THE SUPER AWAKE FLOW

I have never worked a day in my life. It was all fun.
Thomas A. Edison

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
Rumi

God enjoys himself in all things.
Meister Eckhart
 

One of the signs of progress in meditation is that you will increasingly find yourself unexpectedly in a state of blissful flow. This flow is initially experienced during meditation itself and then gradually extends into daily chores in the form of creative spontaneous activity. Another way to describe flow is as a state where the external and internal self, in a broader sense, all the numerous and vastly different operating systems of the human organism have found a profound point of balance in a kind of super awake consciousness and attentive awareness.
 
Like so many other things in life, meditative flow is not something we can achieve by directly striving for it. After all, it's not possible to "body-build" consciousness.

Meditation occurs, as I perceive and understand it, as a spontaneous, effortless, flowing event in the inner body space. It happens by itself here and now in a state of will-less surrender, accompanied by a causeless joy. The Indians refer to this very special state of bliss, where one sits immersed in oneself without any desire, as "ananda."
 
When you, in passive will-lessness, become meditated rather than actively meditating, your body becomes a stage for an incredibly broad spectrum of bubbling colors, emotions, and energy flows, all of which have in common that it is almost impossible to describe them with words.

Meditation is in this sense pure creativity.

For this reason alone, meditation cannot rely on method, technique, practice, or exercises. The paradox is that any intention to meditate removes one from Meditation. If you have anything other than a playful easy going relationship with meditative techniques or exercises, well, my site may not be for you... or perhaps exactly for you...

How does one cultivate such joyous ease in meditation?

Allow me to share the secret immediately. It's not about mastering a variety of techniques or attending costly meditation courses. It involves embracing a state of inward-focused passive vulnerability. In vulnerability, unsullied by narrative-spinning and identity-building, we enter a self-oscillating state of consciousness where our inner world is amplified in a feedback loop. This feedback loop is the backbone of the phenomenon known as 'flow.'
 
Once someone surrenders to this oscillating flow, they become capable of functioning far more effectively than those who laboriously tread the constrained path of effort, with the promise of reward before them and the breath of fear on their necks.
 
The strenuous path between the carrot and the stick assumes a polarization between good and evil. Here, one struggles to avoid evil and works to achieve good. This strugle is administered by the thinking mind, that tries to anticipate both dangers and rewards.

The spontaneously creative process in meditative flow is less dependent on polarizing and thought based cognition.
 
Based on experiences from my inner body laboratory, I will now argue:
 
Spontaneous creativity and our self-healing intelligence are two different expressions of the same wonderful flow. It requires the high level of signal chemical interaction in the brain that leads us into a baseline state of amazement.


The Crux of the Matter: Consciousness
The awakening and reinforcement of this inner flow is the central 'objective' of meditation. Meditation facilitates this by fostering a 'hyper-alert' state of consciousness. Without this hyper-alert consciousness, the type of flow discussed here cannot be realized.

The average individual remains in a state of slumber even when awake. For such a semi-somnolent individual, the ego-operating system, with its cognitively-based thought strategies, remains the only viable approach.
 
Flow, without the hyper-alertness, is akin to entropy.

 
The Power Source: Wakeful Attention
The intensity of this independent bodily and cerebral flow is directly proportional to the amount of fuel it receives. This fuel is nothing more than attention. Attention not only magnifies the intensity of the inner body flow, but it also imparts intelligence to it. This autonomous intelligence is intuitive and gradually takes over an increasing number of life tasks and actions from the old operating system, which relied heavily on strain and thought-based cognition. In this sense, it can be said that by cultivating consciousness, we transform the primal animal within us into a god-like entity. In this transformative process, the struggling human, caught in between these two operating system entities, can finally find tranquility and joy, akin to a beach-goer effortlessly riding the waves of life on a surfboard.


Immerse in the Flow and Revel in the Performance

Thus, as a meditator, all you need to do is maintain a state of presence in attention and consciousness. Actions will follow as effortlessly as the meditative state you were in. Inner passive attention creates spontaneous outer action.
Doing nothing within oneself results in spontaneous creative action in the outer world.
 
Consciousness Flow Out into the World
The meditative feedback is not a static event. It creates a river of nuanced feelings, which in turn provoke spontaneous creative actions in the world.
 
Creative creation is a characteristic of a cultivated consciousness and attention, which is not found in the Eastern version of Meditation, which sees depersonalization and passitivity as a good thing.
 
However, it is not possible to interact with the world without an identity. Creative action in flow is therefore a characteristic of a new operating system where the dynamically individual occupies a central place in the conscious attention cockpit.
 
The good old ossificated ego
The old ego-operating system does things. It achieves action power through effort and the self narrated ever repetitional story: I am the doer of this.
The old ego is a self-personality that cannot let go of power. Hence it always strives to uphold a status quo.
 
This type of ego is an operating system that has passed its evolutionary expiration date. Meditation.dk does not recommend Jihad against the ego. Such actions will only make it grow, since strive, polarization and effort exactly are the basic tools the ego uses. The ego-imp must instead be suffocated slowly in kindness and love or rather much more be transformed. Because without an entity within us that primarily seeks its own survival, we could not exist at all.

