So I recently wrote another meandering article on “The Art Of The Senses” and typically thought – well I cannot have been the only one who has thought on this matter – I best research if any recent publications exist. Nothing with that title came up – although one or two works with similar titles did appear.  I can only conclude that the similar nature of Title is not only of course because we have limited amount of alphanumerical combinations though possibly that more advanced individuals have once again utilised a stepping back and therefore allegedly “objective” position where my “The Art of The Senses” could be taken to fully mean a more subjective in the zone state of being here & now minded.

I have nothing against research and seeking to better discern and learn regarding greater depths of knowledge progress, though you do often come to think that a truly ultimate objective position would be a blank slate, and fully across the board of realms and human endeavour – within whatever categorisation and sensory modalities & methodologies you have a preference for.  A truly unbiased position perhaps known to be virtually impossible for humans, perhaps advanced the rush into computer science models and simulation and so on.  IE. tested hypotheses are carried out expecting a result and when that does not happen a new hypotheses is presented that does work for the outcome the computer has produced. Although the testing and testing again can keep those within various realms busy for a lifetime, most of us perhaps rarely consider the years and indeed flaws potentially built in, through lack of current understanding of the known Universe.

Donald Rumsfeld wrote it thus, and this statement whilst relating to a particular aspect of his working life remit, can be thought of as being true across the entire breadth and depth of human history and research and advancement and so on – I think.

Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.

So what else – well I thought I know I have read some works related to these peoples of history or ingenuity – perhaps I can place myself in a more cerebral zone through viewing some film or movie of some other known purported genius’ – to that end I watched The imitation Game regarding Alan Turing, and I watched Theory of Everything regarding Stephen Hawking.  They were of course invented drama’s that it can be difficult to know as to how closely they did or did not match the individuals portrayed.  I also returned to the cartoon corner and recommended a book I have within my collection “The Codebreakers” by a chap called David Khan.

That perhaps more to do with this idea of sense and response and seeking to respond to the information in front of me.  The artist draws a cartoon that he himself gave a reference for (it being a light imitation of a classical work) I then investigated that classical work and did a follow the trail within my own simple relational research of what I myself know.  Take a word or subject and then follow the chain of linkages.  This method of simple interaction works for me now – although prior to raising my Threshold and so on was often a struggle – perhaps too much stored & disparate mental subject and topics and indeed the related trauma.

I did also recently view a Documentary on Netflix “Th Most Unknown” and that was about a group of researchers creating a kind of chain of linkages (as I just described above) & cross pollination – one person within one field of expertise goes to spend time with another researcher and then that person goes to spend time with another researcher and so on.  That approach of course especially as someone who studied Computers and AI Robotics was known to myself due to many a research area having to have a Computer Science element within there own various levels of Degree & Post Degree & Doctorate Work – especially within the Science Realms, although I am sure Computers are known and seen throughout most subject areas.  I am sure some more Senior Professors have avoided such things – though Computers and those within the field of Computers really do have a finger within very many pies and those more senior individuals would perhaps claim that they delegate such things to there pupils and so on – demonstrating perhaps that things can occur both horizontally and vertically. Not only within computers and simulations though actually within the REAL WORLD of how  Society has progressed and so on.

I also having mentioned “Dark Matter” here and elsewhere thought I had better check and confirm my meanderings with myself.  Research never seems so complicated as it once was when so many a topic or subject can be gone to trustworthy beginner information & knowledge at Wikipedia.

So most or much Science Fiction imagines differing futures and some of those things have gradually become a reality for people whilst other remain within the realm of unexplainable invention or we have not got to that yet in terms of evolutionary development and so on.  We break the rules of Science all the time within TV & Film and other entertainment media’s though having the ability to do that is not necessarily a bad thing for those who want change within there own life and so on.

