I'm sorry this guy is proposing fanciful ideas so obscure that they cannot be objectively defined and tested. Oh wow! But doesn't it sound cool. Whatever. Dream on.
why on earth have you had no experience with psychedelics? i imagine you would benefit from such an experience more than anyone. psilocybin changed my life. it brought ALL of these concepts you speak of to light in such a tangible and experiential way that I was left in utter awe. it's one thing to understand all this...but to experience it...is a gift from nature to help awaken us. i always thought psychedelics just made things "trippy" but it's SO much more...poignant than that. it's worth it.
When he spoke about I Am the Walrus, I had deja vu. I swear I had seen this video before, but I know I haven't. What an interesting time to experience this sensation.
I had an interesting dream/vision that involved me traveling out of my body to the edge of the known universe where a window allowed me to peer outside of the known universe. When I peered through the window, I was surprised to see a reflection of myself looking at myself. We are all a universe! We all have a universe inside us!!
@tellyisrubbish what if its not actualy traveling any where? what if the question you should be asking is "when"? what if there is no distance? what if there is only here?
Perhaps our selves and our Universe is best understood under the influence of a halucenogenic drug because the truth is so strange that ordinary thinking could never grasp it unless one can transcend what the waking consciousness sees as reality. What we call reality may be only the shadow world of a way more crazy kind of reality that to us in ordinary consciousness, well we could never even imagine. Truth is stranger than fiction, way stranger and maybe stranger than we can imagine.
bla bla bla get to the part about life after and before death and the floor of it all that gives us ground to walk on. i spent to much time wacthing this.
Maybe but a drug OD on PCP in 1994 showed me all he's talking about. I've explained all this hundreds of time to people around me. But for all i knew i was going crazy or i was living with people to imbeded in all religions or false beliefs on what we really are in this part of the multiverse. And this only the start of the knowledge being unleashed by the understanding of theses matters.