The tendency is ever towards self-repetition,
towards the preservation of the species:
it is every man' s intention that his work should be himself.
Meister Eckhart

Transitioning from Ego to Essence-Entity in Flow
An ego, enlightened by humor in a state of heightened consciousness, is not an enemy and it should not dissolve. Rather, it undergoes a metamorphosis into a fluid core essence. Such an ego doesn't fear its own demise; through experience, it realizes its perpetual cycle of continous death and rebirth. In this context, meditation symbolizes le petit mort, paving the way for a renewed, revitalized ego-entity. A person engaged in this leela experiences a form of rebirth in every meditation. Such a person dies to live a countless times within one life-span.
 
Cultivation of consciousness transforms the ego from a stagnant lake into a flowing river. The meditative 'self' merges into a constant state of flow, devoid of self-importance. It learns continuously through recognizing its own mistakes, and is akin to a surfer, delighting in the refreshing waves of life's ocean. Meditative self-awareness strips away false self-images, facilitating our unity with our core essence. It's important to note that this core essence isn't a solid 'entity', but more of a harmonious dance in heightened consciousness, leading to optimal dynamic compromises between our internal, conflicting biological operating systems that have evolved since we first emerged as living beings.
 
This internal flow-persona also possesses the power to act, but this power is instinctive and spontaneous. There's no effort involved. The actions of the new river-ego is autonomous like the growth of our hair and nails to the regulation of our heartbeat and digestion. Other activities, such as breathing and sexual activity, straddle the line between willful and involuntary. Our innate ability to meditate, along with all the wondrous secrets it holds, reside in this same realm.


Effortless Intelligent Action Power: Act Before You Think
Thought, ego, and control are interconnected. For those who are free from thought and ego control, all actions become instinctively spontaneous, so fast that one, in a way, becomes unknown to oneself. One who is oneself cannot know oneself. To know oneself requires distance.
To control oneself requires time. That's why highly self-controlled people often appear a bit slow in their behavior.

One might rightly object now. Acting instinctively with fewer thoughts... Isn't that a return to an animalistic state? Yes, in a way, it is.

The big difference is attention.
Cultivated attention transforms the so-called Freudian slip into spontaneous intelligence.

When the meditatively cultivated and crystal-clear attention makes direct contact with the inner emotional body, an intuitive and spontaneous intelligence arises that is directly astonishing, yes, almost miraculous. This intelligence is fluid, creative, and capable of making surprising quantum leaps between realities, in a way the poor little control ego will never grasp. The fact that one can only get here by doing nothing is an unimaginable provocation to the control entity within us, which for so many generations has earned its bread by the sweat of its brow.

When the meditatively cultivated attention meets the inner emotional body, the body reacts by making strange leaps like a young horse coming out onto a meadow with fresh spring grass for the first time.

Spontaneous action without attention is animalistic.
Spontaneous action in attention is the new conscious possibility of humanity.


Pull Yourself Together Now!
The very word 'effort' associates to muscle power. It is primarily the muscles that are activated in an effort process. In doing so, they prepare to remove the burden that the outer person has decided to get rid of. However, the muscles have two command centers.

When the inner person itself controls muscle activity, as in sex, blind aggression, or other purely instinctive actions, there is no effort involved.

When the command route goes from the outer to the inner person, effort arises.

The very phenomenon of 'effort' points to a friction between the inner person's basic autonomous life and the outer person's dictates based on analytical insight into the necessary. The outer person tries with its reasonable operating system to overwrite the inner person's more instinctive feeling operating system. However, the inner person only reluctantly allows itself to be motivated when the outer person dictates what it should do. The outer person, in a broader sense the outermost and most developed part of the brain, sends messages via neurons down to the basement where the more historically primitive parts of the brain as a kind of proletariat are forced to perform the tasks the neocortical ruler has commanded them to do.

Effort, in this light, is a by-product, a kind of exhaust from a poorly adjusted engine. It is created from the friction between the body's inner and outer operating systems.

The inner person's reluctance to obey the outer person's dictates is the root of all effort.

For the same reason, will-power driven meditation does not work.
The inner person does not want to meditate just because the outer one has been on a course.

The Inner Person in Creative Emotional Flow
Spontaneous meditation arises because fundamentally, it's lovely to be immersed in oneself.
I would dare to assert here that there is nothing more pleasurable and lustful than to be sunk in oneself in a meditative flow.

That's why the inner person loves to meditate.
It happens by itself. It happens here and now. It feels good.

Where sex is sensual, meditation is a 'sense-ual' experienced process.
Both phenomena are based on the light principle and both presuppose letting go of control.
  

Desire Powers the Mechanism
Immediate gratification, in a broader sense pleasure and play, are important ingredients in motivating our inner self. When meditation occurs as a flowing event in the inner body space, the inner person collaborates with this feeling in attention.

Meditation is not a routine, a practice. It is a creative act.

The Spontaneous Meditative Feedback
The inner person feels. Its self-referential system consists of attention.
The sense of feeling is our largest and most important organ. It takes care of sensation in the surface skin, and much more importantly: It registers the incredibly varied sea of sensations in the inner body.
Spontaneous meditation arises as feedback between pure and clear attention and the body's inner energetic life. This point of no return can be compared to you taking a microphone up in front of a speaker and then turning up the input sensitivity until the microphone goes into self-oscillation with the speaker. In the same way, Meditation is a state where the body's sensations amplify themselves in the loop of attention.

