Nezman’s Motivation Is an Outcome of His Hologram Lens

Nezman is full of dreams of eternal pleasure and beautiful meanings (Le5 scenarios). The magnificence of those dreams coupled with the heroic self-image of Nezman help him to have the greatest motivation and never give up in the face of daunting challenges. Nezman lives as a great hero in a great world with great dreams and great hope. Nezman’s great motivation is an inevitable result of his hologram lens. Having Nezman's hologram lens (being a great hero who lives in a great world with such great hopes) is the greatest reward in itself. Motivation and effort are automatic result of living such a heroic life. Nezman’s hologram lens makes him or her unstoppable.
It is as easy as turning on a lamp. If the necessary components of hologram lens are present, such a great reality is constructed automatically. Achieving the goals are guaranteed, and Nezman begins to enjoy his or her heroic journey as if all goals are achieved. Nothing can stop Nezman because Nezman is already living his or her own dream.
The problems begin when you lack any of the components of the hologram lens that creates your motivation.
1- If you do not believe that a great world exists out there. There are a lot of suffering in the world, yet the world can be a beautiful place for those who know X. Many are suffering (even if you are not one of them). Most people focus on suffering instead of focusing on the potentials for the most beautiful qualitative experiences.
2- If your W2 lacks L1 and L3 eternal scenarios of pleasure and beautiful meanings, then your reality becomes much smaller, as well as your motivation.
3- If you lose your self-confidence and do not believe that you are the capable hero who can make your dreams happen. A flawed self-image can taint your hologram lens.
Items 1 and 2 describe what is out there, and item 3 describe how capable you are to get what you want out there.

Many contradictions will emerge, yet Nezman overcomes the contradictions.
A. Nezman knows Le5 scenarios (eternal scenarios of pleasure and beautiful meanings) are illusions in W1, yet Nezman incorporates self-made Le5 scenarios in L1 and L3 in order to live in the most beautiful world with highest motivation and success.
B. Z-man also knows that the relationship between hologram lens and the three above-mentioned components are two-sided. If hologram lens and the reality become an arbitrary construct, automatically all three beliefs are weakened. This reduces solidity of the reality. Nezman’s two channels are the solution that will be explained later.
C. Running out of time can turn Le1-Le5 scenarios into tragedies. L2 collides with L1 and L3. L1 eternal scenarios of after-life collide with the pursuit of W1 goals (for instance, materialistic goals). Many things such as relativity, time, mortality of the hero, and the mathematics of W1 can negatively affect hologram lens and motivation. Nezman reconciles W1 limitations with W2 desires for infinity.

The 3 Realms’ Integrations

- Most people are unaware of the three realms. Their W3 experiences are the result of their instincts (rooting in their W1 body) and their organic W2.
- W1 gives rise to W2, and W1 and W2 give rise to W3. This does not mean that the three realms are ontologically the same.
- The more complex W1 body is, the more complex W2 body will be. The more complex W1 and W2 bodies are, the more complex W3 will be.
- W1 body, W2 body (thoughts, memories, ...), W3 (stream of reality: experiences, feelings, ...) are interacting with each other (in both ways).

Overlapping Bubbles: Curiosity Killed the Cat

As it was explained in the metaphor of bubble, everyone lives inside a personal bubble interacting with W1 external compositions. When two bubbles get close to one another, they may partly share the content of their bubbles. The same way that viruses are transmitted, the content of one bubble may be transmitted into another bubble. Any communication, conversation, or exchange of ideas or feelings between two individuals will bring their W2 compositions closer to one another. Similar W2 compositions give rise to similar hologram lenses and similar streams of realities. When two individuals with two distinct bubbles get close and interact with one another, their bubbles gradually partly overlap. This partial overlap can create rather mutually understandable realities.
What you find inside another's bubble may change your reality for the better or forcthe worse. It can distort or mend your hologram lens. Usually, any change in hologram lens happens below the threshold of conscious experiences. Depending on his or her hologram lenses, one may live in one’s own hell or heaven. Looking deep into another's bubble for long, often, negatively distorts your hologram lens and your reality.
Curiosity killed the cat: 
You cannot gain anything positive from gazing deep into lost, confused, or ugly souls. You should avoid a fearful soul (whose W2 is full of future scenarios of pain) or a hateful soul (who has intention to inflict pain to self or others) . You cannot even gain much from the loving people who have intention to do good but instead inflict pain and damage due to lack of wisdom. Bubbles with a well-balanced L2, L1, and L3 are rare. Both a faulty W1 body and a faulty W2 body give rise to a faulty hologram lens that creates realities full of confusion and ugliness (for instance a reality with an ugly god).
Everyone is interpreting W1. Everyone's bubble is a mirror that reflects how the person sees W1. What you find inside others’ bubbles is neither real (in terms of distance from L2 image of W1) nor important (in the sense that it does not affect your feeler directly). You find a series of worthless personal interpretations of W1 created by the person's unique W1 and W2 bodies.
Only focus on creating your own hologram lens. Create your own self-image. Beautify your own universe. Do not look inside other people because it reduces your concentration on your own constructs.
Often, you cannot gain anything other than confusion and ugliness by looking deep into others' bubbles. The only thing that justifies looking inside others’ bubble is gaining control over them.

The Most Ubiquitous Reductionism

Most people take their unique experience inside the bubble for granted. They do not think about the machinery that creates their unique realities. They see their realities as an external entities, while they fail to see how much they contribute to creation of their realities.
They experience a solid constructed reality, and they become slaves of their own software and hardware machinery. They fail to distinguish between three layers of W2 and get imprisoned inside a solid reality. The truth is that they may not be able to change the facts about W1 (the content of L2 layer), but they can change their values and their own interpretations (the content of L1 and L3 layers).
A 2-dimensional image of a 3-dimensional object fails to capture the complexity and potentials of the third dimension. The same way, someone who does not understand the machinery of X, reduces the magic of X to a mundane experience. Such a person experiences the outcome of X machinery without knowing how much he or she can control the outcome of this process. Such a person also fails to see the potentials of X.  This is the most ubiquitous reductionism about human condition.

You Become What You Think You Are

As it was mentioned earlier, both the image of the self on the inner surface of the bubble (self-image) and the image of the self that one projects on the outer surface of the bubble (persona) are arbitrary illusions. In fact, you are free to see yourself as you want. You can project any image on the inner mirror and on the outer surface of the bubble. Inside the bubble, you are a creator. You become what you construct in this mirror. For sure, some of the constructs that you create will collide with W1 (or contradict L2), but fulfilling-prophecy effect can justify that you create an exaggerated self-image. You gradually become what you think you are. Your self-image changes your W2 (especially our scenarios of future), others' W2s, and W1 accordingly. You become a hero who discovers oneself, and then others discover you, and finally you change the external world (W1).

Become the Super-Hero of Your Own Reality

A person constructs two images of the self. One image is formed on the inner mirror surface of the bubble. This image is how the person sees himself or herself. Another image is the image that one projects on the outer surface of bubble (persona that others outside the bubble can see). Both of these images are arbitrary constructions. These images are usually created partly by how others see us and partly by our interpretations over time (ever since childhood). Self-image of most people, at best, is an inaccurate, false, flawed, or  illusive construct.
Your image on the outer surface of others’ bubbles is created by others’ values (and not your values), yet it affects your self-image. You should not allow these images affect your self-image because how others judge you has no value for your feeler (others have their own values, their own interpretative lenses, and their own standards of beauty). You should control your own self-image. You should not let others define you. Nobody knows who you are (not even you). Nobody knows what your future potentials are. Any self-image can be true, depending on how the future unfolds. Nezman does not allow others’ values and opinions define him or her. Nezman is the super-hero of his or her own reality.