Even though we are said to be like soak it all up like a sponge machines – it is only investigating some of the realities of the things we have been soaking up where we can perhaps build on the gaps and spaces.  So for example we live or believe ourselves to exist in real time as opposed to some metric time, yet metrics and ever greater depth of metrics have been created and crafted over and over again to ever greater depths or breadths – that perhaps a compliance with the Theories that the Universe is always in expansion.  So I have my real-time and then I watch a cartoon that is said to replicate real time at 12 frames a second or a TV or Movie with its own version of Frames a Second.  Within us all when we think on such things there must be momentary gaps and spaces and so on within our real beings (so to speak).  The rush to very many Virtual reality technologies potentially blinds us to the possibility that we are already living within such realm ideas.  People will boast of Surround Sound Music, close your eyes sit back and listen to the soundtrack.  My father for many years has had a Recording Studio within the House cellar – and I remember when little how few recording channels were available in equipment when little, to the infinite possibility now – again the accuracy within the World about us to that given within Entertainments and the World at Large must have gaps and spaces.  When we walk through a kitchen or garden and differing smells are encountered – again we can acknowledge that gaps and spaces must exist within our conscious faculties of awareness of these things.  Touch – as someone who had a heavily traumatic accident that kept me seemingly locked in a heightened state of fright or flight for many years – I know that having raised threshold that even ideas as to touch must have gaps and spaces within the record – amputees will speak on phantom limb issues – IE.  The limb’s presence is still recorded or held within the cognitive mental realm – even when it is no longer there, I myself have a skin on bone section of my leg without all the nerve endings and tissues that existed previously, again in raising Threshold and exploring such things I have often found that many things we store – be they masks or the many faces of me – are either better done without – do I really want to continue holding these moments of pain – or do I through the Technologies simply whether I want to grip to them and protect them for dear life “let them go” – I still have corresponding memories and usages for my known basic senses, though they are perhaps not necessarily within those metric measure realms in the sense that more of me now and how I identify and so on – has perhaps grown through from the spaces and gaps within my bodies ability to hold store and record them, etc.  IE. what we think of reality is not necessarily reality at all, simply where we ourselves have (for whatever reason) focussed our attentions and so on. That perhaps the greatest allure of raising Threshold and focussing on positive beneficial thoughts feelings and actions and experiences.

What else? Well I recently purchased a whole bunch of online books – almost like I had entered a study zone and needed an obsessive research to go there again – having previously already investigated such things. Not sure what impulses I was working from, though typically I found one or two works (on differing topics and areas) that  I really enjoyed going through – I can recall when at University how the book lists were required rather than optional and some books I am really glad that I still have in my collection, even though of course, you never can be quite sure what is good or bad or neutral for you in terms of your own life progressions and so on.

So a cognitive state of creation then perhaps about making all those links and pathways and throwing stuff down on pages – though I typically having carried out so much formal and education research and returning to Uni in later life and so on – do of course consider what I have just written above as to creating your own realities and environments better suited to how you would like to live and be and independent and so on – the magnitude and indeed obsessiveness I have carried out meditation in recent years is something to behold and indeed not necessarily understandable to third parties witnessing my behaviour.

I think perhaps that coming from what I was studying and wanting to do from a young age and then returning to college and University and then later discovering the Meditation technologies kind of led to myself acting in a kind of finally this worked for those folks and I’m experiencing shifts that I have never experienced throughout my life and maybe I truly do have all the knowledge throughout my being and so on to genuinely have contributed positively and in a rewarding way to me – myself and indeed others.  Much of my AI. study was of course related to Search – much like all these companies such-as Google and so on invest in ever greater search algorithm and so on.  Likewise due to the nature of my interest in Humanoid Robotics.

Many within Robotics realms conclude that more specialist designs are preferable – studying animal behaviours and patterns leads to hybrid designs – supposedly making up perhaps for the basic human flaws of our bodies & capabilities within the physical world – if only I could fly or behave in a coordinated & choreographed swarm like bee’s and birds and have the night vision of owls and the smell of dogs and so on – all perfectly reasonable things to consider and aspire too and study and replicate.  Though I perhaps for whatever reason still wanted to be focused on the humanoid realms.  Much of algorithm and ideas I was interested in were related to the realm of Heuristics.  Of course one has to take into account what I am consciously aware of now is differing to what I believed I knew & so on at the time of my studies.  Though for me Heuristics were perhaps pragmatic in sort of knowing that it really is a big old World out there and you have to fins ways and means to coming to accurate Solutions.

In the film mentioned above – The Imitation Game – regarding Alan Turing – the machine he built was actually one carrying out Heuristic type processes – I mention that because of course in more modern era – it is often given over that Tversky and Kahneman invented these things or at least studied them within human psychology and so on.  They wrote some good books (such-as “Thinking Fast & Slow”) though clearly we can state well actually the PUZZLE solving facility demonstrated within the human record suggests that this is something pre-existing within many a human psyche and one that has clearly existed within more advanced Computer realm for the duration of there history.  Modern machines with great algorithm are perhaps what has led to the Moore’s Law and the doubling of computational capability every year and so on.

