My new book "Save Your Souls"

The first half of this book studies clouds as examples of panpsychism, and explores the electromagnetics of biomatter. It carries a theoretical framework to understand the concept of “energy parasitism”, an important interdisciplinary model of reality that explains many mysteries of esoteric as well as popular interest… a framework that unifies biology, chemistry, and physics, but draws not just from the sciences but from varied sources, even, sometimes, mythology. J. R. R. Tolkien, for example, vaguely describes "Ainulindalë, the music of the Ainur", a concept also explored in Ian Curtis’s "Atmosphere" song video; the framework explains the dynamics between the EM field and biomatter, leading to no less than the concept of “soul”, whose explanations are not as plain as one may at first suppose.  Here you can find a scientific take on the phenomenon Tolkien called “the marring”. For those who have been following my work, this book is a step forward from my old research (see my neuroscience video on YouTube "How nonlinear thinking differs from linear thinking"), i.e., a theory of Norepinephrine and Dopamine’s roles – Dopamine’s role in quantitative consciousness (better known as awareness) and Norepi’s role in qualitative (or true) consciousness. The idea of reincarnation is studied, and a simple mechanism is suggested by which reality calculates how good your deal will be upon death and reincarnation. Albeit still very far, the closest literature to this concept is the Star Wars' idea of Midi-chlorians, "a microscopic life form that resides within all living cells" that "serve as the link between the Living Force within all life forms and the infinite Cosmic Force" and "make it possible to achieve immortality after death" or at the least, reincarnation ("When a life form died, midi-chlorians return to the heart of the galaxy. Thus, all is renewed"), This book defictionizes and clarifies some more aspects of this puzzle. The second half of this book covers the legacy of the war between the fallen angels and the demiurge, or Morgoth, who is named by Tolkien as the "source of all worldly evil", in order to study the marring. The origins of feminism and patriarchy, found in the marring, are discussed. From Free love and building the right kind of utopia, to monetary reform, this book elaborates upon the kind of measures to be taken to keep the soul in good stead, steps which if taken will also heal the world from its currently dystopian state of affairs, it is indeed a no-brainer.

Iambiguous asks me:

Well, for one thing I don't understand how Buddhists actually go about demonstrating that reincarnation is in fact true? Really, in that respect, how is their spiritual narrative regarding life after death all that different from Western denominations that speak of Judgment Day and immortality and Heaven.

Only with them there is an actual God in the picture that one can turn to as the font -- the font -- able to bring this all about. What is the equivalent of that with Buddhism? The "universe"? Okay, you die and the universe takes over. How exactly?

I replied:

In Star Wars, the midi-chlorians are "a microscopic life form that resides within all living cells" that "serve as the link between the Living Force within all life forms and the infinite Cosmic Force" and "make it possible to achieve immortality after death" or at the least, reincarnation ("When a life form dies, midi-chlorians return to the heart of the galaxy. Thus, all is renewed".

Something is going on outside our bodies... maybe very far away (but perhaps, within the galaxy). 

If you understand energy parasitism, it is about how your actions either steal energy from or donate energy to the rest of the universe. 

This is linked to the notion of karmic attribute of actions. And each action contributes to sum up the whole over life, and after death, reality gives back its due (how much of the energy you have donated to the cosmos) or takes its due (how much energy you have extracted from the cosmos).

Entropy... there's a word i like.

Entropy... that's all there is to calculating how good your record is in life. 

Did you donate energy while you were here? Or did you steal energy while you were here? 

(steal from (or donate to) the cosmos)

That directly determines your karmic score.

Whether you are liked by entropy or considered a heavy load, a jerk, by it... 

Karmic score .. This could very well be the yardstick for determining one's status in the afterlife. 

As for proving the existence of an afterlife itself ... that is much harder. It requires more insight into the extra-corporeal eletromagnetics of what we call soul, and its relationship with cosmic radiation... 

if Star Wars can be interpreted as per the laws of Euhemerus (highly possible), the place where souls (or at least midi-chlorians) go to, is in the center of the galaxy, and that's where they come from as well. 

Trying to prove this from the kind of literature we have in our times in the public domain, is a fool's pursuit . 

Literary references! 

In the absence of which, i use euhemerus distillations of some popular fiction. Damned are the fools who burnt down the libraries of alexandria, constantinople, nalanda, and birmingham !

Can we find something more useful in secret libraries, like the Vatican library?? Perhaps, it would be enough to answer iambiguous's specific question about the proof for reincarnation. I would just tend to believe it because i am convinced that the electromagnetic story is more central (we material world manifestations are just echos of that story), and this EM story must be obeying the laws of entropy, energy conservation etc.

If you heal and bring relief and balance to entropy, it elevates your soul (electromagnetic signature), but if you just be a jerk, and block entropy, it dampens the same. Entropy is the way to understand all systems, including this one.

About karmic account, and whether you heal or steal energy ... that's what my book covers.

If you have seen Avatar, there is a lot that resonates with this philosophy of balance - "Some believe that this interconnectedness, which on Earth is merely a spiritual concept, exists in a physical and tangible way on Pandora, in the form of a strange, collective psionic consciousness embedded in the planet, drawn from all Pandoran life. It is, in a way, a little like a huge biological internet"

A mechanism for calculating degree of new flesh of reincarnation, based on the fruits of one's previous life, is suggested. It's mainly about whether you were an energy source or an energy sink in your previous life.

It's just what you did coming back to you - like everything thrown up comes down.

If you steal charge from the atmosphere, you take a loan from reality and your "credit rating" goes down. If you live like a competitive, narcissistic jerk, and keep doing this, it has ramifications.

An energy sink is reincarnated as a lower life form and an energy source as a higher life form.

This is just balance, what goes around comes around. Reality is a system that runs on balance. How exactly? Unfortunately, that is where the story starts to get nebulous.

There is the "wellspring of life" at the heart of the galaxy where our souls are connected to, and this is just a story of the electromagnetic aspects (we must difictionalize Star Wars' view about the midi-chlorians). 

It's an emerging picture ... there is much we cannot yet know about it, my book introduces the near-earth aspects in the boundary layer between our bodies and the atmosphere. How our bodies donate or steal charge, and how thunder clouds are the agents which make up for this (comparable to governments giving bailouts to banks hit by too many defaulters). But the point is that defaulting must have ramifications.

How? 

To know this we gotta know more of the electromagnetic story. My book just introduces the earthly part with the cycle, of life form (mainly human) activities taking energy and thunderclouds (or other humans) giving it back.

The electromagnetic story somehow connects into the story of the "spirits of the dead", is another thing of which i am almost certain. Those are more electromagnetic than corporeal forms of life. That's where half the story is going on.

How did the Buddhists get to know all this? There is much that the ancient aliens knew and tried to communicate, but just could not. In particular, they omitted all the science* and just gave us facts... which sucks, i know!

* But maybe you explore the Vatican library and find all the science in ancient tomes! Maybe the secrets of UFO flight also. What the "profane" traditions tell us is just the facts.