The problem with this theory is that the known universe is finite, which means that the infinite electron posibilities cannot be allowed. This single electron theory turns out to be dysfunctional.
Are you talking about the cosmological horizon? It appears to be accepted that there is much much more to our spacetime universe than what we can see. And just because we can't see it because the light hasn't had time to reach us yet, doesn't mean it isn't there.
So yes, the known universe is finite, but that's not all there is.
If you see this universe not as a created universe, but a CREATING universe, the question of time goes out the window. What then is finite. If Prime Mover just keeps on creating always the only thing I can imagine is that with each newest universe, the process gets more refined. Walter Russell's book "The Secret of Light" which I read on my channel talks about Light. I also can send that book to anyone interested as it is in my Google files.
From chemistry and physics we know that all of the atoms in the universe came from hydrogen and helium formed after the 'Big Bang.'
The heavier elements came from fusion reactions within stars - and all the elements heavier than iron (Fe) came from 'supernova,' the explosion of big stars.
That means the iron in our blood and the carbon in our brain all came from dead stars.
In fact, all the atoms in our body and on earth came from stars that blew up billions of years ago.
You're absolutely right! This is one of the ideas I talk about in my book. And coincidentally I quote that section from my book in my new video blog entry that just went up, "Happy Birthday Paul".
"And as bubbles of awareness dancing on the ocean of existence..."
@goog2k Awareness expresses itself as a dialectic of inseparable distinctions or what science calls a non-linear field of relations where absolute subjectivity (ocean) is neither separate from the world & its contents (bubbles) nor merged in indistinct unity with them. The field is always a field of events, never an abstract field of consciousness-in-itself. Events are always within a field, never detached things-in-themselves
@MySocksSmell2 Thanks for your comment. I won't disagree. But that's not the point.
I'm not trying explain consciousness scientifically or psychologically.
However, existentially, my metaphor is still quite apropos. Our "awareness" is like a bubble of consciousness on the vast ocean of unconscious matter & energy.
Each of us, as a bubble of awareness, is this cosmos become awake.
Carl Sagan said, "We are star stuff" and "a way for the cosmos to know itself."
@goog2k The idea of the cosmos knowing itself reminds me of the Big Wow theory of Italian theoretical astrophysicist Paola Zizzi who wrote on emergent consciousness. Existentially, I think knowing the "self" is important in avoiding alienation. To me, an unfragmented self means seeing the bubbles as elements of a field being inseparable from the ocean of awareness in which they arise. Bubbles & ocean are both "awareness" viewed from different perspectives like a circle is both concave & convex.
@MySocksSmell2 Well, D.T. Suzuki, the renown Japanese scholar called our ground of being, the "great unconscious."
In theoretical Buddhism it's usually called Sunyata or "emptiness" (empty of any fixed thing.) In Zen it's usually called shin, "Mind," "No-mind." or "Nothingness." LOL!!!
My favorite name is just "nature."
The western word "spirit" actually comes from L. "spiritus," soul, courage, vigor, breath, related to "spirare," to breathe.
"So, I ask you, where does your breath come from?"
@goog2k Qi/chi = prana = psyche/pneuma = spiritus = soul/Seele = fluid, flowing ‘breath’ or ‘air’. My best guess is that breath comes from the oscillation of polarities, whether one calls them yin/yang, purusha/prakriti, Shiva/Shakti, dynamis/energeia, spirit/matter, etc. Where awareness goes, Qi flows. The abdomen or hara is like the ocean of awareness. As Laozi said, "Extend farthest toward the void holding steadiest to the tranquility."
@goog2k I'd say all experienced selves or subjects of awareness, like all thoughts & things they experience in their awareness, are nothing but localized "selvings" of a non-local field. I am the known arising in the field knower; not a self having awareness but a self who "is" awareness. The being of all things recognized in awareness depends on awareness, which is more primordial than the "I" that's consciously aware. "I" = a non-fixed pattern, presencing or gestalt of IT.
@MySocksSmell2 Thanks, that's very good, but still a lot of intellectual gobbledegook.
A Zen Master would laugh and hit you with a stick.
Please (just temporarily) let go of all of your concepts & ideas. For just a moment break out of your intellectual, dualistic, ego-imprisoned, thought-ridden mind.
Be very quiet and still -- throw away your dualistic, thinking mind.
Just return to simple PURE AWARENESS - pure being.
After you've returned to silent, still awareness, then -
@goog2k Pt.1. Buddhism substitutes identification with awareness as such (Anuttara) with awakening (budh) to emptiness. It's true awareness of self cannot be the property of any self or ego with awareness (even a mindful or witnessing self), but Buddhism fails to recognize awareness is identical with that Atman which does not have but IS awareness. The recognitive character of awareness is a relation of inseparable distinction between IT & its self -recognition in all there is to be aware of.
@goog2k Pt. 2. To speak in Buddhist terms of the mind's continuous ascertainment of emptiness is to create a dualism of mind & awareness, to privilege mind over emptiness & affirm emptiness itself, rather than pure awareness as Absolute. Just as space is both INSEPARABLE FROM & DISTINCT FROM all objects in it, so is awareness DISTINCT from all its contents to be aware of, which means it doesn't need to be emptied of content to be clear & pure. It's full of potential to form patterns, not empty.
@goog2k Pt. 3. Instead of asserting the subject & object are one, the Buddhist expression of non-duality simply denied the subject (not self), which is ontologically lopsided. Since subject & object are interdependent, the subject cannot be eliminated without transforming the nature of the object & vice-versa. Being aware of this, Advaita Vedanta denies the object, as in Brahman is One without a second. My view is more Tantric & dialectical. Self & other are like concentric poles of a magnet.
You're very articulate and I'm sure you've studied a lot, but -
"Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do NOT collect $200."
I know you mean well, but if you keep talking like that -- still completely wrapped up & bound by your analytical, dualistic, (ego-centered) thinking mind, you "Don't even have a clue!" -- and you never will.
@goog2k I can use the good luck. All I wish to finally say is that I cannot treat (Chit) as if it were (Buddhi) nor treat awareness as if it were mindfulness. Thanks for the stimulating dialogue.
Are you saying this from experience? Don't get me wrong, drugs aren't the only way you can have a meaningful personal experience, but if you've never done them, you don't even know, not even close. Nothing can substitute that experience.
Not to sound crazy or anything, but everything you talk about on your vids, I pretty much experienced it when I was on MDMA if you kinda could understand what im saying, like I felt the unitiy of life itself, it was amazing and very shamanic. As well as I saw things like the flower of life and metatrons cube and had all sorts of crazy dreams for a week not even understanding what it all meant and little by little im starting to comprehend it. It just blew my mind. Thanks for posting!
@goog2k Well done you have basic knowledge and yes we've all been here since the beginning of the universe as we know it something like 13.7 billion years ago we have and im sure we'll still be floating around another 13.7 billion years from now.
Not every video will resonate with every person, which is just fine, because we each have our own "grid" that makes us unique. If you liked this one, you might also enjoy "Where Are You?"
I died on the operating table 6 yrs ago. No white light, no tunnel, no relatives there to meet me. I was in a place of perfect peace & joy, surrounded by other sentient beings. I knew that we'd all known each other & everything about each other forever, and all loved one another. My overwhelming sense when I returned was how connected we are all, and how every person who walked into my room is connected to every other. I can't wait to die again!
