An understanding of every topic, subject or technology is acquired by first understanding the relevant terms. These are doors through which were enter the specialised paradigms of various technologies. These technologies are unique domains where nothing else exist, but what is required for the creation and substance of a technologies existence. They way to develop an understanding of any technology or subject is to go through one of these doors. The doors are known as gateways.
These terms are portals, through which we access specific subjects. Understanding is like a photograph that is being developed in a dark room. If you were working in a darkroom developing photographs for a customer who brough in film, you wouldn’t know what the customer had photographed until you had developed the film. However, once you had developed the film, the details of the photograph would reveal themselves. The limits of what can be seen are what is revealed by the photograph.
Learning a subject is the same. Initially its just jargon and whilst we can have a general term for a subject, such as vehicle, it doesn’t mean we can design, build or repair a vehicle. When you lift the bonnet on a motor vehicle unless you understand that paradigm, you are unlikely to understand the details of what you are looking at or how that technology works. Every technology existing or potential, exists in the collective unconscious. The collective mind is not personal and it contains everything.
If I invent a new technology, I create a record of it in the collective mind or the collective unconscious. This is accessible to everyone. However, if you don’t understand the conceptual words that created it or how it works, then it is like a undeveloped photograph. It’s just a blur. You don’t learn in the world, you learn in the mind. In order to learn how to access new ideas, you need to find the door that opens the portal to greater understanding. This door is a word that is a concept. The first door will lead you to the second, third and so on.
When you have developed sufficient understanding the metaphorical photograph becomes clear. Now you have the ability to use what you understand, and possibly apply it in some way that is unique to you. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. The personal mind is what we download. Our personal mind is equal to our personal understanding and our unique expression. This mind is not all there is. In fact, its only a laboratory in which we experiment with different ideas, beliefs and technologies.
It is through the development of our understanding that we expand it. To develop an understanding of new technology we must first develop an understanding of the conceptual terms that brought it into existence. These are the doors that lead to greater understanding. The world is full of temptation and if you are to develop an understanding in one area you must go through the relevant door and exclude data from all other paradigms in order that your focus is not distracted by superficial, unrelated data that will compromise progress.
The mind is the laboratory where all understanding must develop, not the world. Each term is a portal and each portal, grants the seeker a level of understanding. How much understanding is required? The objective determines the level of understanding required. The achievement of the objective establishes that sufficient understanding has been acquired. You don’t stop until you achieve the objective. Matthew 7:7 (KJV) “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
What does understanding do? It gives awareness access to portals that lead to the level of information that matches our understanding. This means we have expanded our personal mind’s understanding. Everyone has a 100% understanding. However, in the moment that we aspire to be something else (richer, slimmer, fitter, more intelligent, more capable), it is because we have not realised that we have confined ourself within a paradigm. This paradigm is what some refer to as reality.
When a poor man appears to become rich and successful, it means that he has shifted paradigms. This is a literal shift in personal reality. This is growth in understanding which appears to others as a transformation. We can go through doors that will take us into crime, violence and addiction. We can go through doors that will take us into happiness, success, health and wealth. These doors are personal and only exist within the personal mind. They cannot be found in church, schools, colleges or universities.
They cannot be found by listening to a podcast. They are not here, within the lines of this essay. They are within our own mind. They are doors because the doors are the portals that establish the limits between personal understanding and potential understanding. 100% of our understanding may include more than 100% of our understanding ten years ago. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. If we say ‘this’ (whatever this is) is this and we refuse to accept any other possibility we establish the dogmatic limits of our understanding.
This means we close the door on greater potential and decide this is where I will exist from this moment forward. This is not failure, this is acceptance, but it is also rejection. It is a rejection of any greater understanding. The potential of each mind is unlimited but the expression of each mind is not. This is not because our potential expression is limited. It is because every form of expression when expressed is finite and this is a limitation. So what is this potential? God! A definition of God creates and reveals a sacred paradox.
The paradox is: “God is the greater understanding that exists beyond all understanding”. This is why God is our only salvation. The pinnacle is not the car, the plane, the computer, nanotechnology or AI. By comparison to previous technologies, these technologies are unprecedented. However, this statement was once true of the windmill, the horse and cart and the steam engine. AI is not the solution to a problem that does not exist. AI has no access to the collective mind. AI has no access to God.
We don’t really learn by developing our understanding actively. If active learning is done thoroughly, it creates conflict within the mind. This known explained by the concept of context. The way to expand our personal understanding is to interrogate it, so that we can establish if and where it cannot sustain itself, and the limits of its utility. This will lead to questions about the potential for another way, an alternative. That is where the answer to those questions which is held in the impersonal collective unconscious potential that resonates with that question, begins to respond.
