How Does The Human Brain Create Its Own Reality

The mechanics of self-relfected consciousness and the Maia.

This is one of my favorite topics. It’s an extraordinary mechanism not understood enough.

The Invisible Give Rise to the Visible

The mind, distinct from the brain, acts as a filtering agent that allows us to engage in a life process originating from a different source.

This concept is effectively illustrated by the Iceberg Theory, which demonstrates a fundamental universal principle: the invisible gives rise to the visible.

This principle governs the macrocosm, where the vast majority of the universe (95%) consists of invisible matter that is not atomic in nature. We categorize this as dark matter and dark energy. These form the foundational "environment" from which the material world emerges. Only about 4.9% of the total mass of the universe is atomic in nature.

Similarly, the relationship between the brain and the mind follows this principle but in reverse. The brain, or more specifically, the subatomic components that govern it, represents the potential from which the mind emerges.

We Are a Binary Consciousness

An analogy from the computer world can help clarify this concept: we are a binary consciousness, comprising both hardware and software, combined to create what we call ‘life’.

• The Hardware: corresponds to the intelligence that runs the life process, rooted in the body's consciousness and centered in the brain. This is what we call the unconscious, as we are not aware of the millions of neurons firing each time we lift a hand.

• The Software: represents the psyche, the mind through which we filter and process information. This is our conscious experience, forming our personality and self-perception. The mind acts as a self-reflected agency.

This computer analogy highlights the real hierarchy: just as in a computer, the hardware gives rise to the software, not the other way around.

For instance, the grey matter in our brain collects every aroma, sight, sound, and impression experienced throughout life. Yet, only a tiny fraction of this information is transferred to the conscious mind.

Historically, the illusion of self-reflected consciousness has reversed this hierarchy. The mind (software) has been elevated above the body's intelligence (hardware), which is the true foundation of the life process. This reversal has caused many issues, the misalignment with the natural order, while at the same time, was “allowed”, as it was offset by an “insurance policy”.

How the Agency of Mind Came to Be

The emergence of Homo sapiens, following the Neanderthals, marked the development of a new hardware structure: an expanded neocortex.

This biological infrastructure allowed for a previously non-existent capability—an expanded neocortex, which no other living form; plant, insect, bird, fish, reptile or mammal possess. This new capability led to the emergence of the mind as a new type of awareness, functioning as a self-reflected medium.

Using the computer analogy, this change in infrastructure is like attaching a monitor to a hardware system. The expanded neocortex is akin to a motherboard with a Central Processing Unit (CPU) with its attachment to a visual cortex (akin to a graphics card), forming the "brain" of the system. Just as a monitor projects the potential of the computer's hardware, the neocortex allows the mind's potential to be realized. Without a monitor, a computer's capabilities cannot be fully utilized; similarly, the expanded neocortex is essential for the mind's self-reflected consciousness.

Biologically, that infrastructure was brought up by evolutionary mutations that happened in two distinct places;

• The expansion of the cranium of the skull in order to accommodate a larger brain. At some point 2.4 million years ago, humans actually had a mutation that had to do with the jaw muscles. The very same gene is a mutated gene in all human beings and it reduced the strength of these very muscles which changed the way that we could chew, which meant we couldn't chew the way we used to.
  
  And it also meant that the brain had an opportunity to be able to expand. It’s one of the major differences between us and primates who have retained their very powerful jaws. They have much tighter structuring of the muscle system. And of course that meant that there was a tremendous pressure on the cranium, which didn't allow for any development of neocortex.

• The other mutation was a mutation of the dropping of the larynx. Some 85,000 to 90,000 years ago there was one of the most important mutations that took place and this is the mutation that led to the final expansion of the cranium, and the dropping of the larynx. This dropping of the larynx, over time, had given us the ability to enunciate far more complex sound tones, to be able to communicate that which has been taken as visual information from the environment and by that, be able to transfer that to the other as a communicative medium.

Those two mutational markers had brought the advent of mind as a new awareness: Mental awareness. An awareness that is accentuated by vision as the primary sensor, expressed in a new bioform that did not exist prior: the modern human or Homo sapiens (Cro-Magnon).