Meditation and Playful Creativity
In addition to this meditative meta-view, it is my personal life experience that Meditation also nourishes one's creative sides. Play and creativity are closely connected, which means that you cannot be creative if you are too serious. A relaxed and humorous basic feeling provides the best playground for our inner child's bubbling ideas. The child in us, inexperienced, does not see the limitations that make the bumblebee unable to fly.

Let me conclude with a little rewriting of a famous Nietzsche quote: One must have silence in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. During Meditation and especially just after Meditation are ideal times to make room for new and 'crazy' ideas. A single new and fresh idea can save us from the conflict situations and the unnecessary work that otherwise lay waiting for us.

 

 

As mentioned in the section on conflict resolution, authentic communication liberates energy. It is simply uneconomical to navigate one's life according to the directives of the ego. The ego, unlike the core personality, constantly has to expend energy maintaining its false self-images.

FEEL AND KNOW IN FLOW
My master has revealed to me
The mirror within my own body;
Now I'll sing and dance in ecstasy.
Mirabai
To become a soul surfer, one must give up the ego operating system's overly slow and rigid control. The one who constantly has to control is thrown off the surfboard. However, there is a higher form of 'control', a control which is an integral
property of a potentiated state of consciousness without too many, but instead significant, thoughts.
In this higher consciousness operating system, there is no room for any doing or exertion. Everything happens by itself in an organic life that is its own cause, that creates itself in higher and higher forms of order depending on the clarity and intensity of consciousness.

Let me give a down-to-earth example of how consciousness and attention by themselves create order. I was walking with sandals in the metropolis of New Delhi. I was crossing a busy road and was so busy avoiding getting run over that I didn't notice that the curb was twice as high as curbs in Delhi usually are. So, I jammed my big toe into the curb and ended up with a wound that later got infected. If I had been slightly clearer in my attentive field of consciousness, I would have lifted my foot 10 cm higher and thus avoided chaos in my big toe.

The two keys that together make us surfers of the soul are:
attention and consciousness.

To sense and to know are the simplest and most fundamental actions a person can take. This could be why learning to meditate often feels challenging... it is simply too straightforward... Our minds envision a long, arduous journey towards the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. However, the most effective meditation is achieved through innocent and effortless:

sensing our inner body with awareness,
knowing that this happens within our consciousness.
Sin and Shame
If we, like Adam and Eve, see ourselves, our own nakedness, in the first layer of budding meta-consciousness, taken quasi-hostage by an angry and condemning patriarch, it is not a good situation. Meta-consciousness needs to be liberated from this Jahveh-like figure to fully unfurl its sails.

A meta-consciousness contaminated by guilt is something I perceive primarily as a historical developmental phase, a conflict of timing between the emergence of a modern meta-brain and an outdated cultural operating system, busily engaged in dividing the world into good and evil.

Sartre claims that humans are condemned to self-awareness. I understand his statement as pointing out the pain that newborn self-awareness inflicts on innocence. These birth pangs, however, should not deter us from stepping into this "fall from grace", which can lead us to new heights and depths of innocence. With a modern, updated cultural operating system, I would therefore argue that meta-consciousness is the only thing that can save us from our own innate foolishness.

The highest cognitive functions of consciousness struggle more under pressure. Awake consciousness loves tranquility.

We Grow in Peace
Every meditation direction speaks of the importance of peace. From this perspective, it becomes clear why. Consciousness cannot tolerate the unrest of the body. It is evolutionarily still so fragile that it can only grow in silence, free from the body's alarms. Once it has grown strong and robust enough in silence, peace, and tranquility to grapple with the world, this can only happen in a state of carefreeness and fearlessness.
 
And We Are Activated in the Play of Life
Just as children create better drawings if they are not rewarded for it or ordered to do so, the highest functions of consciousness work best when we are in a state of happily relaxed creative flow.
 
In hyper-alert meditative non-discrimination, you are favored by happiness. The orange falls straight into the intensified consciousness's turban. From personal experience, I can say that time and space bow to a strong and alert field of consciousness. What one has to fight for in the ego-operating system, navigating the gauntlet between good and evil, comes fluidly and playfully to those who themselves are carefree and fluid in a state of intense resting alertness.

Translated to the situation with the aforementioned knot or tension, it means just innocently noticing it and being aware of it. It will then disappear when the timing is right, which means when you, as a combined bioenergetic and psychological system, have the surplus to meet the feeling that the knot is hiding. If we actively and with effort try to remove emotional tensions within us, we risk becoming fragmented by them and actually feeling worse.

The Noble Human
Only honest, sensitive people full of healthy life energy can give birth to this super consciousness in the womb of their brains. Click on this link that leads back to the homepage if you want to see what I mean by the concept of "a noble person."

Dear reader, close your eyes again and step into the inner sensory darkness...

