The harmonious thoughts Earl Nightingale wrote about when having a definite aim, some goal in life, can be achieved as a part of moving into the transpersonal stage as I see it. Because the transpersonal stage in my estimation involves developing a collective consciousness, so that will automatically bring harmony since the personal goal is then aligned with and a part of the collective development. At the personal stage most of our aims and goals result in conflict because that's a state of separation and we lack the capacity and the ability to function harmoniously with the totality. This, then means that confusion can be allowed instead of struggling against it which just will harden the crystallized ego. And as the confusion relaxes harmonious ideas will come to the mind. That's my theory at the moment.

Oh, wow. I posted earlier about the idea that the crystallized ego grows by turning confusion into fear. And Joseph Rodrigues mentioned in the video in my previous post that Earl Nightingale wrote: "Lack of definite chief aim can lead a person having indecision and doubt which crystallizes into fear to project outward and materialize fear into form." That sounds similar to my idea. And Nightingale also wrote that the thoughts of a definite aim need to be harmonious. That's a crucial point, because we can have stern and rigid aims made by the crystallized ego, and that causes conflict instead of harmony.

Neville Goddard wrote that Christmas represents Christ being born in/as us. That's a good explanation I think. And then I think of Christ suffering on the cross as the suffering at the personal stage, and the crystallized ego "dying" and being transformed into the fluid ego at the transpersonal stage. I found this older video (well, only about a year) about Neville Goddard. Could be interesting to compare to Brian Scott's videos:

I was thinking of Christ suffering on the cross as some form of symbolism related to the polar code idea I mentioned earlier, where one channel is made more noisy to make the other channel noise-free. So Christ's suffering then represents the noisy polar channel taking on all the "sins" as in the mistaken view leading to noise to free humanity from sin. Brian Scott has this new video about Neville Goddard's explanation of the meaning of Christmas and I will check it out to compare it to my idea of Christ. Christmas is about Christ's birth. The true meaning of Christ's birth is as the Word made manifest I believe. And the Word is ALL of manifestation (John 1), so Christ as something separate is then a mistaken idea and Christ's suffering then a false perspective removing sin as another false perspective.

Historian and researcher Richard Dolan with academic credentials has shown that there is lots of evidence pointing to what he calls a breakaway civilization, a hidden society with vastly more advanced technology and knowledge than we have in the public society. My guess is that the breakaway civilization already has entered the transpersonal stage. But they are not the "butterfly" society because that needs to be built as a result of both the breakaway civilization and the public society. I also think that Dolan is only partly correct, that for example secret military programs are largely something of the public society, not a part of the breakaway civilization. There has to be some interface though between our public society and the breakaway civilization so things like secret military projects and international banking and politics are probably connected somehow and maybe that's what Dolan means. I will take a look at this recent video:

Nonduality teacher Roger Castillo often points out that what he means by peace of mind (Ramesh Balsekar's concept) is NOT pleasure, pleasure, pleasure. Life is sometimes pain and sometimes pleasure he says. I think that's correct at the personal stage. However I believe that the foundation of the transpersonal stage is inner peace and that it feels very pleasant compared to many of the nasty emotions at the personal stage. Here is a recent satsang video:

I'm pretty sure that dissolving the tensions in oneself results in a detachment from the 'caterpillar' society. The caterpillar here represents society as a personal stage construct. And the butterfly represents the transpersonal stage society. The hard tensions then become outsources to building the cocoon that will allow the development of the butterfly. This includes personal possessions both material and immaterial, even personal relationships. It doesn't mean stop using money or not having relationships or anything radical like that. It's simply about dissolving the attachment to those possessions and turning the crystallized ego with tensions to a fluid ego where the tensions have dissolved,

Here is another of Brian Scott's videos with what seems to be a New Age perspective on relaxation. I have listened to half of it and so far many things explained by Frank Rudolph Young's text which Brian is reading are difficult for me to tell if they are valid or not. But one amazing thing mentioned is that tensions cause toxins in the body! I speculated about something similar earlier, so to me that's a possible confirmation of true knowledge.

I made this unusual remix.

@Leo Gura Wow, I found that Bertrand Russell may only have accepted Gödel's incompleteness theorems as metamathematics, such as: I learned that Gödel encoded the theorems in Principia Mathematica as numbers and then drew logical conclusions from that. That approach indeed seems to be metamathematics, an additional construct put on top of the theorems. And also: Russell did acknowledge Gödel's result: But could it be that Gödel's incompleteness theorems have been taken too broadly? And that for example the theory of types is consistent and complete by removing self-reference?

