MISSION
In this site, Antonio Cassella broaches his exploration of the return of Quetzalcoatl with a vision of third attention as a hypothetical reflex of the roots of autism, creativity, madness, and progress.
In 1936, Gene Autry popularized the verses . . .
"Than come 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."
THE THREE MIRACLES OF PROGRESS
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--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 hyperspace of our second attention, imagination, "yes and no", or less-than-perfect hope; and why, after falling into the madness of our schizophrenic side, a lying tyrant cannot witness . . .
- the MIRACLE of the third attention, through 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, and cry when others fall.
THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN FROM TEOTIHUACANS AND TOLTECS
As the anthropologist Carlos Castaneda implied before dying, the magic of the Yaqui shaman don Juan is real in the arcane freedom of the mind that recreates reality for the good of all.
We can overcome madness by allying the 1st. with the 2nd., into the third attention.
Here are some examples:
- The transfiguration of Christ (3) between Elias (2), and Moses (1) on a mountain (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);
- 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 he would return.
In the hypothetical "logos heuristics" (or "Λ"), found by Antonio Cassella after crossing science with ancient 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).
Quetzalcoatl will return to lead each of us to our third point, in line with the nature of Progress in the universe and the anti-universe (described in the last 4 sections of the page "autism[logos]" in English).
THE LOGOS HEURISTICS, AUTISM, AND SCHIZOPHRENIA
Knowledge of the roots of Progress and of autism will shake the third point in most individuals. The Third Point knocks at our door when we comprehend (Vision) and try (Will) to boost with our enemies the Third Attention, or the alliance (3) between:
- perfect memory, in the classical computing (underlined) 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, following the quantum computing (bold) of 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 figures of speech, the subjunctive, the conditional. and pronouns.
For different reasons, both autistics and schizophrenics cannot seize the union of classical computing ( (1, underlined) with quantum computing (2, bold) into the third attention (3, highlighted in Cassella's printed books with bold and underlining, or with an initial capital).
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, and charm.
- Since infancy, autistics cannot leave shared-repetition, step on the bridge of quantum coherence, and embrace our schizophrenic facet or offer the other cheek to the slap of our enemies; and
- in adulthood, schizophrenics cannot find the bridge of quantum de-coherence in returning to a renovated reality and the social triumph of shared Progress (irregular initial capital).
Autistics cannot seize the malice of the Green Goblin; and schizophrenics cannot step in the shoes of Spider-man. The former cannot go; and the latter cannot return.
Unlike the union of the crook and flail in Osiris, Moses, Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, don Juan, Carlos Castaneda, Spider-man, and Quetzalcoatl, since he says, "I will be back," the first Terminator (the actor Arnold Schwarzenegger) returns without returning.

- Finally, the enhanced version of Cassella's master thesis in psychology at Harvard University (in English) and his doctoral thesis (in Spanish) on creativity at the Simón Rodríguez University in Venezuela complete his 8 books at Amazon Prime and Kindle.
The initial part of all the digital books written by Antonio Cassella can be examined at Amazon Kindle by clicking the figure above or the tab "BOOKS." In his paperbacks at Amazon Prime, the author:
- underlies the brotherhood of a shared 1st. attention, over-developed in high-functioning autistics; and lost to our enemies and to our schizophrenic side;
- highlights with bold the 2nd. attention impaired in autistic spectrum disorders (ASD); and
- combines underlining and bold to show the Vision of the 3rd. attention in any explorer who sees the light at the end of a tunnel and develops the will to help others reach that light together with their personal Third Point.
Dante's opening verses of his "Inferno" exemplify the path of the Third Attention and of one's own Third Point (translation by the author):
"In the midst of the path of our life
I found myself in a dark wood,
for the straight way was lost in strife.
To tell how bad it was it isn't good
the forest that stole away my breath,
while my mind in fear there stood!
Bitter than that is only death;
but outing the good that I found there,
calls for describing the whole wreath."

THE NEXT SECTION DESCRIBES THE NATURE OF:
1. THE EGYPTIAN CROOK, OR THE FIRST ATTENTION OVERDEVELOPED IN HIGH-FUNCTIONING AUTISM, SPARED IN OUR AUTISTIC SIDE, AND IMPAIRED INDIRECTLY IN SCHIZOPHRENIA (the 1st Labyrinth);
2. THE EGYPTIAN FLAIL, OR THE SECOND ATTENTION MARRED IN AUTISM (the 2nd Labyrinth); AND
3. THEIR UNION IN THE THIRD ATTENTION, BEFORE REACHING THE THIRD POINT (hopefully, at the end of the 3rd Labyrinth).
The Third Point reflects the heroic feat of those particular readers who see (Vision) and acquire the Will to help others understand, although they may die along the Way.
The brotherhood of CLASSICAL COMPUTING (CC) in the 1ST. ATTENTION (Locality, or the Crook) feeds the perfect repetitiveness sought by our autistic side
The imagination of QUANTUM COMPUTING (QC) in the 2ND. ATTENTION (the Flail or Nonlocality) feeds less-than-perfection in our artistic side, which is marred in autism

Classical Computing or CC (in which "1" opposes "0" as "yes" opposes "no") invites our autistic facet centered in the cerebral cortex to appreciate the Egyptian Crook, the Hebrew crystal Thummim, Zechariah's staff Hovalim, the sequential and finite speed of an arrow or of a ray of light in spacetime, and the Aztec Tonal.

