The mankind's social life throughout millions of years has created hardware and software lenses that judges the self from viewpoint of other members or an eye in the sky. This trait has been adaptive (increased fitness to survival) by increasing harmony among members of society, yet it has created great negative feelings for individuals.
The feelings of guilt, shame, and regret are by-product of powerful evolutionary or acquired lenses of super-ego that are constantly judging you. They create an eye in sky or a judging god inside one’s bubble, and the same god judges the person. Such a self-made construct creates the feeling of guilt, shame, and regret, which is comparable to sadism or masochism.

Metaphor of Bubble: Benefits of One Dominant Lens
To create motivation you need a powerful goal lens. A reservoir of desires, frustration, indoctrination (especially in childhood) can create a powerful lens on the surface of one’s bubble that motivate and help the person see everything through that lens (with that kind of end in mind). If you do not have those powerful childhood lenses, you should create your own carrot and stick lenses.
Many successful individuals knew what they want in a very early age. They always have their eyes on the peak of their goal no matter how much distraction they faced. Such focus can facilitate success.

Metaphor of Bubble: Forming a Detached View as a Healthy Escapism
When Le1-Le5 scenarios of future pain begin to lurk inside the bubble, the overall smell inside bubble becomes unbearable. Some people find an escapism in order to run away from Le1-Le5 scenarios of future pain. They develop powerful L1 or L3 lenses and construct new tolerable versions of reality in order to escape the old torturous constructions.
Such lenses make inside the bubble more tolerable, yet the reality constructed by such lenses contradicts W1 state of affairs. In long-term, those constructs become solid realities that may become inescapable prisons themselves. Although superstition, faiths and pseudo-science can provide comfort, harmony, and meaning (as well as beautiful Le-5 scenarios of pleasure), they can cause much more damage in long-term.
For an ordinary person, when inside the bubble becomes intolerable, it also means that outside of the bubble is intolerable. However, Nezman can separate the contents of the bubble from W1 external. Instead of escapism, Nezman suspenses his or her reality and looks at W1 through accurate L2 lenses.
Developing a detached view of outside bubble without any L1 or L3 lenses (even erasing the self-image) is the first step to overhaul old lenses and turn off the old reality. One should start to be as objective as one can be. Nezman can look at the self and the bubble from the detached viewpoint of an eye in the sky (out of the bubble).
After Nezman gains control of L1, L2, and L3 lenses, his or her interpretations lead to a beautiful reality no matter what is happening in W1.

Metaphor of Bubble: A Never-ending Synthesis Leads to Meaninglessness
A lot of synthesis is happening inside the bubble. A variety of lenses (formed in different times) interact with each other in order to create II (integrated image as I call it) and the feeler’s feelings.
when a new input from a lens is added to the content of the bubble, a synthesis begins, and a smell and feeling inside the bubble created. The smell and feeling inside the bubble is the closest thing to the definition of your soul. Your soul is a dynamic entity that evolves as compositions are incorporated on the inner surface of the bubble. In other words, the soul is the whole of meanings, feelings, memories, lenses, and self-image inside the bubble. As the never-ending synthesis continues inside the bubble, your soul evolves.
The feeler is the most mysterious entity (we may never fully understand the feeler). The feeler soon becomes number old compositions, it wants novelty. As a new composition synthesized and get incorporated, it gradually loses its novelty, and other compositions become attractive. This never-ending synthesis makes the feeler insensitive to an old composition. The feeler plus a composition plus time equals meaninglessness. Never-ending synthesis and inevitable change of values.

Metaphor of Bubble: Illusion of Infinity
The concept of infinity is an illusion created inside the bubble.
Bubble is like a sphere that its wall composed of patches of lenses and mirrors. Impressions on the inner surface of the bubble (that are felt by the feeler) are interpretation of W1 compositions outside of the bubble through the relative lenses.
Bubble can reduce complexity of a W1 composition. For instance, a 2-dimensional image of of a 3-dimensional object can be formed on the inner surface of this bubble.
The inner surface of the bubble can also extend dimensions (especially the 4th dimension of time) much beyond W1 state of affairs. The bubble can construct eternal scenarios of pain and pleasure, but they do not exist in ever-changing W1. Running after infinite can become a serious problem, when nothing is enough.
In fact, bubble can work like a double-edged sword. Level 5 scenarios of pleasure and pain can serve us or destroy us.

