How powerful is this? Even entropy is a result of holon development. What we experience as entropy is caused by earth still being an incomplete holon. The incompleteness causes friction, conflict, destruction and confusion in the world. This is the third density. Fourth density is the emergence of a whole planet as a holon. Planet Venus for example may already be a holon with a civilization on it. Ra in the Law of One said that they are from Venus originally.

The meaning of life is to produce larger and larger holons.

Adyashanti said that our experiences often follow our beliefs. And Bruce Lipton has explained something similar called the Biology of Belief. That may actually be important in relation to moving into fourth density, because our usual belief is that things like that are New Age woo woo and our belief isn't genuine and certainly not reaching deeper into the subconscious which is necessary for actual effect. I will experiment with taking moving into fourth density as a serious possibility, including producing miracles in terms of changing body and mind. ACIM says somewhere that miracles shouldn't be attempted as something we choose ourselves, something like that, but a general belief in fourth density allows for all kinds of miracles, so those can be left as an open option.

I was thinking, since all major religions have the prophesy of a new earth, and ACIM talks about a new world, and New Age teachings have the same fundamental ideas, and in the Law of One there is the fourth and higher densities, then what about mainstream science? First I thought that in science there is nothing about the possibility of a fourth density earth. But then it hit me: dark matter could be higher density matter! Higher density in the sense of the Law of One which means more intelligence, information and capacity.

Enlightened people, do they reach the highest holon of the infinite unmanifested? Yes, that's possible according to my theory, but they too are still stuck in third density on the manifested level. So there is vast developmental potential even for enlightened people. Fourth density is just one step and even that will be a tremendous leap on the level of the physical body and the material world.

Another use of the holon idea is that third density in the Law of One means an unfinished holon. And since the holon is incomplete it leads to confusion and conflicts in the world. And that why ACIM says that our current world sucks. It's not because the world is bad, it's simply because the world still is an incomplete holon. Fourth density in the Law of One in my opinion means the completion of the world holon, not only as in globalization materially but also a collective consciousness and a transcending of the capabilities of our world. Planet earth as a holon is greater than the sum of the parts when as today the parts only form a fragmented whole, not a holon yet.

Even though it may be extremely difficult to explain how holons have emergent properties in the form of being greater than the sum of the parts, one very obvious fact occurred to me: with the unmanifested as the largest and infinite holon, it is the highest greatness that transcends the sum of all its parts! This directly explains evolution as a pull of the manifested reality ever towards the unmanifested, yet never reaching the infinite level of transcendence so the future is infinite. It's similar to the Omega Point idea: Although in my model the manifested reality will never reach the Omega Point which is the infinite unmanifested reality. As I mentioned in some other post, that's why Jesus said that the Father is greater than him, and Jesus also said that by himself he does nothing and all his actions are from the Father. That's precisely the manifested reality (Word of God materialized) always being a part of the greater unmanifested (the infinite unmanifested Word of God). All of the manifested reality is nothing by itself and is the unmanifested in manifested form, and that's why Jesus said that he and the Father are one.

Here I found a great quote about holons related to complexity: Notice the part about how at each holon level of complexity, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. That's a transcendent and emergent property that needs to be explained how it functions. How to explain that? Seems very tricky but also an interesting challenge to find a definition of complexity that explains the emergent property. Such definition will be very useful, for all kinds of things, even for how to explain the difference in ACIM between the ego and the Holy Spirit (holy = whole = holon?).

I'm unsatisfied with my own explanation of complexity as interconnected information. It's correct but not the whole picture maybe. Manifested reality is structured in a hierarchy of holons, a holarchy. An example of a holon is an atom in a molecule. The atom is a whole and is simultaneously a part. Ken Wilber has used the holon concept a lot. Here is a short video where Wilber explains the concept: The unmanifested reality can be seen as an infinite holon that contains the manifested reality as an expanding holon as a part of the unmanifested. I think the definition of complexity needs to be able to explain the holarchy of reality. I haven't figured it out yet but I thought it might be helpful to start tackling the issue by this brief introduction about holons.

If we achieve true inner peace, what will happen to our intellect? The intellect in ego consciousness is fueled by suffering. My answer is that the intellect can still function based on desires when we have inner peace. The state of true inner peace is "only" the foundation and on top of that things like love and even desires can be added. To first desire inner peace is therefore about healing the intellect.

The ego is a parasite sucking us dry of energy until we die. Even animals in nature have egos in that sense. It's not the individual members of a species that survive, it's the whole population that survives while the individual members die after an average lifespan that depends on the populations unconscious survival strategy. For the human ego it's the intellect which is its primary trait. The intellect feeds on suffering until we die. It's society as a whole that survives and the individual person subconsciously uses the intellect to feed society. That's why Eckhart Tolle wrote:

The intellect is emotionally dysfunctional. Even though the intellect is desire-driven it runs on suffering. Because suffering is needed as fuel for the desires. The intellect therefore runs away from inner peace, and it avoids desiring inner peace except through external means which ensures continued suffering after the brief and temporary period of experiencing inner peace.