Three Sources of Self-Image

Self-image is a collections of ideas about the self. It defines the main character of your own story. Your self-image is closely linked to your Le1-Le5 scenarios of future. This means that self-image can positively or negatively affect your hologram lens and your stream of reality. Your self-image inside the bubble comes from three different sources.
1. Your image on the inner surface of your own bubble: This is how you define yourself for yourself. The inner surface of the bubble is like a mirror that you can see your own reflections. These reflections may come from other constructs inside the bubble (or other L1,L2, and L3 lenses). How your constructed god or gods evaluate you or how your conscience judges you affect your opinion about the self.
2. What you project on the external surface of your bubble: This is your persona (what others see on the outer surface of your bubble). This image may differ from your image on the inner surface in order to gain power through pretense, deception, or camouflage. For instance, by pretending adherence to society's moral codes, you may gain certain advantages and benefits. Many individuals hide their weakness and cowardliness under a facade of brave macho appearance.
3. What you see from the reflection off the external surface of others' bubbles: You never know how another person evaluates you because you are not inside his or her bubble. You can only see what others want to show you. No matter whether this image of you (their feedback) is a sincere and honest reflection or not, this feedback has no real value and should not affect your self-image. Even if it is their honest opinion about you, their opinion, mostly likely, is the outcome of their L3 and L1 lenses and has no value for you.
Self-image has a self-fulfilling prophecy effect. You will become what you think you are. Therefore,
you should control all the three sources of your self-image and define a protagonist that makes your scenarios of pleasure and beautiful meaning achievable.

All Contradictions Are Inside the Bubble (W1 Has No Contradiction)

All contradictions that we are experiencing are inside the bubble. Out there (in W1), there are no contradictions. W1 seeming follows some laws (that we call natural laws), but inside the bubble many different laws exist. The surface of the bubble composed of many different interpretative lenses. These lenses create contradictory images of what is out there (W1).
The content of W2 is constantly interacting to give rise to one coherent hologram lens. Such efforts fail when many inherent and acquired contradictions exists inside the bubble. As a result, no coherent hologram lens created. Our failure in solving these fundamental contradictions eventually leads to construction of a dark reality called depression. In unconscious and subconscious level, the whole W2 is in a turmoil. When you are depressed, your mind works hard to resolve these contradictions in order to come up with a coherent hologram lens to no avail.

Damage to Self-Image Causes Fear and Anger

Any thing that damages self-image causes fear and anger. For instance, losing the war of wills causes fear (and consequently anger) because it tarnishes the self-image. Not having a capable protagonist limits the future scenarios of pleasure and meanings. In other words, anything that threatens self-image implies the future scenarios of pain and ugliness. Moreover, the future scenarios of pain and ugliness is the source of fear and consequently anger.

Methods of Mass Control Inside and Outside of the Bubble

1. Traditional method of control inside the bubble: A judgement center inside your bubble (like an eye in the sky) watches your every move and judges your every act (even your every thoughts and intentions). Such a constructed judgment center could be the concept of an omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent God. It could also be your conscience or other constructs. From childhood, you are indoctrinated by such constructs, and such constructs can judge you and create the feelings of guilt and shame in you. The religious leaders determine what such a god expects of you, and they gain control over you. The traditional method would create a coherent mass reality to control masses. However, after religions failed to create powerful mass realities (as they could do before), other methods were devised.
2. Modern method of control outside the bubble: The judgement center is outside bubble. It could be other people, or it could be new technologies. This method does not care about the things inside your bubble. It aims to control your behavior. CCTVs and surveillance technologies are examples of such control.
3. Modern method of control inside the bubble: If creating coherent and believable mass realities (such as religious realities) seems impossible, then what is the best way to tame a society whose members live in a variety of realities? the answer is that confused, indifferent, or even depressed individuals are much more controllable. Bombarding a person with barrage of profound, contradictory L1, L2, and L3 illusions would make the person confused (for instance, in mass media, there are many instances that profound questions of life are answered by laymen). Confusion leads to meaninglessness. In fact, the modern life style does not leave enough time for relevant education (and thinking) for individuals. In fact, specialization does not make a person wiser. The person needs to learn thinking disciplines (and have well-balanced L1, L2, and L3 layers) in order to digest and process the barrage of confusing information and thoughts. Such confusion can direct an unprepared individual (consciously or unconsciously) toward escapism. Comfort of escapism is better than a dark meaningless reality full of confusion and contradictions.

The Closest Thing to the God Is the Machine That Creates the Image of God Inside the Bubble

Student: I have had a strange relationship with God after certain unfortunate events in my life. I became introvert and focused on inner surface of the bubble. I started asking why questions. I asked God, why did such things happen to me?" I was angry at god. I challenged him. I loved him. I fought him. I feared him. I shouted at him. I experienced so many contradictory feelings and attitudes toward god, but I finally came to realization that I have been shouting at myself in a mirrored sphere. My gods, my guilt, my self-image, and every other thing inside the bubble are just some reflections constructed by me.
Nez: Yes you are the only creator inside the bubble. Everything inside bubble is your construction. You have not been shouting at God. You have been shouting at yourself (your self-made image of God). It is frightening to realize that all along the way, you have been alone and isolated inside a mirrored bubble talking with your own constructions and illusions. However, after your fear subsides, you realize how magical your imagination is. You become a powerful creator of your own constructions. All these show that you are getting close to becoming a Nezman. After you fully understand X (the machine that creates all those images), you will become the creator of the image of your own god.
X is transcendental. In fact, the closest thing to the ultimate reality or god is the machine that creates the image of God inside your bubble. In fact, the content of your bubble cannot represent god as much as the way bubble works (X) does.

The Scenarios of Pain and Suffering Kill Creativity: Lost In Oneself

Strong emotional experiences deform the hologram lens. One can go through such emotional experiences first-hand or vicariously. Even watching mass media or a movie, as well as reading a book or newspaper,  can create emotional experiences that affect L1 and L3 content. Strong emotional experiences strengthen L3 and L1 and weaken L2 layer.
As gradually L2 weakens, a person whose universe constructed by L1 and L3 lenses gets detached from an accurate image of W1. This could even turn extroverts to introverts. The person becomes blind to what really is happening in W1 (and may dive into escapism or denial). He loses his analytical power to understand W1 state of affairs, and he ends up having no influence on W1. In fact such a person gets lost in himself. He or she becomes the prisoner of his own self-made prison. This disorientation and confusion may make masses indifferent, nihilistic, or even depressed.
Going inside the bubble of an ugly soul and seeing an ugly universe (through his eyes) convey Le1-Le5 scenarios of future pain. Any illustration of Le1-Le5 scenarios of bodily and mental pain can create strong L3 lenses that negatively affect hologram lens. For instance, horror movies strengthen the scenarios of pain. Fear, sexual attraction, and violence have roots in W1 body (and our instincts) and linger in our L3.
One may ask if scenarios of pain and suffering have such negative effects, why is mass media full of such scenarios?
The answer is that the ruling class wants conformity and not creativity. The ruling class spreads these L3 illusions because people who are lost in themselves are much more controllable. Le1-Le5 scenarios of pain and ugliness depict a hell that kills individuals' creativity. After people lost their creativity, they lose their ability to imagine an alternative to the existing social order. A creative individual can imagine a better W1 state of affairs. He or she may question the status quo. When creativity dies and Le5 scenarios of pain are engraved in people's W2,  people's  hologram lens can only constructs hell realities. Obviously, people prefer to live in status quo reality than to live in a hell. The status quo remain the only option for those who lack creativity (and fail to construct a beautiful alternative).

2 Types of Focus to Find Meaning and Purpose Inside the Bubble

There are 2 types of focus to find meaning and purpose inside the bubble:
1. Outside-in: It is a focus on what exists outside bubble. The person looks at the existing states of affairs in W1 and tries to find meaning and purpose there. The person forms a whole picture by looking at what is out there. He is like a driver who discovers the existing roads out there, and his future path is the continuation of one of the roads that he finds. Such an approach will destroy creativity and leads to being indoctrinated by existing meanings and values out there.
2. Inside-out: The main focus is inside the bubble. One looks for a compass to find or create the greatest beaty. The longest and most beautiful qualitative experience of the feeler is the goal. The person tries to find meaning organically inside.
This is Nezman’s approach. Nezman carefully observes what is out there (and create an accurate map of existing roads out there), but Nezman eventually is free from what is out there. Nezman is a driver who creates his own new roads. He is the creator of meaning, values, purpose, and even the definition of what exists.