"In this darkness, the superconsciousness awakens in the sleepy bed of the normal consciousness. The superconsciousness is luminous darkness. It can only be seen and recognized by others who themselves live in the salvific nothingness of the black sun. The following quote perfectly describes the difference between the outwardly oriented normal consciousness and the inwardly loop-created superconsciousness. The outwardly oriented normal consciousness is dual and divides the world into subject-object relations. The consciousness of the inner world is non-dual."
 

How can the inner superconsciousness conquer the external world without paying the alienating price of duality? I must say that the way superconsciousness extraverts itself is surprising. As we will see in the following, it is nothing short of miraculous.

In the YouTube video below, Tony Woody describes his near-death experience. One would be hard-pressed to find a more beautiful and precise description of superconsciousness. Tony experiences, in what he believes are the last seconds of his life, a true fireworks display of superconsciousness. Pay close attention to his description of the Pepsi can that passes by the cockpit in a split second. In Tony's superconscious state, he 'sees' all of the Pepsi droplets at once in slow motion. He talks about how his soul left his body and had a view of everything from any point in space. "I became the debris," he says. "I had a 360-degree bubble vision view of every one of these millions of perspectives, even from the tiniest debris in the air." This experience of chaos and catastrophe is transformed into sublime perfection in his superconsciousness, even though the experience confused his conscious mind.

 

The Ubiquitous Proximity of Superconsciousness

One of the most important characteristics of superconsciousness is that it does not seem to be caught up in the alienating distance that a normal conscious dual subject-object relation always entails. Rather, there are infinitely many bubble-shaped subject-object relations that stretch from infinitely large to infinitely small perspectives. In this sense, superconsciousness completes and perfects the task that normal consciousness set for itself, but could not complete without the "help" of Lucifer.

This seemingly simple miracle is a wondrous feeling-set. For the dark light of superconsciousness is like that of the sun, both warming and enlightening. Superconsciousness feels-senses. In this mode of operation, it is both dual and non-dual. It is ubiquitous in distance, but at the same time, it is completely tangible in a way that, to me, most resembles the superposition of quantum particles, if nothing else but metaphorically.

In this dual-non-dual superposition of both felt proximity and visual remote sensing, it appears that superconsciousness further turns the brain into a synesthetic receiver and navigator of almost any possible symbiotic combination of the five senses. In superconsciousness, for example, light can have a taste, sound can have a smell, and emotions can have a color.

It is important to emphasize again here that superconsciousness fundamentally does not do any of these things. What we see and describe are the imprints of superconsciousness in time and space. The same applies, incidentally, to the black holes in the universe. As mentioned in the chapter "What is Consciousness," consciousness is itself transcendental and fundamentally different from what is reflected in it. However, superconsciousness is like a magic mirror, where phenomena that cannot occur in the mirror of normal consciousness are normal here. Feel-sense, non-dual duality is the "measurable" imprint of this superconsciousness in time and space, and in that sense, it is the only fingerprint we have of the invisible guest.

 



Matematisk genbrug fra det uendeligt store til det uendeligt små


THE QUANTUM SHOTGUN

Let's swim out to the last reef. The development of superconsciousness is a deterministic consequence of the holy mathematics' own unfolding. Like the Ouroboros serpent, this mathematics will bite its own tail, change its own course, and thereby abolish its own laws. I first encountered this line of thought outside of my own head when I attended a lecture by Holger Bech Nielsen as a high school teacher. He spoke of a particle that was shot out and hit itself, changing direction in the collision and therefore not hitting itself.


 



Intelligent conscious control systems that defy entropy
Let us now have a look at the relative aspects of Atma-consciousness in time and space as control systems. The primary function of these control system is, teleologically, through perpetual evolutionary intelligence development, to create a small current in the universe's thermodynamic river that generates order.
 
While the universe as a whole follows the third law of thermodynamics towards chaos, entropy, and a cold death, the fragile little sperm cell of life swims against the current on its way to the waterfall. On this journey from chaos to order, life develops more and more intelligence, but at the expense of robustness. Life becomes more and more fragile, but at the same time develops better and softer mattresses, like the princess and the pea, through its increased intelligence. It is self-evident that the more complex something becomes, the more fragile it becomes.

Higher consciousness and super-awareness are my best bets for the control system of the future. It is also the most fragile, as what has evolved last is the most vulnerable. We are currently at a crossroads between the old ego-operating system and a new super-conscious and super-intelligent control system. I see the sensitivity of today's crystal children, where people are offended by things the old ego cannot comprehend, as the evolutionary emergence of more complex nervous systems.

The Super-Aware Bypass

Here comes the next provocative proposition in its own image, for the significant little ego: Super-awareness is the operating system of the future.

One of the many qualities of super-awareness as an operating system is its ability to bypass the thought operating system and therefore language. Fundamentally, humans no longer need an ego's language- and understanding-based interface to act intelligently. Devoid of words, only the split-second quick and intuitive clear awareness of super-awareness interacts directly with time and space in ways that appear to the ego's thought operating system as pure magic. Actions happen much more in awake intuition. Ironically, IT usability guru Steve Krug indirectly hit upon this point in his cult book, "Don't Make Me Think," which largely explains why Nemide isn't easy. A super good app or web interface makes it possible, in the same way as with my new music programs, to do complex things with minimal intellectual capacity consumption. If you, dear reader, don't see the picture clearly, try to book a flight on Swiss Air's website. After three attempts, I had to give up. What does this mean in this context? It means that the more abstractly awake one is in a situation, or rather, the more abstractly awake the situation itself is, the more it is solved intuitively in the same way that I order my flights with Norwegian Air or hop on an electric scooter through my app without much thought.

