Prince
and Geisha: Esalen and Robert Anton Wilson
Robert
Anton Wilson has intense blue eyes. The author of the "
Illuminati Trilogy " began his discourse on recursive patterns
last night. Finnegan's Wake is just another endless loop. Synchronicity,
isomorphisms and coincidence seem to have an infinite structure.
Our minds are a mirror of nature and just as nature recycles
itself, so we recycle our symbols. Our minds belong to the ultimate
field called the " no mind. "This no mind is even
deeper than Jung's collective unconscious.
Strange
loops seem to connect seemingly unconnected things on many levels
at once. The " no mind " seems to infinitely recycle
everything long enough to generate a field of its own. Our minds
contribute the patterns and they in turn take a life of their
own. Joyce tried to create a new language or reality tunnel
in order to liberate both his mind and that of others. The Wake
seems like random noise, but it has powerful patterns lying
just underneath it.
We
start with the waking ego, then go to the Freudian " unconscious,
" then Jung's collective " unconscious " and
finally the no mind. Every step downward into the no mind is
reflected in Joyce's creative evolution. On and on we went into
the wake. Robert talked about the Bell theorem of non-local
causality. Connections were made through meaning, not energy.
Causality maybe actually just a special case of synchronicity.
Two
minds can communicate non-locally by side-stepping space-time.
The non-local nature of the no mind allows this. In our dream
states, that's when everything is possible. Language is a necessary
crutch for humans. All we can do is be aware of this. Psychic
mutations generate new mind patterns and they briefly liberate
us, but life is nothing but a system of recursive patterns.
Those who have accomplished anything in the spiritual realm
know this and can often discover untapped potentials within
themselves and humankind.
Goodbye
space-time.
The
ego is at the bottom of the consciousness pyramid.
Get
comfortable with paradoxes and simply transcend them.
INSIDE THE FIELDS:
A
pattern often has a lot of redundancy.
Some
patterns have very high frequencies of redundancy.
When
they get together, they generate a psychic field.
Fields
are generated by an unfield where many potentialities exist.
Psychic
fields can over-lap..
Fields
can be arranged into meta-levels.
A
meta-level represents a different set of fields.
Where
do archetypes come from?
The
human mind can only handle a fixed amount of patterns.
Psychic
patterns have zero dimension.
New
patterns often resemble noise.
Redundancy
stabilizes patterns, but also ossifies them.
Patterns
jump between meta-levels.
Pattern
overload can cause an entropic flood inside a person's mind.
Information
by definition is new.
Information
can be the equivalent of noise.
Redundancy
has a spectrum.
How
much or how less of it is determined by frequency distributions.
The
unfield is a type of cupboard of limitless potentialities.
Fields
are actual expressions of a particular potential.
Bundles
of rules reflect chosen patterns in an environment perceived
and
selected by the human mind.
Fields
can be internally restructured by re-arranging the rule bundles.
New
patterns are then perceived by a new perception.
Rule
bundle restructuring and field transformations are part of a
perpetual
feedback process.
Inside
cultures and individuals trapped in space-time.
Go
beyond space-time and there is no trap at all.
