How can we understand the various cooperative effects of systems, whether they belong to physics, physiology, psychology, biology, etc.? In contrast to the analytic reductionism of classical science, systems philosophy integrates theory and philosophy to foster reorganization of thinking and knowing perceived reality. Rather than explaining what things are, we explore and describe how things work. Meta-narratives bind society and cultures together, integrating events and actions into meaningful patterns. The world of experience remains one of perceived reality and worldview. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/210

An Ongoing Model of Reality (by Alan J Oliver): The distinction between the physical reality and Prespacetime has been called the virtual state in some papers. For the sake of consistency I will use the latter term. In the virtual state the five elements would exist, as Bohm and others have suggested, as information in potential. It is interesting that the ancient teachers of Yoga described the finest particle as being a point without mass, adding that where a conjunction of these points occurs, a point with mass can appear. One could say their observation is analogous to a scientist’s description of the particles which pop in and out of empty space. What I draw from this is that every real particle of matter has its virtual potential in the virtual state. What is less obvious is the likelihood that this potential exists outside of the dimension we call time. Moving our focus to the point of the Big Bang, a moment in which there is an absence of matter, such as the state of a singularity or the Big Crunch, there would be a potential corresponding to that state, capable of triggering the appearance of the precursor to the formation of hydrogen, resulting in a new state which involved space and time in the physical sense. Thus the evolution of reality unfolded. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/211

Holographic Archetypes: Top Down & Bottom Up Control of Personal & Collective Consciousness (by Iona Miller): There is a pre-physical, unobservable domain of potentiality in quantum theory. It is the basis of fundamental interconnectedness and wholeness of Reality. The human body is not an object in space, but seamlessly welded to spacetime. We are not merely a phenomenal body of flesh, but one of awareness, of consciousness, a living interface of inner and outer field phenomena. The brain is not confined to our skull, but permeates our whole being through the intracellular matrix and sensory system, as well as the strong EM fields generated by the beating heart. Archetypes are rooted in or emerge from the holographic source field as attractors, chaotic systems having fractal or reiterative structures that repeat at all levels of observation. They never settle into equilibrium, periodicity, or resonance. Transpersonal experience creates a new interpretation, or perspective on reality. Systems arise from positive feedback and amplification. Thus, archetypes introduce erratic behavior that leads to the emergence of new situations, including creative insight. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/209

How the Brain Creates the Feeling of God: The Emergent Science of Neurotheology (by Iona Miller): In creativity and meditation we seek in a fully conscious way, willfully cooperating and facilitating the process not only of connecting with God, but experiencing oneself in the process of “becoming” god. The absorbed ego no longer perceives itself as a separate expression of consciousness, but as the same essence as All. We can become technoshamans, using the process of altering our consciousness through spiritual technologies. Even “lesser” mystical experiences have significant implications for spirituality and theology. It is the nature of the mystical mind to have such experiences and they have altered religion. So, a thorough understanding of how the mind/body functions to generate them is extremely useful. Paradoxical physiological mechanisms operate in the body under most conditions to chemically prevent the attainment of higher states of arousal on either end of the spectrum. But it is possible, with repeated exposure to the paradoxical situation to function effectively at higher levels of conjoined sympathetic and parasympathetic arousal, traditionally associated with sacred experience. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/207

Consciousness affects or informs human and nonhuman or inanimate forms alike. Consciousness is present everywhere in spacetime, so has no need to “go” or “be sent” via a medium or carrier. Synchronous events, including intentional or directed healing, may work via coherence, an entanglement or resonance effect, but we should be careful not to mistake this field effect for the mind itself, which permeates and undergirds all. Still none of us has any idea how anything material could be conscious, so we must simply stand in that Mystery. We share its essential nature; it is the cosmos within us. We are that. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/206

The Non-linear Theory as String Theory of Compton Wavelength Scale (by Alexander G. Kyriakos): The theory of strings has many interesting and important potentialities, but it cannot be verified because of smallness of the Planckian length scale. Below we will show that the nonlinear theory of elementary particles (NTEP) can be considered as a string theory, just like modern string theory, but in Compton’s wavelength scale. In this case, the mathematical abstractions of the last theory, such as space with a number of dimensions greater than 4, supersymmetric particles and other things that were not found by experiment, are not required in a real theory. However, the possibility of constructing a relativistic theory of gravity in string theory must not be rejected and can be considered in the future theory. http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/312

