<center><h2><b>An Infinity Of Abstractions</b></h2></center>

<center>It was whilst writing a previous post that I remembered some of my previous musings relating to similarities between the human cortex and the universal mind.  Add some ancient perspectives on this concept, sprinkle in some aspects of Ralph Abrahams complexity theory, add some Terence Mckenna novelty theory and stir with my own original thoughts and expansions then stand back and wallah we have my latest abstractions post!  In this series I throw my ideological, conspiratorial and theological concerns out the window, kick around a few ideas and allow my mind to explore infinite possibility.  Equally it's an abstraction so just because I write it doesn't mean I believe every word.  It has some truths interwoven with some out there ideas, so most importantly don't take it too seriously!  It's an imagination excercise, literal psychedelia to nourish the minds of those numbed by the nonsensical nature of newspeak.</center>

<center>This abstractions series wil range from the profound to the absurd, although depending upon your perception the two become interchangeable.  Indeed the perceptions you start reading with might not be the ones you end with.  You ready? Well strap yourselves in because we’re taking a journey into infinity .. and beyond?  Curse you Buzz Lightyear!!.</center>

<center><h2><b>The Macro & The Micro</b></h2></center>

<center>When observing the universe we have a tendency to place a focus upon the immediate vicinity, the micro workings of this macro cosmos of creation and wonder.  But are we missing a bigger picture? Is this approach akin to not seeing the wood for the trees?  Indeed when thinking about the concept of a universal mind this cosmological brain only begins to reveal itself when we take a big step back and observe it in full context.  Once viewed in this context we can begin to glimpse at the similarities between the cosmos and the human cortex.</center>

<center>![Abstract25.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbcjSB9PiNXkMxjBiwhgjXicRXdNaYFoBY7qv3mnXGKka/Abstract25.jpg)</center>[Source](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwisnbuIp4fYAhVHBcAKHbGzCaQQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stillnessinthestorm.com%2F2017%2F07%2Fthe-will-to-self-mastery-the-health-body-earth-based-philosophy.html&psig=AOvVaw10NptsDbOuljKw99aExsm9&ust=1513264013338955)

<center><h2><b>The All Is In The Mind & The Mind Is In The All</b></h2></center>

<center>Are our brains quite literally an inner universe? a micro representation of a macro cosmological mind.  Our bodies as cells and our minds as braincells within the one mind. Individual expressions of a unified quantum consciousness that’s observing it’s own creation.  Dreams in the mind of God.</center>

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/xT9IgLK2J4jrLC1KaA/giphy.gif</center>

<center>When looking into the cosmological aspects of the ancient esoteric and Hermetic universe perceptions this is a concept that arises frequently.  Within these traditions it’s often stated that “The all is mind” or that if “we are one then one is we”.  Indeed when pondering these statements it’s easy to understand how they believed the universe to be a mental projection.  The sum of all human knowledge feeding into and drawing from an infinite cosmological mind.</center>

<center>![Abstract29.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ92ALv9o1JM7dbGk57x9tVYUXvJfAVnV4yQwHw5tKcnH/Abstract29.jpg)</center>[Source](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiiiNbLsofYAhWhKsAKHXQoBKkQjRwIBw&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsciencentechheads.blogspot.com%2F2011%2F07%2Fultimate-field-guide-to-subatomic.html&psig=AOvVaw1IHPZQ0KUbhgB8gnN-IUQJ&ust=1513268468947533)


<center><h2><b>Sub-Atomic Intelligence</b></h2></center>

<center>When we fast forward to a scientific perspective it’s interesting how many people are beginning to openly discuss the concept of some kind unified consciousness.  It’s also interesting to note that in 1957 the Nobel Prize was handed to the physicists Chen Ning Yang & Tsung Dao Lee for their work in highlighting the intelligence of sub-atomic particles.  Indeed the level of mathematical laws governing the world of the humble atom is beyond breathtaking.  The ways in which these sub-atomic particles interact and communicate is incredibly complicated.  For me this opens up an arena of thought relating to the universe as some form of complexity driving force, but more on that later.</center>

<center><h2><b>Galaxies As Neurons</b></h2></center>

<center>But back to the human neo cortex, perhaps the pinnacle of cosmological creation.  The brain comprises of roughly 100 trillion connections interspersed by 100 billion neurons.  In the context of these observations the neurons aspect is profoundly interesting.  It’s interesting because the number of galaxies in the known universe is calculated to be .. yes you’ve guessed it 100 billion!!</center>  

<center>In my moments of reflection I sometimes wonder if our knowledge and intellectual exploration/understanding of the universe is somehow linked to the expansion of neural pathways & consciousness?</center>

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/3ov9kaQC1boD67UpNe/giphy.gif</center>

<center>But where was I? Oh yes, galaxies often group together into vastly complex superstructures (clusters/superclusters).  In the essence of this post we can think of these superstructures as brain neurons.  On the periphery of these galaxies gravity forces and accelerates matter to speeds beyond human comprehension. A universe of Rippling, resonating electrical shockwaves carrying information/matter throughout the cosmos on a waxing and waning tidal wave of energy.  From a rudimentary perspective is this process really that different from the workings of the human mind?  Information flowing from one neuron/galaxy across the brains synapses, a resonating pulse of information that feeds the collective, the whole.</center>

