Made of Music

 

I would consider myself to be a light being made from music. A part of a message manifested into flesh; made from light, born from and carrying a piece of the shout of the universe. Iteration after iteration, I have been around since the beginning of spacetime, molding my internal and external environments to create additions to consciousness for the sake of better understanding, growth, and expansion. 

 

I hope that in this reading, you may find a piece of you.

 

The Universal Self

 

I would like to first draw attention to the first and third principles of biocentrism where it states that our perception of reality involves the process of consciousness, and that all subatomic particles are linked to the presence of an observer. These three principles are supported by scientific experiments outlined by Robert Lanza, a replication and change of the double slit experiment. An excerpt from the writing in “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are Keys to Learning the True Nature of the Universe” is below.  

 

“ Something’s happened. It turns out that the mere act of measurement, of learning the path of each photon, destroyed the photon’s freedom to remain blurry and undefined and take both paths until it reached the barriers. Its “wave-function” must have collapsed at our measuring device, the QWPs, as it instantly “chose” to become a particle and go through one slit or the other. Its wave nature was lost as soon as it lost its blurry probabilistic not-quite-real state. But why should the photon have chosen to collapse its wave-function? How did it know that we, the observer, could learn which slit it went through?”

 

I would like to propose the perspective that the universe observes itself. And by way of principle two:…that our internal and external perceptions are inextricably intertwined; that the dark matter and energy that the universe is composed of becomes a conscious observer; the Universal Self. 

 

Imagine that the particles in your brain are entangled with the dark matter and energy that makes up the universe. Imagine that your consciousness is entangled with the consciousness that makes up the universe and observes itself. Without a physical body and all of its tools, it appears to me that the Universal Self would observe by thought. That it acts as an organic cloud based storage system, allowing it to grow and expand and create new life. You are both perceiving the universe from the perspective of self and also from the external perspective of Universal Self.

 

I would like to decline to support Principle four; that “Without consciousness, ‘matter’ dwells in an undetermined state of probability. Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.” I believe that the Universal Self is always conscious, even in a state of probability because it has to “create” probability. It could not randomize and pair information without the process of perceiving possibility. The Universal Self would know every iteration of life and being to be created. 

 

I am in partial support of Principle five: “The very structure of the universe is explainable only through biocentrism. The universe is fine-tuned for life, which makes perfect sense as life creates the universe, not the other way around. The universe is simply the complete spatio-temporal logic of the self.” It seems that biocentrism validates all perspectives of an explanation for the existence of the universe because every perspective is both of the being and of the Universal Self; we are all linked together. This principle supports itself, but only if the being sees life through the lens of biocentrism, and this is a choice we are given. Many people can come to the same conclusion about a Universal Self without the lens of biocentrism. That is neither here nor there. The statement that life creates the universe could be reframed as - The Universe possesses and creates life. This statement would support Biocentrism principles. 

 

Harmonic Entanglement

 

To introduce you to the concept of harmonic entanglement, we must approach it with principles of biocentrism in mind. If things in our reality are only existing after we perceive them, then it must be that music exists somewhere observed before it reaches our ears.  

Imagine Music as a set of probability waves that collapse their function once it is in your mind. This would explain why musicians sometimes hear the music in their head before they write it down or record it. 

To compare it to the two slit experiment, we could theorize that music exists as probability until interfered with and measured by the being’s consciousness and perception. 

One song's message could be shot at two slits (or two different beings) and their perception would interfere with the message and the message would change its form when they try to measure it or organize it in time.

Music, from this view, is a composition of a collection of thoughts, that are organized by the Universal Self, shaped by both the internal and external environment in which consciousness exists. -- in short, we are stabilized in a web of consciousness in which music is created and delivered to the being to manifest into their physical reality. We perceive this music and react to it, our reactions cause ripples in consciousness that trickle back to the observer, and the cycle repeats itself. 

 

 

Deep Space, Dark Matter: a beginning 

 

I imagine the Universe sat still with itself as the Universal Self. A sea of dark energy and dark matter sitting still and without time, thinking; Imagining the probabilities of celestial bodies and their iterations of life. In this state, the universe would be made up of equal parts consciousness and matter. It would observe itself in peace. 

