S002N - Sol Mini-Series: The Symbolism of Number 2, Part One
https://www.wholehuman.emanatepresence.com/sol-contents.html
May be copied and distributed with credit and link. No advice is given.
With a daily single roll of a dodecahedron (12-sided) die, a person can over time feel more connection, communication and communion with the inner compass 🧭 (also called the higher self, intuitive feelings, Eternal Flame, Superconsciousness, Source I Am, etc.) — giving the 'player' greater access to higher aspects of Oneself.
'Higher' here is non-hierarchical and refers to the more complete perspectives and experiences it brings (which can be deepened and expanded with dedicated practice.)
In traditional systems, the first chakra is known as the root and located at the base of the spine. Sol orients from above, and the first energy center is non-local but metaphorically above the crown. The highest first ‘chakra’ is associated with the number one and represents oneness, undifferentiated consciousness, and the unity of all things.
One twelve-sided die and these information pages are all that's needed to begin. Dodecahedron dice are available online or from Emanate Presence for ADA ($emanatepresence) with a snail 🐌 mail address by DM.
An attitude of exploration, experimentation, self-reflection, playfulness, and desire to evolve are helpful for 'playing the game'. Feel free to contact Emanate Presence with questions, comments, and insights.

One of the features of an Asperger's brain, it's said, is that it can focus longer only on what is of strong interest. Aspies generally have atypical interests. I don't know if that's always true, but would say it's been in my case — without wanting to make excuses.

For example, what really motivates me to create has always been whole human evolution. When approaching AQ, EQ, personal development, and so on, my tendency is to put it under the umbrella of 'Living from the Soul'. That to me covers it all. Any hesitancy stems from questioning whether people who might be interested in AQ or EQ could also resonate with the word soul. This brings up additional questions:
If the natural process of maturing emotionally and spiritually is a thousand mile soul journey, how many steps have most humans walked by the end of one lifetime?
When considered from a larger perspective which includes this lifetime and passing through the veil to whatever awaits in the greater beyond, what could be more important than living from the soul?
Even if a person doesn't believe in a soul, will the essential quality of life be improved by living as though there's one?
If you knew that the steps you take this lifetime for growing your soul by raising your Qs would enhance not only your life now but also your eternal journey, would you put more into it?
The more quality time a person gives to the divine or the soul, however one wants to express it, the deeper, richer and more genuine the experience will be.
Various sources say this about the 3Qs:
ADAPTABILITY QUOTIENT (AQ) is the ability to adapt to and thrive in an environment of change, new circumstances and uncertainty. It includes proactively embracing change and seizing the opportunities it brings. AQ can also stand for Adversity Quotient, Autism Quotient, Aesthetic Quotient. Assistant apparently hasn't heard of Adaptability Quotient.
EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT (EQ) is the emotional understanding and capability of oneself and others that helps with differing situations and people, including skills such as empathy, self-awareness, social skills, and emotional regulation.
INTELLECTUAL QUOTIENT (IQ) is a numerical measure as assessed by standardized tests of the intelligence, knowledge, facts, and trivia that one possesses.

ACTIVE INFORMATION
Introduction and answers by ChatGPT, aka Open A.I. Assistant.
Questions by Gary Smith, Emanate Presence.
The concept of implicate order, introduced by the theoretical physicist and philosopher David Bohm, has had a profound impact on our understanding of the nature of reality. Bohm's vision of the universe as a single, interconnected whole challenges the traditional view of reality as a collection of isolated objects and events. According to Bohm, the universe is not just a set of separate entities, but rather a dynamic and evolving system in which everything is interconnected at a fundamental level. In this view, the manifest world of appearances emerges from a deeper and more fundamental level of reality that Bohm called the implicate order. In this article, we will explore the concept of implicate order and its implications for our understanding of the nature of reality, the relationship between mind and matter, and the future of science and technology.
Q: What is active information?
The term "active information" has been used in various contexts, so its meaning can depend on the specific field or discipline in which it is being used.
In the field of information theory, active information refers to the amount of information needed to actively steer a system towards a specific outcome or goal. In this context, active information is often associated with the concept of "specified complexity," which is a measure of the improbability and specificity of a particular outcome.
