Optimality Of I Potentiality by Santosh Jha (the reading list book TXT) 📕

and true hypothesis. In the next chapter, we briefly discuss different probabilities about how intangibilities affect and shapes up tangible outcomes in our body and brain. This shall help us accept the hypothesis that when we talk about how our body and mind works, there are emerging evidences that our subconscious and conscious structures of self or ‘I’ have a causality, which we are attempting to discover in this eBook, outlining that together they work as ‘Media’ and ‘Communication’ plexus for each other.

CHAPTER 3

An individual surely has the liberty to choose any one of the three probabilities that we have listed above. However, as we have talked earlier, as contemporary science has not yet fully and irrevocably deciphered the entire spectrum of brain mechanism and processes, we should ideally be happily skeptic and entertain every possibility. This leads us to a larger and deeper understanding of how ‘I’ or self as body-mind platform of inter-activity works and potentials artistries for our wellness and excellence.

We pick up as many probabilities of realism that can emerge from the experiments and experiences we have narrated above. They are surely based on what science has also realized and experimented with, even while they still have to come up with definitive rules of engagement or law of causality. Moreover, science also progresses on hypotheses that emerge from experiences of human consciousness. Humans first decipher a pattern or a causality and then as we mature and evolve in knowledge, we objectively test the validity and logicality of those hypotheses. This itself is the progression of science. Therefore, scientific philosophization itself is the primary enterprise of being scientific. This is what we are doing.

The first aspect about the experiences we mentioned above is that scientific experiments tells us that even when we fake a smile, our body mind responds to it as if we are actually happy. This means, if we are depressed and do not feel like being happy at all, scientific experiments have confirmed that if we fake a smile, if just move our facial muscles that simulates a smile or laughter, it also has similar impact that an actual smile backed by actual happiness has on our body and mind. This idea is the core principle of a huge study domain of cognitive science that modern science has been able to venture into with success. As neuro-science has made great breakthroughs into brain function and its neural mechanism and processes, first time in history of humanity, we have a novel and very powerful prism of looking at ‘I’ or self in a new light.

We all know how in contemporary world, we have moved from behavioral economics that was based on archaic principles of psychology to neuro-economics based on understanding of brain science. Cognitive science weighs in how people see and accept a reality based not on objective facts and elements of physical reality but on emotional elements. For example, great numbers of middle-class people are buying big SUVs or luxury cars and large houses even when they do not need them. They do it because of their cognitive acceptance that as everyone is doing the same, it is the ‘right’ thing to do. This is neuro-economics at work, which markets and businesses pick up for brand messaging. On the contrary, if some communities in some European nations are consciously opting for small houses, cycles or shared vehicles, they too are guided by collective cognitive acceptance of this being good and right for them.

The idea is, human body-mind mechanism and its outcome that we study as different layers of consciousness seems to journey successfully with the media of emotionalism as cognitive domain seems to have a mix of physical as well as emotional elements. However, even as science has not fully established which factor weighs in how much and which way for brain states to take a final decision but it is now increasingly being accepted that cognitive factors of emotional realism stands as most dominating factor in finality of decisions.

For example, a man is out doing a risky job. His unconscious layers are perfectly wired to avoid any risky action. His subconscious layer is fully aware about the risks involved in doing the job. Still, his conscious self knows it very well that he needs good money not for his own benefit and pleasures but for education of his kids and treatment of his wife’s illness. He knows that risky jobs pay better and therefore, his decision-making is dominated by emotional elements, even while his cognitive spectrum is weighing in physical as well as instinctive elements of the realism. This cognitive economics is the most-traded coin in contemporary markets as brand communications are being done keeping emotional elements in mind.

Here, it is also relevant to talk about placebo effect that has been debated globally. We shall not discuss much about it but just mentioning it to keep in mind that placebo effect itself has been accepted by science. This suggests, there is a causality between ‘conscious’ acceptance of an element, which in turn somehow affects the subconscious and triggers some kind of positive change in body and mind mechanism. The role of conscious ‘thoughts’ and emotions in shaping some processes in subconscious layers is something we shall discuss in later chapters.

Also, there is a rather debatable role of Homeopathic treatment of diseases or symptoms. Many scientists believe that homeopathy is nothing but some sort of sorcery. However, fact remains that millions of people benefit from homeopathy drugs and line of treatment of many chronic and other diseases. Many governments spend big amount promoting homeopathy treatment as alternative medicine. We can probably see and accept that the way homeopathy treatment is done, there is an emphasis on patient-doctor emotional-connect and psychologies are played out in minute details while arriving at a diagnosis. Moreover, the idea of the mechanism of placebo effect also cannot be ruled out. Then, it may also be possible that whatever is administered as drug, it is in fact a chemical element that may well be akin to some ‘communication’, using the media of body-mind plexus. How it works may be unknown but it works, is a fact.

