MarThe Autopoetic Recollection

 

Autopoiesis is the self check and self audit of every system and aspect in the mini universe, the cell, by the cell before it divides into two and ends its existence as one cell. Before death every organism too remembers and recollects its entire life, a different Autopoesis, may be before entering into another life. A human being too remembers his/her entire life for a few minutes before dying. According to Dr Raymond Moody, a human being experiences the sliding fast in a tunnel before meeting an apparition of ultimate bliss, a person in the shape of the pleasantest light. The light speaks to the person to remember his/her entire life. The light gives the sensation of total approval and acceptance of the person. The person wants to remain with the light forever.

The person then remembers and recollects his/her entire life feeling happy for every deed of love and regretting bitterly for every deed of hate.Today, Psychologists admit that a person remembers his/her entire life very fast within five minutes, before dying. The theory of a being of light speaking is still not admitted by Psychologists.

As one ages, one begins remembering and recollecting one’s life. One stops creating new paradigms of connection for more understanding, as one advances in age. The words, phrases, clauses and sentences, form the person, rest on the established paradigms. One can know the dominant paradigms of understanding by that person on the basis of the words that person uses.

There are also those, who have spent very purposeful and altruism driven lives, and who continue serving others till the last minutes of life. They die most probably with a smile of great happiness and they may actually merge into the being of light-The Siva.

Unfortunately there are also persons who have spent very negative lives, and for them, death is very negative. Negative language and denigration becomes their expression, even in advanced age. How they feel, when they ultimately undergo Autopoiesis before dying, is not pleasant to imagine.

As a member of the seniors forum, it is my fortune to meet wonderful people, whose Autopoiesis may be a wonderful orgasm, before they leave for their next world.

This will be included in my journal entry today:

Thanks to Markendeya Yeddanapudi, I learnt a new word - autopoiesis - thoughts that flash during the last few moments of life at the time of death.

Sorry,that is my view.As it is,it means that a cell checks itself completely before dividing into two,the meaning of Autopoiesis,the discovery of Chilean Professor,Humbarto Maturana and his student Hrancisco Varela.

Sir,

You invariably elevate my write ups,just flashes that occur to me in the morning to a very High Brow level,a level which often I cannot even understand.Thank you very much.

AUTOPOIESIS: COGNITION EVERYWHERE :In Capra’s hands, the idea that life is cognition is a way to abandon relevant distinctions, “the organizing activity of living systems, at all levels of life, is mental activity. The interactions of a living organism—plant, animal, or human—with its environment are cognitive, or mental interactions. … Mind—or, more accurately, mental process—is immanent in matter at all levels of life.” This is as deadening, in its own way, as the currently faddish notion that “the mind is a computer.” However, in the end, we have to reformulate all of the old questions and reinvent all of the old categories. This is little more than an intellectual make-work program.  If all life is mind, we still want to know what is special about human minds or mammalian minds or vertebrate minds as compared to bacteria minds and tree minds.

2     There is a book written in 1928 Autopoiesis and cognition by Maturana and Francisco where vivisection of the cows’ instinct after the food consumption is discussed scientifically. It’s a mind stagnant reaction where , when the whole world is presumed to have come to an end, by certain category of people, and who had done fast triggers on other people to climb up the stairs, using the heads of others, to climb-over, rewind the bad ones. Good ones do not grind over the past but rely on the Brahmam.

3      Knowledge is the product of activities of individual minds, activities whose subjects and investigative methods are - at least in theory - free; in reality, however, they are rooted for the most part in the social base where man is educated. In the modern Western world, this base consists of an established system of knowledge collected and transmitted to subsequent generations through a well-organised school system. For every branch of science, therefore, it holds true that progress takes place at continuously advancing frontier lines, thanks to which the process of learning in a new generation can bene[1]fit from pre-established cognitive structures, which, on the one hand, allow for an enormous economy of thought and, on the other, offer the possibility and the instruments to attack problems of increasing complexity. Scientific progress is, therefore, a permanent legacy in advanced, stable societies. From the quaternary to the modern age, individual cerebral abilities have essentially remained unchanged, but they have been employed in such a way so as to increase with time a collective patrimony of knowledge. owing to a tradition involved in every aspect of knowledge and maintained in an exact fashion as well as owing to an astonishingly synergistic amplification.

