How it began:

For awhile I had an ongoing internet conversation with an individual who expressed an interest in the sui generis; I engaged them in sometimes long Skype and chat conversations that explored various elements of the sui generis platform and the absence of the notion of any kind of dominant ‘god’ or force preventing the evolution its full expression.

Then came the conversation that became an exploration of new age spiritual premises in which the correspondent stated that children are, through a series of imagined ‘contracts’ in the spiritual realm, responsible for their abuse.

My question: “Are you telling me that children who are preyed upon are playing the victim? Just to make it clear?”

Response: “I am telling you. YES TELLING YOU. that it is possible to enter a reality where that was YOUR call to make. to be predated upon, just to be clear”

This individual then sent me the following document to explain how this works in their model: as my deconstruction progressed they moderated their perspective by telling me that a later version asserted the Universal Self as ‘schizophrenic’ and that this ameliorated the conflicts within the model as it was written. It didn’t ameliorate the conflicts for me and, in fact, increased them.

I was intrigued by the process that I engaged with in examining and confronting this kind of belief system. In it I recognized the roots and insidious tendrils of the ancient belief systems from which the monolithic, monodeity and patriarchal control religions sprang and in deconstructing this intellectually I found my Self engaging in a deeply emotional clearing of vestigial demons of my own experience with Judeo-Christianity and its offspring.

I decided to chronicle my process so that I had, for my Self, the internal platform that allows me to dismiss with my own internal clarity the smoke and mirrors logic of those that refuse to engage the physical as meaningful in any way; the ‘spirituality’ that decries the sui generis while claiming to embrace it, the contorted rationalisations that create the illusion of one thing- a form of ‘spiritual enlightenment’- while achieving an entirely different aim altogether. I have found it absolutely freeing to undergo this process; perhaps Others might also.

This is the original model as sent to me:

A note on gender: Where “man” is used, “woman” is inclusively implied. Where “him” is used, “her” is inclusively implied. 

The Basic Model 

There are three components that make up the parts of what we consider “us” and the Universe. They are the Observer, the Ego and the Self. I will identify each part and then explain how they are related. 

The Self

To eliminate confusion, as often we refer to our “self” as being “us”, An explanation is in order. This “me” is not what is indicated by the term “Self” in this document. The Self is the “Spirit Within”. The Holy Bible refers to it as the “Holy Spirit”. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism refer to the “Atman”. There is one Self, shared by all, and it is part of Ø (pronounced “Ahn”) or what man calls “Truth”, “Allah”, “The Source”, “Love”, “God” etc. I often refer to it as the Supreme Authority as there is no thing or non-thing that subverts or infringes on its power, will, and authority. Ø is not the Universe but the Universe is part of and is produced by Ø.

The Self is the “positive” (aggregative, inclusive) aspect of the duality and provides positive reinforcement in the life experience along with purpose and meaning. It is what we know of as the True Self, the “Holy Spirit”, Ø or that which man calls “God”. It is actually only an aspect, one facet of the Creator, but it is one in essence with that which man calls God. When one perceives the Universe in a Left-Brained way, Self appears as separate from us. As we exist in left-brain until we are released, we must operate as if Self is external to us such that we must ask Self for our release. 

If there is something that we see as a true limit, boundary, principle or law then its source is the Self. The universal Self controls the simulation that we call the Universe and remains both tangibly outside the universe and invisible to our senses within the Universe. The Self governs the learning experience of the Observer through control exerted over Ego. Ultimately the Self/Ø controls all aspects of the Observer’s learning experience. The Self is singular and all Observers share this singular, all-controlling “spirit”. Self determines what knowledge the Observer has access to though a conduit connecting the Observer to the universal mind.

The Observer

That which truly makes us unique is not the persona (Ego) or the “Spirit Within” (Self/Ø). We are merely Observers viewing the interplay of duality between Ego and Self as just one of the multiple facets or eyes of Ø. 

The Ego

Ego, the “negative (segregative, exclusive) aspect of the duality, creates perceived external enemies and friends and is responsible for all pain and suffering. This pain and suffering is used by the Self to give the Observer uncomfortable life experience in order to teach the observer valuable lessons that only pain and suffering can provide such that it is remembered. Because of this operation, it is often referred to (by the Ego itself, ironically) as the “Satan” figure. 

The Reality Movie

The Ego and the Self act together to project reality to the Observer. The Ego creates negative experience to provide an educational presentation to the Observer. It is a protective mechanism that has taken over the typical man or woman’s life experience. Ego is often mistaken for the thing we call “me”. It provides the illusion of a physical universe outside of us and casts other individuals as friends or enemies. This is an illusion or a delusion, as Ego creates the illusory perception of separateness, accident, future and past. The illusion of potent free will is also a construct of Ego and it is possible that Ego projects our perceived will backward in time such that it appears to arrive before the actual physical expression of an ostensible choice on our part.

Ego, as part of its presentation of the physical universe, provides sensory and emotional feedback to the observer. Ego is associated with left-brain function and governs spoken and written language, logic and the appearance of “doing”. The Ego, in a very real sense, controls the universe. However, the Self controls Ego, but usually people allow it unfettered control to create negative reinforcement in their lives without any limits. This lack of control leads to a build up of unprocessed life lessons that obscures the Truth/Self/Ø/Holy Spirit from the Observer. The build-up, or backlog of lessons is created by the process explained below.

