The Fundamental Argument

There is Awareness and therefore Existence

The very questioning of this proposition self-evidently implies a subject who exists and is aware

Awareness is the fundamental field of Experience and occurs directly in a moment called "now"

Awareness over time is Experience

Experience over time develops within the complex dynamical system called the "person"

The person is expressed through multiple dimensions some objective and some subjective

Body, appearance, behavior and symbolic expression are the objective dimensions of the person.

The fundamental categories of the subjective dimensions of the person, known as the aggregate fields of experience, are:

Form

Perception

Conceptualization

Volition

Awareness

Other dimensions of awareness include:

Identity

Dreaming

Deep Sleep

Each dimension has its own unique characteristic topology and transformations that develop through experience

Each dimension is connected to each other dimension in characteristics ways that also develop through experience

These intra- and inter-dimensional relationships define the characteristic ways of a person and impact the characteristics of the awareness of the present moment.

The momentum of the past experience on the now is called karma

Karma is a second derivative of awareness over time and a first derivative of experience over time.  The slope of the tangent to the vector of experience is the vector of the karmic impact.  The Integration of the awareness over time (Experience), from birth to death, is the manifestation of the amount of quality of experience

Experience is both quantitative and qualitative,

ie experience is vectoral (tensoral) with magnitude and direction

The direction of experience is defined by the qualities attached to that which is experienced and the karma (ie learned conditionings) of the person

Mental objects being experienced change the very topology of the experience by the impact of the karma of past experience attached to this object and thus change the vectoral field to attract the object or to repel it or to be indifferent.

Positive Quality experiences lead to more valuable experiences

Negative Quality experiences increases suffering

The person has the opportunity to influence the momentum of past negative karma by willing to increase (or decrease) the quality of the present experience and cultivating positive karma

[{ Impact of Objective Reality} x {Transformations of Being} x {Karma}] x [synchronistic constant]=   Experience and Expression of the Person = Manifestation

Experience is perceived as a flow, caught on the edge of the wave of past karma

The flow of Experience can be calm or turbulent based on the nature of the mental objects and the reactions to contacting these objects.

Turbulence is oriented to either the past or the future, like a coriolis effect clockwise or counter clockwise

The seed of the vortex is an attachment or avoidance of a value.  

Calm reaction and concentration and continual effort tend to keep the experience remain oriented with the now

Ignorance, arrogance, Impulsion, compulsion, inhibition, exhibition ,indulgence and avoidance, illusion and delusion are all based on conditioned attachment or avoidance to some desire (perceived value) that leads the turbulent momentum of future experience towards less quality.

Thus are the seeds of suffering

Thus the opportunity for the path of freedom from suffering

Dharma is the name of the path towards freedom from suffering that a person can make in the now to move in the direction of less suffering.  Dharma is the redirection of the momentum of karma towards maximal freedom from suffering, that is, the greatest experience and expression of quality. 

Each being has an "Integrity Constant" (cf Q-factor of resonance) at any particular moment, that represents the tendency of the being to move towards resonance with the highest quality of experience, Dharma.  This constant is a measure of the curvature of the manifold of experience, defining the slippery slope towards suffering or towards value.  Negative slopes of the topology of experience represent the negative karma and it's despair. Positive slopes, the blessings.

 Structural Geometry of the Topology of Being

Introduction to the Manifold of Experience

I can only speak for my experience.  This experience may not even be “mine”, but I can at least speak for the very self-evidence that there is some being, who is experiencing.   The fact of this awareness implies a subject who is experiencing.  It may not be “me”.  “I” could be dreaming that I am I; I could indeed be someone (or something) else.   Somewhere in the here and now, a being exists that is aware.  All else may not be as they seem.

I cannot speak for your experience.  I can hardly speak for “mine”.  I can vouch for this experience of the here and now.  All else beyond this fact is speculation; Speculation that is descriptive and approximate.  Even to say “there is…, therefore….” is too many words.   The statement should be even more like:

Awarenessà Existence

            But a statement is still a statement, a descriptor, an abstraction.  The truth of the statement lies in the experience itself, in the very moment of this subject experiencing.  These words are to communicate the idea.  Basic propositions should especially be careful to not semantically confuse the words for the meaning.  Experience is what simply is.  Experience is the essential ontological principle.   I comprehend every aspect of my being through experience. No experience, no comprehension.   Experience is the essential epistemological principle.  All that is valuable comes through experience; Quality is not possible without experience.  Experience is the essential aesthetic principle.  Experience seems the most real;  What my senses see, may not be real;  Experience is the host of reality.  Experience is the essential metaphysical principle. 

            Ontology is the study of being—the who

            Epistemology is the study of comprehension—the how

            Aesthetics is the appeciation of value—the why

            Metaphysics is the study of the principlizing forces of experience

            Principlizing force:  the who, how and why that determines an effect

Experience is the who, how and why of being, i.e., the Principle of our life.

There may be much that lies beyond experience.  It seems like there is a physical reality. It seems like I continue to exist, even though I sleep.  It seems like other people exist and have experience.  All this “seems like…” is worthy to explore and speculate upon.  Indeed, these other domains seem to capture the speculation of many. The frame of reference of this speculation will be oriented with experience as its domain.  Whatever other aspects of “Reality” that exists beyond experience is some other domain. 

Experience has as its most fundamental unit a “moment of attention”, which can be called “awareness”.  Experience is awareness over time.   Awareness is not just a magnitude, but it also has direction.  Awareness is a vector.  The direction of awareness is towards a mental object.  A mental object is a region of our experience that has certain qualities.  A mental object is projected through a sensation, a cognition, an intuition, or a volition.  These four realms –sensation, cognition, intuition, volition-- are the fundamental dimensions of our experience.  Intuition is the direct insight of experience with its ability to distinguish the other dimensions, i.e. that which beholds the others and determines their relationship.   These dimensions, though connected, have functions, transformations and representations that are dimension specific.  

Topology is the study of space.  Space is that which has dimension.  The topology of experience is the study of the structures, functions, transformations and representations of mental objects within the dimensions of awareness over time.   The topology of experience is the apprehension of the regions of who, how and why we are.  Morality is the disciplines adhered to in the expression of a principle.  Morality is how a principle is manifest.   Studying morality allows us insight into the characteristics of the intentions and  skills of experiencing and expressing quality.  Quality is that which is distinguishable.

A “quale” is the fundamental unit (point) of a discrimination.  Each quale is often surrounded by other quale that qualitatively share a space.  A region is an area around a point.  A region from afar seems like a point.  A point close up is a region of regions.  Qualia can be defined as a region of quale.  A qualia can be described as a group of quale that form a qualitative matrix.  The matrix itself has characteristics that are composed of regions of distinguishable characteristics.  A mental object has component quale and qualia, just like a region of physical object is made up of smaller areas.  Mental objects are the phenomena that occur on the manifold of experience.  The manifold of experience is the very surface of the here and now as our awareness flows through time; it is the screen upon which mental objects are appreciated by awareness.

The domain of experience has many nooks and crannies, its space is huge, vast, and seemingly unlimited; yet my experience is confined within this being, here and now. 

The phenomena of my experience is seemingly unique, though shared through representation. Experience, though it can be represented, is not the representation.  Experience is the beholding and/or expression of a representation with a form of a sensation, cognition, intuition and/or volition.  The forms have characteristics, relationships and dynamics that develop through time and influence the present awareness.  The attachment of meaning and value onto the mental objects determine how and why we move towards a particular way with our awareness.   These values and meanings are the very quale and qualia of the objects, projected onto mental objects by preconceived notion.  

This preconceived notion is the conditioned (learned) response to a mental object and determines much about our sensations, cognitions, intuitions and volitions.   Our habits, tendencies and traits develop from the momentum of the force of attachment to a mental object and groups of mental objects.  The topological characteristics of the dimensions of our experience change as we gain experience.  Awareness becomes a vectoral field that accommodates or repels a mental object based on the qualities of past experience.  The field of awareness is disturbed and enhanced by the learnings we bring to experience.  The topology of experience is the study of how the field of awareness changes quantitatively and qualitatively over time.

            Many objects come in and out of the field of awareness.  The mental object has intrinsic qualities based on the object itself, as well as projective characteristics.  The intrinsic characteristics have two fundamental classes within experience:  “open eyed” vs “close eyed” , i.e., objects based on those in the world, and those which we purely “imagine” on our screen of consciousness.  Each object has an initial resolution, and the further resolution is based on the urgency/interest of attention.  It takes time for the image to become clear as to its form, though it seems instantaneous, because time itself is relative to perception.  The object, once recognized, is then reflexively either “wanted”, “repelled” or neutral.  This is augmented by the categorization and naming processes that classify and further implicate that object. A mental object as a whole can be named, regions of that object can be named, and the implications of that object can be named, assigning a word onto a mental object (or a mental event as the groups and neighborhoods of objects move through time)

            These perceptual quale and qualia are categorized with in the context of the other regions of current experience and can be called “event qualia”, or more simply, an event.  An event is a qualitative (i.e. value/meaning) matrix occurring over time.  These V-matrixes (Value/meaning – i.e. Qualitative Matrices ) are regions of data points of recognitions and their projections that clue consciousness to evaluate an event in a certain way.  These evaluations have implication for experience. 

            A matrix is a way of correlating a group of characteristics.  The particular “way of correlating” is dependent on the functions of the particular dimension of consciousness provoked (or invoked).  The matrix forms naturally as part of experiential functions themselves and though is amenable to mathematics, is not necessarily a mathematical function.  Math, especially pure math as opposed to applied math, is experiential and part of experiential functioning.  Most of what we call “Mathematics” are conceptual functions that utilize patterns of logic, categorization and relationship.  Semantics are also conceptual functions, where a name is assigned to a V-matrix.  Both math and semantics are part of experience.

Quale and qualia have vectoral implications onto consciousness, in as much as they “move” consciousness in a certain way.  These matrices are matrices of vectors and describe the forces that influence the direction of our attention, feelings, understanding and motivated actions.    These matrices are the connections of our past, filtered and transformed through the present, taking us into the future.    Matrices are useful because they are recognition of the preconceived correlation that our experience does and stores in the form of memories, beliefs, attitudes, moods etc. that influence how we conceive of mental objects and events. 

Consciousness itself is correlative, searching for connections of similarity and difference, discriminating the meaning and implication.  Those connections, though somewhat under conscious control, are not fully dependent on awareness itself.  The screen of consciousness and its awareness is most certainly dependent on many functions that go beyond experience.  How the mind works physiologically and subconsciously is of great concern and importance, but is a different study.  This is a study of the topology of experience.  Ontology includes the study of the physiology and unconscious influences on our being.  Though this treatise will discuss ontology and other forces influencing experience, the primary focus of this study will be from within the boundary of the manifold of experience itself, not from the physical world, not from a social or ecological world, not even from a unconscious world, but solely from that which is aware. 

            Thus the boundary of the manifold of this particular study will be all of experience over time.  Experience is a worthy study and has been historically a focus of much speculation.  This study of experience will not reflect on the historical speculation however, but on experience itself.  The reader is expected to look, not to the works of persons past, but to their own experience to justify the reasonableness of these words, remembering that these words will be oriented to the dimension of that which we are aware. 

Being includes the form of a person, plus experience.  Experience includes the experience of the sensation of the physical form, but is not the physical form itself.   A sensation of the form is not the form itself, but sensation of the form.  Likewise, behavior is part of experience, but is distinct from experience.  The study of behavior is thus saved for a different study.  Behavior is an important study, as is physics, but this is a study of that which occurs experientially to determine behavior.  Personality is the domain of being, that includes experience, body, and behavior, overtime.  Though a very worthy study, this study will focus on the experiential aspects of personality.

Even physics itself will be oriented towards the physics of experience, i.e. how mental objects and events determine their dimensional expression.  That which we perceive, mental objects, have characteristics and relations and most certainly are related to our quality of life.  If we can “see” or “hear” or even imagine them, then they have form.  If these forms change and seem connected with physical reality, they may be, but this focus will be concerned with physical reality as it is portrayed our experience.  Part of the reason experience and physical reality seem connected is because experience at times accurately reflects the physical reality.  But our experience is fundamentally distinct from physical reality no matter how convincing our sensations.  Sensations are sensations.  Perceptions are perceptions.  Conceptions are conceptions.  And physical objects are different from these. 

“Open eyed” perceptions seem to especially accurately reflect the laws of physics.  But even these seemingly accurate reflections are only reflections, or more appropriately, projections.  More of our experience is based on expectations of physics to hold true.   As we watch the external world, we are convinced of its way.  Objects tend to fall, heat dissipates, etc, etc, in the physical world, but they have much different properties in the experiential world.  The experiential world is creative and full of possibilities.  We can imagine or dream or belief things that are totally fallacious in the physical world, but quite true experientially.  Experience has its own characteristic ways.

Objects on the screen of consciousness have other characteristics different than physical objects.  Mental objects require our attention, for one, to exist.    Mental object can bring forth further reaction in our experience.  If an object can cause a reaction, then we can say that forces are involved in experience.  Metaphysics is the study of these forces that move and determine the dimensional expression of mental objects.  Mental objects have form, quality, relation, transformation and a myriad of other characteristics that imply an opportunity for studying and modeling. 

The manifold of experience would qualify as a nonlinear dynamical system.  Nonlinear means that what enters into the system is not necessarily directly related to what comes out of the system.  Dynamical means the characteristics of change.  A system means the manifold of experience itself, its subgroups, states and transformations.  This treatise on the topology of experience models experience as a creative, nonlinear, dynamical system and develops a paradigm to understand the forces that move experience. Mental objects are experientially valueladen.  Every mental object has characteristics intrinsic to the perception itself, yet this is imbued value, meaning and implication as it is projected in future time and correlated with the past.   The mental object depends on both it intrinsic perceptual characteristics, but also its projective characteristics as the object is accommodated by experience.

Before further discussing the characteristics of mental objects, it would be wise to examine the topological characteristics of the manifold of experience itself, as the objects are “illuminated”, so to speak, or “come into existence” through attention.  Let us continue by examining the experiential manifold itself. 

Experience seems conceptually to have four distinct but related subspaces, namely sensation, cognition, intuition and volition.   Each of these subspaces seem to have fundamentally different qualities, relationships and transformations.  They are each separate with separate properties shared by their local neighborhood, and they are each connected through awareness.  Experience is that which is aware of the other dimensions and is the matrix upon which the others transform.  The four subspaces each have conceptual subspaces or regions that are qualitatively distinct enough to recognize them as distinct.  In other words, experience has to “look” in different places to see the objects in distinct subspaces.  Also connected to experience are a “spiritual” dimension and a sleep dimension.  Below is a schematic of the dimensions of experience.

Experience is more than these main regions and their mental objects.  Experience has intrinsic qualities that changes over time but remains appearing continuous in identity, but distinct in time.  Experience seems to temporarily stop in deep sleep, when drugged, in coma and yet, when we awaken, usually we identify identifying characteristics to that which is identifying.  Experience seems to be the subject who is experiencing.  This aspect of experience that seems responsible for being the identifier, I call “me”, it is also call “ego”.  Ego is the identifying aspect of experience that determined the frame of reference for experience.  Though it is possible to have multiple egos, most people have a singular sense of “me-ness” that is the seat of subjectivity of its being. 

            Thus, if there is a coordinate system imposed on experience, then ego would often be considered the (0,0,0) of the vector space.  The surface of the manifold of experience, though it has mental objects from the sub-regions, is referenced from a core of value-meaning V-matrices that are in resonance with a person’s identity system.   In other words, the metric by which mental objects are measured are referenced to an identifying matrix, which is called an “Egoic Matrix”.  Egoic matrices determined the metrics for the topology of experience, which are projected onto the manifold of experience itself.  The egoic matrices set the standards by which the valueladeness of mental objects are appreciated.   The projection of egoic values give weight and determination to mental objects. 

            Experience itself is changed by the projection it illumines the object.  The object may call forth a valueladeness, but the subject must have the a priori capacity to respond with a further projection.  The projectability of experience is based on the conditioned (learned) capacities, instinct and will.  However it occurs, it most certainly does occur, and every mental object has a value-matrix associated with it.

            A word is the name for a linguistic symbol assigned to a meaning.  Every value matrix is named by the word that most closely approximates the discrimination of the qualia.  Words are frequently assigned to quale and qualia.              Qualia abstract into feelings and moods, and concepts and beliefs, intuitions and hopes as they are projected into the sub-dimensions of experience and attached to a value-matrix.  Attention then tends to either pursue a mental object or avoid it;  it is this very tending that determine the future momentum of the tendency of a similar mental object to be pursued or avoided in a similar way.  The impact of past experience on the present is called karma, and can be thought of as the impedance of experience to behold an object for what it is. 

Karma is the impact of past experience on the now.   Experience is the change of awareness over time.  Karma is the tendency for experience to remain in its same qualitative direction.   Karma is the conditioning of past experience to behold mental objects in certain ways.  Karma changes the manifold of experience to repel, attract or remain neutral to a mental object by being a major determinant of the vectoral field of experience.   Karma is the second derivative of awareness over time, experience being the first derivative.  As the derivative of experience over time, karma reveals the qualitative direction of the way of a person’s experience.  Experience conditions experience and through experience, we project existence, meaning and value onto a here, now experience which further conditions our experience. 

Experience is value ridden and as such is subject to the polarization that quality offers.  As such, the coordinates of the metric imposed on the surface of experience is based on the polarization of quality.    A mental object is experienced as being or not being true, good or bad, right or wrong.    Existence, meaning, and value are part of the intrinsic nature of experience and thus the topological characteristics of experience are polarized as mental objects participate with the manifold of experience.   Existence, meaning and value are that which an experiencer seeks to fulfill.  A mental object that moves a being towards this fulfillment will be said to be moving in the “positive” direction.  A mental object that moves a being away from fulfillment, that is, towards suffering, will be said to be moving in the negative direction.  The name of the positive coordinate will be called the dharmic direction.

