THERE IS NO CONTINUITY - MEMORIES ARE NOT CONNECTED.

---------------------

The belief that memories are connected brings the ego to life. This is known as the reification of the ego. Reification means to give reality to something that is not real. - Ruben Feldman Gonzalez

If there is any kind of suffering, there is no self-knowledge - Jiddu Krishnamurti

---------------------

The fictitious entity produced by thought. that has a name and continues in time, suffers imaginary fears and sorrows. The perturbations can go as deep as the autonomous nervous system, as the META process of thought goes as deep. 

The "psychological" suffering (a product of the META process) can only happen because of an incomplete perception of reality. In a complete perception, which is Unitary Perception suffering disappears because the limited energy of thought dissolves in the unobstructed undivided energy of the void that is the Universe. What really is, what we call the Universe, is the transformation of energy.

In true life there are no objects. Really there is no division into the subject (the I) and the objects (not I).

True life (beyond time) cannot be grasped by thought, the "I", the me, knowledge.

UP is not to gain some thing but to lose every thing that is false, that is not so. Ideas, traditions, achievements, preferences, choices, efforts, control, my will.

UP is not a technique of "meditation". It is simply all that is happening right now, the contact with the true life that is happening at this instant (not in time, memory, word).

To be free is to let go everything now, which is the perception not directed towards any object or a goal (Unitary Perception). In fact it is not possible NOT to be "doing" That, not to be That. The other, the false life in the horizontal conflict in time, is only a persistent contraction of perception, hypnosis or concentration by thought - me, my will, my life, what I want, my choices, my pleasures, my fears, my possessions, my knowledge, my memories.. 

INNER STILLNESS 

When the brain is completely empty and silent, it is in contact with the Universal energy. It happens necessarily because the inner stillness is the same stillness, order and void that is the Universe.

This is known as Unitary Perception, Universal Perception, Dhjana, Zen, Yoga, etc.

A busy, occupied brain (pursuing goals, security, control, choices, pleasures, etc) can never find it, so all those have to be suspended. The brain cannot be tied in any way to created things or worldly desires. 

UP is not an experience, "consciousness" (as we know it: subject - object) or sensation that thought can find, it is the negation of seeking. It's beyond time and memory.

The purest detachment completely lets go of all created things and the self//the me/my will. It rests on nothing, wants nothing and knows nothing.

What is the essence of all things, from where everything, the tree, the bird and the man, comes from and where it returns? 

Everything, the bird, the tree and the man are only transitory changing forms. There is nothing in this world that does not change, transform. There is nothing in this world to which one can attach oneself and find security.

Predicting, pursuing goals in time and being occupied at work where the horizontal conflict of subject - object produced by thought is necessary can be balanced with resting in complete peace.

THE HOLOMOVEMENT

Separate human bodies do not possess independent, autonomous motion through "space". What people usually perceive (in the Fragmentary Perception of thought) as an individual person walking through space is only a projection of thought. What happens in reality is the unitary Wholeness in constant motion, unfolding and enfolding itself.

1. Motion as the Expression of the Whole

In classical physics, isolated objects exist independently and push against each other in space. Physicist David Bohm inverted this picture entirely: movement is primary, and "things" are secondary abstractions.

• The Illusion of Local Motion: At the fundamental level of the Implicate Order, all "things" enfold back into the total fabric of reality. At the next instant, the total fabric unfolds (re-creates) an updated expression of every "thing".

• The True Actor: What moves "from here to there" is not an isolated piece of matter, but the entire unbroken flow of reality - what Bohm called "Undivided Wholeness in Flowing Movement".

2. Free Will and "What Is"

If reality is an undivided, unbroken unitary movement, the classical concept of individual free will - an autonomous ego sitting inside a brain making independent choices - is a psychological illusion.

Bohm argued that this illusion is generated by thought:

1. The Division of Self: Thought creates an imaginary boundary, declaring "I am inside this skin, and the universe is outside" (the Horizontal Conflict).

2. The Illusion of Control: Thought then imagines that this internal "I" is an independent supervisor directing action, choosing between future possibilities.

3. The Reality of "what Is": In truth, the thought that says "I choose" is itself just another enfolded wave arising spontaneously out of the Implicate Order. There is no separate thinker behind the thought, and no separate actor behind the action.

