NEUROBIOLOGY AND SELF FIELD THEORY

Many are now seeing the threads of psychological therapies for our modern life. Self-field theory sees life and consciousness as a fractal process similar to the gravitational structure of the universe that SFT sees at four levels: solar system, galaxy, super-cluster and universe. Similarly, life on Earth evolved not just exposed to the gravitational fields caused by the Moon and Sun that cause photon densities here on Earth (vertical and horizontal components of E-fields and H-fields), but also to strong nuclear and even higher forces from our own Galaxy, Super-Cluster and even our Universe. Sleep and consiousness are periods when we are either exposed to our own Sun or other astronomical objects including our own Galaxy. This is not a throwback to astrology with its fatalistic view of life. We have a free will that empowers us to make choices within our own terrestrial domain.
Consciousness may exist in different forms other than just our waking reality at the terrestrial level. Sleep research has revealed that the subconscious mind during sleep can carry out physical tasks that are not normal for humans. Many people dream of flying. One reported example is the reading of a clock held hidden on the ceiling above a sleeping person's body. This implies an ability to drift away from the body by a part of the consciousness raising questions about the role of sleep. Its role as a form of 'defragmentation', like a computer only gives sleep an electronic circuit analogy. Given the fractal basis of self-field theory, its fields and particles, conscious existence may be layered; thought and consciousness may exist across a number of field structures.
Rapid eye movement is known to be associated with the lucid dream state. This may be an indication that the body does indeed use the visual cortex within the brain during sleep and in particular during dreams. The eye muscles may still be operational within the visual experience during dreams. REM may indicate a relativity in which the perception of elapsed time may be a neurologically internal reality.
MODERN LIFE AND ITS PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT
Perhaps the greatest challange to mankind at this point in our brief history on this fragile little 'third rock from the Sun' is the damage we are doing not only to the global ecosystem however badly we are doing in this respect, but the damage we do to our own selves by our past and more recent lifestyles. We westerners have been the 'consumer generation' in the second half of the 20th century, and now we are finding out the true costs associated with our headlong love affair with the economics of such a profligate attitude to the world's natural resources. In the end all life is fractal, and this includes many different levels of existence. Life is also a series of delicate balances including the attitudes we hold to the world around us including other races, other cultures, other ways of living. Yet we and our young have turned to drugs of all kinds, and many addicts to a wide variety of substances and habits need neurological repair to ailments such as depression, psychosis, schitzophrenia, addiction, memory and learning disorders, alzimer's disease, autism, and a host of socially induced disorders and mental diseases. Many disorders lead to a criminal path for the sufferer including murder, rape, incest, paedophilia, alcoholism, glue sniffing, etc. Frontal lobe-damage amongst murderers is common; modern justice may yet become a subdiscipline of medical science. Many indigenous peoples suffer a traumatic response to the encroachment of the developed world with its globalization leading to economic and cultural isolation and to an endemically diseased part of modern society. Some technological ailments have become apparent: aircrash, carcrash, pollution, magnetosensitivity, electrosensitivity.
A brief backward glance at world history will give us a perspective of how we got to our current position. It appears that following the 'War to end all wars', the west turned psychologically chaotic (Dadaism) becoming psychotic and xenophobic (Nazism, Stalinism) leading to WWII. This brought with it the horror and fears of the atomic age with which we have had to live since the mid-20th century. The cold war with its doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) continues to impinge on our confidence for the future. The rationalist, atheistic views of the Soviets, Moaists have influenced the modern life-style of the developed world impinging on the role of Christianity with its own impact on the history of medical ignorance and superstition during the Middle Ages and beyond. The West with its Imperialistic past including the era of black slavery is now at the forefront of a cultural 'osmosis', the like of which the world has not seen before, certainly not to the modern level at least. Recently, the ancient backwaters of the Islamic world are having to face what the West, parts of Africa, and many parts of Asis have had to suffer for centuries since before the industrial revolution. It now appears that this Islamic part of our global village is facing internal divisions that may result in the modernization of social laws that have not changed for millenia. With all its faults, the West and the consumerism it entails have provided the world with an impetus for change. Now with the prospect of global warming, the world is having to pull itself up by the bootstraps and come together to face a common threat. In short, we are in a mess psychologically and neurologically, the world over, and it has been largely our own fault and our blinkered xenophobic attitudes to others around us.
