Telkens weer opnieuw en practisch eindeloos worden herkauwd en/of worden ingespannen
Dat is een van de redenen geweest waarom ik omstreeks 2014 mijn interesse begon te verliezen, al had ik, zo besef ik mij nu, nog een hoop te leren. In de tussenliggende jaren heb ik mij vooral beziggehouden met geschiedenis, enerzijds vanwege de variatie en anderzijds omdat dit onderwerp zich uitstekend leent voor audio (in tegenstelling tot wiskunde, dat veel meer visuele toelichting vergt).
Zoals beloofd, hier de passage over homeopathie (en een vermelding van het placebo-effect en bijna-dood-ervaringen), uit
The God Equation:
How and why does homeopathy prove so successful for the considerable number of people who swear to its efficacy? As far as the scientific community is concerned, there is no scientific phenomenon associated with homeopathy and it relies purely on the placebo effect. Well, here are the mathematical reasons why they are wrong. When a homeopathic solution is first being prepared, the active ingredient is indeed physically present. By the laws of the mind-matter Fourier transform, this homeopathic solution has a mental mathematical function associated with it: a function based on INFORMATION (all mental activity is in fact informational activity). The presence and purpose of the active ingredient is informationally encoded in the mental mathematical function. As the physical solution is progressively diluted, the mental Fourier transform is also changed, but even the complete removal of the active ingredient from a sample of the solution does not remove the INFORMATION regarding the active ingredient from the sample solution’s Fourier transform. The transform relates to the WHOLE, and each part is encoded with the information of the whole. So, the homeopathic sample solution, although physically stripped of the active ingredient, is not at all stripped of the vital information concerning the active ingredient.
Naturally, this information is not physical, so cannot be seen, heard, tasted, touched or smelled or in any way physically detected. To a scientist, it is simply NOT THERE and it’s ludicrous to say it is. To the Fourier transform, it most certainly is there. When a patient takes the remedy, they are adding to their own informational Fourier transform the information associated with the active ingredient. They are then able to use this new curative information to resolve their medical condition. The absence of the physical ingredient is irrelevant because homeopathic remedies work via the mind rather than the body. They provide vital supplementary information to the mind which can then cure the physical ailment by using that information.
Conventional medicine works in a two-fold manner; physically and mentally. The active ingredient is both physically and informationally present. Therefore, conventional medicine will always be your best bet, and we are not denying that for a moment. However, homeopathic medicine can without question complement conventional medicine and offer alternative treatment paths. Homeopathic medicine instead of being both physical and informational is purely informational, but this by no means fatally impairs its effectiveness. Ultimately, nothing is more important than information. If we had more powerful minds, physical medicines would be rendered redundant.
It’s certainly possible to envisage a time when the main purpose of medicine will not be to provide physical cures but purely mental, informational cures. It does not matter how the information gets “uploaded” to the mental Fourier transform. It could be by some solution absorbed into the body, or a pill, or by some technological link via computers. All that matters in the end is that critical information is added to our mental Fourier transform to allow us to effect bodily repairs and cures.
What is a near-death experience? It’s when some severe trauma temporarily dissolves the mind-matter Fourier relationship and a person starts to experience life without a body. When the physical trauma is resolved, the old Fourier relationship springs back into place and the person is back to normal.
Consciousness is a curious phenomenon because it seems to sit on the body side of the Fourier relationship (because it has to be attuned to what the body is doing), but it is of course on the mental side. When the body dies, conventional consciousness dies too because it is so much associated with the physical body. Instead, a higher consciousness takes over.
Ik vermoedde dat de vermelding van homeopathie mogelijk te maken had met Hockney's waardering voor Rupert Sheldrake, en dat blijkt te kloppen. Een citaat uit hetzelfde boek:
All valid paranormal phenomena occur via the ontologically real mental domain. Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic resonance occurs via that mechanism. Homoeopathy takes place via the mental domain.
The psychic gift that many ordinary people have (but don’t realise it) is intuition. Intuition is about plucking answers out of “thin air” (i.e. out of the mental domain via the Fourier transform). Many “psychics” have powerful intuition and become convinced they have special powers. Unfortunately, intuition isn’t something that can take place to order, and psychics – in order to make a living – start “enhancing” their gift i.e. they cheat. Soon, they have descended into charlatanry and are relentlessly exploiting gullible people, yet they will go on believing themselves to be “authentic”.
The exploits of frauds shouldn’t be allowed to destroy the credibility of the mental domain. It really is there, and it’s the most important thing in our lives. The fact that it’s not susceptible to any straightforward physical experimentation can hardly be held against it. After all, being non-physical is what defines it, so why would we expect to gain physical knowledge of it? It’s impossible. The verification, validation and falsification principles deployed by scientists regarding physical phenomena are invalid regarding mental phenomena. Mental phenomena will always be probabilistic and subjective while the physical world appears mostly deterministic and objective. They are chalk and cheese. New techniques have to be developed to reliably probe the mental domain.
What is our best hope in this regard? Mathematics!
