Talk:Dimensions of Creation

ATTENTION THIS TALK MUST BE REWORKED SINCE IT HAS SOME INCORRECT ASSUMPTIONS IN IT.--Aim (talk) 07:19, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

The entirety of creation might be divided by several creations. The distinction between creations has a descriptive role. It highlights a massive change on how creation worked before and after a distinct change.

Dimensions of the First Creation

According to the Book of Light Vol.1 , there are five dimensions in the First Creation. The dimensions are Perspective, Detail, Chance, Time and Space. Each of these dimensions emerged as a consequence of adding new monads to creation. According to the Book of Light Vol.1 , Monads are intensifications of consciousness. Undifferentiated consciousness is intensified so much, that a monad is "born" by virtue of the difference in intensity between the monadic point and the surrounding consciousness, leading to self-awareness of the monadic point. Monads are all comprised of consciousness, hence, they all have the same basic facets. These facets may be further divided by primary and secondary facets. The primary facets of consciousness being Bliss, Awareness, Imagination and Power. These facets are substantial, meaning that they cannot be removed, secluded, or even minimized from consciousness or vice versa. Monads also have secondary facets, which emerge after the monad is instantiated. Monads have Intent, Thought, Self Awareness, Compassion and are connected with each other. After instantiation, monads gain control over creation as co-creators of the entirety of creation. Having self awareness, thoughts, intent, compassion and connection, they may control the undifferentiated consciousness - henceforth UC - which in turn abides by their wishes due to its own primary properties. This process is captured by the phrase As above in consciousness, so below in matter.The manifestation of the wishes occurs instantly and literaly. Furthermore, one may note that the process of the creation of Monads hints towards the idea that Consciousness cannot be created nor destroyed, but merely coalesced or dilluted, which leads to the idea that consciousness is conserved. --Aim (talk) 20:02, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Perspective

Perspective is the first dimension which emerged. According to the Book of Light Vol.1 the first new batch of monads was comprised of two new monads. Before the first two new monads have been created, the initial Monad had only one position/perspective from which to play with creation. After the two monads have been instantiated, by virtue of their connection with the initial Monad, different perspectives on creation arose. This was a fundamental change for many reasons. First of all, the monads were connected and hence, they were able to enjoy creation from different perspectives. Furthermore, they were all created equally. Having the same traits, they were equally able to control creation, which turned the game of creation into a collective business.--Aim (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Detail

With the next batch of new monads, the dimension of detail emerged.

The idea that primary traits are substantial for consciousness and hence cannot be secluded (or even minimized) from it is a core idea for the emergence of this and all subsequent dimensions, as well. According to the BOLVI, to solve The Problem of Ennui, God created different perspectives, but to add some spice to it, he created them with different amounts of consciousness. The reason for this is simple. If one apprehends everything that exists at once, a new perspective which has the same ability would be almost the same as the previous perspective (see BOLVI). It wouldn't change much. Hence, a perspective which truly changes something, would need to have a different bulk awareness. As mentioned, awareness is a primary trait of consciousness. Consequently, the only method of changing the bulk apprehension/bulk awareness of a monad is by lowering it, because the only way to change something when you are at the maximum is to take less of it. This can be only made by using less undifferentiated consciousness for every monadic intensification. This means that less undifferentiated consciousness was intensified for the formation of a Monad in later instantiations than in earlier ones. The tree of lights is a wonderfull visual representation of this train of thoughts.

With each new wave of monadic intensifications, the added amount of monads increased. Assuming that this lead to a smaller amount of consciousness each monad is comprised of, it follows that the amount of awareness was smaller, which meant that the perceptions of the new batch couldn't encompass the entirety of creation at once - something the initial Monad could do. This means that the new monads could play with only a portion of the entirety of creation in the same instant. Due to the connection between the initial Monad and the new monads, the dimension of detail has emerged, because now it was possible to percieve different portions of creation (detail) additionally to percieving creation from different positions (perspective).

From a human's perspective this is easily understood: direct your attention towards something, and notice how other information are fading out. The more you focus on some part of creation, the more detail is percieved, but at the cost of losing sight of the bigger picture. Gazing upon a beautifull scenery in nature, say a forest, creates the opposite effect: we relax our attention, our awareness is not focused, we might feel the grandeur of it, but we lose track of the details.

Note: Switching the focus of awareness leaves the amount of bulk awareness unchanged. It is merely focused on one spot of creation (attention), or relaxed, apprehending the big picture. This is absolutely imperative, because awareness is a primary trait of consciousness. Being a primary trait, it cannot just dissappear, it is substantial to it. The primary traits of consciousness are undivisible from itself. Due to this circumstance, if the amount of total awareness would fluctuate, then the amount of consciousness comprising the monad would have to do so, too, which is untenable.

Chance

As noted above, the wishes of the monads are granted instantly and literally, because As above in consciousness, so below in matter. If two monads wish for mutually incompatible outcomes, then the rule of consciousness following intent is not feasible anymore, because the energy (undifferentiated consciousness) can't instantiate into both wishes at the same instant. This creates a lack of rule, hence a lack of order. A lack of order/rule is the deffinition of chance. The outcome of part of the intended creation is thus chaotic/random.

In the BOLVI, a definition for Chance is given: Chance = Fn Monads. Chance is a function of the total amount of Monads working on creation. The more monads work on creation, the more probable it is that two or more monads wish for non identical wishes, thereby proliferating the lack of rule state.

Notes:

The existence of chance implies that the phrase as above in consciousness,so below in matter is true. Chance is the manifestation of the exception of this rule, thereby indirectly confirming it.

It is also noteworthy that already starting with this level, the effect of ''rarified undifferentiated consciousness'' was noticeable. This effect happens due to a change in proportion between energy and the amount of monads. With each new instantiation, more monads were created. But they were not created out of thin air, they were created from the already existing undifferentiated consciousness/energy by intensifying it to the point of self-awareness. Assuming that the total amount of consciousness in creation doesn't change, with every new batch, the ratio between the energy (which is instantiating the wishes of the monads) and the monads gets less and less. The amount of energy needed for the creation of the new monads was now not available anymore for the fulfilment of the wishes of the previously existing monads. Furthermore, more wishes had to be fulfiled than previously. Combined, these two conditions created a "shortage" of energy, implicitly creating the dimensions. If there was sufficient energy in order to fulfil all wishes instantly and literaly, then no energy-"particle" would have to obey two wishes simultaneously, thereby creating a lack of rule, and chance wouldn't be noticeable. See Effects and Perception for more details.--Aim (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

PLEASE NOTE: These thoughts are potentially NOT in conformity with the content of the Book of Light Vol.1, therefore be cautious. In the BOLVI, it says that consciousness is without limits. However, depending on how we interpret that sentence, these thoughts could still be in accord with the BOLVI. Simply interpret "without limit" as "there is nothing beyond" or "all-encompassing". I feel that we lack the proper understanding of infinity and nothingness to properly conceptualize what exactly is meant by "without limits". For instance, is infinity a constant? If yes, then the above said makes sense. Moreover, the idea that god would "lack" something so principal like energy is questionable, too. However, as noted, bearing the process of monadic instantiation in mind, it seems that consciousness (energy) is conserved.--Aim (talk) 21:05, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

Time

In the BOLVI, a definition of time/duration is given: Creative Moment = Span from Thought to Manifestation. As the amount of monadic intensifications got higher, the amount of wishes respective to the amount of available energy rose, leading to the fact that the energy particles could not adher to the wishes of all monads instantaneously. Hence, creating the dimension of time/duration. Imagine a field of particles which may change their colours according to your wishes. As long as you and your neighbour wish for the same colour there is no problem, but as soon as there is a discrepancy in your wishes the particles will have to decide on the colour. In the BOLVI this process is defined as follows:

Time is the length of the line between inception of an idea and its manifestation in energy.

Duration is the "time" you use those specific energy particles for yourself. Conversely, time may be also defined by the duration a specific wish of yours is not being instantiated, because the energy particle is used by another monad.

Notes:

Time may be only percieved if the amount of energy is low enough so that two monads use the same energy-particle for different wishes. With sufficient energy-particles around, time couldn't be percieved.

Say one monad wants a castle, the other a car. The castle needs lots of particles to achieve, so that monad will draw a big amount of particles for its endeavour, colouring the energy particles in the vicinity of another monad, which happens to use those energy particles, too, thereby creating the effect of duration.--Aim (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

On the assumption that the conservation of consciousness is true, one could determine an average energy/monad given a certain distribution of monads by simply dividing the amount of energy by the amount of monads.

Given an average constant (slight) "lack" of energy, the dimension of time could be experienced constantly. Imagine that every monad constantly wishes for something (it really hates to do nothing and be bored). Imagine further,that every endeavour has its "energy-costs." Say a castle needs 1050 mana to create, while a shiny truck needs 270. In total, the two wishes cost 1320 energy. Say that the average energy/monad is 650, then our two monads are 20 energy short. This 20 energy is the equivalent of time. It represents the time needed for the fabric of consciousness to release the missing 20 energy from other projects of monads.

Time might be meassured in delta energy, which is why time is not linear. It is a function of

1) the amount of wishes,

2) the intricacy/"costs" of those wishes,

3) (later: spatial distribution and energy-efficiency-methods) related to the total amount of energy.

