempts of the Russian paleobotanist S.V. Meyen to derive a table of forms of living things, similar to the periodic table.
Today, in the light of recent discoveries, the existence of the world as a universal consciousness manifesting itself in various ways is a scientific reality. This implies the inevitability of a synthesis of science, philosophy and religion.
Now about the man. He is not ready now for new technologies and energies. A huge amount of spiritual moonshine is being poured out on people. Everyone understands the material danger that moonshine poses to health. But spiritual moonshine has an immeasurably greater destructive power. A law on the psychoprotection of the public is necessary - and urgent. This is a matter of national security. We are now in a rapid stream of evolution, of which we are only partially aware. There is an urgent need to change to meet this flow. If we do not change, the new energies coming to the Earth will burn us.
The world is a colossal hologram. Each point has complete information about the world as a whole. The basis of the world is consciousness, the carrier of which is spin-torsion fields. Words and thoughts are torsion bars that create the phenomena of the world. A thought is born and the whole world immediately knows about it. A person is projected onto the Universe in proportions that are not comparable to the size of his physical body. A monstrous responsibility falls with the understanding of this on a person. The field of consciousness generates everything, and our consciousness is part of it.
Question: Have you witnessed a miracle?
Answer: And I'm not alone. Our world is a miracle. The constant speed of light in all frames of reference is a miracle. All speeds are relative, and why this one is always constant is a miracle.
Question: Aren't you afraid that new sects will arise based on your discoveries?
Answer: People can make a toy, and often a very dangerous one, out of any great discovery. They open fire and turn it into a toy. They open an atom and turn it into a toy. Today’s meeting is needed so that the discovery of torsion fields does not become another toy. It's all about us and how we will change by gaining this knowledge.
Question: What do you think about intuition?
Answer: Intuition is given to us so that we can sense the existence of God.

CONSCIOUSNESS AND ITS REALITIES
“Human consciousness is fixed on a certain picture of the reality of one of the multidimensionalities of the Universe. But this fixation is not rigid; with the development of consciousness, its overview expands; with the degradation of consciousness, the overview collapses. Degradation of consciousness or lack of growth is the result of a limited flow of information or its distortion.
A person must be able to think, analyze, imagine. The more a person receives and understands information about the world around him, the more intense the process of development of consciousness and its capabilities will be. At the same time, moral priorities in a person’s life begin to acquire special significance. And they are the prerogative of information flows in the human mind. Consciousness, like a mirror, will reflect and construct the reality that entered consciousness as information. And the sooner a person comprehends the laws of humane existence, as the Basic Law of the Universe, the more effective the results of his development will be.
A developed consciousness has a wider viewing angle and more knowledge, which allows one to constantly increase the view without fear of losing oneself in other realities of the Universe. The wider the consciousness, the more Levels of the Global System it can cover and the more actively it can function on them.
Human consciousness is capable, in its development, of gradually going beyond the limits of its world and cognizing the Universe in its multidimensionality and infinity.”
SAMADHI OR CONNECTION OF CONSCIOUSNESS
INTO A SINGLE GLOBAL SYSTEM
“Any person, in his or her potential, is capable of feeling the presence of the Supreme Creative Power in himself and the world around him. It is only necessary that the essence of a person - his spirit and soul - not be crushed by imaginary and conditional life values and guidelines, so that there is no anger or resentment in a person towards the priceless gift - life, whatever it may be for a person. After all, life is painted in different colors by people themselves, and it is on them, first of all, that this or that embodiment of the Harmony and Beauty of Life in its original quality depends.
The more a person desires the good of all things, the more sincere he is in his appeals and prayers to God, the deeper his immersion in the Divine Power will be and the more clearly he will feel Its presence in himself and around him.
And one day a person will gain insight into his Divine essence...
A person will pass through Samadhi...
There are many degrees of Samadhi. Each consciousness gives its own, unique reaction to this wonderful process, but everyone has one thing in common - the Spirit awakens in a person and a person begins to realize within himself the Universal Life, of which he himself is a part.
There are no analogues of Samadhi among earthly feelings, so a person from the first moment clearly realizes that something unusual is happening to him. The power of Samadhi, if you trust It, will itself lead a person, giving him the maximum possible feeling and understanding of the process happening to him. The possibilities of human consciousness will be maximally expanded, the clarity of consciousness will be extraordinary... All this will make it possible at the moment of Samadhi to immeasurably increase the potential of human consciousness as a whole, and after Samadhi it will allow consciousness to begin counting down a new stage of its development - CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION.
Samadhi or Insight, or Second, True Birth, in other words, the connection of consciousness into the Unified Information System of the Universe. This is truly a new countdown of life for a person. Everything in his life changes... An all-pervading understanding of the Life of all Existence comes, the whole world is filled with Love, Beauty and Light. Consciousness begins to grow and expand, trying to accommodate the world, and merges with it in unity. The Joy of Life fills the soul, and the heart fills with gratitude for this priceless gift. The heart and mind begin to see clearly, comprehending the true meaning of Existence.
God is Life, this is Joy, this is Knowledge, this is Creativity, this is INFINITE, BOUNDLESS LOVE.”
SAMADHI AND THINKING
“The state of Samadhi or Insight is an accompanying experience when a person’s consciousness enters the System of Universal Cosmic Consciousness. The degree of insight upon entering the Global Continuum System depends on the level of development of a person’s consciousness.
But Samadhi can also turn out to be an ineffective influence on consciousness if a person does not have a craving for the process of cognition, which can lead a person to True Knowledge. For further evolutionary development, human consciousness requires conscious interaction with the information flows of the System, which becomes possible when a person reaches a certain level of thinking. The state of Samadhi is rather a feeling, an experience, which can be a powerful stimulus on the Path of Knowledge. But the basis for the development of human consciousness is still thinking.
Through the development of his thinking, a person touches True Knowledge, from which he draws for himself more and more strength and insights into the meaning of Being and cosmic processes, about the true role and place of man in them, and, finally, about man’s conscious participation in these processes. By developing thinking, a person touches ever new levels of True Knowledge, but a prerequisite for obtaining such Knowledge is the ethics of human existence. True Knowledge is revealed only with spirituality, which comes as a result of ethical existence.
Touching the Truth provides an inexhaustible source of the deepest insights that bring knowledge and strength, and light, and joy, and love. Ultimately, everything that a person perceives as life around him, he receives from within, from the depths of his soul, with the help of his own feelings and mind. And the degree of awareness of life depends on the degree of their development. The deeper a person’s feelings and thoughts, the more power and beauty they contain, the closer they are to the Truth that lies at their basis. Through thoughts, seeing deep into oneself, a person begins to see into the Universe.
That is why Living Ethics so insists on the development of thinking: “Above all Samadhi, Thought predominates in the Universe.” Through the development of thinking, a person receives insight, awareness, Knowledge. Knowledge gives true Life.
THINK!”
REALITIES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
“Each consciousness creates its own unique world. The consciousness of each person is the sphere in which ideas, ideas, impressions, and feelings unfold that arise from contact with the worlds-spheres of other consciousnesses. For a person there are no other realities except the reality of his consciousness. But the more realities of other consciousnesses he can accommodate, the wider, more voluminous, and richer his own world will be.
Everything that a person sees around him as an objective reality is a derivative of a multitude of consciousnesses that collectively create this reality. First of all, the reality of a person is the reality of consciousnesses of the Higher Order, which create the person himself and inscribe into the consciousness of a person his first impressions of the world, which are for a person the world of his objective reality. These are physical constants for him: water is wet, fire is burning, there is pain, cold and hunger... All this causes primary reactions in a person’s consciousness and primary attempts to reflect in him a certain reality that exists outside his consciousness. But this is an illusion, all a person’s ideas about the world around him will be real to him only through his own constructions of his consciousness. The world of man, the world of his consciousness is always built from within. And this world is capable of growing and developing only by absorbing the worlds of other consciousnesses.
The Universe is an infinite number of consciousness-spheres, like mirrors, reflecting, to one degree or another, each other’s worlds. The wider the viewing angle of consciousness, the more consciousness absorbs, the more voluminous, colorful, and rich it is. Cognition and creativity are the main prerogatives of consciousness. The tools in this process are thought and feeling, with the help of which worlds are created. In addition to them, a necessary component of consciousness is the will, which gives BEING to the world-consciousnesses.
The possibilities of human consciousness at this stage of its development are very small, a person now looks more like a “hedgehog in the fog,” but the possibilities of human consciousness are endless, because it was not for nothing that you, people, were told: “You are Gods.”
The other day there was a significant breakthrough in consciousness for me. There is so much negativity around, so many distortions, that it is very difficult to exist in it. And there is no end in sight... I was thinking about this... and suddenly an understanding began to unfold: The more negative energy is pumped up on Earth now, the greater the power of transformative energies will be able to come.
The law of opposites also operates in this process. And now you don’t even need to try to understand what is happening and from what, so as not to absorb into your consciousness all this obsolete garbage. Everything that happens is natural. We need to think about the future. And live by it. This can and should be done now, because the energies of the future are already in the space of the planet, you just need to be aware of them. You need to reach out to them with all the strength of your soul, you can feel them, be imbued with them.
I reached out to them and immediately found myself in them. With my inner vision I saw how energies began to descend in rainbow half rings, everything around began to be filled with a thin orange-yellow light, transparent and ringing. And, most importantly, I felt so joyful and light in my soul and at that moment there was nothing in the world that could upset me. Nothing had value in the old world. Everything here is distorted, everything is mutilated almost beyond recognition, even the highest feelings. Everything is full of pain and everything must go.
