The Supernatural Sciences - Ostronomos - Jul 6, 2026
Over the years I have blazed a path in the supernatural sciences. One of the things I have learned is that a universal consciousness can emerge from the void and fill one's surroundings, but only under specific conditions. This has left a lasting impression on me. I have not only witnessed this God but also provided logical proof. While many still remain in the dark, I have emerged victorious.

Your grandiosity undermines the authenticity of your alleged experience. Don't use spirituality as an ego crutch.

I believe I am entitled to a little ego. Although I remain grounded, I understand where you are coming from.
Nevertheless, my experiences of God are authentic.

In the spirit of Christopher Langan's CTMU, part of what I have termed "the Supernatural Sciences", rests on a very solid foundation. The scientific version of metaphysics is not the Hollywood version where demonic forces are free to interact with the mundane world, but rather exist in a higher dimension accessible only to those with access to a 6th sense. Of course, we who possess these traits tend not to make public spectacles of ourselves:
Introduction
In the last post, we discussed category mistakes and the not-even-wrong “physical theories of everything” based on them. Such theories are “not even wrong” because although physics and the physical universe are real, they are not self-explanatory, and this makes physics unsuitable as a TOE. Specifically, it fails to explain, or justify, the aspect of reality called “physics”.
We saw that because “everything” and “physical” are not synonymous, the assumption that “everything is physical” is a contradiction. Theories based on contradictions are not only unfounded, but wrong and gravely misleading. In fact, a true theory of everything can be comprehensively and consistently formulated only in a metaphysical metalanguage of physics spanning both physical theory and its physical universe of discourse. Metaphysics, properly formulated as the CTMU, is simply the metalanguage which describes how physics and the physical universe are related to each other.
Remember, physical means observable, and physics is an object language in which the physical universe, its object of reference, is theoretically described in terms of physical states and observable quantum properties or observables, linear operators associated with CTMU identity operators or “quantum observers” operating on the states.
In the CTMU, physics and the physical universe are related through “metaformal quantization”, a mereology under which reality is effectively defined to not just contain observers, but to consist of generic observers as components.

Science is on the brink of understanding consciousness. I believe:
