You don't. Let it find you. In time it will, but it requires patience. "This above all, too thine own self be true."

The nonsense lies in the Determinist religion that denies the creative human mind.

The explanation Is that is the mind. It is irreducible and fundamental to life. No faith involved. It is everyone's experience of choosing and creatin...

Unfortunately there is no such thing, no more than the proofs of God offered by religions. Determinism is a philosophical concept not a scientific one...

The mind that chooses and creates. There is no faith involved. It is what everyone experiences as life. It is the denial of such, for whatever reason ...

"Some way"??! The deterministic trick of transforming "influenced" into "determined" with zero evidence of such other than the determinists' own faith...

Correct. There is nothing in common because the Whole is inseparable. Matter is decaying while life moves in the opposite direction of self-organizati...

The total nature of life has changed into dead. The Whole has changed. It is inseparable in its holistic nature. A dead body no longer needs feeding.

Much if what you wrote is similar to what Bergson wrote at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century and later picked up somewhat ...

Can you tell the difference between something that is living and something that which is not? If so, count yourself as being a keen observer, because ...

You are asking how does quanta turn into an electron? My best guess is that mind creates a vibrational field that it senses. The greater the vibration...

Now let me see. How about quanta? Or maybe mind makes quanta? Take your pick. It's all the same. And if you want to get nasty, I'll just stop answerin...

Yes, one is self-organizing and creating, and the other is dead apart from a small decaying factor. They are moving in different directions. For those...

Time is definitely not an illusion (whatever that term may mean). It is quite real and it is the internal experience of memory pressing from where it ...

Yep, mind it's fundamental. Once that is understood, life makes sense again.

The mind is exactly what everyone experiences as themselves. Close your eyes and ruminate on who you are? You are this this memory and creative force ...

Everyone should just read and ruminate over their own posts. X's mind decides for some reason. It is the mind that is deciding for its own reasons. Wh...

There is zero evidence that such a model can be created it that such a model would yield the results you are suggesting. Where is there any evidence t...

You continue to create equivalence between something that may influenceand with something that determines. There are innumerable influences on every d...

Each of us know as much as we have experienced. As a population, we probably know more than we did a few hundred years ago (knowledge is gained and lo...

I do it all the time. That is what I got paid for when I was a consultant. Past experiences (memory) ? Creativity and Influence ? Determine. An exampl...

Bergson was solely interested in understanding the fundamental nature of life and how such an understanding may affect the way one lives a life. He ba...

My recommendation is to experience life and not try to learn about it from studying other people's lives. Some way to do this is to find sports, arts,...

Yes, I agree. Thanks.

Actually not. The propose it's very simple: to create computer algorithms that can scan and find quickly. In no way does it mimic.

Okay Rich - so you agree the mind/brain is comprised of the same physical substance as everything else and part of the same structure. So I come back ...

Bohm does not use the concept of a pilot wave. This concept is ancient as far as Bohm's interpretation is concerned. It is the quantum potential that ...

I think it is going a little overboard to credit freedom of speech to liberalism. Let's just say the rising merchant class didn't want to be under the...

Bohm realized there are initial causes (e.g. the mind) but the results were probabilistic not determined. On only had to look at the equations to unde...

No, it is a continuum from the least substantial to the more substantial in the same way that quantum -> electron -> atom -> molecule creates a contin...

It is as physical as quantum/photons and it is generates motion as a process in exactly, precisely in the same manner. As Bohm suggested, it is embedd...

[ Every interpretation uses the Schrodinger equation or equivalent (Bohmian is equivalent). They all would necessarily predict the same results. Bohmi...

Unfortunately, most of America has been hollowed out. People are surviving on more and more debt and it is getting worse. First Trump. What's next? Ch...

I watched the parts of the videos. There is nothing new in them. He is just proposing that photons should be considered real and that is what Bohm mec...

Thanks I'll check them out when I have called chance, but they is nothing Occam about infinite worlds meta-world. And even if one was taken by such a ...

I remember speaking to a young woman who told me that thanks to Obama she was able to move into the middle class. She had $155,000 in debt, a job that...

Learning new skills and learning in general makes life full and wondrous. If you are ever so inclined try out ruminating, it is the first step into ph...

Understanding life has nothing to do with logic. Logic is a parlor game to occupy the creative mind, no different than any other game. What I am sugge...

Ruminate.

Not really, but I love the way your mind denies itself and then glorifies itself for its victory. Kind of contortionist, but that is what creativity i...

Congratulations, you now recognize your mind at work.

The creative mind. We are creative. That is how we evolve. It is fundamentally who we are - creative. If you are looking for the fundamental beginning...

Brain or mind? How does a brain morph into a mind? No matter to me. So your brain is making choices. Fine. If there are choices, it's not determined a...

And, might I add, the fundamental mechanism for creating concentration of wealth are the central banks which were designed by bankers and controlled b...

Exactly who do you think it's making choices for you?

It is exactly, precisely, without and additions or substractions, the way we experience it in every day life. There is no supernatural God or supernat...

Read Bergson. His inquiry into free will (choices) is entirely independent of morality and for him fundamental.

Finally a scientist who actually studied Bohmian Mechanics and Bell's Inequality. For me, it's a relief. I'm booking this for the next time someone co...

What would happen is exactly what would happen if someone dies in their sleep.

I don't recognize any issues. Memory evolves and this is what we feel as the internal flow of duration (real time). Choices and learning from these ch...