Mental awareness is something that can only be identified with us. That is, it is something that belongs to the human family tree. If we look at all mammals, the vision as a sensory faculty is not their dominant one. What is dominant is their olfactory and taste sensors. Sensors that circumscribe their primary and only awareness - the survival awareness. In other words, all forms of life are only endowed with one type of awareness: self-preservation awareness. They do not have a mind.

Each one of these two awareness had a specific development period throughout the time-line of the living organism on planet Earth.

We Still Carry This Mutation

If you watch a newly born baby you will notice that they can drink and breathe at the same time. A trait that still exists among our simian relatives for their entire life span. This is possible due to the mechanism in which the larynx is still in an upward position.

About 9–12 months after birth, this evolutionary mutation kicks-in and the larynx begins to shift and drop. This is the time where the toddler begins to get messy, spitting out their food. It is also the time where the infrastructure that will allow for articulation sets in, which means that it is not possible, mechanically speaking, to articulate and speak before this transition.

When we’re looking at the relationship of survival awareness to mental awareness, mental awareness is something that can only be identified with us. That is, it is something that belongs to the human family tree. And when you're looking at this relationship between the survival awareness and the mental awareness, what you're looking at is the way in which our intelligence to defend ourselves, to protect ourselves; to survive, to find food and shelter, the way all of this was oriented visually. That has a unique value and quality. The ability to focus and pinpoint objects relative to the environment and from that be able to form efficient strategies for survival.

Think about us as creatures, just as creatures. We're not very fast. We're not very strong. We're incredibly vulnerable for at least the first six or seven years of our lives. It's not as if as a carnivore, as a predator that we can stand up against the tiger, the bear, whatever. The advantage for us has always been intelligence and an intelligence rooted in something unusual, the eyes, this binocular vision, this extraordinary mutation in the development of our species going way back in which the eyes evolved from the side to the front so that we can develop this binocular vision.

This binocular vision, with its depth of field, is an incredible thing, isn't it? What it allows us to do is be able to pinpoint objects in a relative space; a visual dimensionality. It is out of that dimensionality that we're able to figure out how to deal with that object in its relative space, that deer that we want to capture so that the tribe can eat, - the planning that goes in hunting it - is all possible because of the visual that establishes the field of play and a way of taking action over a clever, clever, clever species.

With a developed visual cortex, suddenly the entire spectrum of information could be broken to separate infinite pieces - patterns of all kinds - which then could be stored and rearranged in memory. This was also the moment the illusion of time as past, present and future emerged. That is what created the world of relativity: the good and the bad, the high and the low, the hot and the cold, the up and the down, and other infinite polarities, that in essence, are always intertwined with one another and are never really separate.

Over time, the dropping of the larynx provided us with the ability to extract the visual patterns codified in memory and translate them into complex sound formulas thereby,  being able to transmit them to the other. All, for the sake of developing strategies to transcend the low survivability rate inherent in our rather fragile bodies. This is the beginning of strategic thinking. This is the moment that the world moved from an intelligence that was aligned to the natural order, into a strategic oriented one in which the mind has become the dominant authority for decision making. The identification with the mind as the maker of the world. 

Memory

All life is built on patterns. And all patterns can be codified or presented by formulas.

With the advent of the mind, humans gained an extraordinary capability that is nonexistent in any other bioform: mental memory.

This remarkable ability allows us to take in patterns from our surroundings and store them as images in our memory. We can then juxtapose these images, recall them, and create new forms from these mental reconstructions. Some of these forms became tools, a process we call 'imagination'.

The Role of Imagination

The ability to store and rearrange images differently from how they were originally observed marks the beginning of "creation." We first create everything in our minds before these patterns can be materialized. This process has given us a significant advantage, compensating for our relatively fragile bodies.

Thousands of years ago, a Cro-Magnon observing the world would see various shapes and patterns in vegetation, wildlife, and the sky. These patterns would be stored in memory, then reassembled within the mind to become something new. This ability to reassess past experiences and transform them into ideas that could be concretized into material forms enabled the creation of sophisticated tools, allowing us to manipulate and conquer our environment.