@Carl-Richard I found: I tried to understand Gödel's incompleteness theorems from the Wikipedia article and by looking at a few videos about it. I still don't grasp it! Frustrating. Leo has this video about it which I may take a look at again.

I heard that Kurt Gödel used numbers to show that all mathematics is incomplete. But isn't that a begging the question logical fallacy or what it's called? How can he have used numbers as the foundation for his argument and at the same time claiming that the theory of numbers in incomplete?

I like to sometimes learn from New Age teachings to go beyond the mainstream and into fringe areas. Brian Scott has this recent video about Devas.

@Natasha Thanks! And I've got new equipment now, well music software, not professional hardware stuff. I mostly practice on doing remixes, making own compositions is more challenging, but that could be interesting to do more of in the future.

Shunyamurti says that we are in a historical shift at the moment. Could be true! I think the coronavirus crisis is a sign of that. Everything is connected, even chronologically, so things always happen for a reason I believe.

It's also easy to map my binary string of reality to the tree of NAND gates. A connected input can be given the value '1' and a disconnected input the value '0'. And the binary tree expands exponentially 2+ 4 + 8+ 16 + ... which can be mapped directly into the binary string. In my model the expansion of the string is not exponential. The expansion is a result of the manifestation of differences, producing an interconnected web like Indra's net in Buddhist philosophy. The mapping of NAND gates can still be the same though and depending on ones and zeroes in that string the computation for reality is achieved.

Another interesting observation is that by choosing the value '1' as the default input the representation of constant binary values gets simpler to define. Because then one NAND gate with empty inputs produces the value zero as output. And by connecting that NAND gate one of the inputs of another NAND gate results in the value '1'. So only 2 NAND gates needed to represent constant binary values instead of 3 NAND gates as in my previous post. And whoa! This determines what is '1' and what is '0'. Those are just symbols and we can choose any symbols, but the principle of 2 instead of 3 NAND gates is more fundamental in some sense and form an absolute principle even though the symbols used are relative.

One curious thing I now realized is that the value of the root NAND in the binary tree in my previous post is possibly changing! In my model the unmanifested reality is changeless, like Brahman or as it says in the Bible somewhere: "I the Lord do not change." Change happens as the unmanifested reality is manifested. Imagine such binary tree expanding infinitely fast. And with all kinds of complicated combinations of NAND gates. The value of the root NAND is unknown until it becomes manifested. And the infinite sequence of change is endless. This is similar to the Thomson lamp paradox.

I looked into combinators, the simple principle that Stephen Wolfram presented recently. I didn't grasp it. It's a simple structure, but it gets very complicated quickly. They also mentioned that something called a NAND gate can be used to produce all forms of computation. So maybe there is an even simpler way than combinators by using NAND gates. NAND gates can be seen as holons, wholes who at the same time are parts. And the parts can also be NAND gates! So one can construct a binary tree of only NAND gates which represents a holarchy with the root as the largest holon. These are AND gates but the principle of a binary tree is the same: It's not possible to produce loops with a tree structure like that, but the same result can be achieved I think by allowing the tree to become arbitrary large. I will think about if a binary tree like that can model reality. My current model can be represented as pure information, but it's just a string of binary digits without structure. A binary tree can possibly represent the structure needed. And static information can be encoded with NAND gates where no input means inputs of zeros leading to one as output. And to get zero as output two such NAND gates are connected to a third NAND gate. Really cumbersome way of just producing '0' and '1' bit values but the general NAND tree may be the most fundamental representation of computation possible.

Personal development is fine, but transpersonal as I see it means going beyond that. I'm looking into development of a collective consciousness. It's tricky since I expect that to be a huge leap of consciousness, from being an isolated individual to being a connected collective being. There are hints here and there about the possibility of a collective consciousness, but mostly as hints in religious and spiritual teachings. Also some more scientific approaches such as Bruce Lipton's fractal evolution and Peter Russell's Global Brain idea.

Why do people often put obstacles for people to struggle with instead of making it easy for others? I figured out that it's more than just a win-lose situation where when others are pushed down you yourself seemingly rise up, or at least have a better chance of succeeding in life compared to those who are obstructed. The interesting deeper reason I found is that in order for creation to produce uniqueness it's beneficial for us to be prevented easy access to things so that with our own struggle we come up with creative and unique solutions. But that's only a useful strategy at the personal stage. When we see through the game, then it's game over. Haha. And then it's harvest time, meaning we deliberately bring the easy ways of doing things to the forefront and genuinely wish others to succeed easily, because we have as humanity been there, done that and got the bloody T-shirt as far as win-lose is concerned.

What is this? It says hard dance. Funny track, I will look for some more hard dance music.
