Connection between mind and brain

So once we go into the subatomic level we actually see that the atom is not really an atom.

You know particles change according to their waves and they are particles only when you actually look at them. So it is considered the observer effect.

And it is really interesting because it means that we have these waves of energy and as we make a choice we create reality – which we do – so as you think, feel and choose you change your brain.

Think, feel and choose those three things always go together. Always thinking means you’re always feeling. Thinking and feeling means you’re always choosing.

It’s happening at like 400 billion actions per second constantly so we’re processing this world around us through this think-feel-choose and then we build thoughts so there is this structural consequence. So thought is actually a physical response of the think, feel, choose. And quantum physics is kind of helping us understand that. But quantum physics is real and is easy to understand with classical physics. So classical (physical world) and quantum (the sort of non-physical world) work together.

The nature of the peaceful mind

The following are the attributes of the peaceful mind:

  1. Does not crave for fame and recognition
  2. Does not interfere with the world till needed or requested
  3. Does not attempt to create an environment of selfishness
  4. Does not idle
  5. Does not desire to work for more than what is needed
  6. Does not wander
  7. Does not become jealous
  8. Does not drive actions which can be regretted later
  9. Does not fail to be grateful
  10. Does not grieve over what cannot be changed
  11. Does not hold grudges
  12. Does not retain unpleasant memories

Neti, neti. Not so, not so.

It is consciousness over mind and matter

Life is an experience is created by the interaction of the tangible energy and the intangible energy.

The tangible external world that provides the experience is different from the intangible internal consciousness within a life form that experiences.

Even the intangible, is differentiated into pure consciousness that is filled with sat-chit-ananda and other semi-tangible processes such as the mind, thoughts, memory and so on.

Every experience a life form has, rests on its own consciousness. Without one’s own consciousness, all the complexity of constructs of the universe and mind have no meaning. Thus, when examines one’s own life, consciousness is treated as real and the world outside as unreal.

The tangible world outside and the semi-tangible mind are constantly changing. But the consciousness inside is regarded as an unchanging observer. No matter what a human acquires or loses in the tangible world, the ability of the consciousness to experience is not altered. But when the conscious soul leaves the body, life is said to have ended and the body can be disposed of.

Because life experience is a two part process, which needs both consciousness and matter, the question of which is more important has had different answers.

People such as scientists and atheists, who take the side of tangible matter argue that the semi-tangibles and intangible somehow arises from the tangible. However, no such proofs exists of consciousness arising from matter. Stones, for example do not come alive.

People such as theists and spiritualists, take the side of intangible and argue that the changing nature of semi-tangibles and tangible universe makes them unsuited for building the foundation of life upon it. Therefore, the eternal unchanging consciousness is the only suitable foundation of life.

So the question “Mind over matter or Matter over mind?” has an unexpected answer because both the mind and matter are some what tangible and constantly changing. The answer really should be “It is consciousness over mind and matter”.

Uncontrolled mind

The mind is uncontrolled when it makes plans to enjoy the pleasures of the senses.

BG 2.62

While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.

BG 2.63

From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost one falls down again into the material pool.

Glitches not explained in reality

  1. Speed of light cannot be exceeded. It is a cosmic limit. It is independent of the speed of the source of light.
  2. Wave/Particle duality – Even matter behaves like a wave
  3. Law of conservation of energy. If everything is energy, nothing can truly ever be created. Energy in is
  4. Quantum entanglement. It is independent of distance. Particles communicate instantly. Reality is non-local, distance is an illusion.
  5. Singularity – center of a black hole. All physical laws break down.
  6. Big bang originated at a singularity.

How insane are these? Glitches are only strange if reality is viewed as material.

The nature of reality:

  • Mathematical reality
  • Mind based, mental existence
  • Shared experience, collective consciousness
  • Based on code
  • Not a simulation

Big-bang explanation – Mental energy being transformed into matter

Energy is in waves. Matter created from energy retains attributes of a wave.

Like in a bike game on a PC, the perception of distance is an illusion. Distance is a perception in the mind which also acts as a singularity.

Everything can happen in the background by coding.

Light is made of Bosons, which do not take up space. Bosons do not have a size because they do not occupy space. Size of a boson is not measurable.

Mind and thoughts are like Bosons.

Light is mind. Light and mind are the foundations of existence.

Philosopher Dr. Thomas Stark said

The singularity that precedes the big band is a singularity of pure light.

Pure light = pure mathematics = pure mind

Light, ontologically, is what unextended mathematics actually is. The big bang is a light event, a mental event. In particular, the big band involves the breaking of perfect symmetry of light. “Matter” is broken light…asymmetric light, recalcitrant, sluggish thought.

This reality is created by slow sluggish thought, frozen light.

Physicist David Baum said:

The universe consists of frozen light and this ocean of energy could be thought of as an ocean of light.

What all these show (singularity, properties of light, law of conservation of energy, quantum entanglement ) is that everything is connected, all is mind, all is eternal.

We can never die. Physical bodies may perish.

What we truly beings of the mind. The fundamental eternal substance of existence is the mind -it can never be destroyed.

The mind is in a spiraling trajectory of evolution.

Mind is the fundamental eternal substance that can never be destroyed.

When existence is forced into a paradigm of materialism (everything is physical), we are faced with all these paradoxes and inconsistencies and errors.

Notes to self: Matter is “putrid” energy. “Putrefaction” of energy and conversion to matter is influenced by collective consciousness. Thus, observer influences the matter. Matter retains the attributes of energy to enable reconversion. After released by the observer’s consciousness, the matter returns to energy.