This response may come in the form of an idea, a though or kinaesthetic signals (gut feeling). This is personal communication. This should not be shared in order to ensure that it is not contaminated with man-made logic. Look at the world. Its full of crime, violence, rape, drug addiction, corruption and selfishness. Truth only in God. Heaven is the whole mind, where all things are possible. Jesus is the way to all things. Having faith in Jesus is life transforming. John 14:6 (KJV) “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Communication of every concept is done through language. In software you have functions. In physically perceived experience you have concepts. The function must be understood before it can be utilised. The concept must be understood before it can be personally expressed. Theft is a concept. Charity is a concept. Charity comes from the word Caritas (Latin) which literally means dearness or high value. Caritas comes from cārus = dear, precious, costly, beloved, meaning to hold something or someone to be of great worth.
The particular concepts ‘we worship as truth’, will create our questions and influence what our mind contemplates. We worship each and every one of our beliefs as God. This is because we make them our personal truth, against which we will argue, fight and in some cases die. We can only grow by questioning the integrity and sovereignty of our beliefs. If we live a peaceful, prosperous, contented life, then to question it would be ruinous. If we live a life of addiction, homelessness, unhappiness, poverty or sickness it is our duty to question it.
When you become knowledgeable you become a portal to others. Instinctually, when someone is searching for knowledge, that is with you, they will gravitate to you. They will know instinctively that what they seek is accessible through you. This is because you are demonstrating it. The portal to the knowledge you accessed at source is opened within them in the moment they understand you. When they understand what you understand, you are replaced by a portal they discover within themselves. It is then that the student outgrows the master.
The love within us is not accessed directly. It is accessed through others, by loving them. A man’s erotic centre is within him, but only accessible through his lover/spouse. A woman’s erotic centre is within herself, but is only accessible through her lover/spouse. Genesis 2:24 (KJV) “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Pornography is a demonic perversion of a natural phenomenon, because there is no personal connection with the object of lust.
All technology and all knowledge are reflections of their source. The source is not Einstein, Brunel, Jobs, Gates or Ford. The source(s) are what those individual’s accessed through realisation of greater understanding. True understanding is a direct connection with source. It’s only when we reconnect with the source of any perceived phenomenon that true understanding occurs. ‘Realisation’ is the moment when understanding occurs. True understanding is only possible when there is a direct connection with the source which is an impersonal collective consciousness.
Understanding is realised through direct connection. Within each one of us is unlimited potential. We are potential! This means that in existential terms, we are potentially anything. What we focus on in the world creates a signal that has a unique frequency. If we focus on something for long enough, we eventually match its source frequency. We literally become its frequency and it becomes the dominant influence. Our awareness of this frequency occurs in the moment we realise something about what we are contemplating or observing.
This is a realisation of understanding that exceeds what can be directly perceived by sensory perception, critical analysis or intellectual evaluation. In order to understand this, we can look at Nikola Tesla: “One afternoon, which was to be ever memorable, I was enjoying a walk with my friend in the City Park, and reciting poetry. At that age I knew entire books by heart… The sun is setting fast… As I uttered these inspiring words, the idea came like a flash of lightning.” — Nikola Tesla, My Inventions, Electrical Experimenter, 1919, Chapter 4
Before the flash (realisation of idea), Tesla states the problem he was contemplating: “The chief difficulty lay in devising a motor without brushes or commutator, which would operate on alternating currents.” — My Inventions, Electrical Experimenter, 1919, Chapter 4. The idea didn’t come from Tesla, it came to him. He was the recipient of the idea, not its creator. If we do not question the fossilisation of our understanding it will never grow. It is only by questioning the absolute dogmatic sovereignty of any observable phenomenon that it transforms.
What causes the growth in our understanding is not education. Education may provide material for contemplation. However, education is not the source of the phenomenon, it’s an attempt at explaining it. Education reveals the limits of the understanding of those who believe that teaching material is fact. Understanding is always that. Understanding is always located at a fixed point along a line that is eternal. What is possible (potential) is never reflected in our collective understanding.
The only way to expand our collective understanding is to question it, interrogate it, contemplate as nothing more than a barrier to greater understanding. The only thing a mind can lack is understanding. The world is nothing more than our collective perception. Perception is understanding. The realisation of greater understanding is the inevitable effect of contemplating the sovereignty of our existing understanding. The contemplation of what is offered as fact is a form of question and that question will be answered.
The answer will be in the form of an idea. However, an idea without realisation is a thought. The difference between thoughts and ideas is their value. This is why we must question everything because realisation occurs when idea and its meaning are instantly realised. When the material from which an idea is made is not realised its called a thought. Thoughts are autonomous. When the meaning of the thought is realised, it becomes an idea that is the answer to a question. The moment of realisation converts a dream or thought into an idea that has full understanding.
