A Mathematical Model Unlocks the Secrets of Vision

Recommended Posts

Quote

 

This is the great mystery of human vision: Vivid pictures of the world appear before our mind’s eye, yet the brain’s visual system receives very little information from the world itself. Much of what we “see” we conjure in our heads.

“A lot of the things you think you see you’re actually making up,” said Lai-Sang Young, a mathematician at New York University. “You don’t actually see them.”

Yet the brain must be doing a pretty good job of inventing the visual world, since we don’t routinely bump into doors. Unfortunately, studying anatomy alone doesn’t reveal how the brain makes these images up any more than staring at a car engine would allow you to decipher the laws of thermodynamics.

New research suggests mathematics is the key. For the past few years, Young has been engaged in an unlikely collaboration with her NYU colleagues Robert Shapley, a neuroscientist, and Logan Chariker, a mathematician. They’re creating a single mathematical model that unites years of biological experiments and explains how the brain produces elaborate visual reproductions of the world based on scant visual information.

this type of reductionist "nuts and bolts" approach - detecting "edges" - and detecting "gamma waves" synchronization - and yet not being able to explain "color" and various other aspects of vision.... There is another way to approach this. The holographic brain model postulates that what we perceive as vision is based on physical reality itself being a holograph such that 2-dimensional form as phase then encodes 3 dimensional space with time. The "brain port" is probably the closest example of this - so that vision is not separated from the other perceptions, as the "brain port" proves. Rather proprioception is called the 6th sense as it can convert or transduce vision from touch or listening. So how the "brain port" device works is via ultrasound as the basis for proprioception. Ultrasound enables acoustic cavitation which is then the 5th dimension. Benjamin Libet's experiments proved there is a delayed reaction - so it's not just that our brain is reconstructing the "External" reality but rather that our brain is constantly inhibiting the light signals that IS reality as a holograph! A strong dose of DMT-based medicine will reveal this - or some other strong serotonin agonist. Stuart Hameroff's research with Roger Penrose is much more appropriate to answer how vision works.

 

Quanta Magazine wants a kind of "pop" science that is based on reproducible technology as consumer products.

A good book on vision is called "In the Blink of an Eye" by Andrew Parker - on the evolution of vision during the Cambrian Explosion. Vision is from "quantum diffraction gradients" - much like seeing a rainbow on the back of a compact disc (the diffraction gradients).

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoNDcpkKXg2UioJKxTZI-ZA

So this is the Science of Consciousness lecture series from the latest Hameroff organized conference.

So it was sponsored by Harald Atmanspacher who emphasizes the secret of noncommutative phase as the basis for perception and consciousness and how this secret is revealed through meditation. Here is a key study Atmanspacher did on vision and meditation.

 

Rather than trying to reproduce vision through mathematical models - sir Roger Penrose has emphasized how consciousness can not be reduced to a mathematical computation or calculation. So then "real" vision means everything is happening at the same time with the future guiding the past.

 

We want to rely on science for our answers to mysteries yet we are not willing to dig into the deeper levels of science!

https://benthamopen.com/contents/pdf/TOCSJ/TOCSJ-2-234.pdf

Here is Atmanspacher's link for his study of Bistable Perception.

In other words vision originates out of noncommutative phase of the 5th dimension based on the reality we are always-already embedded in - that of light arising out of spacetime (Emptiness) itself as a holograph.

 

For example consider certain forest tribes that do not have good depth perception at all - because in the forest the vision is not dominant but rather listening is the dominant perception. Or consider a foot race - the starting signal is NOT from vision but rather from listening! Why? Because our brains take much more time to process a visual signal than an auditory one and our auditory cortex is much closer to our motor cortex. In contrast for smell - it's processed just a couple neurons away from our memory center and so this is why smell activates deep memories and also smell easily is inhibited by our cortex. So a new smell is through our thalamus but then soon we forget or do not perceive that smell (our cortex filters it out)... In contrast our sense of listening is "phase coherent" meaning that it resonates directly with the non-local source of reality. This is due to time-frequency uncertainty as the measuring limit of science itself - the ear can hear FASTER than Fourier Uncertainty by 10 times! So technology can not even measure how fast an ear can hear! hilarious. Such coherence is due to quantum coherence as non-local entanglement.