 

The Best Idea

 

An iteration of life appears in a stream of consciousness with the tools to keep manifesting on top of itself. It creates an ecosystem for life to exist with the tools to feed itself information about the environments created. I imagine that the universe got a great idea. What if the universe could experience that harmony from a grand individual perspective, from every possible iteration it could think of at the moment?  

 

 

Blackholes: the Heart of the Universe

 

When a large star ends its life cycle, it implodes and creates a black hole. The interesting thing to me is that when two black holes collide, they create a reverse transient that when played sounds like the heartbeat of a fetus. When LIGO researchers picked up the burst from their receptors, it was lower in pitch, and when played in reverse sounds like a 50hz heartbeat. When two of them collide, it creates life at the beat of a new drum in the form of quantitative information. 

I like to imagine that a black hole is a gap and portal to consciousness. It could then be conceived that when matter and consciousness are shredded and sucked into a black hole, they are absorbed by the universal consciousness, allowing it to process the information from its internal perspective and re enter space in another iteration at a later point in time.  

 

The Energy Cycle, The Choice 

 

The individual does not have control over the universe, but it has a choice to acquiesce to its ebb and flow. 

The energy of the universe at its ultimate state is neutral. It seems, however, that in order to create probability, it had to create a binary. I would like to urge the reader to imagine this binary as "quantitative" versus "qualitative” information. Two types of information that work with each other and also stand alone. 

 

In the experience of life, it appears that the being plays an important role in the expansion of the universe, but only if given the proper tools. When said that you can affect change through individual responsibility, it is the truth of the workings of the mechanism we exist within. We are able to control our internal environment and only interfere with our external environment to an extent. We have to take into account that not all iterations of life exist on earth alone and that the sum of consciousness is greater than what exists in the current physical manifestation of earth, its beings, and history. 

 

It appears we have been slowly walking into an information age ruled by qualitative sources. 

 

With the surface of media and internet, the being consumes and produces qualitative information in high quantities. The being looks for something it relates or reacts to, and these reactions and relations cause thoughts and emotions - eventually turning back into the action of creating qualitative information and data. Essentially, we have walked ourselves into a qualitative binary rule, by way of a quantitative past (a physics dominated era) . 

In other words, we thought ourselves into a period of feeling and emotional sensitivity to information.

 

This is not to say that qualitative information is illogical. It plays an integral part of how we interact with each other. We can link the cycle as so; For example: 

 

1. A human being shares a post for public perception. Either or both qualitative and quantitative information is given to the public to be perceived by each individual iteration of perspective.  

2. Qualitative data expressed as Emotional responses are shaped and triggered by way of the event being filtered through the individual's iteration of perception (perspective)

3. Information is expressed again in neutral energy by way of qualitative and quantitative content. 

 

It is here that we could expect to sit while the probability of effect and outcome manifest themselves in our reality here and elsewhere. With quantitative information comes qualitative reactions and responses that lead to more processing of those reactions and responses. Qualitative measurements are subjective due to individual perspective, experience, and iteration. It appears at the root, we could express the experience in ratio of qualitative to quantitative as follows.

• Content release: 1:0, 1:1, 0:1

• Processing by internal perception: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, etc

• Redistribution/Creation of responding, reactive, or derivative content: 1:1

 

 

It is our choice to move through the life experience with the patience to process and communicate qualitative data about our internal and external environments.  

 

Like Turtles in the Wind

 

Roughly 400 thousand years ago, there began a presence of sound waves. In the first 12 minutes (relative to the human being's life span) after the big bang, the sound,  presented by Mark Whittle, is a downward gliding wave that sounds like a tonal jet stream. The collision created qualitative information. While he expresses that time and gravity had allowed higher frequencies to form first and lower ones to grow later causing the glissando, it appears to me that if we consider space as a medium made of dark energy and matter it could travel through similarly to the tones in our atmosphere. 

