The Black Train Experiment

First drafted 1988 published 2000 revised 2011
by Joey Lawsin

The Law of Irreversible Codexation posits that information flows unidirectionally, originating from the external world (the physical realm) and permeating into the mind (the abstract realm). This information is acquired from nature, absorbed, and processed by the mind. It transitions from the physical to the abstract. In between the existence of the physicals and abstracts lies the metaphysics of consciousness -  the go-between that transforms ideas to reality; the point that codifies the pixels of physicalness to abstractness; or the f  that equates the inverse square law.  This elusive sensation renders the world tangible. Without this, the reality of human existence would always be an illusion.

To test that the physical world is an illusion fabricated by our biological sensors, a thought experiment, known as The Black Train Effect or The Consciousness Effect, is presented. This experiment, through an unusual encounter, unfolds an anomalous phenomenon revealing a clue that the only substantial entity that exists, if it indeed exists, is the impression of the “I”; the oculus that transmutes the reality of our existence.

To unleash this "I", let us imagine you and me are both seated in a dim compartment inside a train, a carriage 100-cars long. The train leisurely enters a dark tunnel, ten times the length of the entire locomotive. As the train gains momentum, the darkness within the train and the tunnel gradually merge together. Suddenly, our eyes perceive nothing but pitch-black darkness. As we attempt to focus in the dark, looking at the ceiling, the windows, the seat in front of us, the luggage, our eyes cease to see anything. We start to feel a void, an empty space devoid of anything around us. Total blackness - a moment of emptiness.

And at a certain point, as time elapses, our eyes could no longer focus. They resist seeing things. Suddenly, we experience the sensation of blindness. Confusion ensues. The mind, although alert, is confused. It begins to question itself, “Am I trying to see or am I trying to think?”. The concept of seeing ceases and the concept of thinking commences. Our thinking comes to play and becomes clear. We start to check our legs, our hands, our bodies, trying to feel if they are still there.  But because everything is black the mind really does not know. Eventually, the mind senses the existence of something outside of it. A globular mass of something floating behind and above the head. An entity I have termed the “Oculus”.

As the train nears the other end of the tunnel, rays of light start to crawl inch by inch inside the train and finally reach our eyes. The mind slowly begins to adjust and starts to perceive things again. It now sees our hands, our legs, and our entire physical body once again. And as the mind settles down, it automatically reverts to reality. Our whole world is back again to its colorful beauty.

In silence, we momentarily pause to think, contemplate, reflecting on what just transpired, and surprisingly question ourselves, "Do I truly exist or am I a derivative of something else? Is my thought an illusory schema created by a network of cells or is it someone else’s thought? Is my reality material? Mechanical? Chemical? Logarithmic? Neural? Aneural?

The train experience provides compelling evidence that everything is merely an illusion. That Reality is an illusion. That Reality is nothing but information of shapes and spaces. But, if reality is merely an illusion, what is its evolutionary advantage? Moreover, if the information in our brains is nothing but particles of synaptic impulses of energies, does this imply that the mental outputs of our brain are simply “pixels” that simulate the matrix or fiber of reality; and that the external inputs of our biological sensors are also but “pixels” that transverse to create the imaginary frame of reality? Another Mental Software Illusion?

Other factors, like intelligence, consciousness, ego, and free-will that provide proof that reality is an illusion are briefly presented here.

Consciousness:

Consciousness as we have seen is one of the many ways that determines if Reality is real or an illusion. It is this mental energy that seems to create the nature of Existance. Without consciousness, the world would not exist.

Based on Viegenesis, we all live in dualpairing. Life is Binary. Everything follows the Law of Second Option. The Two Options Rule. The Flowchart Effect. The Law of Natural Choice. The Law of This or That!

The Law of Second Option governs our ability to choose. This natural law always provides two and only two choices: This or That! Either you do this or you do that. Whatever the choices are, there are always two options. And if there is a third option that option becomes the second option.

But how does this law know which option to choose? The answer is algorithm! The decisions we make each day come from our past thoughts and experiences. We program ourselves. Remember that the brain is empty when it is in its infancy. It doesn't have any information. It first needs to acquire information. Our brain is made up of switches. A switch only provides two options: OFF or ON. This option can be equated to zero(0) and one(1). When switches interact with each other, they create a process called LOGIC. This simple logic becomes complex over time and collectively forms what we call Consciousness. Thus, by viegenical definition, consciousness is the by-product of the sensor-actuator interaction that creates the illusion of reality, of thoughts, feelings, movements, freewill, decisions, perceptions, and all other sorts of behavioral episodes.

Consciousness is synonymous with awareness or alertness. It is the ability to know "my-self, me-self and I-self" and the ability to know my outside me - my surroundings. It is the litmus paper that provides proof of why God does not exist or why souls are simply the product of a confused mind. . My eyes are sensors that detect the objects outside of me and become actuators as they positively confirm the object. My arms can sense hot or cold and actuates whether to touch or not to touch. They are the input and output produced by both sensors and actuators.

But who controls our thoughts (switches)? Is it me, I, or myself? Or it is something or someone else outside of us?

In the universe, everything belongs to a family. Consciousness, as well, belongs to the family called Awareness. This family is made up of four distinguishable members: the unconscious ("dead" mode), the subconscious (sleep mode), the conscious (wake-up mode), and the superconscious (rational mode).

The physical body houses the mind and the altermind. The mind is where the conscious level of awareness sits while the altermind is where the subconscious level of awareness resides. The mind or conscious body interacts directly or indirectly through a labyrinth of sensory systems. These 6 major sensors pick up energies of information from its environment. The mind recognizes these energies as signals, interprets and decodes this information, and stores and encodes them when needed. The altermind, or subconscious body, simultaneously functions secretly in the background as well. It also interacts with the environment, storing as much information, directly or indirectly, as it can register. The altermind is the seat of power that overtakes the conscious mind when in sleep-mode.

In wake-up mode, the mind and the altermind are always in-sync. However, the mind is more dominant or in higher frequency because all biological sensors are active or switched on. When the conscious mind is in sleep mode, or at rest, its frequency is also at rest or lowered. A frequency shifting is transpiring. The altermind takes over and functions with less help from the biological sensors. Most of these sensors are in the stand by mode with the exception of the largest sensor in the physical body - the skin. This organ picks up even the slightest signal of information when all other sensors are shut off. Day to day events, perceived by chance by the conscious mind, are retained and processed by the altermind through the skin in the form of dreams or flashbacks. Even out-of-body experience takes place during this frequency shifting.

Ego:

In viegenesis views, there is no such thing as ego. It doesn't even exist at all.

How is this so? Although you look at yourself as One, in the real world you always experience yourself as TWO. You are both good and evil. You are both winners and losers. You both feel sad and happy or love and hate. This SENSE OF BALANCE is the pivot point where on one side is your negative-self and on the other side is your positive-self. It is the barometer or scale that tells us where we are at in our lives. It is the alarm that wakes up us daily to remind us if we are spending life too much or not in either the positive or negative of the balance. If we find ourselves in the negative side, then we need to pull ourselves into the pivot point by adding something positive. If we find ourselves on the positive side, then we need to push ourselves into the pivot point by lessening nothing negative.

And this SENSE OF BALANCE is one of the greatest attributes of Nature. We do not only sense this among ourselves. It is everywhere. Plants, animals, climates, the solar system, the universe all of them also experience this sense of balance. It is a universal law that is one hundred percent true in all creation.

Water itself experiences this sense of balance too. When its environment is too hot, its life becomes miserable that it turns to vapor. And when its environment is too cold, its life becomes miserable too that it turns into ice. So in order for this water to experience its nature to flow freely, it needs to keep itself near its pivot point at all times.

When information or idea is passed on from generations to generations after generations, its original meaning sometimes changes variably or transforms differently. Whatever is the case, the birth or origin of the word can still be uncovered. The rational method of crawling back into the past connecting ideas after ideas after ideas after ideas is called the Think Effect. It is a methodology of finding the original source or beginning of information. The original source of an idea may be the person who developed or discovered the idea. Or, interestingly, it may also be directly acquired or inlearned from Nature.

Using the principle behind the Think Effect, the idea of God, Religion, or the Bible can also be traced by tracking the source of their origins or by studying where or how these ideas evolved.

Intelligence:

Intelligence is a prior-procedure; a lengthy list of instructions capable of doing a specific task or a list of tasks. This prior-procedure is like the hundreds of pages of a procedural manual, the numerous blueprints of building an international space station, or the many operating systems in flying an airplane all compiled individually in their own right to do a specific task. The single acquisition of information is called the Intelligence Konstant. Information is the building block of all-natural things. The emergence of instructions, which are made up of information, is called Inlearning. The convergence of instructions evolving into a group while naturally rearranging orderly into a serial algorithm is called modular programming. These three basic factors - accumulation, compilation, and translation of procedures form what is known as intelligence. Intelligence is the "mind" that programs everything. Everything is naturally programmed by a list of instructions called Intelligence.

Existence:

The purpose of our existence is synonymous with the purpose of our creation.

Things were created in order to exist with a particular purpose - 100% Factual.

I do not buy the story that he created humans and after sometime send Jesus just to be mocked and crucified in order for humans to be saved from sin or we need to glorify S/Him as the only god.

But why did this biblical god created animals and plants in the first place? So that man has food to eat in order to live?

But wy did S/He create the moon and the sun? Maybe, so that plants and animals have food to digest in order to live?

But why did S/He create our milky way, other galaxies, and the universe? Maybe because in the first place god doesn't exist at all that these questions are out of the topic.

And what about plants, animals, and all other natural things, do they worry why they exist? Or since they already knew the secret of life, they simply eat and play.

Now in Viegenesis' view, I believed that everything was created from the dualpairing of something and nothing. These "particles" still exist in this very moment. I called them abstracts and physicals, scientists classified them speciously as matter(mass-wave) and energy(force-energy).

From dualpairing, instructional-material systems always evolve. The existence of all these systems always provides one common purpose: Energyforce is the giver of life; Masswave is the receiver of life. In short, energy animates matter; matter carries the flow of energy.

* Consciousness doesn't emanate from the Brain:

According to I.M., Consciousness is the ability of an object to use the information on its own set of surroundings. Plants are conscious due to the point that they use the sun, soil air, and water to live, produce, and die. Without the inherent world, translated as information, consciousness will never exist.

But, what if a person was born without any of the biological sensors, will he become a conscious being. He might be, due to the fact that he still possesses the largest organ in his body; the SKIN which has still the ability to sense its surroundings by touch. However, the inputs received by the skin would be stagnant if the brain is not present. Is the brain the only key to understand consciousness or there are other ways to prove that consciousness doesn't emanate from the brain?

There are many animals that don't have brains but are conscious due to the network of pores discussed and criteria enumerated in the book, The Silver Species. Some of these animals are the:
  1. Sea Star
  2. Sea cucumber
  3. Jellyfish
  4. Sea Sponge
  5. Sea Lilies
  6. Sea Urchins
  7. Sea Anemone
  8. Sea Squirts
  9. Corals
  10. Man-o-war