" i had lived every life that there was to have lived"
i swear i had this exact same idea before i saw this vlog... i think we are all destined to live in eternity and to live every life, in the past, present, and future, that there possibly can be. thanks for expressing such universal ideas so eloquently
I really enjoyed this one and it will give me something to chew on for a while. Adds a whole new meaning to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"... because you are :) Can you imagine a world where people actually believed they were helping themselves when helping others.
The point Feynman (and his advisor John Wheeler) were trying to make is that all electrons are absolutely identical. This fanciful idea was considered and discarded, but it was useful because it was another good example of how physicists for the past century have been thinking about reality from "outside" of time, from the place where, as Einstein said, the distinction between past present and future is an illusion - and that's what we're thinking about in this entry.
in short: universe is not expanding, just everything is shrinking...
If you don't think I'm crazy, I can have so much to talk about. Like how the 1st particle creates "TIME" in the 1st place. The creation sequence should be: 1->0->2->4... Give me a message if you are interested~ :D
In fact, I have my own "1 particle universe" theory just some months ago. I made that concept since I asked the same question: why every particle is the same~
But unlike you guys, I don't think there is any BIG BANG at all. The fact should be: Every"THING" are shrinking in (more or less)the same speed since they are all in all the same single particle...
And why the "god particle" shrink all the time, is related to the start of time(I can explain later :D).
sorry. I JUST RANDOMLY PICKED VIDOES. PLEASE DON'T READ IT. I'M SO SORRY. PLEASE DON`T READ THIS you will die in seven days if you don`t post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do, tomorrow will be the best day of your life
So we should explore this into further dimensions. Most people often see time as one way or another, but it's not, that's why there are 3 dimensions of time. It may be that matter is omnidirectional, and on top of that, you may get matter traveling in the 7th and above dimensions, creating atoms in all those possible universes. this means that our big bang may have just been an occurrence where the electron hits the same place at the same time every time within the 6th dimension.
Yes, that's a good way of thinking about our reality from the timeless perspective - everything has already happened simultaneously within timelessness, but that wave function of possible expressions of our universe is so incredibly rich that this still allows for free will. Other vlogs about this:
So it's like, we have our universe, then we have the anti-universe that is in the opposite directions us. It may likely be nearly identical to ours even, since the path may be somewhat symmetrical.
Right! But this also requires us to accept that there is more than one past, more than one way of getting to the "now" we're in - the spacetime tree's branches of possible futures also has its complex root system of possible pasts, and this ties nicely to Feynman's "sum over paths" calculation. Blogs about this:
There's also a Baha'i "mystical" text known as the Seven Valleys, about seven levels of spiritual advancement. (I'm not trying to promote my religion, because I'm really not very religious, but I just thought this was interesting. A lot of religious texts from around the world seem to have "intuited" what science is proving or starting to prove today.) Great song, by the way!
Another new set of connections I hadn't heard about! That's fantastic. As I've said many times, the point of this project is to find a meeting ground where science and faith can agree that ultimately they are talking about the same thing. I talk about this in blog entries like "Daily Parrying".
Thanks so much for your input, terransage. Have you spent any time over at the tenth dimension forum? There's a philosophical/spiritual area there, your input would be most welcome!
No, I haven't, but I'll check it out. Yesterday all I had on my mind was Many Worlds Interpretation and single electron theory, so I googled them and found myself getting deeper into a universe far stranger than I ever imagined. If Many Worlds is true, that really calls into question who "I" am, who "we" are. We can be both dead, alive and possibly, in some universes, where death has been staved off by science, even immortal. And when we die here, we can have an "afterlife" somewhere else.
Sorry to bring my religion into this, but this relates to my religious background, the Baha'i Faith, which was founded in 1844, in Persia (Iran). One of the principles of the Faith is the full agreement of science and religion. Another principle is that we are all one. Humanity is described as "leaves of one tree, drops of one ocean," which reminds me a little of fractal geometry. In fact the single electron theory seems to echo what's going on in fractal geometry, to my mind, anyway.
we will understand why people act and do the things they do...once we knew ourselves. we interact with other version of our own self...we see our own self inside the others...
OMG! the phrase - "Optical Delusion of Consciousness"...was used for several thousands of years by Ancient Indian mystics (in books of knowledge called, the Upanishads)...it keeps occuring in many places in our scriptures and it is called MAAYA...the mystics call the entire Universe as an illusion to us..the only thing real is the GOd or Brahma..who is in the 10th dimension..again the significance of 10 or 0 also cannot be missed out as it occurs in many places in our scriptures.
Fascinating. Do you think there's any chance Einstein knew about the Upanishads when he used that phrase?
And I agree with you completely about ten and zero having many other resonances. Twelve also comes up often, the only way that I can easily insert twelve into this way of visualizing is to say that there are twelve directions in the sixth dimension, and all possibilities for our particular universe are a wave function across the 6th dimension.
I think so..he was in constant contact with many Indian personalities of that time - Ravindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi = to name two. But i am not sure if he ever read Upanishads. But several of his German scientific, philospher and politial contemporaries definitely had knoweldge of these books...in fact there were some dubious uses to which some of this knowledge was put - apparently, Rudolph Hess, evinced a lot of interest on Indian Astrology so much so that he got Hitler's chart drawn..
You talk about anti particular or something. ( sorry for bad english, I just started writing this language.) I think this is a picture of man, and women. We are exactly opposite. Only a man that is 100% maskulin will attract a 100% feminin woman. And we all know that a man can't be fullfilled without a woman. And vise verca. I think that a man will only be his strongest when he has learned to love his weaknesses.( his female self, that is.)
Yes, this project talks about this "binary" viewpoint a lot - dividing things up into on/off, up/down, male/female, and so on is something we are naturally drawn to. But this project also keeps returning to the idea that relates so nicely to quantum mechanics, that there is always a third state to consider, which is that zen-like "both/neither". I talk about this in my video blog "Jake Kotze and Mystical Numbers", have you seen that one?
I have just seen two of youre vids man. But i will definately check out the rest of them and, try to be get smarter. hehe! But now I have to get rid of a hangover. Keep it up.
i just thought i'd comment on this, everything i've seen in your videos was very informing and i thank you soo much for doing so! when i first dropped lsd i didn't many visuals so i closed my eyes and explored my mind, it is there i found out the universe lies within my consciousness and we're all one. many things i have seen durring those nights have been COVERED already in your blogs such as dimensions and whatever else haha. i just thank you soo very much for doing what you do peace n love

