Summary
1. We do not have a subconscious but a second, active, decision-making consciousness, a C2, operating a short time ahead of the C1, the consciousness of the everyday, both attached to “our” one brain. This second consciousness replaces the notion of a subconscious (and associated ideas, like the soul). By its actions it replaces ideas of a “sixth sense,” “instinct,” “working on autopilot” and how we might understand body language (to name a few constructs). (A Harvard psychiatrist has a similar idea.) It is, in most of us, “good.” The C1 is the consciousness we think we are and the C2 the consciousness of the everywhere.
It follows from this that if we exist as two consciousnesses the unitary “I” does not exist.
2. Both the C1 and the C2 operate as co-centered vortices (dual vortices) of energy below the Planck length/time border (a portion of space/time I call the metaverse). In my belief system the C2 has more energy and thus spins faster and thus has a narrower diameter than the C1. (An idea for similar vortices, though not co-centered, exists as speculation in theoretical physics. And see the video of Dr. John Hagelin on the Unified Field page.) The C1 spins up at the time the C2 begins to operate.
Six points arising
1. Since the C2 is a vortex and operating a short time ahead of the C1 a C3 mode is entered if the two vortices begin to spin at a similar rate. This relates to the concept of “enlightenment” (which is in quotes because it is an “extraordinarily imprecise construct“).
2. The C1 and the C2 are anchored to a particular brain. Other consciousnesses I call C4s exist in the metaverse and are not so anchored.
3. Since the metaverse is by definition unbounded in both space and time it might exist across/under the entire multiverse (if that exists, which I think it does).
Update April 2014: They found “killer evidence” of the existence of the multiverse in March 2014. See this short video for a brief explanation:
Update June 2014: They have decided it might not be killer evidence after all. Oops. Keep an eye out.
4. I lean toward equating chi energy with quantum energy.
5. Any CBS has to explain the phenomenon of true “voice hearing” and other such phenomena. In this CBS it is construed as communication with C4s. There is an explanation connected to this belief which is implied.
Update December 2013: And see this PLOS Biology paper, published December 3 2013, which speaks to the social nature of voices.
6. We may have other consciousnesses.
I call it a belief system because it is not a theory.
Please see the note Everything for the information in context. A journal of the work that produced the CBS is available on this blog. The two main ideas were complete by December 2010.
