Reading about the discussions on co-consciousness, it sparked a reminder of some thoughts I've pondered about from time to time. I'm not even sure I can accurately describe them, but I will do my best. I suppose it might be philosophical or just "deep," where my brain can't fully wrap around it. Sort of like, how and why is it possible? Of course I mainly accept it just is what it is, but has anyone delved further into how in the heck it is possible that co-consciousness and blurring can happen? Sometimes we go there and it is just...hmmm.... no words can quite describe the feelings as I/we try to grasp ahold of the deeper hows and whys, etc. I guess I'm wondering on a scientific basis, spiritual basis, or well, from any sort of frame of reference. The mind and body are so intriguing.



I'm not even sure I'm expressing myself fully at what I'm trying to get at. I'm trying to conjure up a way to phrase things with specific questions or more explicit expressions of thoughts.

We have co-consciousness and blurring from time to time; It happens. But I wonder how it can be possible. It isn't that I disbelieve it, but it is like something happens and I experience it, but how and why is it the way it is? Are we sharing a body's brain space? In a way, too, it is as though we are our own individual minds and bodies, but we've been sort of squeezed next to one another or front/behind one another in this clothing and appearance of one body when we are fronting. Sort of like when 2 people step inside a large piece of clothing and walk around together and the appearance is as though it is one person, but yet it isn't. And of course it isn't limited to 2 people. But then I think well, what if we are sharing a body's brain space? So how is that happening? What is it like in the brain? And when blurring happens, it is really bizarre to think about the hows and whys. This is when the idea of sharing brain space seems more likely to be what is happening, but how does it happen? What are the mechanics behind it? Aacck! I'm trying to reach ahold of a concept and question that I don't feel I'm expressing with the right words and what I'm getting at. I suppose I am to some extent, but there feels like there is something else there that I'm reaching for to express or explain and it is just beyond my grasp. I so hate that.

Anyway, I've probably reiterated the same thing a bunch of different ways. Hopefully I've made a little bit of sense with what I'm trying to get at.

The mind seems to be an emergent property of the various electrical and chemical processes in the brain - no one knows even how singletons work yet. Let's consider a mind to be a pattern within the brain processes. If you've got more than one of them in any given brain, there'll likely be times when one or two are ascendant (most active, whatever), and times when the active patterns mesh so closely that it's difficult or impossible to separate one from the others.

Is that the sort of theory you were looking for?

We always thought of ourselves as sharing the brain just as we share the earth body. Blurring could be like adjacent channel interference on the AM radio. You're listening to one station and you start hearing another station in the backgroun, sometimes loud enough to drown the first station out. This is causded by either atmospheric conditions or the second station has boosted its signal for late night broadcasting. DX radio listeners know about this. (Stay up real late listening to AM radio, try to hear Chicago when you're in Lexington, that sort of thing)

Thank her for me, and tell her to keep listening!

We are KSOL, AM 1460.

Tell her she'll have to come to Laura -- or at least, the middle world, between Earth and Laura -- to hear KSOL. (or WMRC 1400, where I sometimes am on in the mornings).

We've worked at a couple of earth-world community stations. If she wants to know what those are like, she can listen to
http://129.79.21.137:9198/wfhb_live_hi.m3u WFHB or WDBX at http://wdbx.scientistsuperstar.com:8000/ which is very close to what we did. (or http://www.weft.org/ WEFT, but they have no audio stream).

HIN2, where Ekristheh works (it's actually 2EOH, Ni Ekrisi Oruoi Halathim) is kind of a cross between KPFA http://www.kpfa.org/ and CBC. HIN1 is really more like CBC.

She can also get a feel for what a lot of our regional radio transmissions are like by listening to shortwave.
