Author’s Preparatory Comment

Reference is made to Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge; the first book published by the Center For Vibrational Studies on its website. Best practice is to have read that book first since it is in that book that you, the reader of these words, can learn about Humanity’s Wrong Turn and the challenges humanity now faces in “course-correcting” this wrong turn.

Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge was published in December, 2019, with the promise that during the calendar year, 2020, a series of twelve books would be published by the Center -- once a month: each bearing the title Beneath Words; each bearing a subtitle unique to it.

In January, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: What Lies There, the first in this series of twelve books. In February, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: Sounds/Marks/Vibrations, the second in this series of twelve books. In March, 2020, the Center published Beneath Words: A Baby Is Born, the third in this series of twelve books. Now, in April, 2020, the Center is publishing Beneath Words: A New Kind Of Thinking, the fourth in this series of twelve books.

Best practice is that you read each of these four books in the order in which they were published and that you continue this practice with respect to the remaining eight books that will be published once a month from May, 2020 through December, 2020.

Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) began treating words, symbols and images as only words, symbols and images instead of treating words, symbols and images as what they really are: sounds/marks/vibrations superposed upon the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue them with meaning (i.e. vibrations with meaning).

When Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) adopted a way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” (current kind of thinking) embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”....giving no “thought” to the fact that all “words/symbols/images” are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning pointing (like signs) to the vibrations that lie beneath them.

In other words, Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when humanity (or, more particularly, its members) turned a “deaf ear” and a “blind eye” to their true nature (vibration) and the true nature (vibration) of their:

“bodies/brains”,

“words/symbols/images”,

“verbal realities/minds”,

“projections/measurements/thoughts”

“verbal statements/stories”.

*****

Humanity’s Challenge lies in course-correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn; a “course-correcting that is not easy to achieve as long as Humanity is using the same kind of thinking (a current kind of thinking) that caused this wrong turn.....

....as long as Humanity’ members (both as a whole and individually) are treating the “word”, the “symbol” and the “image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” -- nothing more.

A new kind of thinking is needed; a new way of thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” that is embedded in these sounds/marks/vibrations

with meaning; it being a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling” in which you can now be “schooled”.

A new kind of thinking that treats vibration as being the true nature of all that exists;

A new kind of thinking that educates each of we presences called “human” (as a vibration having his/her own unique vibrating characteristics) in a new way of “healing” and a new way of living together and interacting, interconnecting and communicating with each expression of all that exists (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”).

Diving deep, Beneath Words, is not easy; particularly if “your mind” has been educated (current kind of thinking) to treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as only “words”, “symbols” and “images” rather than educated (new kind of thinking) to treat “words”, “symbols” and “images” as sounds and marks (vibrations) pointing to the vibrations that lie beneath them and imbue them with meaning.

In other words, diving deep, Beneath Words, is a difficult journey; particularly if one of its goals is to course correct Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

Linguistic mechanics are needed to facilitate this journey, Beneath Words, and to experience this new kind of thinking.

The linguistic mechanics used in my writings are mostly simple linguistic tools -- two examples being:

The phrase: now thought of and called

The word, “called”.

Other examples are quotation marks (“ ”), different forms of print (bold, italic, bold italic), four dots (....), some dashes (--), a forward facing slant (/), footnotes and a dividing of a complex verbal statement into multiple parts (frequently in a downward stair stepping manner indicating a deeper dive, beneath words, is occurring).

The purpose of these simplistic linguistic tools being to disrupt the normal cadence (the rhythm) of your reading style so that you can focus your mind

....not only on the specific word highlighted by the linguistic tool....

....but also on the vibration that lies beneath it and to which the highlighted word is pointing (as a sign).

*****

There are other linguistic mechanics that I use. One is called renormalizing; it being a process that I have previously introduced and will re-introduced to you.

This Process Called Renormalizing

There exists among we presences called “human”, certain “groups” called “physicists” and “mathematicians” that use this verbal process called “renormalizing” for the purpose of cancelling out “infinities” in order to make their mathematical calculations “finite”.

In other words, by “cancelling out” these pesky “infinities”, these physicist and mathematicians establish “boundary conditions” within which their calculations work....while understanding that these “infinities” do exists.

As it turns out....although not currently thought of in this manner, this process called “renormalizing” is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process -- a natural selecting process -- by which what exists, physically, in potentia (the “infinite”) becomes physically present (“finite/real”).¹

Although more will be stated about this vibrating interacting process along the way, while being engaged in this new kind of thinking, always remain “mindful” that although this process called “renormalizing” is typically thought of and called a linguistic mechanic (which it is), this linguistic mechanic is the process that each of we presences called “human” use when making a verbal choice (a verbal act of selecting)....

....this process called renormalizing being much more than just a linguistic tool....

....it being representative of a vibrating interacting (selecting) process (a Creative Process) by which “all that exists” emerges and exhibits a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made.

Why Repeat

What Has Previously Been Verbally Stated?

Diving deep beneath words, symbols and images into the sounds/marks/vibrations that inform them takes practice as does diving deeper into the vibrations that imbue these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning.

Simply stated: It does take practice....practice....practice....for “your mind” to grasp the fact that “words”, “symbols” and “images” are the ultimate linguistic tools as are “your mind” and the “verbal reality” in which “your mind” dwells.

Your “body/brain” emerges first; then emerges your “words/symbols/images” and then emerges your “verbal reality/mind”:

Your “mind” and its “verbal reality” emerging only after your “body” in a manner coordinated by your “brain” can produce your first word using the mechanics of “your voice” and “your writing hand” (aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface.

Your “body/brain”, your “words/symbols/images” and “your verbal reality/ mind emerging pursuant to this process called renormalizing....

....it being representative of the vibrating interacting (selecting) process (the Creative Process) by which each expression of “all that exists” emerges and exhibits a natural bias (an Historical Bias) favoring acts of selecting previously made.

Why Engage This New Kind Of Thinking?

All “minds” are products of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”; each “mind” and “its verbal reality” being two vibrating existential states created/informed by these sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning -- it being within these vibrating existential states that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning serve as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements”, “thoughts” through which the “mind” (while dwelling within its “verbal reality”) views and produces its “stories” about what is real/not real.

In this sense, if a “mind” (while dwelling within its “verbal reality”) “thinks” of a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image” as being only “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” -- nothing more; then it will remain stuck in a current kind of thinking that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” in only this way.

However, there is another way....that being to engage in this new kind of thinking about which I write.

*****

So....please keep these preparatory words “in mind” as you, the reader of these words, move onward in your Journey, Beneath Words. And, please keep in “mind” that when you are speaking, writing, listening or reading “words/symbols/images”, you are always doing so in code since

Each “word/symbol/image” is a vibration that (i) is expressed in the form of a sound or mark and (ii) points to the vibration that lies beneath “it” and gives “it” its meaning.

Learning to listen to and read these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” being Humanity’s real challenge.²

*****

Yet, there is always the matter of proof isn’t there; this burden of proving “true” to “the mind” what the “body” and “its brain” already knows and what the mind can know if it would only really “listen” and really “see” word/symbols/images for what they really are:

Sounds/Marks/Vibration

With Meaning.³

First Stanza

By reading Beneath Words: What Lies There, the first book in the series of twelve books published on the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website, you (the reader of these words) embarked on a journey:

A journey in which you have been introduced to a new way of thinking about the words, the symbols and the images that inform your “thinking” and a new model of reality implicated by this new way of thinking;

A new kind of thinking and a new model of reality that is offered for the purpose of supplementing the current kind of thinking in which you and all of humanity is currently being schooled.

I, the writer of these words, call this journey: Your Journey, Beneath Words.

The internet is the vehicle through which your journey, Beneath Words, is presented; more specifically, the Center For Vibrational Studies’ website:

www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

By reading the first book, you are now “mindful” that what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning pointing to a vibrating reality in which “your body” and “your brain” dwell, as vibrations; a vibrating reality that is always emerging from a vibrating source/substance (Vibration).

The remaining eleven books in this twelve book series simply strings these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” in a bit different way so as to give you another perspective of what it means to dive deep beneath “words”, “symbols” and “images” into what lies there....this fourth book, Beneath Words: A New Kind Of Thinking, being no exception.

Concerning this fourth book, Beneath Words: A New Kind Of Thinking, its role is to introduce you to twelve easy steps; the purpose of each step being to open “your mind” to the possibility (the potential) that lies in this new way of thinking....this new kind of thinking that treats words, symbols and images as vibrations expressed in the form of sounds and marks whose meaninsg emerge from the vibrations that lie beneath them.

Concerning The Center For Vibrational Studies

The Center For Vibration Studies publishes books written by the author of this book. Each book is comprised of “words”, “symbols” and “images”; the purpose of which is to use these “words”, “symbols” and “images” to “prove”

Not only that “words”, “symbols” and “images” are vibrations with meaning that both create and inform the “verbal reality” and “mind” of each presence called “human”

But also to prove that each something of substance that lies beneath these vibrations with meaning is a vibration.

The “word”, the “symbol” and the “image” being a vibration superposed upon a vibration that lies beneath “it”; the former (the vibration with meaning) pointing to the latter (the vibration -- the vibrating something of substance”).

Meaning

That at its most fundamental level of existence, each vibrating something of substance is a vibration....a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) that can be communicated about through these vibrations with meaning once they emerge; each “body”, each “brain”, each “mind” and each respective “reality” in which “it exists” being no exceptions.

The mission of the Center being to prove why this “Meaning” is true as well as to prove that

the source/substance of all that exists is Vibration since all vibrations with meaning point to it;

the process by which Vibration acts upon itself and through all that emerges from it is the same process by which each of we presences called “human” produces his/her vibrations with meaning....that process being a natural selecting process....a natural process of renormalizing...that is really a vibrating interacting process.

More To The Point

Most likely, if you, the reader of these words, have found this book, you have done so because you are interested in the subject of vibrations and the word, vibrational, attracted you to the Center’s website; the Center’s website being the only place where this book is currently being published.

Your interest may be that of a scientist or a physicist who understands that each something of substance that is the subject of an act of sensing (e.g. an act of observing) has vibrating characteristics that are unique to “it”....your goal being to identify the true nature of each something of substance.

Or your interest in vibrations may have arisen through your sensing that vibrations and their vibrating characteristics are the foundation of a musical scale or simply due to the fact that the music you label “good” or “bad” produces within you “good vibes” or “bad vibes” and that “good vibes”/“bad vibes” emerge in you as you are having a relationship with another or when you are experiencing being “healthy/not healthy” or “happy/not happy”.

However, no matter how it comes to be that you entered the Center’s website, recognize that the writings that are appearing on the Center’s website are based upon a new kind of thinking to which “your mind” is now being introduced; a new kind of thinking that supplements/complements the current kind of thinking in which “your mind” has been, and continues to be “schooled”....this new kind of thinking embracing these “thoughts” as “facts”:

Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images” nothing can be verbally stated about anything. Present the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images” anything can be verbally stated about anything.

Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them lies a single physical reality that is always emerging from a single source and substance.

The role of “the mind” is to produce those “words/symbols/images” that best simulate this single physical reality and its source/substance.

“The job of the writer is to make us see the world as it is.”

Susan Sontag

The Conscience of Words

CONTINUING TO SHIFT THE FOCUS

Continuing To Shift The Focus

In the third part of your journey, Beneath Words, what occurred was a shifting of focus from not just “thinking” within “your verbal reality” about what is occurring beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” but also sensing within “your body” what is occurring beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Now....in this fourth part of your journey, Beneath Words, this shift of focus will continue.

Consider This:

Most likely, you, the reader of these words, would agree with me, the writer of these words, that the following italicized verbal statement is “true”:

Absent the presence of your body and your brain, you would not have a verbal reality and a mind.

However, it may be that you would not agree with me that:

Present the presence of your body and your brain, you would not have a mind or a verbal reality until you could produce your first word.

At birth, you have a body, you have a brain and you have the potential (human potential) to produce words, symbols and images; yet, you have no verbal reality or mind until your body can....in a manner coordinated by your brain....produce your first word.