The essential characteristic of awareness is that it is oriented towards fulfillment and away from suffering.  This fulfillment is by flourishing as a being, experiencing and expressing value and meaning.  A mental object coming into awareness will “move” a being towards or away from an apparent fulfillment or suffering (or remain neutral), based on the being’s projection of value onto that mental object.   The word “apparent” is especially important as it recognizes that a being can deceived oneself into believing that an object will be fulfilling if attached to in certain way, when in fact it is detrimental and adds to suffering.  This is because a being chooses to attach “apparent” meaning from a particular egoic reference frame onto the experiential manifold, and though it seemed right from its egoic perspective, the “positive” direction was skewed by the egoic perspective. 

Thus the dharma of a person is the name of the direction of a person’s preferred way towards fulfillment and away from suffering.  A person’s karma is the direction of the momentum of a person’s qualitative way at a particular time and place.   Karma is tied intimately with the egoic reference frame, but dharma is not.  Dharma is tied in with the very nature of the manifold of experience itself.  The Dharmic nature of experience itself is called our “essential-nature” which is that aspect of our awareness which is true, meaningful and valuable beyond conditioned experience.  Essential-nature represents the equilibrium of the fundamental resonant frequency.  When one’s karma is aligned with the dharmic field then one is in congruence with one’s most precious way. 

When one projects on a mental object in a way that adds to the preciousness of experience, then this person has integrity and is following one’s dharma.  A person’s integrity quotient is a measure of how effectively a being is while aligning one’s karma with one’s dharma.  Wisdom is the skill of bringing about fulfillment.  Wisdom is the path of discipline that a being takes to bring about a principlized change in their experience.  Wisdom is how one aligns one’s karma to fulfills one’s dharma and this is done through morality.  Morality is the very discipline adhered to that brings about quality.  Morality is what takes place at the moment of the here and now and is the rudder that steers a being through experience.  Morality has its opportunity at the moment of mental formation and attachment.  Clinging onto a past conditioning or apprehension of a future potential brew the karmic tendencies to keep us from resonating with the fundamental dharma field.  Morality is how we steer ourselves into fulfillment or despair given the present currents and conditions.  Wise morality is cultivating a friendly current and steering through tough conditions with grace.

Even beings with skill are thrown into a wobble by the forces of nature and the burden of living in this treacherous world.  The path of excellence is an ideal vision for most sentient creatures, yet there is a practical level of attainment for which we are obligated to pursue.  The level of mastery of the skill of treading the disturbances and cultivating grace, is a measure of maturity of a creature as it strives to move its experience into higher quality.  Every person has a unique capacity to bring about their hopes.  Every ones hopes are unique and characteristic.  A hope is a mental formation that characterizes the intention of a being to manifest a principle.  A hope for a particular mental object to manifest can be represented as a value matrix that a person attaches to the differentiated principle.  A differentiated principle is a conceptual matrix that relates a group of qualitative associations around a specific ideal value matrix.  The value matrix is made up of word representations that relate the conceptual qualia to the differentiated principle. 

The differentiated principle represents what can be recognized as the qualitative eigenvector of that value-matrix.  It sets the basis for the vector field that differentiates it and compares it with other frames value vector fields.  This eigenvector is the frame of reference to which ego attaches, and to identify the qualities of a mental object it is presently considering.  The eigenvector of a matrix of quale/qualia defines its characteristic nature to which ego attunes/skews meaning and implication.  Each mental object is assigned a word as representing the eigenvector to which value matrix it describes. 

Consciousness, itself, i.e., the field of here-now awareness, has a frame of reference that is not necessarily dependent on the attachment to mental objects, but as experience is identified with mental objects, conciousness identifies from an egoic frame of reference which sets the basis for the manifold of present awareness.   This egoic reference frame is the experientially preferred super-set of related subsets of the identified value matrices that characterize a tendency towards a particular attachment to an identified mental object.   The tendency towards the object represents a skew of the present awareness field to characterize the mental object in a certain way.   This skew is measured by the very change in the manifold of awareness as a being beholds a mental object.  This “learned response” is filtered and processed by the functions and transformations of experience.  A lot of quale and qualia are instantaneous judged and related, categorized and named.  The name is the linguistic symbol for the eigenvector basis of the particular qualitative differentiation. 

This qualitative basis stirs experience in a characteristic way, inducing the field of awareness to behold a mental object or event in a certain way.   The “way” is the direction of consciousness and is the skew of the manifold of awareness itself as it contacts the object.  The space of awareness is “curved” by the qualitative “weight” of the mental object.  It is the characteristic of the beholding itself to accommodate a mental object by identifying with its form as having value-meaning characteristics.  This curvature is the attraction or repulsion to the object itself as we react to the contact, and can be appreciated by the application of differential topology to the manifold of awareness. 

Differential topology studies the curvature of space.  Our experience itself “warps” both internal and external “reality” as we seek to comprehend what is happening.  These warpings are a measure of our attachment to behold reality in a certain way.  Consciousness gives weight to mental objects.  The mental objects have their intrinsic differentiated characteristics (quale and qualia—c.f. mass) and their egoically projected characteristics that give weight to the mass, so to speak.  The weight is the curvature of experience towards or away from or neutral to that object and is the accommodation of that object in the region of awareness.   

The manifold of awareness flows over time.  Time, not as compared to our watches, but as compared to the experience of change from one moment to another.  The manifold of experience flows forward and is experientially continuous, but can be appreciated as discrete events.   It is possible to relate experience to the time on our watches, but that is a different time.  Experiential time reflects the apparent time relation of a moment of awareness to some other moment.   Different metrics are applied to that apparent time relation.  The past and future potentialities of a mental object are projected onto the present qualitative characteristics.  The “past” is a sense of apparent order of memories and the future, a sense of implication;  these both are projected onto the present moment of an object as we comprehend.   Time metrics can include this sense, or other frame of reference, both internal and external. 

A metric, that by which we measure, may reflect an experiential sense of a temporal relation that closely correlates to the watch and calendar.  Memories of events are often remembered categorized as such.  “I remember in 1952 when…”.  Experiential metrics of time may include a sense of the momentary time of day and time of year etc.  But mental objects need not necessarily be temporally categorized according to an external metric.   Our experience of time is often based on internal metrics of how “long” an event was.  Often the length of time is correlated to the qualities of the apparent mental object itself, some objects inducing time to go “faster” or “slower”.  Time is variable according to the identifications of the egoic frame of reference and to the perceived temporal change of characteristics of the objects themselves. 

The topology of experience appreciates an extrinsic frame of reference for time and space, but these are limited and not fully characteristic of the experience of time and space.  Time and space is even more dependent on our quality of our awareness as it beholds objects.  Mental objects change their characteristics over experiential time and the diffentiation of the curvature of experiential space at a moment is in relation to this particular time.  External time is the time of physics, but not meta-physics.  Metaphysics can also employ a Riemannian metric that is similar to the spacetime curvature of minkowskian space, but here the metric is correlative to experiential time and space.   

A Riemannian metric is a coordinate system projected on the experiential manifold that measures relationship amongst mental objects by orienting them to the norm of the surface of experience.  The vector norm itself is the projection of the metric onto the surface of experience and it is the karma of the being as they attach to a particular mental object in a particular way.  This vector norm can be the egoic norm, or it could be any norm, say for example “Mormonism”.  The objects on the field of awareness can be related to the conceptual norms of “Mormanism” as conceived by the experiencer.  “Mormonism” might represent the fundamental ideological framework by which other ideologies are compared.  Mormonism represents a belief matrix with qualia that determine the belief standards for those who believe.  These qualia are filtered for and against as the person goes through experience.

The egoic norms are weaved into the vector fields of awareness as the value momentums attachable to mental objects.  They are the projections of the qualitative Riemannian surface with a vectored norm similar in topology to what is called a banach space.  Experience is a banach space inasmuch as the surface of experience is vector-normed by the projections of the egoic matrices.  Mental objects occupy not usually a neutral field with awareness, but a field that is qualitatively attractive or repulsive based on the experiential karma. 

The submanifolds of experience are also prone to Riemannian surface projection and vector field tendencies.  Sensations bring us an image of the physical world.  This physical world is reconstructed, so to speak, onto the surface of the manifold of awareness.  Color, brightness, hue, contrast, saturation, sharpness, contour, texture and spatial extension and relation are momentarily appreciated into meaning, value and implication.  Thousands of independent regions are joined into a perceptual matrix that reflects the physical world.  Each of the parts find relation to the whole, and the whole to the parts.  We judge distance, time and dynamics and project our construction onto the image itself.  The object is experience with a metric and norm projected onto it and acted upon accordingly.  Somehow the math , semantics and logic are done, automatically computed, as experience appreciates the value, meaning and implication of a sensation weighted by the projected karma of the person. 

Experience allows us to play with the projection of other metrics and norms than our egoic ones.  Through out our life, egoic norms are constantly changing and our innate capacity to accurately reflect physical reality and the capacity to utilize the abstract tools of experiential reality grow and mature.  A being can see things from a variety of different ways.  We have the ability to abstractly consider which projection onto the mental object is most appropriate.  Mental objects, especially symbolic ones, have the ability to represent different meanings and parallel considerations as to meaning and value as we ponder our choices. 

Feelings, as a submanifold of the submanifold sensation, since they are intrinsic and purely subjective, are especially prone to strong karmic momentums.  Feelings can provoke strong conviction as we pursue/avoid the experience and expression of mental objects.  Physical objects and events don’t “make us feel” a certain way as some people say, rather, the object induced our feelings to be a certain way, but the induction required that our field be accommodating to the projection.  An object requires that the awareness field be inducible in a certain way.   The qualitative capacity to be inducible is an important part of learning.  A magnet can induce a magnetic filing into its magnetic field, but the filing must be magnetic.  A person must be inducible to be able to conceive of the meaning of value of an object or event.  This inducibility is a measure of the capacity of a mental object to attach to a particular value matrix.  

The object as an inductance onto awareness to see it in a certain light.  This inductance is qualitative as well as quantitative and is primarily projected.   An object qualitatively resonates with a qualitative field (e.g. an egoic norm) and if it falls within a certain degree of contextual coherence,  we proceed on its implication.  The object has inductance, but the field must be inducible.  Perception of physical sensations induce experience in a fundamentally different way than purely imaginary mental objects.  Physical objects often require a different sense of urgency.  The resonance is based on the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the value matrices, and this occurs on the sensation, cognitive, volitional experiential dimensions. 

There are physical reality based forms that our sensations report to us and there are many other forms beyond the physical that extend onto our awareness.  Awareness can differentiate into so many specific subdimensions of discrimination onto the field of objects, and each of these attentions occur with a level of resolution.  Awareness is not always clear;  in other words awareness is fuzzy.  Yet objects on the manifold of awareness do participate with geometric and topological relation, fuzzy although it may be. 

Tone, light, texture, pressure, spatial relation and orientation, temperature, fragrance, taste, imagination, dream, feeling, concept, sense of rightness, symbolic representation and the memories of such---all these and many other categories of mental objects occupy our experience. Each of these are a category of input onto the screen of consciousness and are most often correlated to a physical sense organ.  As a being goes through life, one encounters various types of mental objects and each of these can be differentiated into certain classes.  There are, for example, intrinsic and extrinsic mental objects.  There are mental objects that are accurately reflective, and those that are more delusional.  There are mental objects that are highly impelling in life and those that are not.  The properties of the mental objects are intrinsic to the characteristics of the object as its is, and also the projective properties that  put that object in the context of qualitative vector norms.  Some objects we attach to strongly and some we more easily let go;  Some objects we fixate on;  Some we ignore, some we cherish some we despise.  Some insure our suffering, and others caress the bliss.  The dynamics of the mental objects on the field of experience is complex and creative.

The fundamental dynamics of mental objects on the manifold of experience are based on the clinging on and letting go of awareness as it encounters a mental object.  As experience changes through time, attention can drag onto a past concern, or propelled into a future implication.  The drag or propulsion of an object onto the momentary awareness is like a coriolis effect impelling forward, or dragging backwards. This can be appreciated as turbulence and perturbation in the flow of experience.  There is a stickiness to the experience that becomes a memory field, and a impulse to experience that becomes a desire.

The overall experience is always forward (one experiential moment leads into another), but can be dragged by past attachments.   One could for example see a person who reminded them of their deceased brother.  Characteristics of their brother may be projected onto this new acquaintance.  Since this person never got along with his now deceased brother, there are still a lot of tense feelings around these memories.  The mental object, one might call this new person, induced a drag onto the current experience, and induced a projection on to this new mental object.   As irrational as the association may seem to be to someone else, the association occurs from within experience as part of the karmic capacity of the experiencer.  Experience has inertial factors that are based vectorally on the encouragement and denial of the experiencer.   Our experience becomes laced with the Riemannian metriced banach space surface called the awareness of the here and now, based on vector-normed egoic value and meaning matrixes. 

Some attachments to identified egoic value matrixes clearly precipitate suffering in a person’s life.  Some are more delusional, and some more accurate.  The dharmic field of the experiential manifold defines the ability to comprehend the most truthful and righteous and fulfilling characteristics of the mental object, i.e., the experienced objects essential nature.  Karmic deviation into the delusional, corrupt and suffering can be oriented using complex analysis.   The essential nature of awareness is composed of the qualities of being, meaning and value, these will be represented by the y axis.  The y axis is the magnitude of the accurate qualitative luminosity of the awareness of a mental object and describes whether this vector normed apparent awareness accurately reflects the truth and value of that object.  The x-axis is a temporal measure of moments of awareness in continuous consecutive succession. The imaginary dimension is the deviation of the vector-norms into the complex dimension that include illusions on the perceptual level, delusions on the conceptual dimension, glamours of emotions and impropriety of volition.  The deviation from “real” awareness into the essential nature and implication of mental objects and events represents the neurotic and psychotic tendencies of that being.  These deviations can curl experience into not only greater suffering, but also into blindness, denial and fallacy.  This curl is a measure of the gradient tempting awareness into deviation, i.e. towards nonbeing, ignorance, and despair.  Differential topology studies the deviation of the surface of manifolds as it warps into the complex dimension.  Complex differential topology of experience distinguishes the neurotic and psychotic tendencies of a being and differentiates the measure of deviation from various norms imposed onto experience.   Some experiences are purely “imaginary”, ie, not based on the real, true, good, right, valuable, but deviant to that norm. 

The dharmic metric is considered to be essential to the experiential manifold itself.  Though various subregions of experience utilized different vector norms, the essential nature of experience, i.e. that which is most real, true, good, right and valuable about the being, will be considered the non-projected, intrinsic geometry of the  Riemannian banach spaced vector norm of the fundamental experiential surface.  This, however, is often projected upon by the egoic frame of reference and other filtering processes that skew the dharmic vector norms into a karmic metric.  Objects on the manifold of experience now appear to have the value and relation from the apparent frame of reference.  Apparent frames of references are at least partially projective, and though they may be quite useful to navigate in the world, they often deviate into the complex imaginary dimension. 

Dharma, again, represents the path which is upright and valuable for a person.  The path is not one particular path, but vectoral fields of paths that a person can take, given a set of initial conditions.  Dharma is not one way, but many ways, because reality presents itself in a myriad of opportunities.  Creativity allows quality to be experienced and expressed in many appropriate ways, but the qualitative vectoral characteristics of the ways will be aligned with the dharmic norm.  Given the many opportunities to pursue, given this choice, the dharmic path is an appropriately graceful way to manifest the principle.  The karmic path is the overwhelming tendency to have that path predetermined for us by our past choices, acceptances and conditionings.  The karmic path is the egoic momentum to continue in our preconceived notion to pursue an apparent way. 

Once attachment to a mental object occurs, that is, once a projection is cast upon a situation, the being is now caught in an apparent fix by the projected metric.  A being makes choices and manifests according to the pursuit of apparent reasons.  Projected though the reasons  may be, they are accepted as real for the moment and acted upon accordingly.     Our choice of metric determines much about our morality. 

Morality occurs on all the dimensions of experience.  It seems like we have choice at every level of experience to be in a certain way.  Sensations, cognitions, intuitions, volitions-- all are prone to the metrics we impose upon them.  This imposition develops over time into our dispositions, habits, tendencies, traits, and character.  The projection of value and meaning onto mental objects develops the moral field itself over time into our personality.  Let us look more closely at the structural geometry various dimensions of personality and the metrics imposed upon them through experience. 

Topology of the Experience of Form and Perception

The physical body and the world are important parts of our experience.  The experience of the physical body and the world are perceived through sensations.  Sensations are the portal by which we are aware of that which is physical.  We receive information about the world and we experience a result of the physical processing of that information.  We have many senses, and many, many sensory receptors.  Most of the sensory processing is done before the sensation reaches our awareness.  Perceptions are the name for the awareness of sensations.  Awareness includes the vectoral norms of the experiential manifold and the particular submanifolds primarily filtered through.  Sensations are a priori these vectoral norms.   Perceptions are inclusive of the vectoral norms.  Once experienced, sensations become perceptions.  In other words, once we are aware of the sensation, we tend to project meaning and value onto it.  Some of these meanings and values are direct reflections of the physical characteristics of that which is sensed.  Some are conditioned responses from previous similarities.  Some are creatively associative, and some seem to come out of no where. 

