_h1 {i free angelic reflections} | [[french version|?view=anges]]

_p I like Angels.

_p What characterizes a {b living being} - man, animal, vegetable, ... - is {b the awareness} that he has, throughout his life, billions of information that pass through his body, sounds, images, heat and cold, tastes and smells, and many other things more or less perceived. We are used to believe that these billions of information are piled up in our body envelope, and in particular in the brain, and we call that {b memory}. Each one would have thus in oneself its memory, a whole of information stored in billions of neurons and that we would share more or less painfully by the intermediary of a multitude of words, gestures and rules, assembled in languages, the Sumerian, the Latin, the Catalan, the slang, ... the maths, the [[lambda calcul|https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-calcul]].

_p I make the hypothesis that these billions of information {b only pass} in our body to go quickly to take refuge in a vast ocean distinct from our material universe. A parallel space, conjugated, in which time is frozen forever. Each of us is permanently and {i almost} privately connected to it, having access only to what has passed through him, signed by him, protected by a code (DNA?), which would act as a unique key.

_p I join the concept of [[noosphere|https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noosphère]] developed by Teilhard de Chardin, the universe of {b ideas}, by adding the hypothesis that each living being is connected to it "in real time", that his thought is in this universe and not in his cranial box and more globally in his bodily envelope, reduced to the state of transmitter-receiver ensuring the permanent interface with the material environment. I try to give substance to the abstract concept of noosphere, to formalize it in the manner of relativistic space-time. More precisely:
{blockquote {@ style="transform:rotate(-2deg)"}
{b Caution, for geeks only} : {i This space could be the conjugate of ours. According to Special Relativity the signature of the metric of our four-dimensional space is {code [1 1 1 i]}, three real spatial dimensions and one imaginary temporal dimension. We could think that the one of the conjugate space is {code [i i i 1]}, which would give to the couple formed by our space and the conjugate a totally symmetrical signature {code [x y z t]}, with four complex dimensions. The Complex Relativity of which [[Jean-Emile Charon|https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-%C3%89mile_Charon]], a slightly crazy physicist, a real one, had dreamed 
}}

_p If the hypothesis of a parallel universe seems absurd to you, you should know that this is how the Internet works, the "cloud" is nothing else and it is real. Reduced to a pale copy of the noosphere consubstantial with the world of the living.

_p It is therefore only a hypothesis, refutable, (it is not a dogma), and operational in the sense that it offers a reading grid, to analyze and approach reasonably many phenomena described as {i paranormal} because inexplicable by reason and too often the plaything of charlatans. Thus, we can talk in a simple, but not simplistic way, about some subjects considered {b sulphurous} such as telepathy, conversations with the dead, with animals, with plants, life after death, reincarnation, near-death experiences, comas, dreams, premonitions, and also "channel" people, mediums, prodigious calculators, autistic people, guardian angels, hell and heaven and even God while we are at it. Not to mention water memory, homeopathy, psychoanalysis, geniuses and madmen.

_p Living beings are characterized by their ability to acquire information, to capture it, to transform it and to memorize it. It is believed that the perception of time is intimately linked to the speed of information processing. Time is frozen for any organism not equipped to process information. We can therefore say that a stone - which is obviously not equipped to process information - is not aware of the passage of time and therefore cannot be considered a living organism. At the other end of the spectrum, God, if he exists, is supposed to possess all the information in the universe, and therefore acquires none, he has no awareness of any time flow. And if we pursue the reasoning to the extreme, God is not a living being, he does not exist. The living beings are somewhere between these two extremes. Men of course, but also bees, blobs, microbes, viruses, trees, radishes, computers, a jazz band, hairdressers and of course ... {i the lambda calculus}.

_p All in constant interaction with a common goal: "{i build the most harmonious, universal and timeless cathedral of information, made of sound and light.}"

_p Another thing that comes to mind. At birth, the child has no language and is not equipped to process the information that falls on him, that passes through him. He therefore has no perception of the passage of time. It will take time for him to acquire a language, the years of childhood are very long. In adulthood he will have all the tools in hand, he will devour information and time will flow at great speed. {i We don't see time passing}, they say. But, good news, old age comes to calm the game, inexorably destroying the "peripherals", slowing down the processing of information and the perception of the passage of time. Except in the case of accidents, the old man is not aware of his death, the time he perceives freezes before his body turns to dust. In short, at birth time is frozen, then it starts to flow faster and faster and finally it slows down and finally freezes again. Think of a bell curve. One does not perceive his birth nor his death, pushed back to the infinite. Life is an infinite time between two black holes at the approach of which time lengthens indefinitely. If this vision seems absurd, you should know that this is how black holes work. If you are curious you could read this page about [[negentropy|http://epsilonwiki.free.fr/portail/?view=entropie]].