This feature has propelled humans to the top of the food chain by enabling the creation of tools and technologies that transcend our physical limitations. However, it's essential to understand that imagination is limited to rearranging observed patterns into new forms.

It also means that you cannot imagine anything you haven’t observed before. What we call ‘imagination’ is simply the rearrangement of patterns to create a new form. We cannot imagine anything we haven’t observed before.

For instance, any monstrous creature from sci-fi, horror, or fantasy movies, while appearing new, is composed of parts that exist in our world: teeth, eyes, heads, hands, nails, and so on. These patterns are simply rearranged and manipulated to create a novel form.

This same process is employed when we create various tools and devices. We do this continuously: any appliance, machine, or form—a car, a radio, a TV—is a synthesis of deconstructed basic shapes that come together to form a whole greater than the sum of its parts. We have long moved past the age of singular, primary inventions like the wheel.

Every modern creation is a result of recombining and refining existing patterns and shapes.

Language

Words—I love words; language is such a fascinating concept. Think about what a dog hears when humans speak. They have no idea what's going on. It's all relative, after all. Without a neocortex, dogs don't reflect on the nuances in speech. They respond to tonal streams. You could say, “I am now going to take out a knife and cut your little throat,” and they would come wagging their tail. The mystery lies in what we do with language.

Our roots as a species, despite our physical limitations, lie in our intellectual ability to communicate at deeply nuanced levels. We can create sophisticated tonal and sound nuances to differentiate things. Language is truly incredible. One of its fascinating aspects is that while we may clutter the surface with words, the real meaning often lies underneath. Language thrives on double entendres—saying one thing while implying another.

Language allows us to give things names. This process started an accelerated evolutionary journey around 85-90,000 years ago, which exploded about 5,000 years ago with the advent of writing and transcendent thought.

Going back 20,000 years, the cumulative understanding was extremely limited compared to today's knowledge.

Imagine 100,000 years ago as Homo Erectus, lacking the infrastructure of a dropped larynx. They roam the land for food, they spot a tree full of fruit, but it's too big to climb alone. They run back to their group , grunt to signal them to follow. Only then do the rest of the group understand what has been found.

With the emergence of this new infrastructure, the ability to articulate visual information, the entire process is tremendously compressed. This compression frees up more time for other activities.

Moreover, language allows us to articulate our experiences stored in memory and weave them into stories.

Perception of Time

Without memory there is no perception of Time. In fact, without memory time does not exist as an illusion.

The moment we gain conscious access to our memory, we perceive the illusion of the 'past'. And because everything operates on the principle of binary, once we perceive the 'past', the illusion of the 'future' immediately emerges as a byproduct.

The mind operates on a different frequency than our survival awareness, which functions only in the 'now'. Instincts warn us in the moment and then disappear; we can't reason with them.

The mind, however, operates across all time frames. We can think about events from today, yesterday, and tomorrow.

The moment we have a 'past'—a memory reservoir where we collect and store our impressions—combined with the ability to articulate, we gain something extraordinary: storytelling. This mechanism allows us to weave our experiences stored in memory into a coherent track, a storyline.

The ability to reflect on the past gives us a new perspective, a fundamental aspect of the human experience. Unlike other animals, humans are uniquely designed to learn and experience life through this "rearview mirror" perspective.

Imagine a small clan sitting by the fire at night, listening to an elder share their experiences of the day: how they waited for hours for a gazelle to reach a certain spot, how they discovered a hidden water reservoir. This is how we began sharing information. Instead of everyone having to experience the same events firsthand, we could listen to others' stories and learn from them. This greatly expanded our collective knowledge.

Over millennia, especially with the advent of written language, we recorded these stories—our "his story"—and formed what we now call history. Our ability to record history has given us superior survival abilities by establishing continuity.

Continuity

Continuity is a very interesting thing. We are the only species on the planet capable of recording its history. Other animals are limited in their ability to transfer experiential wisdom to the next generation. Each offspring must relearn everything from scratch.