As we develop over time our experience of sensations get handled in conditioned patterns.  We learn to see and recognize things.  We discriminate the sensation in certain characteristic ways.  These ways depend partly on the particular dimension of experience that a being tends to dwell in.  Some people process certain sensations through reflexive response, some through the feelings it provokes, some more through thoughtful consideration, and others through direct insight.  The discrimination patterns of experience determine much about the characteristics of our awareness.  But before we discuss the discrimination patterns (these are the other dimensions of awareness), let us discuss the properties and characteristics of the experiential topology of the sensory/perceptual manifold.

Sensations offer form.  Form is an extension of an object in some way.  That way is dependent on the fundamental characteristics of that which is sensed.  Physical objects have volume and mass, and many other appreciable characteristics like texture, temperature, consistency, smell, taste, shape, color, contrast, proximity etc.  Each of these words describing physical objects can be appreciated by our senses and become weaved into our perception of sensory objects.  Each of these words represent categories of physical metric that are  sensory-value field matrices differentiating our experience of physical reality into a sensory vector normed space. 

Especially the experience of the sensation of physical reality is vector-normed according to the characteristics of physical reality that we have come to expect from the experience of physical reality.  We project metrics onto length and mass and all the others as what we have come to expect certain reliable characteristics from physical reality.  We gain skill in these projects and can preconsider physical events based on the conceptualization of our perceptions.  We have a sense of how far we are from some thing.  We have a sense of how much some should weigh when we pick it up.  We can feel what an object “is”.  Beings mature into knowing more reliably what to expect from physical reality.  Some beings remain more burdened by unreliable and inaccurate metrics that they consistently project onto sensations.  This might impair their ability to do sports, for example, because they miscalculate where to catch the ball.  The calculation is based on perceptual metrics.  Each of us have certain talents and deficiencies with our perceptions. 

Certainly as a being matures, our skill also matures in accurately discriminating the meaning and values of our sensations.  Our perceptual meaning and value matrices reflect the dharma of sensations, which is the real physical nature of the object.  We can only contact the real nature of that physical object through our perceptions, cognitions and insight and the extensions of these through other tools.  We can never really know a physical object because we know objects only through attributes discovered through sensual contact, processing, and reason.  This would include our contact with the physical body.  The physical body is a huge topological field for experience to explore and maintain contact with.  But awareness of all physical objects requires sensation to reach the gates of contact.  Inject a drug to block the sensation, for example, of our hand, and our awareness is diminished until the numbing medicine wears off.  Our hand exists has part of our being, but it does not exists as part of our experience except through sensation.   And like all physical objects of sensation, even the body is an object of experience. 

A glorious object at that, full off nooks and crannies.  The landscape of the body is vastly available to our awareness.  Most of awareness of our body is based on utility and the obviousness of the sensation.  Most bodily sensations need to become so loud so as to be “heard” by attention.  As we come to be familiar with our body we get use to “feeling” a certain way.  Part of the “feeling” our physical body includes a notion of health and uprightness.  Vector-normed into our perception of our body is a sense of uprightness.  The dharma of our body is health.  The bodily dharma represents what might be called the proper eigenfunctions of all the physiological regions of the body.  An eigenfunction is the characteristic way that a part of the body should work properly.  It is the resonant equilibrium point of good functioning for that bodily region.  Eigenfunction includes the proper range of motion and utility and feeling as part of the basis for the coordinate system of the metric.  The basis for the coordinate system is based on the eigenvectors.

A right elbow of a person has a field of awareness, for example, that represents the eigenfunction of that elbow.  Pain, vectoral movement capacity and restriction, normal functional ability of that elbow is weaved into a person’s awareness of their elbow.  One cannot look at their own elbow from within without a vector norm of a good elbow weaved into it.  Eventually due to injury and misuse, the elbow may develop a dysfunctional way about it.  A being gets use to reassigning the frame of reference of the eigenfunction of the right elbow from the dharma of the elbow to the karma of the elbow.  The karma represents the momentum of the way of the elbow now.  This elbow under consideration, given the person’s way, is deteriorating.  If the person changed their way, they may be able to change their elbow, but their elbow is unlikely to change if the person has “bad” elbow karma – say swings a hammer in a way as a carpenter, that hurts the elbow and is stubbornly continuing to do so. 

All over our body we have maps of eigenfunctions, and eigenvectors, and eigenvalues and eigenspaces of those places.  These represent the characteristic ways that that bodily part should appear through sensation and function.  Our awareness has a certain amount of skill of contacting our body and mapping the eigenfunctions of that region.  Some people exploit a particular skill in contact.  Each person’s particular skill in the contact with their body determines the preferences of learning certain things. 

 The etheric dimension is the name for the region of experience that is aware of our physical body.  Our awareness is mapped to the etheric dimension as the vector-normed perceptual regions of our body.  We get to know our body by our perceptions of it.  These karmic memories of perceptual field qualities influence our evaluation of the current bodily field consideration.  Each finger and wrist, and leg and all parts of our body has a certain resolution of perception.  Some perceptions are especially loud and clear, some very quiet.  Each of us tune into our etheric dimension with a degree and type of skill.  Some of the perceptions of our body are distorted; some are clear and reliable.  Each region of our body has qualities that we come to expect as the norm; these regions have neighborhoods and connections.  Each region has a utility and a history. 

There are tens of thousands of regions of perception in the physical body.  Put a needle into any part of the body and see that amplify the direction of that attention.  There is nothing like a needle to get the mind to focus on a point.  Imagine how many needles could be inserted into a body and we must acknowledge the volume and not just surface of that awareness.  Our awareness has quite a fine resolution.

Different regions define different neighborhoods of perception.  An etheric map is the representation of the topographical features of the terrain of the body as we experience it.  Our left wrist has a special experiential topography based on the contact of the region with consciousness.  One could give names to the regions and neighborhoods based on the physical location (e.g. tip of the distal ulna).  One could describe characteristics of that region based on how it feels, looks, smells.  We expect that space to be a certain way.  The characteristic way of the physical body as experienced is the etheric dimension.  The etheric dimension is a perceptual field with a vector-normed topology imposed on the sensations of our body.

Vision is an example of an experiential field that does “perceptual chunking”.  Percepetual chunking is the functional clustering of perceptual regions into neighborhoods of meaning.   When we look at things we usually do so with a gestalt that mereotopologically relates regions and neighborhoods from within the boundaries of the whole.  Our attention can focus on a point, i.e. a minute area of visual differentiation.  That “point” is a spatial moment, so called “hausdorff space”, that is region surrounding a point that includes only that point and is topologically distinct.  Now if we used a magnifying glass or a microscope we can improve our experiential resolution to define new regions with regions that we once called a point.  New experiential qualities are distinguished within that space.

Geometrically, a point is a theoretical notion of location with no extension.  Experientially, a point within a visual perception is an apparently distinct region of focus.  A point defines our resolution at the time of attention.  Every visual point always occurs within the context of a neighborhood that connects with that point.  Visual points seem to lie on a 3-d manifold we call the world.  There is a sense of continuity, perpective and distance that defines the context of the perception.  There is also a sense of the implication of that visual perception.  Overlaid on even visual perceptions are perceptual, emotional, cognitive and intuitive metrics that correlate to the value and meaning of each point, region, neighborhood and field. 

These metrics occur automatically and in parallel within a being, so that the being can experientially simply grasp the value of a visual perception and the according relations.  Each of us have developed a group of norms in relation to the visual fields, that define characteristics and metrics and valueladeness.  We discriminate our visual fields uniquely and have an intimate relationship with the projects and overlays onto our perceptual fields.  The experience occurs so seamlessly that most people simply “see” the linguistic symbolic representation of that field on the internal dialogue of experience.  Ask people what they see, and they will usually respond in words. 

Geometers might ask, “Is the perceptual surface of visual experience smooth and continuous?”  Apparently so, for the most part, visual perceptions are continuous and smooth for perceptions seem connected at every point.   Visual objects seem to move through time continuously and smoothly, without gaps--unless a person has a vision impairment.  Some visual fields do have apparent gaps.   Their seems to be actually many gaps in visual awareness because our awareness of the perception also determines the focus.  Sometimes focusing on one area blurs out another.  The visual field is complicated and vast and not necessarily smooth and continuous, but is usually perceived as such since into is interpolated. 

And we live with our blessings and curses of our visual fields every day.  We count on the metrics, we project on our projections, we get on with our life.  Each of us has a certain degree of skill and accuracy of visual perception that develops into our karmic fields of those projected field metrics.  But certain features of our visual perceptions are directly related to our rods and cones and lenses and corneas etc.  Many attributes of our visual field are determined by our eyes, nerves and brain and the physical characteristics of the world as we behold it.     Experience is correlated strongly with these, and it is also correlated to the valueladen metric projected onto those sensations.  Even something so convincing as vision is experienced as a surface that we focus on and determine the meaning.  The visual objects exist, not in the physical world, but in experiential world and are thus prone to the topological characteristics of experience. 

Euclidean geometry assumes that two parallel lines do not meet.  We can accept this conceptually as true, but in life we experience visually that two lines meet.  Look down a railroad track along the plains of Kansas and perceptually they meet.  Experientially, parallel visual lines do meet and every landscape painter must reckon on this.  The rules of geometry are relative to the particular manifold the object is experience upon.  Geometry need not be like Euclid envisioned but can have different characteristics.  The characteristics of experiential geometric is manifold specific, and even submanifold specific.  The geometry of touch for example may be different than vision.  They are both perceptions, but have different geometric considerations and fundamental axioms. 

Parallel lines tactilely may or may not meet.  Our resolution to distinquish parallelness here, is too weak at times, to determine parallel there.  Railroad tracks that feel parallel may in fact meet twenty-two miles away.  Experience of parallelness through touch is dependent on our projective metrical abilities.  Experiential geometry is always submanifold specific.  Extrinsic experiential geometry that is the study of submanifold space and the relations of mental objects as they relate to external objects in the physical world.    Intrinsic experiential geometry is the study of submanifold space and  the relations of mental objects as they relate to the experiential world.  Extrinsic experiential geometry often relies on external metrics;  Intrinsic experiential geometry usually relies on internal metrics. 

Intrinsic experiential geometry is not necessarily an affine geometry (only apparently so at times).  Remember that experiential space is creative and thus also relative to the imaginative potential and egoic coordinates of the being.  An affine geometry is a geometry that is invariant under certain conditions and has vectors that relate to each other, but not to an origin on a coordinate system.  Intrinsic experiential geometry is extremely variant, but consistent enough to have reliable properties.  Experience collineates from affine geometries onto the projective planes of other submanifolds of experience.  Experiential manifolds curve based on the “weight” of the object.  That object will cause a change in the geometric space of the manifold as it is held onto.  The karmic inertia of the object will determine the curve of space to resist or augment the change of the object in space.  Again experiential space is more similar to the minkowskian space of general relativity that curves when beholding an object.  Experiential space however is also imaginative, physical space is seemingly not and therefore they have fundamentally different properties. 

Extrinsic experiential geometry can base congruence on the experience of a visual perception correlating with the form.  One can use Euclidean geometry, for example, to solve a problem involving the height of a tree.  The congruence of that height would depend on the actual physical height of the tree.  Few people question their experience of that distance we call the height of the tree, but we do experience it and the experience is different than the actual height.  Visual perspective shows us that an object may appear taller or shorter and closer or farther than they “actually” are.  We have to superimpose a contextual frame onto that perception to understand the height, as well as our learned experience with the preferred metric to understand congruence of that tree with a certain height. 

Experiential congruence is a projective phenomenon that occurs as we put mental objects into categories of distinction and similarity.  Similar objects have certain value congruence.  Objects that have no distinction, that is, objects which seem the same, are experientially congruent.  The relationships of objects that seem the same are experientially congruent.  “Seem” is an important word, because when somethings seems a certain way to a being, then the person experiences that thing in that way.  “Seem” is not an important part of physical geometry, measurement, for example, may be more important.  But “seeming” is what we use in experience to gauge the ambiguosity of congruence.  Experience is also about how objects seem to be, not about the objects as the are.  The “seeming” includes all the other filters, projections, ignorances and stupidities and wisdoms that comes with experience. 

We base our life on those seemings and make distinction many moments in a day.  Our survival and manifestation are based on what seems to be.  Even a fuzzy discrimination on things, seeming to be, can be accurate enough to carry forth.  Our seemings define our characteristics. It is these, that are the vectoral fields of the manifolds of how and why we are.

It seems that the physical world has properties and characteristics similar to Euclidean geometry, with a Newtonian dynamic and a Cartesian coordinate.  There is a point here, and an extension to there.  Straight between them is a line.  If two lines cross they form a plane.  If two planes cross, they create a potential for volume.  The axioms and laws for physical geometry reflect our comprehension of the way of things.  They are conceptual formations that reflect the experience of physical reality without our personal projections.  They reflect the dharma of the way of nature. 

This is not a treatise on the way of nature, but on the way of experience.  We can convince ourselves that our conceptualizations are real, but they still are projects of our learnings and beliefs onto the metric imposed on the sensation of physical reality.  Boundary, continuity, connection, congruence, order, value, relationship, category, class, “parallelness” these all find meaning based on the way of experience.  The way of a person’s experience is the overall experiential vectoral field tendencies that accommodates a mental object.  The conditions of our projections depend on the characteristics of that object, and our accommodation.  The accommodations are based on our preconceived notions that define the metrics that we impose on physical reality.  The very geometry of our experience finds basis not only from the objects of experience, but also from our beholding or those objects.  Karma skews our grasping the real through the illusion of grasping of what seems real.  It is this very illusion that projects geometrically onto the manifolds of our experience.

We will leave further discussion of the experience of the extrinsic mental objects to the cognitive psychologists who study and measure the perceptions of external objects.  How we hear pitch and timbre, feel texture, pain and vibration and have a sense of where we are oriented in space, how we see, and taste and smell objects---these are all exciting fields of study.  It is very fascinating  and will no doubt be a fruitfull study for humanity.  Let us now further focus on the topological characteristics of the experience of intrinsic mental objects, which are those identified regions of experiential space which come from within. 

We have already introduced the etheric dimension as that submanifold of perceptual experience that is correlated with our experience of the physical body.  Our body represents an experiential “in between”, that sits between our experience and the world.  Our body is still an “external object” inasmuch as it must be physically sensed to be known.  The form of our being may be a priori necessary for the experience of our being, but the experience does not need to be of physical form.   The forms may seem to have physical properties, but they may not be what they seem.  The body does seem to be attached to our experience in certain characteristic ways, and it does drive the experience and expression of much of our experience.  But there are many experiences that are not externally originated physical perceptions, but rather internally originated. 

Let’s focus on those internally originated mental objects that are still physically sensed:  the feeling of our body.  We contact our body and have to deal with what we feel.  We will not discuss “how” we feel, rather we will discuss what we feel and the implications of that.

First we could distinguish the various regions of our physical body and discuss the experiential topography of each region.  Hands are different than lips which are different than fingernails.  Each part of our body feels a certain way unique to the region of sensation.  This study is from the external boundary of the skin inward.  The picture would be of the fields of awareness as we experienced each region.  The skin would represent a submanifold, as might the musculoskeletal system, and the internal organs.  The experience of our body is not at all static like a MRI or CT scan might lead us to believe, but quite active and multi-dimensional.  We experience movement, temperature, comfort, discomfort, pleasure, pain, stretch, weight, compaction, extension, vibration of our own body.  Our atlas of our etheric body is complex like the truck drivers road atlas. 

We experience up and down, left and right, center, exterior.  Our orientation is established and experienced as we walk, lie down roll, dance or whatever.  We know where we are in relation of our feet and head to the ground and sky.  This perception may be based on external perception, but it is weaved into our internal perceptions as we perceive the coordinates of the experience of our body.  Our vestibular system orients from deep within our body and with feedback from our senses.  Certainly the vestibular system can be fooled, but under normal conditions, it does an experientially unavoidable job of orienting us.  Our very experience is oriented by this vestibular sense, whether our “eyes” are open or closed.   Much of our bodily orientation is based on this unavoidable vestibular experience. 

The vestibular system is one of the earliest sense organs to form into function in the developing human embryo.  Our earliest experiences of awareness where vestibular.  Certainly these sensations where stronger than the available sounds, and sights and textures.  Even as a mature being, vestibular disorders that disorient people, are amongst the most devastating of experiences.  It is intolerable even for a moment.  Intolerable mostly because of the conditioned physiological reaction that we can develop that causes nausea and anxiety.    Great fear is generated from disorientation and great comfort comes from proper orientation.  These axioms have proved themselves many times as we grew.   We can also grow to enjoy disorientation and vestibular upset.  Many of kid has rolled down a hill and stood up and enjoyed the drunken stupor.   So have many a drunk.  Vestibular stimulation is extremely important in experience as can influence such variables as depression, anxiety, and general well-being.  It can also be a useful tool in general intelligence in the world.  Exercises and similar “upright template” experiences can recondition our experience towards experiences that are vestibularly valuable and meaningful in experience and manifestation.  Tai chi, qigong, yoga, pilates, dance, role playing can provide upright templates to realign the karma of the vestibular (and other) conditioning towards a dharmically appropriate vestibular eigenfield.

We have feelings in our body that directly correspond to the proper functioning of that body part.  A malfunction often alerts awareness to the deviation from the comfortable field.  A certain level of malfunction occurs long before awareness bears attention.  The geometry of the proper functioning is experienced as part of the very field of function.  As introduced earlier, every bodily region has an eigenfunction, based on functional eigenvector bases of the body part.  Our internal senses serve as qualitative detectors, sometimes encouraging us merely to turn over in bed.  Weaved into the very field of the experiential space is the sense of uprightness or not.  A herniated lumbar disc would be quick to remind us of that.