Once you actualized your human potential and produced your first word, many more words, symbols and images followed with result that you now have your verbal reality and you mind; each being the result of you having actualized your human potential by producing your first word.

Now Consider This:

You emerged at birth with a body and a brain....

....each being a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it....

....the vibration that is “you” being a collective vibration comprised of “your body” and “your brain.

Only after you produced your first vibrating with meaning in the form of a sound or a mark, did these two vibrating existential states (each a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it) called “your verbal reality” and “your mind” emerged.

Prior to producing your first vibration with meaning, you are a collective vibration comprised of “your body” and “your brain”.

After, you produce your first vibration with meaning and the many vibrations with meaning that follow, you are a collective vibration comprised of

“your body/brain”

“your words/symbols/images”

“your verbal reality/mind”

A “body/brain” that dwells in a single vibrating reality (a collective vibration) that is always emerging from Vibration as source/substance pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process that is frequently called a natural selecting process (“evolution”).

A “mind” that dwells in a “verbal reality” in which these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which you mind:

(i) views this single vibrating reality (a collective vibration) and its single source/substance (Vibration); and,

(ii) produces verbal statements (“stories”) about “them”.

Forget for the moment that the initial words/symbols/images that you produced are a product of the “tribe” or “community” in which you were birthed.

Forget for the moment that the creations stories and models of reality to which you were initially introduced are the products of this “tribe” or “community” in which you emerged at your birth.

Forget for the moment that the way of thinking in which you were (and continue to be) schooled is a kind of thinking that now treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” and an “image”....nothing more.

Let’s move on to the fact that:

(i) “your verbal reality” and “your mind” as well as “your words”, “your symbols” and “your images” are a product of you having actualized your human potential (p); and,

(ii) you now have the human potential (p) to select the “words/symbols/image” that inform “your verbal reality/mind.”

In other words, you now have the human potential (p) to select....and are actually selecting....out of a “menu” of all potential (p) words/symbols/images that can create and inform “your verbal reality” and “mind”:

(i) the words/symbols/images that you do select being represented by the symbol (+); and,

(ii) the words/symbols/images that you do not select being represented by the symbol (-).⁴

*****

So....prior to proceeding onward.....let’s focus in on what is now thought of and called the human potential and what is now thought of and called Potential as in “infinite Potential” or “infinite possibilities” or “the potential” that is represented by a “wave function”....a “wave function” that “collapses” when a vibrating act called selecting occurs.

The word, “potential” defined (first definition):

1 : existing in possibility; capable of development into actuality

2 : expressing possibility

The word, “potential” defined (second definition):

1 : something that can develop or become actual

2 : the work required to move a unit positive charge from a reference point (as at infinity) to a point in question....Potential Difference*

_________

*Each of these definitions are lifted from Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary.

Human Potential

All vibrations have potential; each “particle”, each “atom”, each “molecule”, each “organism”, each “species” as well as each of we vibrations called “human” and each of these vibrations called “strings” being no exceptions.

The human potential movement was popularized in the early 1960’s. In fact, the founders of Esalen Institute (Mick Murphy and Dick Price) seem to have led the charge in getting we “humans” to embrace our human potential.

Mike Murphy was one of my mentors and for a while (in the 1980’s) I had the privilege of being engaged with Esalen and Mike in several endeavors....each a great “learning experience” for me.

Turns out Mike....prior to forming Esalen with Dick Price....had studied with Sri Aurobindo at the latter’s ashram in India. Seems that Aurobindo....using “words” ....had identified a potential that existed within him and all “humans”.⁵

*****

Later....much later....I had the privilege of meeting and knowing Edgar Mitchell, one of a very few “humans” who have “walked on the moon”.

Having made the journey to the “moon”, Edgar returned to “Earth” and started the Institute of Noetic Sciences (“IONS”); one of Edgar’s reason for doing so being to introduce Humanity as a whole to the human potential that dwells within each of we “humans”.

In that regard, Edgar and IONS explored this human potential in various ways; one way being observing “humans” who could move “things” using only “their minds”.

Turns out many humans were interested in actualizing this human potential and, in fact, certain humans were desirous of producing “apps” that would allow this potential to be more easily actualized by Humanity.

Turns out producing this “app” is quite the challenge. However, it is submitted that before any “app” can be realized, the real challenge lies in understanding how it comes to be that we “humans” and each expression of all that exists has this potential.⁶

*****

As should now be apparent to you, the reader of these words....particularly if you have read the my previous writings....is that this new kind of thinking about which I write strives to meet this challenge.

This part of your Journey, Beneath Words having been structured for the purpose of providing you a step by step approach to this new kind of thinking....it being a journey that you will continue by simply “turning the page”....but only after “we” really “focus” upon:

(i) what is now thought of and called human potential;

(ii) what is now thought of and called Potential as in “infinite Potential” or “infinite possibilities” or “the potential” that is represented by a “wave function”....

....a “wave function” that “collapses” when a vibrating act called selecting occurs pursuant to a natural selecting process...a natural process of renormalizing....

....that is really a....

....vibrating interacting (selecting) process.⁷

Potential

Remember the formulas: VP:+/- and vp:+/-

The symbol, VP, stands in for the Potential (P) that lies in Vibration (V).

The symbol, vp, stands in for the potential (p) that lies in each vibration (v) that emerges from Vibration (V).

In both formulas:

(i) The “colon” (:) symbolizes the vibrating interacting (selecting) process by which Vibration (V) and each vibration (v) that emerges from Vibration (V) acts upon “itself”; and,

(ii) The symbol, “+/-” represents the “polarities” that emerge once an act of selecting occurs pursuant to :

The Potential (P) of Vibration (V) is “infinite”, meaning that all “probabilities”....all “possibilities”....all vibrations (v) that could emerge from V lies in its P....

....P being a vibrating existential state that is, currently, best symbolized, verbally, by what is now thought of and called “the wave function”....

....the “wave function” being, currently, best symbolized, verbally, by what is now thought of and called “Schrödinger’s Equation”.

However, the potential (p) of each vibration (v) that emerges from V and its P is limited by a natural bias (an Historical Bias) that favors acts of selecting previously selected.

Simply stated: the potential (p) that lies in each vibration (v) is naturally biased, favoring selections that its predecessor vibrations (v) selected....

....this vibrating interacting (selecting) process (:) being the Creative Process by which each vibrations (v) emerges....

....each vibration (v) exhibiting an Historical Bias (a vibrating characteristic) favoring acts of selection previously made.

*****

Admittedly, it can be quite difficult for a “mind” to grasp (i) the vibrating reality (+/-), (ii) the vibrating source and substance (V) and (iii) the vibrating interacting (selecting) process (:) that really exist, physically, (vibrationally) beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them.

However, once a “mind” accepts “as fact” that what are now thought of and called “words/symbols/images” are really vibrations (each a v) expressed in the form of a sound or a mark whose meaning is associated with the vibrations (each a v) that lies beneath “them”....

....it does become relatively easy for this “mind” to dive deep beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning into....

(i) the vibrations (each a v) that lies beneath “them”; and,

(ii) the Vibration out of which they emerge

Thereby allowing this “mind” to focus on the Potential (P) of Vibration (V) and the potential (p) of each vibration (v).⁸

CONCERNING YOUR JOURNEY, BENEATH WORDS

A RETROSPECTIVE

The noun retrospective defined: “an exhibition or compilation showing the development of the work of a particular artist over a period of time.”

Google Dictionary

Usually, when engaged in a journey, it helps to keep “in mind” where “you” have been; where you are; and, where you are going. The journey, Beneath Words, upon which you have now embarked is no different.

I, the “speaker/writer” of these words, assume that you, “listener/read” of these words, have read each of the following books published on the Center For Vibrational Studies website in the order presented:

(i) The first book, entitled Beneath Words: What Lies There;

(ii) The second book, entitled Beneath Words: Sounds/Marks/Vibrations;

(III) Third book, entitled Beneath Words: A Baby Is Born.

The third book ended with some Suggested Readings, some Acknowledgements and a section entitled Moving On which reads:

~~~

“Each of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and each these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” are the ultimate linguistic tools. Without them, we presences called “human” could not call “ourselves” human or distinguish us from all other presences in “our surroundings”. However, it is how we use these linguistic tools that makes the difference.

Using a kind of thinking (current kind of thinking) that simply skates along the surface of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, the vibrancy of what lies Beneath Words is lost....forgotten.

This new kind of thinking to which “you” have now been introduced opens “your mind” to this vibrancy by complementing/supplementing “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” with the vibration that lies beneath it and to which it is pointing (Semiotics).

However, once “your mind” is embedded in this current kind of thinking, it is hard to “think” otherwise -- particularly hard “to think” of “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as being a sound/mark/vibration with meaning that stands in for and points to a vibration that lies beneath it.

One writing (i.e. this book) cannot educate a “mind” in this new kind of thinking since that writing can only be prepared from the unique perspective that the “writer” is experiencing in that present moment. Verbal statements presented from one unique perspective of the writer may have to be repeated multiple times from multiple perspectives of the writer before the “mind” of the “listener/reader” fully grasps what is being verbally stated (“spoken/written”).

Thus, appearing on the Center For Vibrational Studies website is a series of writings that I, the writer of these words, have authored from multiple perspective for the purpose of making this journey, Beneath Words, easier; this specific book being the first in the series. Hopefully, you, the listener/reader of this writing, will choose (act of selecting) to move on to these other writings, thereby allowing “you” to experience, vibrationally, both in “your mind” and in “your body” this new kind of thinking in many different ways from many different perspectives.

Once again, it is ‘your choice’.”

~~~~

We start from there, assuming that you have chosen to continue your journey, Beneath Words, by your selecting to “listen/read” this fourth book, entitled, Beneath Words: A New Kind Of Thinking.

In this sense, your journey, Beneath Words, can continue simply by your choosing to “move on” by simply “turning the page”.

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don’t criticize

What you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is

Rapidly agin’

Pease get out of the new one

If youc an’t lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin’.

Bob Dylan -- The Times They Are A-Changin’

Fourth Stanza

TWELVE STEPS

(Précis)*

__________

*Note To The Reader For Purposes of Clarification: This fourth book you are now reading entitled, Beneath Words: A New Kind Of Thinking, sets forth the fourth step in “Your Journey, Beneath Words”. The twelve steps the subject of this Section describe the twelve steps necessary to incorporate this new kind of thinking into your life.

“We die. That may be the meaning of life. We do language. That may be the measure of our lives.”

Toni Morrison

Précis

What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations with meaning that emerge from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” as “the body” is interacting with “its surrounding” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

More particularly, what is now thought of and called “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” is really a vibration that emerges from “the body” in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” once “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can

(i) shape Vibration called “Sound” or Vibration called “Light” into a specific vibration (a specific sound or a specific mark) using the mechanics of “voice” or “hand” (the latter aided by a “marking tool” applied to a “smooth surface”); and,

(ii) associate that specific vibration (that specific sound or that specific mark) with something of substance that lies beneath it and with which “the body” is interacting in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

In this sense, at their most fundament level of existence, there is really no difference among what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images”; each “word/symbol/image” being a vibration with meaning that is superposed upon something of substance that lies beneath it.

In this sense, what is now thought of and called a “body” is really something of substance that lies beneath the word, “body”; a similar verbal statement being applicable to what is now thought of and called the brain” and what is now thought of and called the “mind”.

~~~

Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning, no verbal statement could be made (including these verbal statements you are now reading).

Present the presence of these vibrations with meaning, anything can be verbally stated about anything; and, anything verbally stated in the positive can also be verbally stated in the negative.

In this sense, each verbal statement made (including these verbal statements you are reading) must withstand the “burden” of “proof”; of proving “true” that the verbal statement coherently simulates what is happening Beneath Words.

Beneath Words, there exists something of substance called “a single physical reality” that is always emerging from something of substance called “a single source and substance”; this single physical reality emerging from this single source and substance pursuant to a process frequently called a “natural selecting process” (“evolution”) and occasionally called a “natural process of renormalizing” or an “interacting force”.

It is within this single physical reality, that each “body” and each “brain” emerges and each “body” and “brain” dwells for as long as “it” exists.

