Anthony Peake の予知に関する仮説がダメな理由(途中3)

· 25 min read

はじめに

彼の予知に関する仮説については過去記事(2014.08.09)、

Anthony Peake : 独自の輪廻説に基づいて予知の仕組みを語る(途中:その4)

で詳しく紹介してきた。

彼はあちこちの講演や多数のインタビューで盛んにこの仮説を説いているので、かなりの自信があるように見受ける。

だが、彼の仮説は細部はもちろん、根幹部分にも致命的な矛盾や誤謬があからさまな形で含まれている。その矛盾や誤謬をざっと説明する。

結論を先に言えば…

  • 「人間は死んだ後、時間を遡って同じ人生を何度も何度も繰り返している」というのは、「時間の外」を空間的に捉えたための錯覚(誤謬)にすぎず、論理的に成立しえない。(タイムマシンで過去に遡るケースとは大きく異なることに注意。タイムマシンが実現可能だとしても、彼の仮説は成立しない)

  • 「人生を見守っている存在(Daemon:守護者)」は矛盾をきたす。

前置

上の記事は 6年前。6年も経てば Anthony Peake も自説の矛盾や誤謬を自覚するかとおもいきや、彼はあいかわらず同じ主張を最近の動画で述べていた。

そこで、Anthony Peake のその最近の動画を紹介しつつ、彼の主張の欠陥を別の面から説明することにした。

別の面からというのは、6年前に予定していた

結論を先に言えば…

  • 「人間は死んだ後、時間を遡って同じ人生を何度も何度も繰り返している」というのは、「時間の外」を空間的に捉えたための錯覚(誤謬)にすぎず、論理的に成立しえない。(タイムマシンで過去に遡るケースとは大きく異なることに注意。タイムマシンが実現可能だとしても、彼の仮説は成立しない)

