The negative and positive limitations inherent in the Individual's creation of experience

Body: 

All experience is the product of a relation in which the Individual that apprehends the relation must themselves be involved. The necessity of the Individual's involvement in some relation in order to create whatever they apprehend as experience imposes certain limitations upon what it is possible for an Individual to create as experience in any one moment according to the relations in which that Individual must already be involved in order to create what they are already, in that moment, apprehending as experience.

The limitations upon what an Individual can create as experience in any one moment is limited by the relations in which that Individual can become involved in a given moment, and the relations in which an Individual can become involved in a given moment are limited by the relations in which that Individual is, in that same moment, already involved. The relations in which an Individual is already involved limit the relations in which an Individual can become involved in that same moment in both a negative and positive way, in a way that is both negatively and positively restrictive.

The relations in which an Individual is already involved limit the relations in which an Individual can become involved in that same moment in a negative way because it is not possible for an Individual to be simultaneously involved in opposite or mutually exclusive relations. Thus, if an Individual is involved in a relation with an Underlying Actuality in a way that creates a particular experience, then it is not possible for that Individual, in that same moment, to be involved in a relation with that Underlying Actuality in a way that creates the opposite experience, since opposite experiences are always the product of opposite and so mutually exclusive relations. Thus, the negative experiential limitation limits experience by making it impossible for an Individual to simultaneously be involved in the mutually exclusive relations necessary to create opposite experiences, and therefore limits the Individual to creating and apprehending, in any moment, only one or the other of any experiential duality or complementarity, or some portion of both, such as wave and particle, or position and momentum. Thus, the phenomena of w-p duality and quantum uncertainty do not have a material cause, but have an Existential cause, and are purely functions of the way experience is created as the product of some relation of Consciousness-Existence to Itself.

This same negative experiential restriction operates at all levels of experience, not just at the quantum level, although so immersed are we in experience that we take its operation in the creation of everyday experience for granted and do not recognize its operation at those levels, the same way it is not recognized even at the quantum level for what it is, i.e., a limitation upon what it is possible for an Individual to create and apprehended in any one moment as experience. Scientists, ensconced as they are in a material framework, and so in a framework of material causation, continue to try and explain this negative restriction as the product of some sort of material mechanical effect, when it has as its basis the very way in which experience is created. This negative experiential limitation is responsible for most if not all interpersonal conflict, i.e., the inability of each person to see the others side, and it is responsible for why for everything you know there is something else you can't know. It is responsible for the creation of an experiential blind spot consisting of whatever experiences are the opposite of those you are already experiencing.

However, there is also a positive experiential limitation, a limitation that limits the creation of experience in a positive way according to the relations in which an Individual is already involved in order to create what they are already, in that moment, apprehending as experience. The relations in which an Individual is already involved limit the relations in which an Individual can become involved in that same moment in a positive way because any relation in which an Individual becomes involved must be mutually inclusive of the relations in which that Individual is already, in that moment, involved. That is, because the relations in which an Individual can become involved in any one moment cannot be mutually exclusive of relations in which they are already involved, the relations in which they can become involved must then be the opposite of mutually exclusive relations, and therefore must be mutually inclusive of relations in which they are already, in that same moment, involved.

Whereas the negative experiential limitation dictates what an Individual cannot know according to what they already know, the positive experiential limitation dictates what an Individual must know according to what they already know. Whereas the negative experiential limitation dictates the relations in which an Individual cannot be involved according to relations in which they are already involved, the positive experiential limitation dictates the way in which an Individual must be in relation according to relations in which they are already involved. And since all experience is created as the product of a particular relation in which the Individual that is apprehending the experience must themselves be involved, the negative experiential limitation, in dictating the relations in which an Individual cannot be involved according to relations in which they are already involved, dictates what it is not possible for an Individual to create and apprehend as experience according to the relations in which they are already, in that moment, involved in order to create what they are, in that moment, already apprehending as experience.