And the new is full of such indescribable freedom, beauty, in it the soul spreads in all directions at once... and nothing is scary to it... It contains love, which you trust endlessly...
THE REALITY OF OUR TIMES
“People don't realize the urgency of the times they live in today. And the fact that they are faced with a task that they have not even formulated, not to mention the need for its urgent solution. New energies are coming to the Earth in powerful streams, transforming the earthly world. But people do not want to notice the changes that have already become obvious. For the majority, everything is as always. But, before our eyes, the climate is changing, new diseases are appearing, the number of disasters is constantly increasing, the very space in which people live is changing, but only a few are aware of this. And while people for the most part do not realize their main task - changing the consciousness of humanity in accordance with the requirements of spiritual evolution - the general state of life on the planet will only worsen.
And the state of chaos on the planet today is rapidly growing. Transformative cosmic energies, not accepted into the consciousness of humanity, are assimilated by the semi-intelligent forces of the elements and only give rise to their complete disorder. Space, saturated with Fiery energies, becomes more and more active, more plastic and responsive to human thought. But what does human thought contain today? Alas, for the most part, destruction.
Today it is becoming increasingly dangerous to be in places where there are even small crowds of people, their minds are so chaotic. The space itself in such places becomes especially unstable, chaotic, and fraught with unpredictable consequences. Due to the increasing activity of space, each event multiplies and repeats around the world like an echo. Someone has already noticed how the same event, in a short period of time, has several... multiple repetitions. And this multiplicity is increasing.
Today, more than ever before, a person needs to be correct or righteous; this is his “safety cushion” in a raging world of growing chaos. Otherwise, a person becomes a “trap for trouble”... There is nothing worse than becoming an attractive focus for chaos, because in this case a person becomes dangerous for the world around him, since he will increase its destabilization. Even being around such people is dangerous for both health and life. Such people attract all sorts of misfortunes, illnesses, accidents; they simply “break” the space around them, drawing other people into this funnel. And all this multiplies and strengthens each other in space.
All spatial processes today are actively increasing – both negative and positive. The world of Earth must be transformed and raised to a new evolutionary level. And it is human consciousness that must become the connecting link between the energies of Earth and Heaven in this process.
The fate of the planet and all humanity depends on each person today. Let every person ask himself the question of what he brings to the world: creation or destruction? The question is urgent, urgent: life or death? Life is kindness, justice, mercy, love... Death is misanthropy, greed, selfishness, betrayal, lies...
YOUR CHOICE, HUMAN?”
ABOUT WORLDS
“A person sees the world around him as it is given to him in his perception. In the world familiar to a person, there are familiar landmarks, but this does not mean that the world is such. Just as in the earthly world a blind person does not see the world, so in order to see the real picture of the universe, an earthly person has not yet received his sight.
The worlds are infinite and are not separated from each other by insurmountable barriers and there are no clear boundaries between them. All worlds are nearby. Worlds pass into worlds, and their main determinant is the level of consciousness of those who reside in them and those who create them.
All worlds are interconnected and represent a Unified Energy Information System of the Universal Mind. The higher the level of development of consciousness, the higher the level of its stay in the System. Both the multitude of worlds and the multitude of consciousnesses filling and creating them - each has its own path along the ascending and descending levels of the Global System.
To a certain state of development of consciousness as a species, its self-development occurs within each level of the System. But upon reaching a sufficiently high potential, as a species as a whole, it goes beyond the boundaries of its level to contacts with other types of consciousnesses from other levels of the System of the Universal Mind.
Any consciousness is a structural unit of the Universal Mind, and the higher the level of its development, the greater the abilities and opportunities for contacts with other consciousnesses it has, without losing its characteristics.
This is the evolutionary path of universal development, the path along which humanity is moving.”
KNOWING THE TRUTH
“Humanity strives to understand the Universe only through comprehension of the laws of construction of the material world, completely losing sight of the spiritual aspect of the Universe. The harmonious path of knowledge combines, together with external knowledge, comprehension and its spiritual component. And this path begins in the consciousness of a person and humanity as a whole.
Knowledge of the essence of man - to the essence of all humanity - is knowledge from the particular to the general. Only a combination of knowledge of the external world and the internal world can reveal the Truth in all its versatility. Truth is Knowledge, the essence of which is spiritual matter.
Man receives from the Cosmos and produces all kinds of energies into it. Energy is the carrier of material and spiritual substances, organized into certain structures that perform certain functions in the Universal System of the Cosmic Mind.
At every moment of its existence, humanity comes into contact with the energies of the Creative Forces of the Cosmos, but is not aware of it. It still has not found the Creator in its heart, which is why the spiritual essence of the material world is still hidden from humanity. But the faster humanity realizes the Truth, the higher its cosmic path will be and the less misfortune and suffering there will be in the human world. The more harmony and beauty there is in the soul of humanity, the greater contribution it will be able to make to the Universal System of Cosmic Mind, the basis of which is Spiritual Matter.”
Comments: about humanity as a species and contacts with the Cosmic Mind.
Despite the fact that each person is unique, humanity as a whole is still a single conglomerate. At the level of the subconscious and superconscious, humanity is a single entity on a cosmic scale, a unique and unique conglomerate, or, to make it clearer, the species as a whole.
At the level of development at which humanity is now, it is not adequately aware of its unity. On the contrary, he is extremely hostile even towards his fellow tribesmen if they do not have the same skin color, eye shape, or simply a different faith. It doesn't matter what the difference is...
It is difficult to imagine that, being at such a level of consciousness development, humanity as a whole will be ready for conscious contacts with aliens from other levels, which may differ radically in large parameters.
I don’t like the word “aliens”, since the Cosmic Higher Forces are no longer inhabitants of other planets, they have all already passed their intraplanetary phases of development. Only those civilizations that have gone through all stages of preliminary development on their planets, having become Space Collaborators, enter free Space.
But it is important to know about this, at least for a certain number of people, sooner or later, and in this case the “hundredth monkey effect” will work... And then humanity as a species as a whole will be prepared for such contacts, and this is a way out to other levels of the system Universal Mind.
BRIEFLY ABOUT UFOs
“I would like to touch a little on a topic that is constantly on everyone’s lips today and which has set many people’s teeth on edge, because there is a lot of cheap speculation on this topic.
What exactly is a UFO, if we discard all other earthly phenomena accompanying this phenomenon?
For quite a long time, when I independently tried to delve deeper into this topic and fish out the answer to it from the depths of my consciousness, I kept running into an internal prohibition. There was no answer for a long time, consciousness had to simply ripen for it...
So what exactly is a UFO?
These are artificial energy-information structures operating in terrestrial and outer space, with certain specified programs. Or in other words – high-energy semi-intelligent structures that work with life-supporting energy field structures of the Earth, near and far Space.
UFOs are not alien ships or robots in the usual sense. UFOs contain programs that can adjust their behavior depending on the circumstances in which they find themselves.
UFOs have different levels of interaction forces with the field structures of the Unified Energy Field, including the fields of the Earth.
UFOs vary in their types and purposes.
There are UFOs that provide corrective assistance in energy exchange processes occurring on Earth and in Space. They generate high-frequency energy, which they “treat” by pumping up force and stabilizing processes if disturbances occur in them that threaten the safety of any system with which they work.
There are others that work in low-frequency ranges, absorbing negative, destructive energy that arises in places of field imbalance.
But in any case, it is undesirable for biological objects to be in the zone of influence of any UFO, because These are always areas with a very strong energetic impact.
All UFOs are strictly divided into structures that work with certain energy fields, with different energy levels.
But recently, violations of the Earth’s energy shells have been constantly occurring, which leads to the fact that UFOs with other programs, working with the hard energies of deep space, are increasingly penetrating into the structures of the planet, which is destructive for the biological life of the Earth.
UFOs are everywhere: in Space, in the Earth’s atmosphere, in its bowels and waters.
Who owns them and who oversees them?
To the Highest Intelligent Forces of the Cosmos, who generate Life in all its manifestations and accompany its development on every planet and star.”
RHYTHMS
“The Universe is a boundless ocean of waves-vibrations following certain rhythms.
Rhythm is a wave structuring that allows matter to be organized into certain forms.
A person - his body, his consciousness - are also a wave structure that continuously interacts with the Cosmos surrounding a person. But often the rhythms that determine human life are disrupted due to various circumstances, causing the most negative consequences, be it diseases of the body or all kinds of disorders of consciousness.
Modern man is almost constantly in a state of stress, which prevents him from living a full life. Prayers, classical music, communication with nature help him restore his spiritual and physical strength, tuning a person to the right rhythms. But a person can consciously activate this process with the help of certain rhythms that will harmonize a person as a wave system and return him to the cosmic rhythm.
The energies of the external world of modern man are coarse; a person with a subtle internal organization has an especially difficult time existing in them due to the discrepancy in vibration amplitudes between the external and internal worlds.
Rhythms are capable of changing the structure of space, making it more harmonious and orderly, capable of being a conductor of new life-affirming ideas and thereby transforming a person and life into better forms.

MORALITY AS A SPACE LAW
“Morality is the laws of the ethical existence of humanity, given to it at the dawn of its history. And although they are sometimes interpreted in detail, the main ones are always laid by the Leaders in the foundation of each of the numerous civilizations and cultures of the planet - past, present and future.