Metaphor of Bubble: Contradictions
Inside of the bubble is full of contradictions. Numerous lenses with different values are competing side by side and construct contradictory realities. Having multiple powerful lenses can create fluctuations in the constructed reality and person's mood.

Metaphor of Bubble: The Meaning Inside the Bubble Is Local and Relative
The meaning inside the bubble is local and relative. The feeler at the center of the bubble feels a composition on the inner surface of bubble which is the outcome of all lenses and mirrors on the wall of the bubble.
To create a composition inside the bubble, some contrasting parts are needed. The contrast experienced inside the bubble is relative to the components of the composition. On a white surface, a small dark spot is much more noticeable than a larger spot on a dark background.
As the viewpoint changes, the meaning of a composition changes. All interpretations inside the bubble are relative. If we consider the smallest window (1), most of the surface is red. If we look at a bigger window (2), most of window becomes white. If we expand our view and look at a bigger window (3), again most of the window becomes red. The largest window (4) has more white. We see that we cannot correctly evaluate a composition without knowing everything and seeing the whole picture. Feeler’s compositions are always local and incomplete.
Metaphor of Bubble: Perspectivism
Perspectivism inside the bubble:
Values exist only inside the bubble. There are no values outside of the bubble. The feeler feels the values inside the bubble. Values and meanings are the smell of W1 and W2 compositions inside the bubble, and without a spectator no meaning, value, or preference would exist.
Metaphor of Bubble: Evolutionary Preferences
Our evolutionary W1 body hardware (including our biology) contributes a lot to how we create meanings inside the bubble. Your taste is not an absolute thing. It is the product of millions years of evolution. For a vulture, a carrion' putrid and pungent smell is the most attractive and beautiful thing.
Our acquired W2 body (including our psychology) also affects our interpretations. Whatever is attributed to or associated with pleasure is good and beautiful, and whatever is attributed to or associated with pain is bad and ugly.

Metaphor of Bubble: Definition
Everyone lives inside his own personal bubble. This spherical bubble has the feeler in the center. The surface of this bubble works like a lens. The wall of the bubble constructed of different patches of lenses that are formed in different times in your life. From inside the bubble, we look at the indifferent states of affairs in W1. Inside the bubble is the machinery that creates meanings for the feeler (while outside the bubble is meaningless and indifferent. Good and bad, as wells as beauty and ugliness is defined inside the bubble. Whatever we see and feel happens inside this bubble, but we hardly can separate our experience from what is out there. If you live in a hell, the hell is inside the bubble, and not outside. If you live in a heaven, the heaven is inside your bubble.

The Balance Between 3 Layers of W2
The balance between L2 (W1 outcome-oriented beliefs) and L1 and L3 (feel-good beliefs):
L2 lenses aim at W1 success. Knowing the laws of W1 (maintaining an accurate L2) helps you gain control over W1 realm (including W1 external events, people, and your own W1 body). L2 is rather rigid, and you needs to update an accurate model of W1 in order to gain W1 success (L2 lenses are result-oriented).
On the contrary, L1 and L3 layers are arbitrary and open to interpretation. In other words, you can choose your own L1 and L3 beliefs. L1 and L3 lenses are aimed at providing with comfort, pleasure, and meaning. L1 lenses describe your relationship to metaphysics (your ideology, definition of god, and your interpretation of unknown universe), and L3 lenses deal with your self-image, subjective and intuitive interpretations about events and people, your W1 tastes that rooted in your biology, and etc.
L1 and L3 beliefs should provide you with pleasure and meaning while they do not contradict L2. Nezman chooses L1 and L3 beliefs that gives him or her both W1 advantages and the most beautiful experiences. Nezman knows that the ultimate goal of W2 (as well as three layers) is to serve the feeler.

L1 Layer of W2
L1 Layer (Metaphysical image/God image):
Similar to L3, L1 layer answers why questions. The content of L1 layer provides (hypothesizes) answers to questions that L2 layer (including science) has no authority to provide any answers.
L1 concocts future scenarios that are fantastic and detached from L2. This scenarios can even be eternal.
L1 lenses interpret the blank part of L2 (which is a huge portion of it). The greatness of unknown in L2 gives L1 freedom to create scenarios that extend beyond time and space, and depict great images of eternal pain and pleasure (which can create the most pleasurable or painful constructs). Considering the power of mass illusion to them, these lenses can be very powerful.