            We also have perceptions that we see and hear and touch and smell and taste and orient that are not directly originated from a sensation.  “Not directly” means that we perceive light and sound and touch “things” that are parts of our imaginations, conceptions, dreams or hallucinations.  But we do experience these things.  We see images which have form.  That form changes and morphs into different forms.  So much is possible on the screen of experience beyond the outside world, even beyond physical sensation.  But these images do have form and extension.  The objects have colors, contrasts, hues, textures, and pitch and rhythm.  They can exist within our own unique experience, but completely separate from the boundary that defines external sensation. 

            Does the light of consciousness actually exist as light?  Do photons actually move?  I have no answer.  But I do know that I experience light that does not directly come from the sun, or a star or a light bulb, but one that is a light nonetheless.  The light does have properties and characteristics that seem to grossly reflect memories of physical sensations, but does the light of consciousness actually exist as light, or only apparently so, is a question that longs for an answer.  And what of sound and the rest of the apparent sensations that are not based on external sensation, do they exist?  We might call you dreaming, or schizophrenic, mistaken if you believed in the existence of these physical sensations in our imaginings.  But everyone seems to experience light and sound and many sensations quite beyond the physical world.  The name of the dimension that defines the experience of sensations that are nonphysically initiated is called the astral dimension.  All imagination, dreams, internally talking or singing to ourselves, visions occur on the astral dimension. 

Topology of the Astral Submanifold

The topography of our “astral body” depends on our previous relationships with the spirits and demons that lurk there.  The images on the astral take on characteristics and projected objects and personalities; often they are based on the objects we behold, interpersonal complexes, and persons in the external world.  But these internal mental objects can morph into many creative expressions instantly and intentionally based on our imaginative ability.  This ability is a genuine skill that is developed in life like it or not.  The imagination helps us to discover the solution to various problems without having to incur those problems.  It also allows us to envision our excellence, and move towards a moral target.  It also can alienated us from the external worldly “reality”.

The astral dimension bears witnesses to sensations that are originated from the senses, the subconscious or from imagination.  A point on the astral body is a region of attention from a moment of awareness with our “eyes closed”.   Part of the astral body is closely correlated with external perceptions;  part is correlated with physical sensations of internal experience, our feelings;  part of the astral body is correlated with our memories, beliefs and idealizations;  some are correlated to  our insight, and some to our very experience itself, because people often filter their experience through the astral dimension  and as such the astral dimension can project its metrics onto the experiential fields beyond the astral body. 

One dimension of our experience filters and projects through all the others in a parallel comprehension of the now-ness of experience.  Experience is the matrix that connects all the submanifolds by focusing attention to a particular region. That region is comprehended within the projected coordinates in classic Riemannian fashion based on the direction of the “eyes of the soul”.  The person applies the judgment criterion of the perception by the tendencies to perceive the perception in a certain way.  This characteristic way, is karmic and is based on the egoic matrixes that determine the basis for the frame of reference for the experiential manifold.  Experience is creative which means it is not always karmic, but it does manifest in certain characteristic ways. 

The astral dimension also has its characteristic ways.  Its submanifold becomes littered with the fields of karmic tendencies based on conditioned experience like the rest of the submanifolds, but in its particular characteristic ways.  Our experience of our feelings are very precious and tortuous.  They represent so much history that many objects can trigger their projection onto a current experience.  People often express their feelings, based on their astral body filtration functions that induce projections and expressions.  People’s representation of their feelings are different than their feelings.  The feelings themselves, as experienced, has dimension as extension, qualities, form and relation. 

Every particular characteristic of our astral awareness has regions of attention and more focus and neighborhoods of less focus.  Our astral tendencies are very important in our moods and attitudes.  A mood is an astral projection onto experience that colors that experience in that particular mood like way.  A mood is a feeling vector field projected onto experience that skews the awareness towards that astral attribute.  A happy mood or sad mood, or bored mood etc saturates our field of awareness to include the feeling of such at a particular time.  A person’s mood has made or ruined more occasions than the weather, liked to a climatic astral expression onto the surface of awareness.

Specific feelings are often triggered by environmental stimuli or by bodily sensations.  They can also be triggered by our thoughts and dreams and all those internal concerns that shine forth onto the manifold of awareness.  As we mature we develop astral dimension likings and dislikes.  The astral dimension is clearly polarizes into “I want” and “I don’t” or “I don’t care”.  This becomes the plus and minus directions to the coordinates of the astral dimension.  Desire is the fundamental wanting to experience a particular feeling stimulated from an object on the astral dimension. 

The amount of desire for an object determines the magnitude to which to metric the astral experience.  An object can intensely motivate us to pursue our desire’s fulfillment with it;  or it can deter us, repel our very experience.  Some of these objects are external, some are internal.  These objects represent our needs and values as they relate to our desires, aversions, emotions, feelings, moods, and attitudes.  The astral dimension is metriced by a karmic field that is based on our past astral conditioning.  We judge many objects by our desire for or not for them, and much of our motivation is based on the fulfillment of our desires.  Our desire for an object is woven into our experiential field much like a magnetic filing is into a magnetic field.  When an object or event remains in resonance with an encouraging feeling, our feelings come into resonance surrounding the accommodation of that field.  Desire is the resonance of a mental object with a wanting field.  An object is most often considered within the field of wanting or not.  Sometimes we just ignore the want.

Objects have a gravitational force based on the want of the object.  Experience itself is curved to bring one towards that object.  The gradient of the slope of the astral field surrounding an experience object is proportional to the desire for that object.  Beings that linger more in the astral dimension are focused more on their desires and aversions.  Their problems and creations are more astrally motivated.  The astral dimension represents the field of desires as projected onto experience and determines the extent of the functions, mappings and transformations that determine the metric projected onto our experience. 

Astral “projection” is the geometrical skewing that occurs as we go through our life based on our feelings generated by contact with previous similar objects.  Experiential similarity/difference determines the congruence factor to categorize an object qualitatively.  Even, and especially, our memories are imbued with a remnant of the astral projection.  Memories respond to the contact with a mental object.  The mental object is an attractor or repellor of memories based on discrimination of similarity or difference.  The desire generated for or against the object is based on the attraction for that object based on past astral identification of a similar object/event.  This determines the apparent differential geometry of the surface of the experiential manifold. 

The surface of experience itself is thus apparently curved based on the apparent discrimination and the associated memories.  The memories form a complex around the seed of the focus of attention.  Memories get blurred in with the imagination to influence the skew of the projected field tendency.   Not all memories become fully conscious.  The now object is not beholded as it is, but with the projection of the field tendencies.  Sometimes this projection is accurate and encouraging, sometimes it is delusional and desperate. 

Memories can be mental objects in their own right when they are attented to with eyes closed.  Most memories are memories of memories and symbolic representation on the imaginary dimension, of the qualities that those symbols represent.  Memories of our Mother are often symbolized, for example, by the word, “mother”.  When we say “mother” to ourselves, a set of images and feelings and thoughts are symbolized by that.  The word may provoke memories of our “mother”; those memories are mental objects that exist in the now and do not exist in the past.  They reference the past.  The images and linguistic formulations and story of our “memories” of our Mother that attach to the symbol of “mother” are the qualitative matrices that are projected onto the mental object we call our “mother”. 

Our feeling memories attached to our “mother” are also reverberated onto the present consideration of our Mother.  These feelings are commonly projected onto our internal representation of our “mother” and our behavioral expression towards our Mother.  The feelings are not isolated memories that impact the present (although they can be), but a field of qualitative association with “mother” that is symbolized into the impact of the beholding tendencies.  We can behold our Mother from this way or that, and can feel many ways about her.  These regards are the karmic fields that associate a tendency to a present moment.  Each object is beholded in context of perceptual fields associated with the object currently, as well as the memories  and past feelings etc projected onto the now.   The “gist” of the memories are absorbed into the experience itself. 

If a person tends to experience skewed mostly through astral attachments, the memories seeded by the object, complex around the associated feelings attached to the object.  Strongly skewed projections tend to disrupt experience on the other dimensions.  Conceptual logic, for example, can be strongly skewed by astral projection.  Reason is only reasonable, it seems, if we feel a certain way.  Even physical objects can be skewed by our feelings, like diamonds that become valuable for their astral attachment.  Other feelings can be skewed and our insight and action can be deluded by our desires that we tend towards.  We will further discuss the categories, representations and transformations of our feelings in the functional analysis section.

Topology of the Conceptualization Dimension

A concept is a fundamental ideological unit of meaning as a mental object is abstracted into symbolic relationship.  A concept represents a matrix of fundamental ideas that characterize the discrimination of an abstraction.  The abstraction represents the qualitative characteristics of the chosen focus and can be represented as a matrix of ideological qualia.  Ideological qualia are made up often of ideological quale, which represent the most fundamental discrimination of the region of ideological consideration. This conceptual matrix represents the experiential meaning of the relation of the ideas that make up that concept.  Each ideological quale, and qualia, and concept represent apparent regions of experiential space projected onto the now through the conceptual dimension.  This region is characterized symbolically often as linguistic formulations for the projection of meaning as a word.  The word symbolizes the eigenvector qualities of the concept that set the direction for the basis of conceptual orientation.  The quale determine this fundamental qualitative basis.  Other quale will compare to this quale for conceptual similarity and difference. 

A concept is often a group of ideological quale.  The group is centered around a meaning.  This meaning is the basis of the concept.  The concept is shared by a karmic attachment.  Our beliefs are a measure of that ideological karma.  A belief is a ideological matrix with the associated karmic field attachment.  Faith in a belief determines the strength of the karmic attachment.  This faith is what skews the now of experience into a ideological metric.  The egoic ideological matrices represent the identifying conceptual matrices that set the apparent basis for the frame of reference projected onto the now of a concept under consideration. 

Concepts come in many types and flavors and they relate through certain characteristic transformations.  Concepts come from the abstraction of perceptions, feelings, ideas and insights into words that reflect a meaning discrimination.  The abstraction can be a symbolic formulation that based on external observation or internal.  The meaning of this abstraction is what we mean, not the symbol we choose, but we so often attach feelings and volitions to the symbols that reflect the meaning. 

A concept can correlate or not to the truth of that meaning.  We are persistently deluded by conceptual misformulation.  We know only so much and every conceptual formation is fuzzy as to its correlation with what is real.   Correlation with some representative approximation of truth is the best we can hope for as non-omniscient creatures. The matrixization of ideas is the correlation process itself as we focuses around an apparent sense of conceptual similarity.   External and internal conceptual metrics can be imposed on our experience.  The conceived conceptual metrics of physics, biology, chemistry has come to represent the external conceptual metrics. 

Those who are more scientific have been trained to project standards of measurement onto not only the physical world, but also the conceptual world.  People come to agreement as to the metrics of a concept and we call it a definition for a word.  We have concepts we call mass, length, time, etc.  The most fundamental principles of that concept determined its qualitative equilibrium that we compare other concepts.  Those concepts that we hold as “most true”, represent the egoic ideological eigenvector of the concept matrix.  

Many of our conceptualizations are oriented inward towards the experiential manifold.  Many concepts are about the way we feel, or don’t, about an ideological subject.   We conceptualize our ideas, dreams, sleep,  memories and hopes and concerns.  Many of the objects of internal concepts cannot directly be measured by external metrics.  These internal experiences are private.  The standards of measurement are private.   The conceptualizations of this internal ideological experience are private metrics, but we do have them.  We do project value onto our ideas and relate them to other ideas in characteristic ways.  This is translated into the conceptual karma we bring onto our experience. 

The lattice of the ideological group we call the concept reflects the value standards we project onto our apparent experience.  The form of the concept is often perceived by its symbolic representation.  A concept has a title that reflects its principle basis, for example, “mathematics” or “my left elbow pain”, or “this pill will work”.   The truth of the concept is often based on future beholding of outcome—whether the problem was solved, or the event came true.   The tentative new conceptual formation is the new basis for truth.  Truth, however, is not the only criteria for a concept.

The value of a concept is often more important than the truth of that concept.  Concepts have utility because the transformations of the functions of those concepts—reasons and rationalization—can solve problems through abstraction amongst quite a few other things.  Thinking and problem solving represent the cognitive functions of the conceptual dimensions.  We will explore that in the functional analysis section on the relationships, transformations and representations of concepts.

Topology of the Volitional Dimension

Experience enjoys the inevitability of choice.   Our choices may not be fully free and creative, that is, it may have some other determinations.  Yet we do experience a sense of freedom and we do discriminate and choose amongst our given choices.  We might not be able to say these choices out load, but we do to ourselves.  Even on a preverbal level, we relish our choices.  Choice in experience is often more like a captain’s choice on how to steer the rudder.  The determinants beyond the captain’s choice are huge, yet given his skill to navigate the waters, he can sail his boat to the goal.  As part of experience, there is the undeniable sense that we can choose a direction.

Most of the time we place ourselves in moral autopilot.  We use our senses of discrimination, evaluation and intention effortlessly at times as we sail through our lives.  The focus of these volitional functions depend on the perceived external and internal context.  Discrimination and evaluation of mental objects and their processes occur so seamlessly that we simply project the process onto the objects themselves.  We move towards or away (or neutral) to them.  But these movements are intentional, in that we bless the fulfillment of that movement.  These are non-reflexive, intentional steps to carry our a goal.

If a being is more astrally focused, then the mental objects entertained are primarily emotive.  If a being thinks a lot, the objects considered and pursued are conceptual.  If one seeks wisdom, then the issues are primarily volitional.  Wisdom is the skill in bringing about the envisioned fulfillment of some value or meaning or expression.   Each being wrestles with their ignorance when in unfamiliar contexts.  Some beings more forward with strong intentional pursuit;  we call them brave, disciplined or fanatic.  Some beings shy away into a more secure familiarity of the status quo, delusional or painful  it may be.  Each of us weaves a way of discrimination and evaluation and hope as we develop.

This volitional way is strongly influenceable by karmic tendencies.  The name for this volitional dimension has often been called the buddhic dimension.  Our “buddhi” is the submanifold our upright tendencies of discrimination, evaluation and intention as we pursue a qualitative way. Dharmically, our buddhi is metriced by our most effective way of truthfully discriminating and evaluating our reality.  Karmically, the buddhic dimension is metriced by the apparent egoic matrices that projects the true, good and right.  Clearly, this would have consequences in both our experience and our behavior.  Experience is expressed by the blessings of the buddhi filtered by the egoic identifying functions. 

The buddhi can be focused towards internally or externally generated mental objects.  The buddhi is the moral compass we use to navigate the regions of experience.   This moral compass can be applied to the projected metrics, but the compass is what we use to guide us in times of fuzziness across the experiential terrains towards our goals.  We don’t always know what’s good, true or right, but we do have our sense of such.  The buddhi considers through the projected egoic metrics, that seem intrinsic to the topography.  This confusion is much of the fuzziness of the terrain.  We live in the clouds of uncertainty, so our projected metrics provide us at least their familiarity of orientation. 

Action does not require skill, but skillful action is more likely to fulfill its goal.   The buddhi is the moral terrain, where a perception determines the truth and value of its being;  where a desire determines its rightness to be fulfilled;  where a conception is rightly conceived;  where an action is well intended.  Skill in these moral senses determine our wisdom or foolishness.  Attachment to egoic matrices that are dharmically inappropriate lead to much of the foolishness. 

Our moral skill is based on both our disciplines and our principles.  When we encounter an event do we transform that event gracefully into a creative qualitative expression, our do we fall into despair.  There are many functions, representations and transformations on the buddhic field of the volitional manifold.  These are related to the discrimination, evaluation and intention behind volition.  Skill in volition also eventually requires a physical expression as well.  How and why we behave is intentionalized by the budhhi.  The effect of our choices depend on many other things.

Behavior is part of this effect.   We have some control of our behavior, but not all behavior is intentional.  Physiological and subconscious compulsively driven behaviors  motivate behavior without our full awareness and blessing.  These subconscious motivators of behavior are not on the buddhic dimension of experience, since they are not in our awareness.  The buddhic dimension exists as part of our awareness.  Not all behavior is a consequence  of our true intentions.  We are here to study our being from the manifold of awareness.  Behavior is thus another study, except inasmuch as we are aware of our behavior.  Behavior can be an object of our awareness and concerns us  by these consequences. 

Experience is intimately tied in with our body and the direction of its parts.  Our awareness goes into the coordination of the intended behavior.  We can send a minute movement into an area, or we can perform incredible complicated behaviors over moments or years.  Morality is not just about how why treat others, it is especially about how we control ourselves;  how we fine tune and gross tune and intend to tune.  Our skill in directing the physical body has direct consequences in utility, art, and every behavior, as well as metaphysical karmic repercussions onto our awareness

We move every dimension of our being.  And though we are not completely masterful of these movements, we do learn some level of mastery.  Some skills are simple, some are extremely complex.  They all have their reasons for expression.  From an experiential framework, we are interested in not the physiology of how behavior is effected, but in how and why someone intends it.  In most adults the autopilot sets a minimum moral standard for more routine movements so that the body can navigate the physical and social world.  The experiential manifold is intimately involved in the motivations of the body.  These motivations are the volitional qualitative matrices that become the moral repertoire for behavior.  Discrimination, evaluation and intention are the functions that transform on this submanifold.

Topology of the Conscious Dimension

This is actually the same as the experiential manifold except from the frame of the subject of experience itself, as an object.  The conscious dimension  is the manifold of awareness which occurs here, now and flows into the next series of moments of experiential presence.  Awareness is that which beholds the other submanifolds of experience with its objects and their transformations.  Awareness is the beholding of the sensations and desires, of conceptions and beliefs, of evaluations and intentions.  Awareness is the glue that hold the submanifolds together under the conditions of experience.  The dharma of our awareness is our true and essential nature of our subjectivity, sentiency, and fulfillment as it really is.  The karma of our awareness is the attachment to the consideration of the mental objects with the projected egoic metrics outlined above. 

