Hypnagogia Vs Greene and Hugh Everett III





Hypnagogia

The brief transition between wakefulness and sleep we experience each night has been known by many names: the ‘borderland state’, the ‘half-dream state’, the ‘pre-dream condition’. Its technical name is the hypnagogic state and, along with dreaming, it is one of the most fascinating altered states of consciousness we can experience without the use of drugs. In the hypnagogic state, visions, voices, weird insights and unusual sensations greet us as we drift out of consciousness. Faces may appear, threatening or comical. A landscape may open up, with distant mountains and wide, expansive vistas. Geometric forms, jewels, diamonds and intricate patterns may dance before our mind’s eye, not unlike those seen under the influence of certain psychoactive substances. Splashes of colour, flares, sparks and cloud-like forms-known as ‘entoptic lights’, ‘phosphenes’ or eigenlicht, may drift through our drowsing consciousness, accompanied by strange, nonsensical sentences announcing portentous truths. We may feel we are floating, or that our body has grown to enormous proportions, or that we have suddenly grasped the answer to the riddle of the Universe.

Quid pro Quo



Field of dreams
In Einstein's day, the strong and weak forces had not yet been discovered, but he found the existence of even two distinct forces—gravity and electromagnetism—deeply troubling. Einstein did not accept that nature is founded on such an extravagant design. This launched his 30-year voyage in search of the so-called unified field theory that he hoped would show that these two forces are really manifestations of one grand underlying principle. This quixotic quest isolated Einstein from the mainstream of physics, which, understandably, was far more excited about delving into the newly emerging framework of quantum mechanics. He wrote to a friend in the early 1940's, "I have become a lonely old chap who is mainly known because he doesn't wear socks and who is exhibited as a curiosity on special occasions."
Einstein was simply ahead of his time. More than half a century later, his dream of a unified theory has become the Holy Grail of modern physics. And a sizeable part of the physics and mathematics community is becoming increasingly convinced that string theory may provide the answer. From one principle—that everything at its most microscopic level consists of combinations of vibrating strands—string theory provides a single explanatory framework capable of encompassing all forces and all matter.-Brian Greene.(

And,



- Insight from Hugh Everett III - An interpretation, presented first by Hugh Everett III in 1957, is the many worlds or branching universe interpretation. In this theory, whenever a measurement takes place, the entire universe divides as many times as there are possible outcomes of the measurement. All universes are identical except for the outcome of that measurement. Unlike the science fiction view of "parallel universes", it is not possible for any of these worlds to interact with each other.(http://library.thinkquest.org/3487/qp.html )



-Or is it?



Squid:



In the hypnagogic state, the visions, voices, weird insights and unusual sensations that greet us can be interpreted as the result of string vibrations from a parallel. In turn, persuading all forces and all matter of it's path. Including, that of our own mental chemicals by interacting with our unconscious. (our spiritual center or spiritual string if you will.) In this way, our world is not identical to the communicator's because it is the outcome. Which is exhibited by perception and therefore unable to be measured and coincidently not real.



On a daily bases: -When ever people have caught me staring blankly and have asked me, "What are you thinking about?" I haven't been able to put my quandaries to words. Now I can say, "I'm concerned I might be becoming a quirky character."



A thought to ponder:

Animals have a relationship and communicate with God's parallel creatures through hypnagognic communication. That's why they sleep so much.



Imagine: God is equally as finite as God is infinite.
