  Preface

  What the dead had no speech for, when

  living, they can tell you, being dead:

  The communication of the dead is tongued

  with fire beyond the language of the living.

  - T.S. Eliot1

  What is conscious existence? As humans experience

  it, what is its significance to them? And does it have a

  consequence?

  These questions are not only at the core of human

  introspection, but dictate both individual and group

  beliefs concerning reality. Such beliefs in turn both

  encourage and constrain behavior. If, for instance, you

  regard your incarnated physical life as the complete

  extent of your existence, you will tend to conduct yourself

  much differently than an immortal being only

  temporarily linked to a physical body.

  Closely related to this problem is the question of

  purpose: Do humans have one, and if so, whence comes

  1 MindStar was written by a dead man, in that I came extremely close

  to physical death from cancer during 2015. That lent a special

  motivation and urgency to creating this book, in disregard of pain

  and exhaustion, in order to make its contents available to suitable

  readers within this physical environment. Had it been written by a

  living man, it might not have been tongued with fire.

  it? Assumptions concerning this also channel thoughts,

  statements, and actions of both individuals and groups.

  Indeed so fundamental are these two issues that all

  else can be seen as mere footnotes to them. Physical

  science focuses on discovering and deciphering the

  machinery of the Objective Universe (OU), and takes

  great pride in its [insistently-claimed] objectivity in doing

  so. And yet all such knowledge of external mechanisms is,

  in the final analysis, pointless unless related and relevant

  to conscious experience of it. If someone is not there to

  apprehend and appreciate it, the entire OU can emerge,

  exist, and exmerge as mere happenstance. If it is not of

  interest to some perspective consciousness, it is irrelevant

  whether it exists or not. [My efforts to write this book are

  wasted, and the book itself inconsequential unless you

  read, understand, and apply it.]

  My companion book MindWar includes an

  examination of what I term “thought architecture”.

  Humans are normally both ignorant of and unconcerned

  with how their thoughts originate and are structured.

  They “just think”, and that is all there is to it.

  But that is not all there is to it. The interface between

  the consciousness (alternately “the mind”) and the

  physical senses (body mechanisms receiving disturbances

  from and changes within the OU) is the brain: an

  electromagnetic/chemical machine which processes raw

  sensory inputs into either predetermined/recognized

  patterns or new experiences modifying existing patterns

  or forming the bases of new ones. Overwhelmingly -

  about 95% of the time - this is a passive process occurring

  in the subconscious. 2

  An additional 5% rises to the attention of

  consciousness to require active consideration:

  2 Cf. Leonard Mlodinow, Ph.D., Subliminal: How Your Unconscious

  Mind Rules Your Behavior (New York: Pantheon, 2012).

  - 17 -

  algorithmic thought. This results in deliberate

  decision-making, and also in assignment of the input to

  an existing or new pattern into which it did not fit

  automatically/subconsciously.

  MindWar is a manual for practical applications in the

  OU, so concentrates on the identification and control of

  pattern and algorithmic thought. It is thus a book about,

  and a concept of [OU] science.

  There is, however, a third element of thought

  architecture, only briefly mentioned in MindWar for the

  sake of thoroughness: conceptual thought. Also called

  “creative” or “divine”, this identifies thinking which is not

  the product of OU externalities and the brain’s sorting,

  recognizing, and classifying mechanisms. It comes into

  existence in pure uniqueness: what Plato termed nœsis,

  or “enlightened intuition”. It is not a construct of the OU;

  rather it generates its own “subjective” universe (SU). As

  each such thought is discrete, an individual experiencing

 
such will apprehend consequently numerous/unique

  SUs, all of which, in varying degrees of arbitrary

  importance, coalesce into a comprehensive SU (CSU).

  In addition to serving as the “mirror” of the

  individual’s existence and unique identity, the CSU also

  functions as an inexorable and inescapable filter through

  which interactions with the OU must pass. If input from

  the OU is not intelligible to the CSU, it is simply

  disregarded [if it is detected at all] as “noise”. 3

  Humans are most commonly familiar with this

  phenomenon as “not wanting to hear” or “tuning out”

  3 The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) ranges from a theoretical

  “long wave” the length of the OU to short, high-frequency waves a

  fraction of the size of an atom. While the extremes of the EMS are

  theoretically infinite, for practical scientific measurement the range

  extends from 0 Hz (hertz = cycles per second) to 10 picometers (a

  picometer being a trillionth of a meter). Within this vast range of EM

  radiation (EMR), the conscious human senses can detect only the

  tiny ranges of visible light, heat, and audible sound.

  information in conflict with their accustomed CSUs.

  Particularly entrenched and rigidified instances are often

  called “sacred cows”, and on a more comprehensive scale,

  “religions”.

  The academic and scientific community prides itself

  on existing intellectually only within the OU, indeed to

  the extent of rejecting any SU as an inconvenient and

  annoying obstacle of “irrationality” to be overcome,

  ridiculed, and ignored. Nevertheless such puritans have

  done nothing more than substitute an established-

  consensus SU to override individual ones. This becomes

  “accepted” science [or as disciples would prefer to say,