Even the conscious dimension itself can be deluded by its own karmic projections.  Awareness itself, develops tendencies and characteristics.  These ways of being aware are also conditioned by past willingness to behold as such and they distort our deepest sense of true understanding and quality of our direct insight.  The other submanifolds of experience have objects, but the conscious dimension is purely subjective in its nature, with projections of the objects from other submanifolds, but no objects otherwise.  Just as the physical body can be considered the extreme boundary of experiential objectivity, consciousness is the extreme boundary of experiential subjectivity.  Awareness is pure subjectivity beholding the projections onto its surface.  The tendencies of awareness as it contacts the other submanifolds determine much about the person. 

This orientation can set the fundamental karmic misconception and can orient the most severe mental illnesses and enlightenments.  Though most mental illness is based on attachments to mental objects/events on the other submanifolds and their projections, many find their seed from a more general skew of consciousness.  The awareness itself, seems in some people (if not all of us) to be skewed towards a fundamental sense of misidentity, ignorance, stupidity and foolishness.  This then codevelops into attachments on the other dimensions based on the fundamental karmic skew of experience itself.  This skew orients the metric of the resonance equilibrium of the current awareness with the other submanifold’s karmc field tendencies overtoned disturbances and karmic metric projections.   

The karma of the awareness field takes on the metric of the submanifold most attached to, thus the conscious dimension takes on the projected characteristics identifications of the precious egoic qualitative matrices of that orientation.  The frame of reference of the subject is thus oriented with the egoic eigenvectors settting the bases of the apparent coordinates.  Some beings learn to identify their egoic matrices with the karmic field of the awareness manifold.  Egoic matrices of the other dimensions relate mental objects according to their conditioned functions.  The subject of awareness is the only object on the pure experiential manifold.  Egoic matrices of the conscious dimension occur as the subject of awareness is considered as an object.  We get attached to ourselves, even and especially our very sense of awareness.  Our awareness is our most precious commodity, without which our being would essentially be worthless to ourselves. 

Even though the manifold of pure consciousness does not “have” objects per se,  simply being aware is extremely valuable to us.  The angst of eternally loosing awareness is the greatest of all fears.  Pain and suffering on the other more apparent submanifolds only color the angst of extinguishment of our sense of awareness.  No object is more precious than our subject, no sentient life is fulfilled without its presence.  Also our greatest fulfillment comes as we take our ground from our essential nature of our consciousness.    A great sense of value and meaning and good intention occurs when we move intended in harmony with the dharmic way.  The orientation of aligning our karmic attachments with our dharmic fields, rather than vice versa, allows enjoyment, insight, and truer wisdom.  Although we may not be able to succeed in the most perfect, true and strong wisdom, we can align our intentions with such. 

The experience of a subject being ones essential nature unadulterated by the projections of the objects and transformations of the other submanifolds is most often described as unrepresentable since there are no objects to represent.   Time and form find no metric in the conscious manifold and are thus not experienced as time and form.  Extension seems infinite in its extent, but not in its substance.  There is no perception of form, no recognition of change, no feeling, no thoughts, no intention, no movement, no sense of “I”, no egoic matrices.  The topology of the pure unadulterated experiential manifold simply is.  This existence includes a sense of fulfillment of meaning and value, without an object to suggect such other than being itself.  When a being aligns with the dharmic field tendencies of the conscious manifold, one is good and true. 

The Topology of other Realms of Experience

Topology of the Apparent Egoic Space

            The apparent egoic space is called apparent because it has no real aggregate form, but only projected form.  Much of experience is apparent, but the ego is especially so to the extent to make a special point.  The egoic matrices represent the preferred identifying qualitative value relationships on each manifold that become the projected metric when beholding an object.  Humans seem to developmentally confuse these projective identifying matrices with their identity.  Humans identify themselves with their preferences about themselves. We identify ourselves with our most precious (and negative) sensations and feelings, thoughts and beliefs, and our intentions, bodily expression and behavior and believe that the experiences we have had is who we are.  This false identification is at the source of the deepest sufferings of humanity, as well as at the source of some of humanity’s greatest achievements. 

            There is a being who is aware.  The qualities of that being are often quite different that the persona that a being is attempting to project.    The “persona” is the name for the attempted projection of an identity image.    The “ego” represents the preferred qualitative matrices as well as their preferred transformations as a being navigates the experiential terrain.  Both the ego and persona are different than the being because they are each an symbolic image that a being assumes to themselves and the world, respectively.  The ego is important because “it” does help in its skewed way to orient a being to navigate the world of experience.  The persona is also important, much like a business card or advertisement is.  The costume is only a costume, and it is also a choice of expression and determines the karmic tendencies attached by that being. 

            The ego thus is the sense of identity of the subject of a being.    The essence of awareness is the subject, not the sense of identity.   This is a very important distinction and plays out in people’s lives as they mis-identify their being.  People identify themselves with the matrices of the memories, representations and transformations of mental objects.  This may be part of them, but as objects, they are not the beholder of these objects.  The ego itself, is more of a metricization process, a standardization of qualitative measurement; a transformation processing of mental objects; a how, not a who.  The “ego matrix” (as compared to the egoic matrices) is the preferred representative qualities that a being identifies to themselves as the representation of their subjectivity.  The egoic matrices are those pre-blessed value and meaning matrices that a being chooses and refer to as they evaluate a mental object/event.   The ego matrix is the relationships of the identifying characteristics that we refer to our own being about our sense of who “I” am.

            Mathematically, identity implies equality, the sharing of the same characteristics.  1 x 22 = 22 shows an identity function of multiplication we call one.  0 + 22 = 22 shows an identity function of addition we call “zero”.   Identity holds when what enters the transformation is the same as what leave the transformation.  We semantically use the word “I”  to represent that aspect of our identity which remains unchanged under transformation.  “I” is symbolic for our ego matrix, the characteristics that we projectively identify as characteristically representing the essence of our awareness.    “I” is the identification process that uniquely occurs in our experience.   “I” does transform and change over time because the objects of those matrices and their transformations change over time.  “I” is not the essence of awareness that remains unchanged over time, but a series of identifying metric projected on our experience that does indeed change.  All karmically conditioned experience changes as we identify with the transformations of mental objects we experience. 

Ego attachment is a measure of the strength of the necessity to use the egoic matrices as the metric for evaluation.  The stronger the ego attachment, the more likely the karma of a person will overwhelm their dharmic opportunities.  The egoic standards are very helpful, but keeps us away from the here and now of attentive consideration. Ego pulls us towards the past, impels us into the future; apprehends the future and guilt trips the past.  Ego is not an entity, but a process that breeds the good and bad karma. 

While learning it seems is especially important to have an identifying process that can first consider the qualities of the beholding without reaction, feeling, thought or implication.  Beholding is  much clearer without these disturbances.   Objects are experienced much truer and real without these projections immediately overlaid upon them.  Metrics are useful, but are not true; they are relative standards used to get the job done, not absolute standards defining truth.   Most people identify their experience with their interpretations of their interpretations of karmically imbued experience.  The are representating the representation of the representation of their representations—not the experience itself. 

            Topology of the Dream Dimension

            Dreaming is undeniably experiential.  We perceive objects; space has extension and the objects there in have characteristic properties and dynamics.  Time occurs and can even have apparent external metric.  The universe of our awareness is different than the waking world.  Dreaming is more astral dimension-like, full of imagination and possibility with different natural laws enforced.  Dreams are the name for the experience the occurs while not awake (in sleep, coma, and drug-induced states).  It is possible to awaken in a dream an be a totally new being, with a different body, mother, wife, children and job.  Yet something remains the same—the essence of our awareness.  We can have a different name and belief and body and ego, but we still share the essence of awareness as the identity function that reminds us of our essentiality. 

            In dreams we can fly, or be killed and come back to life;  we can go back and forth in time and can travel all over the universe seemingly instantaneously.  We can contact other people in other time and other places as well. Dreams have meaning and the objects in dreams have meaning.  These objects have extension and apparently change in an apparently smooth and characteristic ways over time.  Dreaming objects can transform in ways beyond our normal physical perceptions, but these ways seem believable in dreams, like it was normal.  Even in dreams we can be amazed. And we can feel sad and we can enjoy pleasure.  Even our moral and ethical standards change in dreams to allow such things we would not allow while awake in the world. 

            Space in dreams seems to have apparent infinite extension and the geometric standards are most certainly non-Euclidean.    It seems like the universe exists beyond our awareness in our dreams, like it does in our awakeness.  Yet, dreams seem to take place in a land that we cannot willfullingly enter and exit, but must simply find ourselves there.  This same can be said of awakened experienced in the physical world.  In dreams we meet situations that seem so real, that it makes us question the very “reality” of the external physical world.  Dreams open the option that the physical world is merely one of many domains of extension of our being. 

            Dreams can be “seen” through a first or third person perspective.  Sometimes a being watches “themselves” as part of the story;  sometimes we are experiencing the story.  The world seems real and is because it is really part of the projection onto the screen of awareness.  Experiential places and objects and events are real when we experience them as real.  In our waking life, the dream world seems unreal and imaginary.  In the dream world, the so called “real world” seems distant in unavailable.  Our projection metrics and our attachment for our projection metrics varies from one world to the other. 

            As experienced, the dream state seems like our imagination turned on full tilt.  Uninhibited by the usual egoic metrics, a being can traverse the astral world and have experience.  Dreams are the stream of the imagination that is projected on the screen of consciousness without the usual physical restriction and censure.  A being is aware of their “eyes closed” experiential submanifolds with different karmic exposures and ties.  Ties still exit, and karma still reaps its tendencies. 

            Drug induced states help us to understand that our “reality” is not only projected, but down right plastic.  Experiential reality can morph in many ways different than our familiar ways.  Our egoic matrixes and ego matrix and our karma is only one way of many ways.  Some ways we cannot consider when holding onto another apparent way.  Drugs show us that the very screen of consciousness can be fundamentally morphed by drugs.  Colors appear different, sounds and shapes and feelings are different.  The egoic frame of reference usually shifts after a drug-induced experience.  Some beings shy back into their familiar habits and traits they prefer or at least tolerate.  Some beings continue to explore the experiential manifolds and its topography and conditions. 

Drugs can really scare a being who looses their ground in the experience.  Egoic matrices provide a sense of security, like a bank of knowledge, to withstand and even explore the experiential storms.  Drugs can crack that egoic cocoon and allow one to see other meanings and values, and they can confuse and cause disruption.  They can change the forms and rules just like dreams, but with awakeness.   We will discuss the influence of drugs on the functions of experience in that section. 

            Drugs that knock us unconscious, can also take our awareness away from our being. Like deep sleep and coma, drugs can suspend our awareness.  These spaces lie beyond a treatise on experience because they lie beyond our awareness.  They influence our awareness and effect us.  Yet since they lack awareness, we will not discuss these domains.  They are parts of the non-experiential realms of being. These are important and exciting fields that might help us to discover ways to not experience pain and other aspects of negative experiences.  They might also help us to understand ways to help people learn more clearly, but blocking their inhibitions to learning.  The topology of these spaces depend on the other manifolds, because they are separate, non-aware domains beyond our boundary.

Topology of the Mystical Realms

            People have visions and hear sounds and have experiences that are undeniably real and true and transformatory.    These experiences are natural phenomena  as a being travels in the experiential submanifolds and approach the non-egoic dharmic space of experience.  Much of what most people call a mystical experience is an astral or etheric or conceptual or buddhic grasping.  The mental objects occurred on these submanifolds and still had a skew of egoic projection.  They are still grasping of objects, which is a form of attachment.  This grasping brings the karmic momentum.  Some mystical experiences are of the no-form, the no-transformation that underlies all form and transformation.  The awareness of this brings a sense of all-one-ness, non-distinctness; absorption into non-discrimination of the quale of being itself—the fundamental characteristic of all that is—the dharma of being. 

            The “mystical” realms will be discussed as a subsection of each manifold as we discuss the deeper blessings of each submanifold of experience.  There are “mystical” realms on all the subdimensions that manifest as the contact with the most dharmically (not karmically) valuable regions of each dimension. 

The Functional Analysis of the Topology of Experience

            Mental objects and events transform.  Functional analysis is the study of these transformations.  The transformation of mental objects is based on the nature of the objects and the awareness that beholds them.  Mental objects are considered through the attention to their perception, conceptualization, relation, and implication.    A function is that which relates an input to an output.   Functional analysis of experiential functions studies the sequence of changes that occur while becoming—how a who does why. 

            Experience has characteristics of both a linear and nonlinear dynamical system.  Some parts of experience are directly dependent, its seems, on other aspects.  Because humans have the opportunity for creativity in experience, input is never completely directly related to output.  All experience is multi-causal and never dependent on only one variable.  This causal interdependence is multivariable and creative.  Experience may depend on certain essential functions, for example, attention, neurological function, genes, life (?).    Rather than studying ultimate causes, we will focus on the transformations themselves as operational series of events, phenomenologically.

From the frame of reference of experience, we experience objects conditioned through the projective submanifolds.   The functional analysis of experience is the study of this conditioning process—how karma is transformed.  Karma is the impact of the previous experience onto the now, all those perceptual, conceptual, discriminative and moral capacities that we bring into the present moment.  This momentum is the characteristic ways that a person processes mental objects and events.    Karma is partially brewed by a priori cognitive capacities of the individual.   Experientially we rely on these functions to transform our experience into pleasure, understanding, wisdom and good will.   As a being matures, karma relies less conditioned processes and more on insightfully motivated processes.  The cultivation of value into experience becomes a skillful transformation.  The output can become so much more than the input. 

Experience is self-evidently related to the physiological processes of being.  The body and the brain influence many aspects of experiential functions.  The context of our blood sugar, testosterone, serotonin, dopamine , our heart, brain etc. etc., onto our cognitive functioning is being studied by physiologists and pharmacologists world-wide.  Their contribution to the understanding of physical processes onto experience is profound.  Many physiological psychology texts are full of their understandings.   Their frame of reference is from the physical manifold.  We do not directly experience molecules, but we are aware of the results of this physiology.  From frame of reference of the manifold of awareness, these physiologic processes are woven into our experience of our perceptions and conceptions and transformations.  The physical world is “known” only through these experiential functions and is only known within the topology of experience.   We will defer the physiological functions to the physiologists for now, and focus specifically on the functions on the topology of experience.  First let us continue the consideration of the concept of “function”. 

The Concept of an Experiential Function

There are many types of experiential functions and they can be categorized and related in a multitude of ways.  We will base our categorization of experiential functions on the submanifold they primarily seem to eminate from.  Before we focus on these submanifold categorization of functions lets consider the properties of what we mean by “function”. 

Mathematically, a function was originally used to describe the slope of a curve at a given point.  Today we might call these differential functions.  We have many experiential differential functions.  We will study the differential functions of the submanifolds of experience as awareness changes over time.  In linear dynamical systems, the input into a dynamical system will be directly related to the output.  Increasing the pressure in a linear system will correlate directly with a temperature rise.   Experiential systems are often nonlinear and this correlation must remain probabilistic for both the observer and the intender.  The vastness of the multivariableness paired with the overwhelming sense of necessity/obviousness/capacity to call in a particular function obscures the causal linearity of our experiential path.  But we can and do “call in” functions that are hoped to “cause” a change in our future experience.  We rely on our ability to change the future of our experience towards our intention.  We rely on our experiential functions.

Functions have come to mean so much more than the differential functions originally conceived.  Mathematically and dynamically, functions have come to mean:

1.      Correlating a domain with a range

2.      Transformation of one variable into another

3.      The mapping of a representation of one domain to another

4.      The relating of one aspect with another

5.      The rules/conditions of a transformation

6.      The mapping of the induction and effects of a state over time

7.      The dependence of one variable on the becoming of another

Physical functions are concerned with the transformations and representation of physical objects over time.  Experiential functions are concerned with the transformations and representations of experiential objects over time.  Let’s focus on the most fundamental functions of experience before we get into the details of each space. 

The Fundamental Experiential Schema:  Becoming, Cognizing, Implicating

            The becoming of a being is a fundamental function of experience. An essential characteristic that occurs on the manifold of experience and all the submanifolds is the primary existential function of becoming.  Being, once attached to objects, becomes.  This becoming is a primary function of our experiential existence.  The a priori existential aspects of experience give way to transformation.  The act of transformation from one moment to the next is the existential becoming.  The mental objects must have an opportunity for transformation.  In physics, an object must have mass, or extension, or charge, or some sort of fundamental attribute that allows for the physical transformation to occur.  The same for mental objects, the objects must be available for processing by our awareness.   The attributes of awareness must also be available for the object.

            “Cognizing” means the processes of coming into awareness.  These must be available to behold an object.  No subject, no beholding; No beholding, no subject;  No beholding, no subject, no experience.  No experience, no implication.  Cognizing in the way in which a being transforms their awareness.   This way of beholding is the value-vectored norm on the manifold of awareness that is bestowed on the other submanifolds.  The essential experiential ways of being, beholding and becoming illuminate the mental objects and their projective metrics.  Experiential norms represent our most fundamental bias we bring to our experiential reality.     

            Though each of our particular way of becoming is unique, the way is polarized in conditioned experience.  A being can be fundamentally enthusiastic about becoming, or reserved.  Becoming can be implicated towards fulfillment or despair.  There is a magnitude of strength associated with becoming and qualities of style.  Experience is oriented by the direction of the beholding.  Our being, understanding and wisdom can become self-destructive, deluded, and foolish as our karma shifts the sands of the vector fields  of experience.  Our nature can shift towards existential enthusiasm. 