Consider a buffalo that accidentally roams away from the herd and gets lost. In its quest to find the herd, it discovers a hidden creek and drinks from it, having been days without water. When it eventually reunites with the herd, it has no means of communicating this discovery.

In contrast, humans have the ability to recall and articulate our experiences, providing us with a tremendous survival advantage. This ability to share and preserve continuity allows us to educate our offspring, expanding our collective consciousness and knowledge across generations.

It is something to really understand about the way we are designed to seek knowledge.

The biggest market is the autobiography and biography genre. We have an enormous interest for the stories of others, it’s built-in in us. We are enriched by it because there is enormous value to be gained by the experiences of others. We well know that it is impossible to experience all the variations of human experiences throughout one’s lifetime.

By collecting, writing, and preserving these stories, we enrich ourselves and expand global consciousness. These stories are shared with future generations so they can learn from the "mistakes" and discoveries of the past without having to relive the same experiences. This process is what we call 'education'.

The various aspects that allow the mind to emerge, supported by biological components such as binocular vision, memory, and articulation, have given us the ability to create and sustain the Maia.

The Maia

You may have encountered the term “Maia” before, especially in New Age contexts, as it is rooted in ancient philosophies. The word ‘Maia’ which comes from Sanskrit, where it translates to “illusion”, and its root, “Ma” translates to “measure”.

If you are truly all alone, truly all alone, what you can know is: I am.

And the moment there is light and you can see the shape of things, there is a possibility you can know: I am here now.

But the moment that you meet another, the moment someone else approaches you and you say: “I am here now” And the other then asks: “Why?” And you say: “Because…”

Now, that’s the beginning of the Maia. It is in this interaction that we start to bring forth reasons, concepts, and ideas, leading to the creation of narratives and games.

This illustrates that the mind functions as a measuring device operating on a juxtaposition principle. It constantly juxtaposes one thing to another, deriving “measurements” or conclusions from these comparisons. A relative singularity, if you will. This process gives rise to relativity—the perception of good and bad, this and that.

In essence, the Maia is the construct of our perceived reality, shaped by our mind's ability to measure, compare, and derive meaning from our experiences and interactions.

This principle is depicted in the Eden mythos as the Tree of Knowledge. The moment we were endowed with a self-reflective mental agency was the moment measurement began, and the Maia came to life. The Maia is the sum total of endless measurements and the relative conclusions derived from them.

The Tree of Knowledge symbolizes the advent of human consciousness, where the act of measuring, comparing, and drawing conclusions from our experiences gave rise to our complex perception of reality. This process of constant juxtaposition and the resulting relative understanding form the foundation of the Maia, the illusion of our perceived world shaped by the mind's continuous assessments.

You see, we are here to organize ourselves and explain things to each other. And in order to explain things to each other we use words and these words are what we call language. And we need to explain things to each other in order to be able to organize ourselves efficiently within a group and agree on a collective direction. We are inherently predisposed to influence and be influenced.

Well, how do we do that? What makes us predisposed to follow someone or be convinced by their words?

It’s the magic of ‘detail’.

We’re predisposed to record and collect the details from our surroundings. And it’s the detail that gives us the recognition that the pattern is stable.

Remember, Life is built on patterns. Everything is patterns and patterns and patterns. To understand the mechanics we need to know the patterns, and we have to know the patterns as they operate theoretically and we have to know the patterns as they operate in practice. And then they can see.

Ah, the detail; how wonderful it is to be able to express things with the right detail. You get people to understand. And this understanding is something that is very liberating.

We’re the first species that can actually express / vocalize our thinking, logical thinking: “I think therefore I am” is rooted here. It’s where the potential to enrich the Maia with the goal of getting all the details. That’s the only reason we're looking for all the details in the logical sense, is that we want to get to a place where we can transcend fear, we want to get to a place where we know that tomorrow is going to be relatively safe for us.