  • 「人生を見守っている存在(Daemon:守護者)」は矛盾をきたす。

という説明は論理や抽象概念に傾きすぎ、直感的には把握しづらい(し、説明も面倒、よって大概の人には納得もしてもらえない)ので、今回はもっと直感的な説明を採用する。

00:00 guys i'm really um sorry about this uh 00:03 sudden decision to go live but um 00:07 the reason was that um earlier on well 00:09 yesterday it was day before 00:11 ivana contacted me i'll just give it a 00:13 little bit background information 00:14 um around about eight years ago i think 00:17 um i had a double book launch 00:19 in zagreb in in the wonderful country of 00:22 croatia 00:23 and um ivana and uh another lady 00:27 what was her name 00:28 [Music] 00:30 we're working for different publishers 00:32 both and different publishers who are 00:34 publishing my work 00:36 um and we decided we'd do this big 00:38 double event uh which we did and i was 00:39 there for about three or four days 00:41 and ivana you got me on everywhere i was 00:44 on the television 00:45 i was on radio i was going from 00:46 interview to interview but one of the 00:48 days of the most extraordinary 00:49 experiences 00:50 was uh when ivana and i were wandering 00:52 through the streets of zagreb 00:54 and the amount of people that just kept 00:56 stopping wanting to talk to her and 00:58 wanted her autographs and everything and 00:59 i realized i was with 01:00 quite a local celebrity and then ivana 01:03 took me to one of the record shops 01:05 and i purchased a couple of her cds as 01:08 well 01:08 and it was like you know it was like so 01:10 cool i felt like it was 01:12 i was living the life of a rockstar 01:14 which was really fascinating really 01:15 really great 01:16 um now we've stayed vaguely in contact 01:18 over the years but 01:19 nothing very definite you know we've 01:21 been friends on facebook and we've 01:22 occasionally sent messages 01:24 but over the last few days um or the 01:26 last few weeks there's been 01:27 extraordinary experiences taking place 01:29 in ivana's life 01:31 and she said could she chat to me today 01:33 so 01:34 we joined up on uh facebook messenger 01:37 and as soon as she started telling me 01:39 about what was taking place in her life 01:41 i was thinking 01:42 my word this this this this is this is 01:44 extraordinary 01:45 this is absolutely extraordinary now 01:47 just a little bit of background 01:49 explanation 01:50 uh when we had a coffee while we were 01:51 over there all those years ago we had a 01:53 long chat about 01:54 my writings and my ideas and 01:56 particularly my interest 01:58 in um the aura states of of migraine 02:01 particularly classic migraine because 02:03 i'm a classic migraine and myself and i 02:04 get all estates 02:06 and ivana was explaining that she had 02:08 similar experiences 02:10 but it seems that ivana's experiences 02:12 have become more and more powerful and 02:14 more and more intense 02:16 uh in recent months and it seems that 02:19 she's living through 02:20 the only thing i can explain is absolute 02:22 evidence of my cheating the ferryman 02:24 hypothesis which is quite 02:26 quite amazing so ivana could tell us 02:29 very quickly a little bit about yourself 02:30 and then we'll get into 02:32 um what was happening what's been 02:33 happening to you 02:35 okay so i'm from croatia and 02:38 we really didn't meet eight years ago 02:42 while i was working um with the 02:45 publisher 02:46 and it just like it was the 02:50 normal thing to like do the promotion 02:53 for the 02:54 for the books and everything we did at 02:56 that time 02:57 and it 03:01 it just like struck me like 03:04 oh you met some really interesting guy 03:07 like okay and we started chatting about 03:12 our lives and migraines for example 03:16 and at that time i didn't really know 03:21 everything uh about anthony 03:25 i read the book and it was the near 03:28 death experience 03:29 so it wasn't anything about like 03:33 uh perception or i didn't go into it 03:36 like 03:36 deep i was just trying to um 03:40 being pr manager i was trying to figure 03:43 out how to put it in the mainstream 03:46 how to like mellow it so 03:49 people can hear what you're saying 03:53 and i was thinking more about people 03:56 than 03:57 about myself at that particular moment 04:01 but i was listening and 04:05 when we talked i had a feeling like 04:09 we had this conversation like i know 04:12 some things 04:14 but i just like decided to ignore it 04:17 like 04:17 okay sometimes i i get the feeling that 04:21 i know 04:22 what some somebody's gonna say or that 04:25 something is important but i don't see 04:27 the reason 04:28 why it's important now 04:31 or maybe i just like went 04:35 on with my life and um 04:38 had like billions of little experiences 04:43 that was pointing me 04:46 but i still just decided to ignore it 04:50 it was easier than to 04:54 start to ask myself so many different 04:57 questions because 04:58 it's not just my migraine it's like 05:02 why i think that this is synchronicity 05:05 or 05:05 i didn't even know the word for it 05:09 and just a bit by bit 05:13 something just like started to come 05:16 together 05:17 and i didn't even have a anybody to talk 05:20 to because 05:20 like who to talk to i can talk to my 05:23 doctor about my my green and 05:25 my auras and how they are changing and 05:28 the sensations and visions and 05:32 distortion i i get and see 05:35 in that particular state 05:39 but everybody was just like telling me 05:42 yeah that's the way the aura feels 05:45 that's the way the aura works 05:47 let's put you on some medication maybe 05:50 it will be better um 05:53 they don't know why that that's 05:55 happening and 05:57 it's just something that i'm gonna 06:01 live with so and i accepted that 06:06 and after my pregnancies 06:10 perhaps the things shifted a bit 06:15 with my auras because 06:18 before that my auras 06:23 came um my vision distortion in my aura 06:26 was always on my upper left side 06:30 and every time when it's on my upper 06:34 left side it goes like classic like 06:37 going down fingertips like my face and 06:41 two minutes in the headache kicks in and 06:46 everything that goes with just the 06:49 classic 06:49 experience of aura but when it's on my 06:52 right side 06:53 when the tingling starts on my right 06:55 side and my 06:57 uh peripheral vision starts to distort 07:00 on on the right side 07:05 it just opens something like 07:08 in slow motion everything is 07:12 slowed down and even my body parts when 07:15 i look at my 07:16 arms and my fingers i feel 07:19 like i'm going long 07:23 and slow and 07:26 i felt like i'm watching myself 07:30 behind myself from from the 07:33 back of my head like seeing the layers 07:37 of me in front of me 07:41 after the seeing my like 07:44 arms and legs and floors stretched and 07:47 everything was like 07:49 in the like looking through 07:52 um a telescope body on 08:04 that by the way that is a brilliant 08:05 example because one of the things a few 08:07 years ago i wrote a biography of philip 08:09 k dick the american science fiction 08:10 writer 08:11 and one of the things that phil 08:12 described when he was a child was he 08:14 used exactly that analogy 08:16 the idea that he felt he was looking 08:18 down a telescope 08:20 and it was something you said before to 08:23 me the idea 08:24 of this kind of seeing yourself almost 08:26 in slices like you're extending in space 08:29 and time 08:30 now again i mentioned to you something 08:32 there's something called a specious 08:33 present 08:34 which i think it was the american 08:36 psychologist james first used 08:38 and it's the idea that ordinarily we all 08:40 seem to exist normally 08:42 neurotypicals people who don't have aura 08:45 states and everything else 08:46 the moment the species present is 08:49 is just the moment but it seems to me 08:52 that what's happening with you 08:53 is your your species present is 08:55 spreading out 08:56 as if you are aware of what's about to 09:00 happen 09:00 next and also you're in part of your 09:03 past so when you use that analogy 09:05 of feeling yourself in slices i was 09:07 reminded again 09:08 herman minkowski who is um was one of 09:11 einstein's teachers 09:12 he had something he called um block 09:15 time you know the idea that we are not 09:18 just 09:19 ourselves in this moment but we are all 09:22 ourselves throughout our lives like this 09:24 whole kind of long 09:26 thin creature that actually starts tiny 09:28 at our birth 09:29 then gets bigger and bigger and bigger 09:30 as we get bigger and get smaller and 09:32 smaller 09:33 and again the the british writer jb 09:36 priestly mentioned this in his play time 09:37 in the conways 09:38 the idea of these slices of time but it 09:42 seems that when you get into all estates 09:44 you go into something completely 09:46 different it seems that your world 09:48 you're accessing a much broader reality 09:52 than we ordinarily have and 09:55 i just wanted to get in there just to 09:56 mention that because there'll be people 09:58 listening here who experience out of the 10:00 body experiences 10:02 there will be people who experience 10:04 sleep paralysis 10:05 there will be people who experience um 10:08 the idea of um lucid dreaming 10:12 and they were all things that you 10:13 mentioned when you were talking to me 10:15 before and they're all things i really 10:16 want to focus in on now 10:17 so i just wanted to jump in to just put 10:19 it into context so please now continue 10:22 yeah so um it just started with the 10:26 little things and i just 10:30 couldn't really ignore it anymore 10:32 because every time i had 10:34 that kind of aura something would 10:38 happened after that like i would see 10:41 something that it it's in connection of 10:45 something else 10:46 in my life and now i would be like no no 10:49 no what like just 10:52 puzzled myself all the time so 10:56