<center>![Abstract16.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbbkJFNuU3juvPWdtn9DeiNMbnL4hcBr9t4EUn1RUFjo2/Abstract16.jpg)</center>[Source](https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fintegralchurch.files.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F11%2Fpeeling-bodies-chris-dyer.jpg%3Fw%3D490%26amp%3Bh%3D490&sp=be3f79936cedec97aa42879d6fc08e2a)

<center><h2><b>Cortextual Symbiosis</b></h2></center>

<center>Obviously when discussing these connections we’re talking about vastly different scales.  But in many ways the complexities of our micro inner universes bear many similarities with the macro cosmological brain of the cosmos.</center>


<center>As the fabric of the space time continuum expands and gravity pulls waxes and wanes.  As dark matter forms filaments and the intersections form clusters of galaxies the brain like structure of the universe begins to take shape.  The morphology and symbiosis of the human cortex displays to me that our brains are linked to the universe in some form of beautifully resonating symbiotic evolution.</center>

<center><h2><b>Running Away Or Running Towards</b></h2></center>

<center>I’ve also been thinking about the aforementioned complexity and novelty theories and now I’d like to expand upon them.  Highlighting a perception where the complexification process follows multiple pathways that lead to the same endpoint.</center>

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/ODYBMwhNyvaeI/giphy.gif</center>

<center>I’ve come to think of the universe as some kind organically evolving complexification machine.  Equally if we’re held within such an evolutionary process it would suggest that at odds with the scientific explanation we're in effect racing towards something as opposed to racing away from it, but what are we racing towards?  If the cosmos is exponentially complexifying novelty and complexity, then the human neo cortex could be viewed as a prime example of this process.   A whole new era of complexity, the power of the mind as a foundation for creating new universes, new evolutionary processes and new singularities.</center>

<center>![Abstract24.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSjq3Fa1CJyEvDMdUBfG1Q7owEeFGgM5KzcscwibFiAkC/Abstract24.jpg)</center>


<center><h2><b>Multiple Evolutions Of Mind</b></h2></center>

<center>So let’s take a look at a few of the multiple paths of complexifying evolution that could stem (pun intended) from our own brains.  Through various posts I’ve displayed my belief that technology is morphing into a synthetic manifestation of reality and spirituality.  I’ve already written about the prospect that our brains are somehow an inner universe but lets look into it a little deeper.</center>

<center>![Abstract18.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYmXGdhwEutxjfrT5kDRd88TBq5o41kaReR4GJWqbdiKe/Abstract18.jpg)</center>[Source](https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2F24.media.tumblr.com%2Fede124686730c61245c8e2942da096dc%2Ftumblr_mv4x5vbZTr1sm5dt2o1_500.jpg&sp=f3722263fbf38c3f0a0250692bfdb61a)

<center><h2><b>The Evolution Of Story</b></h2></center>

<center>Since the days of the campfire our storytelling ability has been involved in some form of evolutionary process.  I’ve come to believe that our stories were in effect the very first faltering steps towards building our own universe.  Indeed do our minds and the synchronisation of our dreams and imagination contain the building blocks to create entire living, breathing universes?  An entire cosmos built in the micro and expressed in the macro.</center>  

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/zNrdKGcyRjZaE/giphy.gif</center>

<center>Equally could they be built and continue to exist in the micro? i.e a living breathing universe that exists within our own minds and imagination. Is our very act of creation not only an expression of our humanity but equally does it speak to the validity of a creator, a God.  Are we (much like a child copying his Dad shaving) somehow trying to mimic the process that created us?</center>

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/l2QEeiVtY127R0nWE/giphy.gif</center>

<center>But back to the concept of humanity creating an external universe. I don’t feel it too radial to suggest that the externalisation of our internal imaginations seem to be leading us towards creating said universe.  Imagination and technology held in unison will (I believe) lead us to create a living, breathing and evolving universe, perhaps multiple universes.  A cosmos that gives rise to intelligent lifeforms, a universe that would have no idea that it actually lives inside the virtual realm.  This universe would evolve to a point where the intelligent life would seek to somehow mimic it’s own creation and thus design it’s own synthetic universe and this process could (in theory) continue for infinity.   And so now running alongside our carbon based evolution we have another strand of potentially infinite complexification taking place.</center>

<center>![Abstract31.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRtmdaXH8wptTuoQWfUZZYNY9yHgZpHKEoxZhuai1sy9h/Abstract31.jpg)</center>[Source](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjQ_MqXtofYAhVCDcAKHZ0uCKMQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbetakit.com%2Fcancon-podcast-ep-50-can-canada-build-an-ai-supercluster%2F&psig=AOvVaw3Shh-LzUhnlK2OuRgYexnp&ust=1513269353902397)