Fear Leads to Intelligence

We have a complex relationship with fear, largely because we misunderstand its primal purpose. The idea that one can conquer fear is a misconception that distorts its true nature, often allowing it to become abnormal.

In reality, fear is a catalyst for intelligence. Without fear, the development of consciousness would not be possible.

Using our computer analogy, awareness—whether survival, mental, or emotional—functions like machine learning: a computer constantly scanning the environment and collecting information. This principle mirrors how our various types of awareness operate.

Our survival awareness, correlated with our immune system, is always running in the background. It does not operate on the basis of self-reflection like the mind does, so we are unaware of its constant activity. It continuously scans the environment, identifying patterns and potential threats. This process runs on a different time frequency.

The immune system scans for threats, whether microscopic (like pathogens) or macroscopic (such as people or events harmful to well-being). This vigilance is driven by fear. Fear prompts our system to be alert and enhances its sophistication and intelligence, improving its ability to identify threats over time.

The fear <-> intelligence binary exists in the mind. Rudimentary mental fears drive our mental agency to seek information, gather details, and review experiences stored in memory. This process aims to achieve understanding and a sense of peace, providing a sense of security and stability.

If we’re going to be secure in this life we need the illusion of a secure future. Nothing creates greater anxiety when you don’t know whether or not the future can be secure.

Everything about humanity is about this binary illusion that keeps us sane. That is, this illusion that there is a tomorrow and it’s going to be okay because we know the pattern, and the illusion that there was a past and it was all right, and we’ve left it behind.

These are illusions that hold us together.

So in order for the Maia to exist we have to be able to do two things:

• We have to be able to detail the Maia and convince you that it’s still going to be here tomorrow, because it isn't here tomorrow.
  Now, that's quite something to grasp. It’s like people go on vacation and they leave their dog. A dog doesn't know you're going on vacation, it can’t grasp that. It can't grasp tomorrow. No way. So, the first way to maintain the Maia is detail. And the detail is that the Maia is going to be here tomorrow.

• The second is that in order to maintain the Maia we need to pretend that it's always existed. You pretend that there is history, you pretend that there's a past. “But it's gone, what past?!” It's only the fact that we keep on saying there was one. We keep on saying “yesterday.” As long as we keep on saying “yesterday” and we really believe that yesterday is something that happened, yesterday happened.

The Maia is very tricky.

The Details are the Facts

In order to have details one must have a predisposition to collecting them and using them. Details are only valuable when they are structured in a logical presentation. This is crucial for conveying information and supporting the illusion of a secure pattern, which we call "facts." The Maia works this way.

In essence, facts are organized details that support the illusion of a stable pattern. People are naturally persuaded by someone who presents detailed facts convincingly. This resonates deeply because, in our lives, we trust those who appear to have the facts.

When someone state “the sun is going to rise tomorrow from the east because…,” they cannot truly know this with absolute certainty. However, by observing the recurring pattern of the sunrise, collecting its details, and organizing them into a coherent explanation, they sustain the illusion of certainty.

In doing that they can influence the other into accepting their formula. We do that all the time. When you get somebody to say “I understand” you have locked them into a pattern. You’re getting them to accept a fixed pattern. This is evident every four years during presidential elections, where candidates try to convince the public that their proposed pattern (policies) is the most secure. They promise a better future, attempting to establish their direction as the most viable for security.

Influence of Organized Details

The same principle underlies scientific studies. Scientists present an organized collection of details to demonstrate a consistent pattern, convincing others of their findings. For example, researchers might say, “We’ve noticed that cancer cells behave this way under certain conditions…” and then provide detailed evidence to support their claims. This organized presentation of details aims to prove a stable pattern.

When we prove something scientifically, we show that the pattern is consistent (which is the definition for what science is).

It's like me writing this essay. I write in such a way in order to elaborate on the details. They become more than just an opinion. Elaborating on the details ultimately can lead to somebody having a deeper understanding and recognition of patterns.

It's part of the educational process. It's the foundation of the way in which we communicate with each other. And it's through our communication that our intelligence is expanded.

