Viewing Reality

My Writings on the non entity, minds subconscious, imagination and more.

When I mention reality here I am referring to what we view as our outside reality. Everything Material outside out mind.

The Human being cannot see the full spectrum of the world. This is know to be true visually, and in hearing. But, also, man cannot grasp mentally what he would receive and intake without a buffer that has been created in the mind. Dopamine serves this purpose by "numbing" the senses. For instance, in schizophrenics, dopamine and serotonin levels are so unbalanced that they are flooded by the outside world. It is a deluge of inputs and signals into their conscientiousness. Everything can look alien because of the different "energy" objects put off from the overdose of the visual sense and subconscious mind.

Man in homeostasis is similar to a Man in a space suit. Protected by the onslaught of outside reality. Homeostasis also saves the mind from its self, so to say. The functions of the brain must work at a level the individual can handle on a day to day basis. We know, from the ingestion of LSD, that one can take in information at a much faster rate then when not under it's influence. Tho, this does not work well in the long term, as it takes too high a toll on the mind and body. So, the automation of the body must keep chemical equilibrium. The schizophrenic lacks this balance becoming overwhelmed. Man, also, can be overwhelmed by a society, which in it's self is made up of the insane, and he simply rejects it. By rejecting it, he is looked upon by the outside as mentally unstable. He may be, or he may not be. But, the point is, society's projections of insanity onto him are what drove his mind to this point.

Just a Theory

  What is real, and what is not real can only be experienced by the individual. A person cannot re-create reality, in whatever medium, for another individual. It would, then, not be reality, but an attempt to resemble reality from that person's perspective. Each mind is it's own universe, and there exists no other universe, but the one formed in that mind.This, to me, can be considered Logos. This, possibly, is the true Mind of Hermetic Tradition. The Mind/Logos has the ability to reflect the world back onto itself and form this "sphere" of consciousness. As above, so it is below. The great Dragon/Serpent eating it's tail can be considered Logos when looking at it in this manner. Could It be "God",Thoth, Hermes, or the first Movement? Does not, in the human reality, the initial movement comes when the Individual's mind is able to define, or come to a realization that movement "is" possible or happening? Logos, Mind, Reason, The Organizer, The Initial  Movement that brings forth reality could all be tied to the Individual reality seen from inside man.

The sense of sight gives us a glimpse into the outside world by capturing instances of reality through time.  Once that moment in time passes, the "captured image" is then diffused into the mind's sub conscience, or short term / long term memory centers. The data that has been internalized is then put back into the conscience and re formed by imagination into a non entity that depicts, for example, an apple, that was viewed. Mixed with the information from the sense of sight, is also, past experiences with the color, shape, representation, form, ext. of the apple. For instance, if you were to look at the apple and then close your eyes, you will never see the apple as it exactly was. You will create an interpretation of that apple based on your subconscious definition of what an apple is and the experiences you have had with apples and their attributes. All this effects the development of the final non entity, which will exist only as long as the mind is able to keep it in form, in the imagination.
