More about Animalian Directions (Crow/Raven)


 This is part of the series on the Book of Job.


The idea behind animalian directions goes something like this. The Deity spoke about animals to Job, and I now believe these may be something like "4D" directions. The sequence of animalians is significant, akin to the sequence of directions when spinning around or turning in "3D".



This cube with a person inside, represents a "3D" space, specifically a moment of time.




This row of cubes represents a timeline, a series of moments, each with their own distribution of matter and energy. Notice how in this example, the person has moved to a new placement in the distribution of matter and energy, as the moments appear in the row from right to left.



Any of these cubes could have another row attached to it. This middle cube or middle momentary distribution (of matter and energy) has another row of cubes that fit perpendicularly with the other row. If someone wanted to turn (180°) around in "3D", it might look like:



If someone wanted to turn ("90°") in "4D" space, it might look like:



There might be multiple "4D" directions. These might be like more rows attached to a cube at which a "4D" turn happens:



And there might be many "4D" directions. This is similar to there being many "3D" directions (360° for a turn left to right, but also 360° turning up and down).



And a "4D" turn can happen at any of the cubes.













If consciousness includes a few of the moments of the past and also a few anticipating moments of possible immediate futures, then it it might be modeled like:



This anticipation of some possible immediately future moments, and short-term memory of a few moments of the past, is a sort of "4D" sight. Or, it could be called sight with some "4D" depth.


A person may not have to move in "3D" space in order to look at a different direction in "4D".


And since this is the case, and because multiple eyes see at multiple angles, and because "3D front" and "3D back" are not the same as "4D front" and "4D back", it may even be possible to see some ahead and some behind in "4D" both at the same time.

 

Since lightwaves are some of the fastest things yet known to science, a lightwave is used in the following model. It causes changes quickly and early compared to other changes to distributions. Lightwaves tend to have a high priority in consciousness. When a lightwave moves forward, it makes a new unique distribution of matter and energy. So every new space that a wave of light takes when it moves forward, makes a new distribution.


Many times, consciousness may be slow enough to not keep up with every small change of a lightwave. So those thinner narrower rectangular boxes in the model above, each containing a change of a lightwave, may be perceived by regular human consciousness to be much wider, containing much more of the lightwave. It may not notice the small changes, and so the momentary distributions for that consciousness may be divided into larger sections. The distributions may overlap due to changes being integrated together as they are noticed. The "puzzle-pieces" of changes to the lightwave are combined over time with the previous moments stored in very short-term memory. See LWC Book 1, Cycle of Consciousness, specifically CMM, for more information. Consciousness can guess which distributional piece gets overlapped to produce a length of lightwave that is associated with some concept. This is much like a puzzle, that has pieces that are combined over time to add to the picture, which is an instance of the same concept seen over multiple collected and integrated/overlapping moments. This instance of a concept would be the like a picture shown on a completed "2D" puzzle (or an incomplete picture shown on an incomplete "2D" puzzle).



This overlapping may contribute to how consciousness can perceive the fading perception of time, fading to the past and future and to perhaps non-physical "4D" directions, until the common limits of depth of "4D" sight (and other senses in "4D"). This might be similar to the common limits of depth of "3D" sight (and other "3D" senses). If so, this could allow humans to choose a focal depth as the physical eyes can do, for example, choosing to blur the closer foreground or to blur the distant background of sight -- but for "4D" depth.

Time is cyclical in many ways. The sun cycles daily. The moon cycles monthly. There exists another cycle for most stars. There is a yearly cycle of seasons. And many biorhythms are cyclical, including breathing and heartbeat. I believe it would make sense to model time also as cyclical. It would be curving or curling, until it makes loops, making cycles along the way, making a helical spiral, so that it looks like a coil, of distributions.








But now take a look at a simple curve. In this example, the momentary distributions are shown as dominos.


