    It is not in the stars
    that our troubles arise,
    my dear reader,
    but in our telescopes.

    Color is a function of the human visual system, and is not an intrinsic property. Objects don't "have" color, they give off light that "appears" to be a color. Spectral power distributions exist in the physical world, but color exists only in the mind of the beholder.



    What color is this dress?

    The limits of identity provide a universally practical principle for getting what you want out of life -- especially if you have to get what you want out of other people. To wit, it is impossible to change anyone's mind except by nicely graduated argument that slowly turns the other's point of view to your direction; if you argue too strongly, you only provoke rage, denial, and repression of everything you say. The TAO teaches that the battle does not go to the strong, nor the race to the swift, but to the gentle and the patient; this is the true meaning of Jesus' promise that the meek will inherit the Earth. Beggars, flatterers, and cheaters take more than workers, racers, and robbers.

    Why not?

    We'll get to that eventually.

    The science of physics is actually the physics of perception. Your mind is a house of many mansions. Most people never see the doors in the walls of their nurseries; they spend their entire spiritual lives confined in the crib where they were born, while they can only wonder about the sounds of family activity that transpire dimly into their windowless compartments. In these posts, you will read the construction plans of your spiritual palace. Once you realize that the barriers limiting your experience are merely partitions, you will open the doors of your mind to explore the manifold halls of self-knowledge. You may even leave your father's house to make your way as a grown person in the big hyperworld outside. Of course, it is dangerous out there, and not all who venture return sound and successful, but that is what real life is all about when play school is left behind. The physics of consciousness is what this thread is all about.

    At least four dimensions of space are required to fuse several three-dimensional structures into a single identity in the same place at the same time. The most highly respected scientific authorities aver that it is impossible for any human intellect to visualize space extending in more than three dimensions. Nevertheless, your mind reveals the mathematical parameters of four-dimensional hyperspace every time you fuse more than one three-dimensional image into a gestalt. Look at that, would you; like the atom, the inner space of your mind is hyper! Hyperspace is as familiar to you as your own mental concepts. How 'bout that, Dr. Einstein?

    At the bottom line, intereference produces a pair of predominant patterns separated by 180o of phase. As a result, reality is perceived to be polarized between good and evil, black and white, strong and weak, male and female, etc.

    Union of complementary opposites transforms them both into a structure of higher dimension. The degree to which you can resolve polar opposites establishes the dimensional scope of your Consciousness. An understanding of hyperspace enables you to answer problems that defy all philosophers limited to three-dimensional concepts.

    On the atomic scale, hyperspacial rotations occur at such speed that transition phases between extreme views cannot be resolved within the temporal precision of the experiment. The wave-particle dichotomy is refractory to scientific comprehension not only because an electron flips between its two phases faster than the instruments can follow, but also because both wave packets and particles are three-dimensional concepts. Mentally unable to comprehend ultratridimensional entities, physicists identify different projections of one subatomic particle as several new discoveries, and that is why there is no end to the number of elementary particles.

    THE mind is able to fuse two visual images only when there is practically no difference between them. Fusion of visual images into a stereo gestalt becomes impossible if the two perspectives differ by more than the interocular distance. In other words, there is a limit to the amount of difference that can be resolved without producing an identity crisis

    To illustrate, if your views of a cone were limited to the extremes of plan and elevation, only extraordinary conditions and mathematical calculation would enable you to realize that the two mutually incommensurable figures were aspects of the same identity in a higher dimension of space. Ordinarily, you are able to relate one extreme view to the other extreme by innumerable other viewing angles revealing the gradual transformation of the circle into the triangle. Even after identifying the circle as an allotropic aspect of the triangle, you would still be unable to form the concept of a solid cone unless your mental space were large enough to comprehend three dimensions; you would believe that the conical structure alternates between a circle and a triangle according to the viewing angle; it would be the wave-particle paradox all over again.

    Since God is an Entity of utmost dimensional extent, no man can look at a complete image of It in this lifetime and that is the reason for the religious prohibition against graven images. In order to preclude any manifestation of The God That Is All That Is from being worshipped as the One Big I, The First Commandment is engraved, "Thou shalt not hold any god before Me." Anything less than God is the very devil, and the devil grows more diabolical as it grows more Godly; the devil is the Brightest Angel of them all.

    The worship of anything less than God, no matter how Godly, is Satanism; the good people of this world are far more dangerous than the bad. You see, the only difference between bad people and good people is that bad people say that all wars are good, whereas good people say that some wars are good; both sides agree that no war is bad unless it is lost. As the child prays, "Dear God, please make all the bad people good and the good people nice."

    Colour doesn't exist - at least not in the literal sense. Light, however, does exist, and it's the mind that transforms that light into colour. In this image the two squares appear to be a different colour, but if you place your finger across the middle of the blocks you can see they are the same colour.

    The confusion prodiced by the Necker cube is due to seeing the inside and the outside of a box at the same time. When seen as a plane image, a transparent cube presents a different structure from every point of view, and except when seen in a plan or elevation, no aspect resembles the shape of an opaque box. This is an object lesson in the difference between the structure of an entity in hyperspace and the form it presents in a lower dimensional space.

    You just don't get it Lanny.

    … light waves exist, but light waves have no color. A rainbow is a arch of colors. It exists only in our head.

    Colours only exist in your head.

    The soft sciences are not soft by their very nature, but because soft ideas attract people incapable of comprehending hard, mathematical concepts, and once soft-heads populate a profession, hard-heads move out of the neighborhood. As a consequence, the soft sciences degenerate into nonsense until they become too impractical to hold their customers. If astrology were not so soft-headed, actuaries would be calculating horoscopes instead of statistics.

    The essential difference between the hard-head and the soft- head is concentration of mental focus. Whereas the hard-head defines particulars, the soft-head senses the overview. Both heads are half-wits if they cannot vary the scope of their focus to integrate particulars with wholes to comprehend both at once in a higher dimension of Consciousness.

    If Freud studied physics before medicine, he wouldn't have invented a square wheel in his theory of sexual determinism. Psychology and psychiatry would be radically different if a grounding in elementary physics were prerequisite. These professions will soon be demolished and reconstructed by the hard science of artificial intelligence.

    If your mind is unable to fuse plural images, the brain is confused,
    and all images but one are erased from your visual Consciousness.
    The eye transmitting the voided image loses its functional capacity.
    It may be speculated that other sense organs also lose their function
    when their information is voided.

    The Latin mind has no imprinted concept of the English SCHWA sound. Without the mental concept, the Latin ear cannot distinguish between his and hees. The sound of big activates the concept of beeg, and beeg is what the Latin mind hears. Likewise, the Japanese mind has no imprint for the ell sound; in the Japanese mind, the elle sound is heard as arr.

    Male and female mentalities are imprinted with different concepts making it physically impossible for the opposite sex to receive the same message that is sent. Communication between sexes is like communication between different species. No matter how many times arguments are settled, the very next argument is the very same argument. Acquiescence is not agreement, but resignation and tolerance of the incomprehensible.

    Unable to conceive that pleasure and pain can come from the same parent, infants perceive a good true-parent and a wicked step- parent. Most people still cannot identify God with the devil, nor can they perceive that Heaven and hell are complementary aspects of one real world.