The fundamental laws of life are most concentrated in the Ten Commandments of Christianity.
Violation of moral foundations inevitably leads any civilization to its complete collapse. The morality of the people falls - the state collapses. A house cannot stand for long without a reliable foundation. Any great river begins with small streams, which, merging, give rise to a powerful stream - so the morality of an entire nation originates in each individual person.
Morality should be ingrained in a person from childhood as internal attitudes, which later manifest themselves as conscience. Conscience is a concept of a higher order. Conscience, like a tuning fork, tunes a person’s consciousness to the high vibrations of the Higher Worlds, living in accordance with the highest principles of the Existence of the Cosmos. For violating them, earthly humanity today pays a terrible price - decomposition of the spirit.
A person who has chosen a spiritual path for himself must especially sensitively and vigilantly monitor his every thought, word and deed, so as not to disrupt his living connection with the Highest. This is not difficult to do, you just need to carefully monitor the reactions of your consciousness that follow every thought and deed. Good always gives peace and joy, bad always gives doubts, disharmony and a bad conscience.
Conscience in a person is his living connection with God, who lives in the human heart and manifests Himself in man in the Moral Principles.”
ABOUT CONSCIENCE
“Every person is endowed with the ability to feel his external and internal “I” as certain centers of his external and internal world. It is significant and important for a harmonious life that these centers in a person are coordinated with each other.
The process of agreement is determined by conscience.
If agreement is achieved, conscience is calm and becomes the guiding principle in a person’s life. And this means that the inner “I” begins to actively manifest itself in a person.
If the external “I” wins, and this is the personal manifestation of a person, then disharmony inevitably arises between these two centers of consciousness, since the person’s personality inevitably seeks support for its manifestation. And if it does not establish itself in the inner man, a gap will occur between the external and internal zones of consciousness, and the conscience will either be restless, or, if the gap is too great, the voice of conscience will not be heard at all.
This state of consciousness deprives a person of a sense of inner peace. Consciousness turns out to be locked in the external “I” - just a tool with the help of which a person realizes himself in the external world of his manifestation. This tool is imperfect, and it works only in the outer zone of consciousness.
All our imperfections are collected in the external zone of consciousness, our external “I” is extremely egocentric, it always and in everything starts counting only from itself and for itself. And she cannot hear the voice of conscience.
The inner zone of human consciousness is located at high levels of the System of Universal Consciousness, and the main measure for it is the Unity of everything and everyone. And the voice of conscience for her is the voice of God.
The whole life of a person is a constant coordination or war between the external and internal world, between the external and internal “I” of a person. But this division is conditional, it is impossible to divide a person in two - he is one in essence, and yet divided if he does not live according to his conscience.
“A house divided against itself cannot stand.”
Remember this."
MAN AS CO-CREATOR AND CONDUCTOR OF HIGHER POWERS
“A person in the world of dense matter is a part of the Supreme Reality and is the focus of the manifestation of dense and subtle energies. It reflects the processes and phenomena occurring in dense layers of matter and in the world of pure consciousness, i.e. the subtlest or highest energies.
If a person becomes capable of carrying Higher energies in his consciousness: Love, Compassion, Fearlessness, Selflessness, such a person will be a blessing to the world around him, since such a person brings the Higher Order into the surrounding reality.
The state of consciousness of any person is a prism in which the energies of the Universal Energy Information System are refracted. Whether a person creates or destroys the world around him depends on the constituent qualities of his consciousness, their moral and ethical definitions.
Everything that happens in the human world is a derivative of the co-creation of all humanity. Everything is interconnected.
There is no such thing as someone else’s misfortune, and if people suffer somewhere, then you have a share in this. A hateful or stupid thought, an angry feeling, anger, irritation - everything is recorded by space and remains in it potentially ready for manifestation. And sooner or later, but definitely somewhere, through someone, it will manifest itself, joining a potential similar to itself - and then trouble happens... And if it happened today on the other side of the world, this does not mean at all that next time she will not knock on your house.
If your thoughts and feelings are aimed at good, think about the good that you can bring to the world, it can be limitless.
Remember, man, that you are a co-creator and conductor of the Higher Powers, if they can be manifested in you, and this depends, first of all, on the purity of your consciousness. Think about what you bring to the world at every moment of your life.”
ABOUT SOME FEATURES OF THE WORK OF CONSCIOUSNESS
“A person who has embarked on the path of self-knowledge and improvement, as this process deepens, will inevitably encounter phenomena that can puzzle and even frighten if they are not correctly understood, realized, or at least close to the understanding and habitual classification of the phenomena of earthly reality.
The whole difficulty is that the very mechanism of knowing the inner world of consciousness and reaching other levels of thinking can turn out to be an obstacle for a person if the person is not psychologically prepared for manifestations that are unusual for him.
With the usual method of cognition, a person brings a concrete or abstract object of cognition into his consciousness from the OUTSIDE.
Consciousness is trying to “split” it, as it were, in order to figure out and find out “what’s inside.” The object of cognition will be alien to consciousness and cut off from all its interrelations, i.e. conditionally isolated from the environment for cognition. This habitual method of cognition, directed from the outside in, is less effective than the method FROM THE INSIDE out, which becomes possible with the successful process of development and growth of consciousness.
Only in such a situation does the moment of cognition INSIDE the cognizable object become possible. Consciousness becomes able to penetrate, grow inside the cognizable, merging and becoming one with it, revealing its true essence in all its multiple relationships, giving a complete, inseparable from the world, idea of an object, phenomenon or abstraction.
The degree and completeness of awareness will directly depend on the capabilities and characteristics of the consciousness of the knower, as well as the methodology of cognition, which can be figurative, mental, sensory or combined.
But in any case, it will be very different from the way of thinking a person is accustomed to.
The emergence of sudden unusual associations, vivid internal images, feelings and insights in a person with a clear “daytime” consciousness can cause fear and trigger a defensive reaction of consciousness that closes new information channels if the person is not psychologically prepared for this.
Without overcoming fear and mistrust, there will be no way for consciousness to gain new opportunities for understanding both the external and internal world.
But even without a guide it is dangerous to go on this path; you can get lost in Infinity. And this guide is SPIRITUALITY, it is spirituality that will protect, and guide, and help, and stop in time if there is not enough strength to move on. This path does not tolerate haste and carelessness; a person must be aware of his moral principles and the higher they are, the freer and safer the path.
On this path, a person should not have any compromises with himself.
No significance of conventional earthly reality will outweigh for him the significance of the Universal Laws, common to all things, the violation of which leads to varying degrees of destabilization of the Universal System. And therefore, the more worthy a person is, the more in harmony his unity with the System is, and the clearer his view and the higher his road, and the greater opportunities for knowledge he will have.”
ENERGY OF PRAYER
“Any thought is information, and, above all, energy.
A lot of energy with negative potential is now concentrated in the earthly sphere. So much evil, unrighteous deeds and false, vile thoughts are now in the near-earth space that suffocating energies in the most terrible way are trying to destroy every consciousness awakening to the Light.
How to protect yourself from such a phenomenon?
A WORD OF PRAYER, which will be a bridge between human consciousness and the Higher Spheres.
AND PURITY OF HEART.
The prayer can be very short, consisting of just one word, but it must be filled with the aspiration of a pure heart.
Turning to the Highest will help neutralize negative energy information flows and make it possible to use the neutralized energy as Life Force, with the help of which a person can create good thoughts and good deeds.
Do this as often as possible. Thus, a person will bring a lot of benefit, and not only to himself, but also to his neighbors and those far away, and therefore to all humanity on Earth.
This will be the spatial service of a person whose consciousness turns to the Light - to bring Light to planet Earth.”
ABOUT TIME AND PATIENCE
“The topic is difficult for a person: both time and patience are very flexible categories, and a person perceives his life and himself as a short-term phenomenon. Hence the constant attempts to combine into one bright, shining point, into an instantaneous manifestation of processes that are calculated and laid down for centuries, for millennia and for many manifested lives of the same person.
Man, until now, knows negligibly little about himself, about the world around him, about the meaning of life, about the Divine Powers behind all manifestations of reality. All his ideas are, in fact, superficial and rather fragmentary, far from reality. As a result, neither in religion, nor in science, nor in society, there is neither a holistic picture of Life, nor its real goals and meaning. And for the most part, people have still not grown in consciousness to the urgent need to understand the essence of Life, whether their own, their planet or the entire Cosmos.
Those crumbs of True Knowledge that the Initiates bring to the world are either rejected or refracted in the consciousness of people in the most strange way. Hence the whole pantheon of absurdities, misunderstandings and often outright nonsense concerning the Highest Knowledge about man and evolution in general.
Not only is each human life subject to timing and cycles of development, such as childhood, youth, maturity, and old age, each with its own program, but the entire evolution of the life of the planet and its humanity is subject to similar cycles, timing and processes. One does not jump straight from infancy to maturity and one needs to grow for a long time, gaining life experience, going through cycle after cycle in one’s development. But we always expect miracles from nature.
Nothing grows as slowly as human consciousness. But millions of years of evolution are incomprehensible to him. He absolutely needs to fit them into one short human life, which, as he believes, is given to him only once and by the happy accident of a successful articulation at the level of cellular processes.
But life is much, much more than a person can imagine, and if he begins to believe it, then Life itself begins to trust him with its secrets.