Great way to start the day..and although i have taken many substances to try to see into these other levels your song explained it better than any of them did....are you familiar with the artist Alex Grey? please look at his work.Thanks Again
Yes, I like Alex Grey and I respect what he's trying to do: finding those underlying connections - as you may have surmised I feel a strong affinity for that kind of stuff :D .
Question is, how do we break into the 5th dimension? What type of craft would we use? How could we fold the space-time continum?

I'd say our breath "originally" comes from that same ocean which is the source of matter & energy, the Big Bang -- and our “bubbles” of consciousness.
(BTW, it's the same “Ground of being” whether we call it Nature, Tao, Brahman, Sunyata, God, Allah, Holy Spirit or Great Spirit.)
Where did the the Big Bang come from? or the Quantum Field? Where did Time & Space come from?

The being of all things recognized in awareness depends on awareness, which is more primordial than the "I" that's consciously aware. "I" = a non-fixed pattern, presencing or gestalt of IT.

@MySocksSmell2 Thanks, that's very good, but still a lot of intellectual gobbledegook.
A Zen Master would laugh and hit you with a stick.
Please (just temporarily) let go of all of your concepts & ideas. For just a moment break out of your intellectual, dualistic, ego-imprisoned, thought-ridden mind.
Be very quiet and still -- throw away your dualistic, thinking mind.
Just return to simple PURE AWARENESS - pure being.
After you've returned to silent, still awareness, then -
"What are YOU?"

