Physics Is Not Beyond You; You Make It Matter
by Iona Miller, 2012
"Apparently in every sphere of human search and experience the mystery of the ultimate nature of being breaks into oxymoronic paradox, and the best that can be said of it has to be taken simply as metaphor—whether as particles and waves or as Apollo and Dionysus, pleasure and pain. Both in science and in poetry, the principal of the anagogical metaphor is thus recognized today; it is only from the pulpit and the press that one hears of truths and virtues definable in fixed terms." --Joseph Campbell, The Masks of God, Volume IV: Creative Mythology, p. 190
ABSTRACT: The most deconstructed archetypal forms are vortexes, toroids, solitons, gyres, and singularities. The most fundamental archetype of process is the Field. To claim the wave is unphysical and the particle is physical is a dated idea of the relation between mind and body. The quantum vacuum is a dynamic massless scalar field. Scalars are just active information; a hologram is pure information. Entanglement is a property of nonlocal quantum information exchange. The central spiral vortex crossover point (all adjoining toroidal fractal involved fields) is what physicists call a “twistor” or a “wormhole”. The underlying structure of the torus is the Vector Equilibrium, or “VE”. Buckminster Fuller called it the blueprint by which nature forms energy into matter. In a vortex "outer" coexists with "inner" in a dimensional morphing contorsion-continuum. This vortex energy modality of the fractal universes -- this fractal -- repeats in every manifestation, including the Earth (the Body), the Psyche, the Soul, the Spirit that are manifested in the 4 Elements of Earth / Water / Air / Fire and their Torus-Vortex interactions. Fuller's search for a geometry of vectors led him to the isotropic vector matrix. Vectors produce conceptual structural models of energy events. Scalar space is "multi-" rather than "three-dimensional." Vectors are directed in every possible direction, while deliberately maintaining equivalent lengths and angles. This equivalence is necessarily determined by the symmetry of space. Vector Equilibrium is the "zerophase" of energetic manifestation.

From a subjective point of view, both wave and particle are abstract concepts we subjectively apply to phenomena we personally experience, from the rainbow on a CD (wave) to the ticking of a Geiger counter (particle). Most of the subjective evidence for either comes from the wave aspect, as manifest in particle statistics, although we physically detect light as particles in the rhodopsin of our retinas. --Chris King

Seeds of Being
There are two complementary descriptions of reality, subjective and objective. Wave and particle are mental concepts in the subjective description and complementary objective features in the physical description. It is a fallacious spiritual-physicalism to claim the particle aspect is physical and the wave is not. The physical evidence for the wave aspect is as precisely manifest as the particle aspect. Every rainbow verifies this. We only know the particulate electron energy levels of the hydrogen atom from looking at a wave spectrograph and finding some frequencies are missing corresponding to the energies of electron orbit transitions in the hydrogen in space. This in turn is how we know the universe is expanding, from the red shift of these lines.
No quantum particle can exist with an energy and momentum without manifesting the wave aspects of frequency and wavelength. Some confuse the EM field and the wave aspect. The field is not the wave. The field can be described as a sea of virtual photons emerging from uncertainty, a few of which also briefly become virtual electron-positron pairs. If we feed energy into the EM field some of the virtual particles become real, as in a radio transmission.
Quantum electrodynamics describes the field in terms of an uncountable infinity of virtual particles propagated by a wave-theoretic Green's function, so although the field is described by particles, they propagate through wave spreading, resulting in a complementary description. To identify the field with electrons is a clunker showing how little physics the person actually understands. Electrons and all charged particles have the capacity to emit and absorb photons thus generating the EM field through the charge distribution. They are thus not the natural constituents (carriers) of the field. The photons, being uncharged, are likewise not generators. The weak force behaves a little differently because the carriers can also be generators.
The most deconstructed archetypal forms are vortexes, toroids, solitons, and singularities. The most fundamental archetype of process is the Field. The quantum vacuum is a dynamic massless scalar field. Scalars are just active information; a hologram is pure information. Entanglement is a property of nonlocal quantum information exchange. The central spiral vortex crossover point (all adjoining toroidal fractal involved fields) is what physicists call a “twistor” or “wormhole”.
The underlying structure of the torus is the Vector Equilibrium, or “VE”. Fuller called it the blueprint by which nature forms energy into matter – essentially an energy pump or transducer. Fuller's search for the geometry of vectors led him to the isotropic vector matrix. Vectors produce conceptual structural models of energy events. Scalar space is "multi-" rather than "three-dimensional." Vectors are directed in every possible direction, while deliberately maintaining equivalent lengths and angles. This equivalence is necessarily determined by the symmetry of space. Vector Equilibrium is the "zerophase" of energetic manifestation – the zerophase of the unified field. The vacuum, the source of organization, feeds all matter. The geometry of absolute equilibrium correlates with the vacuum in invisible flux. The Vector Equilibrium Matrix (VEM) is the archetypal seed of Being.
Absolute space structures matter through the geometry of space. Patterns in the vacuum substructure hold the form. In a vortex "outer" coexists with "inner" in a dimensional morphing contorsion-continuum. This vortex energy modality of the fractal universes, this fractal, repeats in every manifestation, including the Earth (the Body), the Psyche, the Soul, the Spirit. Space looks like nothing but is infinitely dense.
The virtual lattice matrix can be visualized as the transmission medium of light. Light does not travel as waves or particles from an emitter; rather, the lattice is vibrated by information emitted from hyperspace. This in-formation generates and carries the local ‘light’ signal through the four dimensional medium of timespace just as waves are transmitted through water molecules (or any other compressible fluid). Within the ‘zero point’ virtual field all potential particles are packed solid and ‘empty space’ resonates with vibrations.
Timespace is filled with virtual vortices – nebulous ‘vorticles’ of twisting timespace, not discrete particles – in a fluid crystal ‘luminiferous aether’. This is the zero-point field. The underlying information field’s transmission frequency within 4D realms (light speed) varies from location to location according to the energy density of the surrounding timespace lattice. The ’speed of light’ is not a fixed value, but varies according to the density of ‘matter’ or energy field through which it propagates.
The local frequency of timespace – and the local propagation speed of light – is determined by the spin rate (and relative diameters) of the vorticles themselves as they are compressed or expanded via the local field density, which is ultimately derived from hyperspatial fields. Light as we perceive it manifests only at the surface of material bodies, where standing waves interrupt and transduce a perpetual flow of multidimensional forms in formation.
Information is continually travelling throughout the cosmos at superluminal speeds but can only be physically viewed or measured using a yardstick made from local material. Light manifests to this yardstick at a specific frequency relative to its own density and that of the field which contains it, whether planetary, stellar or galactic. This yardstick will vary in length depending upon whether we are within the overarching fields of planet Earth, of another planet with differing field density, within the Sun’s atmosphere (the solar bubble which extends far beyond the orbit of Neptune/Pluto) or in interstellar timespace. The relative speed of light varies constantly, as do rates of time in relation to each other across the length and breadth of the lattice fabric. (Hermetic)
A signal is basically some information somehow encoded as a wave. Everything travels as a wave. Amplitude represents its strength or energy as it traverses time or distance. Frequency is the period at which waves cycle. The wavelength is basically the distance occupied by the wave period. Interacting waves can be added together in either the time or frequency domain. Universe is a self-generating Superhologram of infinite potential. Holographic systems can generate three-dimensional virtual images. The mathematical formulations that describe the harmonic curve resulting from the interference pattern of waves are called Fourier transformations. Projecting from a frequency domain of interfering waves, the holographic canvas plays patterns of light and transformation.
Crisscrossing patterns occur when two or more waves ripple through each other. In the transactional interpretation of quantum physics, waves of probability originate in the past, present and future. Events manifest when waves from past and future interfere with each other in the present. That pattern creates matter and energy. Universe emerges from the rippling effects of immense numbers of crisscrossing interference waves. The geometry of the fields is more fundamental than the fields or emergent particles themselves.
DNA functions in a way that correlates with holographic projection, translated from the electrodynamic to the molecular level. The virtual biohologram projected by the embryonic nervous system forms a three-dimensional pattern of resonant structures. These structures behave as acoustic waves, acting as field guides for flowing matter and energy. The holograms are “read” by an electromagnetic or acoustic field that carries the gene-wave information beyond the limits of the chromosome structure. The brain feeds on a field of cosmic noise.
The Philosopher’s Stone of infinite density condenses into visible space. All potential information about the Universe is holographically encoded in the spectrum of frequency patterns constantly bombarding us. There are no “things”, just energetic events – an electromagnetic universe, mind, and body, inseparable from wave upon waves in a veritable sea of panoramic noise. Noise correlates with movement and plays a cymatic role. Timelessness is the default mode of massively parallel noise. The sea of noise diffuses awareness across the entire vista.
Pribram’s neural wave equation, describing holographic neural network processing, is similar to the Schrödinger wave equation of quantum theory with the addition of the de Broglie-Bohm Quantum Potential. This is not coincidental and opens the possibility of holographic interaction between receptive fields in the cortex with the holographic quantum universe described by David Bohm. Thus, the brain is a “time machine”. Fluctuating states are a “sequence to noise ratio”.
While removed from empirical fact, a thought experiment is a means of employing useful imagination to uncover possible hidden mechanisms, to assemble a working model as a virtual reality visualization tool. In such an experiment with imagination instead of a test tube, we “downshift the quantum gear-box,” gathering intuitive possibilities, yielding insight into paradoxical timeless moments.
Carrier waves take shape inside and outside the brain, body and environment. Coherent signals are modulated from a sort of noisy electromagnetic fog. Feeding back such signals from the web of currents arising between the vacuum and our DNA produces serial sequence and standing waves, deepening continuous self-awareness. We are the source’s apprentice.
Vorticles appear to spin. Mass is manifested when vortexial structures appear from the matrix, slowed by a factor of local light speed and rotated into being by the presence of a standing wave to ‘create’ matter (in-phase rotating fields). Stroboscopic oscillations between nodes of these interlaced fields make up our material substance – ‘protons’, ‘electrons’, ‘neutrons’ – which are all really interlacing wave patterns, creating vorticles which oscillate in and out of phase with their surrounds.
In-phase fields produce apparent, regular 3D structures constructed of spinning vorticles of zero point aether. All of these transient or persistent shapes which underlie the apparent patterns of atoms can be inscribed within a sphere; a sphere is the geometrical inverse of a vortex. Those formations of vorticles which are internally symmetrical manifest as stable standing waves – matter. Others flip back into the infinite sea of potential, rotating back through other realms and dimensions.
Oscillating 3D structures with insufficient internal symmetry (parity) appear charged. Those which are internally symmetrical appear neutral. There are only five internally symmetrical solids but other non-Pythagorean arrangements also come into play in the manifestation of matter. The only possible arrangement that a sufficiently complex cluster of spinning vorticles or spheres can take without ‘grinding gears’ is located at the fourteen points of a virtual cube-octahedron – an arrangement that automatically arises from the underlying virtual tetrahedron field of timespace.
Rotations of potential (hyperspatial) fields through three dimensions at 45 degree angles stabilise 8-beat structures – cubes and octahedrons, which are the geometric inverse of each other. 36 degree rotations produce dodecahedrons and icosahedrons, another pair of geometrical complements.
All 14 vorticles in a dodecahedron or cube-octahedron (Vector Equilibrium) are aligned around a common field center. The dodecahedron’s 12 faces are centred on the 12 vertices of a truncated cube-octahedron. This perfect ’shot pattern’ – the optimal arrangement for spherical storage – includes an inner 13th sphere, or vorticle. A corresponding 13th vorticle – an ‘electron’ – orbits the dodecahedral proton (basic hydrogen).
When stripped of their orbiting vorticle, dodecahedra lose parity and cohesion, and within a packed vorticle field they commonly form hydrogen plasma. Their 13th & 14th (inner & orbiting) vorticles rotate perpendicularly to the polar field alignment facets (vectors derived from the primacy of spin) and manifest in situ as two of the fourteen vorticles that turn together in a mutually reinforcing circuit to form a neutron.
The interlacing of parity (in the cube-octahedral formation) and charge (in the dodecahedral formation) manifest material structures as they oscillate around the ‘ideal’ 13-sphere shot pattern of the truncated cube-octahedron. The dodecahedral pole of this standing wave pattern is the ‘proton’ and the cube-octahedral pole is the ‘neutron’.
The vorticles are all aligned to the centre of their virtual dodecahedral and cube-octahedral structures by virtue of simple geometrical constraints. The vorticles that comprise these shapes continuously flash from one arrangement to the other, forming interlaced protons and neutrons that are the nodes of a standing wave – matter. This affects the spins of all in-phase surrounding structures; thus matter is a self-referencing standing wave locked into the holographic medium of one local in-phase universe among infinitude parallel realms, all perpetually spinning into, through, and out of each other in a multiverse of probabilities. (Hermetic)
‘Electron flow’ – electricity – is another product of vorticle resonance; the transmission of information through a multidimensional fractal fluid hologram interfacing with resonating 4D standing waves. Magnetism is an effect of vorticle resonance on surrounding timespace flow – another artefact of symmetrical structures manifesting as alignments within an aether field.
These alignments also produce ‘gravity’ (See Magic Net). Virtual particles continually wink in and out of local existence. Within material fields – matter – it’s far easier for a virtual vorticle to manifest within a stable geometrical arrangement of other vortices and remain in the local timespace field. A vorticle is induced by simple geometrical constraints to move towards the greatest aggregation of other vorticles and find a stable place to occupy within their structure. Each potential vorticle is drawn into being and pulled through field-lines of progressively increasing interlacing as the common strongest local field centre is approached.
Virtual particles are continually manifesting and disappearing in our reality as adjacent realities twist through each other. Progressively more dense elements manifest more ‘matter’ within themselves than lighter elements or surrounding ‘space’ does. Gravity is a simple consequence of geometrical interactions that make it easier for energy/matter to condense from the aether in places where interlaced arrangements of atoms already exist – where ‘energy’ or ‘matter’ exists.
This explains the observation that the planet Earth is expanding at a rate of about an inch a year, and alters all premillennial conceptions of stellar formation and evolution. The interwoven harmonies of vibrating spheres at microcosmic and macrocosmic levels are the matrix of ‘reality. (Hermetic)

Metaphorms
Paradoxically when we look into the depths of matter, we look into the depths of ourselves and find the universe mirrored within. The world we live in lives in us. Scientists and mystics report similar phenomena in their models and phenomenology. Source feeds information into the brain's cortex through a variety of channels (genetic and memetic 'intraspecies' information transfers, then through interspecies' transfers under specified conditions (mirror neuron activation, intentional behavior, etc).
Religion and spirituality are largely about trying to understand the nature of consciousness in relation to the cosmos, so it is completely logical and natural to expect that we might actually come to understand the religious aspect of existence by following the conscious mind into its source nature.
Changes in brain dynamics are relevant to the discovery process. What appears to happen during an active quest in science or mysticism is that this filtering process is slightly loosened without seriously disrupting brain function, so that, in addition to witnessing the real world, we also have a degree of added perceptual information which is resonant to the brain state and probably consists of mild patterns of additional natural brain excitation traveling across the cortex. Arguably, such activity is patterned by archetypes.
This tends to be witnessed as a kaleidoscopic addition to everyday experience which one can look at and which is responsive to the person's state of focus so that they can selectively enter a kind of visionary state in which the brain is looking into its own processes to a greater degree than usual. Whether this reflects the divine is anyone's guess; it does reflect what has been attributed in the past to the "divine". But, those without a religious worldview also have experiences of similar nature to formative religious or spiritual dimensions – that is experience of the numinous element.
Spiritual technologies, the software of sacred penetration and amplification, virtually predicted the fine nature of matter as nothing but a complex illusion - what we have come to understand as a hologram. Though the map is not the territory, it is good for orientation purposes, and to compare amongst practitioners with different jargon. Mystics have also always emphasized the primal nature of Light, and claim that we are in fact made of light itself.
Science has confirmed this in numerous ways. Both science and mystics claim the primacy of Light. Nanoscale symmetry is reflected in both matter and the natural number sequence and is the tuning system of resonant nodes. The magnetic field tunes chains of spin. Tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. Their frequencies are in Phi ratios.
In the quantum world, everything is in self-organizing flux, including the subquantal virtual photons popping in and out of existence. The foamy Zero Point fluctuation of subspace perturbs and determines the behavior of quantum systems theoretically through radiant EM fields. Radiation is absorbed from the zero-point background. The stability of matter itself is mediated by the zero point fluctuation phenomena.
Obviously, physical reality is not absolute. The gist of the holographic paradigm is that there is a fundamental reality that is an invisible flux not comprised of parts, but an inseparable interconnectedness. The holographic paradigm is one of reciprocal enfolding and unfolding of patterns of information. All potential information about the universe is holographically encoded in the spectrum of frequency patterns constantly bombarding us.
The esoteric glossary is being superseded by scientific fact. Buckminster Fuller correctly discerned that One is not a number. His notion of the primacy of the Vector Equilibrium Matrix of twelve-around-one closest packed spheres models a cosmic pulsation at the smallest scale, revealing that unity or singularity is plural and at minimum sixfold. Such a notion is mirrored in sacred geometry and ancient systems of application such as the Merkabah, Diamond Body, and Golden Mean as engines of transformation. Those trapped in old superstitious emotional thinking (reality wormholes) exist trapped in an eddy in a stream, unable to imagine the flow of the current.
Zero-summed EM force vector systems stress the vacuum. A patterned system of opposite forces forms a stress in the vacuum medium. It is the alchemical "holding the tension of the opposites." This stress is oscillation. This oscillation which we call a scalar electromagnetic wave is a Gravitational Wave, since the local curvature of spacetime is being oscillated.
This internal stress in the medium has several characteristics which identify it as chaotic in essential nature.
1) it has a deterministic pattern or substructure;
2) it patterns or "polarizes" the vacuum;
3) it constitutes local curvature of spacetime
4) it deterministically engineers the virtual state and local spacetime;
5) it affects the Schroedinger wave and the probabilities of the states propagated forward, leading to the possibility of engineering the emergence of quantum change;
6) the scalar wave can accomplish direct and localized change of the rate of flow of time (even to its reversal) and variation of mass and inertia without translation of matter;
7) since excess negative time flow may be locally produced, negentropy may be locally produced. (Bearden)
When the vectorially zeroing components are dynamic, the scalar resultant is dynamic. The dynamic scalar term is the scalar EM wave. (Miller, "Anatomy of the Star Goddess", 1992). This is a revolution of resolution and resonance. Structure arises out of chaos in resonance with the existing environment. Each form eventually becomes morphogenetically dissonant as the dynamic environment surrounding it changes. The changed surroundings stress the form and begin a process of its dissolution back into chaos. Spacetime is a mirror of Spirit. Each self-aware image dissolves back into the primordial singularity, endlessly recycling its virtual energy in a kaleidoscope of holofractal forms. Degrees of resonance contexualize and memorialize experience at the informational level.
Holographic Archetypes
There is a pre-physical, unobservable domain of potentiality in quantum theory. It is the basis of fundamental interconnectedness and wholeness of Reality. The human body is not an object in space, but seamlessly welded to spacetime. We are not merely a phenomenal body of flesh, but one of awareness, of consciousness, a living interface of inner and outer field phenomena. The brain is not confined to our skull, but permeates our whole being through the intracellular matrix and sensory system, as well as the strong toroidal EM fields generated by the beating heart.
Our molecular system extends beyond the nervous system and is the bedrock of felt-sense, intuitive, subconscious and unconscious processes. The body has a mind of its own and speaks that mind in gut reactions, body language, dreams, psychosomatics, and literal symptoms. Jung suggested the gods have become diseases. That is, in our unconsciousness of them they have resorted to subverting our bodies in order to be responded to and heard. For example, our collective environmental issues become cancers.
Like psychic DNA, the collective unconscious contains "inherited" psychic material that links us not only to other humans in the present but also to our ancestors from the past. According to Jung's theory, though each of us appears to function independently, in actuality we're all tapped into the same global mind. Symbols interact with and condition our biohologram. Holographic archetypes are embedded in the very fabric of our being and that of our environment.
Archetypes are rooted in or emerge from the holographic source field as attractors, chaotic systems having fractal or reiterative structures that repeat at all levels of observation. They never settle into equilibrium, periodicity, or resonance. Transpersonal experience creates a new interpretation, or perspective on reality. Systems arise from positive feedback and amplification. Thus, archetypes introduce erratic behavior that leads to the emergence of new situations, including creative insight.
All the objects of our world are three-dimensional images formed of standing and moving waves by electromagnetic and nuclear processes. This is the guiding matrix for self-assembly, and manipulating and organizing physical reality. It is how our DNA creates and projects our psychophysical structure. Holograms contain many dimensions of “compressed” information in a subtle network of interacting frequencies.
The gist of the holographic paradigm is that there is a more fundamental reality. There is an invisible flux not comprised of parts, but an inseparable interconnectedness. The holographic paradigm is one of reciprocal enfolding and unfolding of patterns of information. All potential information about the universe is holographically encoded in the spectrum of frequency patterns constantly bombarding us.
Thus, the brain is an embedded hologram, interpreting a holographic universe. (Miller, Webb, Dickson, 1973) All existence consists of embedded holograms within holograms and their interrelatedness somehow gives rise to our existence and sensory images. (Bohm, 1980) When we consciously embody this intimate wisdom our bodies become temples of the living spirit. We supercharge our potential.
DNA functions in a way that correlates with holographic projection. The code is transformed into physical matter guided by light and sound signals. DNA projects a blueprint for the organism that is translated from the electrodynamic to the molecular level. Further, research strongly suggests DNA functions as a biocomputer. Gariaev described how this DNA-wave biocomputer reads and writes genetic code and forms holographic pre-images of biostructures. We are more fundamentally electromagnetic, rather than chemical beings. DNA is also influenced by the environment, so genetic plasticity is expressed in epigenetics and meta-genetics that turn certain gene sequences on and off.
The Collective Unconscious is essentially a hologram. Nonlocal consciousness is not confined to specific points in space, including brains or bodies, nor to the present moment. It is an ordering principle that can inject information into disorganized or random systems. It can operate beyond mere awareness, unconsciously, drawing on individual and collective consciousness, as well as the world or environment.
Symbols arise from and are embedded in the environment as holographic fields of energy. They are morphogenic veils of primal forces. If your brain acts like a self-contained hologram, it is possible your consciousness is actually a piece of a much larger hologram of overall human consciousness. Jung noticed that patterns spontaneously appear over and over around the world. They also appear as our Ancestral Memories or holographic wisdom field.
In the archetypal world, everyone is the same, all around the world... we are all Gods, and our emotional addictions to pain and suffering, contempt, insecurities, doubt, failure, is holographically-recorded and can be holographically healed. All archetypes are a form of human expression that is both holographic and physical. Physical formations of archetypal sequences cause humans to behave in parallel manners to each ancestor that is associated.
Integration is a function of intentionality -- conscious and unconsciously maintained, or incorporated. Integration occurs both without effort, as a redesign of the central processor of our minds, and voluntarily as a deliberate effort to understand, find meaning, and as rectification of our behavior towards others and towards ourselves.
Imagination is structured by the archetypal potentials of the unconscious. Archetypes structure the possibility to generate and entertain such ideas. The archetype itself cannot be known but structures everything we come to know. Their totality functions as a psychic organ. Universal themes appear in distinct cultural garb.
Over millennia, all the archetypes emerged and recycled in stories, deities and cultural forms. One of the striking points of religious faith is that they aren't true. In early history people didn't know the ‘real' reasons things happened, so it's no surprise that their explanations were wrong. But then, why would we want to retrieve such superstitions?
Kuhn reminds us that even the most absurd or confused explanation of a phenomenon can find acceptance in the absence of a competing idea. Social networking feeds us stupefyingly moronic ideas. Once any explanation is offered for a phenomenon, many take that as an explanation from that time on. Succeeding speculations might be able to explain the relevant phenomena better than its predecessors. Deities, as archetypal role models, are the opening gambit in the drama of understanding human subjectivity. Folk tales and fads function the same way.
Deities or archetypes may have evolved to smooth interpersonal relations by including an understanding of human types, along with rules for helping the different types relate with one another. They are reflections of ancient evolutionary pressures, with a dash of neuroanatomy. We still have the same pressures today so the ancient archetypes still "work", regardless of objective existence of gods and goddesses. (Miller, Pantheon)
Burke (2003) describes how the underlying pattern or strange attraction between transference and holography extends to other processes both within and outside the field of psychology. Such processes include projection, projective identification, splitting, memory, biology, creative discovery, theology, synchronicity, chaos, and nonlocality. Identifying the similar patterns of these processes demonstrates the existence of an underlying holographic archetype in which essential qualities of the whole are present in each of the parts of the whole. The autonomy of the overall human is present in each conscious and unconscious component part of the human psyche.
Synchronicity explores the borderland between meaning and spacetime, where chance meets necessity, when external and internal circumstances align in meaningful coincidence. It links the observable and unknowable, the effect of the particular and specific with the universal. In this nonlocal effect, certain qualities manifest relatively simultaneously in different or proximate places. It is a parallelism that cannot be explained causally. Is it an invisible field effect linking multidimensional spaces?