In My Inventions (1919), Tesla states explicitly that he was reciting poetry aloud at the moment of a realisation. “As I uttered these inspiring words, the idea came like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed.” — My Inventions, 1919. Realisation occurs, its is not an activity and it does not involve volition. We must focus on our objectives and the perceived obstacles to the realisation of their achievement. Elias Lowe the inventor of the eye of the needle used for sewing machines was legally challenged as to whether the invention was his alone.
Howe had to fight for his idea (patent) in litigation because his priority and originality were being attacked, and the case turned on whether the critical inventive step was his and his alone. The courts ultimately accepted Howe’s claim. In Howe v. Singer and related cases (1854–1856), the judges ruled that earlier sewing machines did not contain the essential combination that Howe patented, and that Singer’s machines infringed upon it. As a result, Howe won royalties on nearly every sewing machine sold in the United States for a number of years.
When called to give testimony Howe claimed that the source of the idea was a ‘dream’. Howe went on to describe the dream in sworn testimony in order to establish chronology and independence. The account of Howe’s insight comes from 19th-century legal records. The problem Howe had been struggling with, documented in court testimony and biographies, was how to form a reliable stitch mechanically. Earlier machines failed because the needle eye was at the wrong end. This perceived problem was something he regularly focussed on.
The collective unconscious is unlimited potential and the goals we focus on in life will resonate and eventually connect with its source and cause in this unlimited realm of potential. According to Bennett, A History of the Sewing Machine (1889), and repeated in Howe v. Singer litigation summaries: “Howe had exhausted himself trying to devise a workable stitch and fell asleep. He dreamed he was seized by savages who threatened to kill him unless he finished the machine. Their spears had holes near the points.” Howe realised the meaning of the dream immediately upon waking.
The world is a reflection of its source. The world cannot bring you anything but second hand ideas. This is why it was said: Romans 12:2 (KJV) “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Your personal mind is not the collective mind. The collective mind is the source of all ideas. The idea is the evidence that we are not the creator of the thoughts and ideas, we are the recipient of them. Faith in God is essential to ensure that the communication is benevolent.
Crime is evidence of the fact that criminals get ideas too! Obedience to God ensures that nothing but God will place thoughts and ideas within our mind. If we are tempted to lie, in order to benefit, we now create a door that give access to our mind to the source of that sin. Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”
Heaven is the whole mind. The whole mind is a collective mind. Everyone on Earth has access to the collective mind, unless and until they decide that what they believe or know is absolute. This creates a barrier to greater understanding. It is at this point that we make our personal understanding our God. A hypocrite claims faith in God and obedience to God but does not keep his commandments. If we do not keep his commandments it is likely that what we focus on is selfish and harmful to others.
Sinners believe that the perceived world is all there is. This is why they lie, cheat, steal and murder. Rapists deny God in the moment they attack a child of God. If every personal goal is a collectively rewarding goal, it means that it is not a purely selfish goal. If what we offer does not serve others then it is only of value to self and is not in service to God. We serve God by serving others. No man serves God by exploiting others. A life of service is how we serve God. The plans of anyone who focusses on plans and keeps God’s commandments will benefit from ideas.
The world is now addicted to stimulus (emotional) responses to perceived stimulus. This is stimulus that triggers a neurochemical (emotional) response. These spikes in the brains neurochemistry is a ‘PERCEPTUALLY INDUCED NEUROCHEMICAL RESPONSES’. Many people have now become addicted to those spikes and will scroll through twenty four (24), fifteen (15) second clips on social media over each hour, in order to get their fix. However, the cost is the loss of the ability to focus for a longer period. This means we aren’t focussing on things long enough to match source frequency and open the portal for ideas.
The ability to focus and concentrate is a discipline that is essential for learning. If we focus on anything for long enough our understanding of it will change. If we continue to focus on our growing understanding, it will lead to an understanding that is unique. An expert is someone who can utilise their understanding to achieve results that are beyond the ability of the majority of people. Looking at and contemplating too many things at once is to concentrate on nothing, exclusively. James 1:8 (KJV) “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
We must focus almost exclusively on our goals. We should not be changing our goals and continually starting over. We should not have doubt about what we are planning to do and we should not change our plans unless we have a clear and certain idea to do so. Uncertainty will weaken our connection/signal with source. Luke 9:62 (KJV) “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” The kingdom of heaven is the whole mind. We exist in a personal mind, but through faith we have access to the whole mind.
If you want a better world, make it your objective and create a plan. This is God’s work! Don’t wait to die to go to heaven, let heaven come to you now. Luke 17:21 (KJV) “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Jesus rejects the geographic and political kingdom and identifies where heaven is. If you do not believe in heaven it is because you have replaced source with its effects. The world is evidence of it source. It’s source is God! Sin only prevails when God is denied. Turn to God!
