Four part series on cosmology, consciousness, QM and synchronicity (which holds everything together, very literally).

Hello.

Here is a four part series of article (+intro) explaining a new cosmology, interpretation of QM, theory of consciousness, and explanation as to what this has to do with Jungian synchronicity and "psi".

Part 1 explains why the current mainstream cosmology (Lamba Cold Dark Matter) is every bit as broken as Ptolemaic geocentrism was in the 16th century. It consists of a massive jungle of ad-hoc fixes, and is riddled with paradoxes. I list 25 major problems. I include 2 quantum mechanical problems also (the measurement problem is where it all goes wrong, and is the first thing needing fixing - and no, idealism and panpsychism are not the answer either).

Part 2 is about the non-existent science of consciousness. Materialistic science can't agree on a definition of consciousness, or even whether it exists. How did evolve? What does it do? Official scientific answer: "We have no idea." And yet the resistance to anything other than materialism is huge.

Part 3 explains a new cosmology, QM interpretation and explanation of how consciousness emerges from an underlying neutral realm. This model implies the consciousness and spacetime (phase 2) only emerging 555mya just before the Cambrian Explosion. The previous apparent 12+ billion years of cosmic history only existed in a timeless Platonic superposition (I call this "phase 1").

Part 4 explains what this has got to do with synchronicity. In this model, the phase 1 history of the cosmos is selected (at the phase shift I call psychegenesis) from the Platonic multiverse of all possibilities. From our perspective that means that for that entire 12 billion year history, everything which needed to happen for the evolution of consciousness actually did happen, regardless of how improbable that was. As well as getting rid of all the cosmological fine tuning problems and explaining abiogenesis and psychegenesis (the evolution of consciousness), this is a model for how synchronicity works. Quite literally synchronicity was the mechanism by which consciousness and classical reality were summoned into existence in the first place. Free will is another example of the same sort of process. I therefore reject the the term "supernatural" and replace it with "praeternatural" (for probabilistic supernaturalism like synchronicity) and "hypernatural" (for physics-busting supernaturalism like young earth creationism). Part 4 ends with what I call "the New Epistemic Deal" -- a sort of proposed "peace treaty" between science and mysticism.