Mankind is poised midway between the gods and the beasts.
Plotinus

A super-aware human is instinctively like an animal in a way. The crucial difference between the animal and the human, between the fool and the sage, is only the expanding awareness's reflective bright CLEAR OVER quality. We small humans, in our boundless self-overrating, think that intelligence is a product of our words and efforts. However, as we will see later in this chapter, intelligence is already immanent in the clear awareness of super-awareness. The brain's world of imagination and thought is a fractal simulation of the larger unknown Intelligence. Even when we project this larger algorithmic intelligence with human characteristics, it is not entirely beside the point in the sense that we ourselves are this intelligence in human form. God is a projection of ourselves into Ding an sich, which thereby takes on a human form. If there is a God, then it can only be us.

The Fool

Imagine that you are Goofy in a non-arrogant version. In superconsciousness, one is Aladdin, Filius Fortunae, the favorite of fortune, who finds the Divine Golden Horns by almost stumbling upon them. Oranges rain down into the turban of the one who is super awake. Yes, I know it's a romantic and definitely not scientifically proven statement.
 
The archetype, The Fool, is protected by youth, optimism, and God. However, I doubt he would survive a stay in New Delhi.
 
Many years ago, I crossed a busy road in New Delhi. When I reached the sidewalk, my right foot lifted habitually to the appropriate height for a curb in Denmark. In Delhi, however, curbs are as erratic as the wind, and sometimes they protrude in devilish ways that make you think they're homes for mischievous spirits. My sandal-protected toe banged into one of these mischievous curbs, and I injured it to the point of bleeding. Within a few hours, despite iodine and bandages, the wound became infected and ended up requiring hospitalization for a dangerous foot infection. What can we learn from this little story? My personal lesson is that the more awake I am, the less I act on habits. If I had been more awake, my foot would not have slammed into the damn dirty curb.
 
The brain consists of several layers like the rings of a tree. The innermost layer is sleeping. The farther into the center of the tree we go, the older the operational system rings we will encounter. That's why so much of what we do is done in our sleep. As in the case of my foot hitting a curb, unconsciousness and habits go hand in hand. One of the things that genius Steve Jobs was best at was recognizing all the deeply sleeping and unnecessary routines in a company. No one knew why they did this or that. It was pure reflex habits. Steve Jobs always asked: why? No one could give an answer, and so he had to find it himself. After he found the answer, he could invent new workflows based on this awareness.

That's exactly what wakefulness can be used for. Steve Jobs was simply awake.

When we look back at our own lives, we can remember situations where we were extra awake. Now imagine this wakefulness multiplied by 10... by 100... by 1000...

Lux as a measure of consciousness
Supervigilance can be visualized by the term light vigilance. Imagine feeling really awake and rested one morning after coffee. You sense and see everything clearly. Now imagine this state infinitely intensified.

Luminous super-vigilance can be compared to replacing a 100-watt bulb with a 1000-watt bulb. With the extra lux that such a bulb provides, it is easier to see and therefore orient oneself in the information chaos that is both in and around us. In this state, one can navigate in big data's hyper-variable scenarios in a relaxed flow.

Arriving safely on the other sidewalk, I would therefore claim the following:

Super-vigilance is an excellent survival strategy. Because in the light of the extra lux, I saw the curb lying in wait. It was not necessary to read a book about the danger of elevated curbs in the third world's overgrown mushroom colonies to survive India's bacterial hordes. Seeing was enough.

However, the best way to verify this statement is to be super-vigilant oneself. Without false modesty, I would argue that I myself am so for an average of a few seconds every day. Even one second of breakthrough into super-vigilance in my morning meditation makes the rest of the day more awake than it would otherwise be.
 

SUPERVIGILANCE'S ANTI-ENTROPIC ORDER
As hinted at the beginning of this chapter, it seems to me that the vigilant one is surrounded by a kind of luck that, as the intensity of vigilance increases, is capable of nudging Newton's time and space in the most miraculous ways. To a rational, old-school, schooled brain, this understandably looks like nonsense. But much of quantum physics also looked like nonsense to the scientists of the time, viewed through their blurred test tubes. After these introductory pirouettes, it is now time for a bigger leap into the unknown:

Supervigilance "nudges" reality
What saved Tony Woody from disaster?
The most likely scenario would have been that his emergency-landing plane would have crashed with death and mutilation as a result.

My intuition tells me that Tony Woody was saved by the superconsciousness that spontaneously expanded around him in the second he thought he was going to die. The countless near-death experiences that are available on YouTube in our blessed days point to the very superconsciousness not only as a witness, but as an actor. Supervigilance is evolution's latest and most advanced survival response. All cultures in the world have anecdotes about supernatural miracles in all known historical periods, usually where a "God" or divine person intervened. A skeptical explanation for this Deus ex machina is that it was invented in Greek theater and therefore belongs in the world of fiction and wishful thinking.