Cognition, itself is a holographic archetype. Many essential qualities of the whole are reflected or contained in each of the parts that make up that whole. It is a subtle net of metaphor, analogy and simile. Holographic archetypes effectively echo their resonant patterns through literal and symbolic reflectaphors. The passing forms of the holographic archetype include the hologram, psychic structure, synchronicity, wisdom traditions, memory, the process of scientific discovery, chaos in physics, nonlocality and virtuality in physics.
As unconscious structuring principle, the archetype lies beyond normal consciousness and emerges suddenly and dynamically from the (holographic) psychoid field, with a powerful emotional charge that invests it with significance. Everything that happens is conditioned by the moment in which it happens. The universal field imposes the conditions. Matter is not inert but receptive to holistic patterning. If the mythic world taught our ancestors how to manipulate the empirical world, it also taught them to manipulate that mythic narrative itself for control purposes. Socioeconomic power enforces its mythic narrative.
Psychoid Field
Consciousness rests upon and is organized by its archetypal forms and foundations. Dig far enough into an intense inner experience and you eventually come to the mythological, ageless themes that indicate an activated archetype. Just as an instinct is activated by a certain situation it bears an image of, so is an archetype. Also, its psychoid base puts it beyond both matter and psyche, though it has qualities of both. Although archetypes are energic power sources, they need libido from the ego for their images to rise into consciousness.
The psychoid field imposes holistic function. Autonomous inner forces arouse compelling opportunities to enact archetypal behaviors. They guide our perceptions and behavior, usually without our awareness. Limbic action of complexes is a big part of the holistic dynamics of the psyche. Dreams report what goes on beneath the veil of conscious awareness. To the consciousness of the 'thinker', knowledge is thought -- period. Without thought, the consciousness of the 'thinker' collapses into psychosis.
With archetypes come the potential for wisdom, relatedness, sociality, ambiguity, paranoia, projection, identification, denial, inflation, subpersonalities (fragmentation), defensiveness, obsession, hypnotic dissociation, the contagion of participation mystique, mythologizing, complexes, compensation, phobias, prejudices, complexes (interference by an archetype or group of archetypes with the conscious personality), our runaway ego-trips, and self-delusion. Compensation may calm or disturb consciousness.
There is no imperative for the ego to integrate these alternative perspectives, private and public myths. They continually play through us, stimulating beliefs, ideas, emotions and behavior. The unconscious can produce deep wisdom and utter nonsense. It is up to the ego to discriminate. The value of myths is purely heuristic, not pragmatic. Mythological consciousness has a persona, cultural and archetypal dimension that manifests in dreams, fantasies, delusion and visions.
Truth is a revelation of what we already know but haven’t heard in words before. In truth we discover what we already know but haven’t confronted. Truth as a judgment is the product of our experience. In our belief systems, truth is what we accept of our history, what we accept as truth. We choose truth, which is revealed in direct proportion to our ability to discard all we were previously told is true - presumptions, assumed truths, limited self image.
The Archetypal Field
The closer we come to the deep core of any archetypal experience the more the numinous effect increases, as a confrontation with a power not of this world. The fusional field is invisible to normal perception but contains a roiling unprocessed information. The fusional complex is an archetypal pattern that organizes life between the known and the unknown. We rarely attend to the deep experiential field we experience with another person in our bodies.
Often, we tend to avoid it as the dreaded traumatic state of fear of the void, a nothingness, a bottomless pit, or demonic force -- the instabilities in ourself or another or the boundless inchoate flux of impossible opposites. Cultures are also susceptible to it at the collective level. It is a constant companion in the creative as well as spiritual transformative life.
The embodiment of any new form of consciousness and its associated self image comes in this challenging manner. But such powerlessness and nothingness is the anxiety-provoking inexorable pull of the void, which leads to dissociation as a defense against letting go. Attempts to meet the chaos, rather than dissociate lead to change. Even when the numinous is negative it carries the sacredness of the archetype. We learn to lean into the field and feel its chaos without imposing premature order.
The field is a paradox of fusion and distance, an impossible simultaneity that brings anxiety. We need to practice seeing the field, as well as seeing into and through it. It is never conveyed by interpretation, but only by experiential perception. Non-ordinary perception evolves through kinesthetic perception. It calms the chaos of the transition and allows the new self to emerge as a living reality. We have to maintain faith in the process. Movement from the timeless into temporal existence is a creative passage. With a sense of containment within a higher dimensional field, the opposites reconcile and new potential is created. The field becomes the focus.
Scientific Archetypes
Generic mathematical models, such as those of general systems, dissipative structures, bifurcation, fractals, chaos, and singularity can be applied in many contexts, and can be considered high level archetypes. This means that they have considerable abstraction. It spans a large rather than small portion of space-time, and that incorporates many rather than few dimensions of existence. It follows that a truly unified theory across all realms would incorporate high-level archetypes. This might occur within the realm of physics and then be generalized, or it could come from the search for unities across disciplines.
Mind, consciousness, and awareness are so central to the process of reality, perhaps they are the very reason for reality. Concepts of matter, life, and mind have undergone major changes. Consciousness is not a material system and neither is Quantum Mechanics (QM), which reduces all information and energy down to its fundamental holographic nature. As energy flows, information is coherently organized into animated forms of information. Though we have assumptions and beliefs, we remain unsure of the primordial nature of reality.
Simply stated, it is impossible to take the 'meta' out of physics since it is impossible to take the observer out of physics. It is impossible to take the knower out of knowledge. All metaphysical discussions are inherently about the nature of the observer and the knower. There is no physical theory of the observer because consciousness cannot be explained physically. Everything our physical theories of the observable world describe is some physical thing observed by an observer. (Kowall)
Kowall explains that he observer is inherent in our most basic scientific principles, like the principle of equivalence. All the scientific debate about the correct interpretation of quantum theory is about the nature of observation. Both physics and metaphysics place the observer at the center of this discussion. That hyper-physical world of images demands of us that we inquire into the nature of the consciousness of the observer present at that focal point of perception. The holographic nature of the world describes at the most fundamental level possible how all information and energy is encoded in the world. But what does that fundamental description of the world tell us about the fundamental nature of consciousness? The nature of the consciousness perceiving that holographic world remains a mystery.
The key insight of the holographic principle is that an accelerating frame of reference, with an observer present at the central point of view, can arise even within empty space. As the observer arises, an event horizon also arises, which is a far as the observer can see things in space due to the constancy of the speed of light (Penrose 2005). Where does the point of view of the observer arise? Where does the two dimensional surface of the event horizon arise? They both arise in empty space. (Kowall)
Scientists have shown that the brain runs largely on autopilot; it acts first and asks questions later, often explaining behavior after the fact. If much of behavior is automatic, then how responsible are people for their actions? These are among the concerns of neuroscientist Dr. Michael S. Gazzaniga in his new book, Who’s in Charge? Free Will and the Science of the Brain. The brain is a cacophony of competing voices. “The question, ultimately, was why?” Dr. Gazzaniga said. “Why, if we have these separate systems, is it that the brain has a sense of unity?”
Brain images are snapshots, for one thing; they capture a brain state at only one moment in time and say nothing about its function before or after. For another, the images vary widely among people with healthy brains -- that is, a “high” level of activity in one person may be normal in another. Can brain science tell exactly where automatic processes end and self-directed “responsible” ones end? Not now and not likely ever, Dr. Gazzaniga argues in his book. Social constructs like good judgment and free will are even further removed, and trying to define them in terms of biological processes is, in the end, a fool’s game.
Science has its own archetypal fascinations, expressed in theories and models. There is no consensus in physics. The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (QM) competes with Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), Holographic, Monistic Idealism, Transactional, Post-Quantum, Scalar, Many Worlds (MWI), Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD), String and M-Theory, among others. The secret of Reality may lie in the reconciliation of quantum cosmology, aligning micro-and macroverses. Quantum chaos plays a crucial role in cosmology as choas theory and complexity do in biological systems.
The idea of many worlds, many realities, many dreams appears already in Chinese and Indian texts. Everett cites the well known "garden of forking path" from Borges. It is an ancestral theme of humanity, which comes easily to the mind when you remember your dreams. To really know how the brain works, neuroanatomy is the best guide. Psychological descriptions got us started, but a fundamental map and understanding require a deeper biological foundation and questioning our assumed truths.
We remain immersed within the interface of psyche and matter -- that point where psyche matters. As in chaos theory, all the creative action is at the boundary of any field, the creative threshold, the leading edge. All contemporary models [Transactional (quantum handshake), Many-Worlds (decoherence), M-Theory (strings), Copenhagen (wave-function collapse), Holographic (frequency domain; resolution), Implicate (hidden information), etc], E8, and Torsion Physics (Kozyrov) are essentially philosophical, or colored by the psyche and philosophy of their originators. Imagination has to cross the boundaries of disciplines to somehow find links between the observable and unknowable. With gravity, time and spin, matter and psyche are in a constant state of redefinition.
String theory is facing a high noon with the absence of evidence for supersymmetry in the LHC, where none of the expected evidence for it has been forthcoming to date. String theories began bosonic and then included fermions by citing supersymmetry. Thus all fermionic string theories appear to be supersymmetric. Supersymmetry perfectly balances the energy infinity of the bosons against the negative energy infinity of the fermions by claiming a fermion partner for each boson, but the standard model doesn't look anything like supersymmetric. An alternative is that there are different numbers and arrangements of fermions that still balance the numbers and arrangements of the bosons, but this is right outside the string theory orbit at present. (King, 2011)
Physicist Brian Greene, in a PBS show "The Fabric of the Cosmos" on the nature of space, recently let us in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe—that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists -- just might be wrong. Greene reveals space as a dynamic fabric that can stretch, twist, warp, and ripple under the influence of gravity. Space, far from being empty, is filled with some of the deepest mysteries of our time.
The unexplored microcosm of the Ground-state, the universe of the subquantal domain, may be the key to higher consciousness. The vacuum of Absolute Space is the central ingredient of 21st-century physics. It is the space between particles, inside and outside the atom. You breathe air that carries the vacuum between its molecules. It is technically metaphysical (nonobservable) -- beyond the realm of physics because it is virtual, rather than manifest. Paradoxically, the vacuum is both the absence of matter and the universal substance.
We still don't know where consciousness fits in the big picture. There is no consensus among theories of what constitutes FIGURE and what constitutes the most fundamental GROUND, and it seems they share the same essential nature. Our perceived ‘content’ is not distinct from the ‘context’ in which it arises. It is one whole cloth of bubbling space-time. Nothing more, nor less. We have looked into the Abyss of spacetime and found it laughing back. The core task is answering "What is consciousness? ", and having that answer also fit with and support questions and developed answers (descriptions) on "What is matter?" and "What is energy?". Clearly, the task is to settle on a new common denominator that unites the other aspects and elements.
There is the subject that is conscious and then there is the object of consciousness. If there were no object of consciousness, would there be a consciousness? A consciousness of nothing? Arthur Kornberg discusses DNA in his book "DNA Replication" (pg.13).
"The most important feature of the duplex model for DNA structure is the introduction of the principle of complimentarity. It provided the explanation for accurate replication of a very long chain. This inherent feature of DNA is the basis not only of its replication but also of its capacity to transmit information. Complementarity has come to explain transcription and translation and thus the entire sequence of events in the expression of genetic functions. It is also the basis for exchange of DNA segments between chromosomes in several forms of recombination." Does the rest of the body follows DNA? As a matter of fact is there anything which combines with anything without an entity bringing the pair together".
Archetypes are similar to the genetic code, in that they initially create a structural outline (as in morphogenetic fields and other attractors). The influences of environment and consciousness can then create considerable variation and coloring to the essential structure. Our desires become our talents, our thoughts become our direction, and the power of our purposeful will become our destiny. The spiritual ideal is always there, becoming clearer to us in the later stages of development.
Pitkanin & Gariaev suggest, frequency coding would be natural for quantum antenna interactions between ordinary DNA and its dark variant and also between dark variants of DNA, RNA, tRNA, and amino-acids. The reason is that dark nucleons represent the genetic code by entanglement and it is not possible to reduce the codon to a sequence of letters.
Ervin Laszlo points out regarding the finest level of observation, that because of “the quantum vacuum, the energy sea that underlies all of spacetime, it is no longer warranted to view matter as primary and space as secondary. It is to space or rather, to the cosmically extended "Dirac-sea" of the vacuum that we should grant primary reality.” Virtual particles pop in and out of existence like quantum foam. Mass is the consequence of interactions in the depth of this universal field. There is only this absolute matter-generating subquantal field.
Physicist, David Bohm believed all matter is unfolded out of what he eventually described as a holomovement, which meant that matter could also enfold and so return into the holomovement. Bohm considered quantum mechanics to be a process of unfolding and enfolding. He imagined the universe as an infinite sea of space and energy out of which matter could be unfolded, which he called explicating, and enfolded which he called implicating, which, in Bohm’s words, “together are a flowing, undivided wholeness".
The whole universe of space and time is enfolded into each part. A fundamental order of potential energy enfolds space and time. There is hidden energy in these enfolded dimensions -- a unity of space, time and meaning potential. Scalars are time-reversed waves. The infolded (negative) time dimension of virtual photon flux (hyperspace) is zero-point. Time in physics can be interpreted as an archetype for all material objects. You can not grab a piece of time and hold it; it is everywhere but nowhere. Materiality in the physical world eventually unfolds and enfolds at all scales. Archetypes share this holographic enfolding and unfolding nature. At least, they can be modelled as such.
Paradoxically when we look into the depths of matter, we look into the depths of ourselves and find the universe mirrored within. The world we live in lives in us. Scientists and mystics report similar phenomena in their models and phenomenology. Source feeds information into the brain's cortex through a variety of channels (genetic and memetic 'intraspecies' information transfers, then through interspecies' transfers under specified conditions (mirror neuron activation, intentional behavior, etc).
Religion and spirituality are largely about trying to understand the nature of consciousness in relation to the cosmos, so it is completely logical and natural to expect that we might actually come to understand the religious aspect of existence by following the conscious mind into its source nature.
Changes in brain dynamics are relevant to the discovery process. What appears to happen during an active quest in science or mysticism is that this filtering process is slightly loosened without seriously disrupting brain function, so that, in addition to witnessing the real world, we also have a degree of added perceptual information which is resonant to the brain state and probably consists of mild patterns of additional natural brain excitation traveling across the cortex. Arguably, such activity is patterned by archetypes.
This tends to be witnessed as a kaleidoscopic addition to everyday experience which one can look at and which is responsive to the person's state of focus so that they can selectively enter a kind of visionary state in which the brain is looking into its own processes to a greater degree than usual. Whether this reflects the divine is anyone's guess; it does reflect what has been attributed in the past to the "divine". But, those without a religious worldview also have experiences of similar nature to formative religious or spiritual dimensions – that is experience of the numinous element.
Spiritual technologies, the software of sacred penetration and amplification, virtually predicted the fine nature of matter as nothing but a complex illusion - what we have come to understand as a hologram. Though the map is not the territory, it is good for orientation purposes, and to compare amongst practitioners with different jargon. Mystics have also always emphasized the primal nature of Light, and claim that we are in fact made of light itself.
Science has confirmed this in numerous ways. Both science and mystics claim the primacy of Light. Nanoscale symmetry is reflected in both matter and the natural number sequence and is the tuning system of resonant nodes. The magnetic field tunes chains of spin. Tension comes from the interaction between spins causing them to magnetically resonate. Their frequencies are in Phi ratios.
In the quantum world, everything is in self-organizing flux, including the subquantal virtual photons popping in and out of existence. The foamy Zero Point fluctuation of subspace perturbs and determines the behavior of quantum systems theoretically through radiant EM fields. Radiation is absorbed from the zero-point background. The stability of matter itself is mediated by the zero point fluctuation phenomena.
Obviously, physical reality is not absolute. The gist of the holographic paradigm is that there is a fundamental reality that is an invisible flux not comprised of parts, but an inseparable interconnectedness. The holographic paradigm is one of reciprocal enfolding and unfolding of patterns of information. All potential information about the universe is holographically encoded in the spectrum of frequency patterns constantly bombarding us.
The esoteric glossary is being superseded by scientific fact. Buckminster Fuller correctly discerned that One is not a number. His notion of the primacy of the Vector Equilibrium Matrix of twelve-around-one closest packed spheres models a cosmic pulsation at the smallest scale, revealing that unity or singularity is plural and at minimum sixfold. Such a notion is mirrored in sacred geometry and ancient systems of application such as the Merkabah, Diamond Body, and Golden Mean as engines of transformation. Those trapped in old superstitious emotional thinking (reality wormholes) exist trapped in an eddy in a stream, unable to imagine the flow of the current.
Zero-summed EM force vector systems stress the vacuum. A patterned system of opposite forces forms a stress in the vacuum medium. It is the alchemical "holding the tension of the opposites." This stress is oscillation. This oscillation which we call a scalar electromagnetic wave is a Gravitational Wave, since the local curvature of spacetime is being oscillated.
This internal stress in the medium has several characteristics which identify it as chaotic in essential nature.
1) it has a deterministic pattern or substructure;
2) it patterns or "polarizes" the vacuum;
3) it constitutes local curvature of spacetime
4) it deterministically engineers the virtual state and local spacetime;
5) it affects the Schroedinger wave and the probabilities of the states propagated forward, leading to the possibility of engineering the emergence of quantum change;
6) the scalar wave can accomplish direct and localized change of the rate of flow of time (even to its reversal) and variation of mass and inertia without translation of matter;
7) since excess negative time flow may be locally produced, negentropy may be locally produced. (Bearden)
When the vectorially zeroing components are dynamic, the scalar resultant is dynamic. The dynamic scalar term is the scalar EM wave. (Miller, "Anatomy of the Star Goddess", 1992). This is a revolution of resolution and resonance. Structure arises out of chaos in resonance with the existing environment. Each form eventually becomes morphogenetically dissonant as the dynamic environment surrounding it changes. The changed surroundings stress the form and begin a process of its dissolution back into chaos. Spacetime is a mirror of Spirit. Each self-aware image dissolves back into the primordial singularity, endlessly recycling its virtual energy in a kaleidoscope of holofractal forms. Degrees of resonance contexualize and memorialize experience at the informational level.
Holographic Archetypes
There is a pre-physical, unobservable domain of potentiality in quantum theory. It is the basis of fundamental interconnectedness and wholeness of Reality. The human body is not an object in space, but seamlessly welded to spacetime. We are not merely a phenomenal body of flesh, but one of awareness, of consciousness, a living interface of inner and outer field phenomena. The brain is not confined to our skull, but permeates our whole being through the intracellular matrix and sensory system, as well as the strong toroidal EM fields generated by the beating heart.

Burke (2003) describes how the underlying pattern or strange attraction between transference and holography extends to other processes both within and outside the field of psychology. Such processes include projection, projective identification, splitting, memory, biology, creative discovery, theology, synchronicity, chaos, and nonlocality. Identifying the similar patterns of these processes demonstrates the existence of an underlying holographic archetype in which essential qualities of the whole are present in each of the parts of the whole. The autonomy of the overall human is present in each conscious and unconscious component part of the human psyche.
Synchronicity explores the borderland between meaning and spacetime, where chance meets necessity, when external and internal circumstances align in meaningful coincidence. It links the observable and unknowable, the effect of the particular and specific with the universal. In this nonlocal effect, certain qualities manifest relatively simultaneously in different or proximate places. It is a parallelism that cannot be explained causally. Is it an invisible field effect linking multidimensional spaces?
Cognition, itself is a holographic archetype. Many essential qualities of the whole are reflected or contained in each of the parts that make up that whole. It is a subtle net of metaphor, analogy and simile. Holographic archetypes effectively echo their resonant patterns through literal and symbolic reflectaphors. The passing forms of the holographic archetype include the hologram, psychic structure, synchronicity, wisdom traditions, memory, the process of scientific discovery, chaos in physics, nonlocality and virtuality in physics.
As unconscious structuring principle, the archetype lies beyond normal consciousness and emerges suddenly and dynamically from the (holographic) psychoid field, with a powerful emotional charge that invests it with significance. Everything that happens is conditioned by the moment in which it happens. The universal field imposes the conditions. Matter is not inert but receptive to holistic patterning. If the mythic world taught our ancestors how to manipulate the empirical world, it also taught them to manipulate that mythic narrative itself for control purposes. Socioeconomic power enforces its mythic narrative.
Psychoid Field
Consciousness rests upon and is organized by its archetypal forms and foundations. Dig far enough into an intense inner experience and you eventually come to the mythological, ageless themes that indicate an activated archetype. Just as an instinct is activated by a certain situation it bears an image of, so is an archetype. Also, its psychoid base puts it beyond both matter and psyche, though it has qualities of both. Although archetypes are energic power sources, they need libido from the ego for their images to rise into consciousness.
The psychoid field imposes holistic function. Autonomous inner forces arouse compelling opportunities to enact archetypal behaviors. They guide our perceptions and behavior, usually without our awareness. Limbic action of complexes is a big part of the holistic dynamics of the psyche. Dreams report what goes on beneath the veil of conscious awareness. To the consciousness of the 'thinker', knowledge is thought -- period. Without thought, the consciousness of the 'thinker' collapses into psychosis.
With archetypes come the potential for wisdom, relatedness, sociality, ambiguity, paranoia, projection, identification, denial, inflation, subpersonalities (fragmentation), defensiveness, obsession, hypnotic dissociation, the contagion of participation mystique, mythologizing, complexes, compensation, phobias, prejudices, complexes (interference by an archetype or group of archetypes with the conscious personality), our runaway ego-trips, and self-delusion. Compensation may calm or disturb consciousness.
There is no imperative for the ego to integrate these alternative perspectives, private and public myths. They continually play through us, stimulating beliefs, ideas, emotions and behavior. The unconscious can produce deep wisdom and utter nonsense. It is up to the ego to discriminate. The value of myths is purely heuristic, not pragmatic. Mythological consciousness has a persona, cultural and archetypal dimension that manifests in dreams, fantasies, delusion and visions.
Truth is a revelation of what we already know but haven’t heard in words before. In truth we discover what we already know but haven’t confronted. Truth as a judgment is the product of our experience. In our belief systems, truth is what we accept of our history, what we accept as truth. We choose truth, which is revealed in direct proportion to our ability to discard all we were previously told is true - presumptions, assumed truths, limited self image.
The Archetypal Field
The closer we come to the deep core of any archetypal experience the more the numinous effect increases, as a confrontation with a power not of this world. The fusional field is invisible to normal perception but contains a roiling unprocessed information. The fusional complex is an archetypal pattern that organizes life between the known and the unknown. We rarely attend to the deep experiential field we experience with another person in our bodies.
Often, we tend to avoid it as the dreaded traumatic state of fear of the void, a nothingness, a bottomless pit, or demonic force -- the instabilities in ourself or another or the boundless inchoate flux of impossible opposites. Cultures are also susceptible to it at the collective level. It is a constant companion in the creative as well as spiritual transformative life.
The embodiment of any new form of consciousness and its associated self image comes in this challenging manner. But such powerlessness and nothingness is the anxiety-provoking inexorable pull of the void, which leads to dissociation as a defense against letting go. Attempts to meet the chaos, rather than dissociate lead to change. Even when the numinous is negative it carries the sacredness of the archetype. We learn to lean into the field and feel its chaos without imposing premature order.
The field is a paradox of fusion and distance, an impossible simultaneity that brings anxiety. We need to practice seeing the field, as well as seeing into and through it. It is never conveyed by interpretation, but only by experiential perception. Non-ordinary perception evolves through kinesthetic perception. It calms the chaos of the transition and allows the new self to emerge as a living reality. We have to maintain faith in the process. Movement from the timeless into temporal existence is a creative passage. With a sense of containment within a higher dimensional field, the opposites reconcile and new potential is created. The field becomes the focus.
Scientific Archetypes
Generic mathematical models, such as those of general systems, dissipative structures, bifurcation, fractals, chaos, and singularity can be applied in many contexts, and can be considered high level archetypes. This means that they have considerable abstraction. It spans a large rather than small portion of space-time, and that incorporates many rather than few dimensions of existence. It follows that a truly unified theory across all realms would incorporate high-level archetypes. This might occur within the realm of physics and then be generalized, or it could come from the search for unities across disciplines.
Mind, consciousness, and awareness are so central to the process of reality, perhaps they are the very reason for reality. Concepts of matter, life, and mind have undergone major changes. Consciousness is not a material system and neither is Quantum Mechanics (QM), which reduces all information and energy down to its fundamental holographic nature. As energy flows, information is coherently organized into animated forms of information. Though we have assumptions and beliefs, we remain unsure of the primordial nature of reality.
Simply stated, it is impossible to take the 'meta' out of physics since it is impossible to take the observer out of physics. It is impossible to take the knower out of knowledge. All metaphysical discussions are inherently about the nature of the observer and the knower. There is no physical theory of the observer because consciousness cannot be explained physically. Everything our physical theories of the observable world describe is some physical thing observed by an observer. (Kowall)
Kowall explains that he observer is inherent in our most basic scientific principles, like the principle of equivalence. All the scientific debate about the correct interpretation of quantum theory is about the nature of observation. Both physics and metaphysics place the observer at the center of this discussion. That hyper-physical world of images demands of us that we inquire into the nature of the consciousness of the observer present at that focal point of perception. The holographic nature of the world describes at the most fundamental level possible how all information and energy is encoded in the world. But what does that fundamental description of the world tell us about the fundamental nature of consciousness? The nature of the consciousness perceiving that holographic world remains a mystery.
