What is Popcorn Time?

When people get together with friendsto watch a movie or a big event likethe World Series or Superbowl, theyoften prepare a batch of popcorn.

Making your own popcorn is easy.You pour seeds in the popper and addhot air. For a while nothing happens.Then a kernel pops. Soon anotherpops. After a few random pops, thepopping increases. Before you knowit the whole batch is popping almostall at once. Then the popping tapersoff to just a few late pops. Thekernels have almost all expanded andturned inside out. You are ready toadd seasoning and enjoy the show.

The Greatest Show on Earth

We are about to participate in thegreatest show on Earth, and we are thepopcorn. Earth is undergoing whatscientists call a phase transition -- aradical shift from one style offunctioning to a completely new styleof functioning.

Mankind is the key element in thistransition, but it will affect everyaspect of our beautiful planet --spiritual, emotional, mental, physical,and environmental.

This little book is about the epic eventthat is beginning to happen rightNOW. In a sense it marks themoment that humanity comes of age.

Transition to Enlightenment

"Popcorn Time" is just an analogy forthe inside-out flip-over transition ofhumanity from a race of beingsgroping to understand who they areand what they are doing here on thisplanet to a civilization of enlightenedbeings fully integrated with thegalactic community and the cosmos.

The transition from "ignorance" to"enlightenment" is a curiousexperience that can be somewhatconfusing -- so much so that manypeople don't even want to go there.The purpose of this book is to sort outwhat changes and what does notchange during such a transition so youknow what it's about.

What is Enlightenment?

Many people believe enlightenment issomething mystical or spiritual that isimpossible to explain clearly andlogically. I strongly disagree.

You may have noticed that you do notsee things clearly in a dark room. Toresolve this problem you simply flickthe light switch on. When you turnon the light, you see everything in theroom clearly. Once you can seeclearly, the only question becomes:what are you going to do in yourbrightly lit room?

The beautiful thing about this era isthat we now know where the lightswitch is, so anyone can turn it on.

So Where is the Switch?

There is a common belief that youmust go find a master, meditate, join areligion, and/or generally developyourself in various ways for a longtime (years or even decades) and thenmaybe you will reach enlightenment.

Many religious leaders and teachershold out "enlightenment" or somespiritual equivalent as the final rewardfor joining their organization andpracticing their faith or discipline.The wise men of the past who poppedby themselves discovered inretrospect that this was not necessary.Belief systems and disciplines canoften hinder enlightenment rather thanpromote it. They unbalance a person.

Would You Prefer Now or Later?

Practice of a discipline can be verygood for a person, and practice ofsome disciplines may lead some daylater to a mystical state ofenlightenment, but usually within nowell defined period of time.

On the other hand, what if there is aform of enlightenment that isscientifically verifiable, clearlyunderstandable, and available toalmost everyone right now? Such astate provides a solid and stablefoundation for any life-supportingpractice, discipline, or program ofdevelopment.

Would you prefer now or later?

Imagine

If you are already enlightened andclear about the essence of your reality,you can focus your attention onpractical achievements in your life.

You can develop social skills,business skills, intellectual skills,technical skills, athletic skills, and soon with the express aim of enjoyinglife to its fullest for yourself, andperhaps also for making somesignificant contributions to the qualityof life on our planet to be enjoyed bymany others. At the same time youcan do all this with the certainty,security, and stability of a person witha clear vision that is eternally valid forpast, present, and future.

Balance and Attention

The ancients called the state ofbalance samaadhi (India), and sema

tawy or aakhet (ancient Egypt). In astate of perfect balance you perceivenothing. This is undefined awareness.To perceive something you disturb thebalance. The disturbance creates amotion with an equal and oppositemotion that restores the balance,returning all to equilibrium.Perception of something is aviewpoint out of equilibrium. We cancall it attention or defined awareness.Passive attention simply observeswithout judgment, and dynamicattention is directed by the judgmentsof the will. Consciousness is a flow ofattention.

The State of Balance is Equilibrium

The ancient Egyptians used amechanical scale to represent the stateof equilibrium. One pan holds ahuman heart, and the other pan holdsa feather that symbolizes truth. Thescale is always drawn in equilibrium,and right over the fulcrum is a littlegolden baboon sitting at the balancepoint. With the slightest impulse thebaboon can impart motion to the scalein any direction he desires. Heplayfully acts from the viewpoint ofenlightenment.

Then What Do You Have to Do?

Nothing. Enlightenment is notsomething that happens because youDO something. It is a point of view,an attitude, and does not depend onany practice or way of life. Youdon't even have to flick a switch. Justby noticing the enlightened point ofview you are already there. It is notparticularly mystical or even spiritual-- unless you believe it is. Of course,once you are there you can adapt tothe enlightened viewpoint anddevelop yourself in many remarkableways with enlightenment as yourstable foundation. So let's switchour attention to the enlightenedviewpoint and explore it to seewhether it is worth enjoying.

How Do I Know It's Real?

Doubt is natural when you are facedwith such an outlandish claim that youare really enlightened. However, thenature of enlightenment is such that itverifies itself. There is a sort oftranscendental logic to it.

"This sentence is a lie." If thissentence is a lie, it is true, if it is true,it is a lie. Logic breaks down withsuch a self referring statement.

"You experience what you believe."Even if you do not believe thatstatement, it is still true. This is anexample of transcendental logic thatinterfaces with experience and is notjust "logical" words.

Transcendental Enlightenment (TE)

A lady recently told me, "I know youare not enlightened." I told her,"Fine, that is your viewpoint." Fromthe viewpoint of enlightenmenteveryone is enlightened, so if youthink someone (yourself or someoneelse) is not enlightened, that thoughtmerely indicates you are not viewingthe world from the viewpoint ofenlightenment. This is thetranscendental logic of enlightenmentthat self-verifies itself. The lady isenlightened, but chooses not toknow it, and is free to feel that way.An enlightened one does not deny thepossibility of other viewpoints thatseem in conflict. Let's explore theenlightened viewpoint to see why.

Some Examples of TE

Buddhist tradition holds that GautamaSakyamuni vowed to enlighten allsentient beings before attaining hisown enlightenment as Buddha. Howcould he have fulfilled his vow if somany people still see themselves andothers as very unenlightened today?

