human genetic engineering p. 223 What is creating evolutionary pressure if we are no longer preoccupied with the traditional issues of survival and species propagation? We have become aware enough and capable enough that self-improvement is now our main goal. Most importantly, that means spiritual evolution, or equivalently, the improvement of the quality of our consciousness. Selfimprovement could also mean the development of science and application of technology that might eventually result in spindly arms and legs, or merely developing a more civilized civilization. It could also mean something as quick and direct as human genetic engineering.
change p. 226 Change one thing and everything is affected, including the external and internal environments of the individual entities that make up the system. Change is constant . and often chaotic.
diversity p. 226 Thus, with fewer constraints, evolution delivers more diversity because there is always someplace to go.
evolutionary potential p. 226 However, keep in mind that evolutionary potential is dynamic.
survival p. 226 Survival and propagation represent the external pressures or constraints of a biological environment.
external pressures p. 226 Survival and propagation represent the external pressures or constraints of a biological environment.
propagation p. 226 Survival and propagation represent the external pressures or constraints of a biological environment.
profitability p. 227 Optimal profitability, as it is constrained and prodded by internal and external environments, defines evolutionary success.
evolutionary success p. 227 Optimal profitability, as it is constrained and prodded by internal and external environments, defines evolutionary success.
immortal p. 227 Because survival and propagation do not constrain our timeless, immortal, space-less, apparently infinite AUO, it would seem to be free to pursue every possibility open to it. If you happen to be apparently infinite, spatially unrestrained, timeless, immortal, multi-dimensional, and aware, you have tremendous potentiality.
complexity p. 228 For now it is enough to understand that through increased complexity in relation to itself, AUO escapes atrophy and puts its limited energy (ability to modify itself, to change its internal environment) to the most profitable use - continually redefining and improving its overall capacity, quality, and awareness.
self-improvement p. 229 Survival and procreation are giving way to self- improvement as the defining evolutionary constraint for human-kind.
evolutionary profitability p. 230 For now it is enough to know that the capacity and capability to effectively self-organize toward some purpose (evolutionary profitability) is critical to forming and maintaining aware consciousness and all life as we know it.
civilization p. 234 Civilization is about ordered patterns defined by profitability and constraints - so is everything else, including consciousness.
Spiritual Growth p. 235
TBC p. 235 The Big Computer is just that - memory, processing, rules, operations, and content. It is not necessarily The Big Brain as we think of it in biological (discrete physical organ) terms. At this point, it is more of a memory- intensive computationally based process that provides improved organization to a relatively dim cellular mind. Think of TBC as a digital computational functionality (based upon discrete reality cells) that naturally evolved to improve organization, and thus reduce entropy, within the energy form we call AUO.
dimension p. 236 We now know almost enough to pull together a better understanding of the word "dimension."We have said the larger reality is a multidimensional reality and that PMR and NPMR represent two of those dimensions - but what does that mean?
dimensionality p. 236 What is this dimension thing - If it is not time and not geometric, what is left? Forget about all the sci-fi and fantasy movies you have seen, the dimensionality of reality does not function as the screenwriters for Twilight Zone or the X-Files would have you believe. However, it is true that most realities simultaneously exist within their own dimension and as a subset of a larger reality, and that travel between dimensions is possible - indeed, it is relatively easy once you know how.
the larger reality p. 236 Searching for a fourth and higher dimensions in terms of geometry is also not particularly helpful to the understanding of the larger reality. Reality is not fundamentally geometric. We think it must be geometric because our little picture view is centered in 3D geometric reality and we naturally tend to expand upon what we know.
little picture p. 236 Searching for a fourth and higher dimensions in terms of geometry is also not particularly helpful to the understanding of the larger reality. Reality is not fundamentally geometric. We think it must be geometric because our little picture view is centered in 3D geometric reality and we naturally tend to expand upon what we know.
awareness p. 242 The more awareness and complexity an individual entity or system creates through evolution, the more potential states and possibilities there are to explore.
thoughts p. 242 Consider the speed of your thoughts, the space between consecutive or adjacent ideas, or the patterns of thought in your skeptically open mind. Think about multiple, simultaneous, or regularly occurring thoughts and about having thoughts simultaneously exist in the foreground and background of your mind. Great big thoughts and little tiny thoughts are not spatially large or small. We must guard against imposing our extremely limited 3D conceptual patterns (as well as our sense of time and causality) on AUO.
complexity p. 242 The more awareness and complexity an individual entity or system creates through evolution, the more potential states and possibilities there are to explore.
learning p. 243 For example, education and learning is a bodiless process that obviously accelerates.