L3 Layer of W2
L3 Layer (emotional image, intuition Layer):
L3 thoughts root in W1 body (instincts), memories of past emotions and thoughts, and scenarios of future. L3 thoughts interpret W1 in whatever way they want (they can even contradict W1 L2). The content of this layer answers why questions without knowing the answer and without relying on external W1 evidence (L2 layer). Since L3 lenses are based on thoughts that are detached from W1 (and L2), they can create present and future scenarios and images of great pain or enormous pleasure. Although such scenarios of pleasure or pain cannot be materialized in W1, they are powerful enough to construct solid beautiful or torturous realities for individuals. The power of W3 lenses is a double-edged sword.
Self-image is a L3 lens. What you think about yourself in ways that is detached from W1 reality. For instance, a pop stars in the zenith of popularity, fame, wealth, and success may suffer of a nightmarish self-image. He may hate himself or herself while masses are worshiping him or her.
Being detached from W1 reality can also provide escapism when the outcome of hologram lens becomes intolerable. A feeler-serving W3 lens may turn the greatest external suffering into a tolerable reality (read Viktor Frankl story). All in all, because of W3 lenses, the image of pleasurable or painful event can be more pleasurable or painful than the event itself.

L2 Layer of W2 Is Disected
L2 Layer (the scientific image):
L2 is not synonymous with scientific knowledge, but it is rather close to it. Perhaps L2 content is provided by a philosophical approach (that science provides only a portion of it). L2 layer tries to provide the most descriptive and predictive knowledge about W1, W2, and W3, yet it is only a successful hypothesis, which is constantly revised. This layer answers how, what, when, and where questions. There are some serious limitations for the content of this layer (that I will address extensively later).
A. Certain mathematics rules W1 and consequently rules L2 layer, yet L2 layer is far from being intelligible enough. Common sense is accumulation of observable W1 laws that form certain W2 lenses, yet W1 follows different laws (and mathematics) in different scales that defies common sense. This shows that W1 laws are not fully and easily ineligible. Moreover, discovering deterministic laws of time and space (and matter and energy) do not solve their fundamental mysteries.
B. An example in order to clarify the importance of mathematics in determining whether a thought belongs to L2 or not: A small missile can destroy a house, but it does not have enough destructive power to destroy a planet . If you have an accurate estimate of the destructive power of this missile, your L2 is correct. In other words, your thinking lies in layer 2 or in L2 territory. However, if you think (or believe) that the missile can destroy the sun, your thought belongs to L3 or L1. L2 content corresponds to W1 reality, but L1 and L3 layers do not. We are surrounded by mysteries in an unknown world, yet L2 lenses give rise to constructs that are closer to W1 reality.
C. Our common sense "assumes" that a principle of uniformity applies to laws of nature. We assume sun will rise tomorrow because it rose every day in the past (yet in core it is an assumption, and there is no way to make sure 100% that it will rise tomorrow). Our Knowledge about W1 is acquired gradually and organically since childhood. Every thing we know about W1 gives rise to our solid construct reality. Our belief system, memory of past emotions, desires, and preferences all affect L2 layer and this construct.
D. We do not know what being itself is. Not knowing what being is, we cannot determine if something is real or unreal. Establishing some objective criteria to determine whether something is real or not will fail because everything we have in W2 about that so-called objective reality is mind-dependent. This means the mission of science as to present accurately what is out there in W1 is doomed to inaccuracy (if not failure) because everything about those so-called accurate representations are mind-dependent and subjective in a sense.
Although L2 can give rise to a construct that are more predictive, yet L2 constructs are incomplete, biased, and limited construct of W1. L2 constructs can never be completely objective because our hardware imposes some limitation on observation. What we register may only be a partial impression of the thing in itself. Regarding science as an objective knowledge is a grave mistake because we are erasing the knower, its qualities, its limitation, and its unique way of construction from X equation. In an ocean of uncertainty, science is a means or tool to serve the feeler. Science is only a method of gaining power and control for the feeler's desires' ends.