Many Christians believe that Jesushas saved everyone. How is thatpossible if so many people still rejectJesus as their savior and so many stillexperience suffering?

The secret is that Jesus and Buddhafound the viewpoint from which allsentient beings are by definitionenlightened. Let's find it.

A Scientific Definition of TE

Transcendental Enlightenment isthe viewpoint from which youperceive everything in terms of lightthat you yourself generate. Tounderstand this statement we firstbroaden our definition of "light" toinclude the full spectrum ofelectromagnetic (EM) interactions.

Our entire experience of the universeis via the sensory perceptions ofvision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.We add to this the mental activities ofthought, feeling, emotion, imagination,memory, and so on.

The nervous system is a biologicalEM device.

Page 17: POPCORN TIME 140414v - bentylightgarden.combentylightgarden.com/POPCORN_TIME_131115.pdf · Popcorn Time © Douglass A. White, 2013 140414v 7 So Where is the Switch? There is a common

Popcorn Time © Douglass A. White, 2013 140414v 17

What Does This Mean?

Since every mental or physicalexperience we have occurs via the EMinteraction, we may say that allsentient beings perceive andexperience their reality in terms oflight. By this scientific definition allsentient beings are by definitionenlightened and always have been.

This means that you and everyoneelse have always been enlightenedwhether you knew it or not. Mostpeople with a high school educationalready know these scientificprinciples, but their teachers do notdraw the obvious conclusions. Acloser look reveals many otherstartling conclusions.

EM Perception Physics (Vision)

Vision is obviously perception of light.However, the EM interaction isalways a two-way "handshake"process. When a photon of lightreaches your eye, you have alreadysent an "attention" photon to the lightsource. Attention photons movebackward in time and light photonsmove forward in time.

This becomes an awesome interactionwhen you look at a star that is amillion light-years distant. Yourattention travels a million years intothe past to interact with and travelwith the photon that reaches your eyefrom the distant star in the presentmoment.

EM Perception Physics (Touch)

When you walk on the ground, yourfeet seem to touch the ground.Actually you experience EMlevitation, because the outer electronsin your feet and in the groundmutually repel. The atoms aremostly space and never actually touch.Only the EM energies of the atomsinteract.

Hearing, taste, and smell arespecialized variations of touch. Soall physical perceptions are forms ofEM interaction and only interact aslight.

EM Mental Physics

All mental processes are biochemicalEM interactions. These include:

ThoughtsFeelingsEmotionsMemoriesImaginationsDreams

Internal physiological processes arealso all governed by EM interactions,most of which are biochemical innature and are also for the most partautomated.

Suffering is a Light (EM) Signal

If you are ill or injured, your bodysends signals that something ishappening that may threaten yourbody's ability to stay alive.

We often resist pain and otherdiscomforts. However, we installedthem there as instincts so that wewould know when the body is notfunctioning properly. Usually themore threatening the situation, themore severe the discomfort.

Nevertheless, all of these distresssignals are forms of light since theyare all EM interactions.

Is Enlightenment Bliss?

There is a notion widely circulated byNew Age gurus such as MaharishiMahesh Yogi that the nature of life is"bliss" and that enlightenment bringsone into the realm of permanent bliss.Unfortunately Maharishi himself, ashis Master before him, grew old anddied. So have many of the followersof such great masters. This tells usthat we may not avoid the sufferingand death attendant to the possessionof a physical body. Maharishi oncecommented that the expandedawareness of enlightenedconsciousness is like a large line ofbliss drawn next to the small dot ofpersonal suffering. Bliss trumpssuffering but does not fully erase it.

The Role of Stress

Stress arises from resistance. Wheredoes resistance come from? Itoriginates from an effort to not acceptthe way things are just as they are.Increase of stress eventually results inthe break down of any structure,however robust it may be.Originally there is nothing, and theemergence of something is aresistance to the existence of onlynothing. Resistance is the beginningof creation. Harry Palmer points outthat the more one resists any thing(including nothing), the more that"thing" persists. Therefore theformula for a cosmos that persists intime and space or any dimension is tocontinuously resist its existence.

Page 24: POPCORN TIME 140414v - bentylightgarden.combentylightgarden.com/POPCORN_TIME_131115.pdf · Popcorn Time © Douglass A. White, 2013 140414v 7 So Where is the Switch? There is a common

Popcorn Time © Douglass A. White, 2013 140414v 24

The Effects of Resistance

The more one resists nothingness, themore nothingness persists. The moreone resists "somethingness", the more"somethingness" persists. Becauseany creation is only a very partialvalue of the whole cosmos, it is nevertotally satisfying. By its natureconsciousness only permits partialexperiences, so people persistentlyresist the resulting dissatisfaction.Wise ones learn to deliberately resistwhatever they desire -- which resultsin the persistent experience of whatthey resist. The truly wealthycontinuously invest or donate theirwealth, so it keeps flowing in. Thepoverty stricken resist their povertyand so they continue in poverty.

Stress and Health

If a person resists conditions thataffect mind and body, the persistenceof such stress may accumulate in theindividual and result in the loss ofmental and/or physical health. Theantidote to stress is relaxation andacceptance. Even better is deliberateand positive selection of experiences,because that eliminates the feeling ofstress and allows for true relaxation inthe stressful situation.

One technique for conscious deeprelaxation is meditation. Regularmeditation develops a smoothadaptability of the attention to anystressful situation. Deep relaxation ofmind and body releases stresses.

Popcorn Time © Douglass A. White, 2013 140414v 26

Managing Personal Stress

We can understand the role ofrelaxation by recognizing personalsuffering as a very localized eventwithin the vast ocean of EM lightinteractions. The ability to shiftattention from fixation on an isolatedlocal event or simply to expand thehorizon of attention shows how blisstrumps suffering as long as we decidethat the general EM light interactionsare what we may call "bliss". In alocalized consciousness, suffering dueto stress pulls the attention out of deepsilence. This is a side effect ofrelaxing prior stresses, not adding newstress. Regular relaxation withincreased adaptability systematicallyreduce stress in any system.