"One Source" p. 250 However the consciousness pie is divided up, however many realities may be running as simulations or as sub-sets of larger simulations, all are connected through (and are a part of) the One Source: AUO consciousness.
evolutionary profitability p. 257 We will show that space-time cells must be uniform in form, function, and makeup in order to produce the underlying structure for a simple isotropic experience-space (reality) that can be used to improve AUM's evolutionary profitability.
digital simulations p. 257 Digital simulations, like those run on our mainframes or within TBC, generally model what appear to be analog events at the macro level.
space-time p. 257 Space-time subsequently becomes the fundamental medium for a uniquely dimensioned sub- reality or virtual reality within the larger consciousness system.
duality p. 259 Recall that each reality cell exists as a duality, a condition relative to some different condition, each condition existing only in relation to the other.
reality cell p. 259 Recall that each reality cell exists as a duality, a condition relative to some different condition, each condition existing only in relation to the other.
reality cell p. 262 It is ticking in mind-space, within an aware consciousness that can differentiate between this way and that way, flip-flopping atoms of consciousness called reality cells whose state can be manipulated at will and with regularity.
time p. 262 Our time, measured in seconds - fractions of the periodic revolutions of the heavenly bodies or more recently some number of atomic oscillations - is a shadow of Fundamental Time; it is our sensory perception of a specific constrained and limited implementation of the more fundamental time defined by AUM-consciousness.
granularity p. 264 The resolution of the "graphics" (scene generation) defining the "3D pixel size" of the PMR virtual reality, i.e., a measure of the granularity of space -- a 3D quantum of PMR space we have named DELTA-v.
Time or Frequency? Or both? p. 265 Time, or equivalently, frequency is a fundamental attribute of AUM, whereas the notion of space is derived from time specifying a constant velocity of propagation of information.
Cells p. 266 Reality cells, memory cells, binary cells - everything seems to come down to cells. Cells are discrete units of state-specific relational content, and represent both information and organizational substance (not necessarily physical matter). Awareness, form, function, content, and purpose all flow from the possible interactions of reality cells - the basic building blocks of aware consciousness.
reality cell p. 266 Awareness, form, function, content, and purpose all flow from the possible interactions of reality cells - the basic building blocks of aware consciousness.
reality p. 266 The reality in which we interact with each other is a virtual classroom or learning lab designed to help us reduce our individual entropy and grow the quality of our consciousness. As consciousness, that is what we do; that is how evolution challenges us.
granularity p. 266 All cellular and digital creations exhibit granularity at some level of detail.
dimension p. 269 There are other space-time parts (or space-time dimensions) of AUM corresponding to the other PMRs (mentioned in Chapter 4, Book 3).
space-time p. 271 Equivalently, one could say that space-time is a construct of consciousness. Some may be tempted to say that space-time is constructed of consciousness, but that statement is likely to spread more confusion than illumination.
intelligence p. 271 The proliferation of reality cells and the interaction between reality cells creates complexity and a greater potential for self-organization that eventually leads to a more comprehensive lower entropy self-awareness that in turn leads to intelligence, values, personality and purpose.
power p. 271 In scientific terms, a lower entropy consciousness system has more power - more energy available to do work - a higher, more useful level of organization.
organization p. 271 In scientific terms, a lower entropy consciousness system has more power - more energy available to do work - a higher, more useful level of organization.
usable energy p. 271 In scientific terms, a lower entropy consciousness system has more power - more energy available to do work - a higher, more useful level of organization. In common terms, a lower entropy digital system commands more usable energy (more profitable organization) and, therefore, becomes capable of creating greater and more profitable configurations of itself.
AUO p. 271 Primordial AUO is a relatively simple, uniform, high entropy, energy-form that is the basic foundation of consciousness.
Free will p. 272
physical experience p. 272 Physical experience is generated when the perception of an individuated consciousness (sentient being) is constrained to follow the space-time rule-set.
free will choice p. 272 Imagine a specialized space-time virtual reality trainer (operating within a subset of digital calculation-space called a dimension) that is constrained by the space-time rule-set to provide a causally consistent operational experience that enables an individuated consciousness to evolve to lower entropy states by exercising its intent through free will choice.
sentient p. 273 "Sentient" is defined by Microsoft Bookshelf 2000 as "having sense perception; conscious." If we generalize the obvious carbon-based life-forms bias, the definition becomes: having perception, conscious. We might expand this to include: having the ability to interact with, or perceive itself or its environment; having awareness. Terms like "conscious awareness" and "aware consciousness" may seem redundant but using the words "conscious" and "awareness" together emphasizes the fundamental connectedness of both concepts. Do you think that a clam is sentient? Sure, if it pulls in its foot and slams it shell shut to protect itself when you poke it. If it is interactive, it must be aware and therefore sentient.
consciousness quality p. 274 Your consciousness quality rises and falls based upon the intent that animates your everyday interactions.
intent p. 274 Your consciousness quality rises and falls based upon the intent that animates your everyday interactions.
little picture science p. 281 Our contemporary objective knowledge-base sets the limits on what we can collectively imagine, much less comprehend, and it is unlikely that our little picture science can ever hypothesize more than a minute fraction of the possibilities of creation.
conscious awareness p. 284 The fundamental evolutionary process seems to work everywhere - life or conscious awareness or individuated sub-systems of consciousness are merely the result of a purposeful, self- interacting complex system with memory, evolving its way through a large and diverse set of environmentally constrained possibilities.
little picture thinking p. 284 The belief that any life-forms that might exist "out there" must be similar to the lifeforms of earth is a product of little picture thinking.
time p. 284 Time is the same way. From the macro view of our everyday experience, time appears to be continuous.
granularity p. 284 You do not notice the granularity in a slab of steel or a pane of glass unless you can measure distances down to the size of an atom or molecule. The glass, steel, or wood tabletop you set your drink on appears to be solid and continuous although we know it is made up of discrete tiny particles with vast regions of empty space between them - the granularity is imperceptible from the macro view.
Big Truth p. 287 That is the nature of Big Truth. It is either trivially obvious or totally opaque.
space-time p. 295 It is not that we are separate from space-time and live within it, as we live in a house but are not part of the house. We experience space-time as our minds interpret and process the limited perceptions gathered by our senses. Contrary to popular belief, space-time is not a physical construct that we physical beings live within, but rather the result of a ruleset that defines the experiential virtual reality that we perceive.
IUOC p. 296 An individual mind (an individuated unit of consciousness) engaged in an interactive multi-player virtual reality must experience, act, and interact within the bounds prescribed by the causal rule-set that defines that particular reality.
physical reality p. 296 I know that this is confusing, but by the end of Section 4, you will have no trouble understanding that the physical reality you physically experience is merely the experience our consciousness interprets as physical reality. If your sensed physical reality and what your consciousness interprets as physical reality seem the same to you, it is because your culture has convinced you that consciousness is a derivative of the physical body. The experience that our senses interpret as physical reality leads to the conclusion that physical reality is an external reality that our body interacts with (reality is defined by our physical interaction with it). On the other hand, the experience that our consciousness interprets as physical reality leads to the conclusion that physical reality is an internal reality created by the perceptions of consciousness - a virtual physical existence that is defined by our mind's interaction with the space-time rule-set.
virtual reality p. 296 Your physical reality is an interpreted virtual reality that only appears physical.
physical body p. 296 If your sensed physical reality and what your consciousness interprets as physical reality seem the same to you, it is because your culture has convinced you that consciousness is a derivative of the physical body.
space-time p. 297 Space-time is the virtual medium through which the rules of engagement (constraints that define our interactive experience with other "players") are applied.
individual existence p. 297 Our individual existence, like the hand puppets, is the result of constraints defining a dimensional variation in consciousness that individuates a unique entity with free will.
thoughts p. 297 Can one idea (thought-thing) be manifested through (give birth to) another? Sure. Why not? In AUM's world of digital consciousness energy, thoughts (discrete packets of organized content) are real things - the only real things - and AUM can birth (think up or organize) as many as it wants to.
