The Mind Unveiled
The great problem of phenomenology is explaining how all of this reality gets packed into the interstices of the brain, and how does this unmoderated streaming service, provided by the five senses, reconstruct itself into what we think is reality. The idea that this is the way we acquire our sense of reality is preposterous and whatever reality is, it cannot be meat machines wandering around in the very thing they have formed in the brain. But if we put five robots in a box and let them absorb the signals sent to their brain, from their sensory apparatus, how long would they form the reality that is around them, in their memory banks?
Surely they would plot out the layout of the box. They would learn where the obstructions were. But would they be aware of the scents and feels of their world.
What is the different between memory and awareness? Without memory there is no awareness. Awareness is the awareness of ones own memories.
A machine can record events but it is not aware of the events it records.
But remember, the machine only has the signals sent via its sensory apparatus. It does not see the table, it on receives any signals sent to it from its contact with the table.
What connection can a series of electrical impulses have to an object in space?
But if the mind is the seat of consciousness how can consciousness evolve from electrical switches?
How can the brain be aware of information when information is the produce of awareness?
The dilemma of the phenomenologist is how to input information into reality. If reality is truly physical, what is information? It there is information, when did awareness enter into reality? How do we have awareness without information and information without awareness?
If the world began in lies, how would it have arrived at the truth? Where would the truth have come from?
The cell moves towards light and food. Becausse this is information. But until light and food became information, why would the cell even exist?
Biologists talk about evolution as if a process can occur without information and the existence of feedback loops. The stimulus must mean something. It must have information content.
The system needs to have a preference for the truth. To have creation or any kind of of evolution, first there must be truth; first there must be information.
God is truth and man is faith. Faith in the truth gives us information as faith seeks truth.
The truth is the light to which man gravitates in faith. The world is the information we gather. Without information we have no reality.
But how is this reality constructed? We know God is the author. But there is plenty of evidence the present configuration was not of His doing.
For one thing this present world is the world of the flesh.
The world that we are to be in is the world of the spirit and it is created by means of our sanctification. What is called the world is the church. As we know, what is bound on earth is bound in heaven. So in this sense the configuration we build on earth, is reproduced in heaven. This is the true reality.
The mind is this reality of truth. We cannot possess a mind unless it unveils the truth. The truth is absolute. Finding it the process of sanctification. But we cannot find this at the individual level. The truth, and the new reality and the church is composed of works of faith. These are works based on charity that build us up as the church. Works of faith increase the value of the church.
This cannot be done singularly. This is why Jesus tells us that where two or three are gathered in his name, there he is also and what we ask in his name he will give. This all refers to the sanctification process. It all has to do with the building of the church. Christians now the church is not a building nor tied to demographics. The church is what is left over when one takes out the assets belonging to God and the liabilities. The church is what in business is considered owners capital or owners equity.
The assets belong to God. The liabilities belong to the world, and the equity is the church.
This is something to blow your mind, when understood, and which I only discovered myself.
Have you seen the formula:
A-L=E
It is an insight into the way God has arranged reality
Assets minus Liabilities equals Equity or Owners Capital or Owners Equity.
Makes no sense to you, does it, but it reveals the very structure of the church and spiritual reality.
Assets belong to God
Liabilities are the portion of evil
Equity is the wealth man adds to the world through works of faith to build the church.
This is the Divine Equation.
In my writings I reveal the secrets of reality.
The mind reflects the equity we create.
Evil destroys equity and when it destroys equity it destroys the mind.
The fight against evil is a fight for sanity, it is a war for the mind of man, not for his commitment or beliefs but for the very mind itself.
When evil wins, there is no mind.
The war we are in is a war for the mind as the container of reality. It is what makes sense to us. Reality is reason manifest. When two or more people agree on what is real, there is no external objectivity to prove them wrong, there are only other humans whose minds have established a better truth.
Truth is absolute reality because truth is metaphysical and absolute. One obtains to the absolute truth through pure reason; the world cannot guide us to the truth. Only reason, by means of deduction, is able to bring us to an understanding of the truth.
The mind is pure reason.
Pure reason gives us pure truth and pure truth is the highest state of reality. But we cannot see the mind in a lie. To uncover the mind, we must reveal the truth. The truth when revealed gives us reality. This reality that is the truth, is mind.