            Yet even before the karmic attachment to any mental objects, experience must have the ability to illuminate.  And not only illuminate, but to focus this illumination in a direction of focus.  Attention is a primary characteristic of the experiential manifold and is the capacity to focus awareness onto a particular region of experience.  The capacity to hold and clarify the focus determines much about the person.   Attention deficit of this holding and clarfication is a root problem for many people.  The capacity to focus the attention, maintain the focus, and bring cognized brilliance into experience is a critical aspect of the capacity to have insight. 

            The variables that describe these transformations are the parameters of the fundamental quale of awareness itself.    Awareness, itself, even without the attachments to the projections from the other submanifolds,  has magnitude and direction.  The direction of this focus can be oriented primarily through introversion or through extroversion.  It can be oriented towards furthering security, value and meaning, or overwhelmed by insecurity and angst.  The willingness of a being to cultivate valuable experience is a major determinant in their ability to do so.  This willingness is the critical experiential function that is karmically vector-normed into experience.  The strength and direction of this willingness/stubbornness to experience is a fundamental Riemannian metric projected onto the becoming of experience.   How should I become, and why?   The “how” is the strength and skill of the determination and the “why”, the hope of the transformation of experience.   The quale of one’s determination to be aware determines much about the experience of the person.  Our existential experiential disposition is made of these quale. 

A quale, thus needs not be an object, for it can be the very nature of the way of experience itself--the norm attached to the beholding.  There are no objects on the manifold of pure experience, only pure subjectivity.  The quale of this subjectivity is the dispositional nature to behold the way one does and represents the topological characteristics most apparently intrinsic to the experiential space.    The tendencies to behold as such are the vectoral field qualities that induce objects to be beholded in certain ways as they fall into the region of a particular awareness.   These quale of subjectivity are still karma attachments skewing our beholding.  Skewed or not, they represent our way we begin to functionally cluster the objects presented to that regional conditioning tendency of awareness.  A transformative quale or qualia is called a schema. 

Perceptual Schema

Objects are presented to our awareness somewhat already functionally clustered by the transformations and projections of the other submanifolds of experience.   As our attention turns from the object as it is, to the object as it is represented to our awareness, the conscious attention can then transform it through volitional mental formations.  This process describes the attachment process of awareness to the apparent realms as contact is made with an object. 

This attachment happens as a result of conditioned experience and the conscious blessing of this contact.  We accept the apparentness of mental objects as experientially real and true if we perceive and believe them to be so.  The experiential transformations of perceptions depend partly on the nature of the mental objects themselves.  Externally originated mental objects are transformed by the senses that behold them and the sensations we are offered.  These objects are especially transformed by the physics of the world that they reflect.  Perceptions of sensory based objects are most strongly influenced by the “laws” of the physical world and how objects behave there in. Perceptions of physically originated brightness, clarity, focus, color, pitch, timbre, volume, texture, density, proximity, extension, context, sharpness, temperature, vibration, stretch, position, direction, taste, fragrance, orientation transform as a reflection of the physical qualities. 

Our perceptions fortunately most often have a direct linear relation to the physical qualities they represent.  Perceptions represent physical qualities yet are not the physical qualities themselves.  Perceptions are the transformation of the sensation into experience.  Sensations are the transformation of the sensory contact with the physical objects that have these qualities.   The sensory contact is necessary for these physically originated transformations to be beholded.  This sounds obvious, but it has strong implication.

Our perceptions may or may not accurately reflect the physical properties of that we sensate.  “Knowing” these perceptions is not the knowing of the object of the perception, i.e., the sensation; and beholding a sensation, does not mean we “know” that which was sensed.  We know only of those qualities that we perceive.  We can stretch our perceptions through the use of microscopes and telescopes etc, but that still does not mean that we know the object as it is.  We experientially know the objects by the discrimination of the qualities we are able to discern.  These attributes, as fundamental as they may seem, are experiential, not physical qualities.  

Thus in experience, the substance of a physical object is the perception of the substantial qualities of that substance.  The perceptual matrix describes relationships of the perceptual quale that represent the physical object.    The perceptual matrix represents the perceived characteristics of a particularly identified mental object and its perceptual transformations.  Most perceptual objects are a functional clustering of other objects.  The perceptual matrices represent the qualities and transformations of these functional clustering of perceptual quale. 

A perceptions requires a process of perceiving.  The perceptual quale is usually linearly related to the sensory input.  The perceptions are clustered into boundaries and distinctions upon the very beholding based on the object sensated transforming through the neuro-sensory apparatus within a contextual framework.  We “know” what is and is not an object upon this beholding.  Once a perception is clarified, then the objects are clarified by their perceptual boundaries.  We automatically make perceptual distinction by the familiarity with the objects we behold.  We know the blade of grass from the rock on contact with that perception.  Our a priori physiological apparatus must somehow organize this info, or perhaps our rate of differentiation is too slow to perceive the time it take to sensate, perceive and differentiate into perceptual objects.  We have a sense that much lies a priori our perception, but this is the point of experiential contact point with objects. 

Upon contact, the perceptual landscape is already skewed with the recognized boundaries of the perceptual objects and the impulse to further categories and represent them.  Sometimes the perception is more fuzzy than others, sometimes the impulse less urgent.  The “truth” of our perception is more of a representative functional utility to correlate a perceived object with a meaning or value associated with that object.   The “truth” of an experiential object lies in the grasping of the object as it is.  The grasping of a perception is relative to the sensation, which is relative to the senses, and attention, and distinction, and all the projections, confusions, illusions etc. of a perception.  The grasping is how we hold on to a perceptual matrix.  The contact is the experience of the perception.  The grasping is the transformations of the contact into the perceptual matrix we call the “image” of that object. 

An visual image is not just a visual perception, but the included perceptual transformation to associate a distinction of boundary, extent, and implication of any sensation .  The perception occurs within a geometrical context.  The topology of that context was discussed previously.  Our perceptual ability to grasp the context of a perception, allows us to perceive that perception within that context.  This depends on our capacity to illuminate, differentiate, resolve, implicate, act.   That perceptual capacity is our capacity to perceive objects as they are in the context of their neighborhoods. 

Every perceptual matrix has a temporal component.  Some temporalizations are the presented memories associated with the history of similar objects and then projected on the perceptions; some are the perceived quale in the moment;  some are the perceived qualitative direction of that object is transforming into some projected future space.  The orientation of the temporal component is almost immediately, or at least very quickly, perceived within the experience of the perception of the object.  The object can be dragged or impelled as part of its perception—not in this case willingly, but more perceptually by the association of a present perception with the context of a past or a future.  The perception is thus temporally tagged to be dragged or impelled in such a temporally perceptual way.   These are the temporal projections that norm the perception into the immediate contextual framework tying the past, present and future.  Every object has the possibility and likelihood of inducing these temporal tags.  The tags are not intrinsic to the object, but projected and thus perceived as a temporal metric onto the perceptual matrices.  One of the perceptual functions then, is the temporal tagging of objects that norms these perception into a temporal context.  

Another perceptual function is to identify the spatial relationships of the object in the context of its regions and neighborhoods.  Each perceptual quale become more familiar with spatial contexts over time.  These spatial contexts define the spatial metrics of extension and depth.  Near and far have immediate meaning as we perceive objects.  It does however take time to refocus our attention to regions outside the area of focus. This context is part of the perception and is measured by comparison with expected perceptual spatial norms.  These norms are the parameters of qualitative distinction of the perceived spatial contexts that we have come to expect from previous similar distinctions of context and expect to see characteristically transformed.  

Perceived objects occur thus in the temporal and spatial contexts that we have been describing.  This identification of object boundary and the contextualization of perceptions within a projected temporal-spatial metric occurs upon the perception and is part of the apparent topology of perceptual awareness.  The experience occurs seamlessly as if our perception really is the object of our senses.  Yet this occurs within a region and neighborhood of apparent connection in time and space.  These contextual functions occur intrinsically as part of our perceptual manifold.  We do not need to will them function, but they can be.

Functions can occur semi-automatically like breathing.  We can take a breath and breathe in a certain way, and we breathe as part of our non-cognized process.  Perceptual functions can be skillfully pursued or psychotically dissociated.   Some people have more or less perceptual “insight” in certain ways, more than others.  Each of us gain skill in our attachment of perceptual metrics onto our experience.   These associated perceptual  can be very helpful in art, and sport, and building, and surviving. Most of these metrics are based on our experience of the physical world and the on the agreed upon social convention metrics of spatio-temporal transformation of objects we commonly experience.   

Some people can perceive symmetry and balance and order much more skillfully than others.  Some can smell so discriminately, some see so much.  A master carpenter looks at a house differently than the infant in the crib.  Perception becomes a skillful process, more skillful in some than others.   Each of the submanifolds provide their own unique opportunity for wisdom and foolishness to develop.  Some are so fooled by their perceptions.  They see not so clearly into the future, or distort the past onto the present.  Objects become the grasping or repelling of the projection onto the perception.   Certain perceptual functions become relatively skillful in most humans as they mature.  These ways of perceptual skillfulness is especially exploited by certain artists who paint like we perceive. 

Yet each of us develops a perceptual topology that we experience and express characteristically through our development.  These perceptual ways of transformations are called perceptual schema, and represent the a priori and conditioned patterns of perceptual transformations of the mental objects we experience. The a priori aspects come as a result of our neurophysiological opportunities donated by our genes.  They are also the nurtured way that we have come to become.  Whereas perceived qualia are the matrices of the characteristics of the perceived mental object,  perceptual schema are the matrices that include the transformations of these Qualia.    Schemata are the characteristic schema that develop in the person.  Quale is to Qualia as Schema is to Schemata. 

There are many perceptual schemas. Some such perceptual schemas are a variation of qualifying schemas, topologicizing  and geometricizing and dynamisizing schemas:

 aspect schemas;  relation, pattern and sorting schemas;  orientation schemas;  proximity schemas;  depth schemas;  metricizing schemas, boundary, placement and container schemas;  discreteness, barrier and connection schemas;  spatiotemporal schemas, functional clustering and contextualizing schemas; source-path-goal schemas; focusing schemas, attachment and grasping schemas; substantiating schemas;  dream schemas, imagination schemas, reality schemas;  sequential relations schema….   

Each of these schema are representations of the ways in which we transform sensations into perceptions.  They represent perceptual operations.  Some of the perceptual operations are the involved delivery of the sensory information to the perceivable place.  Perceptual schemas also including seeing, and smelling and tasting and hearing and feeling and propriocepting.  These are the experiential ways that we use these sensory organs to brings us information about sensory objects.  These perceptual schema are most likely primarily determined by our neurophysiological functions that contact the object.  Most of the schema simply happens to us as we look out into the world and is offered to us by our physiology.  The rods and the cones and all the other layers of the eyes sort through sensory information and deliver the sensation to the perceptual screen.  We have no idea what the rods and cones “see”, but they do and we get a perception of the sensory object.  We experience the result of the physiology rather than the a priori physiological and unconscious processes that occurred to bring the perceived mental object to our attention.   Similar to the idea that we do not “know” the physiology of the computer monitor to see the image it projects, we do not know our sensory physiology other than through our perception we behold. 

Perceptual schemas thus represent the a priori operations involved in perceiving, and the momentary experiential operations of the perceptions as they transform.      The function of the functions of perception is to render the images into a function isomorphism that leads to a perceptual homology.   Isomorphism allows for the sharing of the aspectual properties of one object with another.  Functional isomorphism also allows for the sharing of the schemas, and characteristic functional transformation between perceived mental objects.    A homology is an equivalence relation that associates one object with another.  A perceptual homology is a schema that begins the identification process by identifying one object with a class of previously perceived homologous objects.  A sense of resonance occurs on a perceptual level that begins the sorting process as one objects induces the conditioned perceptual qualia or schema.  The resonance occurs naturally as one perceived object is render perceptually homologous to a class of similarly perceived objects.   This resonance is induced by the homologization of the identification qualia and schema with the equivalence relation. 

If we look at something that we cannot quite make out, we often take the time to willfully pursue a clearer input stream.  We aim our senses at the object, focus our attention and what the object transform over time and space in context of meaning and value.  If we cannot clearly identify the object we remain uneasy especially if it contextually requires urgency.  The fuzziness insures that perceptual dissonance. 

We also become quite use to our expectation schemas helping us to sort out the identity of the perception.  Objects occur in context;  our expectations are the pre-perceived perceptual notions that we have come to expect from experience.  There is a weight of perceptual certainty that attaches to the object as we behold it.  That weight changes as we further perceptually consider that object.  Each perception tags a weight of certainty and thus of uncertainty upon the perceived sensation.  The truth of that certainty is different than our confidence;  Confidence is experiential, truth perhaps not.    We come to see the world in how we behold it.  How we behold it is simply what it is, a beholding, neither true nor not true, but an awareness none the less.  The identification of that beholding triggers the categorization and relation schemas.

The Functional  Synthesis of Identification, Relation and Categorization Schema

We identify objects mostly by what we expect them to be.  That is why magic is so effective, they deceive our perceptual expectations.  Magic is purposeful show acts, but the fact that we do not feel surprised all the time means that our expectations have habituated to a certain degree of confidence in our certainty of perceptual accuracy.   We come to expect that the object will act in ways so identified.  We proceed with this assumption of expectation and only pay more attention often only if some perception violate this habitual default.  Experience feedbacks onto the perception qualia and schema in either concordant or discordant ways.  This feedback fine tunes the accuracy and confidence of the perception process. 

Whereas perception is experientially immediate, identification takes time.  Expectation context and accurate dynamical prediction of expected continuation of the mental object is not immediate and requires observing the perception transforming.  A mental object is never stationary because the flow of consciousness is always forward.  One moment goes into the next as object transform.  As long as consciousness identifies the object’s transformation, then consciousness moves according to the transformations of the objects it beholds and identifies.   Identification requires this grasping onto or attachment of an equivalence relation class, a perceptual homology.    Identification cascades the karmic future.

The expectation and contextual schemas aid the identification schemas to begin the recognition of typicality that resonates with the inclusion of a perceived object into a prototypically equivalent class.  This class includes the essential qualia and schema of the identity matrices for  perceived similar objects.  These particular qualia and schema represent the degree of protypicality of the perception with the root class of similar typicality.  If the degree of perceived prototypicality is too uncomfortable, we perceive the objects and their transformations as categorically different. 

Somehow an association of similarity or difference to the expectation matrices occurs.  It occurs stronger if we pay more attention to it.  It especially occurs stronger if we want it to be so.  Speciation and generalization and can only occur after the identification schemas occur.  The processed are constantly occurring in a parallel mode, but are still communtively dependent in the perception, identification, relation, categorization, and then implication time  and order direction. 

Identification occurs with the fuzziness and also with time moving the object forward.  The further dynamics of that object feedback strongly onto its prototypical identification.   The degree of class certainty is typified by a symbolic mapping of that characteristic identification.  The identification schema are the characteristic ways that a person associates and differentiates objects into classes of similarity and distinction. 

The equivalence and congruency confidence level changes as we reconsider the object dynamically over time.   Equivalence represents the certainty in the amount of similarity or sameness, the recognition of the class association.  The congruence of an object with class prototypicality is the degree of the equivalence relation.  We semi-automatically search for associative and discriminatory congruence of a perceived mental object with a class identity.  The congruence schema are based on criterion for inclusion or exclusion qualia.  The identification of perceived objects requires conditions of congruence to “identify” an object as equivalent.   The criterion of the group inclusion is the perceived qualia and schema in the experiential context of the here and now of a particular time and space.  It is this very conditioned perceptual attachment onto the associative matrices that we could call the perceptual karma.

Much of the karma is seeded by our neurophysiological talents and challenges.  Those who are almost fully blind develop visual identification skill differently than a full sighted person.  The same with our a priori imaginary apparatus.  The a priori ability to form images and identify mental objects on the astral and etheric dimensions determines much about the skillful development of mental image processing.  The encouragement and cultivation of a skill is often based on the innate talents, albeit undeveloped, that a being hopes to excel at.    Our skillful development of intrinsically and extrinsically originated perceptual formation and identification needs the curiosity and courage to explore unknown territory.

Pain, for example, amplifies the etheric body around the seed of injury.  Often, say with a sprain, the tissue tears and blood fills a closed joint space.  Some people endure the pain to internally explore the joint by touching it, looking at it externally and internally, moving it and watching it.  Others refuse to even glimpse remotely at the source of the pain because of the amplification of the pain that often occurs when looking at it.  The healing of the joint can be vastly hastened by the proper internal etheric insight and implication to move the blood stagnation yet protect the joint to allow the torn tissue to knit properly. 

A major function of the etheric body is to witness the bodily functions and determine there “proper” functioning.    Most body parts are directly or indirectly “visible” to our consciousness.  Our ability to feel heartburn could prevent bleeding ulcers;  Intestinal cramps let us know to take shelter on the toilet;  Pain tells us that something is haywire.  A major function of the etheric body is to locate and identify bodily functioning.  Each bodily region could represent a topographical map of the etheric perceptions.  Our being etherically maps each bodily region projected with a sense of an eigenfunction norm that we have come to appreciate as “normal” or “healthy”.    A function of the etheric body is to locate, identify snd amplify the awareness into our body part whose proper functioning threatened. 

Another function of the etheric body is to connect our awareness to our body so that we can use it.  Any willed movement requires this connection.  The etheric connection becomes well developed in people who excel in using the body in particular ways.  A surgeon, a seamstress, a dancer, a painter, each of us, develop our etheric body in certain ways and tendencies.  These tendencies will also determine much about how and why we connect with our body and express ourselves trough it. 

