Humanity’s Wrong Turn -- Revisited

William Bruce Sechrest

This book is the sixth in a series of twelve books published by the Center For Vibrational Studies. Each book bears the title Beneath Words©; each book comprising a part of a journey bearing a similar name. Best practice is to read these twelve books in the order in which they are published.

Note To The Reader

For what it’s worth....at this stage of your Journey, Beneath Words, it now seems important that I, the writer of these words, provide you, the reader of these words, with a bit of historical information concerning my writing of this twelve-book series and the book, Humanity Wrong Turn: Humanity’s Challenge.

Simply Stated: The twelve books comprising the twelve-book series were written first. Humanity’s Wrong Turn: Humanity’s Challenge was written later....for the purpose of “setting the stage” for the twelve-book series.

Somehow -- some way -- I had to make the point that through a vibrating interacting (selecting) process now thought of and called an “evolutionary process”, all that exist had emerged out of Vibration and would continue to emerge out of Vibration pursuant to this process. That “point” was made in Humanity’s Wrong Turn/Humanity’s Challenge; a book that I consider “required reading” before commencing the twelve-book series.

Also, consistent with emphasizing this “point”, I found it necessary to embellish each of the first six books in this twelve-book series with a preparatory comment and Post Logue; each preparatory comment and Post Logue being my way of “grounding” what I was writing....making my writing more “understandable”.

This book -- the sixth book in the twelve-book series -- follows that template. As will the last six books in this twelve-book series

As promised, all twelve books in this twelve-part series will be published in 2020, followed by an expansion of the Center’s website which will explode on the scene in early 2021.

Until then, please read each of the twelve books in the order in which they were published.

And, please: Please excuse any typos that you find along the way; it being difficult for me, the sole editor of my writing, to catch these pesky “typos”. My hope being that none of these “typos” accidently shift the meaning of my “words” to an interpretation outside my “true intention”.

Alfred North Whitehead

Author’s Preparatory Comment

I have always had a curiosity about “the body” and “its brain”. When I had the chance (the “choice” -- act of selecting) to visit the Gladstone Institute in San Francisco, California, I did so. And, while visiting there, I had the opportunity to view through sense enhancing devices called “microscopes” multiple “slides”; each “slide” having on its “surface” four (4) what are now thought of and called “heart stem cells”.

As it turned out, when I looked through many of these “microscopes”, I could sense “nothing happening”. However, when I looked through a few of these “microscopes”, I could sense “something happening”....the “something happening” being a “rhythmic beating”....portending the “beating” of a “heart”....

....my sense of “something happening” being that those four heart stem cells that were rhythmically beating were actually vibrating in resonance....

....that these four heart stem cells were actually communicating through a vibrating interacting process.

It was only later....much later....that I concluded that this vibrating interacting process was this natural selecting process....this natural renormalizing process....now called “evolution” and that these “stem cells” were vibrations interacting/communicating vibrationally.¹

Clearly (at least to me), some of these four (4) cell groups were vibrating in resonance; some of these four (4) cell groups were not vibrating in resonance.

However, later on that evening, at dinner....my “tour” of the Gladstone Institute being “over”....I had the opportunity to inquire of “my tour leader” as to what he “thought” concerning how those four stem cells that were beating rhythmically were “communicating”.

There was little clarity provided to my question.

At the time of my writing these words, stem cell research at the Gladstone Institute has now advanced to building on the breakthrough development of what is now thought of and called an induced pluripotent stem cell technology.

However, my hope is that the pioneers in this stem cell research have....or will soon....accept may way of thinking that every “cell” is a vibration having vibrating characteristics unique to “it” and that “cells” interact/communicate with other cells vibrationally -- thereby commencing the process of correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

Humanity’s Wrong Turn

As you, the reader of these words, are now “mindful”, I “think” that Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred long ago

When Humanity (or, more particularly, its members) first began treating words, symbols and images as only words, symbols and images instead of treating words, symbols and images as 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

Humanity’s Challenge lies in course-correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn:

This book being the sixth book in a twelve-book series that introduces a new kind of thinking by which this “challenge” can be met.

Each of these twelve-books setting forth this new kind of thinking for the purpose of course-correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

This book and the remaining six books in this twelve-book series elaborating upon this new kind of thinking to which you, the reader of these words, have now been introduced in the preceding five books of this twelve-book series.

A New Kind Of Thinking

Now the curious “thing” about what I have just verbally stated is that absent the presence of what are called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, I could not make these verbal statements concerning the Gladstone Institute or Humanity’s Wrong Turn nor could I “think”.

Nor could I, the writer of these words, or you, the reader of these words....or any “human” having “words/symbols/images” at his/her disposal....choose (act of selecting) to use his/her “mind” and “verbal reality”:

(i) to analyze the interrelationship of “the body”, “the brain” and “the mind”;

(ii) to determine what it means to interact ( “communicate”); or,

(iii) to strive to understand the true nature of “the body”, “the brain” and “the mind” as well as to grasp both

(a) the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”; and,

(b) from whence “they” (these “words/symbols/images”) emerge?

Nor could any “human” verbally construct a creation story or model of reality that accurately (coherently) maps Above Words what is occurring Beneath Words using “words”, “symbols” and “images” as a bridge to do so.

Nor could this “human” or Humanity use any kind of thinking to do so.

Current Kind Of Thinking

Admittedly, this current kind of thinking in which Humanity is now being “schooled” is responsible for many “advances” that are unique to “our species” when compared to other species.

Yet, this current kind of thinking has also led to many problems that cannot be solved using it; some of these problems relating to the extinction of many “species” that have lived on our planet (“Earth”) and the possible extinction of many more “species” including, potentially, even “us” through what can be thought of as “eradication” through “war”, “global warming”, the “carbon footprint”, “disease”.

Problems that require a new way of “thinking”, “measuring”, “projecting” and “storytelling”:

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”).

Problems that led Albert Einstein to state: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Problems that lead Alfred North Whitehead to state:

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge

the symbols on which humanity depends.”

Humanity’s Challenge -- Revisited

Humanity’s Challenge lies in course-correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn. A new way of thinking is needed; it being a new kind of thinking about which I write.

Admittedly, this course-correcting can be quite the challenge since it does require learning how “to think” using this new kind of thinking.

And, as previously suggested, “learning” to “think” using this new kind of thinking takes practice....a lot of practice.

Thus, I, the writer of these words, find it necessary to repeat over and over again and again what I have previously verbally stated in previous writings....

....an example being the specific words, symbols and images that comprise the remainder of this preparatory comment....

....these words (and the symbols and images) that accompany them being lifted from the Author’s Preparatory Comment appearing in the Fifth Book of this twelve-book series -- that fifth book being styled....

....Beneath Words: More To The Point.

These “words”, “symbols” and “images” serving as a reminder (re-mind-er) that, perhaps, the hardest verbal statements for “the mind” (“your mind”) to accept are the verbal statements that describe how all “words/symbols/images” and all “minds” (including “your words/symbols/images” and “your mind”) emerge.²

This New Kind Of Thinking

(About Which I Write)

This new kind of thinking embraces these verbal statements as facts:

I

Concerning Words/Symbols/Images

What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are really vibrations:

(i) that emerge from “the body” in the form of a sound or a mark: and

(ii) whose meanings are associated with the vibrations that lies beneath them.

Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything. Present the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” anything can be verbally stated about anything and, potentially, anything verbally stated in the positive (+) can also be verbally stated in the negative (-)....for example:

I/Not I

God/Not God

I exist/I not exist

God exists/God not exists

God exists (absent the word)/God not exist (absent the word)

I exist (absent the presence of word)/I not exist (absent the presence of words)

More To The Point:

A “baby” is born. Called an “infant”, this “baby” has no “words/symbols/images” at its disposal. To be sure, the “baby” can “coo/cry”, “urinate”, “defecate” and thereby makes its own unique sounds and its own unique marks. Yet, this “infant/baby” emerges at birth with only the potential (p) to produce these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Consider This:

Many “species” perform acts called sounding and acts called marking. For example:

“Bees buzz”; “lions roar”; “coyotes howl”;

“Wolves mark” as do “cats” and “dogs”

(“they mark their territories”)

And, many “species” have their own unique way of producing sounds/marks/ vibrations whose meanings are only known to “them”.

Nevertheless, we “humans” are the only “species” that calls our sounds/marks/ vibrations with meaning “words/symbols/images”.

Simply Stated:

These sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “word/symbols/images” emerge from the “body” only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by its “brain” can

(i) produce a specific vibration in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark using the mechanics of “voice” and “hand” (the latter aided by a marking tool applied to a “smooth surface”); and,

(ii) associate that specific vibration with something of substance (a vibrating vibration) that lies beneath “it” and gives “it” its meaning.³

II

Concerning The Mind And Its Verbal Reality

What are now thought of and called “the mind” and “its verbal reality” are really vibrating existential states created and informed by these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”; it being within “the mind” that these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses through which the “mind” (while dwelling within its own unique “verbal reality”) views and produces verbal statements (stories) concerning what is occurring Beneath Words.⁴

More To The Point:

What is called “the mind” dwells in a “verbal reality” created and informed by the unique “words/symbols/images” that inform “them”. What is called “the body” and “its brain” dwells in an underlying reality upon which these “words/symbols/images” are superposed.

Simply stated:

The “mind” dwells in a “verbal reality” - Above Words: the “body” and its “brain” dwells in an underlying reality - Beneath Words; these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” serving as a verbal bridge (Bridge) connecting what lies Above Words with what lies Beneath Words....

....each “word”, each “symbol” and each “image” being a “bit of information” expressed in the form of a code....

....there being no difference among “words/symbols/images” at their most fundamental of existence....

....each being a vibration with meaning pointing to a vibration that lies beneath them.

III

Concerning Languages And Their Syntax

In addition, to creating and informing these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “verbal reality”, these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” create and inform each “language” and the “syntax” that informs each “language”; “syntax” being the way in which these sounds/mark/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are combined to form “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, etc.

More To The Point:

Not only does an “infant” turned “toddler”, turned “child”, turn “student” have to learn or be taught how to produce his/her unique sounds/marks/vibration with meaning called “words/symbols/image”; he/she also has to learn/be taught how to string these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning together into a “phrase”, a “clause”, a “sentence”, a “paragraph”, a “poem” a “treatise” a “creation story”, a “model of reality”....in a manner acceptable to his/her tribe or community.

Simply Stated:

Each “tribe” and each “community” has its own unique acceptable manner in which the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “its words”, “its symbols” and “its images” are create and inform its uniquely sounded/marked language” is to be strung together thereby informing its “syntax”; this acceptable manner:

Not only being implemented by “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”

But also shaping the vibrational way the “brain” (as a vibration) is interacting and interconnecting (“communicating”), vibrationally, with the “mind”.

This interacting/interconnecting/communicating being a vibrational feedback system.⁵

IV

Concerning Thoughts, Measurements, Projections

And Verbal Statements/Stories

It is out of “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” that these sounds/marks/

vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge; these two vibrating existential states called “mind” and “verbal reality” emerging as these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are emerging.

