Blogged: Non-Physical Properties of the Mind? Qualia #1: Introduction


The realm of intention  ~ and with it choice ~ stands outside and above the material realm. 

From the realm of consciousness, we get ideas, ideals, and imaginative drawings, archetypes and geometrical shapes.
 
Geometric shapes stand outside and above the above realm of the physical. Geometry is derived directly from the realm of consciousness. From consciousness we became aware of ideals and shapes. Geometry is the ideal from which lesser or lower forms are manifested. The less perfect physical manifestation is derived from the ideal geometric archetype.

Lines, curves, regular and irregular shapes belong to the realm of ideal shapes. Archetypes are mental geometrical constructs. Archetypes belong to the realm of ideas and they are independently of physical manifestation. Archetypes stand above the realm of physical manifestation.


One way to view the cosmic realms is to make use of the idea of shadow puppetry. In shadow puppetry, the puppets belong to  the realm of archetypes (ideas, ideals, planning) and the shadows belong to the realm of manifestation. 

Equivalently, in the GIF picture above, the manifestation shown on the left whereas the archetype is shown on the right. The geometrical ideal on the right manifests itself as harmonic motion on the left. Harmonic motion occurs in the physical manifestation as movement of the planets, stars, galaxies, and constellations of galaxies, the movement of clocks, and engine piston movement, as shown below.