And since all experience is created as the product of a particular relation in which the Individual that is apprehending the experience must themselves be involved, the positive experiential limitation, in dictating the relations in which an Individual must be involved according to relations in which they are already involved, dictates how an Individual must create and apprehend experience according to the relations in which they are already, in that moment, involved in order to create what they are, in that moment, already apprehending as experience. It is this positive experiential limitation, which is the corollary of the negative experiential limitation, that is responsible for the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. That is, it is this positive experiential limitation that dictates how the other aspect of a quantum system will be apprehended as an experience according to the relation already established with one aspect of the quantum system, because the relation established with one aspect of a quantum system, which then creates an experience, limits in a positive way the relation the Individual can establish in that same moment with the other aspect of the quantum system, because those relations must be mutually inclusive of each other, as they cannot be mutually exclusive. This is the basis of what Einstein referred to as "spooky action at a distance." It is not the result of any mechanical cause, but is an Existential cause creating an experiential effect. That is, it is a result not of any material cause and effect, but is a result of the way experience is always created as the product of some relation of What's Actually There to Itself, and of the limitations that arise unavoidably from the necessity of the Individuals involvement in a relation in order to create what they apprehend as experience, and the way their involvement in other relations limits in both a negative and positive way, through the unavoidable preclusion of mutually exclusive relations, and the unavoidable inclusion of mutually inclusive relations, that Individuals in the moment or simultaneous involvement in other relations and so the experiences that any Individual can create and apprehend in any one moment.

There is nothing that says that if you becomes involved in a relation with one aspect of a quantum system and creates an experience as a result that you also have to be in relation to some other aspect of that quantum system and create experience as a result. But if you are involved in a relation with one aspect of a quantum system and then become involved with another aspect of that quantum system, then the positive experiential limitation dictates that the second relation must be mutually inclusive of the first, and so the second experience created will be one that is created as the product of relation that is mutually inclusive of the first relation.

As Individuals we are not limited to creating one experience at a time as we are not limited to being involved in one relation at a time. We are, in any moment, involved in countless relations and creating countless experiences. However, although we can be involved in more than one relation at a time, we cannot be involved in mutually exclusive relations at the same time, e.g., we cannot face North and South at the same time, because if we are in one relation then we are, by definition, not in the other mutually exclusive relation.

And so it is that while facing North we cannot see what lies South. But while facing North we can see many different things owing to our involvement in many mutually inclusive relations, i.e. relations that are inclusive of the more fundamental relation of facing North. But we can't see things that would require our involvement in the mutually exclusive relation, i.e., we can't see things that would require that we face South. Thus, if to experience something we would have to face South, we are precluding from becoming involved in that relation as long as we remain involved in the relation in which we are facing North. That is a negative limitation, and that is the experiential preclusion that makes it impossible for an Individual to simultaneously create and apprehend experiences that would require that Individual's simultaneous involvement in mutually exclusive relations.

And this negative limitation can be very subtle in its limiting effect, and yet without mercy in the absoluteness of the limitation it imposes. For instance, if while facing North you see something that is very beautiful and you don't want to stop seeing it, in order to remain involved in that particular relation that creates that particular experience, you not only have to remain involved in the relation that creates that particular experience, but you also have to remain involved in the more fundamental or proximal relation that makes that particular and mutually inclusive relation possible, which is the relation in which you are facing North.

But now let us say that while you continue to create the experience of the beautiful object you would like to see what lies to the South as well. But you can't. You can't see what lies to the South because you can't look South because that would require you to be in a relation that is mutually exclusive of the relation in which you must be involved in order to see the beautiful object, in order to continue to create and apprehend that experience, because creating the experience of the beautiful object, being in the relation in which you create the experience of the beautiful object, also requires you to be facing North, and so requires you to be in a relation that is mutually exclusive of the relation that is facing South.

But the subtle part of the limitation is as follows: you don't understand that being in the one relation requires you also be in the other more fundamental mutually inclusive relation. We take the more fundamental relation for granted, but the more fundamental relation is just as essential to the creation of the experience of the beautiful object as is the particular relation that creates that particular experience, because in the absence of the more fundamental relation there could be no more distal mutually inclusive particular relation creating the particular experience of the beautiful object.

In terms of the creation of visual experience we understand these relations and their limitations, but in terms of the creation of conceptual experience we do not understand these limitations because we do not understand all the more proximal levels of relation necessary to create a particular concept. That is, we can easily understand why we cannot see something that lies to the South while refusing to stop looking at something that lies to the North. But we do not understand that this same limitation applies to the creation of all experience, at every level, which includes mental-conceptual experience. Thus we do not understand why we cannot understand or comprehend a particular concept owing to the fact that we are in essence refusing to stop creating and apprehending some concept that requires our involvement in a mutually exclusive relation.