It is within “the mind” that these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses....

....vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which the “mind”, while dwelling within its own unique “verbal reality” -- Above Words....

....views and produces verbal statements (stories) concerning what is occurring Beneath Words.

Each unique “language” and “its syntax” emerges later; only after “the mind” has either learned on its own or been taught to string these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” into vibrating linguistic lenses called “phrases”, “clauses”, “sentences”, “paragraphs”, “treatise”, “creation stories”, “models of reality”, etc.

Early on....as an “infant/baby” develops into a “toddler/child”....the “mind” while existing in its own “verbal reality” begins using a “language” unique to “it”.

Later on....as this “toddler/child” gradually develops into a more mature “child”, “student” and “adult”, this “child/student/adult” gradually learns on his/her own or is taught by a teacher the acceptable ways (the acceptable manners) of his/her “tribe” or “community” including (i) the acceptable ways to string together his/her “words/symbols/images” and (ii) the acceptable ways to “think”, to “measure” and to “project” -- acceptable ways that inform the syntax of the language being used.⁶

V

Concerning These Sounds/Marks/Vibrations With Meaning

However....and this is both the irony and the challenge that lies in using these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” in any manner including an acceptable manner:

Absent their presence nothing could be verbally stated nor could I have verbally sounded/marked/written these “words” you are now listening, seeing and reading.⁷

Present their presence I can now describe and explain to “your mind” with more particularity this new kind of thinking about which I write and in

which you are now engage....leaving the matter of proof to all twelve- books in this twelve-book series -- this book being no exception.

Prologue

Diving deep beneath what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” is hard work, particularly since:

(i) Absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything.

(ii) Present the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, anything can be verbally stated about anything and, potentially, anything verbally stated in the positive (+) can also be verbally stated in the negative (-).

In this sense, even though “your body” and “your brain” exist independent of any “word”, “symbol” or “image” superposed upon “them”, it is easy to “think” within “your mind” that “your body” and “your brain” does not exist absent the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”....

....easy for “the mind” to set off “words” against “words” as in:

I exist, absent the presence of words

I not exist, absent the presence of words.

In this sense, we presences called “human” experience many verbal conflicts involving “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” (frequently leading to physical conflict), an example being our inability to agree, verbally, on the answer to these two fundamental questions:

(i) what is the true nature of “words”, “symbols” and “images”; and,

(ii) from whence do these “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge.

In this sense, it makes no sense for Humanity as a whole to use words, symbols and images if the use is not coherent with the answers to these two fundamental questions. Yet, Humanity has done so, thereby making a wrong turn.

More To The Point

Diving deep beneath what are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” is difficult, particularly when

In the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images”, it is easy to think these two opposing “thoughts”:

It is out of the “mind” that all that exists emerges

It not out of the “mind” that all that exists emerges

With no thought being given to the fact that there is no verbal agreement among we presences called “human” (Humanity as a whole) as to the answer to not only these first two fundamental questions but also these fundamental questions:

What is the true nature of each “mind” and how does “it” emerge?

What is the true nature of each “body” and each “brain” and how do they emerge?

What is the true nature of physical reality and how did it emerge?

What is the true nature of each physical component of this physical reality and how did “it emerge; be that component called a “wave” or a “particle” or a “string” or a “quark” or a “meson” or a “boson” or a “positron” or an “electron” or a “neutron” or a “proton” or an “atom” or a “molecule” or a “cell” or a “neuron” or a “body” or a “brain” or a “mind”?

What is the process -- what are the laws/rules -- by which each of these physical components emerges?

In this sense, it makes no sense for we presences called “human” to use “our minds” (individually or collectively) if the use is not coherent with the answers to these fundamental questions since, ultimately, using “our minds” in a manner not coherent with the answer to these fundamental questions will lead to surprising and unanticipated results exacerbating Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

What each book published on the Center’s website verbally states in its own unique way is that until the first two of these fundamental questions are answered in a way acceptable to Humanity as a whole, there is will be no way to answer in a coherent manner any of these other fundamental questions....

....there will be no way by which to course correct Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

Even More To The Point

Words point as do symbols and images. They point to an underlying reality and a source and substance whose true nature can only be known by diving deep, beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them into:

The vibration that is the “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image”

And,

The vibration that lies beneath “it” and imbues the “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image” with a meaning unique to “it”.

For example, the word, “water” is a vibration with meaning that points to the vibration that lies beneath it. In this sense, the word “water” is only a “code name” for the vibration upon which the word, “water”, is superposed; a vibration that has vibrating characteristics that are unique to “it” and that allows it to be distinguished, vibrationally, from other vibrations in its surroundings.

In fact, when you have a moment, place “your hand” in “water” and know that as you do so, the word, “water” that is emerging in “your mind” is a vibration with meaning that points to the vibration (called “water”) that lies beneath it.

In this sense, as “your body” in a manner orchestrated vibrationally by “your brain”

(i) is vibrationally sensing the vibration (coded “water”) and its vibrating characteristics; and,

(ii) is distinguishing this vibration (coded “water”) from other vibrations in its surroundings,

the word, “water” emerges in “your mind” and “its verbal reality”....but only after “your body” in a manner coordinated by “your brain” has learned or been taught by a “teacher” to produce the vibration that is the word, “water” (wa-ter) and superposed that vibration (wa-ter) upon the vibration (coded water).⁸

~~~

Admittedly, what has just been stated is not easy for any “mind” to understand since it requires diving deep beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them into the body and its brain and sensing vibrationally what is occurring there as “body” interacts with “water” versus “air” versus “ground”.

Not an easy task, particularly if you have been educated in a current kind of thinking that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more....

.....a current kind of thinking that has compounded Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

~~~

Recognizing that this task is not easy for anyone educated in this way, allow me, the writer of these words, to set forth in the section that follows a series of verbal statements concerning Humanity’s Wrong Turn....

....a series of verbal statements that points to (explains/describes in more detail) Humanity’s Wrong Turn and the challenge we “humans” face in course-correcting “it”.

A SERIES OF VERBAL STATEMENTS

CONCERNING

HUMANITY’S WRONG TURN

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

Albert Einstein

1

What is now thought of and called “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” is really a vibration expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning is associated with the vibration that lies beneath “it”. In this sense, at the most fundamental level of their existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”; each being a vibration with meaning. In this sense, these vibrations with meaning stand-in-for/represent the vibrations that lie beneath them, thereby serving as a code for interacting (communicating) about these underlying vibrations. In this sense, what is identified by “a word”, “a symbol” or “an image” is code for the vibration that lies beneath “it”; examples being the vibration called

“particle”

“atom”

“molecule”

“cell”

“organism”

“body”

“brain”

“mind”

“human”

In this sense, at the most fundamental level of existence, each vibration with meaning is superposed upon something of substance (the vibration) that lies beneath it and to which the vibration with meaning is pointing (like a sign); each vibration (each something of substance) upon which a vibration with meaning is superposed being a vibration having vibrating characteristics by which “it” (the vibration -- the vibrating something of substance) is identified.

In this sense, at the most fundamental level of existence, each vibration (each something of substance) is emerging out of Vibration;

(i) Vibration being an underlying physical phenomenon -- an underlying physical presence -- that is always present and is the source and substance of all that exists;

(ii) Vibration being an underlying physical phenomenon -- an underlying physical presence -- to which all vibrations with meaning are pointing (as signs)

The word, Vibration being the best vibration with meaning by which to represent this underlying physical phenomenon -- this underlying physical presence -- since all vibrations with meaning are pointing to it; the word, Vibration standing in for itself.⁹

2

“Words”, “symbols” and “images” are vibrations with meaning that emerge out of “the body” in the form of “sounds” and “marks”; but only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can

(i) produce a specific vibration in the form of a “specific sound” or a “specific mark”; and,

(ii) associate that specific vibration with an underlying vibration to which this specific vibration is “pointing”.

The “sounded” vibration with meaning being a function of Vibration called “Sound”; the “marked” vibration being a function of Vibration called “Light” (meaning that in the absence of the Vibration called “Light” there exists only “Dark”, there being no way by which to “see” the “mark” in the Dark).

In this sense, vibrations with meaning emerge from the body only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by its brain” can produce them and associate them with an underlying vibration upon which the specific vibration with meaning is superposed.

Although many “species” of vibrations produce vibrations with meaning in the form of “sounds” and “marks”, we vibrations called “human” are the only “species” that:

(i) call these vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images”; and,

(ii) create these vibrations with meaning using the mechanics of “the human voice” and “the human hand” (the latter being aided by a writing tool applied to a smooth surface).¹⁰

3

Once these vibrations with meaning emerge, they both create and inform two vibrating existential states that can then be thought of and called a “verbal reality” and a “mind”: the latter (the mind) dwelling in the former (its verbal reality); each “mind” and “its verbal reality” being “vibrations” having vibrating characteristics unique to it.¹¹ In this sense, at the most fundamental level of their existence, each “verbal reality” is a vibrating verbal reality and each “mind” exists as a vibration within its vibrating verbal reality.

In this sense, at the most fundamental level of existence, there are, potentially, an infinite number of “verbal realities/minds” that can emerge since there are, potentially, an infinite number of “words/symbols/images” that can emerge from a “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”.

In this sense, a “new born infant” has the potential to produce many vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” and a “mind” and “verbal reality” of its own until that potential is shaped by a “teacher” who teaches the “new born infant” to use these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” in a manner acceptable to its tribe or community”....

....the accepted way for using “words”, “symbols” and “images” in that tribe or community having developed through verbal agreement by those members of the tribe or community who produced “the first words” of “the tribe or community....

....this “accepted way” shaping (Neuroplasticity) both the “mind” and “the brain” of the “new born infant” (now turned “child”, “adolescent”, “student”, “adult”)....

....thereby informing the “language” and “syntax” of this vibration called “human”.