The etheric terrain is vast and requires a lifetime to explore and master.  Clarity and skill on this perceptual dimension develops in all sentient creatures that have a body and perceive.  Intentional behavior, that is, the willed movement of a being, relies heavily on etheric dimension perceptual development.  Sensations of the world have a much clearer and obvious tie;  sensations oriented inside our body are mapped by our own private topography schema that identifies and begins the mapping of the region attended to.   The territory is not just of individual regions, but entire neighborhoods and systems.

Our etheric perception helps us to be aware of our “feelings”.  Our emotional feelings represent the contact of our awareness with certain physiological parameters that we identify as a particular feeling.  Sadness, anger, anxiety, stress and all feelings are a result of an etheric contact with a perception of a body-mind state.  The bodily state may feel good or bad and they are used to attach implication to.   Each feeling represents disequilibrium of an etheric representation of a body-mind state.  Every feeling represents a tension to resolve a disequilibrium.  A need is the object class that will resolve the tension.  Each feeling is a etheric perceptual schema that exists to resolve a tension.   Once identified and classified, the feeling is attached to the associated conditioned value and meaning matrices.  This often further amplifies the tension to resolve the need.    The object now is an attractor or repellor changing the very curve of experience towards or away from that object.

Perception on the astral dimension has even a more obscure identification and mapping schema.  It seems like the astral dimension has a connection with awareness somewhere in the brain; yet when truly absorbed in the astral dimension, the body is dissociated from.  The astral dimension is imaginary in the sense that all of its mental objects are intrinsically originated.  The astral dimension is the dimension of the representations.  These representations are “images” and are imaginary and they have a strong creative flux.  They can be transform through the will into a different image.  We can witness these images transforming while we daydream, contemplate, dream, imagine, hallucinate, become delirious.  Our experience sees the objects transforming.  We have the opportunity to contact these transforming objects through our awareness.  It does seem like the screen of the astral perceptions goes on autonomous of our awareness.  We can go in at of paying attention to this seemingly endless stream of astral imagery when we are awake and as we dream. 

These astral experiences have mental objects and those objects have dynamics and transformation.  One function of the astral body is to start the abstraction schemas that we use to represent and map objects.  We can consider events in our mind by considering potential opportunities and methods.  The astral body is the storehouse of memories and the generator of imaginary possibilities and ties the feelings of our world and body with the representational abstraction schemas. 

Some can imagine sounds better than images;  some can stay focused on the astral dimension for hours; others try to ignore, as if they are embarrassed by it.  The capacity to create and transform “images” at will is a root intelligence.  Many children are encouraged not to pay attention to the astral dimension like it does really exist.  Yet they spend most of each day immersed in its attachment. 

Perceptions of sensations originated from the world, or from our body, or from our mind are perceptions none the less and exist on the experiential manifold.  These perceptions are dynamic and transform, and they create meaning and value by resonating with previously conditioned similarly associated value and meaning matrices.   Our attachments of value and meaning matrices to astral originated representations give the images feelings and tendencies of their own.  Our own imagination can anger us or stress us or induce all kinds of implication.   But by abstracting representations from their objects, we have opportunity to  move from reflexive, instinctual response to stimuli to creative, intended, skillful action. 

We see this in the development of all children.  Infants remain tied to the reflexive and instinctual reaction to stimuli for quite a while.  Eventually children can consider objects that are not in their perceptual field.  This implies a representational memory of the object.  Though this abstraction remains concrete at first, as the child matures, humans learn to abstract the perception into a representation.  This abstraction schema is the starting step in conceptual Operations.

Conceptual Schema

As stated above, the astral dimension’s reflexive schema to represent the image begins the representation process.  This is part of the perception processes that hold onto an mental object beyond the immediate perception.  There is a short term and a longer term lingering of the perceived object on our screen of awareness even after we are done focusing on that object.  This lingering and the conditioned memory thereof are the origin of the representation process.  The further memories begin to join.  These memories include all the sub-dimensional reactions, like the perception of the object, the feelings it provoked, the ideas concerning it and the attachments already tied through value and meaning matrices.  The memory is a representational image of some form that represents a set of associated previous experiences and value-meaning tied to an event (an integral of experience over time).  Memories do not need to be of just an external observed event, but of any experiential event.  The representations are mental symbols of the memories of an experiential event, meaning or value.   As experience is experience multi-dimensionally, each event representation is not just of an object class, but of the karmic ties attached to the object class as well. 

Memories, by nature of their hindsight, also carry a weight of new insight attached to the old memory.  As we grow and mature, we see the world different and our memories get colored by the new lenses.  If we have the skill, we get to see how the karma got to be the burden it is, by memory of the past implications and choices tied to a particular object class.  We can ponder a mental object and the attachments to it will come to mind.  If we think of it, an image may come to mind or a memory of dynamic activity.  It may raise feelings by its contact, provoke tensions, and have great implication.   The representation of a mental object forms on the astral dimension and ties the contact of the perception to the representation.  The representation can then be used on the conceptual dimension in the abstract consideration.  The representation can take on any form, but tends to take on the forms that we are experientially already familiar with.  Representations tend to be visual, auditory, kinesthetic or feeling-tied mappings that can be generalized to the properties and transformation of similarly classified mappings. 

Representations are the symbolic forms created to map the descriptors and operators associated with a mental object.  This allows the conceptual schemas to apply the conceptual operations and descriptors to the abstracted class representation.  The linguistic symbol, for example or “a football” ties with it an image form, size, shape and utility characteristics.  We “know” from past experience the prototypical qualia and schema of a football, especially if we further qualify it as an “official NFL football from the 2007 Superbowl that was given to me by my uncle Tom”.   Meaning and value is assigned to the linguistic representation we call a word or phrase.  That meaning and value is used by our logic schema to implicate an identified representation with a significance. 

Logic schema are the operations that we apply to the represented mental objects to consider possibilities of outcome.  The represented mental object implies a memory of form, value, meaning, associated memory and relation.  The mental object must be rendered conceptually equivalent for it to be an adequate representative.  Often we have low confidence in our representation and yet use the object as a similar class descriptor and operator because it is our closest choice of associative representation. The representation is a fuzzy variable.

The logic itself, as a transformation, may also be fuzzy.  Not all logics are clear as a=b, b=c, therefore a=c.  The logic we use in our conceptualization can be quite complex.  We apply “scenarios of outcome” conceptually to our represented perception.  Most logic scenarios are actually quite reflexive:  if this, then that….  Some logic sequences are applied because of conditioned learning;  some are applied because of “logical” relation to other conceptual representations.  All concepts are representations of a class of descriptors and operators (qualia and schema) for  perceptions, conceptions, volitions and possibilities.  Logic is a pattern of transformations applied to a representation.  Every schema has a logic, even if the logic is quite “illogical”.

One might even describe a certain degree of logicality versus fallacy of conceptual schema.  Experientially, we have our conditioned schemas that obey the logic that they have.  We can creatively induce a new logic, but often this is difficult once the karmic rut is dug deep.  People become attached to concepts and their transformations and our concepts bear the wrath of momentum onto our choice.  We live in a world where superstition is disguised as science, and science as truth.  We conceptualized our experience, represent it, share it, expect it.  Our conceptualizations are the pairing of a mental object's value and meaning matrices transforming through functional consideration.  The developed patterns of mapping and functional consideration determine much about a person’s experience. 

A perception does not necessarily linearly mean that a representation is necessary.  But it is often a habit is to assign a representation to an identification and consider the representation as the conditioned and willed logic schema dictate.  As there are many types of concepts, there are many ways of categorizing them.  A concept has descriptors and operators that are either concrete or abstract.  A concrete concept is a ideological construct that directly represents a mental object.   The conceptual preverbal sense of  “Watch out that object might hit you..” is a concrete conceptualization.  Animals understand concepts as such.

Some concepts reflect the relations of other perceptions in a related category.  A name, i.e. a linguistic symbol, for the type of object is a primitive abstract concept.  A concept that relates concepts to other concepts can become progressively abstract.  High level, pure mathematics represent extremely abstract conceptual qualia and schema.  If one can conceive if it, then it exists—at least the conception does.  The representation is not the thing; that old semantic theorem rings especially true in the actual conceptual processes of experience.  We know that words are not the thing, yet they are used as daggers of infliction.  Experientially, concepts carry a lot of weight.  Some concepts come to represent all that is precious and true for us.  These moral ideals become our perceptual, conceptual, volitional and experiential goals.   Our volitional motivation finds seed in our conceptual attachments.  Our movement as a being from instinctual reflexive motivation to wisely skilled.  A concept tells our who how to fulfill a why. 

A concept must be perceived by awareness to be a concept.  A concept is discriminated, identified, related and categorized as are other perceptions, but these types of perception follow conceptual operations.  These are perception of an abstract representational nature, where we automatically know that “this represents that”.  We know the concept represents the meaning and value matrices and schema attached to that concept and we transform these concepts conditionally and creatively. 

A concept has fundamental essential characteristics that tie the representation to a group of properties.  These conceptual quale unify into a conceptual qualia.  A conceptual qualia can be a group of conceptual quale or of qualia. A concept also include the conceptual schemas that transforms a object to a representation.  “A mental object with these attributes will be called “x” “.  The “will be called” part is the conceptual schema part.  A conceptual schema is applied to mental objects as a way to represent and transform the perception. A conceptual schema can also be applied to other concepts or group of conceptual matrices. 

Ideas represent a linguistic formulation that represent a conceptual matrix.  Ideas are the words used to describe a conceptual matrix or group of matrices.   Ideas are word formulations used to describe conceptual matrices.  Concepts can be structured primarily on ideas, since ideas are conceptual in formation, but not all concepts are ideas.  Some concepts are non-linguistic.  Some concepts are perceptual—sensory, etheric and astral, and represent the associative logic that ties objects together into a perceived value or meaning complex.   Some concepts are buddhically originated, that it, they rely more on direct intuitive insight into the conceptual meaning or value. These, so called transcendental concepts, help to communicate our transcendental experiences conceptually. 

In general, the direction of the conceptual logic schema is either synthetic or analytic.   The logic can lead into a conclusion from the given concepts (inductive logic); or given the conclusions, the concepts will transform in certain ways(deductive logic).  Concepts can synthetically build on one another or they can be analyzed as to their essential attributes.  Functional analysis of conceptualization is the conceptual schema that relates the conceptual matrices into further conceptual discrimination.  Function synthesis relates the concepts into further conceptual implication.  These analytic and synthetic, deductive and inductive schemas are the fundamental ways that we orient the conceptualization process. 

Ideas represent concepts and conceptual relationship.  Ideas can be transformed into spoken or written or signed words.  Every idea represents a linguistic symbol for a conceptual representation.  A concept is non-linquistic and represents the value and meaning matrices around the seeded concept, whereas an idea is specifically linguistically represented.   A belief is a linguistic representation of a certain level of karmic attachment to an idea.  A belief is an idea that we hold to represent a certain amount of meaning and value.  The attachment can include a certain types and amount of feelings associated, cognitive dissonance, and moral imperative. 

An attitude is a tendency of conceptual orientation adopted in reaction to the beholding of a mental object.  An attitude is a set of beliefs that we hold in regards to an identified recognized conceptual class of objects.   An attitude is a preconceived notion on the conceptual level and represents our ideological karma, that is our inertial tendency to project ideas onto an object.  Some attitudes are healthy, others less, as our beliefs become entwined with our justifications, distortions, fallacies and despair.   Attitudes seem necessary to represent our conceptual considerations so we can communicate our feelings and ideas about our concepts.

One of the main functions of conceptual schema is to solve an identified problem.  Some schema are developed to solve a particularly perceived tension.  A problem must first be identified.  This requires a logistic notion of “if this, then that…”.    “This” must be identified;  “then” is the condition of the transformation;  “that” is the mapping of this once the transformation is applied.   More complex problems use more complex logic schema and more complex concepts.  How that come from this is not always that apparent.  A major function of concepts is to implicate the dynamics of the present moment into some future potential field.  A problems represents a potential disequilibrium of a field state.  The conceptualization represents the potential ways to resolve into a potential equilibrium.

Not all in life is about solving problems or resolving tensions.   Life is also about enjoyment, fulfillment, qualitative experience and expression.  Many conceptual schema develop to help us to tune into the good life.  Buddhic-dimension based concepts can help us to gain insight into a more graceful and fulfilled way.  Conceptual schema help us to orient our aspirations, hopes, and goals into words and ideas that guide our experience into excellence.   But a concept is only a concept, without the will behind it, a concept goes no where. 

  We momentarily endorse and negate concepts, ideas and beliefs.  This willful re-orientation opportunity of our awareness allows us to steer from our karmic path of conceptual clingingness to the aspiration of our dharmic manifesting.  Every moment allows a degree of control or at least gives us the illusion of potential success of controlling destiny.  That control allows the volitional transformations.

Volitional Operations

            Intention “seems” to have the opportunity to influence mental objects.   Intention is the desire to influence destiny and is the willed to become.   The volitional operations are those willed functions that act on mental objects.   Experience, as the field of awareness over time, includes the power to induce transformation of the objects experienced.   Will is the power to influence a change.  The volitional operations are the functions that we use to control our experience and manifest.

            Manifestation is work.  Work is a force operating on an object through a distance.  The manifestation of our personality is dependent largely on the work of our intention moving our experiential space and its creative expression.  Manifestation is a result of motivation.  Manifestation depends on our conditioned drives impulsed to fulfill a need (reduce a tension) and our control of that impulse;  manifestation also depends on our intension fulfill a conceived hope.  Work is the integral of an the force exerted upon an object over an integral distance: 

So likewise, the manifestation of a person is related to the spatial expression of the motivational forces of that being.  Manifestation is directed in humans by the volitional operations.  The force is the will, the direction is intended towards a hope.  The direction is towards a magnitude of value and meaning. 

            Manifestation also has hindering forces that negate the graceful expression of our intention.  Factors such:  as ignorance, misdirected desires and other self-defeatingnesses, cognitive distortions, environmental and social impedances and synchronistic misfortune.  The direction of the intention is oriented by the egoic basis.  The egoic orientation is like a locally Euclidean geometry imposed upon a much more complex, non Euclidean surface.  The orientation includes a positive direction (more experiential fulfillment, less suffering).  The egoic orientation is the frame of reference based on the preferred conditioned value and meaning matrices.   These would be the apparent eigenvectors and eigenvalues because it is based on the apparent orientation of the egoic matrices.   Because the egoic frame of reference is locally valuable to steer the karma, we use this orientation all the time.  We rudder the momentum given our momentary perceived options in the current of experience.   Our intention is the effort to induce a change in the the vectoral direction of our karma and other experiential influences and can be conceived as the dot product of  our momentum of the current with the force of our intention. 

The dharmic orientation may be quite different than the egoically based karmic frame.  Remember that karma is the inertia occurring in experience by the attachments of awareness to the projected apparent egoic coordinates of good and bad, right and wrong.  The egoic coordinates are the attachments to preconceived notions that we have previousely willed into cultivation.  They are learnings as well as our biases.  They are also based on the locally “Euclidean” egoic frames.  The egoic frames, although preferred, are the conditions by which we evaluate the world.  This is why we could call the egoic matrices conditioned, since this is a conditioning of our experience to transform awareness in a certain way.   These egoic schema function to orient the person to a preconceived frame of evaluation as objects are comprehended.  Awareness attaches to (is conditioned by) egoic orientation frames that perceives, discriminates, identifies, represents, relates, categorizes, conceptualizes, and transforms, and intends in a certain way.  This certain way is the main determinant of the karmic vector. 

What we conceive as the “right way” for us is not necessarily at all, a “good” way.   If we attach our awareness to the egoic matrices and schemas, then we tend towards intending in schematic like ways.  These egoic schemata are our traits of personality.  Traits that lead to fulfillment can be called “virtues”, those that add to our burden, “vices”.  Traits are the patterns of operations that we apply to our experiential options and are conditioned into our way.  What we might momentarily choose as valuable, may become detrimental.  This may be because of the syncronicity of fate, or because our skill of manifestation is less than strong and wise; it may also be because we justified our choice to fit our desires which apparently seemed so valuable at the time.  This “apparent seeming” is partly from the fuzziness, partly from our incapacity, partly from our choosing to see things in a certain way.  The egoic way is the apparently preferred way given our local frame (vector-normed attachments) at the time.  The karma is the projection of this apparent seeming. 

Traits can be defined by the Qualia and Schema matrices that they represent.  A trait is a conceptualization of the association of related attributes or transformations to a discriminated way of personal expression.  A trait is a matrix of correlative intentions that is cultivated into a person’s moral system.  A moral system provides the tendencies to choose to steer experiential fulfillment towards certain principles.  Principles represent the values and schemas that we hope to cultivate.   The correlative intentions are the pattern of disciplined aspiration that we will.

 Our will is slave to the operations it can transform, just like a driver to the vehicle it drives.  We can only will through the operations we are capable, but we can cultivate our being to become more skillful.   Morality is the skill of becoming more skillful.   Options are presented us, we perceive data; we identify, associate and further transform that data,; yet we can also transform the transformation process.  We learn to do better.   We tune our experiential operations towards more skillful functioning.   This is volitional attunement. 

As a being matures, there is a natural tendency to evolve towards or away from the dharmic path.   The dharmic path is the orientation of awareness towards the opportunities that will further cultivate  preciousness.  It represents the frame of orientation from the intrinsic surface of awareness, oriented by real beingness, illumination, fulfillment. Reality of experience is being as it is, simply aware.  Illumination provides comprehension (not attached to the preconceived notions of past matrices, not in tension attracting or not attracting mental objects) fulfilled, at peace, undisturbed, simply being aware.  Simply taking things for as they, undisturbed by the lingering grasping onto the object.  Undisturbed by the association, identification, conceptualization, preference.  A path of equilibrium, graceful like a river of experience flowing relentlessly toward the ocean of completion.    The dharmic path is not a particular way, but a way of many creative opportunities that encourage further experiential quality, a true tangent bundle of valuable opportunities extending from the present moment into future experiential excellence. 