Personal Stress and Cosmic Stress

An organism can only handle alimited amount of stress withoutbreaking down. Thus systematicremoval of old stress throughrelaxation and prevention of newstress through adaptability can lead tothe minimization of stress on afunctioning organism. If stress iswhat pulls the attention of anorganism out of deep relaxation (suchas sleep or meditation), it might seemthat there would be nothing to pull astress-free and highly adaptableorganism out of deep relaxation.When asked why someone who isstress-free might find attention pulledinto activity, Maharishi suggested itcould be "cosmic stress".

Cosmic Stress = Cosmic Suffering?

The notion of cosmic stress suggeststhat all of the phenomenal universehas the essential nature of stress (i.e.,suffering) since it consists ofdisturbances within undefinedawareness that generate theappearance of mental and physicalcreations. Bliss seems only "real" inthe sense of the undefined awarenessthat is the transcendental nature of theself. Since this nature is undefined, wemay call it "bliss", but it really has noparticular quality. The "bliss"becomes the self-defined subtleplatform for all creations, the essentialnature of the EM light bubble. Allcreations then become expressions ofthat fundamental quality.

Sat, Chit, Ananda

In classical India the fundamentalqualities of the self traditionally arecalled Sat, Chit, and Ananda. Sat isthe pure undefined awareness of theobserver. Chit is the discriminatingquality that decides what a creationshall be. Ananda is the quality ofbliss that derives from the reality thatit makes no sense to create somethingthat you do not enjoy. Thecreator/experiencer has the essentialquality of bliss since there is no pointin creating anything unless it hassome quality of interest, enjoyment,entertainment, etc., and the source ofthe creation has to be something fullof interest, joy, and humor in order toreflect such qualities in creations.

Mental and Physical Limitations

Every sentient being lives inenlightenment. The only problem abeing faces is a habitual attachment toa mental and physical identity.

The EM light energy is by naturealways conserved and may not bedestroyed. However, the mental andphysical identities that we attachattention to in order to play in theuniverse are subject to eventualdissolution. Such dissolution violatesthe instinctive programs for survivaland results in a sense of suffering.

Enlightenment simply involves a shiftof perspective so that such limitationsand discomfort are not so bothersome.

Is Enlightenment Difficult?

Maharishi once commented :

Whosoever advocated concentration,control, and the need of detachmentand renunciation for enlightenment . . .Did not know what he was talkingabout. (quoted by Jerry Jarvis in G.Ellis, Symposium of Silence: AnEnlightened Vision, p. 88.) It is hardto achieve enlightenment in these fourways because of the nature of themind and body. These four are allspecial skills that actually tend tounbalance awareness and renderrelaxation into the simple state ofenlightenment much more difficult toachieve. Since enlightenment is onlya chosen viewpoint the shift is easy.

Enlightenment is Always for All

Enlightenment is a viewpoint everyperson already has available andalways has had. It is our essentialnature. No technique, practice, orspecial life style is necessary. In asense enlightenment is a meaninglessconcept -- except that by developingcertain habits of thought andperception within an organic body, wehave somehow become biased intobelieving that we are subject tophysical, mental, and spirituallimitations. We are always free toassume any viewpoint, and viewpointshifting is virtually effortless. So wemight as well recognize that we arealways free at any moment to choosethe viewpoint of enlightenment.

Enlightenment Has Practical Value

The global viewpoint ofenlightenment is not simply ameaningless idea. It has extremepractical value in our lives. Itprovides a stable platform forknowledge, action, achievement, andfulfillment -- the components of a"successful" life. Of course successis something measured firstly bypersonal and perhaps also secondarilyby social values. If you do not knowfor sure where you are going, it ishard to be sure you are doing the rightthing to get anywhere or whether anyaction will be of any ultimate value.From the enlightened viewpoint thereis certainty plus compassion andappreciation for all things.

An Enlightenment Checklist

Here is a checklist so you can tellwhether you are enjoyingenlightenment.*Do you see yourself and all beings asenlightened?*Do you make all the decisions thataffect your reality?*Do you take full responsibility for alldecisions (yours and those you"delegate" to others)?*Do you deeply appreciate everyphenomenon and being in yourcosmos?*Can you relax and simply enjoy yourreality just as it is as perfect and fullof wonder?*Do you feel compassion for andharmony with all creations?

Five Eternal Keys

Key #1 is light. Everything is interms of the EM "light" interaction.

Key #2 is balance. Everythingalways exists in a perfect balance.

Key #3 is self-interaction. Everyaction has a corresponding oppositeinteraction that maintains perfectbalance in awareness.

Key #4 is will. You createeverything with your will by decidingwith various levels of intensity.

Key #5 is awareness. You witness asa detached observer all that you createas your creations.

A Personal Mission in Life

An additional, but optional, aspect ofenlightenment is the discovery (orchoice) of a "mission" in life. Amission (as I use the term here) isdifferent from a goal in that a goal canbe fulfilled, but a mission is anendlessly expanding project that canfascinate the attention so much that itinspires conscious attention tocontinue exploring and evolving themission game plan over many organiclife times and gives rise to the notionof an avatar as a being capable ofmaintaining conscious awareness ofthe mission plan within an eternallight bubble despite any sort of phasetransitions that may occur to theperson's chosen embodiments.

Einstein's Relativity "Absolutivity"

Light has many peculiar properties.One is that it appears to travel at aconstant velocity relative to anyobserver. Once this was confirmedexperimentally, Einstein made it thecornerstone of his famous "Theory ofRelativity". People spoke of"relativity" because of the strangeeffects on space and time that occur asa result of a constant light speed c ofapproximately 300,000,000 metersper second (c = 3x108 m/s). Sincethe theory is based on an absolute anduniversal constant, that meansEinstein's theory is really "absolute"and not relative. In our newenlightened age we can appreciate thistruth.

Absolute Time is Eternal

According to Einstein's theory, thefaster something moves, the slower itsclock goes. At the speed of light theobject's clock stops.

Einstein rightly claimed that nophysical object can travel at or fasterthan light speed. However, since weperceive only via the light (EM)interaction, that means our "clock"never moves and we live in eternity.Light traveling from distant stars doesnot slow down or grow old. Thuslight is immortal. As light beings weare immortal. All our experience islight self-interacting at light speedwhich is not really any motion at allbecause our light speed clock is still.

