Your brain processes your view of reality

 

This article is riddled with links, since it contains quite a complex matter of how humans experience reality and whatever it intends to mean. Reality is a simulation. Physics, neuroscience, and mathematics all point to the same conclusion: you are inside a constructed system, designed to be invisible from within. Matter does not exist until observed. Your brain deletes 99.9% of incoming data before you see anything. Your memories rewrite themselves every time you recall them. The double slit experiment proved particles choose a state only when measured. The quantum eraser proved that removing information is capable of reversing any choice you made. Wheeler's delayed choice experiment proved the present rewrites the past. The Planck length and Planck time reveal a universe with a minimum pixel and a fixed frame rate. The holographic principle proves three-dimensional space is projected from a flat surface. Many physical constants are fine-tuned to tolerances that cannot be explained by chance. Bostrom's simulation argument leaves no fourth option. Hoffman's fitness-beats-truth theorem proves evolution built your perception to hide reality, not reveal it. Gödel's two incompleteness theorems prove no system can fully describe itself from inside. The cage is real. The bars are mathematical. And you were built not to see them.


The brain receives 11 million data and shows us imagery based on only 4 million



The above paragraph is information flooded and difficult to casually digest, but below are some examples that may give you some more insight to what is contained in the previous paragraph. It loosely reflects a part of a Youtube video that contains in its description that there is some sort of a code behind the way in which humans experience 'reality', which completely is NOT what most of us tend to think. It utterly destroys the old saying 'Seeing is believing' beyond repair. That was coined by someone that was unaware of the way the human brain works or by one that actually does, but wants human beings to remain separated from what actually goes on in mankind's skull. Both are assumptions of course, but assumptions may rank among the most dangerous cerebral activities that have the potential to lead to misinterpretations that go on around and inside of us for reasons that may go all the way back to the Gnostic lore of old days. And even those texts have no direct relation to what advanced and fringe have unveiled. So, here we go:

Karl Friston conceived the Predictive Coding perspective while being in the University College London in 2006. Research subjects were shown basket ball players passing the ball and were asked how many passes they gave. Then they were shown the same videos, but in the middle of them a man dressed in a gorilla suit appeared for 9 seconds that beat his chest and then disappeared. None of the test subjects recalled seeing the gorilla. It was as if the brain said: I already know this and erased the gorilla. The brain deletes what it does not consider to be significant and those data are not stored in memory. That literally shapes our opinion about reality, which may significantly differ from what scientists actually measure. On average 11 million signals received y the retina of which 4 million are processed; the brain filters out more than half of the data that enters the brain! The difference is constructed by what the brain expects and what it has got.....

Information on the 'Rubber Hand Illusion', which appears to be the actual topic related to these types of neurological experiments. Here are the key points regarding that phenomenon: What it is: The Rubber Hand Illusion is a classic experiment used in neuroscience to study body ownership. It demonstrates how easily the brain’s perception of the body can be manipulated.
The Procedure: A participant’s real hand is hidden from view while a realistic, fake rubber hand is placed in front of them. The researcher then strokes both the hidden real hand and the visible fake hand simultaneously.
The Brain's Reaction: Because the visual input (seeing the fake hand being touched) matches the tactile sensation (feeling the touch on the real hand), the brain often becomes convinced that the rubber hand is actually part of the person's own body.
Physical Consequences: Some research indicates that this illusion is so potent that it can cause measurable physiological changes, such as a drop in the temperature of the participant's real, hidden hand.
Significance: This experiment serves as a way for scientists to explore the "malleability" of our sense of self and how visual capture works in the human brain.
Following up on this Rubber Hand Illusion, in Denmark a plastic mannequin was shown to an observer. The brain does not distinguish between who a person is and what is shown to him or her. What was done to the mannequin the observer felt and became aware of. The brain makes no distinction. The part - the hand - or - the entire body - the mannequin makes no difference; the brain processes reality and the test person can not distinguish between who (s)he is and what (s)he sees happening to the outside mannequin subject, that undergoes imposed actions to a subject separate from the observer. The brain does not only process what we see, but also influences our feelings and as a result our decisions. 'Seeing is believing' depends on how and for what reason the brain processes reality before passing it on to our awareness and hence affecting what we perceive and decide.