4    Progress is, in fact, possible, because knowledge is not inherited genetically by more or less complex coding, but, in a certain way, is continuously being codified and retained in some kind of external memory. This collective intellectual heritage is transmitted through communication, which presupposes a unity, a super-individual state, a communion (”cum unione”) of cognitive processes. Human civilisation is essentially bound to uninterrupted, multifarious traditions, oral, written, depicted, which encompass all intellectual activities. Already in prehistoric societies the individual was facing a patrimony of knowledge, which exceeded his learning capabilities, but he accepted it in compliance with an authority principle, whose alleged origins may even date back to a mythical past. The idea of progress, as conceived in our times, is completely alien to this traditional vision of knowledge that survived until historical ages.

5     On the other hand, the traces of any human activity, even if stored in the most durable artificial memory, remain of limited interest and thus of equally limited relevance and existence. For a short time these traces continue to exert a direct influence on society; their contents may be used as models, as sources of inspiration or be a source of criticism and reflection; those of greatest interest are absorbed by other more relevant subjects. In the end, the original remains are left to rest in some external memory from where, with only a few exceptions, may be taken up again from time to time until they fall into a permanent state of oblivion. The periods of vital relevance, of possible influence and of mere archaeological value of these products of human activities can be estimated from our own historical past.

6     ”Suppose that an ultra intelligent machine can be defined so that it surpasses all intellectual activities of the most intelligent man. Since the plan of the machine is one of these intellectual activities, an ultra-intelligent machine will be able to plan even better machines; that would certainly lead to an ”outbreak of intelligence“ and intelligence of man would be left behind of many lengths. Therefore, the ultra-intelligent machine would be the last in[1]vention that man would have needed to make, provided that the machine will be always obedient enough to tell him how he can keep itself under control.

7     Theer are many stories and vedic verses of Upanishads for the real autopoiesis in this land of which Bhaja govindam Ajaameelan, Puru apart the Bheeshma upadesam of the last thoughts are narrated in Smd Bhagavatham ( Azhwar in Tamil sung that when memory lapsed I wont be able to recite your name, so Let me do now itself is the best cognitive science) as under:

puruṣa-sva-bhāva-vihitān yathā-varṇaṁ yathāśramam
vairāgya-rāgopādhibhyām āmnātobhaya-lakṣaṇān (1 9 26)

At Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira’s inquiry, Bhīṣmadeva first defined all the classifications of castes and orders of life in terms of the individual’s qualifications. Then he systematically, in twofold divisions, described counteraction by detachment and interaction by attachment.

dāna-dharmān rāja-dharmān mokṣa-dharmān vibhāgaśaḥ
strī-dharmān bhagavad-dharmān samāsa-vyāsa-yogataḥ  (1  9  27)

He then explained, by divisions, acts of charity, the pragmatic activities of a king and activities for salvation. Then he described the duties of women and devotees, both briefly and extensively.

dharmārtha-kāma-mokṣāṁś ca sahopāyān yathā mune
nānākhyānetihāseṣu varṇayām āsa tattvavit   (1  9   28)

Then he described the occupational duties of different orders and statuses of life, citing instances from history, for he was himself well acquainted with the truth.

tadopasaṁhṛtya giraḥ sahasraṇīr vimukta-saṅgaṁ mana ādi-pūruṣe
kṛṣṇe lasat-pīta-paṭe catur-bhuje  puraḥ sthite ’mīlita-dṛg vyadhārayat

Thereupon that man who spoke on different subjects with thousands of meanings, and who fought on thousands of battlefields and protected thousands of men, stopped speaking and, being completely freed from all bondage, withdrew his mind from everything else and fixed his wide-open eyes upon the original Personality of Godhead, who stood before him, four-handed, dressed in yellow garments that glittered and shined.  1/9/30.
