"The design process ... must become conscious, global, integrated ... the entire human domain, which means the entire planet and its surrounding near space, should be enclosed and included in a coherent plan driven by human values and a thirst for transformational beauty."
Terence McKenna

“ … in
the micro-world of atoms and particles that is governed by the strange rules of
quantum mechanics, two different observers are entitled to their own facts. In
other words, according to our best theory of the building blocks of nature
itself, facts can actually be subjective.”
"Eugene Wigner designed the thought experiment to illustrate his belief that consciousness is necessary to the quantum mechanical measurement process (and therefore, that consciousness in general must be an "ultimate reality"[1]according to Descartes's "Cogito ergo sum" philosophy): "All that quantum mechanics purports to provide areprobability connections between subsequent impressions (also called 'apperceptions')of the consciousness".[1]
Here, "impressions of the consciousness" are understood as specific knowledge about a (measured) system, i.e., the result of an observation. This way, the content of one's consciousness is precisely all knowledge of one’s external world and measurements are defined as the interactions which create the impressions in our consciousness. Since the knowledge about any quantum mechanical wave function is based on such impressions, the wave function of a physical systemis modified once the information about the system enters our consciousness. This idea has become known as the "consciousness causes collapse" interpretation."
“Quantum mechanics describes how the world works at a scale so small that the normal rules of physics no longer apply; over many decades, experts who study the field have offered numerous interpretations of what that means. It seems that, in contrast to classical physics, measurement results cannot be considered absolute truth but must be understood relative to the observer who performed the measurement,” Ringbauer explained. “The stories we tell about quantum mechanics have to adapt to that.”
"We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect; we apprehend it just as much by feeling. Therefore, the judgment of the intellect is, at best, only the half of truth, and must, if it be honest, also come to an understanding of its inadequacy."
Carl Jung

“It was quite extraordinary; our device was doing something like what the brain does, but in a very different way,” said Sreetosh. “When you’re learning something new or when you’re deciding, the brain can actually reconfigure and change physical wiring around. Similarly, we can logically reprogram or reconfigure our devices by giving them a different voltage pulse then they’ve seen before.”
We intuitively determine which method of reasoning to apply when making a decision. Decisions and determinations seem to originate as the result of a mixture of both emotional and mental impressions and experiences. Choices stem from how we each perceive our world, which likewise harbors our interpretation of reality.
We are highly dependent upon our intuition, which is a quality of mind that influences our awareness. Our mind is guided by meaning and consciously heartened by signs, symbols, metaphors and analogy.

“Emotions interpret the world for us. They have a signal function, telling us about our internal states as they are affected by input from the outside. Emotions are responses to present stimuli as filtered through the memory of past experience, and they anticipate the future based on our perception of the past."
"There is an ongoing tension between our innate drives and the persistence of our higher-order consciousness. Our newly acquired cognition clashes with the instinctive, nonconscious emotional systems that served our ancestors for hundreds of millions of years. It remains within the purview of unconscious emotions to make decisions, but because of bright, noisy consciousness, most people cannot conceive that their behavior is mostly driven by their desires and passions. However, the scientific evidence is overwhelming that this is so. Just like our animal ancestors, we live first and foremost as emotional beings. Anything that threatens or interferes with our emotions undermines our evolutionary fitness."
A research group from the University of Bologna discovered the first causal evidence of the double dissociation between what we see and what we believe we see: these two different mechanisms derive from the frequency and amplitude of alpha oscillations.
Thus, it was possible to isolate the two key processes occurring when we see something. One is more “objective” and related to the observation accuracy, the other is more “subjective” and related to the internal representation of the sensory event, i.e. the level of confidence in identifying what has been seen.
“The results show that perception is a discrete rather than continuous process. Each alpha oscillations cycle represents a sampling cycle of sensory information, thus the faster the oscillations, the more information can be gathered, which in turn increases accuracy.”
“In this study we demonstrate that the ability to perceive accurately (delivered by the speed of alpha oscillations) interacts with the confidence of the response (delivered by the amplitude of alpha oscillations). Thus, our subjective representation is continuously updated to better match our objective performance.”