~~~

Within this single physical reality, what is now thought of and called the “body” and “its brain” emerges first. These vibrations with meaning emerge later.

As these vibrations with meaning emerge, they create and inform two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”; each “verbal reality” and “each mind” emerging only after “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce its first vibration with meaning -- its first word.

It is within “its verbal reality” that each “mind” emerges; the latter (the “mind”) dwelling in the former (“its verbal reality”) for as long as “it” (the “mind”) and “its verbal reality” exist.

~~~

Within these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”, these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”

(i) through which the “mind” views this single physical reality and its “source and substance”; and,

(ii) by which the “mind” produces verbal statements and verbal stories concerning this single physical reality and its single source and substance”.

In this sense, these vibrations with meaning serve as a bridge connecting each “verbal reality” in which a “mind” dwells with this single physical reality in which each “body” and each “brain” dwells; a bridge connecting each “body”, each “brain”, each “verbal reality” and each “mind” to their “source and substance”.

~~~

Using this bridge and certain technologies (sense enhancing devices such as the microscope, telescope, superconducting supercollider coupled with computers that can source the voluminous bits of information obtained through these sense enhancing devices); it can now be verbally stated as fact that:

Vibration is the source and substance of all that exists.

Vibration acts upon itself pursuant to a vibrating interacting (selecting) process (frequently called a “natural selecting process” -- “evolution” and occasionally called “a natural process of renormalizing” or an “interacting force”).

Each expression of Vibration is a vibration having vibrating characteristics (i.e. a vibrating something of substance) by which it can be sensed, vibrationally, and identified, vibrationally, using vibrations with meaning.

Facts to which all vibrations with meaning are pointing as signs.

In this sense, each sound/mark/vibration with meaning called “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” is a

vibration superposed upon a vibration

In this sense, for as long as it exists, each something of substance is a vibration (a vibrating bit of information) that is always (i) emerging from Vibration as source/substance and (ii) interacting, interconnecting and communicating with all other vibrations in “its surroundings”....as a “part” of the “whole”.

~~~

Yet, there is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there? This “burden” of having to “prove true” to the “mind” what has just been stated in this Précis....of having to “prove true” to each “mind” what each “body” and each “brain” already knows.

~~~

As it turns out, using these vibrations with meaning for the purpose of proving “true” any verbal statement is quite difficult since these vibrations with meaning are a “part” of the “whole”.

The twelve steps that follow and the new kind of thinking they represent are presented for the purpose of easing this “burden of proof”.

We start with “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” (first step) and move on from there.⁹

Part One

A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

Lao Tzu

The First Step

We start this journey recognizing the following facts:

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated about anything.

Present the presence of words, symbols and images anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive can be verbally stated in the negative; examples being

“is/is not”

“exists/not exists”

“something/not something”

“nothing/not nothing”

“true/not true”

“false/not false”

“fake/not fake”

“real/not real”

Then we ask two questions:

From whence emerges “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”?

What is their true nature?

This is the easy part of this journey: To ask these questions, using

“the word” to do so.¹⁰

The hard part of this journey lies in accepting these facts:

Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, none of we presences called “human” would have a “verbal reality” or a “mind” created and informed by “them” nor could “we” be “reading” or “writing” verbal statements created and informed by “them” nor could “we” be verbally stating anything about “us” using “them” (e.g. “we are humans”); yet what are now thought of and called “our bodies” and “our brains” would still be present....even in the absence of their presence.

Using the “words”, “symbols” and images” that both create and inform “your verbal reality” and “your mind”, “think” of what has just been verbally stated within the context of the following verbal statements (Footnote 3), presented in italics for the purpose of highlighting the fact that absence the presence of words, symbols and images, no verbal statements (including these) could be made.¹¹

The Second Step

The next step (the second step) involves recognizing that we presences called “human” (or, more particularly, “our minds”) are stuck in “the word”, “the symbol”, “the image” and the “verbal realities” created and informed by them....stuck in a current way of thinking (current kind of thinking) that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more....

....rather than embracing another way of thinking (new kind of thinking) that recognizes....

....“each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” emerges from “the body” in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark....

....but only after “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can associate the specific sound or specific mark with something of substance that lies beneath “it” and imbues “it” with meaning.

For example, when “you” verbally state the word, “I” as in the phrase “I exists” or “I am”, the word, “I” stands in for/represents the something of substance that “you” are just as the word “body” or “brain” is standing in for/representing the something of substance that “it” is. In fact, a similar verbal statement can be made with respect to any word, symbol or image standing in for/representing any something of substance, be it a “wave”, a “particle”, an “atom”, a “molecule”, a “cell”, an “organism” or any “animal” such as a “lion” or a “wolf”.

Simply stated: we presences called “human” (each of “us”, individually and Humanity as whole) when using words, symbols and images have failed to accept the fact that “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” is a specific sound with meaning or a specific mark with meaning that emerges from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”; “each word”, “each symbol”, “each image” and “each combination of words, symbols and images” (individually and collectively) standing in for/representing something of substance that lies

beneath “it”....this failure being Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

As Part Of This Second Step

Consider These Verbal Statements

“How shall we start? I would like to ask if humanity has taken a wrong turn.”

“A wrong turn? Well it must have done so, a long time ago, I think.”¹²

Note the phrase “I think”; then ask “yourself” (“your” - “self’) this question: Which comes first, the “body/brain”, the “word/symbol/image” or “the mind”?

1

Through a natural selecting process called “evolution”, this something of substance now thought of and called a “body” and this something of substance now thought of and called “its brain” emerges first in their current existential state within a single physical reality in which all “bodies” and all “bodies with brains” emerge...prior to any specific sound/mark with meaning called a “word”, a “symbol” or “an image” emerging from “this body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” and prior to “this body/brain” having what can now be thought of and called a “verbal reality” and a “mind” in which acts now thought of and called “thinking”, “measuring” and “projecting can occur.

2

Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred when, once emerging, the “mind” began “thinking” that “it” (the “mind”) emerged first.¹³

The Third Step

The next step (the third step) involves recognizing that, at birth, an “infant” (new born) has no “words”, “symbols” or “images” at its disposal by which it can produce any verbal statement; and, thus, has no “verbal reality” or “mind” created and informed by “them”. However, at birth, this “infant” can produce “sounds” (e.g. acts called “crying” and “cooing”) and “marks” (e.g. acts called “urinating” and “defecating”); these acts of sounding and marking emerging from its “body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

In this sense, at this early age, this “infant” is no different from any other presence, at birth (e.g. the “baby lion” or the “baby wolf”); each having the ability to produce “sounds” and “marks” in its own unique way.

Yet, what distinguishes we presences called “human beings” from these other presences (these other “beings”) is that each of “us” in his/her own unique way can produce a “specific sound” or a “specific mark” called a “word/symbol/image” using his/her “voice” or his/her “hand” (the latter aided by a “marking tool” applied to a “smooth surface”).

Thus, although the “roar” (the “sound”) of the “lion” does provide meaning to “its territory” and the “urine” or “scat” (the “mark”) of the “wolf” does the same, we presence called “human” have taken the act of sounding and act of marking to a new evolutionary level....a new “art”¹⁴

Simply stated: When considered as specific sounds or specific marks, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Yet, we cannot stop this journey (this deep dive) beneath words by simply recognizing that “words”, “symbols” and “images” are “sounds” and “marks” emerging from “the body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

We (or, more particularly, “our minds”) must dive deeper....

....leading to the fourth step.¹⁵

The Fourth Step

The next step (the fourth step) involves diving deep beneath the specific sounds with meaning and specific marks with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and recognizing that:

The sounded/spoken word emerges only after “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”, using the mechanics of “voice”, can shape Vibration called “Sound” into a specific vibration (a specific sound) and associate that specific vibration with something of substance that lies beneath it

And That

The marked/written word emerges only after “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”, using the mechanics of “hand”, can shape Vibration called “Light” into a specific vibration (a specific mark) and associate that specific vibration with something of substance that lies beneath it....the “hand” being aided by a “marking tool” and a “smooth surface” to which the “marking tool” is applied by the “hand”.¹⁶

When compared to the marked/written word, recognizing the “sounded/spoken word” is a function of Vibration called “Sound” is relatively easy since each something of substance “sounds” in its own unique way and can be sensed (“heard”) by another something of substance; “sounding” being the more typically way for a something of substance to produce its first sound with meaning -- its first word.¹⁷

However, recognizing the “marked/written word” is a function Vibration called “Light” can be difficult for we presences called “human”, until there is a recognition that in the absence of Vibration called “Light” there is only “Dark”.¹⁸

Leading to the conclusion that when in the “Dark” there is no “Light” by which to sense (“see”) the marked/written word”.¹⁹

In other words, at their most fundamental level of existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”; each being a vibration with meaning that can be sensed by “the body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.

Which leads to the fifth step of this journey; this step being the most difficult for a “mind” to accept, particularly if it has been trained to “think” using a current kind of thinking that treats “the Mind” as the producer of “the Word”.

The Fifth Step

The next step (the fifth step) is for “your mind” to accept the fact that each “mind” (including “your mind”) and the “verbal reality” in which “it” dwells are really vibrating existential states created and informed by these vibrations with meaning; these vibrations with meaning equating to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” by which “the mind” (while dwelling in its “verbal reality”)

Views what lies beneath these vibrations with meaning

And

Produces verbal statements and combinations of verbal statements called “stories” about it views (i.e. what lies beneath these vibrations with meaning

Some of these stories being called “fiction” or “non-fiction”. Some of these stories being called “speculative philosophies”, “theologies”, “creation stories”, “science”, “physics”, “models of reality” and “theories” (including those “theories” simulating the emergence of “anything”, “everything”, “something” and “nothing”);

Some of these stories using the following “words” to “tell” their “story”:

“evolution”, “creationism”, “bio-mimicry”, “mimicry”

“interacting force” called “weak”, “strong”, “electro”, “magnetic”, “electro-magnetic”, “gravitational” -- both “classical” and “quantum”

“Consciousness”, “Mind”, “Spirit”, “Sound”, “Deity”

Each story produced by “the mind” being dependent upon the vibrations with meaning that are creating and informing the “mind” and “its verbal reality” in each present moment as well as the specific vibrations with meaning being chosen (act of selecting) by “the mind” in that present moment.

Each story being dependent upon the unique perspective “its body” has as “its body” is interacting with “its surroundings” (physical reality) in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”.²⁰

Yet, rest assured: Each of these “stories” and the “words/symbols/images” used to produce them make “sense” from “its prospective”....but only after the next five steps are embraced by “your mind” using this new kind of thinking previously mentioned and in which “we” are now engaged.

The Sixth Step

Based upon the first five steps, the next step (the sixth step) is for your mind to accept the following verbal statements as “true”:

Through a natural selecting process frequently thought of and called “evolution” and occasionally thought of and called a natural process of renormalizing, what is now thought of and called the “body” and what is now thought of and called the “brain” emerge first as something of substance; this something of substance now thought of and called the “body” and this something of substance now thought of and called the “brain” emerging as a presence within a physical reality in which all presences dwell....“your body/brain” being no exception.

Then and only then....through this same natural selecting process do these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning emerge from “the body” but only after the “body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain” can produce its first word by

(i) shaping Vibration called “Sound/Light” into a specific vibration in the form of a specific sound or specific mark; and,

(ii) associating that specific vibration with something of substance that lies beneath “it” and imbues “it” with meaning

each vibration with meaning being something of substance (i.e. a specific vibration); your vibrations with meaning (what are now thought of and called “your words”, “your symbols” and “your images”) being no exceptions

Then and only then....through this same natural selecting process do these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind emerge; it being within the “mind” and “its verbal reality” that these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”....

....each of these two vibrating existential states and each vibrating linguistic lens being something of substance (i.e. a specific vibration)....

....your two vibrating existential states (what are now thought of and called “your verbal reality” and “your mind”) and these vibrating linguistic lenses called “your projections/measurements/thoughts” being no exceptions.