The ability to be able to express detail is one of the essential ingredients in humanity's search for what is provable and what is going to protect it and what is going to keep it away from fear. It's all in the details. This is the only place you find a formula: Life is a formula. Cycles are formulas. Being is a formula. All forms are formulas. It's all formulas.

The Maia is Alive

The Maia is not just made up of theoretical explanations and formulas; we concretize it into tangible forms. Every explanation leads to a formula, every formula leads to the development of frameworks and methodologies, and these demand appropriate skills. These skills become part of our educational process and our daily lives.

Take radiology, for example. It is a skill set derived from the development of tools like the X-ray machine, MRI, and PET scanner. These sophisticated machines began as theoretical explanations that led to formulas and were eventually concretized into physical forms. Once these machines were developed, we had to explain how they work, create manuals, and develop an educational framework to teach the necessary skills.

This process involves incorporating the solutions provided by these machines into medical school curricula, teaching new skills to interpret images and operate the machinery. We then assign appropriate titles to organize these skill sets into professions, such as radiologist and radiographer.

It doesn't end there - remember the goal is always about organization: how do we become better and more efficient?

This is where laws come in to sustain and improve our concretized Maia. Laws establish order and organized flow within society, intertwined with the development of our tools and skills. For instance, the invention of the car required the development of suitable roads and new laws to sustain that framework.

The Maia is constantly upgraded - it’s alive. We keep adding new stuff into it and take out old stuff out of it (however, not as often as it should). There are so many things that are no longer in the Maia because we don’t they are no longer necessary. Concepts, formulas, frameworks, skills, laws, words, and forms are regularly updated.

For example, the profession of a horse cobbler is no longer integral because we replaced horse-drawn carriages with cars. Consequently, the related skills and laws are no longer part of our collective Maia. This constant updating ensures that our societal framework remains relevant and efficient.

However, we do not remove outdated elements from the Maia as quickly as we introduce new ones. This imbalance reveals the underlying reasons for many inefficiencies in the world. A major part of this issue is ignorance, stemming from a lack of education about the mechanics of mental awareness and the nature of the Maia.

Personal ambitions driven by exaggerated, unresolved fears fuel human greed, disrupting the balance and distorting the Maia. For instance, although we are capable of implementing free energy solutions globally, we still rely on fossil fuels and electric power, which are both primitive technologies.. This reliance stunts humanity's progress and perpetuates further inefficiencies, enlarging disparity .

Ultimately, everything comes down to enhancing our ability to use less energy while achieving greater returns. Addressing these inefficiencies and educating ourselves about the Maia is crucial for creating a more balanced and efficient systems.

No Mind, No Maia

It has become fashionable to claim we are living in a simulation. What is often misunderstood is that we are the simulation. We create it with every breath; it is a product of our mental agency—a projection machine that constructs and expands our world daily. We continuously enrich it with new names, words, and explanations.

The Maia is expressed in its detail, it’s remembered, and the growth of the Maia is rooted in the explanation because we explain new things about the Maia all the time. We make it up all the time.

Every day when you wake up in the morning you make up the Maia. You make it up from memory and our memory sustains it. Every moment of every day we’re making up the Maia and concretizing it into something solid.

When you pick up the knife to smear butter on your breakfast toast there is a memory in you that subconsciously reaffirms to you that this metal object is called a knife and that its purpose is to cut, or that it can be used in other ways as to smear things with.

Why do you think we revere Alzheimer’s Disease as so vicious?

Because it cuts off one’s memory and they’re no longer able to participate in the Maia. At least not the collective Maia. They may have their own little, personal, inside Maia but it’s all restricted and deeply limited. They lose their continuity. They lose their connection with the environment.

Our Personal Maia Leads to the Expansion of the Collective Maia

Each human being codifies their personal experiences and observed patterns into language, translating them into explanations that can be shared with others, thereby expanding the collective Maia—the "simulation." This process has been ongoing for thousands of years.

Consider Einstein. When he first conceived the principle that would become the Theory of Relativity, it was not part of the collective Maia. It existed solely within his personal, intense little Maia. It had nothing to do with the collective Maia. It wasn't in the world. It didn't matter that it was in him, it wasn't in the world.