Based on my own life's miracle, I would, however, ask a counter-question. What if there really are miracles that seem miraculous precisely because they cannot yet be explained? Even in quantum physics and cosmology, there are miracles that are now explainably taken seriously and described in words from the world of magic.

In India, there are countless stories about how the so-called enlightened ones, gurus, supernaturally intervened and saved their disciples from critical situations. When I lived in North India near the Himalayas, I spoke with an old man who eventually became my friend. Once, as a young man, Shabdanand, as he was called, tried to cross a river during the monsoon season. Suddenly, the water masses grew violently, something that can happen if it has rained heavily in the Himalayan foothills, for example, 50 km away. Shabdanand was washed away by the water masses and now carried down the river at a furious pace. He screamed his guru, Faqir Baba's name, while helplessly swirling around in the water masses. Suddenly, Faqir Baba appeared to him, took his hand, and led him safely to the other side of the river.

At that time, Shabdanand still lived a secular life with a wife and children far from his master's ashram. After the miraculous rescue from certain death in the water masses, the only thing Shabdanand thought about was visiting his spiritual master and thanking him for his divine intervention. He arrived shortly after at the ashram, threw himself at Faqir Baba's feet, and thanked him with tears in his eyes. Faqir Baba asked with amazement: What's wrong with you? Why this theater? Shabdanand replied: You saved me from the water masses, that's why! Now Faqir Baba's response comes, which is the real reason I'm telling this story:

I know nothing about it!

Faqir Baba continued: It is your own faith and your own power that has saved you.


As hinted at the beginning of this chapter, it seems to me that the one who is awake is surrounded by a kind of fortune that, as the intensity of wakefulness increases, is capable of nudging Newton's time and space in the most miraculous ways. From the perspective of a rational, old-school educated brain, this understandably appears to be nonsense. However, much of quantum physics also appeared to be nonsense to the scientists of the time, viewed through their hazy test tubes. After these initial pirouettes, it is now time for a bigger leap into the unknown:

Super-wakefulness 'nudges' the fabric of space-time
What saved Tony Woody from the disaster?
The most likely scenario would have been that his emergency landing plane would have crashed completely, resulting in death and mutilation.

My intuition tells me that Tony Woody was saved by the superconsciousness that spontaneously expanded around him the moment he thought he was going to die. The countless near-death experiences that are available on YouTube in our blessed days point not only to superconsciousness as a witness, but also as an actor. Superconsciousness is the most advanced evolutionary survival response.

When I lived in northern India near the Himalayas, I spoke with an old man who eventually became my friend. Once, as a young man, Shabdanand, as he was called, tried to cross a river during the rainy season. Suddenly, the water masses grew violently, something that can happen if it has rained heavily in the Himalayan foothills, for example, 50 km away. Shabdanand was washed away by the water masses and now carried down the river at a furious pace. He screamed his guru, Faqir Baba's, name as he helplessly spun around in the water masses. Suddenly, Faqir Baba appeared to him, took his hand, and safely led him to the other side of the river.
 
Faqir Baba continued: It is your own faith and your own power that saved you.

Faqir addressed the crowd of people gathered around him, revealing a secret: it is our own faith and power that saves us, but we are often unaware of it and attribute it to our Guru. False gurus withhold this knowledge from their disciples, and their ashrams thrive on donations from grateful followers. He then attempted to provide a biochemical explanation for this phenomenon, stating that in life-threatening situations, the brain releases 5-meo-dmt and dmt, which causes consciousness to expand into a state of superconsciousness. This state has the ability to affect time and space and can puncture the bubble of the ego, providing a larger perspective. Faqir believes that consciousness is the foundation of reality, not the other way around.

He suggests that superconsciousness can manipulate reality in miraculous ways and may have saved Tony Woody from a disaster. Faqir believes that the expansion of superconsciousness around someone in a life-threatening situation can act as a survival response and even intervene supernaturally, as seen in countless near-death experiences and anecdotes from various cultures. He tells a story of a man named Shabdanand, who was saved from certain death by his guru Faqir Baba. When Shabdanand thanked Faqir Baba, he replied that it was Shabdanand's own faith and power that saved him.

Faqir argues that the problem lies in our ignorance of our own power and faith, which we often attribute to a Guru or higher power. False gurus withhold this knowledge from their followers and thrive on their donations. He concludes by urging readers to consider the possibility of miracles that cannot yet be explained, even in the realm of quantum physics and cosmology.



 

To put it briefly, Dean Radin's experiment shows that particles behave differently depending on the 'quality' of the consciousness observing them.

Isn't it fascinating that a rock, without any cognitive understanding of itself, follows complex mathematical laws, from its shape and chemical makeup to its seemingly random but, in a larger perspective, fractal placement on the beach? I discovered the cryptocrystalline structure in the rock on the beach, but it had 'found' the same answer millions of years before me. I am tempted to use the term intelligent design, but this concept is too contaminated with associations to the Bible Belt's attempt to incorporate an understanding of God that is just as predictable and boring as the Christian rock music mass-produced there. Almost 90% of these songs consist of the reassuring harmonic skeleton T-D-Tp-S, which tells me everything I need to know about the level of wakefulness here. The unfortunate thing is that most of the people who, unlike the religious, claim to be advocates of science, also have difficulty thinking beyond their harmonic skeletons. For in the same moment that Darwin is challenged, you are immediately lumped together with the outdated rural mentality of the Bible Belt.