Then, we have a rather fascinating and modern scientific element of ‘Orientation-Healing’. This says, you are as sick or as healthy as you ‘accept’ yourself as. This is especially true about many body-mind conditions or symptoms like depression and many other mind disorders. This healing process lays emphasis on ‘Conscious’ orientation of ‘self’ towards a positive emotion and feeling, through aware thoughtfulness that ‘I Am Fine And Shall Overcome’. Even modern medical science suggests such ‘Orientation-Healing’ complementing the popular medical process through drugs and surgical interventions.

The core causality that is common in all the above healing or corrective processes are some sort of Conscious ‘Communication’ using the same subconscious media that every one of us have. The simple Rule Of Causality is that our consciousness has a mechanism and process where there is a structure of media in our body and mind, which is subconscious. However, this media does respond well to a communication that our ‘Conscious’ self inputs. This causality between subconscious and conscious that plays out between the ‘Media’ and the ‘Communication’ plexus is what we are attempting to unravel in this book with as much holistic wisdom as is available to humanity till date.

In the next chapter, we are going into details of this very core concept of ‘Consciousness’ as when we understand the consciousness structures and functionalities in detail, we shall have ease in moving confidently into the aspects of ‘Media’ and ‘Communication’. Consciousness has emerged in the new millennium of 21st century as the core realism around which the theory of Everythingness can be built. Knowing consciousness well also opens up better understanding of the infinite causalities that affect our life-living wellness and excellence.

CHAPTER 4

We need to assess first, how our consciousness seems to have been designed and how our brain states communicate with body structures, using which media. There is enough scientific knowledge available now and it is a huge sense of satisfaction that modern quantum science has focused very intently on the idea of ‘Consciousness’. We are attempting to elaborate on these issues to first arrive at a definitive probability as to what essentially is the ‘media’ that our brain states uses for communication between mind and body structures as well as between brain-body system and external milieus. Once we have a reasonably convincing idea about the ‘media’, we have better understanding of the communication mechanisms and processes that works for ‘I’ or self. That shall facilitate our own conscious and aware artistry of skillfully using the communication platform and pathways for wellness and excellence in all life-living situations, be it health, curative processes or general intelligence and common sense.

There is a primary hypothesis that is now being widely accepted in new millennium of scientific mindset, which underlines that humans are very closely associated with their close cousins, the chimps and other mammals as huge majority of our genes are common. We humans are different and way ahead of all other species of complex organisms primarily because we have highly advanced brain states. That exclusivity of large and complex brain structure with all its yet un-deciphered mechanism and processes make us stand on top of the pyramid of lives on Earth. It is this complex brain that has made possible a ‘Consciousness’ in we humans, which is rare and probably exclusive in this universe. But, now we have known that this exclusivity is good in many senses but primarily the primary cause of almost all troubles that humanity has had and continues to add more. This is interesting…!

When we look at and accept life-living realism and ‘I’ or self positioned in them from the modern and path-breaking concept and realism of ‘Consciousness’, we have ease in internalizing the ideas of the ‘Media’ that our body-brain uses for ‘Communication’. We also get to feel less revolted by this precarious realism that ‘I’ or self operates simultaneously in different layers of consciousness and almost certainly, our unconscious and subconscious selves dominate almost over 90 percent of our thoughts, behaviors and actions. It is a miniscule percent of thoughts behaviors and action that ‘I’ or self takes as ‘Conscious Self’ that is fully aware and in control of them. This stupidity is our design, we cannot help.

Important here it is to mention that it seems a definitive reality that all three major layers of consciousness – unconscious, subconscious and conscious, have a singular ‘Media’ for all sorts of communication, even while we are not even registering the presence of media and its communication plexus in majority of over 90 percent of situations. As and when we get to unravel the ‘Media’ and the communication mechanism and processes, we probably can understand better how ‘I’ or self stands in the milieus and acts and behaves. Also, we shall have good understanding of how consciously and effectively we can use this ‘Media’ and communication channels and plexus as the artistry we have narrated in the experiences and experiments above.

There are three major aspects of the realism called Consciousness, as science has so far deciphered. The ancient Oriental spiritualism had hinted about them many thousand years back but they could not know the Rules of Causality. It could be because realism has always been there and available for those who cared. Truth is singular and already there, we humans cannot create truth or realism but always can decipher and unravel it. This science of consciousness and cognition and the causality among them is deciphering many aspects of that singular realism but still evolving and has not yet reached a definitive stage. Still, the three aspects we are going to discuss here that science has successfully deciphered shall help us big way in understanding Consciousness. After that, we shall talk about the ‘Media’ and ‘Communication’
