Part #2  The energy plane
Thanks for the responses.

The goal has always been definition.  
The best question gets the best answer.
Dreams are the preferred drug of addiction for existence.

Like any infant I developed, however, because I had a body of nearly 14 years,
I was expected to have "normal" values and awarenesses.  I learned how to act
"normal" (almost); self-defense or self preservation.  I created a template
(personality) that I would activate whenever I felt it in my best interests to
appear "normal".  
I read the encyclopedia Britannica, several dictionaries and thesauruses. The
body, now 17 years old (1966) and quite experienced (expelled from Kent Stat
University three times in less than 2 years) was/is independent of what I call
"me".  It would be many years before I discover the awareness I now maintain. 
Early on, I actually believed, that my thoughts animated the body.  Now it is
very clear otherwise.  The chemistry of existence is quite determinant.  Life
is a guess, the ego an approximation, the rest is in our minds.  One of the
first illusions I confronted was: "I, the mind/me am important/critical to the
success of this body/life."  This illusion  was/is particularly thorny.  The
lower brain (sub-conscious/un-conscious) runs the show.  And it has an interest
in shiny bright things, especially the bright shiny thing that a
personality/conscious produces in the brain.  The lower brain is the pack rat
of intelligence.

My favorite model for existence is the energy plane.  I first applied it to the
brain.  I imagine it to be like a sheet of graph paper.  The energy plane is
net value is always "zero".  However, mountains and holes are possible as are
storms.  A common storm happens in the vision centers of the brain.  The net
change from "zero" is translated into images.  The quality of the translation
is a function of the definition (grid) used.  All organism have default grids. 
These grids (templates) can be impressed upon the brain and will produce
predictable/known behaviors/interpretations/perceptions.  Default templates are
often Archetypes.  
Mountains and holes (valleys) are formed by modulating the plane.  This permits
travel between different planes.  Some mountains arise from lower planes and
are thrust through the upper planes.  This produces "normal" behaviors and the
consensus reality we perceive.  


The physical reality bounded by space and time forms the base plane.  All other
planes result above this plane.  Humans as example begin to appear at level 3. 
Human consciousness happens around level 6.  Art happens around level 10.  By
modulation any energy domain/level can be explored.  Most often this means a
loss of self (the attachment to form).  We (all of all) share the lower
domains.  At the lower levels differentiation is limited.  There our union can
be complete.  However, the human consciousness generally falls asleep on the
way.  It certainly is possible to achieve.  It just takes discipline and
determination. 

Recipe for existence.  
1)	Take space and time.  Mix well
2)	Add energy
3)	Add value.		(opportunity, advantage)
4)	Take the precipitate and add meaning	(purpose)
5)	The resultant chemistry will be 70-80% autonomous.

Bliss is an option, that must be manually selected.