All “bodies”, all “bodies with brains”, all “words/symbols/images”, all “verbal realities/minds” and all “projections/measurements/thoughts” emerge in this manner; “each” emerging in its own unique way (Qualia) and “each” moving in relation to the “other” (Relativity); “your body”, “your brain”, “your words”, “your symbols”, “your images”, “your verbal reality”, “your mind” and “your

projections/measurements/thoughts” being no exceptions.

Yet, what is an exception -- what makes each of we presence called “human” unique from other presences (no matter what their “name”, “number” or “species”) is his/her ability to combine his/her sounds/marks with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” using these two vibrating existential states called his/her “verbal reality/mind” to do so, thereby producing vibrations with meaning called “phrases”, then “sentences”, then “statements” and “stories”....

....each of these “phrases”, “sentences”, “statements” and “stories” equating to much more complex vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which he/she

Views the physical reality in which his/her “body/brain” dwells

And produces his/her verbal statements and verbal stories about what is happening “here”....in this physical reality.

This act of combining actually being part of this natural selecting process called “evolution”; this specific act of selecting occurring in each present moment called “Now” as this presence called “human” chooses from a menu of all possible sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning existing in potentia those two or more “words/symbols/images” that inform “the phrase”, the “sentence”, the “verbal statement”, the “story”....this ability to combine vibrations with meaning initially emerging pursuant to this natural selecting process....it gradually becoming an art that can be “taught” by a “teacher” schooled in this art.

NOTE TO THE READER

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

Albert Einstein

As should now be apparent, as “your mind” and its “verbal reality” are emerging from “your body” in a manner coordinated by “your brain”, “your body” is interacting within “its physical surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain”; these physical surroundings being a part of a single physical reality that is always emerging out of a single source/substance. The focus of Part One of this writing is upon how “the mind” and “its verbal reality” emerge as vibrating existential states since it is within “its verbal reality” that “the mind” does “its thinking” (as well as “its measuring” and “its projecting”).

Part Two focuses upon the process by which this single physical reality and each “body” and “brain” emerge and the process by which the “brain” (once emerging) orchestrates the interacting of “its body” with “its physical surroundings”; that process being a vibrating interacting process.²¹ Part Two also focuses upon the source/substance (the true nature) of this single physical reality and “all that exists” within this single physical reality; that common source and substance being Vibration.²²

However, while being engaged in this new kind of thinking, always remain “mindful” of these facts concerning “the verbal” and the “nonverbal”:

Absent the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything.

Present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images, anything can be verbally stated about anything.

Thus, any kind of thinking in which you are embedded is always being performed in “the verbal”, this new kind of thinking in which you and I are now engaged being no exception.²³

More To The Point:

Now that “you” (or, more particularly, this vibrating existential state called “your mind”) have completed the first six steps (Part One) of this journey, Beneath Words, it now becomes incumbent upon “you” to integrate this new kind of thinking into your current kind of thinking and into “your body” and “its brain” out of which “your mind” and “its verbal reality” are emerging....to actually sense in “your body/brain” what is always occurring beneath “your verbal reality/mind” and beneath the “words/symbols/images” that both create and inform them.

To actually sense in this something of substance called “your body/brain” not only that

(i) each “word/symbol/image” is a sound/mark/vibration whose meaning is associated with something of substance that lies beneath “it”;

(ii) these vibrations with meaning -- once emerging from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” -- both create and inform these two vibrating existential states called “its verbal reality” and “its mind”;

(iii) within these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”, these vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections/measurements/thoughts” through which and by which “the mind” views and produces its verbal statements/stories concerning what “its body” is sensing as “its body” is interacting with “its surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”;

But also to actually sense that each “word/symbol/image” that you speak/write or hear/see is a sound/mark/vibration whose meaning is associated with something of substance that lies beneath “it”....“its meaning” being “unique” to “you” and “your mind” since no one “stands in your shoes” (Qualia) -- no other presence has your perspective (Relativity).

That, in this sense, each of your vibrating linguistic lenses is unique to “you” as are your verbal statements/stories (including your “creation stories”, “your world views” and “your models of reality”).

Keeping These Thoughts In Mind,

Consider This

When an “infant” emerges at birth, this infant has a “body”, a “brain” and a “perspective” that is unique to “it”; yet, this “infant” has no vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” at its disposal nor does it have these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”.

This “infant” can make “sounds” (called “crying/cooing”) and make “marks” (called “urinating/defecating”). And as this “infant” is learning to control these acts called sounding and marking, it is also learning to perform (in a manner coordinated by “its brain”) acts called moving (e.g. “thrusting”, “turning over”, “crawling”, “squatting”, “standing”, “walking”, “running”, “dancing”, etc.)....each of these acts of moving enabling a “contralateral, balanced movement” of the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”.

Along the way (assuming this “infant” is healthy”), this “infant” gradually emerges as a “baby/toddler/child”, having a “body” that can produce (in a manner coordinated by “its brain”) these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

You, the listener/reader of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” were that “infant” at “your birth” and, assuming you are healthy, you can now perform these acts called sounding, marking and moving.

However, it is only because of a natural selecting process....a natural process of renormalizing....now thought of and called “evolution” that each of we presences called “human” (including “you”) experience this birthing process and this development process as “humans”, thereby emerging with what is now thought of and called “a human body”, “a human brain” and “a human mind”.

The first six steps verbally state in the form of a story how each “mind” (including the human mind) and “its verbal reality” emerged; these verbal statements actually simulating what “you” can observe if you “self-reflect” (using “your mind”) upon how it came to be that “your mind” and “your verbal reality”

emerged.

There remains to be covered the most difficult part of this journey; that being to dive deep beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning and the “verbal realities”, “minds”, “statements” and “stories” “they” create and inform into what lies beneath them.

To be sure, using our individual and collective “minds”, we presences called “human” have produce many “inventions” and “technologies” including sense enhancing devices (e.g. “microscope”, “telescope”, “superconducting supercollider”) that allow “us” to perform acts of sensing (e.g. seeing/observing)

with more particularity.

However, absent the presence of these sound/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, these “inventions” and “technologies” would not exist nor would there exists theoretical simulations (e.g. “philosophies”, “theologies”, “creation stories”, “theories”, “models of reality”) that remain to be “substantiated” through acts of sensing (e.g. seeing/observing).

Thus, in this sense, these “inventions”, “technologies” and “theoretical simulations” emerge after the emergence of “words”, “symbols” and “images” (i.e. Above Words).²⁴

And, in this sense, these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are required if we presences called “human” are to produce that one simulation that (through acts of observing aided by these sense enhancing devices) is “proved” to be the best simulation by which to coherently simulate all that exists....both in the verbal and beneath the verbal.²⁵

Yet, there is a challenge, each of we presences called “human” must overcome.

Your Unique Perspective

You have a “body”, a “brain” and a “perspective” that is unique to you. It is from this unique perspective that “your body” performs its acts of sensing in a manner orchestrated by “your brain” and it is from this unique perspective that you produce these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” that both create and inform your two unique vibrating existential states called “your verbal reality” and “your mind”.

In other words, “you” emerge, at birth, with a “body”, a “brain” and an “unique perspective”; “your body”, “your brain” and “your unique perspective” being the collective product of a natural selecting process called “evolution”. It is from this unique perspective that “your body” performs “acts of sensing” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain” and “acts of wording” in a manner coordinated by “your brain.

For example, as an “infant”, acting from “your own unique perspective”, “your body” senses each vibrating something of substance in “your surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain”; yet, at birth, this “infant” that is “you” has no vibrations with meaning -- no “words/symbols/images” -- by which to identify each of these vibrating something of substance.

These vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge later; but only after “your body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” has produced its first vibration with meaning (its first word)....its first act of wording....from its own unique perspective.

It is then and only then, after you have produced your first vibration with meaning (“your first word”) from your own unique perspective, that “you” can superpose upon each vibrating something of substance with which “your body/brain” is interacting a specific sound/mark/vibration.²⁶

And, it is then and only then, after you have produced “your first vibration with meaning” (“your first word”) from your own unique perspective, that these two vibrating existential states called “your verbal reality” and “your mind” emerge;

“your mind” gradually learning to use your vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses.

At this stage, much could be written about how “your mind”....once emerging within its “verbal reality” has been shaped by previous selections made by “your parents”, “their predecessors, and the “tribe/community” in which “you” and “they” were birth. And, much could be written about “syntax”, “language”, “sentence structure”, acceptable linguistic practices, etic. to which “your body”, “your brain”, “your verbal reality” and “your mind” conforms.

However, although of interest, these matters pale when considered in relation to the unique perspective that “your body/brain/mind” has and the fact that present the presence of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” anything can be verbally stated by “you” in “your verbal reality” from your own unique perspective

Thus, the challenge for each of we presences called “human” when striving to simulate (coherently) the “true nature” of “all that exists” is to not only simulate the “true nature” of “all that exists” but also the “true nature” of the “process” by which each expression of “all that exists emerges and has its own unique perspective.²⁷

Keeping these “thoughts” in “mind”, let’s move onward to Part Two by simply turning the page.

PART TWO

“The job of the writer is to make us see the world as it is.”

Susan Sontag

The Conscience of Words

The Seventh Step²⁸

The next step (the seventh step) is for “you” to use these vibrating existential states called “your verbal reality” and “your mind” for the purpose of “self-reflecting” upon the fact that “your body” is always interacting with “its surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain” as “your body” is producing in a manner coordinated by “your brain” these vibrations with meaning that both create and inform “it” (“your mind”) and “its verbal reality”.

For the purpose of recognizing that in each present moment called “Now”:

As “your body” and “its brain” are dwelling in and interacting with a single physical reality that is always emerging from a single physical source and substance and as “your brain” is orchestrating this interacting via vibrating acts now thought of and called sensing

(i) what is now thought of and called “your mind” is dwelling in a “verbal reality” created and informed by “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”; and,

(ii)what is now thought of and called “your words/symbols/images”, are serving as a bridge linking “body/brain” to “mind” and “mind” to “body/brain” (Neuroplasticity).

In other words, as “your body” is interacting with “its surroundings” (physical reality) sensing this physical reality in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”, the vibrating existential state called “your mind” (in a manner coordinated by “your brain”) is choosing (act of selecting) from a menu of all possible vibrations with meaning that create and inform this vibrating existential state called “your verbal reality” the best vibrations with meaning by which to simulate what is happening.... “Now”....in this single physical reality....beneath these vibrations

with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

For Example,

Consider “This Happening”

“You” (or, more particularly, “your body/brain”) -- while in the presence of “your significant other” -- sense “something moving”.

“What’s That. Sounds like something!” You verbally state.

“Oh, It was nothing.” Says your significant other (after checking)

Nevertheless, if it does turn out to be “something”, one or more “words” can be superposed (projected) upon “it” such as (e.g. “It was only the wind”) as can one or more “symbols” (e.g. a number or an equation) or one or more “images” (e.g. a “picture” -- a “picture being worth a thousand words”).

Such is the way of these vibrations with meaning called words, symbols and images. Once emerging, they serve as a bridge between (i) the “mind” and the “verbal reality” in which it dwells and (ii) “its body/brain” and the underlying reality in which its “body/brain” dwells....a bridge that links the body/brain and its verbal reality/mind in two interacting ways:

First Way

In each present moment, the “body” is sensing (in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”) something of substance “moving” (“motion”). In that present moment, the “body” (in a manner coordinated by “its brain”) superposes (projects) upon this moving something of substance one or more vibrations with meaning in the form of one or more specific sounds or specific marks, thereby creating and informing the “mind” and “it verbal reality” of “something happening here”.

Second Way

The “mind” using the vibrations with meaning that both create and inform “it” and “its verbal reality”, selects from a menu of all possible vibrations with meaning, the one or more specific vibrations with meaning (sounds/marks) that create/inform the verbal statements/stories concerning “the something happening here” that “my body/brain” is sensing.

The Eight Step

The next step (the eighth step) involves this vibrating existential state called “your mind” accepting the fact that there is no way for “it” to know for certain how “its brain” is orchestrating the interacting that is occurring between “its body” and “its surroundings” since this interacting is always occurring beneath these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”.

