Does Objective Reality Exist?

423.01Question: If some visible physical density of the world is as though a secondary reality and what is there is actually only a holographic collection of frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and selects only some frequencies from this collection and mathematically converts them into some kind of sensory perceptions, then what remains for the share of objective reality?

Answer: It does not exist. It is given to us only in sensations, because all our sensations are inside of us. It turns out that our inner feeling arises first, and then the supposedly existing objective reality. It is not objective, but absolutely subjective.

In actuality, we are some kind of receivers that float in a kaleidoscopic sea of frequencies and are tuned to a single channel. And we have to expand it to the sea in which we are located. And it is in man’s capability.

Depository of Humanity’s Memory

294.1Question: Is there some kind of depository of common memory of all humanity?

Answer: Yes, certainly. Everything we have done throughout history is located and stored in the same reality where we are now.  I can almost see absolutely everything that had happened two to three thousand years ago. It all exists as real as what exists today. Only we are in a certain process of development and that is why we feel the information that comes to us and that we have to process now.

In principle, we are inside of all information. We can, as if, rise above today’s day—what we call today, today’s information—and float in the general flow back and forth, anywhere.

There are no limitations here. It all depends on how much a person is capable of it. Therefore, there are people who feel the future and there are those who can also feel the past, and feel it all very clearly.

They can rise above the general layer of information. We all connect to the current state point by point, and they can connect to the future as well as to the present; it is equivalent.

What Is the Correct Interconnection?

275Comment: We can imagine our current state as one of a person who is under local anesthesia undergoing surgery on some part of the body and he does not feel it. Similarly, we do not feel our dependence on each other.

My Response: We feel globally dependent on each other in our adversities, but we do not want to admit and understand it. Only our correct global interconnection can lead us to harmony, to a correct, good existence.

The correct interconnection between us is like the interconnection between parts of one body where I do not take more than I need. This is how every cell of the body exists. It takes as much as it needs to function and gives the rest to other organs; it serves the whole body.

This is how each of us is, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Comment: But in order for a person to change his perception, he first needs to reveal this picture.

My Response: First, one needs to realize that it is impossible to exist otherwise. We have reached an impasse and one cannot correct oneself. What to do next? Then one will find that source of external energy, light, which will change a person. This is the only way we will be corrected, not on our own, by forcing people to be altruists and give everything they have, but with the help of the upper light, by connecting with each other. You will see that it is possible.

Question: Will we be pushed to this by blows and suffering anyway?

Answer: If we do not want to do this by ourselves.

Question: Does it mean that we cannot expect anything good?

Answer: If we are good, then we will receive only good, and if we are bad, then we will receive only bad.

Acquiring New Consciousness

294.4Question: Is the fact that we perceive everything separately actually an illusion, since in reality everything is interconnected?

Answer: Of course. In order to perceive what really exists outside of us, we have to exit ourselves. Is it possible or not? Which of us is able to exit our senses, our ideas, desires, thoughts, and even our instinctive attitude to all kinds of phenomena?

We have no idea how we filter out information that to us seems unnecessary, implicit, and unimportant. That is, we cannot put ourselves in the framework of a true and objective observer. To do this, we just need to leave ourselves, exit ourselves from the outside. But then with what qualities will we observe this universe?

If we are speaking from the point of view of the ontology of cognition of reality, then we must completely leave all the qualities of our body, our consciousness, and acquire another body, another consciousness, which is in full compliance with those objective laws, qualities, and forces of the universe that are outside of us. Then based on them, we will be able to observe the picture that is undisturbed by us.

Question: What does another body and another consciousness mean? How can we imagine this?

Answer: Let’s say we call it a soul or simply something that we do not have, but that can appear next to us. Somehow through it, I can feel the world around me as it is and not as it passes through my eyes, ears, tactile sensations, nerves, taste or olfactory receptors.

A Storage of Thoughts and Desires

420.06Question: In 1946, the remarkable neuropsychologist Carl Lashley conducted a series of experiments on rats in which he taught them to perform a series of tasks, such as race for the shortest path in a maze, etc.

He then removed various parts of the rats’ brains and retested them. His goal was to remove the part of the brain in which the memory of the ability to run through the maze was stored.

To his surprise, he found that regardless of which parts of the brain were removed, the memory as a whole could not be eliminated. Usually, only the motor skills of the rats were disturbed as they were barely able to hobble through the maze. But even with the removal of a significant part of the brain, their memory remained intact.

How can it be that surgery does not affect memory?

Answer: We are just detectors, recipients, of the vast amount of information that exists outside of us. And it’s all outside of us. All our feelings and thoughts are not held within us.

The heart is not a sense organ, but a pump that reacts very sharply to all kinds of pressure drops, innervations, etc. The brain is the same. The repository of all our desires and thoughts is outside of us. Around us is an information field and we can say that by connecting to it, we manifest this field in our various actions.

The brain is a tool with which we seem to connect to an external information field and within itself conceals a record of all information.

Question: And then where is all the information stored, all the memories?

Answer: Outside of us! Memory is not at the intersection of synapses. There is none of this. It is arranged this way only in order to transform information coming from an external degree that is inaccessible to our perception into something that we can work with.

Meaning, the brain is like a computer, let’s say in the same way that you connect your computer to the Internet. The Internet is like a worldwide virtual mass memory and a computer is something that can extract something from it and present it to us for use.

I and the Universe Are One Common Whole

707Question: What is the difference between the current distorted state and the corrected state that we have to come to?

Answer: Our current state is corrupted, temporary, and unstable. It gives us suffering every second because it forces us to come to global harmony.

Global harmony is when all parts of nature are interconnected and absolutely complement each other. Today this necessity is beginning to unfold in our world.

