To the extent that Gateway succeeds in bringing about a reinforcement in energy matrix of the mind, it succeeds by expanding or altering human consciousness so that it can perceive without recourse to the intercession of the physical senses, such that ever more of the universal hologram, not of course accessible by sense perception, can ultimately be perceived and understood.
Marilyn Ferguson has written that the theories of Pribram and Bohm appear to account for all the for all transcendental experience, paranormal events, and even quote normal perceptual oddities. She goes on to say of Pribram, quote Currently, he is proposing a startling all-encompassing model that is generating considerable excitement among those intrigued by the mysteries of human consciousness. His quote holographic model marries brain research
to theoretical physics. It accounts for normal perception and simultaneously takes paranormal and transcendental experiences out of the supernatural by explaining them as part of nature.
Like certain strange discoveries of quantum physics, the radical reorientation of this theory suddenly makes sense of paradoxical sayings of mystics throughout the ages. Yeah, th- this this does make sense to me and and again, this sort of harmonizes with um a trend I see among a lot of philosophers of consciousness, you know, like people like Bernardo Kastrup, um people like Dr. Donald Hoffman even, um John Vervaeke, you know, that
there is nothing supernatural about extended expanded states of consciousness or consciousness, but at the same time consciousness itself cannot be explained in merely um you know, classical physics materialistic terms because there are these like anomalous features of consciousness and perception and the human experience that just can't be reduced down to a physicalist framework. So, then what they do is they expand the horizon of
what is considered natural, which you know, it makes a lot of sense. Like if you're if you're dealing with a scientific system that accounts for something like quantum physics, consider something like the holographic universe, and that consciousness is a part of that universal hologram, you don't need anything supernatural because you have uh sufficient notions and theories to put consciousness in a lens that is, you know, natural, at
least by those terms. All right, 17, self-cognition. To complete our outline of the process by which the mind achieves and exercises consciousness, we must also describe the mechanism which accounts for the aspect of human thought that differentiates it from consciousness of plants and animals, >> >> i.e., self-cognition. Humans not only know, but they know that they know. They are able to monitor the process of their
own thinking and maintain awareness of it. Moreover, they can conduct a comparative assessment evaluating the functioning of their thought processes against various objective standards they have adopted. Human consciousness can do this because it has the capacity to duplicate aspects of its own hologram, project them out, perceive that projection, put it through comparison with the memory aspect where its evaluation standards of measure are
stored of its own hologram, and measure or sense the differences using three-dimensional geometry, and then binary go, no go pulse to yield verbal cognition about the self. Tempted to use the the phrase word salad there, but I I don't think it's nonsense. I don't think what they're what he's saying is nonsense, but it's just another one of these classic run-on sentences that is just clunky to read and fully grok on the first go through.
But yeah, I mean, how can you not agree with the idea that there's something you know, I don't I don't want to like diminish other kinds of intelligence because I think as humans we have a tendency to want to do that, but clearly there is something different about human consciousness, right? And we do have this ability that he's talking about to essentially project, create our own, if you want to call it, holograms um
or creations and consider those and weigh them philosophically, you know, like think about something very practical like art, let's say. Um that is a kind of meaning human beings are capable of producing and reflecting upon in a way that is very central to what we are as creatures.
All right, point 18. Time-space dimension. Up to this point, oh, you're going to love this part. Up to this point our discussion of the Gateway process has been relatively simple and easy to follow.
But now the fun begins. Gateway involves more than just perception of those aspects of the universal hologram which can be accessed in the dimension of time-space as we know it. To explain how and why human consciousness can be brought to transcend the limitations of time-space is the next task which must be addressed. To do this we must first appreciate what time and space are in order to understand how the dimension
that they constitute can be transcended. Physicists define time as a measurement of energy or force in motion. In other words, it is a measurement of change. However, in order for energy to be in motion, it must first be limited in some way within the confines of some sort of vibratory pattern so that its confinement gives it the capacity for being contained at a specific location which is distinguishable from other locations, space.
Energy which is not confined is force without limit, without dimension, without limits of form. It is infinity, cannot move because there is nothing beyond infinity, and is therefore outside the dimension of time. It is also beyond space because that concept implies that a specific energy form is limited to a specific location and is absent from other locations. But if energy is in the state of infinity, there are no boundaries, no here to
differentiate from there, no sense of area. Energy in infinity means energy uniformly extended without limit. It has no beginning, no end, no location. It is conscious force, the fundamental primal power of existence without form, a state of infinite being. Energy in infinity is said to be completely at rest and therefore cannot generate holograms so long as it remains utterly inactive. It contains its inherent capacity for
consciousness in that it can receive and passively perceive holograms generated by energy in motion out in the various dimensions which make up the created universe, but it cannot be perceived by consciousness operating in the active universe. Energy in this state of inactive infinity is termed by physicists as energy in its absolute state or simply {quote} the absolute.
Between the absolute and the material universe in which we experience our physical existence are various intervening dimensions to which human consciousness and altered states of being may gain access. Theoretically, human consciousness may continue to expand the horizons of its perceptual capacity until it reaches the dimension of the absolute, at which point perception stops because the absolute generates no holograms of or about
itself. So, some pretty key ideas here, I would say, in this point about the time-space dimension. You know, obviously we're just defining generally what time and space are, but we're also putting out, I guess, the sort of hypothesis that consciousness itself really, um, is always part of this equation, whether if it's in a differentiated holographic form as we're talking about here, you know, in that consciousness instantiates itself in an absolute
universe worth of a panoply of ways, but it's also in its state is unified and at rest in the form of the absolute, and that we as human beings have the ability to perceive just a multitude of states between here and the absolute. And I mean, this really harmonizes with the world's spiritual traditions, particularly of the mystical flavor, right?
In other words, the idea that we're all one, that underlying all of the apparent diversity, there is this absolute or this one or this unified mystery that we're all, uh, derivative of or that we somehow differentiated out of.
All right, 19 intervening dimensions. Since the absolute is conscious energy and infinity, i.e. without boundaries, it occupies every dimension to include the time-space dimension in which we have our physical existence, but we cannot perceive it. It overlays everything as do many of the intervening gradients or dimensions through which the energies of the universe pass on their way to and from their home in the state of infinity or the absolute.
To enter these intervening dimensions, human consciousness must focus with such intense coherence that the frequency of the energy pattern which comprises that consciousness, i.e. the brainwave output, can accelerate to a point where the resulting frequency pattern, if displayed on an oscilloscope, would look virtually like a solid line.
Achievement of this state of altered consciousness >> >> sets the stage for perception of non-space-time dimensions because of the operation of a principle in physics known as Planck's distance.
This is an aspect of quantum mechanics which applies to the fact that any oscillating frequency such as a brainwave reaches two points of complete rest which constitute the boundaries of each individual's oscillation, i.e. movement up or down.
Without these points of rest, an oscillating wave pattern would be impossible since the points of rest are required to permit the energy to change direction and thus continue vibrating between rigid limits.
But it is also true that when for an infinitesimally brief instant that energy reaches one of its two points of rest and quote clicks out of time-space and joins infinity. See exhibit three, next page.
That critical step out of space-time occurs when the speed of the oscillation drops below 10 to the 33 cm per second, Planck's distance. To use the words of Bentov, quote quantum mechanics tells us that when distances go below Planck's distance, which is 10 to the -33 cm, we enter in effect a new world, end quote. To return to our case in point, the human consciousness wave reaches such high frequency that the pattern of click-outs
comes so close together that there is virtual continuity in it. Then a portion of that consciousness is actually postulated to establish and maintain its information collection function in those dimensions located between time-space and the absolute.
Thus the almost continuous click-out pattern establishes itself in continuous phase at speeds below Planck's distance, but before reaching the state of total rest, human consciousness passes through the looking glass of time-space after the fashion of Alice beginning her journey into wonderland. Wow. The gateway experience with its associated hemi-sync technique is apparently designed if used systematically and patiently to enable human consciousness
to establish a coherent pattern of perception in those dimensions where speeds below Planck's distance apply. This holds true irrespective of whether the individual is exercising his consciousness while in his physical body or whether he is doing so after having separated that consciousness from the physical body, i.e. the so-called out-of-body state mentioned earlier.
Okay. So, this is more esoteric, but this is really huge and I'm going to have to think about this because this notion of clicking out we would use this phrase all the time at the retreat to refer to when you're doing a you know, a hemi-sync meditation and you just like lose consciousness suddenly.
When I I talked about this in the other video, so I won't go on at length about this, but at first I really considered that to be just falling asleep during a meditation. But, the phenomenology of clicking out versus falling asleep is different. And the more you ride the line between, you know, metacognating, being self-aware, like understanding, "Okay, I am Michael.