The “quality of experience” includes qualia and schema, descriptors and operators, for awareness as the field and primary frame of orientation.  The egoic matrices use the eigenvectors of their preferred matrixes as its bases for apparent orientation; the dharmic orientation is based in the orientation of the very eigenway of experience itself, that is, the way in which experience is most principally transformed.  The dharmic path includes the most clear way of seeing, the eigenfunction of seeing, the eigenfunction of all the experiential capacities of a being that are within grasp and capability.

This is where volition especially comes in—the grasping.  The dharmic transform is the path of qualitative expression from a place of most real, most mindful, secure.   The grasping is the deluded hope that the objects of the illumination are more valuable than that which illuminates them.  This grasping, the desire to reduce the tension from the apparent need, although at times necessary to survive, becomes neurotically rigid in its way of grasping.  These ways of grasping develop into volitional schemas.

Actually grasping is not the only direction of attachment to a object.  The object can also be a repellor that a being seeks to avoid and let go of.  The object can be any experiential object or its transformation.   The identification of awareness to believe that it is the object that occupies it, even if that object is a perception, conception, volition.  The awareness becomes disturbed by the grasping onto the object.  The awareness can become habitually disturbed by habitually pursuing objects in dysfunctional ways that cultivate suffering. 

The fundamental moment of control for a person is at the moment of initial pursuit, for the will calls in the transformation.  The will is at the mercy of the operations at hand and the capacity to make change, but experience calls attention to this moment of opportunity and the will steers the experience by inducing the functions to occur.  Induction is the right word, because the will only “gives the nod”, so to speak, for an operation to be performed.  Some more complex operations require the will to keep the focus and determine specific momentary pattern of the transformations.  Like a driver who pushes the throttle to induce the car to perform as such, the will induces the functions to be performed. 

Mental objects appear to our awareness.  We can pursue them , avoid them, hold onto them, let go, or simply ignore them.  But objects are “put in front” of awareness.  Awareness illuminates the object, further directs the focus, but awareness can only “will” the induction or non-induction of operations.   Operations occur behind the scenes of awareness, like the CPU of a computer occurs beyond the awareness of the operator. 

The field of awareness includes as part of its nature, the capacity to induce an intentional change.   This capacity is not the reflexive reaction to contacting an object, but is the operant cultivation beyond this reaction.  Emotions, instincts and drives are related to these reflexes.  The intentional capacity is the willed directed volitional pursuit of an opportunity, or the creation of that opportunity.  We use our perceptual, emotional, cognitive skills that we have at hand.  The will can purposely cultivate the skills at hand and willfully condition a better way into becoming.    Capacity is the storehouse of qualia to reference and schema to successfully apply to experience;  Inducibility is the willingness to do so minus the impedances.   One’s capacity and inducibility plus opportunity determines one’s intelligence.  

Experience once attached to mental objects experiences change.  The attempt to control this change is volition.  Will power is the ability to manifest change (do experiential work).  This ability is based on ones experiential capacities and one’s willingness to induce these capacities.  Will power is the measure of one’s capacity and one’s willingness to manifest excellently.       Wisdom is the successful capacity to manifest the most worthy of principles.  Morality schema are the ways we cultivate wisdom.

            The moral capacities include the stored influences of the perceptual and conceptual qualia and schema, but also more importantly, the momentary buddhic ability to discriminate and evaluate:  More good, more bad; more true, more false; more right, more wrong; Simply, go here, go there.  The buddhic operations are this very schema that momentarily judges experience.  Projections from the buddhic submanifold transformations polarize the awareness manifold into its apparent orientation towards more or less quality.   The primary buddhic transformations include discrimination, insight, evaluation and intention.  The buddhi is that aspect of our awareness that sees the difference and similarity between this and that.  No metric is possible without this buddhic insight.  The buddhic insight is internal nod of yea or nea.

            The buddhic dimension also accrues karma.  The karma can be fundamentally harmonizing or fundamentally discordant.  Our discriminative and choice schema become the conditioned preferences of inertial drag based primarily on egoic and other impulsive/compulsive factors.  Our insight itself becomes conditioned into the primary filter of the other submanifolds.  If oriented toward the dharmic metrics, then this insight is fundamentally upright, true and encouraging.  However, if the buddhic insight is fundamental askew then neurosis and psychosis is more likely to bare its karmic wrath. 

            Each of have a certain “integrity quotient” which is a measure of our karma to align with our dharma.  Similar to The Q-factor in physics that measures the integrity of the resonance, the integrity quotient is the measure of fundamental resonance of a being with (their truly characteristic way and graceful expression) as compared to their conditioned momentary momentum.  This integrity quotient is a measure that describes the ability of a being to discriminate and evaluate experiential events accurately and creatively, creating valuable and meaningful expressions.  Integrity is the actual sweetness of a being’s life compared with their true creative potential.

            The buddhi is thus the tuning schema that a being uses to transform their life into value.  The buddhi evaluates an object and its associated matrices/schema and directs the next focus of attention.  This attentional direction begins the volitional schemas.    Conditioned consciousness is such that it tends to take on the characteristics that which it is focused upon.  The directed awareness points in directions that can be primarily either conditionally impulsed or insightfully cultivated.  If the buddhic awareness tends to focus in ways that are askew and self-defeating, then the karma tends to become putrid and festering.  If the buddhi tends to be accurate and encouraging, then life has a far greater chance of saying afloat in the ocean of conditioned samsara. 

            Clearly, the buddhic development determines the fundamental orientations of awareness.  The buddhi represents the fundamental orientation schema that sets the opportunity for overtone.  The buddhi schema are the “most characteristic way” we transform awareness into value.  They are the orientation, discrimination, and evaluation of a percept, concept, relation and opportunity intrinsic to the manifold of experience itself.  The extrinsic projections occur upon the attachment of awareness to the apparent meaning and value that a being is conditioned to believe.  The alignment of the intrinsic and extrinsic orientations breeds the concordant resonance we call integrity.  Integrity allows the most congruent path for wisdom to develop. 

            The early dispositional buddhic tendencies can be conditioned by encouragement and discouragement.  Most beings are encouraged to attach their standards of true with extrinsic conceptual rules, laws, and principles.  This conditioned encouragement to attach to an extrinsic projection of orientation and metric  can atrophy the buddhic functions into a conditioned response.  The buddhic functions are the very discrimination of the ways of orienting and attaching to the conceived orientation, and the momentary judgment whether it is oriented correctly.  The discrimination is the looking this way or that, like this or that. 

            The buddhi does not just discriminate, it also integrates, that is, synthesizes the particular object with the experiential context.  Every region of awareness is momentarily contextualized by the perceived contiguity of time and space as well as the associated memories of experiential duration and extension presented to awareness projected on that object.  The buddhic schema includes the experiential urge to sort for coherency.  The buddhi schema of discrimination/analysis, integration/synthesis sets the fundamental overtone for the identification, relation and utility schema that evaluates each object presented to it.  A being has the ability to discriminate between an object it the characteristic metrics imposed upon the object, but most of us maintain the karmic stubbornness to identify objects in certain characteristic egoically induced ways.  So continues the identification process that deludes sentient beings to believe that objects themselves are fulfilling, rather than the experience of the subjects who experiences them. 

The buddhi schema also includes the willingness to pursue an opportunity that fulfills a principled meaning or value.  The buddhi schema include the capacity and willingness to further determine our opportunities.   The ability to be intelligent and intentional depend on a priori constitutional factors and on our willingness to be aware and create change at the very moment of consideration.  This momentary willingness has conditioned karmic influences even before the identification process.  Often this willingness is based on expectation, one of these process a priori identification.  Expectation is the contextual preconceived notions that impel awareness to behold in certain ways.   Expectation skews awareness to begin the identification and evaluation process as such. 

            The buddhic operations thus are the essential volitional transformations that allows awareness to behold objects in characteristic ways.  Each non-buddhic submanifold presents objects to awareness with attached projected associated norms.  These submanifolds are the extrinsic  frames projected onto the intrinsic buddhic frame.  The intrinsic frame also has its intrinsic skews. It is hard for a being to gain insight into their intrinsic curves until a being recognizes the analytic and synthetic processes occurring.  A consciousness can reflect back onto the way of being aware.  One can then intentionally operantly condition the transformations of awareness to become better aware.  The buddhi includes these meta-functions of awareness to become more aware of the intrinsic operative tendencies of their awareness. 

            A being also has the volitional opportunity to remain unaware of any mental objects beside ones one fundamental nature.   A being can become absorbed in a state of no-attachment to any perception, identification, representation or transformation of a mental object.  One may simply be, and be aware.   Experience includes the experience of awareness, but technically experience stops.  When identified with a changing mental object, awareness changes;  if awareness is identified simply as the state of being aware, then there is no change or extension.  Time and space stop because there is no duration or extension occurring.  Experience is awareness over time.  Experience occurs with the identification of the transformation of a region of awareness.  When awareness is absorbed in its own fundamental nature non-identified with objects, then …there is awareness, which includes the fundamental qualities of being and awareness.  No tension, no disturbance, no transformation;  Being aware.

            Disturbance begins with the willingness to be more than aware-- to be aware of something.  Curiousity, drive and contextual urgency present the opportunity to discriminate, identify, relate, associate, become.    As we attach our awareness to these projected metrics of value and meaning we get caught in the world of seemingly eternal tension. How we deal with these tensions determine much about our development and pursuit of the good life.  We want to believe that our experience is based on the objects we behold, but it is also based on how and why we behold.  A need is only a need if we see that the need exists and identify it as so. Thus continues conditional awareness.   Even the mystical dimensions are part of the conditional awareness. 

            The buddhic transformations include insight into the mystical dimensions.  There are two fundamental types of mystical transformations.  One occurs momentarily with an insight into a space of awareness that is profound and valuable.  This mystical awareness lingers into the future with the karmic repercussions tied to that experience.    The other fundamental mystical transformations are a result of mastery.  Mastery is the successful cultivation of experience to enjoy and create the profound and valuable.  The path of mastery is lined with patterns of discipline that sharpens the inherent talents of experience into techniques of excellence.   The goal of mastery is to brew karma that harmonizes future awarenesses into peak experiences with minimal perturbation.  

Enlightenment is the experiential state of accurate insight into that which is real and good.   Our fundamental nature of being and being aware is that which is most real and good about our experience.  Enlightenment requires the insight into our most fundamental nature of being, the inherent quality of that which is.  Being simply aware of being allows us insight into this ontological fact of being.  The is the awareness of our most real and true, of our immanence.  Once tied to the objects of awareness projected from the other submanifolds, awareness moves into the world of happiness and sadness, right and wrong, wanting, not wanting and the rest of projected causes of suffering.   The stronger the clingingness onto the objects whether they be form, perception, conception, volition, or their transformations, the stronger the tension towards perturbation.   Perturbation is cause by the magnitude and style of clingingness onto the object at hand.  Some styles are particularly karmically putrid and destructive.   Enlightenment is the insight that our attachment to mental objects and their transformations are the cause of our suffering, and that freedom from suffering is the remaining settled in our most immanent way. 

Because the inertial force of the mental objects to attact and repel our awareness, our awareness warps, a curvature develops.  All conditionally influenced awareness has the influence of this experiential space warping.  The warping can be harmonizing or dissonant for the future inertia based on the security and skill of the awareness that rides on its surface.  Surfing the tide of this inertial, we rudder our way towards a better way.  Our skill in surfing is our life mastery and is called wisdom.   Enlightenment schema and wisdom schema are the transformations of the mystical realm.   These functions encourage the cultivation of ways free as possible from suffering and full of peak experiences.  Peak experiences can include an inducement of physiological functions that are profound, insightful and valuable. 

A being may learn to stimulate endogenous serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine, endorphins etc.  Various movements, mantras, qigongs, yoga asanas and pranayamas result in such transformations.  Pharmacological influences like LSD, peyote and mushrooms, opiates, cannabis etc, can also open the doors to willful cultivation of physiological transformations that lead to a valuable experiences.  As the skill is balanced by the negative influences of these ways, one can also lead to a severe perturbation of future awareness as the karmic influences manifest.  Mastery includes the skillful cultivation of karma that we can live well with. 

The fact that pharmacology and injury have the power to influence just about every aspect of our experience leads us to conclude that our experience is severely linked to a neurophysiological substratum.  Experience’s interdependence with physical reality as a “cause of awareness” is likely;  Physical reality’s interdependence with experience as a “cause of physical reality” is also likely.   This paradox is weaved into all of conditioned experience.  We can skillfully apply this paradox so as to cultivate our physical and experiential tools to carve out the good life.   It is the very relationship of our experience with matter over time and space that determines the qualitative dynamics of our life. 

Volition is part of behavior.  Behavior includes the reactions and reflexes, impulsions and compulsions, and physiology that accompanies our volition.   From the experiential frame, behavior is the qualitative dynamics of mental objects extended and durated.  The particular mental object could be the body, or a region of the body as peered through the etheric window,  or as seen in a mirror or monitor.  In experience, behavior is experience as the behavior of any perception.  We witness our physical behavior with our eyes and ears and proprioception etc.  We see others “behavior” and assume that our “behavior” looks the same, but our experience of behavior and the physical actions of behavior are different.  The behavior that we will focus on will be the experience of behavior.   

Behavior will mean a witnessing of directed change.  The behavior of mental objects include their intrinsic physical properties as witnessed, and also their qualitative direction.  This direction is the tie of the object with a qualia.  The qualia is the charge of the object to change our awareness towards or away from it in a characteristic way.  An event is the transformations of the qualities of objects as they change in time and space.  An event is the qualia changing over an integral of spacetime.   Behavior is the qualia and schema of events. 

Behavior is the experiential tendencies of events.   Perceptions have different behaviors than conceptions; Volitional behavior is different than these.  We learn to use our capacities to do what we want.  We experience behavior early in life as something that happens to us.  Our skill in driving our opportunities are weak and immature.  As we mature, we master the behavior of our opportunities.  These opportunities are the tools of expression that we can use to express our intentions.  By witnessing the tendencies of outcome of intention, we can learn to behave better.  This behavior may expressed through the body or through any volitional reach of awareness. 

We practice behaviors all the time.  Work and play, and sport and art, so many reasons to express change into the forms of our experiential opportunities.   Learning is the conditioning that relates a perceived similar event as an opportunity for a particular behavior.  The behavior is a series of transformations applied to the perceived object.   Learning is the strength of the tie-grasping-clingingness-attachment of an identified event for a behavior to be expressed.    Our learning repertoire and style (qualia and schema) determine our karmic transformations.  This sets the current field of perceived curvature for the awareness to assimilate or accommodate or ignore an event.   Behavior is the witnessing or our karma.

Our karmic schema include the inertial tendencies of our experience to transform an event.  The are willed by complacency as well as intention.  The karmic schema are the willingnesses to believe the egoic projections, with its associated matrices, metrics and transforms.   The karmic schema is the apparent curvature projected on the field of awareness, how we tend to curve our experiential spacetime continuum.  All of our transformations are karmic tramsformations because karma is how we tend to transform, the impulsion to change as such.  Just us we are more like to go downhill on a ski slope, we are more likely to behave,  effect a cause into action, according to the karmic field influences.  The karmic schema can be considered the resultant schema of the experiential vectors, the overall tendency to behold and become in a characteristic way.  Karma is the eigenvector of our tendency to become, how we tend to be going. 

Every submanifold can be considered by its resultant karmic vectors within that dimension.  We have  an eigenvector for perceptual karma, conceptual, volitional, and behavioral karma.  Those whose karmic eigenvectors breed further negative transformation have experiential pathologies depending on the quality and strength of the perturbation potential.  Those with perturbation potentials that pass a certain critical point of suffering induction ability could be called mentally ill.  Psychosis is the fundamental perceptual, cognitive or volitional characteristics that are illusion, delusion, or harmful.  Neurosis is the tendencies weaved into experience that tend to warp awareness away from the real and true, meaningful, valuable.  Neurosis are those personality traits (schema) that use harmful or delusory egoic matrices to metricize the world.   This leads to a lot of incongruences when related to physical and social realities.  These incongruences amplify into the discordant karmic repercussions of further incongruencies.   Neurotic experience is distorted from the real, meaningful and valuable.

The most fundamental volitional congruence that need pervade a healthy being is the willingness to become towards further fulfillment.  The loss of hope to become-cynicism, is a driving force to become not.  Becoming requires hope.  The willingness to hope is the most fundamental upright tendency of a healthy experiential being.  Hope pulls the discipline to create change towards a principled goal. 

Not all experience is pulled; much is pushed.  Drives, physics, other people, conceived pressures and the karmic influences push objects upon us, invade our experiential space and demand attention.  We have physiology and a body with needs and desires letting us know that we must act.  Morals are schema or strategies to act upon what is presented in a principled way.  The conceptual moral value schema can be put into words and described as moral codes or laws.   Moral schema describe those volitional transformations that are based on congruence with preferred value and meaning matrices.  Moral schema are the transformations of the transformation based on egoic matrices, as such, they can be called the egoic schema.  The egoic schema are those transformation of events in a pre-blessed characteristic way.  Morality is the disciplined adhered in congruence with the egoic metrics.  Moral schema have no place, quality, relation or transformation in non-egoic, non-metriced space with no mental objects.  Morality lines the path to fulfillment, but not fulfillment itself. Morality also lines the path to despair.  At least we have some choice. These choices become our coping strategies, and further add weight to the grip of the strength of karma.  Volition steers the rudder of our being as we surf the wave of experience.  What a ride.