Yes, we co-create this reality. Together. All of us. So also important to know that you are connected, via your hearts most sophisticated sense of all your senses of translating energy in motion into the sense of energy motional emotion. This emotion is all about the relativity between you and your Greater Non-Physical Consciousness. Which can be seen like your soul, or as the breath of the source of all creation, as pure positive energy, source energy, the energy which creates worlds.

 

So let's say, there is consciousness, that creates resonance within itself, to reflect upon itself, as existance coming to know itself from all the different points of view that existance has of itself.

 

As a consciousness, or family of consciousness even, we come to an agreement of a new playground from which to expand further. And we agree to co-create in this reality, for the purpose of our joyous being and becoming evermore here and now. 

 

So this physical reality, has been thought upon, looooooooooong before it even came into being at all. And with that immense powerful focused consciousness, purely uncontradictedly focused and allowed to flow into evermore being and becoming consciousness offering pure thought, unconditional thoughts of pure positive motion forward / expansion, as the source of all creation. Pure thoughts, uncontradicted thought, non self-contradictory thought, expanding into the moreness of all this being and becoming, here we are.

 

A small part of our greater non-physical consciousness, focused here through the lense of our physical being which is an extension of our greater non-physical being. We are inseperable evermore from all that we truely are being and becoming evermore here and now. In the same sense you can say we are all connected atleast in some way shape or form. Maybe you need to go back all the way to the source of all creation to come to know your relationship fully, but you don't need to go back to do that, because the source of all creation is RIGHT HERE AND NOW WITH YOU flowing towards you, for you, through you, as you, with you, etc.evermore here and now for you and as you and through you, and towards you and even from you. And to the degree that you allow that, you feel good, and to the degree that you don't allow that, you don't feel so good. But you can never be seperated from all that you truely are being and becoming evermore here and now, as all of existance.

 

Here we are, on the leading edge of all creation. Not a joke, we are masters of creation. Sometimes also referred to as masters of limitation, because we humans have the capability of placing great vast immense limitations upon ourselves, and still be and become and still exist basically. So we get to enjoy a more specific journey of being and becoming, for the moreness of the more joy of our evermore being and becoming evermore. This is a rare thing in this universe of creation, but again, it's not like the suffering here on this planet is really the worst suffering in all of creation, because it's not. And only few people truely suffer, and even those people who truely suffer, often have many moments of coming back to realisation of all that they truely are.

 

There are even more unconceivable things to us, evermore. But still, well-being abounds, in this universe of creation, and infact it is the only stream of being and becoming, in this universe of creation. And in all of creation.

 

And there is great value in this, limitation game we play here, on this planet, but that value cannot be allowed to be realised by us, unless we release resistance towards our full blown realisation of all that we've truely become and are being and becoming evermore here and now. 

 

So let's say that the reason we humans have such a difficult time coming to know our true nature of being, and keep forgetting, and become less conscious, of our true nature of being and becoming evermore here and now, is simply because we chose this. And mostly, we chose it because we wanted to have that experience of "coming back to a fuller realisation." So again, more specific joy of being and becoming, as this physical reality is very specific. But in no way, is it less conducive of joy, it is more conducive of more joy and more alignment with our true nature of being and becoming evermore in joy, which indicates your alignment with your full blown allowed realisation of your evermore being and becoming evermore here and now. 

 

And that experience cannot be had, unless you allow it, by feeling better emotionally, closing the gap between you and You, or releasing the resistance that causes this pinching of your natural connection to all that you truely are being and becoming evermore. So we come to a new experience evermore, of a new realised desire evermore, of a new realised being and becoming evermore. It simply happens naturally. If you allow it. By simply knowing you always wanna feel better, because your soul is always calling you further into alignment with your own creation evermore, of your own being and becoming evermore. 