An Alternative to the Quantum Leap Paradigm (by Paul A. Kannapell): The primary purpose of this paper is to offer one alternative to the familiar quantum leap model. The key question is this: Is a sequence of different identical particles appearing and vanishing indistinguishable from one particle moving discontinuously? http://prespacetime.com/index.php/pst/article/view/284

Relation of the Chaos Equation to God Perceived by Pascal, Nietzsche & Nightingale (by Hideaki Yanagisawa): There is no reported equation that explains God. Evolutionary theory and many methods for rearranging thoughts were explained by the chaos theory. In this article, I explain God by a variable of a chaos equation as done in other previous studies. A representative chaos equation is given by Y(n+1) = p[1-Y(n)]Y(n). This equation has fixed and chaotic answers depending on the value of “p”. Continuous covariation is a necessary condition for the occurrence of chaotic phenomena. “Living” is a chaotic state because it follows continuous covariation with the environment. I contend that God perceived by Pascal, Nietzsche, and Nightingale can be explained by a relationship between fixed and chaotic answers. In living phenomena, time is a direction from a chaotic to fixed state and of decreasing entropy over time. Only the living function of creatures can decrease entropy. However, entropy increases over time in physical phenomena. Living creatures can recognize the time course as the opposing directions of entropy changes. In addition, they understand the direction of decreasing entropy beyond a Feigenbaum point as the power of God. Therefore, God can manifest as a process of decreasing entropy beyond a Feigenbaum point. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/171

Being Ant-worthy (by Mehran Banaei): To identify best practices and to maximize performance in our workplace environment we can learn far more from humble tiny insects than from top paid management consultants. In this perspicuous way of looking into the natural world, by possessing and inculcating within ourselves the approach of the ants, being conscious of all our capabilities and limitations, the possibilities of tremendous improvements in all human endeavors are endless. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/172

A New Uncertainty Principle Containing the Level of Consciousness (by Pradeep B. Deshpande, B. D. Kulkarni): The authors present a new uncertainty principle which contains a major impact factor, the level of consciousness of the experimenter and/or the subject if any, that can lead to uncertain results. A number of experiments have been conducted to back up this uncertainty principle. The findings may lead to a new understanding of certain observed phenomena. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/167

Cosmos ex Natura: Part II (by Chris King)

In this article, we are first going to look at each of the traditional views of major religions and see how well they actually address the existential dilemma in their cosmological narratives and then compare these with the difficulties and perceived limitations of the scientific description. This will then provide a more level playing field, in which the scientific description, which is already founded on the skeptical principle, as a root means of testing validity, can be compared with religious cosmological narratives based on affirmative belief, and religious narratives put to the same kind of scrutiny. Part II of this article include: 5. Mayan and Christian Redeemer's Blood; 6. Vedantic and Buddhist Cosmologies; 7. the ‘Other’: Kali and the Feminine Power of Living Space-time; 8. Shakti Cosmology in the Kali Yuga; and 9. The Perennial Tao. http://scigod.com/index.php/sgj/article/view/170

TGD Based Consciousness Theory and the "God" Helmet (by Matti Pitkanen)

In TGD Universe gauge fields are replaced with topological field quanta. Examples are topological light rays, magnetic/electric flux tubes and sheets, and flux quanta carrying both magnetic and electric fields. Flux quanta form a fractal hierarchy in the sense that there are flux quanta inside flux quanta. It is natural to assume quantization of Kahler magnetic flux. Braiding and reconnection are the basic topological operations for flux quanta. This article discusses how the basic notions assigned with the classical gauge and gravitational fields understood in standard sense generalize in TGD framework. Topological quantization and the notion of magnetic body are especially important in TGD inspired model of EEG. The attempt to understand the findings of Persinger from the study of what is known as “God” helmet leads to a considerable progress in the understanding the possible role of topologically quantized classical fields in biology and neuroscience. http://jcer.com/index.php/jcj/article/view/204

Pure mathematics is often seen as an ‘inverted pyramid’, in which algebra and analysis stand at the focal point, without which students could not possibly have a firm grounding for graduate studies. This paper examines a variety of evidence from brain studies of mathematical cognition, from mathematics in early child development, from studies of the gatherer-hunter mind, from a variety of puzzles, games and other human activities, from theories emerging from physical cosmology, and from burgeoning mathematical resources on the internet that suggest, to the contrary, that mathematics is a cultural language more akin to a maze than a focally-based hierarchy; that topology, geometry and dynamics are fundamental to the human mathematical mind; and that an exclusive focus on algebra and analysis may rather explain an increasing rift between modern mathematics and the ‘real world’ of the human population.