Everything you know, every thing you believe, everything you conceive, involves you being in a relation that is the equivalent of looking North or South, meaning that it involves your participation in a relation that makes impossible your simultaneous involvement in any mutually exclusive relation, that makes impossible your simultaneous involvement in any relation requires you to be in a relation that is mutually exclusive of any and all of the relations in which you must be involved in order to create what you are, in that moment, apprehending as the particular concept or belief or knowledge. That is the negative experiential limitation, that is the experiential preclusion, and that is what creates an experiential blind spot consisting of whatever experiences are the opposite of those you are presently creating and apprehending.

Likewise, everything you know, every thing you believe, everything you conceive, involves you being in a relation that is the equivalent of looking North or South, meaning that it involves your participation in a relation that limits you to being involved in relations that are mutually inclusive of any and all of the relations in which you must be involved in order to create what you are, in that moment, apprehending as the particular concept or belief or knowledge. That is the positive experiential limitation, that is experiential entanglement, and that is what limits our creation of experience to creating only those experiences that require our involvement in relations that are mutually inclusive of those in which we are already involved. Thus, when one aspect of a quantum system is seen or experienced as being in a certain spin state, the way the other will be experienced, i.e., what is experienced as the spin state of the other, is then determined by the positive experiential limitation that dictates that the way the other aspect is experienced must be a product of a relation that is mutually inclusive of the relation that created the experience-spin state of the one aspect.

Thus, the reason creating one experience instantaneously determines how the other is created is because the particular relation that creates the particular experience of one spin state limits the particular relation that creates the particular experience of the other spin state to being one that is mutually inclusive of the particular relation that created the particular experience of the one spin state. Put another way, the reason creating one experience instantaneously determines how the other is created is because the particular relation that creates the particular experience of one spin state determines, through positive experiential limitation, i.e., through experiential entanglement, the particular relation though which it is possible to create the experience of the others spin state, because those two relations that create those two different and yet related experiences must be mutually inclusive of each other. And they must be mutually inclusive of each other because they involve an Individuals simultaneous relation to what is a single quantum system, or a singular Underlying Actuality. Thus, being in a particular relation to the quantum system and creating a particular experience means any other simultaneous relations to that same quantum system by the same Individual that create any other experience must be relations that are mutually inclusive of the particular relation.

Let us consider this positive experiential limitation in the context of facing North. Facing North involves a relation to the quantum system we can call Earth. Being in that relation causes one to create the experience of seeing what lies North. While in that relation with the earth any other relations, i.e., anything else that is seen, must occur within the context of a relation that is mutually inclusive of that relation, i.e., must be a relation that has as its basis the relation of facing North. Thus, the mutually inclusive nature of the relations that must be used to create simultaneous experiences involving the same quantum system, or the same Underlying Actuality, cause an experiential entanglement between those experiences, in which there is a consistent relation observed between the apprehended experiences owing to the mutually inclusive and so entangled nature of the relations that an Individual must use to create those experiences.

The experiential limitations limit the individuals involvement in relations, but it is the relations in which the Individual is involved that create what the Individual apprehends as experience. Thus, the limitations in limiting relations limit the creation of experience, both negatively and positively, according to what relations are not possible and according to what relations are only possible.

Whereas the one limitation creates an experiential blind spot consisting of the experiences that are the opposite of those we are presently experiencing, the other fills in that blind spot with experiences that are mutually inclusive of those we are presently experiencing. Thus, when we conceive that the world is flat we don't know that in that moment we cannot possibly conceive of the world as being round, we don't know that the negative experiential limitation is operating, because the positive experiential limitation is also operating, allowing us to create the experience of the earth as being not round, which mutually inclusive experience fills in the blind spot, giving us the illusion that we are seeing both sides of the issue, when we can really only ever see one at a time.

That is, we don't realize that our inability to conceive of something has nothing to do with the actual nature of things, but has only to do with the relations in which we can and cannot become involved owing to relations in which we are already involved as we create what we are already apprehending as experience, limited both negatively and positively according to what we are already conceiving and believing to be reality.

And the creation of experimental results is ultimately nothing more than the Individual's creation of experience and so involves and invokes the same limitations inherent in the creation of any experience.