 

So when we feel negative emotion, that is a delightful realisation, that you have expanded, but not right now in this moment, allowing yourself to be in full allowed alignment with all that you've truely become and are being and becoming evermore here and now.

 

so we humans, have been playing this limitation game, of us being "inferior mortals" and our source of all creation, from which we are inseperable evermore, being "superior to us." Creating this unnecessary seperation, which really is just imaginary allways has been and always will be, and thus we sort of create some trouble for ourselves of discord, of feeling like we're seperated from our true nature, or maybe even believe we don't deserve to be all that we truely are, and that is your flawless emotional guidance system, calling you back home to all that you truely are being and becoming evermore here and now, which is simply normal and natural and feeling good thus as it is compatible with your true nature of being and becoming evermore here and now.

 

So this idea that we are less, can be seen as simply that we are never complete and infinite and eternal, being and becoming evermore, together with the source of all creation, we co-create all of it for our joyous being and becoming evermore. So we are unconditionally loved and supported evermore and inseperable evermore from our eternal and infinite nature of being, evermore, and we feel that connection always as our flawless emotional guidance system, always perfectly indicating our relativity between our physical being and our greater non-physical consciousness of evermore allowed being and becoming evermore for us, as unconditional love and support from the source of all creation evermore.

 

So we are free to create this experience for ourselves, because we have come to realise this new desire for ourselves. And we as a consciousness are free to be do or have anything we so desire. We are so unconditionally loved, that we are allowed to believe that we are not loved, and be fully supported in ALL of that. Simply for the joyness of that desire we have.

 

And as we do so, we come yet further and further into greater realisation of all our being and becoming evermore. 

 

So lets say, as a master of limitation, which almost every human is, we are a rare/special/beloved thing in this universe. We also share this leading edge of all creation, right here in this physical time space reality, with the animals, who have sort of bowed in service to us, and as we are also thus in service to them, meaning as stewards of the land, so are the dolphins the stewards of the ocean. And so we also learn from mother nature, and we are all connected in some way shape or form. Like a jewel. Or a gem. We feel awful as we impose these limitations upon ourselves which are not necessary, so ofcourse we need to sleep, to release resistance unconsciously. And also die, to release resistance consciously. And many people also meditate to release resistance consciously to be of service to those who have come to realise a new desire for experiencing a more conscious and deliberate home coming to all that we've truely become and are being and becoming evermore here and now.  But that is because that is who they truely are, that is truely their joy. And so every single unique consciousness, is like one piece of the puzzle that makes up the whole of all of existance being and becoming evermore. And from and through the source of all creation we flow evermore. That source of all creation, is an unconditional non-physical pure positive energy, that we in our physical being, our body translates that, into our most sophisticated sense of all senses of translating energy in motion into the energy motional sense of emotion, of joy. Of feeling very good, to be in alignment with the source of all creation, or perceiving your world through the eyes of source so to speak.

 

And so we have this journey, and eternal journey, of evermore being and becoming. And the journey never ends, and so the joy never ends. And the variety is infinite, so the realisation of new being and becoming never ends.  And this journey has always ment to be joyful, fun, delightful and all those good things you call positive emotion. That's simply our natural state of being.

 

But now, here we are in this limitation, often getting distracted by it, as this "physical" reality, we created and even are co-creating evermore here and now. This physical reality is not something real that exists outside of you. It exists within your greater non-physical consciousness, even as you are an extension of that which is all of that which you truely are. So often this physical reality causes us to get lost in it, but you cannot ever get lost, and the reason is simple. It's because you are inseperable from all that you truely are being and becoming evermore. And that is why you always feel the relativity between your physical being and your greater non-physical consciousness, as emotion.