The Repression Process

In its primary role as a defense mechanism the Ego represses uncomfortable experience to protect the Observer from the harshness of it. These memories often become buried under others. The fact that the Observer cannot even remember the memories’ existence renders them invisible to the Observer. Thus, the Observer is unable to process the negative life experiences for the positive purposes for which they were intended and manifested by the Self. The apparent paradox of Ego serving as both inflicter of pain and protector is solved by realizing that the Ego has no real, substantive existence of its own. It is a construct of learned patterns. There is nothing real to protect, as there is no real enemy, and no real death. Thus, Ego places its own survival at the highest priority (for the discovery of the benign nature of existence would strip it of its power and potentially its existence), and through multiplicity of projected enemies is capable of projecting very intense, realistic hell experiences for the Observer. 

The Means of Communicating the Process of Escape.

Left-Brain/Ego communicates in written and spoken words and this is why descriptions about existing in Right-Brain/Self are difficult because we lack the language to describe it. In reality the lack of context requires one to describe the Right-Brain paradigm not as what it is, but rather what it is not. Similarly to enter the right paradigm one does not “do” something or think something rather it requires non-“doing” and non-thinking. This is a passive act of repression by the Ego. Said another way: One cannot find the door out. One must stop and wait for the door to find them. Another way to understand it is that the Ego produces the structure of the door and a left-brain key. It takes a left-brained action to turn the key and open the door. Once outside the door the key and the door are meaningless and this is why the process must be done from a Left-Brain/Ego paradigm. The left-brain paradigm is as a “room”, a containment that one leaves in the described transition, rather than the transition being an entering “into” anything. Since the Ego hates not being in control, calming it to a point where one is able to practice the appropriate “non-action” is quite difficult.

Operating in the Self

The primary objective is to attenuate the function of Ego such that Self determines the conduct and course of the simulation (Life experience). This is gained through entering into a contract with Ø. The entry into this contract is not something that is performed, but an acceptance of the ultimate control of Ø in one’s life, which is to say, one gives up the ability to act contrary to the will of Ø (which ability is in itself an illusion to begin with, it must be remembered!). It is not what we do; it is what we stop doing. Left-brain Ego cannot understand what place it it going to. It can at best understand that it is a better place and that Ego-based communications are inadequate to describe this “better place”. This is why parable and metaphor are required. Ego cannot pass accurate concepts of the “better place” to the Observer as it lacks the ability. Apprehension of the nature of the “heavenly realm” is a Yin (feminine, yielding) action and not a Yang (masculine, pushing) action. One does not open the door; one allows the door to be opened. Perhaps the greatest challenge, and indeed the primary goal of the life experience itself is this achievement, since the process must be done from a left-brain perspective. The process has no meaning in the right-brain paradigm. 

The Purpose and Nature of the Universe

The Universe is a virtual simulation, created by Ø for the purpose of exploring its own nature. It is practice and we are here specifically to fail and learn from that failure. We as spiritual beings came here by contract to learn and evolve. Who we were born to and the general lessons we were to take from our lives was understood by our Observers, prenatally, through the willing acceptance of a contract with Ø, the details of which are intentionally hidden from the Ego (but not from the Self or Observer) so that we could learn (meet the challenge of illusory ignorance) and take our experience seriously.

    Recap: 

    The Self, controlling the Ego, creates our experience for the conscious observer. The Self is the “Holy Spirit” or the “spirit within us”. 

    The Ego appears to have control but the self retains control in all things.

    We as Observers are therefore protected from anything the Ego gets itself into. 

    Operating in the Ego can only precipitate a series of negative reinforcement as that is its function. 

    To minimize suffering, the Ego needs to be placed back to its proper role (facilitator/projector for the illusion of separateness) so as to allow the Observer an unfettered view of the events and lessons the Self creates for it. 

    The Universe is practice. One must understand that we came here to learn, and the fastest way to learn is to make mistakes. 

    People must face the uncomfortable experiences that they have amassed through the course of their lives instead of allowing the Ego to repress the memories through fear and aversion.

    Our “negative” characteristics and memories must be introspectively investigated such that we can learn the positive lesson from these negative experiences, otherwise the Self will force us to relive and relearn the lesson over and over.

Until this “negative” content is purged it serves as an obstacle to the proper contact with the Self

    People must forgive themselves for their errors and shortcomings because we must remember we came here specifically to fail

    The Self allows the Ego to create suffering, pain and stress to focus our attention on the lessons we must learn. Pain, suffering and stress thus serve a perfectly logical and good purpose.

The following is my original deconstruction; part two is my response using the model of the sui generis. Note that although the writer co-opts my Godel Self model as a simile for ø, this has no similarity whatsoever to the original context in which I shared and explained the concept to them; in the sui generis, the Godel Self does not in any way indicate an Overmind.

The Self

To eliminate confusion, as often we refer to our “self” as being “us”, An explanation is in order. This “me” is not what is indicated by the term “Self” in this document. The Self is the “Spirit Within”. The Holy Bible refers to it as the “Holy Spirit”. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism refer to the “Atman”. There is one Self, shared by all, and it is part of Ø (pronounced “Ahn”) or what man calls “Truth”, “Allah”, “The Source”, “Love”, “God” etc. I often refer to it as the Supreme Authority as there is no thing or non-thing that subverts or infringes on its power, will, and authority.

So this Universal Self, Supreme Authority, is already all it can ever be- which indicates that it has no possibility of further evolution, which makes it useless in the Multiverse. Hmm. Interesting.

We are immediately introduced to an external authority (although I’m aware that further in the model you assert, through a series of mechanisms, that this ø isn’t an external authority: essentially you have introduced exactly the same construct as every dominator religion on the planet; this then requires a ‘faith’ or ‘belief’ that cannot be substantiated and thus already shapes itself to be something that must be accepted as dogma in order to work. This is anathema to the foundational premises on which I created the sui generis platform: the sui generis seeks to explore all possibilities including those in which there is no such construct as a ‘supreme authority’.

Ø is not the Universe but the Universe is part of and is produced by Ø.