All That Is p. 30 My Big TOE describes, as any Big TOE must, the basic oneness, continuity, and connectedness of All That Is.
pain p. 307 All pain does not come from making the wrong choices. Only self-inflicted (internally caused) pain, which makes up the bulk of our daily ration of pain and suffering, has wrong choices at its fundamental source
IUOC p. 308 One can learn from either right or wrong choices. PMR is designed to serve as a learning lab - a place where units of individuated consciousness (sometimes referred to as beings, entities, or souls) can grow up (improve their quality) by exercising their free will intent within a virtual system of direct interactive experience and feedback.
right and wrong p. 308 Right and wrong in the social or cultural sense is relative and customary - often a diluted and distorted shadow of absolute right and wrong. Absolute right and wrong are operationally defined to optimize the growth (evolution) of the quality of our consciousness, or equivalently, our spiritual development. "Right" intents and choices help us improve the quality of our being, whereas "wrong" intents and choices stimulate no positive growth and may cause us to lose some previously earned quality. Absolute right and wrong (intents, motivations, choices, and actions) are defined and differentiated by the effect they have on the average entropy of the system.
death p. 311 Your physical death initiates a process that eventually creates a new maze for you to explore - your learning is cumulative. You are a participant in, as well as a driver of, the consciousness cycle.
motivation p. 316 Motivation, intent, action, and feedback are all interconnected. Right motivation and right intent are the only sure path to right action, which produces the right feedback to encourage continued right growth and learning.
intent p. 316 Motivation, intent, action, and feedback are all interconnected. Right motivation and right intent are the only sure path to right action, which produces the right feedback to encourage continued right growth and learning.
personal quality p. 316 You gain personal quality the same way you gain strength and endurance or learn to play the piano - by dedication and continual effort applied over a significant period of time.
bootstrapping p. 316 We call this self-teaching incremental self- improvement process "bootstrapping" - you may employ a coach to improve technique and clarify issues, but only you can accomplish self- improvement.
pain p. 318 Unfortunately, our egos are so good at blaming others that even after great suffering we often miss the point that our pain is primarily self- inflicted and trying to tell us something about what we are doing wrong.
thought-forms p. 328 Though you might think that the beings and critters in NPMR are merely thought-forms, whereas the beings and critters in PMR are real life-forms, I will demonstrate in Section 4 that the difference is only apparent - that the distinction between physical and nonphysical is relative to an observer's perspective. The observer's perspective is a function of the constraints and rule-sets that define his interaction with, and perception of, his local virtual reality. You will see that the so-called real lifeforms in PMR are actually thought-forms within AUM as well.
lifeforms p. 328 Though you might think that the beings and critters in NPMR are merely thought-forms, whereas the beings and critters in PMR are real life-forms, I will demonstrate in Section 4 that the difference is only apparent - that the distinction between physical and nonphysical is relative to an observer's perspective. The observer's perspective is a function of the constraints and rule-sets that define his interaction with, and perception of, his local virtual reality. You will see that the so-called real lifeforms in PMR are actually thought-forms within AUM as well.
learning p. 329 These individuated consciousness experience-bumps must be selfmodifying. They must be capable of learning - of self- improvement through multiple evaluative feedback loops. Because these bump-beings are very limited, they must be designed to accumulate knowledge and evolutionary progress by being recycled again and again through many challenging interactions until the FWAU self-destructs or eventually ripens for harvesting.
physical body p. 329 The being we call ourselves (lump in the AUM-sheet) is not dependent on our physical body - it is the other way around. Physical bodies are relatively dense space-time constrained experience-bumps on the lumps in the sheet. These self-perpetuating, low maintenance, biological-matter experience-bumps come with a sensor platform called a "body" to provide experience and immediate feedback, a low-end Free Will Awareness Unit (FWAU), and a lifetime guarantee.