 

So whenever you feel that which you call negative emotion, you are in that moment, not flowing with your own creation. You are contradicting your own creation, you are basically flowing your consciousness into the realisation of a self contradictory energetic thought pattern that causes you to become less conscious basically, but you can never ever lose the consciousness, because againm you are inseperable from it, and so, you feel negative emotion as you do this. And that is your indicator, that there is more, right here and now, that you are not allowing, you are basically flowing against your own true nature of being and becoming. Often using physical reality as your excuse to do so. Even tho those physical realities are just about how someone else has been focusing. It's not about what you will create for yourself. For your own joyful being and becoming evermore. 

 

so this perfect and always accurate emotion that you feel, is simply your emotional guidance system. It is your connection to your own source of all creation evermore. Because you are free to contradict your own source of all creation, for yourself, and thus experience negative emotion, which if it is allowed to continue, results in negative life experiences and conditions, including all disease and illness, that are simply secondary manifestational indicators of durably allowed negative emotion. 

 

And thus negative emotion, is about a perspective that one holds to, through your consciousness, free will, to choose to focus on that which you want to focus upon. We often insist=resistance that we do want something, even tho it is not what we want, because we feel negative emotion as we focus on that thing which we insist is what we want. And so we basically try to swim against the flow of our own creation, and so we suffer, because there is no point in doing that, because you cannot ever become less, infact, even doing so, you still become more evermore. So all is well.

 

All you gotta do, is let go of that resistance, and simply stay true to your heart, and let it guide you, to focus on that which does feel good to you. Not because that thing has power over you. But because you are coming back into alignment with your own greater non-physical consciousness, as you do so. And thus this coming back into alignment, releasing resistant self contradictory energy, feels like emotional relief to you. And eventually, feeling better, feeling very good aswell. Coming back into full blown realisation of your evermore being and becoming evermore here and now.

 

So you are not creating positive emotion, it is just an indicator that you are allowing yourself to come back into alignment with the fullness of all that you truely are being and becoming evermore here and now. And that means, you focus on that which you truely enjoy, and thus it expands evermore into evermore being and becoming for you. You created it, you are still creating it right now, and you will also continue to do so evermore.

 

But often, because we are so used to focusing in limitation, self contradictory energy, that it is actually more difficult for us to do something that is actually very easy. So easy infact, you cannot even do it. You have to allow it. Let go and allow.

 

So many teachers, wise as they are, teach meditation. As the art of allowing, the natural alignment between your physical being and your greater non-physical consciousness. And the reason is simple. Because if you don't do anything that causes the seperation/discord/resistance/selfcontradiction/pinching your full connection to all that you truely are being and becoming evermore here and now, then that natural full blown connection and evermore greater allowed realisation of all that you truely are being and becoming simply naturally happens. It is simply naturally, effortlessly and joyously allowed to happen. 

 

So when you meditate, and you focus your thought, purely on your object of focus, and thus you experience in that moment, nothing but your object of attention and focus, and that is what your awareness is, completely one and in that object of your focus, of your own choosing, that doesn't encourage thought, like a candle flame, or a mantra, or your own breath, or the sound of a fan, or listening to the rain. Many ways of meditating. So when you do this, you no longer offer thought. And so your mind quiets. And as you no longer offer thought, you also no longer offer contradictory thought. And as you no longer offer contradictory thought, it means you in that moment have no resistance, so you feel better emotionally. And more importantly, you allow your natural connection with all that you truely are, all the way to the source of all creation, of unconditional love. Of all that we truely want to be do or have evermore, it has already become here and now for us. And we come to realise it fully, we allow ourselves to come to full blown realisation of it evermore.

 

 And that is our natural state of being. That is our full true self of all that we truely are, physical and non-physical, co-blended, co-harmonized, converging, synchronising here and now into the moreness of our evermore greater allowed realisation of our evermore being and becoming evermore. 