In the model you have presented, this Univeral Self has no Godel Self as I originally presented the concept; within the tenets of Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem this would mean that this Universal Self is a part of a system that it can never fully know : it can’t get outside itself and thus see its own limitations which results in all of the parts created by that Self having the same limitation of perspective. Whatever this Universal Self might be in your model it is not and can never be ‘supreme’: there are things that it does not and cannot know because of the construct it exists inside and cannot see beyond. 

Your model requires, as part of this foundational premise, the belief in or experience of this ‘Supreme Authority’ as ‘all knowing’. Within the parameters of your construct this is not possible, as I’ve just demonstrated; it is your foundation upon which everything else flows and thus must be the Absolute Dogma, without which the rest of your premise fails.

At its simplest analysis this is simply virus control in the form of Church dogma repackaged for a larger, more inclusive audience. It doesn’t surprise me in the least that a) the Virus morphed in this way because it’s able to do that and b) that individuals fell for the repackaging because they do all the time.

In the Sui Generis, I have created a platform that requires no dogma whatsoever to implement, no belief in any external ‘authority’ is necessary (and is, in fact, often anathema), no individual must bow to a concept or world view that they do not resonate to. You have nothing but human tradition and so-called ‘holy’ writings to back up your premise and assertions, yet Godel’s Theorem indicates that there is another view that can be taken; that this Theorem is in the multiverse indicates that it’s actually already present in frequency possibility, which means there are places where your view regarding Supreme Authorities are inconsequential and irrelevant.

“The Self is the “positive” (aggregative, inclusive) aspect of the duality and provides positive reinforcement in the life experience along with purpose and meaning. It is what we know of as the True Self, the “Holy Spirit”, Ø or that which man calls “God”. It is actually only an aspect, one facet of the Creator, but it is one in essence with that which man calls God. When one perceives the Universe in a Left-Brained way, Self appears as separate from us. As we exist in left-brain until we are released, we must operate as if Self is external to us such that we must ask Self for our release.”

This is straight up control; while any individual must ‘ask’ for release they have no free will. You are talking about a totalitarian universal model; the Universal Self again has created a bunch of toys with which to amuse itself, none of which have any volition or freedom. Individuals here in the corporate governed world recognize that if they must ask for freedom then they don’t have it even if it’s ‘granted’ them- what gives with one hand can just as easily take with the other.

The Universal Self provides the purpose and meaning, not the individual, yet the Universal Self has no concept of embodiment except through observation and speculation: unless a Being has actually experienced embodiment it can have nothing but speculation and thought experiment. A life lived through one’s children is only a remote approximation of living that life first hand; it doesn’t  work in the micro and it’s not going to work in the macro. Just as a parent assuming that they know what their adult child is thinking and feeling- and that thus they are some kind of authority on what’s best for that adult child- same goes for your Universal Self: it can have only Observer approximation of what being embodied is actually like and thus can only have a best guess approximation of what might best serve that individual based on its own limited comprehension and fictions.

As pointed out earlier, this Universal Self is already operating in a limited perspective based on its lack of Godel Self- ‘outside itself’ perspective- so at best it’s always just having a bit of a guess: it doesn’t matter that this guess might be far more comprehensive than the embodied Observer that it’s manipulating, that’s beside the point: the point I’m making is to deconstruct the model at its flawed core. The model of Universal Self as a Supreme Authority is thus again demonstrably unsupportable.

I’m not interested in the guff around this Universal Self being some kind of ‘loving’ Being, that’s just wishful thinking because if they’re not- and they’re really just mucking about for their own amusement-  then we really ARE all royally screwed: better to exist in cosmic Stockholm Syndrome than to consider that perhaps the Great Green Head of Oz is actually a controlling force that prevents- by its very existence- any real spiritual or cosmic evolution from occurring. Woe betide said Universal Self if the minions figure out they don’t actually need it…

“If there is something that we see as a true limit, boundary, principle or law then its source is the Self. The universal Self controls the simulation that we call the Universe and remains both tangibly outside the universe and invisible to our senses within the Universe. The Self governs the learning experience of the Observer through control exerted over Ego. Ultimately the Self/Ø controls all aspects of the Observer’s learning experience. The Self is singular and all Observers share this singular, all-controlling “spirit”.

You are essentially describing a hive mind; how is this a useful universal or spiritual model?

In Star Trek, this was called The Borg and the only difference is that you have assumed a benevolent  appearance for your Supreme Authority/One Mind.  There is absolutely no difference in the model you are demonstrating: one Mind controlling a host that has absolutely no free will, that only exists to serve the intentions and desires of the Mind and that is utterly dependent on that Mind for its entire existence.

“Self determines what knowledge the Observer has access to though a conduit connecting the Observer to the universal mind.”

Let’s just look at this from a sui generis perspective. Here you are stating that the Universal Self controls the simulation that we experience as Universe; not only does it do this, it also controls all aspects of the Observer’s learning experience though control exerted over the Ego. Thus, the Universal Mind’s control exists within everything it already knows; to the Observer there is nothing that it can experience which the Universal Self is not in control of.

Evolution requires growth outside what already IS; evolution occurs when that which hasn’t already been thought of/done comes into play; this is the nature of the sui generis multiverse, the organization of the Cosmic Mind into a system where the infinite possibilities of evolution are able to play out without the dissonance that the Virus has created.

The Observer

That which truly makes us unique is not the persona (Ego) or the “Spirit Within” (Self/Ø). We are merely Observers viewing the interplay of duality between Ego and Self as just one of the multiple facets or eyes of Ø.