<center> <h2><b>Artificial Intelligence Complexity</b></h2></center>

<center>So lets take another look at a separate strand of evolution that again is not born of the cosmos but has it’s foundations in the human mind, artificial intelligence.  Now anyone that’s read my previous work knows my thoughts on this, but today is not that discussion.  Today A.I is going to represent another fractal of eternal intelligent evolution.  Indeed if the universe is a complexification driving force the first thought in the mind of A.I will be to better itself.  To create an intelligence or a lifeform that exceeds it’s own capabilities.  And so once again this process could continue for infinity, well at least our narrow perception of what infinity actually means.</center>

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/xT9IgmzpLiCLIDsvE4/giphy.gif</center>

<center><h2><b>The Complexification Of Energy & Dark Matter</b></h2></center>

<center>So running alongside the human centric complexifications we also have (I believe)  energetic complexity.  This relates to the compression of energy to such a point of singularity and mathematical multiplicity that it births some form of energetic, spiritual intelligence.  A multifaceted spiritual duality that then embarks upon it’s own energetic complexification process.  Running alongside this I have previously written about how dark matter and plasma also hold the building blocks for entirely new forms of life.  I have also shown how these lifeforms could be held within an evolutionary process that accelerates at an exponential rate.  So now we have dark matter, plasma and energetic complexity to throw into the mix.</center>

<center>![Abstract26.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTfM6pZZ2wfaYWjxtiW7sZgz2eVmotNp1fzRStJuA12cm/Abstract26.jpg)</center>[Source](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwif7azTrIfYAhUhIsAKHY7LBKIQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.seeker.com%2Fgo-behind-the-science-of-transcendence-1768480471.html&psig=AOvVaw0CjBv1pdh7MbnhHen59NJJ&ust=1513266056729697)

<center><h2><b>The Complexity Of Technology</b></h2></center>

<center>Now I have written about this previously but in the context of this conversation it seems apt to add the following paragraph.</center>

<center><center> So the year is 2300 and what was achieved by a quantum super computer in 2017 can now be squeezed into a processor the size of a speck of dust. We have now reached the age of post technological singularity and are beginning an era known as STEM, the compression of space, time, energy and matter. Everything is compressed and miniaturised, more inter-connection, more compression, less energy use, less matter. Exponential increases in intelligence, we have reached a point of such compression and multi dimensional singularity that the space time continuum inverts and creates a man made black hole that literally sucks us in and then catapults us out of the solar system and into an alternate reality.</center>

<center>![Abstract27.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmd8UJVJqpS5vWzDf3swPPpyJoeHDSGi9pki4zYSYN9vZC/Abstract27.jpg)</center>


<center><h2><b>The Evolution Of The Universe</b></h2></center>

<center>So now I have given a few brief examples relating to the increasing complexity of the universe.  But if the universe follows these rules can it become too complex? And if so is this some form of singularity?</center>

<center>https://media.giphy.com/media/l0IsH6566tYSDCDL2/giphy.gif</center>

<center>When discussing the micro connection to the macro we could begin to think of our bodies as bubbles in an infinite sea.  When the bubbles burst our consciousness is released and we once again become one with this eternal sea, our heaven. But lets zoom out a few quadrillion miles or so and looks at things from a different scale.  In this perception the complexity driving universe is also a bubble, a bubble that floats within the multiverse.</center>


<center>![Abstract28.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQB3VCXXCUFXisMmdnebmXdadoQk5GLSmpiQRxBU1aMJP/Abstract28.jpg)</center>[Source](https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj5oI3DsIfYAhVMIsAKHbmYAqsQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Flelandharperphilosophy.wordpress.com%2F2015%2F02%2F16%2Fquick-intro-to-the-multiverse%2F&psig=AOvVaw3s-Otc65DhX32QUXRjuyUq&ust=1513267843131585)

<center><h2><b>The Multiplicity Of The Multiverse</b></h2></center>

<center>Starting off very slowly and much like our very own understanding of Moore’s law the universe has begun to complexify.  First by the billions of years, then by the millions, thousands, hours, minutes until we reach a point where complexity becomes so compressed that more change takes place in one second than has occurred in the billion years the preceded it.  At this point the singularity has been reached, the bubble inverts/bursts and we are released into the multiverse, the universe has evolved and taken us all with it.  As a unified collective we are ready for the next stage of our ascension.</center>

<center>![Abstract15.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRvxh68CPEda6Y4TytBuHrS2dyQHGuKENWkqCaswB9SwW/Abstract15.jpg)</center>[Source](https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fus.123rf.com%2F450wm%2Fkiyanochka%2Fkiyanochka1711%2Fkiyanochka171100043%2F89976120-russian-doll-matryoshka-and-abstract-flowers.jpg%3Fver%3D6&sp=c264e1245c3cccb94073d30590d1d0a0)



<center>From photons to electrons, atoms & cells, matter to life, life to intelligence, mind within mind and then multiple evolutionary paths to a universal evolution.  If the cosmos is a series of dolls within dolls within dolls,  then what is the multiverse evolving into?  Well my friends, that’s an abstraction for another day!</center>
