The Identity Matrix Model of Existence
For quite a while now I've been trying to articulate an information download I got during one of my hypnagogic experiences some time ago. From time to time I've written a little about it here in the blog and elsewhere, but for the most part I've just tried to ignore it. It was for the most part just troublesome and confusing and didn't really serve my interest as far as increasing my connection to Irene and setting up our "afterlife" connection.
As time passed, though, I started seeing how this information, properly articulated, could actually help me in that goal. After more processing of the ideas I expressed in my last post, and a whole slew of synchronistic events supporting the direction of the development of those ideas, plus some more information I've gleaned from whatever source while talking with Irene, I've put together a model of existence that basically turns most cosmological models inside-out. Perhaps some others might find it useful.
Individual Experience
In order to have experience, there must first be, in some way, a differentiation between self and other - what is doing the experiencing, and that which is being experienced. It is the classic duality model of self and other. Even if that separation is an "illusion" in at some fundamental level (and IMO it is), it's a necessary illusion for the experience of self-identity.
I think, however, that "illusion" is a baggage-laden term. Please keep in mind that all thought has form and substance, so in my model "illusion" and "reality" are individually orchestrated categorizations that form some of the perceptual and structural basis for our experience as individuals.
Source, which IMO is pure consciousness (and, in a sense, infinite information), adopts (creates for itself) various experiential interfaces. We often categorize these interfaces conceptually with terms like "mind", "astral body", "physical body", etc.
So, the basis of this model is that pure consciousness creates experiential interfaces through which it can have individuated experiences. What it is having experiences of is the infinite information of source itself. So, in a sense, source is exploring and experiencing itself from countless individual perspectives.
Perception and Interpretation
In this model, these interfaces have a two stage method of acquiring and organizing experience. First, the interface is tuned into certain information bandwidths or frequencies - like our physical eyes being tuned into a certain bandwidth of electro-magnetic radiation as visible light. This is the perception stage of experience - acquiring information that corresponds to the perceptual tuning.
The second stage is the interpretation stage, where that information is filtered, edited and organized into a comprehensible pattern. Unless experiences have differing and coordinated values (like different colors and shades that make a landscape), experience would be utterly bland and uniform) (seeing only white light) or chaotic and thus without meaning. It would be an utterly incomprehensible experience.
Thus, our various interfaces are used by consciousness to collection specific kinds of information, sort them out, edit and organize them into comprehensible patterns and models.
There Is No Exterior Reality, Per Se
In this model, the only actual "external reality" is pure source consciousness and infinite information and manifestation potential, but it's not really "external" since the individual and all experience is part of that same ocean. The way we experience that "reality" is entirely the product of of our interface matrix of individual experience - what I call the "Identity Matrix". The normal "external world", as most of us perceive it, is not a world at all "out there"; it is entirely the product of the individual's Identity Matrix as it perceives and processes information streams it is focused on.
This model would have profound consequences if it can be used to successfully model experience. It would mean that the Earth as I perceive and interpret it, and the Earth that someone else perceives and interprets, are both entirely valid and real in the same way that anything any individual experiences is valid and real. It's all a matter of the information we are tuned into and our interpretations thereof, while the "Earth" itself has no actual physical existence or "real state" beyond that. This perspective comports with quantum theory about the nature of observation and whether or not a "real world" actually exists as anything (other than potential) without any observers.
Other People
You might be concerned about what "other people" represent in this model. Are they real? Are they solipsistic delusions of our Identity Matrix?
Let's keep in mind that everything one experiences is real. The difference between "reality" and "illusion" is, according to this model, a matter of semantics and internal categorizations. At the source root, we are all the same consciousness. Everyone we experience, even though we are perceiving them and interpreting them from our own perspective, is as utterly real as we are, even though we can change how we perceive them and how we interpret them by deliberately altering the tuning of our perception focus and the manner in which we interpret that incoming information. In the same manner, we can change how we perceive and interpret ourselves.