In an fMRI scan research conducted by John-Dylan Hayne in which it was measured that the prefrontal motor cortex prepared actions a varying period of time of up to 15 seconds (!) before the actions were carried out by the research subject. The fact was prepared long before the action was taken, leading to the question who or what did in fact made the choice? Supposedly the brain decides when to act or not. The latter can delay or put off the motion, which means humans have the capacity to veto a brain induced action. The brain always processes data to make a decision, but the veto is an option that people have. This thin sliver of intervention is our only option to block the preparatory processing of the brain. The intervention however, is generated by the brain as well - the brain telling the brain to stop filtering and processing..... So, to arrive at the decision to veto, people have to make use of their brain as well, regardless if the decision to veto was triggered by a logical reasoning or by an intuition driven impulse.

Benjamin Libet made the subjects  jump off a virtual 30 metre elevation to find out if they were able to say how long they felt an experience lasted. In their fear induced fall that lasted 3 seconds, the test subjects recalled the event lasted 8 seconds as if time slowed down in the density of the moment of overwhelming fear. But those merely were their feelings, because time did not slow down. What they felt during the research has caused them to recall that it took more time than the event actually did. So, the time we feel, is not the amount of time it took for an event to end. The brain can assign a much longer (or shorter) time to experienced events or even completely erase them, including the length of time for them to occur, from memory. What is left is our processed recollection stored in our brain of what it tells us that took place and how long events lasted, that probably will affect our decision making process.

I will leave it at this, since there are a shedload of experiments that show that what humans think that happened, is an image processed and filtered by the brain, in which events are increased or decreased in time or erased from memory. In addition the information that is contained in the links on this page require enough of the reader's time to absorb. But remember, what you think you see, is not what you must have seen when no processing or filtering has taken place most of the time. The brain processing filter is able to alter or remove whatever data it thinks is necessary for our consciousness. Reality is as fluent as linear / cyclical time is and for that matter every parameter known in physics. We can only be absolutely certain of the fact that nothing is certain, not just as a result of the human brain's activity, but also because of the endless fluency of the quantum field that includes every extreme possibility and everything in between them to an extent that lies far beyond the scope of human beings to understand.

Love versus space time



Time. The most illusive phenomenon on earth as perceived by humankind. No one understands it thoroughly, most have no clue of what it is whatsoever and few have an faint estimation of what it might be. Every form of life and every object on the planet however, obeys time. The cycles of seasons and the rhythm of day and night nothing escapes the rule of time. Linear, sequential time.

The synonym for time comes from the Greek word Chronos, the personification of time. Chronos was a serpentine three headed god in Pre-Socratic perception. The heads were that of a man, a bull and a lion. Chronos' consort was the serpentine Ananke (necessity), the personification of destiny, necessity and fate. Together they are Time and Fate who ruled the material universe from the beginning of time and who are beyond the reach of all younger gods. It means those gods were unable to change anything determined by Chronos and Ananke.



Chronos, the not so benevolent Father Time



Many things are hidden in deeper meanings, which is often (partially) revealed by etymology – the origin of words. It is believed that Ananke is related to Tekmor (godess of ordinance or authoritive rule) and the Moirae (Clotho - the spinner, Lachesis - the alloter and Atropos - the inevitable / unturnable). The meaning of the word Tekmor, a primordial goddess in Greek mythology, is boundary, goal or purpose – the properties of fractals that repeat patterns in every scale of structure. Moira means part, lot and fate, perceptions related to that of Tekmor.



Ananke - necessity / fate



What we see occurring after the Big Bang – the state of the universe after the primal situation, the Orphic Egg, is that matter is fragmented and flooded by time. The original oneness of the whole (singularity) ceased to exist. Chronos and Ananke no longer constricted everything contained within the Orphic Egg and earth, heaven and sea came to be. Separation or fragmentation and the rule of linear, sequential time began at the same instant that both enabled and maintained the event.



The Orphic Egg, symbolizing the singularity before space time



Billions of years later Cronus or Kronos (also known as Saturn) appeared in space time as is described in Greek mythology. Cronus was the son of Uranus (symbol of heaven) and Gaia (symbol of earth). He became the king of his siblings, the Titans who were huge, immortal beings of enormous strength that were the first gods in the Greek / Roman pantheon of deities after killing his father on order of his mother. While dying Uranus predicted that Cronus would die by the hand of his son, like he died by being castrated by Cronus' scythe.



