Book Description
In order to comprehend the vastness and depth of the universe in which we are an expression, it is essential to understand the nature of awareness itself. Awareness turns out to be a singularity of inseparable distinctions: any aspect of the universe as content to any perceiving being as a context of awareness, while distinct, is not separable from its context, and while inseparable, is not indistinctly of one nature with its context. Now both contemporary physics and mystical theology reveal essential singularities and both thrive and develop by various forms of paradox, although expressed in different forms. It is the author's contention that both of these singularities are expressions of the root singularity of awareness itself, meaning that all subjective-spiritual states and objective space-time modalities are interwoven in a nonlinear and nonlocal way, revealing a vast and awesome multidimensional universe that is far different from bringing science and religion together as two individually developed disciplines sharing some common ground. What is required and here presented is an intrinsic dynamic of awareness revealing far ranging levels of singularity through methodology called here a "triune monadology" based on a logic of paradox.

ISBN: 039956277X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The noted inventor and futurist’s successor to his landmark book The Singularity Is Near explores how technology will transform the human race in the decades to come Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil’s The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have spawned a worldwide movement. Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have largely come true, with concepts like AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology now widely familiar to the public. In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and "After Life" technology, which aims to virtually revive deceased individuals through a combination of their data and DNA. The culmination of six decades of research on artificial intelligence, The Singularity Is Nearer is Ray Kurzweil’s crowning contribution to the story of this science and the revolution that is to come.

Pages : 296
Book Description
The author has spent his life in an obsessive quest to understand the nature of reality and the purpose of existence. Many would say this is a symptom of Asperger s syndrome, a high functioning form of autism. While I certainly fit this profile I believe there is a different more amazing reason. If an individual actualizes their potential in this space-time it is also actualized in the Singularity the space-less, time-less part of the dual universe at the quantum level. Each step of my life has led to find the answers because in the Singularity I had already found them. Here are the answers to God, the universe, and everything, I give them to you now because you are in desperate need of them, do with them what you will. Buy the book or not, read the book or not, I do not care, for I have completed my task and fulfilled my destiny, and that is all that matters. But if you do read the book be prepared for a remarkable vision of the nature of reality, and a magnificent purpose of existence illustrated with poetry and painting.

Pages : 356
Book Description
In a technologically suppressed future, information demands to be free in the debut novel from Hugo Award-winning author Charlie Stross. In the twenty-first century, life as we know it changed. Faster-than-light travel was perfected, and the Eschaton, a superhuman artificial intelligence, was born. Four hundred years later, the far-flung colonies that arose as a result of these events—scattered over three thousand years of time and a thousand parsecs of space—are beginning to rediscover their origins. The New Republic is one such colony. It has existed for centuries in self-imposed isolation, rejecting all but the most basic technology. Now, under attack by a devastating information plague, the colony must reach out to Earth for help. A battle fleet is dispatched, streaking across the stars to the rescue. But things are not what they seem—secret agendas and ulterior motives abound, both aboard the ship and on the ground. And watching over it all is the Eschaton, which has its own very definite ideas about the outcome...

Singularity Rising
Author: James D. Miller
Publisher: BenBella Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1936661780
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
In Ray Kurzweil's New York Times bestseller The Singularity is Near, the futurist and entrepreneur describes the Singularity, a likely future utterly different than anything we can imagine. The Singularity is triggered by the tremendous growth of human and computing intelligence that is an almost inevitable outcome of Moore's Law. Since the book's publication, the coming of the Singularity is now eagerly anticipated by many of the leading thinkers in Silicon Valley, from PayPal mastermind Peter Thiel to Google co-founder Larry Page. The formation of the Singularity University, and the huge popularity of the Singularity website kurzweilai.com, speak to the importance of this intellectual movement. But what about the average person? How will the Singularity affect our daily lives—our jobs, our families, and our wealth? Singularity Rising: Surviving and Thriving in a Smarter, Richer, and More Dangerous World focuses on the implications of a future society faced with an abundance of human and artificial intelligence. James D. Miller, an economics professor and popular speaker on the Singularity, reveals how natural selection has been increasing human intelligence over the past few thousand years and speculates on how intelligence enhancements will shape civilization over the next forty years. Miller considers several possible scenarios in this coming singularity: • A merger of man and machine making society fantastically wealthy and nearly immortal • Competition with billions of cheap AIs drive human wages to almost nothing while making investors rich • Businesses rethink investment decisions to take into account an expected future period of intense creative destruction • Inequality drops worldwide as technologies mitigate the cognitive cost of living in impoverished environments • Drugs designed to fight Alzheimer's disease and keep soldiers alert on battlefields have the fortunate side effect of increasing all of their users' IQs, which, in turn, adds a percentage points to worldwide economic growth Singularity Rising offers predictions about the economic implications for a future of widely expanding intelligence and practical career and investment advice on flourishing on the way to the Singularity.

