Truth vs Falsehood (15 page)

The progress of society seems to hang in a state of perpetual anticipation of the next discovery or elucidation of some previously obscure fact of vital data. Thus, the enticement of the news keeps the world sitting on the edge of the seat of expectancy and witnessing the unfolding of creation as evolution.

From the already presented perspectives of the evolution of consciousness and the physiology of brain function, some appreciation for inherent difficulties that present obstacles to the recognition and elucidation of truth is already apparent. Superimposed on these basic general conditions are the contributing factors that either enable or preclude the capacity for the derivation or recognition of ‘meaning’. Vocabulary itself demonstrates the collective effort to create pragmatic structure and form for information and to organize raw linear data in order to have significant importance and value as well as specificity.

The ongoing progressive evolution of the World Wide Web and its massive accumulation of information and data is a spectacular recapitulation of the development of the human mind in that it incorporates not only information already accumulated but also continuously develops intricate correlations and the emergence of new definitions and implications of meaning. In so doing, it also reflects silent, unspoken philosophical assumptions and positionalities, as well as schools of semantic and artistic development.

A brilliant insight into the significance of how the mind and society approach and categorize information was presented in an article in
Time
magazine about the development of the World Wide Web (Grossman, 2003). It described the search engine as a “lens through which we see or fail to see information” and indicated the importance of the fact that “how we search affects what we find” and how and what we know. That result is the consequence of intention is a very interesting recognition and description of the practice of the Heisenberg principle. This in turn affects not only who we are but also what we think we are and, therefore, what we are to become. The critical importance of intention is explored in Wayne Dyer’s
The Power of Intention
(Dyer, 2004). Meaning, language, and society are interactively unified experientially and are further subjected to personalized processing by both the individual and the collective consciousnesses that, by circularity, influence language, description, and meaning as an ongoing developmental process.

In line with this collective intention, consciousness research and a pragmatic calibration system for discerning specific levels of consciousness are not only useful but have the unique benefit of freedom of application. Prior barriers to knowledge can now be transcended, and areas formerly obscured by darkness can be illuminated.

To this end, the technique was applied as a study to broad areas of the human experience, which provided a two-fold benefit. First, it researched the efficacy and capability of consciousness research itself for pragmatic as well as theoretical reasons. Second, it revealed areas of limitation that, when properly recontextualized, can be converted to avenues of progress. Society’s seemingly unsolvable enigmas are obstinate because they are merely the surface expression of undiagnosed underlying factors; therefore, use of the technique as a research tool opens the doors to discovery and resolution, and to greater understanding and compassion.

Calibrated figures are solely the result of more than two hundred fifty thousand that have been done since the mid-1970s as research projects by experienced experts.
They are impersonal and do not reflect personal opinion.
The commentary following each section of tables is kept separate from the raw data.

Because the panorama of study is encyclopedic, due to space restrictions, examples are limited for pragmatic reasons. They are primarily illustrative and reveal previously unknown information.

Some data will undoubtedly be at variance with personal or social opinions, which confirms that not only are appearance and essence not identical but also sometimes disturbingly extremely divergent to the point that common human beliefs are often the exact opposite of the underlying truth. Many of the seeming disparities resolve upon reflection and, like a Zen
koan
, turn out to be extremely beneficial and informative. The best attitude is one of devotion to truth rather than being contentious towards falsehood. Open-minded curiosity leads to progressive discovery of information never before available, which may therefore seem confrontational upon first exposure.

It is well to repeat that falsehood is not the opposite of truth but its absence, and that to prefer chocolate, one does not have to hate and vilify vanilla.
Specific calibrations are subject to change with shifts of conditions and people’s intentions.
The calibrations presented in the charts were taken from a database of nine thousand calibrations done in late 2003 and throughout 2004. To repeat:
The calibrations represent research data and not personal opinion

Derivation of Calibrations

All that exists now or did so in the past gives off multiple energy radiations, a fact utilized by Max Planck in his famous Black Box Radiation experiment from which he derived the famous “Planck constant” of quantum physics (h = 6.626068 × 10
^-34
m
²
kg / s). Deep-sea rays (fish) and sharks detect prey through their muscle-produced electrical fields.

These energy emissions are trackable and calibratable along a whole electromagnetic spectrum, from ions and photons to infrared, ultraviolet, heat, sound, absorptive and reflective capacities of various energies, as well as electrical and other radiation phenomena. In addition to light vibration and absorption (e.g., ordinary photography), or infrared photography, a great many variables can be detected and measured or calibrated at a distance along an arbitrary continuum. The biological energy of life itself is likewise radiated continuously and registers permanently in the nonlinear field of consciousness, which is an invariable context (the Absolute).

All that exists or has ever existed, including even passing thoughts, is automatically imprinted in a readable, timeless dimension. Thus, there are no ‘secrets’ in the universe, and all of life in all its expressions is accountable to the universe. That ‘every hair on one’s head is counted’ is an impersonal and scientifically verifiable fact. Access to consciousness calibration is limited by the requirements as denoted in Appendix C. Like temperature or barometric pressure readings, the reported calibration levels are impersonal and merely represent research data devoid of personal opinion.

Distribution of Levels of Consciousness of Mankind
Overall World Population 2004

As noted elsewhere, the overall average consciousness level of mankind evolved very slowly over vast periods of time and was at 90 at the time of the Buddha, 100 at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ, and then evolved slowly to 190, where it stayed over the last millennium until the late 1980s, when it jumped to 205. In November 2003, it moved up to the current level of 207. The distribution in the world shows that approximately 78 percent of the world’s population calibrates below 200. (The comparative figure for the United States, however, is 49 percent). The innate distribution is displayed as a progression curve, as follows:

This information can be displayed in the form of a pyramid, which gives a better sense of the mass of humanity.

Distribution of the Levels of Consciousness of Mankind

The calibratable levels of consciousness also denote power, which explains why the sheer mass of humanity that calibrates below 200 does not simply self-destruct by its pervasive negativity. In effect, the power of the 22 percent that calibrates above consciousness level 200 counterbalances the 78 percent, as seen on the next diagram.

Distribution of the Levels of Consciousness of Mankind

The levels of consciousness delineate subpopulations that tend to stratify in society, as do corks in the sea where position is a consequence of innate buoyancy, i.e., a field phenomenon rather than due to cause and effect. Movement within the field is a result of intrinsic factors such as choice, the range of which is also innate to the field. Society also represents a stratified range of expectations.