and then i came to 11:00 some kind of crossroad in my life when i 11:02 where i needed to 11:04 figure something that was really big 11:07 and it was decision like really black 11:10 and white decision like 11:13 to do this or not to do this to take it 11:15 or not take it 11:16 uh change it or not change it 11:22 and 11:25 just like my intuition 11:28 many times before it was so loud 11:34 to choose it differently and i don't 11:37 know 11:37 why um why the word differently because 11:41 it's as i know 11:43 like what i chose 11:47 so many previously time before 11:51 well so the idea that you've been to 11:53 this point in your life 11:54 yeah many times yeah 11:58 and that you made different decisions 12:00 last time do you think 12:01 i guess that's just my 12:05 like inner feeling 12:08 and like i'm on a verge 12:12 of doing something completely different 12:17 i don't it's hard to describe 12:22 yeah because it's not it's it's it's 12:24 it's not the 12:25 um it's not the voice it's not the 12:29 um i can't even put a finger on it 12:34 it's just very loud sensation 12:39 as if something's trying to scream at 12:42 you but can't 12:43 communicate with you because this is one 12:45 of the issues that 12:46 um there's a possibility that 12:48 effectively if it's coming from your 12:50 non-dominant hemisphere

Anthony Peake の持論

上の引用の直後から、Anthony Peake は彼のかねてからの持論

この世界は simulation で、Daemon (守護者)と呼ぶ上位自己が繰り返し人生を…

▼展開

if you're daemon your higher self 13:01 i'd argue that 13:02 we're existing in a computer game of our 13:04 lives and we are 13:05 in-game sprites we are eat alongs we're 13:08 in the game 13:09 we're living this life for the first 13:10 time we only live it for once and then 13:12 we die and then we disappear 13:14 but there's another part of us that has 13:16 played this game many many times which i 13:17 call the damon 13:18 and the damon guides you through your 13:21 life 13:22 but it tries to communicate with you in 13:24 the only way it knows how 13:26 now sometimes this can be precognitive 13:28 dreaming 13:29 it can be manipulating your environment 13:31 in some way to create synchronicities 13:33 possibly 13:34 but i don't know how the mechanism would 13:36 work though because synchronicities are 13:37 outside of yourself 13:39 but making you see synchronicities there 13:41

Anthony Peake の主張の欠陥

一言で言えば、Anthony Peake の主張は、前半が独我論で、後半が独我論の否定になっている。

言い換えれば、自己矛盾している。

独我論とは、平たく言えば世界でこの私だけが本物の人間で、他人はすべて良くできたロボットだ…といった幼児的な発想の主張。つまり、自分だけが意識を持ち、他人は意識をもっているふりをしていると本気で主張する説。

なぜ、Anthony Peake の主張の前半が独我論なのか? Anthony Peake 自身が語った下の具体例で説明する。

具体例

(14:07 ごろから)2つ目の事例は Anthony Peake 自身が 1980年ごろに体験したもの。彼はある音楽 CD を購入し、自宅でその CD を聞いた。その CD の 3トラック目の曲(それはとても楽しい曲だった)がなぜか自分の死を連想させ、彼の前妻に「私の葬式でこの曲をかけてくれ」と言った。それから数年が経過した。そして今の妻にも同じように「私の葬式でこの曲をかけてくれ」と言った。