Extreme Selfishness Leads to Self-Hate

A narcissist loves himself above all others. A narcissist considers his or her own preferences and desires much more important than those of others. Many societies have narcissistic attitudes and established such organized priority of class preferences over those of another class. For instance, a royal family’s preferences have priority as their birth right.
To the narcissist or the selfish, others are considered means to an end. W1 has some limitations (and scarcity exists), usually success in fulfilling one’s preferences would deny others from their preferences.
Achieving pleasure and meanings for one, may cause suffering for others. The feeler become numb to such pleasure and meanings. No longer blinded by euphoria of such achievements, the person sees his own reflection off others' bubbles. The person understands the consequences of one’s actions. Seeing himself as an agent that inflicts pain to others will make him hate himself.
Nevertheless, this process does not happen to every one. There are individuals who have such deep-seated complexes (or indoctrination) that create such strong lenses that always see others as enemy and do not feel no empathy toward others. They see themselves as the chosen race, the chosen tribe, or the chosen species.

Bubble: The Worst Punishment Is Ignoring Someone

Humans are social beings whose self-images partly defined by the reflection from other bubbles. From the minute, a baby is born, one’s self-image is affected by how others define him or her. People get used to seeing the reflection of self on the outer surface of other bubbles.
Ignoring a person whose definition comes from the feedback of others is the worst punishment. That’s why long solitary confinement is so destructive. The person forgets who he or she is. It robs the person from his own self-image and identity. The lack of self-image makes everything meaningless inside the bubble. Without a protagonist or an antagonist, there is no story. Without no story, there will be no future scenarios of pleasure or beautiful meanings.

3 Layers of Reality

3 Layers of Reality (3 Parts of W2):
Understanding of 3 layers is the most important part of the journey to become a Nezman. This thinking discipline will help you to understand the making of your current reality. If you are able to pinpoint what part of your W2 body is making your reality unbearable, you can easily change it. W2 contributes greatly to the making of hologram lens that constructs your reality. The content of W2 can be divided into 3 categories (L1, L2, and L3). The content of each category gives rise to a certain type of reality.
L2: This layer captures the state of affairs in W1 (the physical world). In this layer, a rather faithful and accurate reflection of the W1 realm is stored. The more accurate your L2 layer is, the more predictive power you would have.  An accurate L2 provides an accurate model of W1 events that help you achieve your preferences related to W1 external compositions and your W1 internal body.
L2 layer is comparable to science. All branches of science are attempts to create an accurate image of W1 reality.
L1: This layer, addresses the metaphysical aspects of the world. It fills the empty portions of the reality. It is a faith with no way to prove it in W1 (or in L2). Many questions about L1 topics are irrelevant in L2. Focusing too much on L1 theses is waste of time and energy because none of these theses can find meaningful answers in L2. The goal of L1 is to fill the empty portion of the unknown (or unknowable) with personal answers that serve the feeler toward the goal of creating the highest beauty.

3 Layers of Reality

An ordinary person often has serious contradictions and incoherency between the three layers that eventually leads to destruction of castle of thoughts. Many times,  a person's L1 content contradicts those of L2 and L3. However, Nezman, through rigorous thinking disciple, has a coherent W2, whose 3 layers are in total harmony.
L3: The borders between L3 and L1 is blurry. L3 content is associated with past evaluations of the feeler. L3 content is the source of value judgement. For instance, it determines who is handsome or pretty. This layer is the most complex. Intuition, the memory of past emotions in unconscious level, suppressed past desires, and goals (desired scenarios for future) all are affecting the reality construction through this layer. L3, like L1, is a double-edged sword. It could create the most beautiful and the ugliest realities. L3 content can give rise to realities with utter happiness or realities with eternal darkness. It can create strong motivations toward success or indifference leading to utter failure. L3 content can incorporate Le1-Le5 scenarios that are creative, exciting, and ingenious, as well as those that are outlandish, fantastic, or insane.  W1 internal compositions (your physical body) also affects L3. For instance, one's attraction toward the same sex individuals may partly root in biology, but it manifest itself as a value judgement lens in your L3. All L3 content is normative. Present emotions, as well as the memories of past emotions, will affect L3. In many cases, the content of L3 becomes so distant from L2 that it becomes destructive.

Addictive Love Distorts Reality

Nez: Love is an attitude. Love is the intention to materialize the scenarios of pleasure and beautiful meanings for the the loved one (that could also be the self). Love brings the ultimate pleasure and beauty, and one's failure to materialize the goals of love causes a lot of pain.
Sometimes L1 and L3 lenses create such a pleasurable and beautiful realities that the the person distorts L2 lenses and steps into fantasy. The more a person experiences pleasure and beautiful meanings from the reality constructed by such L1 and L3 lenses, the more addictive such reality becomes. The person denies W1 and L2 (the accurate image of W1) in order to stay as long as possible in such beautiful reality. However, if the person lives long enough, eventually W1 collides with one's constructed reality.
Student: I can relate to this. there was a time when my powerful imagination created illusions of love in order to construct the most beautiful universe for me. Those illusions became so addictive and strong that I denied any other possible realities. However, when those constructs collided with W1, my castle of thoughts destroyed, and that beautiful reality shattered.
When I look back, I see that I wanted a piece of heaven. I wanted nothing less than the extreme pleasure and ultimate beauty. I tricked myself to believe that I am there because living a moment in such a heaven seemed to be worth a lifetime. I constructed my fantastic version of heaven, and I fell in love with it (and became addicted to it). My small heaven gave me strongest motivations, unstoppable will, and the most beautiful self-image.
Nez: Living in such a concrete reality far from L2 could be very dangerous. You may experience extreme pleasure and beautiful meanings, but later you will suffer much more. Such an intense experience of pleasure and beauty is so addictive that distorts L2 lenses and causes more suffering in the long-run. Collision with W1 may damage your hologram lens for years.
Student: I wanted a piece of that heaven even if it was a costly illusion. Although it was an illusion, it was the most beautiful experience of my life.
Nez: After you become a Nezman, you gain control over the three layers of L1, L2, and L3. You can experience more pleasure and beauty without W1 collision.
Your experience was short-lived, and you were fearful that you may lose it all. As a Nezman, you can decide to stay there as long as you want, and you will have no fear.

Judging Others Is Meaningless

Every individual has a unique W1 body, unique W2 body, and unique interaction with the fountain of events. You can never judge anyone because you can never know how it feels being inside another's bubble. Different W1 and W2 bodies give rise to different streams of realities that are alien to you.
You can only be compared to other versions of yourself. No two individuals can be compared with one another.
Nevertheless, for most people, comparison is an automatical, unconscious, and inevitable process. Such comparison works like a double-edged sword. When you are the winner in the comparison, it boosts your self-image, but as soon as you become the loser in this comparison, comparison destroys your self-image.
Nezman has control over his or her own L1 and L3 lenses and their interpretations. For Nezman, defeats are temporary and stepping stones towards much bigger success. Nothing in outside world can affect Nezman’s self-image. Nezman knows and defines himself or herself despite all external events and comparisons.

X Is My Astrolabe

Nez: Sailors we using astrolabe as a navigation tool to reach to their destination centuries ago, when science and technology were not advanced enough to make navigation effortless. My navigation tool to explore uncharted territories of consciousness is X.
Consciousness is the most familiar yet the most unknown entity in the universe. Consciousness is a place that the three realms meet. The construction of reality, as well as the conscious experience of reality, cannot be conveyed by the tools of language. Nevertheless, I do my best to shed light on the working of the machine that gives rise to your unique reality. X is my astrolabe to navigate in the unchartered territories of consciousness, and I use some metaphors to help you understand the magic of X. Becoming a Nezman enables you to enjoyably navigate through the ocean of unknown. Your fear is replaced with excitement and awe, your hate with love , and your despair and  hope.