Those foundations of True Knowledge that have already been brought by the Initiates will help humanity lay the foundation for the powerful construction of its evolution. And then there will be no more empty hopes for miracles that instantly transform life into a fairy tale. Humanity will not wait to move into the fourth dimension to become happy and will not hope that somehow, in a few decades, science will make its life an ordinary miracle.
Humanity still has to learn moral lessons in order to become a conductor of the moral Laws of Cosmic Life, of which it itself is an inextricable part.
Wish the world and man well, but do not squeeze him into the rigid framework of your ideas about him.
The formula is beautiful and vital: “Let the world be well!” It is free and lofty.
Let it be so!"
LOVE AS COSMIC POWER AND ENERGY
“The energy of Love dominates the Universe. The Energy of Love in its essence is the Power of Attraction and the Power of the Unity of All That Exists. If suddenly these fundamental properties suddenly disappear, the Universe will cease to exist at the same moment.
The Universe exists by Love, which makes it the One Life Substance. Love is Life itself, which manifests itself in every atom that fills the Universe. Every atom of matter, from the subtlest to the densest, is full of the Unity of Life.
Humanity of the Earth and each person individually, at its core, bears these fundamental properties of the Universal Cosmic Life. But due to the evolutionary task that endowed him with an individualized consciousness - a personal ego, man found himself in the false space of separation of Life and in the illusory zone of unlove.
And I must again, with the power of my mind and the sensitivity of my own heart, comprehend the inextricable Unity of Life, filled with the Power of Love. To comprehend your inextricable connection with the Cosmos, every atom of your body, your growing mind and heart, which beats in unison with the Great Heart of the Universe, which sets the rhythm for the entire manifested Cosmos. This is an aspect of Cosmic Love.
For humans, it manifests itself in the unity of all humanity on Earth. Humanity has one Soul. And if a person feels his inextricable connection with everyone living, without dividing the world into friends and strangers, his life will be filled with the energies of Cosmic Love, translated into human deeds and feelings.”
WILL
“Will is a manifestation of the energies of the Supreme Triad or the Divine Trinity, as the Highest Principle of Her creative Powers.
The whole essence of this Principle is expressed for a person in a simple formula: WILLPOWER.
The process of the Highest Creation is always conditioned by powerful will, i.e. the transformation of the energy of thought, revealing itself in the organization of matter of all degrees into various forms; from the subtlest ideas to concrete objects.
Volition is always a guiding force that holds the energy of thought in a certain given direction, which allows you to construct the desired reality and keep it within the given parameters.
The will can be compared to the bed of a water stream that directs its waters, i.e. the energy of thought and desire, along a certain channel.
The Higher Will is always directed only for good, no matter how unusual or sometimes unacceptable it may seem to a person’s personal consciousness.
It is said: “The wisdom of this world is foolishness before God.”
And how often a person opposes his will to the Higher Will, creating lawlessness and chaos in the world of his reality. Without seeing, without fully realizing the consequences of his thoughts and deeds, a person himself becomes a source of chaos, destroying his world.
Only in accordance with the Higher Will is the Existence of humanity possible.
Without calling a person to lack of will, but calling for humility, which means the acceptance of the Higher Will with the world and the voluntary joining of the human will to it, a person is called to cooperation, to the unification of all creative forces-energies for the evolutionary growth and development of all humanity, which is the Highest Divine Idea and Evolutionary Plan. Earthly humanity is part of the Unified Cosmic Consciousness, which means it must live in the same rhythm with it, in harmony, and not in counteracting chaos.
“All is Thy Will, Lord” - this is the path to the wonderful future of humanity, full of Love, Beauty, Brotherhood. This is a world where the Higher Will leads people, and humanity needs to learn, with great gratitude, to follow It.”
PERSON AS A MANIFESTATION OF PERSONALITY
“It is impossible to convince a person of anything; only being through suffering in those circumstances that are an expression of his essence forces him to change his judgments.
Any external circumstances of life are formed under the influence of the internal forces of the individual, becoming its external world.
The life of the human community as a whole is the total manifestation of the personal powers of billions of people.
The internal forces of a person are not only manifestations of a person’s purely personal qualities, but also those forces that come from the deeper, mental and spiritual levels of a person, refracting in his consciousness.
The selfishness of a person is capable of distorting any manifestations of forces from any level of the human universe. And the greater the egoism in a person’s manifestations, the stronger the distortion of forces.
A person needs to learn to see his personal element in everything he touches and encounters in life. And it is very important to strive to think and feel in higher categories, moving the focus of the individual’s consciousness as high as possible.
The energies of the individual, no matter how strong they are, are ultimately destructive to the world. A person builds his world only for himself, without taking into account the rights and interests of other people, which inevitably leads to various kinds of conflicts, from domestic quarrels to global wars.
Man, manifested as a personality, is only a stage of his evolution, which he must inevitably say goodbye to, rising to the next evolutionary stage.
If this does not happen, a person begins to destroy himself and destroy his world.
This is a time of suffering, which should become identifying marks on the path that leads to destruction. And this is the time for the creation of a new person, a time when you inevitably have to change your judgments about yourself and about the world.
“The tension in the world is great now, and where it is especially intensified by irresponsible and selfish people, explosions are inevitable.
What you sow is what you reap.
Wars and conflicts are just a consequence, an action following a cause, a destructive thought."
Introduction. Without being too precise, we can say that the problem of “consciousness and physical reality” does not seem to exist in modern science. It does not exist because from the very beginning natural science sought to create an objective picture of the world, that is, to create a model of it that would, if possible, be invariant to any local, “personal” point of view tied to a specific observation point. The tendency to get rid of everything subjective, “human - too human” is extremely important; it is inherent in the very, so to speak, genotype of European science. Consistently pursuing this line required enormous intellectual effort, but ultimately brought numerous and impressive results. It is not surprising, therefore, that everything that can now be interpreted as an attempt to return to topics that seem to have been left forever in the impassable jungle of various archaic, pre-scientific, “occult” constructions causes an acute reaction of rejection and is often assessed as an undoubted sign of social, cultural , scientific, etc. and so on. - decadence.
Meanwhile, the possible connection between consciousness and matter is now being discussed quite actively, and we will highlight the two most important aspects of this topic.
1. The problem of reduction. The first of them is related to the problem of the so-called wave function reduction in quantum mechanics. This is a very old question that was especially acute during the development of the theory, continuing to attract the attention of physicists at the present time.
It is generally accepted that the evolution of a quantum system, described by the Schrödinger equation, has a completely deterministic character. But at the moment of measurement, when the system transitions to one of the final states, it is impossible to indicate in advance what choice will be made. Moreover, it is believed that the reasons influencing the outcome of this event are not only unknown, but simply absent (quantum indeterminism). In other words, at such a moment the state of the world momentarily ceases to obey the laws of nature, and an irreparable break appears in the continuous chain of causes and effects. From the very beginning it was clear that this seemingly local problem was a fundamental gap in the very conceptual foundations of not only physics, but also all of natural science. Therefore, for decades it has been the subject of lively debate.
2. The principle of superposition and the virtual world. In quantum physics, the principle of superposition operates, according to which, if a system can be in states described by the functions J 1, J 2, ... J k , then it can be in a state corresponding to a linear combination of these functions. Since the coefficients in a combination are complex numbers, this composition is not a purely mechanical mixture, but the result of a special kind of interference of potential possibilities.
A clear illustration of the property of potential interference is the textbook example of the interference of particles, such as photons, on a screen with two slits. The distribution of counts is as if the behavior of each photon was controlled by a wave interacting with itself according to the laws of wave optics. Such interaction involves alternative, mutually exclusive possibilities (“a photon can fly through only one slit”). It should be noted that the property of quantum superposition is not visual, since it is not probabilities that are added here, but wave functions - the example of photon diffraction is only one of very few that can be at least somehow depicted.
Thus, if you literally follow the structure of quantum formalism, then the whole world seems to split into two. The first is a kind of quantum Through the Looking Glass, where potential states of the Universe simultaneously exist and interact according to peculiar laws. The evolution of this world is described, for example, by the Schrödinger equation, so that one can speak of a continuous flow of interfering potentialities, “virtual paths”, “shadows”, “clouds of probability”, etc. and so on. - the set of metaphors can be continued, but the main thing here is the paradoxical, impossible in the classical world, interaction of something that does not seem to exist. The second plane is the real, macroscopic world, the space of actual events, in which there is no place for uncertainty, ambiguity, and if this is possible, it is only due to our ignorance of what is really happening.
We see that the virtual world is strikingly different from the real one. First of all, it is immeasurably more powerful and richer. So, if the sequence of real events is likened to a solo on a musical instrument, then the quantum analogue is like a symphony, the score of which contains countless melodies.
Where is the border between the two worlds? What turns potential into reality? Is such a transformation a certain physical process that the existing theory is not able to describe? There is a whole range of questions here, grouped around the problem of wave function reduction. The overwhelming number of theorists believe that the boundary between the virtual and the real should be drawn for reasons of scale. Roughly speaking, the classical world is the world of large macroscopic bodies for which quantum effects are insignificant, and the transition from potential to real occurs, for example, during the interaction of a microparticle with a device.
