On The Brain
For your delectation,
below part eight of my correspondence
with the insane philosopher MadPole,
who is the only mortal who actually knows the
truth.
Typical MadPole
quote:
"The brain
panics when it senses change. And when it panics
it can be very clever in preventing its owner
from seeing this change, which usually took
place already"
eadon:
I have an Aunt who, when I upset her, which
is often, writes me an angry email and then
sends another one apologising. In actual fact
her angry emails are the only ones she sends
that are worth reading, infinitely more meaningful
and interesting and entertaining than her usual
fare.
MadPole:
Stuff You then ! :-)
We live in the world of multidimensional reality
or rather in the world of indefinite layers
of perceptions, interacting and fighting against
each other. There is only one truth: that there
is not such thing as objective, definite truth.
If I insist that something is absolutely true
(as I often do) that only means that my brain
tries to cling to some idea - usually out of
fear of unknown, out of fear of change. The
brain panics when it senses change. And when
it panics it can be very clever in preventing
its owner from seeing this change, which usually
took place already.
Balance is the only goal. Look at everything
around You - trees, animals, humans, eco-systems,
economical systems, parking problems - take
whatever You fancy! The only thing which keeps
any object or system of objects "alive" is a
balance.
So be happy, be sad, seek pain, seek happiness!
Just don't say everytime "THIS IS IT!" because
it is waste of your energy and dangerous thing
to do. By saying "THIS IS IT!" we are trying
to capture the moment which has already passed.
And clinging to the moment which has already
passed means that we get out of sync with our
reality, with the flow of our lives. And the
more we are out of sync, the more we are upset
about it. Then we try to cling even more, wondering
where we went wrong - whether in fact we did
not "go wrong" - it is just the fact that we
refused to move on and are more and more "behind"
which upsets us.
There is only one source which over the time
branched itself into an indefinite number of
layers and indirections. Computers are very
good at demonstrating how it all happens. How
layers upon layers are being built, how levels
of indirection, of illusion, start to bury the
source and how the illusion becomes so common
that it is treated as reality. And so it becomes
reality. We all came from this source. We all
have all the knowledge that ever existed inside
our bodies and around us.
Everything is product of evolution. Even a brick.
Brain is a thinking organ. But it is also a
PHYSICAL organ - and we often forget about that.
Computers are still working "around" REGISTERS
[A register is a part
of a computer chip] - whatever software
program, whatever game, whatever movie - even
this E-mail - everything goes back to the computer
chip and REGISTERS and then emerges from it
again. The same applies to everything in this
world. We do it every day - every second of
our lives - we are just not aware of it. Animals
and plants have more awareness on this levels.
And that's why I will never cease to learn from
them. Stuff my brain - any animal or tree is
much more clever than that!
There is a lot to learn from one's brain blanking
or dis-forming things..... And the human brain
is particularly well known for this kind of
tricks..... In fact one could come to conclusion
that the whole purpose of human brain is to
mislead, misjudge, cheat, lie, deny, hide, mislead,
manipulate and all other stuff.... The problem
is: who is "One Who Could Come To This Conclusion"
?! Apart from human Being who unfortunately
possesses... errr...human brain!
Aliens?! Even if they were swarming around us
our brain would reject them very easily. We
give it this power. There are aliens around
us. Am I mad ?! No, but I am scared as everybody
else. I just don't believe that my fear should
define my reality. Because reality is what it
is, not what my brain chooses it to be. My brain
is a coward. But my brain is not me. I am depressed,
desperate, suicidal, ecstatic, happy, enthusiastic,
mad, too logical, emotional, cold-blooded bastard,
addict, control freak and everything else. And
everybody who knows me could not disagree on
the statement above. If I am suicidal and ecstatic
at the same time, it is just a matter of choice,
which one to pick! And even if I pick "suicidal"
it would not mean suicide because I know there
is "ecstatic" part to it as well!
The brain is just a tool. We foolishly believe
that our brain tells us what is wrong or right.
We foolishly believe that our brain is our best
advisor, the only link between us and reality,
the only explanation we have, the reason why
we are here.... Our brain just tells us what
it was told. If we don't tell it what to say
to us, our fear secretly will whisper to our
brain and then our brain will just relate this
information to us.....
The brilliant thing about being a Human Being
is that it is the first time in THIS world when
species can decide about their reality. And
hence Christian, Catholic, Jesus, Jews, and
every other religion! They all say the same
thing: "What a shame! We are in position to
do it and we don't bloody do it! What a stupid
bastards we are!" And hence various religious
practices which serve only one purpose: "get
less stupid and start to take advantage".