The intellect has become a one trick pony on steroids for humanity. Our emotional intelligence suffers miserably as a consequence of the intellectual lock-in. Even the mainstream definition of emotional intelligence is very much dominated by an intellectual perspective: Emotional intelligence to me includes feeling inner peace. And desires are emotionally driven. Desires are fine but for higher emotional intelligence we need to first have the desire for inner peace. Will not the desire for inner peace block the other desires? Only for a while. The desire for inner peace needs to be stronger than ordinary desires. And then when inner peace is established, the desire for it is removed (the desire is only there when there is a lack of inner peace).

And if anybody has any doubt about the hypocrisy of self-sacrifice, Teal Swan has this new video:

Ha! Sadhguru said from about 3 minutes into this video that he is NOT service oriented: Amen! That's what I mean by service to others in the Law of One doesn't mean self-sacrifice.

Brad Johnson has a new video where he talks about a direct experience of having his intellect subside. I can't tell how real his experience was, but it might be a real experience, so I take it as a hypothesis at least.

If I'm tense in anticipation of the future now, unless how my mind works changes, I will still be tense one year from now! That's pretty horrible. So there is a systemic problem with my ego mind. What Brad Johnson said about the intellect, that it is the stupidest form of intelligence I found very interesting. And if the intellect is the primary attribute of the ego it fits with ACIM. I will do some mindfulness practice and observe my intellect and how I cling to thoughts and emotions.

From another perspective even the intellect is a part of the one infinite intelligence of reality. Everything is. It's just that the human intellect is a deliberate cosmic trick for the purpose of growth and development in third density, the Law of Confusion. It's actually an amazing achievement to make the intellect able to function as a means to produce our human civilization. To rely only on the intellect is a temporary stage. That's why ACIM and Eckhart Tolle say that the world is insane. Tolle said that all IQ tests show is your ability to solve little puzzles, and that intelligence is so much vaster than that.

Is the intellect the stupidest form of intelligence as Brad said? It probably depends on perspective. From the highest perspective of infinite intelligence, the intellect is indeed incredibly stupid! Take for example a man choosing what ice cream to buy. He compares prices and flavors etc of ice cream and then makes a decision. That choice is a complete delusion. First of all, the person doesn't have free will. And secondly, a real choice involves the synchronization of all particles in the entire universe who are all connected to each other plus with the butterfly effect making it possible for even a tiny movement of an atom to make a star explode years later. In nonlinear systems the tiniest changes in initial condition can produce huge effects later.

A new idea I have is that even our third density world will become peaceful, and after that it can move into fourth density. Some people say that fourth density has already started on earth and that could be true but on a small and not so visible scale. Without a peaceful third density world it will be difficult to have a fourth density development. Some people may think of fourth density as a split timeline and a different world, but I believe third and fourth density earth are the same, only with different vibrations. But how to make our current world peaceful? I think it can happen with accelerating technological progress. And as Ray Kurzweil has explained, the technological progress is not only exponential in terms of capacity but also in price/performance. An example he gave is that the first mobile phones were very expensive and only the power elite could afford them, and today even most people in poor countries have much more powerful phones. We will have to accept mass surveillance I think, because many people will remain in ego consciousness for a long time, so there will be peace through law enforcement with powerful technologies. Only in fourth density will we become truly peaceful.

Leo showed with factual data how society in the world has progressed from 1970 to 2010 with improved life expectancy, incomes, school attendance all over the world and poverty, illiteracy and mortality are declining globally, and war, crime rates and violence have been declining for decades. Steven Pinker showed how violence has been declining throughout the entire human history! One difference is that Steven Pinker said that the decline of violence is not guaranteed to continue. I believe it is guaranteed! And Leo said something similar, that cultures and society is always progressing forward, even when there are temporary setbacks. I think Leo is correct, and that there is a larger evolutionary progress towards higher and higher consciousness, complexity and love as Leo said.

It seems that ACIM has a correct view of society, that the world is insane. Eckhart Tolle has said something similar. There is a method to the madness though, and I think, and Tolle also has said, that the ego has been a necessary stage of development for humanity. And there is great value produced throughout our human history and it needs to be preserved. That value needs to be harvested. Society has more or less reached its limit in the "caterpillar" stage and over the next few decades my guess is that the whole world will be radically transformed rather than experiencing a continued gradual evolution of society.

The world is becoming more globally connected. I believe there will also be an evolutionary leap into a collective consciousness already within a few decades from today. And it will be interesting the hear what Leo has to say about the evolution of society in his new video:

Psychotherapy will only work when the personal memories are taken as being dysfunctional. Not only the content but also the structure of the memories themselves. That's why ACIM goes beyond taking personal memories seriously and instead claim that they suck, which they do. There is value in memories but it's totally messed up and entangled with the ego. And Helen Schucman, the channeler of ACIM was herself a professional psychologist. That should tell us something.

The tensions in body and mind are a result of clinging too much to the past! Simple. The ego believes it is focusing a lot on the future, while in fact it's only focusing on the past. Even the confusion in the mind is a result of clinging to the past. And it's even worse, the past to the ego is a bunch of personal memories based on, and all contaminated by, the false belief in separate doership. The ego says about its personal memories: my precious my precioussss... haha when we should say: what a load of crap my memories are. More seriously, there IS value in our memories but that value needs to be harvested correctly and the dirt cleaned out.