3 Layers of W2 as a Melting Pot
The concepts of three realms (W1, W2, and W3), as well as 3 layers of W2 are rather simple, yet the implications of these concepts are complex. Understanding the machinery of X as a whole needs understanding of all these basic concepts.
W2 is the place that all interpretations and beliefs about everything form. W2 is like a melting pot, in which a variety of ingredients are constantly interacting with each other. The content of W2 can be categorized in 3 layers. W2 ingredients (the content of three layers) are affected by input from W1 body (such as ongoing stream of sensations and sensory inputs originating from W1 body, as well as W3 input (such as memory of past emotions and feelings).

There Is No Absolute and Universal Morality
There is no universal morality. Everyone lives in his or her personal universe with his or her own preferences. Morality is a part of aesthetics, and aesthetics is organization and categorization of a person's hierarchy of preferences.
There is common morality though. Having common preferences (due to similar W1 and W2 bodies) leads to having similar morality. Morality becomes an informal social contract to optimize the fulfillment of the preferences of masses. While having common morality makes people more predictable at the expense of suppressing their desires and preferences.

Sciences in L2 Have 3 Focuses: W1, W2, or W3
Sciences belong to L2 layer (in W2), and they can have 3 focuses: W1, W2, or W3.
L2 with focus on understanding and serving W1: Sciences like physics, chemistry, biology, and so on are trying to understand W1 compositions, including W1 body. Survival and gaining W1 control are the main goal of these sciences.
L2 with focus on understanding and serving W2: Sciences such as psychology, sociology, and politics are trying to understand W2 of individuals (and W2 of masses) in order to control them toward the desired W3 preferences.
L2 with focus on understanding and serving W3: Sciences that try to make sense of arts and aesthetics explore how preferences are formed and met. They are looking to find ways to entertain and satisfy the feeler.

A Scientist Is an Ultimate Arms Maker
Since the appearance of life on Earth, an arms-race has been going on among living beings. Animals began to form a more accurate model of W1 as they developed more powerful sensory organs (in order to register what is happening in W1) and thinking brain (in order to make sense what that sensory input means for their survival and reproduction). Thinking in L2 territory (as well as science) is the ultimate weapon that enabled humans to conquer the earth and win that evolutionary arms-race. A scientist is an ultimate arms maker. Having an accurate L2 is the first and most important step toward control.

Categorization of People Based on How They Prioritize their 3 Layers.
People whose L2 layer prevails. L2 has priority over L3 and L1 for the scientist, atheist, and pragmatic. They observe, measure, and deduct based on common sense. They look outward in order to know W1, yet most are unaware of the shortcomings of L2.
People whose L1 layer prevails. L1 has priority over L2 and L3 for the dogmatic religious person. Most followers of faith belong to this group.
People whose L3 layer prevails. L3 has priority over L2 and L1 for an artist, a musician, or an extremely emotional person (Someone whose powerful imagination can create a strong personal reality far away from L2 reality).
Nezman belongs to the fourth category. Later I will explain why Nezman belongs to this category and what combination of L3 and L1 provide Nezman with the highest qualitative experiences, yet I will mention some Nezman’s guidelines here.
Guidelines:
- L2 without any preconception, bias, and prior judgement should be discovered and updated.
- L3 and L1 should not contradict L2. As L2 updates, the L1 and L3 should change to remain harmonious to L2. The direction of the arrow of change is from L2 toward L1 and L3.
- Since almost always the most unpleasant outcome of L4 (W3) can be adjusted by the composition of W1 body and W2 body; therefore, life and being alive is a value. People can pursue their happiness and their highest qualitative experiences by controlling their own reality.
- Only L3 and L1 content that serve survival and the feeling of the feeler are valuable. Firstly, the feeler should exist (and survive), and secondly it should be served.
- L1 is irrelevant, arbitrary, and completely personal and subjective.
- Eventually L3 and L1 are isolated islands that connect to W1 through L2. Data and sensations pass through L2 to L1 and L3. This information is processed by L1 and L3 to create lenses and construct a reality full of optimism, pessimism, exaggeration, pleasure, and pain. These L1 and L3 lenses define present and future. They promise certain futures.
- To understand these concepts one needs to let one’s imagination fly through abstraction.