_p {b Interlude}. Listen quietly to [[John Surman|https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Surman]] :

_p Hear him launch into a soaring piece, beginning in a whisper and ending in madness. A long, ecstatic dance between the saxophone voice running through all the octaves and a shower of stars circling around, elusive. A cross between two worlds, ours where time flows in constructed melodies and a parallel world, conjugated, where time rolls over itself, cyclical, in "divine" harmonies. Iteration is human, recursion divine. 
Yin & Yang playing on the words that dance on the waves on the surface of the void. 
{center {b zero, zephyr, figure, sifr, صِفْر}.}

_p I think about the evolution of computers. The first computers were self-contained, each with its own computing unit (CPU), storage memory and various peripherals such as monitor, keyboard and mouse. Then came the internet, computers shared their information and today much of this information is in data centers. Computers have become simple interfaces for input and output of information, information that just passes through and is stored in the data centers of GAFAM. The next step? No more computers, just a touch screen and buttons, calculations outsourced to the GAFAMs. And tomorrow? A simple implant will interface between your needs (I'm hungry, I'm bored, ...) and the Nutella and Netflix factories, to which Amazon will connect you without your knowledge. And we will end up in Matrix, as the energy source needed by the data centers containing our avatars. Who will live for us. Who will vote in our place, we who will have become useless like the workers replaced by robots in the factories. Unless we get rid of the computers and find the primitive language of our brain. I am sure that some oriental monks did not wait for us to speak it. My hope is to find this language. Even if we are as far away from it as Leonardo da Vinci was from the flying machines he dreamed of and which could only fly many centuries later. Hope is life.

_p {b Exercise 1}: Should we believe in reincarnation? Of course! Gandhi died a long time ago, his ashes returned to inert matter, but his memory, everything that passed through his mind, is forever somewhere in that parallel universe, where time is frozen, that some people may call "Paradise", it doesn't matter. Throughout his life he was the only one (or almost the only one) to have access to it, in reading and writing as we say nowadays. Gandhi gave us some extracts from it in his speeches and writings. Is it lost? No, if we discover one day the key to his memory. Or if chance gives someone the key to it. Let's imagine that this key is his DNA, there are billions and billions of compositions and maybe someone on this planet has a DNA close enough to Gandhi's to have access to all or part of his memory, to the point of confusing it with his own, and believing himself to be Gandhi's re-incarnation. In any case, he has access to a part of Gandhi's memory, therefore to his thoughts, even the most secret ones, those that he kept deep inside himself. To the point of being able to continue his work. In this sense, we can speak of the reincarnation of Gandhi's spirit, without needing to imagine that Gandhi still exists, somewhere sitting at the right hand of a windy God, looking at us with benevolence... or taking the piss out of us.

_p {b Exercise 2}: Should we believe in guardian angels who watch over us and surround us with their benevolent wings? Of course! Develop ...

_p {b Exercise 3} : Microsoft is said to be planning to patent a software that would allow to talk with the dead. Fake news? Could you describe this kind of project in the light of the previous thoughts?

_p I don't know about you, but I find it amusing (and also reassuring) to look for (and to discover and explore) "rational" explanations for all these phenomena. To be able to talk about it without falling into the smoke and mirrors discourse. With the hope that new (explainable) phenomena may appear along the way. And maybe even algorithms to provoke in a controlled way (and without drugs) journeys in the memory of other people. I would like to enter the memories of Einstein, Gandhi, Alan Turing, Françoise Hardy and of course, [[Colette]]. To feel like I'm talking to them. Learning from them. 
_p I like angels. With a little imagination you can even see their wings decorated with thousands of multicolored lambdas. It is obvious (to me) that the language of the angels is a kind of lambda-calculus, let's say a dialect like [[lambdatalk|http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdaspeech/]], which gathers around the {b TAO}, the cold philosophy of the West and the warmer one of the East. In search of the Philosopher's Stone.

{blockquote {i
_ul {b Some developments} here [[memoire]] and there [[esprit_matiere]].

_ul {b Clarification} : I understood that some people felt some discomfort when reading this page. Esotericism of bazaar, science badly understood, fuzzy delirium to say all. I wrote this page without any pretension, neither esoteric nor scientific, with a certain distancing, a bit of humor and only one idea: {b to try to apply to the paranormal a reading grid which helps to explore it}, without rejecting it and far from the delirium of charlatans of all sides. It's up to each of us to find our own way or to move on without any a priori judgement on my state of mental health.

Colette is gone
gone forever
but she still lives in me

from her I will always have
the dreamy smile 
of an angel with starry eyes

she was everything for me
the colors of my life
and the honey of my thoughts

one day she faded away, 
she went away beautiful
leaving me in sorrow, alone.

_p which lists the {pow 2 5} movements of 5 disks in the Towers of Hanoi game. A cascade that is only a tiny part of the algorithms that make up a program of current length. The lambdas cascade should be close in complexity to the notes played by this remarkable pianist, [[Kassia|https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPmCaKjzYF3pXYLfaRhacwA]].
_p And it makes you dream of the possibility of making the lambda-calculus work in your brain at the same speed. How much time and work did it take for this pianist to be able to play this piece? It would take at least that long for our brains to be able to interpret a lambda-calculus code as quickly. Perhaps one day there will be a school of lambda-calculus like there are music schools to train humans to manipulate algorithms at this speed, aided or not by machines, pianos with algorithms. I'm sure there are already some.
_p So with a little (a lot) of training we will be able to play with beautiful algorithms like this pianist plays the piano. For example to generate smells, colours, sounds, voices, shapes, ...