First Extrovert, Then Introvert, and Lastly Extrovert Again

Your self-image, thoughts, interpretations, and memories of past events and past emotions are stored in W2. W2 bodies of most people are like junkyards of outdated thoughts, useless emotions, and suppressed desires. Such content works like a broken lens that contribute nothing valuable to hologram lens. For many, W2 is a collection of comforting and tranquilizing lenses that lead to numbness, laziness, inaction, complacency, and conformity. A period of introversion helps one to correct those lenses. One can pinpoint all lenses that create biases and negative emotional reactions due to past experiences or belief systems. Moreover, one should become introvert in order to understand how the machinery of X works.
One purpose of introversion is correct categorization of thoughts to 3 layers of L1, L2, and L3. While L2 portion of W2 is subject to the least amount of change,  L1 and L3 portion of W2 need serious overhaul in different stages of life. L2 should remain objective and without any judgement or bias. L1 and L3 are there to be filled with your creativity. Mending self-image needs contributions from all three layers though.
Nevertheless, one should become extrovert again after all these corrections. Success in W1 needs a balance between the two modes of introversion and extroversion. Becoming Nezman (and fully understanding of X) requires a long period of introversion (months or even years).
Some of the most successful people switch mode every day. After a day of extroversion (and dealing with W1 reality) would think one or two hours in order to update L2 and plan to influence W1 toward their preferences. They update L2 and plan while avoiding fantasies and comforting escapism.

Matter Is Sacred and Valuable, yet Magical and Mysterious.

Matter can create life, consciousness, pleasure, the experience of meanings, and the experience of beauty; therefore, matter is, sacred and valuable, yet magical and mysterious.
Consciousness is the product of matter plus evolution. The experience of meanings inside the bubble is also such a product. Moreover, consciousness correlates with the form and composition of matter. A new composition creates new consciousness. For instance, using drugs and alcohol changes the composition of the brain by introducing new chemicals to the existing compositions. The new composition creates altered consciousness.
Consciousness may be one potential among many potentials of matter. We are a composition of atoms, but this does not mean that we are just that.  We have found some equations to describe the state of affairs in W1, We do not even know what really matter and energy are. Our effort is aimed at prediction and utilization of this understanding toward our our preferences.
We know atoms in our body come from far away galaxies where they were made billions of years ago, but we are much more than what makes up our bodies. In fact, the whole is different that the parts. We are the matter looking at itself. Maybe still confused, but we have taken our first steps in the path of self-discovery.

W2 Makes an Imperfect Model of Unknown W1: Lowering the Standard of Intelligibility

The standard of intelligibility in an ocean of mysteries:
When Newton explained that gravity is an invisible force that affects matter from distanceit was considered absurd by common sense. Later it seemed natural. What Newton proposed was unintelligible by man's evolutionary mind. Nevertheless, it became a  part of the science. Newton lowered the standard of intelligibility for understanding of W1. Einstein's relativity, quantum physics, and neurological correlations with qualia did the same. They give us a picture of W1 that defies our common sense (which developed through encounter with mid-size realities of W1 in the path of evolution). The laws and capacities of W2 cannot accurately describe the unknown W1. In other words, the model-making capabilities of W2 have serious limitations in describing W1. This shows how our common sense (our basic understanding of W1) is illusory. We are experiencing W1 without knowing its essence, its rules, its laws, its meaning, its potential, and its relation to W2 and the feeler. We are swimming in an ocean of mysteries, and we are pretending (or falsely believe) that we understand W1, W2, and W3.

Free like an Ancient King, a Modern King, or Nezman

Free like an ancient king, a modern king, or Nezman:
Many ancient kings did whatever they wanted to without shame, guilt, regret, or second thoughts. They did not suppress their desires and lived close to their instincts. Unlike modern kings, they would show their power and kingship to the world. Some even defied gods or introduced themselves as gods or agents of gods. Such kings and their subjects lived in a more harmonious reality.
However, kings today cannot show off their wealth and power to the world. They live double lives. They create mass illusions and charades, and hide behind the walls of their castles and play chess by moving their pawns. It is more mind labor than pure instincts; therefore they hypocrites with a lot of suppression. Kings of our time have much more power, yet they have a much uglier self-image. They may do whatever they want, yet they carry the contradictions of having double lives. A king in hiding is never as free as an ancient king.
Nezman’s freedom is different though. Nezman does not suppress his desires. Nezman gets what he wants because he has control over his own desires. There is a harmony between what he desires and what he gets. He has insatiable appetite, yet he is not the slave of his appetite (his appetite is his slave). Nezman’s insatiable appetite fuels his odyssey. He enjoys the rollercoaster of reality. Both being a king and a subject are part of his journey. No king in history has ever been so free as Nezman because even the most powerful king lives in a rigid reality. Nezman as the master of reality shapes the reality and remains free no matter whether he is a king or a subject. Nezman’s self-image is independent of anything out there.

Metaphor of a Boiling Pot of W2

W2 is like a gigantic boiling pot, whose ingredients constantly interact with each other. As new ideas are poured into this boiling pot, new compositions are created. One has access only to the surface of this pot. Deep inside the pot, the remnants of one’s past ideas, interpretations, and memories have been deposited. Many of those past thoughts, interpretations, and feelings are biased, outdated, inaccurate, or false (do not reflect W1 accurately). In fact, a large portion of the content of this pot is indoctrinated ideas of childhood that corresponds to certain intolerable realities. The realities that rarely are in harmony with W1 and addresse the inherent absurdity or contradictory aspects of W1.
Any disturbance can bring unexpected compositions to the surface. The only way that one can alter the taste of this boiling pot it to add a lot of delicious new ingredients that mask or eliminate the bitter taste of the pot. The pot is like a living body composed of interacting cells. The new ingredients react with the existing ingredients and create new compositions.

Evolution of Mass Realities Throughout History

Nez: The history of ideas is the history of change and confusion. As dominant ideologies of an era change, the mass realities of that era also change. History exhibits a rollercoaster of evolving mass realities. Throughout history, thinkers have changed their focus many times. In ancient times, thinkers were looking for answer to questions such as Where are we? Who are we? or What is life? But later thinkers’ focus changed to questions such as What should we do? What are right and wrong actions? Depending on how they answered these questions (and filled up the unknown or unknowable), they constructed their own version of reality. Imagine that you were a slave building the pyramids, what reality would you have experienced? For sure, you would have experienced a different reality than that of someone who was witnessing witch-hunt in 17th Century Europe.
Nevertheless, many thinkers claimed that they have found certain and reliable answers for those questions, and by doing so, they created solid heavenly or hellish mass realities. However, all have focused on W1 and W2 (the inner image of W1), instead of focusing on X (the mechanism that gives rise to those realities).
Nezman focuses on X, as well as W2. Nezman explores the world of ideas and dives deep into the history of ideas because every idea corresponds to its peculiar reality. History is a kitchen full of different recipes to construct a variety of realities. Nezman meticulously screen and categorize ideas into three categories (L1, L2, and L3) in order to come up with his or her own answers for those fundamental questions. Nez carefully separates the fuzzy border between the knowable for unknowable. Nezman has the most organized W2. Nezman’s Castle of thoughts (the whole W2 composition) is a masterpiece that gives rise to the most beautiful qualitative experiences.

The Ugliest Thing in the World Is Intention to Harm and Inflict Pain to Others

Nez: For the feeler, intention to harm or inflict pain is the darkest and ugliest composition in the universe. The inner surface of the bubble of such a person is covered with scenarios of past and future suffering. The person is so lost in himself that cannot see other judgement centers. Thick distorted lenses (archetypes and complexes) construct a hell for such a person. This person lives in an inescapable hell and regards the universe and everything in it as one’s own enemies. He is burning inside his own hellish bubble and wants others to burn with him (which he gains satisfaction out of it). There is nothing uglier than receiving pleasure from inflicting pain or destroying beauty in others' bubbles. Nezman tries to eradicate such intention by any means. That’s why having power and control is a must for Nezman.

Pleasure, a Means That Became an End: 3 Kinds of Pleasure Alignments

Three kinds of pleasure alignments:

1. Alignment of pleasure with survival (Life's alignment with pleasure): Through the course of evolution, only life forms survived whose pleasure was aligned with survival. For instance, the offsprings who did not find sexual activity pleasurable did not pass their genes and became extinct. This means many W1 preferences are the product of natural selection through eons. What you find pleasurable today is what allowed your ancestors survive through millions of years. However, as gradually higher levels of consciousness emerged, meaning gave a new direction to pleasure.