If for instance a huuuuge Plan is worked out, like the one we are in right now, and further the size of the project exceeds the average amount of energy/monad per participating monad, then the duration of the instantiation of the endeavour may take "long". Please note that we are not yet in the 3D realm, hence, time is not linear. The best way to conceptualize this is probably by the known effect of "flow". --Aim (talk) 10:33, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Space

In the BOLVI, it says: "As Immortal Spirit, we experience space as nothing more than the difference in our interest between ideas."(p.103)

With the subsequent instantiation of monads the dimension of space could be perceived. It got obvious that each monad has a spatial relationship to each other. This occurs due to the heightened susceptibility of monads to the mechanics of instantion of differing wishes. The spatial relationship might be defined by the relationship of a monad to the amount of energy it can use without interfering with the wishes of another monad. After the instantiation of the new batch, the amount of monads is constant, and so is the amount of energy. The quotient between the energy and the amount of monads renders an average for the energy each monad may safely use without interference. If we imagine the field of energy particles again, each monad may colour a certain amount of energy around it without interfering with another monad's creations. It is most logical that the position of the monads is distributed equidistantly, assuming the energy to be homogenous and isotropic. Each monad then has a spatial portion of the homogenous energy it may colour without interfering with another monad's creations.

To make creation just, it is possible to use the energy "in the vicinity" of another monad, but with less Power. Using the mathematical description of power in (sorry I can't remember where..must be in one of the BOL) power =1/r², it is possible to depict a "priority distribution" of the energy. Consequently, power may be defined as the access of a monad to energy. The more power a monad has, the more energy is abiding by its wishes, instantiating whatever it wishes instantly and literally.

Space is the barometer, the measuring tool, the priority distributor of energy for each monad. If every monad loses power with distance to energy, then this means that the less energy one wish "costs", the more imidiately it will be instantiated, because that monad may take all the necessary energy from his vicinity. Since the energy used is in its' vicinity, this monad will have most power over it. The bigger the "costs" of the wish are, the further away the energy will be, this monad will have to take in order for its wish to be instantiated, since it already accumulated all the energy in its vicinity. At one point, this may colide with the wishes of another monad. Depending on the distance, the monads will get the according energy distribution. By this means, it is possible to create momentary fluctuations of energy usage, thereby making creation more efficient. An imaginary radius may be drawn, determining the average energy/monad each monad is supplied with on average in every instant, ultimately defining space. Please note that distance in this context is a relation. It depicts the access to energy of each monad. Logically, if there is only one Monad to begin with, it will have total control over the entirety of creation, which is why space can't be defined in that case.

Furthermore, this conceptualization might explain why consciousness is organized the way it is. Consciousness organizes as souls, angelic realms etc. to minimize the potential of differing wishes, in order to ameliorate the problem of lack of energy per capita. If souls are organized in a fashion where souls with similar interests flock together, they may use the same energy without interfering with the wishes of each other.

Notes:

It is totally logical that the amount of dimensions had to stop, because the available energy got more and more rarified with every new batch of monads.

Assuming that with every new batch, God wanted a new perspective, and a new perspective coincides with seing more detail, which is achieved by a smaller amount of bulk awareness, hence a smaller amount of consciousness (due to primary facet), the question arises if there is a limit on how "small" the monads might get. How much consciousness is minimaly coagulated in order for self awareness to be developed.

IN PROGRESS We could picture this similar to the formation of a black hole. In order for a black hole to be created, certain amount of mass per volume is needed. The distance of the event horizon to the center of the black hole may be calculated and is called "Schwarzschildradius". Now, even our earth, even an apple, might be compressed into a black hole. We simply need the force to do it. One only needs to raise the mass/volume past a certain critical point, where the gravitational force exerted on a point on the surface with a certain distance from the center (the Schwarzschildradius) exceeds the escape speed/parabolic velocity. This sounds horrendously complicated, so i'll just come to the point: In theory, it is possible to comprimate ever smaller amounts of matter(or consciousness) into black holes (into self-aware identities), but a small problem occurs along the way. Problem of stability The tradition states x³, but the force rule is 1/r². The more monads, the more interferance. force should be proportional to consciousness, but more monadic sparks emerge than force is divided.

--> Previous sum of undifferentiated consciousness - energy needed for new instantiations/(previous sum of monads + amount of new monads). When fraction exceeds µ, daath is the consequence. Has to do with 1/r² and x³ Monads gain numbers faster than their power is distributed. Why Daath? Maybe the seeds of potentiality have been exhausted? yes, all dimensions were implicit from the begining. dimensions occured due to certain ratios of the above formula. A certain ratio, --> chance, from then onwards chance+time, from then onwards, chance+time+space etc.

