Fuck the shrinks. Tedious toads, as Nietzsche called them. Forever searching for origins, backwards…one becomes a crab.
Your thoughts are good, it is imagination and free-thinking. Einstein would love you, and he didn’t comb his hair. Does he need a shrink? Hell no.
Here’s a crazy idea for you, right up your alley:
A physicist once said “the moon is not there unless someone is looking at it.”
This is the application of the uncertainty principle on a macrocosmic scale. Now this is where it gets funky.
It takes observation for a particle to attain a definite position in a space, but upon this observation, its velocity cannot be determined. How is that? I dunno. Must be relativity. To determine the velocity of a particle, there must be a motionless reference point, but if all particles are moving simultaneously, nothing is motionless. What then is the reference point?
Aha! It is the collapse of the wave function, my friend. This is a double conundrum. Here’s how I think it works. The mind is a collaboration of particles itself, but the act of observation creates a time distortion by what I think Sartre meant as a nihilation of being. Yes, that’s right, Sartre was an idealist in disguise, but don’t tell anyone, the world is not ready for this yet. Consciousness occurs on a non-linear plane in which its act of observation cancels the synapse…when the neuron ceases to fire, a ‘blank’ in time and space is created, that blank, or total absence of Being is the observation, which extends into a parallel dimension. When a wave function is grounded into a synaptical event, the firing causes the distribution of particles to occur through an electro-chemicle medium, and the data is raw, or ‘unarranged.’ The ‘concept’, or the cognition of awareness, emerges from the parallel dimension, and takes form idealistically, or ‘intentionally’ as the ‘object observed,’ after the energy charge is grounded, or, when the particle position is definite. This is where Plato comes in. The ‘idea’ is the reversal of the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. All concepts exist in another dimension (call it the mind of God) and cannot take shape until spirit, the emergent property of the neural-net, manifests the form of the idea by collapsing the wave function through the synaptical event.
The ‘mind’ is a mirror where essences come through, but as reflections, appearing as reversals. ‘Matter’ is the silhouette of the ‘idea,’ and cannot exist until it is observed or conceptualized, which is metaphorical to viewing the image in the mirror.
The ‘macrocosmic’ moon is an imprint of extremely slow particle positions, existing in a slower time frame then that of the synaptical acceleration. But the concept of the ‘moon’ only exists as the organized series of collapsed wave functions, or data receptions of each individual bit of particle information, as a series of synaptical events creating the observable image of the ‘moon’ as an object and not an idea. The moon is an idea, but cannot exist as such in a spacio-temporal framework. The raw particle information is formless until it is organized into the idea of the ‘moon’ which is already existing in a parallel dimension.
You see, there is no difference between the sensible data of an apple and an air-plane…its all particle activity. The mind is running on a circuit that ‘downloads’ forms from another time dimension…from ‘God’s mind,’ or, if you prefer a monism, from our mind…as we are God.
Now, the questions is, do I need a shrink?