For example, simply take a moment to perform an act of observing (sensing) something of substance and, while performing this act of observing, note:

That as “your mind” is superposing “a word”, a “symbol”, an “image” or “a combination of words, symbols and images” upon this something of substance “your brain” is orchestrating the interacting that is occurring between “your body” and this something of substance;

And

That this orchestrating is always occurring beneath any “word”, “symbol”, “image” or “combination of words, symbols and images” superposed upon this orchestrating or this interacting or this something of substance.²⁹

However, we presences called “humans” do have this bridge that links “body/brain” with “verbal reality/mind” and “we” do have our acts of sensing that have been enhanced through the use of sense enhancing devices that now allow “our minds” to “think” (more deeply) about what is the best word by which to simulate each something of substance, each act of sensing something of substance and each act of interacting .

For example, consider an act of sensing (called “observing/seeing”) when coupled with sense enhancing devices now thought of and called a “microscope”, a “telescope” or a “superconducting supercollider”. Absent the presence of these sense enhancing devices, the deepest states of the “body/brain” and the “universe/multiverse” could not be sensed by “the body/brain” and “thought

about” and “measured” within “the mind”.

However, present the presence of these sense enhancing devices, each of we presences called “human” can now sense in his/her “body/brain” each something of substance as vibrating while his/her “mind” is thinking about that something of substance as “vibrating”, measuring that something of substance as “vibrating” and projecting upon that something of substance the word, vibrating.³⁰

Thus, we presences called “humans” (or, more particularly, “our minds”) have the potential to accept (act of selecting) through verbal agreement, as “factually true”, each of these verbal statements:

That each act of sensing that “its body” is performing is a vibrating act; each vibrating act of sensing being orchestrated by “its brain” as “its body” is interacting with something of substance that is vibrating.³¹

That each act that “the brain” is performing is a vibrating act; each of its acts of coordinating and each of its act of orchestrating being no exception.³²

The Ninth Step

The next step (the ninth step) involves “your mind” recognizing

That each something of substance is always, physically, expressing vibrating characteristics unique to “it”; each “wave”, each “particle”, each “atom”, each “molecule”, each “organism”, each “word/symbol/image”, each presence (no matter what “its name”, “number” or “species”), each “body”, “each “body/brain”, each “mind”, each “verbal reality”, each verbal statement/story and each of we presences called “human” being no exception.

While recognizing that the words, “evolution”, “creationism”, “bio-mimicry”, “mimicry” are simply some of the “words” that are always being superposed (projected) upon the vibrating interacting process by which each vibrating something of substance (no matter what their “name”, “number” or “species”) is always interacting/ interconnecting/communicating with each other vibrating something of substance in “its physical surroundings”.

Frequently called a “natural selecting process” (which it physically is) or an interacting force (“weak”, “strong”, “electro”, “magnetic”, “gravitational” -- both “classical” and “quantum” -- which it physically is) and occasionally called “a natural process of renormalizing (which it physically is), each of these words

(“evolution/creationism/bio-mimicry/mimicry”) stands in for/represents this vibrating interacting (selecting) process by which each expression of “all that exists” emerges from a common source and substance.³³

Recognizing that it is out of this common source and substance pursuant to this vibrating interacting process that each something of substance emerges, it does become relatively easy for a “mind” to understand why each something of substance is sensed by “its body/brain” and measured by “it” as vibrating.

In fact, when thought of as a natural process of renormalizing, it does become apparent to “the mind” that this vibrating interacting process is the selecting process by which (in physical reality -- both classical and quantum) what is called the “wave function” collapses: this vibrating interacting (selecting) process being the “Creative Process” by which each vibrating something of substance emerges, having vibrating characteristics (e.g. “frequency/intensity”, “geometry/space”, “spin”) and an “Historical Bias” (e.g. “genetic information/DNA/RNA/karma”) unique to it....

....this Historical Bias being a bias that naturally emerges in physical reality and in “each body”, “each brain”, each “verbal reality” and “each mind”

....this bias naturally favoring acts of selecting previously made.

~~~

Which leads to the tenth step; the tenth step being the most challenging step for “your mind” to make since it involves “your mind” choosing (act of selecting) to accept through verbal agreement that the word, “Vibration” is the best word by which to simulate the common source and substance out of which each vibrating something of substance emerges.³⁴

The Tenth Step

The next step (the tenth step) is based upon each of the first nine steps being embraced by “the mind” using this new kind of thinking in which “your mind” is now engaging.

For it is then and only then....after embracing these facts, vibrationally....that the mind (“your mind”) recognizes that:

These vibrations with meaning are always pointing as signs (Semiotics) to the vibrating physical reality and the common source and substance of that physical reality that lies beneath them

And that

The best vibration with meaning (the best word) by which to simulate this common source and substance is “Vibration” since all vibrations with meaning are pointing to “it”....

...the letter “v” being capitalized in honor of this underlying physical phenomenon....this underlying physical presence....being the “source and substance” of “all that exists”....

....being always present in “your body”, “your brain”, “your words/symbols/images”, “your verbal reality”, “your mind”, “your projections, measurements and thoughts” and “your verbal statements/stories.

~~~

In other words, once “a mind” (“your mind”) recognizes that what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are now thought of and called vibrations with meaning and what are now thought of and called “the mind” and “its verbal reality” are vibrating existential states that are always pointing to a vibrating physical reality and a common source and substance; it becomes relatively easy for “a mind” of a presence called “human” to accept as fact that the source and substance of each expression of all that exists is Vibration; the single physical reality in which “his/her body/brain” dwells and the “verbal reality” in which “his/her mind” dwells being no exceptions....

....each “body”, “each “brain”, “each word”, “each symbol”, “each image”, “each verbal reality”, “each mind”, “each verbal statement” and “each story” being a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it (Qualia) that can be thought of and called a “vibrating bit of information” (a vibe)....

....a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to “it” and by which it can be identified using these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”....examples being:

“solid”, “liquid”, “gas”

“firm”, “porous”

“substantial” ³⁵

The Eleventh Step

The next step (the eleventh step) is relatively easy for “the mind” once “it” verbally accepts the first ei steps since, thereafter, it becomes relatively each for “the mind” to verbally accept the fact that what is now thought of and called “reality” is really a physical reality that is always emerging, vibrationally, pursuant to a vibrating interacting process by which Vibration acts upon its Infinite Potential....

....it being the same interacting process by which the “body/brain” of each of we presences called “human” acts upon “its” potential and produces what is real/not real for “him/her” in each present moment....

...it being the same interacting process by which this “body/brain acts upon its human potential and produces the vibrations with meaning what both create and inform these two vibrating existential states called “its verbal reality” and “its mind”.³⁶

In fact, it becomes relatively easy for “the mind” to accept the fact that each vibrating something of substance is always interacting/interconnecting (communicating) with each other vibrating something of substance in “its surroundings”

(i) combining through acts of selection called “resonance”

(ii) separating through acts of selection called “interference”; or,

(iii) remaining in its vibrating existential state (its potential to “select/not select”) until it combines through “resonance” or separates through “interference”....an vibrating existential state frequently called “dissonance”.³⁷

The Twelfth Step

The next step (the twelfth and final step) is for “your mind” to accept the fact that:

Each “mind” (as a vibration -- a vibrating existential state) is always interacting, vibrationally, with its “body/brain” (each a vibration -- a vibrating existential state) as “they” (“its body” and “its brain”) are interacting with a vibrating existential state (physical reality) in which each expression of “all that exists” (including “it”) is a vibration expressing its own unique vibrating characteristics for as long as it exists....“its brain” orchestrating this interacting pursuant to this vibrating interacting process.

It is through this vibrating interacting process that Humanity will actualize its true potential and correct its wrong turn; each “mind” and “its body/brain” interacting “as one”, selecting vibrating acts that coherently align with this single vibrating physical reality of which they are a part and this single vibrating source and substance (called Vibration) out of which “they emerged”.

While also recognizing that accepting as facts the verbal statements informing these twelve steps is only “the beginning” for “your mind” since there remains this “matter” (this “burden”) of “proof”....of having to prove “true” to “all minds” that the verbal statements set forth in these twelve steps are “true”.³⁸

This matter of proof being the subject of each writing published by the Center For Vibrational Studies on its website:

www.centerforvibrationalstudies.com

~~~

Think of this “matter of proof”....this “burden of proof”....in this manner.

First, a “mind” must produce verbal statements in the “form” of a story concerning something of substance that is happening beneath the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that inform the verbal statements/story.

Then, other “minds” must agree (i.e. accept through verbal agreement) with this initiating “mind” that the verbal statements/story are “true”.

Recall that in the Note To The Reader, it was verbally stated that:

“Each “word/symbol/image” that you speak/write or hear/see is a sound/mark/vibration whose meaning associated with something of substance that lies beneath “it”....“its meaning” being “unique” to “you” and “your mind” since no one “stands in your shoes” (Qualia) -- no other presence has “your perspective” (Relativity).”

That, in this sense, each of your vibrating linguistic lenses is unique to “you” as are your verbal statements/stories (including your “creation stories”, “your world views” and “your models of reality”).

Each underlying experience occurs first, in this vibration called “the body”....in a manner orchestrated by this vibration called “its brain”.

The underlying experience is simulated within these two vibrating existential states called “the mind” and “its verbal reality” only after these vibrations with meaning -- these vibrating linguistic lenses -- have emerged allowing the “mind” within “its verbal reality” to produce....from its own unique perspective....its verbal statements/story concerning the underlying experience.

Then comes this “burden”....this “matter” of “proving true” to other “minds” that the verbal statements/story concerning your bodily experience is “true”, using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning in a “short-handed” manner.

CONCERNING YOUR JOURNEY, BENEATH WORDS

Words, Symbols and Images are

Sounds/Marks/Vibrations with meaning

~~~

They serve as a Bridge linking

What is produced using them and what exists beneath them.

~~~

That which is produced using them are verbal constructs;

That which exist beneath them exist independent of them.

~~~

However, for a “mind” embedded solely in

The Word, The Symbol and The Image

The distinction between

What lies Above Words (verbal constructs)

and

What Lies Beneath Words

Can easily be lost

~~~~

Leaving

Each individual Mind (a verbal construct)

And

Each collective Mind (a verbal construct)

To wander aimlessly, Above Words, in their respective Verbal Realities

For as long as they exist

Notwithstanding their “bodies/brains”

Will always be dwelling, Beneath Words, in a

Vibrating Reality

Of which they will always be a “part”

For as long as they exist.

You, the reader of these words, are now journeying through the fourth part of Your Journey, Beneath Words; it being a journey in which “you” are being introduced to a new kind of thinking that supplements/complements the current kind of thinking in which most of we presences have been “trained”.

This current kind of thinking treats “the word”, “the symbols” and “the image” as a “words/symbol/image”....nothing more. This new kind of thinking embraces each “word/symbol/image” as specific vibration expressed in the form of a specific sound or specific mark; the meaning of the specific vibration emerging once the specific vibration is associated with another specific vibration that lies beneath it.

The subtle distinction between this current kind of thinking and this new kind of thinking lies in this difference:

This current kind of thinking treats each something of substance as vibrating; the word, vibrating, being a word that most of those presences called “physicists” and “mathematicians” use when sensing, then simulating each something of substance.

This new kind of thinking treats each something of substance as a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to it: a vibration that is vibrating; a vibration having vibrating characteristics that are unique it to and its “species” and that allow it to be distinguish from other vibrations

through acts called sensing (orchestrated by “the brain”) and acts called

wordsmithing (coordinated by “the brain”)

In this sense, each expression of all that exists is a vibration that is always emerging out of Vibration as source/substance and is always interacting and interconnecting (communicating) with each other vibration in its presence pursuant to a natural selecting process....a natural process of renormalizing....that is really a vibrating interacting process....

....a vibrating interacting process by which Vibration acts upon its infinite Potential and produces a single physical reality just like each vibration that emerges from it acts upon its infinite potential and produces its physical reality.

Each expression of Vibration being a “bit of information” (a vibe) that can be

sensed by a body/brain if its mind is appropriately tuned.