So I was – due to having to a write a Satellite Navigation for a Robot – heavily invested in various Heuristic Theories – due – often to how a Robot needed to interact with satellites and indeed have a level of Autonomy within the given environment in the control and coordination of its various parts and sensors etc.- how much behaviour can be local to its physicality (inbuilt) and how much to external satellite sensors – maybe informing of incoming storms etc. or route diversions if some danger lies ahead within is present geographical location – much like you see with real life reports coming in from Mars exploration robots and so on and indeed within Sci-Fi film & TV.  There are probably multiple relay points of various information’s dependent on how such systems have been created and designed and so on.  I am probably the wrong person to ask because I genuinely often feel frustrated within my Worldview with what I see coming out of those study and research realms.  Yes replicating and building any system is actually quite complex and we as adult humans with our bodily control and coordination take for granted many things that we perhaps only see we likely had a learning struggle with, within our own young incapable baby’s and children.

What are things that are not considered within the mental facility or acuity of both sexes?  Many women are encouraged for example to state that men have no knowledge of childbirth and should do no mansplaining – and my mansplaining self can say well actually I had an umbilical cord attached to my mum, and I having grown within her womb and having been given birth too – do actually know what childbirth is like from one side of the coin – even if I possibly do not have any mental sensory recollection – such things must be within all life that is born etc. And typically various groups through there own life choices and biases are typically in resistance to such basic truths of being human.  Both men and women must have within them mental facility of the other sex and indeed some groups are resistant to that – the problem I think with UK Parliamentary Debate is perhaps the one of Duality and particular large demographic groups being placed in power of those who have no such affiliation with those groups – and even when folks calculate that some escape mechanism from duality debate must be possible – you typically find that one group or individual will plant there flag in it and claim ownership & in the process perhaps alienate everyone else. I of course long thought Proportional representation a possible Solution and in computational terms is already utilised – though in humans places where PR are used are also often seen to be as bad as UK Politics.

So anyway I was thinking in terms of Heuristic Navigation – and whether you are a human wanting to do that with your Sight, sound, smell, touch, taste  building blocks or some great unknown 6th sense- examples can already be found within humanity and have been replicated within Science and Robots.  Of course in replicating in a logical and rational way – the human senses – we would probably not consider “The 6th heuristic” or indeed “The 7th heuristic” or “The 8th Heuristic” and so on, though clearly in seeking out to separate cognitive function – that is where you find yourself going, ever greater and more refined sorting patterns and algorithm, usually in order to circumnavigate some problem found within the previous generation of research and what a technology was capable of or indeed finding better ways and means of going about such things.  We long ago entered a realm of designing & creating computers that would self improve there own designs and so on.  The famed ARM chips within modern mobiles were if I recall correctly, based in some of the Cambridge Research of Sir Clive Sinclair and colleagues who wanted to improve upon the issue of wastage in the manufacturing process of silicon chips etc.  Where once a bad bit of silicon having a design printed on it might be thrown away,  They came up with manufacturing ways whereby the schematics and so on enabled the impurities within any given bit of silicon to be circumnavigated – again we can say that occurs in humans – people lose abilities through ill health and suddenly spontaneously regain them again and so on – the more that mapping of the brain has occurred the more that duplications are often found – the brain is not all logically organised and rational – even though we might conjecture that it is – most research suggests that thinking on differing topics and subject realms and indeed sensory realms is more of a WHOLE BRAIN experience & activity.

Some folks may have heard of computer analysis of various writers and books and seen strange distribution images suggesting that a given author was actually quite limited in brain region usage whilst this other writer was clearly of gifted intelligence through broader and wider and deeper distribution of where there work came from and the mental triggers activated etc.  All of course distractions though interesting ones non-the-less.  Especially when you consider that many of us went to school and did English Language and English Literature and what is Literature supposed to represent?  I would suggest that the meaning given in the classroom context is often wrong in the more modern realm of computational sciences creating and crafting measures of such things.

That perhaps part of the truth of History being written by peoples at certain levels of society whether separated by class or background and so on, where far less is perhaps known of those who were possibly at such peoples mercy and so on.  It could be suggested that even Meritocracy whilst a fantastic idea is rarely true of the examples and peoples given.  this person was selected on merit – who measures the merit? Who watches the watchers etc. ?

