Improbable

That is the way it seems. Anything may be possible and given enough time, anything can occur. However, the rules are very specific, as the complexity of the occurrence increases, the probability decreases. Entropy and the conservation of energy play significant roles in policing any improbable events and occurrences. As it happens, humans are exceedingly complex and so improbable events are rare indeed. Some times I imagine that improbable events tend to form clusters. Perhaps it my own lack of understanding or failure to keep records that allows me to believe this. It is as though there exists a pool of highly improbable events nestled unseen in the vast ocean of the likely and commonplace.

Quantum particles are so simple, that the improbable is commonplace. This quality makes it impossible to verify more than a single aspect of their existence at any one time. As the improbable becomes more likely, the uncertainty of knowing precisely their attributes becomes greater. In the macroscopic world of humans and things, the quantum effects are not generally experienced. But, what if humans also shared a quantum reality. Would the improbability of events be changed? If so, would the uncertainty be associated with free will and destiny?
In my life there have been many events that I could not have controlled, i.e. no free will. There have also been many events that I manifested through my will. Yet, some how I still feel that free will is an illusion. Perhaps it is both (free will and destiny) but upon observation it appears to be one or the other.

Many years ago I had to learn how to interact and behave. It is a process most animals encounter when they are young and developing. Because of an accident, I was neither young nor still developing, when I learned. I sought feedback and signals to determine if I was approximately correct in my interpretation and response to stimulus. That in itself was a ‘messy’ system, as I had no way of precisely determining what the feedback meant. Even trial and error was limited in refining the interpretations I utilized. Those around me assumed that I was like them, in that I had already learned the tools and methods of interactions and communication. I learned to accept close enough was good enough and the best I could hope for given the limited time associated with one life.

One of the motivations in my life has been the finding of coincidences, anomalies, and improbabilities. For some reason, I was drawn to these. Like a rare flower, these seemed precious for the unusual qualities. Perhaps that is why I found a pool of improbabilities that surrounded my life. Perhaps it was just a perception. Perhaps experience and perception are similar to free will and destiny, in that both are possible until we examine and see it is one or the other but not both. It is my experience that the more improbable the event the more likely that other improbabilities are nearby. Like a dancer whose steps are similar throughout a song, improbabilities seem to follow a pattern.

Looking through my scope, I saw an event that only occurs once. Even some of those events can be commonplace however. While walking down a street in a big city, all those people I passed I would never see again, each being a ‘once in a lifetime experience’. However, I could have those experiences everyday which made it probable that it wasn’t a rare event, even if I perceived it as a once in a lifetime experience. This event was different as far as I could tell. It only occurred once and required that certain other events preceded it. The likelihood of the succession of events was improbable but not impossible. However, because it involved the macro world and not the quantum world, this makes its occurrence very rare. For example, the person Jesus Christ seemed to occur after various other events. It happened once and is not likely to occur again, despite the desire of many. Because the event occurred so many years ago it is also likely that what we perceive today did not happen, for what was once an experience is now just a perception with many possible interpretations.

The greatest experiment ever undertaken involves humans and their quantum connections. Unlike computers, insects, and some animals, there is a conscious connection between the macro world of bodies and the quantum world of possibilities in humans and some animals. That connection has the potential to change the experience/perception aspect into one of willful manifestation. Of course, this has been long sought. Alchemy comes to mind as does astrology and secret societies and their mysteries. It is also likely that although they sought this, they were unable to complete their search because of the inherent limitations of the human brain and its connection to the quantum world of the mind. Especially since most participants were raised by other humans and just as importantly, the science and math of the time were insufficient to create an experience. That has changed within the past few years. The math and science can now describe the quantum world, and there are those who were not trained by other humans and were not given the limitations typical of most people.

How does one maintain persistence in quantum foam? If all possibilities occur, then so must that one, even if improbable. Perhaps all possibilities do not occur which would make much of our reality improbable if not impossible.

What is reality? That question has only one answer and it is personal not universal. Reality is made up of two parts, perception and experience. In the experiential reality, there is a shared component that may include all of ‘reality’ and all realities. Things like gravity and computers, trees and flowers are part of that reality. Even things we may not personally experience are part of that reality like a super nova and the Higgs Boson. However, all things are ‘real’ and comprise the experiential reality we live in (as bodies) and share with others. The perceptual reality is a bit more complicated. It is a biological response to stimulus that is then interpreted by the brain and that digested information is presented to the quantum mind. Even though the tangible experiential reality is quantifiable, it often appears less real to us than our perceived reality. For example, dried ice which is very cold, will cause our bodies to respond as though being burned. There are numerous other examples, like optical illusions, religious beliefs, and trained/learned distortions. Perception is everything (even if not real) and everything else is questionable.
I have always been fascinated with those who suggest that life/bodies are illusions and to find truth one must transcend the body. It made sense to me some years ago but it didn’t quite mesh with what I perceived and being a body made me skeptical that the path to enlightenment was not through the body. I was relived to discover that the perceptual reality was not real and that the experiential reality was real. That was around the same time when I discovered being almost right was better than having no opinion. Good enough was good enough. The difficulty with trying to be absolutely precisely correct involves the quantum domain where nothing is absolutely determinate. It was better to be wrong occasionally and make mistakes then to try to never err. The later of course can be attained but you would be unable to move, unable to speak or interact because any interpreted information can be distorted and become incorrect. For example when I talk about a blue sky, I assume that you have some experience/perception of a blue sky. Which shade of blue isn’t as important as the idea of a blue sky. Almost is good enough. If we are talking about a blu-ray disc and the laser wavelength necessary to read it, then precision is important if I want to be compatible with that system. The cost of the precision is knowledge and experience. For most of us, the wavelength matters little and is not required information So what does all this have to do with enlightenment? Almost nothing! And the nothing part is the only important aspect. Without trying to describe a creator or otherwise, lets take a simple though journey through space and time.

After some billions of years, our solar system began to form. We are relatively young in this spacetime. The complexity of DNA/RNA can describe a very sophisticated creature such as a human. Using just four amino acids in various combinations and order, the entire human can be built. Which causes me to ponder this question. Are we sensors that are programmed to observe and relay information or are we enlightened beings pondering the nature of reality and existence? We are certainly sensors in the experiential reality but in the perceptual reality we also interpret the information which implies a form of intelligence/enlightenment. Religions seem to come from the perceptual reality. Interpretations of the experiential explained by terms like magic, spiritual, and secrets. We are either all enlightened or are all sensors. Yet we would attribute enlightenment only to certain people who have qualities that others seem to lack. That is because the interpreted information is not qualified in most people. It takes training and experience to know what wavelength of blue laser light is necessary, and like wise it takes training and experience to know how information changes when it is interpreted. This is where being almost correct is an advantage. Interpretation is unavoidable however, if we are conscious of our prejudices and biases, we have a better chance of passing on information that is ‘more correct’ . Will it be perfect, probably not, but it will be known and that is far more valuable than being absolutely correct. The quantum mind does not judge, interpret, nor qualify information. The quantum mind does take the information and uses it to manifest the experiential reality so that it corresponds to the perceptual reality. SO, distortions in produce distortions which require interpretation which result in misconceptions which in turn generate a realty that ‘proves’ its interpretation. A truly enlightened being would do nothing as that is the ‘clear’ state of being. Action and interpretation are the elements the quantum mind uses to determine if the perceptual reality is real. It is better to be wrong then to have no opinion. It is better to be than to wonder. Enlightenment is a given, manifestation is where we struggle. The only question that matters is ‘who are you’ or how can I know what it feels like to be you? Who am I and what is my purpose sound like great questions but they are simply answered. I am to ask questions and seek answers. This is where the almost right answer is far better than no answer. If the almost correct answers needs changing, so be it. Each update/change will change the question slightly driving us closer and closer to the absolutely precise answer we may need/want. Nothing is the most important idea we have. The quantum mind can use nothing to build a reality that fits our perceptions. This brings us to the point of this writing. Superimposed realities and how to use them.

Your reality and my reality overlap and sometimes fit together seamlessly. However, your sense of self and my sense of self determines how well they fit together. For example, a child’s reality often exactly matches their parents reality and there appears to be no difference between them. This is especially true in the earlier years of life. As the child grows, perceptions change and the two realities begin to diverge and may not even overlap except for some small areas. Religions and such try to fit realities together though the perceptual aspects. This often results in a shared reality and shared distortions but seldom does it create superimposed realities. So what is a superimposed reality.
Like the quantum world of superimposed states, a superimposed reality is two or more distinct reality that share the same time (possibly space as well). A rough example of this might be a house where two people share most of the spaces but each has their own ‘room(s)’. At the quantum level the probabilities of your house and my house occupying the same spacetime is very remote but possible. Perhaps the only thing preventing the possibility manifesting are the perceptual realities we do not share. What happens when we superimpose two realities? That is something we do all the time. Our perceptual reality and experiential reality are superimposed but we do not generally perceive that because our sense of self is often anchored/generated in perceptions instead of experiences. Perhaps this is why most enlightened beings seem to have had a difficult life of trials and tribulations.

Well, that is enough for now. I wanted to record this information in written form so that I could put it out there. Do I expect anything to happen? Probably not but not impossibly so. Will my experiences continue, with out a doubt they will and as I learn more and get almost right, perhaps I can visit you in body in our superimposed reality. Perhaps the most interesting aspect is how the quantum mind will manifest a reality that is transparent. A reality that requires no interpretation to exist.