Discernment: A Matter of Frequency, Focus and Control
+ Endear yourself by responding to a higher meaning and purpose (frequency) in your life.
+ Respond to your deepest “feelings” concerning the facts made evident within their own emotional context. One of the purposes of your intuition is to bring balance and harmony into your life. Know what your intuition can do for you and use it accordingly.
+ Discernment is closely attuned to compassion yet can be easily misconstrued. Personal impressions and interpretations will surely add complexity to every moment. Ask if your observation, interpretation and response add or detract from experiencing truth, beauty and goodness in your life and in the lives your fellow humans.
+ Know that you are responsible and in control of the choices you make. This is what freedom really means. Monitor them as closely as you can. Learn/know who you are. Diligence over time will support you in separating the wheat from the chaff.
+ Release that which no longer expands or enlightens you. What is the purpose surrounding this situation and what might it mean as you observe it? What is the meaning surrounding this situation and what might its purpose be while observing it? What might a particular decision/choice entail both in the short and long term? Internal inquiries help clarify circumstances by prompting your subconscious/symbolic language, i.e. design consciousness.
+ Know from your perspective (experience) that not all decisions will be correct or appropriate. Discernment is generated, interpreted and made apparent within the symbolic network, i.e. consciousness, of the perceiver, observer, participant (POP)
+ Quantum influences are always in play. You are a multidimensional being.
+ Change is both immediate and long term. Change is a given.
+ Willingly work within constraints while remaining cognizant of the fact that past events and choices gotten you to where you are now - come to realize that today's decisions will set the tone for your future. + Choose wisely by studying and analyzing the paths of others.
+ Focus within (meditate) - discover and reveal to yourself what are the most appropriate step/s to take in your own personal journey.
+ Discernment demands scrutiny, examination and long-lasting inquiry. A heartfelt intelligence harbors an intuition, i.e. awareness, that cannot be measured, only experienced and placed into practice.
+ Focus upon the symbolic language you've designed for yourself, the metaphoric and intuitive interpretation that maintains, sustains and brings balance to your consciousness. These designs harbor the seen and unseen signposts that will guide you in your decision-making process.
+ Be in the moment. Know everything changes. Whatever your decision, it will always be the most appropriate for you in that time and in that space.

To be design consciousness you must be more than an observer.
Your heart is a key reminder in every decision.
The difference between knowing and believing is discernment.
“Of course, "truth" does not exist. There is no such thing as Objective Truth. A thing is only true if it is true for you. Subjective truth is the only truth there is. Discernment is the experience of residing in one's own truth--and remaining there, all exterior "evidence" to the contrary notwithstanding.
We know that F-E-A-R is False Evidence, Appearing Real." Fear will come up whenever anyone steps toward discernment. In the early stages of discernment, it is natural to doubt ourselves and to question our innermost knowing. This is the final stage of argument, a holdover from the previous internal experience. Ultimately, for the truly persistent, discernment wins out. We know that we know, and we know that we know it.
Discernment is the victory of the soul over the mind, of the interior over the exterior, of the inner truth over the outer reality, of the Only Story There Is over the Cultural Story we have been told.
Discernment is knowing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder--and that God beholds beauty in everything. Discernment is knowing the difference between the exterior myth and the interior experience. Exteriorly, we are told that God and we are separate, and that there is a requirement we have to meet in order to return to The Essence. Interiorly, we know intuitively that God and we are One, and that nothing is required for us to experience that. Nothing.”
Be assured you will not discover all the answers to your inquiries here. Continue to investigate into your role of observer and contributor to a reality of your own design and creation – be aware of the by-products that surround every choice and decision.

