Solution to the hard problem of consciousness and Next steps for Humanity post Carona Pandemic
Anand Damani
I am loving the academic debate and deliberations in the group and hope Bernado gives mankind something that will be easy for everyone to practice and create happiness.
This proposal is open to improvements and suggestions and modifications.
KNOWING ME:-
The one who is aware of being in existence is the person who is writing this and so is the one who is reading it. Identifying and getting to know the “ME” or being able to articulate it in words so that we can explain to each other has been confusing mankind. I Anand Damani quote and extract from all the great scientists, seers, saints, and godly people who agree with and espouse this theory of coexistence, which is explaining existence in a very lucid way.
Basically, human beings invented language and started using it to communicate the existence that predated language. So let’s understand language as a means and not an end in itself. Being a literary expert and good with words is an academic feat, but can not be equated to wisdom.
TYPES OF LANGUAGE:-
Language is a way to explain, measure, and quantify all the things that are measurable and quantifiable. They are the physical characteristics of the element that we are trying to describe and explain. Then there are the qualities that elements possess that can only be experienced and not measured or explained in words. The feelings that we experience are for human beings to experience. We can not use language to replicate the same in another person. Arithmetical language and qualitative language help us understand the elements of nature in existence.
But we do not have any idea about the purpose of these elements using the above mentioned kinds of language. For that we have the causal language which explains the purpose of existence and that is something that we as sentient beings can understand.
With this backdrop let us try to look at the hard problem of consciousness. The Me that resides or coexists with my physical body makes me a human being. The “I or ME” is not visible but all human beings and animals can understand its being present. The alive nature of a physical body with an “I” and a corpse or a physical body without an “I” can be seen and understood.
UNDERSTANDING SOUL or LIFE ATOM:-
The existence of “I” thus stands proven. Now to describe the “I” coexistence theory says is a complete atom with 61 subatomic particles. These particles are all the same and take up the role and function based on their position. This atom is peculiar in that it has only one particle in the center and has 2 in the first orbit,8 in the second orbit,18 in the third orbit and 32 in the outermost orbit. Accepting this hypothetical theory we can try and list the features of such an atom.
The unique structure makes it Free of mass ,pull or pressure.
It is permanent in that it is Indestructible and will always remain in existence.
It has never depleting energy manifesting as thoughts,aspirations and desires.
It can bring life to an animal or a human being to experience reality.
It permeates and passes through each cell of the body at lightning speed and gives it life.
Various religions over the civilised world have given it names like atmaan,soul,unknown,black particle etc.The object was identified but remained a mystery until the advent of the Coexistence philosophy in the fag end of the 20th century. This theory comes straight from a person who had seen the same and explained the process of how each one of us can visualise, see, understand and bring it into the education system and everyday living to establish a humane global existence of abundance and peace.
SCIENCE AND ITS LIMITATIONS:-
For eg when we have a scientist tell us that the earth is x lightyears from the Sun that the Sun is a ball of fire. It is not that anyone has gone to the sun and measured the distance or seen the ball of fire or measured the temperature. It is an assumption supported by corroborative evidence and no alternative evidence to challenge or go against or disprove the theory.
We have many examples in history of many inventions and theories which later on were proved to be wrong.As famously accepted “Science is a process of constant refinement, with a knack for ironing out unhelpful twists and turns in the long run.”
IMAGINATION AND CONSCIOUSNESS:-
That understanding capability of each one of us is what makes us human. Using that faculty of imagination we can easily visualise the soul or life atom and see it function in ourselves in others we interact with everyday..Once we understand ourselves then we can also know that the others are also like us and accordingly behave with them in a humane way.Our everyday Interactions and understanding improvement motivates us to know more about ourselves and continue this study of coexistence.
This faculty of Imagination that we have already has the capacity to create our own version of existence and materials. Now if that is in alignment with the existential reality then we are good and in order behaving in a sentient way with other elements in nature including but not restricted to other human beings. So the construct of the mind is something that we all can create. The existential reality is altogether different. They can both align and merge which is the purpose of existence. Many notions and constructs in human tradition coming from generations are not real and only figments of imagination. We need to evaluate each one of them and that is the hard problem.
All constructs which have deeply embedded human society due to the hammering of those thoughts over ages are all assumed and confirmed to be real. That construct is not true and that is at the core of understanding the issue with consciousness. Neither is consciousness a construct of the mind that is fiction nor is it a result of some process in the brain still to be explained as Biologists or physicists claim.
The evolution and formation of consciousness or a sentient complete atom is an independent process that happens when the conducive planetary position is attained in the universal system of planets.There is no mystery and any purpose of trying to get to understand that process.So I would like to focus on understanding how rather than why. The life atoms or souls that are there on the planet now will continue to exist even if the earth is blown out and becomes inhabitable for this physical body to survive.This theory can be understood by us and that is the beauty of this process of understanding. More life atoms or souls forming is always a possibility in existence anywhere in the universe.
To formulate a theory to know and understand what exists is the objective of this human form of being.That is possible due to the coexistence of the life atom/soul in the Requisite neurological advanced hardware to support the process. We are well on this path and now that a theory has been proposed or propounded humanity will question, validate it and take a decision on the merits on a larger scale. And this group of ours is rightly positioned to question, discuss validate and improve on the same for easier understanding by more people.
For eg we human being have a feeling of trust or love and we know them to exist but we can not comprehend the same with our senses.That does not mean that trust or love is fiction.We can try to argue using analogies but these analogies will fall short in counter arguments and both factions for and against will end up going in circles. These are things which exist and are beyond the capability of explaining in words but easily understood by the human being. The limitation of language can not be a hurdle to decipher and understand what predates language.
The resolution of this hard problem is an OPPORTUNITY for human beings to understand their coexistence with the other elements in nature. The possible way of creating an existential harmonious world in order can be on these lines.More inputs from others will help us create this more.
Align thoughts, speech and action to have lasting peace between the various parts of soul and the physical body.I will try to explain the whole structure of the soul and the 122 activities it performs.How it controls the body and uses it to comprehend reality and live in it.
Contribute enough as a member of the family and behave in a just and fair manner to have a resolved and affluent situation in your family.
Create fearlessness in society by just and fair behaviour as a family in groups of families.
With other species in nature maintain balance and use them in a judicious way to help them exist and grow and support the existence of human beings till eternity.
That will pave the process for this planet to thrive and support the human race.
The learned and forward thinking men in this group can edit, modify and improve on this post to make it universally acceptable and put it into practice one at a time. I have started and am willing to keep improving to live in a humane way and hope to be joined by more along the path till the crowd is big enough to get the attention of the masses.