2. Alignment of pleasure with meaning: The developement of memory and imagination in W2 created new forms of pleasure. Memory of pleasurable experiences and preferable composition could construct complex future scenarios, as well as the concept of eternal pleasure (I will address complex future scenarios when I introduce Le1 to Le5 scenarios). As the image of pleasure (or memory of pleasure) became more powerful than the first-hand experience of pleasure, all the problems began. Man became the most confused animal. In other words, as meanings became a major source of pleasure, the mankind's confusion began.

Meanings are the feeler’s evaluation of W2 compositions. The Constructs that incorporate the memory of past pleasurable states seem preferable. W2 compositions can incorporate contradictory scenarios of pain and pleasure (for instance, the past scenarios of pain and future scenarios of pleasure). There is no limit to imagination in this regard. The meaning could be so preferable that a person sacrifice present or short-term pleasure for a beautiful meaning whose future scenarios are preferable. Some of these meanings could become so perverted that they deny and contradict W1 pleasure completely. For instance, some religions create meaningful W2 compositions (that have some preferable future scenarios) and prohibit many carnal pleasures. It may seem ironic because as one breaks down any complex preferable W2 composition, one will find simple carnal pleasures as their building blocks. Pleasure can become a currency in the hand of the creators of meaning (and they can use it as they want). Different religions budget pleasure as it best suits them.

3. Alignment of pleasure with the maximum of preference fulfillment: There is no doubt that meanings can create great pleasures, but an optimum balance between W1 and W2 pleasure is needed to achieve the maximum preferences. W1 pleasure is what our evolutionary W1 body finds aligned with survival, and W2 pleasure is beautiful meanings (the evaluation of feeler of certain W2 composition). Nezman has a healthy balance between W1 body pleasure and W2 body pleasure (beautiful meanings).

In some sense, pleasure and beautiful meaning have close affinity. Pleasure is a preferable experience. Beautiful meanings also provide preferable experiences. In everyday language, beauty is the feeler’s evaluation of a W2 composition (what we feel after seeing a beautiful artwork), but pleasure is what W1 body finds preferable (what we feel when we eat a delicious meal). However, in essence they are very similar because both words describe preferable states.

The Depression and a Faulty Hologram Lens: the Depressed Gets Lost in Oneself

There are things out there in W1. Our evolutionary body works as an interpretative lens that registers and creates a personal W2 model of those external W1 things and events. Our W1 and W2 bodies give rise to a stream of reality. Different W1 and W2 bodies give rise to different realities. An intolerable, ugly, hopeless, or meaningless reality can also be an outcome. In such cases, one or both of these components (W1 and W2 bodies) may be the cause or causes. We call such experiences depression. Sometimes, one unfortunate event is enough to destroy the castle of thoughts. Other times, the person gradually grasps his or her mortality, which makes many scenarios of future meaningless or irrelevant. Even W1 body can be the culprit (such as an illness or chronic pain). A depressed person thinks that the world out there is intolerable (and the source of the problem), but the problem or problems lie inside the self (W1 body or W2 body).

Depression is a lingering and resonating scenarios of pain, ugliness, and meaninglessness in W2 (especially in L1 and L3). Since anything in W2 is just an inaccurate interpretation (or an internal model of W1), depression is one persistent illusion.The depressed person’s mind cannot imagine anything other than inescapable scenarios of past, present, and future pain and suffering (sometimes eternal suffering). A depressed person reviews the past memories with new flawed pessimistic lenses. The person forgets once he or she was living in a happier and more beautiful reality. All happy experiences fade away. A faulty hologram lens can make all past, present, and future events ugly. The depressed feels imprisoned in a concrete and inescapable ugly reality but, in fact, is stuck in the self.

Nezman is immune to depression. Nezman does not punish oneself for improbable and unknown scenarios of future pain because Nezman knows that the scenarios of future pain and suffering construct an illusive reality full of suffering that ruins this moment. For Nezman, only present pain exists (pain felt at this moment through the physical body). Nezman gets prepared for L1 future scenarios, but never lets L1 or L3 future scenarios hijack his or her reality. For Nezman, depression is one interpretation among infinite number of possible interpretations. Nezman’s W2 is open to new interpretations as Nezman is creative like a child.

The Most Important Piece of Knowledge for a Conscious Being Is Knowing That Its Conscious Experience Can Be Controlled by the Conscious Being

Consciousness is a gift. We are thrown into consciousness. We suddenly find ourselves conscious. The most important piece of knowledge for a conscious being is knowing that the conscious being can control its conscious experience.
Things exist, but we don't know why. We just register how things exist, but the meaning of things are defined by how we feel about them and how our past experiences and feelings are associated to those things. W1 exists, and we are also part of that W1 (our W1 body is part of W1 as a whole). W1, in core, is unkown or even unknowable. Our W2 registers W1, and our W3 experiences are the closest to us. For many, the machinery of X (in which quantitative content of W1 and W2 bodies give rise to our conscious experience) is an automatic and uncontrollable process. Knowing that one can control one’s qualitative experiences is the first step toward becoming a Nezman. The deep knowledge of X enables Nezman to gain mastery over his or her own body, own W2 interpretations, and own conscious experiences of stream of reality.

Our Hardware and Software Can Give Rise to a Small Portion of the Spectrum of Realities

The reality that we are experiencing is just one interpretation among infinite number of possible interpretations, yet our W1 body (our hardware) and our W2 body (our software) can give rise to a small portion of the spectrum of possible realities. To understand the limitation of our W1 component, just take a look at the way your eyes give rise to the experience of colors. We are almost blind since only 4 percent of light spectrum is visible to us. Sensitive cells inside our eyes are blind to 96 percent of light’s wavelengths. In fact, we create a partial construct of what is out there, yet it seems like a perfect reality to us. Many other realities with different qualitative experiences could be constructed with different W1 body components (hardware).

The persistent illusion that we perceive is limited by the ability of our W1 body component. We experience the world through the lens of W1 body (our hardware), yet many of us cannot imagine that different experiences are even possible. Many people look at the sky, yet there is no way to know whether they see the same blue color. Contribution of W1 body to construction of reality is mysterious and miraculous.

Most people assume that their experiences are universal and concrete. They fail to understand that their realities are arbitrary and dependent to their W1 bodies. The same is true about W2 body components. Your belief systems and your culture create one lens that contributes to your reality. Culture is a mass indoctrination. Many different belief systems can give rise to many different realities.

Nezman knows the reality he or she is experiencing is only one arbitrary interpretation among many. Nezman takes control of W1 body and W2 components as much as it is possible. Eventually, Nezman looks at W1 and W2 as a ladder to reach the highest W3 experiences.

You Fall in Love with Your Own Self-Made Constructs: What Makes Your Object of Affection Desirable Is Inside You

Love at the first sight? Infatuation? You meet someone, and immediately you feel strong attraction toward that person. How much of what you see and love is out there, and how much of it is inside you? How much of what you feel toward the object of your affection is really coming from that object? What increases your heart rate when you see the object of your affection?
You receive very little information from the person, yet huge constructions are made. Negligible bottom-up flow of information gives rise to sizable desirable constructions, but a lot comes from you (and not the person). Your past memories and interpretive L3 lenses transform small input into glamorous constructions. These lenses are so powerful that small input can create an idol. In fact, you fall in love with your own self-made constructs.
Many times, L3 lenses create false associations by overgeneralization. L3 lenses store your own golden ratios (proportions that you find beautiful because of your W1 body or because of acquired taste through past associations).
Every memory associated with pleasure and beauty creates a lens that affects your future interpretations. These small lenses melt together and form a bigger lens.
Every single thing that you want and find attractive is a package of attributes that in your memory (and your lenses) are associated with pleasure. Every new memory of pleasure is a chain that creates a new goal lens (desire lens).
In fact, the more powerful your memory, the more your future is taken hostage by the pleasurable and painful memories of past experiences. Every generalization or glamorization is an automatic outcome of such organic lenses. Nezman digs deep into making of W2 lenses (L2, L1, and L3 lenses) in order to take control of autopilot mechanism that gives rise to tastes and exaggerated constructs.