Therefore the difference between the present world and the world of the future is that by correcting our desires from receiving, from egoism, to bestowal and love, we begin to feel our world, our universe, and all other spiritual worlds together as one common whole absolutely connected with us. Meaning, I and all this are one common whole.

Moreover, I feel it as “I and everyone else are connected together.” No one and nothing disappears; all these objects, all the properties, desires, and thoughts just become one common whole, an interconnected, complementary, harmonious single body called Adam.

This spiritual construction, in which everything is harmoniously connected, is called the world of infinity, the world of infinite, perfect, harmonious, eternal existence. We will come to it because all the parts of this system complement each other, constantly overflow, exchange, and so on.

There is nothing that would die, be destroyed, or act at the expense of the other. Everything is based on mutual addition, the same as in a healthy body.

Connecting to the Common Volume of Information

764.2Question: Memory is not the only brain function based on the holographic principle. Scientists have come to the conclusion that vision is also holographic. Moreover, the visual centers of the brain show an amazing resistance to surgical intervention.

Although 90% of the visual cortex of the brain was removed in experimental rats and 98% in cats, visual function was still preserved. This can be compared to the situation when an audience in the cinema is watching a movie on the screen with 90% of its area is removed.

What is, in fact, our vision?

Answer: Our vision is really built on the holographic principle, like practically all of our senses.

It is enough for us to receive a small piece of information from some integral picture in order to connect to information that is outside of us and receive a supplement. It depends on the “transparency” of a person, meaning on his attitude to nature, to the environment.

If he is not a hard, dark, egoistic area, then he is able to connect to this volume of information in such a way that he will receive an absolute supplement. He may even come to a state where he does not need his sensory organs because the heart (desire) has no sensory organs.

The brain has no sensory organs. The sensory organs are something external. We can connect to the external desire, to the great mind, directly with desire and reason and be included in this common whole, which precisely is the united humanity.

Nature Is Desire

712.03A scientist reveals everything in science not with his mind, he reveals everything in sensations (Vladimir Vernadsky).

My Comment: Yes, a person is a sentient being. Man is a desire. In general, all nature is a desire. We study relationships and connections between different desires, and therefore, in the end, we must talk about feelings.

No matter how much we want to put it into formulas and dependencies—the beginning, the end, the middle of the formula that connects the beginning and the end, various properties, states, etc.— we are still talking about what is happening to matter.

All matter is the desire to be filled, to enjoy, to bring itself into balance with the environment, with its inner state. As a result, we still talk about desire either on the inanimate, the vegetative, the animate, or on the human level.

Yet it is necessary to understand that desire is a matter. It is not that I want something and that is it. For example, the desire of atoms is to keep their structure—you have to make great efforts to break these desires. Nature is only a desire.

Therefore, when Vernadsky was talking about feelings, about the fact that our whole nature is surrounded by a huge thought, an idea, a desire, and noosphere, then, naturally, he was talking about attaining the program of matter that exists around it. This is the predestination of man.

Comment: Regarding our time, Vernadsky wrote: “There will be a lot of pride, a narrowness of consciousness, and hardheartedness until a man forgets himself in a single great feeling of love.”

My Response: Yes, until a man rises above himself in the property of love. Then the general universe, the general plan, the whole program of creation, its whole path, and what we are heading to will be revealed to him.

Why Animals Never Make Mistakes

49.01Question: If there is a repository of the common memory of humanity, then where are the instincts of animals?

Answer: Animals are absolutely closed. They live rigidly connected to the general information flow.

A man can rise above it, but an animal cannot. In man there is a present, past, and future so he can develop. He compares himself with the past and the future, envies, wants to achieve more, and learns from the past. An animal does not have this. It lives by momentary instincts; the way it is controlled today, so it acts.

An animal is not connected in any way with the past and the future, so it does not make mistakes.

Question: Does this explain why during natural disasters they run away from in time?

Answer: Yes, they are instinctively, absolutely rigidly tied to the system, and therefore receive clear information from it. And we receive fuzzy information from the system because we must supplement it with our own participation.

And here is the problem, if a tsunami hits us, it means that we caused it by our wrong actions between us! Animals are not involved in this; they understand what will happen and calmly leave. Whereas we cannot understand and feel this because we ourselves produced this great tragedy.

The World Is Our Reflection

423.02Question: How can it be that two completely different perceptions, corporeality and spirituality, are combined in a person? How is it possible to combine them within oneself?

Answer: They can be combined, it is not a problem. The world is a reflection of what is happening within us. Nothing happens in the world itself! It is just our reflection. We see, like on an X-ray, our common qualities.

The entire world around us is a common state, the common qualities of all of humanity: Japan and Arab countries and their revolutions. You will see what comes next! We will have more and more bright news every day. Every morning you will wake up in a new world.

We are moving toward the end of our world, but not in the sense that everything will be destroyed. Simply according to the order of nature we must rise from our world to the next dimension, to the upper world. And nature pushes us to this.

Question: The Book of Zohar says that nature’s pushing begins from the best ones. What does “the best” mean?

Answer: If suffering comes into the world, then, as a rule, it is distributed in such a way that it is felt more in people who, according to our views, are supposed to feel it least of all.

For example, the Japanese are constantly suffering from earthquakes and tsunamis, but they do not mean anything militant, they work normally, earn as much as they should. We do not see anything bad from them.

Look how well they exist within themselves. Even their militant sect, as soon as the earthquake occurred, declared to everyone that it would fight injustice: “If someone steals, takes something extra in the store, or there is looting somewhere, then you will deal with us.”

That is, the people themselves do not want to exist at the expense of causing evil to others.