時は過ぎて 1999年か2000年の 11月の霧の夜の事。彼はイギリスで車を走らせていた。運転中、車の MP3 プレーヤーがランダムに曲を演奏していた。このMP3 プレーヤーには 16000曲が収められていた。当時は一日あたり 6~7時間、運転していた。さて、問題の曲はそれまで車では一度も演奏されなかったが、この時になって突然この曲が演奏された。

彼はその曲が演奏されたという事は重大な意味を持つと思い、車を内側の車線に移動させた。この時、彼の車の前には大型トラックが走っていたが、突然、その大型トラックの後部から衝突防止のための器具が落ちてきた。この時、車のスピードは時速 100km だったので車線を変更しなければ、それに衝突して死んでいたところだった。彼は寸前で命拾いした。

...

この二つの予知の事例から彼は次のような仮説を提唱している。

  • 人間は死んだ後、時間を遡って同じ人生を何度も何度も繰り返している。それはあたかも映画の "Groundhog Day" (邦題『恋はデジャ・ブ』)のようなもの。

...

  • 一つ前の人生で彼は交通事故で死んでいた。そして死後に時間を遡って全く同じ人生を辿ってきた。そして前回の人生の最後に聞いた曲が MP3 プレーヤーで再生された瞬間に「彼の人生を見守っている存在(Daemon, Guardian angel : 守護者、守護神)」が警告を発して危うく、交通事故を回避させた。

  • 妊婦に処方された薬を飲むなと警告したのも彼女の人生を見守っている存在(Daemon : 守護者)のしわざ。

  • このように失敗した人生がうまく成功するまで、人は何度も同じ人生を時間を遡って繰り返す。あたかもコンピュータ・ゲーム(シューティングゲーム)の中の主人公のように、殺されてゲームオーバーになるたびに、リセットして同じゲームを最初からやり直すようなもの。

  • 見事、ゲームクリアすると、これまでの人生のステージを終え、別のステージに進む。これが彼の輪廻仮説。

  • Deja Vu(既視感)は前回の人生の記憶の一部が(どうやってか)浮かび出たもの。

ref: Anthony Peake : 独自の輪廻説に基づいて予知の仕組みを語る(途中:その4) (2014-08-09)

彼の説の前半が独我論になっている

仮に Anthony Peake の主張どおり、

このように失敗した人生がうまく成功するまで、人は何度も同じ人生を時間を遡って繰り返す。あたかもコンピュータ・ゲーム(シューティングゲーム)の中の主人公のように、殺されてゲームオーバーになるたびに、リセットして同じゲームを最初からやり直すようなもの。

だったとする。

その場合、

  • 時は過ぎて 1999年か2000年の 11月の霧の夜の事。彼はイギリスで車を走らせていた。運転中、車の MP3 プレーヤーがランダムに曲を演奏していた。このMP3 プレーヤーには 16000曲が収められていた。当時は一日あたり 6~7時間、運転していた。さて、問題の曲はそれまで車では一度も演奏されなかったが、この時になって突然この曲が演奏された。

  • 彼はその曲が演奏されたという事は重大な意味を持つと思い、車を内側の車線に移動させた。この時、彼の車の前には大型トラックが走っていたが、突然、その大型トラックの後部から衝突防止のための器具が落ちてきた。この時、車のスピードは時速 100km だったので車線を変更しなければ、それに衝突して死んでいたところだった。彼は寸前で命拾いした。

という瞬間までの全人生で、 Anthony Peake を除いた関係者全員が自由意志を持たないロボットのように毎回完全に同じ行動をし続けなければならない。ここでいう関係者はたぶん、イギリス国民の大多数と世界各国の主要人物が含まれる(数億人レベル)。

Anthony Peake だけは、彼の守護者の警告によって死に至る運命を、いつかは回避できる(し、今回は実際に生き延びた)が、他の関係者は守護者の警告による運命変更は一切、許されない。なぜなら、他の関係者がひとりでも運命変更をやってのければバタフライ効果によって「(彼が)何度も同じ人生を時間を遡って繰り返す」ことが不可能となる。

つまり、ここまでは Anthony Peake の説は独我論となっている。独我論は幼稚だが、それ自体としては致命的な矛盾を避けうるので、ここまでなら仮説としてはセーフ。だがその独我論を Anthony Peake は自説の後半で否定しているので矛盾を来しアウト。

彼の説の後半が独我論の否定になっている
