“Reality isn’t what it used to be!” says Tucson-based Sufi George (George Arthur Lareau) in his new book, Create Reality with Morphic Robots, A No-Nonsense Scientific Basis.
This latest and most fascinating book to appear on inner consciousness and creating our own reality is both scientific and metaphysical. And it is humorous and entertaining as well, a welcome relief for a difficult topic.
By coordinating several landmark scientific findings into an interrelated structure, Sufi George has produced an Awareness Theory of Consciousness and Material Reality, and a Dynamic Model of Consciousness that are made of scientific stuff—frequency waves. His update to common sense describes the generic human being as a conscious frequency wave processor, and shows how our experience can be managed or created directly at the level of frequency waves with “morphic robots.” A morphic robot is a mental creation that creates the experience it is designed to produce, primarily by managing synchronicity (surprising coincidences).
His use of science turns our perception of reality upside-down, but he says this is only a problem with common sense, and that it’s time we accept certain discoveries of science…regardless of the consequences! Discoveries like: there is no material universe until we pay attention to it; it’s all just frequency wave patterns out there; material reality happens within our consciousness and we have no way of directly contacting any supposed outside material reality.
A Sufi at heart but not by affiliation, Sufi George connects metaphysics and science more directly than other writers. He calls himself a new paradigm metaphysician and includes his explanation of mystical enlightenment in the book.
The book is a series of writings in various styles—sometimes a dialogue, or a theoretical essay, or a tabloid headliner. These are arranged comfortably enough, with several introductory writings followed by more detailed theory and description. Playfulness adds to the book’s mission of popularizing this new paradigm view of reality.
The book can succeed at upending one’s understanding of reality, but it may take a few readings for it to sink in. After that, it’s a wide-open adventure.
"Morphic Robots" and the creation of relevant reality
A book review by Kat Ballentine in King George Journal and
The Source
"Because we do not understand the brain very well we are
constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand
it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switch-board.
('What else could it be?') I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British
neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph
system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems.
Leibniz compared it to a mil l, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought
the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is
the digital computer. " -John Searle, noted philosopher (1986)
Researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence (or AI) and robotics frequently look at the human model as the only acceptable example of intelligence. In effect, they create the cliché of the brain studying the brain-and the contemplated limits of such study are amusing. As contemporary philosopher John Searle points out, trying to understand human intelligence by comparison to the algorithmic reality of a computer is just using another technological advance as a metaphor. It all seems rather circular and frustrating since the human brain created the computer. Such circular thinking also looks to be locked in the past.
An implicit foundation in much AI theory was that of Newell and Simon who established the hypothesis that humans use physical symbols to think, resulting in very explicit and uniform representations of the outside world with specific goals-a problem-oriented system and not probabilistic. However, research has demonstrated that humans do not construct a full model of the environment, but are selective and only choose what is immediately relevant. Seeing the world around you is like drinking from a firehose. The flood of information that enters the eyes could easily overwhelm the capacity of the visual system. To solve this problem, a mechanism we call "attention" allows selective processing of the information relevant to current goals. By that school of thought, each of us then creates our own reality by what our attention selects, and we all are essentially living in our privately constructed universes.
But what is this reality in our own private universe made of? We have rapidly moved past the physics of a mechanized universe of hard, indestructible particles. That mechanized objective universe is only an approximation of objective reality. Since Einstein, subatomic physicists have pioneered quantum physics and quantum mechanics, and the universal machine model has evolved into a connected field of cosmic process. We now know that although a wooden desk may be solid, the electrons that make up the atoms that make up the molecules that make up the elements, are no longer described as material. Particles exist when they are found in waves. The wave-like properties inhabit electrons, photons, neutrons and protons. So, the universe is looking a lot like waves, with particles when they can be found.
Recently, some scientists and philosophers are looking at what this world of quantum mechanics means for the definition of human consciousness.
In the newly published book "Create Reality with Morphic Robots," author George Arthur Larreau hypothesizes that it is our awareness (a kind of pre-attentive processing) that makes these wave patterns come alive through our attention. The wave fields have no life until they receive our attention and resonate with our awareness. Reality is what we experience as a result.
According to Larreau, our only access to reality is by experiencing reality in our awareness. Larreau writes that the human mind, which is similar to a data manager for our consciousness, is oriented to manage our experience within the illusion we have of reality. Larreau, an Arizona metaphysicist with a keen interest in physics, claims that one can be more efficient if one chooses the experience patterns and promotes their materialization. This is at the core of his book on creating what he calls morphic robots.
Those who practice directed meditation or deep prayer would quickly recognize familiar elements for materializing the possible with a mental robot. However, Larreau refers to his process as the construction of a morphic robot from the morphic frequency wave fields that make up everything that exists, according to theories postulated by British biologist Rupert Sheldrake. With the construction of your very own metaphorical morphic robot you can then mold your deliberate creation, changing or dismantling an experience pattern. No special equipment is needed!
Larreau views the resulting creation as less than human, hence the robot, and describes the creator as a "parent" of this experiential reality robot metaphor. According to Larreau, the robot has an idea of its purpose and process and can function independent of the creator's direction. I found myself thinking of those popular toys "Webkins," which children feed and care for on the Internet - only these morphic robotkins take care of you! Larreau credits his morphic robot, "Sufi George," with the actual authorship of the book, and the beginning of the book describes his process of writing the book with sidekick Sufi George.
It's all pretty far out, but the book has a good and entertaining discussion of consciousness theory and experience. It will make you question your normal reality, contemplate the nature of consciousness, and give you a few laughs. Ultimately, it is another view on paradigm shifts in the macrocosm and microcosm with a dose of self-improvement advice for chucking bad reality imposed on you, in favor of a new, improved reality of your own making with the help of your own mental robots. The book is, fittingly enough, available on Amazon.
