Psychosis & Mind, Determinism & Free Will, and Parallel Universes in the Multiverse?

Psychosis may be described and conceptualized as an over-identification with or the invasion of the personal unconscious (Freud) and/or the collective unconscious (Jung) into (waking states) of consciousness. This interpretive model of psychosis’ characteristics is the invasion and flooding of conscious mind with unconscious mind (Bateson).

In circular dialectics, the consciousness informs the personal subconscious/unconscious, and the collective unconscious informs the consciousness.

This universe which we inhabit is lawful – i.e. it is deterministic cause and effect, precluding free will. However, there could be ‘parallel’ universes in the multiverse which allow for free will – choice and an ensuing battle between a somewhat Manichaean conception of good versus evil but with a mixture of both all as embodied – in a power-quest of all individuals. This may be connected to our deterministic universe via and connected to the collective unconscious, particularly manifesting in dreams and altered states of consciousness, and perhaps informing some waking states of conscious through intuitive knowledge gleaned from a healthy pineal gland ‘third eye’ connective consciousness-‘antenna’.

Attached to the above model of universes with different modes of conduct for individuals and their agencies is my theory of surplus power or energy. Certain kinds of knowledge, being, symbolic powers, bravery, courage, altruistic risk-taking, compassion and with-suffering, all may work to produce a surplus. This surplus power or energy is then paid forward to a parallel universe in the multiverse. Many of us, to varying degrees, may have been channeling energy off-world, to a parallel universe, through knowledge production and esoteric karmic overlay in thought and deed.

The aligning of symbolism and synchronicity would be particularly potent in soliciting a surplus paid forward off-world.

Surplus power of an individual is paid as a dividend to the self in another universe ‘parallel’ to it.

If the above theories hold true – and I acknowledge they are empirically unverifiable – then there would be the need for the reconciling and balancing of immediate on-world individualist power generation and/versus off-world power consolidation.

These theories are informed by the many great human religions: it theorizes an afterlife as existence in different universes that could be considered ‘parallel’. This is a kind of reincarnation – not of a different species or a different human individual, but of an adult individual in their mature prime, perhaps without ageing.

Some universes in the multiverse may go extinct and others born anew.

Karma banking and connective (‘ecological’) knowledge acquisition and production will ensure a better life in this world for certain, but it may also serve us beyond the sensory information our brains process on-world in the universe as we know it!