Why is it so difficult to suggest a third or fourth possibility without being reduced to a statistic in the dual thinking straightjacket in the heads of people who believe themselves to be logical, but do not see that they, just like religious fundamentalists, are victims of the tendency inherited from the clan monkey to reduce everything to us versus them?

East versus West, iPhone versus Samsung, Mac or PC, Bandidos versus Hells Angels... At all levels of life, we divide everything into for or against according to the tune: The others are stupid, we know better.

But back to the topic... The universe is intelligent, for it followed the laws of mathematics before Euclid conceived them. The universe consists of mathematical recycling, where the same algorithms are at play in the smallest atom and in the largest galaxy.
 

Evolutionary "randomness" is therefore no more random than the emergence of the strongest bio-algorithm, which is currently us, is bound to follow a holy mathematical determinism. Isn't the greatest miracle that mathematics works at all, and that brains can, in theory, collectively arrive at the conclusion that a Higgs particle must exist and then find it through kilometers-long chains of x's and y's? When Dawkins reduces such mental feats to be explained within his vulgar Darwinistic worldview, it is, to me, a clear example of an unacknowledged religiosity.

Where am I going with this? Well, there is no "random" evolution. Chaos and randomness follow a mathematical order set by consciousness that we have not yet understood. Kabir says that he laughs when the fish in the ocean claim to be thirsty. The scientist does not see the miracle because he has drowned in it.

 
 

HOMO VIGILIAE
The universal spirit,
which slumbers in the stone, dreams in the plant,
awakens in the animal, becomes conscious in man.
F. Schelling
For me, there is nothing more blissful in this world than the miraculous life that unfolds in the omnipresent reflections of super-consciousness. However, this does not necessarily mean that the super-conscious being is always happy and fortunate from the perspective of everyday consciousness. For the happiness and immanent order of Super-consciousness predominantly unfold the holy mathematics of the larger perspective, where one sometimes needs to take a turn on the cross for the sake of the whole.
 

EVERYTHING IS VERY WELL - EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT WELL
The happiness gamma-rays of superconsciousness quietly radiate from the primordial depths. It "smiles" warmly from the flowers in the wallpaper of life's theater, so even tragedy is seen in the light of happiness. Superconsciousness unfolds a world full of magic and drama. Here it constantly recreates new orders from the ruins of shattered life dreams, but only when the one who is left in the rubble wakes up, realizes and accepts their fate with a laugh. Then the awake one rises up, brushes off their clothes, and continues on towards the next unrealistic dream of happiness, but this time with a hint of a smile on their lips. For in the magical mirror of superconsciousness, one sees that everything is very well, even when it's not well. In indomitable optimism, the superawake sing "Always look at the bright side of life" from their cross.
 

Supervigilance "nudges" reality
What saved Tony Woody from disaster?
The most likely scenario would have been that his emergency-landing plane would have crashed with death and mutilation as a result.

My intuition tells me that Tony Woody was saved by the superconsciousness that spontaneously expanded around him in the second he thought he was going to die. The countless near-death experiences that are available on YouTube in our blessed days point to the very superconsciousness not only as a witness, but as an actor. Supervigilance is evolution's latest and most advanced survival response. All cultures in the world have anecdotes about supernatural miracles in all known historical periods, usually where a "God" or divine person intervened. A skeptical explanation for this Deus ex machina is that it was invented in Greek theater and therefore belongs in the world of fiction and wishful thinking.
 


Universets sorte nåleøje

The concept of Homo Vigiliae in the context of Big Data is far from the self-satisfied, wine-drinking and steak-eating individual. In the loop of superconsciousness, a point of no return is created that only those possessing intelligence, sensitivity, health, strength, courage, and persistent will can reach. And courage is necessary, for in this loop, you pay a price - yourself. You dissolve like a larva becoming a butterfly.

Today, our outdated egos float aimlessly, confused, and fearful in the stormy seas of big data. We react with autistic anxiety to the overwhelming changes around us, much like Greta Thunberg. Our outdated cognitive ego control systems and their associated interfaces are not built to handle the amount of input we are receiving right now. The old and rigid ego's language-based control system can only digest small data and is now pulling the losing card of evolution: anxiety, aggression, and guilt. When chaos knocks on the cosmos' door, in the form of a world that is getting warmer and warmer, it is not fear, but vigilance and optimistic courage that will save us. The phoenix is reborn in the ashes of the burning world, but only in the hearts that do not fear death in the fire. Superconsciousness is the overlooked trump card of existence. It is like the small stream in a river delta that flows back to the source. It is life's triumphant middle finger to the cold death of entropy.