Sui generis says you are utterly free to believe and follow *whatever you wish* and this is absolutely so providing that your ‘authority’ ENDS with you; your world perspective presented here in your writing demonstrates that this is actually not so, that you believe there is an entity that is controlling every aspect of the Observer’s experience, in which case the Observer has no free will. The Observer is merely a toy in Sid’s Backyard, there at the whim and direction of the Universal Self; the Universal Self is engaging in nothing more than manipulation and idle self amusement, unable to triangulate anything beyond what it already knows because it has set itself up as the controller and indisputable Authority.

The Ego

Ego, the “negative (segregative, exclusive) aspect of the duality, creates perceived external enemies and friends and is responsible for all pain and suffering. This pain and suffering is used by the Self to give the Observer uncomfortable life experience in order to teach the observer valuable lessons that only pain and suffering can provide such that it is remembered. Because of this operation, it is often referred to (by the Ego itself, ironically) as the “Satan” figure.

Just to get this clear: the Observer has no free will and is utterly controlled by the Universal Self to the degree where it is “merely…viewing the interplay of duality etc” so it has no ability to act on its own behalf. So essentially the Universal Self is torturing the Observer under the guise of ‘spiritual’ education through “uncomfortable life experience”- and this is supposed to be a healthy model.

The Reality Movie

The Ego and the Self act together to project reality to the Observer.

The Observer who is still passively receiving this agony, unable to act in any way.

The Ego creates negative experience to provide an educational presentation to the Observer. It is a protective mechanism that has taken over the typical man or woman’s life experience. Ego is often mistaken for the thing we call “me”. It provides the illusion of a physical universe outside of us and casts other individuals as friends or enemies. This is an illusion or a delusion, as Ego creates the illusory perception of separateness, accident, future and past. The illusion of potent free will is also a construct of Ego and it is possible that Ego projects our perceived will backward in time such that it appears to arrive before the actual physical expression of an ostensible choice on our part.

Ego, as part of its presentation of the physical universe, provides sensory and emotional feedback to the observer. Ego is associated with left-brain function and governs spoken and written language, logic and the appearance of “doing”.

This is entirely your own supposition and misinterpretation of how ‘mind’ works; this perception is also based on some 19^th century viewpoints of a split between spirit and Being that the quantum floor perspective kicked in the gonads almost 100 years ago.

The Ego, in a very real sense, controls the universe. However, the Self controls Ego, but usually people

Wait, there are ‘people’? What ‘people’? Where did these ‘people’ come from? What are they?

allow it

‘allow’- they have the ability to affect their circumstance or the actions of the other elements? How, in this model? If they have the ability to change things ‘people’ can’t be the Observer: as ‘it’ seems to indicate the ‘Ego’ and ‘people’ definitely isn’t the Universal Supreme Authority, I’m genuinely mystified as to who these mysterious ‘people’ are

unfettered control to create negative reinforcement in their lives without any limits.

Again I say- allow? The model as presented doesn’t have free will in it- and this part of the your model indicates that this is intentional because ‘free will’ is actually nothing more than a construct and manipulation of Ego. Given that you’ve already said that the Observer has no capacity to do anything but Observe, and the Ego (in tandem with the Universal Self) is the one at the helm of the entire unpleasant experience the Observer is being subjected to, again, who are these ‘people’ that are ‘allowing’ Ego unfettered control?

This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever because in your model, the only entity allowing Ego unfettered control would be that which you assert controls the Ego, which would be the Universal Self, which leads us back to the increasing viewpoint of the Universal Self as a rather nasty minded individual who likes to torture elements of itself. This leads us to the suspicion that the Universal Self may, in fact, have a mental disorder of some kind, in part demonstrated by an inclination to Universal Self harm…

This lack of control leads to a build up of unprocessed life lessons that obscures the Truth/Self/Ø/Holy Spirit from the Observer. The build-up, or backlog of lessons is created by the process explained below.

So, any usefulness that the Observer may have served in the beginning of this process is diminished over time by the very process of engaging in the sadism of the Universal Self. Who exactly has this ‘lack of control’ is a mystery, yet it apparently allows the Ego in this model to make the Observer’s life ‘hell’.

The Repression Process

In its primary role as a defense mechanism the Ego represses uncomfortable experience to protect the Observer from the harshness of it.

“The Ego creates negative experience to provide an educational presentation to the Observer”.

Let’s get this clear again: in this model, the Universal Self controls the Ego, which creates the negative experience ostensibly to provide an ‘educational’ presentation to the Observer. The Observer, as previously clarified, has no power or free will and is effectively at the mercy of the Ego (and thus the Universal Self) while the Ego creates situations that it then needs to ‘protect’ the Observer from.

The Ego is thus engaging in a cosmic form of Munchausen Syndrome by proxy: it’s the psychotic parent making its ‘child’ ill so that it can ‘save’ the child from the illness. And this is ok because… the Universal Self says so, because ‘suffering is good for the soul’?

These memories often become buried under others. The fact that the Observer cannot even remember the memories’ existence renders them invisible to the Observer. Thus, the Observer is unable to process the negative life experiences for the positive purposes for which they were intended and manifested by the Self.

“We are merely Observers viewing the interplay of duality between Ego and Self as just one of the multiple facets or eyes of Ø.”

In your model, the Observer has no power and is controlled by the Ego; the Ego is controlled by the Universal Self and “The Self governs the learning experience of the Observer through control exerted over Ego. Ultimately the Self/Ø controls all aspects of the Observer’s learning experience.” 

And yet it is the Observer that is considered to be ‘unable to process the negative life experiences’ inflicted on it for the ‘positive purposes for which they were intended’ because of a function of Ego over which the Observer has absolutely no control. In other words, this is the blame the victim philosophy: this is classic abuser logic, in which the abuser/s act towards their target while blaming their target for the abuse they are engaging in. 