The key insight of the holographic principle is that an accelerating frame of reference, with an observer present at the central point of view, can arise even within empty space. As the observer arises, an event horizon also arises, which is a far as the observer can see things in space due to the constancy of the speed of light (Penrose 2005). Where does the point of view of the observer arise? Where does the two dimensional surface of the event horizon arise? They both arise in empty space. (Kowall)
Scientists have shown that the brain runs largely on autopilot; it acts first and asks questions later, often explaining behavior after the fact. If much of behavior is automatic, then how responsible are people for their actions? These are among the concerns of neuroscientist Dr. Michael S. Gazzaniga in his new book, Who’s in Charge? Free Will and the Science of the Brain. The brain is a cacophony of competing voices. “The question, ultimately, was why?” Dr. Gazzaniga said. “Why, if we have these separate systems, is it that the brain has a sense of unity?”
Brain images are snapshots, for one thing; they capture a brain state at only one moment in time and say nothing about its function before or after. For another, the images vary widely among people with healthy brains -- that is, a “high” level of activity in one person may be normal in another. Can brain science tell exactly where automatic processes end and self-directed “responsible” ones end? Not now and not likely ever, Dr. Gazzaniga argues in his book. Social constructs like good judgment and free will are even further removed, and trying to define them in terms of biological processes is, in the end, a fool’s game.
Science has its own archetypal fascinations, expressed in theories and models. There is no consensus in physics. The Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (QM) competes with Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), Holographic, Monistic Idealism, Transactional, Post-Quantum, Scalar, Many Worlds (MWI), Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD), String and M-Theory, among others. The secret of Reality may lie in the reconciliation of quantum cosmology, aligning micro-and macroverses. Quantum chaos plays a crucial role in cosmology as choas theory and complexity do in biological systems.
The idea of many worlds, many realities, many dreams appears already in Chinese and Indian texts. Everett cites the well known "garden of forking path" from Borges. It is an ancestral theme of humanity, which comes easily to the mind when you remember your dreams. To really know how the brain works, neuroanatomy is the best guide. Psychological descriptions got us started, but a fundamental map and understanding require a deeper biological foundation and questioning our assumed truths.
We remain immersed within the interface of psyche and matter -- that point where psyche matters. As in chaos theory, all the creative action is at the boundary of any field, the creative threshold, the leading edge. All contemporary models [Transactional (quantum handshake), Many-Worlds (decoherence), M-Theory (strings), Copenhagen (wave-function collapse), Holographic (frequency domain; resolution), Implicate (hidden information), etc], E8, and Torsion Physics (Kozyrov) are essentially philosophical, or colored by the psyche and philosophy of their originators. Imagination has to cross the boundaries of disciplines to somehow find links between the observable and unknowable. With gravity, time and spin, matter and psyche are in a constant state of redefinition.
String theory is facing a high noon with the absence of evidence for supersymmetry in the LHC, where none of the expected evidence for it has been forthcoming to date. String theories began bosonic and then included fermions by citing supersymmetry. Thus all fermionic string theories appear to be supersymmetric. Supersymmetry perfectly balances the energy infinity of the bosons against the negative energy infinity of the fermions by claiming a fermion partner for each boson, but the standard model doesn't look anything like supersymmetric. An alternative is that there are different numbers and arrangements of fermions that still balance the numbers and arrangements of the bosons, but this is right outside the string theory orbit at present. (King, 2011)
Physicist Brian Greene, in a PBS show "The Fabric of the Cosmos" on the nature of space, recently let us in on a secret: We've all been deceived. Our perceptions of time and space have led us astray. Much of what we thought we knew about our universe—that the past has already happened and the future is yet to be, that space is just an empty void, that our universe is the only universe that exists -- just might be wrong. Greene reveals space as a dynamic fabric that can stretch, twist, warp, and ripple under the influence of gravity. Space, far from being empty, is filled with some of the deepest mysteries of our time.
The unexplored microcosm of the Ground-state, the universe of the subquantal domain, may be the key to higher consciousness. The vacuum of Absolute Space is the central ingredient of 21st-century physics. It is the space between particles, inside and outside the atom. You breathe air that carries the vacuum between its molecules. It is technically metaphysical (nonobservable) -- beyond the realm of physics because it is virtual, rather than manifest. Paradoxically, the vacuum is both the absence of matter and the universal substance.
We still don't know where consciousness fits in the big picture. There is no consensus among theories of what constitutes FIGURE and what constitutes the most fundamental GROUND, and it seems they share the same essential nature. Our perceived ‘content’ is not distinct from the ‘context’ in which it arises. It is one whole cloth of bubbling space-time. Nothing more, nor less. We have looked into the Abyss of spacetime and found it laughing back. The core task is answering "What is consciousness? ", and having that answer also fit with and support questions and developed answers (descriptions) on "What is matter?" and "What is energy?". Clearly, the task is to settle on a new common denominator that unites the other aspects and elements.
There is the subject that is conscious and then there is the object of consciousness. If there were no object of consciousness, would there be a consciousness? A consciousness of nothing? Arthur Kornberg discusses DNA in his book "DNA Replication" (pg.13).
"The most important feature of the duplex model for DNA structure is the introduction of the principle of complimentarity. It provided the explanation for accurate replication of a very long chain. This inherent feature of DNA is the basis not only of its replication but also of its capacity to transmit information. Complementarity has come to explain transcription and translation and thus the entire sequence of events in the expression of genetic functions. It is also the basis for exchange of DNA segments between chromosomes in several forms of recombination." Does the rest of the body follows DNA? As a matter of fact is there anything which combines with anything without an entity bringing the pair together".
Archetypes are similar to the genetic code, in that they initially create a structural outline (as in morphogenetic fields and other attractors). The influences of environment and consciousness can then create considerable variation and coloring to the essential structure. Our desires become our talents, our thoughts become our direction, and the power of our purposeful will become our destiny. The spiritual ideal is always there, becoming clearer to us in the later stages of development.
Pitkanin & Gariaev suggest, frequency coding would be natural for quantum antenna interactions between ordinary DNA and its dark variant and also between dark variants of DNA, RNA, tRNA, and amino-acids. The reason is that dark nucleons represent the genetic code by entanglement and it is not possible to reduce the codon to a sequence of letters.
Ervin Laszlo points out regarding the finest level of observation, that because of “the quantum vacuum, the energy sea that underlies all of spacetime, it is no longer warranted to view matter as primary and space as secondary. It is to space or rather, to the cosmically extended "Dirac-sea" of the vacuum that we should grant primary reality.” Virtual particles pop in and out of existence like quantum foam. Mass is the consequence of interactions in the depth of this universal field. There is only this absolute matter-generating subquantal field.
Physicist, David Bohm believed all matter is unfolded out of what he eventually described as a holomovement, which meant that matter could also enfold and so return into the holomovement. Bohm considered quantum mechanics to be a process of unfolding and enfolding. He imagined the universe as an infinite sea of space and energy out of which matter could be unfolded, which he called explicating, and enfolded which he called implicating, which, in Bohm’s words, “together are a flowing, undivided wholeness".
The whole universe of space and time is enfolded into each part. A fundamental order of potential energy enfolds space and time. There is hidden energy in these enfolded dimensions -- a unity of space, time and meaning potential. Scalars are time-reversed waves. The infolded (negative) time dimension of virtual photon flux (hyperspace) is zero-point. Time in physics can be interpreted as an archetype for all material objects. You can not grab a piece of time and hold it; it is everywhere but nowhere. Materiality in the physical world eventually unfolds and enfolds at all scales. Archetypes share this holographic enfolding and unfolding nature. At least, they can be modelled as such.
Psychological Archetypes
Jung's collective unconscious consists of archetypal infolded EM structures acting in common in an overall bio-quantum-potential for the entire species. The bio-potential in a single body is an overall quantum potential that links and joins all the atoms and cells of the body. The "spirit" of the biosystem, if you will, is its "living biopotential" - its living quantum potential. We already know that a potential is everywhere nonzero all the way out to infinity. So the spirit of the living system is - in the virtual state - everywhere and everywhen in the universe. The superhologram of spacetime means the entire universe is everywhere alive, with everything.
Archetypal forces operate under their own laws in various phases of human life and endeavors. The archetypes provide the potential form for experiences that are given individual content by the person’s actual experiences. They influence us on biochemical, personal, social, national and universal levels. They come in the ever-changing guises of phobias and Irrational fears, prejudices, complexes (interference by an archetype or group of archetypes with the conscious personality), and our runaway ego-trips. Complexes can be pathological, archetypes cannot, as entirely healthy expressions of nature The complex may form around any archetypal, that is, structurally important, component of the psyche.
Archetypes play through our self-narratives, culture in art, literature, and the movies we so frequently view and in the stories we love. Our souls are attuned to listening for the multiplicity of viewpoints that comprise situations and events, bridging unconscious and consciousness. Complexes need not be pathological. They are merely collections of psychological material that function most efficiently when they are together. They usually group together because they all relate to a single archetype.
When seen objectively in stories, we can identify with or despise them, but when their effects are subjective, we are entirely "carried away," "beside ourselves". Sometimes, we choose them to feel special and create drama or novelty in our otherwise listless lives - we mistake them for love, for destiny, for the voice of God, for supernatural "signs" in an unenlightened, even superstitious manner. They lie behind religiosity, pathology, and romantic vs. mature love.
Archetypes also lie behind fascinations, crusades, and enchantments of individuals and nations. They produce the phenomena of "love at first sight" and create fads and set trends or styles in the recreation and fashion worlds. They can be contagious as in the case of cults, or political and religious movements. The great attraction of sports is also archetypal in nature.
People will go to war and fight to the death as fanatical "true believers" to defend some political or religious principle. The belief system is influenced by the myth behind it. Charismatic leaders capture the projections of leadership through expressing the subconscious desires of the crown, or herd consciousness (like Adolph Hitler or Jim Jones). Activation of these archetypal powers opens the door for both good and evil, and creates an arena for the emergence of ethics and morals.
Irrational superstitious behavior goes hand in glove with errors of judgment and in some cases involves dissociation or personality disorders, including schizotypal, toxic narcissistic, and borderline personalities. Dissociation can be desirable, as in the case of flow, or pathological, as in dissociative identity disorder. Deeper reality is not remote in the physical sense but in a psychological sense. It is concealed by the very trance states and memes that compose it.
Often, we only recognize the trance state when it breaks, when the projection ends and we re-assimilate that energy. The archetypal content should be respected and perhaps seen through various lenses, but it should never be dismissed as delusion or mere projection. If this happens then the whole cascade of chemistry that packs enormous energies and psychic forces can be prematurely deflated and turn into a self-destructive bomb in the bodymind of the awakener.
Psychic life depends on an unconscious infrastructure. Jung helped differentiate the inscape with his concept of archetypes which express the innate potentials of all dynamics beyond specific forms. Many of his ideas are central to understanding the human psyche or soul, and apply universally to all of mankind. What is of archetypal—that is, organizational and structural—importance to the personality will emerge.
Jung suggests the existence of a 3-layered psyche consisting of 1) the conscious (active part of the mind), 2) the personal unconscious (thinking over which we have little or no control), and 3) the collective unconscious (unevolved, animal-instinctive mental activity). Jung sees archetypes as unconscious regulators of psychic life that attempt to redress psychic imbalances. The unconscious interacts with consciousness in a compensatory way, which leads to intrapsychic self-regulation (Jung, 1966).
In Myth and the Body, Keleman states:
"Our creation myth is also the myth of our biological evolution...there is another aspect to the creation and evolution myth..myth is about the birth and evolution of the body's inner subjectivity... embyrogenesis is cosmogenesis; the birth of the body is the birth of the inner emotional cosmos...from the moment of our conception, the organizing of past somatic images is available to us as a guide for being in the world of the present....The different bodies of our history-personal and impersonal-are in our dreams. Myth presents us ...with the body images of various ages and eons. The complex of somatic images gives our present somatic image an organization and dimension, a structure that has duration...Mostly we are in touch with the surface body, because perception is mostly a surface phenomenon. That doesn't mean that the other bodies aren't there.”
Resonant Filters
Psyche is the unified field of material and immaterial dynamics, the physical and metaphysical. There are as many archetypes as there are situations in life and nature. A constant non-perceptual pattern remains concealed behind archetypal variants. Originating in the collective unconscious, archetypes are experiential catalysts, often likened to psychodynamic Platonic Forms or "spiritual" DNA. They are constraint-based domains. They are the forces of history. They are life's filters.
Archetypes, according to Jung, are "active living dispositions, ideas in the Platonic sense that preform and continually influence our thoughts and feelings and actions." They are not inherited ideas, but rather, as Jung says elsewhere, "inherited possibilities of ideas." The exact nature of these archetypes has been much discussed both within and outside of Jungian circles. What matters for our present purposes is just that the underlying archetypes (which by definition are beyond or beneath consciousness) are expressed in powerful, fascinating and numinous conscious images called "archetypal images". What needs to be insisted on, however, it that there is something still deeper behind archetypal images, something itself unknown, which expresses itself in the psyche. (Granrose)
Archetype-figures also appear in the personal unconscious as "complexes". Archetypes tend to personify themselves, through the cooperation of the active imagination, in order to penetrate personal consciousness. The unconscious, form-determining (archetypal) components of the personality, and the complexes of ideation and affect that form around them seem to act like inductive magnets for certain events and affects to which they correspond, according to Jung. Like strange attractors in chaos theory, they are self-organizing intrapsychic principles.
Archetypes express innate psychological dispositions, fundamental morphogenetic laws, which govern perception, and affective experience. They influence the formation of complexes, which develop around a particular archetypal (core) issue. The archetypes are the individual components or manifestations of the self; they determine particular intrapsychic structures. They manifest in the instinctual life of the body, its attractions, repulsions, fragmentations, and impasses, as well as ideas, "head trips," and spiritual urges. Archetypes give form to fertile chaos which functions as a multi-reined holographic control system. All of our experience is filtered through these conditioning "lenses." Nevertheless we aren't reducible to simple determinants.
We are embedded in a hologram of psychic dimensions. Interactive archetypal energies are embedded in and live through us, as biopsychosocial events. They represent our potentialities beyond time. But we think we are autonomous. In these state-specific altered realities we experience a qualitative range and subtlety of interconnectedness that would be frightening and crazy-making to our normal socio-conditioned repressed mode of being. We find the ground of being and interrelationship with mystery through mythic engagement.
Normally, we project our inner states out into the world. The mystic becomes emancipated from the persuasions of psychic content, while the schizophrenic becomes lost in them. Images arise from energy flux like biochemical resonant filters and harmonic levels of arousal, elevated energetic activation. Then we find synchronous information and events in the outer world to reinforce the energetic power of the archetypes we are preoccupied with. The shamanic journey consists of acute neurological events that evoke heavens and hells that lead to emergent self-organization.
To avoid spiraling into prolonged metabolic and cognitive chaos we must accept these new levels of awareness and physiological condition as coming from “us” and not from an alien entity or God. We must claim responsibility for our Self as it incarnates at an accelerated pace and not project the cause of our condition onto external people, entities or events. As an integrated human we can still "have" our story, but we must keep it in its place by running it through a progressively rational interpretation. This rationalizing process integrates the archetypal imaginal world (reptilian/old mammalian brain) into the 21st Century prefrontal lobes.
Consensus reality is a conditioned trance state. To be "normal", when this violates our inner nature, is itself a form of pathology. Disruption of ego's metaprogramming (habituated dissociation) is not regression, but merely the removal of adaptive/repressive functioning in the present. This creates an entirely new consciousness that does share features with primordial states. This loss of the sense of the known self (ego) is a desirable effect of transformation processes.
By differentiating from the images, symbols, myths, stories and personal identity that we were so involved in before, consciousness becomes separated from its contents. We deepen our own healing by remembering our own experience of trauma is simultaneously a microcosmic, personalized fractal reflecting the greater trauma resonating throughout the collective field. This realization allows us to not personalize the moment of feeling the trauma, or concretize ourselves as being traumatized, but allows us to give over to and embrace particularized experience.
Unless we are “affected” by the symbols, myths and archetypes that we use to give “story” to our lives, no psychic tension would arise to propel us out of “normal” consciousness. The foundations of myth arose in the trance states of early shamans and yogis, exploring the self-arising activity of the Central Nervous System. Intense concentration on the resting voltage of the CNS can lead to spontaneous realization of the meaning that pervades one's own biology. (Sansonese, The Body of Myth, p. 34-35).
Since these ZPE-originated fields are located everywhere (in the Planck false vacuum) and their ultimate radial extension is infinite — they interpenetrate each other in the vast sea of pulsating cosmic spacetime… And, together, constitute the basis of our holographic universe...
Note that all radiant electrodynamic fields, within any frequency spectrum phase order, must have a series of fractal harmonics extending throughout its entire spectral range, which also resonates with all other (higher and lower) phase order fields — and that all information is carried on such fields as modulated wave interference patterns — so that, once recorded, no information is ever lost.
Since all structural information is contained in the infinite spin-momentum (singularity) source of all (harmonic) fractal involved cosmic fields, along with all particle standing waves (as well as all their formative combination's and permutations) at different frequency phase orders... And since all information is transformed from field to field by phase conjugate adaptive resonance... The entire physical universe we experience (at the fourth lowest phase order of the third fractal involution of the cosmos) — is a hologram.
On our physical/material level or plane — this fundamental octave enfolded hyperspherical (toroidal) harmonic structure of all hyperspace and metric space/energy field/forms in total physical/material spacetime (originating from its own “singularity”--ref: General Relativity) — is the basis of all generation of ZPE fields radiating from the center of origin of all physical forms — beginning with the smallest sub-quantum particle and extending to the largest galaxy, as well as each human being.
All such fields are also electrodynamic in nature (Ref: Maxwell, Coulomb, Faraday, Ampere equations), Consequently all structural, memory and mental information is carried as holographically encoded wave interference patterns on the surface of such fields. And are transmitted, through descending hyperspace field phase orders to their common zero-point center of consciousness, by phase conjugate adaptive resonance processes.
Thus, Mind itself (in the case of human thought) is one of those hyperspace fields linked coenergetically (resonantly) with the brain’s radiant EM fields… With long term, archetypal, and species memory stored in adjacent higher order coenergetic hyperspace fields (ref: string theory).
At the first moment of cosmogenesis (“big bang” as science sees it) — the initial highest frequency/energy phase order (spiritual) triune fields of spacetime, fractally involve, and descend in orderly frequency-energy phase orders, stepping down from near infinite frequency spectrum’s to near zero — after emanating from the *singularity* of general relativity… Whose dual inherent qualities, at its zero-point center of origin (absolute space) — are both, *potential* subjective consciousness and *potential* objective *matter*. (Maurer)
This source of everything in our physical-phenomenal hyperspace and metric space-time is the timeless and dimensionless zero-point center and surrounding infinite spin momentum, (G-force or “spinergy*) of unconditioned and eternal Absolute SPACE. This primal space remains, ubiquitously, in our lower order physical/material spacetime, as the zero-point center of “spinergy” at the origin (singularity) of every radiant field, fundamental particle and physical form — up to the largest galaxy, quasar, black hole, etc. Einstein labeled this ubiquitous source of ZPE, “Aether” or ” total space.”
Maurer describes this Absolute SPACE as both the creative force (conscious will) and the receptive womb (infinite spin momentum on triple perpendicular sets of infinite spherical axes) that constitutes the “cosmic eggs” out of which all subsequent universes, with their metaphysical hyperspace and physical metric space fields, fractal involve… And, after descending to the lowest order physical space (at the third fractal iteration) — subsequently evolve, simply and directly (by natural selection, possibly guided by morphogenetic fields (ref: Sheldrake) linked to fundamental consciousness along with stored memory of previous life forms)… With our cosmos being only one of those infinite “parallel” universes… With the same fundamental cyclic and electrodynamic laws, rooted in primal spin momentum, governing each of them.
Thus, everything (including all multidimensional space-time fields and all matter-energy forms) throughout all spherically manifest SPACE-TIME universes, are cyclic in nature, appear and disappear periodically, and their harmonic field involutions are essentially analogous and corresponding — in accord with holographic principles and the universal laws of electrodynamics… All, based on the ubiquitous fractal topological geometry and the fundamental spin momentum of every-zero-point “singularity” throughout “total space” (including “hyperspace” of string theory and metric spacetime of general relativity [GRT])…
Therefore, since consciousness is the fundamental quality of the zero-point center of spin momentum in absolute space — each such “singularity” is potentially conscious as is every zero-point center of all fractal involved information/energy fields radiating from it, ad infinitum.
Metamorphosis
Chaos theory demonstrates the unfolding of creative process itself, the emergence of form or structure from formlessness and chaos. A fractal (chaos) reveals in its depths, hidden degrees of order and structure that resonates with the soul and reveals the familiar forms of nature.
The entire Universe is a web of intercommunication in which all particles and fields constantly exchange information with all others across the universe. They are influenced by and influence each other no matter how far apart they are and join in a dance of infinite creation to produce the moment we call reality, and the structure we call the universe. Vision lives in our hearts, dreams and imagination. Dreams, too are fractals, so we can enter any part of their essential nature, because the part contains the whole.
Nature itself is our greatest teacher. In this dynamic model there are no “things”, just energetic events. Light and sound (acoustic cymatics) modulate all matter. This “holoflux” includes the ultimately flowing nature of what is, and all possible forms. All the objects of our world are three-dimensional images formed of standing and moving waves by electromagnetic and nuclear processes. This is the guiding matrix for self-assembly, and manipulating and organizing physical reality. It is how our DNA creates and projects our psychophysical structure.
Our brains mathematically construct ‘concrete’ reality by interpreting frequencies from another dimension. This information realm of meaningful, patterned primary reality transcends time and space. Thus, the brain is an embedded hologram, interpreting a holographic universe. All existence consists of embedded holograms within holograms and their interrelatedness somehow gives rise to our existence and sensory images, as it does the Cosmos. What happens in the Aether has a deterministic effect on us. This is the Mystery of Nothing becoming Something, a continuous Creation.
Holographic Spiral Vortex
The singularity archetype (a chaotic attractor of toroidal topology) is a ubiquitous hologram, and the cosmic hologram is likewise a singularity. Spin is a quality explaining space-time geometry as well as the genesis of energetic and sub-energetic phenomena. Energy includes both its vectorial and scalar components.
Quasi-virtual objects may function as holographic strange attractors that may likewise fuel archetypal emergence. In the time horizon, the ability to generate interference (phase coupling) belonging to chaotic attractor of toroidal topology. Coherence vortices are the phase singularities of a complex. Such complex dynamics may very well be correlated someday with both the formation of matter and consciousness states. Can we dig below the quantum noise floor? If so, what will we find?
The interaction between spatial and temporal horizon contextualizes in the form of indeterministic, differentiated, temporal flows of images. This is the psycho-perceptual matrix which continues and will continue to nourish the psychic life of humanity, with a surplus of meaning. At all levels, the chaotic part (immeasurable and unpredictable) of the reality we are part of, is always found in inter-time and in inter-space, sub-quantal and subconscious, in the gaps.
A Strange Attractor is a deterministic representation of chaos to the internal order (deterministic chaos), and as such is the most suitable object to represent the ambivalence of the reality we are part of. The strange attractor is an indivisible whole which reflects itself in the strange attractor, where, as in a game of mirrors, the part projects itself by its self-similarity in the whole and the whole in the part, with different degrees of resolution and angles of perspective. (Messori). Archetypal motifs cycle and recycle in self-reiterating fractal-like patterns.
We now presume the fundamental unity of all things, but still struggle to make it more than a concept in our lives. This paradigm takes a transdisciplinary approach. Integrating scientific, social, cultural, psychological and spiritual concepts and ideas helps us wrap our minds around such ultraholism.
Artist Roy Ascott distinguishes the syncretic process from synthesis, in which disparate things meld into a homogenous whole, thereby loosing their individual distinction. Nor is it mere eclecticism, which usually signals a wavering course of thought of only probable worth. In the syncretic context, extreme differences are upheld but aligned so likeness is found among unlike things. The power of each element enriches the power of all others within the array of their differences. This is a viable approach to archetypes.
More than binary opposition, syncretism is a process between different elements, the in-between condition of 'being both'. In describing syncretism, it is useful to bring into play the "both both/and, nor/nand, and either/or" formulation, meaning "mixing together". In present day cultural terms the enemy is habit – the passive, uncritical repetition or acceptance of behaviors, opinions, perceptions and values, and the enshrining as verities, metaphors that have passed their sell-by date. Habit is the enemy of art and science, impeding the search for new ways of being.
The intangible ground of Being is primarily active. Each and every wave has zero point energy of virtually infinite potential, due to infinite interpenetrating waves. Only recently have we begun seriously entertaining this vast ocean of dark light -- the energy of empty space -- as a primordial reality.
An archetype is a primordial vortex, node, nexus, value, or strange attractor. Value is defined as any flow within a given flow. The attractor is the explicate order, a complex manifold of vortices of nonlinear information explication that modulates the vitality of archetypal dimensions. Archetypes are the source of cognition, concepts and misconceptions, theories and meta-theories, emotional stability and instability, wisdom and folly. When we "connect the dots" it is often between archetypal elements and motifs as much as among facts or actual events. Our interpretations, right or wrong, are archetypally colored by these distorting or clarifying lenses, indexing patterns or phase information.
Templates of being, archetypes are there, operating just beyond consciousness structuring the formation of our view of reality. Fractal holographic principle, archetype spiral vortex, and archetype branching networks emerge or emanate from toroidal structures. They are the hidden (occult, "divine") variables that control seemingly random quantum events. Certain combinations of qualities inherently possess greater importance/ significance/ reality/ stability/ commonality than other combinations. These archetypes are usually given names that amplify the tendency to consider them real/ normal/ unchangeable/ fixed/ defined and as a norm that carries its own/ independent driving force and intelligence.
Simultaneous reverberations interpenetrate consciousness and we perceive it directly. The whole meaning of particular enfolded resonant structures may be activated. Meaning is derived from its relationship to the context -- the ground. The cosmic dimension of some archetypal symbols is the sure guarantee of their universality. This storehouse of knowledge is both an asset and hindrance, but more importantly it points to a deeper, implied domain.The image stream or imaginal process is our primary experience and permeates and conditions all facets of human life.
We tend to take the background noise of the constant imaginal flux of the stream of consciousness for granted. We rarely focus our conscious awareness on this imaginal wellspring, but sometimes it intrudes on consciousness during our gaps in normal awareness – day dreaming, fantasies, reverie, lacunae, meditation, inspiration, discovery. Psycho-perceptual imagery emerges from a capacity for internal representation of external reality and reproject it in modified forms.
Consciousness, like creativity, is an emergent phenomenon patterned by strange attractors which govern the complexity of information in dynamic flow. Our consciousness appears co-temporaneously with our embodiment, creating the imaginal flux of representational and nonrepresentational perception - the stream of consciousness. Does magic reprogram the hologram?
Jung's collective unconscious consists of archetypal infolded EM structures acting in common in an overall bio-quantum-potential for the entire species. The bio-potential in a single body is an overall quantum potential that links and joins all the atoms and cells of the body. The "spirit" of the biosystem, if you will, is its "living biopotential" - its living quantum potential. We already know that a potential is everywhere nonzero all the way out to infinity. So the spirit of the living system is - in the virtual state - everywhere and everywhen in the universe. The superhologram of spacetime means the entire universe is everywhere alive, with everything.
Archetypal forces operate under their own laws in various phases of human life and endeavors. The archetypes provide the potential form for experiences that are given individual content by the person’s actual experiences. They influence us on biochemical, personal, social, national and universal levels. They come in the ever-changing guises of phobias and Irrational fears, prejudices, complexes (interference by an archetype or group of archetypes with the conscious personality), and our runaway ego-trips. Complexes can be pathological, archetypes cannot, as entirely healthy expressions of nature The complex may form around any archetypal, that is, structurally important, component of the psyche.
Archetypes play through our self-narratives, culture in art, literature, and the movies we so frequently view and in the stories we love. Our souls are attuned to listening for the multiplicity of viewpoints that comprise situations and events, bridging unconscious and consciousness. Complexes need not be pathological. They are merely collections of psychological material that function most efficiently when they are together. They usually group together because they all relate to a single archetype.
When seen objectively in stories, we can identify with or despise them, but when their effects are subjective, we are entirely "carried away," "beside ourselves". Sometimes, we choose them to feel special and create drama or novelty in our otherwise listless lives - we mistake them for love, for destiny, for the voice of God, for supernatural "signs" in an unenlightened, even superstitious manner. They lie behind religiosity, pathology, and romantic vs. mature love.
Archetypes also lie behind fascinations, crusades, and enchantments of individuals and nations. They produce the phenomena of "love at first sight" and create fads and set trends or styles in the recreation and fashion worlds. They can be contagious as in the case of cults, or political and religious movements. The great attraction of sports is also archetypal in nature.
People will go to war and fight to the death as fanatical "true believers" to defend some political or religious principle. The belief system is influenced by the myth behind it. Charismatic leaders capture the projections of leadership through expressing the subconscious desires of the crown, or herd consciousness (like Adolph Hitler or Jim Jones). Activation of these archetypal powers opens the door for both good and evil, and creates an arena for the emergence of ethics and morals.
Irrational superstitious behavior goes hand in glove with errors of judgment and in some cases involves dissociation or personality disorders, including schizotypal, toxic narcissistic, and borderline personalities. Dissociation can be desirable, as in the case of flow, or pathological, as in dissociative identity disorder. Deeper reality is not remote in the physical sense but in a psychological sense. It is concealed by the very trance states and memes that compose it.
Often, we only recognize the trance state when it breaks, when the projection ends and we re-assimilate that energy. The archetypal content should be respected and perhaps seen through various lenses, but it should never be dismissed as delusion or mere projection. If this happens then the whole cascade of chemistry that packs enormous energies and psychic forces can be prematurely deflated and turn into a self-destructive bomb in the bodymind of the awakener.
Psychic life depends on an unconscious infrastructure. Jung helped differentiate the inscape with his concept of archetypes which express the innate potentials of all dynamics beyond specific forms. Many of his ideas are central to understanding the human psyche or soul, and apply universally to all of mankind. What is of archetypal—that is, organizational and structural—importance to the personality will emerge.
Jung suggests the existence of a 3-layered psyche consisting of 1) the conscious (active part of the mind), 2) the personal unconscious (thinking over which we have little or no control), and 3) the collective unconscious (unevolved, animal-instinctive mental activity). Jung sees archetypes as unconscious regulators of psychic life that attempt to redress psychic imbalances. The unconscious interacts with consciousness in a compensatory way, which leads to intrapsychic self-regulation (Jung, 1966).
In Myth and the Body, Keleman states:
"Our creation myth is also the myth of our biological evolution...there is another aspect to the creation and evolution myth..myth is about the birth and evolution of the body's inner subjectivity... embyrogenesis is cosmogenesis; the birth of the body is the birth of the inner emotional cosmos...from the moment of our conception, the organizing of past somatic images is available to us as a guide for being in the world of the present....The different bodies of our history-personal and impersonal-are in our dreams. Myth presents us ...with the body images of various ages and eons. The complex of somatic images gives our present somatic image an organization and dimension, a structure that has duration...Mostly we are in touch with the surface body, because perception is mostly a surface phenomenon. That doesn't mean that the other bodies aren't there.”
Resonant Filters
Psyche is the unified field of material and immaterial dynamics, the physical and metaphysical. There are as many archetypes as there are situations in life and nature. A constant non-perceptual pattern remains concealed behind archetypal variants. Originating in the collective unconscious, archetypes are experiential catalysts, often likened to psychodynamic Platonic Forms or "spiritual" DNA. They are constraint-based domains. They are the forces of history. They are life's filters.
Archetypes, according to Jung, are "active living dispositions, ideas in the Platonic sense that preform and continually influence our thoughts and feelings and actions." They are not inherited ideas, but rather, as Jung says elsewhere, "inherited possibilities of ideas." The exact nature of these archetypes has been much discussed both within and outside of Jungian circles. What matters for our present purposes is just that the underlying archetypes (which by definition are beyond or beneath consciousness) are expressed in powerful, fascinating and numinous conscious images called "archetypal images". What needs to be insisted on, however, it that there is something still deeper behind archetypal images, something itself unknown, which expresses itself in the psyche. (Granrose)
Archetype-figures also appear in the personal unconscious as "complexes". Archetypes tend to personify themselves, through the cooperation of the active imagination, in order to penetrate personal consciousness. The unconscious, form-determining (archetypal) components of the personality, and the complexes of ideation and affect that form around them seem to act like inductive magnets for certain events and affects to which they correspond, according to Jung. Like strange attractors in chaos theory, they are self-organizing intrapsychic principles.
Archetypes express innate psychological dispositions, fundamental morphogenetic laws, which govern perception, and affective experience. They influence the formation of complexes, which develop around a particular archetypal (core) issue. The archetypes are the individual components or manifestations of the self; they determine particular intrapsychic structures. They manifest in the instinctual life of the body, its attractions, repulsions, fragmentations, and impasses, as well as ideas, "head trips," and spiritual urges. Archetypes give form to fertile chaos which functions as a multi-reined holographic control system. All of our experience is filtered through these conditioning "lenses." Nevertheless we aren't reducible to simple determinants.
We are embedded in a hologram of psychic dimensions. Interactive archetypal energies are embedded in and live through us, as biopsychosocial events. They represent our potentialities beyond time. But we think we are autonomous. In these state-specific altered realities we experience a qualitative range and subtlety of interconnectedness that would be frightening and crazy-making to our normal socio-conditioned repressed mode of being. We find the ground of being and interrelationship with mystery through mythic engagement.
Normally, we project our inner states out into the world. The mystic becomes emancipated from the persuasions of psychic content, while the schizophrenic becomes lost in them. Images arise from energy flux like biochemical resonant filters and harmonic levels of arousal, elevated energetic activation. Then we find synchronous information and events in the outer world to reinforce the energetic power of the archetypes we are preoccupied with. The shamanic journey consists of acute neurological events that evoke heavens and hells that lead to emergent self-organization.
To avoid spiraling into prolonged metabolic and cognitive chaos we must accept these new levels of awareness and physiological condition as coming from “us” and not from an alien entity or God. We must claim responsibility for our Self as it incarnates at an accelerated pace and not project the cause of our condition onto external people, entities or events. As an integrated human we can still "have" our story, but we must keep it in its place by running it through a progressively rational interpretation. This rationalizing process integrates the archetypal imaginal world (reptilian/old mammalian brain) into the 21st Century prefrontal lobes.
Consensus reality is a conditioned trance state. To be "normal", when this violates our inner nature, is itself a form of pathology. Disruption of ego's metaprogramming (habituated dissociation) is not regression, but merely the removal of adaptive/repressive functioning in the present. This creates an entirely new consciousness that does share features with primordial states. This loss of the sense of the known self (ego) is a desirable effect of transformation processes.
By differentiating from the images, symbols, myths, stories and personal identity that we were so involved in before, consciousness becomes separated from its contents. We deepen our own healing by remembering our own experience of trauma is simultaneously a microcosmic, personalized fractal reflecting the greater trauma resonating throughout the collective field. This realization allows us to not personalize the moment of feeling the trauma, or concretize ourselves as being traumatized, but allows us to give over to and embrace particularized experience.
Unless we are “affected” by the symbols, myths and archetypes that we use to give “story” to our lives, no psychic tension would arise to propel us out of “normal” consciousness. The foundations of myth arose in the trance states of early shamans and yogis, exploring the self-arising activity of the Central Nervous System. Intense concentration on the resting voltage of the CNS can lead to spontaneous realization of the meaning that pervades one's own biology. (Sansonese, The Body of Myth, p. 34-35).
Since these ZPE-originated fields are located everywhere (in the Planck false vacuum) and their ultimate radial extension is infinite — they interpenetrate each other in the vast sea of pulsating cosmic spacetime… And, together, constitute the basis of our holographic universe...
Note that all radiant electrodynamic fields, within any frequency spectrum phase order, must have a series of fractal harmonics extending throughout its entire spectral range, which also resonates with all other (higher and lower) phase order fields — and that all information is carried on such fields as modulated wave interference patterns — so that, once recorded, no information is ever lost.
Since all structural information is contained in the infinite spin-momentum (singularity) source of all (harmonic) fractal involved cosmic fields, along with all particle standing waves (as well as all their formative combination's and permutations) at different frequency phase orders... And since all information is transformed from field to field by phase conjugate adaptive resonance... The entire physical universe we experience (at the fourth lowest phase order of the third fractal involution of the cosmos) — is a hologram.
On our physical/material level or plane — this fundamental octave enfolded hyperspherical (toroidal) harmonic structure of all hyperspace and metric space/energy field/forms in total physical/material spacetime (originating from its own “singularity”--ref: General Relativity) — is the basis of all generation of ZPE fields radiating from the center of origin of all physical forms — beginning with the smallest sub-quantum particle and extending to the largest galaxy, as well as each human being.
All such fields are also electrodynamic in nature (Ref: Maxwell, Coulomb, Faraday, Ampere equations), Consequently all structural, memory and mental information is carried as holographically encoded wave interference patterns on the surface of such fields. And are transmitted, through descending hyperspace field phase orders to their common zero-point center of consciousness, by phase conjugate adaptive resonance processes.
Thus, Mind itself (in the case of human thought) is one of those hyperspace fields linked coenergetically (resonantly) with the brain’s radiant EM fields… With long term, archetypal, and species memory stored in adjacent higher order coenergetic hyperspace fields (ref: string theory).
At the first moment of cosmogenesis (“big bang” as science sees it) — the initial highest frequency/energy phase order (spiritual) triune fields of spacetime, fractally involve, and descend in orderly frequency-energy phase orders, stepping down from near infinite frequency spectrum’s to near zero — after emanating from the *singularity* of general relativity… Whose dual inherent qualities, at its zero-point center of origin (absolute space) — are both, *potential* subjective consciousness and *potential* objective *matter*. (Maurer)
This source of everything in our physical-phenomenal hyperspace and metric space-time is the timeless and dimensionless zero-point center and surrounding infinite spin momentum, (G-force or “spinergy*) of unconditioned and eternal Absolute SPACE. This primal space remains, ubiquitously, in our lower order physical/material spacetime, as the zero-point center of “spinergy” at the origin (singularity) of every radiant field, fundamental particle and physical form — up to the largest galaxy, quasar, black hole, etc. Einstein labeled this ubiquitous source of ZPE, “Aether” or ” total space.”
Maurer describes this Absolute SPACE as both the creative force (conscious will) and the receptive womb (infinite spin momentum on triple perpendicular sets of infinite spherical axes) that constitutes the “cosmic eggs” out of which all subsequent universes, with their metaphysical hyperspace and physical metric space fields, fractal involve… And, after descending to the lowest order physical space (at the third fractal iteration) — subsequently evolve, simply and directly (by natural selection, possibly guided by morphogenetic fields (ref: Sheldrake) linked to fundamental consciousness along with stored memory of previous life forms)… With our cosmos being only one of those infinite “parallel” universes… With the same fundamental cyclic and electrodynamic laws, rooted in primal spin momentum, governing each of them.
Thus, everything (including all multidimensional space-time fields and all matter-energy forms) throughout all spherically manifest SPACE-TIME universes, are cyclic in nature, appear and disappear periodically, and their harmonic field involutions are essentially analogous and corresponding — in accord with holographic principles and the universal laws of electrodynamics… All, based on the ubiquitous fractal topological geometry and the fundamental spin momentum of every-zero-point “singularity” throughout “total space” (including “hyperspace” of string theory and metric spacetime of general relativity [GRT])…
Therefore, since consciousness is the fundamental quality of the zero-point center of spin momentum in absolute space — each such “singularity” is potentially conscious as is every zero-point center of all fractal involved information/energy fields radiating from it, ad infinitum.
Metamorphosis
Chaos theory demonstrates the unfolding of creative process itself, the emergence of form or structure from formlessness and chaos. A fractal (chaos) reveals in its depths, hidden degrees of order and structure that resonates with the soul and reveals the familiar forms of nature.
The entire Universe is a web of intercommunication in which all particles and fields constantly exchange information with all others across the universe. They are influenced by and influence each other no matter how far apart they are and join in a dance of infinite creation to produce the moment we call reality, and the structure we call the universe. Vision lives in our hearts, dreams and imagination. Dreams, too are fractals, so we can enter any part of their essential nature, because the part contains the whole.
Nature itself is our greatest teacher. In this dynamic model there are no “things”, just energetic events. Light and sound (acoustic cymatics) modulate all matter. This “holoflux” includes the ultimately flowing nature of what is, and all possible forms. All the objects of our world are three-dimensional images formed of standing and moving waves by electromagnetic and nuclear processes. This is the guiding matrix for self-assembly, and manipulating and organizing physical reality. It is how our DNA creates and projects our psychophysical structure.
Our brains mathematically construct ‘concrete’ reality by interpreting frequencies from another dimension. This information realm of meaningful, patterned primary reality transcends time and space. Thus, the brain is an embedded hologram, interpreting a holographic universe. All existence consists of embedded holograms within holograms and their interrelatedness somehow gives rise to our existence and sensory images, as it does the Cosmos. What happens in the Aether has a deterministic effect on us. This is the Mystery of Nothing becoming Something, a continuous Creation.
Holographic Spiral Vortex
The singularity archetype (a chaotic attractor of toroidal topology) is a ubiquitous hologram, and the cosmic hologram is likewise a singularity. Spin is a quality explaining space-time geometry as well as the genesis of energetic and sub-energetic phenomena. Energy includes both its vectorial and scalar components.
Quasi-virtual objects may function as holographic strange attractors that may likewise fuel archetypal emergence. In the time horizon, the ability to generate interference (phase coupling) belonging to chaotic attractor of toroidal topology. Coherence vortices are the phase singularities of a complex. Such complex dynamics may very well be correlated someday with both the formation of matter and consciousness states. Can we dig below the quantum noise floor? If so, what will we find?
The interaction between spatial and temporal horizon contextualizes in the form of indeterministic, differentiated, temporal flows of images. This is the psycho-perceptual matrix which continues and will continue to nourish the psychic life of humanity, with a surplus of meaning. At all levels, the chaotic part (immeasurable and unpredictable) of the reality we are part of, is always found in inter-time and in inter-space, sub-quantal and subconscious, in the gaps.
A Strange Attractor is a deterministic representation of chaos to the internal order (deterministic chaos), and as such is the most suitable object to represent the ambivalence of the reality we are part of.

PART II
Sub-Nuclear Physics
For Jung the nothing, the Great Mother and the archetypal psyche are synonyms for the great Nothing. The energy still exists, but isn't quantized into any particles. This revives the old Ether theory of Space as an energy field, with a twist, as this Mass-Field, would not only explain matter, as a whole, but is also the mechanism for the expansion observed in the universe, for the transport of photons, and of the gravitational force, not the mythical graviton, but is itself, the "Dark Matter" that is supposedly missing.
Our estrangement form this universal ground is at the root of superficial life and toxic faiths constantly at war with one another. He calls this universal power the Great Mother or Goddess, the pleroma or original fullness, the One, the sea, and the prime matter from which all form is born. He considers this universal mother of consciousness the basis of a truly modern spirituality. "The Nothing [is the basis] out of which All may grow.” Jung’s myth appears as a double quaternity. This twofold quaternity centers on the priority of the nothing and on the full cycle of the ego’s commerce with her.
His radical resolution to contemporary uprootedness lies in the reconnection with that nothingness, itself divested of mind and form, which is the source of mind and of all archetypal impact on the mind. The most spiritually profound form of baptism is the ego’s dissolution in and return from this nothingness with a consciousness now better able to embrace the all through re-immersion in the maternal nothing from which the all is born. This "solve et coagula" is a baptism, undertaken repeatedly in the ongoing renewal of life and consciousness.
This dissolution in and return from the nothing that drew Jung to the mystics, heralding the cyclical rebirth. Our memory of the nothing, the source of the divine image in and for which they were created, empowers our return to it and from it.
This greater approximation of totality, in the eternal now is the basis of developing consciousness in finitude. Lapsed memory of the nothing that precedes the all, gives birth to the all and seeks its fullness in the all. The self orchestrates the ego’s dissolution in the creative nothingness of its origin as a prelude to a deepening and broadening of consequent consciousness.
Jung elsewhere equates the memory of one’s divinity with the experience of the “eternal” self as “… preexistent to consciousness …”The activated memory of the self then becomes “… the most immediate experience of the Divine which it is psychologically possible to imagine.” Such an anamnesis brings the individual closer to one’s totality in the present, and so always carries with it “… the restoration of an original condition, an apocatastasis.”
Apocatastasis usually refers to the reunion of the totality of creation with its origin at the end of history in a post-temporal situation. When Jung equates the recovered memory of one’s totality with apocatastasis he is stating that such wholeness is experienced as worked by the memory itself and in the here and now. Both paradise and the end time are to be approximated and experienced in the present as moments in natural processes of maturation or individuation no longer distinguishable from divinization. (Dourley)
There is a generic process in nature and consciousness which dissolves and regenerates all forms. The essence of this transformative, morphological process is chaotic--purposeful yet inherently unpredictable holistic repatterning. The Great Work of the art of alchemy is the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, a symbol of wholeness and integration. The liquid form of the Stone, called the Universal Solvent, dissolves all old forms like a rushing stream, and is the self-organizing matrix for the rebirth of new forms. It is thus a metaphor or model for the dynamic process of transformation, ego death and re-creation.
The energy body or the field body, along with the scalars of our holographic blueprint, connect us directly with the negentropic potential of the zero-point field. Radiant light literally emerges from this mystic void, beyond nature's veil of observability. Primordial structuring processes are common to both psyche and matter, working in the gap or empty interval between intention and action.
When foreground emerges based on need or habit, the ground recedes. Need in the new moment emerges from the ground as figure. The force of necessity arises in the emotions. A need is an incomplete charged multisensory image that rises to awareness. Image-making is a self-generating activity. Images are involved in the social construction of self. Social and personal realities help construct 'archetypal' images, which influence our perspective of the world.
The dynamic mindscape underlies our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Imagination is both a realm or domain of experience and a human faculty. Images come in from the outside through our senses, and are also produced autonomously from the unconscious as a perpetual multisensory narrative of experience, immediate though often metaphorical in nature. Meaningful signals or mental forms emerge from the amorphous background.
The person is figure to the ground of elements. The ground is what is further from perception or not in awareness. When you focus at any one time, the ground is the remainder of perceptual awareness. The ground state of a quantum mechanical system is its lowest-energy state; the energy of the ground state is known as the zero-point energy (ZPE) of the system.
The figure symbolizes the need in focus, while the ground symbolizes other needs. Nothingness is the ground for change, mobilizing our superposed possibilities in the macrocosm. There can be something between the states of beingness and non-beingness. Everything that exists occupies that indeterminant place, a state of emptiness of all forms, all formulations, and the ground of all experience. Via cascade, we reach the ground state after the excitation of an activation. The ground of our nonlocal potential really does rise up to meet us. Archetypes hold us spellbound with their particulars unless we realize the phenomena exists.
Negistence
The ground (source field) reveals the significance of archetypal imagery (phenomenal field) being rooted in nature. It is the universal, not objective realm that is primary. Archetypes are the patterns that connect. Even the Torah says, Adonoy Elohim formed from the ground every beast of the field. This clearly does not mean dirt, or even atoms or molecules. It means the lowest state of dynamic equilibrium, the basement of being in nonbeing, which remains sensitive to perturbations of matter/antimatter annihilation.
Imagery unfolds as self-revealing visual or multisensory narrative. It attracts – even commands -- our attention, consciously and unconsciously. It invites entrainment through ‘recognition’, providing the energy for follow through in the creative process. We are stimulated, emotionally charged or enflamed, and respond to it intentionally, even compulsively. It drives us. Archetypes hold us spellbound, enchanted with their particulars and motifs (content) unless we realize the phenomena (dynamics) exists. But often when we are "in it" we can't "see it" despite the fact it is crystal clear to others.
When we believe in and follow that impulse, what was pure potential crystallizes waves of psychophysical energy and becomes manifest. Each image emerges from the creative context that links all events, real and imaginal – the underlying destructured phenomenal field – the meaningful void of the transcendent imagination.
The nonmanifest is the dynamic source of everything, but we tend to ignore it favoring the tangibles of objects to the creative ground. The whole of any level is the part of more fundamental levels. When the movement is complete, there is a return to the ground of awareness itself.
Chaos, the real matrix of order, is experienced as a consciousness state--the ground state. Paradoxically, chaos is the essence of order. That order is inherent. Dynamics has successfully explained many natural phenomena and been heralded as a new scientific paradigm. The quintessence is now found in nonlinear dynamics, the holographic field and the virtual vacuum of absolute space. Only when we comprehend the groundstate of being can we fathom reality.
One of the latest theories suggests that gravitational charges in the quantum vacuum could provide an alternative to dark matter. The idea rests on the hypothesis that particles and antiparticles have gravitational charges of opposite sign. As a consequence, virtual particle-antiparticle pairs in the quantum vacuum form gravitational dipoles (having both a positive and negative gravitational charge) that can interact with baryonic matter to produce phenomena usually attributed to dark matter. CERN physicist Dragan Slavkov Hajdukovic demonstrated that these gravitational dipoles could explain the observed rotational curves of galaxies without dark matter in his initial study. He also shows that the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum can explain four cosmological observations, only some of which can be explained by dark matter models or theories of modified gravity. (Zyga)

“In simple words, according to the Quantum Field Theory, all baryonic matter in the Universe is immersed in the quantum vacuum; popularly speaking, a ‘sea’ of short-living virtual particle-antiparticle pairs (like electron-positron pairs with the lifetime of about 10-22 seconds, or neutrino-antineutrino pairs with a lifetime of about 10-15 seconds, which is a record lifetime in the quantum vacuum). It is difficult to believe that the quantum vacuum does not interact gravitationally with the baryonic matter immersed in it. In spite of it, the quantum vacuum is ignored in astrophysics and cosmology; not because we are not aware of its importance but because no one has any idea what the gravitational properties of the quantum vacuum are. In absence of any knowledge, as a starting point, we have conjectured that particles and antiparticles have the gravitational charge of opposite sign. An immediate consequence is the existence of the gravitational dipoles; a virtual pair is a gravitational dipole (in the same way as a virtual electron-positron pair is an electric dipole), that allows the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum. The initial study has revealed the surprising possibility that the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum can produce phenomena usually attributed to dark matter.”
The transcendent principle of "emanation" is primordial. All derived or secondary things proceed or flow from the primal Source. It eliminates will from the theory of creation. There is no hand of a supreme artisan who finds matter at his or her disposal. All things, actually or only apparently material, emerge or flow from the dynamic primal principle, in the multiple metaphorms of the flower of life.
Unlike evolution, the process of development, emanation declares the immutability of the first principle. Emanation involves a series of descending stages, a subjective gnosis, not a developmental evolution that goes from less to more perfect. Thus, chaotic excitability is a paradigm of emergence, transcendent yet immanent potential. The undecomposable domain of Chaos is not an emptiness, but a rich, generative source -- a bornless nothingness from which all form proceeds.
The probabilities of transformation emerge from total potential as pluralistic chaos erupts into awareness as motivation. In the creative process, one path is amplified and chosen. Beyond the hyperfine structure of reality, this process of self-discovery, phase transition, and integration is the ground, path, and fruition of our work.
Ground Rules
You can imagine yourself as the dynamic ground on which the reality dream is taking place. It is a shift in personal center of gravity to the deepest level, down the rabbit hole of subspace. When it has come to a point of sufficient resolution, it will fade into the undifferentiated ground, and another appears. Once we "go to ground", regenerative possibilities emerge. As focus changes, so does the figure and hence the ground. The ground which supports us is home of our transcendental soul. With genuine and unreserved acceptance, we create the ground from which all healing takes place.
The totality of experience is the ground of a life. But 'unity' itself is a fantasy goal. We can re-experience ourselves in a more complete, more complex way. What we can know becomes the image that points to the archetype, but never the thing in itself. We cannot see the world in its totality (unbroken wholeness) without imagination, yet imagination clouds the issue by generating a geyser of imagery in the void of the unknown. Imagination demands understanding as non-derivative, as a phenomenon evaluated on its own terms.
By creatively "making something out of Nothing", it reflects the unconscious perspective back to the self-organizing environment from which it arises spontaneously. It may launch us out of the now in any moment into the past or future. We abandon linear thinking wholly in the gaps in our awareness. Fantasy is a meaningful part of our raw mental life, where transformations take place.
Reorganized, inner life transforms the complex responses and cognitions that become the ground of a more satisfying and fulfilling life. The pluripotent/pluridimensional state is the condition of self-renewal. This cosmic ground is a mundus imaginalis, different from such bases as "biological instinct, eternal forms, numbers, linguistics and social transmission, biochemical reactions, genetic coding, etc.
The imaginal field acts as some sort of intermediary. It is the space which is already present when images are produced; it is the space where images emerge. Images and objects in the imaginal field are both personal and transpersonal. Such images and objects appear in an imaginal field that reaches past subjective, or internal, experience into objective, or external experience.
There is a gloss of imaginary material both over and under our ordinary experience and perception. The subjective imaginal is interwoven with objective "reality" as it unfolds. The Source generates meaningful images, but sometimes that meaning is lost in translation. The dream goes unnoticed, the warning unheeded, the challenge unanswered, the soul unacknowledged. Whatever is seen is also always explored in the imaginal. Immaterial reality arouses the felt-sense of connection to spirituality, yearning to retrieve the sacred. Such connection heals by eliminating fragmentation brought about by projective identifications.
Power of Eternity
In ancient times imagination, fantasy and intuition were considered an essential part of medical care. Solidarity with nature means healing. Healing itself, Jung says, always comes in some wholly unexpected way from the unknown -- like a miracle -- individually and culturally. Until it arrives, we grope in the dark.
Yet, that very darkness contains the seeds of light. We often find some "object" in the imaginal realm that is healing. In creative imaginal time, events are lived outside linear time, and time may even be "reversed". Moments of insight harmonize verbal, active and imaginal modes of being.
There are times “the web” appears as the archetypal field, that mythical web of light across a field of stars and the scintillating flux of subspace that undergirds our being. A pulsating primal information field virtually 'bleeds' into manifestation from matter/anti-matter annihilation. As the aphorism goes, there is form without void. While we are concerned with figurative objects, the ground remains largely unacknowledged or unexplored.
Intuition and critical thinking must balance one another. Each of us rediscovers cosmic rhythms and significant archetypal positions at the heart of our being. But we accept them uncritically at our existential peril. At extremes, this leads to eccentricity, zealotry, and fanaticism, not wisdom and understanding. The drama of the modern world proceeds from the profound disequilibrium of the psyche, individual as well as collective.
We have to dig beneath our own motivations, prejudices, hidden agendas, and habitual thinking. To understand how we work, we need to explore the metapatterns of being. Primordial images, because of their universality and immense antiquity possess a cosmic and supra-human character, each of which can condition or warp our views of reality with their own 'gravity' fields. Our circumstances are a webwork conditioned by archetypal interrelationships.
We don't need to resurrect pre- or pseudoscientific, superstitious practices of our ancestors as much as foster the emergence of a wholly new order. The unconscious creative force is spirit. In our unconscious condition we connect with spiritual ground; consciously we live from it, rooted in gnosis. It lights up our being.
Theories need to be grounded. The same is true for a theory of archetypes as for a general theory of the universe and consciousness. Consciousness appears as structural coding and interpretation. Archetypes are filters of the data-stream. These archetypes, which belong to humankind and are therefore of a collective nature, impelled Jung to suggest that in the unconscious mind we are all the same. Multidisciplinary science is verifying his intuitive notion.
The human psyche possesses a common substratum containing the myths and legends of all peoples regardless of differences in culture or personal experience. But we must discriminate or separate these symbols from those others which may have a merely personal dimension, which leads to disequilibrium. An invasion of archetypes leads to self-delusion.
Archetypal Affect
Archetypal affects operate as attractors in the emotional field. Archetypes affect us so strongly because they resonate with the deep, underlying structure of human motivation and meaning. They evoke strong feelings in us because they’re easily recognizable and tap into emotions and desires that we all share. James Hillman said, “we possess our feelings, but we are possessed by our emotions”.
Emotion is a positive or negatively charged psychic energy, an intense psychophysical unconscious reaction. A "feeling" is less intense and more conscious. Affect, as the root of emotion and feeling, modulates and regulates the psyche. Emotion is a complex experience, involving triggers, memory, conscious and unconscious elements. It arises from internal and external cues. Feelings have the quality of awareness.
The salvific force within the crucible of transformation colors the archetypal experience of dying and becoming, the movement from fragmentation to individuation, as the retrieval of body and soul after the experience of soul-murder. The spiritual dimension of trauma therapy addresses the archetype of meaning and the art of reconciliation in transcending trauma.
In summary, affect, emotion and feeling are three degrees of emotional experience along a developmental spectrum. Affect is the biological/archetypal root that combines with lived experience to form complex emotion, which in turn can be introspectively distilled into feelings through conscious awareness. Many modes of self-expression allow transformation from unconscious emotion to a more conscious feeling by releasing what is locked up inside into the external world.
Jung pointed out a specific psychobiological "charge" came along with archetypal activation. Beliefs are emotionalized thoughts. Archetypes can be related to affect modulation neurobiologically, according to Schore. The numinous charge lowers certain aspects of critical thinking while raising certain contents to a "supranormal degree of luminosity," by withdrawing energy from and darkening other contents into unconsciousness. A principal function of the human nervous system is the construction of a system of models of the world (operational environment) and the self. The symbolic brain is impelled to reify universal cosmologies that are at the core of each society's mythritual complex.
Social context and symbolic actions produce psychobiological changes in which symbolic cognition is grounded in the body. Nonsemiotic social and biological processes produce healing through meaning in the body and society with coherent mythic narratives. Metaphor links body and society through myth and the archetypes of the body. Processes rooted in the nervous system are presented in subjectively-compelling images. Suprapersonal archetypes arise from interaction of the body with social relations as universal substrate. Intuitive powers manifest in visual symbols. "Knowing how", related to images of the body's action, is the neurognostic foundation of consciousness. (Laughlin)
Neurognosis is a product of complex coherence in the quantum sea, and as a consequence is structured in such a way as to produce not only nascent knowledge about material phenomena (i.e., objects, relations and movements among objects, etc.) but also nascent knowledge of the quantum sea itself. In short, we are born knowing the world as objects and the world as sea. The former knowledge results in intentionality related to objects, and the latter to experiences of voidness.

For Jung the nothing, the Great Mother and the archetypal psyche are synonyms for the great Nothing. The energy still exists, but isn't quantized into any particles. This revives the old Ether theory of Space as an energy field, with a twist, as this Mass-Field, would not only explain matter, as a whole, but is also the mechanism for the expansion observed in the universe, for the transport of photons, and of the gravitational force, not the mythical graviton, but is itself, the "Dark Matter" that is supposedly missing.
Our estrangement form this universal ground is at the root of superficial life and toxic faiths constantly at war with one another. He calls this universal power the Great Mother or Goddess, the pleroma or original fullness, the One, the sea, and the prime matter from which all form is born. He considers this universal mother of consciousness the basis of a truly modern spirituality. "The Nothing [is the basis] out of which All may grow.” Jung’s myth appears as a double quaternity. This twofold quaternity centers on the priority of the nothing and on the full cycle of the ego’s commerce with her.
His radical resolution to contemporary uprootedness lies in the reconnection with that nothingness, itself divested of mind and form, which is the source of mind and of all archetypal impact on the mind. The most spiritually profound form of baptism is the ego’s dissolution in and return from this nothingness with a consciousness now better able to embrace the all through re-immersion in the maternal nothing from which the all is born. This "solve et coagula" is a baptism, undertaken repeatedly in the ongoing renewal of life and consciousness.
This dissolution in and return from the nothing that drew Jung to the mystics, heralding the cyclical rebirth. Our memory of the nothing, the source of the divine image in and for which they were created, empowers our return to it and from it.
This greater approximation of totality, in the eternal now is the basis of developing consciousness in finitude. Lapsed memory of the nothing that precedes the all, gives birth to the all and seeks its fullness in the all. The self orchestrates the ego’s dissolution in the creative nothingness of its origin as a prelude to a deepening and broadening of consequent consciousness.
Jung elsewhere equates the memory of one’s divinity with the experience of the “eternal” self as “… preexistent to consciousness …”The activated memory of the self then becomes “… the most immediate experience of the Divine which it is psychologically possible to imagine.” Such an anamnesis brings the individual closer to one’s totality in the present, and so always carries with it “… the restoration of an original condition, an apocatastasis.”
Apocatastasis usually refers to the reunion of the totality of creation with its origin at the end of history in a post-temporal situation. When Jung equates the recovered memory of one’s totality with apocatastasis he is stating that such wholeness is experienced as worked by the memory itself and in the here and now. Both paradise and the end time are to be approximated and experienced in the present as moments in natural processes of maturation or individuation no longer distinguishable from divinization. (Dourley)
There is a generic process in nature and consciousness which dissolves and regenerates all forms. The essence of this transformative, morphological process is chaotic--purposeful yet inherently unpredictable holistic repatterning. The Great Work of the art of alchemy is the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, a symbol of wholeness and integration. The liquid form of the Stone, called the Universal Solvent, dissolves all old forms like a rushing stream, and is the self-organizing matrix for the rebirth of new forms. It is thus a metaphor or model for the dynamic process of transformation, ego death and re-creation.
The energy body or the field body, along with the scalars of our holographic blueprint, connect us directly with the negentropic potential of the zero-point field. Radiant light literally emerges from this mystic void, beyond nature's veil of observability. Primordial structuring processes are common to both psyche and matter, working in the gap or empty interval between intention and action.
When foreground emerges based on need or habit, the ground recedes. Need in the new moment emerges from the ground as figure. The force of necessity arises in the emotions. A need is an incomplete charged multisensory image that rises to awareness. Image-making is a self-generating activity. Images are involved in the social construction of self. Social and personal realities help construct 'archetypal' images, which influence our perspective of the world.
The dynamic mindscape underlies our beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Imagination is both a realm or domain of experience and a human faculty. Images come in from the outside through our senses, and are also produced autonomously from the unconscious as a perpetual multisensory narrative of experience, immediate though often metaphorical in nature. Meaningful signals or mental forms emerge from the amorphous background.
The person is figure to the ground of elements. The ground is what is further from perception or not in awareness. When you focus at any one time, the ground is the remainder of perceptual awareness. The ground state of a quantum mechanical system is its lowest-energy state; the energy of the ground state is known as the zero-point energy (ZPE) of the system.
The figure symbolizes the need in focus, while the ground symbolizes other needs. Nothingness is the ground for change, mobilizing our superposed possibilities in the macrocosm. There can be something between the states of beingness and non-beingness. Everything that exists occupies that indeterminant place, a state of emptiness of all forms, all formulations, and the ground of all experience. Via cascade, we reach the ground state after the excitation of an activation. The ground of our nonlocal potential really does rise up to meet us. Archetypes hold us spellbound with their particulars unless we realize the phenomena exists.
Negistence
The ground (source field) reveals the significance of archetypal imagery (phenomenal field) being rooted in nature. It is the universal, not objective realm that is primary. Archetypes are the patterns that connect. Even the Torah says, Adonoy Elohim formed from the ground every beast of the field. This clearly does not mean dirt, or even atoms or molecules. It means the lowest state of dynamic equilibrium, the basement of being in nonbeing, which remains sensitive to perturbations of matter/antimatter annihilation.
Imagery unfolds as self-revealing visual or multisensory narrative. It attracts – even commands -- our attention, consciously and unconsciously. It invites entrainment through ‘recognition’, providing the energy for follow through in the creative process. We are stimulated, emotionally charged or enflamed, and respond to it intentionally, even compulsively. It drives us. Archetypes hold us spellbound, enchanted with their particulars and motifs (content) unless we realize the phenomena (dynamics) exists. But often when we are "in it" we can't "see it" despite the fact it is crystal clear to others.
When we believe in and follow that impulse, what was pure potential crystallizes waves of psychophysical energy and becomes manifest. Each image emerges from the creative context that links all events, real and imaginal – the underlying destructured phenomenal field – the meaningful void of the transcendent imagination.
The nonmanifest is the dynamic source of everything, but we tend to ignore it favoring the tangibles of objects to the creative ground. The whole of any level is the part of more fundamental levels. When the movement is complete, there is a return to the ground of awareness itself.
Chaos, the real matrix of order, is experienced as a consciousness state--the ground state. Paradoxically, chaos is the essence of order. That order is inherent. Dynamics has successfully explained many natural phenomena and been heralded as a new scientific paradigm. The quintessence is now found in nonlinear dynamics, the holographic field and the virtual vacuum of absolute space. Only when we comprehend the groundstate of being can we fathom reality.
One of the latest theories suggests that gravitational charges in the quantum vacuum could provide an alternative to dark matter. The idea rests on the hypothesis that particles and antiparticles have gravitational charges of opposite sign. As a consequence, virtual particle-antiparticle pairs in the quantum vacuum form gravitational dipoles (having both a positive and negative gravitational charge) that can interact with baryonic matter to produce phenomena usually attributed to dark matter. CERN physicist Dragan Slavkov Hajdukovic demonstrated that these gravitational dipoles could explain the observed rotational curves of galaxies without dark matter in his initial study. He also shows that the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum can explain four cosmological observations, only some of which can be explained by dark matter models or theories of modified gravity. (Zyga)
Zyga explains,
“In simple words, according to the Quantum Field Theory, all baryonic matter in the Universe is immersed in the quantum vacuum; popularly speaking, a ‘sea’ of short-living virtual particle-antiparticle pairs (like electron-positron pairs with the lifetime of about 10-22 seconds, or neutrino-antineutrino pairs with a lifetime of about 10-15 seconds, which is a record lifetime in the quantum vacuum). It is difficult to believe that the quantum vacuum does not interact gravitationally with the baryonic matter immersed in it. In spite of it, the quantum vacuum is ignored in astrophysics and cosmology; not because we are not aware of its importance but because no one has any idea what the gravitational properties of the quantum vacuum are. In absence of any knowledge, as a starting point, we have conjectured that particles and antiparticles have the gravitational charge of opposite sign. An immediate consequence is the existence of the gravitational dipoles; a virtual pair is a gravitational dipole (in the same way as a virtual electron-positron pair is an electric dipole), that allows the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum. The initial study has revealed the surprising possibility that the gravitational polarization of the quantum vacuum can produce phenomena usually attributed to dark matter.”

Archetypal affects operate as attractors in the emotional field. Archetypes affect us so strongly because they resonate with the deep, underlying structure of human motivation and meaning. They evoke strong feelings in us because they’re easily recognizable and tap into emotions and desires that we all share. James Hillman said, “we possess our feelings, but we are possessed by our emotions”.
Emotion is a positive or negatively charged psychic energy, an intense psychophysical unconscious reaction. A "feeling" is less intense and more conscious.

In summary, affect, emotion and feeling are three degrees of emotional experience along a developmental spectrum. Affect is the biological/archetypal root that combines with lived experience to form complex emotion, which in turn can be introspectively distilled into feelings through conscious awareness. Many modes of self-expression allow transformation from unconscious emotion to a more conscious feeling by releasing what is locked up inside into the external world.

Social context and symbolic actions produce psychobiological changes in which symbolic cognition is grounded in the body. Nonsemiotic social and biological processes produce healing through meaning in the body and society with coherent mythic narratives. Metaphor links body and society through myth and the archetypes of the body. Processes rooted in the nervous system are presented in subjectively-compelling images. Suprapersonal archetypes arise from interaction of the body with social relations as universal substrate. Intuitive powers manifest in visual symbols. "Knowing how", related to images of the body's action, is the neurognostic foundation of consciousness. (Laughlin)
Neurognosis is a product of complex coherence in the quantum sea, and as a consequence is structured in such a way as to produce not only nascent knowledge about material phenomena (i.e., objects, relations and movements among objects, etc.) but also nascent knowledge of the quantum sea itself. In short, we are born knowing the world as objects and the world as sea. The former knowledge results in intentionality related to objects, and the latter to experiences of voidness.

In creative imaginal time, events are lived outside linear time, and time may even be "reversed". Moments of insight harmonize verbal, active and imaginal modes of being.
There are times “the web” appears as the archetypal field, that mythical web of light across a field of stars and the scintillating flux of subspace that undergirds our being. A pulsating primal information field virtually 'bleeds' into manifestation from matter/anti-matter annihilation. As the aphorism goes, there is form without void. While we are concerned with figurative objects, the ground remains largely unacknowledged or unexplored.
Intuition and critical thinking must balance one another. Each of us rediscovers cosmic rhythms and significant archetypal positions at the heart of our being. But we accept them uncritically at our existential peril. At extremes, this leads to eccentricity, zealotry, and fanaticism, not wisdom and understanding. The drama of the modern world proceeds from the profound disequilibrium of the psyche, individual as well as collective.
We have to dig beneath our own motivations, prejudices, hidden agendas, and habitual thinking. To understand how we work, we need to explore the metapatterns of being. Primordial images, because of their universality and immense antiquity possess a cosmic and supra-human character, each of which can condition or warp our views of reality with their own 'gravity' fields. Our circumstances are a webwork conditioned by archetypal interrelationships.
We don't need to resurrect pre- or pseudoscientific, superstitious practices of our ancestors as much as foster the emergence of a wholly new order. The unconscious creative force is spirit. In our unconscious condition we connect with spiritual ground; consciously we live from it, rooted in gnosis. It lights up our being.
Theories need to be grounded. The same is true for a theory of archetypes as for a general theory of the universe and consciousness. These archetypes, which belong to humankind and are therefore of a collective nature, impelled Jung to suggest that in the unconscious mind we are all the same. Multidisciplinary science is verifying his intuitive notion.
The human psyche possesses a common substratum containing the myths and legends of all peoples regardless of differences in culture or personal experience. But we must discriminate or separate these symbols from those others which may have a merely personal dimension, which leads to disequilibrium. An invasion of archetypes leads to self-delusion.
Non-Determinstic Psychology
For Jung, the collective unconscious is the world of the Gods and spirits, but also physics. Eliade defined archetypes as "exemplary models" or paradigms", and paradigms underlie our worldview much like subspace supports material manifestation. It is our archetypal nature to begin with assumptions about reality, to move to hypotheses, which yield coherent theories, which we realize are only models of reality, including our experience of ourselves. Conscious attachment to romanticism, fixed ideas and beliefs blocks the process, distorting and warping creative experience and vision.
For Eliade, symbolic thinking is rooted in the inner layer of our being, is consubstantial with human existence, and comes before language and discursive reason: "The symbol reveals certain aspects of reality -- the deepest aspects -- which defy any other means of knowledge .... Images, symbols, and myths respond to a need and fulfill a function, that of bringing to light the most hidden modalities of being." They may become mutilated or degraded, but are never extirpated nor ever disappear from the reality of the psyche. Furthermore, for Eliade, the unconscious is more philosophical and poetic than the conscious. It possesses a spiritual authenticity superior to conscious living.
Holism and physics essentially suggest that human beings potentially exist in multiple realities. Relevant issues include knowledge about the true nature of total metaphysical and physical (hyperspacetime and spacetime) reality, its electro-gravitational dynamics, holofractal geometries, the nature of information storage, transformation, transmission, and perception. Counterpoint to such explorations includes pro-active relationship with archetypal dynamics and transformational processes. This experiential process helps us comprehend how unconditioned "universal" energy transduces into the particulars of matter and events.
The universe is our "parent fractal" from the cosmological to microcosmic scale. Fractals are dynamic process-structures that etch time into space. They are boundary keepers that negotiate spatial and temporal interfaces between different forces and dimensions of being. Fractals provide the paradoxical foundation by which different levels of nature both connect and separate. Every boundary becomes a door, every border a portal. Because the same dynamics hold inside as well as outside the psyche, fractal geometry provides a bridge and language for linking inside and outside worlds.
Whether they occur in nature, our bodies or minds, fractal boundaries reveal infinite, hidden frontiers in the space between ordinary, Euclidean dimensions. As they occur around and inside our bodies, fractals occupy the complicated interface between various forces in nature. As they occur in the psyche, fractals arise out of endless feedback loops between self and other in relationships. Our sense of self, once again paradoxical in being both open and closed, arises dynamically in the transitional space between people. It appears that everywhere they arise, fractals occupy the boundary zone between. (Marks-Tarlow)
Each of us enters the Probability Cloud of Unknowing, extracting our knowledge and wisdom from the holographic blur of infinite potentials or archetypal superpositions underlying our experiential reality. When we see through the Cloud of Unknowing, we gain freedom from instinct, and consciously realize the powerful influences of the archetypal powers. All human experiences, interpretations, descriptions, representations, images, and formulas meet in the depth dimension of the primordial field. Magic happens in the gaps. Boundary situations are where we enounter the Unknown. Inherent influential symbols and mythical themes survive in the psyche of modern man.
Most people are consumed by the contents of their experience, rather than learning the dynamics of the overall process and its effects in determining beliefs, thoughts, emotions and behavior. Without an overview of the processes of psychology and physics we fall into idiosyncratic theories based on highly limited understanding and experience. Without such understanding, wisdom is hampered by system error. This is the source of both factual error and faulty conclusions. The archetype of the Void is the primary archetype of the 21st Century.
Fundamental to all experience are the opposites of emptiness and fullness, space and substance, sound and silence, something and nothing. We not only meet these polarities at every moment in the gap between breaths, the silence between sounds, comprehension our existence is empty space -- existing and not existing. Its counterpoint is focused personal attention. The archetype of the void is about meeting it with awareness. For many people this can be a difficult or frightening thing.
We tend to think of the void as a huge nothingness, a vacuum in which the human personality will disappear. This can seem very frightening, that behind everything is a sort of nothingness. The amusing thing is that this is an everyday human experience. In sleep we have dropped into that void. Our personality has indeed, as far as we are concerned, melted away and disappeared. Yet the next morning we awake and all is well. We have survived.
The conscious meeting with the void is part of the gradual expanding of personal awareness. Part of our world is the full surround virtual reality of dreams and imagination, but there are dimensions beyond imagery, beyond form, beyond the opposites, beyond personal separate existence. This is the void, and to confront it consciously is a transformative experience.
Nothing Matters
ZPE-originated fields are located everywhere (in the Planck false vacuum) and their ultimate radial extension is infinite — they interpenetrate each other in the vast sea of pulsating cosmic spacetime. Together they constitute the basis of our holographic universe. This entire cycle of cosmic radiation, inflation, expansion, involution, compression, starting from and ending at the zero-point singularity (fundamental spin momentum) of absolute (zero-point) space, is the fundamental root of the "holographic principle" which underlies all phenomenal reality.
All structural information is contained in the infinite spin-momentum (singularity) source of all (harmonic) fractal involved cosmic fields, along with all particle standing waves (as well as all their formative combination's and permutations) at different frequency phase orders. All information is transformed from field to field by phase conjugate adaptive resonance.
Einstein said, 'Nothing happens until something moves.' Action at a distance occurs when pairs of quantum particles become entangled. Entanglement originated in the mind of Albert Einstein, who ironically came up with the notion trying to disprove quantum mechanics, a branch of physics he mistrusted all his life. Under the theory, if two particles, say electrons, are created together, some of their attributes will become "entangled." If the two are then separated, doing something to one instantly affects the other. This would happen whether they were next to each other or across the universe.
For instance, electrons act as if they have tiny bar magnets that point up or down, described by an attribute called "spin." If the two electrons are entangled through their spins -- up or down -- and a scientist measures the spin of one, the spin of the other will react even if one is on a lab table in Oxford and the other were on a planet near the star Antares, 1,000 light years away. Instantly. This means that the information about the change traveled faster than the speed of light -- which Einstein said was impossible -- or that long distances are some kind of illusion.
Entanglement is the ‘spooky action’ that coordinates the properties of separated particles. Non-local particles remain connected despite separation over time or space because space and time emerge from fundamentally spaceless and timeless physics. Quantum-holographic fields are responsible for our consciousness and memory which are non-local distributed fields. Consciousness also includes awareness, perception, attention and understanding.
Fundamental processes of nature lie outside space-time, generating events that can be located in space-time. Archetypal fields appear to function non-locally. Their influence is not space-time dependent. Therefore, according to quantum mechanics, they are secondary to entanglements which are primary. “Quantum entanglement” operates in processes taking place in DNA and its environment (Ogryzko, 2008).
There is a hypothesis about quantum entanglement (nonlocality) between genetic material of parents and descendants. At conception DNA of descendants “interacted” with the genotypes of the parents. By extrapolation of such assumptions, kin and non-kin may share quantum entanglement within quite large groups of individuals, originating out of Africa, or later isolated antic populations during glacial refugia. We are inextricably linked to one another.
Archetypes link us to one another as much as genes. Material carriers of consciousness emerge from projected forms of DNA, including brain neurons and the central nervous system. In addition, molecular orbitals (electron shells) of nuclear DNA of nerve cells appear as “carriers” of consciousness. This conforms with Karl Pribram's theory of the holographic principle of brain functioning.
Wave-genetics is more fundamental than electrochemical transfer of nerve impulses in determination of consciousness. Thus, archetypes are deeply rooted in our heritable nature, through aspects common to quantum information and condensed matter. Though they cannot specify behavior, genes must enable behavior.
Fundamental to the personality, archetypes are what moves and what moves us. Our lives are profoundly influenced by these archetypal rhythms, which arise from the subtext of reality. We are entangled in their eternal plotlines and mythemes. The heart of any archetypal pattern is its underlying motivations that fuse matter, imagery, desire, and basic human instinct.
Key sources of motivation give rise to human behavior. Traditionally, stories and myths -- religions we no longer believe -- provide the key to understanding human meaning and motivation. Motivation is the crankshaft of every story. Jung thought such stories form the structure of the psyche. These basic elements of the psyche are expressed through a tangle of concepts. Such chaotic conditions suggest the deep nature of archetypes as holographic strange attractors. The same strange attractor can manifest in different forms and on different levels, according to its orientation.
Archetypes represent a common language, symbols that everyone understands, that all humans have in common. A plurality of possibilities lead to one actuality. We also make use of archetypes when we think, when we describe something. The words we use exist in a common pool. Language is a common thing, therefore a language has its own field.
When we think, our thoughts are coded by a common field and linked to our own unspeakable name (the DNA). But our thoughts still remain entangled with the common field of the language. Geometry is another archetypal form of communication. The field of form itself is a geometrical archetype, informed by the patterns of "sacred geometry", the flower of life, Fibonnaci, Solfeggio, Golden Mean and Fuller's synergetics. Reflected in our own being, is it possible that a true archetype of a universal nature begins in geometry itself?
Archetypes are shapers of human experience, “fields” of interrelated experience that the human psyche is predisposed to find significant.. They are defined by motivation, but are more about a deep underlying need, often subconscious, that then affects all the other goals and motivations. Archetypes are negentropic drives, revealing latent information and identity. They are not pieces of a mosaic but interrelational systems in a Universe of of multidimensional relationships.
The story goal may not be what defines the archetypal need. Archetypal meaning is the agent that links all threads together. Narratives always represent a kind of movement in moral space. They are energies that are in and around us that create a field that helps us develop certain qualities that we have innately within us as human beings. These can be expressed in good, bad or diabolical ways, depending on certain other factors.
Narratives are the way that humans have of constructing coherence and continuity in our lives. The most important stories that humans tell, retell, and reframe are the ones people do not generally recognize as stories at all. These are referred to as “metanarratives” -- ideologies, religions, and cultures. People do not even recognize them as stories, but rather tend to take them as an unarticulated background, the taken-for-granted truth, the way things really are. Our entangled world of stories includes many tragedies, too immense to even comprehend; but it is also a story of cosmic and comic improbabilities resulting in many fortuitous new possibilities. And thereby hangs a tale.
Archetypes are repetitious information-rich embedded directives --an informational, rational, and meaning-carrying structure that works by creating a field of influence and whose effect is not limited by space and time parameters. It is a kind of universal blueprint that underlies natural life. Itself unknowable, the archetype serves as a cornucopia from which themes, motifs, tendencies, and behaviors arise. We recognize these universal shapers of experience.
The quality of each archetype is a reflection of the pattern that embodies it. Repetition is resonance. A particular emotion is simply an impulse that pulls us into resonant conformance with a particular archetype. Archetypes build on, feed on, and regulate one another. Archetypes introduce erratic behavior that leads to the emergence of new situations, including pathologizing and creative insight. They share a similar field pattern that is paradoxically both the source of disease manifestation and its ultimate healing.
In the Jungian sense, order and chaos are not strictly archetypes. Rather they are meta-types, tendencies, potentials, paths, waiting to be materialized and made use of by archetypes. Chaos and order are still regarded as states of matter and of energy, as organizational principles, as residents of the twilight zone between the mental or subjective and the external, the "objective". Consequent effects are not necessarily random and chaotic because of an inherent order that emerges at the edge of chaos. This order does not occur according to a “blueprint” or prior determination. It is created out of the chaotic conditions themselves.
A-Field
Archetypes can be compared to a blueprint or a genetic code, representing predetermined plans for the structure, function and development of each aspect of human life. These archetypal patterns are the common foundations of our personality traits, drives, feelings, beliefs, motivations and actions. Archetypes involve all aspects of our lives.
Archetypes are structuring principles/numinous fields/forms of indefinable content which, when manifest, will express that content through symbol (image). Jung affirms the symbol as grounded in the unconscious archetype while their manifest forms are shaped by the ideas harboring in the conscious mind (the "I" value). The archetype, therefore, is a structuring principle that is itself without a structure. This is why the notion of a field works well with archetypes. The archetype of Light is the personifications of the field itself.
Von Franz observes that the archetypes are interconnected in a continuous field. A field can be understood as a region or space where something happens. If each archetype has as its "energetic component" a field can store and shape information, matter, and behavior. So, we can hypothesize that the archetypal field serves as the ground of being or the ground of creation from which form arises. While an electromagnetic or gravitational field is space and time dependent, an archetypal field appears to be "nonlocal"-- not limited to the mandates of space and time.
An archetype is a primary patterning upon which manifestation organizes itself in self-similar formulae recurring in human experience. They work through the creation of attractors -- complexes, magnetic epicenters creating the convergence of archetypal potentialities into singularities, highly patterned behavioral tendencies that draw specific facets of archetypes. Entelechy is all about the possibilities encoded in each of us. This entelechy principle can be expressed symbolically as a god or a guide. We feel its presence as the inspiration or motivation that helps us get life moving again after times of stress or stagnation.
A "field" of activity and influence surrounds an archetype, like the magnetic field around a magnet, or the gravitational field around a planet. An archetypal complex is the experiential equivalent of a force field or a magnetic field in physics, producing an integrated pattern or gestalt out of many diverse particulars. Any given archetypal complex always contains problematic and pathological shadow tendencies intertwined with more salutary, fruitful, and creative ones, all of which inhere in potentia in each complex (Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche, 105).
Every archetype has its own embedded field -- the "archetypal field," or "a-field." The a-field and ZPE field are complementary if not identical. An archetypal complex as "a coherent field of archetypally connected meanings, experiences, and psychological tendencies. They are expressed in perceptions, emotions, images, attitudes, beliefs, fantasies, and memories. Synchronistic external events and historical and cultural phenomena also appear to be informed by a dominant archetypal principle or combination of such principles.
Jung connected the phenomenon of synchronicity to psychic conditions. He felt inner and outer realities (subjective and objective) evolved through the archetypes. Jung theorized that these archetypal images belonged to a part of the unconscious not derived from personal experience. The archetypal images form the "collective unconscious". This collective is all things working synergetically, totality of consciousness vibrating and working as one coherent mass of energy.
The field of all archetypes is the existential ground of our being, but different archetypes may be more prominent at any given time. Such a conceptual field may be more or less co-extensive with biopsychosocial fields. The field archetype defines the interface that all field implementations must satisfy. The distinguishing feature of an archetype is its schema. A schema defines the fields of an archetype. Archetypes specify a static default value for a field.
As part of the cosmic holographic field, archetypes are nested hierarchies. They appear transpersonal and numinous because every part of the hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole. The implicate (implied) order is the holographic medium. Matter and consciousness have implicate order in common.
Each particle is an image constructed from information enfolded into a vacuum, providing a dynamic order in which change anywhere in the pattern is mirrored by the whole. The part projects itself by its self-similarity in the whole and the whole in the part, with different degrees of resolution and angles of perspective. The implicate order is a holographic medium that connects apparently disconnected individuals/ experiences/ information. Our consciousness is not three-dimensional, but multidimensional.
PsycHOLOgy
Peat said complexes create a type of antenna around individuals tuning them in and aligning them with the specific frequency of an archetype. This tuning is a complicated, fascinating, and surprisingly exacting phenomena.
It works by creating alignments and entrainments with only those segments of life which match the constant of the constellated archetype. A pre-existing principle of organization within the personality manifests as a psychological vortex (a complex) into which we are drawn. The vortex is impersonal.
In other words, only those themes and issues which resonant with the individual's alignment of an archetype will be constellated. Information about archetypal fields, as well as important information about one's life, is holographically encoded in the most minute details and interactional patterns in a person's life.
Any change in the hologram pattern is mirrored across the hologram as a whole. But, different distributed parts yield different perspectives of the whole relative to where the part is located in the hologram. Self-observation and taking action is vital for change to occur. Change implies novelty and an opening up of a system, or mind, to new information and possibilities Change is a form in itself, so great amounts of energy are required to support the development of its new structures.
The process of repetition, or replication, is the means by which a form, a living system, or a human behavior becomes stabilized, recognizable, and characteristic. Patterns are important in the generation of form. They are material representations of archetypal, informational fields in space and time. They exist as external mappings of internal processes. It is through patterns, an intentional series of steps that are repeated in a highly consistent and sequenced way, that a unique archetypal alignment becomes incarnate in the outer world, taking tangible shape.
Laszlo explains that the pattern, which can change, is a manifestation of the information contained within a field and is not in and of itself autonomous. In many respects Laszlo's distinction between patterns and informational fields parallels Jung's understanding of the relationship between symbol and archetype. The pattern, like the symbol, emerges from an archetypal context, standing as the representation and "settling" in the form of the field. Both views attribute the generation of the original information represented in the form of a pattern, logically, to the source: the archetypal informational field (a-field).
The brain establishes resonance patterns as it works to process new information. Through processes of replication and resonance, the brain processes and metabolizes novelty through a type of cross-referencing of the new event with what is already known and has already been experienced. This cross-referential processing produces a resonance between past and current events, so new information and experience are understood through their relationship to prior knowledge. Cross-referencing makes what was novel familiar by drawing it into a resonance with what is already known. These are not humanly contrived, consciously derived operations. Instead they exist as the psyche's or nature's way for making connections and building relationships.
According to Conforti (1999), the regularity of pattern repetition in life speaks to the strength of the preformed, archetypal constellations that are continually made manifest and influence much of individual and collective life. The formula is archetype > field > repetition > change. The enduring nature of the patterns and their tendency to introduce the individual to the "destiny" factor, suggests that archetypal informational fields exist as the central organizing factor in life.
Each manifestation of form appears in the world through a consolidation of the informational content of a DNA or archetypal blueprint, then congeals into a recognizable pattern. Perturbation interrupts such stable patterns. Intrusive informational catastrophes introduce highly divergent material that the system has to respond to by either adaptation and integration or through the strengthening of the denial structures.
Jung attributed negentropic effects to the Self, but it is simply a meta-property of the a-field. "Free-energy" (ZPE) enters the field of time when it leaves the archetypal world. Laszlo asserted the archetypes' naturalistic status approaching them through systems science with information (negentropy). Transcending fundamental dualities (wave-particle, experience-information, part-whole, and non-local), ZPE is unconditioned archetypal creative energy. Archetypal fields function non-locally in that their influence is not space-time dependent.
Archetype, as source, is the totality of absences. We cannot see the archetype because the real source of thing behind ideas defines the whole permutational space of the essence the totality of metaconstraint that gives rise to all the objects of that kind. It tranduces universals from Pluriverse / Kosmos / World / Domain / Meta-system to special systems: System/Form/Pattern/Monad/Facet.
Superspatial and supertemporal force, archetypes are composed of dynamic tensions that arise spontaneously in the individual and collective psyche; autonomous energies common to the human species. They give the psyche its dynamic properties and help organize it. They are part of the negentropic aggregate that is the fine structure with conceptual commonalities, within the larger whole, accelerating down the aeons. Their effects as memetic entities can be seen in many forms and across cultures. We need bigger stories than those that defined reality in the 20th century. Science imagines it tells this story in objective terms with measurable, socially agreed upon precision. Jung emphasized balance within the system as ideal, whereas Hillman favors variety and complexity of optimal system functioning.
In Jungian psychology, such patterns of motivation are usually equated with personality types, codified gods and goddesses, or developmental archetypes. Archetypes are human types in pure form. But the model tells us little about the deep inherent nature of the holistic dynamic system in which they and ourselves arise. To do so requires crossing and collapsing boundaries to include many disciplines. The dual of ideas, highlighting the unities and absences of aspects of being, archetypes self-organize the unconscious. Jung's collective unconscious consists of archetypal infolded EM structures.
The interactions of multiple archetypes from the cosmic to individual perspective include physics, chaos theory, complexity, network theory, neurology, genetics, system dynamics, and a variety of other relevant fields which can be applied to facets of archetypal heuristics. Yet, as tiny islands of negentropy in an immense chaotic sea, archetypes precondition all reality assertions we might make.
How can we represent dynamic change in systems? One transdisciplinary means of approach is the notion of archetypes, which we can call "the a-field" and charged a-field elements. The soul's motivation is to explore the archetypes of spirit, discerning soul's motivation through intuition. This motivation is not contrary to the motivation of ego or the a-field elements.
In addition to the motivation from ego and soul, there are motivations which derive from various dynamics and mental functions. These modes of motivation are mechanical defaults which we use when we are not directed by the fresh, creative guidance of intuition. In the Jungian model, soul uses all of this spectrum experiences as a means for learning about the dynamics of spirit and its archetypes, much like physicist use the electromagnetic spectrum.
We often gravitate toward an archetype of a particular motivation to gain emotional satisfaction. The best way to create “emotional affinity” through meaning is to use archetypal images to fulfill “basic human desires and motivations”. The best way to create “emotional affinity” through meaning is to use archetypal images to fulfill “basic human desires and motivations. Projection is a two way street where internal perceptions are projected outwardly even as archetypal formation structures and conditions response. It inescapably conditions our evaluations of internal and external phenomena, the particular and the universal. We are embodied as concrete particulars.
James Harvey Stout outlined some archetypal default settings, including desire, pleasure and pain:
Charged archetypal-field elements. In every situation, we are confronting archetypes. Intuition can guide us in generating the particular elements (i.e., thoughts, images, energy tones, and actions) which constitute an appropriate response to those archetypes. However, if we are not aware of intuition (or if we ignore it), our thoughts, imagery, energy tones, and actions will not be entirely appropriate; for example, we will not say exactly what needs to be said. Because of this inappropriateness, the elements do not fully discharge their charge; instead, when they leave their permanent record in the archetypal field, there is a charge which lingers. It is this charge which compels us to recreate the archetypal situation for the specific purpose of discharging the residual energy. Thus, much of our motivation derives from these charged elements; for example, if we have generated hateful thoughts toward "irresponsible people," we will be compulsively motivated to perform irresponsible acts until we have resolved the charge. (This compulsion is often called "karma.")
Values. During a decision-making process, the mind refers to our "values"; we might discover that we value "enjoyment." We feel motivated to comply with our values; contrarily, when we do not comply with our values, we experience the painful sensation of "guilt." When we are motivated by our values, we are energized and excited; we find the drive and desire and resources to endeavor, and we feel satisfaction when the goals are reached, regardless of people's reaction. What we have achieved is real to us, because it satisfies our values. But if we accept other people's values as our own, we probably feel a weaker drive and an emptiness at the conclusion (if we had enough enthusiasm to persist toward the completion at all). http://www.theorderoftime.com/politics/cemetery/stout/h/motivat.htm
Who's in Charge?
Symbolic thinking comes at a price. Ego imagines it controls our being, but archetypes play through us nonstop, conditioning our behavior, emotions, ideas and beliefs, especially about ourselves. Neural and hormonal control through the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems is regulated by forces most never think about.
We are largely unaware of the "holographic" psychoid field that connects us with the greater environment and bioenergetic charge. We can't see them, but we notice their effects. The archetype manifests itself on the level of material substance, on the level of human psychology as well as on the level of physical pathology, through similar mechanisms.
When basic elements are missing in an archetype, it is evidence of a "pathology." Its protean richness is circumscribed by an inherent archetypal structure and a pragmatically demonstrable phenomenology. Archetypes are the potential energy similar to a spectrum both within and beyond our sensibilities and knowledge. Therefore, pathology does not exist in the archetypal realm. Only personal or cultural over-identification locks the dynamic into a pathological response pattern.
Archetypes also play an important role in the genesis of scientific theories and in scientific discoveries. Jung spoke of a “psychoid” level of the psyche, located in the unconscious, that functions as a kind of transformative interface between psyche and matter, or mind and body. However, Jung was interested in the emotional, affective core of archetypes -- the interface of mind and body, including their relationship to archetype.
Nature's laws are the instruments of top down control. Carolyn Myss calls archetypes “the language system of the soul”. Managing our power of choice is the creative and spiritual essence of the human experience. Yet, even "remedy" or "healing" is an archetype -- the "universal medicine" of alchemy. It is liberating and healing to step out of pathologizing ourselves and re-contextualize our personal conflicts, problems and wounds as part of a wider transpersonal pattern enfolded throughout the global field of human experience.
Paul Levy claims, "Our wound introduces and connects us with the transpersonal dimension of our being, whose realization, amazingly enough, initiates the transformation and potential healing of our wound. Simultaneously containing both the pathology and its own medicine, our wound is a higher-dimensional event which has manifested in the flat-land of our third dimensional life. Symbolically encoded in the wound, uniquely tailored to our exact sensibility and aesthetic, is both the seeming “problem” and its own re-solution co-joined in a state of open-ended and boundless, indwelling potentiality."
Through psychophysical means, archetypes exert a topdown and bottom up control on psyche and society. None of us are immune to their inherent influence but they affect our immunity, resilience, and metabolism, health and well-being. Unconscious topdown control leads to automatic emotional control. Psychophysical feedback completes the bottom-up regulation of attention and awareness. Functional integration unites the process. Moral sentiments and values are linked to compassion. With altruism, social concepts and values are actualized through decisions and goal-directed behavior. Topdown controlled alpha band activity determines how we perceive sensory information.
However, archetypes also condition our pathologies, which can be compounded by trauma, personality disorders, and neurological brain damage. Frontal lobe damage leads to lack of foresight, impulsiveness, rigidity, poor planning, impaired moral cognition and behavior, and and poor social judgment. Temporal lobe damage amplifies impaired social perception and conduct, and loss of empathy. Subcortical limbic damage leads to extreme violence, perversion and sociopathy. Motivation and abstract content are impaired. Visceral-emotional bias leads to bottom-up control of the ego. Reason alone does not save us from such holographic field effects that often bootstrap on our childhood traumas.
Psyche depends on body and body depends on psyche. Depth psychology describes psychic contents with psychic means. Psyche is subject and object, medium and message. Models, questions and proofs all originate in the human mind. And even in physics there is no objective observer outside the universe to experiment on it. Jung contended the common background of physics and depth psychology was psychic as much as physical. This essential third element is transcendental. Both disciplines engage in a reflective interior search for hidden connections along with the outward gaze of scientific inquiry.
The archetypes of the collective unconscious are arrayed behind, yet infused in the scenes of our personal lives, and current worldwide conditions of crisis and confusion. They mirror our own states back at us, whether we notice, perceive them as such, or interpret them plausibly or not. They catch us in our psychological blindspots. We might be fascinated, even obsessed, with the paranormal or unexplainable experiences. Activated archetypes compensate for the one-sidedness of the times and provide preset ways to adapt. They show that a person's problem is also a problem of humanity, a basic human concern. It's healing to know the general human meaning of the problem.
The basis of learning and experience, they personify characteristics of the current state of the psyche. They contextualize our suffering. Functional at deeper levels, they display psyche's self regulatory system to consciousness in symbolic form. Soul only exists in one of their forms. Every event is infused with the meanings of all variants. Soul enters only via symptoms, via outcast phenomena. Taking fantasies literally and also confusing the literal and the concrete is a fundamentalist approach.
The curse of each god and its blindspot are as important to the affective pattern as the virtues it confers. Powerful symbol sets are self-validating and may appear magical. Archetypes attract, convince, fascinate, and overpower. Yet without any means to grasp high weirdness more than literally, we uncritically "believe" it concretely. Many fall victim to half-baked theories and overstatements from pop physics and pop psychology or their own narratives. Sometimes our experiences are self-deluding; our interpretations aren't accurate. The noise of ordinary consciousness and beliefs drowns out the signal. Unconsciousness is the mysterious background of our ordinary awareness.
Creativity is another word for insight. The creative person is different, a fact which they, themselves, recognize. They always ask questions about things which puzzle them, they are honest, shy, bashful, they appear inconsiderate, determined, persistent, industrious, never bored, spirited in disagreement, unwilling to accept the judgment of authority, and, they are visionary. The creative person may like to work alone and to strive for distant goals. As Torrance has pointed out, many of these characteristics, taken singly, may be desirable, but taken in combination they make the creative child a difficult child. (Paul Henrickson, private email)
Meta- Levels
Our whole psychophysical organism is very much at the center of such effects. Imaginal space is a net of multiple images and meaning -- the ground of meaning and metaphor. The organismic source is our human bodies and the focus of human consciousness. The fantasy principle dethrones reality, but can be dissociative or compensatory. The human mind is a meme-scape, subject to the distortions of cultural "viruses."
Structurally organized archetypes play a central role as powerful intrusions of archetypal energy in the formation of complex and symptom These intrusions lead to particular patterns of fragmentation in the behavioral and cognitive presentations. Pre-conceived concepts vie with structures, concepts with images, constructions with deconstruction and spectacle. We bamboozle ourselves. Unless we apply certain illuminative processes to our deeper life, it remains hidden in the shadows. The patterns expressed by archetypes remain beyond our awareness. We stay in the dark about much of our being.
For example, Robert Moore calls the trickster archetype, "psyche's answer to oppression and grandiosity." Fearless and uncompromising, it exposes pretension and pomposity wherever it is manifest -- either in self or other. If possessed by this archetype, however, one becomes a compulsive critic who seeks to ridicule, shame, and humiliate without compassion. Meant to be an agent of liberation and the ally of new creations, the shadow expression of this psychological structure becomes the enemy of both creativity and creation itself.
Automatic Trance States
Archetypes appear unbidden, "possessing" us with trance states that exemplify their typical qualities. The existence of archetypes is demonstrated in the analysis of adult and childhood dreams, active imagination, psychotic delusions, and fantasies produced in the trance state. Such trances condition and cloud our vision. Client-centered therapy uses the trance state as a doorway to a larger world beyond the walls of the conscious psyche.
Everybody sees their own fantasies through their own memes. This deeper level manifests itself in universal archaic images expressed in dreams, religious beliefs, myths, and fairytales. The archetypes, as unfiltered psychic experience, appear sometimes in their most primitive and naive forms (in dreams), sometimes in a considerably more complex form due to the operation of conscious elaboration (in myths).
For James Hillman the task of the therapist is "to keep the snake there". He wants the psyche, by way of the limitless depths of its images to "threaten the hell out of you," to keep you in the realm of the unknown for as long as possible, and it is in this way that real psychological work can begin. Hillman's views here are close to the Kabbalist Azriel of Gerona's charge that to have "faith" is to enter into a relationship with one's "nothingness" and the "unknown" of the infinite, Ein-sof. It also accords well with those elements within the Kabbalah that deny the possibility of cognitive, as opposed to experiential, knowledge of the divine. (Drob)
Like scientists who ignore their own assumed truths, we leapfrog over our beliefs, blindspots, and personality deficits, claiming idiosyncratic imagination as literal reality. It couldn't be further from the existential truth and symbolism is utterly lost. Superstitiously looking for signs or mind-blowing synchronicities is no substitute for actively interacting in a healthy process of self-transformation -- individuation.
When meaning is usurped by media mania, a 24/7 assault on the senses, the metaphors that might heal us overwhelm and enslave us. Archetypes function as programming options, modulating our emotional addictions to pain, fear and suffering, contempt, insecurities, doubt, failure, even love. The images that heal emerge from our insight and realizations, not ones imposed on us from without. All events are holographically recorded and can be holographically healed.
All archetypes are a form of human expression that is both holographic and physical. Physical formations of archetypal sequences cause humans to behave in parallel ways to each associated ancestor, experience or process. Integration is a function of intentionality -- conscious and unconsciously maintained, or incorporated. Integration occurs both without effort, as a redesign of the central processor of our minds, and voluntarily as a deliberate effort to understand, find meaning, and rectify our behavior towards self, others and world. Sometimes when we lose ourselves in transcendent experiences, we somehow come back reborn and full of compassion. We are nurtured by the depths.
Images, like the holographic universe, have an implicate order -- a deeper enfolded dimension. Memories aren't localized in one place, but are spread across the associative areas of the brain. Associative areas aren't set aside for particular functions like speech production, language comprehension, and memory encoding. Instead, they are responsible for all "miscellaneous" tasks. Each associative area seems to contain echoes of all of the information. Symbols arise from and are embedded in the environment as holographic fields of energy. There are innumerable morphogenic veils of primal forces.
Nonlocal Creative Source
Can we have a sense of the cosmos in the world without unwittingly projecting myriad fantasies on it that we embrace literally? Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that we cannot escape our entangled embedding in the universe; we are indissolubly connected. Has the world become so horrible it is unreasonable to be realistic? Perhaps we know far too many ways for it to end and not nearly enough ways to reconstitute. We may need to look at our drives and wishes, rather than the fantasy content. In content-free therapy, the narrative is less relevant than the process itself. We have to factor in our own desires in our own logic tests and philosophy of natural realization.
The capacity for transcending the self through art arises from the creative process, an altered state of consciousness facilitating the occurrence of anomalous events such as precognition and interior visions that appear to be outside the spacetime of waking life. Frustration can trigger the far-from-equilibrium conditions necessary for creativity, while inspiration may seem as if its source is exterior to the artist, and the experience of flow, like a trance state, can produce an altered sense of time. Archetypes in the creative process link a single mind to the collective unconscious and works of art become self-opening worlds that create an expanded reality. (Zausner)
The Great Unknown lies behind Jung's transcendent function and mostly we remain clueless in the face of this Mystery even as we encounter its inescapable phenomenology. Non-ordinary states of consciousness reveal a hidden holographic order. However, unlke recreational altered states, only integrative states radically reorganize the psyche and brain. Lesser states can destabilize habitual adaptation, leaving us fragile with split assumptions
Conflict arises from destabilizing information and experience. Clarity comes in realizing we cannot permanently function in that realm because archetypes don't understand our personality needs as they play out their own agendas. Deconstructing of reality is a dangerous as well as prospective process not all psyches survive intact. This is why historically we have spiritual and religious guides to that realm. But, again, you'd best be careful who those guides are and what they actually lead toward -- increased health and well-being or disintegration.
Psyche constructs reality. Our experience of so-called reality is always mediated by our image of it. Our image of it is now conditioned by new media. Even if all the contents of the psyche are real, that doesn't mean they are realistic. That psyche is real is still a radical proposition, but psychic politics certainly color the self-image and ideas of everyone. We observe and participate with images, but if we navigate this dream-scape poorly we become essentially "lost at sea."
It is not a question of nature or nurture (genes alone or experience alone). Rather, everything is both. We inherit the structures that make our experience what it is. But the structure itself is “empty,” and each human culture “fills” it with its own specific adaptations. It is difficult to define an archetype and set boundaries that distinguish it from others. In a hologram each part contains all the information but in lower resolution. Archetypes have this interpenetrating holographic quality. There are patterns within patterns within patterns. Some overlap with others, and some are nested inside others.
Archetypal realities, passed on through DNA, are expressed in distinctive neuronal tracts in the brain. They include customs and laws regarding property, incest, marriage, kinship, and social status or roles; myths and legends; beliefs about the supernatural and cosmos; gambling, adultery, homicide, schizophrenia, and the therapies to deal with them. A mythic and visionary language of immediate experience encompasses themes of deepest, highest, and ultimate concern.
Holistic individualism is a construct. Most fantasy-based individuals are at a complete loss to coherently explain their own conventional behavior much less anomalous events and their deep meaning, or the cultural unconscious, or mythological unconscious matrix. But they try, and become utterly entrenched in their belief that they are right about the nature of the world and reality. We have pseudo-memories about our personal lives. Why not moreso for our collective life?
Studies show that magical thinking in New Age adherents is correlated with schizotypal traits, emotional oversensitivity, and cognitive-perceptual looseness. The subject matter often revolves around escapist fantasy, catastrophe, creation and the mythopoeic forces of mankind. Ignorant of such dynamics, interpretive mistakes and displaced psychic contents proliferate into errors of fact. Propaganda, media distortions, memes, and disinformation compound the social problem of misapprehension further. Farias
Shameless self-promotion by narcissistic personalities of such alternative ideas leads to cults. They make up myths about the myths of by-gone eras. Roiling unconscious images can be fatally confusing. Thought illusions culminate in personal projections and collective projections of mythology. Jung suggested symbols live only as long as they are pregnant with meaning.
Philosophy arose from criticism of myth, from discussing and challenging it. In science, we criticize, reject and eliminate theories. At the edge of the abyss of the unknown, new signs and symbols emerge. Credible theories and paradigms must include biology, physics, and neurophysiology.
Is it God or Memorex?
One of the reasons people "see God", or a guru, or anomalies may be because our brains are constructed to see reality through the eyes of others. There are heaps of mirror neurons which are there to make us feel the 'other'. Mirror neurons do for psychology what DNA did for biology. They provide a unifying framework and help explain a host of mental abilities.
As in the psychochemical processes of empathy or falling in love, a complex feedback loop sustains a state of mind. But when we empathically transpose ourselves into someone else's position, we expose ourselves to that reality -- cognitively and emotionally. The unconscious complicates empathy, both ways. Mirror neurons might well play a role in bonding, language and self-awareness.
If the archetypes have a location neurostructures instantiate them. It's not impossible that we can believe in God because we obviously have a brain center that specializes in fatherly images. Behavioral paradigms have been found to have neural representation, puberty being the best known of them. The archetypes are often, if not usually, found in the various deities worshiped in a culture, and they reinforce the roles people experience during the different phases of their lives, able to advise or give guidance about almost any situation.
Naively, we take too much as self-evident. But 'seeing' is not always 'believing', though many make this error or leap in logic and formulate their choices and future accordingly. Yet, there is only one way to learn what consciousness is -- experience. But we have no satisfactory explanatory edifice for consciousness. Would such a theory release in each of us our own inner knowledge of the creativity of our own consciousness, and its infinite possibilities?
The problem is trying to define a verb, a dynamic, as if it were a noun. Consciousness is present everywhere in spacetime, so has no need to “go” or “be sent” via a medium or carrier. Synchronous events, including intentional or directed healing, may work via coherence, an entanglement or resonance effect, but we should be careful not to mistake this field effect for the mind itself, which permeates and undergirds all.
Conclusions
We live in a chaotic universe to which we are seamlessly wed. We are a chaotic system ourselves, and chaotic systems exhibit holistic behavior. Holism sees the world in all its diversity as connected. A global wave of information (consciousness) is responsible for the extraordinary coherence that expresses as self-organization. We are one with the whole universe of phenomena and being in the deepest sense. The unifying force is consciousness.
But we do recognize the effect of consciousness. It functions to mediate states of consciousness, high and low psychobiological arousal. Consciousness is the subconscious lifted up by the physical body. When the body fails, the consciousness collapses back into the subconscious. All our thoughts come from the subconscious which can see our intentions but not our world. This relates somehow to intention being imaginary and not of the physical frictionized world (King).
Gerald Edelman postulates that the flows of information in the brain are mediated through ‘re-entrant' feedback loops. As evolution provides new cognitive functions, new re-entrant loops are established. Even language itself is an archetype -- a chaotic field of dynamic associations. A subtle net of tropes, narrative, grammar, symbols, associations, and meaning, the program language begins in limbic resonance. Some phenomena generate their own specialty language patterns, nomenclature, and internal coherence of meaning and representation.
In a holographic universe, even time and space can no longer be viewed as fundamentals. Concepts such as location break down in a universe in which nothing is truly separate from anything else. Time and three-dimensional space also have to be viewed as projections of this deeper order. Core mystical experiences of transformation usher us into this holographic domain of pure frequencies, altered states of consciousness, and revelations.
Altered states open the way to polyphasic depth and engaging meaning. We learn to tolerate the irrational and holographically experience the simultaneity of cosmos and individual life. At its deeper level, reality is a sort of super hologram in which the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper tools someday we might reach into the super holographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from the long-forgotten past.
Or not. A fantasy of such penetration or phenomenon inside the head is not the same as that penetration.
In ancient times imagination, fantasy and intuition were considered an essential part of medical care. Solidarity with nature means healing. Healing itself, Jung says, always comes in some wholly unexpected way from the unknown -- like a miracle -- individually and culturally. Until it arrives, we grope in the dark. Yet, that very darkness contains the seeds of light. We often find some "object" in the imaginal realm that is healing. In creative imaginal time, events are lived outside linear time, and time may even be "reversed". Moments of insight harmonize verbal, active and imaginal modes of being.
There are times “the web” appears as the archetypal field, that mythical web of light across a field of stars and the scintillating flux of subspace that undergirds our being. A pulsating primal information field virtually 'bleeds' into manifestation from matter/anti-matter annihilation. As the aphorism goes, there is form without void. While we are concerned with figurative objects, the ground remains largely unacknowledged or unexplored.
Intuition and critical thinking must balance one another. Each of us rediscovers cosmic rhythms and significant archetypal positions at the heart of our being. But we accept them uncritically at our existential peril. At extremes, this leads to eccentricity, zealotry, and fanaticism, not wisdom and understanding. The drama of the modern world proceeds from the profound disequilibrium of the psyche, individual as well as collective.
We have to dig beneath our own motivations, prejudices, hidden agendas, and habitual thinking. To understand how we work, we need to explore the metapatterns of being. Primordial images, because of their universality and immense antiquity possess a cosmic and supra-human character, each of which can condition or warp our views of reality with their own 'gravity' fields. Our circumstances are a webwork conditioned by archetypal interrelationships.
We don't need to resurrect pre- or pseudoscientific, superstitious practices of our ancestors as much as foster the emergence of a wholly new order. The unconscious creative force is spirit. In our unconscious condition we connect with spiritual ground; consciously we live from it, rooted in gnosis. It lights up our being.
Theories need to be grounded. The same is true for a theory of archetypes as for a general theory of the universe and consciousness. These archetypes, which belong to humankind and are therefore of a collective nature, impelled Jung to suggest that in the unconscious mind we are all the same. Multidisciplinary science is verifying his intuitive notion.
The human psyche possesses a common substratum containing the myths and legends of all peoples regardless of differences in culture or personal experience. But we must discriminate or separate these symbols from those others which may have a merely personal dimension, which leads to disequilibrium. An invasion of archetypes leads to self-delusion.
Non-Determinstic Psychology
For Jung, the collective unconscious is the world of the Gods and spirits, but also physics. Eliade defined archetypes as "exemplary models" or paradigms", and paradigms underlie our worldview much like subspace supports material manifestation. It is our archetypal nature to begin with assumptions about reality, to move to hypotheses, which yield coherent theories, which we realize are only models of reality, including our experience of ourselves. Conscious attachment to romanticism, fixed ideas and beliefs blocks the process, distorting and warping creative experience and vision.
For Eliade, symbolic thinking is rooted in the inner layer of our being, is consubstantial with human existence, and comes before language and discursive reason: "The symbol reveals certain aspects of reality -- the deepest aspects -- which defy any other means of knowledge .... Images, symbols, and myths respond to a need and fulfill a function, that of bringing to light the most hidden modalities of being." They may become mutilated or degraded, but are never extirpated nor ever disappear from the reality of the psyche. Furthermore, for Eliade, the unconscious is more philosophical and poetic than the conscious. It possesses a spiritual authenticity superior to conscious living.
Holism and physics essentially suggest that human beings potentially exist in multiple realities. Relevant issues include knowledge about the true nature of total metaphysical and physical (hyperspacetime and spacetime) reality, its electro-gravitational dynamics, holofractal geometries, the nature of information storage, transformation, transmission, and perception. Counterpoint to such explorations includes pro-active relationship with archetypal dynamics and transformational processes. This experiential process helps us comprehend how unconditioned "universal" energy transduces into the particulars of matter and events.
The universe is our "parent fractal" from the cosmological to microcosmic scale. Fractals are dynamic process-structures that etch time into space. They are boundary keepers that negotiate spatial and temporal interfaces between different forces and dimensions of being. Fractals provide the paradoxical foundation by which different levels of nature both connect and separate. Every boundary becomes a door, every border a portal. Because the same dynamics hold inside as well as outside the psyche, fractal geometry provides a bridge and language for linking inside and outside worlds.
Whether they occur in nature, our bodies or minds, fractal boundaries reveal infinite, hidden frontiers in the space between ordinary, Euclidean dimensions. As they occur around and inside our bodies, fractals occupy the complicated interface between various forces in nature. As they occur in the psyche, fractals arise out of endless feedback loops between self and other in relationships. Our sense of self, once again paradoxical in being both open and closed, arises dynamically in the transitional space between people. It appears that everywhere they arise, fractals occupy the boundary zone between. (Marks-Tarlow)
Each of us enters the Probability Cloud of Unknowing, extracting our knowledge and wisdom from the holographic blur of infinite potentials or archetypal superpositions underlying our experiential reality. When we see through the Cloud of Unknowing, we gain freedom from instinct, and consciously realize the powerful influences of the archetypal powers. All human experiences, interpretations, descriptions, representations, images, and formulas meet in the depth dimension of the primordial field. Magic happens in the gaps. Boundary situations are where we enounter the Unknown. Inherent influential symbols and mythical themes survive in the psyche of modern man.
Most people are consumed by the contents of their experience, rather than learning the dynamics of the overall process and its effects in determining beliefs, thoughts, emotions and behavior. Without an overview of the processes of psychology and physics we fall into idiosyncratic theories based on highly limited understanding and experience. Without such understanding, wisdom is hampered by system error. This is the source of both factual error and faulty conclusions. The archetype of the Void is the primary archetype of the 21st Century.
Fundamental to all experience are the opposites of emptiness and fullness, space and substance, sound and silence, something and nothing. We not only meet these polarities at every moment in the gap between breaths, the silence between sounds, comprehension our existence is empty space -- existing and not existing. Its counterpoint is focused personal attention. The archetype of the void is about meeting it with awareness. For many people this can be a difficult or frightening thing.
We tend to think of the void as a huge nothingness, a vacuum in which the human personality will disappear. This can seem very frightening, that behind everything is a sort of nothingness. The amusing thing is that this is an everyday human experience. In sleep we have dropped into that void. Our personality has indeed, as far as we are concerned, melted away and disappeared. Yet the next morning we awake and all is well. We have survived.
The conscious meeting with the void is part of the gradual expanding of personal awareness. Part of our world is the full surround virtual reality of dreams and imagination, but there are dimensions beyond imagery, beyond form, beyond the opposites, beyond personal separate existence. This is the void, and to confront it consciously is a transformative experience.
Nothing Matters
ZPE-originated fields are located everywhere (in the Planck false vacuum) and their ultimate radial extension is infinite — they interpenetrate each other in the vast sea of pulsating cosmic spacetime. Together they constitute the basis of our holographic universe. This entire cycle of cosmic radiation, inflation, expansion, involution, compression, starting from and ending at the zero-point singularity (fundamental spin momentum) of absolute (zero-point) space, is the fundamental root of the "holographic principle" which underlies all phenomenal reality.
All structural information is contained in the infinite spin-momentum (singularity) source of all (harmonic) fractal involved cosmic fields, along with all particle standing waves (as well as all their formative combination's and permutations) at different frequency phase orders. All information is transformed from field to field by phase conjugate adaptive resonance.
Einstein said, 'Nothing happens until something moves.' Action at a distance occurs when pairs of quantum particles become entangled. Entanglement originated in the mind of Albert Einstein, who ironically came up with the notion trying to disprove quantum mechanics, a branch of physics he mistrusted all his life. Under the theory, if two particles, say electrons, are created together, some of their attributes will become "entangled." If the two are then separated, doing something to one instantly affects the other. This would happen whether they were next to each other or across the universe.
For instance, electrons act as if they have tiny bar magnets that point up or down, described by an attribute called "spin." If the two electrons are entangled through their spins -- up or down -- and a scientist measures the spin of one, the spin of the other will react even if one is on a lab table in Oxford and the other were on a planet near the star Antares, 1,000 light years away. Instantly. This means that the information about the change traveled faster than the speed of light -- which Einstein said was impossible -- or that long distances are some kind of illusion.
Entanglement is the ‘spooky action’ that coordinates the properties of separated particles. Non-local particles remain connected despite separation over time or space because space and time emerge from fundamentally spaceless and timeless physics. Quantum-holographic fields are responsible for our consciousness and memory which are non-local distributed fields. Consciousness also includes awareness, perception, attention and understanding.
Fundamental processes of nature lie outside space-time, generating events that can be located in space-time. Archetypal fields appear to function non-locally. Their influence is not space-time dependent. Therefore, according to quantum mechanics, they are secondary to entanglements which are primary. “Quantum entanglement” operates in processes taking place in DNA and its environment (Ogryzko, 2008).
There is a hypothesis about quantum entanglement (nonlocality) between genetic material of parents and descendants. At conception DNA of descendants “interacted” with the genotypes of the parents. By extrapolation of such assumptions, kin and non-kin may share quantum entanglement within quite large groups of individuals, originating out of Africa, or later isolated antic populations during glacial refugia. We are inextricably linked to one another.
Archetypes link us to one another as much as genes. Material carriers of consciousness emerge from projected forms of DNA, including brain neurons and the central nervous system. In addition, molecular orbitals (electron shells) of nuclear DNA of nerve cells appear as “carriers” of consciousness. This conforms with Karl Pribram's theory of the holographic principle of brain functioning.
Wave-genetics is more fundamental than electrochemical transfer of nerve impulses in determination of consciousness. Thus, archetypes are deeply rooted in our heritable nature, through aspects common to quantum information and condensed matter. Though they cannot specify behavior, genes must enable behavior.
Fundamental to the personality, archetypes are what moves and what moves us. Our lives are profoundly influenced by these archetypal rhythms, which arise from the subtext of reality. We are entangled in their eternal plotlines and mythemes. The heart of any archetypal pattern is its underlying motivations that fuse matter, imagery, desire, and basic human instinct.
Key sources of motivation give rise to human behavior. Traditionally, stories and myths -- religions we no longer believe -- provide the key to understanding human meaning and motivation. Motivation is the crankshaft of every story. Jung thought such stories form the structure of the psyche. These basic elements of the psyche are expressed through a tangle of concepts. Such chaotic conditions suggest the deep nature of archetypes as holographic strange attractors. The same strange attractor can manifest in different forms and on different levels, according to its orientation.
Archetypes represent a common language, symbols that everyone understands, that all humans have in common. A plurality of possibilities lead to one actuality. We also make use of archetypes when we think, when we describe something. The words we use exist in a common pool. Language is a common thing, therefore a language has its own field.
When we think, our thoughts are coded by a common field and linked to our own unspeakable name (the DNA). But our thoughts still remain entangled with the common field of the language. Geometry is another archetypal form of communication. The field of form itself is a geometrical archetype, informed by the patterns of "sacred geometry", the flower of life, Fibonnaci, Solfeggio, Golden Mean and Fuller's synergetics. Reflected in our own being, is it possible that a true archetype of a universal nature begins in geometry itself?
Archetypes are shapers of human experience, “fields” of interrelated experience that the human psyche is predisposed to find significant.. They are defined by motivation, but are more about a deep underlying need, often subconscious, that then affects all the other goals and motivations. Archetypes are negentropic drives, revealing latent information and identity. They are not pieces of a mosaic but interrelational systems in a Universe of of multidimensional relationships.
The story goal may not be what defines the archetypal need. Archetypal meaning is the agent that links all threads together. Narratives always represent a kind of movement in moral space. They are energies that are in and around us that create a field that helps us develop certain qualities that we have innately within us as human beings. These can be expressed in good, bad or diabolical ways, depending on certain other factors.
Narratives are the way that humans have of constructing coherence and continuity in our lives. The most important stories that humans tell, retell, and reframe are the ones people do not generally recognize as stories at all. These are referred to as “metanarratives” -- ideologies, religions, and cultures. People do not even recognize them as stories, but rather tend to take them as an unarticulated background, the taken-for-granted truth, the way things really are. Our entangled world of stories includes many tragedies, too immense to even comprehend; but it is also a story of cosmic and comic improbabilities resulting in many fortuitous new possibilities. And thereby hangs a tale.
Archetypes are repetitious information-rich embedded directives --an informational, rational, and meaning-carrying structure that works by creating a field of influence and whose effect is not limited by space and time parameters. It is a kind of universal blueprint that underlies natural life. Itself unknowable, the archetype serves as a cornucopia from which themes, motifs, tendencies, and behaviors arise. We recognize these universal shapers of experience.
The quality of each archetype is a reflection of the pattern that embodies it. Repetition is resonance. A particular emotion is simply an impulse that pulls us into resonant conformance with a particular archetype. Archetypes build on, feed on, and regulate one another. Archetypes introduce erratic behavior that leads to the emergence of new situations, including pathologizing and creative insight. They share a similar field pattern that is paradoxically both the source of disease manifestation and its ultimate healing.
In the Jungian sense, order and chaos are not strictly archetypes. Rather they are meta-types, tendencies, potentials, paths, waiting to be materialized and made use of by archetypes. Chaos and order are still regarded as states of matter and of energy, as organizational principles, as residents of the twilight zone between the mental or subjective and the external, the "objective". Consequent effects are not necessarily random and chaotic because of an inherent order that emerges at the edge of chaos. This order does not occur according to a “blueprint” or prior determination. It is created out of the chaotic conditions themselves.
A-Field
Archetypes can be compared to a blueprint or a genetic code, representing predetermined plans for the structure, function and development of each aspect of human life. These archetypal patterns are the common foundations of our personality traits, drives, feelings, beliefs, motivations and actions. Archetypes involve all aspects of our lives.
Archetypes are structuring principles/numinous fields/forms of indefinable content which, when manifest, will express that content through symbol (image). Jung affirms the symbol as grounded in the unconscious archetype while their manifest forms are shaped by the ideas harboring in the conscious mind (the "I" value). The archetype, therefore, is a structuring principle that is itself without a structure. This is why the notion of a field works well with archetypes. The archetype of Light is the personifications of the field itself.
Von Franz observes that the archetypes are interconnected in a continuous field. A field can be understood as a region or space where something happens. If each archetype has as its "energetic component" a field can store and shape information, matter, and behavior. So, we can hypothesize that the archetypal field serves as the ground of being or the ground of creation from which form arises. While an electromagnetic or gravitational field is space and time dependent, an archetypal field appears to be "nonlocal"-- not limited to the mandates of space and time.
An archetype is a primary patterning upon which manifestation organizes itself in self-similar formulae recurring in human experience. They work through the creation of attractors -- complexes, magnetic epicenters creating the convergence of archetypal potentialities into singularities, highly patterned behavioral tendencies that draw specific facets of archetypes. Entelechy is all about the possibilities encoded in each of us. This entelechy principle can be expressed symbolically as a god or a guide. We feel its presence as the inspiration or motivation that helps us get life moving again after times of stress or stagnation.
A "field" of activity and influence surrounds an archetype, like the magnetic field around a magnet, or the gravitational field around a planet. An archetypal complex is the experiential equivalent of a force field or a magnetic field in physics, producing an integrated pattern or gestalt out of many diverse particulars. Any given archetypal complex always contains problematic and pathological shadow tendencies intertwined with more salutary, fruitful, and creative ones, all of which inhere in potentia in each complex (Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche, 105).
Every archetype has its own embedded field -- the "archetypal field," or "a-field." The a-field and ZPE field are complementary if not identical. An archetypal complex as "a coherent field of archetypally connected meanings, experiences, and psychological tendencies. They are expressed in perceptions, emotions, images, attitudes, beliefs, fantasies, and memories. Synchronistic external events and historical and cultural phenomena also appear to be informed by a dominant archetypal principle or combination of such principles.
Jung connected the phenomenon of synchronicity to psychic conditions. He felt inner and outer realities (subjective and objective) evolved through the archetypes. Jung theorized that these archetypal images belonged to a part of the unconscious not derived from personal experience. The archetypal images form the "collective unconscious". This collective is all things working synergetically, totality of consciousness vibrating and working as one coherent mass of energy.
The field of all archetypes is the existential ground of our being, but different archetypes may be more prominent at any given time. Such a conceptual field may be more or less co-extensive with biopsychosocial fields. The field archetype defines the interface that all field implementations must satisfy. The distinguishing feature of an archetype is its schema. A schema defines the fields of an archetype. Archetypes specify a static default value for a field.
