The experience of the ONENESS
of ‘the ALL’ The natural1 philosophers
of ancient India who presented their fantasies about ‘the all’2
and its emergence in the Upanishads some 2800 years ago were right smart3
observers. They observed that ONE (i.e. 1), that
is to say, a ‘ONE without a Second’, hence any quantum, is perfect because
complete, because certain.4,5 So they called ‘the ONE without a
Second’ Brahman/God.6 And then they reasoned that there had to be
2 ONES. First there was the (i.e. any) actual ONE7 they
observed/experienced and that emerged via contact as undeniable realness8
in time and form.9 And then they inferred/fantasized that there
had to be a virtual ONE and which supposedly ‘waited’ prior to contact and
therefore prior to time and form and realness.10 Since that particular bunch of Indians
were set on escaping ‘this horrid universe,’ to wit, Samsara, they set about
figuring out how oneness with11 the quality free ONE, i.e. the
nirguna Brahman could be achieved. And the solution was quite simple, easy
for natural yogis12 but fiendishly difficult for acculturated
yogis. The solution was (and is) is to reduce
data scanning from wide angle to narrow angle,13 indeed to the
point14 when only one datum15 is scanned/probed16
and @100% brain processing capacity.17,18 Then, when only one datum is processed
and @100% capacity, that one datum becomes the one’s whole world/universe.
Indeed one experiences oneself as the whole universe.19,20 In other words, I am, that is to say,
become conscious of myself as actually one, when I contact one.21
I am virtually one (actually none) when I contact none.22 Hence
‘As I think/imagine, so I am.’ @one,23 an individual is
free from the turmoil and pain (and pleasure) of multiplicity, free from
incompleteness, uncertainty and imperfection.24 @1 she actually
experiences herself as, indeed ‘is’ the Brahman/God (in situ), or so she, as
pantheist, will rightfully claim.25 © 2018 by

1. For ‘natural’ read: the ‘all’. Indeed those and all
other philosophers (and scientists) never observed and still don’t observe
more than their own particular ‘all’ decided/framed by the limitations of their
data accessing and processing capacities. That’s why all observation is
limited, hence incomplete, hence uncertain; hence an inference. 2. Ancient Greek: Epicure’s to pan
(from which pan’theism is derived).
If and when individuals chose to imagine ‘all’ rather than ‘their all’ as God
they mutated as pantheists. 3. Because naively curious, open-minded and highly
motivated. They were not priests/brahmins imprinting the village folk with
archaic and redundant hand-me-down rules designed to function as placebos. 4. Therefore enstatic, i.e. an ens. 5. And because certain therefore absolutely real and
true. Alas. oneness as such (therefore a closed system) is actually
incomplete because unprovable (so Goedel), hence prior to identifiable
experience and so consciousness. In short, actual @oneness, hence absolute
completion and certainty and the sense of absolute realness and trueness
happens by means of once-off contact with an ‘other’ one in a relativity
vacuum. Without contact @oneness ceases to be absolutely real/true and
reverts to virtual status, hence to actual incompleteness and uncertainty.
Hence ‘It is not good that man (or God) should b alone.’ Genesis 2 6. That was a beginner’s mistake. G.O.D./Brahman is not
in fact ‘All’ but merely emerges as ordering template of ‘All’ (Greek: to pan),, indeed of every
particular (hence niche) ‘all’. G.O.D (natura naturans) responds to disorder
as ordering/constraining device/algorithm. A thing (i.e. natura naturata)
emerges as g.o.d. if and when it serves to change (i.e. differentiate, thus
mutate) order. 7. In the Upanishads called the saguna (i.e. with
qualities/form) Brahman and which expresses, emerges (its qualities/form) via
serial contact. 8. Sanskrit: sat ≈ is’ness, realness, trueness 9. For ‘form’ read: identifiableness, identity (Sanskrit:
cit). Form (i.e. indentity) emerges with series (or strings), i.e. with
serial contact/interaction/karmic residue transfer. 10. The nirguna (without qualities/form/identity)
Brahman. The nirguna Brahman ‘waits’ (inactive) as ordering ≈
constraining template, hence as virtual possibility. 11. i.e. merging or unifying with, demerging or
reverting back into. This led to the ancient Indian cultural, hence unnatural
ideal of moksha
as ‘release from’ (form, time and so on), and which so damaged India in the
long run. Ordinary Indians, behaving naturally, continued to attempt to
achieve the moksha
of differential emergence, i.e. ‘freedom to’. 12. i.e. those behaving naturally and therefore being
compliant with/obedient to the basic ordering template, i.e. G.O.D./Brahman.
