The standard
IQ
scale as we know and use it is clearly
anthropocentric. It can be a useful descriptor for the
functionality of an every day consciousness. But it is
once again a limited - anthropocentric - description. In
keeping with the Temporal Aperture model let's consider
expanding the "IQ" scale to represent a more
complete reality as in a simplified diagram.
(Note: the lower graph is an illustrative
simplification. In reality this "graph" would be an
inconceivable polydimensional volume)
In the same way that "genius" possesses all of
the facilities of the "idiot" and much more, the
"Infinite" mind of the ultra-chart above includes
the "idiot" and "genius" facilities and
far more. In fact the Infinite Entity on the far left would be
a Deity encompassing all dimensions, all events, all history,
everything that ever was, is, and ever will be. Since
that Infinite Entity is Absolutely Totally Inclusive, it
comprises all things and events - and their exact
opposites. This is how we might model a God. Such an
Entity would be everywhere present but impossible to detect
since all of its Infinite energies and structures are forever
in a Perfect Balance. So after all the many human millennia,
we may boast of finally making a reasonable description of a
God.
Important here is the reminder that the
ultra-inclusive scale is a continuum - that's the essence of
the discussion. In other words there are endless
indescribable - in words at least - node entities along the
line whose temporal aperture surrounds are less inclusive than
that of the Infinite Entity. By mere mortal standards,
these temporal aperture consciousnesses are extremely
inclusive. But they are not completely inclusive, and
therefore are not in a Perfect Balance. In a technical
analogy, we would say that their incomplete structures mean
that some facets are not perfectly balanced, and this will
produce offsets. It is proposed that the totality of
the physical Universe as we best know and enjoy it is nothing
more than an immense dynamic spray of offsets existing in
large but incomplete temporal apertures way outside of the
human experience. We cannot be directly aware of these
polydimensional nodes, but only of the offset differences they
create. It is these offsets that we detect and claim to be our
reality.
This is a necessarily a broad picture that will always be
incomplete, at least in terms of ordinary human intellect.
Words and everyday intellect, no matter how erudite and
sophisticated, cannot adequately produce descriptions here.
But this certainly does not mean that these ultra-human
temporal aperture nodes do not exist merely because we are too
limited to able to describe them. When a human watches a
fly buzz around, the fly has no notion of its human observer.
On our continuum above, we understand that higher
consciousness nodes, i.e., entities with super-human temporal
apertures, could readily observe or interact with humans in an
analogous fashion, and no human would be the wiser - except
for the Open Mystic reader who now is aware of this likely
possibility. It's disgustingly anthropocentric to deny
these notions.
Note that it is necessary for the totality of human
civilizations over time to grow a critical mass of diverse
intellectual understanding to finally propose a generally reasonable
description of a God. The entire human game may be over when everyone
has this understanding.