4

It is within these two vibrating existential states called “verbal reality” and “mind” that these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” equate to vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”; vibrating linguistic lenses through which “the mind” (as a vibration), while dwelling within its vibrating verbal reality, views and strives to produce coherent verbal statements and verbal stories concerning:

(i) the vibration called “its body”;

(ii) the vibration called “its brain”:

(iii) the collective vibration called “physical reality” in which all “bodies” and all “brains” dwell as vibrations; and,

(iv) Vibration as the vibrating “source” and “substance” of “all that exists” including each body/brain, each word/symbol/image, each verbal reality/mind and each verbal statement/story

Each verbal statement and each verbal story being a vibration since each verbal statement and each verbal story is comprised of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

~~~

It is within “its vibrating verbal reality” that “the mind” (as a vibration) produces verbal statements (vibrations) in the form of “questions”; examples being:

What Is Real/Not Real

What is Life/What is Not Life

Does God Exists/Does God Not Exists

It is within “its vibrating verbal reality” that “the mind” (as a vibration) produces verbal statements (vibrations) in the form of “stories” called “creation stories”, “speculative philosophies”, “theories of everything” and “models of reality” for purposes of answering, verbally, these “questions”.

5

However, absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, nothing could be verbally stated about anything nor would there exists these vibrating existential states called the “mind” and “its verbal reality”; nor would there exists a “verbal reality in which the “mind” could use words, symbols and images as projections, measurements and thoughts through which it (the mind) can view and tell stories about the physical reality in which “its body/brain” dwells.

In fact, absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, no questions could be verbally asked or answered by a “mind”. More particularly, absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, verbal statements in the form of “questions” such as

What Is Life?

What Is Real?

What Is the “true nature” of all that exists?

Could not be asked or answered.

6

Yet, absent the presence of “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images”, the “bodies/brains” of we presences called “human” (Humanity) would still exist as vibrating existential states: each “body” and “its brain” having vibrating characteristics unique to it; each “body” and “its brain” dwelling as a vibration (frequently called an “energy field” or “system”) in a vibrating physical reality having what can be thought of and called a sensitive dependence (vibrationally) upon

All other vibrations (e.g. cells, molecules, atoms, particles) that are interactively informing (vibrationally) “our bodies” and “our brains”, moment by moment

And

All other vibrations (e.g. flowers, trees, animals, insects) with which “our bodies” are interacting and interconnecting (communicating), vibrationally, moment by moment, in a manner vibrationally orchestrated by “our brains”.

These “other presences” being the “initial conditions”.....the “boundary conditions”....the vibrations....upon which “our bodies” and “our brains” are, vibrationally, sensitively dependent.¹²

Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred in that moment when Humanity as a whole shifted

From treating “the word” as a “sound” or a “mark” representing something of substance

To treating “the word” as only a word -- nothing more.

Or, more particularly:

From treating “the word” as a vibration expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” whose meaning emerges from the vibration that lies beneath it and upon which the “sound/mark” is superposed

To treating “the word” as only a word -- nothing more.

A wrong turn that has been perpetuated by Humanity’s treating of “the mind” as being dominant over “the body” and “its brain” rather than treating “the body” and “its brain” as dominant over “the mind”.

A wrong turn that has been compounded by the fact that:

Although there exists only one vibrating physical reality in which we vibrations called “human” (Humanity) can live;

There are, potentially, an infinite number of vibrating verbal realities in which an infinite number of minds can dwell (as vibrations)

There being, potentially, an infinite number of vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” (i) that can emerge from the “human body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” and (ii) that can be used in surprising and unacceptable ways that are not coherent with the “true nature” of the “body”, “the brain” or “the mind”.

8

Simply stated

Concerning we “humans” and “our wrong turn:

Our bodies/brains emerged first (as vibrations) in a single vibrating verbal reality supported by the vibrations upon which our “bodies/brain” have a sensitive dependence.

Then emerged these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “our words”, “our symbols” and “our images”.

Then emerged “our minds” and “our verbal reality”: each mind dwelling in its own unique vibrating verbal reality as a vibration and expressing vibrating characteristics unique to it; there being, potentially, an infinite number of “verbal realities/minds” that can exists....each mind having its own view and producing its own verbal statement/stories concerning this single physical reality in which its “body/brain” dwells and their “source/substance”.

9

To be sure: In the beginning of each “verbal reality” and each “mind”, there must emerge these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. Nevertheless, before they emerged out of the body in a manner coordinated by its brain, each body/brain (as a vibration) was interacting with its surroundings pursuant to the same vibrating interacting process by which Vibration acts upon itself and produces all that exists.

To be sure: In the beginning of each “verbal reality” and each “mind”, there did emerge these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. However, once “they” emerged, there, potentially, exist an infinite number of “verbal realities/minds” in which anything can be verbally stated about anything and anything verbally stated in the positive (+) can be also be verbally stated in the negative (-), leading to much verbal conflict, physical conflict and “vibrational states” frequently associated with the words, “stress”, “anxiety” and “depression”.

To be sure: In the beginning of each “verbal reality” and each “mind”, there were these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”. However, despite their existence, vibrationally, there is no way to describe whole the vibrating reality and vibrating source of which they are a vibrating part; the “hard part” being that these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” have an impact....a “life” of “their own”.

Humanity’s Challenge:

it is almost impossible to remain “mindful” of these “facts” once “words”, “symbols” and “images” start getting in the way; particular when

The most fundamental “particle” is treated as being nothing more than a “particle” rather than a vibration called “particle” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

Each “atom”, “molecule”, “cell” and each “particle” that composes “them” are treated as being nothing more than an “atom”, “molecule”, “cell” and “particle” rather collective vibrations having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

A “tree” is treated as being nothing more than a “flower” rather than a collective vibration called “flower” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

A “forest” is treated as being nothing more than a “forest” rather than a collective vibration called “forest” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

A “body” is treated as being nothing more than a “body” rather than a collective vibration called “body” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

A “brain” is treated as being nothing more than a “brain” rather than a collective vibration called “brain” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

A “mind” is treated as being nothing more than a “mind” rather than a collective vibration called “mind” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

“Reality” is treated as being nothing more than “reality” rather than a collective vibration called “reality” having vibrating characteristics unique to “it”.

“God” is treated as being nothing more than “God” rather than an underlying physical phenomenon -- an underlying physical presence -- that is always present and best represented by the word, “Vibration” since all sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images are always pointing to it as being the “source/substance” of all that exists; the letter “v” being capitalized in honor of vibration being the source and the substance of all that exists.

~~~

Course correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn is not easy.

Yet, We (Humanity) Must Try

~~~

The first course correcting action involves treating “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as a vibration expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” that is superposed upon a vibration that lies beneath it and imbues it with meaning.

~~~

It is as simple as that!

Yet, it is not that simple.

Since once “the mind” emerges in its “verbal reality”

There is always this matter of proof

That must be addressed.

A burden of proof

That the mind seeks to satisfy using the current kind of thinking

In which it has been schooled.

Leading to the need for a new way of thinking; a new kind of thinking

In which your mind is now engaged.

Concerning

Your Journey, Beneath Words

And

The Center For Vibrational Studies

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

Lao Tzu

As has your journey, Beneath Words

By reading Beneath Words: What Lies There, the first book in this twelve-book, 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 four books in this twelve-book series, you are now “mindful” that what are now 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) pursuant to a vibrating interacting process.

The next four books in this series strings these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” together in different ways so as to give you another perspective of what it means to dive deep beneath “words”, “symbols” and “images” into what lies there. Along the way, you (the reader of these words) will be diving deeper and deeper beneath these vibrations with meaning into the vibrations that lies there and the Vibration that is their “source and substance”.

The last four books in this series contain the most tedious parts of Your Journey, Beneath Words since it is in these parts of your journey that you will be diving very deep beneath these vibrations with meaning into the vibrating reality that lies there for purposes of understanding how this vibrating reality emerged and continues to emerge from Vibration as its source/substance.

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.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

YOUR JOURNEY, BENEATH WORDS

(PART SIX)

HUMANITY’S WRONG TURN

YOUR ITINERARY

AUTHOR’S NOTE

HOW SHALL WE START

A VERBAL STATEMENT

AN OPENING

SOME VERBAL STATEMENTS CONCERNING

THE BODY, THE BRAIN, THE MIND AND THEIR PLASTICITY

A NEW KIND OF THINKING

AUTHOR’S NOTE

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

Toni Morrison

Diving deep Beneath Words and the symbols and images that accompany them is “hard work”, particularly if your mind has been trained to treat each word, each symbol and each image as just a word, symbol or image – nothing more.

Along the way on this Journey, Beneath Words, you (or more particularly, “your mind”) has been introduced to many linguistic mechanics (each a linguistic tool) that I use when structuring a verbal statement.

Each linguistic tool has had a purpose: that being to disrupt the cadence of your “reading style” so that, instead of simply skating along the surface of the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that inform the verbal statement, you (or, more particularly, your mind) can dive deep beneath these “words”, “symbols” and “images” – particularly the “words”, “symbols” and “images” that are being distinguished in this manner.

For example, the verbal statement may be as simple as:

I see a tree

with the words “see” and “tree” being highlighted through the use of quotation marks (“ ”) so that the verbal statement reads: I “see” a “tree”.

By now, you, the reader of these words (or, more particularly, your mind) should understand that the act of seeing is a vibrating act (as is any act of sensing) and that the “tree” is a vibration that is being vibrationally sensed by you (or, more particularly, your body) from your body’s own unique perspective as your body ( a vibration) interacts vibrationally with the vibration called “tree” in a manner orchestrated, vibrationally, by this vibration called “your brain”.

Thus, buried beneath this verbal statement

I see a tree

is a much deeper, more vibrant meaning; the verbal statement simply being a “short-handed” way of describing and explaining (simulating) what is happening when the “I” that is “you” sees a tree.

In some present moment called now....in every “tribe” or “community”....there was a moment when two or more of its members (each a vibration) shared a common vibrational experience of vibrationally sensing a vibration (a vibrating something of substance) as they were interacting with this vibration (this vibrating something of substance). It was in that moment when pointing to this vibration (this vibrating something of substance) that one of these members produced a “specific vibration” for the purpose of identifying this vibration (this vibrating something of substance) and the other members accepted this “specific vibration” for that purpose.

Buried within the history of each language of every “tribe” or “community” that has (or has had) a language of its own is such a moment; that moment being the “beginning” of “its collective mind” and “its collective verbal reality”.

