Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU) - Is this just basic training ?
2024-12-19
[MAIL] 'What happens after we die?' is the most existential question humans face.

But a man with one of the highest IQs in history claims to know the answer.

Chris Langan, 72, is an American horse rancher who is alleged to have an IQ between 190 and 210. That 'genius' score is 30 to 50 points higher than Albert Einstein's.

Langan has developed a hypothesis called the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), which he says 'explains the connection between mind and reality.'

He believes that when we die, we transition from one form of being to another within the computational structure of reality, meaning the consciousness, or 'soul,' moves to another dimension or plane of existence we cannot access while alive.

#7  Having a high IQ is like owning a sports car - it doesn't mean you'll win any races.

#6  how are they created, formed, and personalized for us

For us?
Interesting.
I had assumed/imagined they were deceitful artifacts of the anthropomorphism engine, correlation of the unassociated dissimilar into a recognizable pattern, fractalized for categorization and long term memory storage.

A face in an apple, on someone that you meet moments later.
Knowing that the phone would ring. Anticipating a call from someone you know.
Calling someone that was just reaching for the phone to call you.
Having exact change for a purchase in your pocket.
Intuiting the form of the curve of a thrown baseball as a partial differential equation solution in your CRC solution book.

Sometimes, time isn't linear when tagged to the memory of a sensory event.

#5  Synchronicities are coincidences that seem to be meaningfully related but are not explained by conventional cause and effect. The term was introduced by analytical psychiatrist Carl Jung, who believed that synchronicities reflect deep psychological processes and can carry messages.
Here are some examples of synchronicities:
Having similar thoughts with someone who is far away
Having a mental image of an unexpected event before it happens
Receiving a text message from a friend you were just thinking about

Some say that synchronicities can be a sign that you are on the right path. Others say that synchronicities can be a way to mark your life and journey.

#4  Do you believe in Synchronicity?

What is the commonality btwn synchronicity, us, and the universe? To me, seems synchronicities are too structured and personal to be random and coincidence, so how are they created, formed, and personalized for us?

#2  Moorehouse wrote about this stuff in the mid-90's. The effort gained visibility during the Red Brigade kidnapping and eventual rescue of US General James Lee Dozier from his apartment in Verona, Italy in December 17, 1981.