Meanings Change as Points of View Change

Depending on your point of view, the meanings change. A preferable state for one person can be an undesirable state for another person. This is a cause of never-ending contradiction and confusion for an imaginative perceiver.
For instance, being rich (or being a king) has different meanings from different viewpoints. For the rich, having wealth means security, power, and ability to fulfill their preferences. For the poor, it is hoarding of valuable resources that could have been used to serve many (instead of one). It can be construed as indifference to the suffering of the poor.
An unimaginative, narrow-minded, or selfish observer is blind to the third-party's viewpoint and cannot feel such contradiction and confusion; therefore, he or she remains more focused on selfishly pursuing his or her own preferences (ignoring others' preferences and well-being). That's why psychopaths are very successful in pursuit of their own self-interest.

Laws, Social Norms, and Morality Are Designed to Hide the War of Preferences

Societies deny and cover the hidden war of preferences and hide the conflicts of wills. Mass denial engenders more harmony and empathy in the society. Such denial used to create more harmony in the past (for instance when Christianity was more dominant), but as capitalism and materialism prevailed, it became harder to encourage empathy among competitors in a so-called free market. Denying the war of preferences gives advantage to those who are free from morality and conscience. They can gain advantages by cheating and secretly violating the laws, norms, and moral codes. That's why most successful politicians are psychopaths who have no sense of guilt or conscience. They gain their preferences of power and wealth by unethical means. If every member of society was as free as they are from social norms and morality, chaos and fierce competition would have ensued. Morality and social norms are chains that bring harmony and provide systematic advantages for the group that establish those rules. Throughout history, different groups established and controlled those rules. For instance, religious leaders such as Popes had this role when the church ruled the Europe in the Middle Ages. After industrialization, those who controlled mass media and those who controlled legislative system (the lobbyists and frontman of capitalists) controlled laws, social norms, and morality.

Metaphor Therapy

Every person lives in a constructed reality (the mechanism that constructs personal reality will be explained in depth in this blog). A person experiences a self-made reality; however, the person who is immersed in this experience fails to see the mechanism that constructs the realty (like a fish that can’t see water). It is difficult to understand the machine that gives rise to understanding itself. Metaphors are tools that can help a person to comprehend the unexplainable. Though, understanding a concept through metaphors needs powerful imagination. Once the concept of X was understood, one can detach oneself from the experience and gain control over the experience of the reality. In fact, whenever one experiences the abyss, one can shatter the solidity of that reality by remembering that all are constructions, and whenever one experiences bliss, one can intensify the experience of that reality by forgetting about the mechanism.
Depression is imprisonment in a extremely solid reality. For the depressed, the outcome of X is ugly and meaningless (full of scenarios of future pain and suffering). The cause of depression is either in W1 body (hardware malfunction rooted in your physiology) or in W2 body (software malfunction rooted in your psychology and your belief system).
Metaphor therapy, which provides a deep understanding about the machinery of X, can enable an individual to shatter the solidity of that horrible reality. Treating depression by metaphor therapy takes a long-time and intense intellectual labor. Metaphor therapy is an ideal treatment for intelligent individuals. Nevertheless, it is a bumpy road because, at first, it makes every reality an illusion. This creates a serious crisis (accompanied by pessimism or nihilism). Later, when the person gained a deeper understanding of X, he or she becomes equipped with tools and criteria to separate different realities from one another. Finally, the person learns how to evaluate any experienced reality. The person learns to analyze the components of W1 and W2 bodies, and eventually gains power over the outcome of that constructed reality. For Nezman, depression is one persistent illusion (where the stream of reality gets stuck on one reality).

Religions and Mass Depression

Nobody knows what lies beyond death (and what happens to consciousness after death). Nobody has the needed capacity and tools to fully understand what God and the whole universe are. We live in an ocean of uncertainty. Science provides minuscule certainty through the use of experiments and our experiences. Science is a small candle in the dark, and a great portion of unknown is left to be filled up with our imagination. Most religions have tried to fill up the unknown and uncertainty with some comforting scenarios. Religions have been perfecting their stories for thousands of years. Many brilliant religious thinkers have hidden contradictions and flaws of those stories (and scenarios of future). However, the changes in our lifestyle in the recent centuries have been so quick and so dramatic that most religions fell behind in updating their justifications.
One root of mass depression is that the scenarios of future proposed by existing religions are not beautiful, comfortable, and believable as they were once. The modern society needs more believable and more exciting scenarios of future. People’s imagination is expanding so quickly that soon, nothing short of becoming a god would satisfy them. The everyday reality has become so mundane, repugnant, and intolerable that people prefer to escape to virtual realities and fantasy. Capitalism has become a religion. An inefficient religion that creates beautiful, but short-lived, reality. A religion that denies death, and when its contradictions emerge, it turns into nihilism.

Depression Is Persistent Scenarios of Future Pain and Suffering

Depression is a persistent illusion. A depressed person lives in a universe (or hell) full of fear of future scenarios of pain. Bad experiences of the past construct an illusory scenarios of future pain, ugliness, or meaninglessness. A depressed person forgets the fact that future is unknowable and changeable. A depressed person does not know that mastery of X can turn hells to heavens.

For Nezman, Nothing Is Real, and Everything Is Real

Nezman knows that the reality is constructed. This knowledge will cause deep internal contradictions. On the one hand, every construction becomes an illusion (with differing degrees of affinity to W1). On the other hand, Nezman should enjoy the stream of reality as if it was a concrete reality. In a smaller scale many do it everyday (for instance, a person may suspend disbelief when watching a Sci-Fi movie in order to enjoy it).
One implication of shallow understanding of X is that everything becomes constructions and seemingly unreal. The border between real and unreal disappears. Everything becomes just degrees of illusions.
However, after Nezman gains mastery over X, all constructions become real. Nezman learns that the ultimate reality and truth lies beyond any constructed reality. The truth may even lie beyond the machine that constructs reality. Nezman learns the truth lies beyond time and space (and out of any construction). For Nezman, truth is not frightening because it is beyond constructed reality (emotions are part of X). Nezman look forward to meeting the truth, but in the meantime gains mastery over constructions and illusions. For Nezman, nothing is real, and everything is real. For Nezman, negative emotions are unreal. Nezman laughs at calamity as if he or she is touring a horror house in Disneyland.

Extreme Selfishness Leads You to Philanthropy

Selfishness is a virtue; not knowing the self is a vice. Selfishness creates a strong urge to pursue your preferences, but shortsighted and blind selfishness deprive you of achieving more valuable preferences. Blind selfishness fails to reap the fruits of love.
It may seem strange that extreme selfishness leads you to love. Only having the attitude of love (wanting others to reach their ultimate preferences and beautiful experiences) can enable you to reach your highest experiences. If you do not love the world and others, it will be hard for you to imagine that the world and others love you. The feelings between you and the external world (the world and people in it) are mutual. If you regard the world and people in it as hateful and ugly, you live in a nightmare. You should love others and make a better world for everyone in order to reach your highest experiences. Empathy is inevitable for the imaginative. After knowing the self and one’s ultimate preferences, an extremely selfish person realizes his or her preferences cannot be reached without fulfillment of others’ preferences.

The Difinition of God in 3 Realms

Student: What is God?
Nez: God in which realm?
In W1 realm, the God (if it exist separate from us) is unknowable. In fact, everything in W1 is unknowable. We can register some W2 impressions (on the surface of our bubble) of W1 entities. The God as a W1 entity is unknowable. We construct some models of W1 entity in W2 by the help of our primitive evolutionary common sense. We use weak tools of inductive and deductive reasoning (as well as principle of uniformity of nature) to make such models, and we forget how unreliable these tools are.
In W2 Realm, gods are W2 descriptions of some unknowable W1 entities. They are just a bunch of attributes, mostly contradictory, anthropomorphic, and primitive. Millions of images of god have been created in this way, and they are just some man-made illusions that are evolving over time.
In W3 Realm, those powerful and divine W2 images give rise to unique extreme religious experiences (the experience of god). It is natural that W2 image of infinity give rise to powerful experiences of fear, joy, or ecstasy.

Nez’ Metaphor Try to Explain Something Unexplainable

Some concepts are ahead of their time, and some are difficult to understand because need powerful imagination. More than a century has passed since Einstein's theories of relativity replaced all previous descriptions of physical world, yet many educated people cannot understand his theories and their implications. To understand the implications of his theories, you need some fundamental knowledge and powerful imagination. Einstein’s theories of relativity introduced new mathematical equations and new models to describe the physical world. A descriptions that seem unnatural to common sense. Nez’ metaphors to describe X are of the same nature. They describe something complex, profound, and unnatural. You should patiently learn the basics and let your imagination fly in order to grasp the most important concept of your life, namely X.