In this sense, once a specific vibration in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark is superposed upon a vibration that lies beneath it, this specific vibration with meaning has a “life” of “its own”; the English word “tree” being one example of a vibration with meaning that, substantively, can now be translated into the “words” of the “languages” of other “tribes” and “communities”.

~~~

In those moments prior to the first vibration with meaning emerging from a “human body”, the method of communication among these vibrations called “human” may have been accomplished vibrationally through what is now thought of and called “gesticulation” or “pantomime”. However, in those moments prior to the first vibration with meaning emerging, there existed no human “mind” nor did there exists any “verbal reality” in which the “human mind” could exists”.

Before a “human mind” and “its verbal reality” could emerge, a vibration (now thought of and called “human”) had to produce a vibration with meaning (the first word). Then, one “human” having done so; others followed; there being many divergent minds and many divergent verbal realities emerging in each “human tribe” and each “human community” until that moment when “two human minds” accepted (through verbal agreement) that a specific vibration with meaning that each member could “sound” or “mark” in his/her own unique way was the best vibration with meaning to represent a vibration (e.g. a “tree”) that “their bodies” were vibrationally sensing, each in its own unique way.

It was then....in that moment....that the first language emerged.....followed by the emergence of many “languages” in many “tribes” or “communities” produced in the same or a similar manner.

It is in this way each of we presences called “human” learned to speak “in code”....to speak in a language in a short-handed manner; a language based upon a verbal agreement grounded in vibrations with meaning that “we” have “in common”.

In this sense, you, the reader of these words (or, more particularly, your mind) should now understand that “words/symbols/images” and the verbal reality/mind” created and informed by “them” are the ultimate linguistic tools and that “languages” are the ultimate linguistic mechanics. “They” allow you to speak in code concerning what is happening in “your life”.

However, for any verbal statements to be proved “true” as between “your mind” and “my mind” (including the verbal statements previously made in this section), we must be able to produce these vibrations with meaning called “words” that inform these verbal statements and then have “our minds” collectively accept (through verbal agreement) that these verbal statements are “true”....

....just like before the vibration that is being sensed, vibrationally, by “our bodies” in a manner orchestrated by our “brains” can be called a “tree” we must each be able:

(i) to produce this sound/mark/vibration (the word “tree”); and then

(ii) to accept (through verbal agreement) that the word, “tree” (as among ourselves) is the best word -- the best vibration with meaning by which to represent this vibration now called “tree”.

Not an easy task, yet that is the way each language has emerged....by verbally agreeing not only upon what is the best “word” to represent a vibration but also how to “string together” this “word” with other “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

“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.”

__________

The 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). Keep “in mind” that the only way you and I (and all of Humanity) can prove Humanity made a wrong turn that needs “course-correcting” is for you, me and all of Humanity to string together these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning in such a way to allow our “minds” (both individually and collectively) to accept through verbal agreement that Humanity did make a wrong turn and that this wrong turn needs course-correcting.

HOW SHALL WE START?

LET’S START WITH A VERBAL STATEMENT

(With which you can choose to agree/not agree)

VERBAL STATEMENT

Absent the presence of words, symbols and images,

There would exists no questions or answers or the ability to think

Nor would there exists any mind informed by them or any verbal reality

In which the mind can do its thinking.

Nor would there exists, any of the following verbal constructs:

constitutions, laws, regulations, rules

treaties, maps (upon which boundary lines can be drawn)

stories (including creation stories), prose, poetry, fiction, nonfiction

speculative philosophies, theologies, religious doctrines, prayers, mandalas

scientific theories, mathematics, models of reality (classical or quantum)

theories of everything, anything, something or nothing

equations, formulae, algorithms

E=MC²/Shrödinger’s Equation

The Perfect Equation

Thus,

It seems important for we presences called “humans”

To collective agree

Upon the answer to two questions

Before making any more verbal statements

The two questions:

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

What is their true nature

The answer:

What are now thought of and called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are vibrations that emerge out of the “body” in the form of sounds or marks in a manner coordinated by “its brain”; their meaning being associated with the vibration something of substance that lies beneath them and to which they are pointing (as signs indicating “something happening here” beneath “words” and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany them).

Do you agree/not agree?

~~~

Now Consider These Verbal Statements;

With respect to each “species” of “being” having a “body” and a “brain”, the role of the individual “mind” and collective “mind” of that “species” is to allow all bodies and brains of that “species” not only to survive but also to thrive as a “tribe” or “community”; we “beings” called “human” be no exceptions.

Yet, somewhere along the way, Humanity made a Wrong Turn, ceding to its collective mind and the individual minds of each of its member control over the “body/brain” of each of its members, forgetting that it is out of the “body” that the “mind” and its “verbal reality” emerge....

....and then only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce its first word in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark....

....a specific vibration.

Forgetting that it is only after the “body” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain” can distinguish one “body” from “another body” or one “event” from another “event” through an act of sensing that a vibration in the form of a specific sound or specific mark can be superposed on “a body” or “an event” and thereby give meaning to the specific sound or specific mark....the specific vibration

Welcome to Beneath Words, the Journey, a verbal journey of discovery that Humanity and each of its members must make if Humanity as a whole and each of Its members is

(i) to course-correct its Wrong Turn; and,

(ii) to (collectively) understand the true nature of our bodies, our minds, our verbal realities and our stories as well as the reality in which “we” dwell and its source and substance.

A “course correcting” that does require a new kind of thinking.

NOW THE QUESTION:

DO YOU AGREE/NOT AGREE WITH THESE VERBAL STATEMENTS?

A QUESTION TO PONDER AS YOU MOVE ONWARD ON

YOUR JOURNEY, BENEATH WORDS.

AN OPENING

“It is the task of reason to understand and purge the symbols on which humanity depends.”

Alfred North Whitehead

Symbolism, Its Meaning and Effect

Fordham University Press, 1927

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

Albert Einstein

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”

Franz Kafka.

If you are reading this book, you, the reader of these words, and I, the writer of these words, have one thing in common: “words”. To be sure, my “words”, originally written in a language called English, may be different from the language you use. Yet, through translation, you and I are verbally interacting (communicating) with “words”.

Absent the presence of words and the symbols and images that accompany them, we would not be communicating verbally nor would you and I able to state anything nor would you and I be reading or writing “words”. Presence the presence of words, you and I can verbally communicate through reading and writing and we have the potential to produce any verbal statement that we choose to make. In fact, you and I have the potential, verbally, to agree/not agree on anything or everything since what you can verbally state in the positive, I can verbally state in the negative and what I can verbally state in the positive, you can verbally state in the negative.

In fact, when you really think about the verbal statements you have just read.... verbal statements comprised of the words I have previously written and that you are now reading....you can either agree/not agree with what I have written. If you agree, then, verbally, as between you and me, “we” accept through verbal agreement that these verbal statements are “true”. If you do not agree, then you can verbally request more “proof” or you can choose other acts (e.g. disagree, verbally, or physically fight about the accuracy of these verbal statements).

So....it really does seem important for we “humans” to ask the questions:

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

What is their true nature?

Since without having a common agreement as to the answers to these questions, it seems that we are simply verbally circling about what lies below -- circling in our “verbal realities” and “our minds” using “words”, “symbols” and “images” without having common answers to these two questions.

More To The Point

To be sure, in the “beginning” was “the word”; yet that is “true” only as to the “beginning” of a “verbal reality” and a “mind” created and informed by “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”.

Indeed, all you have to do is consider the fact that “you”, once conceived then birthed, emerged into this world as an “infant” without “words”, “symbols” and “images” at your disposal. Indeed, to confirm this fact through observation, all you need to do is observe any infant at birth and note that its words, its symbols and its images emerged from its “body” later....only after it can produce a specific sound or a specific mark called its first word.

In fact, you can interpolate from these observations, that, most likely, a similar verbal statement applies to the first “being” who produce the first word in the form of a specific sound or a specific mark.

What this verbal statement also implies is that just like any “infant”, at birth, this “producer” of the first word did have what is now thought of and called a “body” and what is now thought of and called a “brain” -- the “body” and “brain” of this “being” having emerged through a process now thought of and called “evolution”.

Yet, ironically, absent the emergence of this first word and all “words”, “symbols” and “images” that emerged thereafter, none of we presences called “human” would have what is called a “verbal reality” or a “mind” in which “we” could accept (through verbal agreement) that any verbal statement is “true/not true”....

....these verbal statements that I have previously written and you are now reading....

....being no exceptions.

As strange or bizarre as these “sounds” and “marks”

called “words, “symbols” and “images”

may now sound or appear to you.

More To The Point

The most pressing problem facing Humanity as a whole present moment by present moment is accepting through verbal agreement what is the source and the substance of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and by what process did “they” emerge....more particularly....what is their true nature since

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

Now Consider This: Writing any book using “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image” without being able to explain the presence of “words”, “symbols” and “images” is “pure folly”, meaning that without having a common verbal agreement as to how “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerged (and are continuing to emerge), there will always be conflict among we presences called “human” since whatever is being verbally stated using “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” can always be contested.

Nothing wrong with the verbal contesting or verbal conflicting as long as it leads to solving this this “most pressing problem”. However, an attendant problem is that the use of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” has led (and continues to lead) not only to verbal conflict (verbal contesting) but also to physical conflict and “war”, as verbal statements are made setting “boundaries” much like the “lion” establishes its “boundary” with its “roar” (its sound) and the wolf establishes it “boundary” with its “urine” (its mark)....each for making it known to every other presence in their surroundings of “its presence”.

Thus, the most pressing “work” we presences called “humans” must do is to solve this “most pressing problem” using “words”, “symbols” and “images” to do so: a problem that can only be solved by our diving deep, Beneath Words and the “symbols” and “images” for purposes of understanding their true nature since the only way “we” presences called “human” can explain, describe and simulate what lies Beneath Words is to use “words” and the “symbols” and “images that accompany them.

So....Why Write This Book?

One night....when seeking sleep that would not come....mind racing from one thought to the next....I suddenly entered an existential state in which I had no words at my disposal, yet I existed. Was it a dream? Or does this existential state really exist -- Beneath Words.

At birth, an infant has no words. It does sound (cry/coo) and mark (urinate and defecate). To be sure, it does emerge with a body and a brain; each having evolved to its current existential state through a process now thought of and called evolution. Yet, absent the presence of words, an infant’s only method of communicating is non-verbal interacting -- nonverbal in the sense that the communicating (interacting) that is occurring between the infant and those other presences in its surroundings is occurring Beneath Words.

Since that night, I have observed many infants and confirmed through observation that each new born, healthy infant only has the potential to produce words, symbols and images. That it is only after the infant (now a toddler/child) can produce

(i) the spoken word using the mechanics of voice; and/or

(ii) the marked/drawn/written word, symbol and image using the mechanics of hand (aided by a marking tool applied to a smooth surface)

That this infant/toddler/child actualizes this potential

~~~

However, it was only after observing how a child learned to speak the spoken word and draw the written word did I become aware of these facts:

(i) the sounded/spoken word is a function of Vibration called “Sound”;

(ii) the marked/drawn/written word, symbol and image is a function of Vibration called “Light”;

(iii) the meaning of each specific vibration (each specific sound/mark) called a “word”, a “symbol” or “an image” emerges only after the specific vibration (the specific sound or specific mark) is associated with what lies beneath it.¹³

~~~

Not being easy thoughts for the mind to grasp or accept -- it (the mind) always wanting “proof”, I have authored a number of books (each styled Beneath Words) for the purpose of addressing this matter of proof. Some of these books are long; some of these books (e.g. this book you are now reading) are short.

Yet, all have a single purpose. That being to introduce you to a new way of thinking that embraces each word, each symbol and each image as a vibration with meaning....a new kind of thinking that opens the mind to the fact that both “it” and the “body/brain” out of which “it” emerges are really much more than the words/symbols/images superposed upon “them”.

Why Write This Book?

It relates to the matter of proof;

Of proving “true” to the mind

What the body/brain

Already senses

And what each mind can sense

If It would only listen

That

All that exist is vibrating;

Each expression of “all that exists” emerging from

An underlying physical phenomenon -- an underlying physical Presence

Best simulated by “the word”,

Vibration

A website upon which many books are being published

SOME VERBAL STATEMENTS

CONCERNING

THE BODY, THE BRAIN, THE MIND

AND THEIR PLASTICITY

Concerning Body/Brain/Mind

Throughout this book and the other writings appearing on the Center’s website, I, the writer of these words, distinguish what is now thought of and called “the body” from what is now thought of and called “the brain”. And, I distinguish what is now thought of and called “the brain” from what is now thought of and called “the mind”.

