Default a splat out thought about subjective reality

Ahh... I miss my little thread..., and my steaming rambling... (if it weren't for this little thread, my writing skills would be even worse)

well just in the middle of working on 2 machine projects and 1 hw and 1 physics lab report all due tomorrow .... (taking full advantage of having fun and not being a headless chicken, though all of that is utterly pointless?? probably..., though quite difficult to escape those right now. I mean I could drop out of school, but I don't know what I'd do from there. Maybe I'll just try and find out, or maybe not. I'll just have to see what my free will says )

but I though I'd translate some of Steve's words again... (hopefully this doesn't make people go insane, as talking about this type of stuff usually does (at least in me for a day or two... then its all cool....))

Anyway. Here goes....

Subjective vs. objective accuracy

When I view reality through the objective lens, my standard of accuracy is how well I can predict what’s going to happen.

When I view reality through the subjective lens, my standard of accuracy is how well I can create what’s going to happen.

When I view reality through both lenses simultaneously, my standard of accuracy is an ongoing dance of prediction and creation. This is the place where logic meets intuition and where science meets art.

In any meaningful human endeavor, such as building a business, governing a country, or writing a song, prediction and creation are inseparable. To achieve peak accuracy and effectiveness requires that both channels are in sync. Intelligent prediction fuels creative decisions because you rely on accurate observations to decide what to create next. And creative output enhances predictive ability, since you’re intentionally setting new causes in motion, thereby actively contributing to the resulting effects.

Prediction (objective lens): flowing down the hierarchy, using the IRs that are already there. These are well defined and model reality very well. Causes movement. [yea... this doesn't make sense to anyone but me...]

Creation (subjective reality): creating new IRs, that don't exists yet. New IRs let you do new things, take new actions, in the process of being refined, on its way to modeling reality well, but not quite there yet.

Decide what to create next: Using those lower order IRs to create higher order IRs.

logic: Your brain tossing around the roots of discrete and consistent IRs.

intuition: fuzzier IRs that are in the process of being made more well defined, so it turns that fuzzy vision of that painting into a higher resolution image into reality.

I also define intuition as thinking with my feelings. When I feel a certain area of my mind, it lets me reprogram that area (sends my consciousness/attention there, so that I can open up that piece of mind to being more creative.)

Oh. here's a cool thing I might expand on later. If this were to really make sense, each one of these sentences would probably need a page or two or explanation...

Normal mode/Objective mode: staring watching a dot move across the screen. Consciousness is focused highly on the dot. This is your objective/predictive mode. Your mind is not open to new things. Your conscious is focused on the outside mode, you are not aware of yourself, but of your environment.

Subjective/Creative mode: seeing a scary monster. Its scary because its unknown. Missing IRs. Totally unexpected/un-predicted. Your brain opens up, your body freezes so that your focus/attention is forced there so that your brain can fill in the missing IRs. Your eyes widen... inside your body, it feels like your consciousness expands, like a balloon is inflating inside of you. I've learned to do this manually, to expand my consciousness when I want to be creative. (though its more of a passive thing) This keeps the IR path ways open, instead of being restrictive so that the subconscious is not restricted, kinda like PhotoFocus. My focus/attention is center inside myself, inside the feeling of my head/mind/whatever you want to call it. From PhotoReading, this is the tangerine on the back of your head trick. Perhaps that tangerine is at the location of the peak of the hierarchy/source "charkra"/"truth"..., while in objective lens mode your attention is at the bottom of the hierarchy, corresponding to the external reality... the IRs are so well defined that the outside stimulus can be handled automatically by them so that the stimulus does not need to flow to the top so you don't need to be in high conscious/creative mode to handle it, you can be relatively unconscious to be in automatic objective lens mode (like driving your car on the highway at night).

This creative/subjective mode lets you be open to new IRs = Belief systems, because your consciousness lets you open your subconscious mind at the peak of your hierarchy, so if you want to "believe in subjective reality" you have to well, do it. So this is why its hard for people stuck in their old habits in their objective lense to make much sense of Steve's subjective reality, because, well their low concious/automatic and efficient objective lense keeps them from it.


ok... back to my machine projects...