Comparison of Models
In the "External Reality" model, we find ourselves competing with others over so-called consensual reality; that there is a truth, and there are facts, about the external world we experience that are universal and binding. Recently there was a robust discussion in a group I participate in whether or not the world was actually spherical. You could extend this "debate" to many things - how old the Earth and the universe are, what is going on with the global climate, politics, etc.
Pardon me for being blunt, but this view embeds us in a conflict-thesis and victim-thesis model of existence. It pits us against each other as we fight over facts and truths about the exterior world we share, and makes ourselves and others victims of some actual external reality that we just happen to find ourselves in. When someone shares a view sufficiently different from our own, we often respond to it like it is a personal attack because it conflicts with our own perspective of reality and existence, a deeply baked in aspect of our personal identity.
However, in the Identity Matrix model, conflict and competition isn't necessary when it comes to sharing individual perspectives; rather, alternative perspectives are just accepted as a fully valid, individual processing of information for that person. Just because we might acquire information and process it into a different experience doesn't mean the other guy is "wrong". We do not have to try to get the other guy to "see the light"; rather, we can just find what in his view resonates with us as important in our own journey.
The models differ completely in how they frame our activities and experience going forward. We are no longer the "victim" of an objectively-existent external reality; instead, what we experience as the exterior world is completely instructive about our own perception and interpretation system. In other words, the exterior world is reflective or projective of something about us. Others cannot be to blame for what we experience. We no longer need to "change the world"; rather, we only need to change ourselves to experience a different world. We're not really "attracting" or "manifesting", but rather we are changing what we are perceptually focused on and how we interpret that information.
Which model better explains the experience of synchronicities and signs, some of which would require a massive arrangement of events just for the purpose of showing you, as an individual, something? Which model better explains the different kinds of experiences people have not only in the astral and above, but in the physical as well? What is more likely to be the case - that as our views and "vibration" changes, we change the whole world; or, that we are simply experiencing new information, and interpreting it differently? Is it more likely that we are changing the world, or that we are changing ourselves and, because of that, experiencing what appears to us to be a different, changing world?
It's All Right Here, Right Now
In the Exterior Reality model, we express our situation in terms of places, levels, realms, future, past, etc. In the Identity Matrix model, everything there is to experience is right here, right now, completely accessible to the consciousness through the various interfaces; the only thing we are required to do in order to change what kind of experience we have - including physical world experience - is to make adjustments to the interface's perception and interpretation process. Make no mistake, it's not usually easy to change one's Identity Matrix, because rooted in that Matrix is how we see ourselves, our entire sense of self and other, our values, beliefs, etc.
At the core of that difficulty, though, is the "Exterior World" model, where our self-worth and sense of value is often rooted in what we "know" to be true and factual. Trying to change yourself and how you see things in that model is very difficult because that anchors your sense of self in a certain structure of knowledge, facts and truth. However, if we see ourselves instead as pure consciousness using a perception/interpretation interface to have experience, this frames the nature of our "self" very differently, and more open to real change in how we see and experience things. It gives us immense creative power over who we are, what we experience and how we experience it. Existence is more easily seen as an expression of self-empowered creativity and it is easier to take responsibility for what we are experiencing.
I realize that the idea of there being no actual external world can be very hard to take because so much of what many of us hold as valuable and meaningful draws from that framework. However, given the current state of information about quantum physics, spiritual wisdom from many sources and afterlife evidence, which model better co-ordinates those genres of information into a working model? How can we truly love, respect and accept each other if we are constantly in conflict and competing with over an external world, the "true" nature of reality, etc.? How can we see everyone as equals unless we have an existential framework where the are actually our equals: another aspect of, ultimately, our own consciousness (source) experiencing infinite information potential according to a certain perspective?
How can we fully appreciate ourselves as creators and authors of our own experience until we have a model of existence that frees us from the perspective of victimization and limitation, competition and conflict?
I'm going to be using this model of existence going forward to frame my work towards completely reuniting with Irene.
