This week we seem to be considering labels (labelling ourselves and others, as well as receiving labels from others). Can we experience the play of labelling without needing to react? In other words, can we play the game of being labelled as a someone, while knowing the JOY of not ever being or becoming a someone? Any experiences to share?
I was thinking about the labels we put upon ourselves. Or better, which has been put onto us after our birth.
Before attending the online meeting a window box popup appeared with the question to fill in the name (label) of who I am.
From that moment on I realized that everybody attending the meeting had to fill in their own label before the meeting could start.
I also realized that behind my flatscreen there were several people looking at me while I was sitting in front of mine looking at them.
We were connected! And when the meeting ended and everybody turned off their flatscreens the connection seemed to be lost.
But the thing is that our connection can never be switched off. Everybody goes their 'own' way but there is actually only one interconnected way, it's like a living augmented book, always evolving, always connected. Our labels are classical information and we are quantum beings living in the classical world. Everything is intertwined or entangled and as soon as you start to communicate about it it loses this interconnection and we experience the past and future. Past and future only exist in the classical world of language but not in the quantum world. In the quantum world the connection remains and evolves from the everlasting fleeting present moment. Like a wave becoming a particle. As soon as you drop the classical self you can experience the interconnectedness with everything around 'yourself'. The term 'around' is also classical information. Every word in every language is classical information. Artificial information (AI) is classical information. AI has no feelings like a human being has. AI has no consciousness like a human being has. AI and 'the self' are classical islands in the sea of language. But ego-consciousness is an island in a sea of consciousness. There is a vast field of consciousness where we can tap into with the help of our human consciousness. The word/term quantum computer isn't right because a computer can never be quantum. We (LAB) will use AI to see if it can come up with a pattern within the words we use to communicate with each other. AI has the capacity to oversee and process a lot of data (classical information) in a very short notice and maybe find correlations but it will never have the capacity to feel and transcend itself. AI can never transcend the self (classical information) because it's only made of classical information.
I'm amazed that the above words came into being by using my capacity to think and by using 'my' body/brain complex. Or is the vast field of consciousness trying to get something across to evolve our human perception in the world of consciousness? If we are able to transcend the self our whole world will change. The change will be for the better because what I do to 'you' I do to 'myself'. The realization of no self and of non-duality is the key to love. Not the love of self but the love for life, the Uni-verse.
Another question popped up; classical information originates from the quantum field, is it possible to return to the quantum field by using classical information? Like a feedback loop, I think this might be possible, food for thought...
