A transpersonal psyche with a collective unconscious composed of the sum of all of the archetypes as Jung’s model proposed would have features of a scale-free network structure. His methodology for approaching the unconscious, especially amplification, similarly can be seen to map and understand the psyche as such a network.

hegelian logic

Since the Torus is being simultaneously generated by matter in all the various phases of “time”, it reflects the development of the universe in the past, present and future. By reflecting on this model, it becomes possible to “see” how human consciousness brought to a sufficiently altered state could obtain information concerning the past, present and future since they all exist in the universal hologram simultaneously (in the case of the future because all of the consequences of the past and present can be seen coming together in the hologram such that the future can be predicted or “seen” with total accuracy). 

Moreover, it is possible to see how the implosion of energy patterns would cross and recross to create an incredibly complex four dimensional hologram or Torus, in spiral shape in movements of the energies which comprise the universe leave their mark and and hence tell their story throughout time.

Taxonomies of misdirection overview

When confronted with a magic trick, you first perceive the relevant sensory information, then store key aspects of it in your memory, and then perhaps use this to reason about how the trick was done. A magician can prevent a spectator from discovering the method by simply manipulating any one of these processes.

These categories define misdirection in terms of the psychological mechanisms affected. The first set of principles manipulate your perception, preventing you from perceiving selected parts of the performance.
