A. MISSION
In this site, Antonio Cassella links the return of Quetzalcoatl to the discussion over a universal Vision of the third attention that sustains the growth of natural systems and the human mind. Basing his hypotheses on the performance of autistics in neuropsychological tests, he also presents the possibility of illumination in any "self," within the free choices ascribed to our Third Point.
The Progress of our descendants, instead of their extinction, hides behind the smile by which our brainstem crossed in infancy . . .
- the memory adored by our first attention (or classical computing, 1 or 0) in the autistic facet lodged in our cerebral cortex with the . . .
- fantasy appreciated by our second attention (or quantum computing, 1 and 0) in the artistic facet that inhabits our cerebellar cortex.
In line with the shared Wisdom attached to the Third Attention and the altruistic Will associated to the third point of any individual, our MISSION seeks to understand and help autistic children, while saving our young from further involution and even extinction before the turn of the 21st century.
- Autistics' inability to open the door of quantum coherence (within the infinite speed behind fantasy, hope, doubt, problems, paradox, sin, and the normal use of pronouns) shows the limitations of the perfect memory and faithful perception ascribed to classical computing in the 1st. attention.
- And schizophrenics' difficulty to open the door of quantum decoherence (within the void by which we repent, or solve a problem in the Progress of a person, a family, and the world), shows the limitations of quantum computing in our 2nd. attention.
The following verses of "Auld lang syne," "And we'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet, for auld lang syne," picked up by the Scot bard Robert Burns in the 17th. century, suggest to us that we should not forget Values as forgiveness, kindness, and love, produced in the emptiness that hosts the altruistic crossing of autistic finiteness with artistic infinity when Quetzalcoatl returns.
In line with Robert Burns, the American actor and singer Gene Autry popularized in 1946 the Canadian song "Red River Valley" . . .
"Come and sit by my side if you Love me,
Do not hasten to bid me adieu,
But remember the Red River Valley
And the one that has loved you so true."
By understanding the drama of autistics, our descendants might keep their smile, while stopping the 6th. extinction of non-human species.
B. THE SIXTH EXTINCTION
THE THIRD ATTENTION AND THE THIRD POINT
Besides a unitary faith, the Progress of our grandchildren needs the infinity of hope. Hope will allow us to escape the temptations of quantum computing by opening the door of Nothingness. If we cross nothingness, we may reach the collective Vision of the Third Attention and the individual Will of the Third Point, which will stop the sixth extinction of non-human species.
The nothingness of coincidence ("Put yourself in my shoes!"), the general Vision of the third attention, and the charitable will that characterizes our particular Third Point will allow us to return into a spacetime renewed for all. Under the influence of our personal Third Point, we will help others see the Third Attention and will their own Third Point.
Such a democracy remains inaccessible to lying tyrants, their cynical partners, and their faithful acolytes. The pride, narcissism, and arrogance (hubris) of authoritarian leaders, the corruption of their accomplices, and the blind faith of their loyal, hatred-filled, and fearful slaves dispel all hope and compassion.
Unlike envious tyrants, their partners, and their blind followers, as a liberator of his brothers and of humanity, Moses sewed in the sacred ephod kept in the Ark of the Covenant two principles of classical computing (or the stone Thummim),
- "Nothing can be in separate places simultaneously" (Locality or Einstein's finite speed of light in his relativity) and
- "separate objects cannot share the same space at the same time" (Impenetrability or Pauli'Exclusion Principle).
He also sewed to Aaron's ephod two principles of quantum computing (or the stone Urim),
- "Anything may exist in separate places simultaneously" (Ubiquity or Entanglement in quantum coherence), and
- "separate objects may share the same space at the same time" (Coincidence or Superposition in the possibility of quantum decoherence).
Coincidence may go with quantum coherence (escape door closed) or with quantum decoherence (escape door open). However, if we unite faith (1), hope (2), and charity (3) in the heart of our Third Point, we will stop more than the sixth extinction of non-human species on Earth. We will also stop the first extinction of humans (see "the cosmos" page in this website).
As with Moses, instead of becoming slaves, slave-masters, or tyrants, our grandchildren will remember their frame of knowledge (1), develop the courage to face problems (2), and display new solutions through a magical smile (3).
The smile that unites our cerebral cortex and cerebellar microcomplexes in the brainstem makes the Progress linked to the general Vision of the Third Attention and the individual Will of the Third Point.
C. THE THREE MIRACLES OF PROGRESS
STOPPING TO HUNT OTHERS
Quetzalcoatl will return if we stop hunting others, after grasping . . .
- why the finite speed and locality of classical computing--in the certain spacetime of our first attention, repetitive memory, "yes or no," and perfect faith in our cerebral cortex--make a necessary but insufficient MIRACLE to invite autistics and our autistic side to . . .
- "reach simultaneously distinct places," in the nonlocal MIRACLE of the infinite speed and ubiquity of quantum computing--the ambiguous and diabolical hyperspace of the second attention impaired in autism, imagination, "yes and no", our artistic side, quantum coherence, or less-than-perfect cerebellar hope; and . . .
- why, after falling into the madness of our schizophrenic side, a lying tyrant cannot witness the MIRACLE of the third attention, through the quantum decoherence by which we "share with others the same space at the same time" (coincidence); for example, when we smile after a wordplay, laugh after our falls, cry when others fall, or laugh and cry simultaneously under the influence of the Third Point, to be lodged in the Brainstem of the Quetzalcoatl that abandons malice.
If we returned with Quetzalcoatl, after grasping the three miracles of Progress and seeking the Third Point of others, our grandchildren would grow in a new and global Teotihuacan, or the Third Rome. There, they would be free from the despair caused by sterile ideology, the malice unleashed by diabolical leaders, the impact of weapons of mass destruction, and the destruction brought by global warming.
D. THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN FROM TEOTIHUACANS AND TOLTECS
QUETZALCOATL WILL RETURN WITH ANY ALTRUISTIC MIND
As the anthropologist Carlos Castaneda implied before dying, the cognitive magic of the Yaqui shaman don Juan frees the mind that recreates reality for the good of all.
We can overcome global warming, tyranny, weapons of mass destruction, deadly viruses, and madness by allying our perfect 1st. attention with the less-than-perfect coherence of our 2nd. attention, into the decoherence of the third attention. Here are some examples:
- The transfiguration of Christ (3) on a mountain, between the esoteric teachings offered by Elias (2) and the laws given by Moses (1) (Mark 9:2-8);
- the stones Thummim and Urim, kept by Moses in the Ark of the Covenant;
- the meeting of Laozi and Kong-Fuzi (5th century Before the Common Era, BCE);
- the Will of Sita to protect Rama's progeny from the perfidy of Ravana;
- Krishna's advice to Arjuna to transfigure the victims of his Gandiva bow;
- the Love between the Persian King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) and the valiant Queen Esther;
- wal-Mi'raj, or Muhammad's return to the Black Stone in Mecca, after his al-'Isra' journey to the farthest mosque; and
- Quetzalcoatl's promise, before leaving Mesoamerica with the Morning Star (Venus) in the 9th century BCE, that someday he or she would return.
In the hypothetical "logos heuristics" (or "Λ"), found by Antonio Cassella after exploring the autistic brain and crossing classical science with quantum physics, philosophy, and mysticism, the bird-serpent "Quetzal-coatl" will abandon the diabolical use of quantum computing ruled by the Moon; and return with the Evening Star (Venus).
Accompanied by the grace of Coatlaxopeuh (Shekhinah-Gabriel), Quetzalcoatl will return to lead each of us to our particular third point, in line with the nature of Progress in the universe and the anti-universe (described in the page "cosmos" of "[logos]autism" at researchautism.com).
E. THE RETURN OF QUETZALCOATL WITH COATLAXOPEUH
FROM AUTISM TO MADNESS, THE THIRD ATTENTION, THE THIRD POINT, AND PROGRESS
Knowledge of the roots of autism (1) may transform the 2nd. point (2) into the third attention; and later into the third point (3) in many individuals. The Third Point in the return of Quetzalcoatl may knock at our door after we comprehend (Vision) the reality of the alliance (3) between:
- perfect memory, in the classical computing of being/"yes" opposed to nonbeing/"no," the 1st. attention, finite spacetime, grammar in our native language, the shared rules, routines, or prototypical schemata adored by our autistic facet and negated by our schizophrenic facet; and . . .
- the less-than-perfect imagination adored by our artistic, creative, malicious, or diabolical facet.
Quantum computing echoes being-and-nonbeing, "maybe," the 2nd. attention, infinite hyperspace, doubt, dilemma, paradox, hope, humor, the unknown, deceit, the immersion in a problem, the contrasting hypotheses about potential solutions; and the pragmatics behind the use of quantum coherence in figures of speech, the subjunctive, the conditional and the correct use of pronouns.
For different reasons, both autistics and schizophrenics cannot seize the union of classical computing (1) with quantum computing (2) into the third attention (3).
Autistics, who imagine what they see (sanity), oppose schizophrenics, who see what they imagine (insanity). And both miss the mental fluidity that invites dancers who can imagine what they see and see what they imagine into flying with beauty, elegance, grace, and charm.
- At the age of two years, most autistics show that they cannot step on the bridge of quantum coherence, and embrace our schizophrenic facet and our autistic facet simultaneously (pretend play) whereas . . .
- in adulthood, schizophrenics cannot find the bridge of quantum decoherence in returning to a renovated reality and the social triumph of shared Progress.
Autistics cannot seize the malice of the Green Goblin; and schizophrenics cannot step into the shoes of Spider-man. The former cannot go; and the latter cannot return.
Neither autistics nor schizophrenics can follow without help the primeval grace of Coatlaxopeuh (the Virgin of Guadalupe, Tonantzin, Coatlicue) to convert our inner Quetzalcoatl from a demon into a Saint.
Very few people in the world are aware (the 3rd Attention) of the possibility of our resurrection (through our own Third Point) if we help others before dying..