Free Will Awareness Unit p. 329 These self-perpetuating, low maintenance, biological-matter experience-bumps come with a sensor platform called a "body" to provide experience and immediate feedback, a low-end Free Will Awareness Unit (FWAU), and a lifetime guarantee.
local reality? Consciousness evolution? p. 329 Our local reality and everything in it is a product of consciousness evolution.
arrogance p. 330 The proclivity to reinterpret our differences as obvious superiority represents little picture arrogance.
diversity p. 330 Every critter, including you, has its point and its place; diversity is a natural artifact of evolution when there are few constraints.
Free Will Awareness Unit? Soul? Spirit? p. 330 A few people who are unfamiliar with the nomenclature on AUM's design drawings call the FWAU a "soul," "spirit," or simply the "nonphysical component."
thought-forms p. 331 Man, and other beings both physical and nonphysical (as well as all the extant objects found here, there, and everywhere), may be described loosely as thought-forms created within consciousness. It should not be too surprising that within AUM, or in mind-space, the intent, or will of the mind becomes the fundamental or natural force. You will soon see (in the next section) that thought-forms are as real as rocks, and that every real thing is a manifestation of consciousness regardless of how dimly it might reflect that seminal awareness - yes, minerals included.
Spiritual Growth p. 332 Spiritual growth (developing a higher-quality, lower-entropy consciousness) provides for more brightness, capability, effective organization, and more energy to do work; in other words, more personal power.
IUOC p. 334 From the PMR view, consciousness is the nonphysical energy of a self-organizing digital system - it is the energy of profitable organization. The soul, as an individuated unit of consciousness, is a subset of the larger consciousness, a constrained portion of nonphysical energy that contains enough memory and processing capability to support self-optimization through profitable intentional choice or free will.
reality wide web p. 334 It would seem natural, because we are part and parcel of AUM's being, that our minds are chips off the old block so to speak and thus able to communicate over the Reality Wide Web (the RWW constitutes the master network of all consciousness) using individual consciousness intent protocol:
icip://RWW.Individuated-consciousness.NPMR.
intuition p. 336 At a deep level, your intuition is awash in molten paranormal information. It is connected directly to the One Source and is on-line at the RWW probable realities home page.
precognition p. 337 Only if your intuition finds a way to vent its content to the surface will you experience a psi event such as precognition - and then only if you are paying attention.
Physics p. 35 Contemporary physics is shown to be a special case of a more general set of basic principles.
choice p. 350 Choices made in pursuit of getting what we want produce occasional material success, anxiety, stress, pain, frustration, emptiness, insecurity, and unhappiness while choices made to express unconditional love produce all types of success, peace, tranquility, confidence, satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness, and joy.
peace p. 350 Choices made in pursuit of getting what we want produce occasional material success, anxiety, stress, pain, frustration, emptiness, insecurity, and unhappiness while choices made to express unconditional love produce all types of success, peace, tranquility, confidence, satisfaction, fulfillment, happiness, and joy.
reducing entropy p. 355 These are a few of the things that will make some future computers more profitable to themselves and thus better able to accomplish their external task-oriented goals as well as better able to implement their internal (personal) goal of reducing entropy (becoming better organized as well as more effective and efficient).
humility p. 367 To complete the picture of ego, as defined above, you must be aware of its opposites: humility and compassion. Humility allows for confidence, certainty, self-assuredness, purpose, and passion while carrying an underlying implication of an awareness and recognition of limitations. The limitations of which humility is aware can originate inside or outside the individual (a wholly artificial distinction, but one that will aid the clarity of the explanation).
balance p. 374 This is not a control issue; control does not create balance, but only the appearance of balance. A balanced individual is a conscious part of the unified larger reality, a productive citizen of the larger consciousness ecosystem, and is aware of being interconnected to everything. External balance (being in balance with everything external to the individual) is an immediate and automatic consequence of internal balance. Internal balance precedes and enables external balance - it does not work the other way around. Trying hard to appear as if you are balanced does little to produce real balance - truth does not flow from fantasy. The Big Picture can not be derived from the little picture.
love p. 374 When you are animated by love, you are not driven by fear, ego, desire, or need. There is no forcing function driving your choices. Love is directed outward. With love, you are at peace, solid, still, fearless, and centered.
control p. 375 Control, driven by desire and need, is a desperate and self-limiting attempt by the disenfranchised effete to appear powerful. Control is, and always has been, a poor substitute for love.