In the field of biology, active information has been used to describe the information that is actively processed and utilized by living organisms to maintain their internal organization and respond to changes in their environment.
In the context of artificial intelligence and machine learning, active information can refer to the information that is actively collected and used by an agent or system to make decisions and take actions.
Overall, the term "active information" can be used to describe information that is not simply passive or static, but rather actively involved in some process or activity.
Q: How was it meant by David Bohm?
David Bohm, a theoretical physicist, philosopher, and proponent of the Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics, used the term "active information" in his work on the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter.
Bohm proposed that the universe is fundamentally interconnected and that all phenomena are interconnected through a process he called "implicate order." He suggested that this implicate order contains active information, which is not static or fixed but rather constantly in motion and evolving.
For Bohm, active information was a dynamic and holistic form of information that is not just limited to the physical properties of matter but also includes the underlying patterns and relationships between things. He saw active information as a key component of consciousness, which he believed was not just a product of the brain but rather a fundamental aspect of the universe itself.
Bohm's ideas on active information have been influential in fields such as quantum physics, philosophy, and psychology, where they have contributed to ongoing discussions on the nature of reality and the relationship between mind and matter.
Q: Did he say that active information performs an action?
Yes, David Bohm proposed that active information is not just passive or static but performs an action. He suggested that active information is involved in a process of continual movement and transformation that is fundamental to the nature of reality.
Bohm believed that active information is not simply a collection of data or facts but rather a dynamic and holistic form of information that is actively involved in shaping the way the universe unfolds. He proposed that active information is present in all levels of reality, from the subatomic to the macroscopic, and that it plays a key role in shaping the behavior of particles, fields, and systems.
In his view, active information is not limited to the physical properties of matter but includes the underlying patterns and relationships between things. He suggested that this active information is intimately connected with consciousness and that it underlies the way we perceive and interact with the world around us.
Overall, Bohm's ideas on active information suggest that it is not just a passive or static entity but rather a dynamic and transformative force that is intimately connected with the nature of reality itself.
Q: How is his work regarded by others?
David Bohm's work is highly regarded by many scholars and researchers in the fields of physics, philosophy, and consciousness studies. His contributions to the development of quantum mechanics and his insights into the nature of reality and consciousness have had a significant impact on these fields and continue to influence ongoing research and discussions.
In the field of physics, Bohm's work on the Bohmian interpretation of quantum mechanics has been highly influential, although it is not widely accepted as a mainstream interpretation. However, his insights into the nature of quantum mechanics and the role of active information in shaping the behavior of particles and fields have been widely discussed and debated by physicists and philosophers.
In the field of philosophy, Bohm's ideas on the nature of reality and the relationship between mind and matter have been influential in ongoing discussions on the nature of consciousness and the nature of reality. His concept of the implicate order and his ideas on active information have been particularly influential in this regard.
In the field of consciousness studies, Bohm's work has been highly regarded for its insights into the nature of consciousness and the relationship between consciousness and the physical world. His ideas on the role of active information in shaping perception and consciousness have been widely discussed and debated.
Overall, David Bohm's work continues to be regarded as highly original and insightful, and his ideas continue to have a significant impact on ongoing discussions and research in a variety of fields.
Q: Could active information be considered an attribute of intelligence?
Active information could be considered as an attribute of intelligence, especially in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In AI, the concept of active information can be seen as the information that is actively sought and used by an intelligent agent to make decisions and take actions in order to achieve a specific goal.
An intelligent agent that has the ability to actively seek out and utilize information in a dynamic and adaptive way can be considered to be more intelligent than an agent that simply relies on a static set of rules or pre-determined responses. In this sense, active information can be seen as a key component of intelligent behavior.
Furthermore, the ability to actively seek and utilize information in a flexible and adaptive way is a key feature of human intelligence. Humans are able to process and integrate multiple sources of information in a dynamic and adaptive way to solve complex problems and achieve goals. Therefore, active information can be seen as an important attribute of human intelligence.
Overall, active information can be considered as an attribute of intelligence, especially in the context of AI and machine learning, where the ability to actively seek and utilize information is a key component of intelligent behavior.
Q: What is meant by implicate order?
