Human consciousness has fallen into matters

  The three-dimensionality of the object/matter as a three-dimensional object/matter and the three-dimensionality of the space extending outside the object/matter. Although there is an absolute difference between the two, whether there is an observer or not, the human gestalt cannot distinguish between the two – let’s talk about this in more detail.

　According to OCOT, human consciousness falls into the interior of things/matters. Usually, we believe that we observe objects/matters from the exterior space of the object/matter. If we assume that our position is an extension of the spatial concept that constitutes the interior of the object/matter, then we are still in the interior space of the object/matter. Conceptually, we cannot go outside of things/matters. Since we will never be able to see the outside of things/matters from the inside, we should not be able to see things/matters as reality from such a place. This situation, where we are under the illusion that something is right in front of us when in fact, we cannot see it, is called “delusional reflection of the incidental quality of matter” in OCOT’s information. In other words, the things/matters we see are illusions. In other words, what we see is an illusion, which means that we don’t have an accurate conceptual understanding of the space in which we see things/matters. Let me explain what I mean.

  As I have mentioned several times in 2013:The Day God Sees God, and on this blog, scientific reason tends to be uncomfortable without giving size to space. The diameter of this apple is about 10 cm, the distance between Tokyo and Hakata is approximately 1,000 km, the diameter of our galaxy is about 100,000 light-years, etc. Anyway, we love to use scales and measurements to make the state of the world we call the outside world more visible in the light of reason.

  However, as you can quickly see if you think about it, this kind of space standardized by “size” is not the world that we can see as reality. As I mentioned before, visual space is a projective space, so it is no wonder that the size of the moon is the same as the size of a dime, and in extreme cases, it is possible to put galaxies in the hole of a needle. Therefore, the images of encompassing relationships, such as encompassing and being encompassed, which are abstracted into our consciousness by the scale, have nothing to do with our visual space and are more related to our sense of touch than to our sense of sight.

  This is one of the reasons why I made JIGEN-KANSATSUSHI (Dimension-paratirons) ψ1 to ψ2 correspond to the sense of touch in the Advanced Edition (I used to think that the sense of touch is the dimension of ψ3 because it allows us to grasp the totality of things at once, but I have corrected that). The sensation of touching an object/matter feels like the creation of a membrane that envelops the internal space of the object/matter, and it turns out that the external area of the object/matter has little meaning in the sense of touches, such as touch, bulkiness, and texture. There is no exterior space of things/matters in tactile space. This gives a relatively fresh sensation to our consciousness. I think it would be suitable for everyone to reconfirm this sense of “the absence of exterior of things/matters” by actually touching things.

  Now, imagine the following situation (see the figure below).

 *Capturing space with the concept of scale is equivalent to applying the spatial concept of the inside of a matter to the outside. In such a spatial concept, no real observer is looking at the object, and the absence of an observer means that the world captured by the concept is not the world we actually see. We can think of OCOT’s saying, “human consciousness has fallen into matters. Thus, it has no direction,” as referring to this situation of our spatial awareness.

  Let’s say you have an apple with a diameter of 10cm(4in.) in front of you. Now, let’s try to inflate that apple bigger and bigger in your imagination. Then, when the diameter expands to about 5 meters(16ft), the “I” looking at the apple is now entirely inside the imaginary apple. The scale conceptualized by our tactile has enveloped me, the viewer, in it. As a concept, this is just the world inside a matter.

  As I wrote in the book, the concept of length was initially derived from the idea of internal space of matters defined between their ends, such as the width and the height of objects. In other words, our consciousness cannot go outside the object/matter with the concept of length. Applying length to the space outside of a thing/matter is a category error if there is a spatial difference between the inside and outside of a thing/matter. However, don’t we usually apply such a concept of scale to the space outside of things without hesitation, and in astrophysics, don’t we cover the entire space of the universe with such a concept? And then, we wonder, “what is going on outside the universe? It’s a mystery.” This is the wrong way to formulate the question itself.

  In the Advanced Edition of the book, I described this kind of rampant thought of scaling as “jet-black darkness devouring light from every corner.” Let your imagination run wild and try to imagine it. Imagine an unidentified, pitch-black coal tar-like space inside an object/matter, secretly seeping outside and devouring “I,” countless “others,” the earth, and even the universe. As a result of this feeding, numerical data has replaced the world. In this way, the data is now being simulated in a single object/matter called a computer, and there are even people who see the simulated virtual space as equivalent to the actual space.

Kohsen: What is virtual reality?

OCOT: It is a reversal of the evolutionary direction of human consciousness. It’s precisely the opposite of the direction human consciousness wants to evolve. It is a world of matters within matters within matters, where matters within matters (i.e., delusional reflections of the incidental qualities of matters) have become gods.

  It is an amazing expression. It’s as if the world in the mirror continues indefinitely. In fact, according to OCOT, space works as a layered structure with infinite dimensions superimposed on it. That is what Noosology considers to be a “dimension.” And there are two directions in this dimension: the direction to generate the world and the other direction to die out. Although I am still struggling with it, the purpose of Noosology is to bring that dimensional structure to the surface of human intelligence, and the conceptual power that forms that structure is what I always call the “Transformer Gestalt.” —To be continued