God, god p. 379 Because some will be forced by habit to project delusion into the mind of AUM, let's look at the historical record. Historical, mythical and theological reports of Greek, Jewish, Roman, Christian, and Muslim gods being egotistical (vengeful, jealous, angry, demanding, pouty, upset, selfimportant, and violent - all traits of a large dysfunctional ego) are most likely an artifact of God being described by men, in the image of men, to satisfy the needs and purposes of men. In other words, the common description (among many of the world's popular religions) of an egotistical (delusional) god is most likely the result of men projecting their own egotism upon their concept of god (god made in the image of man) and offers no credible evidence (guilty by vague association) against the mental and spiritual health of AUM.
uncertainty p. 385 Outside (external to PMR) meddling, applied to the evolutionary process taking place within the PMR learning lab, adds uncertainty to the process and usually produces unnatural results that cannot be maintained without further meddling.
experience packet p. 395 What we do with the opportunity to evolve our consciousness is entirely up to us. It is our free will, our self-interaction, and our interaction with others that creates the possibility of learning, which in turn creates our potential for growth. Because of our relatively high entropy, we are slow learners; consequently, our cycles of learning and growth are designed to accumulate results over multiple experience packets.

growth potential? Potential for growth? p. 395 What we do with the opportunity to evolve our consciousness is entirely up to us. It is our free will, our self-interaction, and our interaction with others that creates the possibility of learning, which in turn creates our potential for growth. Because of our relatively high entropy, we are slow learners; consequently, our cycles of learning and growth are designed to accumulate results over multiple experience packets.
death p. 399 This is how the fundamental-consciousnessenergy- ecosystem evolves, lowers its entropy, and avoids stagnation, regression (increasing entropy), and dissolution (death).
evolutionary success p. 407 Eating that metaphorical apple from the tree of knowledge carried with it the potential for expanded evolutionary success or failure. Self-awareness and the knowledge that comes with it was the beginning of AUM's Great Experiment and our Great Struggle - the beginning of our employment as an entropy transfer media within the consciousness cycle - employed as lab rats, high entropy to low entropy consciousness transmuting bacteria, expressions of art, participants in scientific enquiry, stand-up comedians, or all of the above.
uncertainty p. 413 the uncertainty (degree of randomness)
Free will p. 415 Free will - the ability to make choices in order to effect self-modification in the pursuit of evolutionary profitability - is part of the definition of consciousness itself. Free will is not an outside condition that must be applied to consciousness, it is fundamental to the existence of consciousness. Free will is a necessary attribute of successfully evolving consciousness. Without free will, a profitable consciousness system is impossible.
evolutionary success p. 424 The rules of the game of evolutionary success define it into existence and maintain its integrity.
digital simulations p. 424 With respect to big PMR-based digital simulations (war games or meteorological modeling, for example), the people who build and use these simulations do not know how the results are going to turn out; if they did, there would be no need to develop or run the computer models.
duality p. 426 The illusion of determinism is the illusion that this rule-set represents all reality and not merely the local calculation space, reality, or dimension of existence we call PMR.
PUP p. 429 The psi uncertainty principle is the mechanism for maintaining that particular growth-optimizing balance.
future p. 443 The future is not a done deal.
PUP p. 444 However, we will see below that the psi uncertainty principle requires that problems that are physically verified (known malignant tumor) must have either a physically verifiable physical solution or a physically unverifiable nonphysical solution.
uncertainty p. 449 The entanglement (interaction) of uncertainty with the measurement of psi effects leads to what I descriptively call the psi uncertainty principle - where the uncertainty surrounding an event allows the event a larger selection of probable outcomes that may be more easily altered by the application of a focused (low noise - small ego) mind with a clear intent.