Why is Light Speed Not Motion?

Our notions of space and time derivefrom a viewpoint that identifies with acomplex group of light waves thatappears to travel slower than light(STL). The actual perceptioninteraction takes place at the speed oflight (SOL). Physicists often callthat the "natural" velocity and give itthe value of 1. STL speeds are lessthan 1, and faster-than-light (FTL)speeds are greater than 1. There isno 0 speed, because every objectmoves and vibrates relative toeverything else. However, at SOLthe clock stops, so we can say that anyobject moving at SOL seems to movefrom our STL perspective, butactually never moves relative to itself.

The End of the Mayan Long Count

Recently there was a lot of talk aboutthe "end" of the Mayan calendar.This idea did not refer to the 260-daySacred Tsolkin Calendar thatcontinues forever in endless rotations.What has "ended" is the so-called"Long Count" that tracks cycles ofextended eras.

Each era has a certain quality, and themeaning of the "end" is not that theEarth is destroyed or that things stophappening. What it means is thathuman consciousness shifts into amode in which awareness of theeternal, non-changing aspect of lifebegins to dominate civilization in apractical and scientific way.

Have you ever traveled on a subwayline where each station has a map ofthe whole subway system with acolored star marked "You Are Here"at the station you have reached?

Pay attention to your own lifeexperience. You will notice thatwherever you seem to go, wheneveryou pay attention to your location,you find that "You Are Here."Here is wherever you happen to be atany moment. As we shall see, thenotion of actually going somewhere isan illusion caused by theself-interaction of light. Whereveryou go, your embodiment will be inyour "light bubble".

The remarkable thing about the lightbubble is that you create it everymoment instantly and project itoutward as a bubble of "reality" thatyou cleverly pretend has a life of itsown in which you may participate.

The truth is that you are responsiblefor creating the light bubble andeverything in it. It is a fantasticentertainment device filled withendless fascinating possibilities.

People speak of a "universe" and thewonders of "unity consciousness"while actually resisting the lonelinesssuch an idea implies. The longing tobe loved is a great misperception.

Love and Responsibility

The desire to be loved and appreciatedis a big mistake. You create yourown universe, so if it does not loveyou, who are you going to blame?

If you create beings with the freedomto exist on their own and self-awarebeings with free will, you get aninteresting universe, but not one inwhich you can expect everyone toagree with you, like you, or evenrespect you.

As the creator of your universe itmakes sense to love and appreciateyour own creations, but if you choosenot to make sense, then you still haveto take responsibility for the nonsense.

If you pay attention, you soondiscover that your light bubble ispopulated with many other people,other non-human animate beings, andlots of "inanimate" objects.

These "denizens" who share your lightbubble may seem to come and gowithin the range of your attention.You have partial control over thecondition and contents of your bubble,but so do the denizens who share thespace.

Can You Leave the Light Bubble?

Yes. You step out of the light bubblein several ways. One common wayis via deep sleep. During deep sleepyou relax and turn off your sensoryperception. Attention loses focusand expands until you are not awareof anything.

A second way is by dying. Whenyou drop the physical body that youuse for playing in your light bubble,you slip out of the light bubble for atleast a moment.

A third way is through deepmeditation. During meditation yourattention gets very subtle and may slipbeyond the bubble of perception.

Your light bubble extends in everydirection through every sensorymodality as far as your attention canconceive of anything.

These beliefs may be manifestas experiences or just as subtlethoughts and feelings, memories ordreams, depending on your intensityof belief. In effect your light bubbleincludes everything that youconsciously or unconsciously consideras part of your universe or panoply ofuniverses.

Second, you have a will that candecide. You choose by your willfrom options and collapse awarenessfrom all possibilities down to a singlechoice or a subset of all possibilities.

The Ancient Chinese World View

The ancient Chinese called awarenessyin. It is passive and simply exists.It is intelligent, because it experiencescreations in a structured and orderlyway. It is receptive to experiencingany possible creation.

The ancient Chinese called creativityyang. It is dynamic and resists thestatus quo, so it generates change.Change can only be experienced interms of what already exists.Therefore yin and yang play togetherendlessly. The Chinese symbolizedthis as a dragon playing with a ball oflight. The dragon is creative yang ofthe will, and the ball of light is the yin

awareness that experiences creations.

How Does Aware Will Function?

Awareness is undefined. Willdefines awareness and transforms itinto consciousness. Consciousnessconsists of a flow of thoughts directedby the attention. Attention can bedirected deliberately by the will or viaconscious or unconscious habits.Experience for yourself with thefollowing (based on an exercise byHarry Palmer in ReSurfacing, p. 40).Pause a moment from what you aredoing. Then deliberately decide to dosomething simple. Then do it for afew moments. Then stop what you aredoing and decide to do something else.Then do your second choice for a fewmoments. Then stop the exercise andanswer the following questions.

Let's Examine What Happened

Did you do the exercise? Did youmake the two decisions. Did you dowhat you decided to do?

During the pause before you madeeach decision you were aware and youfaced a huge selection of possiblechoices. Each time you made achoice, you narrowed the optionsfrom countless many down to one.You gave up the freedom of all theoptions and accepted the limitation ofdoing only one thing.

Choosing from "Free" Will is astrange trade-off. You destroy yourown unlimited free choices and obtainin return one real tangible experience.

The Nature of Undefined Awareness

Undefined awareness is your neutralgear. Feel what it is like during thepause before you decide what you aregoing to do next. You are floating in astate resembling undefined awareness,but still slightly defined by the rulesof the exercise or any otherresponsibilities you have. There aremany options, but none are very clear.

Once you make your decision withyour will, the field of optionscollapses into a task that you giveyourself. When you perform thattask, you experience specifically andconcretely what you set out to do,possibly with some distractions orsetbacks along the way.

The Range of Experience

From this simple experiment wediscover that there is a range ofexperience from the precise event offulfilling an intention to a vague realmfilled with endless possibilities, all orsome of which remain intangible.