Acculturated yogis behaving on line to a selected niche (or culture) ordering
template (i.e. a henotheistic GOD) struggle to achieve release into @oneness
because they fail to act naturally. 13. In other words, data processing shifts from analogue
(or process) to digital (or quantum) processing, that is to say, from the
‘movie’ back to the ‘still.’ The ‘mystic’ (or yogi) reverts from the movie to
a still, then from the still to a pixel (and then reverts back to the
original ordering template prior to local ordering). Then she absorbs into
the pixel, that is to say, absorbs the pixel @ 100%. In other words, she
floods herself, i.e. her brain as simulating device, with one pixel (or any
data bit) until all else, i.e. all otherness, is eliminated and nought but
the one pixel/datum exists and when she experiences himself as the pixel, or
indeed, any datum/focus/contact. 14. i.e. to ‘one-pointedness.’ 15. i.e. any quantum as enstatic (i.e. @ min. entropy)
whole, hence ‘all.’ 16. i.e. processed. 17. @100% ≈ maximum personal (hence relative)
processing capacity and which may or may not be increased or decreased to
facilitate not just wide and narrow angle processing but also to manipulate
the experience of realness/trueness (i.e. wholeness) or the reverse. 18. That’s the essence of yoga, i.e. of the attainment
of absolute stillness ≈ certainty ≈ completeness ≈ oneness
(i.e. isolation), namely the reduction of mental turbulence resulting from
scanning. See: Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra No2. 19. When scanning (for multiple foci) ends and a single
datum/focus is probed @100% capacity the observer appears to ‘rest’, i.e.
‘is’ @1 and experiences herself initially as the observed, then as simply
present (i.e. as universal because unbounded/unlimited) without either an
observer or an observed. This is a self-generated fantasy albeit real like a
dream image. 20. The diagram shows how the world of multiplicity (and
imperfection, and delivering ‘pain’) is reduced to the world of oneness (and
perfection, and delivering first pleasure, then indifference) by simply
processing one datum (or dream) only and @ maximum capacity. This is how a
dream (or any fantasy, or any imagined datum) is made to come true/real. And
with the achievement of oneness (i.e. when the dream comes true) comes
completeness, certainty, peace and joy, at least initially, and thereafter,
for lack of ‘difference that makes a difference’, indifference, dissolution,
depression, misery and death, unless the sense of oneness is maintained by
means of selected playback or step by step (i.e. one step at a time) data
input. 21. @ 1 to 1 contact I momentarily exist as a real
(hence true) quantum, hence as actually, albeit not yet identifiable emerged
ordering template, i.e. as g.o.d. When serial contact happens I emerge fully
as real and true identifiable entity. 22. When contact does not happen I don’t actually exist,
to wit, I am not (real and true). That is to say, I have not emerged as local
application of the universal ordering operating system. 23. That is to say, locked inside her oneness fantasy
and which she experiences as real and true, and meaningful too. 24. She achieves moksha/liberation
from the turmoil and pain of the interaction of the many by incarcerating
herself in the ONE/Brahman, with or without qualities. 25. The @oneness experience (in Yoga called: kaivalja (i.e. isolation)) happens
from moment to moment as natural, albeit low impact emergent of
contact/communication. @oneness is so ordinary, so ‘everyday’, that it is
rarely experienced in consciousness. However, sometimes the @oneness
experience burst forth spontaneously and powerfully into consciousness or it
is trained, as in Yoga, so to present. That can happen with profound effect
to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Since the @oneness experience emerges as
natural by-product of communication (i.e. interaction), it can, as an
experience (i.e. as a datum or focus), be selectively trained (like one’s
capacity to cook or to reason) to express in a more powerful way, indeed to
the ‘point’ where that experience alone floods the brain @100% and when only
that experience exists as real/true and therefore as universal. At which
point tattvamasi
