The problem for stems from the unreal, namely the perceptual judgments of truth and falsity. By nature, every species has its physical and sensory limitations. The mind has to interpret what it is able to sense, and act on that information. Unfortunately the information is far from complete, so the mind must fill the gaps of physical sensation. To do this the mind draws from memories of previous sensations, experiences and understanding. The typical list of senses includes sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. To these five physical senses, we can attributed a sixth: mind. Naturally, with six senses there are six perceptions. Perception is the unreal part, the workings of mind. Though the senses are necessarily limited, this is not the largest problem we have with them. The largest problem we have with the senses is the amount of attention paid to the information received. Even though the mind has to fill in gaps, it also neglects the vast majority of information provided to it. Most information goes into the subconscious and never enters conscious thought. The difference between conscious and unconscious is not a difference that can be mapped on a picture of the brain. Neurons literally take turns participating as either. Neurons that are merely transmitters of information, including those that regulate bodily functions, is not part of this process. As with other cells of the body, they justifiably cannot be categorized as conscious or subconscious. They are purely functional; obeying the direction or reacting to the choices of neurons that do participate. We should detour temporarily into the workings of the nervous system so we can get a firm grasp of conscious and subconscious. The nervous system is highly fascinating. Unlike any other cells constituting the body, neurons are completely independent. They have their own circulatory systems, they digest, they think, they remember, they grow and they even kill each other. We are born with one set of neurons, and the neurons we die with were all there when we were born. No one knows exactly how long a neuron can live. There is no ideal body that can outlive the neurons; not including those circumstances where neurons die of "unnatural" causes (unnatural being anything other than their own old age). Old age is a function of decay, to which neurons are extremely adept so long as they have the nutrients and stimuli to combat it. Each neuron is an independent entity; limited only to the contacts its axons and dendrites make. In essence, we can view the nervous system as a large pure democracy. Just as in a real democracy, though everyone can vote, typically only those involved with or affected by the subject will vote. Also, as in a real democracy, some votes carry greater weight than others do (here we are distinguishing from the ideal democracy). In reality, a democracy (applied to a nation, not a convenient population) is always regulated by a sample of the population (less than the whole). Most often, democracies are regulated by pluralities. Plurality is a business term applied to stock voting, but is also applied in politics. When several options are provided in a vote, there may be no individual item that receives a majority. There may, however, be a single item that receives more affirmation than the others may, and is hence adopted. This would be called adoption through a plurality vote. To have a plurality means to have the control. We can say, by these terms, that we consciously function on pluralities, though we may also perceive the perspectives of less representative neurons. As in a real democracy, it is not difficult for the agreement of the plurality to be reached and led through conclusion without the input of the majority. This is the nature of conscious perception, a sort of bureaucracy filled both with adequacies and inadequacies. Both of which form the basis of belief, and hence the judgments of truth and falsity being entirely distinct from and applied to reality, not to mention also distinct from, applied to and also integral of unreality (fantasy). A more descriptive account of meditation, its processes and methods. For our purposes here, however, we must address certain qualities in meditation leading close to transcendental apperception (namely the focus all neural information). No matter how great the meditation, complete transcendental apperception will never be attained. The form of meditation that comes closest is called meditation without object. Ironically, this form of meditation is focussing on "no-thing," not even to include the concept of no-thing itself. It is pure emptiness. How can pure emptiness bring us closer to transcendental apperception and transcendental reality? Not only does it bring us closer here, it actually brings us closer to apperceiving an antithesis of transcendental metaphysical reality, which is required for TMR to fill. Confused? Although it is true that TMR has no presentable antithesis, it is the totality of everything, hence a logical antithesis is the lack thereof. When we consider the lack of totality, the consideration is part of that totality. Meditation without object, however, is not a consideration; it is becoming the antithesis of TMR. As with a null-hypothesis being testable, it is through the antithesis we can observe the thesis. To think about the antithesis of TMR is to cloud the mind with fantasy about TMR, thus blocking transcendental apperception with perception of mind and belief. alan The Nature of Perception:

The use of solar or mirrors located in near earth orbit beam radiant energy by 2070C.E. 3) China will overtake the U.S.A as the leading world superpower by 2100 .C.E. India will become the third world superpower by 2060 C.E. 4) The sham of Democracy in Egypt overthrown and fanatical rule takes place in other Arab countries and Arab kingdoms are overthrown, there is going to be murder of some high official in that land 5) Massive efforts made to develop alternate forms of energy, hydro, wind, hydrogen, nuclear fusion, solar etc met with some reasonable success by 2100 C.E. 6) The information age takes control of the world and every person on earth added onto a colossal computer database. Freedom of privacy is no longer true (Identity and information imbedded chip). 7) The population of China will reach two billion and India overtakes it by a half billion by 2100 C.E. Nearly everyone on earth at that time will have a Chinese or Indian neighbor or near neighbors. These two nations alone shall consist of 4.5 billion or nearly two thirds of humanity by then 8) Pollution of the oceans, rivers, and atmosphere will result in the death of millions especially in China and India. Rape of and destruction of the earths finite resources shall continue uncontrolled deep into the 2100 century 9) A leader from Russia or China will to become a U.N. leader 10) Much of the rain forest, left, will begin to dry out, due to global warming, and massive previously unheard of rain forest fires burn all over the tropics 11) A scientific discovery to alter DNA and create a biological virus that will be used in the manufacture of computer chips Stem cell research brings healing to millions. What was previously thought to be redundant strands of D.N.A. are found to be of vital important to the understanding of the code of life. 12) Moral degeneration and depravity shall increase, with massive increase in child pornography. People of high moral values, in horror separating further and further from this evil. 13) Families units splitting up rampant divorce statistics and governments are breaking apart. Single parenting becomes more common than ever by 2040 C.E. 14) The computer information revolution will accelerate beyond imagination and development of the quantum computer shall enable man- kind to unravel much more of the mysteries of existence. 15) New radical exclusive religions will arise like locusts. 16) Wars will continue to spread from the Eastern Hemisphere to the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Russia and China due to the unrelenting rise in radical Islam. Peace will not come to the Israel Palestinian crises. 17) The major threats to global peace will come from China and the nation of Islam, which will be preparing for global war’s 18) The U.S. government might collapse because a staggering national debt will cause it to fail to meet its financial obligations. 19) Insurance and banking institutions collapse due to the knock-on affect of natural disasters all over the world 20) Much of the world thrown into political, economic, and social chaos. 21) Radical Islam continues to rise causing a resonating reaction by radical Christianity and subsequent terrorist activities all over the globe 22) A major back and forth shifts of the earth's magnetic poles will result glorious northern and southern lights and devastating and drastic changes the world weather patterns. 23) America will lose much of its ability to defend itself, leaving the country more vulnerable. The wars with terrorism will not get better but escalating under the uncontrollable impossible unconventional terrorism. 24) The political stage of earth will drastically change because of turmoil, wars plagues, famine, starvation and death becomes an awful reality to countless millions. 25) A female President will be elected in the U.S.A. An African American President might is also be elected as a leader of America. 26) U .S.A. government will be financially strained due to the unrelenting war against radical Islam 27) A volcano will explode which will result in the cooling of the earth temperature by 10 degrees Celsius, for over two years 28) People will kill over food and water deadly famine and plagues will ravage much of Africa and Asia. Wars will for the first time be specifically over drinking water 29) Home entertainment with wall-to-wall-painted on T.V. screens, mind- machine interaction a reality by 2060.Vertual reality will become the obsession of millions. Holographic home T.V Reality by 2050 C.E. Kids escape into this virtual world and lose touch with nature. 30) Discontent, the meaning of life lost, will be on the increase and people will turn more and more to anti-depressants and tranquilizers consumed to help people cope with escalating plague of depression and other mental illnesses 31) There will be a 100-year period from 200 to 2100 where knowledge will be greatly accelerated on earth due to the information age. The interne will grow to the extent, beyond the wildest dreams of those reading these predictions. 32) Great earth changes will occur: earthquakes, floods, tidal waves, great winds. The earth will rage with agony. She is our beloved mother and we are hurting her badly. 33) Islands in the oceans of the earth shall sink beneath the waters or be will be inundated by the rising ocean. 34) There will be days of darkness due to natural earth disasters from smog and smoke from volcanoes that will block the sun. 35) Humanity will continue a mindless orgy of consumption that if not controlled in time could lead to the end of humanity. 36) There will be tremendous economic and moral upheavals in the world because of humanity's general ignorance of true reality of crime, corruption and decadence that rule the earth. 37) Humanities attempt to meddle with the fundamental laws of the universe, and because of this, many will be hurt 38) The cancers of arrogance, materialism, racism, chauvinism, and separatist thinking are consuming humanity will darken the human mind. Nevertheless, there will in response, be a huge uprising of moral absolutes in an endeavor to obey Gods holy commandments. 39) Much of humanity will too late will turn to providence. (God) and die in ignorant depravity. 40) Countless millions will abandon moral absolutes but many will more and more read and try to obey Gods ten commandments. 41) Terrifying advances in the fields of genetics, science, robotics, man/machine physics, medicine and astronomy and most important the information computer revolution. Humanity is too immature to control this awful knowledge. 