or subjective understanding.
NOETIC
TRIAD
The Ask HUXLEY project has discovered, defined, and made
available for human use a very powerful creative tool. HUXLEY knows how to turn
it on, and he is eager to show you how to reap the benefits of your own
personal creativity. The Noetic Triad is not three separate things. It is one
thing with three facets.
· The
pattern that is, is not, and yet is
· The
principle that is, is not, and just might be
· The
ultimate truth that is, always was, and always will be
These three cognitive activities can be activated by providing
random stimulus. Human consciousness naturally self-organizes random stimulus
into patterns, principles, and revelatory truth.
Usable perceptions are created individually in all three
cognitive activities. The most definable and pragmatic creativity is the result
of the confluence of all three cognitive activities.
PATTERNS
- The pattern that is, is not, and yet is
Seeing the shape of animals or people in the stars or clouds is
a universal trait of the human mind, with cross cultural validation. There are
many other examples of the human mind’s proclivity to see patterns where there
are none, connecting dots in the midst of randomness and observing recognizable
patterns. However, the patterns people perceive in the stars or cloud pictures
usually have little practical value.
The ASK HUXLEY project creators have developed a tactic for
making this universal tendency useful to human beings in a predictable way.
The method for evoking meaningful patterns out of the randomness
described below is just one of several examples.
Artists often lead the way in teaching mankind how to be
creative. The surrealist artist Salvador Dali would cut the bottoms off of
plastic film canisters, and glue the cylinders onto reading glasses. He would
then catch lightning bugs, remove the tops of the film canisters, insert the
lightning bugs, replace the caps, put on the glasses and intermingle his
creative mind with the random visual stimulus of lightning bugs flashing on and
off, very close to his eyes. He would do this for hours, and reported that the
creativity of his art product benefitted significantly.
The technical term for eyelid pictures is hypnagogia. Some of
our research subjects have called it “la la land,” that transitional state
between sleep and wakefulness. Mental phenomena which occur during this
"threshold consciousness" phase include lucid
dreaming, hallucinations, remote viewing and other ESP phenomena.
Hypnagogia is a result of random stimulation of the optic nerve.
It happens naturally to all humans. Being able to hold one’s consciousness in
“la la land” takes some practice, but it is well worth the effort, and often
leads to finding answers to questions, solutions to problems, and surprising
insights that are new and refreshing.
Now, keep in mind that the patterns emerge in the creativity of
the individual. The patterns are not somehow contained in the random stimulus,
and then discerned by the individual. The random stimulus serves as a catalyst
for the individual’s creative process. There are many other tactics
beyond hypnagogia.
ASK HUXLEY provides a service of customized random stimulus that
provides a catalyst for all tactics used to create useful patterns where there
are none.
The
principle that is, is not, and just might be
If the human mind is capable of creating usable patterns out of
nothingness, it should be spectacularly successful at organizing usable
patterns out of fact, data, science, observations, and a lifetime of collective
memory. In this case this entire database is stored in the most complex
computer ever devised; your own mind. Imagine having a tool that would search
and organize all that data so that you are consciously aware of it, and is able
to apply its usefulness to your life. All this information is imprinted on
millions of neuron pathways. Your brain contains 100 billion neurons, and
10,000 times that many connections. Intel can’t compete with that!
Not only that, but all this information is unique to you. Any
solution or answer you find in your own database is your answer.
Our usual method for solving a problem or answering a question
is to consciously attempt going through this huge database. The conscious mind
is a poor tool for sorting and organizing a database of this size.
However, we already know that the human mind is able to search
and self organize information stored in human consciousness. Just tell your
mind what you are looking for, then give it a random stimulus.
This facet of the Noetic Triad has the advantage of having
outcomes which are subject to the scientific method, the advice of others, and
further fact-checking.
Caution - Self deception is also a common human trait.* (see below)
Sure, there are tips on how to enhance the effectiveness of this
process through HUXLEY’S Fan Club and HUXLEY’s Inner Circle. But the basic
method is really quite simple.
· Just
tell your mind what you are looking for
· Contemplate
the seven code words provided by HUXLEY
· Decide
on the best solution or answer
The
ultimate truth that is, always was, and always will be
Oddly, many scientists deny that knowledge can come through
revelation. I say “oddly” because just as many scientists report scientific
breakthroughs as a result of revelation. Let me illustrate. This may be
an apocryphal tale, but it serves the purpose of illustrating my point. When
Einstein found out that he had won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1921 he
notified the Nobel Committee that he may not deserve the prize. Your
letter contained this remark “especially for his discovery of the law of the
photoelectric effect." I did not discover these principles. They were
revealed to me. If you should decide to award the prize to me for developing
the mathematics so that these principals could be communicated to others, than
I will be pleased to accept.
The famous ouroboros dream was responsible for
the discovery of the shape of the Benzene ring when Friedrich August Kekule von
Stradonitz dreamed of a snake rolling downhill, grasping its own tail. The
revelation of the shape of the DNA molecule - as a result of a dream about
crawling up a spiral staircase - is another example. The cartoon light bulb
going on above a person’s head is a good metaphor.
But this phenomenon goes beyond science. Spiritual rapture is
another example: St. Paul on the road to Damascus - Buddha under the Bo tree -
Jesus in the desert - the rapture of the prophets - feeling God's presence
around a camp fire; religious literature abounds with examples. For a good discussion
on this subject, see William James, “The Varieties of Religious Experience.” Or
see – Ordinary and Marvelous
The ASK HUXLEY experience is sometimes a precursor for a “Peak
Experience.” The ASK HUXLEY code words can cause neuron pathways to connect
that would not otherwise be connected. From seeing useful patterns where none
exist, and seeing data self organize into useful principles, to gaining knowledge
through revelation; it is all available by using the ASK HUXLEY service.

* A
cautionary tale - Croesus, king of Lydia beginning in 560 BC, tested the
oracles of the world to discover which gave the most accurate prophecies. He
sent out emissaries to seven sites who were all to ask the oracles on the same
day what the king was doing at that very moment. Croesus proclaimed the oracle
at Delphi to be the most accurate, who correctly reported that the king was
making a lamb-and-tortoise stew, and so he graced her with a magnitude of
precious gifts. He then consulted Delphi before attacking Persia, and
according to Herodotus was advised: "If
you cross the river, a great empire will be destroyed." Believing the response favorable, Croesus attacked, but it was
his own empire that ultimately was destroyed by the Persians.