"Implicate order" is a term coined by David Bohm, a theoretical physicist and philosopher, to describe the nature of reality and the relationship between the manifest world of appearances and the underlying unmanifest realm of potentiality.
According to Bohm, the universe is not just a collection of isolated objects and events, but rather a single, interconnected whole. He proposed that this interconnectedness is due to the existence of an underlying order that he called the implicate order.
The implicate order is a deeper, underlying level of reality that contains the potentiality for all of the phenomena we observe in the manifest world. This potentiality is expressed and unfolded into the manifest world through a process that Bohm called the "explicate order."
The explicate order is the world of appearances, the world that we experience through our senses. It is the world of objects and events that we perceive as separate and distinct. However, Bohm argued that this world of appearances is not separate from the implicate order, but rather emerges from it and is interconnected with it.
Bohm believed that the implicate order is not static or fixed, but rather constantly evolving and changing in response to the interactions between the various elements and patterns within it. He suggested that the implicate order contains active information, which is constantly in motion and evolving, and that this active information plays a key role in shaping the way the universe unfolds.
Overall, the concept of implicate order represents Bohm's vision of a unified and interconnected universe, in which the manifest world of appearances emerges from a deeper and more fundamental level of reality. It is a concept that has had a profound impact on a wide range of fields, from physics and philosophy to psychology and consciousness studies.
EXAMPLE OF A 'WHO I AM' STATEMENT
Who I am has three primary colors, with many gradients in-between: the neuro-me (my human interface), the intermediary me (soul), and the universal Self/non-self. The neuro-me and soul are here to embody the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am.

Q: Could active information be considered an attribute of intelligence?
Active information could be considered as an attribute of intelligence, especially in the context of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In AI, the concept of active information can be seen as the information that is actively sought and used by an intelligent agent to make decisions and take actions in order to achieve a specific goal.
An intelligent agent that has the ability to actively seek out and utilize information in a dynamic and adaptive way can be considered to be more intelligent than an agent that simply relies on a static set of rules or pre-determined responses. In this sense, active information can be seen as a key component of intelligent behavior.
Furthermore, the ability to actively seek and utilize information in a flexible and adaptive way is a key feature of human intelligence. Humans are able to process and integrate multiple sources of information in a dynamic and adaptive way to solve complex problems and achieve goals. Therefore, active information can be seen as an important attribute of human intelligence.
Overall, active information can be considered as an attribute of intelligence, especially in the context of AI and machine learning, where the ability to actively seek and utilize information is a key component of intelligent behavior.
Q: What is meant by implicate order?
"Implicate order" is a term coined by David Bohm, a theoretical physicist and philosopher, to describe the nature of reality and the relationship between the manifest world of appearances and the underlying unmanifest realm of potentiality.
According to Bohm, the universe is not just a collection of isolated objects and events, but rather a single, interconnected whole. He proposed that this interconnectedness is due to the existence of an underlying order that he called the implicate order.
The implicate order is a deeper, underlying level of reality that contains the potentiality for all of the phenomena we observe in the manifest world. This potentiality is expressed and unfolded into the manifest world through a process that Bohm called the "explicate order."
The explicate order is the world of appearances, the world that we experience through our senses. It is the world of objects and events that we perceive as separate and distinct. However, Bohm argued that this world of appearances is not separate from the implicate order, but rather emerges from it and is interconnected with it.
Bohm believed that the implicate order is not static or fixed, but rather constantly evolving and changing in response to the interactions between the various elements and patterns within it. He suggested that the implicate order contains active information, which is constantly in motion and evolving, and that this active information plays a key role in shaping the way the universe unfolds.
Overall, the concept of implicate order represents Bohm's vision of a unified and interconnected universe, in which the manifest world of appearances emerges from a deeper and more fundamental level of reality. It is a concept that has had a profound impact on a wide range of fields, from physics and philosophy to psychology and consciousness studies.
EXAMPLE OF A 'WHO I AM' STATEMENT
Who I am has three primary colors, with many gradients in-between: the neuro-me (my human interface), the intermediary me (soul), and the universal Self/non-self. The neuro-me and soul are here to embody the Eternal Flame, the Source I Am.