42) Cloning of human beings will become a reality and will result in awful mutations. Stem cell research will advance bring relief to spinal cord damage victims, Parkinson, Alzheimer’s, and other genetic and non-genetic diseases 43) The cancers of arrogance, materialism, racism, chauvinism, and separatist thinking will consume much of humanity, but not all who will turn more and more to the Divine for answers 44) Much of humanity will become much more hedonistic, and, in the end, will turn to providence (God).Children will too soon become adults and lose their innocence. 45) The world will become one interconnected small infinitesimal village of information. There will be discussions by a host of nations to establish a united nations of earth with a one world parliament and leader. 50) People from different nations, different religions, with different weapons, will continue to war and kill each other, which will result in millions dying. 51) The depraved become more depraved and the righteous more righteous 52) Cure for aids by using an enemy virus of the aids virus to attack it in the human immune cell and a method made for the body to recognize the anti-virus/ virus to make anti-bodies and destroy it in the process. 53) Millions will die of a new viral plague, before an anti-viral drug similar to the anti-biotic penicillin is developed. Similar to the Spanish flu of the 1920’s. 54) Volcanoes erupt somewhere. 55) There will be earthquakes in diverse places, causing unimaginable havoc. China Hyhehot/ 56) There will come a time when natural disasters will happen all at once. It will come at the same time of humanity's greatest sin blasphemy. They will say God is dead. 57) Marvelous advances in medical science will be made. New understanding of fundamental laws of nature shall be uncovered. 58) A huge earthquake of magnitude 10 causing the death of millions. Near China or India. 59) Thousands of people will migrate from areas of frequent disasters to places of safety. 60) Space missions will be carried out by several nations .America, China, Russia, Japan, India, France etc. Space colony established on the moon by 2100 C.E. 61) Eruptions on the sun will interfere with the earth - more than it ever has. Communications channels disastrously blocked out for long periods. 62) A large mass from space (asteroid) will pass very close to the earth and cause a minor alteration in its inclination to the sun. A very near miss indeed! 63) The oceans will rise, as a result of global warming caused by the melting of the polar ice caps 64) There will be an accident on the space station. 65) Anew very bright comet shall blaze in the night sky. 66) Robotics will release much of man from manual labor and pleasure will be the addiction of much of the future. 67) The eternal war between the forces of darkness and the light on the earth grow so intense that if humans do not continually seek the light God, all will be lost. This is an eternal universal law fought throughout the universe. 68) Great new earth leader will arise promising the coming of paradise to all that follow him; he is, however not good, He is evil! He will rule for seven years. 69) Disturbances in weather patterns and food supplies get worse and worse, the earth will begin to rage in despair. 70) There is going to be a collapse of the world economic system, worse that that of the great depression. 71) Nuclear war averted, somehow. 72) Dramatic climate changes, droughts, critical world food shortages and famine, get more and more severe by the day, mother earth will rage with deep anger. Deadly starvation is the norm most of the worlds poorest peoples. 73) By the next ten thousand years, humanity will have evolved enough to migrate and populate the universe. 12 000 C.A. (the very far future). 74) Technological advances beyond the imagination of anyone living in 2000 will become a reality by 2100 C.A. 75) There are going to be such serious food shortages around the world due to droughts in many places. This will push the price of food up so high that poor people will starve and turn to chaotic terrible rampant violence crime and plunder in order to feed themselves. The streets will be chaotic with mad plunderers. 76) Freak storms and undersea earthquakes that will cause tidal waves or flooding to happen because of unnaturally heavy rainfalls and flash floods, the weather will become insane. 77) Advancements in the treatment of all types of cancers will be made and the average life span of humanity increased to a 150 years by 3000 C.A. 78) The large gap in the quality of life between the rich and the poor shall get larger and larger. 80) Desert in Africa, Asia, Australia and elsewhere will advance both southwards and eastwards consuming much precious arable land. Soul erosion shall become a critical problem. 81) More and more people will seek a meaning in life, and turn to new age, spiritual and the esoteric for answers. 82) The gulf steam will alter its course and plunge Europe into a new ice age. The earth will get hotter, hotter in some places, colder, and colder in other places. 83) People will rush back and forth and information and knowledge shall increase vastly. (From the book of Daniel). this is happening now e.g. internet, vehicle traffic, air travel etc. 84) The collapse of the world economic system is possible in the next fifty years, but not absolute and can still be avoided. 85) Minor wars will continue to rage and the U.N. appears helpless to prevent them. 86) A signal from outer space from a remote part of our galaxy will be recorded on a radio telescope, causing much excitement and speculation. 87) The religious will be come more religious and the non-religious less religious. 88) The second coming of Christ will be a major topic. 89) Telepathic contact with alien civilization from another galaxy will be established and we will find out that in our galaxy we are the only advanced life form. 90) A great Being will take control with an iron fist and usher in a thousand year peace on earth and then the end of the age will come. He is the Divine essence of good. He will, by restricting humanities free-will eliminate the bad and the evil from the earth 91) He will prevent nuclear holocaust 92) There will be almost no technology in the very far future.