For now, think of the rotations between momentary distributions as causing difficulty in "4D" sight. Difficulty in "4D" sight might not always be due to limits of "4D" spatial depth-perception. Difficulty with "4D" sight might also be because of any type of fading: fading into the potential future, into the past, or into some imagined, virtual, or visualized direction. If energy or effort is required to imagine something (for example, proprioceptionally) and/or to visualize, then whatever imaginations or thoughts that need energy, to be perceived, which are beyond the efforts which were made, then that is effectively beyond perception as like "4D" depth at some energetic limit (as opposed to, but integrated with a temportal or spatial limit). If effort starts to be made to imagine, and then effort is stopped (stopped in time and/or stopped in space), then whatever would have been beyond that effort, was probably past a "4D" energetic limit, albeit that limit could change with more energy or effort, in that specific (temporal-spatial) direction. It would be more of an ROS than a limit. See LWC books for details on ROS's.


(Consciousness might include more than 5 moments. This row is just for the purpose of a general example.) Extending this model, any momentary distributions (moments) that are far back enough in the row (here, that would be starting at a sixth unshown cube added to the right side of the row) would begin to be unperceived, fading from conscious perception, and allowing focus and coe to be placed on or towards new sensations coming from the left side of the row, from imagined potential immediate futures, and from passive sensory data, both having momentary distributions branching in various "4D" directions to the left, out from the central cube, and one branch of two cube-moments long that branches from the central cube, is shown in this model above.

Consider now the crow / raven / blackbird animalian "4D" direction. I believe it may be the first direction, in that the sixth unshown cube in the above model, as gradually cubes in the row may naturally or passively rotate or curve or turn (given no extra influences). (Like how the dominos in a picture above gradually turned as the row went on.) This may be the cause of the fading out of consciousness from short-term memories at the right side of the center cube in the row shown in model above. In the Bible, the crow or raven, probably a blackbird of some kind, could sound like "Uh-reb", as it is written in Hebrew. The Hebrew letters are ערב. Since ancient Hebrew was a language written without many vowels, (although there are some vowels like aleph א ) it is difficult to know how to always accurately pronounce each word, without more historical data. Therefore, my current system of ancient Hebrew pronunciation is a practical, phonetic one. That is, if someone speaks with this system of pronunciation, any hearer should be able to know exactly how to spell the words in ancient Hebrew. It may not be completely accurate to the ancient pronunciations, but it is accurate to ancient literature, which is what we have today as the oldest records yet known, and is the way that the Deity's words are recorded in the book of Job. So please excuse and understand that Hebrew words in many of my writings are using this phonetic system, instead of systems of translation which may be popularly standard at this time. With my system, I am prioritizing accurate reproduction of the Hebrew spelling, as it is written, and accurate and consistent transliteration into English letters.

(And most vowels are assumed to be eh unless exceptions)


In the book of Job, the Deity speaks of uhreb as one of the first animals in a list in Job 38-39. As in the story of Noah, uhreb is associated with going out from a person or place, and not returning. In Job 38:41, the children or young of uhreb are described as wandering about because they lack something to eat. Abraham uses the same verb, meaning wander, in Genesis 20:13, when speaking of how the Deity caused him to wander away from his parent's house. In these three cases, Noah's story, Abraham's story, and the description in the book of Job, uhreb is related to leaving something behind and going elsewhere, in some direction. This fits well with uhreb as an animalian direction, which is what happens to the coe of momentary distributions that are left behind, because consciousness moves ahead in some other direction, wandering away and not (usually) returning to that same exact physical distribution.