@goog2k Pt.1. Buddhism substitutes identification with awareness as such (Anuttara) with awakening (budh) to emptiness. It's true awareness of self cannot be the property of any self or ego with awareness (even a mindful or witnessing self), but Buddhism fails to recognize awareness is identical with that Atman which does not have but IS awareness. The recognitive character of awareness is a relation of inseparable distinction between IT & its self -recognition in all there is to be aware of.
MySocksSmell2 10 months ago
@goog2k Pt. 2. To speak in Buddhist terms of the mind's continuous ascertainment of emptiness is to create a dualism of mind & awareness, to privilege mind over emptiness & affirm emptiness itself, rather than pure awareness as Absolute. Just as space is both INSEPARABLE FROM & DISTINCT FROM all objects in it, so is awareness DISTINCT from all its contents to be aware of, which means it doesn't need to be emptied of content to be clear & pure. It's full of potential to form patterns, not empty.
MySocksSmell2 10 months ago
@goog2k Pt. 3. Instead of asserting the subject & object are one, the Buddhist expression of non-duality simply denied the subject (not self), which is ontologically lopsided. Since subject & object are interdependent, the subject cannot be eliminated without transforming the nature of the object & vice-versa. Being aware of this, Advaita Vedanta denies the object, as in Brahman is One without a second. My view is more Tantric & dialectical. Self & other are like concentric poles of a magnet.

@MySocksSmell2 Wow! LOL!!!
You're very articulate and I'm sure you've studied a lot, but -
"Go to jail. Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do NOT collect $200."
I know you mean well, but if you keep talking like that -- still completely wrapped up & bound by your analytical, dualistic, (ego-centered) thinking mind, you "Don't even have a clue!" -- and you never will.
Please re-read my previous post.
Good luck.

@goog2k I can use the good luck. All I wish to finally say is that I cannot treat (Chit) as if it were (Buddhi) nor treat awareness as if it were mindfulness. Thanks for the stimulating dialogue.
MySocksSmell2 10 months ago
@MySocksSmell2 Thanks, you're a true, sincere seeker.
But please, just sit a 90-day silent retreat (or more) - No talking, No reading, No writing. (LOL)
Please let go of your discriminating, ego-centered THINKING mind (just temporarily).
Simply return to your "Original Mind" of pure awareness & pure being - at least for a little while.
I guarantee your mind will quiet down and you will experience REALITY beyond words.
BTW, I don't dispute your intellectual arguments.
They're just not relevant.

You should try shrooms or acid once. Why not? There's plenty of paths through the 5th dimension where it benefitted you!
I have done shrooms, and it really helps you to FEEL alot of the ideas you speak of with your whole body.

I died on the operating table 6 yrs ago. No white light, no tunnel, no relatives there to meet me. I was in a place of perfect peace & joy, surrounded by other sentient beings. I knew that we'd all known each other & everything about each other forever, and all loved one another. My overwhelming sense when I returned was how connected we are all, and how every person who walked into my room is connected to every other. I can't wait to die again!

but i do have a question.
if the universe has only one electron then why how does atoms exchange electrons to become ions and different charges?
PivotKC 3 years ago
The point Feynman (and his advisor John Wheeler) were trying to make is that all electrons are absolutely identical. This fanciful idea was considered and discarded, but it was useful because it was another good example of how physicists for the past century have been thinking about reality from "outside" of time, from the place where, as Einstein said, the distinction between past present and future is an illusion - and that's what we're thinking about in this entry.

in short: universe is not expanding, just everything is shrinking...
If you don't think I'm crazy, I can have so much to talk about. Like how the 1st particle creates "TIME" in the 1st place. The creation sequence should be: 1->0->2->4... Give me a message if you are interested~ :D
zea430 3 years ago
In fact, I have my own "1 particle universe" theory just some months ago. I made that concept since I asked the same question: why every particle is the same~
But unlike you guys, I don't think there is any BIG BANG at all. The fact should be: Every"THING" are shrinking in (more or less)the same speed since they are all in all the same single particle...
And why the "god particle" shrink all the time, is related to the start of time(I can explain later :D).