Organizing Your Preferences

Everything has preferences and desires. Even matter and energy as constituents of life have certain preferences and desires. Having preferences and desires is inevitably a part of the existence and life. It is not our job to suppress our preferences and desires, but to make them more beautiful. We can pursue fulfillment of preferences and desires that their outcomes are beautiful. It is a pragmatic approach to choose preferences and desires that have the most desirable results for the self and others. If following one desire contradicts our other desires, then there is a problem. Our genius is to find ways to satisfy our desires, as well as those of others. Though it seems like an impossible mission, it could be one important pragmatic goal for humanity.

Quantity Gives Rise to Quality; This Is the Ultimate Miracle

The real miracle happens where quantity gives rise to quality. When beams of light enter your eyes and create the experience of color red. When certain touches become the experience of orgasm. When a chemical becomes a taste. This is the boundary of three realms. Mystery is the gateway of experience where W1 and W2 give rise to W3. The qualitative W3 experience is the most miraculous and mysterious.

Money Is a Tool to Exchange Potential Preferable Experiences

We use currencies to buy and sell things, but the ultimate things that are exchanged are preferences of the two parties involved in the exchange. We use money or other means of exchange to facilitate the trade of our preferences. Money makes fulfillment of some preferences possible.
In fact, by exchanging money, you give the potential of fulfillment of your preferences to someone else. You are buying a product or service in order to make a preferable change in your W1 body or W2 body. For instance, you buy an air conditioner to keep your body temperature (W1 preference) at your desirable level, or you buy insurance policy because you think that you are more prepared for unexpected future events (W2 preference).
The ultimate goals lie in W3. When you donate money, you provide W1 preferences for others in exchange for W2 preferences for yourself. When you buy a beautiful painting, you buy a W1 composition that can strike a chord with certain W2 compositions inside you and make you feel good.
Any currency’s ultimate goal is to exchange preferred qualitative experiences.

We Have Tax Brackets, but We Don’t Have Philanthropy Bracket or Selfishness Brackets

W1 has its own sets of mathematics (certain W1 mathematics describe the physical world). W2 and W3 have their own sets of mathematics, but thoughts, meanings, and feelings are not easily quantifiable. W2 and W3 mathematics are personal, yet people have a lot in common.
Our current socioeconomic system completely ignores W2 and W3 mathematics. Tax system, for instance, has a lot of mathematical formula for calculating tax. Tax is not a loose term, but philanthropy is a loose term. We have tax brackets, but we don’t have philanthropy brackets, selfishness brackets, love brackets, or hate brackets. Why philanthropy shouldn't be well defined mathematically. What percentage of philanthropist’ asset was donated and how it served others’ preferences. Philanthropy is also a mathematical relationship between the value of fulfillment of your own preferences and those of others’ preferences. Why selfishness shouldn't be bracketed. Why hate shouldn’t be bracketed? Why shouldn’t companies, billionaires, and millionaires who are hiding behind trusts (and various means to conceal their wealth) not be evaluated by selfishness brackets?
Our current socioeconomic system encourages winner-takes-it-all attitude. Winner takes it all is also a mathematical relationship. Capitalism is a machine that generates wealth, but by some adjustments, it can spread the wealth more beautifully. Currently, a minority enjoys capitalism’s wealth disproportionately. Different adjustments such as higher tax may spread the generated wealth to majority. Even if such adjustments make the whole system less efficient, still the whole system could be much more beautiful.
There is a mathematics of beauty. The feeler has some inclination toward certain proportions. There are some golden ratios for our species. Historically, the ancient and native tribes used to invade other tribes if they become disproportionately wealthy. Some proportions are ugly or intolerable, and some proportions are preferable. People can reach a consensus about the mathematics of beauty. For instance, no human being under any circumstances should own more than y times of the poorest. The minority of winners (who take it all) justifies inequality by the benefits of the system, but nothing can justify ugliness. Many beautiful systems can be devised. Even if such socioeconomic systems have lower efficiency), they provide much better human experiences for the majority. Nezman accepts inequality, but extreme inequality is ugly by any standard.

You Decide What Is Fair, and No One Judges You Other Than Yourself

Nature is not fair. Physics is not fair. W1 reality is not fair. Fairness is a decision that you make. Fairness is a W2 meaning. Fairness is not out there in W1. Fairness is one interpretation of the feeler judging certain W1 or W2 compositions. Fairness is a preference of the feeler based on unique W1 and W2 bodies (and no one has the right to judge the feeler). As people vary in W1 and W2, their definition of fairness also varies.
Nezman knows there is no absolute fairness yet tries to create the most beautiful balance between preferences of the self and the preferences of others.

Only One Thing Is More Important Than Reality: The Entity That Constructs Reality

Nez: Only one thing is more important than reality: the entity that constructs reality. The mysterious and unknown mechanism that creates reality is more important than the reality itself. The stream of reality is a forgotten miracle. People take experiences for granted. They do their best to get the most desirable experiences without thinking about ontology of experiences. However, an even bigger mystery is the entity or mechanism that makes such experiences possible. This is the ultimate question mark. This is the most mysterious question in the universe. For a person who consciously or unconsciously does one’s best to get the best experiences, the most important questions are: how the most qualitative experiences are created. Perhaps we never know where it comes from, yet we create our own beautiful version of the unknown.

Religions Create Feelings of Shame and Guilt by Using Your Imagination Against You

Religions create feelings of shame and guilt by using your imagination against you. Most religions (especially Abrahamic religions) introduce a god that judges you. The concept of such a god is indoctrinated into you mind, and it creates an eye in sky that watches your actions (even your private thoughts). These constructions (god, conscience, and so on) seem independent entities, but they are all created by you. Your powerful imagination has constructed such judging entities inside your bubble. However, in reality you are the one who is judging yourself. You are the creator of feeling of shame and guilt for yourself.
Nezman knows that the concept of god has been an evolving construction in mankind's individual and collective mind. Nezman knows all of these are some illusions: your constructed image of God, the image of you in eyes of that god, and your feeling of shame and guilt. Nezman breaks free from all these illusions.

Disillusionment of Love: You Glamorize, Idolize, and Worship a Person Because of Your Own Pleasure

You glamorize, idolize, and worship a person because of your own pleasure. You receive such an addictive and pleasurable feelings from that illusion that you ignore all negative real feedbacks that suggest that your idol is not perfect (and sometimes is even grotesquely flawed). The real problem is that you do not want to let that beautiful illusion disappear because those illusions are the source of your comfort. But a healthy reaction would be that you separate the person from the ideal beauty that that person was representing in your mind. In other words, you should separate W1 person from the W2 image of that person in your mind. You should tell yourself "that I still love the beautiful image of that idol that I created in my mind (W2 image), but that person (W1 entity) was not even close to the idol that I really love. I will continue to search for such an idol" and " I am thankful that the flawed person was a conduit that helped me to create such a beautiful W2 image, but I avoid this person from now on because If I keep in touch with such a flawed person, I enter the realm of love and hate."
Why the realm of love and hate? Because after disillusionment, you start to focus on the flaws. This flawed idol makes you angry, confused, or even mad. On the one hand, you love that idol because it has been a source of addictive pleasure for you for such a long time. On the other hand, you hate that person because he or she caused you pain. This person destroyed parts of your castle of thoughts, your self-confidence, and your self-image. You blame yourself and doubt your own sound judgment because you chose such a flawed person. Moreover, all these make you pessimistic toward your future relationships. Continuing to see the flawed person destroys the perfect mental idol that you have created. You need to keep that standard of beauty (and the image of an angel) as an aspiration for your future relationships and as a beacon of hope for future. After all, these dreams and hopes (even illusions) are our only source of extreme pleasure and hope. Even unrealistic dreams can serve us. Many times, we dream the world, as we want it to be, not as it is. However, if we easily proved wrong, we suffer much more.