3. Wigner's approach. Meanwhile, a number of theorists, such as Yu. Wigner, D'España and others, consider this point of view to be insufficiently consistent and, from the point of view of quantum ideology, internally contradictory. In their opinion, a logically complete system of views requires considering that the macroscopic the device, after interacting with a quantum object, must also be described by a superposition of incompatible states (a plot brilliantly played out by E. Schrödinger in his famous “cat paradox”). The final “collapse” of the wave packet occurs only in the consciousness of the observer. Only consciousness has the unique property of being aware of the most It is the ability to introspect that serves as the starting mechanism for the transition of the entire microobject-device-consciousness system to a certain state.
Just as a screen allows photons from a light stream to acquire a certain place in space (which they simply did not have before interacting with it), the consciousness of the observer stops the virtual stream and suddenly freezes it.
From this point of view, the “principle of reality” is contained not in the physical world, but in the plane of consciousness. The line of demarcation between the potential and the real does not run along a scale (micro-macro) axis, but between the physical (ephemeral!) and, so to speak, the mental, conscious (real!). The philosophical position is exactly the opposite, as we see, of the one with which European science started.
4. Everett's World. A no less radical approach is developed in Everett's concept. Until now, a natural, as if self-evident, property of the Universe was assumed to be its uniqueness - none of the physicists thought to doubt this. Meanwhile, based on very deep considerations, Everett came to the conclusion that some problems of theoretical physics receive an unexpected solution if we assume that our world is not unique, but exists in countless equal copies. We are seeing only one of them. The role of consciousness in such a world is cardinal. It selects one world scenario from a host of possible ones. Thanks to this approach, in particular, an original way to eliminate quantum indeterminism appears. According to Everett, in each quantum transition all possibilities are realized at once - the world is split into as many copies as there are options for a given quantum transition. The copies are identical (except for one detail), exist independently and are equivalent in all respects. The question arises: why do we not see the splitting of the world - after all, only one copy of many is observed.
The answer is: consciousness does not split, but ends up in one of the possible branches. Everett offered a witty analogy: an observer in a closed cabin of a uniformly moving ship does not notice its movement. According to the principle of relativity, it is equally possible to say that the ship is uniformly approaching the shore, and that the shore is moving towards the ship.
Similarly, with equal grounds, “what is happening” can be interpreted both as the movement of an event series past a motionless consciousness, and as the transition of consciousness from one branch of the world to another.
It is worth noting a characteristic feature of Everett’s picture of the world: in it, an object so unusual for physical theory as consciousness also appears and serves as an essential element of the entire structure.
It should, of course, be borne in mind that, for all its apparent extravagance, the idea that consciousness is involved in the reduction of the wave function is not something accidental. The emergence of this idea is due to very, very deep reasons. We are not talking here at all about the direct pressure of some unexplained experimental facts, but rather about the internal logic of quantum theory, in the context of which the position of Wigner (and Everett) not only does not look absurd, but is just a fairly consistent development of it. And yet, to a person far from the fundamental problems of quantum mechanics, this topic may seem somewhat scholastic, divorced from the real problems of modern science.
5. Parapsychology data. Meanwhile, there is a huge amount of experimental data, which can be considered as direct and unambiguous evidence that the problem of “consciousness and the physical world” is not something ephemeral, but has serious factual grounds. We are talking about the results of numerous parapsychological studies.
The question of their scientific value is perhaps one of the most painful. It would seem that until a successful and final resolution of this issue, one cannot rely in one’s reasoning on the results of these experiments.
Skeptics say that parapsychology will not soon gain the right to be considered a full-fledged science, since its results are unreliable, often irreproducible, and there is always the possibility of explaining them by experimental errors or deliberate deception. According to another point of view, a sufficient number of experiments have already been carried out that satisfy generally accepted scientific standards, and the persistence of skeptics can only be explained by the conservatism of official science.
Perhaps “conservatism” is not the best word here. After all, the ability of science to explain new facts or to adapt itself to them plastically is amazing. Its conceptual power and methodological richness seem almost limitless. She solved problems of such depth, complexity and beauty, against the background of which studies of all kinds of “parascience” seem like children’s games in a sandbox.
Science can only answer those questions that it itself recognizes as meaningful. What is a sense of life? What color is phlogiston? Does consciousness act on matter? These are topics of the same series, of the same kind. They may have some meaning, but still outside the boundaries of scientific discourse. Science finds it difficult to answer them not at all because they are insolublely complex, but because it does not seem to understand them. The meaning of life, phlogiston, consciousness - such words are not in the dictionary of natural sciences.
It would seem easy to argue: the presence of consciousness is an absolutely reliable, immediately given, undoubted fact of any subjective experience. It is not difficult to foresee the answer. The weakest link in this argument is the word "subjective". Science strives to deal only with objective facts and statements, diligently expelling from its material any subjective element (“subjectively clear” that the Sun revolves around the Earth – “objectively”, “in fact” it’s the other way around).
One can therefore understand those for whom parapsychological activity is devoid of a real object. The famous critic of parapsychology M.M. Bongard even formulated something like a methodological “principle of repression.” He reasoned something like this: the data of parapsychology are so alien to his scientific intuition, the idea of how the world works, that if one day he is presented with the protocol of a successful telepathic experiment, he will be ready to admit the presence of no matter how intricate and unlikely artifacts, but not to recognize the reality of the phenomenon.
Although this position seems somewhat extreme, vividly reminiscent of the plot with epicycles in the Ptolemaic world system, it cannot be denied consistency and, most importantly, a clear understanding of how alien the material of parapsychology is to modern science. To adapt it you will have to pay a price, the size of which is difficult to even approximately estimate. This means that what seems to be depressing conservatism is, in fact, a completely normal reaction of rejection of foreign material, a kind of struggle for the purity of the ideological gene pool. “I am afraid of the Danaans who bring gifts”...
Then it becomes clear why lively discussions on psi research have the sad peculiarity, arising with a certain periodicity, of ending as if in nothing: their usual result is the absence of such. Since the last century, several similar cycles can be identified. It is also easy to make a prediction: these circles will be repeated in the future with approximately the same outcome.
All that has been said gives us reason to refrain from a detailed discussion of the issue of the reliability of psi phenomena, and in subsequent discussions we will simply proceed from the thesis of their reality. The conclusions of several recent works, which present the results of a generalized analysis of a huge array of parapsychological data, allow us to take exactly this position.
The reader can say that even if psi phenomena do occur, they are very small or rare, and therefore their recognition does not require significant changes in the existing model of the world. As if the most that should be done is to add a few curious details to the map, the main contours of which have long been well known.
This approach seems quite reasonable; in fact, it is easy to give many examples when the core of truth is already contained in the first, linear approximation, and all subsequent refinements do not change it.
But situations still arise when the discovery of quantitatively small effects serves as a sign that the existing model needs a qualitative change. Becquerel’s discovery, as is known, consisted “only” in the fact that the atoms of some (very few) elements are radioactive, that is, sometimes, extremely rarely, they decay.
Then we find ourselves in the position of an investigator (or lawyer), who, relying on only two or three reliable facts, tries to get to the essence of the case and strives to make do with only logical arguments for as long as possible.
6. Psychophysical paradox. In our further discussions we will proceed from the thesis about the reality of two such fundamental psi-phenomena as precognition and psychokinesis. There is no particular need to prove that their explanation within the framework of modern physics is at least difficult. Therefore, let us pose the question differently: in which of the existing physical concepts do these phenomena have a relatively high chance of being explained?
Let's start with precognition. First of all, we note that its very existence seems to be a difficult, almost insoluble paradox. Even if we can somehow explain clairvoyance by introducing, for example, the concept of some unusual methods of transmitting information, using which the operator “reads the text” from certain information matrices, even in this case the existence of precognition is absurd, since the future is it's something that hasn't happened yet. It is very difficult to explain receiving information from something that does not yet exist.
The matter, however, is not as hopeless as it might seem at first glance. Since the thirties, so-called theories of direct interaction of particles have existed and are successfully developing in physics (they are also called modern theories of long-range action). Their fundamental novelty lies in the assumption of formal equality of retarded and advanced solutions of the wave equation. In fact, this means that in this kind of theories, along with the usual causal flow familiar to us - from the past to the future, the reverse one in time - from the future to the past - is brought into play.
Of course, the very first question that must be answered is why, despite the formal symmetry of the two components, in reality only a retarded one is observed. This key problem was solved by Wheeler and Feynman. According to their approach, an accelerating charge generates both advanced and retarded waves. The surrounding particles (absorber) also begin to move and, in turn, emit fields with a similar structure. The initial and secondary waves interfere, and the outcome of the interference radically depends on the extent to which this type of radiation intensively interacts with the absorber, which is played by all the matter of the Universe. It has been convincingly shown (theoretically and experimentally) that for all four known types of interactions only a delayed wave should be observed. But from the same considerations it follows that for radiation with a qualitatively different mechanism of interaction with matter, one can expect the presence of an advanced component.
So, recognizing the reality of precognition, we are inclined to believe that our Universe has significant similarities with the Wheeler-Feynman model. This is a world in which everything has already happened, even the future, which in a sense already exists.
Here everything is rigidly connected, and the “rigidity” of such a connection is much greater than in the world of Laplacean determinism, since it is held together by two causal flows - direct and reverse. There is no place in it either for blind chance or for free will, but there is only the illusion of such freedom, and in accordance with the spirit of the theory, we must also believe that the cause of this illusion is as irresistible as all the causes in this pre-eternal world .