little picture science p. 483 Along the way, we will demonstrate that PMR physics (our hard-headed little picture science)
bootstrapping p. 495 If done internally, this bootstrapping (self-elevating, self-teaching, or self-improving) process may be referred to as artificial intelligence (AI), a form of self-modification (learning) based on data collected from previous experience.

AI Guy p. 495
evolutionary profitability p. 526 Logically, AUM could achieve the greatest rate of evolutionary profitability by running many experiments in parallel. Multiple simultaneous experiments would most quickly and effectively evolve the constraints (player definition, processing power, memory, data collection, and purpose as reflected by the conditionals within each competing algorithmic rule-set) leading to the highest evolutionary rates of return and greatest overall profits.
physical body p. 533 A physical computer, like your physical body, will never be conscious: it supports consciousness and is a container of consciousness within the PMR space-time reality dimension.
AI Guy p. 534 AI Guy is our creation, a derivative of our consciousness and as such will eventually evolve into a life-form of various types and subspecies, all derivative of, and dependent upon, the physical and nonphysical sources of its being as are we.
immortal p. 534 We, as individuated consciousness, are truly immortal unless the bits that represent us become disorganized beyond repair, irredeemably negative, or are deleted from memory.
telepathy p. 545 Information transfer by discrete thought packets can, in one of its forms, be called telepathy.
telepathy p. 546 Think of telepathy as adding data to (organizing bits within) someone else's calculation space.
Altered State p. 55 There were those things that were non-measurable yet functionally operational (including my meditation state, which is properly defined as an altered state of consciousness) that fell into the category of subjective experience with objective results.
mystic? paranormal? p. 551 As we pointed out in Section 2 (Chapter 20, Book 1), the words "mystic" and "paranormal" have meaning only in relation to the normal level of ignorance within PMR.
thought-forms p. 558 NPMRN continues to flourish and evolve an immense selection of lifeforms outside the various space-time PMRk. The beings of NPMRN might be thought of (by the residents of PMR) as bounded, discrete thought forms.
lifeforms p. 558 NPMRN continues to flourish and evolve an immense selection of lifeforms outside the various space-time PMRk. The beings of NPMRN might be thought of (by the residents of PMR) as bounded, discrete thought forms.
reality wide web p. 559 Whereas our cute little space-time bodies are genetically determined, cast in mass and restrained to contiguous 3D motion, their bodies are energetically and functionally determined, cast into habituated forms, and can travel as information packets on the Reality Wide Web (RWW) network (if they know how).
daydreams p. 56 Were daydreams (self-directed imagination or purposeful visual imagery) functional? Of course! Why had I not noticed that before? People have been preparing themselves mentally for all sorts of things since the beginning of time.
immortal p. 562 All beings were, like AUM and all consciousness, more or less immortal. Digital beings, if not deleted or damaged, last as long as the computer (AUM). From your point of view, that is immortal with a capital "I". Yes, my friend, you as an individuated consciousness are essentially immortal - unless you screw up and get zapped by the Big Cheese or mugged by some tough guy or mean-spirited anti- rat.
mortality p. 562 The apparent mortality of your virtual physical body is simply a device to facilitate your learning; local mortality is irrelevant to the apparently endless continuation of your digital awareness.
logical progression(s) p. 564 The point is: We started with AUO - plain dim consciousness (digital potential energy) and ended up with our beloved PMR by following a reasonable and logical progression that was defined by the interaction of our two basic assumptions.
consciousness p. 570 Back in the real world of fundamental existence, consciousness is the one universal reality.
experience packet p. 581
uncertainty p. 588 In these well known and often repeated experiments, the statistical nature of the data resides in the future as a probability distribution that contains some uncertainty.
future p. 588 In these well known and often repeated experiments, the statistical nature of the data resides in the future as a probability distribution that contains some uncertainty.
law of attraction p. 589 Thus follows an explanation for "backwards causality", the biasing of random events, unnatural or consistent luck, the placebo effect, mental healing, the power of positive thinking, the power of prayer, the so-called "law of attraction" and many other mind-matter interactions.