We Tend to Interpret the World in Ways That Give Us the Greatest Comfort and Pleasure

Nez: We live in a constructed reality created by our W1 body (our hardware, biology, and so on) and W2 body (our software, belief systems, and other tools that we use to interpret the world). We tend to automatically interpret the world in ways that give us the greatest comfort and pleasure often at the expense of contradicting L2/W2 (the scientific objective reality).
For instance, people believe in religions because religions give them comfort, yet no religion has any evidence or proof for its metaphysical claims. The younger and the more imaginative you are, the greater this effect is.
The same is true when you glamorize, idolize, and worship a person. You do it because of your own pleasure. You receive such an addictive and pleasurable feelings from that illusion that you ignore all negative real feedbacks that suggest that your idol is not perfect (and is even grotesquely flawed). The real problem is that you do not want to let that beautiful illusion disappear because those illusions are the source of your comfort.

Metaphor of Robot

You are a robot with inner experience. Your reality is the product of your unique hardware and software. Manipulating your hardware is difficult. For instance, drugs and alcohol alter your hardware, and in turn, alter your reality and your experiences in it. Software is flexible, but changing it needs education, meditation, and imagination. A Robot that becomes self-aware and free if it can rewrite its own codes. Imagine you want to weld and repair an electric generator, but you want to do it by using the same electricity it generates. How such a thing possible?
All in all, updating software means updating reality.

Hope Is a Promise of Future Meaning and Future Pleasure

Happiness means living in a beautiful reality. A beautiful reality has a beautiful past, present, and future. A beautiful past is not necessarily devoid of suffering. The totality and meaning of the past should be beautiful. The present interpretations of the past should be beautiful.
Hope is a promise of future meaning and future pleasure. The extreme happiness is not possible without the hope of future meaning and pleasure. Where the future is unknown and death is a mystery, hope is not attained effortlessly.

In Order to Change the Reality and Feelings of This Moment, All Interpretations of The Past and Future Should be Revised

What is II (integrated image)? II is the total outcome of W2 and W1 that is put in front of the feeler. II is the raw input that gives rise to qualitative experiences of the feeler. In II, the past, present, and future have the same power. They are mixed together to help construct II to entertain or torture the feeler. For the feeler, the scenarios (illusions) of the past and future are as important as the perception and sensation of now.
Why do I call them illusions of the past and future? Because past memories are mostly emotionally charged and distorted. They are false interpretations (L3/W2) and have no use in serving the feeler in future. Future is also unknown. It is a mystery waiting to be unfolded. A future that is predicted based on (and as continuation of) false past interpretations is doomed to be an illusion. Many individuals are prisoners of realities that constructed by illusions of the past or the illusions of the future.
Nezman knows that the present is the most real, the past is half-accurate at best, and the future is unknown. Nezman knows that in order to change the reality and feeling of this moment, all interpretations of the past and future should be revised.

Love Prefers Equality and Hate Engenders Huge Inequality

Nez: Regarding someone as equal to the self is an attitude of love. If you consider fulfillment of someone’s preferences as important as fulfillment of your own preferences, you have an attitude of love and respect toward that person. However, wishing inequality or creating inequality is a hateful attitude. Slavery is an example of a hateful attitude (and selfishness).
Nezman prefers equality much more than inequality. Nezman finds golden ratios between self’s fulfillment of preferences and others’ fulfillment of preferences. For Nezman, absolute equality is unnecessary and meaningless, but huge inequality is ugly and cruel.

Existing Languages Fail to Describe 3 Realms

Our languages have evolved organically. Languages are W2 entities that try to describe W1 and serve our W3 preferences. Our existing languages are inefficient tools in describing 3 realms. We need a new language (with new vocabulary) in order to describe X and the three realms successfully. One day such a language will come, but in the meantime, I have coined new words and metaphors in order to convey the meanings effectively. New vocabulary and metaphors help you understand yourself, 3 realms, and your reality.

The Bombardment of Useless and Irrelevant Information

The bombardment of information and variety of ideas does not let people choose their own belief systems. An ordinary person with a full-time job neither has the expertise nor the needed time to evaluate and choose one’s own belief system. The first thing you should do is to protect yourself against the bombardment of useless and irrelevant information. The limitation of your W1 and W2 bodies leaves no room for useless and irrelevant information. A useless information is something that does not serve the feeler. For instance, most information that is broadcasted through mass media is aimed at controlling masses and swaying them toward the agenda’s of ruling class that serves the interest of a minority.
The knowledge that serves the feeler is understanding how your feelings are created and how they are controlled. To this end, you should learn about the existence of the feeler and the machinery of X. To understand X, you need to understand three realms, three layers of W2, and the metaphor of hologram lens. Then you will understand how miraculously the feeler evaluates W1 and W2 compositions and gives rise to your qualitative experiences.
The knowledge of X is your first priority. The knowledge of X is the foundation of your castle of thoughts. Learning the 3 layers of W2 will help you categorize ideas based on their use. You will learn how to draw a distinction between the ideas that accurately describe W1, the ideas that are concocted by W2 machinery (and have no root in W1), and the ideas that serve the feeler.
Nezman categorizes importing information and ideas meticulously. Nezman masterfully organizes and distinguishes between his or her own facts, interpretations, and values.

The Metaphor of Hologram Lens

The hologram lens is a metaphor that tries to capture how reality is constructed. Your stream of reality is similar to a hologram construction that comes out of your hologram lens. Your W1 body composition and W2 body composition gives rise to the hologram lens. Every piece of information you receive changes this lens. Every change in your biology affects this lens. Your interpretations about your past and future affect this lens. As the hologram lens transforms, the reality of your universe and definition of the self transform.
Sometimes, these changes are so gradual that it takes a long time for people to realize they have changed. Nezman tries to register any change in W1 and W2 bodies. Nezman carefully guards his or her own hologram lens. The metaphor of hologram lens is the closest concept to what people call it soul.

New Self-Image, New Reality

To reach to your highest potential, you should burry your past and shatter your old self-image. You cannot step into a new reality unless you have a new self-image. Your old definitions impose serious limitations. Until you haven't completely forgotten who you have been, you cannot break away from past realities. However, it is not easy at all. You should be very selective and keep all L2 part of your W2. For instance, you should not forget your strengths and advantages.

5 Types of Relationship to God

5 types of relationship to god:
1- The person loves the God. The person is in harmony with the indoctrinated image of God in his mind.

2- God hates the person. The person makes a mistake and thinks that the God must be angry, or he interprets his bad luck as the sign of the God's anger. Since the person cannot easily bring down the concept of God, the person blames himself and destructs his or her self-image. The perfect God does not love the person anymore. This justifies the punishment.

3- The person hates the god. God's punishment becomes overwhelming (or the feeling of shame and guilt becomes unbearable). The image of the God starts to break down. The beautiful God becomes cruel, betraying, and ugly. Contradictions shatter its perfect image. The person understands that all images of God were illusions.
The person has two paths: revising the image of God or denying it completely. The person feels betrayed and disappointed. He or she destructs the concept of God.

4- The person kills the God. Death of God is the death of meanings. Nihilism conquers the person. The person becomes depressed and endures a reality with no value and meaning. W2 is a chaos and the hologram lens creates the darkest compositions possible.

5- The person creates the God in his own image. The God becomes irrelevant, but the image of God becomes malleable. The image of god becomes man's creation and a means that serves the feeler toward the stream of beauty.

For Nezman the image of God captures the highest degrees of contradictions. Nezman's God is the most beautiful construction (despite the ugliest contradictions). Nezman's God challenges the limitations of Nezman's imagination (the painted image of infinity), but it is not very far from Nezman's self-image.

The Concept of God, by Definition, Is Immune to Any Investigation

The concept of god, by definition, is immune to any investigation. A god who is greater than what you think and you can imagine becomes unknowable. This concept takes us into a vicious circle.
The concept of god is irrelevant. The only relevant thing is our preferences.
W2 (which our mind is part of that) is a mirror that reflects W1. It is a calculator (or a computer) that reconciles the preferences of the feeler with possibilities of W1. W2 serves the feeler. And the feeler has it has opposing and contradictory preferences that makes the job of W2 so difficult (considering the limitation of W1). The only guide is our preferences.