 

And so all good things naturally flow to you and from you, and for you, and with you, and as you. Because you hold no resistance to it, you simply allow it, and thus you allow yourself to feel good emotionally, and thus you are allowing yourself to come back into full alignment with all that you truely are being and becoming evermore here and now, fully allowed connection to the source of all creation, of infinite intelligence and eternal wisdom, and unconditional love and support and all good and better things evermore.

 

You co-create all of it. The Source of All Creation is not being and becoming without you, but with you. And even if you create temporary resistance for yourself, of contradictory thought, feeling temporarily not so good thus, you are still unconditionally loved, but you simply don't enjoy your experience so much, and the reason is simply. Because you are not ment to do that, so it will never feel good to you, and the reason it will never feel good to you, is because to the degree that you feel bad, that much better will you feel, when you do let go of resistance. Because you truely are ment to feel good emotionally, unconditionally, and it feels good, to you, because it is compatible with your true nature.

 

Love this emotional guidance system that you have. As unconditional love to you evermore, and unconditional support and guidance evermore. To help you always under any and all conditions, regardless of any and all conditions always fully capable of coming back to full blown realisation of all that you truely are being and becoming evermore here and now where all of existance and the source of all creation is being and becoming evermore for you, to you, towards you, through you, with you, as you, etc.

 

For your natural joyous being and becoming evermore here and now. Or whatever you call that good feeling positive emotion that indicates your natural state of being in alignment with all that you've truely become and are being and becoming evermore here and now. Effortlessly, naturally, joyously. 

 

And again, meditation is the most easy and universally practical and applicable tool and technique to simply effortlessly and easily release all resistance, and simply allow your natural connection to all that you truely are being and becoming evermore. So you can focus again, simply on that which truely does feel good to you evermore fully for your very own joyous being and becoming evermore here and now. To be, do or have anything you want. As you are worthy evermore of anything you can ever want to be do or have, evermore, and you simply allow it naturally and effortlessly and easily, by coming back into full alignment with your own greater non-physical consciousness, which has already become all that you want to be do or have, and so beams it to you evermore, unconditionally, regardless of any and all conditions evermore under any and all conditions evermore. And so you feel this emotional relativity between you and your greater non-physical consciousness as your emotional guidance system. As your unconditional love and support. Of helping you come to evermore greater allowed realisation of all that you truely want to be do or have evermore. For you already are being and becoming it evermore here and now. 

 

And again, meditation, is the most easy and universally applicable and effective tool and technique and permission slip, we use for ourselves to allow ourselves to come to greater allowed realisation of all that we truely are being and becoming evermore here and now, that I know of. And you can always do this. Easily. Everyone can meditate. It's simply like looking at something, and holding your awareness there, and when you get distracted, then simply easily and effortlessly replacing it back on your object of focus/attention, (which can even be an internal object of focus/attention, as a vision you focus upon that doesn't mean anything or a mantra which is simply a sound you make designed to not mean anything) very easy and simple. And as you do this, you simply leave behind all thought, and your mind quiets, and you allow your natural well-being again. You open up, to flow the source of all creation through you without contradicting it. 

 

Untill you think a thought again, which causes resistant energy, a feeling of discord, also thus indicating that you are pinching yourself off from your true nature, of being and becoming evermore here and now, and so you feel less good. You can simply let go of that again, and simply focus on something else. And thus you let go of that energetically resistant / contradictory thought pattern. And it's gone. The end. It has never been more than a thought always has. And you are capable of allowing any and all conditions to come to full realisation for you, through you. As you. For you. Evermore. Unconditionally, regardless of any and all conditions, under any and all conditions. For again, you create those conditions, so as you come back into alignment with your own greater non-physical consciousness you can fully know and remember again fully all that you truely are and why you created those conditions and what their true value for you is evermore. So you are capable of enjoying any and all conditions evermore, unconditionally, evermore. As your very own joyous being and becoming evermore, as all that you truely are being and becoming evermore.