My “thoughts” concerning the emergence of the “mind” are evidenced by these verbal statements:

(i) The “mind” and “its verbal reality” emerge only after the body, in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce these vibrations with meaning -- these specific sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

(ii) The “mind” and “its verbal reality” are two vibrating existential states both created and informed by these vibrations with meaning

(iii) Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning, nothing could be verbally stated about anything nor could these verbal statements that you are now sensing (reading) have been previously written by me nor could anything be verbally stated about the “body”, the “brain”, the “mind” or their emergence.

(iv) However, present the presence of these vibrations with meaning, anything can be verbally stated about anything allowing me, the writer of these words, to make

the previous verbal statements concerning the emerging of the “mind” and the “verbal reality” in which the “mind” dwells; and,

the following verbal statements concerning the “body”, the “brain” and the “reality” in which each “body” and each “brain” dwells

for the purpose of determining whether you agree/not agree with these verbal statements.

Concerning The Emergence Of The Body, Its Brain

And The Reality In Which Each Body and Each Brain Dwells

Humanity as a whole has evolved to its current existential state having a “body” and a “brain” that is unique when compared to all other “species” of “life”. And, as a “species”, Humanity as a whole continues to evolve as it interacts with “its surroundings” -- “surroundings” in which all “species” of “life” dwell; these “surroundings” being a reality existing independent of any vibrations with meaning superposed (projected) upon “it”.

Each presence called “human” as a part of Humanity has evolved to his or her current existential state, having a “body” and a “brain” unique to him or her (“your body” and “your brain” being no exceptions). And, as an individual member of Humanity as a whole, each “member” will continue to evolved as it interacts with “his/her surroundings” for as long as he/she exists.

Each “human body” interacts with “its surroundings” in a manner orchestrated by “its brain” whether (or not) this “body/brain” has produced these vibrations with meaning (witness an infant at birth -- or, more particularly, “self-reflect” upon the fact that at your birth you were just like this infant).

More particularly, for each of we presences called “human” the primary “actor” is the “brain”; his/her “brain” orchestrating his/her body’s interacting with “its surroundings”, no matter whether his/her “body” in a manner coordinated by his/her brain” has either learned on its own or been taught to produce these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

Before the emergence of these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” (absent the presence of “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image”), each “brain” was orchestrating the interacting of its “body” with “its surroundings” -- present moment by present moment. And that remains “true”, present moment by present moment, whether (or not) these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are present.

However, what also remains “true”, now, in each present moment is that....

Beneath Words and the “symbols” and “images” that accompany “words”, “the brain” is always interacting with “its surroundings” pursuant to an interacting process that is frequently called “evolution” (but only after “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” have emerged from the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain”)....

.... “evolution” actually being a vibrating interacting process occasionally called natural selecting process, or, more particularly, a natural process of renormalizing....

....a vibrating interacting process by which all selections emerge both before “words” and after “words”.

In other words, once these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images” emerge, I can verbally produce the following verbal statements for the purpose of determining whether “all minds” including “your mind” accept/not accept “them” as “true” through “verbal agreement” -- a “verbal agreement between “you” and “me”:

In the “beginning”, prior to the emergence of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”, all that exists was vibrating; that also being “true” now, even after the emergence of “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”.

Each presence being a vibration having certain vibrating characteristics unique to it and its “kind”; each vibration emerging out of an underlying physical phenomenon -- an underlying physical presence -- best simulated by “the word”

Vibration

Yet, that is only “the beginning”.

Concerning How The Body, The Brain

And The Mind Interact¹⁴

When you have a moment, observe what is now thought of and called a “tree” (a “real tree”, not a picture of a “tree”), using what is now thought of and called your sense of sight: this act of seeing being an act you must choose (act of selecting) to perform. As you do so, using “your mind” in a “self-reflective” manner, note that as you “see” the “tree”, you are superposing (projecting) upon this something of substance the word, “tree” (much like “your given name” has been superposed upon “you”). And as you do so, note that this something of substance called “your body” is interacting with this something of substance called “tree” in a manner orchestrated by this something of substance called “your brain”.

To be sure, superficially (in an abstract way) “you” are, in fact, interacting with the “tree”. However, beneath this superficiality, what is really occurring is “your brain” (through an act of selecting) is shaping this interacting pursuant to a vibrating interacting process (natural selecting process -- a process of renormalizing -- “evolution”)....

....a vibrating interacting process by which “it” (“your brain”), while interacting vibrationally (“communicating”) with this vibration called “tree” and its vibrating characteristics shapes (act of selecting) the vibrating experience in a way that allows “your body” to choose (act of selecting) an action that best assures “its” (“your body’s”) and “its (“your brain’s”) survival.¹⁵

In other words, at the most fundamental level of existence (which is vibratory) the true nature of each vibrating something of substance is vibration; what is now thought of and called “the body” and “its brain” (i.e. “your body” and “its brain”) and what is now thought of and called the “tree” (the “tree” your “body” is “seeing” in a manner orchestrated by “your brain”) being no exceptions.

Each vibrating something of substance is a vibrating presence having vibrating characteristics unique to it (Qualia) by which it can be vibrationally sensed and physically identified.

Then and only then does a “body” (e.g. the “human body” -- “your body”) in a manner coordinated by “its brain” have the potential to select (and actually can learn or be taught to select) the best vibration with meaning -- the best sound/mark with meaning -- by which to identify (“call”) each vibrating something of substance.

It is in this way that the “vocabulary” of a “tribe” or “community” emerges and informs the “language” of that “tribe” or “community”; the specific sound/mark informing “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image” -- the uniqueness of the way by which “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” is sounded or marked by a “tribe” or “community” (and its members) being a function of the manner in which the “tribe” or “community” and each of its “members” has either learned on its own or been taught to shape each the vibration that is the sound or the mark.

For we presences called “human” and all other presences (no matter what their “name”, “number” or “species”, although there is nothing unique about our/their sounding, what is unique is the manner in which we/they produce the vibration that is our/their way of sounding.

However, for we presences called “human” (when compared to any other presence) what is really unique to each of “us” and Humanity as a whole is

(i) How each of “us” and Humanity as a whole use these vibrations; and,

(ii) How “we” associate these vibrations with their own unique meaning -- each from his/her own unique perspective.

As to “our marks”, although many “species” of presences do make “marks” and associate those “marks” with something of substance we are the only “species” that produces “marks” -- each in his/her own way -- using his/her “marking hand” (his/her drawing/writing hand), aided by marking tools applied to smooth surfaces in his/her own unique way.¹⁶

Concerning The Mind And Its Verbal Reality

These two vibrating existential states called the “mind” and “its verbal reality” emerge only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

It is within “its verbal reality” that the “mind” dwells present moment by present moment. And, it is within each present moment that the “mind” in its then existing “verbal reality” (a verbal reality depending upon the “words”, “symbols” and “images” it has in “its vocabulary”) uses “words/symbols/images” as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which it views the underlying reality of which its “body/brain” is a “part” and produces its “stories” concerning “anything”, “everything”, “something” and “nothing” including but not limited to:

What is happening “now” in “its surrounding reality”

And,

What it “projects”, “measures” and “thinks” is happening “now”, in this present moment, or “did happen earlier” (in past present moments) or “will happen later (in future present moments”.

Yet, no matter what the mind “thinks” and “projects” and no matter how it “measures” what is now called “time” and “space”, all that is happening is only unfolding in the present moment and from present moment to present moment out of Vibration pursuant to a vibrating interacting process now thought of and called “evolution” or an “interacting force” or a “natural selecting process” or a natural process of renormalizing....a vibrating interacting process that also can be thought of and called a Creative Process by which selections are made out of a “menu” of all possible selections than available....each act of selecting serving as the “basis” (the “conditions”) upon which other selections are made, thereby establishing an Historical Bias favoring those acts of selecting previously made over other acts of selecting that could have been made.

As weird or strange as that may appear.

The Point:

Absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning -- these specific sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, each of we presences called “human” would still exists -- having evolved to his/her current existential state with the ability to “stand erect freeing “voice” to project “sounds” outward and freeing “hands” to make “marks”....with only the potential to produce these vibrations with meaning.

And, each of “us” would be dwelling in a single underlying reality that is always emerging from a single underlying source/substance, having no vibrations with meaning by which to state so, verbally.

However, present the presence of these vibrations with meaning, each of we “presences” called “human” dwell in two realities; both

This single underlying reality that is always emerging from this single underlying source/substance and in which his/her “body” and “its brain” dwell;

And,

A verbal reality that is always emerging from his/her body and in which his/her “mind” dwells.

Once a presence called “human” can produce these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words/symbols/images”, he/she dwells in two realities: his/her verbal reality in which his/her mind dwells; an underlying reality in which his/her body/brain dwells.

With respect to Humanity as a whole, these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images” serve as a “link” between our verbal realities (VR) in which our minds dwell (both individually and collectively) and the single underlying reality (UR) in which our bodies/brains dwell.

With respect to each member of Humanity as a part, his/her vibrations with meaning -- his/her sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images” serve as a “link” between his/her verbal reality (VR) in which his/her mind dwells (individually) and the single underlying reality (UR) in which his her body/brain dwells.

For Humanity as a whole and each presence called “human” (being a part of the whole), the challenge “we” face is using these vibrations with meaning for the purposes of simulating what is occurring beneath them in each present moment called “Now”....this challenge being impossible to meet if each of “us” is using a current way of thinking (a current kind of thinking) embedded only in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”.

However, this challenge becomes relatively easy to meet if each of “us” embraces a new way of thinking (a new kind of thinking) embedded in these vibrations with meaning since each of these vibrations with meaning expressed as a sound or a mark points to (serves as a sign pointing to) a vibrating reality that is always emerging present moment to present moment from a vibrating source and substance....this vibrating source/substance being best simulated by the word, Vibration since all vibrations with meaning are pointing to it as “source” and “substance”.¹⁷

More To The Point:

Words, symbols and images are vibrations with meaning; each word, each symbol and each image emerging out of the body only after the body in a manner coordinated by its brain has learned/been taught

(i) to shape Vibration called “Sound” and Vibration called “Light” using the mechanics of voice or hand into specific vibrations (specific sounds/marks); and,

(ii) to associate these specific vibrations (these specific sounds/marks) with something of substance that lies beneath it

the “hand” being aided by a “marking tool” applied to a “smooth surface”; the marking tool being a “stick”, a “stone”, a “brush with pigment”, a “piece of carbon”, a “pencil”, a “pen with ink”, a “printing press”, a “keyboard” (of a “typewriter” or “computer”); the smooth surface can be “sand”, “dirt”, “wall of

cave”, “parchment”, “paper”, “computer screen”.¹⁸

These vibrations with meaning -- these sound/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are great linguistic tools. However, “they” do have their limitations since, upon emerging, they do become a “part” of the “reality” we presences sense as does each “verbal reality” and “mind” created and informed by “them” and by being a part of “reality” as a whole” makes it impossible to capture reality “whole” or its “source and substance” other than to simulate “them”.¹⁹

Even More To The Point:

The something of substance to which each vibration with meaning is pointing is anything of substance that the “body” is sensing as it is interacting with “its surroundings in a manner orchestrated by “its brain”; examples being what are now thought of and called:

An “event”, a “presence”, a “person”, a “body”, a “body with a brain”

A “wave”, a “particle”, an “atom”, a “molecule”, a “cell”

An “organism”, “bacteria”, a “virus”, a “disease”

A “sound” -- a “mark” -- a “vibration”

A “source” -- a “substance”

A “process”

The examples are “endless”. Yet, what matters is the something of substance that lies beneath each word/symbol/image.