That perhaps why rationalist extremists come to the fore in the sense that many a person chooses themselves and justifies such selfishness somewhere down the line in being able to say, my selfishness at that young age made me rich and now as a philanthropist I can give back to far more people than you ever would have (really? that was where the train of thought led and not necessarily thinking ill of all philanthropists or peoples) and they may or may not have your own best interests at heart, so much as there own. I was competitive during my younger years though following accident was unable to be competitive, almost like easy target for any society predators & bullies and catching an unwanted bad dose (so to speak), and of course when you are already at the lower echelons of society, where the greatest level of desperation and squabbling and fighting perhaps exists – your options or dare I say struggles are even harder to be able to overcome.

So anyway since taking up Meditation I have of course had to reconsider many a thought feeling and behaviour or action and so on that I have experienced or taken during and within my life, though it is also annoying that in order to overcome many an ill I genuinely had to become something of a super-procrastinator and be quite extremist or disciplined perhaps about the very many realms and directions I could focus my efforts upon. I really perhaps wanting to push up hard against all the pre-existing issues I wanted to deal with in my life and indeed feel that in navigational terms wanted to catch up with where these technologies had led many of those who have been using them for so many years etc.  What I perhaps had not considered was that the brain techs are often said to be utilising what you already have within your noggin – so in some ways I could well be more advanced than my own disposition allows or enables myself to think.

What was I thinking of creativity wise?  Well it goes back to what we have in technology versus how to think in ways and means of futures etc.  I wrote above about sensors replicating many human and animal facilities and even long known technologies have done that – such-as Radar or Sonar and so on.  The Evolution of these things causes you to perhaps think on that great issue of time.  We know what we know about people historically through what they have recorded about themselves through writing and drawing and technologies and the Arts and so on.  Of course watching shows such-as Dr Who and so on – or indeed following the work of a Stephen Hawking makes you wonder as to whether you could have time radar & sonar and so on – facilities and technologies that go beyond the present comprehension of the known universe.  I have never been visited by a timelord therefore time travel does not and never will exist says the old argument. Or yes we have time travel known as the long way round in these scales and measures and though it only goes in one direction of progress and your moment here was limited in the greater scheme of things – thank you for your legacy.

So I thought on this idea of Heuristic a lot in the sense that to bring forth all those gaps & spaces of a real you – heuristics across the known branches of human knowledge and science and even the believed to be La-Di-Da & so on would be required, and when you think upon all the very many processes we potentially accumulate within our lives etc. as well as newer ones that we may or may not have personally experienced – the word NOW I have experienced and known throughout my life though it never until I took up meditation really was known as some literal existence space or place called now that makes sense, or indeed Neuroplasticity – I rushed through the early levels of Meditation and carried out some quite heavy breathing exercises that seemingly caused the somewhat solid long set in its ways brain to begin perhaps reprocessing in news ways and means and so on.

It is easy for creators of some of these techs to say and teach the things they do – though as I have said on several occasions it really does appear that the experience and in your own way and so on, is where much of this stuff is really at.

Yes I wrote a day or two ago in wanting to bring forth some creativity and I have written this today in wanting to bring forth some creativity, and I think I perhaps want something to do with that “The Art of The Senses” idea used in combination with Heuristics, though one does wonder as to whether these things such-as neuroplasticity and new levels of awareness or capability and capacity can ever happen for themselves within the normal scheme of human development and evolution and so on – given how as said above all my own progress in more recent years of my life, has predominantly come through usage of Brain Tech’s and not as Society seems to want – awareness through conflict and battle of politicians and so on.

The empowerment of the techs is of course perhaps in bringing about improved mental states and knowing that the place you most have control of (within your own life) is within how you have used your own mental facilities and abilities and so on.  Yes you could spend a life time striving to guide and influence others  and potentially be very good at it, though many trains of the greater schemes of things thoughts lead to the so-called simples – of wanting money on the table and food in the belly or perhaps to be able to go out and enjoy the walk in the park and shopping or social entertainment facilities in a take it or leave it fashion of being responsible, without perhaps feelings of having too or being compelled or having to comply or deal with or be triggered unhelpfully or toxically by other peoples etc.

Yes I think I shall leave this one here and as always when throwing things down, wonder upon how I might edit and adopt the witness posture and so on etc.

Thank you for reading, God Bless and be well!