Classical Computing or CC (in which "1" opposes "0" as "yes" opposes "no") invites our autistic facet centered in the cerebral cortex to appreciate the Egyptian Crook, the Hebrew crystal Thummim, Zechariah's staff Hovalim, the sequential and finite speed of an arrow or of a ray of light in spacetime, and the Aztec Tonal.
Our autistic facet values obedience to authority, memories, discourse semantics, syntax, physical means, and the perfect repetition of known patterns provided in spacetime by regular rules and irregular forms in the grammar of the 1st attention.
Two examples of CC are "Nat King Cole's song, "Quizás, quizás, quizás" and the certain return promised by the first Terminator, "I will be back," opposed implicitly to, "No!, I will not return!" CC stands behind the mannerisms, faith, and echolalia (+1) of autistic individuals.
With the help of Dr. Alfonso Caramazza, Antonio Cassella found that the impairment to QC (Quantum Computing), or the invisible and silent partner to CC, leads the brain of autistic individuals to enlarging the repository of "truth": the cerebral cortex.

Before the age of 3 years, the cerebellar-brainstem microcomplexes of autistics lose their hold on Quantum Computing or QC (2, or the embrace of 1 and 0, or yes and no in the doubt of "maybe"), the Egyptian Flail, the Hebrew Urim, Zechariah's staff No'am, a bow, and the Aztec Nagual, or the infinite speed of simultaneity in hyperspace.

Before the age of 3 years, the cerebellar-brainstem microcomplexes of autistics lose their hold on Quantum Computing or QC (2, or the embrace of 1 and 0, or yes and no in the doubt of "maybe"), the Egyptian Flail, the Hebrew Urim, Zechariah's staff No'am, a bow, and the Aztec Nagual, or the infinite speed of simultaneity in hyperspace.
Autistics cannot see less-than-perfect patterns, within the pragmatics unleashed by the 2nd. attention and the coherence path that embraces opposite meanings simultaneously by means of an infinite speed.
One example of the union of yes and no is the song, "Quizás, quizás, quizás" ("Maybe, maybe, maybe") by Nat King Cole. Because the Flail of QC is impaired in autistics, they cannot fathom the ambiguity unleashed by hope in the sentence, "Perhaps I will return."
Since they embrace contrary truths, nonautistics may lie (2), welcome deception, and evade the law and taxes, winning over others. Still, the liars who hurt the magical hyperspace (QC) of others will not escape madness; which will cause the loss of their first, second, and third attention.
Autistics can help us get the UNION of brotherhood and imagination, or CC and QC, through the THIRD ATTENTION damaged in unmedicated schizophrenics

Because autistics lack the FLAIL-QC (or the infinite speed of divergence in quantum coherence), their primeval innocence cannot embrace simultaneously good and evil, respect and hatred, sanity and madness in QC. And schizophrenics cannot return to a renewed reality in 3, or the Wisdom of Solomon's seal (CC + QC).

Because autistics lack the FLAIL-QC (or the infinite speed of divergence in quantum coherence), their primeval innocence cannot embrace simultaneously good and evil, respect and hatred, sanity and madness in QC. And schizophrenics cannot return to a renewed reality in 3, or the Wisdom of Solomon's seal (CC + QC).
Since they can neither face a problem through quantum coherence (2) nor solve it through quantum decoherence (3), autistics can help us reach the third attention in the Wisdom of Osiris/Hatshepsut.
Autistics cannot smile at a pun, appreciate an irony, value criticism, or sort out how to win with others. A few scoundrels, however, use their capacity for QC to deceive gullible people. Hence, unrepented devils without charity will never reach their third point.
Recall that Cassella's paperbacks differentiate spacetime (the 1st. attention) with underlining; hyperspace (the 2nd. attention) with bold; and with their combination, their union into the 3rd. attention that precedes the encounter of courageous readers with their third point.
The way to the Third Attention and the Third Point
As with Tom Hanks in the film Cast Away, we are all prisoners in an island in which we cannot turn our back on time.
- From classical computing and the sanity of our autistic facet in +1, through the magic of quantum computing and the creative thought of our artistic facet in 2, if we escape our insane schizophrenic facet in -1, we will see the light at the end of the tunnel, or the cognitive roots of the third attention in 3.
- After that, if we decide to win with our enemies in helping future children reach their Third Point, our Will will help us cross the tunnel, seize the wisdom of Osiris, and reach our third point.