In between is the world of habit inwhich our awareness flows like a riverof consciousness along an automatedroute that contains perhaps a varietyof experiences, none of which isremarkable. The value of habit isthat it provides a sense of security andnormalcy. The down side of habitsis that they inhibit growth -- unlessthe habit is to explore and experimentin the unknown.

Habit and the Will

Habit is a brilliant invention. Itallows us to automate any creativeactivity of will to the point that it doesnot require any appreciable consciousmental application of the will.

Our deepest level of habits includesthe instincts that keep us alive andhealthy in our physical bodies. Anindividual may also develop habits tothe level of masterful skills that seemeffortless wonders to those who havenot witnessed the cultivation requiredto achieve mastery of the habitualperformance. On the other hand,habits hold our will back with routine,and they may blind us to new dangersor new opportunities.

How to Erase or Rewire a Habit

If a habit becomes a problem -- suchas an addiction or an inappropriateresponse, it may be time to erase it orrewire it.

The first step is to bring it toconscious awareness by deliberatelyperforming actions that will triggerthe automated habit. It helpssometimes to have a coach observeyour actions if you are not aware ofthem yourself. You have to coachyourself for habitual thought patterns.

Once you identify an unconsciousresponse, mimic it deliberatelywithout actually doing any negativeaction that it might involve.

Why Consciously Mimic a Habit?

The reason for consciously mimickinga habit is to bring it into the consciousdomain of deliberate action. Onceyou do that, you can deliberatelydecide whether or not to do it again.

If you decide to give yourself totalfreedom, you can do anything youwant and habits are not an issue.

By limiting your freedom with thewill and deliberately mimicking habitsand unintended results, you gain totalcontrol over your reality. Thetrade-off is that you must accept thelimitation on your freedom bymimicking things you prefer not toexperience until you master them.

The Awareness Trade-off

On the other hand, you may shift intopure observation and experienceundefined awareness. In that caseyou end up having to relax intoacceptance of all your wonderfulage-old habits, or you end up withnothing at all specific -- just anendless bunch of virtual possibilities.

Nevertheless, the aware will is yourultimate nature. It has no specificcontent, but can play with infinitepossibilities and evolve throughunlimited experiences. Mastery ofthe aware will (also known as creativeintelligence) fully empowers a personand is fully available to every sentientbeing. Create and experience what is.

The Illusion of Big and Small

No creation has any definite size (orimportance). We discover size bycomparing objects and by takingcertain viewpoints to perceive objects.When we have habitual viewpoints,we begin to believe that things havecertain fixed sizes (and importances).

Motion is a way of adjusting theperceived relative size of objects.Moving closer to an object makes itseem larger. Moving away from anobject makes it seem smaller.Observe objects you habitually thinkof as big or small. Adjust yourdistance for viewing the objects todrastically change their sizes (orimportances).

Viewpoint Shifting and Energy

It takes almost no effort to change aviewpoint mentally.

However, if you change viewpoint bychanging the location of your physicalbody relative to an object ofperception, the amount of energyinvolved depends on the technologythat you use.

Einstein says that no object or datacan go faster than light because toomuch acceleration energy would berequired. That "rule" effectivelyimprisons us within a very localcorner of the universe. However,Einstein's assertion contains hiddenassumptions we can work around.

How to Go Faster Than Light

Our physical bodies move slower thanlight (STL). However, ourperceptions move at the speed of light(SOL) within the light bubble as wehave just shown.

Einstein's equations combined with deBroglie's extensions that include thevibratory nature of matter tell us thatfaster-than-light (FTL) motion andcommunication is inherent in physicaltheory because of the assumedconstancy of the speed of light.

Here is the formula: (vg) (vp) = c2. Inthe formula c is the constant of lightspeed, vg is the velocity of an object,and vp is a related FTL phase velocity.

Popcorn Time © Douglass A. White, 2013 140414v 66

What Does This Equation Mean?

The equation is simple algebra inwhich c is a constant velocity andthere are two variable velocities, onefor the object, and another for its"phase wave" cluster. The motions ofmaterial objects are always STL.Thus the corresponding "phase wave"velocity must be FTL. It also mustcontain the same information that theslower object contains. Also, if theobject slows down to become nearlymotionless, then its phase velocitybecomes super FTL and mayencompass the universe in a moment.

(1/500)(500/1) = 12. [Set c = 1]It appears that superluminal (FTL)communications and transportationare possible after all.

So How Do We Go FTL?

Simple observation demonstrates howit is done. We have not unfolded allthe technology that is possible, buthere is an example. When you stopmoving your body around on Earth,you identify with the next largestmoving object to which you areconnected -- e.g. Planet Earth, that ismoving rapidly around the sun andwith the sun around our galaxy. Theslower you go as a body, the fasteryou go as a phase relation. FurtherFTL principles require that you shiftfrom serial to parallel processing ofinformation, shift your viewpoint by90 degrees, and expand yourperspective to embrace an entirecommunication channel.

A man skis rapidly down a mountain slope at 80kph. A man standing still on Planet Earth movesat Earth's speed (about 108,000 kph). The sunmoves in the galaxy at about 782,000 kph, stillwell below SOL. (Add 1000 for Earth rotation.)

A saucer spinning fast on its rim stands tall at90° to the table top and touches the table at onetangent point. As its physical spin slows, itbegins to fall and shifts its momentum into aphase wave rolling between rim and table top.As the saucer spin slows, the phase waveamplitude drops, but the phase wave acceleratesuntil it breaks light speed. Then with a plop ithits silent "infinity". The physical plate comes torest and the rim touches the table at all pointssimultaneously. Try it and listen.

How to View the world FTL

Stand by a city street and watch carsgo by. This is serial processing. Yousee cars go by one at a time, clearlymuch slower than the speed of light.

Now go up to a high floor in abuilding along the street and lookdown on the entire length of the street.From that viewpoint you process theinformation on the street in parallel.The information reaches your eyes atSOL, but in one glance you see all thecars on the street and can even get agood estimate of how many there are.This is FTL communication. It isextremely commonplace and no bigdeal. To reach distant galaxies wesimply upgrade the technology.

Open up a text file on your computer.Type a period. Then place the cursorin front of the period and hit space barmultiple times to move the period.You will see the period move with ajerky motion across your screen.This is STL motion.