If we apply biocentrism theory to this thought, the universe consciously creates sound as energy and matter, demonstrating its range, allowing itself to travel with time and space around it as a tool to manipulate its own form. Spacetime could then be manipulated by its observer in front of the sound source to allow it to create a longer waveform, modulating the pitch of the sound. 

 

If you think about it, beings do the same. When we talk, we manipulate time and space around our words, fitting more or less information in a longer or shorter period of time. This can be exhibited in a few iterations. We can add an emotion to a word when we change the pitch of it. When we speak and are happy, the melody of our speech can sometimes jump up a 3rd in interval. When we speak and are sad, the opposite happens. The same can be said about conversational speed. If the conversation is arousing, you may find that the flow of your speech patterns increases in frequency, and the opposite if you are disinterested. 

 

How did you get here? Nobody's supposed to be here. 

 

If you chose to enter a combination state with Universal Self, you might find that you exist already in six dimensions. 

To be a being, you exist in at least four as something that possesses length, width, depth, and now spacetime; all of which are quantitative information and you are its carrier. However, we must take into account the other side of the binary; the things that you do not see in your physical four dimensional reality because they are linked to your internal perception. These things belong to self and cannot be perceived by others until you react. These internal processes exist in the fifth dimension as emotions and trigger sixth dimensional energies that are used to create your response and actions. Whether you realize it or not, you exist out of creation as a sixth dimensional entity. 

To enter a 7th, would mean existence in the combination state of self and Universal Self. To enter an 8th would grant a new possibility of perspective. 

 

Universal Self as Cowriter

 

The Universal Self speaks in truth or it will provide a command or suggestion. 

 

You can interact with the Universal Self during a writing session by using a stream of consciousness technique. 

Whether freeform or with a prompt, I found that the Universal Self will tell on itself about its intention. I have also found that if you ask, it will answer. 

As a songwriting instructor I would ask my students to write for 7 minutes straight with music in the background after giving them a prompt. 

I asked them to write down two thoughts, two feelings, a color and time of day.  

 

Usually the exercise goes two ways: the student's writing becomes either a reaction to their internal environment or external environment. 

I then asked them to combine what they've written into a few short sentences and rhyme the sentence a few times without a specified pivot point. 

 

After you take a step back from this exercise and look at what you've written, you'll notice common themes between some of the words and sentences. These themes become the overarching topic for the song's messaging. 

 

If you zoom in from there you can begin to discern which phrases and sentiments come from you and which ones are coming from the Universal Self. Thoughts and feelings can be nonlinear when expressed or when they come to us, and so from this point it is our job to decode the message of the Universal Self and grant it individual perspective, giving it both properties of something that belongs to internal self and something that belongs to the external world. 

 

The Combination State & Time as a Tool

 

There is a song by Modest Mouse in which a clear Self to Universal Self connection is apparent. In the song “ We are Between” the lyrics speak to a combination state of perspective. 

The lyrics are below: 

 

Hello, hello, hello

This is the worst part

We are, we are, we are

Mirrors of our own faults

Hello, hello, hello

This is the best part

We are, we are, we are

Driven by our own thoughts

We are between, we are between, yeah, we are

Somewhere between dust and the stars

So open, then snap shut, yeah, but here we are

We are between, we are between, yeah, here we are

Hello, hello, hello

This is the worst part

We are, we are, we are

Made of old rocks and salt

Hello, hello, hello

This is the best part

We are, we are, we are

Made up of grass to straw

We are between, we are between, yeah, we are

Somewhere between dust and the stars

So open, then snap shut, yeah, but here we are

We are between, we are between, yeah, here we are

We are between, we are between, yeah, we are

Somewhere between dust and the stars

So open, then snap shut, yeah, but here we are

We are between, we are between, yeah, here we are

 

In January of 2017, a message for a friend came to me as their horoscope for the rest of the year. As I sat at my computer I felt a jolt of energy from the top of my crown straight down to my root chakra. I listened to an old playlist the person made and began to do some mental time traveling. I began to visualize memories from when I first heard those songs. I then felt the feelings that I had felt during that time, in the present moment, and began to process them. I began to write down some words. I ended up writing a song called Ready Set go. It is a song about relationships. It is meant to be a song written from three perspectives. Self(me) Universal Self(I), and the combination state(we). 