The Nature and Purpose of Reality
Author: Gary O Nickolaus
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1664133291
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
This book attempts to interpret the nature of reality as it is concurrently described by quantum physics, but its concern is that which cannot be described with physics or mathematics, it is about the first fraction of a second after the big bang when all physics and mathematics breaks down, a big bang that was not a onetime occurrence but is rather an ongoing activity, it is about the Planck length and Planck time where no measurements can be taken, no observations can be made and deductive reasoning and subconscious awareness is our only means of understanding. It is about the dual nature of reality described in Quantum Physics and interpreted by Theology. It attempts to define how the finite and infinite combine to complete the purpose of the Absolute Reality of the Singularity. It attempts to describe the nature of reality as a mosaic in which all the concepts fit together to form an Absolute Reality that has meaning and that has purpose, where God is not an abstract principle or a separate being but is rather an integral part of the nature of Physics which is the nature of God. It attempts to explain the concepts that have been demonstrated by scientific experimentation in a way to match these observations with that which we have previously assigned to theology and God. All incorporated as the nature of existence and as such integral parts of Quantum Physics and Theology. Physics is the study of the nature of our spacetime; however, Quantum Physics describes limits beyond which our science and math have no meaning. The physics of spacetime is related to the physics of the finite. While our physics can only describe with certainty the nature of spacetime extrapolations can be made as to the nature of the quantum wave as it exists in the infinite Singularity. God cannot be separated from the physics for He is the Physics. He is the nature and purpose of reality. The dual nature of the universe demonstrated in quantum physics describes spacetime as a projection of the quantum probability wave. With the actualization of the probability wave into spacetime all that we know is created. How is this spacetime created? How does the creation of spacetime form the attributes of this universe? These are the questions Quantum Physic attempts to answer, but more importantly; what is the purpose of spacetime? and what is the function of conscious beings within that purpose? That question has been regulated to philosophy and theology, but the answers are demonstrated in physics.

Non-Material Logic
Author: ray morose
Publisher: Ocean View Publications
ISBN: 0958103143
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Non-Material Logic ‘We cannot know where we are headed if we do not know where we are from’ At some juncture in most people’s lives, they will question their existence with varying degrees of intensity, such as, ‘Who am I?’, ‘What happens to me when I die?’ and ‘What is my purpose in life’? Or something along similar lines. The problem with finding answers to those questions is that they will discover most answers are restricted to preexisting beliefs and constructs using materially developed language to define what is non-material. That does not necessarily make those beliefs and constructs wrong, but their material construction can limit them. Consequently, the book Non-Material Logic develops a language compatible with both divergent language forms by delineating how humans have a non-material component that gives ‘life’ to their material life. Consequently, the book is designed to demonstrate the existence of a non-material Personal Source-of-Creation, logically and experientially, as ‘I Am That, I Am’ self-aware First-Manifest. The ‘I Am’ describes the First-Manifest’s non-material Personal existence. And the ‘I Am That’ expresses the Living-Essence of that Life as a Nature. The book then proceeds to logically confirm the following. 1- Can the Living-Essence of the First-Manifest’s Nature be personally experienced using non-material logic? Absolutely. 2- Can non-material logic depict how the non-material energy of the First-Manifest transforms into material energy to create the universe? Absolutely. 3- Can non-material logic establish a logically formed but experienceable pathway to demonstrate how an individual can transition beyond an earthly existence? Absolutely. 4- Can the delineated processes, developed using non-material logic, be applied to daily life? Absolutely. Because it defines a personal purpose for your existence, it reveals a directional certainty used to develop ethical practices founded on a self-created moral foundation that, in some manner, will benefit everyone. Accordingly, it takes a considerable amount of exploratory information to reach a logically formed experientially verifiable conclusion to confirm that humans can never be independent or isolated because humans, knowingly or not, are perpetually non-materially connected to the Source-of-Creation. And to discover that Source, the book begins at absolute zero, where all that existed was infinity and nothing else. From that position, without using beliefs or constructs, the book logically defines how a Source-of-Creation emerged from infinity, what that Source is, and how it functions. Then, it proceeds to explain the non-material Structure of that Source is non-materially reflectively used to create the non-material, and so invisible, structure of our material biology. The book is a new vision of personal existence without relying on constructs or beliefs to define it. Everything within it is logically formed and contains experiential processes to confirm the logic, revealing the meaning and purpose of personal existence. It will support the development of an individual’s self-worth, forming the foundation for a stabilized self-image with a heart-centered view of humanity. In this manner, you create meaning and value for yourself and your society. When mutual value exists, you have unveiled a new life within the old. And the directional intent of the book is to provide supportive processes for discovering that new life. * *
