Einstein’s Dream:

The Engineering of Lucid Dreams

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.” - Albert Einstein "But I mean why did I see what I saw?" “What you saw was for your eyes only. I hadn't seen Einstein for a week. In the interim I had been intending to 'go to the Neanderthals world' when seemingly out of nowhere I had two experiences that had nothing to do with my intending. I went to see Einstein and to tell him every detail of the experiences. “Those are for your eyes only. Never tell anyone of what you witnessed. The experiences will have more power that way. Some experiences should be shared because they expand the horizon of common knowledge. Other experiences, like the two you've had are for your eyes only. Keep them. Once a person makes the decision to take responsibility for t...

* * * I went back to Einstein to talk about the nature of engineered conscious experiences and the idea of collecting sense data in bulk. Einstein said that to understand why bulk processing engenders a dramatic shift in consciousness a cognitive model is needed. Einstein said that this cognitive model is found in Kant’s Transcendental Theory of the Imagination. He added that Kant’s great claim to fame was his quiet, unyielding and eternally patient, well studied and astutely observable accounting of they way in which the Transcendental Imagination worked. Einstein stood and began a lecture. "Immanuel Kant is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of western civilization and his intellectual reach influences every single field of academic discipline from philosophy to psychology and from science to art. In his book, The Critique of Pure Reason, he finds that, and I quote –‘we must assume a pure transcendental synthesis of imagination as conditioning the ve...

I set my mind to it and began to register and collect all the sounds and sights around me as if they were tiny bits of sensory information that would culminate in my body and mind leading to the creation of an engineered conscious experience. It took me six days of doing this every chance I got and then it happened. I awoke kicking the lid off a coffin distinctly aware that I was in two places at one time. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was home in bed sleeping but I was also here acting and aware. I launched myself up out of the coffin knocking the lid to the ground off causing lots of noise. I did not startle in the least an old woman who stood waiting by the door with a most solemn look of longing. Next to her was a large slab of cement. Right next to and a bit below the slab of cement was a long shelf filled with jars of all different sizes. The jars were filled with opaque substances. It was dark and the only light coming into the tiny room came from the window where th...

I was pissed. I had just returned from my anthropology class. I frantically knocked on Einstein’s door. He unlocked it and let me in. I immediately launched myself into a tirade of thoughts and ideas - “Under no circumstances, at least not in my fricking world, is it acceptable to believe or to posit or to assert that early man was a genocidal maniac! Anthropologists’ assertion that homo sapiens wiped out homo Neanderthal over 40,000 years ago is completely unfounded, biased and utterly stupid especially in the light of the sheer contradiction of facts.” “What are the facts?” My tirade went on. I paced back and forth reiterating to Einstein that I had always had a deep problem with anthropologists’ assertion that we were much more intelligent than Neanderthals. I told him that I had always been interested in the origins of intelligence and was fascinated by the story of how humans evolved from apes. But I found the explanation of evolution to be riddled with flaws and believed that a...

Einstein’s Dream The Engineering of Conscious Experience Chapter Six ""Learning is experience. Everything else is just information." – Albert Einstein Chapter Six – Three Cornerstones “All sciences, philosophies, religions and political beliefs, ideas, whatever you want to call them, have three cornerstones. Each is concerned with what is percieved in the world around them with a code of behaviour and with who or what made all of this. For example, the science of cosmology is concerned with what is seen in the night’s sky, with behaviour of suns and galaxies, and with how these structures got to be the way they are. The big words academics use to describe these three corner stones are phenomenology, ontology, and epistemology. Phenomenology concerns itself with ‘phenomena.’ ‘Ology’ means ‘study of.’ Therefore, phenomenology is the study of phenomena. The phenomena under scrutiny can vary from what the five sense detect to moral and ehtical behaviour including all its r...