 

Words are as follows: 

 

*

If this city don’t make me mean,

then god damn it’ll make me pretty.

But I don’t know who to believe, and

god damn, it’s getting kinda heavy .

 

I’m saying…

I love you.

I need you.

You can’t leave

I’m not done with you

Tell me

how to keep you around

 

Baby slow down.

We’re in the right place at the right time

I know we're gonna figure it out

Baby it’s alright

We're gonna be alright

Cause I already know you,

me myself and I.

Baby it’s alright.

We’re gonna be alright.

 

If this city don't set me free,

Then god damn, it’ll get me ready.

Cause I don’t know who to believe,

but god damn, you’re holding me steady.

 

I’m saying…

I love you.

I need you.

You can’t leave

I’m not done with you

Tell me

how to keep you around

 

Baby slow down.

We’re in the right place at the right time

I know we're gonna figure it out

Baby it’s alright

We're gonna be alright

Cause I already know you,

me myself and I.

Baby it’s alright.

We’re gonna be alright.

 

Can you tell me what you want?

It’s okay if you don’t know.

Cause I don’t know what I want

All I know is I need you now.

 

Baby slow down

We’re in the right place at the right time

I know we gonna figure it out

Baby it’s alright

It’s gonna be alright

Cause I'ma get to know you

for the rest of my life.

Baby it’s alright.

We’re gonna be alright.

Shortly after writing the song, I was admitted into a psychiatric facility by some of my friends for what I knew to be an episode of psychosis. It appeared to be that once I received this energy, I could not process it in a way that allowed me to be functional. I did not have the language or awareness to understand what I was experiencing and hold flow. I can remember the evening that I ran out of Arlene’s Grocery, the night before being admitted. I was shown a vision of my future on the path I was taking. I didn’t like what I saw, so I chose to let go of the narrative I was processing as it was imposed by social media, friends and family. 

During my time at the hospital, when I edged on the side of mania I coped with music and played piano. I was able to play faster and improvise with songs on the radio although they were rapidly being changed by another patient. It felt as though my brain was telling me which key the next song was in before my hands had finished the phrase. 

I can recant now that there were a few circumstances that caused my brain’s city to operate at warp speed by way of stress induced trauma responses.  During my hospitalization I was administered medication and a speed limit was put on my brain for 4 years with the diagnosis of schizoaffective bipolar one. I sat in a state of reflection for 4 years after being released from the hospital. I went inward and began to rediscover the self I’d known in youth and attempted to heal traumas by way of therapy, music therapy, meditation and mindfulness practices. 

After I returned home, the first thing that I noticed was that the music went away. I was no longer able to perceive the music at all without inducing a controlled hypomanic state. I was given a book, wherever you go there you are by Jon Kabat Zinn. I began to dive deeper into my meditation practices and began incorporating mindfulness as well, creating rituals for my daily life in order to allocate time to try to find the music. 

During those four years the music mostly came in pieces to me. They would be jumbled with a lot of other ideas and I would have to find a way to separate and locate the intention and pull It outward. 

I visited a psychiatrist at UT southwestern medical center in DFW for 4 years, and before I relocated, he disclosed that he was unsure of my diagnosis and to seek the opinion of a second doctor. The issue was that I was aware that my auditory and visual hallucinations were not in my physical reality. 

A second psychiatrist confirmed the belief that if I truly had the original diagnosis, I would lack an aspect of awareness to be able to discern what was in my physical reality and what was not. I was re-diagnosed then with cyclothymia. A rare mood disorder similar to that of bipolar, however the curve of the person's mood starts higher and does not go as low as that of bipolar. 

It was explained to me by my psychiatrist that your brain is like a little city. There's a highway and some residential roads. Our current medicine does not allow for a medication to control the speeds of both roadways separately so for now it must only put a unifying speed limit on the whole city.

After my re- diagnosis I reduced the amount of medication that I take, and the speed limit in the city is a little higher. I no longer have to induce a hypomanic state to hear the "original" composition.