reality wide web p. 655 All consciousness in NPMRN is "netted." It is as though each entity in NPMRN has a unique URL (Uniform Resource Locator or web address) in a gigantic, but finite, Reality Wide Web (RWW).
experience p. 655 Experience, carefully filtered by a scientific method (repeatable evidential data collection) that sorts external signal from internal noise, leads to the knowledge that forms the basis for a larger set of productive and meaningful possible intents.
intuition p. 656 People in PMR who are unaware (or mostly unaware) within NPMR, can use and experience this net if they are connected strongly enough (large enough signal-to-noise) and with enough clear intent (interest) to produce a crosstalk or bleedthrough into their consciousness (typically perceived as intuition or precognitive dreams).
precognition p. 656 People in PMR who are unaware (or mostly unaware) within NPMR, can use and experience this net if they are connected strongly enough (large enough signal-to-noise) and with enough clear intent (interest) to produce a crosstalk or bleedthrough into their consciousness (typically perceived as intuition or precognitive dreams).
telepathy p. 656 Individual communications between sentient entities are telepathic. Additionally, within a given PMR, communication using sensory data (such as sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste) typically functions in parallel with telepathy to some degree.
remote viewing p. 66 "What exactly is remote viewing?" I asked. "Obtaining information paranormally by going somewhere in the outof- body state to collect the target information - without taking your body along, as it were."
space-time p. 662 He did not grasp the digital nature of reality - that space and time are quantized - and that space-time itself was only a local phenomenon, a virtual little picture reality dependent upon a more fundamental digital energy field called consciousness.
time p. 665 Awareness cannot grow, progress, learn, or evolve past a very rudimentary level without the organizing influence of time.
AUM p. 667 We use the terms AUM, EBC, and TBC to express differing levels of digital functionality, however, at the root, they are not separate parts. Imagine a single evolving digital system serving multiple functions simultaneously.
EBC p. 667 We use the terms AUM, EBC, and TBC to express differing levels of digital functionality, however, at the root, they are not separate parts. Imagine a single evolving digital system serving multiple functions simultaneously.
TBC p. 667 We use the terms AUM, EBC, and TBC to express differing levels of digital functionality, however, at the root, they are not separate parts. Imagine a single evolving digital system serving multiple functions simultaneously.
reality state vector p. 674 I have used the term reality state vector ("reality state," or simply "state" for short) to mean the total description or specification of the state of existing choices, things, and energy that defines OS at the end of a DELTA-t. Later I will define more precisely what a reality state vector is (Topic 9 below) and describe the process that generates it (Chapters 8 through 10 of this book), but first there are a few more basic concepts to be introduced.
uncertainty p. 696 Consider the natural uncertainty and small random components modeled within the digital consciousness system as the lubricant that helps make the system work.
energy p. 727 Energy (the ability to rearrange bits and affect organization, and thus content, within a system).
Alpha Centauri p. 727 Alpha Centauri (a star 4.4 light-years away from the earth)
teleportation p. 728 Teleportation is only a matter of switching your consciousness to a different energy packet exchange interface (see Chapter 32, Book 2)
Nonphysical? Visualization? Meditation State? p. 77 Meanwhile, while Dennis and I were working in and on the lab, Bob was leading us and teaching us to experience and explore the nonphysical. He would first lead us into a deep relaxation state, then using visualization we would begin to focus our thoughts, center our attention - let go of our bodies and the environment. These exercises produced various states of consciousness that were similar to the meditation state I had learned to achieve with TM.
little picture science p. 786 Physicists still have a lot to learn about the space-time rule-set that defines our little picture virtual physical reality. Because that rule-set defines a digital virtual simulation within a larger digital reality, little TOEs may need to embrace some of the digital magic we have found so entertaining at the movies and so useful on our desktops. Even so, little picture science and applied mathematics (little picture logic) can never lead directly to a Big TOE.

human genetic engineering p. 806 "The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one." ALBERT EINSTEIN Little did he know that mankind would devise several additional ways to destroy life on our planet within a few decades. Given this destructive capacity, future human genetic engineering, psychotropic pharmaceuticals, and the coming Information Age, it has never been more important for mankind to understand the Big Picture before it prematurely terminates this portion of The Great Experiment in Consciousness.
intent p. 92 Conscious intent is everything - space and time are not fundamental.
