Consciousness Drives the Bus and Physics for Human Beings

Introduction
Beginning of the first physical thing in the first universe is not the beginning of beginning, it is only the beginning of physical.
The root problem with physics is the doctrine of physicalism, particularly the false metaphysical assumption of physical closure.
“Everything is a particle.” Nima Arkani-Hamed, “Setting the stage: Space-time and Quantum Mechanics” video transcript, Messenger Lectures, Cornell University, 18 October 2010
Physics cannot fix itself, because there are no tools in the science of physics, or the mathematics of physics suited to fixing it.
10-43 = 43 zeros after the decimal: “0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000005 seconds. That’s equivalent to the Planck time, beyond which the fabric of space and time is overwhelmed by quantum effects.” Antonio Padilla (physicist, University of Nottingham, UK), “This Number is Too Big for the Universe,” Lost in Space-Time Newsletter, New Scientist, 06 September 2022
“…the mere fact of doing the experiment, by the uncertainty principle, puts so much energy into the region you’re trying to look at that you collapse it into a black hole. And you can’t get any information out. So you defeated your own purpose. You are trying to understand what’s going on at very short scales and it stops working. It stops working when those distances you’re probing at around 10 to the minus 33 centimeters, the times are 10 to the minus 43 seconds…you can’t even know what’s going at 10 the minus 31 centimeters…” Nima Arkani-Hamed, “Setting the stage: Space-time and Quantum Mechanics” video transcript Messenger Lectures, Cornell University, 18 October 2010
The only solution is an arranged marriage between science and philosophy, physics and metaphysics, physical and consciousness (the physical category and the immaterial category). Physicists deny the immaterial category, including consciousness and eternal, even exists, nevertheless, that marriage reveals what is more fundamental than spacetime.
“…we don’t know what time and space mean anymore.” Nima Arkani-Hamed, “Space-time is doomed. What replaces it?” video transcript, Messenger Lectures, Cornell University, October 18, 2010
“…notion of space time is not a fundamental one. Space time is doomed. There is no such thing as space time fundamentally in the actual underlying description of the laws of physics… if there’s no space time, it’s not clear what physics is about.” Nima Arkani-Hamed, “Setting the stage: Space-time and Quantum Mechanics” video transcript Messenger Lectures, Cornell University, 18 October 2010
Emptiness (what physicists call void space) is darkness everywhere all at once. There is no intrinsic locality in emptiness, but emptiness entails all locality. Ego consciousness instantiates locality. Therefore, every instance of ego consciousness is literally the center of the whole physical universe.
Ego consciousness drives the bus.
Physical cannot explain or create itself. Every physical thing, without exception in every possible universe, exists with a beginning, and must be caused to begin by something else that already exists. It is therefore necessary that something does exist without beginning. By common definition only one thing exists without beginning and that is eternal (= Aseity = God).
It is necessary for fundamental physics cosmology to explain what caused the first physical thing in the first universe. That explanation is what cosmogony is. Currently fundamental physics cosmology is incomplete because there is no coherent cosmogony.
It is irrational to claim, as physicists do, that our whole physical universe created itself out of nothing (that is certainly not a coherent cosmogony). Whatever the first physical thing in the first universe was, say a big bang and a cosmic inflation, was simultaneous with a complete (all at once) set of laws of physics. That is a description of creation, not evolution.
“What can we possibly do? What can possibly make sense?” Nima Arkani-Hamed, “Space-time is doomed. What replaces it?” video transcript Messenger Lectures, Cornell University, October 18, 2010
The primary task that I accomplish in The Secret Cosmos: Consciousness Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics is to coherently articulate a cosmogony to complete fundamental physics cosmology.
“…the very, very hardest set of questions have to do with cosmology.” Nima Arkani-Hamed, “The Morality of Fundamental Physics” video transcript, Messenger Lectures, Cornell University, 28 April 2016
Eternal genesis-emanates the first-first, the beginning of beginning, and that is superconsciousness. Superconsciousness is the one and only hypostasis, the first-first, the beginning of beginning. Hypostasis superconsciousness genesis-creates everything else that exists with beginning.
Where are we? Here. When are we here? Now. It is literally impossible not to be here now. Wherever you go, there you are, now. With illumination of ego consciousness you have the sentient feeling experience knowledge certainty, I AM THAT, which feels like identity between ego consciousness, superconsciousness and eternal.
Ooh la-la! What a feeling that is!
The Secret Cosmos: Consciousness Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Volume One which many readers affectionately refer to as the owner’s manual for a human being.
Raw food for your brain. Even one serving restores neuroplasticity. Unlimited repeat exposures with no known undesirable side effects. Unsalted. Gluten free. Nothing artificial added. No alternate facts! Thoroughly mixed, shaken and stirred to perfection, then the whole truth, nothing but the truth, served straight-up. Guaranteed to make you feel real good everywhere all at once every time you indulge. Yes please, I would like more of that!
The correct name for our ontological epistemological mereological topological holographic Möbius entangled fractal ultimately simultaneous holon live organism universe is GAIA, and she is warm and friendly, not cold and prickly.
Illumination enlightenment feels like identity I AM THAT being ultimately simultaneous inside everything everywhere all at once closer than touching right here right now. Ask any Tantra Yoga master; they know a thing or two about inside each other closer than touching.
Consciousness drives the bus. Moving on a Möbius loop great circle of our whole spherical universe, wherever you start from is necessarily also your final destination. Prodigal, return HOME. Everywhere is local. Wherever you want to get to you get to right here right now and you always arrive alive. Wherever you go there you are exactly only and always. Hello! Are you right here right now? Where are you looking? Sign on the Yogi’s door reads “enquire within.”
Hi Al, I have read your introduction. There so much to contemplate and I am intrigued. I am hoping that as I read on that I will have greater insights to be able to give you meaningful feedback. It was great to spend a bit of time with you. Thank you, Steve