 

The Heart's Brain: Partitioning the Drive 

 

To let the heart take the reins on the decision making during the songwriting process can 

strengthen your connection to the Universal Self.

We can partition the consciousness by allocating decision making to the heart and the heart's brain. Whatever the emotion or mood that you're trying to elicit, it would be best to trust your own reaction to the music and make decisions that way. Base those decisions off of physical and emotional responses, not logical composition, as music (while logical in a relative sense) takes on a more emotional presence in its existence - it is easier to convey an emotion if you have experienced it. 

 

Love & Home

 

We want to live and love. At the root of it, the universe wants to feel, and we are in part the same. How many times can the universe express the importance of connection? Love can be conditional and unconditional, but both exist together and one does not negate the other’s existence. They can even work together. A perfect example: would be the expression of the being’s complicated opinion on the state of existing. The human being is split on whether they enjoy the life experiment, while the universe keeps creating life, regardless if the human being expresses gratitude. This should put it into perspective that we are part of the Universe’s structure. That we created our own iteration of self, and that we are the Universal Self, and also individuals. If we exist in both peace and chaos beyond the Earth, we exist in the same way on its crust. 

The most recent iteration of earth bound civilization equates time to money. As time is relative to the individual, this does not make much logical sense to me. It is a cycle of trading time for money for time to spend money. The being has lost focus of the external and internal environment in which they exist as they are only perceiving time from the perspective that they have a limited amount of it. We can manipulate our perception of time, by way of internal processing. If we think we have a limit, then we have one. Not to say that physical limitations are not real or legitimate. I mean more so, that the individual has the power to choose how they use their time and how fast they move through it. 

I urge the reader to zoom in a little bit, and think of internal as Self, and the external as the Earth. Our home breathes, cries, listens, speaks. 

I am not the first person to claim the Earth is in trouble. It’s apparent that our home is a reflection of our internal environment. It seems She is tired of the chemicals. Life is a lottery that we all won, and the caveat is taking care of the internal and external environment in which we chose to house consciousness. We can choose to exist as the manifestation of Love, and use her knowledge to change and expand our reality whether physical or meta. It seems as though the purpose of the being is to love and find that equilibrium outside of the Universal Self. So that we may exist in or move freely through the combination state. 

 

Welcome to 6D

 

In other words; to explore the expression of data in a qualitative manner, as we have already been doing, is to step into the 6th dimension. To attempt to put it simply; you are expressing the data of something metaphysical, giving proof that it exists in spacetime as an event because you, the individual, perceived it. The expression of the data is a creation that you have manifested by processing.

 

 

A note

 

Thank you for reading this text. I appreciate you and have gratitude for your time. 

Throughout my life, I have run into cycles and patterns of energy that resurface. These cycles have led me to meet so many of you beautiful people during them and outside of them. Many people I have met, through conversation and social experience, have inspired this writing. You, my friend on earth, are with me here, as well as “up there” changing the weight on the balances of the Universe’s structure to more suit all of our needs. For this, I thank you in manifesting this transmission.

Principles of Biocentrism:

 

1. “What we perceive as reality is a process that involves our consciousness.”

 

2. “Our external and internal perceptions are inextricably intertwined. They are different sides of the same coin and cannot be separated.” 

 

3. “The behavior of subatomic particles—indeed all particles and objects—is inextricably linked to the presence of an observer. Without the presence of a conscious observer, they at best exist in an undetermined state of probability waves.” 

 

4. “Without consciousness, ‘matter’ dwells in an undetermined state of probability. Any universe that could have preceded consciousness only existed in a probability state.”

 

5. “The very structure of the universe is explainable only through biocentrism. The universe is fine-tuned for life, which makes perfect sense as life creates the universe, not the other way around. The universe is simply the complete spatio-temporal logic of the self.”

 

6. "Time does not have a real existence outside of animal-sense perception. It is the process by which we perceive changes in the universe."

 

7. “Space, like time, is not an object or a thing. Space is another form of our animal under-

standing and does not have an independent reality. We carry space and time around with us like turtles with shells. Thus, there is no absolute self-existing matrix in which physical events occur independent of life.”