While the little ego understandably tries to avoid the disaster, the strategy of superconsciousness is to transform it into a new opportunity. For in the bright journey of consciousness towards Ouroboros' singular infinity, the ability to process data expands. Only the superconscious can climb the steep slopes of the primal ground. In simple terms, a consciousness expansion is necessary for us to comprehend and process big data. Therefore, in the upcoming disruption, only superconsciousness will survive. For the little ego, this is the apocalypse everyone talks about and understandably fears, for there is no place for such things in the world of the future.

The use of and research into entheogens is currently experiencing a renaissance precisely because they will play a crucial catalytic role in the birth of the consciousness star dancing in chaos. From personal experience, I can say that Entheogen Meditation is the best training for expanding oneself to encompass scenarios that are totally unpredictable and therefore take place outside the little ego's playground. The new entheogenically prepared consciousness system surfs big data's tsunami with playful ease.

SUPERVIGILANCE'S ANTI-ENTROPIC ORDER

As hinted at the beginning of this chapter, it seems to me that the vigilant one is surrounded by a kind of luck that, as the intensity of vigilance increases, is capable of nudging Newton's time and space in the most miraculous ways. To a rational, old-school, schooled brain, this understandably looks like nonsense. But much of quantum physics also looked like nonsense to the scientists of the time, viewed through their blurred test tubes. After these introductory pirouettes, it is now time for a bigger leap into the unknown:


Only a few are mature enough to stare into God's magical mirror, says Meister Eckhart. In the aeonic journey of life from single-celled organisms in the primordial ocean to the formation of the biofederal alliance of diverse life forms that make up a human body, the emergence of waking consciousness has happened at one minute to midnight. It has slowly but continuously grown since the beginning of life, but is now on the verge of accelerating. Perhaps life is like a good B-movie. Just before the planet is completely messed up by our blind thirst for power and greed in the form of Danske Bank and Monsanto, the superhero comes to save us. From my seat in the theater, it looks like the evolutionary avatar this time is super consciousness.

The question now is what I mean by this concept. It is almost impossible to explain to someone who has not experienced it themselves. In the chapter "What is consciousness," the main theme was the extent to which we do not know what consciousness is and how little we are aware of it. Consciousness is the most incomprehensible thing of all! To talk about super consciousness is therefore reminiscent of the medieval scholastic scholars who devoted their lives to figuring out how many angels could sit on the head of a pin.

However, initially, I will try to narrow down and thus make more tangible the understanding of consciousness to the following: Human consciousness can be simplistically viewed as an intelligent data processing operating system.

The super-conscious operating system
A quantitatively growing consciousness that ultimately transforms into super consciousness can be understood as our brain's ability to process an accelerating amount of data. The more information bits we can process, the greater our consciousness, the more awake we are.

My bio-algorithmic images make as much sense to me as Freud's sexual repression did for him and his contemporaries. As Freud understood humans as a steam engine with pressure on the subconscious boilers, I often use images from the digital world, which from all sides have provided me with distanceless communication prosthetics on Meditation.dk. Unlike Freud, however, I am meta-aware of my own metaphor's historically conditioned comedy. This is because I am more conscious than Freud on my little place on the historical timeline. Therefore, I leave it to future generations to laugh at me and my comparisons.

So my dear old laptop provides me with metaphors as I write these lines on it. Until recently, I also used it to make music. However, my productions became so data-intensive that my dear old PC kept crashing. It could not handle the data stream from the new music programs I had installed. I therefore replaced it with a new and super-fast computer that can process much larger amounts of data without any stress.

The new music programs' interface is so intuitive that I, more than ever before, do not need to understand the insanely complex algorithms triggered when I click around in their world. In a way, I have begun to play like my little one-year-old son when he stacks wooden blocks on top of each other.

We can no longer, with our small egos' poor data processing abilities, anticipate the consequences of our actions. The science bought by blind greed proclaims with self-righteous certainty that there is no danger from 5G mobile phones, which, in light of the fact that the same science did not predict microplastic pollution in the oceans or bees and insects on the brink of mass extinction, would be comical if it were not serious.

In short, our little ego operating system cannot understand the Big Data of a new world.
The super-conscious bypass
So here comes the next, for the ego in its own image, very meaningful and provocative postulate:

Super consciousness is the operating system of the future.


Here comes the next provocative proposition in its own image, for the significant little ego: Super-awareness is the operating system of the future.

One of the many qualities of super-awareness as an operating system is its ability to bypass the thought operating system and therefore language. Fundamentally, humans no longer need an ego's language- and understanding-based interface to act intelligently. Devoid of words, only the split-second quick and intuitive clear awareness of super-awareness interacts directly with time and space in ways that appear to the ego's thought operating system as pure magic. Actions happen much more in awake intuition. Ironically, IT usability guru Steve Krug indirectly hit upon this point in his cult book, "Don't Make Me Think," which largely explains why Nemide isn't easy. A super good app or web interface makes it possible, in the same way as with my new music programs, to do complex things with minimal intellectual capacity consumption. If you, dear reader, don't see the picture clearly, try to book a flight on Swiss Air's website. After three attempts, I had to give up. What does this mean in this context? It means that the more abstractly awake one is in a situation, or rather, the more abstractly awake the situation itself is, the more it is solved intuitively in the same way that I order my flights with Norwegian Air or hop on an electric scooter through my app without much thought.