The ancient Hebrew spelling of this animal / animalian is also the same exact spelling for ערב which can mean evening or becoming darker or dimmer in the evening, which also could relate to recently past distributions getting dimmer and dimmer from present consciousness. Readers of ancient Hebrew would have likely at least thought subconsciously of many of the various meanings spelled by the same letters of this word. This word also has the same spelling for a word meaning 'to mix' or 'mixture', such as one people-group mixing with another people-group. Perhaps mixing may happen in consciousness (in some process related to CMM). When sensory data from the present, mixes with the past, it allows recognition of instances of concepts. However, if the mixture becomes oversaturated with more and more new data, and with more and more thoughts, and with any more other mental activity and with other changes to focus, then the focus on that specific thing may be lost, which is what happens when some focus is mixed and diluted with other focal activity until it is unrecognizable and so replaced with other focuses. It goes out of (or away from) present conscious perception (although in some cases it could have only been a few moments ago). Perhaps this happens when coe goes into the uhreb direction. There may be other meanings of this word, that converge with uhreb / crow as a possible animalian direction as well, but I believe this is a fair amount of initial evidence for this subtheory to be considered.

Where can we find more teaching to help us understand more about crows? In the Messiah's teaching, in the words of Ἰησοῦς in the gospels. If children of crows / uhreb wander around for lack of food, then where can we learn more about their feeding habits that will help us understand the transition to the next animalian direction?

Chapter 6 - LWC Book 3 - The Fifth Jhana

This starts out after the previous Jhana .  The Fifth Jh āna  ( ākāsānañcāyatana ): "And at this point it is said: With the complete surmounting  of perceptions of matter, with the disappearance of perceptions of resistance, with non-attention to perceptions of variety, [aware of] ‘unbounded space,’ he enters upon and dwells in the base consisting of boundless [infinite] space." The fifth Jhana was described in this way by Buddhist scriptures by meditators much later than the Buddha. So, while I take objection with the exact quote above, the core idea is the same. You will see what I mean. Anyway, in my theory, the  Fifth Jhāna  involves: Opening the doors between alternate spaces ( tank!s ). Dividing pressures and focus between momentary spaces practiced from the previous Jhana , are used to stack onto each other sort of like Lego blocks in space (with a main space as a reference). This allows the meditator to stack spaces to make a large composite space that s...

Chapter 4 - LWC Book 3 - The Jhanas 1 to 3

If you've meditated, you've probably have heard about the Jhānas. They are unique mental states of consciousness. They are described in old Buddhist scriptures. In the Sanskrit, they are called  dhyāna . And for LWC theory, I interpret each Jhana uniquely. Notes for the interested: Buddha’s teachings on the jhānas appear in the Majjhima Nikāya (e.g., MN 8, MN 111, MN 119), Dīgha Nikāya , and others.  The Visuddhimagga, by Buddhaghosa (5th century CE), gives a systematic explanation, and adds  technical elaboration. ⚠️ Note on the Use of Jhanas in LWC Theory While LWC Theory uses the terms “Jhana” and “Jhanic Masses,” it does not pursue the same goal as classical Buddhist meditation systems. In Buddhism, the Jhanas are progressively used to dissolve the ego and reach a state of no-self , especially by the 7th and 8th Jhanas, where entitial identity is vaporized through full opening of all internal and external doors. LWC Theory differs. The goal is not egolessness , ...

Chapter 5 - LWC Book 3 - The Fourth Jhana

-This chapter is a continuation from Chapter 4. You can find more about the first 3 Jhanas there .-  The Fourth Jhāna  ( catuttha-jhāna ): "With the abandoning of pleasure and pain, and with the previous disappearance of joy and grief, a bhikkhu enters upon and abides in the fourth jhāna, which has neither-pain-nor-pleasure and purity of mindfulness due to equanimity." In my theory, the  Fourth Jhāna  involves: Opening the doors between moments.  Mixing focus between the moments by opening the doors between them. During some meditative states, and especially in the first 3 Jhanas, time is not really a factor. It is hard to tell if a second has passed, an hour, or a day -  because the emphasis is not really on any physical reference. It is like meditating in one big long moment. In the visual terms of the previous chapters, Jhāna 1, 2, and 3 are in the big long rectangular shape without significant internal or external borders.  Non-meditation...
