“Principles for the Development of a Complete Mind: Study the science of art. Study the art of science. Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.”- Leonardo da Vinci
A DaVinci Mind is an Idea. A Realization. And a Classification. It comes from my lifelong study of people, Life, exceptional and advanced people, and myself. Once free of the restrictive bonds of my first marriage in 1995, I spent the next 24 years being a single father, a very hard worker in software, and a Quester for Answers that I could not find anywhere.
· What is the Mind?
· How does it work?
· Why cannot most people see the Obvious like I do?
· And so few can?
· Why are there so few advanced human beings?
· And how do these few become so advanced?
· What is Intelligence?
· And why isn’t is adequately defined?
· Or respected and honored?
· And all these strange and unusual experiences that I’ve had throughout my Life…And still have…How can these be explained?
· How does Life work?
· What is Love? And how does it work?
· What is Spirituality? The Spirit? And the Soul…
So many questions and the Answers that I sought…I could not find. I had to find and develop my own Answers. And I spent 20+ years and many adventures doing just that.
And…I found and developed a great many Answers! Most quite new and revolutionary, assembled from and by bits and pieces of knowledge I gathered from here and there with my G2 Ability and combined with my reasoning, my research, my strange and unusual unconventional experiences, and new insights brought forth from a special type of creative and problem solving deep meditation that I developed.
And I found, like Leonardo da Vinci said, that “Realize that everything connects to everything else.”
Our Human world, what I call our Human Mindspace, consists of some collective and common views, perspectives, and understandings that we, or large parts of “we”, hold to be true and indicative of Reality. I have found that this is actually a huge morass, a swampy quagmire of wrong and twisted ideas, thinkings, interpretations, and conclusions with bits of some Truth and Reality sprinkled amongst siloed and stunted connections mixed with wrong thinking, violent biases, unstable and unsupportable interpretations, and fallacies and even idiocies.
In other words…Quite a mess!
While I could easily write a large bookshelf of books on this topic, seeking to unwind the tangle, I do not have the remaining life span or the Will to do so. As doing so will greatly to completely detract from me presenting the Answers that I have found and developed. And doing this will subject me to great and grand criticism from many of the Silos and Morass which feel (and are) threatened by real Answers pushing aside the pseudo and incomplete and inadequate answers which so many have rested upon and based their lives upon.
Is it any surprise then that our Human world and Mindspace is such a mess? Such a Morass?
The Answers that I will present and offer, such as the Secret of the Mona Lisa previously, will be met with suspicion and ire by many, just another instance of what I call the Leonardo da Vinci Syndrome.
Leonardo spoke of much the same:
“Many will think they may reasonably blame me by alleging that my proofs are opposed to the authority of certain men held in the highest reverence by their inexperienced judgments; not considering that my works are the issue of pure and simple experience, who is the one true mistress. These rules are sufficient to enable you to know the true from the false — and this aids men to look only for things that are possible and with due moderation — and not to wrap yourself in ignorance, a thing which can have no good result, so that in despair you would give yourself up to melancholy.”
- Leonardo da Vinci, circa 1500
And:
“Oh! human stupidity, do you not perceive that, though you have been with yourself all your life, you are not yet aware of the thing you possess most of, that is of your folly? and then, with the crowd of sophists, you deceive yourselves and others, despising the mathematical sciences, in which truth dwells and the knowledge of the things included in them. And then you occupy yourself with miracles, and write that you possess information of those things of which the human mind is incapable and which cannot be proved by any instance from nature. And you fancy you have wrought miracles when you spoil a work of some speculative mind, and do not perceive that you are falling into the same error as that of a man who strips a tree of the ornament of its branches covered with leaves mingled with the scented blossoms or fruit.”
- Leonardo da Vinci, circa 1500
And finally:
“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
Leonardo da Vinci, circa 1500
My Answers that I have found and developed have been done so solely by myself with only some great encouragement from my wonderful wife Christina and a few close friends such as Jack and Karteek. Others do not understand them. And find them at odds with their current thinking, or more specifically, with the thoughts and ideas that have been imprinted upon them. Yes, my Ideas and Answers are in some cases, very different from established ideas and thus can be seen as revolutionary and also a bit hard to understand. I have thought about how to explain things for the last couple of years. This seemingly being more difficult than developing my ideas and theory sets!
Part of this problem is the limitations of cognitive thinking and intelligence prevalent currently in the Human Mindspace. Cognition is not really understood yet. Nor cognitive intelligence. Yet many people talk about it without properly defining it, understanding it, or even really researching it.
To me, Cognitive Thinking and Intelligence is the ability to link ideas and knowledge bits and fragments together to form bigger, greater, and more realistic models of Reality. I categorize this ability into three levels:
1. The Base Mind – Level 1
2. The Modal Mind – Level 2
3. The DaVinci Mind – Level 3
We all start at Zero, Level Zero, when we are born and naturally develop and advance up the Levels. To a faster or slower degree. In different Mind Dimensions which are all the ways that one can think and solve real world problems and develop abilities to achieve things in this world.
I look at these Levels as stair steps towards Something More, a higher and more advanced and more Sentient Mind and Life:
