Re: Donald Hoffman's search for a mathematical theory of consciousness
This is why Cleric says DH's approach is so susceptible to the TM fallacy. In the video, it is said that DH understands the fabric of space-time as 'derivative from the perspective of the CA hierarchy interactions' (around 38 min). What this means is that the space-time fabric is felt to be derivat...

Re: Donald Hoffman's search for a mathematical theory of consciousness
Right, and if you actually read the latest DH paper or listen his lates interviews, he was able to break through this atomism and show mathematically how the interference of lower-level CAs leads to their fusion into higher-level CAs, or as he calls it, "nested hierarchy of conscious agents&qu...

Re: Donald Hoffman's search for a mathematical theory of consciousness
I would actually argue that most of the scientific breakthroughs were achieved by scientists intuiting into the higher-order mind fields. However, in most cases they were not consciously aware of it, even though still many were. As Bach said in his last words on his death bed: "Do not cry for ...

Re: This forum
In the spirit of ‘reaching across the aisle’ I’ve considered naming samadhi\pure consciousness a specific manner of thinking, even though it’s traditionally described as non-thinking. We’ve all experienced thinking gross or crude thoughts (gross and crude not in content but mechanics, and we’ve exp...

Re: This forum
I must be missing something - I fail to see how thinking, a local and finite activity, no matter how exalted, can directly invoke or be equivalent to a Oneness, or Intuitive Whole. Can a thought convey unboundedness\Infinity\Freedom? And if this is possible, to invoke a thought as Ideal Principle o...

Re: Essay: Retracing Spiritual Activity (Part IV)
Thanks for sharing this Guney. I am not sure the bold is exactly right, I believe thinking is redeemed from the (1) normal rational sequences of thoughts that go with the flow of sensory stimuli, rather than from (2) the unconscious factors that guide it, while the unconscious factors are the ones ...

Re: This forum
Great! Then I imagine the next time we hear from you, after you have digested the material on this forum at your own pace, it won't be another video link to nondual awakening, which we have all agreed traps us at the threshold of true Self-lucidity, or commiseration about the past history of the fo...

Re: This forum
So do you conceive it is possible that when your meditation reaches its limits, another sort of meditation can go further into the depths of spiritual reality? This isn't any philosophical or religious framework. It is about taking direct introspective experience to the next level of objective inne...

Re: This forum
It could only be because you assume it is impossible that you are misunderstanding the higher cognitive path, because you already encompass the ground-level reality from which it emerges and the only thing you may be missing are the details that are mostly worked out with intellectual thinking or s...