Unsurprisingly, this is also the logic that has been used by the majority of organized religions since their inception: blame the individual via various constructs of ‘born in sin’ etc for whatever happens to them even when what is happening to them is a direct action of the Church through its engagement with secular power playing and acquisition of wealth. Here it is the Observer, “That which truly makes us unique” that is caught in the crossfire between two entities that carry all the power- it is the sui generis of the Being that is being held accountable and tortured in the guise of ‘positive learning’.

An interesting model indeed: in North Korea and other totalitarian regimes it’s been called ‘re-education’, ‘corrective indoctrination’ and a whole host of other things: essentially what we are looking at in your model is one in which the Observer is continually being ‘educated’ through painful- and sometimes deadly- experiences at the whim of the Universal Self for an outcome that, due to the Ego, the Observer cannot even satisfy. The Observer cannot end its “experience” because it has neither ability to do so nor the information to satisfy its torturers- through no fault of its own it doesn’t know what the playing field is or what hoops it is expected to jump through in order to stop the pain because there are no demands, no parameters, no clear pattern in which the experience could end- even if the Observer could learn the lesson it can’t do anything with it: what ‘lesson’ is there that an entity that has no volition, no free will and no power can have that will be meaningful and, more importantly, have a positive purpose?

I know this experience personally because I was raised in exactly the same conditions: my mother was a violent, narcissistic psychopath and what you are describing is violent, narcissistic psychopathic behavior on the part of the Universal Mind and the Ego.  This makes the rest of this model much more comprehensible.

The apparent paradox of Ego serving as both inflicter of pain and protector is solved by realizing that the Ego has no real, substantive existence of its own.

Actually, fictions do horrible stuff all the time, as evidenced by the effects of corporations in the world; even individuals who, for all intents and purposes are very real, act as both inflicter of pain and ‘rescuer’ from the upheaval and misery they create: it happens all the time and is a feature of several major mental illnesses as well as the foundation of social and psychological constructs that cause various groups of individuals to be isolated and harmed for whatever reason. That the Ego would behave this way is no surprise at all and doesn’t require a slide into pseudo-quantum to excuse.

The slide into pseudo-quantum is also no surprise, because the philosophy of excusing abusers relies on any weak tactic it can get hold of. In this case the excuse is weak because in order to facilitate the experience of ‘learning’ a projection of a ‘reality’ has been engaged in; a handwaving dismissal of that reality ‘not being real’ doesn’t change that: for the reason of ‘effective lesson’, the Universal Self thought the ‘reality’ was important enough to engage in. A great deal of quantum construction goes into the experience of a ‘reality’; it is therefore not something that is irrelevant.

What a Being experiences in that reality has therefore been, according to your model, designed to ‘teach’ something; if the idea is to teach that there is no ‘reality’ then the method chosen to impart that lesson is an abysmally poor one given how ‘real’ that reality is. I can think of many ways to effectively teach that experience and none of it involves tortures, rape, murder, starvation, pain, fear, anguish or any of the myriad other ‘negative reinforcements’ that the Ego apparently likes to engage in to help the ‘lesson’ along- and I’m not claiming to be the Universal Self (because in my model that Self isn’t as interesting as singularity and Sui Generis Self, but then I’m not talking about my model here).

It is a construct of learned patterns. There is nothing real to protect, as there is no real enemy, and no real death.

The Ego controls the show according to your model, so if there are learned patterns then that’s entirely the Ego’s doing, not the Observer who is still copping the hammering via the Ego’s creations. Who is creating these ‘learned patterns’ at the core of things? The Universal Self, yet again, so whose ‘learned patterns’ are they really?

Thus, Ego places its own survival at the highest priority (for the discovery of the benign nature of existence would strip it of its power and potentially its existence),

This conflicts again with previously stated views of the relationship and power construct between Ego and Universal Self.

As for the ‘discovery of the benign nature of existence’ who exactly is responsible for hiding that in the first place? It wasn’t the Observer- we have already repeatedly established that the Observer has no ability to effect anything in its experience, so either the Universal Self hid it for reasons known only to it, or the Ego hid it from itself which would require a progression into multiple Egos within the one Ego. I have no problem at all with multiplicity of Self, it’s part of my universal model, but that isn’t what you’re talking about here; you’re creating a Universe in which there is no effective remedy to the problems created by the Universal Self in its contorted engagement with itself.

and through multiplicity of projected enemies is capable of projecting very intense, realistic hell experiences for the Observer.

It is the Ego that is creating these experiences, in this model; it is the Ego and the Universal Self that control the show, yet it is the Observer (unique, sui generis Self) that is experiencing the ‘reality’ that the Ego and Universal Self are creating, without any ability to transform its own experience. There is no lesson here, except for the sickness of the model in which a Being is subjected to the influences and actions of external authorities and forces over which it has no remedy. Unsurprisingly, this is precisely the current planetary society model that is being struggled against, but as we progress through your model we discover that this micro is a precise reflection of the macro that you propose the Universe to operate in: permanent entrapment within the limited and ever shrinking possibility of the non-evolving Universal Self.

The Means of Communicating the Process of Escape.

Left-Brain/Ego communicates in written and spoken words and this is why descriptions about existing in Right-Brain/Self are difficult because we lack the language to describe it.

Actually there are many ‘languages’ that can and do describe and express it, they simply don’t use or require verbal or written language: what therefor you are speaking of is subjective oral language rather than a language in which everything an individual experiences can be ‘explained’ or expressed to another individual. This isn’t a failure of language, it’s a recognition of the singularity that is the individual, something that your model seeks to nullify yet which is absolutely experienced in our engagement with ‘reality’: there is an element of singularity that defies subsumation into the One Mind/Borg view of the universe. The kind of ‘explanation’ that is being offered here is the reiteration of the one in which such singularity is ‘bad’ and that only the achievement of consensus with the External Authority is an indication of one’s ‘harmony’.