~~~

The journey that remains being a personal journey; a “journey” that ultimately allows “you” to experience “your body”, “your brain”, “your mind”, “your words”, “your symbols”, “your images”, “your verbal statements”, “your verbal stories” and the “physical” and “verbal realities” in which “they” dwell as vibrations....

....vibrations that are always interacting and interconnecting (“communicating”), vibrationally with all other vibrations in “their surroundings” for as long as “they” exists....

....each vibration expressing vibrating characteristics unique to “it”....

....each vibration emerging from Vibration....

....its source/ its substance.

It being a “personal journey” about which I, the “speaker/writing” of these vibrations with meaning have “sounded/marked” in many ways as evidenced by the multiple writings set forth on the Center For Vibrational Studies website; this writing....this short book....being only one example.³⁹

1. Acts of Self-Reflecting

If “you”, the reader/listener of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” chose (act of selecting) to use these two vibrating existential states called “your verbal reality” and “your mind” to perform vibrating acts called self-reflecting, “you” (or, more particularly, “your mind”) will soon become “mindfully aware” (“conscious”) of these facts:

Until the first vibration with meaning emerged there existed neither of these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”.

Yet, prior to this first vibration with meaning emerging, this vibrating reality (this “single vibrating physical reality”) did exists as did Vibration and all vibrations then existing....

....each vibration emerging out of Vibration pursuant to a natural selecting process -- a natural process of renormalizing -- that is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process....

....albeit no vibration with meaning existed by which to verbally state so.

It is through this vibrating interacting (selecting) process (a physical process) that all vibrations continued to emerge including these vibrations with meaning.

In fact, you can “think” of this vibrating interacting (selecting) process as the Creative Process by which each expression of Vibration (as source/substance) emerges (which it is) and you can “think” of this selecting process being a process that favors actual selections previously made over potential selections not made (which it does).

In this sense, this vibrating interacting (selecting) process naturally produces in each vibration and all vibrations an Historical Bias favoring selections previously made.

Ultimately, pursuant to this vibrating interacting (selecting) process, we vibrations called “human” emerged with our unique ability to produce these vibrations with meaning in the form of sounds and marks which “we” now choose (act of selecting) to called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, thereby drawing a “distinction” (a “boundary”) between we vibrations called “human” and other vibrations (no matter what their “name”, “number” or “specifies”).

Yet, little “thought” has been given to the fact that Vibration is the source and substance of all that exists or these facts:

The vibrating interacting (selecting) process by which all that exists emerges is a Creative Process that favors selections previously made thereby creating an Historical Bias in favor of those selections.

As a result of this Historical Bias, each vibration senses in its own unique manner and each vibration expresses (as one of its vibrating characteristics) a bias naturally favoring selections previously made....

....a bias that causes the “brain” to orchestrate, vibrationally the interacting/communicating that “its body” is doing in its own unique way⁴⁰.

The only way the vibrating presence of any vibration can be vibrationally sensed by another vibration is through interacting vibrationally with “it”.

The only way any vibrating presence can be distinguished is through sensing its vibrating characteristics.

The only way any vibrating presence can be identified, verbally, is to associate it and its vibrating characteristics with a vibration in the form of a “sound” or a “mark”....a vibration with meaning.

So....yes....in the beginning of the verbal....prior to these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” emerging, there must emerge from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” its first vibration with meaning....its first word.

Nevertheless, the challenge for we vibrations called “humans” (or, more particularly, “our minds”) lies in accepting (through verbal agreement) the fact that Vibration acts upon its Potential and creates each expression of all that exists pursuant to the same process by which each we vibrations called “human” (as a vibrating presence) acts upon himself/herself and produces his/her first vibration with meaning....his/her first word....and the many vibrations with meaning that follow....

....that process being a vibrating interacting (selecting process frequently called a “natural selecting process” or “evolution”....

....occasionally called a natural process of renormalizing or an interacting force....

A process that yields a result (frequently labeled the “law of correspondence” -- as above; so below: as below; so above)....but only as long as there is vibrational coherency between what is emerging above these vibrations with meaning (i.e. “Above Words”) and what is emerging below these vibrations with meaning (i.e. “Beneath Words”)⁴¹

Time

¹Vibration exists independent of “space/time”; fields (dimensions) of space and arrows of time emerge out of Vibration pursuant to its vibrating interacting process; there being many dimensions of space/time. For example, as the first “vibrations” (called “strings” or “things”) emerged from Vibration and began interacting pursuant to this vibrating interacting process, what is now thought of and called “space” (dimensions of space) and what is now thought of and called “time” (arrows of time) emerged out of “their interacting”....the “interacting” of these vibrations....these vibrating somethings of substance called strings/things. Then through the interacting of these vibrations called strings or things, other more complex vibrations emerge; “their interacting” producing a “space/time” that is supported by the previously created “space/time” dimensions. This process is iterative as is evidenced by the fact that when two or more vibrations called “human” begin interacting, emerging out of their interacting is a “space/time” dimension that is unique to “them” and “their interacting”.

²The vibrations that emerge out of Vibration are always interacting and interconnecting (communicating) vibrationally....moment by moment, creating for we vibrations called “human” a collective sense of time and space in each present moment. And, this is “true” for all vibrations including those that inform “words” and those that exists Beneath Words and Above Words.

3. My Apology

There is no easy way to dive beneath words into what lies beneath words using words (and the symbols and images that accompany them). Your words, your symbols and your images are always getting in the way as are your “mind”, “its verbal reality” and all of the verbal statements and stories that emerging within “them”.

More to the point, once you recognize that in each present moment called “Now”, your “verbal reality” and “your mind” are always being constructed with “the words”, “the symbols” and “the images” that you are selecting in that present moment, you ultimately recognize that in each present moment called “Now”, you are actually selecting from a menu of all possible words, symbols and images that can be produced in that moment those words that best described the sensory experience that “your body/brain” is having in that moment.

Thus, when I sit down at my computer for the purpose of using “my mind” to write something of substance concerning the “true nature” of this physical reality in which I dwell and which I am sensing in “my body” in a manner orchestrated by “my brain”, not only am I having an unique “body/brain/mind” experience from my own unique perspective concerning what is actually occurring Beneath Words in this physical reality in which all that exists dwells. I am also using the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that are emerging in my verbal reality and mind for the purpose of doing so.

Since I cannot avoid these facts, it is only natural that in my efforts to speak/write about what is occurring Beneath Words (and the symbols and images that accompany words), the best I can do in that moment of speaking/writing is to select from this menu of all possible “words/symbols/images” those words, symbols and images that....in that present moment....best simulate what I am sensing in my “body/brain” in that moment.

The result: I remain stuck in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and a current kind of thinking embedded in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” since everything I speak/write using the “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” simply skates along the surface of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”.

~~~

There is another way. And, this “other way” involves recognizing the fact that absent the presence of words, symbols and images, nothing can be verbally stated.

Thus, it became important for me to take this first step....to ask the question from whence emerges “the word”....what is “its true nature” since, unless I can answer this question, I could be using words/symbols/images in a way that is not coherent with their “true nature” and the “true nature” of “all that exists”....thereby making a wrong turn.

This book is simply one example of the “speaking/writing” that is emerging from “me”, once I recognized that each of “my words” is a vibration expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning emerges from what lies beneath it and that each of my “mind” and “its verbal reality” are vibrating existential states in which my vibrations with meaning equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “my projections”, “my measurements” and “my thoughts”.

There are many books and many writings that I have authored since that moment of recognition; each being representative of a new kind of thinking to which you have now been introduced through this book.

My apology lies in the fact that I have yet to find an easier way by which to introduce this new kind of thinking. Admittedly, using the linguistic mechanics and linguistic tools previously described is cumbersome. Yet, since the ultimate linguistic tool is a vibration with meaning called a “word/symbol/image” and using “them” can be quite cumbersome, hopefully you will suspend judgement on my linguistic mechanics, choosing (act of selecting) to be patient with “them” as opposed to being not patient with “them”....choosing (act of selecting) to continue to “read” as opposed to “not read” what I have previously written.

MOVING ON

Recall these words (they appeared at the beginning of the book, Beneath Words: What Lies There) concerning the many writings that have and will appear on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies:

~~~

“This book is the first in a series of twelve books that have been written and will be published on the Center’s website. The month in which this first book will be published is January 2020. The remaining eleven books will be published over the following eleven calendar months -- a book per month. The twelve books set forth a journey (Beneath Words) which you can choose to make your journey, Beneath Words, by simply reading this book and moving on from there.

Also appearing on the Center’s website will be a series of papers as well as an archive. The purpose of the series of papers and the archive is to supplement the twelve books with additional writings that I, the writer of these words, have produced along the way while making my journey, Beneath Words; a journey that commenced one night when, while seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing, I entered an existential state in which I experienced not in “the word but beneath “the word”

the sound of running water

The experience was real. In fact, from that moment onward I am always sensing what is now thought of and called a “noun”, “pronoun”, “subject” or “object” as a vibrating something of substance and what is now thought of and called a “verb” as a vibrating act.

Yet, as I soon discovered, writing about these sensory experiences was not easy since to write about these sensory experiences required me to use what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” when what I was really striving to do is dive beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them into what lies beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them.

In other words, in order to write about these sensory experiences that were occurring Beneath Words in my “body” in a manner orchestrated by my “brain”, I had to use the words, symbols and images that created and informed my “verbal reality” and my “mind” to do so....not an easy task.

The first four books of this twelve-book series summarize in the best way I can the lengthy writings appearing in the archive. It is in the archive that you can, by reading the writings located there, experience the struggle I have had setting forth my Journey, Beneath Words in writing.

The next four books expand and elaborate upon what has previously been stated in the first four books; each of these next four books -- in its own unique way -- providing more in depth “color” to what has been stated in the first four books.

The last four book of this twelve-book series are the most tedious to navigate; since each of them -- in its own unique way -- dives deeper and deeper into the true nature of what lies beneath the words and phrases that inform our “languages”; the words, “mind”, “body”, “brain” and the phrases “physical reality” and “source/substance of all that exists” being no exceptions.

Of course, whether or not you choose to embark upon this journey, Beneath Words is your choice. However, my request is that when making this choice to continue/not continue, you remain “mindful” that in each present moment called “Now” you, the reader of these words, have virtually an infinite number of possible choices that you could select -- albeit it may not appear that way in the present moment....the “choice” to continue being only one possibility.

Nevertheless, it is “true” (as you will ultimately discover if you continue on your journey, Beneath Words) that the act that you select in each present moment is involved in the natural selecting process -- the natural process of renormalizing --in which all vibrating presences are engaged....

....that process being a vibrating interacting process by which Vibration (as source/substance) acts upon itself and through all that it creates....