This feature of the model was recognized already at the first stages of the theory's formation. One of its creators, the German physicist Tetrode, emphasized: “The sun would not radiate if it were alone in space, and no other bodies could absorb its radiation...”. Another author, who, however, knew nothing either about the theory of long-range action or about physics in general, wrote something very similar in the same years:
Perhaps a whisper was already born before the lips
And the leaves swirled in the treelessness,
And those to whom we dedicate experience,
They acquired traits before experience.
Meanwhile, psychokinesis is the influence of the operator’s volitional effort on objects and processes remote from him. The psychokinetic effect seems to interfere with the causally determined course of events. Therefore, to explain psychokinesis, a model of the world that is more similar to a quantum mechanical one is preferable. In such a model there is also room for the idea of free will. When there is no strict predetermination, no fatal predetermination, this concept does not seem absurd.
So, different psi phenomena correspond to models that are fundamentally different in their qualities: extremely deterministic - foresight and indeterministic - psychokinesis. It turns out that the desired picture of the world must combine the incompatible: at the same time be sufficiently plastic, allow for the possibility of gaps in causal chains, but at the same time extremely rigid and frozen. (The reader may recall something similar: the dualism of wave and corpuscular properties of microparticles. Here we also have to talk about certain “centaurs”. The difference, of course, is that we are talking about the structure of the world as a whole).
Thus, any future theory that claims to explain psi phenomena must also have a way to resolve this serious contradiction. We will call it the “psychophysical paradox.”
7. Synthetic model. The “synthetic model” we considered earlier apparently possesses such resources. It combines two approaches - Everett's and those developed in modern theories of long-range action. The set of possible states of the Universe forms a continuum of (potentially) equivalent Everett copies, each of which is a Wheeler-Feynman world. Inside each of the copies, all events are already predetermined and have taken place. The internal rigidity of the structure is realized, as we have seen, by a double cause-and-effect relationship (two streams of causality).
What gives rise to the illusion of the flow of events? Two equal and, in fact, indistinguishable approaches are possible: the movement of the world line past the “stationary” consciousness, and the movement of consciousness along the world line. (These two equal points of view correspond to two concepts of time coexisting in the European tradition. The first is most clearly formulated in the special theory of relativity. Here, time is understood as that and only that which is shown by various kinds of clocks. Another approach is developed, for example, in the philosophical systems of A. Bergson, M. Heidegger... According to him, the experience of time (“temporality”) is a fundamental phenomenon of consciousness, one of the most important components of its essence).
But then a quantum leap can be explained not only as the “presentation” of one of the possible copies to the observer, but also as a shift of consciousness from one branch to another. It remains for us to add “very little”: to assume that consciousness is to some extent capable of influencing the direction of such a shift and it. so to speak, intensity .
Then psychokinesis can be interpreted not only as the influence of volitional effort on the course of objective events, but also as a purposeful movement within the “catalog of possibilities” to those copies that correspond to the desired outcome.
Then consciousness can be likened to a light particle carried away by a fluid flow: here the “natural course of things” corresponds to movement along laminar lines, and attempts to move from one trajectory to another must be accompanied by an impulse perpendicular to the flow. If such an impulse is small, the future is more or less predictable, but “volitional efforts” do not immediately lead to noticeable changes: the “catalog of the possible” is designed in such a way that copies form a continuous and fairly dense set, which means that only prolonged and unidirectional efforts can give results.
The authors are well aware that the model discussed here is very unorthodox, but it has, in our opinion, two important advantages. We have already discussed the first - the possibility of resolving the psychophysical paradox. Secondly, the so-called phenomenon of retroactivity finds a fairly natural explanation here. It can be considered as a type of psychokinesis, but in this case we are talking about influencing events that happened in the past!
8. The phenomenon of retroactivity. The possibility of a retroactive, that is, action reversed in time, is being discussed in connection with the works of G. Schmidt. Theoretical and experimental studies of the phenomenon began over two decades ago and continue to this day.
In 1971, G. Schmidt first staged an experiment, the outcome of which represents a daring challenge not only to the foundations of all modern science, but, it would seem, to common sense itself. Here's its diagram: a random event generator produces a sequence of binary numbers, say, zeros and ones, which are recorded on a punched tape or tape recorder. Both the generation and recording of the numerical sequence are performed automatically without the participation of an observer. According to the conditions of the experiment, no one has access to the data until they are presented to the subject in a situation of a psychokinetic experiment. A previously recorded but unknown random sequence is presented to the operator, for example, in the form of weak/strong clicks or flashes of red/green light. The task is to “use an effort of will” to ensure that the number of, say, strong clicks exceeds the weak ones.
In the control experiment, half of the previously recorded sequence is presented to the subject, while the second, which plays the role of background, is evaluated only by the computer. It is assumed that the control half should lack precisely those anomalous features of the distribution of random events that are observed in the affected part. This control test serves as proof of the existence of the effect. It also removes the hypothesis that the properties of a random sequence are known to the subject through extrasensory perception.
Common sense shows us that the efforts of the subject to obtain this or that excess, for example, the number of ones over the number of zeros, are doomed to failure in advance: after all, the events on which it depended on what the excess should be and whether it should be at all, have already taken place. This happened, for example, when the random number generator was turned on and the results of its work were recorded. Changing this decision that has already taken place is beyond human power...
Meanwhile, the image of physical reality drawn by quantum physics makes us, as we have already seen, doubt the absolute truth of a conclusion based on common sense - the problem of measurement in quantum mechanics and the possible role of the observer are the source of such doubts.
As we have emphasized, there is still no clear and simple answer to the question in which case the result of a random process can be considered valid: when it has already been registered macroscopically or only when the observer has made it part of his consciousness.
We see that thanks to the work of G. Schmidt, there is a chance to give this seemingly hopeless metaphysical question a very specific experimental meaning. A direct and obvious way to solve this problem arises: to try, through psychokinetic influences, to influence random processes, the outcome of which, from a classical point of view, has already been determined.
Schmidt realized that if Wigner’s interpretation of quantum theory is correct, then the results of psychokinetic influence on the target after its objective fixation can be no less successful than in traditional psychokinetic experience. Because even at this stage, nature has not yet made a decision about the outcome of random events.
Already in the first preliminary experiments carried out by G. Schmidt in 1971 at the Institute of Parapsychology (USA), results were obtained indicating the possibility of a psychokinetic effect on already registered numerical sequences. The research was continued the following year by two other researchers, who also obtained encouraging results. In these experiments, a random number generator produced a random sequence of numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4, recorded on punched tape, to which no one had access until the moment of psychokinetic influence. During the experiment, the subject (the “observer”) sat in front of a panel with four lamps, each of which corresponded to the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4. His task was to make the lamp corresponding to the number 4 flash more often than the other three lamps . The results of his “hits” on the target, that is, the flashing of the desired lamp, were recorded automatically.
One of the experimenters took as a test operator an operator who had previously shown good results in other psi tests. This subject, in tests with psychokinetic influence on already recorded sequences, having made 4100 attempts to turn on the desired lamp, managed to make lamp number 4 turn on 72 more times than would be expected according to probability theory. Meanwhile, a group of randomly selected subjects obtained only random results in 4,700 similar attempts. In both cases, the targets came from the same punched tape. The part of it that was not used in the experiments was then calculated on a computer, but no significant excess of the number 4 was found either.
Another experimenter, working according to the same scheme, but using another gifted subject, also obtained noteworthy results: out of 8930 attempts to light lamp number 4, 158 more were successful than should be according to probability theory.
In subsequent years, G. Schmidt developed and deepened his research: first at the Institute of Parapsychology, and since 1975 at the Mind Science Foundation. The basic design of the experiments remained unchanged; only the methods of presenting the target to the subject, the method of fixing the sequences, and some other conditions varied. G. Schmidt found that for psychokinetic effects it is not important whether the targets are generated simultaneously with the impact, or whether previously registered but unknown targets are subjected to such an effect.
Is it possible in this case to talk about absolute physical reality, independent of the “observer”? According to Wigner's interpretation of quantum theory, absolute physical reality as such does not exist; things become real only when they attract the attention of a human observer.
Then, in a psychokinetic experiment with pre-registered targets, the decision whether to be “heads” or “tails” is made not when the target is generated and these results are recorded, but only when the subject, having received a signal about the degree of success of his psychokinetic effort, sees "heads" or "tails".
What will happen if two subjects alternately act on the same pre-fixed sequence of targets? The experiment showed that the psychokinetic influence of the first subject - the “pre-observer” - blocks the same effort of the second subject.
Discussing the results obtained, G. Schmidt himself considers two hypotheses: the possibility of a psychokinetic effect reversed in time and Wigner’s concept of quantum collapse, leaning toward the second point of view.
It is clear that the results of G. Schmidt’s experiments also find a natural explanation in our model, since Everett’s approach can be considered as one of the specific implementations of Wigner’s general idea.
It is not possible to change the content of a film that has already been shot. No one is stopping us, however, from choosing a movie with a given content, because there are countless options. Then there is no fundamental difference according to what criterion - the correspondence of past and future events - the choice is made. Within one copy, events are not fundamentally different from each other, because the difference between the past and the future in the chains of causality is very conditional.
9. The problem of compliance. Time factor. It is clear that the model of the world considered here not only opens up the prospect of solving some questions, but also gives rise to many new ones. In this article we will not discuss them in detail, limiting ourselves to only the briefest comments.
The reader can first of all say that the picture we have drawn looks too fantastic. After all, not only in the scientific paradigm, but also from the position of normal common sense, consciousness and matter are completely autonomous entities.