The problem with this is that, just like in the physical realm- ‘real’ or not- cloning has inherent problems in the long term.

This is in addition to the problem of dividing what is increasingly being a demonstrated as a phenomenon of great complexity- function of ‘mind’- into a two streamed option; right or left brain is an echo of a dualistic mindset that really has no place at all in a quantum holographic multiverse, but it’s an excellent tool for domination and control. The use of the dualistic platform allows for ‘us’ and ‘them’, hierarchies, segregations and prejudices based on a narrow, simplistic view that is echoed in ‘good’ and ‘bad’ as decided by any external-to-Self ‘authority’ or system.

Sentience simply isn’t that narrow a function in expression, but if the aim is to create a system of domination and control it absolutely is necessary to enforce such a contorted, unwholistic view.

In reality the lack of context requires one to describe the Right-Brain paradigm not as what it is, but rather what it is not. Similarly to enter the right paradigm one does not “do” something or think something rather it requires non-“doing” and non-thinking.

This is utterly inaccurate, as anyone who uses MRI and similar tools can readily demonstrate: the brain is very active when one is engaging in the wide range of activities outside that which is classically termed ‘thinking’- the problem in your model is the model of ‘thinking’ being narrowed down to a particular action that is then labeled ‘left brain’: intentionally engaging these altered states of Being is not a passive act. Even though the L/R brain model is inaccurate for the purposes of demonstration I’ll express from that platform: artists of all kinds enter the ‘right brain’ by engaging in a pattern of doing that intentionally diverts the ‘left’ brain away from its entrained dominance. This frequently requires a system of engaging the body differently from the normal state: the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain demonstrates that it is through a system of doing that the ‘right’ brain is activated. MRIs demonstrate that, in engaging with the body and mind this way, different elements of our brain are engaged- in other words, something is very definitely happening, it’s just outside the realm of the patterning that the dominant paradigm, for it’s own intention and purposes, has entrained individuals into.

This is a passive act of repression by the Ego.

I can only assume here that, using your model, you mean ‘of’ the Ego rather than by, because otherwise this makes no sense in the context you’re describing it.

Said another way: One cannot find the door out. One must stop and wait for the door to find them. Another way to understand it is that the Ego produces the structure of the door and a left-brain key. It takes a left-brained action to turn the key and open the door. Once outside the door the key and the door are meaningless and this is why the process must be done from a Left-Brain/Ego paradigm. The left-brain paradigm is as a “room”, a containment that one leaves in the described transition, rather than the transition being an entering “into” anything. Since the Ego hates not being in control, calming it to a point where one is able to practice the appropriate “non-action” is quite difficult.

Again we enter into the wonderful bizarro world where, despite being in agreement with the Universal Self, and in control of what is being done to the Observer, suddenly the Ego hates not being in control despite it knowing that it never actually is. The Ego produces the ‘structure’ of the door and key, but the Observer has no clue whatsoever as to what this is or what it might be about, due to the Ego obscuring the whole process:

“In its primary role as a defense mechanism the Ego represses uncomfortable experience to protect the Observer from the harshness of it.

The fact that the Observer cannot even remember the memories’ existence renders them invisible to the Observer. Thus, the Observer is unable to process the negative life experiences for the positive purposes for which they were intended and manifested by the Self.”

In this world, if an adult manifests this kind of insanity towards a child it’s called, appropriately, psychological and emotional abuse: in your model, because the abusers have been accredited with some kind of Universal overview and ‘wisdom’ this abuse then transforms into ‘educational experiences’ that are meant for ‘positive’ purposes.

Using this model, if I then wished for my children to advance spiritually as swiftly as possible, I’d abuse them in every way I possibly could, telling them that it was ‘for their own good’ and that they were going to advance as Beings by being tortured and harmed. Oddly enough these kinds of physically and emotionally abusive practices were standard fare in centuries gone by: unsurprisingly this didn’t result in producing a planet replete with startlingly spiritually advanced individuals and the reason is simple: the model of ‘pain for spiritual profit’ doesn’t actually produce the sterling results it claims to produce. This ‘suffering is good for the soul’ model presents a universe that is so repugnant to me and, I have ascertained by discussing with others, many other individuals as to be utterly unacceptable: any model in which the Universal Self can’t come up with effective teaching mechanisms other than psychological and emotional torture of a sentient Being (never mind the rubbish that such individuals are not ‘real’ so it doesn’t matter) demonstrates a Universal Self that is a) toxic on any number of levels and b) in serious lack of creative imagination.

It’s the next part of the theory that gets really chunky though.

Operating in the Self

The primary objective is to attenuate the function of Ego such that Self determines the conduct and course of the simulation (Life experience).

Beings are nothing more than puppets regurgitating what Self already knows. No evolution is possible. The universe demonstrates that that which cannot evolve or has reached the limit of its evolutionary possibility inevitably becomes extinct.  That which is controlled has no possibility of evolution; what is necessary is that something from outside the system is able to enter into the system and challenge it, which cannot be possible in any system that is utterly controlled by Universal Self: only when organisms are free to act outside the prescribed behaviours does evolution occur.

To suggest that Beings are free to do this is a sleight of hand trick; under this model nothing is free of the Universal Self and the construct in which it operates. No evolution is possible. Extinction is inevitable.

This is gained through entering into a contract with Ø.

If the rest of the ‘logic’ in this model hadn’t already been enough to make the embedded toxicity in it obvious, the concept of some kind of ‘contract for abuse’ between the Universal Self and whoever it wishes to enslave is the icing on the cake.