So we should explore this into further dimensions. Most people often see time as one way or another, but it's not, that's why there are 3 dimensions of time. It may be that matter is omnidirectional, and on top of that, you may get matter traveling in the 7th and above dimensions, creating atoms in all those possible universes. this means that our big bang may have just been an occurrence where the electron hits the same place at the same time every time within the 6th dimension.
esepc40991 3 years ago
Yes, that's a good way of thinking about our reality from the timeless perspective - everything has already happened simultaneously within timelessness, but that wave function of possible expressions of our universe is so incredibly rich that this still allows for free will. Other vlogs about this:

So it's like, we have our universe, then we have the anti-universe that is in the opposite directions us. It may likely be nearly identical to ours even, since the path may be somewhat symmetrical.
esepc40991 3 years ago
Right! But this also requires us to accept that there is more than one past, more than one way of getting to the "now" we're in - the spacetime tree's branches of possible futures also has its complex root system of possible pasts, and this ties nicely to Feynman's "sum over paths" calculation.

There's also a Baha'i "mystical" text known as the Seven Valleys, about seven levels of spiritual advancement. (I'm not trying to promote my religion, because I'm really not very religious, but I just thought this was interesting. A lot of religious texts from around the world seem to have "intuited" what science is proving or starting to prove today.) Great song, by the way!

Another new set of connections I hadn't heard about! That's fantastic. As I've said many times, the point of this project is to find a meeting ground where science and faith can agree that ultimately they are talking about the same thing. I talk about this in blog entries like "Daily Parrying".
Thanks so much for your input, terransage. Have you spent any time over at the tenth dimension forum? There's a philosophical/spiritual area there, your input would be most welcome!
Rob
10thdim 3 years ago
No, I haven't, but I'll check it out. Yesterday all I had on my mind was Many Worlds Interpretation and single electron theory, so I googled them and found myself getting deeper into a universe far stranger than I ever imagined. If Many Worlds is true, that really calls into question who "I" am, who "we" are. We can be both dead, alive and possibly, in some universes, where death has been staved off by science, even immortal. And when we die here, we can have an "afterlife" somewhere else.
terransage 3 years ago
Sorry to bring my religion into this, but this relates to my religious background, the Baha'i Faith, which was founded in 1844, in Persia (Iran). One of the principles of the Faith is the full agreement of science and religion. Another principle is that we are all one. Humanity is described as "leaves of one tree, drops of one ocean," which reminds me a little of fractal geometry. In fact the single electron theory seems to echo what's going on in fractal geometry, to my mind, anyway.

OMG! the phrase - "Optical Delusion of Consciousness"...was used for several thousands of years by Ancient Indian mystics (in books of knowledge called, the Upanishads)...it keeps occuring in many places in our scriptures and it is called MAAYA...the mystics call the entire Universe as an illusion to us..the only thing real is the GOd or Brahma..who is in the 10th dimension..again the significance of 10 or 0 also cannot be missed out as it occurs in many places in our scriptures.
mERUSAVARNI 3 years ago
Fascinating. Do you think there's any chance Einstein knew about the Upanishads when he used that phrase?
And I agree with you completely about ten and zero having many other resonances. Twelve also comes up often, the only way that I can easily insert twelve into this way of visualizing is to say that there are twelve directions in the sixth dimension, and all possibilities for our particular universe are a wave function across the 6th dimension.
Good to hear from you, thanks for writing!
Rob
10thdim 3 years ago
I think so..he was in constant contact with many Indian personalities of that time - Ravindranath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi = to name two. But i am not sure if he ever read Upanishads. But several of his German scientific, philospher and politial contemporaries definitely had knoweldge of these books...in fact there were some dubious uses to which some of this knowledge was put - apparently, Rudolph Hess, evinced a lot of interest on Indian Astrology so much so that he got Hitler's chart drawn..

You talk about anti particular or something. ( sorry for bad english, I just started writing this language.) I think this is a picture of man, and women. We are exactly opposite. Only a man that is 100% maskulin will attract a 100% feminin woman. And we all know that a man can't be fullfilled without a woman. And vise verca. I think that a man will only be his strongest when he has learned to love his weaknesses.( his female self, that is.)

Yes, this project talks about this "binary" viewpoint a lot - dividing things up into on/off, up/down, male/female, and so on is something we are naturally drawn to. But this project also keeps returning to the idea that relates so nicely to quantum mechanics, that there is always a third state to consider, which is that zen-like "both/neither". I talk about this in my video blog "Jake Kotze and Mystical Numbers", have you seen that one?