It is clear to everyone that consciousness is a passive observer of what happens outside it. It's like a spectator sitting in a cinema hall. Here, the observed and the observer are separated by the space of the cinema hall, and are united only by the flow of photons from the projection apparatus. Only when the artistic level of the film is high enough can the illusion of complicity arise. However, this is a kind of trick, a mirage. Now the session is over, the lights come on in the hall, and the audience heads towards the exit, towards, so to speak, objective reality...
For a supporter of philosophical realism, this scheme is absolutely correct. For the authors, it is true, but only as a first and, perhaps, second approximation. When it comes to the third order, then it is appropriate to remember what we know from the field of parapsychology and quantum mechanical arguments, in short, what the article is about.
For the Eastern sage, we are all laymen, since the whole world is actually an illusion, “maya”, in other words, at some fundamental (and inaccessible to our understanding) level, the observed and the observer coincide.
How should we deal with this multiplicity of approaches? You can, of course, firmly take one of the extreme positions and maintain a perimeter defense. But I would like to have a broader view, in which all points of view find their rightful place.
Let us again reason by analogy. Is light a wave or a particle? - the answer to this question depends on the specific conditions of the experiment, that is, on the combination of certain parameters that determine which properties dominate. This means that for the issue we are discussing, it would be good to understand what factors are essential for choosing a reasonable position.
It can be assumed that, other things being equal, this parameter is time. There are no absolutely closed systems, but on the other hand, for two parts of a single system, you can specify a period of time during which they can be considered autonomous. The smaller the interval, the more accurate the “adiabatic approximation”.
The shorter the period of time under consideration, the more preferable the position of philosophical and physical realism. A very weak, but experimentally detectable dependence of the course of physical processes on consciousness can be found over a period of time, the characteristic scale of which is, for example, the duration of a series of experiments by Schmidt or Jahn and Dunne, that is, several months. The longer the period under consideration, the more true it is that consciousness is not only a passive observer, but increasingly, so to speak, the author of the script. Here, apparently, the scale is obviously greater than the time of a human life. It is not difficult to provide a lot of evidence in favor of the validity of such a view, but all of them will require us to go beyond the genre boundaries of the article. A reader familiar with the relevant literature can do this without difficulty.
10. Collective consciousness? If we assume that consciousness is an active participant in the formation of physical reality, a second problem inevitably arises. One of its manifestations is the famous “Wigner’s friend paradox.” Its essence is very simple: why do different observers, starting from different, so to speak, observation centers, deal with a common physical reality? A similar question arises in Everett's model of the world: can different observers be considered to exist on the same branch of the set of possible outcomes? It is clear that these and many similar questions must arise as soon as we move from the position of good physical realism to a model of the Wigner type.
There are several possibilities for solving this problem - we will point out two, in a certain sense, extremely different. The first may consist, for example, in the fact that the question posed in the Wigner paradox is interpreted in the spirit of quantum ideology, which does not have a direct experimental meaning and, therefore, is metaphysical. The second is to accept as a hypothesis that individual, seemingly autonomous consciousnesses are autonomous only within certain limits, but form parts of a certain unified field of consciousness. It is clear that this approach promises to explain a lot, although it goes far beyond the boundaries of not only physical theory, but also philosophizing based on natural scientific material. This train of thought, which is not entirely acceptable within the framework of a scientific article, is interesting in that it shows the points of greatest natural convergence of approaches growing out of the European scientific tradition and Eastern metaphysical concepts. Let's take a few more careful steps in this direction...
Everett's world is a world that has everything. But where there is everything, there is essentially nothing. The certainty, the uniqueness of the world, requires the existence of some kind of selecting or designing principle, dividing the entire world into the one that “is” and the one that could only be. This consciousness, commensurate with the “whole world,” is then the actual source of the time of the world and its laws. The movement of the world is the movement of this global consciousness (see also).
The endless leap from it to separate individual consciousnesses seems not so insurmountable if we assume that the abyss is by no means empty, but is filled with a descending current of consciousness.
Such internal kinship of individual consciousnesses allows us to understand why the worlds in which separate individual consciousnesses find themselves turn out to be parts of one big world.
Then the World in which we find ourselves with the whole complex of physical, astronomical, geometric, etc. and so on. laws, “initial and boundary conditions” - this is not only the result of the evolution of this world, but the result of movement along a certain trajectory of collective consciousness in the phase space of possible worlds.
11. Three programs. It becomes clear that parapsychology is not so much a doctrine of the “reserve capabilities of the human psyche” as a kind of experimental metaphysics, a source of unique information about the properties of the world as a whole.
In recent years, the efforts of outstanding theorists have been aimed at creating such a comprehensive model of the world in which the entire variety of laws of nature would be derived from a minimum number of universal postulates. The empirical basis here is mainly based on data from astrophysics and particle physics. The natural question is: can the future “Great Synthesis” be successful while ignoring the psychophysical problem?
Now few people doubt this - after all, the whole history, not only of physics, but of science as a whole, can serve as an extremely clear demonstration that such an approach is not only acceptable, but also fruitful. However, something else is clear: sooner or later its limitations must be revealed.
An isolated system, an absolutely rigid body, a flat space are completely legitimate concepts, but only within a certain range of problems. A universe in which there is no what we call consciousness is the same theoretical abstraction as all of those listed.
It is not difficult to understand why then the task of constructing a natural-scientific picture of the world in which matter and consciousness would form the same organic unity as fields in electrodynamics does not seem absurd. Currently, the ideological foundations of three relatively independent research programs have been formulated, for which the solution of this problem is, if not the main, then one of the promising goals.
The first is related to the direction implemented at the Maharishi International University. The second is represented by a series of theoretical and experimental works carried out at Princeton University under the leadership of R. Dzhan. And finally, the third is being developed as an essential part of research into spin-torsion interactions.
12. MIU program. A very extensive research program is being developed by a team of staff at Maharishi International University (MIU). It contains both theoretical and experimental aspects, each of which is very interesting.
Its ideological justification is most fully presented in numerous publications by D. Hegelin. Following the Vedic tradition, he proceeds from the thesis: just as all material objects are parts of a single physical substance, so various individual consciousnesses should be considered as manifestations of a single universal consciousness.
At the phenomenal level, matter and consciousness are contrastingly different in their properties, but nothing prevents us from postulating that at some fairly fundamental level they constitute a unity. Of course, this line of thought a priori may not raise any particular objections, if only because it has been developed more than once in numerous philosophical systems.
The originality of the approach developed by Hegelin lies in the assertion that the development of physics has reached a stage when the object of its research becomes ontological structures common to both the manifested, physical world and the plane of consciousness. According to, success in building a theory of consciousness can be ensured by identifying the simplest and most fundamental structures of consciousness, which, according to D. Hegelin, have a very precise correspondence to the physical structures of the laws of nature.
MIU employees believe that this approach can serve as a serious ideological and theoretical basis for a whole series of developments, not only in the field of physics, but also in a very wide range of scientific and social programs. We will note only one of these areas - attempts to influence the course of social processes through targeted collective meditation (the Maharishi effect).
The first such studies were conducted in the 70s, and they studied the dynamics of crime in 22 cities in the United States (with a population of about 25 thousand people). According to published reports, crime rates decreased in those 11 cities where a sufficient number (at least 1%) of residents practiced transcendental meditation. Meanwhile, in other cities (taken as control cities) it continued to grow. Subsequently, similar studies were undertaken on a larger scale, and the “objects of influence” were no longer individual cities, but entire countries and even groups of countries, and here too a positive effect was reported.
The reader may be surprised that the actions of such a small group of meditators can have a noticeable impact. Even if we believe that such an action is possible in principle, won’t it turn out to be similar to a weak radio signal against the background of noise interference many times greater than it?
An unexpected way out of the impasse was proposed by K. Drul (also an MIU employee). He recalled the phenomenon of superradiation, known in physics, in which the intensity emitted by coherent sources turns out to be proportional not to the first power, but to the square of the number of individual emitters. Thus, the Maharishi effect can be interpreted as a special kind of field effect of consciousness.
The key word here is coherence. It is already known from school optics that the nature of the radiation of two similar sources is fundamentally different from the superposition of emitters, the phases of which change chaotically. The greater the number of such sources, the more striking the contrast, and a clear example of this is laser radiation with a whole range of properties that are impossible for conventional sources. Apparently, during collective meditation, something like “laser focusing” occurs, the sharpness and effectiveness of which quickly (like No. 2) grows with the increase in the number of its participants.
13. Ecology of consciousness. Developing these ideas, we can hypothesize that the qualitative features of collective consciousness (in particular, the degree of its coherence, or, on the contrary, chaos) is not only a social, but also a special kind of physical factor that influences the course of spontaneous processes. Evidence of this may be a noticeable increase in seismic activity in zones of acute ethnic conflicts.
In this sense, society itself chooses (consciously or not) the world in which it then has to exist. Thus, the concept of ecology of consciousness with the whole complex of themes corresponding to the ecological approach arises very naturally. The limitations of the existing ecological approach also become clear, which requires a significant addition to the list of factors it considers: along with such traditional ones as air, water, etc., the state of collective consciousness turns out to be one of the key ones.