For example: What are now be thought of and called “your verbal reality” and “your mind” are actually two vibrating existential state that are both created and informed by these vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images”; the “mind” and the “verbal reality” in which “it dwells” emerging only after the “body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can produce a vibration with meaning.²⁰

And, although there are many species that have what are called “verbal realities” and “mind”, we are the only species whose minds use these vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which each of “us” (or, more particularly, his/her “mind”) views and produces its “stories” concerning what lies Beneath Words.

Yet, that too is only

“The Beginning” Since

If you really think about what has just been verbally being stated using an act called “self-reflecting”, the “I” that is “you” is not “your given name” or any “name” or “number” you choose (act of selecting) to represent “you”. Instead, the “I” that is “you” is comprised of a “body” (“your body”) and a “brain” (“your brain”) that emerges, at birth, absent the presence of these vibrations with meaning that are now thought of and called “your words”, “your symbols”, “your images” and these two vibrating existential states now thought of and called “your verbal reality” and “your mind”. ²¹

To be sure, the “I” that is “you” has a “verbal reality” and a “mind”; the latter dwelling in the former. Yet, what is now thought of and called “your verbal” and “your mind” did not exists at “your birth”. Only “your body” and “your brain” emerged, at conception, then birth; emerging in an underlying reality (UR) whose source/substance is yet to be identified. Your “mind” emerging latter in “its verbal reality” (VR), but only after “your body in a manner coordinated by “its brain” could produce these vibrations with meaning called “your words”, “your symbols” and “your images”.

In Other Words

Using “your mind”