Now move the cursor to the leftmargin. Press the period key and holdit down. This will produce a fasterSTL row of periods across the screen:.............................................................The row of dots forms a line. A lineis a dot moving FTL. Actually it isstill STL because of the refresh rate ofthe screen. Print out the row of dotsand it becomes truly FTL.

Temporal and Spatial Motions

In our universe light speed (SOL) isthe standard for stillness, a state of"no" motion (i.e., no time). Twoother types of motion occur: temporaland spatial. Temporal motion is STL.Spatial motion is FTL. Puretemporal motion means that an objectdoes not change location in space, butmoves only through time. Purespatial motion means that an objectdoes not change location in time, butmoves only through space. In thatcase it seems to exist simultaneouslyin multiple locations. Physicistsexplain the way STL and FTLmotions differ from SOL with alight-cone (or light-cross) diagram.Rotate the cross to see the cone.

Thatis FTL transmission. Crystals areFTL devices. All electrons look thesame so there probably is only oneelectron in the universe that movesabout at FTL. FTL transportationinvolves an object (potentially aperson) disappearing from onelocation and simultaneously appearingin another location (even light-yearsdistant). Bilocation is a subset of themulti-location principle. Massproduced identical objects present acrude form of FTL phenomenon.

Your Light Bubble Stays Put

All motion or exchange ofinformation takes place within thelight bubble. The light bubble nevermoves relative to itself.

We are not the light bubble, althoughwe can identify with it or assume therole of an avatar and play within it.The light bubble never moves relativeto the real SELF which istranscendental to the light bubble andis its creator. Thus motion andcommunication are simply a matter ofdeliberately managing attention withrespect to aspects of the light bubble.You can know or do anything you likewithin your bubble and the bubblealways stays put.

What is an Avatar?

An avatar is a physical, mental,spiritual, or other-dimensionalembodiment of an enlightened beingthat plays a role within the being'sown light bubble drama, and perhapsalso appears in the light bubbles ofother beings. Such a role is usuallyfor the purpose of exemplifying theenlightened perspective in some wayfor those beings in certain lightbubbles that have chosen to ignore thereality of their enlightened perspectiveand instead choose to follow a path ofself-limitation, conflict, and needlessidentification with suffering. Someavatars assume embodiments purelyfor the purpose of playing in theirown bubbles and/or those of others.

The Big But

Once we see clearly our relationshipto light bubbles, we have completeaccess to any information and anylocation within the light bubbles.The details are merely technical.

But, the big hitch is that the bubble isyour own unitary creation. You aretherefore totally responsible forwhatever you do with your lightbubble. You will have to witness andexperience whatever results youimpose on it.

You are God/Buddha/Whatever, butso is everyone else in your lightbubble by virtue of the enlightenedviewpoint. So it's no big deal.

Why Do We Have Others?

We have others because we createdthem. We created them because ofthe inherent loneliness of the unitythat is enlightenment. The entitieswe create in our universe can onlyreflect our own level of consciousness.As our level of consciousness grows,we become more aware of the higherconsciousness in others. From theenlightened perspective all beings areenlightened and immortal and alwayshave been. The cosmos existseternally in peace and harmony asbeings evolve and play with theircreations.

Where Does Gravity Come From?

Gravity has resisted the researches ofscientists, but is really not so difficultto understand. All physical lawsinvolve resistance rather thanattraction. So where does gravity's"attractive force" come from? Theuniverse begins with a resistance toloneliness. We objectify awarenessas light and imagine it to be separatefrom us. This creates our ball orbubble of light. To experience thelight requires a number of additionaltwists that generate the 3D EMinteraction (electric, magnetic, andquarking of antimatter). The "gravity"resistance is global, but, as the EMinteraction sets in, attention localizesand the global resistance relaxes.

The Big Rebound

Once attention becomes fixated onlocal developments, the globalloneliness gets forgotten and theglobal resistance relaxes. Then allphenomena start to collapse from theprimal push-away expansion back intothe void black hole of the universe. Toget a feel for this, simply expand yourattention until it encompasses theuniverse and even goes far beyonduntil the universe becomes a tinyspeck. From this unitary perspectivethere is no gravity. It takes two ormore to "gravitate". Experience it.Space is an EM phenomenon. Likecharges repel, and unlike chargescancel the space between particles,giving the feel of EM attraction.

Space-Time is Filled with Energy

What appears to be empty space isactually packed with energy that issometimes called zero-point energybecause its phenomenal aspect cancelsout. If you push hard against asturdy wall, you seem not to move,but still can expend a lot of energy.

The energy of the vacuum state is the"aether" medium through which EMenergy propagates at a fixed speed.If the emitting and absorbing particlesmove at various slower-than-light(STL) speeds, the interacting EMenergy shifts frequency to compensate-- which means that the EM energyshifts up or down to match the energygained or lost in particle motion.

Creating Universes

Each individual being from his, her,or its viewpoint creates a universe.There are many universes similar toours and many that are very different.

Each universe has in common a smallset of physical and geometricalconstants that provide stability to theuniverse. Each constant is a relationof two or more qualities that form thefundamental properties of the givenuniverse: e.g., length (L), time (T),and mass (M). For example, velocityis L/T, and energy is M (L/T)2; π isLC/LD, (where C is circumference andD is diameter). Then we choose unitssuch as meters, seconds, andkilograms to measure quantities.

Overlapping Universes

We create beings like us with awarewill because that is much moreinteresting than a universe of lifelessand unresponsive particles or rocks.

However, this means that beingsexercise their wills and have a varietyof viewpoints simply due to theirrelative positions within your lightbubble. The challenge is to negotiatea harmonious coexistence with thesebeings that benefits all.

Each being has its own viewpoint andits own light bubble, and the bubblescan overlap so that you are in theiruniverses and they are in yours -- ifyou believe they have universes.

Enlightened Universes

Beings in a universe reflect the levelof consciousness of the viewpoint thatcreates the universe. From theviewpoint of an enlightened creator,all beings in that creator's universe areby definition enlightened, whetherthey know it consciously or not.Since enlightenment encompasses allpossible universes, a priori alluniverses are "enlightened" even ifthey are not based on the EM lightinteraction because the ability tocreate a stable universe assumes bydefinition a state of enlightenmentthat is eternal and immortal. Theexperience of such universes simplymay not involve EM light interactionsbut some other constants instead.

