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 3 - LWC Book 3 - Curl to Cone

-This probably won't make much sense without reading the previous chapters and some blog posts.- If we extend a spacetime curl to loop again and again, we get a helix. Although, think about yourself, about where you would be in a helix like one of these. What would your perspective be, if you were looking out from (one of the momentary distributions that made up a short section of the helix's line,) the helical line? This is similar to the view from a roller coaster while riding it, versus the view of seeing that same roller coaster off to the side, on the ground, not riding it. Either way, you would not be in the straight centerline of the helix, would you?   But you  could  look out "to the side" from your position "on the roller coaster" to see more of the helix. Another (probably better) example is to imagine being on a spiral staircase, while trying to see up or down it. This (weird) perspective, from on the helix itself, means that any "looking ...

Chapter 2 - LWC Book 3 - Basic to Intermediate Rotations

How loopy are you feeling right now? Here are a few types of rotations to make some loops: This is pitch. This is yaw. This is roll. From the blogposts about the Lion Direction and the Crow Direction, you may remember that turning or rotating in 4D can look like this. Seeing just the 4D lines of each 4D angle, without seeing the block of the actual moment(ary distribution)s that they intersect, can look like this: But remember, spacetime is curved! It has a curl rate. The sun, moon, and stars have their own curling paths, that we use to monitor time . Their positions in space, and the time - are related. Their paths eventually curl so much that they loop! Seasonal and daily and monthly cycles and changes can happen this way. The sun, moon, and stars work together, so that each plant and animal doesn't have its own individual unique sense of time. Each organism has a circadian rhythm and seasonal pattern that is led by the celestial luminaries. The various "hands of this clock...