So traditionally I have usually written quite meandering and unspecific blog articles, though over the last year or two have spent quite large amounts of time within The Guardian Online Realm.  Most of my activities within that particular Journalistic News outlet has typically been within Cartoon Corner (as I call it) – although it is usually somehow related to the Political Events of the Day, I have usually sort to carry out some Everyman interpretation – whereby 1 picture or image could actually be posted 365 days a year and somewhere within the World – at least in terms of “The Witness Posture” of meditation you would find such things to be TRUE.  Likewise if you somehow feel victimised or indeed (as I very much was prior to meditation) confused & conflicted to the point where I was unable perhaps to see the so-called patterns and cycles of time and or feel that I had any contribution differing from that of any other contributor.

So what is the meaning of the above title?

Well I seemingly stalled somewhat within my own creativity and indeed have not written as many articles as I would have liked here.- although you do sometimes feel that you have given some guidance or direction to those within the sphere of The Guardian Online output, none or few (if any) actually state such things – so despite Centerpointe or indeed Learning Strategies being able to say they have millions of customers throughout the Globe – I cannot to any given level of certainty know who those people happen to be.  Although I personally have generally tried to guide people towards more positive usages, I know that historically (or so it seemed) many were quite happy to raise there Threshold and still be not particularly nice folks and so on.

So The Art Of The Senses?

Well I was wondering about various questions of unanswered questions of Science, not only in the sense of where will various topics or subjects go next, so much as seeking to address those famed imbalance issues between Brain Hemispheres.  one side often suggested to be all logic and rational whilst the other is said to be the more creative side of the brain.

So I was wondering what a Leonardo Da Vinci might make of modern times – given that he seemingly tried too invent or speculate upon future creative ventures – and indeed what he might make of “The Future” from the perspective of existing NOW.  I also found myself indulging some Sherlock Holmes Created by Conan Doyle type questioning strategies and ideas and indeed Albert Einstein – in terms of what makes a so-called Genius – all these folks could actually be complete unknowns (such-as myself) though society of there respective times & era’s recognised something differing about there work or output that caused them to be raised above the non-entity status.

As a small child of course I would watch much TV and Film and indeed read Science Fiction works and I was of quite a strong mind during my very early years at least that I wanted to create Humanoid Robots and so on – I was onboard with the idea (at least within my own head) that Science would have taken us far further forward than it actually seemingly has.  Although of course part of my life story was having a really fantastically high physics score within exam conditions and then having to drop the subject due to it being incompatible with family’s religious beliefs.  A poor decision on my part especially as it was recommended I continue with a Science and whilst I did Computer Science anyway the others Chemistry and Biology never held as much interest for myself.  Having said that I did of course return to College in later life and do a more practical Electronics Engineering and then went onto University and Studied Computer Science and AI.  Although incomplete due to other life circumstances much of my last year within the University Campus & Facilities was spent within a Robotics Lab and much like many such a Facility, what was going on within those walls in terms of research and so on would often show up in popular culture or indeed alternate usages a few years later.  So in many respects it could be suggested that I have some Mad Scientist Quality from young childhood that still burns strongly enough that it feels like a regret that I have not yet built humanoid robots and so on.

 So we are traditionally told that we have 5 senses and some folks will talk of a mysterious 6th sense (often regarded perhaps in Science terms as a combination of one of more of the other senses) perhaps why some folks have sort to better define or delineate Extra Sensory Perception or indeed state that as it is perhaps internal it might be better regarded in that fashion – not extra at all.

So Sight Sound Touch Smell Taste – are of course all things that perhaps within each and every one us of have some measure and scale of.  We also know that in terms of computer systems (here’s my interest bit) that we have sort to creatively build independent tools or robots & devices that replicate these activities. And Science of course is often regarded as a matter of Logical and Rational.  So the question always returns as to the creative side of the thinking divide and indeed Consciousness.

We have to remember that much of History or Advancement came through basic human instincts and behaviour, history is often written by the victors of wars for land and women and food and power and influence and Empires.  So typically until now (at least) many (possibly regarded as) undesirable cycles and patterns have repeated again and again.  A Computer System perhaps bereft of human survival needs and instincts is potentially more likely to steer humans away from the worst excesses – or they could at least inform of better courses & direction & judgements (in simulation terms) if only those within the wider World would think on or accept there guidance.  Though humans seemingly promote that folks should be more afraid of AI (including many within the AI realms) I generally think it says more about the concern of there own empires & ego’s than necessarily what the tools and devices are used for.

