Human mind as human awareness
|
|
| When we look at the word mind in the context of a human being, we are talking about not one, but many minds, operating at different levels for different functions. | ||
| 20th century scientists established clinical proof that certain parts of the human brain and nervous system perform specialized tasks in the cognitive function of human neural networks. Some of the most sensational discoveries in neural science was the discovery of certain parts of the cerebrum that perform specialized functions in the processing of sight, of hearing, of taste, of written symbols recognition, or audio sounds recognition, audio and sight and smell association, speech etc. | ||
| These regions are so unique that the damage of just a few neurons in strategic parts of these unique regions can cause permanent damage to the overall performance of that ability- such as speech, symbols recognition, certain associations etc. | ||
| While mind defines the function of the one, in short clinical terms, it does not describe the many. In our search to understand the nature of human mind, our definition of what it is we are discussing is vital. | ||
| An alternative definition to the human cognitive functioning systems needs to be applied. | ||
| 18.8.1 | An alternative to the word mind | |
| The first recognized quality we can say about human mind is the ability of thought- I think. The think process of self cognizance- I exist (awareness of existence) , I am (name) (unique existence), I wish to exist (unique goal). I exist as (specialization), I am location (unique position in location) . | ||
| The best word to describe a quality contained in all these understandings if the word awareness. | ||
| The second recognized quality we can identify in all of these descriptions is the uniqueness of who, what, where and why we are so completely unique living human being. We call this our uniqueness. | ||
| The third recognized quality we can identify in all description of human beings is the description of a multitude of complexities running, to make the unique living human being. The autonomous neural system, the processing of sight, sound, unique memories, unique cognitive functions, speeds and collective electro-magnetic neural wave patterns. Therefore the third common word to describe mind is collective. | ||
| Therefore a superior description of what we mean by the human mind is the words Unique Collective Awareness) defined by PSY. | ||
| PSY better describes the complexity, physical nature and function of the human being as a cognitive being than the word mind. For this reason instead of the word mind, we can describe the letters UCA- Unique Collective Awareness to mean the human self. | ||
| 18.8.2 | The difficulty in conceiving PSY as being the many and the one | |
| While the redefinition of mind to be UCA is perfectly legitimate. The difficulty is in comprehending the concept that the human being represents in perfect definition the many- the universe, the absolute, the one. | ||
| This is understandable, given our conscious awareness of our bodily functions is limited maybe to the background rhythm of heart and breathing, but certainly not conscious awareness of the collective functioning of all cells. The closest to this is the concept of feeling- of hormones- the reaction and impulse of hormones through the body- the waves of emotions. | ||
| A different definition is therefore required that aligns to UCA perfectly, yet is sufficiently different that we can accept it as a suitable replacement. | ||
| 18.8.3 | An additional meaning to the word Corpus | |
| There exists an ancient latin term that by definition meant " the many coming together to form one body, the many being the one and the one the many." In other words, an identical definition to UCA. The word is corpus, as in corpus christi, or "body" for short. | ||
| It is also the origin of the word "corporation" used to describe all unions of individuals by a legally binding document giving permission to produce, exchange and trade goods. | ||
| The word also means "life". Therefore, in using the word Corpus to describe the concept of unique collective of minds, of UCA, the word Corpus is perfectly aligned to the concept of body, oneness and life. | ||
| Corpus is used to define the human mind. Body of Life personified. Life personified. Life. | ||