As part of the cosmic holographic field, archetypes are nested hierarchies. They appear transpersonal and numinous because every part of the hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole. The implicate (implied) order is the holographic medium. Matter and consciousness have implicate order in common.
Each particle is an image constructed from information enfolded into a vacuum, providing a dynamic order in which change anywhere in the pattern is mirrored by the whole. The part projects itself by its self-similarity in the whole and the whole in the part, with different degrees of resolution and angles of perspective. The implicate order is a holographic medium that connects apparently disconnected individuals/ experiences/ information. Our consciousness is not three-dimensional, but multidimensional.
PsycHOLOgy
Peat said complexes create a type of antenna around individuals tuning them in and aligning them with the specific frequency of an archetype. This tuning is a complicated, fascinating, and surprisingly exacting phenomena.
It works by creating alignments and entrainments with only those segments of life which match the constant of the constellated archetype. A pre-existing principle of organization within the personality manifests as a psychological vortex (a complex) into which we are drawn. The vortex is impersonal.
In other words, only those themes and issues which resonant with the individual's alignment of an archetype will be constellated. Information about archetypal fields, as well as important information about one's life, is holographically encoded in the most minute details and interactional patterns in a person's life.
Any change in the hologram pattern is mirrored across the hologram as a whole. But, different distributed parts yield different perspectives of the whole relative to where the part is located in the hologram. Self-observation and taking action is vital for change to occur. Change implies novelty and an opening up of a system, or mind, to new information and possibilities Change is a form in itself, so great amounts of energy are required to support the development of its new structures.
The process of repetition, or replication, is the means by which a form, a living system, or a human behavior becomes stabilized, recognizable, and characteristic. Patterns are important in the generation of form. They are material representations of archetypal, informational fields in space and time. They exist as external mappings of internal processes. It is through patterns, an intentional series of steps that are repeated in a highly consistent and sequenced way, that a unique archetypal alignment becomes incarnate in the outer world, taking tangible shape.
Laszlo explains that the pattern, which can change, is a manifestation of the information contained within a field and is not in and of itself autonomous. In many respects Laszlo's distinction between patterns and informational fields parallels Jung's understanding of the relationship between symbol and archetype. The pattern, like the symbol, emerges from an archetypal context, standing as the representation and "settling" in the form of the field. Both views attribute the generation of the original information represented in the form of a pattern, logically, to the source: the archetypal informational field (a-field).
The brain establishes resonance patterns as it works to process new information. Through processes of replication and resonance, the brain processes and metabolizes novelty through a type of cross-referencing of the new event with what is already known and has already been experienced. This cross-referential processing produces a resonance between past and current events, so new information and experience are understood through their relationship to prior knowledge. Cross-referencing makes what was novel familiar by drawing it into a resonance with what is already known. These are not humanly contrived, consciously derived operations. Instead they exist as the psyche's or nature's way for making connections and building relationships.
According to Conforti (1999), the regularity of pattern repetition in life speaks to the strength of the preformed, archetypal constellations that are continually made manifest and influence much of individual and collective life. The formula is archetype > field > repetition > change. The enduring nature of the patterns and their tendency to introduce the individual to the "destiny" factor, suggests that archetypal informational fields exist as the central organizing factor in life.
Each manifestation of form appears in the world through a consolidation of the informational content of a DNA or archetypal blueprint, then congeals into a recognizable pattern. Perturbation interrupts such stable patterns. Intrusive informational catastrophes introduce highly divergent material that the system has to respond to by either adaptation and integration or through the strengthening of the denial structures.
Jung attributed negentropic effects to the Self, but it is simply a meta-property of the a-field. "Free-energy" (ZPE) enters the field of time when it leaves the archetypal world. Laszlo asserted the archetypes' naturalistic status approaching them through systems science with information (negentropy). Transcending fundamental dualities (wave-particle, experience-information, part-whole, and non-local), ZPE is unconditioned archetypal creative energy. Archetypal fields function non-locally in that their influence is not space-time dependent.
Archetype, as source, is the totality of absences. We cannot see the archetype because the real source of thing behind ideas defines the whole permutational space of the essence the totality of metaconstraint that gives rise to all the objects of that kind. It tranduces universals from Pluriverse / Kosmos / World / Domain / Meta-system to special systems: System/Form/Pattern/Monad/Facet.
Superspatial and supertemporal force, archetypes are composed of dynamic tensions that arise spontaneously in the individual and collective psyche; autonomous energies common to the human species. They give the psyche its dynamic properties and help organize it. They are part of the negentropic aggregate that is the fine structure with conceptual commonalities, within the larger whole, accelerating down the aeons. Their effects as memetic entities can be seen in many forms and across cultures. We need bigger stories than those that defined reality in the 20th century. Science imagines it tells this story in objective terms with measurable, socially agreed upon precision. Jung emphasized balance within the system as ideal, whereas Hillman favors variety and complexity of optimal system functioning.
In Jungian psychology, such patterns of motivation are usually equated with personality types, codified gods and goddesses, or developmental archetypes. Archetypes are human types in pure form. But the model tells us little about the deep inherent nature of the holistic dynamic system in which they and ourselves arise. To do so requires crossing and collapsing boundaries to include many disciplines. The dual of ideas, highlighting the unities and absences of aspects of being, archetypes self-organize the unconscious. Jung's collective unconscious consists of archetypal infolded EM structures.
The interactions of multiple archetypes from the cosmic to individual perspective include physics, chaos theory, complexity, network theory, neurology, genetics, system dynamics, and a variety of other relevant fields which can be applied to facets of archetypal heuristics. Yet, as tiny islands of negentropy in an immense chaotic sea, archetypes precondition all reality assertions we might make.
How can we represent dynamic change in systems? One transdisciplinary means of approach is the notion of archetypes, which we can call "the a-field" and charged a-field elements. The soul's motivation is to explore the archetypes of spirit, discerning soul's motivation through intuition. This motivation is not contrary to the motivation of ego or the a-field elements.
In addition to the motivation from ego and soul, there are motivations which derive from various dynamics and mental functions. These modes of motivation are mechanical defaults which we use when we are not directed by the fresh, creative guidance of intuition. In the Jungian model, soul uses all of this spectrum experiences as a means for learning about the dynamics of spirit and its archetypes, much like physicist use the electromagnetic spectrum.
We often gravitate toward an archetype of a particular motivation to gain emotional satisfaction. The best way to create “emotional affinity” through meaning is to use archetypal images to fulfill “basic human desires and motivations”. The best way to create “emotional affinity” through meaning is to use archetypal images to fulfill “basic human desires and motivations. Projection is a two way street where internal perceptions are projected outwardly even as archetypal formation structures and conditions response. It inescapably conditions our evaluations of internal and external phenomena, the particular and the universal. We are embodied as concrete particulars.
James Harvey Stout outlined some archetypal default settings, including desire, pleasure and pain:
Charged archetypal-field elements. In every situation, we are confronting archetypes. Intuition can guide us in generating the particular elements (i.e., thoughts, images, energy tones, and actions) which constitute an appropriate response to those archetypes. However, if we are not aware of intuition (or if we ignore it), our thoughts, imagery, energy tones, and actions will not be entirely appropriate; for example, we will not say exactly what needs to be said. Because of this inappropriateness, the elements do not fully discharge their charge; instead, when they leave their permanent record in the archetypal field, there is a charge which lingers. It is this charge which compels us to recreate the archetypal situation for the specific purpose of discharging the residual energy. Thus, much of our motivation derives from these charged elements; for example, if we have generated hateful thoughts toward "irresponsible people," we will be compulsively motivated to perform irresponsible acts until we have resolved the charge. (This compulsion is often called "karma.")
Values. During a decision-making process, the mind refers to our "values"; we might discover that we value "enjoyment." We feel motivated to comply with our values; contrarily, when we do not comply with our values, we experience the painful sensation of "guilt." When we are motivated by our values, we are energized and excited; we find the drive and desire and resources to endeavor, and we feel satisfaction when the goals are reached, regardless of people's reaction. What we have achieved is real to us, because it satisfies our values. But if we accept other people's values as our own, we probably feel a weaker drive and an emptiness at the conclusion (if we had enough enthusiasm to persist toward the completion at all). http://www.theorderoftime.com/politics/cemetery/stout/h/motivat.htm
Who's in Charge?
Symbolic thinking comes at a price. Ego imagines it controls our being, but archetypes play through us nonstop, conditioning our behavior, emotions, ideas and beliefs, especially about ourselves. Neural and hormonal control through the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems is regulated by forces most never think about.
We are largely unaware of the "holographic" psychoid field that connects us with the greater environment and bioenergetic charge. We can't see them, but we notice their effects. The archetype manifests itself on the level of material substance, on the level of human psychology as well as on the level of physical pathology, through similar mechanisms.
When basic elements are missing in an archetype, it is evidence of a "pathology." Its protean richness is circumscribed by an inherent archetypal structure and a pragmatically demonstrable phenomenology. Archetypes are the potential energy similar to a spectrum both within and beyond our sensibilities and knowledge. Therefore, pathology does not exist in the archetypal realm. Only personal or cultural over-identification locks the dynamic into a pathological response pattern.
Archetypes also play an important role in the genesis of scientific theories and in scientific discoveries. Jung spoke of a “psychoid” level of the psyche, located in the unconscious, that functions as a kind of transformative interface between psyche and matter, or mind and body. However, Jung was interested in the emotional, affective core of archetypes -- the interface of mind and body, including their relationship to archetype.
Nature's laws are the instruments of top down control. Carolyn Myss calls archetypes “the language system of the soul”. Managing our power of choice is the creative and spiritual essence of the human experience. Yet, even "remedy" or "healing" is an archetype -- the "universal medicine" of alchemy. It is liberating and healing to step out of pathologizing ourselves and re-contextualize our personal conflicts, problems and wounds as part of a wider transpersonal pattern enfolded throughout the global field of human experience.
Paul Levy claims, "Our wound introduces and connects us with the transpersonal dimension of our being, whose realization, amazingly enough, initiates the transformation and potential healing of our wound. Simultaneously containing both the pathology and its own medicine, our wound is a higher-dimensional event which has manifested in the flat-land of our third dimensional life. Symbolically encoded in the wound, uniquely tailored to our exact sensibility and aesthetic, is both the seeming “problem” and its own re-solution co-joined in a state of open-ended and boundless, indwelling potentiality."
Through psychophysical means, archetypes exert a topdown and bottom up control on psyche and society. None of us are immune to their inherent influence but they affect our immunity, resilience, and metabolism, health and well-being. Unconscious topdown control leads to automatic emotional control. Psychophysical feedback completes the bottom-up regulation of attention and awareness. Functional integration unites the process. Moral sentiments and values are linked to compassion. With altruism, social concepts and values are actualized through decisions and goal-directed behavior. Topdown controlled alpha band activity determines how we perceive sensory information.
However, archetypes also condition our pathologies, which can be compounded by trauma, personality disorders, and neurological brain damage. Frontal lobe damage leads to lack of foresight, impulsiveness, rigidity, poor planning, impaired moral cognition and behavior, and and poor social judgment. Temporal lobe damage amplifies impaired social perception and conduct, and loss of empathy. Subcortical limbic damage leads to extreme violence, perversion and sociopathy. Motivation and abstract content are impaired. Visceral-emotional bias leads to bottom-up control of the ego. Reason alone does not save us from such holographic field effects that often bootstrap on our childhood traumas.
Psyche depends on body and body depends on psyche. Depth psychology describes psychic contents with psychic means. Psyche is subject and object, medium and message. Models, questions and proofs all originate in the human mind. And even in physics there is no objective observer outside the universe to experiment on it. Jung contended the common background of physics and depth psychology was psychic as much as physical. This essential third element is transcendental. Both disciplines engage in a reflective interior search for hidden connections along with the outward gaze of scientific inquiry.
The archetypes of the collective unconscious are arrayed behind, yet infused in the scenes of our personal lives, and current worldwide conditions of crisis and confusion. They mirror our own states back at us, whether we notice, perceive them as such, or interpret them plausibly or not. They catch us in our psychological blindspots. We might be fascinated, even obsessed, with the paranormal or unexplainable experiences. Activated archetypes compensate for the one-sidedness of the times and provide preset ways to adapt. They show that a person's problem is also a problem of humanity, a basic human concern. It's healing to know the general human meaning of the problem.
The basis of learning and experience, they personify characteristics of the current state of the psyche. They contextualize our suffering. Functional at deeper levels, they display psyche's self regulatory system to consciousness in symbolic form. Soul only exists in one of their forms. Every event is infused with the meanings of all variants. Soul enters only via symptoms, via outcast phenomena. Taking fantasies literally and also confusing the literal and the concrete is a fundamentalist approach.
The curse of each god and its blindspot are as important to the affective pattern as the virtues it confers. Powerful symbol sets are self-validating and may appear magical. Archetypes attract, convince, fascinate, and overpower. Yet without any means to grasp high weirdness more than literally, we uncritically "believe" it concretely. Many fall victim to half-baked theories and overstatements from pop physics and pop psychology or their own narratives. Sometimes our experiences are self-deluding; our interpretations aren't accurate. The noise of ordinary consciousness and beliefs drowns out the signal. Unconsciousness is the mysterious background of our ordinary awareness.
Creativity is another word for insight. The creative person is different, a fact which they, themselves, recognize. They always ask questions about things which puzzle them, they are honest, shy, bashful, they appear inconsiderate, determined, persistent, industrious, never bored, spirited in disagreement, unwilling to accept the judgment of authority, and, they are visionary. The creative person may like to work alone and to strive for distant goals. As Torrance has pointed out, many of these characteristics, taken singly, may be desirable, but taken in combination they make the creative child a difficult child. (Paul Henrickson, private email)
Meta- Levels
Our whole psychophysical organism is very much at the center of such effects. Imaginal space is a net of multiple images and meaning -- the ground of meaning and metaphor. The organismic source is our human bodies and the focus of human consciousness. The fantasy principle dethrones reality, but can be dissociative or compensatory. The human mind is a meme-scape, subject to the distortions of cultural "viruses."
Structurally organized archetypes play a central role as powerful intrusions of archetypal energy in the formation of complex and symptom These intrusions lead to particular patterns of fragmentation in the behavioral and cognitive presentations. Pre-conceived concepts vie with structures, concepts with images, constructions with deconstruction and spectacle. We bamboozle ourselves. Unless we apply certain illuminative processes to our deeper life, it remains hidden in the shadows. The patterns expressed by archetypes remain beyond our awareness. We stay in the dark about much of our being.
For example, Robert Moore calls the trickster archetype, "psyche's answer to oppression and grandiosity." Fearless and uncompromising, it exposes pretension and pomposity wherever it is manifest -- either in self or other. If possessed by this archetype, however, one becomes a compulsive critic who seeks to ridicule, shame, and humiliate without compassion. Meant to be an agent of liberation and the ally of new creations, the shadow expression of this psychological structure becomes the enemy of both creativity and creation itself.
Automatic Trance States
Archetypes appear unbidden, "possessing" us with trance states that exemplify their typical qualities. The existence of archetypes is demonstrated in the analysis of adult and childhood dreams, active imagination, psychotic delusions, and fantasies produced in the trance state. Such trances condition and cloud our vision. Client-centered therapy uses the trance state as a doorway to a larger world beyond the walls of the conscious psyche.
Everybody sees their own fantasies through their own memes. This deeper level manifests itself in universal archaic images expressed in dreams, religious beliefs, myths, and fairytales. The archetypes, as unfiltered psychic experience, appear sometimes in their most primitive and naive forms (in dreams), sometimes in a considerably more complex form due to the operation of conscious elaboration (in myths).
For James Hillman the task of the therapist is "to keep the snake there". He wants the psyche, by way of the limitless depths of its images to "threaten the hell out of you," to keep you in the realm of the unknown for as long as possible, and it is in this way that real psychological work can begin. Hillman's views here are close to the Kabbalist Azriel of Gerona's charge that to have "faith" is to enter into a relationship with one's "nothingness" and the "unknown" of the infinite, Ein-sof. It also accords well with those elements within the Kabbalah that deny the possibility of cognitive, as opposed to experiential, knowledge of the divine. (Drob)
Like scientists who ignore their own assumed truths, we leapfrog over our beliefs, blindspots, and personality deficits, claiming idiosyncratic imagination as literal reality. It couldn't be further from the existential truth and symbolism is utterly lost. Superstitiously looking for signs or mind-blowing synchronicities is no substitute for actively interacting in a healthy process of self-transformation -- individuation.
When meaning is usurped by media mania, a 24/7 assault on the senses, the metaphors that might heal us overwhelm and enslave us. Archetypes function as programming options, modulating our emotional addictions to pain, fear and suffering, contempt, insecurities, doubt, failure, even love. The images that heal emerge from our insight and realizations, not ones imposed on us from without. All events are holographically recorded and can be holographically healed.
All archetypes are a form of human expression that is both holographic and physical. Physical formations of archetypal sequences cause humans to behave in parallel ways to each associated ancestor, experience or process. Integration is a function of intentionality -- conscious and unconsciously maintained, or incorporated. Integration occurs both without effort, as a redesign of the central processor of our minds, and voluntarily as a deliberate effort to understand, find meaning, and rectify our behavior towards self, others and world. Sometimes when we lose ourselves in transcendent experiences, we somehow come back reborn and full of compassion. We are nurtured by the depths.
Images, like the holographic universe, have an implicate order -- a deeper enfolded dimension. Memories aren't localized in one place, but are spread across the associative areas of the brain. Associative areas aren't set aside for particular functions like speech production, language comprehension, and memory encoding. Instead, they are responsible for all "miscellaneous" tasks. Each associative area seems to contain echoes of all of the information. Symbols arise from and are embedded in the environment as holographic fields of energy. There are innumerable morphogenic veils of primal forces.
Nonlocal Creative Source
Can we have a sense of the cosmos in the world without unwittingly projecting myriad fantasies on it that we embrace literally? Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that we cannot escape our entangled embedding in the universe; we are indissolubly connected. Has the world become so horrible it is unreasonable to be realistic? Perhaps we know far too many ways for it to end and not nearly enough ways to reconstitute. We may need to look at our drives and wishes, rather than the fantasy content. In content-free therapy, the narrative is less relevant than the process itself. We have to factor in our own desires in our own logic tests and philosophy of natural realization.
The capacity for transcending the self through art arises from the creative process, an altered state of consciousness facilitating the occurrence of anomalous events such as precognition and interior visions that appear to be outside the spacetime of waking life. Frustration can trigger the far-from-equilibrium conditions necessary for creativity, while inspiration may seem as if its source is exterior to the artist, and the experience of flow, like a trance state, can produce an altered sense of time. Archetypes in the creative process link a single mind to the collective unconscious and works of art become self-opening worlds that create an expanded reality. (Zausner)
The Great Unknown lies behind Jung's transcendent function and mostly we remain clueless in the face of this Mystery even as we encounter its inescapable phenomenology. Non-ordinary states of consciousness reveal a hidden holographic order. However, unlke recreational altered states, only integrative states radically reorganize the psyche and brain. Lesser states can destabilize habitual adaptation, leaving us fragile with split assumptions
Conflict arises from destabilizing information and experience. Clarity comes in realizing we cannot permanently function in that realm because archetypes don't understand our personality needs as they play out their own agendas. Deconstructing of reality is a dangerous as well as prospective process not all psyches survive intact. This is why historically we have spiritual and religious guides to that realm. But, again, you'd best be careful who those guides are and what they actually lead toward -- increased health and well-being or disintegration.
Psyche constructs reality. Our experience of so-called reality is always mediated by our image of it. Our image of it is now conditioned by new media. Even if all the contents of the psyche are real, that doesn't mean they are realistic. That psyche is real is still a radical proposition, but psychic politics certainly color the self-image and ideas of everyone. We observe and participate with images, but if we navigate this dream-scape poorly we become essentially "lost at sea."
It is not a question of nature or nurture (genes alone or experience alone). Rather, everything is both. We inherit the structures that make our experience what it is. But the structure itself is “empty,” and each human culture “fills” it with its own specific adaptations. It is difficult to define an archetype and set boundaries that distinguish it from others. In a hologram each part contains all the information but in lower resolution. Archetypes have this interpenetrating holographic quality. There are patterns within patterns within patterns. Some overlap with others, and some are nested inside others.
Archetypal realities, passed on through DNA, are expressed in distinctive neuronal tracts in the brain. They include customs and laws regarding property, incest, marriage, kinship, and social status or roles; myths and legends; beliefs about the supernatural and cosmos; gambling, adultery, homicide, schizophrenia, and the therapies to deal with them. A mythic and visionary language of immediate experience encompasses themes of deepest, highest, and ultimate concern.
Holistic individualism is a construct. Most fantasy-based individuals are at a complete loss to coherently explain their own conventional behavior much less anomalous events and their deep meaning, or the cultural unconscious, or mythological unconscious matrix. But they try, and become utterly entrenched in their belief that they are right about the nature of the world and reality. We have pseudo-memories about our personal lives. Why not moreso for our collective life?
Studies show that magical thinking in New Age adherents is correlated with schizotypal traits, emotional oversensitivity, and cognitive-perceptual looseness. The subject matter often revolves around escapist fantasy, catastrophe, creation and the mythopoeic forces of mankind. Ignorant of such dynamics, interpretive mistakes and displaced psychic contents proliferate into errors of fact. Propaganda, media distortions, memes, and disinformation compound the social problem of misapprehension further. Farias
Shameless self-promotion by narcissistic personalities of such alternative ideas leads to cults. They make up myths about the myths of by-gone eras. Roiling unconscious images can be fatally confusing. Thought illusions culminate in personal projections and collective projections of mythology. Jung suggested symbols live only as long as they are pregnant with meaning.
Philosophy arose from criticism of myth, from discussing and challenging it. In science, we criticize, reject and eliminate theories. At the edge of the abyss of the unknown, new signs and symbols emerge. Credible theories and paradigms must include biology, physics, and neurophysiology.
Is it God or Memorex?
One of the reasons people "see God", or a guru, or anomalies may be because our brains are constructed to see reality through the eyes of others. There are heaps of mirror neurons which are there to make us feel the 'other'. Mirror neurons do for psychology what DNA did for biology. They provide a unifying framework and help explain a host of mental abilities.
As in the psychochemical processes of empathy or falling in love, a complex feedback loop sustains a state of mind. But when we empathically transpose ourselves into someone else's position, we expose ourselves to that reality -- cognitively and emotionally. The unconscious complicates empathy, both ways. Mirror neurons might well play a role in bonding, language and self-awareness.
If the archetypes have a location neurostructures instantiate them. It's not impossible that we can believe in God because we obviously have a brain center that specializes in fatherly images. Behavioral paradigms have been found to have neural representation, puberty being the best known of them. The archetypes are often, if not usually, found in the various deities worshiped in a culture, and they reinforce the roles people experience during the different phases of their lives, able to advise or give guidance about almost any situation.
Naively, we take too much as self-evident. But 'seeing' is not always 'believing', though many make this error or leap in logic and formulate their choices and future accordingly. Yet, there is only one way to learn what consciousness is -- experience. But we have no satisfactory explanatory edifice for consciousness. Would such a theory release in each of us our own inner knowledge of the creativity of our own consciousness, and its infinite possibilities?
The problem is trying to define a verb, a dynamic, as if it were a noun. Consciousness is present everywhere in spacetime, so has no need to “go” or “be sent” via a medium or carrier. Synchronous events, including intentional or directed healing, may work via coherence, an entanglement or resonance effect, but we should be careful not to mistake this field effect for the mind itself, which permeates and undergirds all.
Conclusions
We live in a chaotic universe to which we are seamlessly wed. We are a chaotic system ourselves, and chaotic systems exhibit holistic behavior. Holism sees the world in all its diversity as connected. A global wave of information (consciousness) is responsible for the extraordinary coherence that expresses as self-organization. We are one with the whole universe of phenomena and being in the deepest sense. The unifying force is consciousness.
But we do recognize the effect of consciousness. It functions to mediate states of consciousness, high and low psychobiological arousal. Consciousness is the subconscious lifted up by the physical body. When the body fails, the consciousness collapses back into the subconscious. All our thoughts come from the subconscious which can see our intentions but not our world. This relates somehow to intention being imaginary and not of the physical frictionized world (King).
Gerald Edelman postulates that the flows of information in the brain are mediated through ‘re-entrant' feedback loops. As evolution provides new cognitive functions, new re-entrant loops are established. Even language itself is an archetype -- a chaotic field of dynamic associations. A subtle net of tropes, narrative, grammar, symbols, associations, and meaning, the program language begins in limbic resonance. Some phenomena generate their own specialty language patterns, nomenclature, and internal coherence of meaning and representation.
In a holographic universe, even time and space can no longer be viewed as fundamentals. Concepts such as location break down in a universe in which nothing is truly separate from anything else. Time and three-dimensional space also have to be viewed as projections of this deeper order. Core mystical experiences of transformation usher us into this holographic domain of pure frequencies, altered states of consciousness, and revelations.
Altered states open the way to polyphasic depth and engaging meaning. We learn to tolerate the irrational and holographically experience the simultaneity of cosmos and individual life. At its deeper level, reality is a sort of super hologram in which the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper tools someday we might reach into the super holographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from the long-forgotten past.
Or not. A fantasy of such penetration or phenomenon inside the head is not the same as that penetration.