Even having now meditated and cleared much nonsense from my own thoughts feelings and behaviours, that is me myself and my own choices – I cannot necessarily influence many folks within the rest of the UK population of 67 million or indeed the wider World’s 7 Billion peoples, so the fear of lack of resources or infrastructure and so on for more population – typically leads to what we are seeing in the Wider World in terms of more extremist tendencies being seen amongst World wide populations. The rise of particular kinds of politics and prejudices and so on – are all part of those old cycles and patterns – even though I am quite sure that all the Major Governments have advanced enough computer systems to guide them down alternate routes of thoughts feelings actions, unfortunately those calling for such things are seemingly in an minority that does not have enough influence or perhaps have decided it is better to stay quiet about such issues.

So The Art Of The Senses had myself also thinking about what the designation for differing arts are – we have drawing and painting for sight, we have music and vocals and a world of background noise for Sound, we have  the effects of touch in terms of what we feel – fabrics and air pressure etc We can have quite strong senses of smell across the spectrum of the world around us, We do also have a sense of taste, in terms of foods or indeed non-foods.

So Each person Above is an example of there time Leonardo Da Vinci clearly utilised his senses and studied the mechanics of people and animals and then perhaps sort to do as we often do now in terms of cross-pollination of ideas, although most of his work comes to us now in terms of notes or his diaries and popular works etc.

Conan Doyle who wrote Sherlock Holmes was within the medical profession and perhaps thought deeply on this issue of being able to use the full repertoire of your senses.  He also perhaps had great visualisation skills in being of a generation that thought about the what-if’s of perhaps out-of-body experiences – possibly through that era’s usage of certain types of drugs and stimulants.

Albert Einstein – was said to have been a Librarian of sorts who spent a lot of time reading, learning  and studying prior to then releasing his own various Theories on mathematics and so on.

So who else?  Well obviously as someone who has meditated and done various courses, I can kind of see the self-fulfilling prophecy aspect that many so-called Genius has utilised.

Walt Disney and his various colleagues created Fantastic Worlds within Cartoon and then went onto create real life Disney parks – where they paint the grass and have many staff all absolutely focussed on creating delightful colourful realities and so on.

Steve Jobs – got in quite early in the home computer market business taking ideas he witnessed from places such-as Bell Labs and creating them within his own machines and so on.

So I was thinking that “The Art Of The Senses” was where many a person gained there AH-HA moment and just stuck at it and persevered with it and so on.

Prior to finding the meditation technology I did of course encounter folks who had gotten there first and some would talk within there teachings of near death experience’s similar to my own- having a bad accident where all the senses perhaps go into a massively heightened overdrive or indeed immediately shut down  into a shock safety mode – and indeed the stories were also similar to some of those folks I encountered as a youngster going to church. Even perhaps like those movies such-as Dr Strange a year or 2 ago when the ancient one pushed his body and he entered an Astral Body zone, much like classical cartoons where characters were shown to have briefly been frightened out of there skin.  Perhaps the ah-ha’ some of these folks had had was one of planting a little seed or part of themselves within very many peoples.  You exist as long as you are remembered or known (potentially as long as the death was not as true as imagined) a bit like that recent Pixar Film Coco. Although also within the long term meditator aspect there is also the teaching that in spiritual terms death does not necessarily mean death so much as some shape and form of rebirth or a new understanding – the death of one fact held to be truth (as a belief) replaced by a new improved awareness or belief that is from a higher place on the mountain (so to speak).

Anyway returning to the senses issue of “near death experience” my own more recent thoughts kept returning to where Science Ideas began or indeed those that may have influenced my own thoughts feelings and issues at a younger time, so I typically crawled through various books and hoping to find some missing link that I had previously dismissed as eg. a blip or outlier within the information – I say that because much of Science has found some example of something working and then obsessively REFINED such example – that is also how the structure and architecture of Computer chips and architectures came about etc. At the same time things that do not fit neatly into some theory’s are dismissed or ignored, an all new expense to themselves when this little bit of the puzzle that has a life times worth of funding is enough to keep me busy for some time.

So I was thinking that much like some Ancient Greek asked to weigh some Gold had an AH-HA as to Water Displacement when having a bath, or the effects of Gravity being known through an Apple falling from a Tree – much of Modern Science across the board is seemingly obsessed with something referred to as “DARK MATTER” – IE. Some Hypothesis was created and crafted for various experiments and when the testing was carried out and did not fulfil said hypothesis it was hypothesized that other unknowns must be influencing the various outcomes of the known Universe and the data that we have.

Kind of like saying we cannot see what is displacing the light or water or measurements etc.  Even though the data says that is what is occurring and happening.