Inductive and deductive reasoning set the parameters for Intelligence when exercised within the paradigm of science and linear thought. Abductive reasoning has no constraints thereby encouraging further conceptualization by means of attraction.
Design is what you perceive and/or believe it to be. Balance exists at the central core of reason, i.e. the event horizon, which is also an undefinable abstraction that can only be interpreted, felt and understood symbolically.
Light is an attribute of a quantum field of virtual potential (QFVP). Light is currently interpreted and re-presented in 3D space/time as a form of duality, i.e. wave/particle. Efforts surrounding the concept of light attempt to quantify that which cannot be entirely quantified. As result there is greater and greater emphasis upon theory and abstract reasoning.
"In the Vedic philosophy of India, the spider is depicted as hiding the ultimate reality with the veils of illusion.[42]Indra's net[g] is used as a metaphor for the Buddhist concept of interpenetration, which holds that all phenomena are intimately connected. Indra's net has a multifaceted jewel at each vertex, and each jewel is reflected in all of the other jewels." [43]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra%27s_net Mathematics is a system of signs and symbols used to investigate, interpret and observe the world in all its forms. Mathematics is the dominate language used in exercising the scientific paradigm and is chiefly based upon deductive and inductive reasoning.
Design might best be viewed as a macro system of signs and symbols used to investigate, interpret and observe a world that is both in-formed and formless. Design is an exercise in abductive reasoning.
Mathematics strives to measure both form and formlessness. Design forms and in-forms. Design is measurable in form and without measure when formlessly in-form-ing.
A virtual/contextual field can be whatever you choose it to be. The virtual/contextual field accommodates all perceived qualifications and attributes by way of design. The QFVP is aetheric in context therefore capable of being referenced in any way you choose to qualify and/or quantify. Throughout recorded history this field has been classified, categorized, measured and "observed". In the QFVP can be found your own interpretation of reality.
All means of investigation into a collective concept of reality, including design, describe a variety of methodologies and systems of signs, symbols, analogies and metaphors used to reveal certain emergent "qualities" associated with the QFVP.
Mathematics uses mathematical equations to find balance between facts and knowledge. Design uses metaphor and analogy to find balance between facts, knowledge, understanding and wisdom. Signs quantify numbers, equations tell a story.
Mathematics provides facts and knowledge by means of number and sign. Design qualifies every method of inquiry, e.g. science, mathematics ... including its execution, e.g. music, dance, art.
Mathematics brings knowledge to facts and understanding to knowledge by means of design. Design brings greater understanding to both facts and knowledge while being symbolically implemented within the parameters of the scientific paradigm.
Design creates a symbolic bridge between what is known and the mystery of an unknown. Mathematics/science attempts to measure and discover known and unknown perturbations in a quantum field of virtual potential. Though immeasurable, design symbolically re-presents and in-forms every "observer" by virtue of numberless perturbations/disturbances perceived as being apparent, and at times "measurable".
perturbation| ˌpərdərˈbāSH(ə)n | noun a deviation of a system, moving object or process from its regular or normal state or path, caused by an outside influence: • a minor deviation in the course of a celestial body, caused by the attraction of a neighboring body.
A field is made known/apparent by means of an impression. Impressions appear in many forms.
impression | imˈpreSHən | noun1 an idea, feeling, or opinion about something or someone, especially one formed without conscious thought or on the basis of little evidence:a difference made by the action or presence of someone or something:
Facts lead to knowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to wisdom. Every facet leading to another, actively creating a field we call intelligence/mind.
"Science is the art of creating suitable illusions which the fool believes or argues against, but the wise man enjoys for their beauty or their ingenuity, without being blind to the fact that they are human veils and curtains concealing the abysmal darkness of the unknowable."
Carl Jung
[Since we cannot sense everything we still intuitively feel the causal connections between things in space and time. This circumstance implies that metaphysics must somehow be founded on something entirely imaginable. The problem is our minds are very good at imagining things that do not exist. This position has allowed for the implication that metaphysics has little impact upon "physical" reality, thus exacerbating the poor reputation surrounding its viability as a tool to be used in pursuit of a balanced consciousness.
So you see the problem of metaphysics is simple and profound - we must discover through our imagination the hidden connection, i.e. designs, between events, objects and experiences. To resolve this situation requires a quest into the true knowledge of physical reality, such that we can understand the hidden causal connections that our senses, i.e. intuition, tell us must exist.]
The above was written in reference to Geoff Haselhurst
Design consciousness is symbolic in context and content, its patterns are archetypal. Such patterns are metaphysically modeled about this primordial source and made apparent to human awareness/consciousness by means of a designed paradigm.
To be design conscious you must be more than aware.
Be assured you will not discover all the answers to your inquiries here. Continue to investigate into your role as observer, participator and creator in a design of your own making. Be aware of the by-products and outcomes that surround your every choice and decision.
