Lanecove, sol,

I focussed on point 3 as you asked to do.

OK 4:

4 ( the normal state of conscious life ) - also 'in', but perhaps not all that
helpful

Dirk: Our senses are prominent in this state. Alpha and Beta brain-waves
are very active.
This is a state of alertness. It's base lays in 'old embedded' systems:
1. visual observation (is there danger? Is there food? Is there a partner?).
Visual information can not be filtered mentally.
2. auditive (is there extra information ...? Is there communication of the
group? ). The signification is here important. No resonant information has
no mental effect, no value. (i.e. a chinese women speaking to me ... if she
really smiles (visual) I will understand for sure).
Signification means values (and semantics), and convention (about the way
we interact). Thus brings cultural interpretations (cf.. tribes).
The other senses are less important here.

Attention and concentration. Before I spoke about priority of values. On the
normal state of conscious life the values are learned from the group or the
institutions. This is linked to 'supposed behavior', and infringements mean
repulsion or other systems of social control. So learning and the
'incorporation' of collective values is part of the educational process in the
local group (family, school, city, etc). These behavior-parameters will
shape our perception of the surrounding and values coupled to events. For
example the value of a ancient manuscript for the son of an antic collector
and the value for a street-fighter, or the daughter eating a hamburger
before the eyes of the macrobiotic parents. So the 'given values' will
determinate in an important way our focus or attention state. Most extreme
we see this in fundamental religions.
Thus we see that the individual (collective) evaluation system incorporates
(stores) a number of social values which will influence his perception of
reality. Socio-linguistic symbols become thus neuro-linguistic values.
Almost automatic evaluations.

Now in the membrane causality logic all type of different membrane layers
are acting CONTINUOUSLY at the same moment. So every information is
immediately accessible if the state of concentration is correct. As a
protection system our concentration is although limited in focus ... or we
would be instant completely mad. ;-)
In our daily experience we can observe moments of extreme concentration
but also effects like day-dreaming (suddenly out of focus). So we see that
the NOW-moment can give more importance (value) to deeper information
than to surrounding events. This is related to the interaction between the
membrane layers. We call that associations. A certain impulse (X) [i.e. a
sound, an image, a value, a knowledge activation ] which is probably also
a process of embedded alertness, activates a search inside the total system
for significance or somewhere stored information about X. In my approach
certain membranes - which are specialized in gathering information - will
look for oscillations identical of similar to X. Whatever layer. The oscillation
is important ... not it's location.
Since we are all connected also by the gravity-membrane we can access
even information that is non-local. (i.e. ESP, synchronicity, intuition).

In psychiatry we will see that problems like psychosis are over-
concentrated values which dominate behavior.

That's for now.

Dirk