in a self-reflective manner,

Allow “your mind” to “think” this “way”.

~~~

Beneath Words

Each expression of all that exists existing is a

Vibration having vibrating characteristics that are unique to it;

Each expression of all that exists emerging

Present moment by present moment

For as long as it exists

Out of this underlying physical presence called

Vibration

An emerging that is occurring present moment to present moment

Pursuant to a natural selecting process -- a natural process of renormalizing

That is really a

Vibrating Interacting Process

That acts upon itself in the same manner that we presences called “human”

Act upon “ourselves” and produce

These vibrations with meaning -- the sounds/marks with meaning -- called

Words/Symbols/Images.

Above Words

Each expression of all that exists is a “bit of information” -- a “vibe”

And, in a short-handed manner,

Considered as such

Present moment to present moment

By any “mind” dwelling within “its verbal reality”

No matter what

Its Story.

A NEW KIND OF THINKING

The words that follow will look familiar. They are lifted, verbatim, from a previous book published by the Center For Vibrational Studies on its website. As stated previously: I repeat; on many occasions repeating the same verbal statement over and over again and again. Learning to “think” in a different way, takes practice -- lots of practice. Learning to “think” in a manner consistent with this new kind of thinking about which I write is no exception.

The hardest “thing” for any mind to grasp is that it is just a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) as are the “words/symbols/images that create and inform it as is the “body/brain” out of which “it” and these “words/symbols/images” are emerging as are the “cells”, “molecules”, “atoms”, “particles”, “subatomic particles” and “strings” that create and inform its (the mind’s) “body/brain”.

This awareness begins to emerges within a mind once this “mind” grasps the fact that it and its verbal reality are vibrating existential states that are both created and informed by vibrations expressed as “sounds” and “marks” that emerge from the “body/brain” once “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” can shape Vibration called “Sound/Light” into specific vibrations (specific sounds and marks) and associate those specific vibrations with somethings of substance that lay beneath them.

This awareness continues to emerge in this “mind” once this “mind” embraces a kind of thinking (a new kind of thinking) in which all that exists including “it” is a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) that is always interacting/interconnecting (communicating) with all other vibrating bits of information (each a “vibe”).

This awareness continues to emerge within this “mind” as this new kind of thinking reveals to the “mind” (act of self-reflecting) that it and its body/brain are vibrations having the potential to act upon “themselves” in the same manner as Vibration (as source/substance) acts upon “itself”....pursuant to a vibrating interacting process that this “mind” can think of as being a process of renormalizing -- a natural selecting process -- whereby the potential in each vibration and in Vibration is actualized (emerges through vibrating act of selecting).

For it is then and only then that this new kind of thinking reveals to “this mind” that it, its verbal reality, its verbal statements and its stories as well as its “words”, symbols” and “images” and “its body/brain” are vibrating bits of information that are parts of a whole -- the “whole” being a vast field of vibes that are always emerging, have always been emerging and will continue to emerge out of Vibration pursuant to this vibrating interacting process creating and inform multiple dimensions of “space/time” that each “mind” can “know” -- if it would only “listen”.

The Universe Emerged, Emerges

And Continues To Emerge

This Way

Being a vibe and being a part of a whole comprised of all vibes currently existing, the “mind”, once emerging, can sense, vibrationally, that each expression of all that exists (including “it”) is a vibe having embedded within “it” the “information” necessary to sense (to know) how “it” and all other “vibes” emerged; each “vibe” no matter what its “name” or “number” (including the following “vibes) being no exceptions:

Each word/symbol/image; verbal reality/mind;

Each verbal linguistic lens including each projection/measurement/thought;

Each verbal statement/story

Each “algorithm”, “mandala”, “prayer”, “spiritual/religious tradition”

Each other vibrational construct such as a “fabric of space/time”, a “melody”, a “supplication”, a “tradition”, a “habit”,

As well as

Each “body”, “each brain”, each “body with a brain”

“DNA”, “RNA”, a “telomere”, a “synapse”, an “axion”

Each “organism” and each “species” (no matter what their “names”)

Each “cell”, each “molecule”, each “atom”

Each “electron”, each “positron”, “each nucleus”

Each “particle”, each “subatomic particle”

Each “quark”, each “muon”, each “Higgs Boson”

Each “string”, each “thing”

Each “wave” including each probability wave

All emerging out of Vibration pursuant to this natural selecting process, this natural process of renormalizing that each “mind” now understands is a vibrating interacting process by which all vibes emerge.

New Model Of Reality

Using these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images”, the “mind” can construct a model of the vibrating reality of which it is a part and in which it and all other presences within it exist as vibes; this “model of reality” simulating how all that exists (including what is now thought of and called the “fabric space/time”) emerge as “vibrating bits of information”.

A Vibrating Model Of A Vibrating Reality

And Its Source/Substance

What is called space and what is called “time” do not exist in an absolute sense. Vibration exists in an absolute sense. What is called “space” and what is called “time” emerge out of the interacting among the most fundamental vibrations; those vibes being what are now thought of and called “strings” out of whose interacting emerge the most fundamental dimension of space/time (each dimension of space/time being another bit of information -- a vibe).

Thereafter, as these strings combine to form other subatomic particles, then particles, then atoms, then molecules, then cells, then organisms....each of these categories of “vibes” are supported by dimensions of space/time emerge through their interacting: each subsequently created dimension of space/time being supported by each previously created dimension of space/time (this gradual unfolding of each dimension of “space/time” emerging pursuant to his natural selecting process....this natural process of renormalizing....that is really a vibrating interacting process by which all that exists emerges from Vibration.

The space/time dimension that supports we “vibes” called “human” emerges as we interact with our surroundings producing what is and can be called three dimensions of space and one dimension of time -- a space/time fabric that is supported by all previously existing space/time dimensions in the order in which each space/time dimension manifested.

Within each space/time dimension, the vibes supported by that space/time dimension interact with each other heterarchically as each space/time dimension and the interacting vibes supported within it are interacting hierarchically; all within a unified, coherent pattern of vibes interacting with vibes and creating other vibes....that process being a creative process out of which a bias emerges....that bias being an historical bias embedded in each vibe and each space/time dimension favoring selections previously made.

Such is the way of Vibration and its vibrating interacting process; a process that acts upon its source/substance and produces all vibes (no matter what their name, number or species) in accordance with this rule (the most fundamental of equations):

V(P):+/-

It being the same “rule” -- the same “equation” -- by which a presence called “human” acts upon “her/her potential and produces “her/her” vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images, “her/his” vibrating existential states called “verbal reality/mind” and “her/his” vibrating linguistic lenses called projections, measurements and thoughts out of which “her/his” verbal statements and verbal stories emerge....there being an infinite number of verbal statements and verbal stories that can emerge (i.e. multiple vibrating verbal realities -- each a vibe)....there being only one vibrating underlying reality (a vibe) emerging from only one vibrating source/substance (Vibration).

Something to Think About

As we move onward.

It is as simple as that

Yet,

It is not that simple since

There is always the matter of proof -- isn’t there.

The matter of proving “true” to the “mind”

What the “body/brain” already knows (senses).

Bits of information that the mind

Can also know (sense)

If it would only

Listen.

1. Concerning The Following Five Diagrams

The following five Diagrams are set forth for the purpose of simulating in “words” “symbols” and “images” Humanity’s Wrong Turn.

The First Diagram (Image No. 1) depicts “words”, “symbols” and “images” as being only “words/symbols/images”....nothing more.

The Second Diagram (Image No. 2) depicts “words”, “symbols” and “images” as being sounds and marks....nothing more.

The Third Diagram (Image No. 3) depicts “words”, “symbols” and “images” as being sounds/marks/vibrations whose meanings are associated with the vibrations that lies beneath them -- there being no fundamental difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images” at their most fundamental level of existence (vibration)....each “word/symbol/image” being a sound/mark/ vibration with meaning.

The remaining two diagrams (images) build upon the first three diagrams (images):

Each of these five diagrams/images providing a picture of what it means to dwell only in a verbal reality Above Words versus what it means to dwell in both a verbal reality Above Words and a physical reality Beneath Words;

Each of these five diagrams/images, collectively, providing a “map” for you, the reader of these words, in case you get lost “in the words”....along the way. ²²

MOVING ON

“The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Perhaps Nietzsche had it “right”; or, perhaps he had it “wrong”. Yet, what is certain, what is true, is that Beneath Words there exists a source/substance that is always present....no matter what that presence is called. You and your tribe or community or group may call this source and substance by a name that is different from the name that I or my tribe/community/group superpose (project) upon “it”.

Nevertheless, beneath the words, symbols and images that create and inform the verbal reality and mind of a presence called “human” and his/her tribe community or group....beneath the words, symbols and images that create and inform each language of each tribe/community/group and its members... lies a common source/substance.

It is to this common source/substance that all vibrations with meaning called “words”, “symbols” and “images” are pointing....like flashing “signs”.

That common source/substance being Vibration....

....Vibration acting upon itself and producing this underlying reality in which all presences dwell as vibrations pursuant to the same process by which each of we presences called “human” act upon himself/herself, using his/her body/brain, to produces these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” that both create and inform his/her verbal reality and mind....

....that process being a vibrating interacting process that is always occurring in each moment called Now....

....notwithstanding it is easy to “think otherwise”.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

When birthed into “this Presence”, one is able to make sounds; yet unable to speak or to write.

With training the physical ability to sound “words” is achieved; an ability that over the years, with practice, emerges as an art.

With training the physical ability to mark “words” is also achieved and, if fortunate enough to be appropriately “schooled”, this ability to mark becomes an art form of its own, having many “variations” including the ability to “draw” a “symbol” or an “image”….a “picture”.

Soon, if properly “trained”, this ability to sound and mark words enhances the ability to speak, to act, to perform, to create, to work with tools in an ever more sophisticated manner and to self-reflect using words, symbols and images to do so.

Fortunately, I was blessed with parents who valued these abilities, not that either “mom” or “dad” was “schooled” in the halls of “universities”. Neither had a “PHD” or a college diploma; yet each of them saw the value of me, the writer of these words, having an education involving “higher learning”.

So….I acknowledge my parents for instilling in “me” a quest for learning and a deep seated curiosity that allowed me, along the way on my journey, to meet and have the privilege to know many people in all “walks of life”.

I also acknowledge my wives, my children, my partners and my mentors, each of whom has provided me with a learning experience that I, hopefully, returned in some way.

And, I also want to acknowledge a few dogs who through my interacting with them….and them with me….brought forth an understanding that the interacting (communicating) is always occurring “vibrationally” among “all that exists”.

Additionally, I want to acknowledge those masters of the technology world who put in motion a platform that allows me to present this book on this website. But for this platform being created, there would have been no way for this book to emerge in “print form”.

Lastly, I want to acknowledge, you, the reader of these words, for choosing (act of selecting) to dive beneath “your words”, “your symbols” and “your images” into the reality that lies beneath all words, all symbols and all images. It does take quite a bit of courage to make this dive; particularly if you have been trained to collapse this reality into “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” and thereby only float along their verbal surface.

CONCERNING THIS SPECIFIC BOOK

The purpose of this book is to two-fold as is the purpose of each book in this twelve-book series:

First, to elaborate upon previous verbal statements made concerning Humanity’s Wrong Turn; verbal statements made in other books presented on the website of the Center For Vibrational Studies.

Second, to illustrate more definitively why Humanity’s Wrong Turn occurred and the new kind of thinking required to course-correct.

The best evidence of this Wrong Turn being the failure of the “mind” (both each individual mind and the collective mind of Humanity as a whole) to accept, verbally, that once it emerges as a vibrating existential state...

....what is occurring in each present moment and from moment to moment....

....is that it is superposing/projecting (act of selecting) within “its verbal reality” in that present moment vibrations with meaning upon a something of substance that its body is sensing in a manner orchestrated by its brain.

....a “something of substance” that is happening

Beneath Words

A “something happening here” that the Center and this book is seeking to make clear - that being what is happening here, beneath words and the symbols and images that accompany them, is a vibrational happening

A vibrational happening that is being vibrationally sensed by these vibrations called “our bodies”, “our brains” and “our mind” in each present moment called “Now”....

....This present moment called “Now” being the only moment that any vibration really has...

....This present moment being the only moment in which “all that exists emerges....

....As weird or bizarre as that may now sound or appear.

In fact, although it may now sound or appear weird or bizarre, what is “true” -- what is “real” -- is that every something of substance is a vibration having its own unique vibrating characteristics and its own history; each vibration being a vibrating bit of information (a “vibe”) that comprises a “part” of the “whole”....

....not capable of being explained or described since each vibration (each vibe) is a part of Vibration (as source/substance)....

....yet capable of being simulated by we presences called “human”, using these vibrations with meaning called

“words/symbols/images”²³

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

POST LOGUE

A Reminder

(“Re”-“mind”- “er”)

Admittedly, many of the verbal statements set forth in this book and the next two books that comprise this twelve-book series are repetitious of what has been verbally stated in the first five books in this twelve-book series.....repeating what has previously been verbally stated concerning this new kind of thinking about which I write.

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 previously educated into this new kind of thinking in which you are now being educated. However, with practice, this new kind of thinking will ultimately supplement your current kind of thinking, providing you with a new perspective concerning what it means to be “alive”.

More To The Point:

If you really take a moment or two to “self-reflect” on “your life” and what it means to be “alive” as a member of Humanity, it soon becomes clear that you emerged at birth as an infant without the benefit of words.²⁴ All members of Humanity emerge in this way as do all “members” of every “species” of life.

Self-reflecting on “life” in this manner, it soon does become clear to you that it was “hard work” -- first learning how to produce your first word using the mechanics of “voice” and “hand” and then learning how to string the words that were emerging from you into phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs, etc.

During this “educational process” (which is really a part of an “evolutionary process” -- a Creative Process -- pursuant to which all that exists emerges, learns and creates), no thought is given to the fact that:

Your words are sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning pointing to the vibrations that lies beneath them.²⁵

Nor is any thought given to the fact that:

What is now thought of and called “your mind” is a vibrating existential state as is “your verbal reality” -- a “verbal reality” that is changing moment by moment....a vibrating verbal reality in which your mind dwells as a vibration.

Nor is any thought given to the fact that the sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning called “your words” serve as vibrating linguistic lenses called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts” through which you (or, more particularly, “your mind”

(i) view the reality into which your body and your brain were birthed; and,

(ii) produce (create) verbal statements (“stories”) about this reality and its source/substance.

*****

Yet, during this “educational process”, you do “learn” the acceptable ways of “your tribe/community” including the acceptable ways to “think” about “life” and how “life” emerged.

In fact, just becoming educated in this manner is “hard work” and is a prerequisite to your being able to use “your mind” in either (i) an acceptable way or (ii) a new creative way.

Thus, it is in this manner that you learn to use “your mind” in conjunction with your body and your brain for purposes of producing a perfect “golf swing” or the perfect “legal document” or a “creation story/model of reality” that coherently simulates the emergence of all that exists.

Yet, once again, if not “careful”, it is easy to give to give no thought to the facts previously mentioned concerning “the mind”, “its verbal reality” and all of the “thoughts”, “measurements”, “projections” and “verbal statements/stories” that emerge Above Words concerning what lies beneath them -- Beneath Words.