....we presences called “human” and “our bodies”, “our brains”, “our word/symbols/images”, “our minds”, “our verbal realities” and “our verbal statements/stories” being no exceptions.

~~~

Consistent with these words, the next step in your Journey, Beneath Words, is to move on to Book Five, entitled:

Beneath Words: Vibration

However, whether or not you choose to continue on in your journey, consider taking a moment or two each morning to examine an “orange” or an “apple” or a “grapefruit” and as you do so strive to really sense the something of substance on which the word “orange”, “apple” or “grapefruit” is superposed; taking these moments to really experience this something of substance while “seeing”, “smelling”, “tasting”, “touching” and, yes, even listening to this something of substance.

~

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

Lao Tzu

~

There are many steps that follow;

Your Journey, Beneath Words, being no different.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First: To the “presence” who produced the first vibration with meaning in the form of a sound with meaning or a mark with meaning -- thanks; and, to Vibration as the source/substance of all that exists, I acknowledge your presence.

Second: To the initial “teachers” who showed me how to use “my voice” and “my writing hand” (“my body”) in a manner coordinated by “my brain” to produce the “words/symbols/images” that initially created and informed “my mind” and “its verbal reality”; these “teachers” being mostly “my mother” and “my father”.

Third: To the these “initial teachers” and to the other “teachers” that appeared along the way in my “grammar school”, my “grade school”, my “high school” and “my college/law school” that “schooled me” on how to apply “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” in a way acceptable to the “tribe/community/nation” in which my “body/brain” dwelled....a “conventional way” that included a current kind of thinking that simply treated “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more.

Then: To those subsequent “teachers” who showed me a different way....a “road less traveled”....a way that allowed me to dive beneath the surface of the words”, “symbols” and “images” that created and informed “my mind”, “my verbal reality”, “my projections”, “my measurements”, “my thoughts”, “my verbal statements” and “my stories”....

....into these fundamental questions about which I now write....

....fundamental questions whose verbal answers I sought....

....verbal answers that began to appear only after “one night”, when seeking sleep that would not come -- mind racing, I experienced an existential state

....in which there existed “no words”, “no symbols”, “no images” and “no mind”....

....only a “listening”.

POST LOGUE

The next four books that comprise this twelve-book series will be repetitious of what has been verbally stated in the first four books.

Be patient with this new kind of thinking.

It does take a lot of practice to be able to move between the current kind of thinking in which you have been educated into this new kind of thinking.

This new kind of thinking will ultimately supplement your current kind of thinking.

Once having completed the first eight books of this twelve-book series, you will be moving on to the ninth book in the series followed by books ten, eleven and twelve.

The purpose of the last four books being to open “your mind” to what it really means to experience/feel (vibrationally sense)

(i) the collective vibration that is “your body”;

(ii) the collective vibration that is “your brain”;

(iii) the collective vibration that is this “physical reality” in which “your body/brain” dwells;

(iv) Vibration....as “source/substance”;

(v) the vibrating interacting (selecting) process.....as “process”;

(vi) the collective vibration that is “you”;

(vii) the collective vibration that is “us”;

(viii) the collective vibration that is “all that exist”.

¹In other words, “think” of these “infinities” as “potentialities” or “possibilities”; “potentialities/possibilities” that exist in each present moment and are representative of a “potential” that lies within each of we presences called “human” and each expression of all that exists....a potential that is part of the Potential out of which all that exists emerges....a Potential whose true physical nature (Vibration) will gradually be revealed to “your mind” if “your mind” is willing to engage in this new kind of thinking to which it is now being introduced.

²Although each expression of all that exists (no matter what its “name”, “number” or “species”) interacts (communicates), vibrationally, with each other and although many “species” interact (communicate), vibrationally, among “themselves” through sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning), we “humans” are the only species that call our sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images”. And, although many of these “species” have two vibrating existential states that (i) are both created and informed by the unique sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning they produce and (ii) allow them to interact/communicate between and among themselves more effectively, we “humans” are the only species that call these two vibrating existential states “mind/verbal reality”.

³Proving “words/symbols/images” are sounds/marks is relatively easy. Simply observe how you produce your spoken word and your written word and you will “get the point”. Proving sounds are vibrations is relatively easy since they are functions of Vibration called Sound. Proving marks are vibrations is more difficult until your mind recognizes that absent Vibration called Light there would be only dark (no way to “see”). Proving each “word/symbol/image” has a meaning is relatively easy since there exist “dictionaries” and “glossaries” to consult for that purpose. However, proving the real meaning of a “word/symbol/image” lies not in “the word” but in the vibration to which it points (like a sign) is quite challenging....really challenging until “your mind” accepts the fact that “it” and “its verbal reality” are product of these sounds/marks/vibrations called “words/symbols/images”; their meaning being associated with what lies beneath them. Enter the scientist....or, more particularly, the “physicists” who marks a language called “math” and who cancels out “pesky infinities” selecting certain “boundary conditions” within which to explore what lies beneath all “words/symbols/images”. Admittedly, I, the writer of these words, focus quite a bit of my writing on science (or, more particularly) those “physicists/mathematicians” who embrace the fact that in order to exist....any “thing” (be it called a “cell”, a “molecule”, an “atom”, a “particle” or a “string”) must be vibrating. To be sure, from my perspective, this is where the “focus” needs to be. Yet, it is this current kind of thinking that this new kind of thinking challenges: not because this current kind of thinking is “wrong”. Rather, it is because this current kind of thinking does not go deep enough. By going deeper, I mean embracing the fact that “the cell”, the “molecule”, the “atom”, the “particle”, “the string” are not only vibrating; they are vibrations having vibrating characteristics that are unique to “them” and allow “them” to be called by their unique names (but only after we vibrations called “human” have these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” at our disposal.

⁴Assuming you, the reader of these words, have read the previous three books in this series of twelve books, you now know that these acts of selecting are really a part of this vibrating interacting selecting process by which Vibration acts upon itself; the only difference being that Vibration is acting on its Potential (P) pursuant to this process as you are acting upon your potential (p) pursuant to this process: the formula VP:+/- representing the former (Vibration acting on its Potential and producing this collective vibration called “physical reality”); the formula vp:+/- (you as a vibration acting on your potential and producing this collective vibration called “your verbal reality”....what is now thought of and called the wave function as evidenced by Schrödinger’s Equation being the best “map” by which to simulate Vibration’s Potential (P) and each vibration’s potential (p).

⁶You can learn more about Mike Murphy and Edgar Mitchell by reading their books or by visiting Esalen or IONS. You may want to pay particular attention to Mike’s books, Golf In The Kingdom and Psychic Side Of Sports, and Edgar’s book, The Way of the Explorer and PSYCHIC Exploration.

⁷When reading the next section, remain “mindful” that when a “human” is using sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” to “speak” (sound) or “write” (mark), he/she is “speaking/writing” in “code”; my “writing/speaking” and “your listening/reading” being no exceptions.

⁸The “words/symbols/images” that create and inform each mind and its verbal reality come and go as do their definitions. A “word” existing in one language may be impossible to translate into a “word” existing in another language. A language such as mathematics or physics is meant to clarify through the use of symbols and images. Yet, the speakers/listeners of these languages still have their matters of “interpretation” as to “who is right/who is wrong”. One example is the use of the word, “qubit”. See QBism, The Future of Quantum Physics (von Baeyer, Harvard University Press, 2016 commencing at page 92...The Simplest Wave Function). Another example is combining the “word”, interference, with the words constructive/destructive. In “my mind”, constructive interference = resonance and destructive interference = not resonance/interference”: “dissonace” = potential.

⁹There are three points for you, the reader of these words, to consider before turning the page; each point being embraced by this new kind of thinking. First point: what is now thought of and called “physical” and what is now thought of and called “metaphysical” are really two views of the same vibrating reality; a single physical reality that is always emerging from Vibration as source and substance. Second point: As these vibrations with meaning emerge, they imprint a vibrating verbal reality upon the vibrating physical reality that lies beneath it. Third point: If this connection between these realities is lost, “you” (or, more particularly, “your mind”) will become “lost”....in “the word”.

¹⁰So....yes....it can be verbally stated that in the beginning was “the word” since, in fact, the beginning of any “verbal reality” commences with the first word. Yet, it is only after this “verbal reality” emerges with many “words/symbols/images” that a “mind” (existing in this “verbal reality”) can produce these two questions and seek their answers; an inquiry that ultimately leads to journeying Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany words into (i) “the body”, (ii) “the brain”, (iii) the underlying physical reality in which “the body” and “the brain” emerge and (iv) the source and substance from which “they” emerge.

¹¹Through a natural selecting process now thought of and called “evolution”, what is now thought of and called a “body” (a presence -- something of substance) emerges first. Then emerges this something of substance now thought of and called “the brain”. Then emerges what is now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, but only after “a body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce “them”. Then emerges what is now thought of and called “the mind” and “its verbal reality”. As a result of this natural selecting process, (i) “each body”, (ii) “each body with a brain”, (iii) the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that emerge from “each body with a brain” as well as (iv) the “mind” and (v) “its verbal reality” are a part of what can be thought of and called (and actually is) a single physical reality” that is always emerging from a single physical source and substance. Having a “verbal reality” and a “mind” created and informed by “words”, “symbols” and “images” allows a presence called “human” to think about, measure and project upon this single reality and its single source and substance what can now be thought of and called verbal statements and stories. Yet, no matter how “hard” you “try” (or, more particularly, “your mind” tries) to measure “whole” this physical reality and its physical source and substance, you cannot escape this fact: What is now thought of and called “your body”, “your brain” and “your mind” are a part of this single physical reality and its single physical source/substance; a single reality and single source and substance that “you” can never observe “whole” since “you” are a part of the “whole”....always a “participant”, never an “objective observer”.

¹²The quotes are from book entitled “The Ending of Time” (Harper/San Francisco, 1985), Chapter 1: The Roots of Psychological Conflict; a dialogue between J. Krishnamurti (first quote) & Dr. David Bohm (second quote).

¹³In other words, this second step requires the “mind” accepting the fact that “it” is emerging within “its verbal reality” as these sounds/marks with meaning called “words/symbols/images” are emerging from “its body/brain”; “its” acts of “thinking”, “measuring” and “projecting” being a function these sounds/marks with meaning called “words/symbols/images”. See Footnote 4.

¹⁴Using “your mind” -- a mind informed by these “sounds” and “marks” called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, imagine what is now thought of and called a “mouse” moving within the domain of the lion’s roar or the wolf’s mark. Although each of the “mouse”, the “lion” and the “wolf” has no words, symbols and images, at its disposal, the “mouse” does “understand” in its own unique evolutionary way, that the “lion” or the “wolf” is “present” and that for purposes of its survival (the survival of the “mouse”), it needs to “be careful” since “something happening here”. We presences called “humans” in our own unique evolutionary way have taken the act of sounding and the act of marking to a new evolutionary level; namely, the act of producing “sounds” and the act of producing “marks” in the form of “words”, “symbols” and “images” using “voice” and “hand”....an “art form” that is now used to create new “boundaries”.

¹⁵More To The Point: What is now thought of and called “the mind” and “its verbal reality” emerge through the same natural selecting process by which the “body” and “its brain” emerge. Called “evolution”, it is also pursuant to this natural selecting process that “the mind” emerges within a “verbal reality” comprised of many sounds with meaning and marks with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. And, it is pursuant to the natural selecting process called “evolution” that the “mind” either learns or is taught to choose (act of selecting) from an infinite number of sounds/marks with meaning that potentially are available, the specific sounds with meaning and/or the specific marks with meaning that inform (and, if not careful will always inform) “it” (the mind) and “its verbal reality”. Yet, as previously indicated, absent the presence of these sounds/marks with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”....i.e. but for these sounds/marks with meaning emerging from a “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”....no “mind” or “verbal reality” would exist in which acts of thinking, measuring and projecting could be performed or verbal statements/stories could be produced. To be sure, having this awareness, allows “you” (or, more particularly, “your mind”) to embrace the “body/brain” as the “source” of “the word” as well as “the symbol” and “the image”. Yet, the “mind” cannot stop at this third step....by simply recognizing that “words”, “symbols” and “images” are sounds/marks with meaning that emerge from “the body” and “its brain”. “It” must journey deeper beneath these sounds/marks with meaning for the purpose of identifying the true nature of each “body”, each “body/brain”, each “sound/mark, each “word/symbol/image”, each “verbal statement/story” as well as this single (physical) reality in which “they” emerge and the single physical source/substance out of which “they” emerge.