Saturn / Cronus castrating his dad Uranus per request of his mom Gaia



In an attempt to prevent his father's prediction from becoming true, Cronus ate all his children immediately after they were born... His wife and sister Rhea wrapped a stone in cloth after the birth of his son Zeus and presented it to Cronus who swallowed the stone thinking it was Zeus. Zeus later killed his father like he killed his thereby fulfilling Uranus' prediction.

that is devoured by Cronus who thinks it is
his new born son Zeus who will later kill him




Strangely Cronus was said to have ruled the Golden Age. It is difficult to imagine how an incestuous being (he married his sister Rhea) who murdered and ate his own children could have ruled a period that would be referred to as the Golden Age... Just as it is equally difficult to envisage that the three headed serpent Chronos who lived with Ananke who as Tekmor and / or the Moirae were personifications of separation and fate, would have contributed in a positive way to this universe. The abhorring conduct of the ancient 'gods' is continued in every detail by present-day royalty and appointed rulers, by the way.

The primordial Orphic Egg symbolized everything inside nothing, the absence of space and time. Chronos and Ananke caused that situation to end and Cronus and Rhea, like their parents Uranus and Gaia, created the foundation for the miserable state of today's earth by creating time and space. Tekmor's and Moira's boundary, part, lot, goal and fate are opposite to the situation in the Orphic Egg in which everything simply exists, not submitted to the dimensions of space and time.

Time and space enable violence, fear, hate, perversity etc. to come to be. It also allows Love to be. The feeling more powerful than mortals, immortals and gods. It will conquer all power by renouncing power that feeds hierarchy, which maintains the fragmentation that can exist only in space time. Love is universal, omnipresent and unifying, but it requires great effort to feel. It is not infatuation, crush or lust, but a feeling that has the power and potential to penetrate and vanquish every particle, wave and instant of awareness.

Love requires effort, study, being sincere and perseverance and the undying help of Love itself to make space and time cease to exist. It is a universal law beyond the reach of incestuous, murderous, deceiving and cannibalistic would be gods that have started a war they can never win. The reason of this is that every force has a counter force. Any force that causes a transient unbalance also deforms the space in which the counter force manifests, thereby adding more energy to it than it originally possessed. It is a principle described by Alan Guth in a book he wrote called the 'Inflationary Universe'.

This universal principle comes down to this: Deforming space is causing tension, which is energy, which is therefore added to the suppressed force it contains. So which ever force tries to take the upper hand will be antagonized with even greater counter forces. Within the realms of aware and sincere forces this principle is understood; they will always look for harmony and sustainability. It is also understood that they will bounce back even if it appears they have been squashed almost out of existence. It is what is taking place now in many places in this world: The cost of oppression is getting out of hand, the resistance to it is amassing and the determination among the oppressed to fight their unjust rulers is getting stronger with each instant while it is becoming increasingly clear that the days of the oppressive forces are numbered.


Note:
As your awareness expands by learning more as a result of gaining information and processing it using your own mind, you may notice your perceptions change and reality as perceived before no longer exists. The development of this process may eventually lead you to other worlds, to different dimensions and in some cases perhaps make you completely disappear from the dimension you were previously in. You entering the new dimension does not mean the old one has ceased to exist.

The ones with whom you once shared similar perceptions remained in the realm that you left behind, still perceiving matters as you used to do. Dimensions are worlds in which perceptions are shared, not necessarily compliant ones, but they share a foundation in essence even if views seem to be opposed. Consequently there is probably an area of overlapping awareness, assuming that any type of borders exist at all. It may just be the extent of perception that determines in which dimension you observe and communicate that is not marked by birth or death.

Entering higher realms inevitably bestows more powers to entities that have made that transition. Direct interference in lower realms is often impossible or not allowed because the bigger process of gaining momentum is part of universal law and strategy to retaliate the inharmonious and unsustainable forces. The gods of old and their present-day heirs (spawn) have started to dug their own grave from the instant the began to strive for power. One from which they will never rise again.

Have a nice day.