In other words, despite your best efforts, if you cannot answer these two fundamental questions concerning “words”:

What Is the true nature of words?

From whence do “words” emerge?

then, most likely, your “creation story/model of reality” will remain only one creation story or model of reality among many....none coherently simulates the emergence of all that exists.²⁶

*****

Learning how “to think” is “hard work”. Learning how “to think” using a current kind of thinking that treats “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” -- nothing more -- is also “hard work”.

Yet, this “hard work” pales in comparison to really learning how “to think” using this new kind of thinking that treats “words/symbols/images” as what they really are: sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning that serve as a vibrating bridge connecting what lies Above Words, vibrationally, with what lies Beneath Words, vibrationally.

Nothing is easy when it comes to “thinking”. The “mind” is always getting in the way as are the “words/symbols/images” that create and inform “its verbal reality”.

Thus, once again, I verbally state that the first eight books in this twelve-book series, sets forth my way of explaining and describing (simulating) how this new kind of thinking about which I write works.

Only then....once having completed the first eight books of this twelve-book series will you feel comfortable with this new kind of thinking, thereby allowing you to move more easily onward in your Journey, Beneath Words, to the ninth book in the series followed by books ten, eleven and twelve; the purpose of these last four books being to (really) open “your mind/body/brain” to what it really means for “you” 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”.

One Final “Note”

As promised, all twelve books in this twelve-part series will be published in 2020, followed by an expansion of the Center’s website which will explode on the scene in early 2021.

Until then, please read each of the twelve books in the order in which they were published.

And, please excuse any typos that you find along the way; it being difficult for me, the sole editor of my writing), to catch these pesky “typos”. My hope is that none of these “typos” accidently shift the meaning of my “words”.

¹Everything interacts (communicates) vibrationally through this vibrating interacting (selecting) process; what are called “stem cells” being no exceptions.

²Diving deep into what is occurring Beneath Words is “hard work”. Yet, becoming “mindful” of what is really occurring Above Words may be even “harder work” since until “your mind” really knows what is really occurring Above Words and how your “words”, “symbols” and “images” really emerge, there will be no way for “your mind” to grasp what is really occurring Beneath Words.

³Note that the sounds and marks that emerge from “your body” are sounds/marks that are unique to you. Note that when speaking or writing a “word”, “symbol” or “image” you are performing acts of sounding/marking in your own unique way. How you sound or mark a “word/symbol/image” is unique to you -- evidencing the vibrationally footprint that you are. As it turns out, no one stands in “your shoes”. Not only do you have a “perspective” that is unique to you; you also have your own unique way of sounding/marking. In fact, a similar statement applies to all forms of “life”; each having a vibrational footprint unique to “it”. (More about this vibrational footprint later when we turn to the subject called Life and answer the question: What is Life? with more particularity....using this new kind of thinking.)

⁴Each “mind/verbal reality” is unique. See Footnote 1. In fact, many “species” have these two vibrating existential states; however, we “humans” are the only “species” that call these vibrating existential states “mind” and “verbal reality”.

⁵Your “body/brain/mind” is a vibrationally feedback system. More will be verbally stated about this system when we turn to the subject called Life. See Footnote 1.

⁶This syntax shapes the “brain”, vibrationally; “body/brain/mind” being interconnected, vibrationally. See Footnotes 1 - 3 in that order.

⁷The irony is that “your body” and “your brain” would still exist even if there were no such “things” called “words/symbols/images”; “verbal realities/minds”; “projections/measurements/thoughts”; “language/syntax”; “verbal statements”; “stories”; “creation stories” and “models of reality”. You would exist; however, you would not be able to verbally state in the simplest of ways: “I am human; I am presence; I exist; I have a body and a brain.” Fortunately, most of we “humans” do have words, symbols and image at our disposal, the challenge being to use them in an acceptable way that is vibrationally coherent with “all that exists”.

⁸The word, “water” is a sound/mark/vibration with meaning; the word, “water” emerging only after “you” have been taught by a “teacher” to produce the specific sound, “water” or the specific mark, “water”, and superpose that the specific vibration upon what “you” are vibrationally sensing in “your body” (“your hand”) in a manner vibrationally orchestrated by “your brain”.

⁹Admittedly, the word, “vibration” is only a “word”. Yet, when you dive deep beneath this word, “vibration” or any “word”, what you find is that each “word” (including the word, “vibration”) is expressed in the form of a “sound” or a “mark”: each “sound” being a function of Vibration called “Sound”; each “mark” being a function of Vibration called “Light”. In fact, a similar statement can be made for a “symbol” or an “image”. Even more to the point: when you consult a dictionary of your choosing for purposes of seeking the definition of a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image”....if you treat “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as only “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image” (nothing more)....what you soon discover is that you remain circling in “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” over what lies beneath “it”. Thus, course correcting Humanity’s Wrong Turn lies in moving beneath “words”, “symbols” and “images” into the sound.... the mark....the vibration....that is “the word”, “the symbol” or “the image” and accepting as fact that the meaning of the sound/mark/vibration emerges from the vibration that lies beneath it.

¹⁰It is the “hand” that makes we “humans” unique; or, more particularly, the ability to use “thumb” and “fingers” to grasp a marking tool and apply it to a smooth surface. See The Hand, How its use shapes the brain, language and human culture by Frank R. Wilson (Random House, 1998).

¹¹Although there are many “species” of vibrations that can produce these vibrations with meaning and these two vibrating existential states, we “humans” are the only “species” of vibration that call these vibrations with meaning “words”, “symbols” and “images” and these two vibrating existential states “verbal reality” and “mind”.

¹²The “brain” orchestrates the interacting of “its body”, vibrationally, as “its body” is interacting, interconnecting and communicating, vibrationally, with other vibrations in “its surroundings”; the “brain” coordinates the interacting that occurs when the “body” produces a vibration in the form of a “sound” or a “mark” for the purposes of (A) identifying the vibration with which it is interacting, interconnecting and communicating, vibrationally, be that vibration called (i) “a vibrating something of substance” or (ii) an “happening” or an “event” (B) producing a “boundary” that can be sensed by other vibrations in its surroundings (e.g. “marking” its territory as is the case of the “lion’s roar” and the “wolf’s mark”). The “key word” is interacting; it being a vibration with meaning that points to the vibrating interacting process by which Vibration (V) acts upon “itself”....its Potential (P) and each vibration (v) acts upon itself....its potential (p).

¹³Recognizing that the spoken word is a function of “sound” is relatively easy when compared to recognizing the written word is a function of “light”; this latter fact only becoming apparent once you enter a “dark room” and experience your inability to “see” the written/marked/drawn word, symbol or image”. For it is then and only then....in that dark room....that you gain a “sense” of what it feels like to be “blind”, having to learn “braille” and the sense of “touching” a “raised image” in order to interact (“communicate”), verbally, using “marks”. To “see” -- really “see” requires the presence of this Vibration called “Light”; to “hear” -- really “hear” requires the presence of this Vibration called “Sound”. To not be able to “hear” -- to experience only “silence” -- makes interacting with the “sounded word” impossible, meaning that there has to be a reliance upon “signing” (“sign language”) if any verbal interacting/communicating is to occur. Yet, not being able to hear/see at “birth” makes interacting/communicating, verbally, almost (not quite) impossible. Nevertheless, once “your mind” grasps the fact that words, symbols and images are really vibrations with meaning that can be sensed, vibrationally, a whole new reality opens up to your “mind” and to “you”....an underlying (“nonverbal”) vibrating reality that lies beneath these vibrations with meaning called “words/symbols/images” and that is always being

sensed, vibrationally.

¹⁴Be mindful as you read this section, this will, most likely, be the hardest “thing” for “your mind” either to understand or to accept as “true”. Be patient as you navigate this section and perform the requested “observation”, since within the parameters of this section, there lies an explanation (i) for why these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- emerge out of the bodies/brains of we presences called “human” in our own unique way as a “species”; (ii) how each “tribe” or “community” emerges with an unique “language” of its own; (iii) how it is that the mind and its verbal reality (each a vibrating existential state) emerge present moment by present moment and (iv) how it is that the “mind” (while existing in its “verbal reality”) uses these vibrations with meaning as vibrating linguistic lenses (called “projections”, “measurements” and “thoughts”) through which “it” (the “mind”) views this underlying reality in which “its body/brain” dwells and produces “stories” about what is happening “now” or what it “thinks” happened.

¹⁵The primary function of “your brain” is to sustain “its survival” and the survival of “the body” (“your body”) in which “it” dwells. “Your mind”, once it emerges and is educated to “project”, “measure” and “think” using these vibrations with meaning -- these sounds/marks with meaning -- called “words”, “symbols” and “images”, may or may not have a different focus, depending upon the “current kind of thinking” that it embraces. Nothing “wrong” with that focus as long as “the mind” understands that while it “thinks” about how it came to be that “it” exists, the “brain” is doing the “hard work” -- keeping the “its body” alive in each present moment so that “its mind” can “think” about what is happening in that present moment and all previous present moments. In other words, what the “brain” knows is that “it” and “its body” must survive present moment to present moment as “it” and “its body” are interacting with its surroundings. Although “the mind” can “think” about what “it” and “its body/brain” can possess (nothing wrong with that); “the mind” does actually have the capacity to “think” -- once it emerges -- that “it” is the source and substance of “all that exists”; a narcistic behavior that can, and frequently does, lead to “conflict” among “minds” and “their body/brains” and a forgetting (a wrong turn) from whence it (“the mind”) emerged and continues to emerge. And, there is “something wrong with that thought” since this forgetting causes a failure of “the mind” to focus upon the initial conditions (the “boundary conditions”) upon which “it” and “its body/brain” are “sensitively dependent”.

¹⁶Admittedly, this section is “tough going” for any “mind”, particularly for a “mind” schooled in a current way of thinking that embraces only “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” as a “word”, a “symbol” or “an image” -- nothing more. Best practice is that you “re-read” this section substituting for the “real tree” a vibrating something of substance called “a cat” or a “dog” or a “flower”. Ironically, even an “image” (a “picture) of any something of substance works since the “image” is, in fact, a vibrating something of substance.

¹⁷Simply stated: if there is a “soul” (which there is), the word, “soul” is standing in for the vibration that it is. If there is a “source and substance of all that exists” (which there is), there are many words that can stand in for/represent this Presence; the word, Vibration, being the best word, since its presence is always being sensed by the “body/brain” and the “mind” once they emerge.

¹⁸Keep in mind that what has just been verbally stated applies only to we presences called “human” since we are the only “presences” that call these vibrations with meaning “words/symbols/images”. However, many “presences” in “our surroundings” produce have the potential to produce and actually do produce vibrations with meaning. Specific vibrations (specific sounds/marks) that are unique to “them” and whose meaning is associated with a specific act of “sounding” or “marking”....e.g. the “lion” roars as the “wolf” urinates; each seeking to “define” its “territory” in its own unique manner so that other “presences” within these “territories” know of the presence of the “lion” and the “wolf”. In this sense -- at their most fundament level of existence -- there is no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”; each being a vibration with meaning expressed as a specific sound or a specific mark. In this sense, “all presences” are always interacting and interconnecting (communicating) among “themselves”, vibrationally, in their own unique way; selecting vibrating acts of sounding and vibrating acts of marking that evidence a specific meaning -- observe the “buzzing of bees”, the “singing of birds”, the “response” of “your dog” or “your cat” to your acts of sounding and, hopefully, “you get the point”. Producing vibrations with meaning is a natural act that is constantly evolving.

¹⁹“Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.” (Blaise Pascal, Pensées); a fact that will remain “true” until “we” really understand the innerworkings of “our brains”.

²⁰Please read the preceding footnote. Then allow “your mind” to give some “thought” to the fact that -- although there are many presences that have the potential to produce and actually do produce these two vibrating existential states, we presences called “human” are the only presences that call these two vibrating existential states “verbal reality” and “mind”.

²¹A linguistic mechanic that mathematicians and physicists use when engaging with the “infinite” is a verbal selecting process called “renormalizing”; a verbal selecting process by which what can be thought of and called “infinity” or the “infinite” or “infinite potential” is cancelled out, thereby enabling the mathematician or the physicist to produce a “finite” calculation. There are many applications of this verbal selecting process; each application relating to a particular “verbal reality” in which the “mathematician” or “physicists” is embedded. However, as will soon be discovered, this “process” is much more than a “verbal process”; the phrase “renormalizing process” or “process of renormalizing” actually standing in for/representing an underlying selecting phenomenon -- an underlying selecting process by which “all that exists” emerges out of what can now be thought of and called “infinite potential”....the act of selecting “your given name” or any “name” being an example of this selecting process (an underlying phenomenon that you can “think of” and “call” a natural selecting act or “evolution” or “creation” or “bio-mimicry” or simply “mimicry” -- an natural selecting act that is actually much more than what it appears to be.

²²Note to the Reader: Always remain “mindful” when viewing these images that in this new kind of thinking about which I write, at the most fundamental level of their existence, each word, each symbol and each image is a vibration -- more specifically a sound/mark/vibration with meaning pointing to the vibration that lies beneath it. In other words, at the most basic level of their existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”.

²³There are many writings that will gradually surface on the Center’s website. Some of these writings are presented as “books”, each usually bearing within its title, the phrase Beneath Words© (but not always). The remaining writings are presented as “journals”, each “journal” (some very long) depicting “my journey, Beneath Words” (or, more particularly, how I, the writer of these words, ultimately was able to consolidate “my thoughts” into a more concise verbalizing using what I call a new way of thinking that embraces “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image” more than just “a word”, “a symbol” and “an image”. To be sure, in “the beginning” of the first “verbal reality” there was “the word”, “the symbol” and “the image”. Yet, in that “verbal beginning”, “each word”, “each symbol” and “each image” as it emerged from “the body” in a manner coordinated by “its brain” was something of substance much more than simply a “word”, a “symbol” or an “image” (or “the word”). Each being a vibration whose meaning was associated (and still is associated) with something of substance that lies beneath it....a underlying something of substance that dwells in an underlying reality” whose true nature these writings seek to identify.

²⁴Note to the Reader: Always remain “mindful” that in this new kind of thinking about which I write, at the most fundamental level of their existence, each word, each symbol and each image is a vibration -- more specifically a sound/mark/vibration with meaning pointing to the vibration that lies beneath it. In other words, at the most basic level of their existence, there is really no difference among “words”, “symbols” and “images”. Thus, when I sound (speak) or mark (write) any verbal statement concerning “words”, recognize that a similar statement applies to a “symbol” or an “image”. Similarly, when I sound (speak) or mark (write) any verbal statement concerning “symbols” or “image”, a similar statement applies to “words”. In this sense, when I am verbally stating anything about “words”, “symbols” and “image”, I am sounding/speaking/marking/writing in code about these sounds/marks/vibrations with meaning using “them” to do so.... sounding/speaking/marking/writing in code, vibrationally.

²⁵Note To The Reader: Always keep “in mind” that within the context of this new kind of thinking, this Creative Process is a vibrating interacting (selecting) process frequently called “evolution” -- occasionally called an interactive force....and even more infrequently called a natural process of renormalizing; this Creative Process being the process by which all acts of selecting are made and all “biases” emerge naturally. In fact, keep “in mind” that all acts (frequently described as “verbs”) are acts of selecting -- the act of word creation being one example....the acts of “thinking/measure/ projecting being three other examples....each “bodily act” coordinated by the “brain” being no exception. And keep “in mind” that these “natural biases” are part of an Historical Bias that naturally emerges out of this Creative Process (e.g. “DNA”, “genetics”, “habits”, etc.).