¹⁶ The “marking tool” can be a “stick”, a “stone”, a “twig with pigment”, a “piece of carbon”, a “pencil” a “pen”, a “printing press”, the “keyboard” of a “typewriter” or a “computer”; the “smooth surface” can be “sand”, “dirt”, “wall of cave”, “parchment”, “paper”, “carbon paper” or a “computer screen”. All these marking tools and smooth surfaces have been used by we presences called “human” during different moments in our unique evolutionary way.

¹⁷The vibration with meaning that is “the spoken/sounded word”, once produced, simply emerges into “its surroundings”, thereby allowing its presence to be “heard” by all those presences that exist within “its surroundings” and have emerged with this sense called “hearing”.

¹⁸Similar to a vibration with meaning that is “spoken/sounded”, the vibration with meaning that is “the written/marked word”, once produced, simply emerges into “its surroundings”, thereby allowing its presence to be “seen” by all those presences that exist within “its surroundings” and have emerged with this sense called “seeing”.

¹⁹Using “your mind” -- a mind informed by these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, imagine living in “the dark”, not being able to “see” a “mark”. “Light” -- or, more particularly, Vibration called “Light” -- allows “you” (or, more particularly, “your body in a manner orchestrated by “your brain”) to “see” what are now thought of and called “marks”. Absent the presence of “Light”, no “mark” can be seen nor could the marked/drawn/written “word/symbol/image” have been produced. Of course, even in the “Dark”, a “sound” can be “heard”. The existence of Vibration called “Sound” is a condition (boundary condition -- initial condition) to a sense called “hearing” just as the existence of Vibration called “Light” is a condition (boundary condition -- initial condition) to a sense called “seeing”; the act of sensing called “hearing” or “seeing” being an act that each of we presences called “human” can (and does) perform in his/her own unique way, assuming he/she has a healthy “body/brain” (e.g. not sensory impaired, at birth, such as being “deaf”, “blind” or “deaf/blind”, having to rely on other vibrating acts of sensing called “smelling”, “tasting” and “touching”).

²⁰More To The Point: Each of we presences called “human” has an unique “body/brain” from which he/she performs his/her acts of sensing. Using “your mind”, imagine that....while being outside in the “sunlight....“you” are standing still in the middle of a circle, on the periphery of which are located twelve (12) chairs in clock-like fashion. Occupying each of these chairs is another presence called “human” having his/her own unique “body/brain”. Each of these presences called “human” is performing a act of sensing called “seeing”, each of “them” performing his/her act of “seeing you” in the “sunlight” as “you” are standing still in the middle of this circle. Now consider this: each of the twelve presences called “human” has a different perspective of “you” due to the location of his/her “chair”. Not only does he or she “see you” from his/her seated perspective; his/her perspective is affected by the angle of the “sunlight” (and whatever “shadow” is emerging). To prove this point: When you have a moment simply place a “flower” in a “vase” on a round table in the sunlight and as you walk around (circle) the “table”, note the different perspectives that you have of what you can now think of and call “flower in vase on round table”. It makes no difference whether the act of sensing that you are performing is called “seeing”, “hearing”, “smelling”, “touching” or “tasting”, what is always occurring is that “your body” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain” is performing each act of sensing from its own unique perspective (Relativity) in its own unique way (Qualia). Simply stated: No matter what act of sensing “your body/brain” is performing, “it” (“your body/brain) is performing this act called “sensing” from its own unique perspective. And, this is “true”, whether or not “your body/brain” has learned or been taught to superpose (project) upon the sensory experience one or more vibrations with meaning -- one or more sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images....no matter whether or not “you” have a “verbal reality” and “mind” in which you can verbally state so.

²¹See Author’s Note re: “renormalizing”

²²See Twelve Steps (Précis)

²³Always be mindful that the words “verbal” and “nonverbal” are both vibrations with meaning: the former pointing to these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality/mind” and the vibrations with meaning that create/inform “them”; the latter (the word, “nonverbal”) pointing to what lies beneath “them”.

²⁴Many of the writings appearing on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies cover what is occurring Above Words in “our verbal reality”, “our minds”, “our verbal statements” and “our stories” including the emergence of verbal boundaries and verbal conflicts that can lead to physical conflicts.

²⁵This is the role of the “scientists”; not only to produce but also to test all theoretical simulations through acts of observing, aided by such sense enhancing devices (microscope, a telescope, a computer, superconducting/supercollider).

²⁶For example, superposing upon this vibrating something of substance the word, “mama”....the phonetic sound/mark/vibration, “ma ma”.

²⁷See Footnote 19 and the text relating to this footnote. The role of a “scientist” is to be an “objective observer”. However, if the “true nature” of the “scientist” is vibration (which it is) and the “true nature” of the “equipment” that the “scientist” uses is vibration (which it is), then the “scientist” and his/her “equipment” are a “part” of the “whole”: each being a “participant in”; not an “objective observer of”. More to the point: If the “true nature” of the “physical reality” that the “scientist” is “viewing” is vibration (which it is) and the true nature of his/her “verbal reality”, “mind” and his/her vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” is vibration (which it is), then this role of “objective observer” can never be achieved. Thus, the best any “scientist” can do is to produce the best simulation of his/her participating in this physical reality....as weird or bizarre as that may now sound/appear to you, the listener/reader.

²⁸As the something of substance called “you” moves onward through these next six steps, always remain “mindful” that what is called “your body”, “your brain”, and this single physical reality in which “they” dwell” is something of substance whose true nature is vibration; a fact these next six steps strives to establish.

²⁹See Précis, specifically Footnote 3 and surrounding text.

³⁰It is through the use of sense enhancing devices that “scientists” are fulfilling their role of observing (function of body/mind) and simulating (function of “verbal reality/mind”) the deepest existential states of the “body/brain” and the “universe/multiverse”, complementing these devices with what is now thought of and called functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and artificial intelligence (AI).

³¹The irony is that every something of substance is vibrating including but not limited to each sense enhancing device; that fact being a fact that this new kind of thinking embraces and the current kind of thinking ignores.

³²Through the preceding seven steps, reference has been made to the “brain” coordinating the emerging from “the body” of these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” while orchestrating the interacting that is always occurring between the “body” and “its surroundings”.

Each of these acts of coordinating/orchestrating is a vibrating act. Best practice is that before moving on to Step Eight, you (or, more particularly, “your mind”) begin again at Step One and perform each of the preceding seven steps again, treating each of these acts as vibrating acts:

(i) each act of coordinating and orchestrating that each “brain” performs;

(ii) each act of sensing and interacting each “body” performs

(iii) each act of thinking, measuring, projecting, verbally stating and story

telling in which each “mind” engages.

³³Hard to believe but “true”, each of these verbal phrases is a function of the “subject matter” being addressed; the “subject matters” called biology, chemistry and physics being no exception. Even harder to believe but “true”; each of these verbal phrases are simply shorthanded ways by which “our minds” have learned to use our vibrations with meaning. Simply stated: much like a stenographer records in a shorthanded way (“code”) the vibrations with meaning he/she is “hearing”, we presences called “human” record in a shorthanded way (“code”) the vibrations “we” are sensing. In other words, “your stating” the “words”....the verbal phrase....“I am” is simply a shorthanded way (“code”) for representing the vibration that “you are”.

³⁴All that exists is vibrating and all that exists is interacting vibrationally in a vibrating physical reality; each expression of all that exists existing in this vibrating physical reality expressing vibrating characteristic unique to it “species” and unique to “it”....“your body”, “your brain” and each something of substance with which “your body/brain” interacts being no exception. Having moved through the first nine steps, it should be relatively easy for this vibrating existential state called “your mind” to accept that all that exists is vibrating. However, accepting that this vibrating something of substance called Vibration is the source and substance of all that exists can be quite challenging.

³⁵Having emerged out of Vibration as source/substance pursuant to this vibrating interacting process, the vibration called “my body” interacts, vibrationally, with the vibrations that comprise “my surrounding reality” through acts of sensing orchestrated by this vibration called “my brain”, this vibration (i.e. this vibrating existential state) called “my mind” superposing upon each vibration that “my body/brain” is sensing, vibrationally, a vibration with meaning (a vibrating linguistic lens called a “projection”, a “measurement”, a “thought”, a “verbal statement”, a “story”); this act of superposing being a vibrating act that can only emerge after “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce these vibrations with meaning and create/inform these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”. When the vibration that is “my body” senses -- in a manner orchestrated by the vibration that is “my brain” -- another vibration as a vibrating presence (i.e. a vibrating something of substance that has vibrating characteristics unique to “it”), the vibration that is “my mind” chooses (act of selecting) from a menu of an infinite number of vibrations with meaning one or more vibrations with meaning that simulates “my body’s sensory experience). “It’s solid!”. “it’s liquid!”. “It’s gas!”. “It’s firm!” “It’s porous!”. “It’s substantial!”. “It’s something of substance!” “It’s present!” “It is a presence called____?____!” Such is the way of Vibration and its vibrating interacting process.

³⁶There is a simple formula....what can be thought of and called the master equation/algorithm....by which Vibration acts upon itself; that formula being

V(P):+/-

In which:

V = Vibration

(P) = Vibration’s Potential

: = vibrating interacting (selecting) process

+/- = physical realty selected/physical realities not selected.

A “formula” that can be adjusted for each vibration by simply substituting a v for V and a p for P; this “formula” applying to each vibration; each vibration called “human” and his/her “body/brain/mind” being no exception.

³⁷Within the verbal field of study called “physics” in which these presences called “human” (also called “physicists) are embedded, it is not unusual for the “minds” of these physicists to accept (through verbal agreement) that each something of substance is vibrating. In fact, most “groups” of “physicists” would verbally agree that the only way to prove something of substance exists is to measure its vibrating characteristics. Indeed, more recently, it has not been unusual for certain “groups” of “physicists” to verbally simulate (theoretically) each vibrating something of substance as a vibrating field (also called a system) having boundary conditions (initial conditions) unique to “it”; and, then for “them” to accept this verbal simulation as “true” based upon a sensing that occurs within a physical laboratory, using sense enhancing devices such as “microscopes”, “telescopes”, “linear accelerators” or “superconducting supercolliders”. And, this deep dive into physical reality continues. Thus, having found the “Higgs boson” (or, better yet, the “Higgs Field”), what is now occurring is an attempt to prove (through verbal agreement) that what is now thought of and called “string theory” and “M theory” is “true”.....two verbal concepts that most likely are “true” and will be proved “true” -- but only after there is a subtle shift that occurs within the “tribe/community” of “physicists” as a whole. The Shift: It being a shift from treating each something of substance as only vibrating to treating each something of substance as a vibration exhibiting vibrating characteristics unique to it and a recognition that what is now thought of and called “dimensions” of “space/time” are always emerging as Vibration is acting upon its Potential pursuant to this vibrating interacting (selecting) process.

³⁸And, that is “the point”. Each of these twelve steps are nothing more than a series of verbal statements that comprise a verbal story that remains to be prove true -- a “speculative philosophy”, a “theology”, “theory”, a “model of reality”, an “equation” and a “master algorithm” -- that remains to be proved true....this matter of proof being quite difficult since, as the “physicists” are discovering, the best that can be done, verbally is to simulate what is called “reality” and “its source/substance” since “reality” and “its source and substance” can never be “observed whole”.

³⁹Consider this verbal statement: There is no way we presences called “human” can exit our “mind”, “its verbal reality” and “its projections”, “its measurements” and “its thinking” as long as “we” are using “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images” to construct “our verbal statements/stories”. If “we” are to really explore what it means to be human and understand our true nature, “we” must dare to dive deep Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany “them” into the sounds/marks with meaning -- the vibrations with meaning -- that lie there, shifting “our listening/seeing/smelling/tasting/touching” to these vibrations and the vibrations that lie beneath “them”.

⁴⁰In other words: The vibration that is “your brain” orchestrates the interacting between “your body” and “its physical surroundings” consistent with this natural selecting process....this natural process of renormalizing...that is really a vibrating interacting (selecting) process (a “Creative Process”) pursuant to which each “body” and each “brain” are naturally biased, vibrationally (i.e. “Historically Biased”. Simply stated: through this Creative Process, the vibration that is “you” senses in a manner unique to “you”; “your acts of sensing” being shaped by the many selections that have previously been made pursuant to this Creative Process.

⁴¹At the most fundamental level of vibrational existence, this “law of correspondence” is “true”; yet, within these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind”, this “law of correspondence” remains “true” only if the vibrating verbal statements/stories produced by the “mind” vibrationally (coherently) simulate the underlying vibrating reality in which these vibrations called “its body” and “its brain” dwell. However, if the “mind” shifts to a kind of thinking that cedes dominance to the “mind” instead of “its body/brain”, strange “thoughts”, “measurements”, “projections”, “verbal statements” and “stories” can emerge as can the “games people play”.
