“…In this theoretical paper, I propose this detailed new classification of "Consciousness" extending our (Neppe and Close) previous integration of the four overlapping EPIC 'prongs'. [7][8][9][10] Existential, Paradigmatic, Information-meaning and Cybernetic. The EPIC has slightly changed to Essence, Paradigmatic Level, Information, Meaning and Cybernetic.…”

“…It might be that the best way to approach this complex subject of Consciousness is to get rid of the term completely, and apply each context differently with other terms so as to differentiate them. However, all aspects of consciousness in these different specialties are still integrated, and the different components-what I call 'prongs'of consciousness are such that they're empirically feasible: 7 A basic rule for the scientific method involves feasible concepts 11 leading to specific testable predictions, often applying our raw senses at first, then magnifying our senses through qualitative or quantitative testing. 12 This is why it was important to have demonstrated in research (in the areas of neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology) that the prong classification we previously suggested in this very journal --namely the 'EPIC classification of consciousness'--has applicability and can be applied to a large selection of (in this instance 13) different diagnoses, of patients.…”

‘Consciousness’ cannot adequately be conceptualized unless we apply several different prongs. This paper is divided into three sections. A perspective on Consciousness: Improving on the EPIC prongs. Section 1. The 12 prongs of Consciousness: PIERCED MOCKS. Section 2 linked with WH adverbs. The Elusive Mystery Solved: The Gimmel of Consciousness Section 3. Ultimately, Consciousness can be an important component of understanding not only psychology and medicine but physics and the new discipline of Dimensional Biopsychophysics. We likely cannot understand consciousness without recognizing that there are multiple dimensions. In this paper, I’ve extended these concepts to more than just the EPIC prongs. Each prong necessarily comes with further inter-related prongs making up a dozen different ways of conceptualizing consciousness and ensuring it is remembered by the new more extensive mnemonic “PIERCED MOCKS.” (Paradigmatic Level; Information —Meaning; Essence; Relative to—From framework of; Cybernetic; Experience—Existence; Dimensions; Medical; Overlapping dimensions; Covert—Overt; Kind of psychological consciousness; and Summation. In this paper, I propose for the first time, 54 examples of CORD, standing for Consciousness Overlaps through Relative Dimensions (CORD). Essentially CORD applies overlaps across dimensional domains of Space-Time-Consciousness extending to the 9 finite dimensions plus the infinite continuity. There are now 41 States of Consciousness, with 12 Traits, plus 1 mixed condition. Additionally, medically, some conditions are ‘normal’, some ‘pathological’ mainly ‘neurological’, some involve altered consciousness, and some events involve the spiritual or other kinds of extended consciousness, with some not classifiable. ‘Any of these 54 might vary significantly in classification in individual instances

“…However, at the same time, phenomena like near death (NDEs), out of body experiences (OBEs), and extra-sensory perception also exist, which cannot be interpreted within the traditional materialistic theoretical frame. Taking together the unsolved questions of neuroscience as the hard problem, and the existence of such phenomena as NDEs and OBEs, an ever increasing number of studies and books appear, which already utilize the transcendental approach (Brabant, 2016;Bravo & Grob, 1989;Cardena, 2016;Chalmers, 1995;Dein & Bhui, 2013;Eccles, 1994;Eccles & Popper, 1977;Facco, Lucangeli, & Tressoldi, 2017;Frecska & Luna, 2006;Goswami, 1993;Hameroff & Penrose, 2014;Kelly et al, 2007;Lanza & Berman, 2009Machleidt & Sieberer, 2013;Morris, 2001;Neppe & Close, 2014;Noda, 2011;Parnia & Fenwick, 2002;Schwartz & Begley, 2002;Varela, 1996;V ızi, 2005). One of the latest books is the Transcendent Mind, published by the rather conservative American Psychological Association.…”

The article first of all holds that environmental regulation has failed. This is because it is too weak to prevent the overstepping of ecological boundaries by humanity. In this legal regulation is reflected that human behavior is psychopathological. This collective mental illness may originate from false selfidentification. Therefore, the author reviews the outcomes of modern natural sciences, such as quantum physics, cosmology, and nonlocal consciousness research. These results give sufficient support to argue, despite the traditional paradigm of materialism, that some aspects of consciousness are not limited by the space-time continuum. Moreover, all consciousness, regardless of its physical manifestations, is part of the universal Consciousness. From these scientific results, in line with ancient scriptures, an Eternal Order has evolved, which can be described at least by four fundamental and universal truths. This Eternal Order should be taken into account by positive law if humanity wants to reach fulfillment within the ecological limits of the Earth.

“…We have called the discipline involving multiple dimensions, "Dimensional Biopsychophysics" (DBP) and DBP is exemplified by any model, such as 9 dimensions, that incorporates physics (here quantum physics and spinning particles including fermions) and examines biology all the context of "Consciousness Research" (Neppe and Close, 2014a;2014b;2015b). DBP is therefore broader than physics, which focuses on 3S-1t.…”

“…The SMP is interpreted as a paradigm that cannot explain why there is complex structure and conscious organisms in the universe, or a universe at all. In the SMP, "consciousness" is an emergent feature or epiphenomenal expression of materialism, and arguably, neuroscience cannot adequately explain consciousness in terms of the physical brain alone (Neppe and Close, 2014e;2014b). Similarly, some would regard "String Theory" in its many iterations (Brax, 2011) as speculative because it remains unproven -it remains a "theory" (Morgart, 2014).…”

There are fifteen mysteries pertaining to nine dimensional finite realities. The current Standard Model of Physics (SMP) is a good beginning, allowing us to explain most aspects of the reality we experience through the physical senses, but has significant limitations, some quantum contradictions, and areas that remain mysteries. The principles of the SMP are not negated. Instead, they are incorporated into a broader higher dimensional fabric. We show that reality appears to be more complex than what we as sentient beings experience as 3 spatial dimensions embedded in a moment in time (the present) (3S-1t): Existence appears to be broader than overt human experience, and much of it involves the covert hidden higher finite dimensions. Specifically, our findings strongly suggest that finite reality involves specifically a 9 dimensional spin reality. This was not surprising because we had postulated this based on the Triadic Dimensional-Distinction Vortical Paradigm of Neppe and Close (TDVP). The TDVP model involves mathematical methods such as the Calculus of Distinctions, and Dimensional Extrapolation, where extrapolation across dimensions can demonstrate how movement across dimensions occurs.