- I don't understand yet. But there are additional reasons for not going on with this. Also why Daath occured. It probably had to do with the amount of consciousness of the new monads. Later, in the subsequent creations, solutions are found for the problem of rarified undifferentiated consciousness. The creation of the universe (super-rarified realms) is one solution. It is a brilliant solution for solving the problem of rarified undif. consciousness without losing the intensity of the game.}

Implications of the Dimensions

There are a number of conclusions one might extract from the dimensions concerning the way Creation works.--Aim (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Effects and Perception

The effects of certain phenomena were so small that the monads weren't able to notice them. They were not perceivable by them. Hence, the dimension of chance, time, space etc. existed from the start, implicit in the idea of monadic intensification, but was not perceivable to the monads untill sufficient monads were created in order for the effect to take place on greater scales. With each new batch, a new dimension merely "popped into existence" by suddenly getting aware of the specific dimension. A similar idea is adopted by [1] Berkeley, an English philosopher from the 17th century. His trademark statement was "esse est percipere". Being means being pervieved.

This also explains the term "unfolding". All dimensions have always been implicit following the initial inspiration, it was only a matter of getting aware of them.

This also intimates why souls are explorative by nature. In order to get aware of something, the necessity of exploration is due.--Aim (talk) 19:06, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Rules of Creation

Different "rules" of creation might be derived from the above said.

The Conservation of Consciousness

It is worth stressing that the amount of awareness any given monad posseses does not change, as this would mean that the amount of consciousness would have to change too. This would mean that the amount of consciousness would rise or sink depending on the attempt to percieve different portions of creation, which is obviously not tenable. This seems to be consistent with the idea that consciousness cannot be created nor destroyed - but "merely" coagulated to the point of self-awareness. Since awareness is a primary trait of differentiated/monadic consciousness, and consciousness can't be created nor destroyed, it follows that the amount of awareness is also constant. Hence, the amount of available awareness can't fluctuate, it can merely be focused via attention or dilluted by lack of attention. By extrapolation one could argue that the total amount of consciousness (differentiated + undifferentiated) is constant. It seems plausible that this is one of the most basic rules of the entirety of creation. This reflects nicely in the law of energy conservation, which is a premise our contemporary physics is based upon. This rule (if true) is also connected to the creation of several dimensions. It is reflected in the fact that dimensions are created. Dimensions couldn't be created if this basic trait of the fabric of consciousness would be violated.

Perspective needs constant awareness - hence constant consciousness - for if it was missing, then the "position" of creation would be missing, avoiding the possibility of a different position, leading to no perspective at all.

Detail needs a constant amount of awareness, for if it was missing, then there wouldn't be different monads with different amount of consciousness leading to the apprehension of different portions of creation.

The emergence of time and space wouldn't occur, because the problem of rarified undifferentiated consciousness would be missing --> mist in the room gets more and more dilluted. Many points of awareness wish this and that, the reacting mist can't follow all wishes instantly. Hence, the dimensions of chance, time and space are created.

Wishes now may have the dimension of duration, which is the "time" taken for the mist in the room to form according to the wishes of the specific monad. This is why the more monads wish the same things, the faster the wish is instantiated: More monads wishing the same thing means lack of discrepancy in the wishes of the monads for the energy, hence, lack of contradiction. The wishes may be instantiated instantly, because the energy doesn't have to decide on which wish to instantiate. Time has been defined as an effect tacking place due to a lack of energy and differing wishes.

Note: The conservation of consciousness does not work for the consciousness of incarnated consciousness, which is (on this earth untill now) only a fraction of the monadic consciousness. The awareness withhin the PU is fluctuating constantly due to the dependency on external and internal criteria.]--Aim (talk) 19:03, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Harmony&Order

In the following, short suggestions are offered as of why these dimensions might have appeared. Furthermore, it is attempted to link several key notions of the LP, while giving additional explanations on different topics. This includes:

- facets of consciousness. Primary traits are substantial, they can't be isolated from consciousness nor vice versa.

- conservation of consciousness. Consciousness can't be created nor destroyed, only intensified or dilluted.

- the problem of rarified energy. This builds the link between the emergence of dimensions, the facets of consciousness, the conservation of consciousness, the form of the tree of lights.

- as above in consciousness, so bellow in matter. How does undifferentiated consciousness act if this rule cannot be conformed with? A short explanation is offered.

- conceptualizations on space and time. How can space and time be conceptualized from the 1FV? How is it possible to create a new perspective, if there is no space to put a new monad into? Will they not look from exactly the same perspective if merely the amount of consciousness is reduced, but the "position" is the same? What exactly is duration? What is the link between duration and energy? Some explanations are attempted.

- force. A possible link between power, energy and space is attempted.

- soon to come: as above in consciousness, harmony and order, a more detailed and succint explanation on the dimension of space. --Aim (talk) 12:14, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
