I have been inspired to work on this project ever since an awakening in 2000 which revealed to me a deep insight into the nature of reality and a relatively simple piece of mathematics. This informed and transformed my mind over the following years. The message hidden in ancient wisdom became clear to me, the systemic nature of the world was revealed and the informatic nature of quantum reality was revealed.

In brief: Instead of conceiving of reality through an object oriented paradigm I had shifted to a process oriented paradigm. From this perspective objects are just appearances that are experienced by processes and it is the processes that are fundamental; although the appearances do play a vital role.

All systems have an ‘inner’ animating process (consciousness) and an ‘outer’ form (its appearance in consciousness). Materialism is a false ontology based upon a naïve realist epistemology, i.e. we assumed that the objects of perception were objective objects and we hypothesised the existence of ‘matter’ and an external “physical universe” to explain them.

However the universe is more analogous to a VR simulation than a physical mechanism. Quantum information processes animate myriads of virtual systems which experience each other and evolve into more complex systems. Eventually some of these systems contemplate their situation. Some fall for naïve realism and believe in materialism, whilst others overcome naïve realism and believe in mysticism or spirituality or quantum realism or virtual realism etc (which are just different ways of expressing the same underlying understanding).

Using the mathematical framework I could re-derive the Schrödinger equation; explain the Planck constants; explain the multiverse; explain the relationship between individual systems and the unified cosmic process; explain the nature of consciousness; and much more.

A major product of this project is the document: http://www.anandavala.info/SystemSimulation.pdf which is still in development…

The project also involves identifying and eliminating unquestioned false beliefs and unifying the best of modern science and ancient wisdom; to help derive a firm foundation for a unified science upon which the next cycle of civilisation can make its stand.

This line of work also offers views from a systemic perspective on the nature of various phenomena from the evolution of consciousness to economics to the global paradigm shift that is currently under way, and much more.

Some examples of this aspect of the project:
What is consciousness? http://qr.ae/RTWL
What questions can science not answer? http://qr.ae/OaY9
What are some taboos in science? http://qr.ae/OaY3
What is sentience? http://qr.ae/RTS1
Do spirits exist in Reality? http://qr.ae/7G76

Synchronicity, serendipity, grace, wuwei, the flow of the ongoing process of the real.

I was raised a rational materialist but was always fascinated by the occult although I didn’t understand it. I then studied physics and computer science at uni. Then had an epiphany / awakening in 2000 after which I have devoted my life to pursuit of a deep apprehension of the nature of reality. I left academia because of the intense pressure to conform to a materialist paradigm that was exerted on me.

After the awakening I could finally understand mysticism and became deeply involved in yoga; meditation; Advaita; Taoism; etc. The universe also responded by supporting me in countless subtle but unmistakably synchronistic ways.

I spent several years in solitude in a forest retreat where I contemplated and formulated the mathematical framework and its associated theoretical / philosophical / metaphysical framework. I also explored its many parallels with Eastern philosophy; mysticism; quantum mechanics; system theory; information theory; and much more.

Since 2005 I have been working on developing ways to express this work and refine it, whilst also working on myself and just allowing myself to be refined by the lessons provided by the universe both within and without.

Lately I have been more focused on inner transformation than outer communication, but good connections are being made and ideas are slowly fermenting in the back of my mind including a new website being envisioned for the near future. It is still early days in terms of my life’s work; it is only just beginning…