And that typically takes myself once again into the Magical Realms of thoughts and so on – I use the term Magical in the sense of Advanced Civilisation appearing magical to lesser advanced civilisation than absolute magic in the classical sense of being amazed by something in which we did not know how it was done.

So it often seems to be one of those You can lead a horse to water though you cannot make him drink, in terms of other folks having some enlightened or alleged I know that you know – AH-HA moment,  and in the same way you also have the aspect of needle in a haystack of what you are looking for in shining a light on a given topic and indeed the issue that the Science World still struggles (in my own opinion at least) with being able to measure things outside of the Current Rational Logic Hypothesis Criteria.  We know that we can use Supercomputers to make the most beautiful and magical and wonderfully perfect almost realms within Film and Cyberspace, for the visually oriented, and indeed some types of music appeal far more to some than others within the sound arena, smell has of course also been tried with limited effect within Cinema though successful perhaps within some kinds of shopping experiences, touch again is one for people knowing what they like in terms of cotton or silk. Taste of course – folks know what there own preferences are.

So anyway I, in returning to “The Art Of The Senses” issue was thinking on those other areas we apply the idea of Sense – Sense of Direction (for example) this has been studied within various creatures and indeed when you look at Science it has often been found that Ancient Stories of compasses spinning and so on, are down to local Magnetics or other features of some area of the World.  We also know within maths that you only need the location of two features to calculate a third and indeed satellite theory was initially built on such things.

So I happened to watch some show a year or two back called Sense 8 – one of those futuristic type shows about certain kinds of seeming superhumans who happened to perhaps be of a differing unknown lineage (much like many a historical created hidden among us set of creatures – werewolves, vampires, zombies etc.).  The show has certain topic biases etc. (I thought) although it was a created & crafted World wide and by the folks who created “The Matrix”, so was as a World Wide Production interesting in the way they managed to mix up the various characters and localised stereotypes on a World wide basis.

Anyway that number 8 is interesting in the sense that we talk of 6th sense though rarely consider the numbers game of just how many extra unknown within populations senses there might be, I think that number within the show was due to the number of folks within the group of people with abilities.  Though it coincided with various researches of my own as to the so-called issue of Heaven & Hell and how alphabetically H is on the other side of G and of course musical nation scales (In the West) typically go through A-G, new octave, and so on. And colours of the Rainbow of historical Science matched up with those notations and so on.  Of course Science now perhaps with modern supercomputers revisits those old simple pattern matches and comes up with far more advance and complex models.  Though they are still potentially useful as a starting point.

Of course DNA sampling and testing within Genome research has also gone to ever greater depths of study and research, though I personally do wonder if given how now ancient fears regarding Gamma radiation and Nuclear issues (in film and comic books) have spread as to perhaps there really are unknown within the human record more diverse SENSES or indeed types of DNA than are accounted for – especially when those Dark Matter Theorists inform us of invisible cosmic rays from the sun and outer space constantly bombarding us and so on.

I recommend the Holosync Technology because it really does seemingly have to be subjectively experienced rather than told about, and even then each level has seemingly brought with it some differing or new previously unknown perspective to just how conscious I thought or believed I was, at an earlier level.  Of course I may have gone overboard in my haste to go through the levels, though after a lifetime of seeming suffering it was a kind of what the hell shot – nothing to lose idea, and indeed perhaps the first honest (in its own way) Technology I had experienced, that removed much of the conflict & confusion from previous lifelong lessons and learnings.

Yes so I have once again meandered on though I really do conclude that not only perhaps other dimensions exist so much as other senses within our own development that are unaccounted for – perhaps not fitting with how Evolution has occurred going from Mad individuals studying the World at large ,to collectives of Scientists creating Objectivity and Hypothesis Models and this is what is best as truth for us, to supercomputer that can go back through the record and say – well actually chaps it appears you missed, failed or ignored these other quieter voiced truths over here.

The problem I think is one of UNOBVIOUS SENSES such-as that one of Direction, we are given all these hundreds and thousands of words or indeed the basic numbers and are expected to use them in specific kinds of orders (that worked for those more learned individuals of there times) though not necessarily for others who existed outside of the regular spheres of Science Progress and Development & ESTABLISHMENTS.