When Bohm (and his close dialogical partner Jiddu Krishnamurti) spoke of "what is," they meant the unitary (undivided), dynamic state of reality in the present moment. Striving to goals and wanting for reality to be different than "what is" creates the imaginary Horizontal Conflict. Recognizing that "all that can be is what is" dissolves the illusion that a separate "me" could have chosen otherwise.

3. Does This Mean Reality Is Rigid Determinism?

Saying individual free will is an illusion does not mean Bohm’s Universe is a cold, mechanistic clockwork machine. The Universe is a constant dynamic transformation of energy that is always new unitary Wholeness.

• Mechanical Determinism vs. Creative Unfoldment: Classical clockwork determinism assumes separate billiard balls striking each other. Bohm rejected this description because the "objects" that thought and classical physics see as separate parts are not really separate at all.

In Unitary Perception the illusion of the Horizontal Conflict (subject - object) produced by thought disappears.

But  is there even anything unchanging that moves through "time", which continues from "moment to moment" or that is also only an approximation and an illusion produced by thought?  

IS THERE FREE WILL?

Physics: The Spectrum of Determinism

The Block Universe (Relativity): If space and time form a static four-dimensional continuum, the future already exists at fixed geometric coordinates. Under strict physical determinism, your decisions are the inevitable consequence of prior physical conditions.  

Quantum Indeterminacy: Quantum mechanics introduces fundamental probability via wave function collapse, breaking classical determinism. However, acting randomly is not the same as acting with intentional agency.  

Bohmian Holokinesis: In David Bohm's framework, individual volition is an explicate projection of the undivided whole. Choice is not an isolated ego acting on space, but the Universe unfolding a specific potential out of the Implicate Order.

Neuroscience: The Search for the "I", the "doer"

Unconscious Antecedents: Neuroscientific experiments demonstrate that neural readiness potentials build up in the brain up to seconds before a person becomes consciously aware of their decision to act.  

Biological Determinism: Thinkers like Robert Sapolsky argue that every choice is bound by prior neurobiology, genetics, and environment. The conscious feeling of willing an action is an downstream narrative constructed by the brain after the neural cascade has begun.  

If free will requires an isolated ego operating outside the causal fabric of the universe, it is an illusion. However, if free will is understood as the total Universe expressing choice through a localized center of awareness, action arises naturally from the Wholeness. When the illusion of being a solitary divided "doer" dissolves, the reality is the movement of the unitary undivided Universe.

A "decision" is a consequence of that what is. There is no "choice".

It's not only that there is a program/conditioning in the brain but the body/brain function in specific conditions and circumstances. For example one hospital is 1km away, and another 5km away. But the hospital that is further away is a modern one and I have a car. So the decision is to go to the modern one further away.

Can we call the movement of all the conditions and circumstances (which include the neuronal program/conditioning in the brain) the Universe?

David Bohm said: "All that can be is what is." There is only ONE unitary transforming movement of the Universe! It just is so, it has nothing to do with what I want, wish, desire or do ("my will :). If you don't understand the profound significance of that, you have not grasped it yet :) It is the opposite of what people usually think (the me, the I, the divided entity is who decides between this or that). It is not so! It is always the whole Universe moving! It is because there IS only the whole unitary Universe :)

But there is this persistent illusion produced by thought, called the me, the I, the ego, the horizontal conflict that says/thinks: "it is me doing this or that. It is I!" :)

 IT WAS NOT ME! :)

It is sure that there is no continuity (the "me"). It's a false movement produced by thought (and even given a name! :)

To be cont..

 "MAGIC"

They say that if you meet a ghost, you should ask the bugger for a loan :)

Does "magic" or "miracles" like a miraculous multiplication work in math? Why not?

5 x 5 = 500 for example, it would be great for our bankrupt economy. :)

We have to tell that to the minister of finance! :)

 THE "REAL" SELF.. NOT.

Some people talk about a "real, true or deep self".. observing or doing something. That is not so.

In the true movement of reality there is no saying: "I am That". In the true movement of reality there is no language, time or self (the horizontal conflict).

So in that instant when it is said: "I am That", it is only thought doing its play of identifying itself with something. So it's not true.

The truth is that when That is (the contact with the Universal energy in the brain), you are not. When you are, That (the contact with the Universal energy) is not.