14. Quantum mechanics as a metalanguage. In a famous article, Jahn and Dunne proceed from the fact that “reality arises only as a result of the interaction of consciousness with its environment,” therefore both the conceptual apparatus and the formalism of quantum mechanics, which was originally intended to describe purely physical phenomena, turn out to be suitable for representing general characteristics of consciousness interacting with the environment. The general theoretical scheme looks like this: consciousness is modeled by the quantum mechanical Schrödinger function, its environment by the corresponding form of potential. Then the Schrödinger equation specifies eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, which are then interpreted as representations of the emotional and cognitive experience of the individual consciousness in this particular situation. According to the authors, in this context, a number of traditional topics of quantum mechanics (wave-particle dualism, the uncertainty principle, etc.) take on an unexpected and interesting meaning, describing the experience of collective and individual consciousness.
The basis of the proposed model was two impressive cycles of experiments in terms of volume and results, conducted by the authors over many years. The first cycle was a study of low-level psychokinesis using a variety of mechanical and electronic devices. It is very characteristic that for very different physical objects the results are very similar, which can serve as serious evidence of their fundamental nature.
The second array is represented by experiments on clairvoyance, and a significant part of them was carried out in the so-called precognitive version, when the perceiver registers his impressions of the target before it is presented to the agent, and in many cases even before choosing the target. It is noted that, within the accuracy of the experiment, no noticeable dependence on distance (up to intercontinental, several thousand miles) was found, which should have been observed with an information transfer mechanism associated with wave propagation. The authors also emphasize that there is no tangible dependence of the accuracy of perception on the time interval.
According to Jahn and Dunne, direct use of modern physical theory does not have much chance of success in explaining psi phenomena, although attempts to do so have been made repeatedly. A fundamental change in the research paradigm is needed. But such a conceptual shift requires a fundamentally new conceptual apparatus, which has not yet been created. Is there a way out of this impasse?
One of the possible ways is to expand the meaning of existing concepts. From the history of science one can cite many examples when such a seemingly purely semantic move turned out to be very fruitful (the closest to the topic under discussion is the “wave of probability”). But the use of a word in an unusually broad sense is a metaphor. Jahn and Dunne propose to consider quantum mechanics as a set of metaphors with the help of which one can try to give a systematic description of the phenomenon of consciousness.
Why is it not psychology and biology, but rather quantum mechanics, which is so distant in its original subject, that can serve as the basis for constructing models of psi phenomena? It would be wrong to think that the point here is only in the richness and universality of its mathematical apparatus - this circumstance, of course, is significant, but not the main thing.
Modern “sciences of living things” are still under the strong influence of the reductionist approach, as if continuing (and gradually overcoming) the ideological inertia of the last century. Meanwhile, the holistic approach was first most consistently and fruitfully implemented precisely in quantum mechanics, and, therefore, of the entire variety of modern scientific theories, it turned out to be the most prepared for the perception of the psi problem. Many signs of this can be pointed out - both very specific analogies between certain psi-phenomena and the so-called quantum non-locality, and a broader range of topics: parallels between Eastern mysticism and the quantum picture of the world. Therefore, quantum ideology begins to play a role as a kind of metalanguage, widely used beyond the original range of physical problems.
15. Torsion fields and psi phenomena. The idea of torsion as an object of physical theory first appeared in the famous work of E. Cartan. At the end of the fifties, attempts were made to construct a theory of gravity with torsion. T. Kibble and D. Shima pointed out a possible relationship between the torsion of space-time and its own angular momentum. An explosive growth in the number of publications followed the papers of Kopczynski and Trautman, who considered the cosmological consequences of the theory (elimination of the singularity). To date, many hundreds of papers have been published on this topic, and several competing approaches are actively being developed in the literature. The experimental status of the concept is based both on direct experiments indicating the macroscopic manifestation of torsion fields, and on a very extensive and diverse array of data, which can be interpreted as an illustration of the fundamental role of torsion in physical processes.
There is reason to believe that this concept may also be key to solving the psychophysical problem. This idea was first expressed by A.E. Akimov in his work. The hypothesis is developed in more detail in the article by A.E. Akimov and V.N. Bingi. In their opinion, individual consciousness is capable of changing the structure of space-time. Due to the effects of nonlinearity, such changes can create stable formations, that is, they can exist as a special kind of torsion phantom.
Simple reasoning will help to understand the fundamental feature of the torsion field, which is important for the issue under discussion. The sum of linear vectors is also a linear vector. Contemplating the vector, we cannot say which pair made it up or whether this pair existed at all. For rotation things are different. The sum of two rotations is not the third rotation. Figuratively speaking, the rotations do not die in their totality, but are preserved as individuals, and under some circumstances, information about the original components can be restored. This very important circumstance distinguishes the spin-torsion field from vector fields.
Then the possibility of a physical explanation opens up not only for the transmission of thoughts over a distance, clairvoyance, but also for such seemingly hopelessly “occult” phenomena as poltergeists, lifetime ghosts, etc.
According to G.I. Shipov, the version of vacuum he is developing has as its object an ontological level at which the physical and mental largely coincide. It is postulated that the basis of all known quantum fields is a certain primary torsion field, which is a set of elementary space-time vortices that do not have energy, but carry information.
In a famous article, G. Schmidt proposed a hypothesis according to which psi phenomena are associated with the collapse of the wave function. Subsequently, this idea was developed by O.C. de Beauregard in the context of ideas about the role of advanced potentials in the phenomenon of Einstein correlation. The possible role of the phenomenon of quantum nonlocality in psi-phenomena was discussed by us earlier in. More recently, it has been suggested that at least some manifestations of quantum nonlocality can be considered in the context of spin-torsion concepts and, in particular, experimental designs have been proposed to test the assumption that J-collapse is accompanied by a torsion perturbation. Thus, another aspect appears in which the hypothesis about the spin-torsion nature of psi phenomena can be specifically developed.
As we have seen, an essential element of the world model we proposed in paragraph 7 is the idea of the reality of advancing waves. Both components enter the formal apparatus of the theory symmetrically. If radiation of this type is absorbed strongly enough, then due to interaction with the matter of the Universe, the leading component disappears. The sufficiency criterion can be formulated, for example, as follows: if radiation emitted from a certain point has no chance of leaving the universe, then only delayed waves will be observed in this place. Otherwise, a leading component is also observed. Thus, the existence of the phenomenon of precognition may mean that there is some physical agent that has a leading component and, therefore, is absorbed by the matter of the Universe significantly weaker than the fields responsible for the four types of fundamental forces.
There are serious theoretical and experimental reasons to believe that such a mediator is the torsion field, since the mechanism of its interaction with matter differs significantly from, for example, the electromagnetic one. The results of previous experiments can also be interpreted as the presence of such a component. But this means that if the model of the world we considered in general terms corresponds to reality, its cause-time fabric has a torsion basis.
Concluding this brief review, which was not aimed at a comparative analysis of the features of the programs we examined, we will only note that there are no ideological obstacles to their further rapprochement and mutual influence. (In particular, the development of the topic of “ecology of consciousness” can serve as a common goal of such rapprochement).
We also point out that when new interactions appear in physics or, as they said in the last century, a new type of force, then at first this is perceived only as an addition to the already established picture of the world. However, in the end it turns out that this is not only the appearance of another character on the stage of physical interactions, but ultimately a radical change in the scene itself. Therefore, we can express cautious optimism that the development of spin-torsion concepts will lead to such a new understanding of the structure of the world, within the framework of which the psychophysical problem will receive a deeper understanding.
16. Conclusion. Does all of the above mean that the problem of consciousness and the physical world in the coming years has a chance to cease to be a topic only of philosophical speculation and will become one of the sections of normal (in the sense of T. Kuhn) science? As we have seen, there are certain grounds for an optimistic perspective, but, on the other hand, it would be important to understand why parapsychology and normal science are like two immiscible liquids, existing as if in two different dimensions.
The most common explanation is the low reliability and dubious value of parapsychological material. There is no doubt - many examples of gross methodological errors and self-deception can be given. But one cannot see otherwise: to date, a significant amount of work has been completed that satisfies the highest methodological scientific criteria. Thus, the common opinion that parapsychology lacks a serious experimental base is a kind of prejudice. The point here is rather the manifestation of a very simple objective law, let’s call it conventionally the “rule of assembly order.” Just as any complex mechanism consisting of a large number of parts allows only a limited number of ways to install it, so the process of achieving the “Great Synthesis” has critical points, stages, the sequence of which cannot be disrupted. First, the unification of electricity and magnetism, then optics as part of electrodynamics, then the theory of electroweak interactions, etc. - the sequence is determined not by historical circumstances, but by the structure of the world as a whole. Noticeable progress in psychophysics as a kind of analogue of electromagnetism should be expected only after physics itself is ready for such a synthesis. As for the, so to speak, subjective manifestations of this law, we still have no reason to expect any noticeable changes. The normal property of normal science is blindness to those facts that it cannot adapt. Here is the field of activity for long-known and well-developed mechanisms for repressing alien information along with its carriers. Only when the possibility of adaptation arises does the need for prohibition disappear and the grapes cease to be green.
If we talk about a more distant and preferable perspective, the authors cannot find anything better than to quote from the book of L.N. Tolstoy:
“Only a correct understanding of life gives due meaning and direction to science in general and to each science in particular, distributing them according to the importance of their significance in relation to life. If the understanding of life is not the same as it is embedded in all of us, then science itself will be false..
It is not what we call science that will determine life, but our concept of life will determine what should be recognized as science. And therefore, in order for science to be science, the question of what science is and what is not science must first be resolved, and for this the concept of life must be understood."