Now, these concepts and words are part of our collective consciousness. They have gained density and substance because they are supported by detail. This detail adds to the richness of the Maia, and the process continues.

This is part of the process of bringing any theoretical information into implementation and into reality, and so much of it is done in communication.

The Garden Theme

All of this has been very, very, very fast, and it is a slice in time. That's all it is. It's a slice. It's the garden theme; the Eden story. For me it's very clear it's a convenient and a suitable mythology.

The last 85-90,000 years - this is the garden movie. It’s when the larynx dropped and we were able to open up our potential to enunciate and literally create the density of the Maia. We began this long process of reproduction and the search for knowledge.

It is the great binary of what it is to be us (go forth and multiply); keep on reproducing the form, because every form can be a mutation that leads to a better form, and a better form is a form that allows for greater self-reflected consciousness. At the same time, to exercise that consciousness in the pursuit of knowledge. This is the ongoing binary. The capacity to go out and see the world, not just be in it.

It’s a nice myth for those values.

When you think about the Adam and Eve mythos, one of the things to recognize about that mythos is that when we first meet them they're just endowed with a survival awareness. They're like any other mammal. Their ignorance, lack of awareness, or lack of potential for awareness often has the look of peacefulness and simplicity; just enjoying being in the world; nothing more, nothing less: The cow in the pasture munching grass. Not even being aware that one is aware that one is enjoying.

By the time we‘re finished with the story, they are thrust out, the veil is lifted from their eyes, the analogy to clothing, the veil is dropped from their eyes, the world can be seen, the corruption of the world can be seen, the beauty, the ugliness, the this, the that, and they're sent on this trail of building up the Maia until it gets to a point of density that it has its own life.

Oh, what a tiny, porous, wussy-like Maia we had 20,000 years ago. There was no alphabet, there were rudimentary languages. You had a vocabulary of maybe 75 words. You had a Maia that almost wasn't there. We can't imagine that.

We can't imagine that at all. I don't think that most human beings have the capacity to recognize how illusionary this density actually is. If you were in some little tribe 20,000 years ago your world is so tiny. It's not simply that the Maia isn’t dense, the Maia is so restricted. It's a tiny little zone with a few ways of describing this and that and the rest is just, “what's going on?!”

And look at the Maia we live in now, - wow! It's so dense that none of us are able to take it all in.

Take the English language for example, it has something like one million functional words, of which about half are technical. That's a density of Maia. That’s coming a long way from having 75 words.

It’s the first time in human history that most human beings are only able to survive with appliances and sophisticated tools that they don't really know how they work. The Maia is so dense that we are forced to be relatively ignorant of its density.

One key aspect of the expansion of consciousness and building the density of the Maia is that it eventually reaches a tipping point and explodes. We have accumulated an immense amount of detail, much of which is insignificant or disconnected, yet it contributes to the overall process. Language plays a crucial role in this, as it allows us to share terminology and ideas, making the expansion of global consciousness possible.

Technological advancements such as telegraph lines, radio, television, and now the internet have progressively enabled us to share information simultaneously. This process has led to everyone being immersed in the same detail at the same time, creating a dense, interconnected whole that we refer to as "globalization."

This explosion of shared potential has given us the ability to explore and understand our environment in unprecedented ways. We can fulfill the mythos. We can have the fruit and we can have the tree and we can examine its roots, and this is the whole package of cognition.

To transcend the Maia, we must encompass all its contents. This steady state signifies that when there are no more mysteries and the game is over. We are approaching that point, where we understand the nature of being and the mechanics of the Maia. We are very close to achieving this complete understanding, which represents the final window of comprehending everything within the Maia and how it functions.

In essence, the continuous expansion and densification of the Maia, driven by shared language and technological advances, bring us closer to a profound understanding of our existence and the nature of reality.

In the next and final post of this series, I will examine the other side of the arc—what the Maia has done to us in our current times, and how crucial it is to understand its machinations; otherwise, one risks being devoured by it.