So when I think of senses I then find subcategorization or some thing perhaps even mislabelled or miscategorised.  We know we can create pyramids out of blocks and we can create Tree Histories and Flow Charts for very many things, though there is always the talk of particles and waves and that is due to the nature of going to ever greater depth within particular Branches of Science without being aware of what is going on within other branches.  Perhaps the particles and waves that are spoken of are again not enough for the next Evolution of knowledge and Science.

Part of the problem is of course that some types of unpopular science are regarded as not being objective and therefore subjective and I just had the name Rupert Sheldrake pop into my head as an example – his Morphic Resonance and other theories cannot easily fit the populist models are therefore get branded pseudoscience just as do the works of folks such-as Deepak Chopra.

Of course regardless of having taken up unpopular (within mainstream) Scientific causes they have sold a lot of books and indeed are known to have a lot of support within there respective audiences, although such things are often disregarded by establishments. I personally prefer Deepak Chopra’s to multiple UK Scientists. As he always (to me) seeks to combine thoughts and theories of Science and religions into a more INCLUSIVE Spiritual set of theories where common ground for advancement perhaps exists for all peoples in a Healthy fashion. The United Kingdom seemingly dominated by Rationalist Atheist’s who are often quite toxic to anyone who disagrees or enters into debate with them. Why catch a bad dose, when you can seek out likeminded folks to advance or march in time with (so to speak).

I think my issue perhaps being one of wanting to not re-enter the dualistic debates arena having spent years meditating to gain those higher experiences and clear out much flotsam & jetsam within my life.  They say give yourself wider and broader experiences and in having entered the almost quite Alien Arena of Guardian online for a couple of years I think I have done that – if someone said David go and experience a hostile environment then Guardian online is perhaps the place, yes I know that most of the Daily Journalistic Media Realms can all be quite toxic, though for myself within my own lifetime having read Red Tops and other broadsheets – the Guardian was perhaps the only unexperienced outlier of influence and manipulation.

So what are the issues now – well clearly the brain technologies I have utilised work to a certain extent and indeed perhaps many who take them up have gone on to be Stars in various Worldly Realms.  I of course can consider myself to be fortunate or unfortunate in the sense of what association or IDEAS I have pursed within my life and investigated and so on.  There is the aspect of My future Self will save me from the current issue, or putting the work in and not gaining any particular reward.

Then of course another kind of confusion exists in wondering if life has been lived in the correct order – when investigating areas of Technology such-as Cinema and TV and Music and many other creative arena’s you often have that aspect of things occurring within the wrong order. In Production terms some of these things are pre-planned in terms of how to best construct your schedule & programme knowing you have to fulfil these time obligations & Targets, through filming out of sequence etc. whilst in traditional creative realms you have that aspect of getting IDEAS out of order – you might think of one particular idea for some point within a plot and then seek to construct the beginning or ending and various bits and bobs to create a Whole.  Like drawing a Tree on a Canvas and then deciding to include surrounding features.

They do say organise your lists and so on after getting your initial ideas down, and that perhaps is along the lines of editing and editing again until you are happy with your overall product or outcome.

I should of course do such things within this blog as much of what I have written historically is of course just throwing stuff down and writing and writing, yes at some point you do wonder where that truly great inspiration will come up.

The Art Of The Senses?  What senses might exist that can account for these unknown phenomena within Science or the World at Large? are there any known or unknown related sensory phenomena within any threads of the human record? believed or otherwise?

Why did I spend time thinking on Leonardo Da Vinci, Sherlock Holmes and Einstein?

Well I was working through the idea of incubation of ideas, and had listened to some Paraliminal from Learnings Strategies who mention those individuals within there own products, so I perhaps thought that A + B + C might equal AH-HA.

How to invent some all-encompassing innovative breakthrough in getting past the current mental blocks as to what is possible – much of science of course has headed in the direction or course set not only by historical Sci-Fi books though also older generation Science Fiction TV & Film and those things exist so strongly within larger societal consciousness that they can be what you have a desire to move beyond in terms of new breakthroughs etc. of what can genuinely be possible.  Almost like you have such strong inbuilt filters that even hoping for some cross-pollination of genius can misdirect you somewhat. trying to be cleverer than you are or not realising you have already presented yourself with a Solution at some point and failed to realise it was with you all this time.

Anyway – I have written and written after not writing here for a while so I will publish and then have some OMG when I read it back to myself – Though Clearly “The Art Of The Senses” is where human race requires perhaps returning to and redesigning in a better fashion and model than Historical and limited Scientists were able to deal or cope with within there respective era’s of the human record.

Thank you for reading, God Bless and Be Well!