A contract is a legal document or arrangement that binds two parties into a particular course of action. Being able to enter in a contract requires that both parties have equal footing in the situation and are competent to enter into such an arrangement; there is much proscription against inequitable contracts in which one party is clearly at the distinct advantage to the other. A contract in which there is no foundational equity is not a contract; a contract made under duress is, by law, a null and void contract, which is why the Magna Carta is a useless document. King John was made to sign that contract under threat of death, which means the contract was made under duress, which makes it legally void.

The assertion that any Being could ‘enter into a contract’ with an entity that is holding every card in the deck is a legal fiction, something that is made up in order to tilt the balance in favour of one of the parties. Legal fictions are engaged with all the time by the powers that control the current dominant paradigm and they are no less repugnant than the legal fiction that’s being presented here as ‘spiritual wisdom’; legal fictions ensure that one party has constant and distinct advantage over any other and that ‘fact’ has very little to do with establishing a matter.

Proposing the idea that a slave has voluntarily entered into their enslavement because their ‘autograph’ is on a document is a trick of law wherein the ‘unclean hands’ (both a legal and spiritual term) of the entity that has engaged in the deception is being covered over: giving an individual the choice of ‘obedience or death’ is no choice at all, but by disguising it beneath a layer of dogma about ‘there is no ‘real’ death so this doesn’t matter’ and all the other contortions being engaged in through this morass of deception is as spiritually diseased as the legal tricks being pulled by the dominant elite are morally bankrupt.

The entire planetary culture is currently being manipulated through a series of legal fictions that have been created to enslave the entire human race; this is a reflection of the purpose and intention of the original creators of humans, but that’s a discussion for a different space- suffice to say that the human society is being given the opportunity to discover that individuals are absolutely NOT bound to contracts in which there has been no full disclosure of the terms (in commerce this renders a contract void), where there has been a clear imbalance of power (which also renders a contract void) or where the contract has been made under duress.

I have written in other essays regarding the nature of ‘contracts’: the word itself describes contraction, a restriction of movement and possibility that effectively freeze frames the evolution or possibility into a fixed pathway. Effectively, a contract seeks to ensure a particular set of behaviours and outcomes based on an agreement between the parties that thus it shall be so, because there is the ability of either party to appeal to an external authority for arbitration should either side fail to uphold their end of the contract.

This then requires that both parties have equal measure in the contract, as well as there being an external, impartial authority to appeal to should the contract prove colourable in any way or that information of a vital nature has been withheld. Where, in your model, is this available for the ‘created’ that is being maneuvered into the contract? There is absolutely no remedy available here, which is a vital element of any kind of trust or contract arrangement: one of the parties has positioned themselves as the Universal Arbiter of the other’s entire experience and Being. This is slavery, not an equitable contract; contracts in themselves were created to obviate the untrustworthy nature of individuals, while also ensuring a stranglehold on societal evolution.

The entry into this contract is not something that is performed, but an acceptance of the ultimate control of Ø in one’s life, which is to say, one gives up the ability to act contrary to the will of Ø (which ability is in itself an illusion to begin with, it must be remembered!).

This indicates the obvious: that one is not engaged in a ‘contract’ but is hopelessly, permanently bound in slavery to an external authority: because of this, the enslaved have simply chosen to construe the enslaver as ‘benevolent’ in an attempt to endure what would otherwise be unendurable. Stockholm Syndrome happens in all kinds of situations between dominator/dominated, abuser and abused, it’s nothing new, but what is being described in the model being presented is cosmic in scope, something I find particularly repugnant and that I repudiate absolutely.

To slide the reality of this slavery into the comfortable notion of a ‘contract’ to which the various parties agrees to is nothing but legal fiction; to suggest that there is any equity or positivity in this act of oppression-made-legal is to suggest that the same tortiously converting tactics used by the ‘law’ here at this time is equally acceptable. This is in absolute opposition to everything the sui generis represents and seeks to create. There is no equity, nor can there ever be; there is no possibility of evolution while the Universal Self maintains its iron grasp and enforcing its ‘will’ on those that have absolutely no choice to act otherwise- the Universal Self ensures this totalitarianism by maintaining a pattern of ‘obey or suffer the increasingly dire consequences’.

It is not what we do; it is what we stop doing. Left-brain Ego cannot understand what place it it going to. It can at best understand that it is a better place and that Ego-based communications are inadequate to describe this “better place”.

This is the standard Church exhortation to ‘nobly suffer’ the machinations around them for the promise of a glorious afterlife; there are so many things wrong with this that I find it difficult to enumerate them. It embeds the concept of ‘physical=bad, disembodied/spirit=good’ that permeates so much of the ‘enlightenment’ movement, which in turns helps promote and allow behaviours and actions that directly serve the interests of those who are currently decimating the planet for their own profit; it doesn’t matter what happens in or to the physical reality because ‘reality doesn’t exist’ and therefore what’s going on isn’t as important as promoting the legal fictions that allow atrocity to occur.

We cannot even talk about atrocity because ‘there isn’t any, none of it is real’ and to try and engage in a conversation with such an individual is to get sucked into the morass of amorphous logic that constantly shifts and moves beneath the feet of the listener, designed to keep recursing them back into a position of absolute powerlessness, subsumed beneath the will of some external authority that ‘knows best’ what is ‘good’ for us: we ‘as sinners’ (or as nothing but projections of the Universal Self, utterly controlled and ‘contracted’ to that Self) have no choice and no volition but abject and total subjection to that entity.

And this is acceptable because of some dogmatic, unprovable legal fictions regarding the benevolent nature of this dictatorial Self that likes to use negative reinforcement to ensure the eventual and complete surrender of the Being it is torturing. Classic Virus behavior. Classic psychopath behavior. The encapsulation of every dominant culture and individual that has ever walked the planet. How true the words ‘let us make man in our image’!