In a World That Death Is Inevitable and Inscapable, Fear Is Meaningless
In a world that death is inevitable and inscapable, fear is meaningless.
Death or fear of death (or the mystery of afterlife) is the main source of fear. Afterlife is a concept that defines many Le5 scenarios of pain and suffering. However, in W1 realm nothing is eternal. In a changing world, only Le4 scenarios exist. This means W1 can only provide limited pleasure and pain. Nevertheless, W2 can create the illusion of eternal pleasure and pain in your mind. Knowing these facts will make fear meaningless. The fear of Le5 scenarios of pain, as well as fear of loss of Le5 scenarios of pleasure, is nothing more than an illusion. When scenarios of future pain and suffering occupy your hologram lens, you feel fear. Understanding X can help people realize that the hell they are living in is a self-made construction. For Nezman, fear is an alarm that shows him or her that the scenarios of future pain or loss are creeping into hologram lens.
Those who were fearful of future and acted to alter the future had a better chance of survival through the course of evolution, yet modern humans (compared to their ancestors) spend much more time on thinking about improbable scenarios of future pain and pleasure. No wonder that every thinker needs to learn Nez’s thinking discipline in order to break free from illusions.

A person commits suicide to end an intolerable reality. Such an intolerable reality usually roots in some present and future scenarios of pain, suffering, and meaninglessness. The fear of such future seems more daunting than death itself.
Death results in having no constructed reality and no future. In fact, the person is so afraid of future scenarios of pain (and lives in a hellish constructed reality) that he prefers death and wants to have no reality at all. Ironically, it is the existence of death that makes many of scenarios of future ugly or meaningless (and constructed realities intolerable), yet the person runs toward death to end his hellish reality.
Life gives you an opportunity to construct any reality, and death turns off the machine that constructs realities. It is more like TV channels. One, instead of changing an intolerable channel, destroys the TV. In fact, such a person is so much afraid of what is shown in one channel that he or she decides to destroy the TV itself.
Nezman Knows that hellish reality is just one self-constructed reality among many possible ones. Nezman easily switches channel by changing his or her W1 and W2 bodies.

As We Move from W1 Toward W3, the Level of Mystery Increases
W1 is unknown (or perhaps unknowable in essence), yet we can form impressions and build a W2 model of W1. W1 can be described in W2 according to some assumptions and theories. W2 itself is also described in W2. How odd is this? The observer and the observed are both W2 entities. W2 is more indescribable than W1. W3 is the most mysterious, yet the most real. It is experienced and nothing can really describe it other than the experience itself.

Personal Religion Versus Mass Religion
A personal religion is an attitude toward the unknown universe. It determines your feelings, actions, and expectations about the future. It is a series of arbitrary L1 lenses that shape the meaning of life, death, and afterlife for you. Whereas, an organized religion is a technology to control masses' ways of thinking, feelings, and actions. It is a technology that has brought harmony or violence depending on the interpretations of the masters of this technology (clergies and mullas) throughout history.

Meditation
X is an automatic process, in which W1 and W2 bodies give rise to your stream of realities. There are times that the window of attention (which is the part of W2 contributing most to hologram lens) is filled with scenarios of pain, meaninglessness, or ugliness. Meditation is a tool to empty the window of attention, in order to clean W2 body of such scenarios. In the metaphor of bubble, meditation acts as if it washes the inner surface of bubble and erases ugly future scenarios.
To temporarily get rid of their intolerable reality, some people use drugs, drink alcohol, or have sex. However, such alternatives cause damage to W1 body.

Man’s Deep Internal Conflicts
Having preference is the essence of existence. Having preference causes movement and change. Having preference is also the essence of life. A person’s preferences may root in W1 compositions or W2 compositions. There was a time that mankind would mainly follow his own instincts, and these instincts ruled his preferences. In Darwinian sense, those preferences that randomly led to survival passed through the genetic make-up of survivors to their offsprings. However, when thinking flourished by the invention of language, W2 realm created its own preferences. The instincts pushed into the subconscious level, and the W2 preference begin to contradict W1 preferences through elaborate W2 justifications. This is the point that man becomes a confused creature with serious internal crises. His instincts (W1 preferences) clashed with his W2 preferences.