How Does God Fit In?

Do you believe in God? If you do,then you have imagined into reality aprojection of your own secret identity.If you are a missionary, then you wantto convince all the identities youcreated that your secret identity is thebest of all. This is a funny and subtlegame, because you created all thoseidentities. Maybe you created thatsomeone converted you to believe inGod. The missionary and his convertare all part of the divine humble game,a gigantic pretense intended togenerate an astonishingly complexobfuscation of your true secretidentity that somehow never reallyconvinces any of the players in thegame that you created before all.

What Do the Enlightened Do?

Some believe that the enlightened livein service to society, but there is noreason why this should be so.Throughout history some enlightenedones have shared their experiencesand often religions arose around theirteachings. This usually degeneratedquickly into a cult of the personalityor codified ways of life and discipline,all of which took people further awayfrom their inherent enlightenment.

Attempts by groups to createenlightened societies founder on therocks of the reality that enlightenmenthas nothing to do with a way of life,belief, or a "spiritual" practice. Tothe enlightened all are enlightened.

Enlightened Planetary Civilizations

Nevertheless, it is still possible tocreate enlightened planetarycivilizations (EPC) with theunderstanding that all participants,whatever their mode of life areenlightened and treated as such.Since all physical, mental, andspiritual creations are limited in time,space, and other dimensions within alight bubble, no EPC (EGC, or EIGC-- galactic or intergalactic) ispermanent -- including even anenlightened cosmic civilization (ECC).These are temporary approximationsto an ideal that exists only as a realityfrom the viewpoint of the fullyenlightened aware will and needs nomaking or doing.

The Paradox of the Enlightened

Each enlightened being is omnipotentand omniscient -- although notnecessarily exercising such powersopenly through a certain avatarembodiment at a certain time or place.

Each enlightened being has totallyfree will to act deliberately from thestate of undefined awareness.

There exists an inherent potential forconflict between or among differingenlightened viewpoints. Conflictamong omnipotent beings is an insanegame, since no player can win. Theonly sane solution to this paradox isfor all to win, each player obtainingwhat he, she, or it prefers.

Planning Ahead

We can remotely view times andplaces. However, the farther welook into the future, the less detail wecan see regarding the big picture.Nevertheless it makes sense to planahead to a certain extent, if you wishto bother with time. Some culturesbelieve in acting with attention onconsequences for seven generations.I tend to prefer at least seven milliongenerations. Given 25 years for ahuman generation, that roughlymatches the era in which dinosaursruled our planet. Our known era ofcivilization is a mere 6000 years. Ifwe wish to pursue "advanced"civilization long term, then we mustplan for true sustainability.

A Plan for a Planet

A sustainable civilization must live inharmony with its environment andleave a mostly self-dissolvingfootprint on the planet, except perhapsfor a few special "permanent"monuments. There are five majorcomponents to a plan for sustainablecivilization on a large scale.

The Personal Development Plan1. If the population is self aware, itmust be consciously enlightened.This is the basis in awareness fordesigning a civilization.2. The population must be skilled inmanaging its belief systems, includingthe setting of priorities, commitment,action, and follow through.

The Social Component

3. The population must have holisticsocial skills and protocols for sexualrelations (if they reproduce sexually)that allow for peaceful coexistence, astable economy, and respect forindividual rights.

A reasonable social structure isnecessary to ensure that eachsucceeding generation receives thelove, care, and attention that leads to abalanced emotional and social life.

Negotiations between various parties(whether individuals, organizations,communities, nations, and species)should lead to win-win outcomes.

Money and Society

Money is a convenient socialconvention by which people agree ontokens or records for measuringperceived values traded in paymentfor information, resources, products,services, debts, and so on. ChrisMartenson refines this definition to "aclaim on human labor". The labormay be spiritual, mental, or physical,may take place in the past, present, orfuture, and may involve any degree ofdifficulty or complexity. Money ishandy, but is always subject to the riskof unforeseen events that changeperceived values. Most money todayis fiat notes with a governmentdeclared value but lacking intrinsiccommodity value.

Value as the Basis for a Currency

In a given economy any product orservice has a basic "cost" in terms ofhuman labor. The "price" in themarket must at least cover the "cost".Any extra price above cost isgoverned by the market. Aconventional currency is used tomeasure prices in transactions. Thetotal cultural heritage of the societysets the true underlying value of thecurrency and includes its tools,processes, skills, knowledge, wisdom,and quality of life. This heritagebelongs to all people to share, enjoy,and expand with new contributions.Since all are enlightened, each personmust decide what quality of life ispreferable for individual and society.

Stable and Balanced Finances

The United States and quite a fewother nations have greatly unbalancedfinancial economies. Most of thewealth has shifted into the hands of asmall minority of the population. Alarge percentage of the populationlives on the brink of or deeply inpoverty. The government is essentiallybankrupt and has acquired debts thatwill take generations to pay off unlessspecial measures are taken.Otherwise (periodic) economiccollapse in which the money loses itsvalue is a strong likelihood. The USis by far the largest debtor nation inthe world, but none of this isnecessary if the people simply wakeup and take the proper steps.

Example of a $25-Trillion Plan

The US currently has about $17trillion in national debt on the books,but the real debt is much greater.

If the wealthiest 5% individuals andcorporations invest (not as a tax)$500k to $1.5 million per entity to payoff the national debt, up to $25 trillioncould be raised in a single day. Thiswould ensure that the dollar remainsthe global reserve currency, wouldrestore confidence in the US economy,and would bring special tax benefitsto the individuals and corporationsthat made the investments, allowingthem to increase their assets. Thepayoff would be marked withNational Debt Freedom Day.

Or Is There Really Debt?

Another way of looking at it is to saythat the U.S. debt is owed to peoplefor whom it is an asset. The U.S. isa sovereign nation and can issue fiatcurrency as it pleases, spending it oninfrastructure, R&D, education, healthcare, space exploration, and so on --creating value, employment, and cashin the hands of people to buy whatthey need. Full employment andvalue creation grows the economywithout inflation and the wealth is inthe hands of the people. U.S. tradedeficits mean foreigners hold U.S.dollars that they must ultimatelyspend in the U.S. economy to get theirvalue back in terms of goods andservices. No problem: just do it.

Steps to Ensure Continued Success

The "national debt" is not asimportant as the distribution of wealth.Measures are necessary to equalize it.

1. Tax reform is needed to ensure thatlow income people are not(over)taxed and that the wealthy whodo not invest in the "debt payoff" paytheir fair share. However, the wealthywho do invest get special tax breaksto expand their business interests andare celebrated as national heroes.2. Budgetary reform is needed toensure that investment funds are usedfor maximum benefit of the citizenry.Let taxpayers vote most of the budgetwhen they submit tax returns, notcongress or vested interests.

The US still has many trillions inhidden "debt". Some estimates ofthe total public and hidden debt (i.e.assets) are as high as $50-60 trillion.

However, the US has a vast repositoryof advanced classified technology --hidden assets that could be adaptedrapidly to civilian applications forsolving many problems in the energyand materials sectors.

The US also provides military andsecurity assistance to many countriesaround the world and could properlycharge much more than it does forthese services in the form of foreignexchange or trade credits.

Conclusions

We stand at the threshold of a new erain which a literate and fairly welleducated populace with access toglobal communications andtransportation can shift their worldview almost instantaneously into astate of enlightenment. In that state,they will gain amazing efficiency.They will discover that they areeternal, immortal light beings able toshape shift endlessly. They willdiscover that it is not necessary to runaround madly chasing busy-ness.Enlightenment brings a sense ofglobal stability and non-changetogether with the ability to transformthe quality of life and achieve anintergalactic harmonious civilization.

The coalescenceof these two polarities lies in anundefined awareness wherein allpossible designer realities andjust-as-it-is realities coexist virtually.The role of doubt is to inspireelimination of any variances betweenour beliefs and our realities orbetween our realities and our beliefs.

Experiment and Experience

The problem with experimentalexperience is that, due to its inherentlocal nature, it can never prove anyglobal belief-theory. The problemwith logic is that it is an arbitraryself-consistent mental system with nonecessary connection to realexperience. In quantum mechanicsexperimental evidence is governed bystatistical probability, which meansthat it is theoretically possible to"filter" any system so as to skew itsprobabilities toward any desiredreality -- leading to designer realities.Or one can simply let the probabilitiesfall as they may and take reality as itis as your reality, certain they will fall,but not knowing finally how or why.

The Certainty of Uncertainty

There is a fundamental uncertainty atthe quantum level of reality. We cannot determine the precise position andvelocity of a quantum particle at thesame time. Measuring the positionchanges the velocity, and measuringthe velocity blurs the position. We canbe certain about uncertainty in suchcases, but can still measure onecomponent as precisely as ourinstrumentation permits.

(Δx)(Δv) ≥ h/mIn this equation x is position, v isvelocity, h/m is the constant ratio ofPlanck's constant to the rest mass ofthe particle. Delta (Δ) means a range.Uncertainty recalls the Einstein/deBroglie relation we discussed earlier.

A Strangely Uncertain Example

An atom of hydrogen consists of aproton with an electron in orbitaround it. Because of the quantumscale, if we try to find the preciseposition of the electron in the atom ata certain moment, then its velocityaccelerates to the FTL range. On theother hand, if we try to determine theprecise velocity of the electron at agiven moment, its position becomesvague as if it is a cloud ofquasi-electrons distributed all aroundthe proton. All we end up with is arange of probabilities, so scientiststreat the electron as if it forms a"stationary" probability shell aroundthe proton. The electron iseverywhere with some probability.

Probability Management

In the quantum world all is probability.Enlightened science will focus on themanagement of probability. Youridentity is a cloud of virtual "yous"that exist everywhere, everywhen, andunder every condition. Therefore theproper method of "transportation"simply consists of manipulating yourmaximum location probability tomatch where you prefer to be. Thesame is true for health, wealth,relationships, knowledge, and anyother quality of life that a personplaces any value on. Depending onyour skill in action the "manipulation"of probability may be complex orvirtually effortless -- taking no moreenergy than it takes to think a thought.

The Math for the Velocity EquationEinstein discovered the relationship among mass, energy, and light speed: E = m c², alongwith the quantum (particle) wave nature of light (E = hf = hc/λ), where E is energy, h isPlanck's constant, f is frequency, λ is wavelength, and c is light speed.

Louis de Broglie extended the idea to describe the wave nature of particles, finding, forexample, that the electron has a characteristic wavelength (λe) that relates to itsmomentum: λe = h/p, where h is Planck's constant and p is the particle's momentum (masstimes velocity).

E = pc = hc / λ.mγ c² = hc / λγ, where mγ is the virtual mass of a light particle (photon).mγ c λγ = h.λγ = h / mγ c.

The insight of de Broglie was that you could then take the mass of a particle such as anelectron me and plug it into the relationship. The wavelength of the particle would bePlanck's constant divided by the particle's mass times its velocity.

λe = h / me ve, where the subscripts now represent electron properties, and ve is thevelocity of the electron.

The problem with these ideas is that the mass and energy of a particle are abstractproperties. Only properties like length, velocity, and constants such as c aremeasurable by observation. So we re-interpret the relationship in terms of velocityalone, starting with the velocity of the particle (ve), which we now call the "groupvelocity" (vg) since it is composed of a bundle of interacting waves that always movealong as a totality at less than the speed of light and give the impression of a particle withmass.

vg = h / mg λg.

The phase velocity of light is (vp) = c = λγ fγ, which is the photon's wavelength times itsfrequency. So the phase velocity associated with an electron would be vpe = λe fe and ingeneral vp = λg fg, the phase velocity (vp) that corresponds to a particle's group velocity(vg). E = h f, and hence Eg = h fg. Substitute (h fg / c²) for the particle's mass mg andcancel out the h's.

vg = (h / λg)(c² / hfg) = c²/vp.

vg vp = c².

This reciprocal relation is what I call the Einstein/de Broglie Velocity Equation.