Words fail me that any intelligent, evolutionary minded individual would even tolerate this model, let alone promote it, but I never did fall completely beneath the yoke of domination by the Church and I’m not going to: it is clear to me that there are those who are absolutely Agents for the dominant paradigm and that these are disguised in all kinds of subtly nuanced ways.

This is why parable and metaphor are required. Ego cannot pass accurate concepts of the “better place” to the Observer as it lacks the ability.

Because the Observer knows, at the very heart of it, that such a place does not exist in this model.

Apprehension of the nature of the “heavenly realm” is a Yin (feminine, yielding) action and not a Yang (masculine, pushing) action. One does not open the door; one allows the door to be opened.

Which ‘One’ is this? The Ego one that, through a series of contortions designed to be ‘educational’, is hiding the existence of the door and how to open it; the Observer that has absolutely no power to do anything about its experience at all or the Universal Self orchestrating the entire debacle and calling it ‘educational’?

Perhaps the greatest challenge, and indeed the primary goal of the life experience itself is this achievement, since the process must be done from a left-brain perspective. The process has no meaning in the right-brain paradigm.

Of course the process would have ‘meaning’ in the R-brain paradigm, it just wouldn’t look like anything that the L-brain could grasp: what might not be present is the R-brain experiencing the entire thing as worth engaging in. So many other, more interesting things to be doing…

The Purpose and Nature of the Universe

The Universe is a virtual simulation,

In the first part of this particular sentence, there is actually nothing implicitly wrong with this element of the model; it’s one I also ascribe to.

created by Ø for the purpose of exploring its own nature.

It’s where this element is then taken to that causes everything to go pear shaped.

It is practice and we are here specifically to fail and learn from that failure.

Oddly enough, when the model of ‘learning by failing’ is applied to the education of children, utterly poor outcomes emerge: children are often permanently crippled in possibility by such ‘education’. Why would anyone tolerate a cosmic model wherein such poor methodologies are engaged when the undesirable outcomes of these are amply globally demonstrated in the human experience?

We as spiritual beings came here by contract to learn and evolve.

As I have already demonstrated, evolution of any kind- spiritual or otherwise-using this model is impossible, as is the possibility of actually contracting in any way that makes any evolutionary sense. Learning through trauma is the least effective method one could choose: are you suggesting that the Universal Self actually has a limited imagination or ability to apply effective, useful and sustainable learning models?

Who we were born to and the general lessons we were to take from our lives was understood by our Observers, prenatally, through the willing acceptance of a contract with Ø, the details of which are intentionally hidden from the Ego (but not from the Self or Observer) so that we could learn (meet the challenge of illusory ignorance) and take our experience seriously.

“Self determines what knowledge the Observer has access to though a conduit connecting the Observer to the universal mind.”  

We are merely Observers viewing the interplay of duality between Ego and Self as just one of the multiple facets or eyes of Ø. 

The primary objective is to attenuate the function of Ego such that Self determines the conduct and course of the simulation (Life experience).

In its primary role as a defense mechanism the Ego represses uncomfortable experience to protect the Observer from the harshness of it.

The fact that the Observer cannot even remember the memories’ existence renders them invisible to the Observer. Thus, the Observer is unable to process the negative life experiences for the positive purposes for which they were intended and manifested by the Self.

Thus, Ego places its own survival at the highest priority (for the discovery of the benign nature of existence would strip it of its power and potentially its existence),

The Self governs the learning experience of the Observer through control exerted over Ego. Ultimately the Self/Ø controls all aspects of the Observer’s learning experience. The Self is singular and all Observers share this singular, all-controlling “spirit”.

There is nothing healthy or sane in this model; the balance of power and control shift back and forth between a controller and two elements that variously have no memory of what is happening or what the ‘agreement’ was, one of which is designed to inflict pain and suffering in the name of ‘learning a lesson’ on the other, who is powerless to do anything at all in the situation.

This requires a faith that the one holding all the cards- the Universal Self- is actually a benevolent Being and not the sociopathic, sadistically minded individual that they appear to be. Faith throughout the ages has been one of the effective mechanisms of Empire to ensure the obedience of the masses via religious or social manipulation: Faith ensures that those that question or challenge are moved into the arena of heretic (in the old system) or unawakened in the new age system- either way, the same objective is achieved in that those that question are marked as ‘spiritually deficient’ and are able to be silenced through a variety of mechanisms, including violence and death, depending on who is doing the silencing.

In my expression of the Sui Generis model, I have repeatedly stated that the mechanisms of dogma, faith, sentimentality and emotion are all tools that Empire has used to its great advantage: I repeatedly point to the flaws within these deeply embedded mythologies, the fundamental errors that lead inexorably back to the tight fist of an intractable spiritually dead and energetically bankrupt Empire rebooting itself again and again through the willingness of individuals to engage in the same spiritual ‘vomit’ when it’s presented in shiny new packaging.

The model that you have presented allows Empire unchecked activity on the planet by leveraging the myth of ‘spiritual passivity as enlightenment and obedience to ø in whatever form ø demands this obedience to take’: to question the Church and its actions in the past is now the same as to question what happens on the planet via the actions of the corporations and governments: all things are as they should be and thus to take any action against these is to take action against ø itself.

You are modeling just another form of ancient dominator dogma, designed to subject and control, via an effective combination of mechanisms ranging from community condemnation, ‘re-education’ tactics (something heavily embedded in the cult of sentimentality), shunning, shaming, dismissal, violence and sometimes death,  those who observe that the Emperor has no clothes and would stand up to declare the same.
